KALOPSIA ✦ DR3
Tumblr media
Kalopsia, a Greek term that encapsulates the enchanting phenomenon of seeing something as more beautiful than it truly is. In matters of love, kalopsia paints an exquisite portrait of romantic delusion— a state where the heart, intoxicated by affection, transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. It's the magic that turns a shared gaze into a symphony of stars and a simple touch into a dance of cosmic forces. In the realm of kalopsia, love is not just seen; it's felt in the kaleidoscope of emotions that color the world with a unique, intoxicating brilliance.

user she understood the assignment
user2 The dedication to the tradition and the sheer adorableness is unmatched.
user3 in Y/N we trust 🙌
user4 What the hell is she even wearing? She should have just showed up in booty shorts because that skirt is too short, maybe she wants to impress the other drivers more i guess 😂
userA user4 i don't necessarily like her but that's literally such a dumb reason to hate on her 💀
user5 Y/N showing up in a cowboy-inspired outfit with Daniel is the level of couple coordination we didn't know we needed
user6 they arrived separately
f1gossippofficial They just entered through different gates, but they arrived together 🤷‍♀️
user7 Cowboy chic just got a whole new meaning
user8 she looks so cheap lol
user9 daniel ricciardo and his shadow
user10 She's always gorgeous. No wonder these haters are jealous haha
user11 Y/N stepping into the cowboy tradition with Daniel at the Austin GP is the sweetest thing!
user12 the amount of hate this girl gets is absurd!!! you dont know her. are you all seriously this deluded and jealous?!?! get a life she's a gorgeous girl who has done nothing wrong leave the poor girl alone
userA she's a cheater and a liar, Daniel deserves so much better userB userA do you have proof of what you're accusing her of? where you there to witness it when it happened? no? so shut the hell up
user13 Did anyone else's heart melt seeing them in their cowboy outfits? They're like a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, but with way more style. Love it!
user14 I can't understand how people keep criticizing a person and relationship that they don't even know. If the girl can afford to be in all the GP's then congratulations, it's her life, not ours. Stop being so intense with a relationship that is not even yours, live your way and let others live theirs. Let's just enjoy the sport and respect drivers private life

calder trophy

July 25, 2023
Tumblr media
Octavia sat on the edge of the bed texting Simon waiting for brothers to finish getting ready because they take forever.
She smiled at the text before clicking off her phone when she heard her brothers all walk back into the room, she looked up seeing the three all in their suits but she shook her head at Jack’s hair because what did he do to it.
Octavia was wearing black trousers and a black off the shoulder long sleeve with black and white low Nike dunks, she did a light makeup and straighten her hair.
“Finally!” Octavia groaned standing up off the bed slipping her phone into her trousers.
“It’s takes time to look good sunny.” Jack smirked ruining a hand through his hair.
“They why did it take you so long?” Octavia innocently questioned tilting her head before walking to the door and walking out of the hotel room with the three following.
“Hey!” Jack complained as he followed Quinn and Luke who were snickering.
Octavia just smiled slighty before continuing the walk to the hotel lobby where there parents were. They all walked down broadway to the arena and onto the red carpet.
“Taves!” Auston Matthew grinned calling out her name walking over to her, he pulled her into a gentle hug.
“Hi Aus.” Octavia grinned slightly hugging back before pulling away seeing her family looking at her with a curious looks, as Octavia doesn’t tend to like a lot of people.
“Auston this is my family, My mom Ellen, My dad Jim, Quinn, Jack and My twin Luke.” Octavia proudly smiled introducing her family to one of the teammates she is closest with.
“It’s nice to meet all of you!” Auston politely smiled at the Hughes having met Quinn and Jack a few times before.
Jack saw Nico and perked up dragging his parents with him to the Hischer’s, Quinn trailed behind them, Luke looked at Octavia and she just smiled nodding knowing Luke wanted to say hi to his captain.
Octavia and Austin started talking and posed for a photo together a media person asked for before Auston noticed her shoes and let out a chuckle.
“What?” Octavia scrunched her eyebrows looking confused.
“Mitchy is gonna be so mad.” Auston chuckled gesturing to his shoes and her shoes.
Octavia looked down seeing Austin wearing the same pair of Nike dunks as she is, and just shook her head knowing Mitch will be upset, and speaking of Mitch they heard his voice and looked over seeing Mitch and Steph walking to them.
“My Child!!!!” Mitch Marner grinned going right to Octavia pulling her into a tight hug, “We missed you!”
“Hi Mitchy. I saw you a few weeks ago.” Octavia deadpanned but accepted the hug from Mitch.
“A few weeks too long. Zeus misses you.” Mitch pulled back looked very serious.
“I miss him too.” Octavia replied with a very small grin, before turning to Steph, “Hi Steph.”
Steph grinned pulling Octavia into a hug, “Tavia!” She gently pulled back smiling at Octavia’s outfit, “You picked this one.” Steph smiled having gone shopping and picked out that outfit for Octavia.
“i like it.” Octavia simply nodded.
“I’m glad.” Steph fondly smiled at the girl who her and her husband have adopted as their own during the season.
Mitch gasped dramatically, “Guys! You didn’t.” He frowned seeing Auston and Octavia matching shoes, “You said no!” Mitch asked them to match and Octavia said she had her outfit already and Auston said no.
“Would you believe us when we said we didn’t plan this.” Auston mischievously smirked at his best friend.
“No.” Mitch deadpanned.
Octavia shrugged, “Well i didn’t willingly match with him.” Mitch nodded believing Octavia.
“I wanna meet your twin!” Mitch smiled excitedly wanting to meet the person that means the most to Octavia, and he tried to meet Luke during the season but they always kept missing each other.
Octavia nodded turning around, “Lucky!” She called out gaining Luke’s attention who excused himself from the group and walked over to his twin sister linking his arm with hers, “Lucky this is Mitch and Steph. This is Luke.” Octavia proudly introduced her twin brother.
“Hi! Winnie has told me all about you guys!” Luke smiled shaking Steph and Mitch’s hands.
Mitch awed holding a hand to his heart, “You talk about us Tavie!”
“Shut up.” Octavia muttered ignoring the smiles from all four of them.
“Winnie?” Steph curiously questioned tilting her head at the twins.
“Oh i’ve always called her Winnie after her middle name.” Luke quickly explained making the three nod.
Steph, Austin and Mitch all have seen a softer side of Octavia whenever she talking to or about her twin but seeing her interact with him it’s easy to notice how much softer she is with him.
Octavia and Luke saw their family already walked into the Arena, the twins walked in with Auston, Mitch and Steph into the Nashville Arena sitting in their seats which happen to be right next to them, The Hughes were in one row and Mitch and Steph behind them and Auston sat next to Mitch.
Octavia sent a small wave to Nico who sat with his family at the end of the row her and her family sat down in, Nico sent a smile and a wave back.
Octavia slid into the seat next to Jack and Luke sat next to her at the end of the row.
Octavia sat through most of the awards given out to players, clapping politely. Now it’s the Calder Award, the award she’s nominated for.
Jelly Roll a newer artist was the one that announcing the award, he walked out with a grin, “What’s up Nashville, I love y’all too.” The crowd cheered for him, “Ha, It feels right that i’m handing out the Calder Trophy because i am kinda a rookie of a year myself. But for everyone you see as a rookie or an overnight success there are years and years of hard work to going to that first breakout season, and here are the finalists.”
The screen lite up showing the finalists and then showing each one again, first Matty Beniers Seattle Kraken and a few big highlights from his year, Owen Powers Buffalo Sabres and all of his highlights, and Lastly Octavia Hughes and her highlights of her season.
Mitch reached forward shaking her shoulders during her highlights making her shake her head fondly.
“And the Calder Memorial Trophy goes to OCTAVIA HUGHES.” The crowd went crazy cheering for her as she stood up and was pulled into a tight hug by her twin brother.
She turned around getting pulled into a hug by Jack and quickly Quinn, before scooting forward letting her parents hug her, she accepted the fist bump from Nico.
She scooted back down the aisle seeing Mitch and Austin standing up and leaned over her chair pulling them into a hug at the same time, “Thank you.” Because Octavia knew how much they helped her this season, she sent a smile to Luke before beginning the long walk down the aisle between the rows and walking the steps onto the stage.
Octavia got handed the trophy and held it to her as she walked to the microphone alreadly dreading the speech, if she was being completely honest she didn’t remember a single word for the speech trying not to throw up.
Octavia let out a breath as she walking back down the stairs, she walked down the aisle back into her seat sitting down. “How bad?” Octavia whispered to her twin wanting to know how bad her speech was.
“It was perfect.” Luke gently smiled at his twin reassuring her.

You put a spell on me
[A/N: I was too lazy to wait for the end of the poll. also i haven't watched the show and wikipedia is kinda holding me up so don't get mad at me for messing smth up, i'll go on the fan wiki tho, they always have everything.]
[EDIT: guys I forgot about the civil war 💀💀💀 I finally fixed it tho so yay]
Part 1/Part 2
Masterlist
[Billy the Kid (Tom Blyth's version) x desi!oc]
Warning: description of blood, slight violence, flogging, racism, flogging, slaves, smut in maybe part 6?
Summary: Sheila was a slave taken by a British couple at the age of 12 for her singing. She was brought to America even though they had the 13th Amendment where slavery was abolished. She saw a friend of hers, who was brought with her, getting flogged and that was her last straw, proceeding to run away. Until she sees the most notorious outlaw in the South, then she settles to free her friends from the British couple that came to America for money.
Tumblr media
It was July.25, 1878, Lincoln County, New Mexico. Sheila woke up to nothing but harsh screams coming from one of her friends as she was beaten and whipped. She felt worried because the girl was new…Unlike Sheila who had been with the owner since she was twelve, merely because his wife liked her singing when they had come to visit British India.
Her friend, Catherine, was a sad sixteen-year-old, mourning the death of her parents. They had threatened the owners of telling law enforcement what was happening but they knew that they wouldn't do anything about it.
The other slaves ran to her screams but were faced with fear and did nothing besides revel in their powerlessness. Sheila sat there, her damp brown skin and greasy raven hair clinging to her shell of a body. She knew how this would end, knew that they would be feeble against the man–Edward J. Mason– but she was ready to clean Catherine’s wounds and reassure her that she would be alright.
“Oh, look at my slave, Sheila, so obedient! You never have to hurt her, Edward!”
The sadistic gray-haired man chuckled, kissing his wife.
“ And aren’t I glad, Penelope! We chose her when she was twelve, it has been seven years since, of course, she’d love us, this is why I love Indians! They always gift us with beauty and trust.”
They both glanced at the gaunt, starved girl before chuckling. The Mistress patted Sheila’s head and reached for a rake beside her, beckoning to the other slaves. 
Penelope Mason was a woman no different from her husband. Many wives were afraid of their spouses but Penelope was a wife who had nothing but pride in her bones. The rake in Penelope’s hand was covered in blood, meant to whip the slaves that threatened their control and most times Sheila could willing block out the screeches and screams, but now she just felt angry, ready to beat the couple with no morals. 
But she was stuck being useless to defend them.
Fear is a burden that was attached to her like a drug, and only withdrawal held her back from screaming her heart out.
Until she found a boy with the brightest blue eyes. 
From what she’d heard, he was an outlaw.
Billy the Kid was infamous because he was the man who killed a sheriff months ago, and chased out of the state. It was a mystery how he gained the courage to return to New Mexico.
“ Who’re you?” The man questioned, his vibrant cobalt eyes gazing at her with hostility.
Sheila didn’t want to think more about the dominant color in his entire posture and frame. His clothes were darker than sin and brighter than the sun, but his eyes were the only thing she could pay attention to, causing her to ignore their proximity.
“ I am a slave, belonging to the Mason family.”
He tilted his head, shocked eyes analyzing their surroundings.
“ I didn’ ask what you were forced to be, I asked who you are.”
“ My name is Sheila, is that what you want?”
“ Huh, I’m Billy, but considerin’ the poster you were starin’ at a min’ ago, you already know that. But...how did you...No, how dare they have slaves!”

