#like what are you running away from something? is it unberable for you to be alone with yourself so you have to be like

Literally cannot comprehend that some people just... go places.. I know someone who just got back from a 2 week vacation and then the day they came home they went out to eat at a restaurant (at a busy time mind you, like 7pm on a saturday night!!) and then went to a mall to shop and then woke up early for brunch the next day and were at a bar in the afternoon and so on and so on and it’s like... god don’t you get tired of being places? If I go grocery shopping for 20 minutes on monday and then have a doctor appointment on tuesday, I am SO tired of leaving the house that I want to do nothing for the next two weeks lol...  Doing multiple major tasks/trips in one day and ENJOYING it and SEEEKING IT OUT is utterly inconceivable to me..  we are different creatures entirely lol
#not even regarding how irresponsible it is to be constantly doing stuff during the pandemic and etc. etc. like EVEN before the pandemic#I felt this way exactly the same. I just do not understand the human compulsion to be Doing Things (tm). And it's not that I don't enjoy#SOME things#like very hyperspecific things in controlled environments scheduled 10 days ahead of time and intricately planned lmao#but like there is some stuff I enjoy so it's not like I just hate everything but it's just... ghghhhhhhhhhh#like what are you running away from something? is it unberable for you to be alone with yourself so you have to be like#constanly up and out and finding new sensory shit to throw yourself into or like???#I am legitimately not exaggerating comepltely 100% fine not leaving my house for months at a time (aside from going on walks to get excercis#e just around the block/still within the neightbohood and occasional necessary grocery trips to stock up on food obviiously)#I simply do not posess the impulse to go out to restaurants or bars or go to clubs and dance or go to parties or concerts#OR even travel like...?? idk I guess it's not terrible but in the past when I have traveled I've found that the only things#I could name that I enjoyed about the experience were like.. I like being on hotels because you get free breakfast sometimes and they have#TV and air conditioning and better beds than I do at home. I like people watching from my room windows. I like being in airports because#of the way they;re designed and I like to pearch somewhere and watch people and watch clouds and planes taking off.#I enjoy being on airplanes because the windows feel cold and you can look at clouds and sometimes have gingerale.#but I dont enjoy the traveling or going places itself. I'd rather be at home working on my hyper-specific interest hobbies lol#legit not joking at al if I won tickets to like an all expenses paid super luxury tropical getaway I would sell them and use the money to#buy craft supplies. I would get 10000x more personal fulfilment and joy being able to work on a new project or having the money to pay off#bills or buy better groceries or get an apartment with a better bathroom or something like that than I would having the one time#experience of like wow I looked at a cool beach and some sunsets and ate at restaurants a lot#And maybe the thing is like. I don't value experiences? I value resource security and pratical progress at things#and not in a like workaholic capitalist way but just in a like.. I value more what's going to make me happy in the LONG run than temporary#expeirences that are somehow supposed to mean something to me in the moment (yet I usually derive no pleasure or meaning from at all)#Like I would rather use money to invest in my niche hobbies or crafts or personal improvement or getting a more comfortable#bed or better shoes for my foot pain or etc. etc. than I would spending the money to go out to a resuarant or travel or etc.#ALSO again like.. in addition to it simply not seeming worth it because my brain rarely is able to conceptualize the value of those sorts of#experiences.. it's also just SO tiring to do things! Even a grocery store trip can be overwhelming with sensory stuff and social things#and etc. etc. and I just realize like.. all the things people have told me are Fun are not Fun for me. I grew up and realized you actually#have no obligation to do things. I found out you can spend your birthday at home alone eating a waffle and playing your favorite video game#and I have never went anywhere or done an activity on my bday since lmao.. 'Doing Things' is just hard for me to grasp still really lol

melted snowflake.
(coriolanus x plinth!reader)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary: coriolanus never thought he would fall into his own trap. his plan wasn't falling for you. no, it was the contrary, he was supposed to use you. but god, you were so perfect for him.
based on this ask!
c.w: snow being a bit of a jerk, manipulation, jealousy, plinth reader x coriolanus snow, snow being head over heels with you, fluff (?)
you were a district girl, of course. your parents made sure to take that out of your head, but you couldn't simply forget about everything you lived in the districts. you were a child, but it didn't mean you were dumb or blind not to caught up on the things surrounding you.
the first time you saw snow was when your father met panem's president and left you to play on the kindergarden with your brother, sejanus. of course, it didn't go as planned when you were pushed away by a random kid and he protected you and your brother.
of course, after that, he never talked to you guys. a snow is not supposed to talk nor look at poverty with kindness. that's what his grandma'am taught him.
with this being explained, neither him nor his grandma'am expected your family to get richer than the snows, but after his father's death it was only natural they would be poor.
"y/n?" he approached you, now at the academy. he was a beautiful young man, often obtained your attention because of how much praise he recoeved from teachers and others. even though you were rich now, of course you wouldn't fit in as well as he did. not when you and your brother disagreed with everything the capitol kids stood for. "i'm sorry to interrupt you, but the teacher assigned us to do our assignment together." it was a lie. you could tell right away.
but why not see where he'll go with this?
well, that's what you decided to do. every lie he told you made you want to slap him from how dumb he seemed to think you were.
everyday you would caught him staring at you, at your eyes. stealing glances, stealing everything he could from you. hearing your voice was turning out to be the best moments of his days. but you knew deep in your heart that he was taking you for stupid. you were a girl, smaller than him, more soft looking than him, and he thought it was adorable.
but snow, being a snow, had something other than that silly feelings in his body. plans that didn't go as planned when you slapped his face hard, the red print kf your hand on his white skin being visible.
"hey! what are you-?" you interrupted him.
"look, i allowed you to go as far as lie to me about everything, even what others had to say to me. but i will not allow you to say anything about feelings, snow. this isn't funny. this is sick, and twisted. to think you want to have whatever i want so much that you would go as far as say you love me makes me sick." you said, and he blinked his eyes quickly, dumbly looking at you.
"ah, c'mon. don't look at me like that. you really thought i would believe you when you said clemencia hated me? man, she doesn't even know my name!" you kept going, and he gasped a feel times, his hand touching the place you slapped. "stop coming after me."
and you were gone, just like that. everything snow had planned for you both had gone down the drain while you walked away from him.
and after that, he tried to talk to you. he truly did. but you were always so far away from him, and when you caught a glimpse of him walking your way, you would always exit whatever place you were entering.
"man, what you did to the plinth girl? she's running from you like the devil runs from a cross." festus said, watching you exit the library the moment he stood up from the desk they were in.
"i don't know," he said, but he knew what he did to you. he knew he was wrong. and god, the ache he felt on his chest when he saw you laughing at a joke some body made to you was unberable.
that's when he noticed it. that's when he noticed he liked you, more than he planned to. you were supposed to be his accessory, his pretty ornament on the shelf, used when needed to. but now? ah, you had him at your bare feet and you didn't even knew, and if you did, you didn't care.
it was his fault, of course. he didn’t need to tell you that clemencia hated your guts, or that festus was betting that he could fuck you till the end of the year when you said he was pretty, or anything before and after that.
and thinking of that, he had a white bouquet of roses on his hand, provided by his grandma'am when he said he needed to apologize to the prettiest girl he had ever seen. mentally rehearsing his apology and what he would say, he didn’t even notice when he was already at your door, nervously knocking.
you were rich. why was it you the one who answered the door? god, if you were his wife in a near future, you wouldn't even need to move your hands to eat a grape and-
slam!
you closed the door right when you saw the white bouquet on his hand and the ashamed face he had on.
"y/n!" he called you, knocking on the door and pressing the bell of your house multiple times. it was so loud, so irritating, that you opened the door again.
"god, what the hell do you want?!" you asked, angrily frowning at him.
"you," he said. "please, i'm sorry. i-i didn't took you for stupid- you're actually the smartest girl i've seen in the academy, and the prettiest too, and i'm so sorry for being a douchebag to you but i wasn't planning on-" he stopped talking, gulping down.
"planning on what? being a jerk? a liar? a manipulator? a-"
"on falling in love." he said.
"there he goes again." you said, rolling your eyes.
"y/n, i'm serious!"
"prove me." you said, crossing your arms. and he fell on his knees at your feet, placing the roses delicately on your ground. "i'm sorry. i think love is a weakness, i am not used to feeling it- nor any kind of affection towards others but- i can't stand the sight of you, the thought of you being with anyone that isn't me, please-"
ah, how cute. anyone who saw coriolanus at your feet right now would be surprised, his grandma'am would go nuts, saying that snow's are supposed to be on top and not on the bottom of some district girl's feet. but he didn’t mind. he needed to do it. if being on his knees was the only way to get back at you, fuck it. he would be.
"get up." you said, looking away. he obeyed you promptly, eyes looking at you with hope. "that's your last chance, coriolanus." he nodded, almost falling on his knees to kiss your feet.
well, within the span time of seven months, you both were dating. but it didn't change much, coriolanus was always, and i mean always ready to get on his knees for you. he was a sucker for you, even if he was all high and mighty with others, with you, he was a melted snowflake. and he was fine with it.

Punching Bag
Tumblr media
AN: guys proof read this for me, I'm too tired. FLUFF FINALLY MY LOVES.
Something about Dominik getting hurt never sat right with you, Of course, you expected it to happen and you didn't think much of it often. Lately, though Dominik had been getting thrown around all because the scriptwriters thought it was good for the plot. Truthfully you were starting to get frustrated because out of everyone in the Judgment Day, Dominik is the only one getting the bad end of the stick.
Dominik was holding his side when walking into the dressing room, making your eyes twitch in anger and irritation. You stand up and meet him in the middle of the room, lifting up the side of his shirt to see a large bruise forming on his side. "Shit babe, again?", you trace around the bruise as you process it. Your anger changed into worry when Dominik walked in. Don't get anything wrong here, the anger is still burning inside, but it's not Dominik's fault.
Dominik winces at you touching his bruise, making your eyes snap up to him. Like whiplash, your mood changes again back to anger. The rest of the Judgement Day is just watching; trying to see how far this will go. Your heart aches for Dominik, his bruising and constant pain resonating with you. You step back running your hands down your face; heat tingling at your fists. You take a few short breathes, but you soon realize that isn't enough to calm yourself down. You stride towards the door muttering to yourself, "This is fucking bullshit". You swing open the door and let it slam behind you.
The room is awkward. Everyone is trying to understand the anger and the context of everything that just happened. Dominik doesn't ponder on it, he's worried for you. He puts his shirt back into place and runs a hand through his hair, walking out of the door to find you. There isn't much Dominik can do to comfort you; other than rubbing your back and reassuring you he's okay... he's at a loss here. You know he's not okay, hell his side is black and blue and the rest of his body is recovering from last week.
The reassurance from Dom meant nothing to you. There is also nothing you can do right now, but everything in you begs to take a hit for him just once so he doesn't feel so much pain.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Today Rhea is going against Raquel at payback. The match has had some build up and the Judgement Day is looking forward to what is hopefully a win. Dominik was instructed to go out and "check on" Rhea in the middle of her match for dramatic effect. Which is fine because its all friendly and a way to show that Judgement Day is tight nit. You are already at ring side cheering Rhea on, and ridiculing Raquel because you didn't like her much either. Who knew today was the day that you want a match against her for contributing to Dominiks pain.
Dominik tumbles in, laying his front half on the ring reaching for Rhea in order to help her. Rhea pulls Dominik in not realizing what could've happen to him, Dominik slides into the ring but backs up almost immediately. Raquel has the upper hand here and was going to deliver a power slam onto Dominik. Youve studied the way Raquel fights and just based on her posture Dominik was in for it.
Maybe you arent in the right mind when you do it but you fling yourself off the floor sliding in front of Dominik and standing up in front of Raquel. She wastes no time putting you into the position with you thrown over her shoulder. You kick and trash as much as you can; knowing well and good your not prepared for the crash. Raquel holds onto the back of your head and flips you over, your back slamming onto the ring along with the rest of your body.
The stinging feels so unberable, your roll away trying to touch your back... to sooth the pain that Dominik would've felt. You can practically feel your shoulderblades brusing on instinct, you went into that blind. Dominik goes into these things blind too, not knowing what is awaiting him. Sure it hurt physically, but you feel so much better knowing that it was you and not him. You push yourself to hang off the side of the ring, your head and a arm hanging off the side while you try and catch your breath. Dominik runs to the otherside of the ring where you lay winded struggling for clear breathes.
His hands not so stubly shake as he holds your face, his eyes glide over your back and your painful look. He whispers to you not trying to get the attention of the cameras, "Baby, Im so sorry", he feels the tears of shame gather in his eyes and he tries to breathe through it. His voice trembles some, "Im so sorry". You pat one of his hands, smiling the best you can at him for now. You manage to slide of the ring to stand next to Dominik but he doesn't let that last for long. His arm snakes around your waist as he holds you up. His eyes urging Rhea to hurry up.
Its some kind of miricale but Rhea finishes up the match, showing off her belt and then coming to hold you up as well. Rhea still shoots daggers at Raquel and then looks back at you so Raquel knows she's still in for it. You all move to the infirmary, Dominik deadly silent, only the clicks of shoes can be heard in the infirmary. Dominik and Rhea sit you down, Rhea looks at Dominik and him and her share some kind of look. Rhea nods and walks out.
Dominik eyebrows are furrowed in and his eyes are sad when he looks at you, Dominik pulls up a chair in front you. He takes both your hands into his and he lays his head on them for a moment to collect his thoughts. He lifts his head up, rubbing the back of your hands with his thumbs. "Dont ever do that again. Please I don't want you hurt" he pleads. You shoot back instantly, "And I don't want you hurt", you say trying to justify your reasoning behind this.
Dominik shakes his head no, grimacing with guilt... you got hurt for him. He kisses the backs of your hands, his eyes squeezing shut for a second before he talks, "Please" it comes out in a whisper. A plead. Your eyes soften and you see how hard he is taking this. He moves closer to you, looking at you with expectation, "Baby, Please?" it comes out soft like its his last resort. Your lips pull to the side but you nod none the less.
"Let's talk to our boss. They will have to understand you can't be the punching bag Dom", you say with a mildly stern voice. Unegotiable. Dominik opens his mouth to say something like, 'it's okay' or 'there's no need'. "They will understand", you say every word defined with purpose, your eyes stuck on his. He nods holding your hands up to his face, "Okay". He says softer than ever, certain.

