Hey y'all. So, you guys might have noticed that I've been kinda inactive/not responding to messages quickly. I wanted to apologize, but also warn that this might not get better soon?
The main reasons I haven't been responding is because either, my wrists are hurting so bad that I can't type for long (or my other chronic pain is acting up), I'm so tired that I can't think of interacting, I'm helping out my family, or I'm having a bad episode(?) (Not entirely what's going on on those days, to be real)
I'm sorry, but I do have a happier note!! I want to say, thank you all so much if you have messaged me, interacted with me, reblogged from me, anything, recently. It makes these days so much lighter, makes me so much happier, even if I can't respond.
And to my friends who message me frequently: thank you. I love you all so, so much. I really really want to reply soon hopefully, but in the meantime know that you guys are so sweet, so fun, so awesome, and I love you 💙💙
(And to my friends who I haven't talked with in a bit, love you guys too <333)

Perfect imperfection- John Price// Simon Riley
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Photo credits: @ave661
Based on a request: Hi! can you please maybe do price or simon w a reader who gave birth to a child with some sort fo dissability or sickness and when reader and simon/price goes out reader sees a happy family and reader starts to feel insecure that they couldn't give price/simon the "perfect family" and price/simon is like oh no u and the kid are already perfect and ill beat up who ever made you feel insecure
---- F!Reader, established!relationship, mum!reader, dad!price, dad!ghost, fluff, baby with a disability/sickness, comfort ----
A/N: didn't tag those in my list since I wasn't sure they'd be comfortable with this one
Price:
It was a long day today. After your daughter was born, it had become a routine to go on walks. Even on days when she would make you stay up later than usual, a walk was a must.
Now, John walks hand in hand with you, his beautiful wife, through the bustling streets, your newborn daughter cradled in her stroller. Isn't she so beautiful? The soft coos and occasional giggles from the baby filled the air with a sense of warmth and joy. But beneath that happiness lingered a layer of worry, a shadow that casts the knowledge that your precious daughter was born with a disability.
As you three stroll along, you can't help but notice the curious glances and sympathetic looks from passersby. Each stare felt like a dagger to your heart, a reminder of your daughter's differences. You try and push away the feelings of insecurity, but they claw at you, threatening to overwhelm your fragile confidence.
"John," you whisper, your voice tinged with uncertainty, "do you ever…feel like she's not…normal?" What a question.
John stops in his tracks, turning to face you with a gentle smile. He reaches out, gently brushing a stray lock from your face.
"Y/N, listen to me," he says, his voice soft but firm. "Our daughter is perfect, just the way she is. Her uniqueness doesn't make her any less beautiful or valuable. She's a miracle, a blessing in our lives."
Tears well up in your soft eyes as you look into your husband's loving gaze. At that moment, she felt a surge of gratitude for the unwavering support he offered, even in the face of your insecurities.
And this was usual at times, he knew best that when they had run tests when you were pregnant, and you had been informed about your daughter's disability something in you doubted carrying the pregnancy. He knew you didn't like to announce your pregnancy anywhere you went. Instead of having that beautiful look all pregnant women had, your face was dull. It wasn't that you would hate that precious angel you carried but rather you were scared for if anyone besides John and you would appreciate her in this world.
How could anyone ever hate this precious baby? How can anyone not want to hold her and squeeze her chubby little face?
"But what if…" you trail off, unable to voice your deepest fears.
He gently takes your hand, squeezing it reassuringly. "We'll face whatever comes our way, together," he promised. "And no matter what, our love for her will never waver. She may be different, but she's still our little miracle."
With his words echoing in your mind, you feel a newfound sense of strength and resolve. You wipe your tears away, a small smile tugging at the corners of your lips.
"You're right," you say, your voice steadier now. "I'm sorry for….doubting this, I'm just scared," you mention and he cups your face. "I know, doll," he kisses your forehead and smiles, his eyes falling upon his sweet princess. "Let's get her home soon, her mum is about to have a dinner date soon," he smiles.
As you continue your walk, the weight of the insecurities feels as if they are slowly leaving you. In the embrace of his love, you slowly find the courage to block away the what-ifs.
At this moment, your little family was perfect. As it's always been.
Ghost:
Simon Riley, renowned for his bravery and resilience on the battlefield, found himself facing a new kind of challenge at home: parenthood. His days of clandestine operations and covert missions had taken a backseat to the joys and responsibilities of being a father. Together, with you, he now takes the journey of being a dad to his son, that little ray of sunshine amidst the chaotic world he lives in.
Your son, however, was born with a condition that makes him different from other babies. As you two navigate through doctor's appointments and endless nights of worry, Simon and you find yourselves grappling with insecurities that were never anticipated.
One sunny afternoon, as you both stroll around through the park with your daughter cradled in Simon's arms, you can't shake off the feeling of inadequacy gnawing at your heart. You watch other parents with their perfectly healthy babies, and a wave of self-doubt washes over you.
"Simon," you murmur, "do you ever wish things were different? That our baby wasn't… like this?"
Simon halts, his eyes gentle yet firm as he meets yours. "Hey," he whispers, his free hand reaching out to caress your cheek, "our baby is perfect the way he is. And you, my love, are the most incredible mother he could ever ask for."
Tears well up in your eyes as you listen to his reassuring words. "But… he's not like other babies," you choke out.
there is one thing besides being a soldier that Simon is and that is a father, a proud one at that.
He presses a tender kiss to your cheek. "And that is what makes him special," he declares. "He's unique, just like his beautiful mum. We're a family, and our love for this baby is stronger than the nasty stares from those other parents. Plus, I doubt their baby is as cool as ours," he smiles.
What other baby makes their parents laugh at the cute little stuff they do? What other husband is as amazing as him?
His words were a balm to your wounded spirit, easing the burden of doubt that weighs heavily on your shoulders.
You nod and rest your forehead on his shoulder.
Why must just being this close to him be so comforting? He is precious, isn't he? They are both precious.
This is gorgeous.

A HH Lucifer-centric AU 8/?
PART 1, PART 2, PART 3, PART 4, PART 5, PART 6, PART 7, PART 9, PART 10, PART 11, PART 12, PART 13, PART 14, PART 15, PART 16, PART 17, PART 18, PART 19, PART 20, PART 21, PART 22
I was going to make them reconcile but then decided last minute to just give more angst.
I'd like to think that the decades-long daddy issues warrant constant blowouts. Like redemption, working over it takes time.
We'll get there. Eventually.
(Lowkey projecting my daddy issues)
--------------------------------------------------
Maybe this was a bad idea.
Lucifer is standing in front of his daughter's bedroom door. He was so confident walking from his tower, wanting to resolve the current animosity Charlie has for him. Just thinking about getting yelled at and hearing he's hated by his own child is making him reconsider.
He knocks. No answer. He knocks again. And again. And again.
The king feels his eyes burning. Charlie doesn't want to talk to him and he's actually going to cry.
This is worse than any punishment Heaven has given me.
Surely Charlie wouldn't care if he just up and disappeared without saying goodbye, right? The Alastor in his head telling him that Charlie doesn't hate him is wrong and maybe she's just out and can you just be quiet for once, how are you still so talkative in my head???
Yes, yes. He should go now. He needs to find her as soon as possible. All of hell is in danger and definitely not because confrontation scares him. He's the fucking king-
Charlie: Dad?
Lucifer turned so fast towards the voice, that it made him a bit dizzy.
Told you, Your Majesty. He can hear the smugness of brain-conjured Alastor. Prick.
Lucifer: Charlieeeee!!!! Haha. What uh, what are you doing here?
He cringes. 10,000 years and he's still so shit at talking. This is his daughter Fatherdamnit!
Charlie: Uh. It's my room? Were you,,, looking for me?
He wants to conjure up a portal and run but Charlie's face is beaming with hope. He'd take every hate in the world before hurting his daughter further.
Lucifer: Y-yes! I was just about to knock. Ha- I uhm.
There was an awkward pause before they both spoke up at the same time.
Charlie: Can we talk about the other day?
Lucifer: I'm leaving, Charlie.
The father and daughter stood stunned. Charlie was the first to recover, sporting now a devastated, desperate look.
Charlie: What?! You're leaving??
Lucifer: It's related to the whole Roo situation. I need to leave soon but I didn't want to go without telling you. It might take me a while that's why... until my return, you'll be handling Pride in my stead. The other Sins will look after hell, you just have to focus on Pride.
Charlie: No! Dad, you can't be serious. You're leaving me again?
Lucifer: What? No! Charlie. I need to do this or hell will-
Charlie: Is this really about Hell? You never cared before, Mom was the one who cared about our home and our people. Have I done something?
Lucifer: Charlie, no, of course not-
Charlie: Then why do you keep running away from me?! Why do you keep leaving?...
He was right. I should've just left.
What's happening? Is this Roo's doing? Why do they keep fighting? Why do they keep hurting each other?
The eyes on the hotel walls are judging him.
Lucifer: I don't. Charlie, you have to understand. I've never- Your mother and I- You-.... I'm sorry. I don't have the right words.
Lucifer reaches out to touch his sobbing daughter, but he pulls his hand back. He doesn't deserve to touch her.
His phone dings with a message from Belphegor.
Text from Bel: Good evening, Lucifer. Please come by Sloth before you leave for Earth. Something-
He doesn't read it all before sending a confirmation to Bel.
Lucifer: Time is not on our side, Charlie. If I wasn't sure that this being would help immensely, I wouldn't bother leaving to look for them. Even if you think otherwise, I trust you with Pride and its duties. I.. I'm not good with words but- just know. The greatest gift by Father is having you as my daughter.
Charlie looks up at him, tears still falling from her eyes.
Lucifer: Love ya, kiddo.
Then he disappears in a flurry of red and gold.
----------------------------------
What to look for in Part 9:
it will be a Charlie chapter after Lucifer leaves.