WOW!!!!!! Can you believe it? We're done and it's time for the CSSNS23 Roundup!!!
Tumblr media
Before we get started, I need to recognize and thank my team of mods, @winterbaby89 @jrob64 @stahlop and @ultraluckycatnd, without whom this event wouldn't have happened this summer! Please join me in giving them all the long distance internet group hugs!!!!
Tumblr media
And NOWWWWWWWW... Here we GOOOOO!!!!! Under the cut, unless Tumblr ate it.
@hufflepuffinstorybrooke opened us up this year on July 1 with a wonderful soulmates OS called If You're Lucky, Love Leaves Scars, that I was privileged to make artwork for. The fic left me in tears and melting at the same time!
On July 3, @teamhook posted the first chapter of her fic The Last Witch Hunter, inspired by the Vin Diesel movie of the same name. Only one ch so far, but I'm absolutely captivated and eagerly awaiting more! Very intriguing artwork by herself.
@spartanguard dropped her Killian's evil twin MC on July 5, Sons of Love and Death, with artwork by herself. That artwork, of two incredibly handsome guys shouldn't be as chilling as it is, but IT IS... The fic is completely written and she's been updating weekly, so we're on ch9 of 13. Just sayin, but I'm about ready to use a certain dagger on a certain evil twin.
July 7 @goforlaunchcee posted Smoke and Mirrors, a HOOT of a ghost story, with such lovely artwork by @piinfeathers that perfectly captures CS in this fic. Three chapters are up so far, and I can't wait for more!!!
July 10, @killiansprincss posted her OS A Court of Vines and Shadow inspired by A Court of Thorns and Roses, with absolutely gorgeous artwork by @hollyethecurious. I was not familiar with the source material, so I was completely surprised and delighted with this fic!!!
@athenascarlet posted her merman Killian OS on July 13, The Merman with a wonderful visual on Tumblr 😏 Just a regular night between a sheriff and her merman pirate... Would love to see more of this, but it's staying a OS... for now, she says...
Also on July 13, @anmylica posted the first chapter of Fly With the Black Swan with amazing artwork by @zaharadessert. We have two chs of ten up so far, and I'm sitting on pins and needles waiting for more!!!!
On July 15, @whatevenisthisbloganymore posted the first chapter of Forest View Apartments, a ghost story that has the questions swirling through my mind and eagerly awaiting the next installment! Amazing artwork by @undercaffinatednightmare!
Speaking of @undercaffinatednightmare, real life has been very rude lately and has left her unable to post her two planned fics for this summer, but she has managed to make the artwork for them both that you can find here and here! I love her writing so much and I know whenever RL lets up, both these fics are going to be wonderful!!! *EDITED* The first of her fics, A Charming Curse, has now posted and it promises to be FUN!!!
July 19, @deckerstarblanche posted An Offer She Can't Refuse, with more lovely artwork by @undercaffinatednightmare. Emily only planned two chs for this very hot and sexy Omegaverse fic, but she took it in a very angsty direction in the final scene of ch2, and so has now promised that she'll come back and add one more ch to give us all the happy ending we deserve!
July 22, @zaharadessert posted a very hot demon Killian OS, Sacrificial Lamb that made bloodthirsty Krystal VERY happy. I was once again privileged to make artwork for the fic, with an assist by @motherkatereloyshipper who was responsible for the Emma edit I used.
July 23, @mie779 posted the first chapter of Finding Caldera: The Hidden World of Dragons, with just lovely artwork by @undercaffinatednightmare. The adventure of this fic is just wonderful! We're on ch9 and nearing the end!
On July 25, it was my turn to post for the event! Into the Light was inspired by the 1987 movie The Lost Boys, my very first introduction to vampires and it has never left me! Incredible artwork was created by @motherkatereloyshipper that still just leaves me staring at it slack jawed!
@hollyethecurious posted the first chapter of The Law of Surprise on July 28. Now complete in three parts, this beautiful BEAUTIFUL but also heartbreaking fic was inspired by the law of surprise from The Witcher. Breathtaking artwork was provided by @eastwesthomeisbest and can be found here, here, and here.
@xarandomdreamx posted her CS Practical Magic AU A Crystalline Knowledge of Love and Magic on July 30. Beautiful artwork by @hollyethecurious. Only one chapter so far and my heart is so broken for Emma and Elsa but also completely in love with the story!!!!
Rounding out July, @caught-in-the-filter posted original artwork featuring ghost Emma and vampire Killian that was absolutely CHILLING!!!!
@snowbellewells started Aug off on the 2nd with an incredible one shot, Deluge! Gorgeous artwork by @eastwesthomeisbest. I am so hopeful that Marta will eventually write more of this wonderfully intriguing fic!!!
Then, @eastwesthomeisbest was so inspired by Marta's fic, she made her own original art in the same vein as the art she made for the fic. Absolutely breathtaking!!!
On Aug 8, @booksteaandtoomuchtv posted the Prologue and ch1 of Witchy Woman. I have sooooo been waiting for this fic and so far, four chs in, it is hitting ALL my buttons! Artwork coming soon from @cocohook38.
On Aug 10, @cs-rylie posted The Journal, a seriously SCARY fic, only 3 chs in, inspired by Native American legend. Artwork by me, again with a much needed assist from @motherkatereloyshipper who was responsible for Milah and the journal itself.

On Aug 16, @grimmswan posted the first chs of TWO fabulous fics!!! Dracula in Storybrooke comes from the woefully underutilized Land of Untold Stories arc, and Love Bites (But So Do I) is a supernatural adventure of vampire Emma and werewolf Killian. Artwork coming soon from @cocohook38.
On Aug 18, @snowbellewells posted her second fic of the event, Carolina Moon. A fic inspired by the Nora Roberts novel of the same name, my heart is already, only two chs in, broken for Emma and on the edge of my seat waiting for more! Beautiful artwork again done by @eastwesthomeisbest!
@jrob64 posted Saying Goodbye and Moving On on Aug 20, a DESPERATELY NEEDED and ABSOLUTELY PERFECT fix-it fic from the Underworld arc. I was again privileged to make artwork for it, and I'm just gonna have to accept that I almost can't make picsets anymore without the aid of @motherkatereloyshipper. For this one, she was again responsible for ghost Milah.
Aug 22, @padfootprongslet posted the Prologue for Like Our Love (Falling Down and Over Again). A Mr. and Mrs. Smith inspired fic, my heart was absolutely SHATTERED in this first ch and I can't wait for more!

I laughed. Went in for another kiss right as the doors opened. Before either of us could separate there was a flash followed by an electrical whirring from a camera. It was her brother with his Polaroid. And I only knew this guy was Pugsley because he had the same dark eyes as her and a similar nose. Dressed in a black and white striped sweater with black slacks, Birkenstock slides, and box glasses, he stood there with a shit eating grin as the photo slowly ejected from the camera.
"Hey," he smirked. "You must be Tyler."
Silently and awkwardly, I shook the hand he extended out to me. "Yeah. And you're Pugsley, right?"
"Yup." Looking at his sister who was seconds away from turning his guts into her garters, his expression brightened. "Welcome home Wednesday."
"I will murder you in your sleep."
"No you won't because now I know your plan. You're getting sloppy Wen."
Eyes feral, she lunged at him and I intercepted her--hooking an arm around her waist. "No," I said with a grunt, "no killing your brother."
"I like this guy," Pugsley chuckled as he dodged her raging hands as they reached for him. "Thanks man."
"Yeah, no problem. But maybe not antagonize her. That'd be cool."
Removing the picture from the lip of the Polaroid, he held it between two fingers before handing it off to me. "Here, a souvenir. Welcome."
Picture in hand with a bewildered look on my face as he turned and walked away, I looked down at Wednesday as she growled her frustration.