YAYYYYYYYYSSS I GET TO TLK ABOUT MY TEAM STAR/VIOLET AU
Tumblr media
OK in basic form, Arven is part of team star!
Starfall Street made it very obvious that many kids at Uva/Naranja (i will be saying Uva only from now on cause i have violet) were bullied, not only team star and penny. So the idea of resident sad boy Arven getting bullied wasn't too far of a reach. Many other ppl have been headcannoning this including me. (what i like projecting)
The break of the AU starts after team star is formed and Arven learns about Herba Mystica (sorta? i'll mkae my headcannoned timeline post later) Team Star has been formed and they make the run from Uva to actually set up the bases and recruit. Four to five months later once the bases are set up and there are a few recruits. Penny walks upon an Arven who just ran away from Ava for a bit, got yelled at by Miraidon, lost all his healing potions, and just having a bad day, having a breakdown.
What did they do? (leave jk)
Ask him to join Team Star!
I feel like Penny knew so many other people at Uva were being bullied or mistreated by the students and staff (the staff part might be projection but Clavel is kinda a shitty principal) but she couldn't bring everyone so they just brought five who would make a good team (she made friends!)
Arven accepts because he's curious and Penny drives a hard bargain (Cassiopiea was very convincing)
Another small team star headcannon i have is that the recruits are just randomly sent to different teams, they pick which one they go to and each team has a set of pros and cons. Like during this time Eri's team is very calm so is Atticus's while Ortega, Mela, and Giacomo's are pretty loud. And a bunch of sensory things and also personal intrests of the group in total y'know.
I think Giacomo and his whole team have gimmick of loving punk and rock music, and a headcannon of Arven liking that music as well gets him shoved in Segin Squad.
At this moment Segin Squad is classified as not safe for people with auditory sensory issues. It's very loud here.
And another projective headcannon, Arven and sensory issues, paticulary touch and sound (cause there wasn't a lout of touch or sound in his childhood) Hes also a pretty quiet and shy person to begin with, so he's kind of an odd one out. Even Giacomo at first disliked him and thought he shouldn't be in Segin Squad. (the little doodle from my last art post "he doesn't fit!")
Along with Arven there are many people in Segin that don't like how loud it is all the time. But they try not to say anything because Team Star is already doing to much and if it becomes unberable they can just switch squads.
So some of the recruits are testing out a new speaker system and Arven was helping carry them around, when they accidentally turn it on a blast the loudest fucking sound possible. Most of the people working on it just shook it off having heard long things on the regular. Some others sill reeling and taking a while to calm down. Arven was carrying one of the speakers (touch and sound wow) Which sends into a small panic attack (...don't look at me like that even small speakers at loud noises cause a lot of vibration) Once something is too loud almost everything around you is too loud which fucking sucks. Everyone is trying to calm him down and with all the commotion Giacomo comes out to try to fix the situation. Which leads to Giacomo truning everything making noise off, putting his headphones over Arvens ears, and giving him a hug. (i find touch grounding so here we go it's different for everyone so don't take my bullshit as an answer)
The headphones Arven is wearing it the art above were originally Giacomos. But they're his now.
This entire event causes Giacomo to start noticing the other people who aren't ok with the noise levels are starts to think 'oh shit we have to do something about this'
So Giacomo goes to Arven asking for any input of help with making his base a bit more sensory friendly. They work on noise regulation and try to take account of everyone who has issues with the noise and other things around the base. They're a bit uncomfortable around each other at first, not really knowing each other before all of this. But after three to four months they're increbiblly close and once the major problem is "fixed" (it still had a few small hiccups but it's mostly ok nothings perfect) they work on other projects like traning facilies and larger housing and rooms.
Team Star has monthly meetings with penny to see the progress everyone is making. One of those meetings Giacomo asks Arven to join him. Once at the meeting Giacomo gives a whole speech about how Arven is a great guy and help Segin Squad so much ending it with "I think Arven should a boss as well! He and I could run the Segin base together, like a co-boss system. It would benift the entire base!"
He continues rambling about how it would be the best thing for segin suad and it might go against Penny's plan but Arven's a great guy right. Penny stops him saying that it sounds like a great idea and that he should go for it. (maybe she was planning this all along who knows)
Arven and Giacomo have different ways of being the Segin Squad Boss. Giacomo runs the show most of the time being the one to fight trainers and do most of the inside work with penny. This doubles when Arven starts fighting the Titans with the MC. Arven is mostly behind the scenes working with penny sometimes and mostly working with the recruits. When Giacomo is the one on the stage there is always some sort of noise, weather its music or chatter. Its always noisy but in a comfortable quiet way. When Arven is up on stage it's dead silent. (Arven's team would also change to cover more dark types) There's no noise, barely anyone is our and about and it's horrifying. Arven because of this is labeled as one of the most scary Team Star bosses. He just tries to run quiet days so people can relax, he didn't know it was horrifying.
As the hopeless romantic i am i love timemix and just had to include it. It was a slow tranisiton from friends to partners for them, because they're idiots and they didn't realize they liked each other. (Giacomo whole speech was just gay rambling and everyone realized but Arven) its not really important but it makes for funny scenes.
Since most of team star knows of Arvens plans to save Mabosstiff whenever talking about him to anyone not in team star they call him pepper. So when the MC learns about the Segin Squad she learns about Giacomo and his scary boyfriend Pepper. (team star finds it funny to tell everyone including new recruits that Arven is really scary to freak them out) So the MC really doesn't want to meet him. When they realize that Arven is Pepper it's kind of like this. After the whole area zero bullshit they get out of the crater and walk for a while and are like fuck this. They can't book a taxi out to the crater so Arven calls Giacomo and is like "Hey can you pick me and a few other ppl up" "we're at the great crater of pladea" and Penny is like "I'm here too! Get snacks-" some more dialouge and then the MC asks "who's that" and which Penny and Arven reply "Giacomo" "My Boyfriend" The MC takes a bit to figure it out but to say it shocks them is an understatement.
Also all the stuff team star could try to get them together is hilarious.
About if Arven still goes to Uva it's complicated. All the team star bosses and recruits are still part of Uva, Clavell is hesitant to expel them. But none of them go to Uva so they're not really students. The MC meets Arven first at the lighthouse with Miraidon and then once again after the treasure hunt starts then he explains his plans with the titans and they help him. The MC never meets him at the academy but asumes he goes there because of the uniform.
Thats the AU it's most for the fun idea of shoving Arven into Team Star, i have a bunch of fun little comic and fic ideas for it so i'll probably do something for that.

Thank you Anon!
Okay so - here’s one that I spent a long time planning, which I’ve thought of as the Gaunter O’Dimm Timey Wimey Fic (it probably would be like... 50k or something absurd)
Wow this got really long, so its going under a cut! Contains love spells, curses, Gaunter O’Dimm, time travel and near death experiences
Jaskier has always been very popular, and Geralt is being quietly jealous about it. But it’s getting unberable, and even Jaskier is overwhelmed with the amount of people demanding him and his time. He’s constantly turning people down, and has no idea what’s going on.
Then he gets sick. No one knows what’s wrong with him, just that he’s lethargic and tired and he’s just... slowing down. It’s like his energy is being sapped. And the more it happens, the more people keep trying to romance him, until the point where Geralt has to physically push someone away.
So, this comes to a peak and Jaskier collapses halfway through a set. Geralt gets him to a healer, who can’t find anything wrong with him, so he rushes him to Yen. He’s been cursed, that much they know, but there’s a magical block in his head that she can’t get past so she can’t work out how.
Geralt is getting desperate. They can work out that Jaskier will live - but not for long. Eventually, his body is just going to shut down. Geralt goes off for a stomp to clear his head, frustrated that this is something he cant fix, when he’s approached by a stranger who seems to know who he is.
OH NO ITS GAUNTER O’DIMM. Gaunter knows all about Geralt. He knows about Jaskier. He knows about their travels. He knows Jaskier’s history - his real history, his abandoned title and shitty parents and the reason he became a bard. Geralt is forced to trust him when Gaunter tells him that he knows the spell Jaskier is under.
Turns out, it’s a love spell (of course). Jaskier needs to have his love reciprocated (by the person he’s secretly in love with) or the curse will overcome him and he’ll die. This is why he’s been so popular and so sick - the curse is expending his energy putting out “oh god, LOVE ME” vibes for a half mile radius all around him
Geralt demands to know how he can fix it, and Gaunter suggests a deal. He gives Geralt a carved wooden token, roughly the length and width of a finger, and tells Geralt that if he breaks it the object of Jaskier’s love will die, thus breaking the spell and saving his life.
Geralt doesn’t agree to the deal, but takes the token anyway. He talks it through with Yen - they’ve no idea who this person is, and the magical block around Jaskier’s mind stops her from finding out. It could be some nobody, but equally it could be a noble - it could be a monarch - and their death could have enormous, Continent-wide consequences
Geralt agrees not to do it. They’ll find another way. But Jaskier gets sicker, and times running out, and there’s no way of saving him now he is going to die-- so Geralt takes the token and snaps it.
It breaks as easy as anything.
And then Geralt falls-- he can’t breathe-- and the last thing he sees is Jaskier sitting up in the bed before everything goes dark.
and oh dear, oh dear, Geralt. What a bad choice. 
He opens his eyes to... nothing. To everything. Gaunter approaches through the dark. It was a trap. Of course it was.
Turns out, Gaunter was the one who cursed Jaskier in the first place. He cursed him years ago, back when he’d just left the academy. He’d asked Jaskier what he wanted, and Jaskier had told him - I just want to be loved. He’d made it so easy.
In the future, Gaunter explains, Geralt proves to be.... problematic to his goals. He gets in the way. So Gaunter has manipulated time - just a little! - to get his revenge pre-emptively. To stop him before he can even think about ruining Gaunter’s plans. Because he knows, of course, that Geralt will do anything to save Jaskier. It was a safe gamble.
And besides, he explains, Geralt isn’t actually dead. Not really. He’s just... temporarily displaced, in the soul department. Gaunter owns him, now. His body is still alive, in the most technical sense, although its unlikely to remain that way for long. Maybe just a few months. Probably longer, given Geralt’s mutagens. Maybe even a year! He should be thankful, really.
So, Geralt is trapped, and Jaskier is suddenly awake and well. He and Yen quickly piece together what happened and he decides well, fuck this, I’m getting my witcher back. 
[This is where my planning gets fuzzy. How does he get to the spooky not-place? I... do not know]
So Jaskier arrives, full of Anger and Fury. I think he ends up saving Geralt using his wits, not strength - he probably challenges Gaunter to riddles or something along those lines, and manages to win, freeing them both (or just freeing Geralt, until Geralt goes “you know what, fuck this” and just straight-up stabs Gaunter or something)
And then, of course, there are lots of love confessions and kisses and everyone lived happily ever after
Put “📓” or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I’ll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven’t written but daydream about.