Can I request a gender neutral reader with Matt Simmons as their father. Any plot!!!
Tumblr media
Matt Simmons X Child Reader
Second one for Matt!
Summary: Matts 5 year old Y/N comes to the BAU looking for theit Dad, but ends up meeting the team instead.
Third person pov...
It was early morning for the Simmons family, everyone was running a but late even Matt who was already late to work by a couple of minutes, said man comes running into the Kitchen where his children arw.
"Good morning everyone and good bye have a great day!" He exclaims kissing all his kids on thr head and kissing Kristy before running out the door the off to work.
5 year old Y/N then jumps up from their chair and rushes after their daddy their little legs getting tired, but they made it in time. "bye Daddy" they yell waving bye to their dad, As Matt drove away, 5 year old Y/N watched silently from the porch, waving goodbye until the kid could no longer see it in the distance.
Y/N was already missing their Dad, they then walked back inside and back up at the table, the 5 year old continues to eat their breakfast. Kristy sighs at her husband before turning back to the children.
Most of them were ready to go apart from the youngest Y/N, they were only 5 and didn't have school yet.
Currently said 5 year old was enjoying their breakfast laughing as their older brother makes funny faces at them, Kristy laughs at the siblings.
"okay that's enough you all need to get ready we have to leave soon" she says as the older children all run off leaving their Mum and baby sibling alone.
Y/N smiles at their Mummy making the woman coo and kiss their forehead, suddenly the toddler is alone in the kitchen, suddenly they spot a lunchbox, gasping the kid grabs it and runs off after their mum.
"Mummy! Mummy!" yells the little 5 year old, then Kristy is coming over to the kid, she then picks Y/N up looking them over for cuts. "whats wrong N/N" he asks the toddler in her arms.
Said toddler then wriggled around in her arms and pushes a lunchbox into her face. "daddy forgot his lunch!" they exclaim as if it was thr end of the world. Kristy gives a mock gap. "then we'll have to bring it to him" she says making Y/N smile and nod.
Hours later, Y/N and their Mum are in the car on their way to the BAU to give Matt his lunch. Y/N was feeling wide eyed and a little scared as the kid walked up to the entrance of the BAU, their Mum had dropped them off and rove to owkr.
The 5 year old held the lunchbox tightly in their arms before marching off to the building, they sighned in to see 'Matt Simmons' at the front desk, as they walked the 5 year old got many strange looks from agents.
Soon they arrived on the right floor, the 5 year old marches again towards the doors to the BAU units room, soon they reached the door, confused the kid stands outside it.
Should they knock or just open it. What if he wasn't in there? What would they do then? As if on cue, the door opened, and a tall man stepped out. His face was unfamiliar, but Y/N could feel something inside them telling them that he was some kind of friend.
"Hi there" the man said he looked young, giving the little kid a awkward smile. "My name is Dr. Spencer Reid. Can I help you with anything?"
Y/N took a deep breath before mustering up the courage to speak. they were a bit nervous, but they knew their daddy was somewhere in this building and sending Reid away without getting any answers was not an option.
'Is my daddy here" they ask, big E/C eyes looking up at him. The Dr was confused who was this kid, as he goes to talk he is saved by JJ walking by. "JJ help me" mutters Spencer making the woman laugh.
JJ then looked down at the little kid. "hello sweetheart, im JJ.do you know your daddies name?" she asks the 5 year old child, Y/N nods confidently. "his name is Daddy, he works here can you help me find him?" they ask, their answer makes the adult sweat drop.
Of course they were asking a little kid what their dad name was. JJ smiles kindly and holds out her hand to the kid. "how about we find him together" she suggest earning a smile from the kid. "yes please, im Y/N!" exclaims the child.
Spencer and JJ then walk into the bullpen with little Y/N holding JJs hand skipping slightly. "well, its nice to meet you Y/N welcome to the BAU" exclaims JJ matching the kid energy.
"whos the lunchbox for Y/N?" questions JJ finally noticing the lunchbox clutched to the kid hands it was a lot bigger than a regular kids lunchbox. Y/N looks at the lunchbox in their arms and grins.
"its daddies, he forgot it" they explain making JJ awe at how cute it was having your kid bring you your forgotten lunch.
Throughout the hour Y/N hadn't found their dad yet but had met almost every member of the BAU team apart from one someone called Matt Simmons whos name sounded a lot like Y/Ns daddy.
As the kid waits, they sit on Spencer's desk little legs swinging as they ask the genius many questions about everything and about his job, beside them JJ and Penelope are smiling while Luke laughs at the state the man is in.
Emily, Tara and Rossi watch from the side, suddenly Matt wonders through the doors, he looked up when he heard his youngest kid voice, he was both surprised and delighted to see Y/N eagerly talking to the team and bombarding Spencer with questions.
"N/N!" he exclaims gaining an audience. Gasping the Kid almost falls off while scrambling to get down the desk once they were on the floor they sprinted into their dads arms.
"daddy you're here I brought your lunch!" yelled the 5 year old, the team watch as Matt picks the child effortlessly into his arms kissing their forehead taking the definitely squished lunch from them.
"thank you vey much N/N" he said earning a cheer from the H/C kid in his arms.
The team enjoyed getting a chance to meet Y/N, and as a result, the kid was invited back periodically to chat and learn more and bother spencer with more questions.
The end!
Hope you liked this oneshot three in a row im on a roll!
Requests are open!

the front bottoms—various lyrics sentence starters.
some lines adjusted to fit; feel free to change pronouns, proper nouns, etc. as needed
am i getting into heaven? there’s no fucking way.
i would sleep better on your floor than i ever would in my bed.
learn to accept that the things we have now are the best we've had yet.
your friends are here and they miss you, but they’ll eventually move on.
i will always think about you, ‘cause you remind me of who i am.
i’ve tried and i gave everything i had, but i just gave up.
what we have is nowhere near as good as what we should have by now.
it's okay to give up, 'cause nobody here could care less.
time is running out and i need to choose, the clock is moving faster than it used to.
they say face your fears, but i can't stop running.
i'm scared i'm gonna die as lonely as i feel.
it's okay if you're unhappy—just take a look around. there's no one here that's happy either.
the only thing that'd shut me up now is your hands around my throat.
if i tell you all my secrets, would you tell me all your lies?
i have stitched a mask of confidence and i wear it like a glove.
no one's going to listen ‘til you mean every word you say, so if you can't find the feeling, you better learn to lie—and if you know we're gonna fail, then there's little point to try.
i can't get what i need, and you're all i need.
there are certain things you ask of me, but there are certain things i lack.
you say i'm changing—sorry, i didn't know i had to stay the same.
i think you're changing, but don't worry—you don't have to stay the same.
i shouldn't feel like i have to protect you.
at my funeral, don't lie. tell them i didn’t want to die.
i understand that everybody's got their problems, but you seem to have a little more than anybody.
there are things i think we'll come to regret, and the majority of them are dealing with me.
i used to love the taste, i'd do anything for it—now i'd do anything to get the taste out of my mouth.
what about your friends? don't you love them enough to stay?
it probably won't get easier, just easier to hide—prepare for an aching the rest of your life.
i have this dream that i am hitting my dad with a baseball bat, and he is screaming and crying for help—and maybe halfway through it has more to do with me killing him than it ever did protecting myself.
i believe that, yeah, maybe no one's perfect—but i believe that you're pushing your luck.
there's no doubt in my mind that if you could, then you would try to crack my ribcage open and pull my heart right through.
i've been around long enough now to know that the good things never last.
how low is your self esteem? how low could it possibly be?
i know you're in love with me, and i've been ignoring you.
i’m alone only half of the time, and the other half, i’m only hiding.
i got miles to go 'til i ever get home, but the sound of your laugh and your voice on the phone makes me feel like i’m already there.
hey man, i love you, but no fucking way.
make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face.
the good thing about this cast is i can still hold a knife, so if you ever twist my arm again, i'll be sure to put up a fight.
the past few months were pretty rough; a couple times i wished we both were dead.
just try to appreciate what you got while you got it, so if it ever goes away, you can say you enjoyed it while it lasted.
i don't regret it—how could i? you were the best i ever had.
i wish i could pretend to be all of the things you think you see in me.
i don’t care if you’re not sorry; i forgive you.
the farther you go from where you start, the harder it is to get back.
just because something burns bright doesn't mean it's gonna burn forever.
don't feel bad for me, because i won't feel bad for you.
when i wake up, i think of you.
it doesn't get worse, and it doesn't get better; you just get old—it lasts forever.
no one saw me the way you did, and no one's seen me that way since.
i know that no news is good news, but that’s always felt backwards.
i’m bound by love, born to obey.
you are the truth i choose to bend myself around.
a long time ago i promised that if you were happy, then i was happy.
don't take it easy on the animal—i am the animal.
sometimes things work out perfectly when there's nothing to lose.
i don't know where i am, but i've been here before.
i'm sorry for your loss, there's not much i can do.
i could see myself dying for you.
we're both trying, you gotta give us that.
why don't you put your boxing gloves on and punch your punching bag, get some of this rage out you have deep inside of you—you’ll feel better, that's the point.
there was resentment built up that was never expressed properly.
you seem to see through whatever it is about me that's trying to be tough.
this is the fear i was born into, it somehow still affects me today.
it may or may not seem like you're leaving me behind, and it may or may not be always on my mind.
i don’t wanna put a curse on myself—i don’t wanna put a curse on you either.
you don't have to try so hard to not see me around.
the more you give, the worse it gets.
i wanna be good to the people that i love—i want them to think of me as someone that they can trust.
i wanna settle down—i want you to settle down with me.

*update*
to @nerdfaerie, @arthurwilde, @dontfeedthestansaftermidnight, and @fancykraken who have quite literally helped keep me alive and sane, have been my rocks and guiding lights and confidants, have contacted sources for me, and have provided more through all of this than i could ever repay in three lifetimes.
also to my dearest @cowboylikedean, @xxsparksxx, @christinedaae, @spookyjackaubrey, @deaneverafter, @thesnuggliestduckling, @someoneoffthestreet, @lanne13, @werebunniesfordean, @thelonelybrilliance, @snowstormserenade, @cauldronofmorning for all of your care and all you've given me too.
and to everyone who has been here for me, listened to me, let me lean on them, and helped me through everything...words will never be enough to thank you. i love you so much.
the foreclosure was postponed, and now, thanks to assistance given by my dad (which has been an ordeal for everyone and i wish he had not had to do, and we're carrying some heavy guilt from that), is cancelled. we never got real assistance from, well, anyone we contacted? 😩 it's actually frightening how broken the system is and how little support there seems to be for indigent people facing homelessness, and the sheer hell and stress we've been living with for the past few years feels like it's permanently rooted in my body at this point, but, for now, our little home is safe.
i have a lot more to say, polina and mary to you specifically, and i owe you like a dozen messages apiece and i'm so sorry. my energy is so depleted lately that it's been hard to even form the necessary sentences.
there are still things to be worked out, and a lot of issues to deal with, and long term...isn't something we can think about. i don't know how long we'll be able to make ends meet. i don't know how long things are sustainable, or what's going to happen with the severity of both my mom and my health issues. i can't say anything with certainty about any of that, and it's really hard continuing to be on shaky ground, but at the very least, we aren't losing everything we have right now and that's a miracle. just enough is plenty today.
we're never guaranteed time in this life. we don't know how much we have, no matter who we are or what we do, everything can change in an instant, and i certainly recognize that. my circumstances require living day by day, but maybe that's all any of us can ask for or manage. just make it one moment to the next, and hope that some measure of it matters and that we can move in love and kindness, and find our little joys and comfort along the way, and cherish those, and the people we share them with. that's what i have here with you, and i'm so grateful for it. it's such a lifeline.
at any rate, it seems you're stuck with me and my silly little thoughts and feelings from my silly little spooky sparkly birdcage for a little bit longer. 💖💗💖💗💖
serendipitously on my timeline this morning:

