baby arsenal, arsenal wfc x teen!reader
a/n: y/n is so younger me coded minus the fact that she is german
also promise more fics coming soon x
-
y/n y/l/n, the sixteen year old rising star of not only the german national team but also arsenal women's football club, had seamlessly transitioned from the bustling streets of cologne to the vibrant city of london. her two older brothers, max and louis, had started her passion for football from a young age, sculpting her into the strong defender she was today. they always had her in the garden with them having a kick about before urging their father to let her go for trials at the local club, which deemed to be extremely successful.
arsenal had scouted y/n whilst she was playing for fc köln. three weeks later her and her parents were signing papers and organising living arrangements as well as the school situation. they settled on her living with lia as well as her attending the local school in the area.
as the first initial weeks passed, her once shy demeanor melted away, replaced by a vibrant personality that charmed everyone around her. she had also very quickly picked up the name ‘baby arsenal’ from fans and soon her teammates had started calling her that too. kyra and y/n had almostly instantly became friends, pulling y/n out of her nonexistent shell within two weeks, along with victoria, teyah and laura, y/n settled in quickly.
one friday evening, y/n found herself invited to a party by her school friends. eager to fit in with the english teenage life she hastily accepted. embracing the opportunity to get to know her new friends in a different environment, as well as allowing herself to fully relax since moving to the foreign country.
ignoring the cold english weather, y/n slipped on one of her favourite backless black dresses and a pair of her friend’s high heels, that her long legs definitely weren’t accustomed to. many pre drinks later they arrived at the party at nine pm, the minute the group of girls arrived at the party they were straight into the open arms of their other friends. music was blaring as y/n slowly let herself relax, she couldn’t even remember how many new people she had met.
however, the temptation of the party proved too intoxicating, the drinks flowed freely, and before she knew it, the world was slowly tilting on its axis, spinning out of control as she succumbed to the intoxicating haze. the party deemed to be a bit boring now that it had reached past eleven pm, so on her unsteady feet y/n managed to walk out the party and onto the side walk. with her vision blurred and her balance faltering, she fumbled for her phone and dialed kyra’s number, interrupting what was supposed to be a cozy game night for the rest of the team.
"ky! oh my goodness i can’t believe you picked up, i have so much to tell you!” y/n giggled into the phone, "there were like so many pretty girls here tonight and i’m bloody freezing over here. i also had so many drinks! oh and I can't get home. oh and have i ever old you how much i love you! ich liebe dich ky ky…"
throughout the phone call kyra switched it onto speakerphone meaning that everyone could hear the state y/n was in. without hesitation, steph, one of y/n’s self-appointed team mums sprang into action. definitely breaking some speed limits as she rushed to y/n’s location, she found her disoriented but relieved to see she was still standing. quickly getting out the car she wrapped an arm around her guiding her to the
upon their arrival back to lia’s house, leah, kim, lia, beth and steph gathered around y/n, their concern evident in their expressions. "y/n," kim began, her voice gentle yet firm, "you can’t be going around getting drunk, especially at sixteen! what were you thinking?" but before kim’s rant could continue leah placed a hand on the skippers shoulder, “you're young, and we understand that, but you have to be responsible, especially considering the position you're in.” kim nodded her head in agreement before saying, “you're part of this team now, and that means holding yourself to a higher standard than this.”
with a deep breath, she nodded in acknowledgment, her resolve hardening with each passing moment. "I'm sorry," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "i'll do better, i promise."
with that kyra, stina and laura lead her upstairs. the high heels long forgotten in the hallway as steph urged her to take them off after watching her stumble around in them. laura mumbled soothing words in german as she slipped an oversized t-shirt over y/n’s head, letting the dress fabric pool at her ankles. stina handed laura shorts for her whilst kyra rummaged around in the bathroom for makeup remover.
with tender care, kyra removed the remnants of makeup on her face, before stina tucked her into bed with gentle hands. laura laid the dress over the back of her desk chair as y/n’s eyelids drooped with exhaustion, her body finally catching up with the events of the evening as she sank into the embrace of her plush duvet.
kyra brushed a stray lock of hair from y/n’s forehead, with a final exchange of reassuring smiles kyra, stina and laura bid her goodnight, their footsteps fading into the distance as they left her to sleep. alone in the quiet of her room, y/n closed her eyes, a sense of peace washing over her as sleep overcame her senses.
but just as she began to drift into slumber, a soft knock sounded at her door, and lia entered, her face lit up by the soft glow of the bedside lamp. In her hands she carried a glass of water and a small packet of tablets, her expression one of concern and care.
"here you go, y/n/n," lia said softly, her voice a whisper in the stillness of the room. "drink this, and take these tablets. they'll help with the headache in the morning." she sat down on the edge of the bed, placing a hand on y/n’s leg, rubbing soothing circles on it. “they’re not mad at you i promise maus. let’s just keep the drinking on the cool for now, okay?”
y/n accepted the water and tablet with a grateful nod, as lia got up to leave the room she turned off the bedside table before whispering “schlaf gut maus.” the door closing behind her, the room going pitch dark allowing y/n to finally drift to sleep.

protective
arsenal x reader
some family dynamics with reader and the team
———
You signed your first professional football contract when you were seventeen with Arsenal. Ever since then, your teammates became very protective of you. You were assigned to live with Lia, who instantly took you under her wing.
At the time, Lia and Caitlin had been together and became your team parents. They would make sure you’ve packed everything you needed for away games, packed you lunches, whatever parents did and you very much enjoyed the attention. Even when you went on loan for a season all the way to California for Angel City, they made sure to get Christen’s phone number to make sure you were bing taken care of.
What you hated though, was how protective they were of you and that protectiveness passed onto the rest of your Arsenal teammates and when you were called up to the Lionesses, Leah and Beth’s protectiveness passed onto the rest of your national teammates.
Fast forward four years later, you’re now twenty-one, still living with Lia, minus Caitlin. You loved to call yourself a child of divorce, the ex-couple finding it amusing.
Right now, you and Lia were walking into Emirates Stadium to get ready for the match. You walk over to your cubby right next to you other mom.
“Hey, babes. Did you take a nap?” Caitlin pulls you into a hug, kissing the side of your head. You only nod, still feeling the sleepiness.
You get ready in your game kit, putting your warm up shirt over. Grabbing your hairbrush and some hair ties, you walk over to where Steph is, sitting on the ground between her legs, where she starts doing your hair, no questions asked, on of the perks of being the team baby.
Running onto the pitch, you start to warm up, partnering with Kyra. Couple minutes in, the fans started cheering, louder than any cheer you’ve heard just during warmups.
“Hey, isn’t that the girl you’re always watching?”
“What? Like I’m some stalker?” Your eyes wide, not sure what Lia meant when she walked up to you.
“No, like movies and that show she did. What was it? Wednesday or something?”
You look up to where she’s pointing on the big screen, seeing none other than Jenna Ortega. Your eyes instantly lights up, not knowing she would be at your match, or even in England.
Before your teammates knew it, you were up in the stands giving her a big hug.
“That doesn’t look like a very platonic hug, doesn’t it?” Katie asks Caitlin.
With her brows furrowed, she walks over to her ex-girlfriend asking if she’s seeing the same thing.
“She needs a good talking to.”
“Her or the girl?”
“We’ll talk to our kid and make Leah talk to the girl.”
“Ah. Good thinking.”
Walking towards where you were on the stands, they both call you over, saying it’s time to go back through the tunnel.
“Well, those are my mums. I’ll see you after the game so don’t go anywhere.”
You give Jenna a crooked grin. She lifts a hand up to cup your cheek, giving it a little pinch.
“You’re too cute. I’ll be sure to stay here.”
“Okay. See you later!”
Giving her a quick hug, you run off to Caitlin and Lia, them wrapping an arm each around you.
“Who was that?”
“Yeah, when’d you get a girlfriend?”
Your eyes go wide and purposefully ignore the questions, running away from them.
———
The match starts with Arsenal’s possession. Everything’s been all back and forth so far.
Meanwhile, Leah makes her way to the stands where your very popular guest is sitting.
“Mind if I sit here?” Leah asks, pointing at the empty seat next to the brunette.
“No, go ahead.”
Getting comfortable, the two watch the match, not really acknowledging each other. Leah, the great speaker that she is, is having a hard time to give the apparent girlfriend of her little cub the ‘talk’.
“How rude of me. I’ve not introduced myself. I’m Leah.”
“Jenna.” She shakes Leah’s hand that was held out to her.
“It’s very nice to meet you Jenna.”
“You as well.”
“Okay. Now, I saw that you know our baby gunner over there.”
“Y/N?”
“Yeah.”
“Oh, yeah. We’re close.”
“How close would you say is close?”
“I’m not comfortable sharing things about my private life.”
“Uh, how do I put this, I have been given a job by her mums to basically find out more about you.”
“You know her moms?”
“Well team mums. I’m like the big sister, so I guess I’m trying to give you the ‘talk’ which is not going so well right now.”
“Oh! I’m sorry, I thought you were a fan.”
“It’s all good. The whole team is just very protective of Y/N. We’ve known her since she was seventeen and filled in familial roles for her.”
The two were chatting it up, Leah getting to know the actress and paying attention to the match going on. Disappointment ran through both Leah and Jenna when the opposition scored in the twenty-fifth minute.
After that, everything’s been going back and forth, not much else happening. The Arsenal fans were losing hope once the ninetieth minute came. However, on the ninety-second minute, you stole the ball from your opponent, dribbling around her. Everyone was on the edge of their seat. You kicked the ball through their legs and shot a banger right passed the keeper’s gloves, equalizing the match.
You ran towards where Jenna was seated, seeing Leah next to her, but not thinking much of it, and sent a kiss her way, making her blush. Leah pretends to grab it and put it into her pocket making you laugh as you celebrate with the team.
Just two minutes after that, you sent a pass to Alessia, who makes it into the back of the net, giving you the lead. You run up to her and jump into her arms, screaming. The final whistle blows not long after, sending the fans cheering.