A little blue bird has told me you were dying to a deep feedback into the fic, so I took the liberty of being the one to do that.
Star-crossed has an outstanding plot from any Toto fic I've ever read. And I'd go further and say in the whole F1 genre.
The idea of giving Niki a daughter and make her and Toto a couple was freaking genious. However, after reading so many fics out there about Toto himself having a daughter who's dating someone in the team I was a bit skeptical. She's always shallow, she doesn't have real problems, we don't know about her life, her passions, what are her motivations? What's even the struggle that keeps them from revealing to the world - and her father - That they're a couple? Well, here the story is another one. Miss Lauda has got all of the above. And much more.
We get to see a daughter who loves and respects her father deeply. She has every bit of Niki in her character ‐ is that why Toto fell for her? 🤔😂 - She grew up with the money and connections inside one of the most exclusive circles in the world, where her father was a proeminent figure. Yet she doesn't look or act like any of the girls around it ‐ no ofense to them.
She's shy around people, very taken back by her own feelings, model or influencer? Nah, she runs her beloved father's business. What she does when she meets a man who finally sparks something inside of her? Does she try to seduce him or starts fucking with him in the first 5 chapters just to complain abou it later? No. She fights her own feelings until it's impossible, cause she knows it's the right thing to do. He's a handsome, well suceeded older man who has strong ties with her father. He's been married before. This couldn't end right. It won't. But then she sees he also looks at her the same way. She's helplessly seduced and in love when she finally accepts that. That's the epitome of slow burn right there. I will tell him about my feelings. I'm gonna dive in. But then...Aurélie.
I was hell sure Toto wouldn't be waiting for her all this time without being with someone else. Still, with all the fic clishit we've seen around here I didn't think you'd be so realistic. But you surprised me one more time. The contrast between the two characters was evident. And I clearly understood why Toto wouldn't stop having feelings for Miss Lauda. She was the woman for him.
Atemlos durch die nacht was soooo good. To me it was the chapter where their feeling unraveled. After this, there was no more hiding. Even though they didn't get together for I think another two or three morr chapters, it was clear there was only one woman in his heart and the feeling about the slightest possiblity of losing him even though he wasn't hers yet was unberable for her.
The timing when they finally get together it's impeccable. Really. I could sense how grateful he was for her about the team winning. And how happy she felt seeing him so bright and knowing she was part of it. The whole chapter was very emotional and hot at the same time. It was obvious it was going to happen that night. The confessions, the smut, she letting her fears slip away for the pleasure...Pure sexiness.
The last chapters have shown that it was just a question of time. They're loving - and fucking - each other deeply and intensely.
But the last chapter was the turning point for me.
Alright, we know there's a significant Toto community out here and we love writing and fantasizing about him. There's no problem in that. The thing is, even though it's a fic, we want some sense of realness too.
There's always this kinkiness and daddiness, super dominant demeanor that really doesn't say or do much besides being the boss and bedding the girl the majority of times people write about Toto. And "That's so not right". Toto is, of course, a very handsome, well suceeded man. He's the true emboiment of an alpha male, if I may say. But that's not why he has so many fans.
He has quite a life story and journey. He's resilient, kind, loving and funny. He never gives up. His focus is always on something greater, bigger than him, "the team". That's why we love Toto, and you got it completely right.
The story has an impecable accuracy with, I think, the only non-real aspect of it being the main character's inexistence and the fact that it's a fic 😂. The people, dates, events, places, broken bones and songs are an impressive display of quality and dedication, but the veracity of Toto's character is something apart. You've gotten all the layers and complexity of him. The last chapter just throw it into our faces. It was deep, emotional and so relatable, so real. For fifteen minutes I felt like was in our bed, in England with my eyes wet, hearing about his thoughts. It took me sometime to register it wasn't real life.
So..Here it is the " little" feedback you requested. I know it was a little to much and you shouldn't tire yourself by getting to the end of it. It was a way to register a little bit your writing makes me feel and how good it is. I hope you know that. I've seen you saying that something you just wanna delete everything and pretend it never happened, but please, NEVER do that. Please. I'm certain I'm not the only one who would be devasted by that.
Both of your works have helped me big time and I hope you continue writing and for you to be happy with it, first and foremost. Thank you for everything.💗
okay, a long analysis deserves a long answer
The idea of giving Niki a daughter and make her and Toto a couple was freaking genious. [...] She's always shallow, she doesn't have real problems, we don't know about her life, her passions, what are her motivations? What's even the struggle that keeps them from revealing to the world - and her father - That they're a couple?
when i first came with the concept, i thought a lot about it. i did not wanted to her biggest trait be "niki's daughter", as i've read so many times in so many other stories, not only in formula 1.
she had to be more, a lot more.
then miss lauda came alive, a woman who went to one of most prestigious universities of austria, who doesnt like motorsports like her brothers, who is logical and analytical and, as you pointed, who loves and respects her father deeply.
What she does when she meets a man who finally sparks something inside of her? Does she try to seduce him or starts fucking with him in the first 5 chapters just to complain abou it later? No. She fights her own feelings until it's impossible, cause she knows it's the right thing to do. [...] But then she sees he also looks at her the same way. She's helplessly seduced and in love when she finally accepts that. That's the epitome of slow burn right there. I will tell him about my feelings. I'm gonna dive in. But then...Aurélie. [...] The contrast between the two characters was evident. And I clearly understood why Toto wouldn't stop having feelings for Miss Lauda. She was the woman for him.
aurélie came to me in a moment where i was completely lost about the plot path. it was too easy. too simple. then i remembered my own experience. and the pieces came together.
aurélie is supposed to be the inverse of miss lauda, but not in a sense of being that stereotype of the dumb and futile blonde bombshell we see. is in the point of socializing. she is a social butterfly, born to cameras and attention. she is polite, elegant and knows how to conduct a conversation like no other. she conquered toto because of that.
however, as you pointed, aurélie was not miss lauda.
Atemlos durch die nacht was soooo good. To me it was the chapter where their feeling unraveled.
the main point, to me, was to show how miss lauda cared about him, despite all the mess that happened in METAStadt event. however, to toto, was just a confirmation that she was the one. she were always the one.
The timing when they finally get together it's impeccable. [...] It was obvious it was going to happen that night. The confessions, the smut, she letting her fears slip away for the pleasure...Pure sexiness.
that was the night, had to be the night. his first conquer as team principal, the pride and joy rushing in his body. if miss lauda didnt make the move, he would, im sure of that.
The thing is, even though it's a fic, we want some sense of realness too. [...] The story has an impecable accuracy with, I think, the only non-real aspect of it being the main character's inexistence and the fact that it's a fic 😂. The people, dates, events, places, broken bones and songs are an impressive display of quality and dedication [...]
since i was a little girl, i loved to play with the reality. even when i was messing up with my dolls, i liked to do real-life scenarios. and i kept this with me while growing up.
i never liked that thing of just pretending something is there. i feel there is lacking personality, lacking soul. that's why i take so much time working, researching. my navigation history is the biggest mess ever, so my youtube's homepage. but these are only details when i manage to bring the things to real life.
[...] the veracity of Toto's character is something apart. You've gotten all the layers and complexity of him. The last chapter just throw it into our faces. It was deep, emotional and so relatable, so real. [...]
the last chapter was really challenging for me because i feared a lot bringing this side of toto. as you said, he is a boss, an alpha male, handsome, well suceeded man. and i felt bringing a scene where he is crying in his bed because miss lauda called him selfish and that was a trigger to him was out of place.
however, i looked at some interviews where toto mentions his father and his childhood and i felt i needed to do it. i needed to show this contrast. i needed to show who was behind the strong team principal. and, while listening to the most sad songs of the singer jão, that monologue was born.
It was a way to register a little bit your writing makes me feel and how good it is. I hope you know that.
reading your words was truly inspiring and it warmed my heart. indeed sometimes i feel like im a failure and that i should just delete the blog but are words like that that makes me even more glad to write about a person i cherish so much. i am really thankful you took your time to write this for me. again, thank you. hope you keep liking it.

Hello to all :)
So, before I run off for the weekend and from this unberable heat to my own little personal Duskwood (by which I mean a house in the woods :D ), I promised to someone I would post the epilogue to my story by friday, and I keep my promises :)
Anyway, I wish you all to have a great weekend! Take care :)
CALL OF THE RAVEN
PART 27 - EPILOGUE
And so a year passed. One year since Hanna was found, one year since I met my wonderful friends. And one year since the most beautiful blue eyes I ever saw stopped haunting my dreams and became my reality.
It's been almost six months since I decided to move in with Jake and make Duskwood my new home. It was the easiest decision I ever made. They all became the most important people in my life, and I couldn't even imagine a day passing without beeing close to them. We shared a bond stronger than anything. They became my family, and family definitely doesn't start or end with blood.
--------------------------------------------
„You said five more minutes. Almost twenty passed!“ Jake announces from the doors. „I know, I know! I'm done!“ Turning in my chair, I just stare at him. „What? Do I look that bad?“ he asks worryingly after a moment. He was wearing black pants and a dark blue formal shirt, wich made his eyes color even more intense. That always amazed me, their color changing from greyish-blue to such an intense blue, I got lost in them so manny times. „Maya?“ His words snaped my attention back. Getting up I smile walking to him „Oh, the opposite, babe. You look very handsome.“ He smiles back. Wrapping my hands around his neck and kissing him softly first, then pulling him closer intensifying the kiss, hinting him more than clearly where I'm heading with this. He moves away raising his eyebrow „Oh, no, no, no.“ „What's a no?“ I ask, biting teasingly at my lover lip. Groaning he takes another step backwards from me „Argh, don't do this to me, angel!“ „I have no clue what you're talking about.“ I say taking a step towards him, playfully twirling a strand of hair arround my finger. „We don't have time for this!“ „Oh, well then.“ I say dissapointed and with a sigh start towards the bedrom. Passing him, I take my shirt off droping it on the floor at his feet „I suppose I'll go get ready then.“ I could feel his lustful stare following me. I barely stepped into the bedroom when his hand comes around me, pulling me to him, his other hand moving the hair from my neck. His soft lips on my skin sent tingles all over me. „You are driving me crazy.“ He whispers to my ear. „And you love it.“ I hum back. Turning me to face him he grins „But just so we're clear, you are going to explain to my sister why we were late to the wedding. And I'm dying to hear what excuse you will think of.“ Laughing I put my hands around his neck „Don't worry, babe, I can get quite creative when needed.“
„So, tell me you two, what was it that made you almost end up late for the wedding?“ Lilly was looking inquisitive at Jake and me. „Yes, Maya, please tell Lilly why we were almost late.“ Jake grins at me. Oh, he is so gonna get it for this! „There was...an emergency with my dress.“ She snorts „Right, I'm sure there was.“ Flashing her the most wonderful smile I could make „Oh, come on, Lilly, don't be like this. Hannah just got married, we should all be happy.“ „You two are impossible. I need a drink.“ She shakes her head before leaving us. „Emergency with the dress? That's the best you could think of?“ Jake raise his eyebrow at me. I grin „Shush it. It worked..kinda.“ „No it didn't.“ He laughs. „Fine, it didn't.“ I agree. „Then next time, you think of something better.“ He chuckles „Oh no, I'm not letting you make a habbit out of it.“ Turning to him with a wicked smile and going for a kiss, but stoping so close our lips barely touch „Whatever you say, babe.“ Without finishing the kiss, I slowly turn and head for the bar. „You are killing me!“ he yells after me. I turn my head and wink, just as Dan shows up next to him. „Troubles at paradise, man?“ he asks him. Jake grins, not taking his eyes off me „Quite the opposite, man, quite the opposite.“
The cool night breeze swirled arround me as I lean on the railings of the terrasse. Watching my friends looking so happy and laughing makes me smile myself. Seeing them like this, no one would ever thought that a year ago their lives turned into a nightmare. Even if the scars of the past events might not be visible to the eye, they are there, imprinted deep into each one of them. With time, they will fade more, and become just a distant memory.
The scars on my body are a different story. They will always be there, a reminder of bad days. But that's all right, I don't want to forget anyway. I want to remember, that no matter what shit life threw at me, I survived, I came out of it stronger. And no matter what might come my way next, I will be all right. They are also a reminder of all the good things that came along with them – new unbreakable friendships, and love, the purest and strongest love. Non of it would be able to exist without all the bad thats happened.
A raven perched on a tree cawed, calling for my attention. His beady black eyes curiously observed me. It's caw echoes around me again, it's sinister voice carried deep into the forest. That sound was frightening to me, sending shivers down my spine, bad memories resurfacing with it. But not this time. With a smirk I look at the bird straight in the eye „Don't waste your time with me, you don't scare me anymore.“ The raven continued to stare at me, moving it's head from one side to the other, as if searching to find just a hint of doubt in my words. Unsuccessfully. It's wings flapped, it's caws echoing as I watch it fly away, getting lost somewhere deep in the forest. „Everything all right, angel?“ Jake voice comes from the doors. With a smile I move from the railing and turn to him, call of the raven falling more silent behind me „Everything is perfect.“
-----------------------------------------------
„Finaly! I was beginning to worry.“ I almost yell in my phone. „Sorry, angel, I just stepped outside a minute ago.“ „Well that took forever. At least tell me you have good news?“ I ask impatiently. „Let me pick you up, then we'll talk.“ „Oh, no, no, no.“ I protest. „I've been waiting for hours, I can't wait anymore, I'm going crazy here!“ „All right, all right.“ He laughs. „Sooooo, what's the verdict? Is it over?“ I was so nervous to hear his answer. „It's over, angel.“ I screamed so loud from happines, scolding myself instantly for doing so in a place that I was at the moment. „Oh, babe, I'm soooo happy to hear this!“ I laugh „You haven't called back for so long, I was beginning to play the worst scenarios in my head. I know Dan said I can ask him for anything, but I doubt he would agree in helping me busting you out of jail. With a mention of it being a federal one, the chances are even slimmer. “ He chuckles „Yeah, I doubt that, too.“ „Tell me, did they agree to your demands? Is your record clean again?“ „Let me put it like this“ he says „They were more then extremely satisfied with the results they got from the informations I provided for them, that I could have asked for an island and they would say yes to it.“ I burst out laughing „Well, owning an island is a new trend these days.“ He laughs back. „Jake?“ I say serious. „What's up, angel?“ „Do you regret doing any of this? I mean, this was something you were forced to do, and honestly, I don't want you to end up hating me one day for any of this. I know I asked you that before, but still..“ „Listen to me, angel. I would do all of this the same way every time, without hesitation, through a thousand lifetimes, if in the end it would mean I get to have you.“ A tear escape my eye, more threathening to follow „Gosh, don't you get me in tears, silly! Now, come and get me, so we can go celebrate properly!“ He chuckles „All right, angel. And where are you?“ „You don't know?“ I ask surprised. „Don't tell me you stopped tracking my phone?“ „I will never do that.“ I laugh „Good, then you'll know where to pick me up. Love you.“ „Love you, too. See you soon, angel.“
I know why I decided to come to this place while nervously waiting for news from Jake. First time he brought me along, there was such calmness radiating from him, just sitting here, in the same spot I am sitting now. I never seen him being more at peace anywhere else but here. I guess I hoped coming here would do the same for me. And I was not wrong.
Collecting my stuff I stand up and look at the tombstone that I was sitting in front all this time.
Here lies Anna
A beloved daughter and mother
You will be missed forever
„Don't worry, Anna“ I smile at the tombstone throwing my backpack over my shoulder „Jake will be all right, I'll take good care of him. I promise.“
THE END
A/N: All right, so this is it, the end. I want to say a big 'thank you' to anyone who read it! :) I had fun writing it, and I hope you had fun reading it :) And honestly, I am a bit sad it ended, but we all know all things must come to an end eventually. Anyway, thak you again, much love to you all :)