This Isn't A Joke
Part 31 of On The Inside With Elizabeth Olsen
Word Count: ~6.2K
masterlist
Y/N POV
Saturday, July 31st, 2021
I fiddle with the ring on my finger and only have one person going through my mind.
"Y/N, you ready?"
I have all three members of Milo Greene standing in front of me. Robbie noticing my state puts an arm around me and starts calming me down.
While I appreciate it.
I wish Liz was here right now.
Since the date, it's been nothing but wonderful between us. A few days after that night, she had to fly back to New York for the twins' birthday and for her Hot One's interview, which coincidentally was filmed on my birthday, June 14th. So yes, along with that, my birthday came and went. I'm 25 now. She wanted me to come with her but I wasn't ready to go back to NY.
Oh! Liz did indeed get nominated for an Emmy for WandaVision! She was actually at her old house in the garden when the news broke!
Let's see... Liz and I were texting and calling every day. We even hung out and went on a few more dates. And aside from the make-outs, kisses, and sleepovers, nothing else has happened. In fact, I think I'm ready to do it. To tell her those specific words. To take that next step with her in whatever we are.
I promise her.
But right now, she isn't here, and I haven't talked to her in a couple of days. This isn't a joke.
She thinks I skipped town again, and according to Aubrey, she's scarier and hurt more than Wanda, which after catching up with the MCU, makes me feel worse than I already am. But tonight, I'll see her again.
Tonight she, along with everyone important to us, is here.
Because tonight Milo Greene is holding a reunion show at a small venue here in LA. What everyone but Liz knows is that I will also be performing.
Before you ask, I'll tell you. Since Robbie and I started working together, we've talked about doing something small together, but once Marlana got a hold of me, she convinced the guys to celebrate Robbie's sobriety and my own success with a show. So with two months of planning and money out of our own pockets tonight, everyone in attendance will be experiencing - INSIDE: A Life Performance
"You good?"
I look up to my bearded friend. Since when did we get this room? The green room? I look around before finding my eyes on Robbie again. I nod as he asks me the same question again. "I'm good. Just-" "Nervous?" "Scared.. About it all."
Robbie sniffs his nose and sits down next to me. "I get it. But after the night is done, you'll have given it your all. That's what's important." I nod along. "You're not doing it alone either. I'll be there." He nudges me and laughs. "Until you get rid of me at the end of the night." I laugh and shove Robbie. "Oh please, you're harder to get rid of than you think."
I lean into Robbie. "Thank you again." Robbie laughs before standing up. "Thank you, Y/N. Now let's kill it, huh?"
Here we go.
_
Friday, June 5th, 2021
Y/N POV
It's now 5 pm on Friday. It's been two days since working with Robbie, and I've just been relaxing and enjoying my days. I explored LA a little bit. Kept up on my running and have just been waiting for tonight.
Liz didn't give me a dress code, but I decided to dress comfortably.
I felt my phone buzz in my hand and looked down.
Aubrey 🔪
She just left Be sure to practice safe sex 😉
Jesus Christ.
Liz POV
I'm stopped at another red light again. And it's late afternoon in Los Angeles, so of course, there's traffic. I'd be so annoyed if I weren't so nervous.
It's the first time Y/N and I are going to be alone since New York. And it's the first time I'm seeing her since the airport.
The very same day where I told her that I still loved her.
And if that wasn't enough. She actually doesn't hate me. She wants to see me. She still wants to be with me. She wants us to work. Maybe not right away but in the future. So yeah, my nerves are on one right now.
I want tonight to be perfect.
I glance at my phone as I arrive closer to my destination. I'm still a couple of minutes out. I rhythmically dance my fingers along the steering wheel as I try my best to focus on the pop song playing through my radio. 
After turning a handful of more times and entering a condo complex, I see that I'm 500 feet away. I begin to breathe in and out as I look for Y/N.
And then I see her.
Standing on the curb, rocking back and forth on her feet. Phone in one hand while the other picks at her skin. As I slow the car down in front of her, I take in... Well her. And thanks to the summer sun still shining, I can. She has her beautiful hair down. She's wearing a long sleeve oversized cream-colored button-up tucked into her high-waisted blue jeans. And, of course, she's wearing her classic Vans. With a quick look, I see a couple of undone buttons, clearly showing me that she's wearing a necklace I've never seen her wear. Hmm.
Regardless she's stunning, and hopefully, sometime soon, I can call her mine again. I would've kept gawking at her, but I'm broken out of my gaze thanks to my phone.
"Is this you?"
I look to my right to see Y/N on her phone. I smile before opening my car door.
Here we go.
Y/N POV
I fiddle with the pendant hanging down my neck. It's one of the only things I can do right now to stop my hands from shaking.
I eventually do let go and guide my hands to my phone. Opening and closing my text messages with Liz again. God. Is this right? Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for tonight, but I'm scared and beyond nervous. I'm anxious for every reason you can think of, but I'm scared because... I don't want to let my love be known all for it not to work out.
I shake my head and let my feet rock me while my hands work themselves down in front of me. One hand gripping my phone, the other picking at the top of my hand.
My eyes become focused as the sound of a car starts slowing down in front of me. The windows are blacked out, so I don't know if it's my L- Liz. Just Liz. The car stops and sits idle. Okay... I pick up my phone and send a text to Liz, hoping that this is her and not a murderer.
"Is this you?"
I send the text and wait. I see three dots pop up before I hear the sound of the car door opening and closing. I look up; instead of the eyes of a murderer, it's those green eyes of the woman, I fell hard for.
Elizabeth Olsen.
Liz.
"It's me!" She says as she runs around the side of her Prius. I put my phone in my pocket, knowing I'm safe, and step off the curb as the green eyes woman runs up to me. She looks lovely. Going down from her brunette hair, I see her lips are painted with a dark red. Scarlet maybe? Hmm. As my eyes move down, I see a bright summer dress that naturally curves and flows down her body. It's look expensive and soft. Knowing her and her sisters, it could be from the thrift store or a place I've never heard of. As I gaze down her, she's wearing white flats, almost in contrast to my black Vans. Aside from that, she's wearing a smile.
Too cheesy?
Before I know it, her arms are wrapped around me, pulling me into a hug. I let my nerves exit through my nose as I breathe in, Liz. How does she smell so wonderful all the time? It's heavenly.
She's heavenly.
"Sorry, I should've asked or-" I shake my head at her. "Hey." Liz looks up at me. I can see through her eyes that, like me, she has doubts and fears about tonight. "It's okay." Liz's face goes soft. "Liz. Let's just get this out of the way now." I take a second. "I feel safe in speaking for the two of us when I say that we're both excited and anxious for what tonight means for us. But I say we let those thoughts go and just enjoy ourselves. Let's get lost and think of this as a soft reboot for us. And.."
I watch the smile slowly morph onto the brunette's face, which makes what I'm about to say difficult. "And. I don't want tonight to be mistaken for be being ready. I'm not." There goes her smile. "But tonight will help." I know what giving her a little reassurance will mean. Whether I just lied or not will remain to be seen. "Okay?" I ask due to the Liz's now being unreadable. "It's still a date," I say with a smile.
Liz POV
I know she's not ready.
Does she think that I think she's ready? Oh, God. Does she think I'm pressuring her? Am I? Fuck what was I thinking? I want to leave and cancel everything I had planned. Shit. The more I think about the plans for tonight, maybe I was thinking she's ready. I do want her back. I do. I do.
"It's still a date."
Those words pull me from my mind. "What?" I ask, making sure I heard Y/N right. She just looks at me and smiles. "It's still a date. Tonight you and I. I want us to have fun with whatever you have planned."
How did she know?
A wave of relief washed over me as Y/N moves closer to me before brushes her fingers through my hair. Stopping to move some loose strands. But her face looks like she is struggling now. I furrow my brows as she looks to me. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything. I just wanted you to know, and I thought by telling you it would make things easier tonight. Trust me, Liz; I do want to be with you. It's just I know I'm not-"
I stop her ramblings by jumping up and placing my lips onto hers. The kiss meant to last a few seconds last longer thanks to Y/N placing her soft hands on my hips. Pulling me into her before our lips part.
I take in the sight before me and let a smile get drawn on my face as Y/N's does the same. "Thank you for telling me," I say into the space between us. "Don't apologize for ever telling me how you feel, Y/N. I want to know these things." Now it's my turn to move hair from her face. "We're going at your pace. Okay? Your speed Y/N Y/L/N." A blush spread across her cute face. "Okay." She whispers. "Thank you," Y/N says as she bends down and buries her head into the crook of my neck. "Thank you for giving me this chance again." Y/N lifts herself up and away from me. "I'm happy we ran into each other at the airport."
With a crooked smile, Y/N replies, "me too."
Taking her hand into mine, I walk her back to my car. "I didn't know you drove a Prius?" I look back at her. "What were you expecting?" She shrugs. "I don't know, but this makes sense." I roll my eyes and laugh as I open the passenger door for her.
"Come on." With a pull of my hand, Y/N thanks me before her cute butt meets the seat. I make sure her legs are in the car before shutting the door.
We're doing this.
I make my way around the car and back to my side, sliding in and closing the door. I turn to my left to see Y/N already looking at me. I smile as I reach into the back for something. And once it's in my hand, I bring it down onto Y/N's lap.
"What's this?"
"Take a look." I pull my seatbelt on and make sure my coffee girl's is on as well before pulling up the directions to the restaurant for tonight. "Oh my Gosh!" I again turn to my left to see what Y/N is pointing to on the cover.
It's latest release of the People Magazine issue with my interview. While I myself am not on the cover, they did make sure to put a tease for me on there. "Did you get this for me?" Y/N asks, seemingly a little confused. I nod my head. "You told me you'd want to read it, and I figured maybe you could do that while I drive us," I answer it and look away a little sheepishly before I feel the comfort of a hand on my thigh.
Oh, and my stomach just did a flip.
"Thank you. I can't wait." I turn to see a toothy grin. "Also, does this mean you went out today and bought a magazine about you?" I fake scoff. "It's not about me! I'm just in it." Y/N laughs as I go to out the car in drive before stopping myself.
"Y/N?"
"Yes?"
"Before we continue with our date, is it okay that I kissed you before?" Y/N's smile doesn't waiver at all. "Yes. My pace is very much okay with that." I shoot a smile to her. "Good." And just like that, I lean over a place a quick peck onto her lips before finally getting this date underway.
Y/N POV
Twice.
It happened twice.
If this keeps up, by the end of tonight, I will have a girlfriend again.
But I can't let that happen. I'd be too soon, right? I mean, am I ready? What do you think? Who am I talking to? Me? I mean-
"Well, go on. We got a drive ahead of us." I turn to my left and let my thoughts crumble as I listen to what Liz is saying to me. "I want to know what you think." About?
Oh, the interview!
I nod and let the sunlight shine down on us as I begin to flip through, looking for the story of the month.
_
"Who's Geneva?" I hear a slight chuckle come from the only other person in the car. "She's this teen I met at the airport in New York. She came up to me while I was waiting for my flight and did the basic I love you so much and can I get a picture which was sweet. But then she told me how bad she felt for the two of us to get exposed in the manner that we did but how that moment led to her and people like her discovering that I wasn't so different from them." Liz takes a breath and clears her throat. "So that interaction led to what you're reading now." I nod along to her words and feel my face become warm as I am reminded of how much care Liz puts into her words. She speaks of Geneva as if she was a friend and not a random person she met.
"Well, I guess I should thank her too, then," I say as I return to the interview.
"Okay, do you really think you'll get an Emmy, or were you being modest?" I tease. Liz just laughs and turns to see my face before putting her eyes back on the road. "No, I really can't see myself getting nominated or let alone winning. Do I put my soul into everything I do? Yes. But I don't know. I don't see it happening."
"Well, I still have only seen up to the first Avengers." I hear a little hmm escape from the Olsen's mouth. "Maybe that'll change soon," I add on, which leaves the actress smiling next to me.
As I keep reading down the interview, I laugh at some heartfelt moments, like Liz trying to name all the infinity stones or her naming all of her favorite fruits. But then I see my full government name get brought up.
And this close person to you was Y/N Y/L/N is that correct?
"Yes."
Who were they to you?
"They were my- my uh- girlfriend. Yes. They were my girlfriend. That kinda feels like a relief to say out loud. We had been dating for about a month prior, and Harper-" Elizabeth takes a second before leaning in.
Had it only been a month?
I briefly look over to the woman driving. She's lost in the song playing through the radio. Her head swaying back and forth. Her sharp jaw moving as she mumbles the words to the song.
A month with this woman felt like six. But I guess when it's love, it's love. Besides, what's the saying? Time flies when you're having fun.
"I'd like to take this time to address certain people." Elizabeth is given the green light. "I know this may seem like such an impossible task to some out there, but who I choose to surround myself with or who I choose to love is not up for public debate. It is not healthy or kind to criticize them. If you love me, you should love them as well. The day the news broke, Y/N Y/L/N had disgusted, and horrible things said about them. Things I could not protect them from. It hurt me to see someone who gives off such a strong presence crumble under the words and actions of horrific people."
I swallow the lumps that's built up as my eyes scan the words. It doesn't help that I'm thinking about her turning to me and, in her way, trying to protect me.
I shake my head and focus myself back on the magazine. Not realizing that I have a pair of eyes glancing at me.
Liz POV
We may not have been together long, but when we were, I was quick to pick up on her mannerisms. She thinks I don't see her glossy eyes, but I do. I may be driving, but I'm not blind.
She's nearing the end of the interview now, and I want to know her thoughts.
_
She finished it. She just closed the magazine and is now turning to me- "I liked what you said at the end." At the end? "Which is?" I ask simply due to me not remembering.
"I want everyone that reads this to know that it's never too late for anyone." Y/N stops and places her hand on my thigh. "It's sweet." I blush at her words. "Thank you." Minutes of silence fall upon us before I softly speak up. "Did you like it all?" "Of course! Thank you for giving me a heads up, and thank you for not letting me or my name get crazy involved." Y/N laughs to herself, but I reach down and give her hand a reassuring squeeze. Her eyes shine in the sunlight.
"So I didn't even ask earlier, but where exactly are we going?" I turn to her knowing we're not only twenty out. "You'll see."
_
"Okay, keep your eyes closed!" "Okay, I will. I will just come on, Liz!" Y/N whines, forcing me to laugh as I exit the car running around to her side.
"Alright, and open!" I do my best to block the sunlight coming down so when Y/N opens her eyes, so she's not immediately blasted. It seems to work, as she's now blinking and focusing her eyes to the building in front of us.
"Mari's?" Y/N questions the giant word on the building, turning her head to me as I reply with a nod. "You've never been here, right?" I ask just to be safe. "Correct." I squeal and grab Y/N's hand, pulling her to the entrance. "Wait, Liz!" I quickly turn around. "I don't think they're open." I furrow my brows as Y/N points out the lack of cars in the lot and the fact that the lights are quite literally off on the inside.
"They're open," I reassure her as I hold up a set of keys. A shocked look forms on Y/N's, making me smile. With a turn and click of the lock, I swing open the door and allow Y/N to enter first. "Liz, is this yours?" She asks in amazement, looking open at the giant ceiling. I stopped at the entrance, waiting until..right.. now!
Y/N finally bumps into the only table in the whole restaurant. I watch as she looks down, confused, until I flip the switches turning on all the lights in the place. Some string-some classic, but it's all beautiful. Y/N quickly turns around to face me as I slowly walk up to her. "You did this?"
"With some help."
Y/N turns back to the white-clothed table. "Wow." I hear her whisper. "Come here." I motion for her to sit in the chair I pulled out for her. She shoots me a grin and makes sure to flaunt her ass to me before taking her seat. I slowly come around the table, only stopping in the middle to light the candle in the center.
Y/N POV
"You amaze me."
Oops, I let an inside thought slip out.
Liz shoots me a smile across from me and makes a grabby hand, which I give in, and the touch of her fingers once again makes a strike of lighting course through my body. Liz goes to say something, but before she can, a train of people exit from where I believe is the kitchen. "Miss Olsen! Thank you so kindly for tonight's event. My team and I are thrilled to assist you and your friend her in any way possible." The man speaking shows his thanks and gestures for his team to follow suit. I'm a little thrown for a loop here but watching the kind face Liz has makes me curious for the rest of tonight.
_
It's a little weird to make small talk over a romantic dinner with your celebrity ex, but here we are.
I've discovered that a close friend of Liz's owns this restaurant. The name Mari's is named after the national flower of Cuba. The Mariposa.
And if that doesn't clue you in on the restaurant's food, well, I'll tell you. It's Cuban. When I asked Liz why out of all places, she chose here tonight. She said to me because she had the connections to make tonight extra special, it's close to the beach, and she was craving it. So naturally, it made me smile.
Appetizers or starters have come and gone. Liz is still on her first glass of red while I'm on my second. Don't worry; waters are here as well.
"Miss Olsen." The same man from earlier stands outside the kitchen doors and gestures for Liz to follow her. She nods back to the man before turning to me. "Y/N?" Liz sets her wine glass down and places her napkin down. "Yes?"
"Do you remember our first two days together?"
I lean back into the chair and think even though I could never forget. "Of course." Liz nods. "Over dinner, we talked and learned about each other—kind of like now. We had red wine. Like tonight. But the next morning, do you remember what I did for you?" I go through the memories of that morning. Waking up to Liz's angelic laugh. Her cute butt. Breakfast in bed. Her amazing waffles. Is that the answer?
"You cooked for me?" Liz stands up and comes around to me. "That's right. Now come on."
Come on?? I look up at her, confused but take her hand. Trusting her.
_
The team of people that were here earlier are not around anymore. It's just Liz and me alone in the kitchen. "Now put this on." Liz hands me a white apron. That's when I catch Liz's eyes ogling my body. This isn't the first time its happened tonight, but this is going to be the first time I draw attention to it. Once Liz's eyes detach, I undo another button and call her attention again.
Liz POV
"Lizzie?"
I turned my head around so fast I thought I got whiplash. She doesn't call me that!! That's my name to her! I'm about to question her when my mouth drops, and I see why I've been called.
Y/N is standing off balance. Apron in one hand, an arm crossed under her breast, and a pout on her face. And! When I wasn't looking, Y/N took it upon herself to undo an extra button, now fully showing off her cleavage. It had crossed my mind if she was wearing a bra, but now I can see she's not.
She's beautiful. Always.
"My eyes are up here." I shut my mouth and bring my gaze up to her eyes. "Yes? I'm sorry- what-what?" I'm internally cursing myself for what is happening to me. Get it together, Lizzie. You're an actress.
"Can you help me put my apron on? I just can't seem to get the hang of it." Y/N whines with a smile. Okay. She wants to play games. "Of course, baby." I husk out as I gently take the apron from her.
I plant my feet in front of my ex and hook the collar around her neck. Brushing my fingers down her neck. I slowly make my way behind Y/N with my hand never leaving her body. I drag it around her and let my touch send bumps across her skin. "Stand up straight for me!" I bark as I smack my hands against her ass. She immediately follows my orders and straightens up so I can tie her apron up behind her.
"Good girl," I say before pulling Y/N by her waist into me. "Now, are you ready, or do you need my help with anything else?" Y/N shakes her head no to me. Maybe she's got something stuck in her throat, but I want to hear her pretty little voice. "Speak."
Y/N eyes widen. She wasn't expecting this. "No."
"No, what?" I bite back as I bring my hand up to her chin, cupping it. "No, I don't need help." I shake my head. "That's good to know, Y/N, but when we're in the kitchen, you call me by one thing and one thing only. Try again." I let go of her chin and watch the gears work. "No."
"No, what?"
"No, Chef."
"Good girl. Now follow me, and let's get to work."
_
"Well?" I lean down and wipe the drip of mustard on the side of Y/N's lips. Y/N laughs and swallows her bite. "It's fantastic, Liz. How are you not a chef? Like a legitimate chef?" Y/N takes another bite, and the smile she has fills my heart. Being with her is one thing, but seeing someone like her enjoying something we created together. That's another level.
After our little game, Y/N, with my help, made Cubanos along with a side of Yucca con Mojo Salsa. It's delicious and a meal that will never get old, even if I can't have it most of the time. Thanks, Marvel.
We're standing in the kitchen finishing our dinner as Y/N's Spotify plays an 80's playlist. Just like earlier, I'm being reminded of our first few days together. Us dancing in around in my apartment after she made me lunch.
I should've never let her go, but then we wouldn't be here.
"So, are we making dessert too?" I pop the last bite of the perfectly toasted Cubano into my mouth and shake my head. "You and I are done with the place for tonight." A slight frown forms on Y/N's face, and it's the first time tonight I've noticed that all night she's only been laughing and smiling.
"Is our date over?" Y/N cautiously asks. "No." I smile back, seeing that wave of excitement rush over Y/N. "How about you run out to the car and wait there while I grab things for our next stop?" I hand my car keys to Y/N. "Okay." And before I know it, her lips crash against mine, but before I can even act, she's out of the kitchen with her phone in hand and apron on the floor.
I laugh as I pick up her apron off the floor and disregard it before making my way over to the walk-in freezer.
Y/N POV
I've been sitting in the car for five minutes, and I can't stop thinking about how perfect tonight has been. Liz has been knocking it out of the park. On top of that, she's been so kind and caring tonight. She's perfect. She's Elizabeth Fucking Olsen, and I want nothing more than to tell her I love her again.
I giggle to myself as I watch Liz walk out of the restaurant with a cooler in hand. Liz places it in the backseat before taking her place in the driver's seat. "Hi."
"Hi!" She shoots back with an amused laugh.
"What's in the back?" I gesture with my head. "You'll see, baby. You'll see." I bite my lower lip and pull it into my mouth. Baby huh?
_
The door to my right opens up, and I hear the sweet voice of my Liz. "Okay, once again, trust me."
"I will. I do. Just hold on."
My eyes are closed once again as we've reached our second location. Liz is helping me out of the car, and I'm hit with a gust of wind pushing me out of Liz's grip. "Hold on." She laughs as she wraps her arm around mine.
Well, I know we're outside.
"How much longer?" "Jeez, patience, Y/N!" Liz slaps my arm as we start walking. Thanks to the sounds of the floor beneath my feet, I take it we're on a boardwalk. But aren't those usually crowded? I don't hear anyone around us. "Okay, now we're going to go some steps, so hold on tight while I help you. Okay?" "Yes, Chef." I let a cheesy smile out, which breaks into a laugh once I hear Liz huff. "Good thing you're pretty." "Hey!" Now Liz laughs as we reach what I assume is the bottom of the steps because, no, my feet are walking on soft, uneven flooring?
"Where are we?"
"You'll see. We're almost there. It's almost time."
"For what?" I ask, confused, which gets no response. "Liz?" She doesn't answer me as she stops me. "Okay, on the count of three, I want you to open your eyes." I nod to her.
"One."
I hear Liz shuffle next to me.
"Two."
She wraps an arm around me and leans herself into me.
"Three."
I open my eyes to see the bottom of the sun press itself into the ocean. The clouds above us shift into a hue of oranges and pinks while the warm ocean air has a swift cold breeze running underneath it. "Wow." Is all breath out before looking to my left. Liz. "I never get tired of seeing this. It's beautiful, isn't it?" I smile as I keep my eyes on the Olsen.
"Yes, it is." 
She shifts herself under me, but by the time she looks up at me, I'm already back to looking at the sun hiding away behind the Pacific waters.
"You are too."
Liz POV
Y/N goes to look down, but before she can, I have my scarlet red lips press into her cheek.
"Mine," I whisper to myself once I unwrap myself from Y/N.
"Thank you for everything tonight, Liz. It's just.." Y/N trails off as her eyes find mine. I nod along because I know. "I know. You're welcome. But the nights not over." She looks out to the sun as we both watch it disappear. "Turn around," I say to her, and without missing a beat, Y/N turns to see a little picnic set up. A blanket laid out on the sand. Candles. Blankets. The cooler from Mari's filled with chocolate and fruits.
And a jewelry box.
"You're really setting the bar for next time."
"Next time, huh?" I raise an eyebrow once Y/N realizes she let a thought slip out. "Of course. You're outdoing yourself, Liz. And I love it." She says like an embarrassed giddy kid before taking a seat on the blanket, patting the spot between her open legs.
God, I love you.
I take my spot between her legs and pull the cooler closer to us. I pull out two waters from the inside with a plate of chocolate-covered raspberries. Once those items are safely out, that's when I feel two arms snake their way around me.
The feeling I have in my stomach explodes.
This is right.
I close my eyes to the sounds of the ocean waves crashing and let my head rest against Y/N's chest. "You're cozy," I mumble. "Only for you." She mumbles back. She must have her eyes closed too.
_
I'm not exactly sure how much time has passed, but when I open my eyes again, I see that I've been covered with a blanket, and four of the raspberries are gone.
"Hey, sleepy?"
"Hey." I blink my eyes open a bit more and see a smiling Y/N. "How long was I-" "Only like 20 minutes. Not along. It was cute." I blush upon hearing that, but I'm glad.
I lean myself up while still laying against Y/N and pop a couple of pieces of fruit into my mouth. A quick peck gets placed upon my head, causing me to turn to Y/N. She's wearing a smile, but she looks nervous. Not in her face but in her eyes. "What's up?"
"I- I want to give you something?" I tilt my head, surprised. "Okay."
"Okay. Face forward and close your eyes." Hmm. "A lot of eye-closing today." "Blame yourself." I roll my eyes underneath my eyelids and wait till I'm told to open them. I feel and hear Y/N behind me, but it's not until I feel a cold piece of jewelry around my neck that I gasp. "What is this?"
"Open your eyes and find out." She whispers to me.
I do, and when I look down, I can't help but take note of the familiarity. "Y/N, is this-" I stop speaking when I look back and see that, yes, it is. It's Y/N's necklace. The one she's been wearing all night. "It's for you. I bought it yesterday. I knew I'd forget it unless I wore it. But it's for you."
I look down again and closely inspect it.
"It's a primrose pressed and dipped in resin. It's your-"
"My birth flower." I swallow the happy tears I have threatened to spill out. "I-um- I have something to give you too!" I lean over and wipe my eyes, knowing I'm probably going to cry anyways. I grab the jewelry box and turn around, so I'm sitting in front of Y/N. "Don't worry; I'm not proposing!" Y/N laughs, which makes what I'm about to do easier.
"Like you, I also went out yesterday and got you something. Now I know we don't know exactly what we are, and I know we are going at your pace, but I want to give this to you." I shift on my knees and open the box for Y/N. "It's a little juvenile and maybe unwanted, but it's a promise ring. Y/N." I take the ring out of the box and grab Y/N's left hand. I drop the ring into her palm and close it. "I promise that I will always love you. I promise that I will spend the rest of my days letting you know that you are wanted. That your happiness is one of the most important things to me. I promise to always be honest. I promise to always support you." The tears have started and aren't stopping. "I promise never to let you go unless you want me to. Yo-you, you don't need to accept this. But I needed to do this because I.. I love you, Y/N."
I stare into Y/N's eyes, and that's when I see the tears falling from hers. "Oh, Y/N." I cup my hands around her face and feel better when a smile beams from her. "I-I.. L- I accept this." Y/N opens her palms and places the ring onto her finger. "Thank you so much!" It fits like a glove, and seeing it on her makes the two of us explode into happy tears. "I love you, Y/N."
Y/N wraps their arms around me and pulls me onto her. I let this kiss and the rest to follow let her know precisely what I mean.
Y/N POV
I love you.
A/N: But quite possibly the most fluff-filled thing I've ever written???