Leah as Jenna to follow her as she was going to the pitch, wanting to celebrate with her teammates. You, on the other hand, went to where Jenna was seated, not seeing her anymore, when hands cover your eyes.
“I can’t see!”
“You’re so cute.” You recognize the voice making your turn to face her.
“Jenna! I thought you left!” You wrap your arms around her waist, hers around your neck, standing up straight, her legs lifting off the ground because of your much taller form.
“I told you I wouldn’t.” You let her go, but keep your hands on her waist.
“Babes, you’re needed for an interview.” You tune to your right to see Lia and Caitlin.
“Ugh.” You throw your head back, not wanting to do an interview.
“Off you go. Don’t want to keep anyone waiting.”
“Wait for me again?” You ask Jenna, getting a nod in response.
Once you leave, Caitlin and Lia step closer to Jenna.
“Hi, I’m Lia, this is Caitlin. What are your intentions with Y/N?”
“Well, when she’s done, I intend to take her to this restaurant she’s been wanting to try, but not without me, so I’ve reserved a seat for us there. And for the future, the same thing I’ve been doing which is to be patient and love her all the same, even more.”
“Woah, you’re good.” Caitlin didn’t expect that response.
“Yeah, I’ve tried to give her the talk, very likable person she is.”
“Hey, guys! What are we talking about?” You join back with them after your interview.
“Your girlfriend.”
“Girlfriend? I-uh-d-don’t have a-a—”
“They figured it out.” Jenna interrupts your stuttered response.
“Fine. I have a girlfriend. It’s so cool right!” You give everyone your famous bright smile.
Caitlin and Lia wrap an arm each around you, walking towards the tunnel.
“We still have to give you the talk thought.”
“What? No, please don’t!”

toilet paper party II a.russo x reader
some tooth rotting gf lessi fluff to try and cure all of our post game depression, with a dash of supportive best friend and arsenal icon lotte wubben-moy ofc
toilet paper party II a.russo x reader
"-she's going to blame herself again, it's like the world cup all over again." you sighed quietly to lotte who was sat beside you on the bench, both of you wincing as the ball was smacked away and saved as alessia kicked it, and unfortunately it of course had to be the deciding penalty.
"but she doesn't need to, she kept us in the game she-" lotte tried to justify but with a look from you she fell silent, nodding in agreement. the two of you knew alessia well enough to know that though she shouldn't blame herself, she already would be.
"come on, time to start damage control." lotte sighed tiredly, slinging an arm over your shoulder as the two of you joined the team for the thank you lap and clap.
as much as you wanted to rush right to your girlfriends side to comfort her, crushing defeat already plastered on her face, you knew she needed some time and space. you also knew that you needed to give the rest of the team the opportunity to build up their own relationships with the blonde, and consoling her after a loss though never pleasant was a way for bonds to strengthen.
sure enough katie and lia were quickly plastered tightly to alessia's sides, lia squeezing her shoulder comfortingly as katie was gripping onto the younger girls hands tightly as she talked at her.
you weren't close enough to hear what was being said but you'd known the irishwoman long enough to know she would be doing her very best to remind alessia of all that she achieved this game rather than the one thing she missed.
it made your heart soar to see one half of your life mold with the other so successfully.
both you and alessia had been incredibly nervous for how the team would take the two of you dating when she was signed, with only a handful of them you were the closest to knowing about it prior to the announcement of her signing.
however besides the relentless teasing and jokes about how obviously smitten you were with one another, it had been smooth sailing and your favorite blonde had been welcomed into the team with hugs, grins and open arms.
you'd both of course made a pact about how you'd interact and communicate with one another around the team in professional environments, this was your job and a workplace after all. though as said you were smitten with one another, so some days you were a little less strict about this than others.
it wasn't until you were all in the change rooms after the loss that you finally had the chance to be with alessia, a lot of the team and coaching staff having pulled her aside to try and build her back up. affirming she had nothing to feel bad over, keeping you feeling grateful that your second family had her best interests at heart.
even jonas had taken her one on one and provided some well intended feedback about ways she could approach things a little different next time, and reminded her firmly that penalties were the worst way to decide a game, she had nothing to be sorry or beat herself up for.
after all the majority of the girls, yourself and your girlfriend included, had played in the world cup just over a month ago. and without a pre season there was still a lot of work to be put in before you'd all be up and running as one cohesive unit, and now at least you had the time to focus on that if you had to draw one positive from all of this.
however the break of time in between the final whistle and the team huddle to now the change room debrief had given you and lotte some valuable time to brainstorm ways you could try to cheer the blonde up, and you almost had a plan in motion.
half the girls had already filed out of the room and headed for the bus, or were spending a little time talking to the dwindling group of fans waiting eagerly by the exit, you all had around forty minutes until you were scheduled to depart.
you didn't say anything as you sat beside your girlfriend on the bench by her locker, the striker clearly lost in her own thoughts as she jumped slightly when she felt your warm hand land gently on her knee.
still nothing needed to be said as your eyes softened and hers conveyed utter defeat and exhaustion, long blonde hair slightly damp from the quick shower she'd taken in an attempt to wash away the immense guilt wracking her body.
your lips curled into a half smile seeing she'd tugged on your travel hoodie, having stolen it out of your kit bag as you were side tracked whispering away in the halls outside with lotte.
your smile only widened when your girlfriend wordlessly dropped her travel shirt and hoodie in your lap for you to put on later, the blondes head coming to slump on your shoulder as her long arms wrapped lazily around your torso.
you grabbed one of her hands with yours, intertwining your fingers and lovingly brushing your thumb against her knuckles. your other hand rubbed circles into the small of her back and you felt her body heave a long and tired exhale as she crumpled into you.
"i'm really proud of you lessi, i hope you know that." you whispered to her quietly, sharing a small smile with katie and jen as they walked past the two of you, the older girls looking on somewhat proudly seeing your girlfriend curled into your side as you were obviously trying to comfort her.
though it also must have looked quite awkward given the striker was a good foot or two taller than you, and you knew if she stayed in this position for too long she'd be rewarded with a stiff neck and back tomorrow.
"my golden goal scoring girl." you mumbled sincerely, the blonde squeezing your intertwined hands in a silent thank you before pulling herself up. "have a quick shower and i'll meet you on the bus tesoro." the italian nodded behind her to the showers before pressing a short but sweet kiss to your lips, grabbing her belongings and heading out of the change room with lotte.
~
showered and changed you felt an immediate and immense sense of calm settle over you as you clutched at the red material and inhaled deeply, senses drowned in the comforting aroma of your girlfriend.
sweet notes of lavender and bergamont from her favorite body mist that was used every game day, as well as the more subtle hints of green apple and roses from her shampoo. due to your height difference your body was swallowed in your girls shirt and hoodie, but you never minded.
given that for the majority of your relationship you'd been doing distance in some way with playing for different clubs, only really having proper quality time in the off season or during national camps. the ease and comfort of stealing one anothers clothes had become tradition, and it felt like a warm hug from the taller girl anytime you wore something that you knew was hers.
noticing you were one of the last to leave you hurried to collect and pack your belongings, tripping over caitlin's boots she'd left behind you grabbed them with a roll of your eyes and headed out of the stadium.
you took a few quick pictures and flashed a pearly white smile with a soft thank you to the last few fans hanging around before ascending the steps of the bus.
you couldn't help but laugh quietly at the scenes before you. beth was as usual on her karaoke machine, clearly trying to up everyone's moods by belting out an incredibly tone deaf version of river deep mountain high as she danced her way up and down the aisles.
some of the team were clapping along in encouragement while others had headphones on and were tucked away in their own world, clearly reflecting on the match that had been and what it now meant for you all as a team.
though beth seemed to respect this and only engaged with those who seemed willing participants of her chaos.
"you'd forget your head if it wasn't attached to your body foordy." you teased the australian as you offered up her boots, the girls eyes widening as katie cackled beside her and she elbowed the irish woman before accepting the boots, stating over and over that she owed you one which you playfully affirmed you'd not forget.
the smile remained on your face as you spotted alessia halfway down the bus, sat in front of lotte and across from viccy and cloe. the striker was chatting away to the small group with a much more relaxed demeanor, small smile on her face as she seemed in decent spirits.
her features brightened as she noticed you making your way toward her, of course wearing her hoodie.
"i didn't know we were allowed to change our numbers y/l/n? 23 now are you?" viccy teased, instantly noticing you were wearing your girlfriends clothes as you flipped her off, shuffling past alessia and dropping down into the vacant window seat beside her.
"my favorite 23." alessia turned her head and murmured quietly with a smile, kissing your cheek fondly as she tugged your legs to drape over hers.
"whose wearing my missing shoes too it would seem." she shot you a knowing look as admittedly you might have previously lied about not knowing the whereabouts to the adidas trainers, which were a favorite pair of the blonde.
"good news, i found them!" you smiled innocently, head thumping back gently against the window as you turned your body more to the side to get comfortable.
a few more minutes of chatter among you all and everyone had boarded, beth finally ceasing her verbal abuse to your ears in the form of her singing, instead joining lia, gio, frida and lina in a heated game of blackjack.
the engine roaring to life the bus was to take you back to the hotel where you'd all pack and have dinner together before heading off to germany tonight on a late night flight.
"can i ask a stupid question?" you asked your girlfriend quietly once everyone else had settled and she nodded, her attention now focused back solely on you as she absentmindedly traced shapes on your bare legs which laid in her lap, goosebumps arising along your tanned skin at her gentle touch.
"how are you feeling baby?" you asked somewhat cautiously, knowing it was stupid considering the loss you'd all just taken. "can i get back to you on that a little bit later love?" alessia replied with a somewhat pained smile as you nodded reassuringly, a comfortable silence falling between the two of you as she offered you one of her airpods.
you both busied yourself making a shared playlist for the flight later tonight, already having chosen to sit next to one another as you'd opted to sit with other team mates on the flight to sweden, and given the late time of night you both knew you'd likely want to sleep during the journey.
you glanced down to your phone in your lap as lotte sent you an influx of messages, confirming everything seemed to be moving along well for your little plan to lift alessia's spirits even more.
you poked your head over the top of your seat and gave her a thumbs up when your girlfriend wasn't looking, and before you knew it the bus had pulled into the hotel.
you both took your time getting off, allowing those who were in a rush to hurry forth as you dawdled, chatting with lia as the older girl dropped down into the seat in front of the two of you.
but once you were finally all off and had grabbed your belongings, the plan begun to come into affect.
