STUDY BUDDIES !
pairing: sejanus plinth x fem!reader
warnings: smut, kissing, fingering, handjob, doggy style, unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it), cream pie, oral (f. receiving)
summary: you’ve liked sejanus for a while, to your excitement he’s assigned as your project partner this year.
a/n: i’m sick and tired of trying to get sejanus fics and they all have coryo in them UGHH (still enjoy them though)
def doing a pt2
When the professor called out your name followed by Sejanus Plinth, your interest piqued. You turned to meet his gaze, a soft smile on his face, probably happy he wasn’t assigned to Arachne or Livia.
You were called to sit with your partners to form study plans for further need. Sejanus was soft-spoken for the most part, unless provoked you assumed.
You both decided it was a good idea to meet at one of your homes instead of the library that filled up awfully fast more often than not.
Sejanus’ house was good but he opted not to. You didn’t bother to ask why so you offered up your own house. For the most part your parents were out working, they had a high ranking and were close friends with Sejanus’ parents. Your maids were quiet and you had no other guests at the time.
Your first project came up quick, a presentation to the class on the Hunger Games like there was every year. It was an annual project in the curriculum, you and Sejanus were assigned the history and forming of the games.
You had seen Arachne whispering something to him later than day, to which you ignored at first. The more you thought about it was odd, Sejanus talking to Arachne. Odd.
Arachne knew that you liked him and you were embarrassed to consider she told him.
Sejanus was supposed to come over to your place on the weekend to work on the project together. You spend the rest of your friday after school wondering what Arachne had told him, hoping it wasn’t what you assumed.
You knew your maids would let him in and direct him to your room, to which you were supposed to leave your door a few inches open. But, neither of your parents were home and they wouldn’t be til Sunday and Sejanus would come over on Saturday.
You hated yourself a little bit that you planned your outfit ahead of time. Your top was tighter than you remembered so you put a cardigan over top, you didn’t intend to seduce him. Yet, you wouldn’t mind if it worked.
“Miss, you have guest.” Your maids voice rung through the air, your door cracked open to reveal her and Sejanus.
“Thank you, you can come in.” You smiled sweetly, adjusting your cardigan slightly. You haven’t seen Sejanus out of his uniform since the last gala, to which he wore a suit. His clothes were more casual, not too casual because he still had expectations. “I already did some research, at least we got an easy topic.”
“I did too, I brought my notes.” He placed his notes on your desk, pulling up a chair to sit with you.
To your surprise Sejanus and you worked well together. Brief small talk about class, friends, interests and his laugh. You really did like his laugh. You felt a slight spark when his skin brushed yours, intentionally or not.
“Sej?” You asked, he looked over to yours. His gaze was sincere, a soft smile on his face as he nodded at you to continue. “Are you close with Arachne?”
“Oh… can’t say I like her company very much.” He replied, the smile dropping from his face. He went back to writing more notes. “Why?”
“No reason, I just saw you two talking in class.” You mumbled, a bit embarrassed to have brought up the subject. You looked down at your hands, fiddling with your fingers.
“She told me something funny, don’t know if I can believe something Arachne would say.” He mentioned, a slight teasing tone in his voice and suddenly your interest was piqued. You knew what he meant.
“I wouldn’t either.” You looked up at him, a teasing smile lingered on his face.
“Why not?” He rose an eyebrow, a playful tone in his voice.
“I just don’t know if I trust everything she says, she does like to tease.” You mentioned, to which he nodded his head. There was a pregnant pause between the two of you before he spoke up again.
“She told me something about you.” Your eyes widened, knowing exactly what he was referring to. You could believe Arachne couldn’t told him, not that he’d tell you she did. “Are you two close?”
“Not very, but she is close to my close friends.” The only reason Arachne knew was because Livia couldn’t keep her mouth shut and you had told her at a sleepover. You played with loose threads of your cardigan, shyly looking back up at him. “What’d she tell you?”
“Something I hope she wasn’t teasing about.” He said, a sincerity in his voice. He laughed a bit, a breathless one.
You were quick to reply, “Maybe she wasn’t.”
“I don’t want to ask.” Sejanus said, hanging his head low not wanting to make eye contact. You licked your lips, admiring the way his chocolate brown curls fell.
“Should I drop it?” You asked, a sense of anxiety coursing through you.
“Well aren’t you curious?” He looked back up, a smile on his perfect face. You weren’t curious, you knew exactly what she had told him. But, who did it hurt to lie.
“Of course I am.”
“I thought about it for a while, I can’t tell if she was being truthful. You and I have known each other since I arrived here, our parents are friends after all.” Sejanus admitted, looking at you for a bit of reassurance. You nodded along, acknowledging how long you’ve truly known him.
You were kind to Sejanus when everyone bullied him for being from the districts, along with Coriolanus who tolerated him.
“So why’re you being so shy.” You asked, your knees brushing against his to which he didn’t pull away.
“Because I don’t what it to be a lie.” He admitted and you couldn’t help but feel like he was confessing something.
“I think I know what she told you.” You regretted the words when they left your lips, practically confessing your feelings.
“You do?” You nodded, your hands now brushing his. Your chairs were close, both knees now touching. He leaned in a bit closer, eyes boring into your own. “Well, is it truth?”
You nodded again, to which he leaned in even closer. His eyes didn’t look away from yours once, you were the one to turn your head. His hand delicately moving your face back to look at him. You barely had time to react before his lips were pressed against your own. A surprised moan slipping from your lips into the kiss. It was soft, his hand delicately caressing your cheek.
Sejanus deepened the kiss, his other hand coming up to cup your cheek as well. He moaned into the kiss, feeling a rush of emotions he had never experienced before. This was wrong, but it felt so right.
You pulled him in further, and he gladly followed. His hands slid down to your waist, pulling you closer to him. His lips parted, allowing his tongue to slip into your mouth tasting the sweetness of your lips. As his tongue pressed against yours, his hands slid off your cardigan, revealing the soft material of your top underneath. He groaned into the kiss, feeling the heat between them growing stronger.
"Sejanus,” You mumbled against his lips, fingers clawing at his shirt.
Sejanus broke the kiss, breathing softly as he looked into your eyes. His heart racing, his body tingling with desire. "Are you sure this is what you want?"
"Yes, for so long." You mumbled, brushing your lips against his. Sejanus smiled softly, relief flooding through him.
"Good" He leaned in to press another, this time firmer, kiss to your lips. His hands traced the outline of your waist, pulling you closer to him once more.
A soft moan that escaped your lips only served fuel to his desire. His tongue danced with yours again, his hand sliding up to cup your breasts through the fabric of your top. He groaned into the kiss, feeling as if he was going to lose himself.
"The bed,” You whispered, barely audible.
Sejanus broke the kiss once more, his breathing heavy as his eyes bore into yours. He asked, his voice rough with lust. "What?"
"I need you." You confessed, hands pulling at his shirt. He smiled and you moved your hand to run your fingers through his curls.
"I need you too." He whispered, his hands never leaving your body. With a gentle nudge, he guided you back towards the bed. His lips trailed kisses down your neck and collarbone as he helped you onto the mattress.
He traced slow patterns along your legs with his hands, never quite making contact with the pars of you that ached for him. Your eyes immediately flew to the crack in the door, you heart beating out of your chest. "Fuck, close the door."
His eyes flickered to the door before meeting yours once more. A small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he leaned in to capture your lips in a slow, deep kiss. One hand slipped between you, finding the hem of your shirt and slowly pulling it upwards.
"Sej, the door." You whined, not wanting to get caught by one of the maids.
Sejanus broke the kiss again, this time pressing his forehead against yours. He stood up and reached for the door handle. He closed the door and flipped the lock with a nonchalant motion before returning to the bed, his gaze never leaving yours.
As you pulled your shirt off, Sejanus' eyes traced the movement before settling on your bare chest. His breath hitched slightly as he took in the sight of you.
"What?" You questioned, shyly covering yourself to which he pulled your hands away.
Sejanus shook his head slightly, trying to clear it. His hands traced light patterns along your skin before leaning down once more, this time pressing his lips to the soft flesh just below your earlobe. He breathed out, "Nothing, You're just... beautiful."
You squirmed under his touch, panties soaked through with a small wet patch. His hands travelled to pull off your shorts, fingers pulling at the elastic waistband of your panties.
"I'm so wet." You embarrassingly admitted, clenching your thighs closed so he couldn’t see your glistening cunt.
"Really?" He whispered, his hand sliding lower to explore the wetness between your legs. His thumb tracing soft circles around your clit before delving inside you.
"Sejanus wait!" You grabbed his wrist stopping him.
Sejanus froze for a moment, his eyes searching yours for guidance. His fingers still moving inside you as he asked, "Wait for what?"
"I wanna touch you first." You mumbled, looking into his deep brown eyes.
Sejanus smiled softly, his hand leaving you for a moment to gently tug off his belt. "Then let me help you," He whispered before guiding your hand to his cock, already half-hard.
As you spit in your hand, Sejanus watched with a mix of curiosity and need. He leaned down to kiss you softly, his tongue playing with yours as he felt your hand wrap around his length. He groaned softly into the kiss, hands bucking forward slightly as he felt the wet warmth of your hand on his hard length. He kissed you deeply, their tongues entwining as he rock against your hand.
"Good?" You asked, begging for reassurance.
Sejanus broke the kiss with a soft moan, his eyes half-lidded with pleasure.
"So good," He whispered, his fingers finding their way back between your legs. "You're so wet and ready for me."
"Need your cock." You admitted, squeezing your thighs shut, to which his large hands spread back open.
Sejanus' breath caught in his throat at your words. He leaned down to kiss you again, "I want that too."
"Are you close?" You squeezed your hand tighter, sliding it up and down. A groan escaped his lips, curling his fingers inside of you. "Need you to come."
Sejanus' eyes darkened with desire. "You can have that and more." He whispered, his fingers slipping inside you. He thrusted his fingers slowly, his cock jerking against your hand as he felt your fingers squeeze him tighter.
"God your hands." You moan, walls clenching around his thick digits.
Sejanus' fingers found your sweet spot, his thumb brushing against your sensitive nub. "Tell me what you want," He whimpered into your ear, his hips grinding against your hand.
"Want you to cum." You whispered, begging him silently to come undone.
As he felt his orgasm building, he groaned softly int your ear. His fingers moving faster inside you as he bucked his hips into your hand with growing desperation.
"Please." You beg, your voice low and sultry.
With a hoarse groan, Sejanus' body tensed and his seed spilled out between your fingers, painting your palm with his release. His lips found yours again in a deep kiss.
"Sej--"
Sejanus let out a long sigh as he felt himself slowly coming down from his high. He watched as you licked his cum off your fingers.
"Sejanus, I want you to fuck me." Your eyes bore into his, a long pause between you. The air was thick but the silence was thicker.
"i want that too," He whispered, his voice hoarse with desire. "Are you sure?"
"So sure." You nodded, leaning back on your elbows.
"Spread your legs for me," He ordered softly.
You whimpered slightly before spreading your legs for him, revealing your glistening wet cunt. Sejanus' eyes darkened with lust as he stared down at you.
"You are so beautiful," He breathed, his fingers tracing light patterns on your inner thighs.
"It's embarrassing." You whined, turning your head away from his gaze. You attempted to close your legs but he held them open.
Sejanus' lips curved into a tender smile
"Don't be embarrassed," He whispered, his fingers sliding between your legs to tease your entrance. He pushed his fingers inside of you slowly feeling you stretch around them.
"Sej, I wanted your cock not your fingers." You whine, not trying to act like a brat but you couldn’t help it. You wanted to feel him, not just his fingers.
"I need to stretch you first." He slowly thrusted his fingers back inside you, slipping in a third one. You squeezed your eyes shut, wondering how much more he’d stretch you than this.
"Don't care if it hurts." You huffed, grabbing his wrist trying to stop him, to which he was quick to pull your hand away.
Sejanus' eyes widened slightly at your response. He took a deep breath, steadying himself before pushing his fingers deeper inside of you.
"Don't you want it?” You ask, trying to convince him to skip the foreplay.
"Yes-- but I need to take care of you first." He assured you, slowly thrusting his fingers in and out. "I want this to be good for both of us."
"I don't want to cum on your fingers." You huffed, lying back on the pillow.
He smiled reassuringly, he continued to stretch you with his fingers. Gradually he increased the depth and speed of his thrusts. "Don't worry. we'll get to that soon enough."
"Wanna cum on your cock, Sej--" You whined, squeezing your thighs around his hand. His large hands spread your legs back open.
"I know you do," He murmured, pulling his fingers away and positioning himself at your entrance. He paused for a moment before slowly pushing inside of you.
Your back arched off the bed, a soft moan slipping from your lips. Sejanus watched as you arched your back, the bed creaking beneath you. He groaned deeply, his eyes locked on yours as he began to move inside of you.
"Oh my god, you're so big." The stretch burned, you didn’t expect him to stretch you this wide. You threw your head back, trying your best to accommodate his girth. A throaty moan ripping from your throat.
Sejanus' fingers dug into the sheets as he tried to maintain control. "I want this to be good for both of us," He gritted out, his hips beginning to move faster and harder.
"It's so good." You panted, bucking your hips up to meet his thrusts.
He felt his body tense, the pleasure becoming almost unbearable. "You feel so good," He moaned, pressing deeper inside of you as he lost himself in the sensation.
"W-wait-- wait a second." You pant, pushing against his chest.
Sejanus' eyes flickered open as he felt you writhe beneath him. He pulled out, leaning back before asking "Are you okay?"
You turned onto your stomach, arching your ass into the air. Your glistening stretched cunt on display in front of him. "Fuck me like this."
He positioned himself behind you, his thick cock at your entrance. With a deep breath, he slid inside you once again, taking you in a powerful thrust that filled your needy pussy. His hips slapped against your ass with each powerful thrust. His hands found your hips, holding onto them as he took you harder and faster. He groaned, his body slamming against yours, hands groping the fat of your ass. His hand slid down to the arch of your back, pushing down causing you to moan out.
"Sejanus-- fuck!"
"Oh god," He moaned, his eyes closed as he felt his orgasm building up inside of him.
"Inside--" You beg, pushing your hips back to meet his thrusts. You whine at the way his large hands spread your ass.
With a deep groan, Sejanus pushed his cock into you one last time, his thick cock sliding deep inside pulsing and twitching with release. Your tight walls gripped his cock tightly as he emptied his seed into you.
"Yesss!" You whined out, gripping the sheets under you. You heard him pant above you, your cunt still stuffed full of his cock and cum. He leaned forward to place soft kisses along your neck and shoulders.
Feeling you whimper around his cock, Sejanus smiled softly. Gently pulling out his cock from your full cunt. "You okay?"
"Mhm" You hummed, panting into the pillow. Your body twitched in ecstasy, needing him inside you again.
His eyes searched your face for any signs of pain or discomfort but he only found pleasure and need. "You didn't cum?"
Sejanus' fingers spread your tight cunt, watching his cum spill out. His tongue went out to lick your cunt. Feeling your warm cunt, he knew couldn't hold back from tasting you. His tongue darted out to explore your sweetness, lapping up every drop of your juices.
"Ohh--" You gasp, arching your ass up further. Your fingers threading into the pillow, grabbing it for stability.
"The taste of you made his mouth water, he lapped at your sweet cunt like a starved man. As he continued to suck your sensitive clit, he slid two fingers into your wetness, massaging the spot that would make you cum. "I'll make sure you cum."
He groaned as your body shuddered and your cunt spasmed around his fingers. His hands were gentle yet firm. guiding you through the most intense orgasm of your life. As he watched your writhe, he couldn't help but grin in satisfaction. His mouth lingered by your ear, fingers still exploring your cunt. His voice was low as he whispered praises, "That's it."
"Sej-- oh!" His free hand tilted your head back, capturing your lips in a firm yet gentle kiss as he positioned his cock at your entrance again. "Wait--"
His cock slid back into your slick cunt, filling you to the hilt. The sensation was overwhelming, but your cunt was practically sucking him in. "You're so tight."
"I can't-- c-can't take it." You gasp out, squeezing your eyes shut. The way his thick cock split you open.
But, he didn't slow. Instead, he shifted his position to slightly hit your sweet spot, and watched as you moaned and arched your back. He murmured approvingly, "You can."
"Fuck--"
Sejanus gripped your hips, cock bullying your insides. His cock pistoned in and out of you, hitting your sweet spot over and over again until you were crying out in pleasure. "Good girl"
"I can't,” You beg. Sejanus’ free hand entwined his fingers over yours. Leaning over your body, his hot breath fanning over the back of your neck.
"Yes, you can," He bit out between clenched teeth. His hips bucked wildly, driving himself deeper into you with each thrust.
"I-I'm so close." You felt the knot inside you tightening, ready to snap.
"I know you are," He groaned, feeling your walls clench around him. "Need to see your face when you cum undone."
Sejanus flipped you onto your back without pulling out. He held himself up on his arms, watching you eagerly.
"Spread your legs for me," He ordered, smirking when you instantly obeyed. You spread your legs showing him your raw fucked out pussy, stretched out from his fat cock.
With a slow, deliberated pace. He began to thrust in and out of your cunt again. Each of his thrusts sending pleasure through your body. His hands gripped at your hips as he leaned down to nip at your neck and earlobe.
"You like that, don't you?" He groaned, his voice thick with need. Feeling you nod against his chest, he increased the intensity of his movements. He cock pounding into you relentlessly, hitting the spot that made you cry out in pleasure.
"Sej--"
Sejanus didn't stop his thrusts, knowing that the quicker he fucked you, the quicker you'd cum. Your breaths came in short gasps as you tenses underneath him. You dug your nails into the back of his neck, scratching at his skin to pull him closer. The feeling of your nails and the way your walls squeezed him drove him to the brink of his orgasm.
You slid your hand down to your clit, his hips bucked needily against yours. Your eyes rolled back, your back arching off of the bed. Your nipples pressing into his, chest rubbing against each other.
"That's it," He breathed, his voice thick with lust. "Cum for me."
"Sejanus!" You cried out, your walls spasming around his hard length. Your tight cunt milked him mercilessly as wave after wave of pleasure consumed you.
Sejanus' body tensed and he let out a long, low groan as you clenched around him. His cock twitched inside you, his hot seed filled your cunt, overflowing. "So it was true."
"Yeah."
Sejanus smirked, "So you like me."
"Yeah, but you knew that.”