Who's ready for sad fan theory??
All aboard for some sad TriMax feels, spoilers ahead!
Trigun Stampede did a tidy job of cleaning up a few plot holes left behind by Mr. Nightow, esp. the one that bothered me a lot-- how the devil Conrad never died of old age. See figure 1 and figure 2 below, Conrad when he first meets the twins (a bit of hair) and at the time of his death (no hair)
Tumblr media
Looking pretty good for a 200+ year old guy. He went from a balding man clocking in his 30s, to IDK, late-40s (or however Nightow feels like drawing him in any particular frame lol). How? Let's inventory what we can be sure of:
Conrad was born and raised somewhere in outer-space, perhaps Earth, perhaps not.
He is an accomplished space-stuff engineer, and a top crewmember of SEEDS, he's brought in and out of cryo sleep for emergencies
Somehow he survived the same crash that killed Rem, and made a comfortable life under the name Count Revenant Vasquez
Knives just shows up in his living room one night to recruit him
However, it did take more than 80 years for Knives to mature into an adult. Eighty! See Figure 3 below, from Vol 12 Ch 5, he still has a relatively boy-like countenance. Don't worry about what he's up to in this scene, shhhhh, it's fine.
Tumblr media
So guessing that Knives finished maturing into an adult, found his favorite space fashion, and learned how to manspread on a couch (See Fig. 5), that must have been another 10-20 years, maybe?
Tumblr media
Conrad was definitely at July before and after its destruction. He helped Legato pull Knives out of the rubble. That means we have a minimum of ~25 years. So the window of time for entering Knives service is 60-25 years. I'm going to spitball that at the start of the story, he spent 110 years as the Count, and then 40 years as Knives's subordinate. Math: I did it. You're welcome.
He only looks like he's aged 30 years (max) from start to finish, though.... It's somewhat plausible that he could afford to pay for more cryosleep as Count Vasquez on and off for 110 years, but would Knives also let his top scientist cryosleep as much as he wanted for another 40-ish years? (This is not accounting for any special treatment from obvious daddy issues because Knives kept Conrad around as a secret father figure.)
Tumblr media
Figure 6: Pictured: Proto-Knives, Definitely
Would it even be that practical for ship survivors/Knives/anyone to just sit on that kind of knowledge/experience for years at a time, in a desperate place such as this? Or maybe... he just wasn't aging. He's a space person who was genetically modified to keep Project SEEDS going for as long as possible. And The Count was an alias created after it became obvious he wasn't getting older.
But you know who was also a top crewmate. Someone who would been also modified to ensure the best possible odds for SEEDS...
Tumblr media
It's likely Rem would have also had Conrad's dubiously long lifespan. Rem, and Vash, and Knives (and maybe even Conrad, even though he's a lame ass loser) could have been a family for 150+ years. Or, if I'm totally wrong here, she could have similarly been afforded the same privileged treatment Conrad managed to secure for himself (in the middle of century-and-a-half long crisis, no less).
All this time... they might have been happy. And Knives? He's no dummy. He knew.
Tumblr media
What's he supposed to say about people he's not supposed to care about?