"hey russo! come play a few rounds of cards in our room." katie called from a few feet away once you strode into the hotel lobby, an offer which though was sincere, was also set up by you and lotte to give the two of you a little alone time.
"come on, i heard the united girls had some sort of a poker cult going. let's see what you're made of then!" the irish woman grinned teasingly at the striker who hesitated and glanced toward you by her side.
"go on baby, she needs the humbling." you encouraged softly, poking her sides as she nodded with a soft smile, kissing your cheek and hurrying off after katie who subtly gave you a thumbs up behind the strikers back before disappearing into the elevator.
"we'll do it in my room in case she comes to yours looking for you, katie just said she'll try to keep her occupied for about a half hour or so. then we have a few hours till dinner!" lotte recounted as you nodded along and the two of you headed up toward her and alessia's shared room.
again with it being both of your first away games you and your girlfriend had opted not to room with one another, again giving her the chance to bond a little more with the team and not flaunt your shared relationship in everyone's face.
"okay, operation toilet paper party is a go."
"lots that is not the name we agreed upon."
"maybe, but you have to admit operation cheer up lessi just doesn't have the same catchy ring to it."
"whatever you say wubben-moy."
~
it was down to the wire but the two of you just managed to pull it off, giving a satisfied nod at your efforts as katie messaged to say alessia was on her way back to her room as you'd planned, jen informing her that you were doing some media before dinner to assure she didn't head to yours looking for you.
"ready?" lotte mouthed and you nodded as you both watched the light click from red to green as alessia swiped her card in the door, pushing it open.
"congratulations lessi!" you and lotte both yelled loudly with a cheer, alessia jumping and clutching at her chest in shock from the sudden unexpected fright.
though once the messy hastily cut up homemade confetti came raining down upon her, her face morphed into a slightly confused smile, which only widened seeing the rushed half hazard toilet paper hung around the room as makeshift streamers.
"what is all this?" alessia asked with a small laugh of surprise.
"it's a toil-" lotte started as you elbowed her sharply with a firm look. "it's for you. a congratulations you scored your first goal for arsenal and are currently the leading goal scorer of the team with two epic goals that kept us in the game party!" you rambled out in one breath.
"i tried telling her the name was too long, but we both know how stubborn she is." lotte sighed dramatically with an eye roll making alessia laugh. "hey!" you frowned in offence, shoving the taller bruntte lightly.
"but regardless, congratulations!" you and lotte gave another cheer, throwing your other handfuls of confetti though with yours was done with poor aim as it landed in the blondes face.
"sorry." you whispered with an apologetic wince, taking a step forward and plucking off a few stray pieces of confetti which had stuck to mouth.
"guys." alessia breathed out, biting her bottom lip as a few tears welled up in her bright baby blue eyes. "hey don't cry! this is a happy moment, something to celebrate. that second goal was a worldie less." lotte assured with a soft smile.
"yeah baby you crushed it. and its only our second game! the droughts been broken and the flood gates are open and you're going to be a goal scoring machine." you affirmed, lotte nodding along in eager agreement.
"a force to be reckoned with!"
"the italian stallion."
"the russonator!"
"the golden boot goddess."
"taking names and kicking goals!"
your girlfriend let out a half sob half laugh at the assortment of nicknames, reaching out to the both of you for a hug which you both gladly allowed her to pull you into, lotte rubbing her back as you kissed her cheek.
"you're both the best. thank you!" alessia smiled, clearly overwhelmed with emotion as you reached up to tenderly wipe away her tears with the sleeve of your hoodie, making lotte aww as you rolled your eyes.
"oh and we have snacks! because what toilet paper party doesn't have snacks." lotte remembered, gesturing to the somewhat strange assortment of food laid out on the coffee table.
"lotte that is not the name we agreed on!" you huffed with a frown at her words, alessia tugging you into her and kissing the side of your head affectionately with a quiet laugh, mumbling how much she loved you in your ear.
"we don't technically know what most of it is. stina sort of went door to door collecting for us from everyones mini bar, and she said they all taste good!" lotte shrugged, rubbing the back of her neck as you all surveyed the swedish treats in front of you.
"we have a couple hours before dinner to snack, we have pitch perfect loaded and we grabbed extra pillows from reception so we can be extra comfy." you explained, alessia crumbling internally at how much obvious thought and care had been put into this.
"correction she stole some extra pillows from reception." lotte teased as you stuck your tongue out and the girl excused herself to use the bathroom, encouraging you both settle in and begin the movie.
"well hi." you mumbled against alessia's lips with a laugh as the striker pulled you into a searing kiss the moment lotte closed the bathroom door. "babe!" you laughed again as she easily picked you up, wrapping your legs around her waist as she bear hugged you as tight as she possibly could.
"i love you so very much lessi baby, you're amazing. you know that right?" you cupped her face and pressed your forehead to hers, reaching out to gently swipe away a loose tear which carved its way down her cheek.
"i can't-baby i don't know what to say." alessia managed to stammer out, still overcome with a waterfall of emotions. "you don't have to say anything, i just want you to feel supported and appreciated. without you coming on and changing the game we wouldn't have even stood a chance yeah? you alessia mia teresa russo are brilliant."
"god i'm so fucking in love with you." the blonde breathed out, eyes burning with a loving passion, the taller girl admiring you as if it was the first time she'd ever laid eyes on you.
"aw i love you both too!" lotte clapped sarcastically, throwing a pillow at the two of you with a groan and collapsing onto the bed as alessia placed you back down on your feet.
the two of you soon joined her, opening some of the swedish snacks as lotte clicked play on the movie.
"cheers to a successful toilet paper party!"
"lotte for the one hundreth time that is not what we agreed on calling it!"
"hey i don't know amore mio it is the first toilet paper party i've ever been to but it seems successful."
"alessia! don't encourage her, whose side are you on?"
"best toilet paper party ever!"
"i simply cannot stand either of you."

ᴠᴀʟᴇɴᴛɪɴᴏ ᴍᴄᴏ̨ᴜᴇᴇɴ || ᴊᴇᴏɴɢɪɴ
(sᴛʀᴀʏ ᴋɪᴅs) x ɴɪɴᴛʜ ғ!ᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀ
The ambassadors for Valentino and Alexander McQueen have been invited to attend the W KOREA November 2023 Event! How will the Maknaes of SKZ handle it?
ෆ contents: fluff, wholesome moments
ෆ word count: 763
ෆ note - hey everyone! apologies for being away since my last post but ive been busy coming up with my next move! I'll explain the details in a later post, but basically im starting a new series of small/medium one-shots going more in depth in aiko's relationships with the members. today is for jeongin and we'll make our way to channie! hope you all enjoy!
Ever since they'd gotten the news, the two maknaes of Stray Kids had been both mentally and physically preparing for this day. Both Jeongin and Aiko had been invited to the W Korea event as ambassadors for their respective brands; Aiko for Valentino, and Jeongin for Alexander McQueen. Aiko and Jeongin are very close, all due to the fact that they're so close age, so when receiving word that they'd be arriving together made them feel more at ease, especially Aiko. It had been only a month or so since she had been made a global ambassador and, unlike her older members like Hyunjin, Felix and Jeongin, Aiko wasn't that comfortable with being too much in the spotlight. That being said, when the night of the event finally rolled around, she was a little nervous.
The car that was carrying the youngest members of SKZ was only moments away from dropping the two off at the famous W Korea event. "Ai, you've been fidgeting with your dress for the entire way here, are you sure you'll be okay?", Jeongin pressed, "I'll be fine, oppa, I'm just not used to events like this." Aiko replied, "It doesn't help being in this dress.." She added quietly. The dress Ai had been placed in was a short black dress with sequins sewed in nearly every where and one thing about Aiko, is that she despises sequins. It also didn't help that it was slightly cold by the time they'd arrived, and of course her dress had been slightly higher in the front part of the skirt, exposing her legs to the cold, unwelcoming air. When it was finally their turn to step out of the vehicle and onto the carpet, Jeongin took Ai's hand gently, "Listen, if you really need to leave, all you have to do is ask alright?" He mused. Aiko gave him a gentle smile. Jeongin had always looked out for her, as if she was his sister. Taking a deep breath, they stepped out into a sea of flashing lights. With linked arms, Aiko and Jeongin made their way down the carpet and into the center, where all the other idols and celebrities had been paused to take pictures. Making their way to their seats, Aiko had spotted a few of her idol friends, such as the members of ITZY minus Lia, Soobin of TXT, and more importantly, Jennie of BLACKPINK. Aiko's inner Blink cheered and suddenly this event didn't seem so bad anymore.
It was only 7 minutes when Aiko's attention span had begun to grow thin. She started to wonder how all these people could sit there for an hour or two, just to make an appearance and look pretty. Obviously she was greatful for the opportunity Valentino had given her, but she personally wasn't a huge fan of stuffy events like this. Thankfully she had her partner in crime by her side. Jeongin noticed her little mind begin to wonder, so he'd begun to talking to Ai to keep her entertained enough, as weird as that sounds. "Wow, look at her outfit.." Jeongin pointed out, "Jeongin! Don't judge people in public like this!" Aiko tried to calm him down a bit but even she had to admit to herself that the outfit this lady was wearing was everything wrong on a fashion test. "Ai, don't lie to yourself she looks like she's wearing a curtain from my grandmother's house." Aiko had to laugh at that one. As the air grew colder, it became more prominent that Aiko's legs had been subjected to the cool air. This didn't go unnoticed, especially when Ai had been trying to pull her dress down a little more. Jeongin being the gentleman he was raised to be offered his jacket to her, even when Aiko tried refusing, he didn't take no for an answer. The younger idol was reminded how Jeongin was with her, how he cared for her. Ever since her accident in where Jeongin had found her, he'd been more protective and worrisome over her, like any big brother would be.