All the events that lead to Sirius running away from his family.
Sirius Black x reader, Sirius Black x Potter reader, Regulus Black x reader.
Summary: A ball in Grimauld Place doesnt end as expected either for Sirius Black or Lena Potter, James´s sister.
Author´s note: Okay, this is a part of a story Ive been writting lately. I never post what I write, but I just felt like sharing it. If someone wants it I can upload more parts. Thank you xx. PD: Enlgish is not my first language so sorry for any mistakes.
Words: 3200. 
Lena breathed deeply standing in the mirror. Regulus had invited her to their family yearly ball and she was mortified. She was so done with that family, they were ruinous, bad people. Her mind drifted to the two brothers. Regulus would be glad she was going, and she also felt that Sirius would appreciate it. After their rendevouz in the Room of Requirements their friendship was as strong as ever. She would spend more time with the Marauders since then, distancing herself from her Slytherin boys, to the Gryffindors joy. She knew how bad the two boys had it and wished time and time again that she had any power over them and she could just bring them home, away from those irresponsible parents.
It was not only Walburga and Orion that she had to worry about, it was also Bellatrix, and Narcisa's boyfriend, Lucius. Pureblood supremacy talk was the usual take in these events and she really dreaded to go. How in their right mind would want to spend hours in the same room as all of those racist supremacists? It was tiresome, to say the least. Still, as always, she couldn't help to want their approval. So she had bought a green dress with some straps on the back. It was silky, and she hoped to blend in. Obviously, she had Reg in mind. She wanted to make an impression on him. They had been together for the whole year and she felt the need to constantly live up to his standards. Of course he had the same pressure, they both shared it, that's why the two had to be perfect.
Ever since the room of requirements incident, in which Lena and Sirius had almost kissed each other, on multiple occasions, she had tried not to think about his words. That confession she was not supposed to have heard. Well if it had been for Sirius, he would have woken her up and told her. But she knew he had his brother to think of. And so did she. Thats why she concentrated hard in being his friend now more than ever. She figured that if she was to keep on with these confusing feelings, she would have to maintain their friendship, not talking would just make her want to see him even more.
All of these thoughts clouded her mind as she was putting on her make up. Her lips a bright red, his eye shadow dark. Just in that instant, his brother made an appearance.
- My, my, sis you look stuning.- he complimented her as he turned her and the dress lightly swayed.
- Thanks, James.- she smiled and soon James turned serious.
- I need to ask you something. - he pleaded, the girl just nodded asking him to continue. - Can you please have an eye on Padfoot?- he asked preocupied for his friend.
- I will, dont you worry. He is my friend as well.- she responded taking his hand.
- I know, I know. Its just, I wish I could be there with him. He never talks about it, just curses his mother over and over again. - the girl nodded.
- I know, dont worry about that. You are a good friend. - she was quick to reply.
- I try.- he smiled once again, hugging his sister before they made their way out to where their parents were hanging out.
- You look absolutely gorgeous.- Euphemia Potter took her in.
- Thank Merlin Regulus is a chivalrous kid.- Fleamont raised his brows.- You really are stunning, Lena. - he complimented. She smiled once again, lightly caressing her curly short hair so it would fall into place.
- I better get going.- she finally spoke making her way to the fireplace.
- Grimlaud place 12.- she shouted, careful not to get ashes on her dress.
When she arrived, the room was abandoned, except for Sirius Black.
- Lena!- he greated smirking as always. He quickly hugged her, not really taking in her appeareance until they backed from the other. His hand grabbed hers.
- You look so amazing! That dress fits you in every place.- he spoke bewilded with the girl who had a large smile on her face.- I wish it were red but hey, at least it has a slit on the leg. - his eyes roamed over her, who was already red from all the blushing.
- You look great as well, Siri. I mean you usually look good, more than good. But that tunic is working miracles.- she began talking, not knowing what had come over her.
- Be careful now. One would think that you wanted some of this.- he gestured to himself. The girl laughed loudly, and suddenly, Regulus was at the door. The two quickly separated.
- Reg!- she screamed, hugging him tightly, not noticing Sirius threatening expression.
- I thought you couldn't be prettier, guess I was wrong.- he looked at her adoringly, just as Sirius had a few moments ago.
- Well I thought the same, none of us was right.- both laughed before kissing. The older brother gagged behind them before making his way to the ball on the living room.
- I missed you.- she spoke while she caressed his face. He smiled at this, finally in comfort in her hands.
- I did too, more than you know.- he replied grabbing her hands and linking them over his chest.
- Well, we shouldn't keep the others waiting should we?- she smiled, trying to cheer him up.
- We will leave them breathless, even Cissy and that Malfoy.- he replied and both laughing made their way to the ball.
The black hall was decorated with plenty of silver and green decorations. Lena stared at the room in awe, and also a little bit disgusted. It was dark, with the black walls and all, the only light coming from the gigantic lights.
The two tried to walk with confidence. Her hand on his, holding it tightly, reasuringly.
Soon everybody's atention was on them. Some compliments from Walburga, Orion being proud of the Slytherin colours, Narcissa loving the hair. All viewed by a lurking Sirius that already had a glass of wine in his hand.
- You love her, dont you?- his favourite cousin stood next to him, in a gorgeous black dress.
- I dont know what your talking about.- he tried to play it cool, drinking some more wine.
- Cmon, Sirius. It is quite obvious. You cannot keep your eyes from her. - she replied, trying to get him to confess.
- Maybe I do. But I cant do anything about it.- he said lowly, dwoning yet another cup, this time champagne.
- It is a terrible situation you find yourself in. Both options ahead of you, you can try to be the good brother, or go for the girl. - she reasoned.
- Where is Ted?- Sirius tried to change the topic but his tone was harsh.
- Shhh, keep quiet will you?- she pleaded hoping that no one had heard.
-Ah, but that is a terrible situation.- Sirius spoke bitterly. To which his cousin just replied.
- I dont care that you are heartbroken, dont mention him here. That is a very sensible topic.- she spoke, serious all of a sudden.
- Im sorry. Alcohol and anger are not a good mix.- he tried to sound remorseful. The older Black understood and just left him.
Over and over again Sirius cursed himself. He should've told her over the moments he had this past year. Why hadnt him? How could he let this happen? Lena was dancing gracefully with Regulus, both laughing at something she had said. His hateful parents stared at the couple grinning. Lena and Reg were the perfect couple and everybody knew it. How could he have allowed this to happen. It should be him, dancing with her. It should be him making her laugh. It should be him, who his parents would gaze at with pride.
But there he was, already having a few too many drinks. Making a show of himself, perpetuating the view his family had of him. It was crazy how much he despised every single one of them. He wanted to take the girl, runaway with her and never turn back.
A few hours passed and nothing seemed to change. Every once in a while his parents would scold him for drinking too much or asking him to stop sulking around. But what else could he do? When the girl he adored didnt leave his brotherss side.
Even Andromeda was dancing with the couple, seeming to be very close with the Potter. Slytherin budies, Sirius thought. He felt betrayed, miserable, this was unberable. He needed to leave, he could only hope that the night would end soon. But oh how wrong he was.
- It seems like you are having a great time.- the only moment he had taken his eyes off her, she had made her way towards him.
- Haha, youre funny. - he resorted.
- Cmon, Siri. Ive seen you all night only moving to grab more drinks. You are the life of the party.- she continued to joke.
- Well this is hell. - he added staring at her with anger.
- I know, right?- she replied laughing to which he raised his brows. - What?- she asked taking his cup and drinking from it.
- You dont seem too bad with Reggie and my lovely parents.- he said bitterly.
- How have you sneaked firewhiskey in here?- she wondered taking another big gulp from it, without ackonwledging him.
- shhh. - he tried shutting her up, but her laugh was contagious.
- Oh Cmon. - she laughed again grabbing his arm.
- Lena, Ive had way too much to drink and I see that you are served as well so maybe try to lay off the booze. - his attempt at being responsible was cut off by the girl.
- Im not that bad, you aren't either. Now, we should dance.- she reached for his hand.
The boy just stared at the gorgeous girl, this was his dream, wasn't it?
- Cmon, Reg is dancing with your mum and I really dont want to dance with your father. So please.- she pleaded with puppy eyes. Sirius felt like he couldnt move, not saying a word, his eyes fixed on her. - Sirius, are you with us?- she asked when she didnt get a response. Finally, breaking from his trance, the boy took her hand and smiled.
- Ive been waiting the whole night for you to ask me to dance.- he whispered in her ear once they linked arms at the dance floor. She just smiled, squeezing his hand tighter. He, in response, gripped her waist. She found it hard to breathe, not daring to look at him. Soon they were waltzing around the room. Neither could say a word, only the music could be heard. Their eyes fixed on the others. They moved gracefully, without paying much atention to the rest. They didnt notice the stranged look on Sirius parents, or Regs anoyed look.
- Im sorry. Ive tried to come to you a few times, but Reg wouldnt allow me to leave his side. - she finally spoke as a slower song played and they continued moving through the hall.
- Dont worry, the wait was worth it.- he replied, and another smile crept into her face. His grey eyes on her hazels. Suddenly, Sirius turned her around, and when they were back face to face, she noticed his stern look, she mimicked him, not knowing if she had done something wrong. - I dont like Regulus treating you like that. - he stated, his eyes everywhere but on her.
- He needs me, Siri. - she quickly replied as they tilted to the side. - Besides, I knew I would be able to see you after some time. - she added. - If I really had wanted to, trust me, I would have come. - Sirius frown became wider.
- I knew the wait would make this more worth a while.- she whispered in his ear, her lips barely centimeters away. He breathed in deeply, closing his eyes, smelling her perfume, she was so close to him.
The song ended abruptly and they separated to applaud, still gazing at the other.
Andromeda made her way towards them looking stunning.
- Im sorry darling. - she referred to the girl. - I havent danced with my cousin for the whole night. Would you mind?- she pleaded, looking at the younger Black that still hadnt processed what had happened.
- Of course, Drome.- she said lovingly to her friend. - Ill leave you to it.- she added smiling, her hand reaching for his arm for a few seconds.
The boy turned quickly when she walked past him, but soon, his cousin moved his head with her hands to fix his gaze on her.
- You are so in love.- she smiled, her dark eyes filled with love for him.
- I cannot help it. - he turned them around so he could stare at her once again. - She is perfect.- he added, lovestruck. His lips parted, adoration clear in his eyes.
- I dont know how this will turn out, but either way Im invested.- Andromeda joked, messing with Sirius hair, making him turn towards her annoyed, but smiling deep down.
A few more hours passed, without much trouble. Sirius had some laughs with Andromeda, Lena was able to dance with him for another long while. He supposed this was the best he could have expected for the night. Of course some of the firewhiskey he had drowned in helped too.
Everything seemed to have turned out fine in the end. That was until he heard Malfoy speak. He had tried to avoid listening to them, staying as far away as he could from them. But he was next to his cousin that was tying her shoe when he heard a name too familiar to him.
- Take Lilly Evans, she is a mud-blood, but she tries to seem smarter.- Sirius was used to them boasting about blood superiority, he could pass that, knowing that if he reacted, only Andromeda and Lena would help him.
- She is a know-it-all. But when we put them into place, theyll know what is good. All of that intelligence wont be worth much.- Bellatrix added, disgusted.
The boy balled his hands into fists, his breathing erratic. If James were here, he wouldnt allow any of this. How could he? He was no better than any of them. He was sick and tired of this. Next to him, Lena appeared grabbing his hand.
- I cant wait for the day those people dont atend Hogwarts. The school would be just as it should be, without mudbloods. Just as Salazar Slytherin would have wanted. - Lucius agreed with the Black sister. Narcissa keeping quiet.
Andromeda stood next to the couple, also trying to think what to do. Sirius parents were on the other side of the hall, with Regulus, talking with some ministry people. The boy felt the anger boiling in him, his heartbeat racing.
- Malfoy, the school wont be perfect until you are gone.- he quickly made his way towards him, the two girls following him.
- Ah, blood traitor, you are the next, after the clensing of the mudbloods. - Bellatrix hissed at him, Rodolphus joining them.
- Im so ashamed to share your last name.- Sirius resorted, going towards her, wand in hand. But Rabastan stepped in front of her and Lena grabbed his arm.
- Sirius, its not worth it.- Lena tried to reason with him, pleading him with her soft gaze and calm voice. The boy began calming his breathing before turning around.
- A blood traitor and a coward, you have it all, dear cousin. Why Orion and Walburga put up with you scapes my knowledge. - Bellatrix lunged for him, ending in Rodolphuss arms, holding her.
- Shut up you crazy bitch!- Sirius didnt have time to think about what he was doing, before grabbing his wand again.
-Sirius!- Lena shouted but he was already gone.
- You dare talk to me like that? Gryffindor.- his cousin kept trying to get him angrier.
Soon Sirius and her were face to face, wand at the other. Everyone had turned to them, including Sirius parents. Their son had his back towards them, one look from his wife and Orion knew what to do.
- Expeliermus!- Sirius ended up on the floor, his wand on the other side of the room. Bellatrix and Lucius laughed while Walburga began shouting at his son.
- What the hell?- Lena screamed, having too much of this family, quickly reaching Sirius.
- Are you okay?- she asked taking his head on her hands, supporting him on her knees.
- My head hurts.- he exclaimed, his hand reaching hers.
- Leave with me. - she pleaded, tears on her eyes. Both stayed like that while the party ended.
The people from the ministry left, and soon only the closest Black family members stayed. Regulus made his way towards the two, after being scolded by his mother on how Lena had acted.
- Lena, you have to go. - he tried grabbing her arm standing, but she yanked him away.
- You should leave. Both of you, come with me, now.- she begged time and time again, her vision now blurry.
Both Black brothers saw her in distress, not knowing what to do. While Walburga cursed his son, and Bellatrix accompanied her, Sirius took her hands and moved them from his face.
- Its okay, Lena. You dont want to be on the other end of her rage. - he said lowly. Regulus just stared, not knowing how to feel.
- I can´t leave you here.- she said between sobs.
- Ill be fine, I always am, arent I?- he tried to smile to the girl that held his heart. She nodded before helping him up.
- I love you.- she whispered in his ear as she hugged him goodbye.
- I love you too.- he responded, before she kissed his cheek.
Then, drying her tears, she made her way to Regulus that was still in shock. When she reached him, he reacted, leading her to the living room. None could speak, both feeling too many things all at once. Rage, horror, impotence, love. They didnt even share a single touch on the way.
- Bye, Regulus.- she said bluntly before turning for the chimney.