Luke was clearly badly hurt by the thought that 25 years on, Bobby had changed his name, took credit for all of Luke's music and seemingly forgot entirely that Luke, Alex and Reggie had ever existed in the first place. He was hurt by someone he thought was his friend and, knowing how being abandoned and forgotten felt, very much did not want to do that to Julie. So he didn't.
Like, when he talked about becoming a legend like Dave Grohl (who as far as I know from Wikipedia, had not done solo stuff at that point), it was always a "we", "us", and "our" thing. He's the lead and his friends are by his side with him and that's just how it is. He talked about Sunset Curve being in the Hall Of Fame. Never Luke Patterson, the solo artist.
Just take a look at the Now Or Never lyrics and it will reaffirm that.
Countdown 'till we blast open the top
But we don't get older, no Kept on climbing 'Till our stars collided
And all the times we fell behind
'Cause we're still rising Up right now And even if we Hit the ground We'll still fly Keep dreaming like we'll live forever
Clocks move faster 'Cause it's all we're after now
Won't stop climbing 'Cause this is our time, yeah
It was always going to be Sunset Curve rocking the charts and ruling the world together.
Until his, Alex, and Reggie's deaths. Then the four-piece band became a three-piece band.
We gotta get, we gotta get ready
Whoa, this band is back Whoa, this band is back
We gotta get, wanna get, we gotta get ready
Until joining Julie And The Phantoms. Then it was going to be the four of them rocking the charts together. I mean, just look at their lyrics.
Together I think that we can make it Come on let's run and
Rise through the night, you and I We will fight to shine together
Life is a risk but we will take it
We're no liars, so we say what we wanna say
So we push all our fears away
And you're a part of me
Been so long and now we're finally free
We're all bright now What a sight now Coming out like we're fireworks
Marching on proud Turn it up loud Cause now we know what we're worth
We know we can make it We're not falling down under
We come bouncing back We all got a second act, inside of us
I believe that we're just one dream Away from who we're meant to be That we're standing on the edge of Something big, something crazy Our best days are yet unknown That this moment is ours to own
'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
We all make mistakes But they're just stepping stones To take us where we wanna go It's never straight, no
Sometimes we gotta lean Lean on someone else To get a little help Until we find our way
So of course he was never going to say yes to Caleb's deal. Like, sure, taking the deal would mean fame, recognition and all that, but he only wanted that if he got it with his friends.
All of his friends.
That includes Julie now. So of course he was going to do everything to apologize to Julie after ditching the dance and hope to God they could regain her trust, and of course he was going to resist Caleb's enticing arguments and outright reject the man.
Because Julie's his friend. Julie, who he felt comfortable to just hand over Bright to, just hand over his entire journal to, just let her watch him sing his apology to his parents, all vulnerable actions, is his friend.
Because Caleb's not his friend. As much as Caleb tried to act like it whenever he talked to the guys during The Other Side Of Hollywood, he's not a friend. He's just some guy that's sparkly and puts on a flashy show.
All of this to say, Luke was just a teenage boy who wanted to play music with his friends.