Luckily for Aiko, the event had picked up a bit and everyone had started to lighten up. When the event was all over and done with and they were back at their hotel room, the decided to go live on Instagram to talk and joke about the whole thing. "Out of all the dresses they could've put me in it had to be the one with sequins!" Aiko complained. Jeongin laughed along with her, happy that his younger sister was finally comfortable again.

Rose-Tinted Glasses || Profiles
Pairing: Seokmin x fem!reader
Featuring: Seungcheol, Mingyu, Jun, Vernon, and Jeonghan (and sometimes Wonwoo)
Synopsis: Lee Seokmin and Y/N don't even make sense as friends, yet Seokmin wants something more - do you? (Or are you really just oblivious to it all?)
Seokmin likes to think you do, but everyone else thinks he just sees the world that surrounds you through rose-tinted glasses. (He doesn't.)
Alternatively, in which Lee Seokmin tries to forget about you and find love through blind dates.
Genre: fluff, crack, some angst, smau, acquaintances-2-lovers, one-sided pining, some jealousy (but no love triangle - promise! just misunderstanding lmao), cold!reader, resident doctor!reader, happy!seokmin, elementary school teacher!seokmin
Warnings: Pictures of food/alcohol, Vernon is a peds intern dkfjldskfjs, implied that OC's parents are deceased and raised her little brother on her own :')
WC: ~500
A/N: A smaller crew compared to Two Minus One, but I hope you still enjoy! I self-inserted so hard, but not as reader iykyk 😂💀 But also wonwoo hehehehe 😈😚 bonus, if you caught the collision of au's 😘
masterlist || next
Seokmin: A well-seasoned fourth grade teacher and hopeless romantic searching for, well, love. He strives to stay optimistic and see the best in everyone and everything. For that reason, he arguably has the best fourth grade class, despite Jeremy who continuously sticks gum he's not supposed to chew under his desks in the back row.
Jun: The fellow art teacher who isn’t actually really good at art 💀 He shares his dinner leftovers with Seokmin during lunch when the latter rants about terrible dates and heartbreaks though!
Jeonghan: Seokmin’s best friend, wingman, hypeman – you name it, he’s there and ready (kind of). When he’s off-duty, he’s a faux stay-at-home DILF to his four-year-old daughter, Nina.
. . . .
Y/N: Third-year pediatric resident, notorious for her cold-hearted and blunt personality. People wonder why she was hired in the first place, but hey? The important thing is that she makes her patients and their parents feel better. In truth, she's just a misunderstood and burnt out introvert with lots of responsibilities weighing on her shoulders.
Hyunwoo: Y/N’s kid teenage brother, who’s simply trying to live his best life in his third year of high school and make sure his sister doesn’t die alone (or with a house full of cats).
Mingyu: Middle school biology teacher, Y/N's best friend, and a mutual friend to Seokmin. All the prepubescent teens have a crush on tall, tan, and gorgeous for obvious reasons (he’s trying to keep a distance from this image). Y/N’s voice of reason when she’s being irrational.
Seungcheol: Former P.E. teacher turned PM&R resident and Y/N’s neighbor. He’s been around a long time and helped out her and her younger brother – he’s practically family! His dog, Kkuma, is his whole world 💞
Vernon: Y/N's underclassmen and mentee and one of the hospital’s new pediatric interns. He is so incredibly laid back, it’s mildly concerning. If you pay close enough attention though . . . there is someone who pays a little extra attention to 👀
Lia: One of the hospital’s new emergency medicine interns who is overly anxious, it’s mildly concerning. She likes Vernon and everyone seems to be aware except for him. Who needs ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ when you have them?
Not pictured, but will make an appearance every now and then:
Jeon Wonwoo: The eight grade algebra teacher who Seokmin befriended when he spent a year trying teaching seventh grade social studies. Hangs out with the others occasionally, but mostly enjoys the drama from a distance. He has enough matters of love on his hands anyhow . . . 🤫

No bc I love women and football tell me all the gossip with mccabe and foord and the ex (who is she) ☕️
alright this is going to be long im sorry but get me started on woso and i just blabber. uhh most of my sources cited but this is mostly me going back thru texts from during the world cup and grabbing facts/pictures from then so a few of these claims are a little
BUT i promise i didnt make this up LOL i was Deep in google for the entirety of the world cup so i Know i got my info from somewhere
everything else under the cut bc this got SO long im actually so sorry
there's three primary people involved here:
katie mccabe: left back (but honestly left everything wonder woman). captains the irish national team. plays for WSL's arsenal, has been since 2015 (minus a lil bit loaned to glasgow in 2017). those are the two important facts here really but the below is ~flavor~.
she's 28 and 5'5 and she's a DREAM. scored an olimpico at the world cup (FIRST IN WOMENS WORLD CUP HISTORY!!!!) (THATS WHERE YOU SCORE A GOAL DIRECTLY FROM A CORNER. FIRST ONE SINCE THE 60S IN A WORLD CUP IN GENERAL!! LITERALLY INSANITY!!!)
also for context this world cup was ireland's wnt's first ever major tournament appearance. she's the first ever irish goal-scorer (of men and women!). she's amazing. here's her for arsenal:
ruesha littlejohn: striker/midfielder. scottish-irish, but represents ireland at the senior level. 33 years old. has played for a lot of teams club-wise. currently plays for london city lionesses, a second tier team, but that wasnt announced til after the world cup. her most recent wsl team was aston villa (but i mean it, she's played like everywhere lol). 5'6 if you're curious.
here's her in ireland's kit:
caitlin foord: forward! plays for australia internationally, and arsenal (so teammates with katie. this is important.) she's played for arsenal since 2020! used to play for the thorns in the nwsl once upon a time. 5'7, if, again, you're curious. she used to date a swiss footballer (lia walti, who's played for arsenal since 2018) but they broke up like six months before the world cup. walti unfollows the australian team on instragram right after they post a video of foord, it's all very dramatic (THEYRE STILL TEAMMATES AT ARSENAL THIS WHOLE TIME BTW). arsenal man, always at the scene of the crime.
ok so now you've met our main players!!
world cup happened this past summer (2023), btw. to give you an idea of timing.
katie mccabe and ruesha littlejohn dated for 6-7 years (some articles say 6, some say 7). they came out in june 2019 and said they'd been dating for three years already. their breakup was confirmed right before the world cup (like THE SAME WEEK??), in an article where mccabe was like "yeah, ruesha, my partner at the time..." very casual.
and then. in JUNE. (world cup starts july 20th!!)
foord and mccabe go to ibiza w an ex-arsenal player (jordan nobbs). who (in june 2023, not anymore) played at aston villa with. you guessed it. littlejohn. so yeah your ex gf goes on a trip to ibiza w a new girl and your current teammate, you might be a lil pissed off. maybe.
the sun's (i know, BOOOO but this made me laugh so hard) caption on a pic from the trip had me cackling:
(the title of the article was "inside the glam lifestyle of pals caitlin foord and katie mccabe after ireland’s star’s ex snubs world cup handshake." borderline galpals commentary like have writers there never heard of regular synonyms for friends?? there was also a line that just screamed please don't sue us: "However, The Sun does not suggest the Aussie forward had anything to do with McCabe and Littlejohn's break-up.")
so now we've got two exes on the irish national team going into their first world cup appearance, the captain of the swiss national team and an australian player having broken up like six months ago, and much more, but that isn't directly related to This Specifically.
while you, anon, presumably know how the world cup works, ill give a mini explainer for anyone lost: there's the group stage, where the teams get divided into groups (in this case, of four), and your team plays every other team in the group. you get three points for winning a game, one for a draw, and none for a loss. those points add up and top two teams move on. and then you go into the knockout stage, where you have to win to advance, and if you keep winning you make it to the final yay!!
but for this we only care about the group stage. and more specifically, about group B.
group B is made up of nigeria, canada, australia, and (drumroll please) ireland!!! it is the stuff reality tv shows WISH they could make happen.
ireland and australia play. it is (almost*) the very first game of the tournament (but it's still on july 20th). it is at 5am my time. you would not believe the timezone fuckery i went through that month.
(*ok new zealand played norway starting a bit earlier on the same day but that's not as dramatic sounding)
and you know how they shake hands with the other team before a game? yeah well here's littlejohn apparently refusing to shake foord's hand:
here's a lovely photo of a Look from littlejohn to mccabe:
here's a diff irish player (sullivan) separating littlejohn and foord after the game (australia wins 1-0, btw.):
and i already shared this on @powerful-owl's post BUT. here's mccabe's little sister, supporting mccabe. please note the date (july 20th) and the comment from foord (from after the game, im like 99.99% sure) asking if she wants her jersey now. me personally if i just beat my totally platonic friend/teammate on the world's stage i wouldnt be pulling up in their sister's comments asking if she wants a jersey now (also implication of the word now as in previously discussed, etc etc. this was the thing that pushed me over the edge into insanity at like 9am after no sleep)
i admittedly have not kept up to date on anything that's gone down since the world cup so it's entirely possible more has happened! in fact i would say that it is downright likely lol. i love soccer lesbians n the insane charts necessary to keep track of their relationships <3
#me? insane?#um. im so sorry guys daksjfdk i dont know what came over me#this took longer than i expected to track down all the stuff i wanted to include. here's the tea anon!#and also i may very well be wrong abt things. tbf this is from memory and i also dont follow WSL very closely#much less the TEA. but this was fascinating to watch play out live lol#anon ask#eve talks soccer

How i imagine Reader’s relationships with the “Journey Pilgrim band™️” might be like..
Tripitaka: Annoying little brother who refuses to listen to the OBVIOUSLY smart and IMPORTANT advice you try giving him… deserving MANY slaps upside his polished bald head. (Maybe one day he’ll actually listen..)
Wukong: the infuriatingly Hot & Sexy guy you simultaneously want to both slap him in his stupid pretty face, and kiss the cocky smirk right off his lips..
Ao Lia: Depressed and disassociating teenager you don’t remember adopting.. but anyone who hurts him automatically goes to the top of your list of Dead-men walking..