Tumblr media
Angel looked over at you once again, watching as you fell back into sleep. You two were three hours out of Santo Padre, and he couldn’t wait to show you his surprise. He hoped you like the work he’s done, but he knew you better than anyone and knew you would love it.
While you were in Arizona, actually before you even went to Arizona, Angel purchased a home for you two. When he got back from his run, he was excited to see you so he could bring you to the home he purchased. It wasn’t the finished product, but he had been making renovations ever since he bought the house. It was a ten minute drive from the clubhouse and it was a fifteen minute drive from his pops. But then you disappeared so Angel was never able to show you.
Didn’t mean he stopped working on the house though.
Whenever he had time, he worked on parts of the house. He was always hopefully you were going to come back and once you did, you two could live there and finally start the life he had planned for you both. 
He was excited to show you his work, to show you just how much hope he had that you would come back to him.
Ares cried in the back, poking the barrier Angel placed so he didn’t jump up front. He scratched the back of Angel’s seat. 
“We’re almost there Ares, stop being a brat.” Angel scolded as he howled. “Ares, mommy is sleeping.”
“Maybe he needs to pee.” You mumbled, keeping your eyes closed.
“Baby, we literally just stopped, Ares is fine.” Angel kept his eyes trained on the road even though at times he wanted to just keep his eyes on you. He was happy you two finally worked it out. 
“I’m sorry.” 
“What?” Angel turned to look at you, your eyes were still closed, so he was unsure if you were talking in your sleep, which you had the tendency to do. 
“For all of this.” Your eyes opened then. You saw that Angel would glance at you every once in a while. “I should have never made the decision to leave as I did. I should have spoken to you. You’re right, we’ve always been able to talk before we were together and nothing should have changed that. I always wanted a life with you and I threw it away.” Your eyes began to well up with tears, a few already escaping. “Thank you for not losing hope. I lost hope. I found out I couldn’t be pregnant, tried to build up the courage to tell you, assure you everything was going to be okay. Then I saw you with Adelita and the only thing I can think about was, you can have that family and even if it’s not with me, as long as you did I was okay. All I could think about was how an amazing father you would be.”
Reaching over to the console where Angel’s hand rested, you took his hand in yours. “I could never be selfish with you Angel and I thought I was giving you what you wanted. I was so blinded, so overwhelmed by the whole situation that I never stopped to think of talking to you.” Placing a kiss on the back of his hand. “I know it’s going to take some time for you to trust me, but I will never leave you again. I love you too much for that and these last few months have been miserable without you. I don’t know how to live without you either.”
Angel saw the exit for the rest stop and exited, parking at a secluded area. It was three in the afternoon, but he was thankful that this rest stop was not full of people. You weren’t sure why Angel pulled over, but you just watched as he exited the car. You figured he may have had to use the bathroom or something. Ares followed Angel from window to window. 
“It’s okay bubba, I think Daddy just has to pee.” You tried to ease Ares’ anxiousness.
Your door opened and you were slightly startled. Angel unbuckled your seatbelt.
“Angel, what,” before you could finish your sentence, Angel wrapped his arms around you, burying his head at the nape of your neck. You wrapped your arm around him as well.
He pulled away, and there were tears in his eyes. “I honestly thought I lost you. You’ve been the one constant in my life and knowing that you walked away from me because of an assumption, it fucking hurt. But I’m willing to work on us because I can’t let you go. I’m not going to lie and say I’m not hurt, I was. But I love you baby, I don’t know what I’d do without you.” You wiped the tears that escaped his eyes. “It’s not about me, at least not entirely. But I told you, I’m not your father and I’m not going to walk away.”
“Angel, I want us to be together. I will communicate better with you, I just want us to address this because I feel like we never did.”
“To be honest baby, I just thought you’d immediately want to come home as soon as you saw me.”
You laughed. “I was tempted, but I still wasn’t thinking clearly.”
“Yeah, you really fucking weren’t.” Angel took out a cigarette, placing it in between his lips. “You need to use the restroom, or we good to go?” 
“Bathroom break, walk Ares a bit, he’s getting antsy.” 
“Yes ma’am.” He dropped a quick kiss on your lips and watched as you walked away, making sure you were safe. He opened the back door, blocking it just in case Ares immediately jumped out.
Angel was glad you two worked it out. For a moment, he did lose hope, no matter how confident he was. When you changed your number, it hit him then that you were truly trying to cut him off. You wanted nothing to do with him and he couldn’t live with that. You’ve been his life for greater than a decade and you decided to leave, with no real explanation. His insecurities came rearing its ugly head to the surface, but he pushed them down since he knew for a fact it wasn’t him. You didn’t leave because of him and somehow, he was confident in that. He knew you. 
It was something else.
“You want to switch off baby?” You questioned as you walked back to him, wrapping your arms around him as he leaned against the car, smoking. 
“No, sit your cute ass beside me and let’s go home.” Angel smacked your ass making you shriek.
You laughed and slid back inside the car. You pet Ares and gave him a quick kiss. 
“We’re almost home, baby.” You gave Ares a quick hug. 
“Yeah, we are.”
You couldn’t wait to be back home. 
You fell asleep once again. When you finally came to, you were outside of Angel’s apartment. It was almost nine in the evening when you guys arrived thanks to good ole California traffic. You took Ares while Angel took your things to his apartment. Ares did his business before you both followed Angel up. For a brief moment, you were afraid to go inside Angel’s apartment, not knowing what to expect. 
It was your first time back in months and you had all these irrational thoughts in your mind. You pushed them away, reasoning they were irrational thoughts for a reason. 
Walking in, everything was the same. Pictures of you two were all over the apartment, your shoes that you forgot to grab months ago were still by the door next to all of his pairs. 
“You okay?” Angel released Ares from his leash once the door was closed. 
“Yeah, I just, it’s been a while since I was here.” You offered him a smile. 
“Everything is the same querida, nothing changed.” Angel kissed the top of your head. “Let’s order some pizza, I’m fucking starving.” He took his phone out and started the order.
You sat down on the couch, taking a deep breath and just inhaling the smell of the apartment. It was still as cozy as it ever was. You don’t know why you thought things would change, but you definitely appreciated that it didn’t. 
“Did you expect for things to change?” Angel observed you as you looked around the apartment, Ares already at his usual spot at the apartment. He knew you. You expected for things to change, that’s how it was when your father left. You were gone for a trip to Disneyland with your aunt and uncle who was visiting from Texas. Your mother chose to stay home. You were only eight years old, but it was the time things changed for you all. Your mother had moved your furniture around, for good spirits to flow in. Your room was different, it just felt different. Your mother was never the same after your father had left. It was embedded in your memory, something you couldn’t shake off.
“No, I don’t know what I expected. I’m just glad to be home.” You patted the seat beside you. “Come sit next to me.”
Angel sat beside you, placing his arm around your shoulder. He pulled you closer to him, laying his head on top of yours. “EZ, Gilly and Coco are coming over, they want to see you.”
“Now? Can’t we just see them tomorrow.” You were not in a social mood. As much as you missed them, you much rather just have you and Angel.
“I would, but come on mi dulce, they missed you.”
“Yeah, I missed them too.”
Before long, there was a knock on the door. Angel went to go open it and there they were, your favorite three Mayans aside from Angel.
“Thank fucking god you’re home, Angel is fucking unberable without you here.” Gilly immediately enveloped you in those infamous hugs on his. He lifted you up causing you to shriek and giggle. Ares came to you then, concerned by the sound you made. “It’s cool wolfie, mommy didn’t get hurt.”
“Please don’t ever leave him again.” Coco hugged you as well, kissing your cheek. “He’s more irrational without you here.”
EZ was the last to hug you. He was ecstatic to see you. He knew you before the whole MC ordeal, you’ve been a part of his life as long as you’ve been part of Angel’s. Your departure was not only hard on Angel, it was hard on him too. You were the constant in both of their lives and you just disappeared in the wind. And you cut both of them off. EZ expected for you to at least keep talking to him, but you didn’t. 
“Don’t leave us again.” EZ whispered into your hair as he hugged you.
“Never again.” You replied as you pulled away, smiling at him. “Alright troublemakers, catch me up.”
You all sat down in the living room as they all caught you up with the latest happenings. The pizza came and paused the conversation otherwise, the night was full of laughter and tears due to the laughter. You’ve missed this terribly. This was your family. Every minute you spent with Angel and everyone else, you just realized how stupid you were for leaving. You were always the rational one, you should have spoken to Angel instead of leaving. Talking to him was never an issue, it should have never been a problem. 
And it never will be now. 
Whenever problems arose, you would talk to Angel. No matter how uncomfortable it was, you forced Angel to talk it out since you were both adults. Communication was always key for you both and it has never been an issue till you two became a couple. You changed and Angel remained the same, you saw it now. You decided to close him off instead of talking to him like you used to. He was your partner, you would never doubt that again. 
Your time apart taught you many things and one of them was that communication as key to every relationship. This was something you always knew, but when you were hurting and feeling lonely, rationality was out of the window. 
“How was it in Arizona?” Gilly inquired. Angel never disclosed anything with them, all he ever said was, he was bringing you back home even if you were kicking and screaming.
“Amazing, especially since you pricks weren’t there.” They laughed along with you, but Angel just mildly chuckled, a sign that he didn’t exactly find the whole ordeal funny. 
“Careful hermana, Arizona is a sensitive subject for Angel.” Gilly teased. “But seriously how was it?”
“It was okay, I didn’t really do much. I was working often.” You shrugged. “I hung out with Gabriel often because a co-worker of mine was his younger brother.” Looking at Angel, he gave you a small smile. “Otherwise it was mostly just me and Ares. Then Angel the last few months.”
“You going back to Arizona?” Coco was afraid of your answer. He didn’t want Angel to transfer, but he understood if he did. 
“Yes,” you saw the sullen looks on their faces and smiled. “To pack my stuff, my contract is done so I’m back in San Diego.”
“Thank god.” All three said in unison making you laugh. 
“Baby, you didn’t tell me that.” Angel pulled you against him, happy that you were coming home to him.  
“I wanted to surprise you.” You kissed his cheek. “Surprise!”
Angel chuckled, nuzzling his nose against your hair, closing his eyes and inhaling your scent. You were back home and there was nothing more he could ask for. 
=========
You woke up the next day with Ares licking your face. Groaning, you turned inward to face Angel. You snuggled closer to him, his arm wrapping around you. 
“Ares, stop licking me.” Angel groaned. 
You muffled your laughter, opening your eyes to peak at Ares who jumped on the bed. He moved in between you two, causing you and Angel to part. He rolled, hitting you and Angel, making you both laugh. You wrapped your arms around Ares, burying your nose in his fur. He howled, moving around to get away from your embrace. 
“He’s usually a much better cuddler.” You commented as you let go of him. Ares jumped off the bed and howled at you both.
“Well, it might have to do with the fact that he has to pee.” Angel sat up, Ares running to his side and scratching at his leg. “Okay, okay, I’m going. I’ll be back baby, you want that breakfast sandwich from the corner?” 
“Please, with hashbrowns.” You requested. 
“I got you.” He gave you a quick kiss before leaving your room, Ares following behind. 
You looked after Angel till he disappeared, and the smile on your face couldn’t be wiped off. After months of hardship, loneliness, and self-hate, you were back in the arms of the man you love. You know the ball was always in your court, but you couldn’t bring yourself to face Angel. You left him, the one person he considered a constant in his life left him without much of a thought towards his feelings. But you were considering his feelings. For you, you believed that you were giving Angel a chance to have a family, it was the ultimate sacrifice for you. But you should have known that Angel wouldn’t give up on you and you were thankful for that. For the rest of your lives, you were going to prove to Angel that you were worthy of his effort, that it was you two against the world.
No more running.
Getting out of bed, you stretched, letting out a yawn. You walked out of your shared room, and did your usual routine in the bathroom. You sat on the couch afterwards, waiting for Ares and Angel to come back. When they did, Ares jumped on the couch, immediately rubbing his head against your hand as he laid on your lap. 
Angel walked in, bag in hand and sat next to you. He opened the bag, handing you your sandwich and taking out the container that held your hash browns.
“Ugh, I’ve missed this.” You took a bite, groaning at the goodness in your mouth.
Angel chuckled. “Told you Arizona sucked.”
You laughed, shaking your head. “What’s the plan today?”
“Honestly babe, I just want to fucking lay in bed and enjoy the day with you.” Angel missed having you in his arms. Even though he’s been with you at Arizona, you had this wall up and he couldn’t really do anything with you.
“Sounds like a plan to me.” You agreed, just being with one another was what you need right now.
“But, I have something to show you first.” Angel had quickly eaten his sandwich. “Finish up then we’ll go. You don’t have to dress up, we’ll be quick.”
“Okay,” you raised an eyebrow at him. “Angel, if we’re just going to get that television you’ve been looking at, can you just say so, I’ll just wait for you here and you can take EZ.”
Angel laughed. “Listen, finish your food, get your cute ass up and I have a surprise for you.”
You put on sweatpants, taking one of Angel’s flannels and slipping it on. You took Ares’ leash, but Angel shook his head. 
“Just let Ares stay here, you and me time right now.” Angel took your hand, giving Ares a quick head rub. “If he ruins one of my boots again he’s staying at pops.” 
You pushed Angel and gave Ares a kiss on the head. “I’ll see you later baby.” 
Angel opened the car door for you and he jogged to his side, turning the car on and maneuvering out of his parking space. He took your hand in his, driving down the street.
“Babe, what is it?” You asked him.
“Baby, it’s a surprise, if I tell you it beats the purpose of it.”
“Okay smartass.”
Angel laughed. He drove fifteen minutes away from his apartment, pulling up at a driveway. You didn’t recognize the house, so you figured that one of the members may have acquired a new home. It was isolated in some ways, the houses were at least one house apart, you weren’t breathing down the other’s neck. You noticed that this was closer to the freeway towards San Diego. It would definitely be an ideal location for you if you and Angel ever decided to get a home.
“Where are we?” You questioned as you looked around, no other cars insight except for the ones at the other homes. It wasn’t a surbian neighborhood, but it was definitely quiet. 
“Come here,” he offered his hand to you, making your way towards the front door.
“Angel, who lives here?” It didn’t look like anyone was living there as of right now. It was a one-story place, it was a navy blue colored home. There was a porch that could totally have great patio furniture. The front yard was huge and there was a gate that separated the yard from the sidewalk. 
He walked up to the home, opening the front door with a key he had. You gave him a perplexed look, but followed him inside. You could tell it was currently being renovated, the kitchen was done, but the living room was still bare and had dried plaster all around. The living room was the first room you two walked into, with the dining room right in between the living room and kitchen. Looking down on the floor, it was laminate flooring, a dark shade of grey. 
“Babe, what’s going on?” You were confused. Did Angel become interested in renovating homes while you were away?
“This is ours, baby. I bought us a house.” Angel held up the keys. “When I got back from my run, I was excited to see you because I just closed the deal on this house. I passed by it one time while I was taking a ride and saw it was for sale. Made an inquiry and got the place for us.” Angel walked over to you, cupping your face with his hands. “This is it for me, you know that. There’s not going to be anyone else. It’s just you and me now. I want to start our life together. I know you’re into those renovating shows, I figured this could be our project together. We can make this home into our own.” 
You were speechless. 
What could you say?
The fact Angel bought a home for you two to share, something you two could build together, it made your heart swell. You teared up, Angel was not at all surprised that you did. He smiled, pulling you into his arms, kissing the top of your head. 
“I love you Y/N, I’m all in and I’m really hoping you are as well.” Angel couldn’t help that nagging feeling in his chest. He was frightened that you’ll leave again, that when it becomes overwhelming for you again, you would make that sacrifice again and he couldn’t let you do that. You two were a team, always have been, and he hoped you realized that. 
“I love you too,” you pulled away from Angel, pulling him down for a kiss. 
He smiled against your lips, leaving quick pecks before fully pulling away. “As much as I want to kiss you right now, I want to show you around.” He grabbed your hand. “So as you can see, EZ and I finished the kitchen. It has that big ass breakfast counter with that farm sink you always fucking rave about. The appliances haven’t come in, but that’s coming in soon.” 
Walking past the kitchen, he led you down the hall, pointing at the two bedrooms, one on the left, one on the right. They were decent size rooms. There was a bathroom next to the room on the right. He stopped in front of the door at the end of the hall. Turning to you, the absolute glee on his face made you smile even bigger. This was surreal for you. 
“Are you ready?”
“I’m honestly going to pinch myself, I’m kind of in disbelief.” You slightly laughed. “But I’m so fucking ready.”
Angel opened the door, excited to show you the master bedroom he designed for you. 
“Oh my god,” you breathed out as your eyes darted to every corner of the room. There was a California King in the middle since Angel was a giant. By the window that overlooked the backyard, there was a bench right below it. There were shelves under the bench that you could obviously occupy with your items. Beside the bed was a bedside table on each side. 
“That’s not even the best part.” Angel kissed your cheek, pushing you towards the bathroom.
When you walked into the bathroom, your mouth dropped. Angel separated the shower and the bathtub. On one side was the shower and one the other side beside the sink was a soaker tub, big enough to fit you both. 
“Angel, this is insane.” You turned to face him, just overwhelmed by excitement. 
“I’d do anything for you, as long as you’re happy, so am I.” 
Walking over to Angel, you pulled him down for a kiss. He slightly lifted you up after wrapping his arms around you. 
“What do you say we christened the bed?” You bit your lip, making Angel laugh.
“No, baby, stay focused, let me show you the rest of the house.” 
Angel showed you the walk in closet at the other side of the room. He led you outside and showed you the study he built that was right beside the kitchen so that if you needed to work from home, you could just work there. Then he took you to the backyard which had a deck with a grill and patio furniture that was covered in plastic already sitting there. 
“The house is almost done.” Angel informed you. “I worked on it while you were gone, I just needed to keep myself sane, something to keep me going. I knew you would eventually come back and when you did, the house was going to be ready for you. Pops, EZ and the rest of the MC helped me out with a few things.” 
You were near to tears again, feeling the heaviness of the whole thing. Angel truly waited for you, he always had faith you were going to come back and if you were being honest, you most likely would have. You were a sadist like that. Even if it would have hurt, you would have come back. You’ve been in love with Angel since you were thirteen years old, to see where you two were now, it was insane. He would always make plans about your future together, how your house would look like, where he wanted it to be, the type of plants he wanted to plant and such, it would always make your heart flutter that he included you in his future. But seeing it before you, it was better than anything you could have imagined. 
“Don’t cry, come on, we always talked about getting a house.” 
“How did you even remember everything I wanted in a house?” The house was your dream house to a tee, though you should never doubt Angel, it just made you that more touched at how much he remembered.
“Anything you tell me, I fucking remember baby. I always wanted to give you your dream home and here it is.” 
“I don’t deserve this, after everything, how could you have had so much faith?”
“Because I know you, you were going to come back to me.” Angel gave you a sad smile. “At least I told myself that in order to keep going. I told you, you’re it for me, no one else. This is it.”
“I know, this is it for me too.”
You two have been through rough times these past few months. Your stubbornness and impulsive ways kept you away from Angel, but being back at Santo Padre, in his arms, it was a mistake for you to leave. It was tragic you two couldn’t have children, but Angel was right, that didn’t matter. If you had him for the rest of your life, that’s all you would need.