For: @angelkait
Genre: FLUFFY
Pairings: kait/Gavin
Tw: none
(Self-insert/kait)
This is for the redacted audio writers gift exchange also thanks too @the-sugar-crash for hosting this!!!
——————
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring- not even a mouse.. well maybe a couple wrapping presents..
—-
“Kaity?, awh baby are you tired?” Kait rose her head to see her husband trying to finish wrapping the last few presents for their son, rylen.
“Oh gav, sorry.. im just kinda tired I guess,” he cut her off.
“, here deviant let me..” he said taking the toy dinosaur from her hands
She nodded handing it to her husband, who happily obliged to finish the job for his tired partner.
“Thanks gav.. I’m sorry guess I’m kinda worn out from trying to get rylen to lie down, he was kinda jumpy today, well it is Christmas after all..” I said slowly standing up.
“It’s okay, I’m happy to help, I swear it’s no trouble..” he swore. smiling softly, admiring kaits tired beautiful face, slightly blushing, a little yawn escaping her lips.
“Heh.” He let out a little chuckle, remembering how they met, and how they were here now.
“What?” She asked smiling at her husbands toothy grin that she admired heavily
“I just love you.” He said quickly feeling more in love then ever before.
She laughed at the random- not unwelcome, but random comment.
“I love you more gav.” She said completely ready to play that game
“Heh. Well I love you most.” He said smirking completely aware of what he was doing.
She let out a shocked gasp, dramatically, she draped a hand over her eyes.
“Oh but my love there is no way, for I love you the most…est..?” She stated making up a word as she spoke
“Shut up you goofball.” He said also standing up after he’d finished wrapping the gift his son had been asking for, since July.
They both sighed relieved, that they were done wrapping all the presents that Gavin they both collectively picked out because they spoiled loved their son with all of their hearts.
“Alright big man,” she paused gently slapping his bare chest. “,let’s hit the hay.” Kait said walking off, but as she was, Gavin swooped in and stole a kiss, waking off before her; despite of who left to get there first.
“Goodnight my love.” He said, snuggling up behind his wife, whom he loved deeply
“Night, gav.- love you.” She said snuggling into his chest, despite how cold it was he didn’t want to wear a shirt to bed. Fact, he outright refused to wear a shirt to bed.
——
“Pssttt…mom. Dad. GUYS.” Gavin heard a muffled little voice say.
“Hmm w-wat..?” He sleepily said.
“ITS CHRISTMAS..” rylen exclaimed
Gavin turned over to check his phone, in order to confirm his jumpy sons statement
4:56 am December 25.
He groaned. “Ry, can’t you wait an hour?” Gavin asked his son on top of him, and kait- who somehow was fast asleep
“Daddddddd, no.. PLEASEEE..” Rylen, begged.
“Okay Okay I’m up- I’m up.” He said slowly sitting up, yanking rylen, setting him atop his shoulders
“C’mon kiddo..,” he paused looking back at kait.
“Lets make mom, breakfast first Ry. Wanna help me make it?” Gavin asked his son who was gripping onto his dads forehead for dear life.
“Yeh dad.” He said re-gripping his hands
“Relax kiddo- I won’t drop you.” Gavin reassured rylen, who wouldn’t budge
———
“Op- my bad sorry dad.” Gavin turned away from the stove to see flour everywhere, on the floor, the counter, in rylen s hair-,”
“Looks like it’ll be a white Christmas after all..” Gavin heard and quickly turned around to the kitchen entrance, to see kait laughing,
“Oh kaity, did we wake you? Sorry,” Gavin got cut off by rylen
“,MOMMY! Me and dad made you breakfast, see? See?” He pointed at Gavin, simmering bacon on the stove.
“I see. Now uh, let’s go get you some clean clothes kiddo.” She said, grabbing her sons messy hand, laughing.
“You big goofs..” she mumbled to herself, leaving Gavin to his devices
“Rylen. Kiddo sit down.” Gavin said grabbing rylens waist to pull him back down to the chair he was previously sitting at.
“Sorry dad.” He mumbled, grabbing a fork, to stab at his bacon.
With that Gavin, slowly took the fork out of his hand and put the bacon in his hand instead
“Oh.” He said confused
“I know right, like eating with your hands, ew. But just try it.” He said facing his son, than looking at kait, to whom he shrugged at.
——
“woah, look at all the presents!” Rylen exclaimed pointing at them with an awestruck expression
“I know, Santa got busy this year.” Kait said smiling, Gavin shot his head around to face her
“Who?” He whispered to her visibly confused.
“I’ll tell you later.” She said back. He nodded confused but he would save it for later.
“Oh my gosh, IS THAT A FIRETRUCK?!” Rylen yelled, jumping up and down. So far this was the same reaction to every present he’d gotten so far.
“Super cool huh? Oh shoot, Gavin can you get the camera from the bedroom?” Kait asked her husband, who was half asleep
He shot up and nodded, kissing her cheek and walking away.
——
“I’m baacck!” He announced with extra pizzazz, being the drama queen he is.
He leant over to give kait the camera, she took it, fingers lightly brushing against eachothers. Gavin chuckled ever so slightly at the contact.
“Ooo wow! Is this a jojos blizzare adventure, ACTION FIGURE??” He exclaimed loudly unwrapping it with more power now.
Kait looked over to Gavin who was shamelessly smiling at Rylen. She was confused. Very confused.
She leaned over to Gavin and whispered,
“Did you get him that?” She asked
He turned to her with a smile and leaned over as well and whispered
“Who else?” With an odd tone. She smiled wryly, not to match Gavin’s mischievous; not secret addiction to the Anime series.
“Super epic..” he muttered admiringly at the box in his hands, probably the best reaction they’d gotten out of him.
KNOCK KNOCK
“Oh that’s probably the guys.” Gavin said shooting up. Freelancer nodded as he went to the foyer to open the door.
“Yo gav!” She heard Huxley exclaim, pulling Gavin into a tight hug.
“Kait! Hi!!” He said dropping Gavin and giving her a hug as well
“Hey hux!” She exclaimed, retaliating the hug.
Damian, lasko, and hux and Damian’s twin sons, Carmen, and Noelle, all walked into the house; carrying presents, food platters, and apple cider.
“H-hey gu-guys!” Lasko mumbled
“Hi lasko..” Gavin said with a smile.
“CARMEN! NOELLE LETS PLAY C’MON!!” rylen yelled to his two friends who quickly trotted over to him.
“Play nicely boys hmm?” Gavin said with a smile and a raised brow.
“Yes sir!” They all yelled simultaneously.
Kait gestured to grab the food from huxley,
“Oh thank you.” He muttered with a smile, grabbing the apple cider and following her to the kitchen.
“So Gavin, how’s it been?” Damian asked nonchalantly.
“Pretty good wildfire. Nice wife, cute kid; can’t complain.” Gavin said putting his hands in his pockets of his sweatpants.
“Same here; well except I don’t have a wife. I have a husband.” Damian retorted with a grin.
Gavin nodded with a chuckle.
—-
“Oh! Huxley you can just slide that on the counter, no need to put it in the fridges.” Kait said to her friend, who nodded and set it on the counter.
“Okay great. Can I get you anything? Coffee?cocoa? Apple juice?” Just then rylen yelled
“MOM THATS MY JUICE!” from the living room.
She just grinned while huxley laughed.
“I know you goofball!” She yelled chuckling
——-
“So then Noelle KICKED THE RACCON!” Carmen said making various gestures and facial expressions. He was more on the loud end of things, whilst his brother was on the quiet side.
Carmen nodded with a smile.
Damian sighed with a dry chuckle, turning his head to face huxley.
“They get to much from you.” He admitted. Huxley laughed.
“Awh I dunno babe, Carmen’s like your carbon copy.” Huxley said pointing In between the two of them.
“Yeah yeah what ever.” Damian shrugged
“It’s true Damian, Noelle is a lot like you.” Gavin said lightly sipping on a cup of wine.
Kait nodded in agreement.
——
“You know I’m really glad you Invited us gav, and freelancer!” Huxley said smiling, gift bags in hand
“Yeah thanks.” Damian said, probably still salty about getting a candle.
“Anytime!”
“No problem!” Kait and Gavin said simultaneously
——
“Rylen go to sleep dude.” Kait whispered, pulling a blanket up to her sons shoulders
“Love you mommy.” He mumbled
“Love ya kid.” She said back, giving him a big kiss on his cheek.
—-
Gavin plopped down on their shared bed, leaning his head up to look at kait.
“Well I’d say today was a success wouldn’t you?” He asked kicking his feet, head in palms
“Yeah it went pretty good. But…,” kait started smiling
“Hmm?” He hummed
“,I still have one more gift for you.” She finished, pulling a box from under the bed.
Gavin took it from her and looked down at it then at her, with a confused gaze.
He slowly unwrapped the mysterious box, to uncover a framed picture of him, kait, and rylen, where they were all goofing off during family photos.
“Oh kaity..” he whispered grazing his hands over the glass
“Do ya like it?” She asked anticipating an answer
“Like it? Oh I love it! Thank you.” He said pulling her close for a sweet kiss.
“I’ll hang it first thing tomorrow..” Gavin swore.
“I look forward to it. I love you Gavin.” Kait said smiling gleefully at him
“I love you more.” Gavin smiled ear to ear at her.
“We’re not going down that path again.” She laughed out.
And they all lived happily ever after!!
I had so much fun writing this for the exchange!!! Hope you enjoyed it kait!!

5/25/23
I worked at the college today with my work company. I was thankfully directed to help out R and our friend, as well as, a couple other students that helped out. 
In the morning a couple of the others were teasing R about how he teaches and he turned to me and said, “see, even if you’re not here I still get teased. Not much has changed.” We had a good laugh about it. At a few points R took off his hat and I noticed that he had some gray hair coming in and I was a bit surprised. The whole time I had been there, he hadn’t gotten any. I brought it up later when he took off his hat again saying, “I’m not around for a year and you get gray hair now??” He smiled and took off his hat again and tilted his head down to me and I put a finger up and lightly go over where it was growing in at. He chuckled and said that he blames it was from starting to teach. 
I was hanging out with another of R’s coworkers that I’ve talked to on and off the time I’ve been going to that school. He’s told me about how R frustrates him sometimes but he knows he’s knows his stuff and is a good guy at the end of the day. We talked about comparing this year’s ceremony to last year’s. He has a tone of annoyance from this younger girl that was following R like a lost puppy (and it got on my nerves a bit too) and how I took over the job she was supposed to do because she didn’t want to do it and stay with R the whole time when she was initially going to do an internship with the coworker. A bit later I approached R and as he was about to head back to his spot I put my hand on his arm and he leant over to me and told him something that his coworker wanted him to do while I was just talking to him since we know R gets sidetracked and hyper focused easily. I said it like “as a gentle reminder, you still need to have time to do this” he nodded thanked me for reminding him. A bit later the coworker when to R’s spot with him while I was doing other stuff. So I wonder if R mentioned that I reminded him or if he played it off as though he knows he still needs to do that other stuff if his coworker brought it up. Either way, I just wanted to save him some potential chop busting.
At the end of the day, I was ready to head out and wanted to say goodbye to R and our other friend that I’ve known the whole time too. R was the closest and I let him know I was leaving and he stopped on his heals and turned towards me and put his hand up, I thought to give a high-five. So I gave gave him one slightly because at that point he moved in for a hug and I hugged him back for a few moments before we pulled back and told him goodbye and that I was heading over to say goodbye to our other friend and that I’d like to get together and do something since I’m graduating. He agreed and said that he’s free on the weekends. My other friend gave me a hug too and we talked about getting together once the semester ends and everything calms down. 
So that’s it! I’ll be getting my degree. R is going to be moving a few towns over in June/July. He didn’t say he was quitting or anything so I assume he’s going to make that commute which is crazy alone cuz I know he hates online teaching and would much rather teach in person. I’m sad he’s no longer going to live so close. It was a nice feeling though I rarely ran into him. I’ve been in a weird headspace from everything.