Pigsy: … it’s Reader’s personal mission to make this guy’s life as miserable as Heavenly/Humanly possible.. if he gets attacked you’re just sitting back in a comfy chair, and enjoying the show..
Sandy: … intimidating at first, but a living embodiment of the phrase “gentle giant” (at least to the gang) with massive “Fun-loving big-brother” vibes.. and absolutely the gossip queen of the bunch. What’s this?? You want to spill some delicious, petty Tea?? Sandy’s already making a pot.. absolutely becomes Best friends.
🎃~
Honestly 🎃... where's the lie?
These are pretty solid interpretations tbh and are pretty close to canon minus a few differences😌😊
I'm fuckin living for the first one with Tripitaka😂 I just wanna wind up and slap him upside the head SO BAD!😤😡
The only thing I'd say in addition is that their relationships will change over time😶🌫️ whatever could that mean?👁👅👁

A Perfectly Reasonable Arrangement
The apartment is quiet for a Saturday evening. The only occupants being the two Betas,you and Chaeryeong, the latter fast asleep after her draining dance practice.
The other four housemates have left to the doctor's to get Lia her check-up after she presented on Wednesday. It was a shock for the whole pack,minus you, because you are not part of the pack, to find their second eldest presenting as Omega at a very late age of 21.
Both Lia and Chaeryeong used to be the Betas of the pack, whereas Yeji and Ryujin were Alphas and the maknae Yuna being the sole omega until the fated mid week day when suddenly Lia contracted what was supposed to be a fever. Turns out it was not a 'fever', but actually a heat,the dreaded first Omega heat to be precise. What ensued was total chaos as it was totally out of the blue and it fell on your and Chaeryeong's shoulders to stop the alphas from going insane and jumping the newly presented omega. Thankfully,Yuna helped Lia build a nest in the former's room for the painful 4 day ordeal and comforted her through her company and using her fellow omega pheromones,which is known to make alphas and omegas alike to feel at ease.
Yeji and Ryujin were fretting for the remaining work week and doing everything in their power to provide for the pack, from buying excessive food to showcasing alpha typical protectiveness and territorial instincts by growling every few seconds as they heard the Omega struggling. No wonder they beat everyone else to accompany Lia to the doctor's as soon as her heat subsided this morning. You volunteered to go with them but they refused saying that Betas wouldn't understand the effects of presenting as they don't apparently show much secondary gender specific characteristics like scenting, aggressiveness or submissiveness.
It's true enough for you to agree because you were 20 and didn't show any secondary gender characteristics and were naturally assigned 'Beta' by the norms.Usually people presented from the ages of 16-18. Rarely did they not present till the ages of 20/21 like Lia. As soon as people present, they gather into packs of their own.Most packs have leaders, mostly Alphas, though not restricted to that. Joining and leaving packs was not a very big deal nowadays compared to some decades ago, especially because people moved away from their previous packs after graduating highschool or college and could not maintain being with them with the demands of life and sometimes even joined new packs.'No bad blood',they say.
What instead was a bit taboo was being a stray like you - people who belonged to no packs, the 'loners'. Being a alpha and a loner might sound cool but you being Beta, it was as if people saw you as a person lacking in many ways. Betas were needed for packs to balance out the power dynamics between the other two secondary genders. Betas were second only to alphas, were wise people when it came to smoothening out any friction in the group, had decent olfactory skills, though they don't scent their partners as much as Alphas or Omegas do.
Why did you not join any pack even though several packs showed their interest (including your current housemates ITZY)? Well, you never believed in this whole 'pack' dynamics nonsense.'Every man for himself' is what you believed in. Beleive it or not,you tried to join packs during your high school days..but you have the feeling that you never really 'fit' into them...The problem was that you typically lacked tact and didn't obey the social hierarchy of bowing down to Alphas.Your previous classmates called you a ''Wannabe Alpha" as it was a known fact that both you parents were Alphas(which was another socially looked down upon thing,but let's save that discussion for another day).
The only thing your parents apparently passed on to their daughter was their 'Alpha typical' aggressiveness and anger issues and surprisingly also the signature Alpha 'protectiveness' and a bit of strength. You had gotten into a lot of trouble for protecting your Omega friends from their undeserving and overbearing Alpha 'partners'. 'You are a mere Beta, don't act like you can complete with an Alpha with your non existent power',they had mocked you. You waited for a miracle to occur and present as Alpha to prove these douches wrong. Don't misunderstand, you have always been proud to be a Beta but it was imprinted from a young age that you were born to be a Alpha because the chances of Alpha parents having a kid of any other secondary gender was very less.
But false hope only led to disappointment, year after year. On your 19th birthday, you even took a blood test to check if you were an 'Alpha in the making ' but the results turned out to be worse than you imagined. So, you gave up on thinking to miraculously wake up to become an Alpha and do some reality checks instead. Thankfully, you made a few friends and ITZY was kind enough to allow you to live with them even though you refused to join their pack in fear of showing your non-Beta typical behaviors and ruining the pack. See, you even got into arguments with the Alphas, especially Ryujin, even though you were her best friend. Yeji was always patient and kind to resolve the pack's fights though. You didn't want to be kicked out of the pack, so you did the most obvious thing a person can do, you never joined one in the first place
"Are they not back yet? I could smell them though -", Chaeryeong sleepily walked into the dining hall,where you were sitting after making yourself a sandwich.
Sniff.Sniff.
You could not smell anything in the air when you heard the doorbell that betrayed your nose by indicating their arrival.
"How did it go?", you asked your newly presented roommate while taking a bite into your sandwich after seeing the 4 members crash onto the living room couch.
"The doctors were a bit surprised..I mean I'm 21 for God's sake", she let out a mirthless laughter with obvious tiredness in her voice, "Got some scent blockers and supressants to feel a bit of normalcy", she added.
Even with your malfunctioning nose,you could smell Lia' s pheromones from a distance..It was so sweet, like literal honey and flowers - typical of an Omega.Lia is gonna be hoarded with suitors next Monday,that much was obvious to you.
"Apparently Unnie is experiencing everything very intensely as a payback for not having these for a good few years", Ryujin chimed in.
"Hey atleast now you can be yourself at ease!", you tried to encourage Lia after seeing her worn out look.
"That's true.But I have to get used to this newfound 'attention' from unwanted people ", Lia sighed and lay down on Yeji's lap.
Oh right.One of the reasons you were so glad to be a Beta was because Omegas were never 'safe'. Especially the ones that didn't have partners.Very sad but very true.Even though a lot of laws were passed to ensure their safety,the crime against them was not decreasing anytime soon.
"Don't worry unnie,the people at our uni know better than to mess with Shin Ryujin's Omega ', Ryujin said with a menacing smile.
Yeji let out a growl at that. Weird. She even covered it by coughing.Weirder,you noted.
"So, unnie where are you sleeping tonight? Do you still want to share my nest?",Yuna questioned.
Lia looked at you and then back at the pack members.
"Could I please sleep in my room tonight?", she hesitated before adding, "Alone..."
Ohh.It is true that Omegas wanted to have a separate room, all for themselves when they weren't mated. They could not share it with other Alphas for apparent reasons .But weren't you a Beta..Still you nodded your head at Lia and she gave you a grateful look.
Ryujin,Yeji and Chaeryeong shared a room. Yuna had a room for herself and now that Lia occupied your shared room, you decided to sleep on the couch.
A week past by and still the setup was the same.Lia apparently craved to rest alone in your room and whenever you tried to enter and lay down on your bed, she seemed nervous and practically ran out everytime telling excuses till it started bothering you and you brought this up to the pack leader.
"Yeah Y/N ..Even I noticed her behaviour...Since she has presented so late and still hasn't gotten used to the attention of being an Omega ,i guess she is behaving this way", Yeji rationalised to you during dinner where everyone was present sans Lia.
"Um....I don't know how to bring this up ..But isn't your back aching after using the couch for a week?", Chaeryeong questioned you meekly.
You nodded your head while trying to straighten your back and relieve some pain.
" This won't do..", Yeji looked at the pack members and they nodded to give her the green signal to continue further.
Seems like the atmosphere was tense. Are they hiding some mutual agreement from you?, you wondered .
" Y/N ...I know this may sound very rude but....We love you and we enjoyed every second we spent with you in the house but it pains us to see that you cannot use your room..We spoke to Lia about it ..and she is apparently a bit uncomfortable to share a room.......with you ", Yeji declared looking at you with pity in her eyes.
You stopped breathing for a second.Did you do anything to offend Lia? You shook your head in disbelief.
" Um..it would be better if you could move out of our apartment ", she continued, "Actually I found- ".
"So, you guys are basically kicking me out?", you exclaimed in disbelief looking at the cat eyed girl on a mid semester evening.
"Hey, don't put it that way!", Yeji looked at you with a silent pleading look in her eyes."You know that Lia just presented and she doesn't feel safe sharing a room with a Beta...since you are also not part of our pack ... "
Your mouth was left agape with confusion as to how a mere stray Beta can cause any source of threat.
Ohh that's it .
You were not part of their pack.Of course they will kick you out one day or the other.
"But don't worry, I already found you a new home!", she continued excitedly, "Enhypen members are okay with sharing their apartment with you!"
"En- what?", you questioned,mind still reeling with sadness and confusion and most importantly,shock.
You looked at the other three girls. Their eyes also mirrored uneasiness and pity,just like their leader.
You sighed and said , trying to keep your voice neutral, " I understand why you guys took this decision...Even I didn't think of staying here forever ". Chaeryeong let out a sob at that.Yuna followed and Ryujin was for a first, lost of words and looking down the entire time.
" So, you agree to stay with ENHYPEN? ", Yeji asked , a bit shocked.
"No, I don't even know who they are... Don't worry I can find a room for myself ", you said as you stood and rushed to your room to pack and leave.