In the shadows
Summary: you’ve always stayed in the back, letting others in the spotlight till he came along and you felt suffocated
Harry James potter x reader
You got fifth place on the class in potions, it was an achievement but not one to brag about, hermione granger was the top of your year as always, there was no surprise there but the third place person made you swallow a bitter taste.
Pansy had asked for your help this past week and going on with that you thought you could help both yourself and her but no, it ended up with you correcting her homework and explaining basic concepts you’ve literally taken in first year.
By doing so you had little time for your own self and ended up staying up late to catch on then came to class sleep deprived, snape was not pleased with you looking half asleep in his class.
You weren’t terrible of course and it wasn’t like anyone would notice if you failed, except for professor snape.
As you gathered your things from the table to exit the door you felt a tab on your shoulder, you mentally prepared yourself to deal with another case of pansy.
To your surprise it wasn’t her but none other than the boy who lived himself, Harry Potter gave you an awkward smile before he spoke "hey, sorry to bother you but I know you’re smart and I could use the help before I get another troll" you blinked at the boy.
"Why didn’t you ask granger isn’t she one of your best mates?" You said closing your bag and swinging it over your shoulder "she’s the smartest girl in our year I think her help will be more valid than mine"
Harry shook his head blushing "she’s smart yes but…"he looked back at his friends then back at you "since they started dating study sessions just became awkward you know what I mean?"
You paused then felt your cheeks burning "I don’t know if I’m who you should ask though"
Harry sighed "please, I promise I’m a quick learner I just need extra help on our new assignment" you thought about it for a minute, one assignment wouldn’t hurt and Harry didn’t always fail potions, he used to score Acceptable and sometimes an E.
"Fine, meet me before supper in the library"
"Thanks you’re the best!" You inhaled sharply at his words and went to your next glass.
That’s how it began, the most ordinary person in the school started tutoring the great Harry Potter, everyone thought he was just using you but in all honestly, Harry wasn’t that bad of a company.
He paid attention to what you said and participated in research instead of depending completely on you alone to do all the work.
He teases you about being into tarot readings and helps you with DADA "you need to point your wand this way and focus on your target, your smart you can do this" those simple words also did things to you, the way he praised your intelligence and didn’t make fun of you for messing up.
"You did it! You’re brilliant just a perfect piece of work you are" he immediately blushed after saying that, realizing he might have went too far but by the way you smiled shyly at the ground it appeared to have the opposite affect.
"Thank you, you’re a good teacher…" Goodness you were awkward.
By the end of the year you could only hear your heart bounding whenever he’s too close, your face burned and all you could think about is your next study session.
Then Ginny kissed him.
After winning the quidditch cup for Gryffindor she kissed him in front of the whole school and your stupid crush made you want to shout and protest about it but you didn’t, you just couldn’t.
And what made it worse is he skipping your study session together, to celebrate the win…he’s probably making out with his new girlfriend now, why would he care about a nobody like you?
You skipped dinner and on your way to your house’s dormitory you got stopped by him in the middle of the hall.
Your wrist felt so fragile in his rough hand, even with gloves on, his hands stayed quite rough from holding onto the broom for a long time.
"Why didn’t you come to supper or the after party?"
You wanted to cry "….I wasn’t invited." What a lame excuse, he probably thought you’re pathetic.
Harry frowned "you don’t need an invite, anyone can come and celebrate you know we share the password after a win for anyone to celebrate with us before it changes next week" you in fact knew that and you hated how dumb you looked right now.
"What’s really the matter?" God why does he have to ask so many questions like he actually cares? You didn’t want to talk or look at him, it just made you more upset. He refused to let you go when you tried to pull away, your eyes were soon no longer able to hold back the tears. They ran down your cheeks like rivers "please let me go, I don’t want to talk to you right now" Harry’s green eyes softened but he didn’t let you go and instead pulled you closer towards him, leaving inches between your faces.
"Am I the reason your crying right now? Did I say or do something before now that upset you?" You shook your head, this was dumb you should’ve stayed in the library until everyone was done eating then went with your house.
"Liar, I hate liars you know that! Tell me what I did wrong?! I’m confused god damn it!" The infamous potter temper was kicking in and you knew how bad those were.
"It’s stupid…I’m…it’s just that…Ginny" you choked on your words, placing your hand over your eyes in a desperate attempt at hiding your face.
Harry didn’t say anything for a long while which made you believe he was so annoyed with your whining that he’s lost for words, but then he warps his arms around your body and holds you in a tight embrace.
You froze then hesitatingly looked at him, he’s looked down at you with those brilliant green eyes that held so much kindness "I’m sorry…I should have done this from the start" he leaned down and kissed your temple.
You stared at him both confused and embarrassed.
He chuckled " I’m sorry you saw that, I didn’t except Ginny to do that but if you hadn’t noticed I didn’t kiss her back…I don’t like Ginny like that"
Your heart bounded hard in your rib cage "why are you telling me this?"
He licked his bottom nervously "because I like you, like a lot and not just as a friend but like you in the way that I want to do this every time I see you" he learned down and pressed his lip’s against yours and you melted against them.
"Harry I-"
"No, please I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to, can we start over?"
You’ve lived in the shadows of people’s lives for so long that it seemed impossible for you to be a person worth mentioning but Harry, Harry made you feel like somebody, you were standing next him and not in his shadow, for once you were worth more than what you thought you were.
"Yes, please."

Idk if you’ve mentioned it before but what is everyone in the Party’s jobs?? We already know Erica is a kickass politician and Lucas is the family embarrassment doctor but what does everyone else do besides bug Steve lol?
Also is Dustin still with Susie or did that ship sail away in the EMTTS?? <333
So, fun fact about me: I am not a big fan of future AUs. I don’t particularly like reading them and I’ve never written one prior to the Tiktok Saga. I think the problem I have with them is that it’s really hard to determine where a character should be thirty-odd years down the road. How or why a one-off post about Eddie being bad with technology turned into all this, I do not know.
I don’t have everybody’s job picked out because I don’t really think about it until it’s relevant to the story, but luckily, I do spend way too much time thinking about this AU so I have few that haven’t been mentioned.
The ones that have been mentioned: Steve is a teacher, Eddie’s a musician, Nancy’s a journalist, Jonathan’s a photographer, Lucas is a doctor, and Erica is a senator.
I think Argyle owns a very successful marijuana dispensary in California where him and Jonathan live and it gives him the freedom to travel with Jonathan when he goes out of town for business. Argyle just has the vibe that should not be working a nine-to-five. Also, I think that Argyle as an old man stoner with long completely gray hair is just so cool.
Robin is also a teacher, but she teaches at a university in the linguistics department. She spoke four languages when she joined the party, she now speaks nine. She’s written a book. She has a kickass rating on Rate My Professor. She’s likely the front runner to take over the department once the current dean retires next year.
I really like the idea of Max becoming a physical therapist. She had a long road to recovery after Venca and spent over a year in physical therapy just learning how to walk again. She knows what it’s like. She knows when and how hard to push her patients, and she’s good at the job. This also makes Max a doctor so Erica includes Max when she says that Lucas is the worst Sinclair.
I’m less defined on what kind of careers that Will, Mike, and El have. I just haven’t found a job that I’m like, yes, that makes perfect sense for that character. I do think that Will has a career where he can be creative and that he’s successful, I just haven’t narrowed it down to what exactly he does.
Mike and El, on the other hand, I have no idea. I mentioned before that Mike had a band that opened up for Eddie on CC’s first national tour and I imagine that he did one summer or during his gap year before college (if he went to college). El, I like to think, travels a lot and has got to see the world and be free of the responsibility of saving the world. But those two, I think, are tough to pin down to a specific career.
Now, for Dustin.
Dustin has had a very successful career as a researcher and his career has taken him all over the world. Now what exactly does he research? That’s up to you. This man is a scientist and that’s all Steve and Eddie can tell you about Dustin’s job because it’s just over of their heads. He loves it and that’s all they need to know.
Dustin and Suzie are currently not together. They have dated off and on since they’ve known each other and have always split on good terms. It has just always been the wrong time for them because when they’re together, they’re great. They hit it off and decide to start dating again, and then they just get busy. They’re both top of their field and work crazy long hours all over the world, and the cost of that is their relationship.
I think they both kinda know that one day, they’ll meet up at the right time, but for now, they’re good friends and they date other people. Steve thinks that they’re soulmates and he’ll randomly give Dustin an update that Suzie is single again. Dustin is always like, “How do you know that?”
“We’re friends on Facebook.”
#Dustin: Why are you friends with my ex on Facebook?#Steve: I gotta know what my daughter in law is up to#steve harrington#eddie munson#eddie munson tiktok saga#the party

Too many bubbles
Matthew finds out bubbly drinks and milk don't mix. Warning for emeto, burps, upset stomach etc.
Matthew was ready for the day to finally end.
He had to leave early, so he didn't get to his morning run, so he also couldn't get to his shake, so he wasn't hungry in the hours he was supposed to be and it messed up his whole day.
To wake himself up for the stupid appointment with the teacher he got the first energy drink he could find in the convenice store. And when he got out he went for another one, cause he found a surprisingly good cherry flavour.
Maybe that should have been a warning enough. That he wasn't used to energy drinks and bubbly drinks. So he should have been careful. But somehow it happened that between the classes and the chaos, he didn't get to have any proper lunch, cause he was hungry at the wrong times and then he only got his cherry energy drink and he ended up drinking about five of them.
Walking home, his stomach was churning. It was upset, bloated and heavy with the bubbles. Matthew couldn't stand the looks people were giving him at the tram and opted to walk the few blocks, hoping it would also ease some of the pressure.
It didn't.
He was so looking forward to shut himself in the apartment and just have some proper alone time to be gross and deal with this. He was muffling burps the whole time as he walked. Why did there have to be so many people out at 4 p.m. anyway?
Finally unlocking the door to the shared apartment, he was welcomed by blissful silence and insistent order.
Isaiah was manic about keeping the place tidy, so this was the cleanest Matthew had lived, ever. Everything had to had its place and surfaces had to be empty, so they could be easily dusted off. Matthew would roll his eyes and complain, but it was effective.
Throwing his bag in the corner and shaking off his shoes without concern, Matthew threw himself onto the cream coloured sofa and sighed in relief. Finally.
Seline should have some work meetings with other university assistants until late today and Isaiah was hardly home preparing for his law exams.
Matthew unbuttoned his pants to as let the bloated loud organ out and massaged at the bubbles to work up some burps. The first few were so loud he self-consciously looked around. The sound carried something terrible with a two floors.
Isaiah just woke up one day and said he signed up for the law entrance exams. Just like that. He was eying a government research project for a while now - something about mental health and city planning and green spaces - and law seemed to be a plus.
So not worried he had not thought about it until now at all. He was doing the entrance and signed himself some classes for the semester, even though he wasn't planning on slowing down with his psychology master.
Apparently, Isaiah could start with the master degree outright if he did some compensation exams, since the master had an international law development focus.
Matthew didn't understand how Isaiah was going to handle so many classes. It just turned his head around.
Matthew had enough to do with his economy classes and he was doing the bare minimum to pass each year, not keeping up with the shortest study plan. He was late a semester or two, so he didn't stress if he got to all classes or not.
But he had to have the most overachieving roomates now. Isaiah with the two masters. Seline working on her PhD proposal and already with her assistant work, although the competition for prae doc scientific personal was crazy.
And here was Matthew, barely passing classes and two semsters late. Way to go.
It was easy to feel stupid between the two. Isaiah was a fussy perfectionist, but the results showed in his grades and professor preferences. He was accepted to more research projects during holidays than Matthew ever applied for.
Seline was an overthinking worryrat, but the passion and ease with which she taught students, did her presentations and wrote her seminar papers was amazing.
Matthew didn't care that much about school. He wanted to be pragmatic, get a useful degree and get out, cause it would heighten his chances. Maybe. Maybe it was just there to look good, since work had very little to do with what you studied. Economy was at least very practical.
Except that became of his temper he did lots of sports, especially running and boxing and then he also had the gym to keep in shape and them it all suddenly took a lot of time.
Maybe it was also his friend circles until now. Who needs school, the attendance was healf-hearted at best if it wasn't currently for exam season. Social sciences were considered to be the most useless anyway. Matthew thought the same thing until he met Isaiah and Seline. Both in social sciences, both wanted to stay in science, and their interest was on a completely different level.
He should really step up his game. Sooner rather than later, or they would leave him behind with their degrees, achievements and geeking.
Matthew massaged some more into his distended belly, ushering up some smaller burps, sprawling on the couch.
Yeah this was nice. He would just enjoy the free evening, get back into his schedule and start tomorrow.
"Hi, I'm home!"
Matthew fought the urge to roll his eyes.
Seline was trashing in the hall as she looked for her slippers. For a girl she was very clumsy and...ungraceful? He didn't notice until he had to live with her and her elephant heavy steps and tendency to crash into everything that stood in her way.
Matthew quickly threw the blanket next to him over his stomach and pants, hiding the annoying bloat and the opened zip. Not something for Seline's delicate eyes to see.
"They let us out early today! Can you believe that without the boss, the meeting takes only half its usual time? Seriously, I love love this job, but the team meetings are the most annoying obsolete things," she chattered as she carried shopping bags through the living room to the kitchen.
"You didn't have to buy stuff. I would have gone tomorrow," Matthew protested at the sight. He couldn't cook and hated cleaning, so shopping was the only contribution left aside the little fiddling with stuff to fix it. He was proud of that one.
"Just a small thing," she waved her hand at him to dismiss the point. "I wanted to try the new oat and nut milks. There are places in Vienna now where you won't get anything else and if I want to try your shakes, I might we well get used to the healthy milk too I'm told, since the shakes are half milk anyway and if I want to get used to a new milk, it better be a good taste. I bought like three sorts. Wanna try them all out?"
Matthew nodded, cause he was in full support of her trying out the protein shakes, getting the vitamins and trying out healthier milks. Whatever the cow milk was, it wasn't milk, but Seline loved it. This was an ongojng battle and a big step for her to initiate it herself. He didn't want to ruin it.
His stomach gurgled a bit, but he felt about ready to stop noticing it. It was fine, he probably massaged enough space into it to try a few sips of milk for sure.
That's when Seline brought six glasses and the three milk sorts, chattering about the fibres and contents.
Matthew swallowed nervously at the milks, but she was already porting it down the glasses and preparing three for him. Full to the brim.
"Don't you dare leave me alone with this! Your idea with the milk, so you better drink it too," she frowned in mocking as she lifted the first glass to him to bump it like champagne.
Matthew obediently clicked the glass to hers and put it to his mouth, smelling it suspiciously. Oat milk sure had a different smell to it. He grimaced a little but she was giving him a glare, so he gulped it down.
Maybe the quicker he got it behind him the better.
His stomach gurgled angrily at the first glass in irritated warning, but it was back to the angry burbling by the second.
Drinking the third glass of whatever weird milk sort it was had his stomach cramping properly.
Matthew scrunched his face and tried to inconspicuously get a hand under the blanket to rub at his stomach.
The last glass left a disgustingly sweet film in his throat and mouth and his stomach gurgled and whined as the milk hit the onslaught of bubbles.
Oh god.
Seline didn't seem to notice, chattering some more about stuff Matthew couldn't even pretend to follow anymore. He felt sweat forming on his face and neck as he fought the pressure down that clawed at his throat.
He turned his head to the side, a fist to his mouth, managing a soundless little burp. But it didn't help. His stomach was bubbling, he could feel the movement at the belly bottom and the tip, right under his skin.
And now the nausea joined the chorus.
The next cramp had him almost doubling over. Saliva was flooding his mouth as the bubbles fought angrily with the three sorts of heavy milk he wasn't used to. His skin was stretched to max and he leaned forward, elbows on his knees as he tried to breathe through the whines and the cramps. They returned with vengeance and gave him very little pauses to breath between them.
"Matt? Are you listening?" Seline asked, voice all innocent.
"YeaH-urrp-" Matthew presed his closed fist to his mouth. Talking was a bad idea, very risky. "...sure I am."
"Well, you don't look it," she said, hands on her hips from where she sat across him.
Matthew lifted his gaze to her, when a giant bubble pressed at his stomach and rushed up his throat. His cheeks puffed out, but he fought it down in panic. He couldn't, by good conscious, burp in front of Seline.
But that was the last drop. His stomach cramped and heaved and had Matthew scrambling up with urgency. The bubbles and milk wanted out, out, out.
In face of the panicked realisation he was going to throw up, Matthew headed for the kitchen, hand pressed against his mouth.
He made it to the sink at the last second as his stomach heaved and then the milk was rushing out of him with a loud splash of white watery vomit.
Before he could breathe, there was another wave, almost choking him on its way up. He coughed and splattered, the milk bubbling nastily at his mouth and dripping down his nose as he leaned against he sink with both hands.
This was terrible and it wasn't helping.
His stomach heaved and heaved, cramping hard and he wrapped an arm around it as he groaned against the flood of milk and cola and energy drinks he didn't even count or notice as he devoured them instead of lunch.
"Jesus Christ, Matthew! What the hell?" Seline was standing beside him, hand lightly on his back as she hovered, face resolutely turned away from the sink.
Matthew tried to answer only for another wave to rush out of him and his whole body heaved and shuddered as it landed in the sink. At least it was clean from any plates.
He burped another smaller and chunkier wave before a series of empty burps finally, finally eased up the pressure in his stomach. It deflated now, though it hurt from the cramps.
Matthew leaned his forehead against the sink in relief, holding onto the granite with both hands again as he rested.
"That was something. Like a real force," Seline commented, a little disgusted grin on her face as she rubbed his back. "You feeling better now?"
Matthew burped loudly, not minding anymore if she heard or not. He felt deliciously empty and free of the bubbly disaster, breathing hard through his nose and mouth. "...yeah. Sorry. Too many bubbly drinks."
"You should have said something! Bubbles and milk don't mix."
"I don't think the oat thing mixes with me either. Blah. Just the taste of it makes me nauseous."
"You just got a bad memory tied to it now," Seline smiled, tapping his back forcefully.
It ushered up another burp, from the pit of his stomach and Matthew worriedly leaned over the sink in case it brought up something.
But it was empty.
"Come on, let's sit you down." Seline was tugging at the back of his shirt. It was then that Matthew realised that in his rush, he left his pants unzipped.
The thought had his ears burning red.
Seline didn't seem to notice though, so he let the water run in the sink to wash his sickness away and let himself be dragged back to the couch.
Oh yeah, he was so ready for this day to be over already.