the teachers really understand that they’re here to facilitate the growth of their students. we all know that balam could’ve broken out earlier, but he waited for agares to make his point to the 1st years bcuz it’s something they needed to hear from the person they were looking up to for the wrong reasons
so often series will have a school setting and have terrible teachers. it’s not on even on purpose, it’s bcuz there’s not the same focus on actual learning and life lessons that’s found here. like even if this is a fantastical setting, they are still fundamentally educators

👏CHARACTER👏GROWTH👏
remember at the beginning when iruma genuinely didn’t understand that he could rely on others cause he never could before? cause i do every damn day of my life
but see now! he still lives with that anxiety in the back of his head, ready for danger at all times on some level, but he now recognizes instinctually that asking for help is an acceptable response
you can’t see, but im cheering very loudly for this improvement! he’s learning to trust the people around him!!

i like how being in the demon world and gaining supportive family and friends doesn’t completely fix his problems. rather, it seems that his trauma will be a fixture in his life even while the people around him soothe the pain
it goes along with how emotionally complex and realistic this series is despite what one would typically expect from the setting. like this really highlights that while he’s grown and healed from the most obvious and surface level impacts of his traumatic childhood, iruma is still consumed by the more ugly emotional scars it’s left behind.
the line “never forget: danger is always lurking around every corner” shows that on some level iruma goes about his daily life on the edge, always ready to evade danger because he expects his life to be threatened and has yet to fully deal with how fucked up that is
anyway im heading out to torture and kill his parents if any of y’all want to join me

ㅡ THAT METAL FANATIC GUY.
He is there, standing at the front door, ready to let you leave. Right Now. Immediately. And as you pass by him, you realise how much you’re going to miss him, how intense you both were, how your heart stopped beating the moment he said those words. “It’s the end of the show baby.” Subtle, delicate, as usual.
You know, on your inner fort that it is the best way for both of you to handle things, to move on ; to make it easier.
{…}
July 13, 1985.
Your mom was on the entrance hall waiting for you to join her. She planned holidays in Hawkins, only for you two. Your father went to Miami with your twin brother - he is always been his favorite, so your mother made an effort to offer you good memories before entering in college. She was right, you actually needed it ; Noa just left you for this cheerleader, and you did not totally move on. To be honest, when you think you found the one, it is not that easy to, how do we call it ?, turn the page.
Hawkins was not really the best place to go for summer break. You did not know anyone, and there was not much things to do. It was been a week since you arrived at the hotel and the only thing you did was to read by the river. Nice plans when you are twenty and want to enjoy your juvenile moments - you know, before becoming an adult.
The sun was though lightning on the grass, making it look like a fairytail - a real Twilight New Moon scene ; except that you were not Bella Swan, you did not date Edward Cullen, and you are alone on this clearing. The book you were reading seemed fascinating, judging your surprised face once you discovered the protagoniste was a real douch ; but, let’s be honest, you were actually bored as hell.
That was at this precise moment that he appeared. This young guy, probably as old as you were, long hair, this metal fanatic style, with those charming and confusing eyes ; they actually looked like puppy eyes, if we focused on it. He was actually talking, or more like deliberating with himself. You had two choices : either you ignore him and change place, or you went to him to check if he was ok. A honorable choice, if you want my opinion.
- “You’re ok ?” you asked, after closing your book and putting it on your bag.
- “Do I look ok ?”
- “Right, wrong question.”
- “Stupid question, stupid answer sweetheart.” he said, winking up at you.
Arrogant.
- “Edward, Eddie, Munson.” he said, about to shake your hand.
{…}
As you stare at his face, his childish and relaxed face, you suddenly stop your feet and bit your bottom lip. You cannot do that.
{…}
July 23, 1985.
Your black over-sugared coffee on your right hand, your book seemed a bit less interesting, now that you spent the afternoon talking about movies and stuff with that unknown guy, out of nowhere. The people around you were making so much noise that it was complicated to focus. Until, you heard his name, from a feminin, narcissistic, and mocking mouth.
- “Eddie the freak? Nah, he’s gone for summer I guess, we haven’t seen him for a while.”
- “What a sadness.” replied her friend, with a lot of sarcasm.
Too much sacarsm, in your opinion. You did not know at that time why they talked about him like that, maybe because he actually was a freak ; but seeing how nice and funny he was on the other day, it was hard to believe it.
{…}
Your eyes are getting wet as he approaches to you, to take your both hands to hold them. You smile at him, and lower your head, unable to look at him in the eyes.
{…}
July 25, 1985.
- “They just don’t get my sense of humor.”
He was lying down his bed, playing with candies ; the kind of game when you throw a candy and it is supposed to land on your mouth. Many candies appeared on the floor, or on his forehead.
The night finally arrived, and the clouds covered the most part of the town. It was clear that coming back to the hotel with the thunder coming was not a good idea. Or maybe it was just an excuse not to come home, to spend the night with him. You wanted to. He seemed to want it too. Well, seeing his hand on your leg, it seemed obvious that he did not want to play D&D at that moment.
- “It’s probably not a good idea.” He said, keeping however his hand on your leg.
- “No, it’s clearly not. Eddie the Freak.” you replied, a grin stretching your lips.
You knew it was really not a good idea, but you spent all the past few days with him since day one, and more the time passed more your heart was beating for another reason than pulsing blood to your brain. A really sensible reason. Eddie Munson was driving you more than crazy. You was, at that time, and still is today, cursed with his freakery.
Nevertheless, nothing more happened that night. You slept with him, wearing his favorite tee-shirt with the emblem of AC/DC on it, stuck between his arms. And you secretly adored it.
{…}
- “Hey, I won’t die you know ? I’m still here.”
- “That is the problem.”
- “Wait- That I’m not dead ?” he asks, a little laugh crossing the border of his pout of sadness.
- “No, idiot.” you retort, hitting his shoulder. “That you’ll still be here, when I won’t be.”
{…}
August 03, 1985.
He was there, his guitar on his knee, playing Beth by Kiss, while your eyes could not stop staring at his lips. Damn his lips. It is been a few days now since you kissed for the first time, and you cannot stop thinking about it since then. I mean, that sounds logic, knowing how a good kisser he is. It was like, kissing a cloud, a glittering and soft cloud, with a bit - just a little, rain on it. I don’t mean to be naughty, but, you get it.
- “What the heck are you thinking about ?”
- “Hm, sorry.” you replied, passing your tongue over your lips, which had dried up during your reverie. “Excuse me, you said ?”
- “You are stuck, to fix me, since five whole minutes.”
- “Sorry..”
Shit, your cheeks started to blush, against your will.
- “I know what’s wrong.” he said, approaching, like really approaching, his head to yours.
- “Surprise me.”
A smirk stretched his lips, while his lips grazed yours. Ok, it is now, right here, right now ; go little bird, time to shine bright like a diamond.
But apparently Rihanna seemed to have taken a sabatical leave. As you were ready to share a passionate and intensive kiss with your actual addictive and cute crush, he seemed more convinced that pizzas would be your dream number one.
Effectively, he changed his trajectory to grab the pizzaria card - which was right behind you, and went to call them. Well, not for tonight Satan.
{…}
Another smirk on his face, as if he won something. It is getting on your nerves ; how can he be that relaxed ? He knows he is about to lose you, but when your rib cage is moving as fast as a hare, he is keeping your hands in his and smile. Idiot.
- “You knew it wasn’t a good idea.”
- “As much as you did.” you replied. “But thanks for the reminding.”
But you actually know that that smile on his face hides a huge sadness. He does not want to lose you either, but it is easier to pretend we are ok, to admit our pain.
{…}
August 10, 1985.
Let Me Put My Love Into You by AC/DC on the background, you were searching the perfect vinyl for the night coming up. He finally accepted a date, with you, wherever you want. You knew he did not like public spaces very much, so you decided to move into the clearing you first met. A picnic, sounded good.
The Moon enlightened already the rock dominating the clearing when you arrived. The food and the blanket installed, you just had to enjoy your time together. At that moment, you were well aware that you had only two weeks left before going back home and leaving for university. Two weeks, not much, not less.
That was probably why you did not take the time to to propose something to drink. Tonight, you want to move directly to the dessert - the meal could wait for few minutes, or hours, who knows.
[ TW ;; 🔞 coming.]
His hands over your body, the moonlight reflecting off the fall of his loins, his body was overlooking yours, as a groan passed the corner of your lips. It was even more passionate as you expected it. Your hips moving in tune with his, you felt him come and go between your legs with so much power that the Devil himself would be jealous of much heat between you two. It was like you were meant to be, like your both bodies were actually supposed to make one, to merged. As a beautiful song in the middle of the woods, your hand flattened against his back, and his lips covering your skin with hickeys ; your carnal envelopes only formed one, in a harmony to make Mozart blush.
If you were cursed, he was the cure. At that precise moment, you knew he was the love of one life. The love of your life.
It seemed so soon yet so real. If Rose could fall in love with Jack in only a few hours, the little days you got with him were enough for you to become an addict.
{…}
Your momma warned you, more than once, that bad guys were not meant to fall in love. She knew it because your father was one of them. Yet, here you go, leaving his mobile home, your eyes full of tears.
{…}
August 15, 1985.
- “I love you.” you said, intertwining your fingers.
- “I love you too, Freak.”
Ten days, and you would not be able to tell him that again. You knew it, yet you were deeply, irretrievably, falling in love with him.
{…}
August 20, 1985.
- “You’re sure you have to leave ?”
- “Yes, one hundred percent sure.”
Master of Puppets played by him and his band, Dustin was talking with you at th3 table in front of the stage. Maybe he talked with him, maybe he asked for him. But you knew the answer broke his heart as much as yours.
Nevertheless, when he grab you by the waist with power, to suddenly kiss you in front of everybody, you realised that you wanted him to do that, for the rest of your life.
Because you knew, he would be the father of your kids. The kind of father watching Kiss concert on TV on sunday morning and dancing with his daughter on his feet, singing and laughing, looking at you.
{…}
- “Wait, please, don’t leave.” he yelled, joining you on the garden.
- “Why ? For a last kiss ? Or maybe, a last sex plan on your tiny little shower ?”
- “Damn that was rude.”
- “We are not obligated to do that Edward. You could.. come with me, or we could spend the year and see each other on holidays.”
- “I don’t do distance.”
You sigh, run your hand through your hair, and turn your back on him to leave.
Then suddenly, when all hopes and beliefs seem gone for a stroll, he grab your hand and pull you back to him. A hand on your cheek, the other on your hand, his lips come to meet yours in a very soft and tender kiss.
If only you knew it was your last kiss.
[hi there,
this is my first One Shot in English (i’m french), please be indulgent.. I hope you’ll like to read it as much i loved writing it. ♡]