Clouds on the Horizon
aka
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ahem, I mean, let's go
the Collector and Belos don't seem to like or trust each other at all, even though or maybe because lmao they've worked together for centuries
"what if it's all changed? what if you've changed?" both true, Belos is gonna hate 2022 even more than we do. also he'll catch every virus and illness known to man
Tumblr media
I LOVE the way this little bastard is animated
he doesn't want to make another grimwalker until "dealing with the current one" ugh
I'm wondering if it's just because he doesn't want the trouble of two at the same time or because he needs... parts from the previous one. one of the ingredients were bones from the original but it could also be that he uh, "recycles" them. ya know?
kikimora is a whole disaster huh
Blight siblings my beloveds
Odalia my despised
the language of loooove aw
Lily and Hooty being chaotic we love to see it
"you may be a titan but you're still a little guy" aw he wants to be useful
"Belos made sure we all have... replacements" oh I do NOT like that
using the curse to corrupt the spell is clever and makes sense but also... this all feels so risky
we don't know by the end if Eda actually got the sigil for sure, so we'll have to wait. Raine seemed very hesitant
Tumblr media
Lilith volunteering to do it seems important. I wonder if she'll try to switch with Eda, since she is there dressed as a scout
Hooty did wear clothes after all
Darius and Eber's plan: we may kill some people but hey, at least we stop this guy. flawless :)
Eda keeps talking like it's the end and I agree with King, she needs to stoppppp it hurts me
AN EGG I LOVE IT I'm sad we still don't know what her palisman will be, I assume it'll hatch next week, but that is so perfect. they get to choose, and whatever it is, it'll be the perfect match for her
or should I say, the perfect hatch!! heh? I'm hilarious
Eda supporting Luz and Amity's romantic adventures I love her
"tell Bossy Boots I said yooo" lmao
Tumblr media
sobs I LOVE THIS FAMILY
I know Raine will do anything to keep their promise, but that's what scares me too
Raine annoying Darius with the CATs name is everything to me <3
"Titan help us" "I'll... do my best" god he is feeling so much
Hexside trio reunion !!!!! thank u for the serotonin
+ Hunterrrr my son made friends :') he's so awkward but making progress
and he got new clothes and a shower thank you
a little sad we didn't get to see Darius and Hunter interacting but it's good to know they've been in contact and we're all in the same page here
so yes, he hasn't told them about the grimwalker thing, that makes sense. I hope he gets to talk about it on his own terms rather than have it revealed by Belos or something, ugh
Gus using that little spyglass like a BADASS go my boy
"SORRY MAN" he is so funny
Tumblr media Tumblr media
not the going up the balcony with the flowers romance is SO alive right now
Odalia broke the little tamagotchi I will end her
grounded for arson, I'm impressed
I like that Amity trusts her dad to listen and believe them, but not her mom. they are not quite the same
the twins being like oh look who's here :) hehe let her finish this is cute
oh to have the most mundane, slice of life date ever with your cool witch girlfriend
KISS I AM SOBBING
the animationnnn the love
listen when I saw them hug I was like will they will they will they? nah they probably won't let them and then BAM
Eda seems to be in far better spirits than before finding out about the rebellion which makes sense, but also she's most likely putting on a facade of confidence with all the jokes and such hmm
she has accepted the curse as a part of her forever, which I like since it fits the chronic illness angle the story has given it. and hey, she still has glyphs if all goes wrong. I hope
Steve was extra serious this whole episode it made me uneasy
that creepy connection King and the Collector have is terrifying
he seems so much like a lonely child. a powerful, chaotic, dangerous child
snorse power, HA
why does that rat look like Alador? a cosplayer rat??
"I'm an asset gal myself" I would die for Willow
those wild witches are all so pretty! am I crazy or are they based on the cast and crew? nice
Alador and King bonding was not what I was expecting but honestly I loved it ahaha
seems the Blights' relationship is more of a business partnership where she is the unreasonable boss. checks out
things are gonna change after the Day of Unity indeed, sir...
Tumblr media
I've been waiting for a shot with all 5 of them LOOK AT THIS TEAM WITH ALL THEIR NEW OUTFITS AND HAIRSTYLES THEY'RE PERFECT
"we'll find you a new girlfriend" I love that she is horrible but still draws the line at homophobia, we don't need that here
so, Belos and everyone seem to know about the CATs. Does this mean... there's a traitor??? or were they just discovered?? oh god either way this is not good
"was it the power of believing in myself?" "NO" why did that take me out
Tumblr media
unbothered
the way Alador blushes like Amity when they get angry. yes
she feels justified and like she's doing them all a favor, she wants to stay in control
very cool to finally see an oracle witch in action! even if I want her to lose
Tumblr media
I noticed "Luz" did Hunter's quick warp thing to shield Willow and was confused, it felt too intentional. very nice
also add one to the counter of Hunter instinctively protecting people. he does that a lot
Tumblr media
I am devastated this wasn't actually Hunter but this is so On Brand for Luz I love her very much
Gus an absolute icon for keeping up that illusion for so long while also kicking ass
"the jetpack actually works!!! :) oh, the jetpack actually works :("
very badass of Alador to destroy his own work and quitting his marriage job
Luz thought of a way to kill two birds with one stone: protecting Hunter by keeping him away from Belos, and helping Eda by being taken to her. But now she's alone heading directly to the emperor
she is so selfless but girllll be safe
she still has her palisman egg and her glyphs of course
Tumblr media
and so we end with this ominous shot
what is it with second to last episodes and the blood moon lately? and the way both matched the recent blood moon eclipse is pretty wild ngl
so I assume Amity, Willow, Gus, Hunter, King and Alador will head to the uh, the head, but they'll get there later. hopefully not too late
though I am scared for King being anywhere near there given the whole thing with the Collector... oh, next week will be INSANE
It'll be sad to say goodbye to the Owl House for the time being, but I know it'll deliver a crazy season finale. oof, can't wait

I can’t tell if Fundy and dreams relationship is going in the direction of awkward middle school relationships or two traumatized friends. But if it’s going in the awkward middle school relationship direction, I think it would be funny if he confided in Quackity instead of his mom because he didn’t wanna make her mad. Like just.
———
Quackity had been confused as to why Fundy wanted to stay inside during recess, but he didn’t comment on it. He had noticed Fundy seemed stressed lately and maybe he just needed to catch up on homework. It still felt off because the kid hadn’t missed recess ever since he became friends with Dream. It wasn’t like he cared if Fundy stayed inside because he really just wanted to be there for him. He knew Fundy was going through a lot right now.
It didn’t even look like Fundy was doing homework right now. He was just hunched over at a desk staring at his phone with one hand running through his hair.
He didn’t say anything about it, trying to stay focused on the tests he was grading. If Fundy wanted to talk about something he probably had better support systems than his math teacher. Quackity hoped so at least.
“Hey, Quackity?” Fundy sounded tired and his voice was quiet.
Quackity set down his pen, looking at Fundy. “Yeah?”
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Uh… go ahead.”
The kid took a deep breath. “How do you know if you’re gay?”
Quackity froze, not knowing how to respond to the question. This was definitely not a teacher and student conversation to have, even if he was closer with Fundy than that. “I mean…” he trailed off trying to think of what to say next. “I guess that’s up to you to decide, so… I don’t think I can- I don’t- uh…”
Fundy frowned at his answer. “How did you know?”
“I liked guys and not girls…? I don’t know.”
“Is it genetic?”
He stared at Fundy in confusion. Did this family just not know how to use the internet or just common sense? “…no. That’s not how that works.”
Fundy didn’t say anything back and Quackity prayed that was the end of this interaction. Sadly, it wasn’t.
“Do you think I’m gay?”
He let out a tense sigh. “That’s not for me to decide, Fundy.”
“How the hell am I supposed to know that?!” The kid’s face wore a look of panic. “You helped my dad, why can’t you help me?”
Quackity pinched the bridge of his nose. “Because that’s not my place. I’m your teacher.”
“but you’re my dads boyfriend. And you helped him find out he was gay.”
“I didn’t make the decision for him. And I didn’t really help him. It was more like…” he thought for a second. “I guided him, I guess?”
Fundy seemed frustrated with his explanation. “Then guide me!”
He couldn’t fight the grimace that he made. “I do not think you understood what I meant at all.”
Fundy’s face scrunched up in confusion before morphing into one of disgust. “Ew- that’s gross- don’t say that I don’t wanna hear about that that’s gross ew.”
“Why are you even asking me this?”
“I, uh- I think I have feelings for someone.” He said quietly.
Quackity understood why the kid was probably confused, but he should probably talk to someone closer to him if that was the issue. “You should talk to your mom about this. I can’t exactly help you.”
“I can’t.”
“Why not?”
Fundy hesitated, looking down at the desk. “I don’t wanna upset her.”
“I’m sure she would understand. I don’t think it would upset her like you think it would.”
“No, it would.” Fundy rested his head on his hand. “I think she’d be disappointed that I turned out like Dad.”
“She is upset with Wilbur for different reasons other than the fact he’s gay. You know that.”
Fundy sighed, “forget I even asked. It’s stupid anyways.”
Quackity didn’t get to say anything else because Fundy left quickly after that. He felt bad for the kid. He was already in a shitty situation and he couldn’t even figure himself out.
Genetically, these bitches gay
Also ow
Also genuinely unsure of where Dream and Fundy's relationship is headed at this point.... We'll have to wait and see
*gives you a dried starfish*

Sims 4 Fontenot Legacy - Childhood Begins
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The morning after the birthday party, the house is still in disarray. Scarlett wakes up first to start dealing with the mess, followed by the other adults and eventually the kids. The girls have another big day ahead of them, as it is their school orientation day. They're excited to meet other students and find out what elementary school is all about.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
While the girls head off to school and Sigrid assists with the day's clean-up process, Robin borrows Sabrina's computer to finish up something he's been wanting to do for a long time.
As the family's youngest residents gain more independence but more costs, Robin decides it's finally time to get a more traditional job to support his family. After a few emails, he's able to secure a job at Dewey, Cheatem, & Howe! It's an entry-level job, but he's confident he has the skill set to work his way up the corporate ladder quickly.
It's not the only big thing happening today. Oh no, the family is having one more big event to celebrate the start of a new chapter in their lives.
Tumblr media
The girls return from school with the neighbors' kid, courtesy of Audrey and her ever-friendly personality. However, there's also some additional guests at the house, unbeknownst to them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sigrid: Well look who it is! You have a good orientation day? See you've already invited a friend over.
Audrey: Mom, what's this? Why is there a carrier here?
Sigrid can't help but chuckle at the complete ignoring of her comment.
Sigrid: Oh, this old thing? Well, your dad and I thought it might be nice to invite someone over ourselves.
Audrey: What... do you mean-
Tumblr media
Alma: A PUPPY!!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Without another word, Alma is rushing to the puppy at the speed of light.
Alma: Hey there, little guy! I'm Alma! You and I are gonna be best friends!
Audrey: A puppy?! Really mom?!
Sigrid: Well your father and I thought it'd be nice for you to have a buddy to play with. You know, someone other than your sister when you two get on each other's nerves.
Audrey: This is the best day ever!
Sigrid: Now remember, caring for a puppy is a lot of responsibility. I need you both to help take care of things, okay?
Alma: We will! We'll go on walks, play with him, train him, everything! Promise!
Audrey: Yeah, what she said!
Sigrid: Okay, okay. Well, don't waste any more time talking to me. Go talk with your sister and decide on a name for him!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Robin has been quietly watching all of this unfold. As the girls greet and play with the puppy, he walks over to his wife.
Robin: Think we did good?
Sigrid: Pft, I think we just earned ourselves "Parents of the Century".
Robin: Ooh, I like the sound of that. Think they'll erect a statue of us in honor of this moment?
Sigrid: If they do, I hope they take some creative license and sculpt a few pounds off my waist.
Robin: Think they'd pump up my muscles a little bit? Oh, maybe a majestic beard would be nice too.
Sigrid: You going full Viking on me now?
Robin: Hey, I'd look good in a tunic! Hand me a sword and shield!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alma interrupts the banter between the two and comes rushing over to her dad, giving him the biggest hug ever.
Alma: Thank you, thank you! You're the best!
Robin: Aww, you're very welcome, baby.
Sigrid: So have you two thought of a name for him yet?
Alma: I think so!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the chaos of the new arrival, Audrey's buddy Jalisa gets pushed to the wayside. But, of course, Audrey never abandons her friends.
Audrey: Jalisa! We just got a new puppy! Alma and I decided to name him Ziggy!
Jalisa: So cool! I wish my parents let us get a puppy. Mom's allergic to their saliva, though. Says it gives her the "heebie-geebies".
Audrey: Well you can come over and play with Ziggy as much as you want!
Jalisa: So cool!
Tumblr media
Audrey and her pal celebrate the day by spending some time in the treehouse! (Alma was there too, actually, but decided to play by herself in the enclosure. Typical Alma 😆)
All in all, the twins first full day of childhood was a success! A great orientation day, new friendships, and a belated birthday present so wonderful it'll leave a lasting impression on the entire family!
Tumblr media
And of course, let's formally introduce the newest addition to the legacy house: Ziggy Lay!