Human!Dreamling AU
Hob is a former soldier turned history professor (original, I know)
Dream is a successful author; he writes under the pseudonym of Morpheus because he likes his privacy
Dream starts sitting in on Hob’s history classes because he’s doing research for his next book
Which would fine and all, if only 1) he had bothered to tell Hob that rather than just showing up one day, and 2) he wasn’t so distracting for the actual students in the class
As it is, Dream just starts showing up after class one day and Hob is like “um?? Can I help you???”
Dream: “your Department Chair said I could be here”
Hob: “well no one told ME that”
It starts off a bit contentious; Dream refuses to tell Hob what he’s writing about, just asks vague questions, and his attitude makes Hob feel inferior or like he’s being judged
In truth Dream is just an awkward idiot who has a hard time talking to people, hence the need for writing under a pseudonym and saving his privacy
Hob, finally reaching his limit with feeling like he’s being judged and deemed inadequate, asks why Dream doesn’t just sit in with the other history professors
Dream, getting huffy and defensive, says “my sister praised your passion and depth of knowledge in your field, but if you truly find me so bothersome, I’ll find someone else”
Hob: “sorry, did you say sister?”
Hob served in the army with Death, who was a combat medic
Death and Hob kept in touch after being discharged from the army, but they both kind of got busy with life and only occasionally saw each other on social media
While Hob went on to get his degree in history and teach, Death got her PhD in medicine and opened her own practice
When Dream complained about needing to do some research on an era of history for his next book to Death, she suggested Hob and talked about how good of a teacher he was. So Dream pulled some strings and got permission from the Department Chair to sit in on Hob’s classes.
Hob is a little embarrassed - he considers himself a pretty average professor and doesn’t have the same years of experience as some of the other professors - but feels honored that Death recommended him so highly
Ofc before he can actually say anything like that, Dream leaves because he’s Offended and needs to sulk
Feeling a little bad about how they parted (only a little bc Dream can be an ass when he wants to be), Hob reaches out to Death again and tells her about it. She’s pretty much like “sigh yeah that’s Dream for you, dw I’ll talk to him”
Cue her calling Dream and calling him an idiot and telling him he needs to use his words more rather than expecting everyone to simply accommodate him.
Death uses Older Sister Voice to strike a blow!! Dream sulks about it some more but realizes she’s right and shows up to the next class Hob is teaching
He doesn’t really apologize but he does say he overreacted; Hob DOES apologize for misjudging Dream, however. He’s still willing to give Dream a shot now that he knows Death specifically recommended him to Dream
Hob tried to ask Dream about the books he’s written before but Dream Will Not tell him what his pen name is; hob also tries to ask what the current book is about, and Dream still won’t talk about it
This is all frustrating to Hob, bc if he knew even what genre Dream was writing he could probably help more than by just giving a basic history lesson. He could be specific about what he tells Dream, give plot relevant info, etc etc.
Dream dgaf tho and plays it all close to the vest bc he doesn’t want someone ‘interfering’ with his writing process. It irks Hob, but he comes to see it as a game, trying to figure out Dream’s pseudonym from little clues in their conversations.
Leading to not only many more classes where Dream shows up (Hob’s students are INTRIGUED bc who is this man randomly hanging around our professor?), but also some one on one meetings either at Hob’s office or at the New Inn over drinks. Dream even offers to pay Hob, but Hob insists he just pay for the drinks when they go out, bc he sees his talks with Dream as a favor to his Death, who saved his life more than once out in the field
What started as a rough partnership evolves into a comfortable friendship over months, as their meetings eventually start to progress past just talking about history to other topics. They get to know each other outside the original context of their meetings by talking about things that, yknow, friends talk about. Food, hobbies, family, past experiences, etc.
I think the tipping point for Hob realizing he’s got a crush on Dream would be him coming into the university building where he teaches one day and seeing Dream talking to another professor.
All the social studies and liberal arts are taught in the same building. Dream showed up early for Hob’s class bc he thought he heard a different professor reciting Shakespeare to their class once. He likes Shakespeare ofc so he thought he’d show up a little early to listen to the Shakespeare class out of curiosity. He ends up in a discussion after the class ends with the professor. The professor, named Will (bc I think I’m hilarious), is an English professor who teaches a class on Shakespearean Literature to third and fourth year students.
On his way to his own class, Hob sees the two of them talking after the Shakespeare class ends, and feels a little weird about it but he has a class to teach so he ignores it
Or at least he tries to. The feeling grows when his class starts and Dream is nowhere to be seen for at least the first 30 min of class. When Dream finally does come in, it’s the latest he’s ever arrived and it bugs tf out of Hob so much he tells Dream after class that they can’t meet that day bc there’s a faculty meeting that Hob forgot about.
Dream is a little surprised and disappointed, but is okay with putting their meeting off for another day. After he leaves, Hob finds himself wondering exactly why he told Dream they couldn’t meet, bc now that Dream’s gone he regrets lying and just wants Dream to come back. Now irritated with both himself and Will the English professor, Hob goes home for the rest of the day to grade papers. If there’s a little more red on the essays than there normally is, that’s only bc his students had a particularly hard time with the recent unit and not at all bc he’s mad.
Hob doesn’t have any classes the next day, but he does actually have a meeting with the Department Chair about next semester’s classes, so he goes to the university. After his meeting with the Chair, he happens to walk by Will the English professor’s class out of curiosity and sees Dream sitting in the back of the class. Hob gets aggravated all over again, stewing outside the closed classroom door (it’s one of those with the window on the door) and thinking not very nice thoughts about Will the English professor when Dream looks towards him and sees Hob at the door. He looks surprised.
Without even thinking about it Hob automatically leaves bc shit! Dream caught him standing outside the class like a creepy stalker! Fuck. Hob drives all the way home mortified and cursing himself before he realizes he’s blushing all over. Cue the realization that hey maybe this is about more than just his friend becoming friends with Will the English professor.
I have more for this AU, but this post is getting a little long for mobile so I’m cutting it off here (for now…)
Now with a Part 2!

I dont play twisted wonderland, but I wanted to make something for this fandom from reading multiple yan!twst. I kept most things vague, but if I got something wrong about a character tell me. One day when I am finally able to change my phone the first thing i would do is download this game TvT
Edit: I play Twisted Wonderland now-
Tags: fem!reader, child!reader, platonic yandere
Characters: School staff
Imagine just a small child was the one who gets taken into twisted wonderland rather than Yuu. The small child doesn't even know where she was as the cat who was surprised kept bugging her with question after queation about how you got here and such.
You cant answer, you didnt even have the answers as you just remember falling asleep on your bed peacefully only to wake up in a huge box opened by a cat.
A talking cat at that.
Dear the stress you gave to the poor thing when you suddenly grabbed the cat's cheeks and just pulled them. Made the poor cat yell in pain.
Crowley found you soon after, shocked to see a small child here in twisted wonderland! As he too started to ask where your parent was and how did you get here even berating the cat for being you here. (The cat Grim just continued to vehemently deny that he was the one who brought you here!!) You could not answer the man, just cheerfully telling the man that you were sleeping in your bed only to wake up here.
After realizing that he can't get any answers from your Crowley just picked you up in his arms as he called the other teachers to his office.
The other teachers were also surprised when they saw you in Crowley's arms. They had wondered why the headmaster suddenly called for an emergency meeting and expected a few things may have gone wrong or some sort sure...
but a kid??
Sam jokingly asked if you were Crowley's kid that he never told anyone about which Crowley pointedly denied. He soon explained what had happened.
The teachers tried to push you for answers, some almost demanding you to give them till you burst out crying for feeling so much pressure. Professor Mozus suddenly took you away from Crowley's arms comforting you in his arms trying to shush as he glared at the other teachers for being so pushy to a small kid.
Slowly they found out that you were from another realm, not from here and that they cant just easily send you off to your home.
Your family probably thought you were kidnapped at this point!
Crowley had an idea of sending you to an orphanage while he research a way to get you back to your home but reasons aroused that made it impossible to send you away like that.
That the teachers were forced to take care of you.
That would not be a problem at all…. sure…
Who will be taking care of the kid?
It was Mozus who spoke first at the silent atmosphere saying that he would be the one taking care of you tho he would probably occasionally need help if his teacher's duty kept him busy and that was fine with others.
A lot of students were shocked to see you in professor Mozus's arms most of the second years and up have to blink multiple of times or rub their eyes shocked to see a kid with the professor much less smiling at the old guy. The fact that he was also smiling at you made many students believe that this was either a dream or an illusion some choosing to forget the whole thing.
Well, as if that was possible when you follow the old guy to class listening in on the lessons... Listening to the old man or occasionally be seen drawing something while the old man would yell at the student who stared at you for too long.
Sometimes they found you to be with other teachers who looked rather awkward to the fact that they had to watch you. Sometimes they would yell only to hold their tongue when they realize a small child was there in their classroom and might cry like she did last time and they won't be able to fix the situation.
But time went by they grew more and more attached to you. They started to often fight on who you would stay with when Mozus was busy, not only that they started to ask Mozus if he ever wants rest they could help him watch over you. It was suspicious when they do that for Mozus who always deny their offer preferring to be with you than let others take care of you.
It was even annoying when Crowley started to ask Mozus if he could take care of you at that point Mozus's cat would hiss at the headmaster wearing a crow mask daring him not to go near you or even touch you.
Lucius was also the same with the students hissing at those who wanted to talk to you. The more curious students would often try to get close to while the teacher is teaching to ask who you were and if you really were the daughter of professor Mozus or any other questions that had to deal with the rumors floating around not before they were caught by a teacher and shooed away from you.
There were many rumors floating around about you and since they can't go near you and the teachers all give mixed or vague answers none of those rumors were able to be put to rest.
There were rumors where people thought that you were the daughter of Professor Mozus who gave his daughter to the other professors to take care of her every so often. That somehow Professor Mozus had either fallen in love or had a one night stand incident or just something when tho almost nobody could believe that.
Professor Mozus would often smile if asked if you were his daughter about it not denying or accepting the rumors to be true, while other teachers would quickly deny any claims of it which only made things all the more suspicious really. (Tho everybody saw the sour face professor Mozus had when asked about the mother.)
Mozus would get you to wear a more sophisticated look with dark colors and frills occasionally he would make you wear a more pastel lolita style, it makes you look as if you were really the daughter of Mozus which the professors absolutely dislike. So whenever they got you they would quickly swap your outfit that Mozus picked into something more their style. Crowley probably has a small mask and coat that is similar to his when he would make you wear as you go around campus carried in his arms as you giggled at how ticklish the feathers on the mask were.
When you are in Divus's hands you would be wearing a small white fur coat as he told you to straighten your back and chin up. The professor tries to make you a model somtimes and would nag you to keep the jacket on even when you feel stuffy. While Sam would make you wear clothes oh his color tones with an added skull as you try and help around the shop (most things he wouldn't dare you to touch would be placed on the high shelves). Same for Ashton where he would make you wear something of sports wear.
At some point, the professors started fighting for your attention trying to get you to come them that day with promises, candy, toys and even more. The students who have seen this happening cannot believe their ears so much so that they again choose to believe that all this was a dream and nothing more, choosing in the end to forget what had happened and when somebody talks about it they block their ears and started a shout as if doing that could deny them the reality of what has happened.
It was never said that Crowley stopped seaching for a way for you to go back. They didnt want you to leave having grown so attached to you, they wanted to be with you, they wanted you to stay while they became your official guardians.
So when you started to cry wanting to see your parents, they will soothe you by telling you that it was alright, that it was okay that they would be with you and that they would never abandon you. They would not disappear like your parents did and they would love you more than your parents ever did.
Really it is rather often that some of the teachers would fight over who actually becomes your father, sure all of them became your guardians but who is like your father? Sam is alright being your uncle so long as he was your favorite uncle but like it was never decided who is your father…