Ryujin held your hands, stopping you and said, "Hey Y/N, please take up their offer. Me and Yeji unnie talked to Jungwon, their leader and apparently they can accommodate another roommate. You don't even have to join their pack .And what do you mean that you don't know them? You have even met Ni-Ki from my dance team..And also they live only a few blocks away from us and the campus...We really didn't want to see you go...You know me,right? I love you so much but at this situation,this is the best thing to do...Please agree Y/N..you know how hard it is to find a decent room ,that too at the middle of a semester "..
You thought about what she said and yeah it did make sense..If they really didn't care for you,they would not have gone and spoken to people to get you a room ...They don't owe you that..and they still did.. However hurt or shocked you were, you couldn't disagree with her reasoning.
" How many people are there in their pack", you questioned as you sighed, giving in .
" 7 !!", Yuna jumped up, " Unnie ,I was so afraid you would fight and not agree"
" 7!! How can they live in one apartment ", you groaned.
" Two actually...3 people in one apartment and the other four in another adjacent one ", Chaeryeong said while wiping her tears .
You talked a bit more and to your surprise you didn't throw a tantrum and cause drama about betrayal like you thought you would...Part of the reason was because you believed that your friends really meant the best for you and would not intentionally cut you off.
After a teary farewell from the 5 members,you exited the apartment and entered the cab with your belongings to move in with the new pack that you barely knew.
To be honest, you didn't actually not know ENHYPEN, they were pretty popular around campus. But you didn't know anyone personally from their pack except Ni-ki, if you consider a brief 5 minute talk and introduction as knowing someone personally. But still something is better than nothing. You were even told that two of their pack members were from your major - Psychology. You were indeed an introvert and a big one at that , so you never spoke to many people unless you were forced to and that's why you didn't know.
After a teary farewell from the 5 members,you exited the apartment and entered the cab with your belongings to move in with the new pack that you barely knew.

Niki was waiting at the front of their apartment building and swiftly took your luggage from the cab and ushered you inside,while greeting you with a smile.
" Sorry to join you guys suddenly...I can move out next semester..that is in about 2 months..", you smiled awkwardly at him in the elevator .
" Hey! Noona... don't feel like a bother please..we were indeed searching for a roommate anyway", the younger boy beemed at you.
You entered the apartment with him and looked around before 6 other guys joined you and introduced themselves.
"Welcome to your new home Y/N",the blonde boy named Sunoo smiled brightly at you, quelling all your nervousness and doubts.
You smiled at them all and bowed.
You wished and hoped that you can get along and live quietly without any troubles.
Little did you know that it was indeed the starting of your chaotic journey with your new family.

I'm not sure how well received All Night Was - I only saw Redditors complain the song was mid and all the girls sang together - but I think the song is pretty nice and chill, like Perfect Night, yet less catchy and packing less punch. All Night is sadly too repetitive and lacks substance - the issue isn't IVE singing together, but rather only singing one chorus over and over. It had the potential to be better. Still, it's nice.
Other releases I've liked... I dig Wife a lot. It's fun and the English lyrics aren't as cringe as Tomboy. Sadly, I'm not sure I really understand the song.
Love Wins All is another one I really like. It's not surprising it's doing well in Korea. It's not just IU being IU, the song is really good. It's powerful and sweet.
NMIXX's new album (whose title I can neither pronounce nor spell) is on repeat too. I love Dash (one of their best tt) and Boom is really great. The album is very solid - imo their best by far (not that they have many album...). The only minus are some of Lily's runs and high notes. She has a powerful voice and unique tone, but she honestly doesn't know how to control it very well yet. Some of her adlibs seem to be too technically complicated for her. I'm thinking of some of her runs in Run For Roses verses, though those aren't that bad, but the high note at the end is a bit rough. I also wish they'd let Haewon sing more. I love her voice. She sounds great in Run For Roses. That song grew on me a lot. Even Sullyoon doesn't have many lines anymore...
Lastly, I like the Born To Be album. I'm not super fond of Untouchable. I think Untouchable and Born to Be are the kinds of songs that make Itzy feel like a 3rd gen relic when they're early 4th gen. They need to make trendier music, but those are good tracks - for bsides. Mr. Vampire is the trendiest and most refreshing of the 3 and should've been the tt imo. Songs like Dynamite and Escalator are also uninspired but they grew on me. The solos were good. Yeji's was too intense (especially because of her tone), but the chorus is catchy. Bloom was great, the best by far. Lia could probably shine as a soloist. She has a really great voice, she's pretty and she's good at variety. I really liked Mine too. Chaeryeong has really been growing as a vocalist - I think she's more versatile now as well. I loved Run Away except for the cringy beginning... The chorus slaps but the cringe English in the opening verses... Yes, but feels very 3rd gen? It works though. It's like Pop. I like it. Anyway, Born To Be is a good album overall. I've listened to it a lot.

baby arsenal headcannons, arsenal wfc x teen!reader
a/n: i am so so so sorry that this isn’t an actual fic but i’ve left yous without anything for like two weeks so take this 🥰🥰🥰
warning - this isn’t proofread so pls ignore any mistakes x
-
1. she is maths no.1 public enemy - literally will stare at her homework for two hours instead of actually trying it. then the next day at school she gets in trouble for not doing it but she genuinely couldn’t care less because she’d rather have them email lia than try do trigonometry
2. her tiktok reposts and twitter likes have fans speculating like there is no tomorrow - she’s definitely liked transfer rumours on twitter before as well as reposting things she shouldn’t be and she reposts things that happened way back way but people think it’s about her current situation, leading to some very concerned fans in her tiktok comments and instagram requests.
3. baby girl has stina and laura wrapped around her finger - she’s cold? stina’s gonna give her the jumper she’s wearing. she’s hungry? laura’s up to make her something to eat, even though maus is perfectly capable of doing it herself. they’re basically on her beck and call.
4. she always curses out players in german on the pitch - when she was younger her brothers taught her the art of cursing people out in german then speaking in english to confuse them. however this did not work when arsenal played chelsea and she went flying after a tackle from nüsken, who very obviously understands german, leading to maus getting a yellow.
5. which leads to the next point which is that she gets her fair share of yellows - giving katie a run for her money, although most of hers come from back chatting the ref and not from actual gameplay, although she isn’t afraid to put in a heavy tackle here and there.
6. her + kyra = little shits on steroids - on the first media day of the season they decided to put y/n and kyra in three of the same interviews, let’s just say absolutely nothing productive happened until caitlin had to come in to do an interview with the two of them.
7. she’s lia’s no.1 reason for her early gray hairs - firstly maus is awful at answering phone calls, so if she’s out with her friends and lia needs something best believe she cannot contact her. secondly the amount of emails the school sends her may send lia into overdrive, she genuinely couldn’t care less if y/n didn’t do her homework as long as she’s passing all her classes, which she is (besides math but lia doesn’t need to know that.)
8. y/n has the best outfits - her instagram feed is filled with mirror pics of her outfits and they’re all just so good!!! she’s known for her fashionable clothes throughout the woso community.
9. she gets really really really nervous when doing interviews by herself - she already refuses to do orals in school because they stress her out too much, so after her first full 90 for arsenal she gets called to do an interview and poor girl is swaying from side to side the entire time, stumbling over her words and overall looking like a deer caught in headlights.
10. the first time she brings a girl or boy home lia gets a group of the girls to pretend they’re over for dinner without telling y/n - so then when y/n gets home she sees most of her teammates there and very hastily shoves her ‘friend’ upstairs, before going over to the girls who all tease her. then when she’s upstairs in her room with her ‘friend’ they all take turns coming upstairs to walk past the closed door to hear what they’re talking about.
11. she is a hugger of note - the first time she meant all the girls minus her shy demeanour she hugged every single teammate she met. she is also a massive cuddler, on the team bus she makes ours sit in the window seat (much to the brunettes complains) then uses kyra as a pillow which 1. forces kyra to be quiet because she doesn’t want to wake y/n and 2. she can’t move around the bus as she wants deciding to annoy everyone which the other girls are very thankful for.
12. her first crush on a girl was laura freigang, who she had seen around the german youth camps before - she even told her parents at one stage that she was going to go to penn state just like lau did but that phase was short lived when she then developed a crush on one of her teammates in her age group instead.
13. in another life she’s a dj who lives in ibiza - literally no explanation needed, she truly is a party animal at heart and would go to all the festivals and raves possible during the off season.

Thanks for the tag, @africanmorning!
Favorite Pseudonym: Das Energi is the one I have used for 20+ years. I even own dasenergi.com
Time Zone: Pacific
Star Sign: I am a Pisces. Here is the whole chart:
Favorite Holidays: Christmas Eve & Halloween. I’d like to celebrate Groundhog Day more, send Groundhog Day cards, have a Groundhog Day party.
Last Meal: Geronimo and I went to Modica’s Deli in Long Beach and I had a cold veggie sandwich with fresh mozzarella, roasted bell peppers, tomato, lettuce, pesto, oil & vinegar, and pickles. And I drank an iced mocha latte. I really should have breakfast.
Current Favorite Musician: I have been listening to @autumnluzarts a lot lately.
Last Music Listened to: Eartha Kitt, “Under the Bridges of Paris”
Last Movie Watched: Godzilla Minus One
Last TV Show Watched: For All Mankind
Last Book Finished: Francesca Lia Block, “The Hanged Man”
Last Book Abandoned: Do I ever truly abandon any book I haven’t finished yet? I fully expect to finish all of them some day. But the most recent book that has been sitting on my nightstand unread for weeks is, “The 21 Lessons of Merlyn: A Study in Druid Magic & Lore”
Currently Reading: Umm… “The 21 Lessons of Merlyn: A Study in Druid Magic & Lore”?
Books/Shows/Movies you want to get around to:
Books - Oh, I have several on my to-read pile for 2024. Partciularly a few gay romance novels. I also want to re-read all of Francesca Lia Block's Weeztie Bat books. But I promised @teenakp I would read Terry Pratchett’s “Nation” next.
Shows - I am eager to watch Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij’s “A Murder at the End of the World”.
Movies - I am planning to rewatch all of the original Sean Connery James Bond movies. Followed by all the Indiana Jones movies. Or maybe it's the other way around.