I went to therapy yesterday and started talking about my ex and when i told my therapist out something that i had done i started to tear up and the rest of the day i spent in this weird funk. My parents were in town visiting me(they had driven 12 hrs to see me) and i told my gf at the time that i promise I'll try to be back early so we can go to the pool. Now obvs i got late because my dad hadn't eaten and was driving around to find something. She saw me(on find my iphone) and got mad saying i lied to her and broke her trust again. So i told her that i was sorry but my dad hadn't eaten so we were looking for food and she was like Idc he's an adult he can figure it out. I'm very close to my parents so this hurt a lot. That night i literally stood in the parking lot telling my mom i wish i could jump into the river and die bc i always felt like i had to choose and she said we'll never ask you to choose between her and us. Damn while writing this in crying. I went back to the house and we got into an argument and i told her that i have seen them for a yr and she was like i haven't seen mine for 5 and so i said that's not my fault...i have a good relationship with my parents.
The worst part is the next morning i woke up and made her breakfast and cleaned the house tm and took care of the animals
First. I wanna say thank you for confiding in me and sharing this with me. It’s okay to get emotional and cry and I’m glad you found my ask box to be a safe place to open up about it. Bottling up feelings is THE WORST thing you could do.
Second, Im also very very very family-oriented and I had a similar problem with one of my ex’s in the past as well. So I totally understand how torn you feel right now. I do not think that was very fair of her to come at you like that and accuse you of lying to her without having a proper conversation about it first. Of course, I don’t know your gf, but I’m sure her assumption came from a place of insecurity in herself. This does not justify her actions or words in making you feel guilty, but it’s important to take this into consideration too.
I am very glad you are here and didn’t jump into any rivers because you have a purpose here regardless of if you are aware of it yet or not. Be patient with yourself. I’m not sure how long you have been with your gf or any other details of your relationship, but if this is something that happens a little more often than it should, I would consider having a sit-down with her and laying it all out on the table. For those of us who have a good relationship with our parents, it is okay to put our family first. Do not feel guilty for making time for your family. If she is having trust issues with you but are not properly communicating those feelings and thoughts in a productive way, it becomes more difficult for you to reassure her. Then, this causes a domino effect where you will start to have trust issues with her if she continues to jump to conclusions about your intentions rather than speaking with you first. Like I said, I suggest speaking with her during a time where there’s less tension between you two, calm and level-headed, and explain how it made you feel. In a way that won’t make her feel like you’re pointing any fingers because that may result in her getting defensive.
Sorry for babbling, I hope I helped a lil. Even if it helped you feel heard and understood. My inbox and ask box is always open if you need to vent my friend 💜 continue to be strong but remember it’s okay to fall sometimes, just make sure you dust yourself off and get back up.

Mon Amour
Tumblr media
Summary - You've grown up with Charles, and as much as you hate to admit it, you love him. Pierre knows, and clearly sees how desperately Charles loves you too. It's true what they say, love will always find a way.
The Monaco Grand Prix was one of the most fun, exhilarating and exciting Grand Prix's of the entire F1 Season. You were excited enough, and since you already lived nearby, all you had to do was make your way to Charles's home, and then make your way to the track together. To say you were excited was an understatement, and you could barely contain the nerves and excitement you were feeling.
Charles was nervous. He didn't know why, Monaco was his circuit, and he always drove well on the track. He had been confident through free practice, and he was starting on pole, with an excellent quali result. But he was nervous, and something told him it had nothing to do with the race, and everything to do with Y/N.
Y/N. His best friend. His go-to. His shoulder to cry on. She had been there through it all, when his dad died, when Jules died. Whenever he needed someone to talk to or just needed a hug, he could always turn to her. He had met Y/N at a go kart race, sitting with her mother, and eating an ice lolly. Her hair had been in two little ponytails, and she was wearing a pretty polka doted red and blue dress. He was sitting with Pierre, and couldn't help staring at the girl, not even paying attention to what Pierre was saying, until he had snapped his fingers in front of Charles's face to tell him the race was about to begin.
The race had been wonderful, and he had won first place. His dad and Pierre's dad had both been so proud, and had bought both of them ice creams, and as they sat eating their cones, Y/N had made her way over to the pair. "You drove really well today, and my mommy told me I should come over to say congratulations" Too surprised to say anything, he let Pierre take over, and watched as he conversed with her. Then, she turned to him and said, "Whats your name? Mine's Y/N' and he had managed to stutter out, "C-Charles"
And thats how your friendship had begun. Since then, you had accompanied him to every race he had, had been there when he signed for Sauber (Alfa Romeo) and then when he signed for Ferrari. You had been so proud, you had cried when he told you, and hugged him tight and told him that you were incredibly proud of him, and that you were sure that his dad and Jules would have been incredibly proud of him too. And then he had cried too, and you two had cried together, and spent the rest of the night together, just hugging each other.
And here you were again, at his door, looking simply stunning in the outfit you had picked for the race track, looking like an angel sent from heaven. Well, you were his angel. The problem was, he couldn't tell you. You didn't love him, and the last thing he needed was to jeopardise your relationship by confessing his feelings. His stupid, stupid feelings.
"You look gorgeous" Charles said, leaning forward to give you a hug, and a soft kiss on your cheek. If he had been looking at you, he probably would have seen how you had gotten slightly flustered at his gesture. "Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself' you replied, reciprocating his gesture by kissing his cheek. Apparently, neither one of you were good at paying attention, because you didn't see the way he blushed either. "Ready for the race?" "Always" "Is Pierre going to be there?" "Yes he is, we'll probably meet him on the way to the paddock" As much as he hated to admit it, he always felt a pang of jealousy when you brought up his best friend, because he thought that you had feelings for the Frenchman,
"Okay then" "Are you ready to go?"
Nodding your head, you picked up your purse and checked your reflection in the mirror one more time, and brushed a stray strand of unruly hair behind your ears. Grabbing the keys to his Ferrari, he closed the door as the both of you left his house. The car ride to the paddock was fairly quiet, as you made occasional comment about random things, and bopped your heads to some music.
Arriving at the paddock, Charles noticed the paps that were waiting to descend upon you two like vultures. "merde" he mumbled under his breath, knowing you didn't really liken your picture being taken by random strangers. Sighing, you reached out to touch his shoulder. Its okay. I don't mind" 'I know, but it's unfair to you to have your privacy invaded" he replied, running his fingers through his hair in frustration. "Hey, it's okay. Let's just go". Opening the car door, you took a deep breath to calm the nerves beginning to appear in your tummy.
But you needn't have worried. As soon as you opened the car door, Charles was by your side, lacing his fingers through yours, the other arm wrapping around your waist, to fully protect you from the prying cameras. Trying not to focus on how right it felt, to have his arm around your body, and to feel his fingers threading through your own. Your heart was beating so fast, you wouldn't be surprised if he could hear it, considering how closely wrapped he was around your own body. As the Ferrari garage came into view, you began to calm down, and became aware of the fact that his arm was still wrapped around your waist, and his hand was still holding yours.
-------------------------------------------------------
Walking over from the Toro Rosso/Alpha Tauri garage, Pierre spotted Charles and Y/N making their way over to the Ferrari. Noticing the way Charles kept his arm tightly around Y/N, he couldn't help but grin, and assumed that Charles had finally told Y/N how he felt about her. Grinning even more broadly, he strutted over to the Ferrari garage, and walked over to where his best friend was standing with Mattia and his race engineer. "Hello, mon ami. I see you've finally done it?" somewhat confused, Charles turned to face the frenchmen, and asked, "Done what?" 'Told Y/N you love her" Pierre replied, watching his friends face glow the same red as the colour of his car and race suit. "What?! I have done no such thing. What would make you think that?"
"Let me think, because you've been in love with her since we were children. Come on Charles, don't chicken out now. You should definitely tell her. She is an extremely attractive woman, and I won't be surprised if someone else also likes her or asks her out. You two are made for each other. Now stop delaying !" Sighing, Charles just shook his head, and went into his drivers room, turning halfway to wave at his friend. Somewhat frustrated, he walked into the room, kicking the door in the process. "fanculo, idiota!" he mumbled, hands reaching up to his head to pull on his and let out a growl.
"Charles? You okay ?" Y/N asked, peeking her head into his room, slight concern in her E/C eyes. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Just nervous" 'Nervous?' she asked walking in, and sitting down next to him. "Yeah, it's a big race, and points are very important if we want to beat Mercedes and actually win this year. Besides the last race wasn't that good, and Mattia was a little upset about it. I'm just a little nervous" Reaching out to take his hand into hers, Y/N ran a soft hand through his hair, and his eyes fluttered shut for a second. "Charles, listen to me. You are an incredibly talented person. When you get in the car, you push it to the limits and you give it everything. It's okay to be nervous, but you're on pole. I know you will give it your all, and every single person in this garage believes in you. And I believe in you the most. So go out there , and give it your everything. I know you can do it" As you had been speaking, Charles had been running his thumb over your knuckles, on the hand that was holding his, and when you finished, he raised it to his lips, and pressed his soft, pink lips to your knuckles.
"Thank you, tesoro" You froze. He had never called you 'sweetheart' before. You could feel your heart rate rising ever so slightly, and your breathing become slightly shallow, as his brown hazel eyes looked up into your own, and seemingly held your gaze. The tension in the room seemed to thicken, reaching upto a point where it was nearly suffocating. Heads leaning closer to each other, his hand tightening the grip he had on yours, sliding softly up your arm, as your eyes fluttered shut, the anticipation sending your heart rate up to crazy numbers. His face was so close to yours, you could feel his breath on your lips, almost hear his heartbeat, and hoping to God he couldn't hear how embarrassingly loud yours was. Just as your lips nearly touched, there was a knock on the door, and his race engineer, poked his head in, looking somewhat awkward. "Its time to go Charles, time to get in the car"
Sighing softly, he pulled away, as your eyes fluttered behind your eyelids. "Go and win this. I'll be cheering you on" you said, not quite meeting his eyes, but giving him a soft, half hearted smile. "Thanks" he said, giving your hand a squeeze, as he walked out to the garage to get in his car. Burying your head in your hands, you felt like you could scream, sob and punch something at the same time. Letting out a shaky breath, you ran a hand over your face and stood up, making your way up to where you were watching the race from.
-------------------------------------------------------
The race was over, and Charles had won 1st place, with Lewis in second and Valterri in third. As he had stood on the podium, he had found your face in the crowd, smiling and cheering for him, as you let out a whoop that he couldn't hear, but you didn't care. The adrenaline from the win was pumping through his veins, as he climbed down from the podium, eyes searching for you, as his teammates and crew congratulated him on his win, but he was really only half listening.
Then he saw you, standing in front of the garage, hair flying around in the wind that had picked up in the last lap of the race. Smiling as you looked up to see him, you began to run towards him, as he ran to meet you halfway. You jumped into his arms, as his wrapped around your thighs and your waist to keep you stable, as you wrapped yours around his muscled neck, leaning your forehead down to rest against his, as you muttered a soft "congratulations' in his ear, and pressed your lips to his temple, as his eyes closed, fully revelling in your embrace and body heat, not caring about how the paps had probably got a pretty good shot of you two, or how the tabloids were probably wetting themselves with article possibilities. 'thank you mon ange, thank you for supporting me" "anytime"
As you planted your feet back on the ground, and loosened your grip around him slowly, he moved his arm so one was wrapped around your waist, and the other rested loosely on his hip. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Pierre approaching, and smiled at his best friend. "Congratulation mon ami. That was a superb race. Y/N long time no see, seems like you have forgotten me"
Giggling, you stepped away from Charles to give him a hug. "Of course not, how could I forget my best friend! I was going to saw hello before the race but I didn't get the chance. Good race!" "Thank you, It's so good to see you again here. Looks like Charles has been taking up all your time" He said, smirking at the Monégasque driver, who blushed, before looking away. Laughing, you shook your head, moving your body closer to Charles's again. "Oh Y/N you should come to the party tonight. It's on a yacht, and we can have some good fun a well. What do you say ?' "Oh I'm in!"
"You can come as one of our plus ones" Pierre said, eyes shifting over to Charles's face which was the same colour as his bright red Ferrari suit. Charles wanted to punch and hug Pierre at the same time, clearly seeing what he was trying to do. "Yeah, okay I'll be there" "Great! See you then, bye for now. Go celebrate with your man"
"your man"
Why did that sound so right? Why did it make your heart burst with happiness? Why did you want him to be your man? And why did it seem like the one thing you wanted the most was the one thing you couldn't have.
-------------------------------------------------------
Looking at the mirror one last time, you smoothed out the silky material of the red satin dress you had decided to wear to the party. Paired with a black choker necklace, and a pair of sleek black heels to finish the outfit. You had gone bold with the makeup, winged liner and smoky eyeshadow. Finally, you had swiped a tube of ruby red lipstick across your lips, and sprayed some more -expensive -than -you -could -even -begin- to -fathom Gucci perfume that Charles had bought you for your birthday on your wrists, neck, ears, and body.
You didn't know what you were doing. But it felt good to be confident. It felt good to pretend as though you were completely in control, when all you wanted was to curl up in a little ball, and cry. You didn't know what you were doing, but it felt good to pretend as though you didn't care for Charles, when all you wanted to do was grab his stupidly handsome face and kiss his wonderfully soft, pink lips.
Shaking off your anxiety, you reached for the phone to call Pierre, who was supposed to pick you up and drive you to the party. Charles had wanted too, but he had to go and meet some friends who wanted to congratulate on his victory. Taking a deep breath, you picked up your black clutch, which had your phone, lipstick, tissues and your keys, just in time to hear a knock on the door. Walking over to the door of your Monaco apartment, you opened it to find Pierre, in a lovely light blue suit, hair slicked slightly with gel, and a Rolex on his wrist. As he looked at you, his eyes widened, and he looked at you in shock for a few seconds, before saying "You look absolutely stunning, princess. Absolutely gorgeous" "Thank you Pierre ! You're looking pretty dapper yourself, I must say" you replied, flashing him a smile. "Thank you Y/N/N. Someone won't be able to keep his eyes off of you" he said, smirking as he saw your eyes widen softly, as you grew visibly flustered. "Who?" You asked, suddenly interested in looking at the clutch in your hand. "Oh come on, Leonardo DiCaprio. Who do you think ?!'
"I don't know, Pierre. Why don't you tell me?"
"Ces deux idiots, Charles, you sweet dumbass!"
"Yeah right. Let's just go please, we are already late, and I don't want to be out for too long"
"Fine"
-------------------------------------------------------The party was extravagant. There were these model chicks everywhere, with the most minimal of clothing, drooling over whichever driver they could find. Charles had had this one blonde girl hit on him for nearly an hour, and he was nearing the end of his patience. He didn't want any random girl for a one night stand. He wanted Y/N. And she wasn't at the party yet. But God, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He couldn't stop thinking about the moment they had shared. They had almost kissed. His heart did little jumps whenever he thought about it, and GOD, he was not doing a good job at hiding it. Everyone in the room had noticed the lovestruck look on his face. From across the room, George and Alex made their way over the Monégasque driver, who looked lost, and slightly irritated.
"Hey man, good job today! That was an excellent race" "Thanks, you guys did brilliantly as well"
"So who's got you looking like a little lost puppy?" George asked, grinning at the man, who looked slightly flustered at his comment. "What? No one, just post race excitement I suppose?"
"I'm not taking your word for it. Who's the girl? Come on"
Just as Charles opened his mouth to speak, there was a slight distraction, as he turned towards the door on the left, where people kept coming and going, and his jaw dropped. It was Y/N. But she looked like an angel that had fallen from the heavens, and sent to bless his heart. As he watched her make her way across the room, with Pierre right behind her, he felt his mouth and throat become dry, and his heart felt like it was going to fail at any moment. His palms were becoming sweaty and he felt like a nervous wreck, ready to collapse at any moment.
"Wow, mate. Is that Y/N ? She looks stunning!" Alex said, smiling as he watched her make her way towards their little group. "Yeah it is mate. She looks absolutely gorgeous!" George said, waving to the woman as she neared them. Charles couldn't speak.He just stared. "When you've put your eyes back in your head, and closed your mouth, you could maybe compliment her, and finally ask her out." Alex said, noticing how his friend had become silent and kept opening and closing his mouth like a goldfish.
Laughing, George clapped Charles on the back, "Ah, so she's the one that's got you all lovey dovey. Good going mate, she's a beauty" As he finished speaking, Y/N had approached the group, and was saying hello to Alex. Leaning forward, George gave her a hug as well, having become acquainted with her through Pierre. "Y/N you look beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous" he said, smiling at her, "Thank you so much! You guys all look lovely too!"
'You're too kind Y/N, George looks like he hasn't even brushed his hair back properly" Alex joked, receiving a slight shove from the Brit. "And, Charles, what do you think? How do I look this fine evening?" you asked, turning to face him. His face was slightly flushed and he mumbled something that sounded like "mimblewimble" and then cleared his throat. "You look prettier than anyone here tonight. You look like an angel"
Completely awestruck at his words, all you could do was gape, and then mutter a soft thank you, and pray to God he couldn't feel the nerves radiating off of you. "Well, despite the lovely company, and palpable sexual tension, I'm going to go find Max and Daniel, and go get a drink" Alex said, giving Y/N a hug and leaving with George. Leaving you alone with a very flustered Charles. "Do you want to get out of here?' he asked suddenly, looking at you with his warm hazel brown eyes. "I just got here, but yes please. I already feel so out of place among these models and superstars" you said, giggling softly. "Well, they've got nothing on you. Trust me, you're fifteen times prettier than anyone else here"
"Thank you Charles" you said, smiling softly, and touching his arm. "Anytime,tesoro" there it was again, that nickname that had your heart jumping. The last time he had called you that you guys had almost kissed. The memory returned, filling your tummy with butterflies, and all you wanted to do was to grab his stupidly handsome face and kiss him. The two of you made your way down to the docks, where you had a special spot that was like a hidden cave, covered with some wildflowers and ivy, that you two had discovered when you guys were fifteen, and you had had a bad day at school. Charles had hugged you, and told you, "no matter how bad a day at school is, I will always be there to hug you and make you feel better, always" That was when you had fallen in love with him.
As you made your way to the cave, you shivered, the sea air that was blowing around was surprisingly chilly, and you had forgotten to bring a jacket. Being the gentleman that he was, Charles took of his dark blue suit jacket, and draped it around your soldiers. 'Can't have you freezing to death" "I won't" you replied, regretting your decision to wear heels. As the two of you reached the cave, you sat down on the floor, and pulled off your heels, and stretched your legs out, letting out a sigh as you did so. Smiling at your actions, Charles sat down next to you, his thigh brushing against yours, arm wrapping around your waist, as your head dropped onto his shoulder.Beneath you two, the water lapped gently against the rocks, and the soft sound was calming and soothing.
For a while, you stayed that way, you tracing random patterns onto his left hand, while his right arm that was wrapped around your waist traced circles on your waist. His head was resting on top of yours now, and in the chilly air, the warmth radiating off of his body was comforting. "Y/N, do you like Pierre?" he blurted out suddenly, making you look up at him in shock. "What makes you think that?' you asked, leaning slightly away from his body to look at his face properly. "Well, I just assumed, I guess, you do seem very very comfortable and happy around him" "Oh my god, you idiot" you said, giggling softly at the slight look of jealousy on his face. "Pierre was right"
"What was he right about ?"
"Nothing"
"Look I'm sorry, I don't know where that came from its just that I love you and -"
You cut him off, pressing your lips to his, as his arms wrapped around your torso, after initial surprise. Yours made his way to his shoulders, one on his shoulder, and the other to the back of his head, while his grip around your body tightened. You two fit together like two pieces of a puzzle, bodies moulding into each other, lips fitting like two puzzle pieces together. This was what you had been missing from your life. This passionate, romantic, breath taking love, one that made your heart go 200 miles an hour and then stop.
Charles couldn't believe what was happening. He was kissing Y/N, and it felt so right. She was intoxicating, the scent of her perfume was clouding his senses in the best way possible, filling him with a new need, a hunger that had been growing for so long was finally being satiated, and it was electrifying. He slid his hands up her back, to tangle his fingers in her hair, pulling ever so slightly, and revelling in the sound that left her lips.
Finally breaking away, panting and out of breath, he rested his forehead on hers. "je t'aime mon amour" he mumbled, eyelids fluttering shut. "I love you too. So much" Completely blissed out, the two remained in their embrace, neither of them wanting to break apart, from what felt like a dream. "Did you just kiss me, or am I dreaming" He asked, looking down at Y/N who had her head on his shoulder again.
"Why don't you kiss me again and find out ?"
"Of course, mon amour"