I am already intrigued by Hartley/Barry/Cisco with the same shitty ex (Eobard) mention
So I'll have to take my time to workshop this some, but the event isn't until July 14th so I've got plenty of time to shine this idea up. But.
AU-land here, where Professor Thawne works at CCU. Or did. He's being fired after a grad student - Barry - came forward to admit that he'd been taken advantage of by the Professor and now lots of current and former students are coming out of woodwork because Thawne threatened their grades if they didn't sleep with them or etcetera.
There'd be some establishing flashbacks as they all had very different experiences with Eobard. He wooed Hartley then stole his research and ruined Hartley's relationship with his parents by outing him to them. While he was in the screwing Hartley over stage of things, he took up with Cisco who was able to get out of the relationship before things went sour and was only really aware in retrospect that it was a very toxic and power imbalanced relationship for him and that Eobard probably pitted him against Hartley deliberately so as to prevent them from realizing how he was using them. Barry was not directly one of Eobard's students but quickly realized he was being used for a.) his research and b.) as revenge on his parents for his mom snubbing Eobard when they were much younger... well...
So they all meet on campus, Barry's worried that this could affect the PhD he's about to finish up, Hartley and Cisco are reluctantly apologizing to each other and admitting they've got more in common with each other than they realized... and both vowing to make sure that Barry gets his degree since he was the first one out of so many who was brave enough to speak out about what was going on. And the three of them wind up at the campus coffee house just talking until a ridiculous hour of the morning when one of them jokes about this being what a nice first date really ought to be like. And...
They're like... why not? Why not have this be their first date? Why not go on more dates, to see if they work as a trio.
Fast forward to Eobard catching sight of them a year later and realizing they're on a date. His three most hated exes. And they're just kind of like 'ah, thanks, if you hadn't been a shitty, toxic influence on our lives then we never would have found such a healthy relationship with each other afterwards.'
Eobard - *life ruined, steaming with rage, blaming these three in particular for rallying the rest and Barry especially for being the first domino*
Hartley/Barry/Cisco - *too busy being happy together to give Eobard the time of day*
Admittedly, there's room for a canon AU in there too as an alternative take on the prompt. But I feel like a non-canon AU gives more breathing space for having Eobard date and break up with all three of them separately before they all meet up with the intention of destroying his reputation beyond repair.
I'm eying several other prompts on there going oh this one's a good Westhallen prompt (Love triangle? No!) or thinking how I've never written Len/Mick/Sara before but the criminal 4 criminal 4 criminal one could be fun for them, there are several I'm kinda going 'hmmmm, Barrisco???'... and I haven't done Oliver/Felicity/Dig since Telephone, but the friend group goes through trauma prompt does seem very them...
So I'll see what I write between now and July and maybe I'll hit a few of these. :D

C+|| Professor!Eddie Munson x Black!Fem Reader
Summary: After receiving a less than stellar grade on assignment, you receive a request to attend Professor Munson’s office hours. Stuck in a cozy office with your extremely hot professor, your anxiety takes hold and office hours take an unexpected turn.
Triggers: Panic attacks, Mental Health
Minors, please dni.
Let’s chat during my office hours this week!
You thought about throwing that little post-it stuck to your failure of an essay on the romantic poets right into the garbage and pretending you never got it. Class was hard enough, the material was engaging, you were learning so much yet at the same time, you weren’t paying any fucking attention at all.
Those salt and pepper curls, the way he chewed on his glasses, that weird little dance he did when someone made an interesting point or gave a correct answer.
That smile....
No, absolutely not.
You had a master’s degree.
You had a perfect GPA.
You qualified to be a Rhodes Scholar.
In kindergarten, your teacher said you were a pleasure to have in class.
You were pristine.
And now you were pristinely sweating in front of your professor’s office, desperately trying to ignore that prickling feeling in the back of your neck. You knocked firmly yet politely, about a few seconds from turning and running away when music from the other side of the door turned off and it was now or never.
The door swung open and there he was, tweed blazer gone, crisp white shirt a little more open than usual, sleeve rolled up to the elbow displaying tattoos you didn’t expect a professor of poetry to have.
“Come in, I’m so glad you had time to come today!” He said brightly, pushing his tortoiseshell glasses to the top of his head, flattening himself against the door so you could pass.
A faint whiff of cigarettes and some sort of earthy cologne had you melt but you straightened up immediately, pulling out your paper and notebook. He takes the chair opposite you, legs crossed, reaching for his own notes.
“So, how do you feel about this paper? Let’s start there.” He said brightly.
The prickling on the back of your neck starts to become a buzzing and it feels like your whole head is vibrating but you ignore it.
“I felt pretty solid about it.I gave thoroughly checked research, provided more than necessary sources to support every claim about Keats’ work I presented, there were no grammar errors, and I ran it through six different plagiarism checkers. The word length is exactly as you required so I’m not sure I understand what I did wrong.” You said, honestly.
He gently took the paper from your hands to inspect his own writing, your hands starting to shake as he went through each red marked page.
What else could those fingers do, you wondered.
“Your research was impeccable, your grammar and analysis were great, and there are exactly 5,000 words. However, as this was an opinion and analysis assignment, your opinion on the poem itself seems to be missing. You did an amazing analysis but that was only half the assignment and that’s why you received a low grade.”
“I don’t understand.” You said quietly, your hands started to shake and your chest felt really tight all of the sudden. His voice faded into static in your ears and you were really struggling to stay focused.
“I want to know how Keats' work made you feel as well as how the work has been regarded over time. You’re a person, not a research archive. Do you understand what I’m saying?” He asked, leaning in to meet your gaze.
“I read the instructions fifteen times, I analyzed the poem, I gave opinions, strong opinions.” You choked out.
“Other people’s opinions, dead old guy opinions, I wanted yours.” He said, leaning back in his chair.
Failure.
All that work, all that money, two degrees down and you were still just a failure.
“I did a full assignment, I didn’t do half the assignment, I would never do half the work required.” You muttered, trying to take a breath that wasn’t coming.
Eddie leaned forward, confused, studying your face before his own face softened with concern as he said your name, once, then again with no response from you.
“Can you hear me, sweetheart? Are you alright?”
You couldn’t breathe.
Okay, five things you could see.
Dirty carpet, empty coffee cup, worn books, your professor’s big brown eyes, oh fuck this was happening in front of an audience.
Another failure.
“Look at me, you’re okay, everything is okay. Fuck the paper, I’ll give you an A if you just take a breath, please breathe!” Professor Munson said, somehow looking worse than you felt.
You tried to take a big breath but nothing but a rasping noise came out and the office was starting to get very blurry very quickly. Eddie crouched down in front of you, hesitant.
“Can I touch you, is that okay?” He asked, voice soft and quiet as to not to scare you even more than you already were.
Please do.
How the fuck were you anxious and horny? One of those should cancel the other out.
You managed to nod and Eddie covered your hands with his own, squeezing gently.
“ You’re okay, nothing in this room or in your head can hurt you, I’m right here. Breathe with me, okay? A nice deep breath, we’ve got all the time in the world.” He said slowly, taking a big breath and you mimicked him,allowing yourself to inhale deeply.
“Good job, sweetheart. Let’s try again, shall we?” He asked, thumb rubbing against your knuckles as you breathe together an additional time. It takes a few minutes before your breathing goes back to normal but he doesn’t let you go.
“There she is, welcome back, sweet girl.” He said with a soft smile, his hand reaching up to stroke your cheek and you put your hand over his time, closing your eyes. You both relaxed into each other’s embrace in the quiet of his office, breathing and being as one.
“I should let you go now.” He said, leaning back first with an awkward cough, looking anywhere but your face, running a hand through his hair.
“But-” You started.
Eddie looked back at you, eyes dark.
“But what?”
You brought your face close to his, not breaking eye contact.
“But what if I don’t want you to?”
Hope you liked this!

NOTE: This is for @yakshasslut Opposites Collide event! Feel free to read the other amazing works on the event <3
The rivalry and hatred between your professor and his teaching assistant were well-known, but nothing was ever done because the two worked so well together and against each other.
They had written numerous research papers and done projects that went on to be recognized, just to spite the other.
Eren Yeager despised how intelligent Kishibe could be without even trying. The "old man" excelled at everything and was a panty-dropping slut of a professor.
Kishibe simply liked tormenting his younger teaching assistant, and the main reason why was because he liked the seething look on Eren's face as he won time and time again.
"You're just a dirty old man," Eren muttered under his breath as he stood next to Kishibe as their next class rolled in.
Kishibe chuckled. "You're a twerp who has no game."
You walked up to the desk, standing in front of the two. "Um — Professor, I had a question from our midterm study guide and I was wondering if you could offer some guidance after class?"
"Of course," said Kishibe, eyes obviously glued to your breasts that were spilled over your low-cut shirt. "Who's your TA?"
"Oh — " Your eyes darted to Eren who stood next to him. "It's Eren, but his slots are filled up, so I thought I'd come to you."
"You did the right thing. The professor is always better than the teaching assistants. Come to my office after class."
Eren's eye twitched at his professor's blatant insult.
"Yes, I'll be there! Thank you, Professor Kishibe," you said brightly as you scurried off to find a seat before his lecture started.
"I'm going to that meeting," said Eren. "I can answer her questions as easily as you."
"You're just my pupil," said Kishibe. "What do you know?"
Eren opened his mouth to retort, but Kishibe had already turned away and walked to the front of the class to begin his lecture.
Eren was seething the entire time, imagining various ways to murder his professor without it pointing to him. But he knew there was no way that would be possible because he'd be the number one prime suspect.
After Professor Kishibe's lecture ended, you made your way to his office, which wasn't too far from the lecture location. You wanted to get there before him to be polite.
"Thank you again for seeing me today, Professor Kishibe," you said as you straightened your skirt before sitting down.
"Of course," he said as he sat on the edge of his desk in front of you. "What was your question?"
"Oh! Sorry, let me get out my binder," you hurriedly said as you opened your bag and pulled it out, spilling a bundle of pens onto the floor in the process. "I'm so sorry! I'm a mess."
"No worries."
You got onto your knees and began picking up your pens that were scattered along the floor. As you leaned forward to grab a glittery pink pen, Eren's and Kishibe's eyes simultaneously widened at the sight of your pussy which was covered by a pair of tight pink panties. The two glanced at each other briefly before looking away.
"Sorry about that," you said as you sat back down and placed your pens away. "Anyways, I had a few questions but question seven is the main one because if I did this one wrong, then I definitely did the others wrong which I thought I got all right."
Kishibe walked around to stand behind you as you explained how you got that answer. He hummed in response to your babbling as placed a gentle hand on your left shoulder and pointed to a number, asking how you got that one.
All Eren could think of was how perverted this old man could be. It was so obvious that Kishibe was seducing his student. There was no space between them.
But the last straw for him was a sly smirk Kishibe sent him from the side.
"Y/N, I think you should do the problem on the whiteboard. It'll be easier to see and work out," said Eren.
"Oh, that makes more sense," you said as you got up from your seat to walk to the whiteboard.
"Two can play at this game, grandpa," muttered Eren.
"I didn't realize we were playing a game, B-Minus."
"I deserved that A-minus on that paper, you fucking geezer," snapped Eren.
Kishibe grinned. "If you can outplay me at my own game, I'll give you that A."
"You're on."
Eren walked up to you, placing his hands on your hips as he stood right behind you to watch the whiteboard.
"I see where you went wrong," said Eren. "You're not supposed to divide this. You only multiply it and then put it under Y."
"Really? I think I did the same thing for another problem, but I don't think I had trouble with that one," you muttered.
He hummed, pressing his body against yours and rubbing against your ass. "Kishibe must have explained it horribly during the lecture."
"Well, let's not get too hasty," Kishibe said as he approached you. "Y/N was probably distracted during the lecture that day. Isn't that right, Y/N?"
His hand rubbed your thigh softly, sliding up and pushing your skirt up. You tensed, suddenly aware of Eren's body pressed up against you from behind and Kishibe's hand pulling the edge of your panties.
"P-Professor, I — "
"See, she wasn't distracted," said Eren as his hand began to grope your ass. "You're just dumb."
"You shouldn't cut off a woman," chastised Kishibe. "It's rude. Isn't it, Y/N?"
"Uh — Y-Yes."
You couldn't tell if you were dreaming or not. Both Professor Kishibe and Eren were extremely attractive. You often masturbated to thoughts of them late at night, dreaming of Eren's tongue flicking your clit and Kishibe teasing your mouth with his cock.
Eren rolled his eyes. "You're putting words into her mouth."
Kishibe smirked. "I can put something else in her mouth — with your permission, of course, Y/N."
"My mouth?" you repeated.
"Don't listen to him," said Eren. "Mine's bigger."
"What'll it be, Y/N? Mine or the twerp's?" Kishibe questioned.
"Both," you blurted out.
The two men froze in surprise for a moment.
"Both, huh?" Kishibe questioned. "All right, princess."
He grabbed you by the waist and lifted you, placing you on top of his desk and spreading your legs in the process.
"You seem eager. Been thinkin' of us lately?" Kishibe asked.
When you said nothing and looked away, he knew he was right. He grinned in response, knowing you were going to be a good time. He pressed two fingers to your pussy, rubbing through the cloth of your panties before moving them to the side to slide his fingers between your folds.
Eren could only watch, stunned at how hot and easy you were. You were gasping softly, moving your hips against your professor's fingers. Kishibe leaned forward to kiss you, tongue sliding into your mouth.
Eren moved behind you to the other side of the desk and began taking off your top and bra. His fingers trailed your back before brushing against your nipples. You sighed into Kishibe's mouth, content with where you currently were.
"I got an idea, princess," he murmured against your lips. "Why don't you take Eren's dick?"
Eren brightened up at that, painfully aware of how tight his jeans currently were. Strands of his hair were falling onto his face and sticking because of sweat.
"Lay down and be good," ordered Kishibe as he lightly nudged you down.
You aid flat on the desk, hanging your head off the edge. You could hear Kishibe unbuckling his pants and you could see Eren unbuckling his pants in front of you.
Your eyes widened when his cock sprung out. It wasn't too fat, but slender and long.
"Tongue out, Y/N," Eren commanded.
Your tongue automatically stuck out and Eren tapped the head of his cock onto it, sliding back and forth to get the underside wet. He groaned in pleasure before sliding his cock into your mouth. Tiny tears welled up in your eyes as he moved his hips back and forth. He leaned forward, playing with your nipples as his cock invaded your throat.
Kishibe kissed your clit, causing you to jolt in surprise. He chuckled, and you could feel the air from his nose. He straightened up and rubbed your clit with his thumb, while his other hand pumped his cock.
"What a pretty pussy," he cooed.
Your eyes rolled to the back of your head as his fat cock stretched out your pussy, filling you to the brim. You let out a shrill moan from the back of your throat as your walls tightened around his cock.
"Cum already, princess?"
He leaned forward and a glob of saliva dropped down from his mouth to your clit. He started rubbing your clit with his thumb as he gave lazy strokes, while Eren throat fucked you. The combination of soft and slow, and hard and rough drove you crazy.
"Fuck," Eren grunted.
"Already?" Kishibe questioned.
"Shut up, old man. Look at how slow you're going," he retorted.
Kishibe ignored him and picked up the pace. His free hand grabbed your thigh, pushing it to the side. His fingers dug into your flesh, creating imprints. Similarly, your arms were bent at an angle so you could grip Eren's hips.
At his age, Kishibe knew he wasn't going to last, but he still knew how to please a woman. You had cum and spasmed around his cock twice now, and your body was twitching.
"Swallow it, baby," grunted Eren. "I'm gonna give you a fat load. God, you're so fucking hot."
Your brain shut off for a moment at his compliments and a wave of hot semen shooting down your throat and filling your mouth. You swallowed what you could, but knew it would be too much for you. Thankfully, he pulled out from your mouth and shot the rest of his load onto your face and chest.
Your walls tightened around Kishibe's cock, suffocating him and forcing his load to shoot out.
"Fuck, shit," he groaned as he looked down at his load spilling out.
Strands of his hair stuck to his forehead as he pulled out and tapped his cock against your clit before taking a breather.
"Eren, grab some napkins."
Eren rolled his eyes but obeyed him. "I'm not the only one who got the soul sucked out of him."
"What a shame," retorted Kishibe. "Princess, you on birth control?"
"Mhm," you weakly answered, fucked out of your mind to even comprehend anything that was being said between your professor and teaching assitant.
"Don't worry about the midterm, princess. You get an A-plus," said Kishibe with a lazy smirk. "I need a smoke now."