TOM HIDDLESTON SMUT
Hello! As requested, I'm back for the part 2 of Not tonight, darling. Hope you enjoy it!
Prompt: Finally having your first time with Tom.
Warnings: mentions of masturbation, sexual tension but then really fluff smut.
Like 3k words
---
It had been almost two weeks since the day Tom saw you in lingerie, but nothing happened. You only grew closer during those days, you started to talk openly about that night and when you made out, you both would get a little more intimate, touching each other in ways you didn't before. Nothing that could be called sex though, you were only getting comfortable with each other.
One day, he invited you to go on a date. You decided to meet at his house and go together. He told you to be there 6pm, but there was no traffic, so you ended up getting there almost half an hour before that.
You thought he wouldn't mind, you could just wait there for him to get ready. So you grabbed the keys he gave you and entered.
"Tom?" You called and no one replied.
Maybe he wasn't home yet.
Bobby came running to meet you.
"Hello, my angel!" You got on your knees to play with the dog. "Did your dad leave you here alone?"
But you noticed something: You saw his car. Unless he had walked somewhere, he should be there.
So you stood up and went to look for him. As you approached his bedroom, you heard water running. He was taking a shower, that's why he didn't hear you coming in. You were about to turn your back and walk away when you heard a loud noise coming from the bathroom.
Was it a moan? Your heart stopped. Did he have another woman there with him? That's why he didn't need to have sex with you, he was doing it with someone else!
Another moan. You could only hear his voice, who was she? A few seconds after, you heard your name escape his mouth. Alright... So he either had a lover with the same name as you or he was...
You blushed furiously and left the bedroom. You almost ran back to your house. But you couldn't. Why not? Would Bobby tell him you were there? That's stupid. You sat on the sofa and tried to think of anything else. But those sounds wouldn't leave your head... God, your name sounded so beautiful coming out of his lips like that... You started to picture his hands, how you loved his hands, as he touched himself thinking about you!
Your brain was now nothing but your own name on repeat, but in his voice...
"Y/N?"
It sounded a little too real this time. Took you a while to realize it was. That he was standing right behind you, and when you saw him, you gasped so loudly that even Bobby barked at Tom.
"I'm sorry, darling." He laughed. "Did I scare you?"
"No... Don't apologize." You looked at the floor. He was fully dressed now, but you just couldn't look at him at the moment. "I'm the one who broke into your house when I shouldn't."
"Of course you should." He sat beside you and gave you a hug. "I gave you the key so you could come in whenever you want."
"Oh." You hugged him back. It felt so weird... How could he do that? Act so naturally, not be slightly uncomfortable? You wondered how many times that happened before you caught him. And that thought lighted a fire inside you...
"Are you ready to go?" He asked, breaking the hug. You felt cold air hit your, now hot, body when his arms left you.
"Yes." You forced a smile.
---
You were glad you were going to the cinema, you weren't in the mood to talk much.
You were doing a great job focusing on the movie, but in the moment he wrapped his arm around your shoulders, something he always did when you sat close to each other, it feels like it automatically brought those ideas back. You just wished he would pull you even closer... Your eyes laid on his tights. You wanted to sit on them. You wanted to hear his moans without a door separating you. With absolutely nothing separating you... Not even your clothes.
You couldn't even recognize yourself. Of course you were always attracted to Tom, but you were irrational at that moment. You felt something wet between your thighs and squeezed them together.
When the movie was over, your heart started to race again. Now you didn't have the darkness to protect your secret. And the fact that you were hiding it from Tom, just like he was hiding from you what he did earlier, was only arousing you more.
All that while Tom was there... Innocently talking about the movie. Talking to himself, because you had too much going on inside your head. How could you want him so bad and still be so scared? You didn't want to try again and, like the first time, start crying and ruin everything. You wanted to be his, but there was something still blocking you.
"Are you okay, love?" He asked as you both sat on the car. "You were distant all night."
"I'm sorry." You sighed. "I didn't mean to ruin our date."
"That' not important." He insisted. "But I don't want to see you like this. What's wrong?"
"I'm such a coward." You admited, looking angrily through the car window.
"Why?" He said confused.
"Are we going to stay in this parking lot all night?" You joked, trying to avoid the subject.
"If that's how long it will take for you to tell me what's going on, we will." He crossed his arms.
"I don't want to talk here." You rolled your eyes. "Can we go to my house?"
He sighed but agreed and drove you there. When you arrived, you went to your bedroom and he followed you, watching as you removed your shoes, earings and all you could to gain time.
"Y/N?" He asked for attention, siting on your bed with the saddest expression. "Did I do something wrong?"
"No." Your eyes landed on his spread legs once again and you looked away quickly. "Everything is fine, I swear."
"Y/N..." He called again. "Look at me."
"I better not."
"Why not?"
Your eyes met. He was full of sadness and confusion... But his lap still called you. And you couldn't resist anymore. You approached him and stood up between his spread legs. Your hands were placed one on each of his thighs and your lips met his. He didn't fight the kiss, actually, he joined it. His hands went to your waist and forced you to sit on one of his legs. Since you were wearing a dress, the fabric of his pants got directly in contact with your butt and you felt his legs muscles tense a little, making you wet like you didn't even know it was possible.
"Y/N..." That was it. That was the same tone you heard earlier and started all this.
"Fuck..." You whispered against his lips.
"Darling." He broke the kiss and when you opened your eyes, you saw him laughing. "What are you doing?"
"Don't act all innocent, Thomas." You said angrily. "I heard you. I know what you were doing in that shower."
"You... Heard it?" His face turned into a mix of pink and pure panic.
"Yes." You took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I'm also very sorry you had to do that... And glad it wasn't with another woman."
"Stop. There's nothing to be sorry about, I already told you that." He stroked you face. "And you should never worry, because I can't even think about any other woman like that. It's just that... Well, I feel terrible for saying this, but we agreed to be honest with each other. Y/N... After I saw you that night, wearing that, I just... It drives me insane just thinking about it sometimes. But you don't have to do this just because of what you heard earlier. I can wait."
"It's not because of that. I mean... It is, but it's not that I felt obligated. I know I can trust you, Tom. I know you wouldn't force me, and that's another reason why I'm sure it has to be you." You admited. "But... When I heard you calling my name like that, I got so turned on. And I just couldn't stop thinking about it all night. I need you, Tom. I know I'm ready now."
"I feel honoured." He smiled at you. "But are you sure?"
"I am." You smiled too.
"You can stop me anytime if you change your mind. Anytime at all, okay?" He insisted before even touching you.
You nodded. So his hands went to your back, pulling you closer for a kiss at the same time as he unzipped your dress. When the fabric hit the floor, you brought his legs together, so you could sit on his lap like you were dreaming about all day. He broke the kiss to look at you.
"I'm sorry this isn't that lingerie, I wasn't prepared." You joked, but you were very nervous.
"Y/N." His hands travelled the sides of your body. "It wasn't the lingerie that drove me insane, it was you."
He started kissing your neck and slowly going towards your still covered breats. You felt powerful, you felt beautiful. You weren't insecure like last time. So, before he could even notice, you removed your bra and left it fall on the floor. His eyes were instantly attracted to your boobs and so were his lips. He grabbed them with both hands and kissed them passionately, it was so intense that the fire inside you started to become unberable and you didn't know what to do.
"Tom..." You called him weakly.
"Yes, darling." He lifted his head and you could feel his heavy breathing against your lips.
"I need... Something." You moved your head foward and kissed him softly.
"Take it slow, my love." He smiled against your lips.
"We can take it slow, but I fucking need you to do one thing for me." You almost begged.
"Whatever you wish." He smiled at your frustration.
You didn't say anything, just began to unbutton his shirt. When he started to help, you left him do it and focused on undoing his belt.
"Do you call this slow?" He smirked.
"Thomas." You sighed. "I swear we can slow down after this."
"After what, love?" He asked.
You didn't reply again. You finally got rid of his belt and started to unbutton his pants.
"Y/N." He stopped your hands. "Tell me what you need, love. I want to please you..."
"I..." You blushed. "I don't want to say it, can't we just..."
"No." He interrupted you. "You don't have to be shy. We have to trust each other to do this, and you're acting like you don't trust me. I just want to please you, darling. But I can't do it if you don't talk to me."
"I trust you." You assured him.
"Then take your time, make yourself completely comfortable." He held you close. "Otherwise, how will I know if you're actually enjoying this?"
You sighed. How could you not be shy?
You kissed him again, trying to make that flame come back and control you in a way that could take that shyness away.
You focused on his chest. He was so beautiful... Your lips left his and repeated his previous gesture, kissing his neck as your hands travelled his abdomen. At some point, you lips barely brushed a spot on his neck and you felt him pulling you closer. You smiled at yourself and kissed it for real. You used your lips, your tongue, even your teeth gently, and he moaned louder and louder. When you finally heard your name fall from his lips, you stopped. The flame was alive. More than ever.
"Tom." You whispered close to his ear. "Can I take your pants off? I've been thinking about your lap a lot, babe... I've been wanting to sit on it all day."
"Fuck, Y/N." He sounded as desperate as you now. "Yes, that's how you're supposed to do it."
You smiled triumphantly and stood up so he could take his pants off. He sat down again and you watched his thighs a bit, but there was something else now, that called even more attention. There was something huge in his underwear. Huge and hard. You didn't know how long you stood there starring, but when Tom adjusted himself in bed, you woke up and looked at his face.
"Are you okay?" He asked again.
"I am." You smiled at him. "I just... You're so beautiful."
"Have you seen yourself?" He laughed.
You shrugged.
"Don't you dare." He raised his eyebrows. "Come back here."
You walked towards him, but didn't touch him yet, he grabbed both your hands and looked you in the eyes.
"Y/N... I've been wanting you so bad for so long." He admited. "And you know why I still don't want to rush things? Because you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and I don't want this moment to ever end."
"I love you, Tom." You smiled and kissed him softly.
"I love you too." He said as his hands left yours and met your back again.
You grabbed his shoulders for support and climbed on his lap. As you started to deepen your kisses, he pulled you closer and closer, until his hardness gently brushed your underwear. You moaned instantly when it did.
"I need you, Tom." You said moving your hips back and forth so you could get that feeling over and over again. Your movements were painful for him, but he needed to control himself.
"Are you ready?" He asked stroking your thighs.
"I'm fucking soaked." You sighed frustrated.
"I love how comfortable you got." He laughed. "Someone here has got a dirty mouth, don't we?"
"Wasn't I like this in your shower ealier?" You smirked.
"I could never imagine how perfect you are." He held your waist and removed you from his lap, laying you down next to him and positioning himself above you. "May I see how soaked you are?"
You spread your legs a little and nodded. He removed your underwear and bit his lip.
"You really are..."
"Wet?"
"No, beautiful." He smiled and started to run his fingers on the inside your thighs, until they finally met your pussy and started to stroke it gently.
"Oh, God, Tom..." You arched you back and closed you eyes smiling.
"How does it feel?" He asked, slowly adding more pressure and going faster.
"Good. So good." You bit your lip so you wouldn't moan loudly.
"Tell me if it hurts." He asked as he slid one finger inside you.
"Oh, fuck." You gasped. "It feels good."
He continued to stroke you and soon added another finger, which was a lot harder to do than with the first one.
You left out a moan louder than you expected. He looked at you worried.
"It's okay." You assured him. "Please, continue."
He started moving his fingers in and out of you. It was painful, but nothing you couldn't take.
"I need you..." You asked once again.
And this time he didn't excitate. You felt so warm and tight around his fingers and he was so turned on.
He removed his underwear and you saw his cock for the first time. Your entire body hurted because you thought you never needed anything that bad. Your legs automatically opened more.
He got closer to you again and kissed you passionately, positioning himself in the direction of your entrance. Your arms were on his back and you kept pulling him closer, hoping that he would fuck you already. But he stroked himself a few times before finally entering you.
He did it so slowly that you felt it would never end. It was so much more painful than his fingers. You screamed softly against his lips because you felt he would rip you. He stopped immediatly.
"Don't stop." You asked.
He hesitated for a moment, but soon continued to enter you. When he was done, he didn't move. You didn't think it was possible for him to do so. You started to get really nervous again.
"Take it slow..." You repeated his previous words.
"We will, darling." He whispered against your ear. "We have all night."
His deep voice and the feeling of having him inside you were slowly making your fear fade away.
"My beautiful girl..." He said as he kissed down your neck and started moving his hips extremely slowly. "Talk to me."
"Tom..." That was all you could say as the pain started to feel like stomach butterflies.
"Tell me what you need." He continued. "Just like you did before."
"Faster." You opened your eyes to meet his.
He did as you asked and you moaned together, never losing the eye contact. His hands grabbed your hips and positioned them in a way that allowed him to go deeper and hit a spot that automatically made you scream. You fought to keep your eyes connected, but you were feeling too much at that time.
"This." You threw your head back and shut your eyes as he started to go even harder. "Feels too good, Tom."
"It does." He agreed enjoying that you exposed your neck to kiss it. "Feels so good to make love to my beautiful girl."
"Fuck." You started to feel something even more intense.
You wanted to tell him to stop, but it was too late. You gasped loudly when you came. He started to slow down.
"Are you okay, darling?" He asked.
"Don't stop." You kept your eyes shut.
"But..."
"Don't stop." You pushed him closer. "I want you to cum inside me. And say my name like that when you do. Please."
"Fuck, Y/N." He said speeding up slowly until he got to his previous pace. "Where did you learn to talk dirty like that?"
"That's how fucking insane you drive me." You finally opened your eyes, as good as it felt to have him fucking you that hard right after an orgasm, you wanted to see him calling you.
Didn't take long for you to feel him filling you and to finally see the pleasure in his face as he called your name. That scene left you aching for more, but you knew he needed some time.
He separated your bodies, making you feel empty. You accidently made a frustrated face and he noticed.
"What's wrong?" He quickly laid down beside you with an worried expression. "Did I hurt you?"
"No!" You smiled at him. "It was wonderful! I just can't believe I wasted so much time."
"You didn't, love." He stroked your face. "It wouldn't be this good if you weren't ready."
"I know. But..." You sighed.
"Come on, we both know you're brave now. Say it." He smirked.
"I want to do it all over again." You said at once.
He laughed.
"No more showers like that for you, Mr. Hiddleston, sorry to say that." You winked at him.
"I'm definitely gonna need one." He said. "But what if you're there for real this time?"
"Now?" You asked excitedly.
"Now."