''Not Everything Happen As Planned'' Part 4 - Tommy Shelby x Reader
Tumblr media
Part 3
Summary: Reader's thoughts about the encounter, more problems start to appear, and Thomas being an asshole.
Author's Note: English isn't my first language, this chapter took longer than planned (as well as the title of the fanfic haha), but I was very busy these days with the school, but here we are. And Rest In Peace, Helen McCrory.
Warning: Mention about abortion.
Word Count: 1252
It is crazy how we can reason only after all the adrenaline is exhausted in our body, and that is how you found yourself now, extremely discredited of your choice, after your conversation with Thomas.
You couldn't believe that you agreed to go out with him, you knew that many things could go wrong on that date, and your head was filled with different thoughts, both positive and negative.
Even after finding out who he really was, you couldn't deny the attraction you felt for him. You knew and saw how people react when he is mentioned, but you were not able to have those feelings for him, no matter how correct it was to do it.
He was the father of your child, and even more, he seemed to be genuinely interested in you, and when you're messed up with hormones because of a pregnancy everything seems a little more complicated to resolve.
You wanted to believe that things would work out, but then you remember that you are going with him to a date, to the pub, being pregnant. You couldn't drink the alcoholic beverages he was likely to offer you, and it would all be a little suspicious.
This situation was much more than chaotic, he would suspect, and you were distressed by the thought of telling him, because the rumors about him weren’t good, and you were already in a lot of trouble to get entangled in some more, what if he didn't want the child? Would he make you have an abortion?
But you also felt even worse with the idea of not telling, because he was going to be a father, you didn't know if he had that dream, and with the possibility that you could take that away from him, affronted you.
You always liked to plan your things without interference, that was the reason you came to Birmingham, the fight with your parents over who would have control over your life, and now you are pregnant and in the dilemma whether or not to tell Thomas.
What the fuck, (Y/N)? Did you really have to have sex with a gangster in the back room of a pub in a city you had just moved in with?
Tumblr media
Now you were in front of the mirror finishing your beautiful red lipstick and in your splendid black silk dress, one that you received as a gift from your father on one of his trips to France. You were not someone very vain, especially since you were always forced to follow the standards of beauty set by your mother, so you always rebelled against what she wanted. But that doesn't mean you don't like to feel beautiful.
You turned to Nat and said:
"Am I pretty?"
"You look wonderful!" She said "Have you decided if you are going to tell him or not?" She asked, curious to know your decision.
“I haven't decided yet, Nat. I think this is something I'm going to know at the moment. I don't want to blow my mind about it, it's not good for the baby, I just hope everything will be okay. ” You said sincerely.
“Everything will be fine, you can be sure. With or without his help. ” Said Natasha as she kissed your cheek and left the room.
You were about to leave when the phone rang.
"Hello, who am I talking to?"
"Daughter?" That was the worst time your mom could call you.
"Hi Mom, is everything okay?" Said you, wanting to shorten this conversation as much as possible.
"Oh yes, I'm fine and so is your dad, but you, how are you?" She asked.
"I'm great mom" You knew that everything was not 100 percent okay, but your mom didn't need to know that.
"Very good to hear that, dear," You knew she was lying, after all she didn't even want you here in Birmingham. "I'm thinking of spending a few days with you, you wouldn't mind, huh?" Now she took you by surprise.
"Do you want to spend a few days here?" You repeated it to yourself more than to her.
"Yes, any problem?" Yes, mother, all the problems in the fucking world, but you couldn't say that.
And again you found yourself trapped on an unwanted occasion, thinking quickly of the logic that you could not refuse your mother, because that would give her more reason to believe that something was wrong, and it would only be a few days, right? What could go wrong.
"No mom, no problem, now I'm a little busy, would you mind calling me tomorrow, so we can talk about your coming?"
"Great, my dear, we'll talk tomorrow" She said goodbye.
"Bye mom, we talk to each other!".
You let out a sigh that you didn't even know you were holding, but your mother is a problem for later, now you need to go to your date, where you were late.
Tumblr media
You arrived at Garrison and there was no one inside, which was very unusual since at this time it would be full of men already drunk and maybe even fighting.
"I thought you would like it if it was empty here" said a voice that you knew very well.
"Hi Thomas".
"Hi, (Y/N)" He said back.
You liked that he reserved the pub just for you and him, after all if maybe you would reveal your pregnancy to him, it was better that there was no one around.
He directed his gaze to one of the tables, and you can quickly understand that he wanted you to be seated. There was already a bottle, in what appeared to be Whiskey.
You were already nervous about the date and now about your mother, but now your tension seemed to be tripled, how would you refuse to drink without looking suspicious?
"You look tense," he said.
“It's just your impression” You tried to give a little smile that showed confidence, but you don't think it should have worked out very well, you were emanating distrust.
"Do you want some?" He asked, taking the bottle.
"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to get drunk" He must have noticed your features, as he seemed to be analyzing your discomfort.
"Are you afraid of me, Ms. (Y/L/N?)" He said it very directly.
In fact, you weren't scared, you were nervous as hell, you were thinking so much, so many possibilities, that you were almost going crazy.
"No, I'm not afraid of you."
"And do you know who I am?" He said accusingly.
"I know, but why the question?"
"Who are you?" He seemed suspicious of you. You felt your hands sweat from the tension.
"I am no one, I mean, no one you need to worry about."
He seemed to study you with those blue eyes.
"So why don't you drink a little ..." You felt your patience wear out.
"Because I can't drink, damn it!!". You yelled.
He seemed intrigued by your nervousness, but you were not caring, your body was tingling, and you were only thinking about the baby.
“Do you have a phone here? Call a doctor, please. ” You said, and he didn't seem to understand so he remained seated.
"Damn, please, I need you to call a doctor, I need to see if everything is okay with the b..."
You barely finished speaking, when your vision started to darken, the only thing you remember is him hugging you from behind and holding your body so you don't fall off the chair, then everything went black, and all you thought about was your child.