Aight folks, I went to watch Providence with Japanese subs TWICE in three days now and after the initial emotional anechoic chamber it put me through, I can finally recount the movie and make sense of its plot and themes. So here is a ⚠️‼️ VERY SPOILER HEAVY RECAP ‼️⚠️ of the whole movie (literally very long, scene-by-scene of everything I can rmbr) & some commentary under cut.
The movie opens with a group of assailants raiding a cargo ship. Seems like their target is a woman aboard named Professor Stronskaya who's accosted in her room by a man with red dreads and a blond man. Over the ship we see Kougami flying on a plane with Frederica over the radio. They're there to rescue the Professor. Kougami drops down to the ship (in only what I can call, a flying squirrel suit) and there's a shoot out. He finds the Professor's room but she's dead. He's attacked again and hears somebody speaking to him an excerpt of the bible. Things are exploding on the ship and Kougami escapes to safety by jumping into the ocean.
Cut to Nona tower after the OP credits. Akane is speaking at a meeting of Directors about Japan's upcoming decision to abolish the legal system now that judicial proceedings are more or less moot with Sybil in place. We meet Atsushi Shindou, Director of Welfare who tries to keep the peace among the members and he says a guest was suppose to join them but did not make it to the meeting. Akane gets an urgent call from Mika and excuses herself from the meeting.
Mika tells Akane about the attacked cargo ship that's sailed up to Japan's port and tells her to "stop playing politician and get back here already" lol. Shindou approaches Akane and accompanies her to the cargo ship. Turns out it was Shindou that invited Professor Stronskaya as the guest for the meeting and that she is a global researcher who wrote a document called "The Stronskaya Papers". They have a discussion in the car ride where Shindou tells Akane he has high hopes for her, but also, maybe she shouldn't piss off people that could help her in the long run. Big oops mood but also, nice to see our classic Akane still, haha.
Akane and Shindou arrive at the site of the cargo ship where we find Mika being difficult to Frederica to say the least lol. Frederica is with the Director of Foreign Affairs (who I honestly forgot his name so I'll just refer to him as "DFA"). Shindou calls up Kasei and she instructs Division 1 to hand over the case to Foreign Affairs. There's a funny moment after of Mika badmouthing the situation and Shindou sneaks up on her telling her to watch what she says cuz the DFA has a really special hearing aid LMAO.
Division 1 recaps to Akane what they could find on the ship in the short amount of time while Akane also fills in her team abt Professor Stronskaya. Gino mentions they found the Professor dead but confirming it would be difficult bc she was decapitated. Hinakawa says the Professor sent one last message out before she died and it was to Jouji Saiga (👀‼️).
Akane calls Saiga-sensei in the privacy of the MWPSB car. Shindou knocks on the window and joins in on the call. Turns out Shindou and Saiga-sensei know each other from their university days where Shindou was Saiga's senpai (again another 👀‼️). They talk abt Prof Stronskaya but Saiga says he wants to speak to Akane alone about it.
Akane meets Saiga-sensei in his isolation unit and they talk abt how he knows Shindou, Prof Stronskaya and the Stronskaya Papers. Saiga tells Akane the papers are about Sybil and its impact on society and that they could very well change the stability of the world and Japan. He confirms the last message he got from Prof Stronskaya is the location to a P.O. box in Dejima, Kyushu where the papers are kept. Akane asks if Saiga would help her retrieve the papers, ofc Saiga agrees.
Before they head out to Dejima, Akane meets with Kasei alongside Mika, Frederica, and the DFA. They debrief on the assailant group and its here we learn of the main baddie of our movie: a man call Tonami who was part of the Japanese military group, the "Peacebreakers" formed by the MOFA. The Peacebreakers were active overseas 5 years ago on behalf of the MOFA, but all its members including Tonami went rogue. Now that they're back in Japan, its decided this will be a joint operation to reign them in. Kasei says smth along the lines of "you cant hunt feral animals with dogs so what better way but with bloodhounds, make good use of him" referring to you know who !!!!
Cut to Division 1's office. Gino's livid and ready to start a fight at the sight of Kougami back in Japan (he's really yelling "how dare you show your face here again"). Sugo breaks them up as Akane, Mika, and Frederica enter the office. Kougami greets Akane with calling her "Inspector" (🥺) while Akane (tries to?) keeps a poker face.
Akane, Gino, Sugo escort Saiga with Frederica and Kou to Dejima while Mika, Yayoi, Hinakawa and Shion stay in Tokyo as support. They discuss Tonami again on the plane where Gino asks a question and Kou tried to answer but Gino retorts a petty "I wasn't asking you" LMAO. They arrive at one of the MOFA buildings for their stay and it's noted that Dejima is where all the refugees/immigrants live in Japan while they await naturalization.
Saiga looks into profiling Tonami and the Peacebreakers. He and Kou discuss it over liquor and Saiga-sensei gives some more dad advice to Kougami (he tells Kou to apologize to Akane while he still can 😂). Kou calls up Akane on the balcony a while later and they talk about why he's returned. Akane hangs up on him when he says he doesnt regret his decision (and his face is priceless 😂😂😂) cuz she was also hoping he would apologize but he didnt. Frederica meets with DFA for something and he tells her dont let Kougami or Saiga know of their plan.
The next morning the team goes to retrieve the papers at the P.O. box and there's another Saiga-dad moment where he teases Kougami for "[he] couldnt do it, huh" while Kou plays dumb (😂). The P.O box address was a fake, Prof Stronskaya didnt leave the document in there to be safe. Turns out DFA also planned Saiga to be a setup: there was a leak in the MOFA to lure the Peacebreakers targeting Saiga-sensei for the papers. Now the Peacebreakers—including the dreads guy and blond guy (now named Kai) from before—are attacking, and its a matter of keeping Saiga safe.
Akane, Kou, and Frederica try to evacuate Saiga to the extraction point while Gino and Sugo fend off Peacebreakers on their own. They find out the Dominators dont work on Peacebreaker soldiers bc of (artifically) low Crime Coefficients and have to resort to brute force or guns. Kou's group is attacked by the man with red dreads shortly after walking past some bodies with bomb traps (where Kougami FUCKING RAN to protect his wife shield Akane from one that set off... gouchisousama deshita 🙏). Kou gets trapped in a shoot out with other Peacebreakers while Frederica engages the red dreads guy but gets overpowered. The red dreads guy ends up holding Saiga hostage at knife point but Kou manages to shoot the dreads guy in the head (literally mere inches from Saiga-sensei, Kou that's insane. Saiga calls him out on it lol).
But the red dreads guys isnt down yet (?!?!) Or at least, he is suppose to be very dead but his body still moves and talks like he's possessed by something. Kou engages him again but Saiga gets slashed and starts to fall off a ledge of the atrium they're at. Akane runs to catch him but she can't pull him up. Saiga-sensei looks up to Akane and puts his faith in her, tells her smth along the lines of "justice and truth can be seen by those high above and he believes she is capable of reaching there". He lets himself slip out of her grasp and falls to his death, crashing into the fountain under the atrium.
I asked where was Saiga-sensei in S3 but I didnt want the answer to be he fucking DIES 😭😭😭
Akane runs down to the fountain as Kou still tries to handle the dreads guy. Eventually Frederica takes over as Kai and the Peacebreakers make their retreat now that their target expired and Kou chases after Kai. There's a Kougami vs Kai 1v1 in a holo room while Frederica, now with Gino, fights the possessed dreads guy (there's a lot of hand-to-hand combat sequences in this movie) also Sugo got shot but he's ok. Kai manages to escape from Kougami, but not before monologuing at him another excerpt from a book and leaving Kou a dagger with a tassle stuck in his shoulder. Gino punches a hole through the dread guy's torso with his prosthetic arm just as the dreads guy sets off a grenade in suicide. Gino thankfully disconnects his prosthetic in time and jumps back to safety.
In the aftermath, Frederica finds out the DFA is missing bc of the Peacebreaker attack (he was initially observing their whole decoy plan from a surveillance room). Akane chews her out, but Shindou suddenly appears in Dejima and says he'll handle the clean up. Akane starts to get suspicious of Shindou at this point but there is nothing she can do since no one wanted Saiga-sensei to die. Kougami and Akane share an elevator ride where Akane's starting to cry over losing Saiga-sensei, and Kou gives her a pep talk of "keeping calm, she can cry after the case is over" (a callback to the pep talk he gave her after Yuki died by Makishima in S1 🥺).
Once Kou is back in his room, he thinks about the monologue Kai gave him and runs a search. The excerpt was from a book called the "Great Aso". He calls up Shion for the forensics result from the tassled dagger and she says the tassle was made of horse hair. He asks her to do a search of horses location restricted to Aso, Japan while the conversation moves to cognitive and scientific theory of body possession (makes sense given that Shion is a physician), and more specifically—possession of a body by a god?
By morning we get a scene of Shindou meeting with Arata, Kei, and Maiko in Dejima. If you've been paying attention to the names you'll realize Maiko is Prof Stronskaya's daughter. Shindou is there delivering the news of her death to the young'uns. On top of that, he mentions Kei's older brother—Akira—might be able to return for Kei and Maiko's wedding happening shortly after Lunar New Year. Shindou and Arata leave and stroll through Dejima as the immigrant residents prepare Lunar New Year festivities in the district.
There's a scene change to now watch the Peacebreaker side of things. We follow Kai as he walks through their secret base. He stops to observe Tonami speaking to Peacebreaker soldiers like a religious cult leader and it is revealed they kidnapped the DFA and are water torturing him. We follow Kai for a bit longer to his quarters where he struggles with body convulsions, takes some pills, then smash his reflection in the mirror (looking hot doing it). He gets a call from Tonami telling him to handle the DFA again as Tonami is now leaving to meet with their leader called The General.
Back to Akane's crew: Mika, Akane, Frederica have now found the Peacebreaker's secret base located in Aso, Kyushu thanks to Kougami's search. They request a raid with the use of traditional guns from Kasei who allows it. There's a really nice sequence of Kou and Gino partnered up being the vanguard of their raid. They get stuck in a gun fight against turret drones though and have to hide behind stone pillars until the drones are suddenly disabled. But by whom?
Surprise! It's Kai, who has extracted the DFA. Turns out Kai is an undercover agent for the DFA and Shindou, and his real name is ‼️ Akira Vasily Ignatov ‼️ Kei's brother!!!! Now it all makes sense—dropping the monologue and tassle dagger as clues.
Akira tells Kougami and Ginoza to restrain him and take him in before Tonami finds out about the base. DFA is recovered but needs medical attention, so Akane, Frederica, and Kou escort them both by heliplane back to Dejima while Akane leaves investigation of the Peacebreaker base to Gino. Aboard the plane, Akira reveals the details of the Stronskaya Papers: its actually a formula for a simulation using Sybil's Crime Coefficient concept to calculate society's likelihood of disagreement and unrest—a Conflict Coefficient. The Conflict Coefficient could be used to settle wars or elevate them which is why Tonami wants the papers. Akira reveals the data is stored in a chip implant in his brain, but also says there's a second implant in his brain from the Peacebreakers called "The Divider". The Divider can negate negative thoughts and emotions by sharing it to another entity, which is how they fake Crime Coefficients read by Dominators, and it's also how Tonami possesses a soldier's body.
When they reach Dejima, they're greeted by Shindou. Shindou thanks Akira saying it must have been hard on him. Akane requests to talk with Shindou, Frederica tends to DFA and Kou takes Akira in for his statement. Akira reveals he was the one that killed Prof Stronskaya to protect the mission (and it hurt him to do so now knowing their familial ties 😔) and that Tonami can possess members of the MOFA bc each MOFA agent already has a brain implant for translation, while Shindou explains why Akira was undercover in the first place. Akane questions Shindou on why everything he does seems to have no flaws, like things are perfectly laid out for him; he's about to answer when they're interrupted by Kougami's urgent call. Kou's and Akira's questioning was interrupted by Tonami possessing DFA who locked Frederica in the elevator and shot Kou in the leg. He's hijacked Akira's body and making a run for it, trying to escape with the Stronskaya data.
When Akane and Shindou catch up to the Tonami-possessed Akira, Akira tries to overcome the body possession and struggles pointing a gun at himself to suicide. He manages to shoot himself in the chest and chucks the gun at Shindou, pleading to be killed so Tonami can't get the Stronskaya data. Shindou obliges (but not before Akira asks him to look after Kei) and shoots Akira dead as Lunar New Year fireworks go off in the background and Akane and team watches on. Kasei arrives in Dejima to speak to Shindou.
We get to the interlude before Act 3 of the movie now. Akane visits Kougami in hospital bed recovering from the leg injury regretful that he couldnt prevent the loss of Akira. Akane reminds him that they're a team, and they'll get Tonami next time (🥺 again, it's a nice call back to S1). Kasei meets with Shindou in his car in the middle of Dejima's Lunar New Year festivities, where Shindou addresses Kasei as "Sybil System". They discuss the events and Shindou taking responsibility for it. Kasei leaves Shindou with "a parting gift" and exits the car. Not long after, Shindou calls Akane to meet him, still in the midst of festivities and explains Kei is getting married very soon and he requests for Akane that news of Akira's dead not made public til after the wedding. He then invites Akane to attend the wedding too.
Shindou and Akane arrive for the wedding where they're greeted by Arata. Arata walks Maiko down the aisle and Kei and Maiko are really cute at the altar. Shindou gives a speech at the reception (that really is more cryptically directed to Akane and Arata, I think 👀) then immediately disappears after the speech. Arata and Akane notice Shindou's gone and go searching. He's in his car, looking at a photo of him with his wife and a child Arata. The parting gift from Kasei is a gun. He shoots himself. Arata and Akane find him.
At the morgue, Arata, Kei and Maiko mourn Shindou. Arata, distressed, tries to get answers from Akane to make sense of the events but Akane doesnt know either. The joint investigation between MOFA and Division 1 is called off and Division 1 is ordered back to Tokyo. Akane meets with Kasei who shows her a video message from Tonami. The Peacebreakers have relocated to the northernmost islands (the Kumail Islands? Or smth, I forgot the name) of Japan declaring independence with The General as their leader. Apparently Sybil has conversed with this General of theirs and agreed on the terms, and wants Akane to deliver the Stronskaya Papers to Tonami (as a peace offering I guess?). Kasei basically tells Akane to shut up and go with it, Akane will be out of MWPSB soon anyway as Sybil will have her take Shindou's place as the new Director of Welfare.
Ofc, Akane's never gonna "just shut up and go with it" lol. She reviews the notes Saiga-sensei came up while profiling Tonami that concludes with "God?" and calls up Kougami asking him to join her in solving this case. He says he was going to go with her regardless if she asked (🥺). Frederica overhears Akane's call and she agrees too to "finish the job their boss failed to do".
So the team assembles at the office. The plan is for Kou, Frederica and Gino to arrive at the islands to take down as many Peacebreaker soldiers before Akane arrives via MWPSB heli as the decoy for Tonami with the Stronskaya Papers. Sugo takes care of the transportation issue, and Mika, Shion, Yayoi again work logistisical support. We learn that the Peacebreakers have a satellite in the stratosphere which is how they do jamming and control The Divider devices, so Sugo will fly a drone within its airspace after dropping Kou's team off for Hinakawa to hack it. Akane makes a point that they'll operate by MWPSB standards and by that will mean use of Dominators, and she's already arranged for Kou and Frederica as temporary users.
I really like her speech of "if we are going to enforce the law, we will do so as MWPSB detectives" 🥺 bc that brings me back to her learning what it means to be a detective in S1 from Kou and Masaoka.
Everyone divides into their assignments. Kou's team loads onto the boat Sugo has arranged with the JDF submarine. There's a snarky tsundere-Mika moment as she gives Gino a new Dominator she's had R&D work on. Akane sees Kougami & co. off, though not without Kou tell her to not do anything reckless as the decoy and she replies "I can't guarantee that.." / Kougami: "Oi. 😑" / "So make sure you get there (to me) quickly".
On the boat, Gino and Kou have a heart-to-heart finally with Gino asking again why Kougami's come back. He says he's trying to do the responsible thing and Gino think it's at least an improvement. They share the thought that they are the reason for Akane tying herself down to her job as an inspector, and want to protect her for it.
I really loved this part bc you can feel the friendship is still there between Gino and Kou, and although they now see each other in different roles with respect to Akane (metaphorically, Gino being a "shield" for her, and Kougami as her "sword"), the shared guilt and understanding of their motivation ever since end of S1 is there which is what makes the team so great.
Kougami & co. get to the islands, setup, and start infiltrating the Peacebreaker base. Sugo flies the drone to the satellite after but is met with laser defences trying to shoot it down. (There's a whole CGI sequence for this part and the jury's still out on whether I like it or not 😂). Akane arrives at the base where Tonami greets her. She says the Stronskaya Papers are now in her brain from Akira's implant and that she wants to meet the General before handing them over. It's revealed that the General is a medical AI (the Bifrost in S3) that was initially created to support latent criminal rehabilitation within the Sybil System, but the project was scrapped and later repurposed by the MOFA for the Peacebreakers. Essentially (for what I can interpret at least), the Peacebreakers were created to do the MOFA's overseas dirty work where the implant in their brain would transmit negative thoughts & emotion to the medical AI as a sinkhole for the soldiers to stay.. unburdened (is the best word I can describe? Somebody pls correct me if I understood this wrong lol). Tonami and fellows resented that, the hypocrisy of them being used like that, which prompted their defection and subsequently trying to claim the medical AI as their own system to elevate world conflict through the addition of the Stronskaya Paper's simulation algorithm with religious rhetoric. Tonami tried to added Prof Stronskaya's decapitated brain to The General in place of the papers, but it didnt work which is why he's still after them. Akane debates that AI systems like Sybil and The General cannot replace the will of humanity but Tonami will have none of that and shoots her in the thigh.
Outside, Kougami's team is fending off Peacebreakers while Sugo drone-piloting is trying to hold out long enough for Hinakawa to hack the satellite. They cut it very close with Hinakawa excitedly exclaiming when they're finally hacked in. (I am so proud of him this whole movie cuz there were small moments where Hinakawa openly voices his thoughts on the case and his hacking capabilities: "if the enemy is using this type of thing, then I should be able to hack it"... it's a mile growth from the meek enforcer we met in S2!!). Shion & Yayoi use the hacking to shut down the Dividers creating fake Crime Coefficients and to put the Dominators online for Kou, Gino, and Frederica. The next bit is a nice sequence of Kougami initializing the Dominator's start up UI with the PSYCHO-PASS theme playing (more callbacks to S1, god I missed these moments). Gino's new Dominator from Mika is apparently a multi-target lock on Dominator, and Frederica's gets a new railgun Dominator with a multi-shot Destroy Decomposer. Once they get mostly control of the battle, Gino shouts at Kougami to "get to Tsunemori!" (he actually says "Tsunemori ō mamoru!" in Japanese which made me keel over cuz that can be translated as "go protect Tsunemori" 🥹), and Kou bolts.
Things are looking alright until Shion, Yayoi & Hinakawa realize the satellite isnt stopping its motion and is actually on course to crash into the Peacebreaker base as a fail-safe for being hacked. At this point, Mika actually suddenly left the operations room to go to Kasei. She argues to Sybil that Akane is too valuable to let die, so Sybil pulls the strings to get the JDF to shoot down the satellite before it crashes into the base. (I do appreciate that for all her attitude, Mika does respect Akane and see the importance she has in her role. We see another moment of this later on too. This movie finally moved me from negative opinion of Mika to neutral lol). The debris from the shot down satellite fall onto the base where Gino & Frederica are fending off the last of the Peacebreakers and they take cover. We finally catch up with Akane and Tonami.
Akane's handcuffed by Tonami and bleeding from her leg profusely but she's still fighting back. She crawls far enough to reach her Dominator that has fallen on the ground and chucks it to the terminal that controls The General. Seems like she actually hid the Stronskaya data in her Dominator and the contact with the terminal updates The General's AI. Akane says she places faith in the system that The General's AI will choose to opposite outcome that Tonami wants, where the AI will choose reducing conflict with the peace Sybil brings to society. The AI does just that and assimilates itself once again with Sybil, updating itself to remove Tonami's influence within its system and shutting the base down. Tonami is ofc, livid at Akane's ideologies and shoots her again in the abdomen. She gets held at gunpoint with Tonami standing over her just as Kougami arrives. There's more debate between Tonami and Akane about the nature of using AI systems in society, with Kougami listening on, gun in hand (honestly his facial expression looks really unimpressed with what Tonami is saying during this part, I couldn't help but laugh LMAO). At the end of Tonami's spiel, Kougami shoots him in the head just when it looked like Tonami would shoot Akane again, and Kougami says that its true, he agrees with what Tonami is saying. Akane deflates saying she "promised she wouldnt let Kougami do that (kill/break the law) again" but Kougami explains that although he agreed with Tonami, he believes in Akane's sense of righteousness, and for that he also needs to be judged (by her and the laws upheld by their society with the Sybil system). He unlocks Akane's handcuffs (and there was someone that posted about him cuffing himself to Akane as they get up, symbolic of her arresting him, but I didnt catch that 😔) and bridal carries Akane out.
The case's aftermath is a recovered Akane meeting in Sybil's brain room. Gino and Sugo had gotten approvals to transfer from Division 1 to MOFA, while Kougami was placed in a cell as his punishment for breaking the law (I guess), but he's not there for long since Sybil deems him useful enough so he'll be approved to go back to MOFA soon. Sybil reveals the roles DFA and Shindou had with the case and that it will be buried with their deaths as Akane soon accepts her new position as Shindou's replacement. Sybil says Akane will walk the path of Atsushi Shindou as they've prescribed as Akane leaves the room (which didnt click to me until my second watching here that the reason there were never any flaws in Shindou's "moves" was bc Atsushi Shindou knew the truth about Sybil, considering that Arata is criminally asymptomatic. Shindou went along with everything he did with no flaws bc it was already arranged by Sybil.. in order to protect his son..). Shion, Yayoi, and Hinakawa comment that things will be different in Division 1 now that so many members have left, but now it's time to watch Akane's promotion ceremony broadcasted on live TV.
While the broadcast is happening, Kougami reads a letter from Akane in his cell. She writes about her thoughts on the case and tells him she now knows what she needs to do to question the nature of justice in their society, and its something that only she can do. Kougami realizes immediately what she intends and responds to that with a pained expression calling her an idiot (mirroring his letter to her in S1). At the ceremony, Akane dressed in uniform goes through the delegation, but when she's about to accept the promotion from Kasei, she pulls out a gun and shoots Kasei on stage with a blank expression. Mika, running security at the event points her Dominator at Akane where it reads her Crime Coefficient at 60. Akane leaves Mika with a bittersweet "please take care of Division 1" and Mika angrily says she cannot accept this. The news broadcasts that Akane committed a crime live on air in public but her Hue remained clear, bringing forth public questioning on the Dominator's judgement and that the dissolution of the legal system that was in dicussion at the beginning of the film is now halted. Akane is arrested and converses with Sybil in the MWPSB paddywagon, resolute in her decision. The film ends with Akane brought into her isolation cell where she can finally breakdown crying while Kougami leaves his cell promising to get Akane out.
👏👏👏 and that's it. Hopefully this will help anyone having trouble following the film (or aren't able to watch) bc I certainly missed a lot on first watch. Personally, I loved this film as a cumulation and celebration of the 10 years of this franchise. I have a few extra thoughts on how themes in this movie would fit with the rest of the franchise, but I actually haven't watched First Inspector yet and feel the need to rewatch S3 with a new perspective now. Hopefully enough people will get to see the film with international release now so maybe we'll get a S4. Prayer circles in the meantime I guess 😔🙏