Catch me if I fall
Getting hit in the face was definitely not Tin's favorite part of playing the game. No matter how many times he got blows in the head, it hurt. 
Thankfully in his memo of WWDD, or what would Domo do, getting up after a blow in the head was a given. 
So he did, with Bruno and Ante checking if he was alright, but Tin barely acknowledged them. Niksi was staring at him, a bit further away, but Tin felt his gaze as a physical touch. 
It made him nervous and he pushed flashbacks of the last time he looked at him like that. Now wasn't the time. He nodded to Niksi to signal he was alright, and the game continued. 
Tin didn't think about it again until Nikica scored his goal and he ran to hug him, and surprisingly, got to him first, tackling him in the hug. 
It was such a natural reaction and they of course, tumbled to the floor, with Niksi laughing. It made Tin join him, and for a split second their eyes met, and they must have made quite a picture.
Two idiots laughing while laying on the grass and locking eyes. And then the rest of the team joined them, and the moment was over. 
The game went on and Tin tried not to get distracted till the end. Tin couldn't afford getting distracted, especially not over a simple kiss. 
So when the game ended, he pushed away the urge to run to Niksi and celebrate with him, instead he went to Domo and acted like nothing changed. Like there wasn't a gaze of two bright blue eyes burning into his back.
It was much, much later, after a lot of alcohol has been consumed that Tin's urge to meet Nikola's eyes became unberable. 
He was beautiful, there was no way around it. With his head thrown back and laughing at something Perišić said, he had some kind of magnetic pull that just made you look at him. It made Tin long for things he couldn't have.
As if he felt his eyes of him Nikola turned his head and locked their eyes, as if daring Tin to approach him. Tin's heart sped up and his tipsy brain tried to catch up with his conflicted feelings that rooted him to the spot. 
He could just walk over to him and pretend he was congratulating him on the goal, talk about the game and unsuspiciously slide his arm around his shoulders while walking. It wouldn't look weird to anyone. 
But Tin also knew he could slip up and do something people would find weird. He didn't trust himself not to reach for him in his current state. He was still high on adrenaline and while his tolerance improved, it was never a great idea to drink alongside Domo.
So he forced his eyes away from Niksi's and turned, quietly slipping away. He needed to be alone and sober up a bit, and nobody will probably notice he was gone for a while.
He ended up climbing on the roof of a house near the hotel, and since everyone was already asleep, he probably wasn't going to disturb whoever lived there.
And then he pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lighted one up. Tin knew it was a bad habit, but he rarely ever smoked now, but sometimes it was just the fastest way to calm himself down. He closed his eyes and let the silence wash over him, trying to sort out his thoughts.
"Didn't know you smoked," A voice behind him said, jerking Tin from his peace.
It was unexpected and Tin flinched, almost losing his footing and falling of the roof, if it wasn't for a steady arm that grabbed his.
"Easy. It wouldn't do you any good to break a bone right now. We still have one game to play," Niksi said, smirking down at Tin.
It made Tin scramble back so they were at equal footing, where he was obviously taller. It gave him a false feeling of safety, as if the fact that he was towering over Niksi would make him more likely to resist him. 
Being so close to him, under his direct gaze, never failed to make Tin into a stuttering mess. He took another drag of his cigarette, and cringed when there was slight tremor in his hand, which Nikola had to see.
"I don't usually, but it fits the moment, I suppose."
Nikola chucked at Tin's statement, inching closer. Tin was aware of how little space was between them, aware of the cold air between their warm bodies and it made him ache to close that distance.
"Fits the moment? I didn't realize such a big win required the need to calm yourself down. Unless, of course, there isn't something else on your mind."
Fucker. He was smirking just slightly, knowing Tin couldn't stop thinking about that kiss after the last game. And they never talked about it after and Tin was too much of a coward to bring it up himself. But hell if he gave Nikola the satisfaction of playong him like the flute.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"No?", Niksi leaned in softly tracing Tin's jawling with his thumb, "You might want to put out your cigarette."
Tin gulped, electricity flowing through his skin from where Nikola touched him and spreading through his body.
"And why would I do that?" 
"Because," Niksi said, taking away his cigarette and taking a drag from it, "if you don't, I might change my mind about kissing you again."
Tin doesn't think he ever put out the cigarette faster once Nikola returned it.
Niksi chuckled, leaning in so they were barely a breath apart.
"You are too easy," He whispered before closing the distance.
Tin melts into the kiss and Nikola taste of nicotine and champagne. Tin curses his idea to go on a rooftop because if they were anywhere else he would pull him in his lap. Nikola tugs at his hair tie and tangles his fingers in Tin's hair. 
He knows he should probably be concerned about what Nikola did with his hair tie and how close they are inching towards the edge of the rooftop but he doesn't. For a few moments, he lets himself not think about anything.
But when Nikola pulls away, all of his worries and insecurities come crashing back, so Tin drops his head on Nikola's shoulder, so he doesn't have to face then just yet. 
"What's wrong?" 
Nikola's voice is gentle and he is playing with Tin's hair, not hurrying him to answer.
"I don't want this to be just another post game kiss you'll forget, that's all."
Nikola's fingers freeze in his hair for a moment, and Tin is sure he should have bitten his tongue before speaking the truth. Especially when Nikola moves away and raises his chin so he can look at him.
"Is that what you think this is? Only a celebration kisd because of the adrenaline?" 
Tin grimances, pulling back from Niksi's grasp. He didn't like him avoiding it with a question.
"If it wasn't, then why did you never mention it after?" 
Niksi frowns, looks like he will reach out for Tin again, but doesn't. 
"You barely looked at me the next day. I thought you regretted it until I saw the way you acted around me today. You weren't angry, you were embarrassed." 
Tin felt his cheeks heating up at that again and he cursed his inability to keep a straight face. He buried his face in his hands. 
Nikolacput his hands over his and gently pried them away and Tin found himself once again locked up in his impossibly blue gaze. 
"It was almost as if you were never kissed by another man before and, almost as a teenager you had no idea what to do."
Nikola was still holding his hands and as he said that, he interviewed them. Tin was trapped, but he wasn't so sure he wanted to run away anymore.
"Probably because I wasn't, and I didn't know wht to do. I still don't," Tin confessed, earning a quick kiss from Nikola.
"Relax. Try not to overthink it, and don't run away tomorrow so we can talk when we are sober, yeah?"
"Yeah."
And this time it was Tin who kissed Nikola, and perhaps leaned in a bit too much bc Nikola had to pull away to steady him again.
"Please try not to fall and die while kissing me."
Tin laughed and quickly kissed him again.
"I'll try. But I see I don't need to worry since you'll catch me if I fall."
Nikola rolled his eyes.
"Don't test it too much, I am not a goalie."
And what more than that could he ask for? Whatever happened tomorrow, both of them could only promise to try, and that would be enough. Enough for a start, and for a middle and end, they'll find a way.
Tin grinned
"I'll keep that in mind," He said and kissed Nikola again.