✧ Aspect Series ✧
hey everyone! I'm back with another installment to my aspect series sorry it has been a while life has just been hectic! I also apologize for any typo or grammatical errors you may find I assure you there are probably many. Anyways I hope you enjoy this superficial trip through one of my aspects!
Again this was inspired by seeing people say that not all the aspects in our chart manifest the same in our lives and might not even be as prevalent as others. So how I'm doing this is I'm gonna take a look at one of the aspects in my chart on an individual, albeit superficial, level and we'll see if I relate to it or not in any way. I won't be taking into account the signs or houses when looking into it I just want this to be more general. Hopefully that make sense! Please remember I’m not a professional astrologer I’m just trying to learn more about astrology. Alright let’s do this!
Sun square Saturn
difficulties early in life due to criticism from authority figures
hidden insecurities
might have low self-esteem
self-critical and hard on oneself
tend to self censor
Defensive and sensitive
Limited/restricted self expression
Unsure of oneself
might've grown up quickly
Gets better with time
So honestly I have seen a lot about this aspect and it seems to be labeled like one of the big, bad scary aspects to have. And apparently it’s a strong aspect for me so this should be fun let’s dive in!
Alright so this aspect spoke a lot about insecurities and restriction on self expression and character which I do in a way relate to. When I was a kid I was extremely outgoing and very social (and I still am but to a lesser extent) i am much more guarded around people than i used to be and i don't really have an explanation as to why it sort of just happened. I do have a lot of insecurities especially about my weight and just appearance in general and much of that comes from my parents specifically my father *cough cough* Saturn *cough* lol.
So when one of the biggest things said about this aspect was criticism from authority figures early in life i felt that man. Now don't get me wrong I don't have a bad relationship with my dad, but it did really affect me a lot when i started gaining weight when i was younger, around 13, and my dad started saying that I would be so pretty if i were thin again and would just make comments about how i needed to workout more and eat healthier. I knew in his mind he thought he was helping me but in reality it was just very hurtful to a young impressionable girl. This caused me to become very insecure about my weight and how I looked to the point were I would only ever where jeans, sweaters, and t-shirts anything that would kind of shroud me. I was so insecure that anytime someone looked at me i would begin to wonder what they thought and i would get a bit uncomfortable and would just want them to look away because in my mind there was no way they could think i was attractive because i wasn't thin. My self esteem was basically non existent but I would always pretend like I wouldn't care what others thought about me and i would pretend to be much more confident than i actually was (and i think that might also come from the Leo in me).
Thankfully when I was in high school I met some amazing friends and they truly just boosted me up and I really began to feel more comfortable in my own skin. Of course it was still hard especially when i was in college and dating because my insecurities were so deeply embedded into me. I would still find myself thinking this person doesn't like me they're just being really nice, or they just see me as a friend, or is there something on my face why are they looking in my direction. I still am insecure about myself to this day and i unfortunately don't think that will ever change because we are humans we are not perfect but I'm trying to not let them run my life and hinder me (and like it says this aspect gets better with time so has my self-esteem so don't fret if you have this aspect).
I also do feel like I grew up quickly because I had older siblings who had their own problems that i witnessed at a young age. I saw the pain that my family faced as a result of their actions and because of that i always told myself okay I can't make the same mistakes. So I became extremely strict with myself. I never allowed myself to drink, smoke or do any type of drugs (even to this day), while in high school i never dated, I made sure I never asked anyone for money all in efforts to make sure I wouldn't make the same mistakes. And i just prohibited myself from many things a lot of people my age were doing and just became really hard on myself if i ever made a mistake.
Because of all this I would sometimes feel like i didn't have a personality and just in general felt like nobody really knew me. A lot of people in my life would say things like i was very serious, or i am quiet, or not very affectionate when in reality I am the opposite. I'm someone who loves being around people and just joking around, going on random adventures with people. I actually hate being alone not because i hate being with my inner thoughts or anything like that but just because i honestly get bored and would much rather be talking to someone. But again even though i love talking to people and getting to know them i feel like i can never truly open up to anyone and be 100% honest with them because a part of me feels like they wont be able to accept me. So i feel like i can never be my true self and even now i don't think there is anyone in the world that knows the real me even my closest friends and its honestly a very lonely feeling sometimes which is part of the reason i created my tumblr.
Now while looking into this I did see that a good chunk of people who said they have this aspect say they have from some form of anxiety and depression. I myself do not have anxiety or depression, but if anyone who comes across this post does and who just needs someone to talk to, vent to, or needs someone who will just listen to them please feel free to reach out to me and I will be that person for you. Please don’t feel like you have to go through hardships alone or that you don’t have anyone who cares for you because even if I may not know you personally I care for about you as a living, breathing person who has every right to be heard and loved.
Now all that might've seemed very dark but in actuality even though it is a lonely feeling sometimes and my insecurities aren't fun (but then again when are they ever) for the most part i am very happy. I tend to not put a lot of meaning on things that make me feel down. I am the type of person who is easily entertained and pretty much fascinated by everything and let me tell you i'm glad because it makes life a lot more fun.
Now with that being said I think that is all for this LONG post. Please let me know if anyone with this aspect relates to anything in any way shape or form. Again please remember I’m not an astrologer so sorry if anyone finds this inaccurate this is just what I found and what I deduced. If you guys have other information on this aspect please let me know I’m always eager to learn more!
I hope you guys enjoyed this! Take care of yourselves please :)

My darling
Loki goes on a mission and left his wife and daughter at home.
Warnings: nothing I think
Words: 1281
(Gif not mine)
Tumblr media
I groaned annoyed by the sun's rays and turned to Loki's side of the bed, catching him already looking at me. "Good morning." I greet him, stroking his bare shoulder. "Good morning, my darling." I smiled subconsciously at the nickname and leaned towards him to kiss him. "Shower, breakfast and then we go to the meeting with those idiots?" "Lokes..." "Right. Let's have breakfast first, otherwise you might get your new clothes dirty." "They are not idiots." I said, snorting. "Oh, they are not?" "...A little... Sometimes." Loki chuckled. "But this is not the point." Loki looked at me and stroked my cheek, then whispering something in Asgardian, as he liked to do lately. "Can you speak an understandable language?" I asked, amused. "You are beautiful." He then said in English, and I shaked my head. "You're particularly prone to lies today, huh?" "Oh stop it darling." I got out of bed, finding a Loki shirt, which I put on, and then some shorts. "That's mine." "No longer." "Sooner or later I'll have to see how many of my shirts are in your closet." "Maybe it's better if you don't, are you coming?" Loki got out of bed and put on his boxers, smiling slyly when he noticed all the other clothes on the floor. "Come on, perv." I laughed and pushed him out of the room, shaking my head. "Don't push me, mortal." We heard a noise coming from the room next to ours, and I smiled. "Mom! Dad!" "Hey, Princess." Loki greeted our daughter and picked her up, making her smile. We went down stairs and entered the kitchen, but we heard someone ring at the door. "Cap..." I whisper confused. "Hi Y/N, sorry for the inconvenience." "No, no... Don't worry." "Loki, we have to go on a mission." I looked at Loki angry. "Why did not you tell me?" "I found out now too. We said I had right to a break." He then said turning to Steve. "I know but..." "Loki, give me the baby and go get ready." I told him with confidence, so he looked at me and nodded. "Hi, Uncle Steve." Freya greeted Steve, smiling at him. "Hi doll." "You ready?" Y/N asked Loki as he emerged from the stairs. "Honey, go to the kitchen for a moment, I'll come and we'll make breakfast." Freya run to the kitchen. "We will wait for you outside, Loki." Cap closed the door and I walked over to the raven.
"Do not die." I whispered, stroking his cheek. "I've died several times, my darling." "Your daughter wasn't there. Come back to us Loki, come back to me." "I promise you, love." He told me and I grabbed the horns of his helmet to pull him down towards me. I kissed him and felt my eyes water. "Go, or I swear I'll tie you up and won't let you out." I said giggling, to ease the tension. "I love you." "I love you too, Loki. You better survive, or I'll kill you." He opened the door and walked out, looking at me one last time.
It had been two months since Loki and the Avengers had left and I haven't heard from them since, other than a few articles on the news. Every night I stood up until two hoping that Loki would open the door and comes to meet me, but that didn't happen. Freya had been crying for two days because she didn't know where her father was and that certainly didn't help me not to feel stressed. "Mom, when will dad come back?" "Enough Freya!" I said as I got up from the sofa. "I don't know when your father will come back, I don't know!" I kept saying her, raising my voice. "Go to your room, please." I went back to the sofa and she went into the bedroom with tears in her eyes. I sighed and rubbed my eyes, feeling guilty about my outburst. Loki was totally smitten with his little girl and Freya did know and, daughter of her father, she used it to get what she wanted. Freya was a daddy's girl and treating her that way just because I was stressed was awful.
After a few minutes I heard her footsteps and she approached me. "Sorry mom, I didn't mean to make you angry." "I miss daddy too, but you have to wait a little longer, okay?" She nodded, went to the kitchen, came back with a glass of water and sat on the sofa next to me. "Can you do that thing with water?" She asked me, smiling. I nodded, put the glass on the floor and made the water floating. Freya laughed and got off the couch, so I directed the water towards her.
"Come on, go to sleep Princess." She nodded and went to the bedroom, so I went back to watch TV. The door clicked and I immediately lifted my head, noticing Thor and Cap holding Loki. "Put him on the sofa." I said, hoping the whole mess doesn't wake Freya up. "Loki, can you explain to me what the fuck you did, you fucking idiot?!" "Language..." "Shut up Cap!" I said, removing Loki's hair from his forehead. "That guy... He wanted... He wanted to hurt you and Freya." "So is it better to risk dying?" "For you, yes." He whispered and I held back the tears. "Loki, you can't die, okay?" "I've already died... A couple of times." He said hoarsely as I stroked his face. "Thor, keep him awake. I'll go get the first aid kit." "No, wait..." Loki took my wrist and looked at Thor and Steve, who understood and walked out. "Kiss me..." "Loki... Loki you're dying, what the fuck are you saying?!" "Please." "Then will you let me treat you?" "Yes, I promise, but there won't be any need." He smiled, amused, and I kissed him. When I broke the kiss the wounds no longer had blood, instead... They were not even there. "You, you asshole... You can heal yourself!" "Yeah, and you forgot about it." He chuckled and I slapped him on the abdomen. "Idiot, idiot!" "Did you miss me, my darling?" "No, absolutely not. Asshole." I got up, seeing that I was on my knees, and went to our room, with tears in my eyes. "Darling, sorry..." I heard him say and he followed me. "Why did you do that?" "Cause..." "Amazin, you don't even have a excuse." I got into bed, my back to Loki's side. I heard the bed creak, a sign that he was lying down.
"Are you mad?" "Tremendously." "You hate me?" "Yup." "Can I hug you?" "if you want to." "Darling, I'm sorry." "Sure." I smiled without him realizing it. "You love me?" "Too much, too much." Loki kissed my neck, and I sighed. "You are beautiful." "Still with this story?" Loki put me with my back against the bed. "You're beautiful..." He kissed my neck. "Wonderful..." Again. "Superb..." And again. "Fantastic..." Again. "And I love you." "Do you know you shouldn't lie?" "And who is lying?" "Loki..." I whispered. "I certainly am not." He kept, kissing my neck. "Loki. Enough." "How boring you are. I've missed you these two months." "Freya starts school tomorrow, we have all day alone." Very well." "Definitely." Loki stood beside me and I rested my head on his muscular chest." Goodnight, my Queen." "Goodnight, my King."