Christmas Eve 1892, Feldcroft // Farmer Sebastian Sallow x Reader (part 10)
Part 10, full series found here
Word count: 2000
I saw flecks of what could've been lights
The ball had been lovely and not once had her date been disrespectful. Her decision to go with Lucan had been incredible as he made the evening fun and lighthearted. She even got to see one of his housemates in Sebastian’s year, who had been Professor Sharp's assistant, in the most awful dress robes she’d seen. The hilariously awful pink and frilly robes his aunt had forced Garreth into made the night hilarious, and she danced with the young man once just to get to see them up close, and thank him for the knowledge on their research project.
She also danced with Ominis, finding out he was shockingly an incredible dancer. They hadn’t spoken much since she’d been at Hogwarts due to his friendship with the boy she’d been avoiding but having a few songs to catch up with him had been wonderful. He asked about her family, remembering how her mother had tried to make Christmas the year of Anne’s curse as lighthearted as possible, and tell her how soft spoken her brother was at school. He also informed her that Anne had been wanting to write to her for a while but was concerned it would get back to Sebastian somehow. The twins had still not seen each other since the day in the tomb. Ominis did make it a point to thank her for helping his friend recover after the events in the catacomb and promised he had not been entangled with dark magic since, before he so kindly returned her to Lucan.
That night she also witnessed Ms. Morris sneaking away with Professor Sharp, so she decided to follow them down the corridor enough to cast a small bout of mistletoe above the pair before running off to rejoin Lucan. Having seen them both working so well together during her time at Hogwarts it seemed a shame to not try and help her professor out when it came to the handsome older man…
The one advantage of being at Hogwarts when the school break began was the fact she was very close to home in Feldcroft. Her brother had arranged to meet her outside the bridge leading down to lower Hogsfield on the first day of their Holiday to head home.
She shouldn’t have been surprised that Sebastian was there as well. Her brother had relentlessly tried to repair whatever has caused a wedge between them since he first realized there was a problem. Her brother, like all her siblings, truly adored Sebastian. After his comments at the dance she decided to let go of the anger and just try to slip back into somewhat of a normalcy, despite the way her heart still aches while looking at him.
That had been a few days ago, and since then she hadn’t seen much of Sebastian. Ever since his Uncle had died, he took over the entirety of maintaining the farm when he was back home, often having to travel on weekends to continue to maintain it, and employing a boy in a nearby hamlet to help out.
The distance had helped her attempt to heal her heart from his harsh words. She even went back through old letters and read them, stunned to find that he frequently had used words like “pretty” and “brilliant” in describing her. Paired with the look he gave her when she’d bumped into him, she remained utterly confused at why he’d said he wouldn’t consider courting her in the future. Regardless she pushed it aside, chalking it up to frustration with his housemate. He’d never given her other reasons to think he thought so lowly of her. Perhaps he truly just saw her as a younger sibling, and even though that fact stung, she wasn’t willing to give up the years of friendship on her hurt pride…
Regardless, she was surprised when she started to walk towards the Willow on Christmas Eve and saw Sebastian heading from that direction back towards the hamlet. As she got closer to him, unsure if they were speaking, he luckily took enough charge to walk towards her, stopping just shy of her.
“I was just coming to find you,” he said.
“Is that so?” She asked and he nodded, moving his head to gesture for her to follow him as he started walking back in the direction the willow was.
“I have a surprise” he said, holding out a hand for her to take with a slight grin working its way onto his face. Perhaps it was a good idea for her to let him be kind, so that they could move past this awkward period. Sighing she followed him but didn’t accept his hand right away.
Eventually they made it back to the tree where the depth of their friendship all began. Stepping up, Sebastian held the branches back like a curtain and stepped aside to let her go through first.
When she did, she was amazed to see that he had conjured enchanted candles as well as some instruments to play music quietly. He had done the best he could at recreating the great hall inside the canopy of her tree.
“Sebastian… what…?” She asked and he looked to her sheepishly before coming closer, once again asking for her hand and she finally relented, placing her hand into his outstretched palm. His hands were worn, most likely from his manual labor and holding his wand, but regardless her heart still skipped a beat when he held her delicate hand in his.
Sebastian used his light grip on her, to carefully and lightly pull her closer to him under the candlelight. Lifting their joined hands he pressed a small kiss to the back of her knuckles and she trembled immediately at the contact. He smiled seeing her seemingly so nervous but he brushed it off.
“I needed to apologize. Words cannot express the depth of how absolutely horrific my actions were that night in the great hall. I allowed my classmate’s jests, to undo the depths of such a beloved friendship and for that I can never truly make amends. I should never have made you feel less than perfection simply over my own concerns of my reputation being slandered by peers seeing me as some sort of creep or misgrant… I recognize that the companionship we have is not entirely normal, in both sex and age, perhaps not natural in the slightest of regards, but I truly do not care about the semantics of how people perceive a connection that even I can’t fully explain myself sometimes. To have treated you poorly on such an account is shameful.” He spoke his seemingly well rehearsed speech as she stood there, absorbing his words . She gave him the floor, allowing him to speak his mind without responding.
He stepped closer forcing her gaze upwards as he now towered so much taller over her. As he peered down at her, the look he had in his eyes the night of the ball worked its way back across his face as he continued.
“I do not expect forgiveness, and in many ways I am undeserving of it, but I couldn’t live with myself if I just accepted your silence on the matter and moved on feeling as horrible as I do.” He explained as he lifted a hand to push the hair off her face by tucking it behind her ear.
“Chou…” he said, his eyes imploring her to respond and she didn’t know what to say truly. She leaned into his palm, which continued to rest against the side of her face from where he tucked her hair. Taking in a deep breath she sought the warmth of him as he moved his thumb across her skin gently.
“I forgive you.” She said quietly without opening her eyes. She wasn’t given much opportunity to either because at her words the boy pulled her into his chest, quickly wrapping his arms around her. She could feel him breathing a sigh of relief against her hair as he rested his head against the top of hers.
“Oh Chou…” he said eventually and instead of responding she didn’t say anything, tightening her grip on him. She wasn’t ready to face him or allow his dark eyes the chance to study her reaction. Eventually he pulled away from her, prompting her to look at him.
“Dance with me? I meant to ask you to the ball with me, but we weren’t speaking at the time…” he asked and she allowed him to carefully sway them both in the beautiful space he’d made in attempts to make amends towards her for his unrighteous behavior.
“I did want to say that you looked beautiful that night, at the ball…” he told her, making her stomach do somersaults as she blushed, allowing him to lead. He wasn’t as good a dancer as his friend Ominis, but she still felt very comfortable with him regardless.
Sebastian Sallow had always been such a calming presence in her life, so it wasn’t a shock that to dance with him, in a place so sacred to the two of them, felt as if it was a very natural action. Looking up at him, she could see the way the candlelight danced off the small golden flecks in his otherwise dark eyes, warming them.
“Thank you… You looked handsome yourself… although, it’s still so strange seeing your hair so short and tamed” she expressed, almost missing his hair’s longer, unkempt nature.
“Ha, well I hope it doesn’t look awful…” he said trailing off. Internally he was thankful she was allowing humor back into their conversations.
“It doesn’t look bad, just different… I will always know you as the messy farm boy next door. Currently you look more like a worker at the Ministry.” she explained.
“What about an ambassador?” he asked curiously.
“Exactly!” she expressed and he thought for a moment.
“That’s good I suppose… I applied for a job working for the International Confederation of Wizards as a research scholar and ambassador examining dark magic artifacts and helping with their removal and safe preservation. I haven’t gotten an official offer yet, but Professor Weasley believes that I have a real shot working with international relations given my knowledge and expertise” Sebastian explained. She had never truly thought about the fact that soon he’d be a fully grown wizard, expected to have a job and fit into society, not a schoolboy or farm boy...
“That's.. That’s wonderful Sebastian. If you get the job, where will you be stationed?” she inquired.
“Mostly in London but I will be expected to travel to Paris frequently, given most of the archives for the European magical embassy is in France. At least, that’s what I was told by the man who interviewed me… ” he explained as he carefully lifted an arm so she could turn around underneath it as he held her hand.
“Wow… I am really impressed. That sounds very important, and official.” She thought of the sweet farm boy next door, going into work every day with pressed suits instead of his often messy attire. It was somehow hard to imagine, but she knew that Sebastian at his very core was a scholar, and a charismatic one at that, so the job sounded like a wonderful fit for someone with his skill set and ambitions.
“I wanted to follow in my parent's footsteps but I didn’t think I would make a good professor… this seemed like a good alternative” he said, seemingly unsure.
“I am positive you’ll be amazing at it” she reassured him as they continued to move slowly under the tree.
“Professor Sharp was very impressed with your research project. I heard he plans to take it to the ministry for certification with your professor, the pretty woman, what was her name again?” he asked her and she smiled.
“Ms. Morris? She’s my favorite professor. It was successfully working when we left for the holidays so I suppose that makes sense they would present the findings to the ministry.” She felt giddy knowing something she so closely worked with would possibly become a healing potion for the masses.
“That’s what Professor Sharp was saying when I went to him for a recommendation. He seemed very delighted by its progress, as did Professor Weasley and the headmaster. You should be proud.” Sebastian said, eyes looking down at her in amazement.
“I hardly did much beyond what was asked of me…” she said bashfully as he once again spun her around slowly before returning a hand to her waist.
“Just promise you won’t forget me when you become a world famous potioneer” he explained with a laugh.
“I am not sure what I wish to do with my life, but no matter what it is, I can assure that it would be very difficult to forget you, Sebastian Sallow” she promised as she laughed.
“Good. Well then, might I look forward to seeing you in France sometime?” he asked her as he bowed at the conclusion of their dance.
“I believe if that is something you wish, there might be a way to make that happen” she said curtsying in return.
“Of course, I couldn’t possibly be going to my little cabbage’s home country and not make the time to see her on the rare occasion” he said with a chuckle and for the first time in over a month she felt those butterflies return as his lighthearted laughter filled the air.