Writober day 16 - Nightmare
Dream eater.
Music: Uzumaki Toonami - Teaser Trailer Full Music 
“It’s rare for me to allow myself to dream... And maybe that’s for the best.”
Gengar is never truly asleep in order to prevent things like this from happening in the first place.
He doesn’t like the way his master’s body twitches and spazzes out, it is unberable to watch really. And the fact that he is unconscious the entire time, only make matters worse for the ghost type who watches over the body.
A dream eater is needed to put a stop to this.
Despite feasting upon the human’s dreams, none of them truly know what runs through his mind while in that state. Despite the violent twitching of his body, his eyes still remained shut- and the peaceful grin is still there.
______________________________________________________________
It is this dream once more.
The one where he is taken back into an oddly familiar scenario, yet he doesn’t know where this originates from. He can tell it is Cherrygrove’s sea coast- because of pictures he has seen... Has he ever been here in his life?
Morty can feel perfectly the sand under his feet.
It’s sunny, there is a gentle breeze, and the sea looks peaceful. In fact despite the confusing sensation of familiarity, he can’t help but feel safe- even if he knows things won’t stay like this for long.
Then the hands reached out for him from behind, getting a tight hold of his body. Trapping him in place- they were so much larger, Morty truly was unable to break free from their hold.
One pair of hands held onto his torso, another one was adjusting his head’s position- forcing him to look straight up at the sun.
Now this is something he actually remembers.
The once gentle breeze had picked up speed- the sea had become agitated and the sun was still shinning brightly, from the skies- another pair of hands was slowly descending. There was something in its grasp, that soon revealed itself to be a sharp object- one in each hand.
“If you had stayed...”
Morty can hear being whispered to him, by countless voices all at once- as the sharp object was being perfectly lined up against his eyes. They stood there- inches away from him for a moment.
Then in a smooth and abrupt motion, those nails- were dug into him.
______________________________________________________________ 
Finally, he woke up.
His eyes shot widely open- and he was immediately greeted by the sigvht of his pokemon surrounding him at the bed, they were all concerned and worried about him. But soon let out cries of relief, when they saw it had worked.
Despite that, all Morty could do was to silently stare at his pokemon.
These dreams always leave him feeling drained.

The one where they become ballet dancers
Pretentious as fuck NYCB crossover, other tags may get added later(other major content notes are not planned).
Dina Saijo has just become a primary dancer for the NYCB, putting behind her the final year of seishou accademy. Godfrey is looking for a headline about the ballet which makes them look very feminist, very quickly. Maya tendo is a world class dancer who made her name playing male roles.
Little knowlege of ballet fandom is needed- you might want to google "NYCB Scandal" if you find yourself lost.
Claudine splashed through a puddle, eyes fixed on the new york skyline as she lengthened her stride and began to fall back towards manhattan. Running was a guilty pleasure, supposedly too much impact on her already overworked joints, and the off season, without the constant training pressures, was her last chance to enjoy the city like this before the curtain raised once again.
Soon, she'd be back in class, and then on stage again, with more eyes on her since her last performance at seishou.

First back to paris, hoping to recover the person she'd been before the accademy, before the unrelenting pressure of auditions, of rivalry, of her. But there hadn't really been space there, and paris had been was a bad place to recover from a broken heart.
New york though. New york was all about broken hearts, about hurting and healing, falling and rising, shining bright and burning yourself up at once. She'd stepped off the plane for a christmas shopping trip, descended to the A train, felt the rough edges of the city- Where paris had elegant silk and polished mahogany, and tokyo bright neon and age worn maple.She heard a young woman singing for her supper on the floor and joined in under her breath, growing in confidence until it had become a duet and then an impromptu performance.
She thought she'd found a new rival there, a replacement, for something lost, and vowed to come back another night and reflect and amplify the shine of another, just for one performance.
It wasn't until later, when she saw the cautions against dancing on trains that she began to hope that it might be what she now has- a city to challenge her, not a single star, but a constellation, in which she was now just one of many stars, reflecting and challenging one another to shine brighter.
When she climbs out of the subway, she's got a smile that reaches her eyes for the first time in months.
That christmas she returned to paris, lost herself in melancholy and christmas, gave small trinkets to her parents, a CD she bought from that first woman, who'd taught her what new york meant, to her sister. On the 27th she was on a plane again without a plan beyond a return to the city where she could once again be a star. Her parents fretted, her therapist sent her along with a stern reprimand to be careful, a referral and a glint in her eye. The referral sat in her inbox- she didn't need it, she was here to become someone else, not saijo claudine, of japan, or Ms.Saijo, the lost girl with the sad smile, but Dina, another(remarkably skilled, but rust) hopeful coming into new york on a jet plane.
The first thing the new life came with was a haircut, before she even checked into the airbnb.
She walked back out onto the streets with asymmetric and far shorter hair that she would later realise flagged her as both new and getting over her first serious lesbian relationship.
Rivals appleanty aren't all the city provides- she crossed the city like a comet, swinging close to other celestial bodies- and, what bodies she orbits, in the back rooms of clubs and expensive hotel rooms and cramped apartments- but never lingering, always moving on.
She began performing in her apartment, but quickly realised that neighbours who work nights are not the happiest to be woken up by an out of practice voice, and began paying for access to a small dance studio under manhattan bridge, frequented by yummy mummies and off broadway performers. She's not ready, not yet, to shine again with the brightest stars. When their requests for advice and not so subtle social climbing become unberable, she crosses the river to broadway, first to the musical stage, her first home, but soon once of the bodies she's orbiting for a time takes her to the fall gala, and a month later she's auditioning for the corps.
A run of clear crosswalks ends, and she snaps out of her thoughts to spin right up 5th avenue, watching the sunset through the trees, and then for a final sprint across the park, walks across to sit in front of the theatre, and collapses to lie on her back.
Tomorrow, she begins her first season as a principal dancer at the new york city ballet. It's been a long five years, recovering from seisho, and she knows some of her classmates have risen faster, but she also knows none shall shine as bright as she knows she will.
She rises off the pavement, begins heading north to her apartment and nearly falls again when she catches sight of a head with a purple ribbon disappearing down to the subway. Her breath catches and she steadies herself, breathing slowly and gripping her knees. When she looks up, the memories have gone back to the past and her breathing is steady. Maya's in tokyo, living the life she's always been destined to live- lead roles, adoring fans, the support of her classmates. She's no reason to come to new york, to break everything dina has built for herself.
Godfrey leans back in his chair, looking out of the theatre across the plaza.
"You understand, this company- and my role in it- has not been without scandal?" He asks "and you understand why you're here?"
Maya doesn't relax her posture, shoulders set and back stiff. "you want me because I'm a clean face." she says "and because I'm always perfect"
"that would be a... Polite way to put it"
Maya just smiles. "And while we-I- need you to do this, you do not have free reign over the stage"
"I will bring a shine to your stage, not burn it down"
His head nods back and forth on his thin neck.
"Well then if that's it..."
"Actually, a question?"
Maya shrinks, internally scolds herself, looks up and meets his eyes- Tendo Maya does not shrink from an audience, no matter how small or prestigious.
"One of your Ballerina- A Dina Saijo?"
"Yes?"
"We trained together,"After what's gone on the last few years here, he does not need to know the full story "I wondered if she knew of my appointment?"
"I'm afraid not." He looks down "We've had to do this very quietly, given the circumstances. Would you like us to ask her to come in early? We could have her show you the theatre?"
"I wouldn't want to be a bother, I'm not even sure if she remembers me." She looks away- maya is an excellent actor, but even she can't pass off such a blatant lie.
"Of course"
They exchange a few strained pleasantries, and Maya signs a contract as a principal dancer for the new york city ballet, retrieves her coat and heads for the subway.

‘I Do Care..’
Note:This wasn’t requested,just the idea l had on my mind..
Warning:A little mention of blood but nothing serious.
Everything was happening so fast,me and Theo went from hating eachother to basically being bestfriends.But l guess that’s what war do,he bounds people.l was just another human in Scott’s pack and l just couldn’t leave them..Maybe there’s also a fact that l couldn’t leave Theo behind because l cared too much for him..More than friends do. Me,Scott and Mason were at animal clinic waiting for Liam and Theo to show up so we can figure it out who was the other half of the Anukite.l suddenly felt a slight pain on my wound and l instanly put a hand on it..Oh did l forget to mention that l was also shot in Scott’s house but it was nothing serious just a few stitches. 'Woah Y/N are you okay?'Scott came closer and put his hand on my shoulder with worry in his eyes,but before we could answer the door opened and Liam and Theo walked in. 'Did you find out anything yet?'Liam asked Scott 'No,still nothing.'Then he turned to look at me 'Y/N l don’t think you’re ready.'Then in a second Theo was next to me observing he saw me holding on my wound 'What’s wrong?'I put my hand back 'Guys it’s nothing,l’m fine seriously.'They nodded their heads not truly believing me.
We were down in tunels looking for Aaron when suddenly l felt really strange and also scared 'I must admit that laying home in a warm bed with snacks and Netflix sounded better than this.'Mason and Theo turned to look at me 'Yeah l didn’t like the idea too but l’m here.'Theo said with a smirk on his face and l smiled back.
The feeling started getting stronger with every step we took Mason was holding on his bat tightly while l stayed behind them trying to stay focus,suddenly Theo and Mason started bickering and l knew that result was the Anukite so l tried to calm them down but suddenly Theo had his fangs and claws out and he pushed Mason on the ground,and by the time l already realized what was going on it was already late.Aaron was in front of me and before l could react he kicked me in the stomach were my wound was and pushed me down,then he run away. Theo was next to Mason 'Are you okay?'Mason nodded and looked from Theo to me 'Yeah but l don’t think that Y/N is.'Theo instanly turned around and when he saw me lying against the wall and holding my wound.He run in my way and crouched down 'Y/N look at me,are you okay?'I looked at him 'Yeah l think l am.'He tried to help me to stand but suddenly l felt the unberable pain and l fell back down.Theo lifted my shirt and saw blood and his face instanly changed,he took my hand trying to take the pain away but it wasn’t working he looked at me confused and also worried,and then he looked at Mason who was standing above us 'Why can’t l take her pain away.’ 'Because you can’t take the pain away if you don’t care.'Theo looked from Mason to me with tears in his eyes shaking his hand and still holding my hand 'That’s not true.l do care.'l smiled softly 'It’s okay Theo.'That’s when l suddenly started to feel tired and l guess they noticed that 'Okay Theo we need to bring her to hospital right now she started loosing blood.'Theo nodded and picked me up.
I woke up in a hospital room trying to adjust from a bright light when l felt someone holding my hand,l turned my head to see who it was and l saw.Theo with his head on my hand,he was probably sleeping..l moved just a little to let him know that l am awake.Soon he lifted his head and when he saw that l was awake he hugged me and l hugged him back smiling.'You missed me that much?'He pulled away but he wasn’t smiling instead he had a serious and sad look on his face.He sat back down and l took his hand in my 'Hey what’s wrong?'He looked up at me 'I got scared.'I smiled slightly 'Theo it’s Anukite,it’s what he does.'He shook his head 'No you don’t get it.’ I looked confused at him 'Get what?’ 'I got scared that l lost you,l-l panicked when l couldn’t take your pain away and suddenly you started losing your blood from the wound and l just lost it.l love you Y/N and l honestly don’t know what would l do if something happened to you.’ I looked at him surpriesed 'Yo-you love me Theo?’ 'Yeah more than anything on this world.’ I smiled widely at him 'Then what are you waiting kiss me.'He smiled back and kissed me and l kissed him back,suddenly during the kiss l felt the pain l felt a little completely disappeared and l heard Theo moan a little,we pulled away and l saw a black veins dissapear from his face.l put my hands on his face and looked him deeply in the eyes 'See,you do care after all.'He let out a sigh and leaned his forehead on mine brushing his nose against mine 'Ohh and by the way l love you to.’