Falling for you
Tumblr media
The second installment of my drabble series. Let me know what you think about it. A big thank you again to @fortheloveoffanfic for being my beta 💗 Happy reading everyone
Also here are the songs played at the pub:
Bean Pháidín , Tell me Ma-Gaelic Storm , Galway Girl - Fiddler's Green
Summary: A few weeks later finds the reader in all kinds of embarrassing situations - mostly tripping over stuff or falling over people - right in front of Lee
Warnings: none, besides fluff, clumsiness and a little tinge of jealousy
Words: 2231
Another day on the set of the second installment of the Hobbit series and already you felt like the clumsiest of all people on set. Either you’d slip, trip or let stuff fall to the ground. But it wasn’t random, it only happened whenever you were around Lee or in his close proximity.
James and Martin had made fun of the fact that it would only happen with the tall actor, but you waved them off and of course Benedict chimed into the scheme.
“If I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re falling for the King, luv.” he said one time while the four of you had been granted a break from filming. “You make a fool out of yourself because there’s that one person that makes your heart skip a beat.”
Angrily shuffling your food around the plate, you glared at the British actor. “Well thank you for the vote of confidence. If you hadn’t said it I wouldn’t have known I was such a joke on set.”
“What Ben means to say, dear,” James started, putting his hand on your arm. “is, that when you feel something for another person you get clumsy, do crazy things or fall all over yourself because you can’t concentrate around them. All three of us went through that when we met the women we knew would one day be our wives. It has nothing to do with you being bad at your work, the opposite, actually.”
Reluctantly you nodded your head, feeling like you just made a fool out of yourself again in front of those that were your friends. “I’m sorry, it’s just that I’ve never been like that before and I fear if this happens more Pete will get tired of me messing up. I don’t want to lose this job.”
“You won’t,” Martin said with so much conviction, you couldn’t help but give him a small, teary smile. “Peter isn’t like that. He values your work as part of the crew and how you bring up new ideas or possible changes. Now if you were to set the whole place on fire that would be another case.”
Ben and James laughed softly and you couldn’t help the giggle escaping your lips when you listened to him. You were very lucky to have friends like them or you’d probably would have resigned after the first incident. “Thank you, you have no idea how much I needed this.” you said sending them a grateful smile. "But now I got to head back to work. The king on his throne is waiting for me."
All three laughed before Martin called after you. "Be careful up there and if you fall, fall in his lap, that's a lot more comfortable than the ground." he joked when you had turned back to the three actors but waved him off with your own middle finger. You knew he had a knack for putting his fingers up for the camera when he shouldn't and you were sure there were some scenes he snuck his middle finger in, just like he always did.
A chorus of laughter followed as you righted your work bag and made your way back to the set with Thranduil's throne.
Orlando stood underneath it, grinning up at Lee dressed up as the Elvenking and waited his turn. "Looking good, dad." he called with a chuckle and you could see the tall actor grin.
"Thank you, son. I feel very good up here." he answered leaning back on the chair, trying to fix his robes and wig as best as he could while a few strands were hanging in the branches of his crown.
Peter saw you emerging from the mass and called you over. "Ah, Y/N, good that you're here. Lee's just had a bit of a stumble up the stairs but we'll be doing a few headshots of him and well, you see the mess."
"Sure, I'll get right on it." you told him, taking a deep breath and steeling yourself so you'd be as relaxed as possible while working on fixing the actor. When he saw you approaching, Lee stood up and made to walk down, but you halted him with a motion of your hand. "Stay, I'm coming up so there's no repeat of that."
He stayed standing, watching you make your way up the stairs. Thank God there were handrails just in case. "If you insist
I could have come down, didn't want you to fall to your doom, dear mortal."
"Charms get you everywhere, huh?" you asked him with a grin as you ascended to the Weta built throne, pointing to the seat so he would sit back down again, keeping his long legs tugged to chair so you could start your work on his hair.
"So far it worked out rather well, I think." He told you, smiling as you gently pulled a strand away from the branch of his crown.
You couldn't help the small smile forming on your face as you listened to his jokes while you freed the last of his hair and righted his crown. A final touch of powder over his nose and you were finished. "Now, you're all done and you're looking regal again." You packed up your bag and turned to descend the stairs when you lost your footing and if it hadn't been for Lee's swift reaction, you would have tumbled down.
Short puffs of breath were leaving your mouth when you held on tightly to his shoulders, his arms circling your waist as you had fallen into his lap with that move. "Hello there." he whispered, watching your shocked face, eyes blown wide with fear. "You okay?"
Biting your lip, you couldn't help but enjoy the feel of his hands on your hip, the warmth spreading through your clothes. "I-I'm sorry, I, the stairs…I guess…missed steps." you brokenly mumbled, apparently having forgotten how to talk when you looked into his blue eyes. The contact lenses only intensified his gaze.
"Yeah, they're dangerous." Lee agreed, his head leaning closer, the rest of the world around you forgotten.
Yet before he could close the gap, Peter interrupted you with a loud whistle. "If you two turtledoves are ready, we'd like to continue." he called out to you with a chuckle. Of course everyone had seen that and you already felt the heat of your blush rising all over your body.
Carefully, yet hastily you scrambled off of Lee's lap and made your way down the stairs and to the back of the set. You would have loved for the ground to swallow you up when Benedict had come over and grinned at you.
"So, I don’t think you will tell me what that up there was.” he said matter of fact, knowing you wouldn’t even be able to describe it.
“Nope,” you said, eyeing the actor and PJ going over the next scenes with a dummy. “I’d rather leave it like it is. This is just too embarrassing."
He put his arm around your shoulders pulling you close. Martin was just walking around the corner having seen the whole thing and he instantly knew you'd be shutting down, only doing your work and nothing more, keeping your distance from Lee. The Brit found the eyes of his friend and co-Sherlock-actor, nodding once, then twice. They were your friends and could see that the sparks between their fellow actor and you were there, now they only needed to kindle the fire.
Tumblr media
"Oh, this is wonderful." you gushed, looking around the Irish pub everyone decided to visit at the eve of their day off. "It's been too long since I had so much fun besides being on set."
Already the ciders and beers and whisky were flowing and everyone was laughing and singing with the band that played that night. James had decided to take a row of tables next to the musicians so the cast and crew that wanted to go there would fit into the seats.
"You all deserve a time off after the amazing work you did." Peter said, raising his pint of Guinness for a toast. You all followed suit, calling out a shout of "Hear, hear."
Laughing and listening to all the stories everyone was telling about their time on set, you enjoyed the feeling of warmth that spread through you. Not because of the alcohol but because of your family away from home.
"Are you enjoying the music?" James asked after a short while, himself listening to the tunes and words from his home country.
Nodding your head, you clapped your hands to the rhythm and smiled as a few people started to dance to the songs you couldn't understand the lyrics to. “What is she singing about?” you asked him, leaning in so he could understand the words with the louder music.
"It’s a really old Irish song, dating back hundreds of years in Ireland. This is one of the funny old Irish songs that is sung by a woman, and she sings about another woman." the Irish actor tried to explain over the loud music. "Back in the day women would get together and sing this song about the woman in town that was married to the man that they all wanted to be married to. ‘It’s a pity that I’m not Phaidin’s wife,’ and this woman who’s married to him, they hate her, and as the verses go on, they talk about what they’d like to do to her, like they want to break her legs and get rid of her and do anything to be this man’s wife. It’s a fun song. Irish music is like that. When you translate the words, sometimes it’s like gruesome and dark, but they’re meant in a lighthearted way."
You were always blown away by the way such a story could be shown in a nice tune. "The music is so lively, you'd never guess it's such a sad and dark story behind it."
"That's just the way the Irish are." James grinned at you before another song was starting.
"For our next song we'd love for you guys to get up, dance some more and just have fun." the female singer announced and waved to all patrons in the pub. The violin, banjo and drum began to play the first chords before the singer joined in. "Tell me ma when I go home, the boys won't leave the girls alone."
Benedict and James smiled at you, holding their hand out and pulled you from your seat and onto the provided dance floor where others had already started twirling around. "Let's dance and have some fun." the Brit said, giving you a twirl.
You couldn't help the smile that found its way on your lips as you danced around with the two actors, unbeknownst of the dark blue eyes following your moves. The dance was exhilarating and both James and Ben led you through the steps, jumping and twirling with other patrons until you were out of breath and another song was over.
When you came back to get something to drink you saw one of the seats being vacant. Lee was missing from the group of merry friends and you leaned over to Orlando, who had been sitting besides him. "Where did your dad disappear to?" you asked him, mirth coloring your words as you took a large sip of your drink.
He turned to you and smiled, patting the seat next to him, so you didn't have to stand. You were grateful for that with your feet aching from all the dancing you did with his fellow actors. "He said he needed to get back to the hotel, his flight back to the States is taking off early." Orlando said and your face must have shown your confusion as you didn't know Lee was needed back in America. "Shooting for Guardians of the Galaxy is starting in a few days and he wanted to get back earlier so he arranged it in the last few days. Peter knew about it, I'm surprised he didn't tell you."
"Oh, no, I really didn't know and Lee hadn't mentioned anything before." the disappointment colored your words and you sank back down in your seat. You couldn't help the feeling that it was something that recently happened and especially something you did or he would have been open enough to talk to you.
The British actor patted your leg and grinned. "Don't worry, he'll be back before you know it. Once he's done with that movie Lee's going to annoy us again with his dad jokes."
Nodding your head, you tried to feel confident, but still you didn't know why he didn't at least wait until you were back at the table to say his goodbyes. No he just left without so much as a word. Of course you were only there doing his make - up and hair but you had hoped that in the time you worked together you at least had become friends. Giving the dark haired actor a small smile you made your way back to your corner seat, staring off into space and trying not to get too drunk on your cider while thinking about why not even Peter had bothered to tell you his Elvenking was leaving the set sooner than planned.