The Lord of the Underworld And His Lady Of Spring Part 2
In this continuation of ‘The Lord Of The Underworld And His Lady Of Spring,’ a part of me and @princess-of-pearls-and-stars HPHM x Twisted Wonderland AU, the guys and Asteria all come together in the Headmage’s office only to make more discoveries, but still no answers on how to resolve the issues of the invaders. As always, Helena belongs to me and Asteria belongs to @princess-of-pearls-and-stars
Everyone who seemed to be coming finished with Malleus and Lilia teleporting into the Headmage’s office. Asteria had to note Fae magic was quite interesting and they seemed to perform these teleportations just like apparations, albeit with much less stress.
“I hope we didn’t keep you waiting.” Malleus apologized.
“Malleus! Lilia!” Kalim cheered, “You made it!”
“Hmm…” Lilia mumbled to himself in a barely audible tone, “Seems like I was correct about who was abducted for the most part.”
For the most part!? Asteria thought to herself. What was that supposed to mean? She knew Malleus and Lilia were full of secrets yet some bothered and caused more speculation than others.
Trey cleared his throat, “I was just baking some cookies in the dorm when I got word that Riddle had been kidnapped. Then I heard Ace and Deuce were injured and went straight to the infirmary. It was all so sudden it’s hard to wrap my head around it.”
“The stables where Riddle was taken is like a war zone.” Cater added. “Even the grass was burnt to a crisp. What in the world is going on?”
“That’s what I want to know!” Ruggie exclaimed. “Leona surrendered unconditionally, yeah I know, Leona of all people. Then he said ‘Ruggie, you’re in charge of Savanaclaw until I get back, Then again, I can’t be sure I’ll come back at all…’ He was dead serious too!”
“As we understand it.” Jade began smoothly, “Azul was taken during a club meeting.”
“The board game club guys say he left with them peacefully.” Floyd continued for his brother. “And Firefly Squid and Lil’ Clione went along too. I don’t know though, it doesn’t sound like Azul.”
“Asteria’s group and I were originally with Vil and Jamil back at Ramshackle.” Kalim revealed what Asteria knew all too well.
Rook elaborated further, “We tried to fight the intruders with magic, but it had no effect on them. They took Vil and Jamil, along with Grim and Helena.”
Jade pondered for a moment, “There must be a reason then that Leona and Azul didn’t fight back.”
“Yeah…” Ruggie realized, “Now that I think about it, Leona seemed to know what their deal was…”
“…hm” was the only audible sound that escaped Malleus’ lips before more words were spoken at long last, glancing at Lilia. “Kingscholar is from an old royal house. It would stand to reason he has heard of them…”
Asteria raised an eyebrow, “What are you talking about?”
~~~
“I’ll field that question.” Asteria heard the familiar voice of Professor Trein as he entered the room.
“Oh hello Trein.” Lilia spoke casually at the somewhat unexpected visitor, “Where is the headmage?”
“Styx took him into custody as well.” Professor Trein enlightened them. “I’m in charge while he is away.”
“Maybe it’s good the Headmage is gone.” Asteria muttered to herself, “Perhaps we can actually get answers.”
“Hold up what’s Styx?” Floyd asked the Professor with a puzzled look.
Professor Trein folded his arms, “An organization that operates independently of any nation or government. It is an arcane institute that conducts research on blot. They have done so for many years.” A revelation that brought shock to nearly everyone, except the Diasomnia Housewarden and Vice Housewarden.
“They study blot?” Jade broke the silence that was formed.
“I get it now…” Floyd added.
“Get what?” Kalim raised an eyebrow.
“Think about who they took.” Jade pointed out.
“It was Riddle, Leona, Azul, and Jamil.” Cater reminded the group, “So they abducted Jamil, who is a Vice Housewarden, and left Kalim alone. But they didn’t take Rook who is also a Vice Housewarden. So they aren’t targeting just Housewardens or just Vice Housewardens.”
“It’s people who’ve overblotted!” Kalim exclaimed.
“Wait a few questions, one when did Vil overblot!?” Ruggie looked at Rook and Kalim and only received silent nods in response. “And two that doesn’t explain why they targeting Grim and Helena.”
“Nor the fact that Riddle and the others received proper medical treatment.” Trey pointed out. “They have all made a complete recovery. Why would this come up now?”
“Hmm…” Malleus pondered, “There is someone who probably knows their reasons, the Watchman of the Island of Woe.”
“The what?” Asteria was still just as confused as she was before.
“Ah” Rook seemed to have more knowledge of the subject than she did, “I’ve seen mention of them here and there in old history books. Are you acquainted with this dreadful isle and its Watchman, Roi des Dragons?”
Malleus had a confused look on his face, “Are you that clueless Hunt? You are acquainted with him as well.”
“I am?” Rook seemed to regain confusion.
“And not just Rook.” Lilia reminded Malleus, “We all are acquainted with him to some extent at the very least.”
Rook folded his arms, “Are you suggesting what I think you are that Idia is this so called Watchman?”
“Well it’s more of a family title.” Malleus explained, “I believe the current head is…Aidne Shroud?” Looking over at Lilia for confirmation.
Lilia shook is head, “No, she passed away, now it is Aidne’s son, Idia’s father.”
“Human generations pass by so quickly.” Malleus quietly realized.
“True but Styx is a rather recent development.” Lilia reminded him. “Perhaps only a century or so?”
“Wait slow down.” Ruggie pleaded, “I am still confused. Leona mentioned Idia’s family is apart of some megacorp but that’s just a cover for the whole Styx and Watchman of Island of Woe thing!?”
~~~
“While the Watchman has become sort of an urban legend now.” Lilia explained. “You see back in the old days, when mages were called witches and wizards, they were feared across the land. People believed the Island of Woe would punish anyone who abandoned their principles and went mad with power.”
Malleus continued, “One of my family’s history books even claims that the group is so ancient they date back to the age of the Gods. Back then, the relationship between magic and blot wasn’t realized. Instead, people believed, overblots were disasters that occurred without warning. The Jupiter Family sealed those disasters away on the Island of Woe to bring peace. And the Watchman is in place to protect the land from those disasters plaguing everyone once more. The first was one of the Shroud family’s ancestors.”
“Sounds more like a myth than history.” Cater remarked.
Lilia picked up where Malleus left off, “Mind you, humans never stopped researching magic, eager students that they were. Time marched on and eventually magic became safe to practice, with witches and wizards becoming known as mages. In the present, mage licenses are international and are globally recognized for the betterment they bring society. And there have been many laws and acts to help with the necessary discipline and overtime the Watchman began to fade from the history books. But regardless the group continued their research on the disasters, and that is what Styx is.”
“I see.” Professor Trein continued, “We were aware that Idia was the son of the Shroud family. But this is the first I have heard of a connection between his family and Styx. I haven’t even seen any of this discussed and I have read just about every book and work on magical history.”
“Ah but you see you are limited to the texts that survive among humankind.” Lilia pointed out. “Humans and Fae stopped intermingling long ago, and not every truth is written down.”
Trein cleared his throat, “This makes me wonder if the headmage was aware of any of this. And if he was does that mean he was unable to work with the Shroud family to prevent this?”
Malleus only shrugged, “Who can say really. Even if he had known he wouldn’t have been able to stop them.”
“So does that enlighten anyone about the plan they have for the ones who were abducted.” Trey wondered out loud.
Jade spoke strangely casually, “If they are lucky they will only be examined. If they are unlucky they will become test subjects. And if they are REALLY UNLUCKY they-“
“Let’s not finish that sentence.” Kalim requested with a freaked out look.
“But those goons rolled up and blasted half of campus.” Floyd reminded everyone, “There are ton’s of witnesses right? At least someone had to have gotten them on video. Doesn’t seem very sneaky or secretive to me.”
“Perhaps they have a reliable way of clearing the mess they make up?” Jade suggested.
Professor Trein sighed, “Look, we don’t know where the Island of Woe is which means we can’t pursue those who were abducted. I want all of you to return to your dorms and do a roll call, check for any injured students and report back to me.”
“Yes sir!” The remaining housewardens and vice housewardens said in unison except for Rook who had an ever growing scowl on his face.
~~
Around the same time as it would turn out, those who were captured would arrive at the mysterious Island of Woe. More specifically, Styx’s headquarters. The four housewardens and vice housewarden looked at their surroundings, yet soon enough, they spotted a familiar face with hair made of fiery blue flames.
“Uhh hey everyone, welcome to the dark and gloomy Island of Woe.” Idia awkwardly greeted them, “And Styx headquarters.”
“It’s you…” Vil breathed furiously.
“Yep Idia Shroud acting director of Styx.” He added as he was joined by Ortho Shroud, Helena Othonos, and one of the intruders from earlier.
“How did Helena get here before us.” Leona grunted, “Must have gotten special treatment.”
“That’s the only thing that comes to your minds?” Idia raised an eyebrow, “No ‘Say What!!!’ Or ‘No Way!!!’”
Azul sighed, “I’m so shocked I’m actually calm.”
“Granted we already assumed there was some connection.” Vil pointed out. “But you’re the acting director? That’s not some tangential link!”
“Less Chit Chat more answers Radish Sprout.” Leona glared at Idia, “Why did you bring us here and I can’t believe I am saying this, but why does Helena act and look more like a robot with those new glasses and uniform of hers than Ortho? You did jam us in cargo and didn’t bother even giving us an economy seat.”
“Yikes those are some scary fangs.” Idia jumped as Leona growled. “Just cool your jets and this will all be over and we can have a good time.”
Jamil was simply furious, “You attack our school and abduct us. And clearly have done something to Helena as she hasn’t even said a word of recognition. And you still want us to ‘cool our jets’ you are lucky her sister isn’t here or you would already be dead as a doornail.”
“Do you want to lose your head!?” Riddle exclaimed.
The previous intruder starts speaking in a robotic tone, “Detecting a buildup of magic in Subject A. Readying stun-“
“Woah woah!” Idia called out, “Pause that.” He then looked over at the others, “And Helena’s perfectly fine since unlike you all she hasn’t forgotten one itty bitty detail that’s very crucial.
“Huh?” The boys exclaimed in unison, equally confused.
Idia grinned deviously, “Where are you again? And who am I again? I’m the BOSS” words that seemed to frighten the five guys. “Don’t hurt us we won’t hurt you. It’s as simple as that.”
“Injury will decrease by 57% as long as you follow my brother’s instructions.” Ortho gleefully predicted.
“Very well.” Vil sighed, “There aren’t any better options regardless. I’ll comply and behave.” After a bit of silence, Vil’s tone turned more assertive, “Well? Are forcibly detaining us, I trust you at least have the decency to serve us some tea? Surely your girlfriend isn’t the only one who will be treated like a normal person.”
Idia mumbled, “The way you’re acting doesn’t remotely suggest compliance or good behavior… but whatever. Come on everybody follow me.” He then turned to Helena, “Would you mind preparing the tea?”
“Not at all.” Helena mindlessly smiled.

“ first true friend ” .
why not chloe?
shouldn’t it be horace?
why, out of the people goh met, was ash considered his first friend?
ok, ok, let’s bring it back to jn001. let’s have a little talk, yeah.
goh and chloe attended professor oak’s pokémon camp together when they were six years old, and seemed to be childhood friends. goh was interested in research and learning about pokémon, chloe’s dad ─ professor cerise’s ─ job.
chloe decided to deal with goh, knowing he was just some lonely kid who had a hard time talking to anybody else. they didn’t exactly become friends, more like acquaintances, they were friendly to each other because they could be.
during jn001, we get to see goh’s personality for the first time; overconfident, shy, gets riled up and reckless easily. being alone for what was basically his entire childhood up to that point, he didn’t understand how people felt. about him. about anything, really. chloe seemed to be more of his guide into the world, even if she got annoyed with the way he acted easily.
goh keeps talking about all the pokémon they see at the camp, even correcting professor oak on his statement that every pokémon evolves. even if the other kids were impressed, chloe wasn’t. she knew goh just acted like this, and felt he may have been rude to professor oak for saying everything he knew.
both chloe and goh seeing mew was the climax of the episode, and though focused on mew, we learned a lot about them. goh didn’t want any friends, even if chloe said the reason he had none was because of how he acted. they didn’t know each other, they didn’t really know how they acted.
seeing mew together made them know about each other a bit more, it strengthened their bond the littlest bit. they weren’t exactly ‘friends’ because they didn’t want to be. they hung out, but kept most of their lives from each other because they didn’t need to be close. they didn’t seem to want to.
goh didn’t seem to want chloe ( or anybody ) to really be considered his friend, chloe didn’t seem to wanna keep dealing with goh. they were friendly. but not ‘true friends’. not until after ash.
now, let’s skip forward a bit. 31 episodes, but just about a year in goh’s timeline. in jn032, we learn about goh’s previous vacation to johto, where he met tokio in ilex forest. i’ve said his dub name enough times in this post.
the two were instantly friendly with each other, unlike how goh acted around chloe. tokio talked about his interest in meeting celebi, and goh impressed him with talking about how he got to see mew. they both have an interest in research, as well as mythical pokémon, and got along easily.
tokio is calmer and kinder, bringing out those traits in goh as well. even if goh seemed to talk a lot at the pokémon camp, he showed a different, more natural side of himself to tokio. they’re very similar, more similar than goh and chloe were, and thus, became friends easier. yeah, friends.
the two were friendly because of how similar they were, which made their bond strong even during their first time meeting. they both went searching for the ilex forest shrine during the episode, and had fun during it. they made new friends that day in each other, and promised to meet up again the next day when they realized they should leave the forest due to the dark.
but then they didn’t meet up the next day. tokio ended up with a fever, something he couldn’t tell goh about, which made goh think tokio just . . didn’t want to come back the next day. didn’t want to talk to him.
it wasn’t the first time we saw goh’s trust issues, and not the first time he declared someone as ‘not his friend’ because of it either. but it was the first time we saw it in goh’s timeline, the first time he felt betrayed. the next time he reconsidered a friendship with somebody was in jn003, he still didn’t know who to trust.
goh and tokio didn’t re-connect and talk about the misunderstanding until three years later, the entire three years making goh believe that tokio wasn’t his true friend. he didn’t want to consider tokio a ‘true friend’, not until after he met ash.
jn002 and jn003 were the first times ash and goh interacted. in the 2nd episode, they didn’t really have a ‘friendship moment’ yet, well, other than their ride across the city on lugia’s back. they already seemed so in sync with each other, as if they had the exact same feelings during the lugia ride.
goh accepted ash as his friend, something he’d tried to do multiple times before and only did once. at the moment, he just felt like ash wouldn’t betray him. he knew fate pulled them together, and he decided to trust fate this time.
delia told goh to look after ash for her, and goh knew he could. he didn’t know exactly what he was feeling, but he knew this was a new beginning, his relationship with ash would be something he hadn’t felt before.
jn003 really felt like goh and ash’s first episode together, though. ash and goh recieved their first missions as research fellows, and decided to investigate it. goh learned a lot about ash, how he cares about how a pokémon feels, and will trust anyone or anything the minute he knows he can.
goh was already re-thinking his friendship, realizing how different they really were. he knew how that made chloe feel almost annoyed with him, and already expected the worst.
but goh didn’t know how ash was like, he seemed to barely even know how he himself was like. he didn’t know ash until he watched him protect the ivysaur, and he had the moment of realization. oh shit, this guy. he’s the one, the one who’ll stay by my side.
he realized ash trusted the ivysaur just like he trusted goh. they were instant friends because they trusted each other instantly. he decided to keep trusting ash, one of the best decisions he made. because they became true friends, they helped each other grow.
ash helped goh understand how to make friends, it’s what helped him be better friends with chloe, and understand her. it’s what helped him gain a new ─ and old ─ friend when he reunited with horace.
they’re called ‘firstfriendshipping’ because goh initially needed ash’s help to turn his sorta-friendships into true friendships. and now that they’re apart, goh will always remember how ash helped him on his journey.
they were true friends. and ash happened to be goh’s first.
#firstfriendshipping#journeyshipping#satogou#goh pokemon#ash pokemon#chloe pokemon#tokio pokemon#i rlly love satogou. like. rlly.