Last Thing Researched: I looked up the lyrics to Eartha Kitt’s “Under the Bridges of Paris”. Does that count?
Last Thing Learned: Ummm… that “Under the Bridges of Paris” is totally about having sexy times under the bridges of Paris, just as I expected it to be. (It was the B-Side to Eartha Kitt's “Santa Baby” 45 RPM vinyl.)
Favorite Online Fandom Memory: Umm… Neil Gaiman reblogging one of my posts? Leslie Jordan congratulating me on publishing my first book?
Favorite Old Fandom You Wish Would Have A Resurgence: I expect I’ll probably rewatch “The OA” after watching Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij’s “A Murder at the End of the World”. It's been awhile since I rewatched it. I wonder what it will be like this time.
Favorite Thing You Enjoy That Never Had an Active or Big "Fandom" But You Wish It Did: Heck, I am surprised that “For All Mankind” even has a small fandom at all. Most things I like aren't very popular. But two shows that come to my mind. Back in 2020 Alex Garland had a great sci-fi show on Hulu called “Devs”. It deserved a bigger following when it aired. And more recently, there was a great French/Japanese show on Apple TV based on a manga about wine tasting called “Drops of God”. I wish it had a bigger following… I wanted people to talk to about it when the new episodes were airing weekly.
Tempting Project You Don't Have Time For: I know I have a follow-up to my book “Rewrite the Stars” inside of me. Like a do-over. I put so much of myself into that one and it never caught on. I had higher hopes for it. As an artist I try to push on the accepted norms of our medium — new ways of thinking, seeing, experiencing. But society doesn’t know how to approach things it doesn’t understand. Constantly feeling misunderstood isn’t very motivating. Why put so much time and effort into something that no one will read? The follow-up lives in my mind, and right now that is good enough for me. Who has time to write another book? I'd rather sleep and dream.
Tempting Project I've Given In to: Out with the old, and in with the new. I have been going through the house and garage getting rid of things I haven't used or doesn't resonate with me anymore. For example, I donated seven boxes of books to the Friends of the Library. But there is still a lot in this house I need to sort though. My current project is the garage. Next will be the closet.
Tagging: @persepinesascent and @teenakp if you are in the mood for it.

Choosing the frame.
After the dust settles and the wounds close, everyone contemplates what they can and should do now.
The Elder Brain proves to be a formidable foe, but not all is lost.
Or is it?
Set between Empty Prayers and Interlude. (I swear I'm better at chronological order on AO3)
The Dark Urge x Enver Gortash.
Characters: Dark Urge (Nemo), Enver Gortash, Isobel Thorm, Dame Aylin, Wyll Ravengard, Ulder Ravengard, Karlach, Gale, Astarion, Jaheira, Halsin.
POV Gale.
They’re the pitiful bunch survived in the latest attack of prior unknown enemy; harpers, refugees, flaming fists and several cultists who surrendered the moment they saw the Elder Brain.
And what a sight it was, a gigantic monstrosity of the flesh floating in the air, commanding the army of tadpoled marionettes to march on Baldur’s Gate.
And they did that, Nemo and Gortash. It was their plan what went astray.
Gale contemplates if there is any future for them yet, or this is it.
The end.
The drastic failure.
He would still have his backup plan to use the orb as a weapon of mass destruction to deal with the brain, if not for the knowledge newly aligned with them tyrant brought.
What it would save no one. What it would simply turn every illithid-infested person into a mindflayer.
Mystra didn’t care for the fate of all these people; she never cared for the safety of the Sword Cost.
All she ever cared for was the threat the Crown of Karsus posed to her.
And if this isn’t a waking up call.
Gale feels...
He isn’t sure how he feels. Devastated, probably? It’s not every day you find out your goddess and former lover is not what you imagined her to be.
It’s not every day you get disappointed in your god.
And to think he was ready to...
Unbelievable.
But again, all things considered, maybe he is where he is supposed to be; in a circle of kindred spirits and minds. Most of them have some inner or outer struggle going on with one deity or another, even the newcomer.
Especially the newcomer.
It’s not every day one meets a fellow Chosen, and not every day he finds out one of his closest companions is one as well. Or was. They all are falling from grace, aren’t they?
The fact what Nemo and Gortash are involved is not as surprising to Gale as one might have expected it to be; Gale is not a stranger to inner turmoil and deep longing what separation from a lover can bring.
He expected Nemo to have a tragic backstory akin to his - minus the goddess part – but what he didn’t expect was how utterly mutual this romantic obsession of his was. At least that’s the picture he drew for himself after hearing of what have passed in the illithid colony.
And even now Nemo and Gortash are the last to emerge to the small crowded room where Duke Ravengard is holding a counsel.
They look rattled, two disgraced chosen of evil gods, and they also stick close to each other, as if the entire world is their enemy.
It stings a little, Gale would hope Nemo to know he can always lean on him, especially after all support Nemo gave him. The unconditional, nonjudgmental way Nemo has been treating him and his condition got to his heart, as well as Nemo’s begrudgingly good deeds.
And now, once Gale knows the truth about Nemo’s upbringing, he is even more amazed of his friend’s defiance, of his proud and unyielding stance. To defy one’s god, to defy one’s creator...It is not a small deed.
“We need to decide our further actions,” Duke speaks. He has noticed the latest addition to the counsel and, from the slight frown on his face, does not look happy about it. But Wyll, who sticks close to his father, smiles to Nemo and gestures for him to come closer.
Nemo smiles back, warmer than many would expect, definitely warmer than Gortash would expect, if the flash of surprise over his features is of any indication.
“And why are you the one to speak?” the voice rings out from the crowd. Gale knows it’s one of the tieflings before he turns; the girl Nemo saved from the towers, Rolan’s sister. Lia stands tall and proud and refuses to lower her gaze. “You didn’t do anything to stop it from happening, did you?”
Wyll whips his head, ready to respond, but his father ushers him to stay quiet.
“That is true,” he agrees. “And I am in no ways diminish the heroic deeds of the ones who stood against the evil, even if they have failed to defeat it just yet.”
“Well, if so, when let them speak,” Lia insists. “Here they are! Nemo-“
“Oh, sure,” one of the fists argues back. “Let speak the one who started this all mess, that’s a great idea. He is not a hero of this story, but a villain. Another spawn of an evil god-“
“Don’t remember you saving our lives, dipshit,” Cal chimes in. “I do, however, remember you whimpering like a little baby at the first sight of the shadows.”
“Enough,” the duke’s voice rises to the commanding tone and, miraculously, they do quiet somewhat. “Why don’t we let the man speak for himself? A hero or not, it is yet to be decided, but his assistance will be irreplaceable in the battle to come.”
“What battle?” one of the harpers argues. “Where will be no battle, this will be a slaughter-“
“Do not lose hope,” Isobel tries. “The situation is looking grim, but I’m sure together we will find a way-“
“Not really taking advice from a daughter of Ketheric Thorm,” one of the Flaming Fists spits. “When were you going to tell us all of this is because of you, eh, Isobel?”
Nightsong steps forward.
“One more word out of your mouth and I will rip that tongue out-“
“How about we all take a deep breath?” Wyll, a poor soul dedicated to diplomacy, tries. “Listen to the ideas the few of us have and not spend time in endless squabbles? We all are upset, scared, shaken by that has happened, but blaming each other is not a way to fix it. And we need to start fixing it right now, before it’s too late.”
“Listen to Wyll Ravengard,” Nemo finally manages to get to the small stage in the middle of the room and, with Wyll’s help, climbs it. “And also listen to me, for I am one of the very few people who knows what we’re dealing with. It is true what I am a child of Bhaal,” he meets the gaze of the fist who called him out before and the man lowers his gaze first. “My involvement in the plot what lead us to where we are now is also true. But,” he raises a hand to stop several people from speaking at once.
“I am not here to apologize. Yes, you heard me; no apologies will be said today, for none of you know what it is like to have a father, a god, such as mine. None of you are in the position to judge me. And if, per chance, you decide to judge me, where will it lead you? Nowhere, I say, for you need me to survive this mess. You need me and you need my close ally Lord Enver Gortash,” several heads turn and said man tips his head slightly and proceeds to the stage. Gale hears Karlach curse under her breath.
“It is true what him and I created this plot, under the command of cruel gods you know as The Dead Three,” Gortash, on his part, has no trouble climbing the stage with no help needed. “Ketheric was the Chosen of one of these gods: Myrkul, Lord of Bones.”
“It was with Myrkul’s power,” Gortash smoothly joins, hand coming to rest on the side of Nemo’s back naturally. Gale hears Astarion huff and turns just in time to see the man roll his eyes.
Interesting.
“What the beloved Isobel Thorm was returned back to us,” the lord smiles and alright, he is not without the charm of his own. Wyll looks mildly annoyed by his interference, but since it was Nemo who quite literally asked the man to join, does not argue against it.
“Ketheric Thorm was a man who sold his soul more than once, first to Shar, and then to his last master. And all,” a dramatic gesture. “In the name of love.”
“I didn’t ask for that,” Isobel tries, even thought everyone knows she doesn’t need to defend herself. Yet some part of her seems to believe she has to, for in some awful, twisted way the cursed lands around them is her fault.
“It is not your fault your father’s grief changed him so,” Aylin tries, but even Gale sees her words give little comfort.
“Let’s not condemn the children for the sins of their fathers, shall we?” Nemo chimes in. “No one is blaming Isobel, we all know she was the one who singlehandedly kept the Last Light protected from the Shadow Curse.”
“That’s true! She saved us from the fate worse than death!”
“She defied her father!”
Isobel smiles weakly, grateful. Nemo smiles back.
“And now,” he looks around; making sure everyone is paying attention. “Ketheric Thorm is dead. And the age of the shadows is over,” a loud cheer goes through the room like a wave. Gale catches Lord Gortash smile like a cat that just got the cream.
“We have defeated the Curse,” Nemo continues. “Our friend Halsin ventured into the lands so dark and lifeless very few get to tell a tale about them, and returned victorious. Because of him, because of everything he did, everything every single one of you, Flaming Fists, Harpers, the brave souls who dared to walk into the deepest depths of Shar’s temple did – we have defeated the curse.”