Aliens
When I hired my new interns their first assignment was to read all of my old blogs so they would not come to me with repeat ideas. Homeless Henry (see the New Interns from November 21 this year) was the first to approach me. He showed me one I wrote In July 2021 called E.T. I have to admit I have no recollection of writing this but it was there for all to see. I pretended to recall it so I asked him what the problem was.
"It is a guide to what you should do if an alien invasion happens." he said. This vaguely jogged my memory.
"What about it?" I asked while wondering what I was going to have for lunch today.
"Dude, they're already here!"
This made me put aside thoughts of lunch temporarily. Not because I was concerned but rather it was the fact that whatever I decided to have for lunch I was not going to share it, so I humored him until he went away. The following is what we came up with. (By the way, after he left I decided on a sub. It was very good and just enough for one)
Henry claims he knows they are walking amongst us and provided details of what to look for. These are first hand experiences for him. Here are telltale signs you have or are encountering an alien.
If you see an ugly guy and a beautiful woman together as a couple one of them is an alien. Either she is trying to blend in or he has some kind of mind control gizmo he used on her. (Except for my wife and I. Honest.)
Someone all alone talking to themselves with no visible blue tooth in their ear. They have implants and are talking to the mother ship. in hindsight they have been around for a long time living in plain sight in every major city of the world.
Genetic freaks. I have been watching basketball for a long time and when I was growing up there were very few 7 foot tall players. Now they are everywhere. Was Wilt Chamberlain an advanced scout Or Kareem? It also seems like a lot of them come from a single mother so I believe some aliens planted their seed 20-30 years ago and now they are getting ready to take over. With the amount of money being paid to these 'players' they will soon have economic dominion over the rest of us.
People who never seem to age. Think Paul Rudd. If you know someone that looks the same as they did 25 years ago be nice to them as soon they will be in charge.
insatiable appetites. I am not talking people like me who frequent buffets, I am talking about those people you see in eating contests. 79 hotdogs in ten minutes? Come on. No human stomach will be able to hold that much. There is obviously a race of hollow creatures walking the Earth, and winning prizes while they do it.
People with no apparent talent for anything becoming extremely rich for nothing at all. Think Kardashians. It is the only possible explanation
Toll operators at subway stations. Who would want this job? Well aliens that want to count how many of us there are. They used to sit on corners in lawn chairs with a clicker pretending to count traffic. This covers more people.
I am meeting with Henry this afternoon (after my breath has been freshened so he doesn't smell the sub.) We need to determine if we have any of 'THEM' on our team.
THOUGHT OF THE WEEK: People speculate there can't be intelligent life out there or else they would reveal themselves to us. I put this question to you: Would you reveal yourself to idiots like humans if you were in their position?

Luke and the Phantom
To begin a series of posts in which I describe WIPs I will probably never finish but want people to enjoy anyway, we have a reverse Julie and the Phantoms au where the living characters and the dead characters switch places.
Summary: Luke hasn’t been able to play music in the year since the death of Bobby, his band mate and friend. But maybe the appearance of a certain ghost girl can help him find his love of music again.
Basically, it’s the plot of Julie and the Phantoms if Luke and the guys were alive and Julie was the ghost.
Chapter One: Unsaid Emily
Luke’s mom tells him that the Molinas, the neighbors next door with the studio where the guys used to rehearse before Bobby died, are moving. While they have been gracious about letting Luke and the guys keep their stuff there, even though they don’t rehearse anymore, they have asked that Luke and the guys clean out the studio so they can put the house on the market. Luke agrees to do it, even though he doesn’t feel ready to confront the reality of what that means.
Luke goes out to the garage and finds a demo CD in the loft. That’s how he learns about Julie Molina, the Molina’s daughter who died in 1995 at age 16. He plays the CD, and she appears in the garage. They promptly scream at each other, and Luke runs out.
He texts his group chat with Alex and Reggie that there is a ghost in the garage. Reggie believes him, but Alex doesn’t. Alex encourages Luke to go back out to the garage and ask the girl what’s really going on, because she can’t possibly be a ghost.
Luke finds Julie in the garage. Luke learns that Julie is indeed a ghost. Julie learns that it’s 2020. And they both learn that Julie spent 25 years in a dark room for some reason, but from Julie’s perspective, she’s been a ghost for a couple of hours. Luke tells Julie about Bobby, which is a big step for him. They both question how Luke can see her.
The next morning, Luke wakes up early, so he has time to go out to the studio before going to school. He doesn’t find Julie there right away, but he does find his guitar. Luke finally confronts what has been getting in the way of him playing for a year, and after he realizes that music is Julie’s legacy--which is a legacy he wants to leave behind himself--he plays again.
Chapter Two: Bright
It turns out that Julie heard him play because she’s been in the loft this whole time. Luke explains that the song he played, “Unsaid Emily,” was a song he wrote for his mom after he ran away from home. He was staying at Bobby’s place until he died, at which point he went back home because the fight with his parents just didn’t seem important anymore. They talk about their relationships with their parents. Julie thinks Luke should show his mom “Unsaid Emily,” but he doesn’t think she will understand.
And speaking of parents, Ray finds Luke out in the garage. Apparently, he heard him play, too. So Luke gets to have a conversation with his neighbor while pretending that he can’t see the guy’s dead daughter, who is standing right there.
He has to leave for school shortly after.
At school, he tells Reggie and Alex about how meeting Julie got him to play again. Reggie is super excited, but Alex is pissed. Reggie and Alex didn’t stop playing after Bobby’s death the way Luke did, and from Alex’s perspective, he did everything he could to bring Luke back to music, but it was a stranger who got him to play again.
This doesn’t get resolved until lunch when Reggie talks Alex down, and they all agree to go to the studio after school and jam with Julie.
When they get to the studio, Luke introduces the guys to Julie and vice versa. Alex expresses that he still doesn’t believe that Julie exists, so Julie plays the piano to prove that she does. Then Alex finally believes Luke.
Luke asks if Julie wants to learn “Bright,” and then when they play together, Reggie and Alex can see Julie. They pick up their instruments and jam together.
(That’s as far as I have written. The rest is outlined.)
Chapter Three: This Band is Back
This chapter is basically just the guys hanging out in the studio and getting to know Julie. They start cleaning out the studio and reminisce about what they find. At some point, they pick up their instruments and start jamming again, and they play “This Band is Back.” They have a sleepover in the studio.
Chapter Four: Flying Solo
The guys have a meeting without Julie, and they decide to add Julie to Sunset Curve, if she wants to join.
Julie goes out on her own, and she makes a ghost friend! The ghost introduces herself as Flynn.
They talk to Julie, and she agrees to join their band. So now that that’s established, Luke looks into booking a gig. Willie, Alex’s boyfriend, suggests that they play at the upcoming school dance because he happens to know that they’re looking for a band to play. Luke is opposed to it at first, but his friends talk him into it, so he agrees.
Chapter Five: Other Side of Hollywood
Julie has been hanging around her family, and it eats at her. She wants to be able to talk to them, at least once. She expresses this to Flynn, and Flynn’s like, I have a ghost you should meet, and she takes her to the Hollywood Ghost Club.
Meanwhile, Luke, Alex, and Reggie are getting ready to perform at the dance, and Julie is nowhere to be found. Luke promises them that she’ll be there, because she has to be, right? She wouldn’t bail on them.
Right?
When Flynn introduces Julie to Caleb and she explains her situation, he listens to her plight, but he skirts around agreeing to help her. And of course, he has his own agenda. Flynn has told him about Julie being visible when she plays with her band, and so Caleb offers her the chance to join the club. Julie hesitates. Before she can give Caleb an answer, Flynn realizes what time it is and tells Julie she has to go to perform at the dance. But before she leaves, she shakes hands with Caleb, and he stamps her.
She makes to the dance just in time, and she performs with the guys.
The chapter ends with her getting jolted.
Chapter Six: Perfect Harmony
Luke realizes that he’s falling for Julie after how well the dance went. When he tells Alex and Reggie, they try to warn him off of it because she’s a ghost and it can never work.
Meanwhile, Julie is missing her family more than ever, keeps getting jolted and has no idea why, and she can’t find Flynn, as if Flynn is avoiding her. But the bright spot in the darkness for her is Luke, who is writing songs with her and practicing with her and giving her something to look forward to.
Chapter Seven: Wake Up
Flynn finally confronts Julie and tells her about the stamp, about Caleb owning her soul, and about unfinished business. Julie’s best guess is that her unfinished business is playing the Orpheum, the show she never got to perform, but she knows that it’s something that can never happen, so she gets to work accepting her fate. She decides that it’s best to keep it from the guys and just fade away without a word.
She writes “Wake Up” to her parents as her final goodbye.
Luke finds her practicing it, and at first, she’s startled. She never meant to share this with Luke. But he has an idea: if she lets him give “Wake Up” to the Molinas, he’ll give his mom “Unsaid Emily” like she wanted him to do. She agrees.
So Luke gives the Molinas “Wake Up,” telling them that he found it when he was cleaning out the garage. They cry, and so does Luke.
And Luke also shows his mom “Unsaid Emily,” and she cries. It helps to resolve some of the tension that’s been lingering since Luke came back home.
After watching the way their parents reacted to their respective songs, Julie decides to be honest with Luke about the stamp and the jolts. But Luke refuses to let Julie go without a fight, and he is determined to get the Orpheum gig. Julie finds Flynn, and the three of them come up with a plan.
Chapter Eight: You Got Nothing to Lose
Flynn helps Julie get the Orpheum gig similar to how Willie helped the guys in “Stand Tall.” Luckily, Willie filmed the band playing at the dance, and the video went viral, so that helps them get the gig.
As they prepare for the Orpheum, Luke has to watch Julie get jolted every so often. It hurts him.
Julie and Luke have a heartfelt goodbye where Julie asks Luke to look out for her parents, and Luke asks Julie to find Bobby after she crosses over.
But as the guys are on their way to the Orpheum, Caleb confronts Julie and kidnaps her similar to how the guys were kidnapped in “Stand Tall.”
Chapter Nine: Stand Tall
Luke is freaking out backstage because Julie isn’t there. She was supposed to meet them backstage, how is she not there? The guys try to comfort him, but his mind jumps to the realization that she must have run out of time and been jolted out of existence. Reggie asks if he still wants to perform, and Luke looks at his guitar, tempted to give up music again after losing Julie. But he realizes that that would be the worst thing he could do for her, that the best way to honor her memory is to play the song they wrote together.
So they go onstage and play. And Julie poofs in and joins them!
She disappears after the song is over, even to Luke, and he is grateful that, if she had to go, at least she got to go on her own terms.
The guys return to the studio, and sure enough, there’s Julie, lying on the couch in pain as she’s dying (again). They have a conversation similar to the one in canon, including, “No music is worth making if I’m not making it with you,” only Julie is the one who says it this time. And that’s exactly what Luke needs to hear to break completely, so he collapses into Julie.
And instead of him going through her, Julie catches him.
It takes a few beats for them to realize that they’re hugging, but they do. Julie starts glowing, and the stamp floats right off her wrist. Luke turns to his friends, only to realize that they can see Julie, too.
They bask in the glory of their victory, that they didn’t lose Julie after all, and now not only can Luke see Julie, but Alex and Reggie can see her too, and Julie and Luke can touch.