[A video is embedded.]
[Twilight and Fluttershy stand at the lower floor exit from the aquarium building, looking out at the beach and Route 8. Twilight is wearing an orange scarf. She points ahead.]
There he is! With the orange hair.
Oh, wow. That's an impressive mane for a human.
I know, isn't it? Rarity would call it an abomination. Oh, I do hope she Falls in Kalos, if only to see what new styles she'd inflict on poor Lysandre.
[The two ponies step outside, and Lysandre of the orange mane comes over to greet them.]
Ah, hello again, young Miss Sparkle! Is this beach not simply beautiful?
It is! This is a nice meeting spot. Lys, this is my friend Fluttershy, who also Fell from my world. Fluttershy, this is Lysandre, the scientist I've been working with here. He's the leader of Team Flare.
Hello! Nice to meet you.
[Fluttershy turns to speak to Twilight alone.]
Team Flare is your research team? The guys who battled me in the cave?
Oh! Yes, sorry for the less than welcoming introduction back there. I asked for us not to be disturbed while we looked for fossils. If I'd known you were on your way I would have told them to keep an eye out and let you past.
The junior scientists do good work, and many are skilled pokemon handlers as well. If you have defeated some of them, Fluttershy, then you must be strong and clever yourself. I applaud your determination!
Thank you. They fought well, and I can't fault anyone for wanting a bit of privacy.
And humble too, I notice. She is as kind as you said, Twilight. Truly, you both are clearly chosen to help build a better future.
You read my report, right, Lys? Fluttershy, why don't you bring out Keseph?
[Fluttershy throws a pokeball, releasing Keseph the amaura onto the beach. Lysandre looks on with noticeable interest, almost blind to everything else.]
This is the resurrected pokemon? A true beauty, unburdened by all the weight of time, alive once more and yet untouched by the world's filth... Magnificent. This is a taste of eternal life! This is proof we are on the right track.
Listen, Fluttershy. It is vital that both our worlds become better places. Twilight and I, and the rest of Team Flare, work tirelessly to achieve this goal. Despite what an uphill battle it is. Would you join us, Fluttershy, and help look for and research the legendary Xerneas, pokemon god of life?
Um... I'm not much of a scientist, myself. That's really Twilight's area of expertise. I just work with and care for animals, or pokemon here. But I am doing the Gym Challenge, which will take me all around Kalos, so I can be on the lookout for this legendary pokemon or any information about it?
Wonderful! That is all I ask. Knowledge is power, after all.
Just... one question, if I may? Why... is it so important to find this particular pokemon? Why pursue eternal life?
I don't understand. It was my belief that you ponies, in particular above all others in this world, would see and know the necessity? That you would wish to save lives, and let beauty last forever? Given what happened...
Fluttershy... I've been kind of avoiding bringing this up, but I feel like it's time to clear up a few things. What exactly do you remember of our last day in Equestria? Of how we both got here, to this other world?
I don't know how we got here, but Professor Sycamore says all our friends are in this world somewhere? Or most, anyway?
Some more has come back to me by now, since finding you again... since that awful dream. I remember Tirek, and we were trapped, and you were fighting him… He destroyed the library and you kind of flipped out, and you went at him with more magic than I've ever even heard of anypony having. Both of you absolutely tearing up the land around you, punching holes in the mountains… I don't remember how it ended.
It ended in a draw. We could have kept going like that forever, until there was nothing left of Equestria to save from him. Instead, we made a deal… which he immediately broke.
[Twilight looks away, unable to meet Fluttershy's eyes any longer. A light wind across the beach ruffles her mane and hides her face further, and at the edge of the screen some tufts of orange fur from the cameramon also briefly come into view.]
A deal? For what?
There's no good way to say this, Fluttershy. I'm sorry. We got stabbed in the backs by a dishonorable tyrant. All six of us, and even Discord, though he's not here so far as I've heard – all of us, as far as Equestria is concerned, are extremely dead.
And so is everypony else too, probably, because I failed you all.
[Fluttershy looks like she's just been slapped.]
What?!
We all died, and we died so violently that our souls Fell out of the world. We landed here. But here, with Team Flare, we're doing research, uncovering the secrets of eternal life! The ability to overcome even time itself, and set things back to how they should be, forever!
Imagine it, Fluttershy. We can go back. We can return to Equestria, immortal, with the powers of all the pokemon we meet here by our sides, and Tirek will never know what hit him.
[Twilight stomps one hoof on the sand as she says these last few words. Fluttershy takes half a step back.]
…Twilight, you're kind of scaring me a little.
Also, didn't he absorb magic from anything you send at him and then copy it?
Yes, which is why we need two things: one, surprise, and two, to kill him in one shot.
Twilight…? This doesn't sound like you…
I know. I'm sorry, Fluttershy. Betrayal and brutal murder have a way of changing a pony. I'm not okay, and I don't think I can be until I know Tirek has been dealt with, and he won't ever be a threat to anypony again.
I am angry, Fluttershy. Aren't you?
I... I don't think I know, anymore.
The magic of friendship is strong. It can solve many problems, and it should always, always, be tried first. But the hardest lesson I've had to learn yet is that it cannot solve every problem. It took literally dying to learn that one. Sometimes, friendship alone is not enough, and as awful as it is, someone may leave you no other option but force.
[Lysandre kneels in front of Fluttershy, bringing the two of them nearer to the same eye level. Fluttershy looks at him, with the beginnings of tears visible in her eyes.]
If you can know the magnitude of the evil done to you and not think of revenge, then that is a depth of virtue far beyond what she or I can manage. You remind me of a younger self, in fact. I would not wish to damage that great kindness within you.
Come, let none of us trouble our minds further with talk of ugliness, decay, and death.
[Lysandre stands and turns away, toward the water, and he beckons for both the ponies to come stand at his side. Together, everyone looks out over the white sand and the ocean beyond.]
With Xerneas's power, there will be no such horrors in the world to come. Only life as it should be, without conflict, without pain... only peace, forever.
Peace and harmony across both our worlds. It won't be easy, spreading friendship never is... but we can do this.
[Fluttershy nods, still staring out over the water.]
[Video ends.]

*slides over a few coins* Do you have any Friede angst
-shoves the coins into my pocket- Yeah sure I gotcha. Have this that's totally not me self projecting based on HZ018.
Series: Pokemon Horizons
Characters: Professor Friede
--
“What, you're quitting? Why? You're one of the best here!”
“Hey man, I heard you were quitting. You think that's the right call?”
“While I don't really get why you're quitting, I wish you luck for your future endeavors Friede.”
Future endeavors? To be completely honest, Friede didn't have anything lined up. He gave easy answers and pleasant smiles to anyone that asked, slipping out lies as easy as breathing. Gave replies that appeased their hidden curiosity because one of the best researchers in the company quit such a good paying job? Surely it was for something bigger and grander.
All Friede knew was that had he stayed at his job any longer, he'd break.
He didn't know when it started to become wrong. Wasn't this what he wanted to become? Friede recalled a distant memory of his younger years when life felt a lot simpler. Heading to Professor Oak’s laboratory to get his first starter, being one of many children that day who discovered the wonders of Pokemon. Listening in on the Professor’s explanation sowed the seeds that'd later bloom into a burning want to become like his childhood hero.
Friede poured his all into that dream. Regardless of how he struggled with schoolwork, in making friends and getting good grades, he never gave up. Miss Lucca and her kind encouragement further pushed him to make it a reality. He wanted to be the student that proudly told his favorite teacher of his successes.
Friede worked hard for many years, pouring blood, sweat and tears into his education. From earning his bachelor's degree all the way to a PhD, he never gave up even during his lowest lows. It would be all worth it at the end, he told himself.
And he believed it initially. When he got hired to work at a relatively large company, Friede couldn't be happier. At last he could put his knowledge into practice!
(Where did it go wrong?)
He observed Pokemon, taking note of their behavior and analyzed it.
(When did it go wrong?)
Crunched the numbers inside a lab, hunched over his desk and typing away at the computer to store data.
(How did it go wrong?)
Repeating this process with each new project. Pulling all nighters to meet deadlines.
(Why did it go wrong?)
Finding himself becoming less motivated to do research work but forced himself because it was his job. It was what he spent many years achieving.
(What went wrong?)
This was what he wanted to do right? Friede wanted to become a professor so he could learn everything there was about Pokemon? Wasn't this job giving him that opportunity? To study Pokemon and analyze all that data within a lab with its sterilized walls and cold equipment and blank excel sheets and–
(Was… was he wrong? All this time was he…)
Friede had to quit. If he stayed any longer, forced himself to do work that chipped away at his genuine passion for research, he feared losing a fundamental piece of himself to… this. Whatever this was.
(This was burnout. This was discovering that he invested years of his life into something that might not be worth it).
They held a little farewell party for him, wishing him luck over a few rounds of drinks. Friede only drank enough to not be questioned. He didn't want to get drunk, despite how appealing it is to just forget about this for even a little while. Last thing he wanted for his lips to become loose, spilling things he kept hidden.
After that, Friede just… didn't do anything. His internal body clock still kicked him awake for his usual shift, often taking a few seconds to realise that he didn't have work to go to anymore. Instead of making the most out of his day, Friede simply laid back down, staring at the ceiling until he remembered to feed Charizard.
Friede didn't consider what he wanted to do beyond achieving his goal. He thought this was what he'd be doing for the rest of his life. What a foolish notion. Couldn't even last a year before he quit.
As much as he wanted to lie in bed all day, that too got old after a week or so. Friede opted to head out for his usual grocery shop with Charizard. His partner didn't feel like flying, so they simply walked to the market. Not like he could force a Fire-type whose flames were dulled. Like Pokemon like Trainer, huh?
At least during that trip, he came across Ludlow. An unexpected friend he made during his studying years. If he wanted to get away for awhile, away from all the books and expectations and looming deadlines, Friede could go to Ludlow. They'd go out to sea from Porto Marinada to fish all day, and he'd return with a clearer head, as if the sea had cleansed away the gunk weighing him down.
Friede didn't have to say anything. Ludlow took one look at him (with his disheveled hair, unkempt close and dead eyes) before inviting him out to a fishing trip.
A part of him didn't want to. He simply wanted to return back to his apartment and stare at the ceiling, fear of an unknown future paralyzing him. But this was Ludlow, a kind man who didn't have an obligation to spend time with him yet he chose to.
Friede took him up on that offer. Getting fresh air while the pair fished all day made him feel the most alive since he quit. Ludlow continued to invite him on fishing trips, trying his best to have him be more adventurous.
He often declined, giving non committal answers that Ludlow thankfully never pushed. Why should he put effort into something that'd likely not be worth it? Once was enough.
(Deep down, Friede knew those were simply excuses. He simply feared developing a passion that'd fizzle out and die when he realised it wasn't actually for him).
This went on for weeks until one day, Friede received a call from Miss Lucca. She wanted to meet up, and he respected her enough to clean up some before they met at the Treasure Eatery. It was somewhat bittersweet to see her again; she clearly had a future to look forward to, what with her having a child to raise.
Friede kept his answers vague to the somewhat probing questions. Miss Lucca always had the uncanny ability to see him through all the layers he put up. She had something to show him tomorrow, requiring him to wake up pretty early.
He accepted considering he had nothing better to do. What Friede ended up seeing was a Pikachu. He couldn't help but feel disappointed; he knew all that was documented about the species. Why did she want him to see this one in particular?
When Friede saw this small creature soar as high as the clouds, a spark lit up in his heart. For the first time in a long while, he felt excitement.
He missed this feeling, the surge of passion thought lost. Friede grasped onto it with all his might and was rewarded to a sight that showed him there were new horizons for him to explore. He just needed to take the first step again.
Friede did it once.
He could do it again.

Morty's parents were killed as a child, and the boy was placed in the care of Aunt Beth Parker and her husband, Paul Parker. Little Morty grew up with them, smart and purposeful in science. Although he was intelligent, he was scorned and teased at school due to his strange fascination with physics and other subjects in general. Morty Parker was also in love with Mary Jessica, a girl who took pity on the guy a little and tried all the time to prevent Parker's run-ins with hooligans. But the trouble is, the girl of his dreams already had a boyfriend! One big failure.
Morty devoted himself almost entirely to science (apart from a part-time job as a photographer, he completely covered the student life of this beautiful thing). His biology teacher, Dr. Squanchy Connors, was pleasantly surprised by Parker's determination and allowed him to oversee his scientific experiments to transform lizard genetics. Unfortunately, the same genetics killed Connors and created a monster out of him - a terrible red scaly, with a mangy tail. At the same time, Morty Parker himself suddenly became a superhero thanks to the experiments of the Professor: the spider was accidentally irradiated with radioactive waves in some Squanchy experiment and plunged its fangs into the boy's throat. This led first to the negative effects of the poison, such as dizziness and nausea, and the student immediately went home and went to bed. The next day, the boy was very surprised by his transformation: out of nowhere, he had an athletic physique, and his eyesight improved dramatically (the boy no longer needed glasses)! And the most interesting thing is that he could climb walls, shoot cobwebs from glands and regenerate. However, Morty only became Spider-Man after the death of Uncle Paul and his catchy line, "With great power comes great responsibility."
In his spare time, Parker did research and dug into the biography of one famous nuclear physicist, Rick Octavius. I wouldn't call it "stalking", it's just that Morty considers this person to be his idol..? He read every scientific article he created, watched every video related to scientists on his computer, and generally knew all the publicly available information about the professor. For Morty, Rick was like a breath of fresh air amid bullying classmates and life failures. He would definitely like to meet this noble scientist working for the benefit of mankind, but it was completely impossible. Although Morty once saved Octavius from some huge robot, but seeing your idol in the form of Spider-Man is not the same as seeing him in the form of an ordinary, unremarkable student. One day, Parker accidentally overheard Dr. Connors in a conversation with one person and found out that he and Rick were friends from a distance. Maybe this is a chance given by fate itself?
As for MJ (i.e. Mary-Jessica), she is an actress in her father's opera house. Her boyfriend Summer is the son of one of the greats - Jerry Osborne. The man has his own scientific corporation Ozcorp, which finances all the brilliant ideas of Rick Octavius (although Dr. Oct considers Jerry "a person far from the mind") and other scientists in general. Although this entrepreneur is not a very good father due to his dictatorial nature, he greatly appreciates Osborne Jr. And even Morty considers him a "second son" (of course, after the death of his uncle Paul Parker)! Therefore, he appoints good-natured meetings with the Parker family in his spare time. Summer and Morty used to be pretty good friends, but it's hard to tell now. Both of them loved Jessica, and one of them still achieved her, while the other was stuck in a muddy puddle. “Friendly” relations in this case are difficult to maintain. when Morty was celebrating his 18th birthday with Aunt Beth, Mary-Jessica and Summer, the latter nearly got into a fight with Parker. But he immediately came to his senses that they were, as it were, at a holiday, and in honor of his apology, he asked his father to allow Morty to Octavius, since the boy was buzzing Osborn Jr. about this with all his ears. . . Parker didn't know what surprised him more: Summer's raised voice at him or the long-awaited meeting with his idol.
In general, I kind of didn’t finish the story, but here I had to write about the Birdperson "Vulture".
What we have?
Morty Smith — Peter Parker
Beth Smith — Aunt May Parker
Paul — Uncle Ben Parker
Jessica — Mary Jane Watson
Jerry Smith — Norman Osborn
Summer Smith — Harry Osborne
Rick Sanchez — Otto Octavius
Birdperson — Vulture
Squanchy — Curt Connors
Daene Sanchez — Rosie Octavius
(Who is Paul? the man is on the right.)