Aylin beams.
“Do not let the looks deceive you,” she booms. “Do not let the cursed bloodline running in my friend’s blood discourage you. For when I gaze at him I see an ally. I see a man who looked into the face of the abyss and refused to succumb. I see a man who brought the light into the darkest corners of the darkest of places. I see a man whose cruel father put him against his own sister, and I see a man who was worthy of the sacrifice,” a sharp piercing look into Gortash’s direction. “Unknown to many. You look upon those men, those former chosen of gods, and see villains. I gaze at them and see hope. I see conviction what no matter how dire things might look, there’s still a way out. For if the worst of us are capable of selfless deeds, when what are the best of us are capable of?”
“Did she just call me ‘the worst of us’,” Gale can imagine this is what Gortash murmurs into Nemo’s ear. Nemo smirks.
“She might have meant Ketheric, you’ll never know,” might as well be his smug reply.
“I’m pretty sure she meant me.”
“Relax, a daughter of a goddess just praised your deeds.”
“I can see why Ketheric hated her so much.”
“Well, Ketheric’s opinion notwithstanding, we really need her support. You’re lucky she likes me.”
“I can’t see why.”
“I will tell you what we’re capable of,” Aylin continues, oblivious to the conspicuous whispering the two men are having. “Anything. Together we can do anything we put our mind into, defeat any evil. The Elder Brain is powerful. It is an enemy we have never fought before. But it, as any other enemy, can be defeated.”
“Indeed it can,” Lord Gortash raises his voice once again. “First step to defying the enemy is knowing the enemy, and this is where I come into the view. Some of you know me, many of you distrust or even hate me, but I assure you this will come to pass quite soon. For you will have no better ally and no more knowledgeable advisor than me, unless, of course, you count mindflayers, and they’re of uncooperative kind. Luckily for you, I,” a generous and quite dramatic gesture. “Am willing to help.”
“I know the Elder Brain and know how it operates, and trust me when I say you’ll need all the allies you can get if you even hope of winning this battle. An Elder Brain is supremely powerful organic calculator, a mental machine able to process a vast number of simultaneous thought processes. It is always a hundred moves ahead, and cannot be surprised except by a sudden confluence of unexpected variables,” he smiles, observing the silence what has fallen over the room.
“But luckily for us, we are those variables. We are the most unlikely of people to work together, the least possible allies, and this is why it might just work. The Elder Brain is the entity beyond mortal comprehension, but it doesn’t mean it cannot be subsided. It has been done once already, in a calculated plan to overpower it. And it did work, if for a while.
The reasons for why it worked and why it fell apart are irrelevant now, but I assure you all we need is ourselves and the minds we bear. The Elder Brain has no weakness but the unexpected, and it means we need to be just that – unexpected, unpredictable, completely out of any line and form of rationalization. And what is more unexpected than yesterday’s masterminds turned today’s saviors? What is more unexpected than all of us, working together towards one common goal?
What goal, you may ask me. Survival. Such a simple word, isn’t it? And yet it drives us all, this deep-rooted need to overcome what comes our way. To live, to see the other day. I don’t know about you, but I am not yet ready to die. I expect to have a long and fulfilling life. And what about you?”
He looks from face to face, as if capturing them in his mind, cataloguing and putting into categories.
A clever man indeed, Gale has to admit, and good with words. Probably good with his tongue too, if Nemo’s blind loyalty to him is of any indication.
“Do you want to die? Are you ready to lay down your weapons and simply give up? I find it hard to believe. No, you,” he gestures at the harpers. “Who fought the losing battle against the undying enemy? Or you,” another one, this time at the fists. “Who fought to protect the innocents despite all odds being against you? Or even you,” now at the group a part of which Gale himself is. “A bunch of damned and unlucky, happened to be at the wrong time at the wrong place. Tadpoled, frightened, hunted for life, but fighting on. Are you willing to die? Or are you going to stand up with me and see the other day?”
Some whispers, someone cheers.
“Are you going to do the impossible or will you give up before even trying?” more cheers.
“Will you get your lives back or will you quit?” at this point the cheering is almost deafening.
“A good speech,” Jaheira comments. “Too bad he doesn’t mean a word he says.”
“He doesn’t,” Karlach agrees with a scowl. “But damn if they’re not eating from his palm already. I’d thought it would take more for him to trick them all. Turns out I was wrong.”
“They’re scared,” Halsin tries. “They’re lost. They have entered one battle and were thrown into another, so much bigger than everything they have always known.” The druid frowns. “And he is using that against them.”
“Well, whatever he is doing,” Astarion chimes in. “It seems to be working. And damn if I am not a little inspired myself.”
“I know what you mean,” Gale agrees. “I can see how Gortash managed to achieve the heights he did, if these are the kind of speeches he gives.
“Don’t let him get to you,” Karlach begs. “It’s bad enough he has Nemo wrapped around his finger, worse yet the entire crowd of people who should rightfully hate him.”
“To be fair, he did save Nemo’s life.”
Karlach scoffs.
“And I still don’t get why,” she runs her hands through her hair. “He had nothing to get out of that, nothing.”
Halsin coughs.
“Is it possible he did it out of...well, the affection he holds towards Nemo?” he tries. “They do seem to be locked together quite tight.”
“Don’t remind me,” Karlach sighs. “I can’t stand to watch how ridiculously proud Nemo looks right now. Damn straight swooning at the spot."
“What can I say, Nemo knows what he likes. Or, well, who he likes.”
“His taste is shit-“
°°°
“Wow,” Nemo laughs. “I haven’t had this rush of adrenaline since Methistar. Good job.���
Enver smiles and moves to catch Nemo’s face into his hands. It was an efficient speech, all things considered, even though most of it Enver just bullshitted though, adding there and there the facts he has learned about the Brain.
But it seemed to work, the general gloomy mood lifted, and, more importantly, it gave him a break to collect his thought and think ahead.
With Bane and the Church out of picture, he required a lot of thinking.
Rewiring the entire strategy will not be the easiest task, but Enver is up to it. If anyone can do it, it’s him.
But that, too, can wait.
“Still got it in me, huh?” he chuckles, though he doesn’t really need any conformation, not with the way Nemo stares at him, wide eyed and entirely lovesick.
Here, that’s better. His sweet, dear, bloodthirsty partner.
And to think Enver almost lost him.
“You were excellent,” Nemo all but purrs, leaning into the touch. “As ever. Never change,” he leans for a kiss, planting the softest, feather-light one up Enver’s mouth.
Then, as quickly as he leaned in, he suddenly pulls away.
Enver follows, trying to capture familiar lips under his, but the assassin prevents him from that, tears out of his hold and takes a step back.
“Nemo?”
The Bhaalspawn blinks.
“It was too easy,” he murmurs, blinking some more. “Too fucking easy. Of course it’s not done just like that,” more blinking. “Of course he is not letting me go. And with Orin out of the reach-“ he gasps, then bends in half.
“Nemo,” Enver tries to reach for him, but gets swatted away unceremoniously.
“Don’t touch me,” Nemo growls, and it is a growl what makes Enver pause. This is not a human sound; this is a howl of a beast what has no place coming out of Nemo’s throat.
Of course, he thinks. Bhaal has gone nowhere.
“Control yourself,” he tries, adding steel to his voice, but Nemo just laughs.
“Control yourself?” he gasps. “You have no idea what it is like, no fucking idea. And why would you? No one understands what it’s like to be Bhaal’s favorite, no one can ever-“ another growl tearing out of his throat. “Get...help.”
“What?”
“I said get help,” Nemo cries out. “Get Karlach or Wyll, or, for god’s sake, get Aylin here, I’m sure she can hold me down.”
“You don’t need their help,” Enver tries and knows instantly he is lying even to himself. An awful, loud sound of the bones cracking comes rattling through the room and Nemo screams. “Alright,” he decides. “I will,” another pained cry instead of an answer. “I’m sure Nightsong can-“
“Just go!” Nemo chokes out as his flesh tears, white bones showing though the gaps. His limbs shake and twist and it’s about the end of Enver’s endurance.
He goes to get help, leaving his ally alone in a dark, cold room.
With nothing but Bhaal in his head.

probably spoilers but shhh its minor compared to other stuff kinda whatever i found thst part of the comic funny
huge spoiler rambling (ranting about the comic in general along with spoilers) ↓
THIS PART MADE ME SO EMOTIONAL I HAVE NO CLUE WHY like its genuinely heartbreaking to me they both deserve BETTTEERRRRR AUGHHTJHRRGHHHH
how can you see this dialogue, look me in the eye, and tell me cory is straight? THERE IS NO WAY HE IS STRAIGHT ESPECIALLY SINCE HES WEARING THAT "HO HO HOMO" SWEATER maybe im overanalyzing but i genuinely really like this comic im a huge fan of it and i cant really process characters good so maybe there was a overall plotline i missed minus the whole ryan "dating" lia but yk
AND THATS ANOTHER thing i like but dont like lia, like yes shes funny but theres more things i dislike about her than like so that isnt good especially cause she brings back not so good memories man 😭😭 just let me like a character
the comic says it has a lot of dark humor but i guess it just flies over my head? sure theres SOME obvious jokes but i dont think the dark humor is NEARLY as bad as homestucks by that i mean theres no blatant abelism in the comic or incest which is a huge thumbs up from me im tired of everything being problematic
anyways im insane for liking this comic probably but read it its so good i love the characters its actually really well written and worth your time if you have a hour free its only about 900 ish pages? maybe a little over but definitely read it i can proudly say its one of my favorite homestuck fancomics, that and hivezone, crossmound, homesick, and im sure theres way more im forgetting
#beneviolent#homestuck#hiveswap#mspfanventures#mspfa#edit#shitpost#i DESPISE LIA#shes funny but GOD i do not like her like her designs pretty shes silly but X:((( wtf!!!!11!#MY OPINION!!#im a proud cory defender he did nothing wrong#rambles#vicsdoodles#i like to read webcomics in my freetime cause i have nothing better to do