"Don't you look ... depressed." you mumbled, taking a seat next to the spaced out, lacrosse co-captain. You poked your finger into his dimple, smiling when he broke out of his daze. The sand shifted under you, the dampness pulling at the ripped denim. "Why're you staring at the ocean like you lost the love of your life?"
Emmett chuckled, taking the cheap beer from your hand, swallowing it all before grinning at you. Your best friend from middle school that had to be dragged out of his sweats draped an arm around you. "I was trying to look mysterious. This bonfire is a bore, by the way."
"I know, last year seemed more fun, didn't it?" you agreed, laying your head on his shoulder, the muscles making it slightly uncomfortable. "How's the hand?"
"It's fine, don't worry. You said you had something to tell me, remember? What is it? Are you secretly in love with your bodyguard? The buffy one that keeps glaring at me?" Emmett joked, groaning when he felt your elbow hitting his ribs. "Ow!"
"These FBI agents came to the house today and asked a bunch of questions about my dad's old partner. They never said anything about what the guy did so I was wondering if you heard anything on the news? The guy's name is Andrew Daniels. I looked him up but nothing came up." you informed. "My dad was acting edgy."
Emmett raised an eyebrow, flinching when the water crept to his feet. "I haven't heard anything. What did the Feds ask you?"
"If I remembered anything about him basically. They were really hot, by the way. Especially the tall one, and his partner had the most beautiful green eyes--"
"Okay, okay, okay. I get it, they were hot." he interrupted, waving a hand to stop you from finishing the sentence. "Other from being interrogated by the Feds, did anything else happen?"
"Nah, I just watched my skin burn for the rest of the day, what about you?"
"Declan came home today, and we worked out. He kept asking about you, wondering if you were dating anyone. He's so fucking annoying. Did you really have to date my brother?" asked Emmett, playing with the solo cup before throwing it into the ocean.
The party behind you had started to die down after the first few hours, turning into a chill hangout around the large bonfire, while others wandered out into the dark ocean. The light from the tacky fairy lights and the burning fire was enough for everyone to see the major part of the beach without difficulties.
"My bad." you shrugged, noticing a movement from the corner of your eye. Glancing to your left, you saw two familiar faces, an eyebrow lifting. Green eyes in the dark met yours, and you quickly look away, mumbling under your breath. "Well, fuck me."
Emmett stiffened, looking in the direction you had, confused and wary. "What? What's going on?"
"Those are the agents I told you about," you said, biting your lip to hold back the smile. You had no reason to smile, especially if they were here but they made an impression, and the tuxes certainly helped.
"Dude, one of them is coming over. Stop smiling like you're the joker. I know you like them but chill." Emmett elbowed your ribs lightly, enough to knock the maniac smile off your face.
The sound of the ocean was loud enough to drown your whispers as Banner walked over. The suit had been replaced with a plaid flannel paired with a heavy, drab coat, and a pair of jeans that looked uncomfortable. With the confidence, he carried, he seemed, even more, intimidating out of his suit.
"Ms. Pierce?" Agent Banner checked, watching as you stood from your seat, his lips quirking into a smile.
Emmett stood with you, not missing the barely visible twinkle in your eyes. Fixing your denim shorts, you returned the smile. "Agent Banner. You don't have to call me Ms. Pierce. I mean, I told you my name for a reason."
He chuckled, goosebumps rising on your arm as he murmured your name. "Alright, well then, I'm Sam."
"Okay, Sam. Oh, um, this is my friend, Emmett." you motioned to the blond beside you, a smug smirk etched on his face despite his attempts to bite it back.
"I was going to get more ... water. Be right back." Emmett injected before Sam could say anything. He left immediately, practically running back to the bonfire where many teens had circled around.
Sam stuffed his hands in his jacket's pockets, looking at the ground as Emmett left you alone with the man you wanted to climb like a tree. Your nails dug into your palm as you clench a fist, trying to contain what Emmett called your 'inner slut.' "What exactly are you doing here, Agent?"
"Sam." he corrected, a stray hair falling over his eyes. Sam brushed it back, his eyes never leaving yours. "I wouldn't want to worry you anymore than we've probably have. We're handling the situation, but you should avoid Finn Burke."
Dread washed through you, as did confusion. "Finn Burke? Whatever your thinking, you're wrong. I've known Finn my whole life and he's not the kind of person who'd do anything illegal. He's so vanilla and lowkey boring."
The brunette in front of you raised a brow, a little surprised by the honesty. "I wouldn't be too sure. Promise me you'll keep your distance from him. At least, until we've handled the situation."
"And what does that mean?" you asked, crossing your arms, patiently waiting for the gorgeous Fed to answer.
He opened his mouth, only to close it a second later. Sam shook his head, taking a step back. "Don't think too much about it."
Before you could question him, someone called your name. Looking behind Sam, you saw your friends, Katherine and Crystal wiggling their eyebrows, Katherine winked at you while Crystal bravely humped the air. A laugh escaped your lips, causing Sam to turn around. They immediately stopped, quickly turning around, their shoulders shaking from laughter. Unfortunately, Sam had seen enough to blush profusely.
You giggled, covering your grin with your hand. You changed the subject quickly, "You look like a narc. Like, one of those cops from 21 Jump Street who shops at Lumberjacks 'R' Us. I'd say you're the Channing Tatum, but you're taller than him."
Sam chuckled, rocking back and forth on his heels. "I'd expect you to say that considering how short you are. Hey! Not in a bad way, it's cute how tiny you are."
"I don't think that counts, everyone shorter than six feet belongs in the short category for you." you replied, struggling to keep from blushing at his previous statement. "I mean, you're a giant."
This warranted a laugh from Sam. Peeking behind you, he spotted Dean waving him over, an annoyed expression imprinted onto his face. Ignoring his own brother, he turned his attention back to you. "Says the short cheerleader. You know, I could bust you right now, I can smell the alcohol from here."
"Ooh, kinky." you joked, causing Sam to cough violently. You threw your head back in laughter while the agent's choking eased. Looking back at his partner, Agent Stark who had mastered the bitch face, glaring at the giant in front of you. You pointed your thumb towards Stark. "I think your partner wants to talk to you."
Sam coughed once more, clearing his throat as he looked over at his annoyed partner. "I should see what he wants. Try to stay out of trouble."
"I'll call you when I turn eighteen, Sam." you murmured, brushing up against his arm as you passed him. You felt him tense beside you for a second, and you smirked, walking away. Looking back, you saw Sam glaring at his feet. "Don't die!"
You were already out of ear shot before Sam could muster up a reply.
"Dude, we're on a case." Dean lectured, shaking his head at his flustered brother. Sam raised an eyebrow, too distracted by what the young—beautiful—girl had implied. Dean rolled his eyes, motioning for his brother to follow him. "Wait until we're done til you hit that."
Sam's eyes widened, glaring at his brother. "She's seventeen, Dean."
"Wow, she doesn't look seventeen. Whatever." dismissed Dean, slightly irritated by the amount of sand entering his shoes. "I talked to the stoned douchebag, and from what I can tell, we were right. Andrew Daniels is a vampire, turned that Finn kid, and in the process of growing a large nest."
"Did you find out where the nest is?" Sam asked, more worried than usual for the victim. He still couldn't place what was so different and intriguing about the girl.
Dean shook his head, and Sam couldn't help the exasperated sigh that left his lips. The green-eyed man clapped his brother's shoulder. "Relax, we'll find it. For now, we keep an eye on Finn and take him out when he's alone. You told your girlfriend to stay away from her ex-boyfriend, right? Or did you forget while you were ogling her?"
The younger brother ignored Dean's jab, nodding. "Yeah, but we should look out for her. She isn't entirely convinced he's dangerous. Not that I blame her, he looks like he'll cave if someone threatened his dog."
"Okay. I'm guessing you want to stalk her while I behead Edward Cullen?" Dean blocked a slap from his brother, smirking at the response he had gotten. Sam's bitch face was enough for him to draw a conclusion. "I'll take that as a yes."
"Jerk."
"Bitch."
Sam glanced around the beach, dread washing over him when he couldn't find her. "Call me when you're done."
Under his breath, Dean mumbled, "How much can someone hate their kid enough to name them Finn?"
Excusing yourself, you slid out under Emmett's embrace, wiggling your empty cup at him. Too focused on getting to the cooler without tripping, you hadn't noticed Finn Burke following you until you inadvertently tripped over your feet, a pair of strong arms catching you. To your surprise—and disappointment—it wasn't the shaggy-haired FBI agent you had been thinking about all night.
Still, you couldn't help the grin that appeared on your lips, happy to see your friend. "Hey, you made it! Aren't you a little bit late?"
Finn smiled softly, helping you to steady your legs, keeping an arm around you as you both headed to the cooler. "I got here an hour ago but Tom wanted me to help out with a prank. Are you sure you should be drinking anymore?"
"I'm getting water since my dad is so adamant I stay safe tonight. I haven't drunk much but my legs are jelly," you replied, leaning on the toned soccer player. His piercing gray eyes drifted to yours, narrowing as he studied you. "Seriously, I'm not drunk, just clumsy."
"Let's get you some water," muttered Finn, sitting you down on one of the portable lawn chairs someone had brought. You relaxed in your seat, giving him your empty solo cup. After a few seconds, he handed it back, the solo cup now filled with water. "Drink this."
You gulped the water down, thirsty from talking all night. "Thanks. How's— hey, are you okay?"
He slowly nodded, his gaze fixed on your throat as he licked his lips. "Yeah, just a little tired. Finals really took it out of me, and I've been sleeping for the past few days. I wanted to talk to you about something."
"What's up?"
"Do you wanna go to my car? It's just so crowded here and it's important," said Finn, looking around. You mirrored his actions, confused, seeing everyone around the bonfire, several meters away while the rest were swimming in the ocean. "I'm not looking to hookup, I promise. Just some peace and quiet."
Against your better judgment, you ignored Sam's warning and nodded, taking his hand as you stood up. "Okay, sure. Let's go."
The walk to his car was silent, the air warm and salty enough to make you tired, even after the day of laying around and doing nothing. You yawned, covering your lips with one hand while Finn held the other. Despite your gut telling you to return back to the bonfire, you gave Finn the benefit of the doubt. After all, you'd know him since you were in diapers. He couldn't hurt
you.
You breathe in a sigh of relief as you saw the blue jeep under the warm light, allowing you to see a lot more than in the brief darkness. Leaning against the jeep, you faced him. "So, what did you wanna talk about?"
"How did it feel when you broke up with me in front of my friends?" he asked, taking a step closer. There was a glimmer in his eyes that made your spine shiver.
"What?" you mentally slapped yourself for letting your voice shake. He took another step closer, a predatory look washing over his face. Instinctively, you went to take a step back, realizing you were stuck between Finn and the jeep. If the unspoken threat hadn't been looming over your head, then the inability to speak about the breakup would've been more than uncomfortable.
Finn's smirk grew, one that you've never seen before. Out of all the things you would've described your friend, dangerous wouldn't've been one of them; it wouldn't have come close. "Did you feel satisfied when they pitied me? Happy when they witnessed you list every single flaw I have?"
"Finn, you know I didn't realize they were there. I thought you were alone. I would never do that to you." you reasoned, placing a hand over your heart. Your heartbeat was painfully loud, beating in your ears. "You're my friend."
He scoffed, eyes darkening as they focused on your neck, head tilting as he brushed away your hair for a better view at your pulse. "Friend? You'd throw me under the bus to save your ass. Even you'd kill your daddy for your survival. You're a selfish, pathetic bitch."
Anger bubbled up inside you, pushing the fear deep inside you. You opened your mouth to speak only to close it when a hand wrapped around your throat, shoving you up against the jeep, your head hitting the metal with a force that left your ears ringing in pain. Your vision blurred, body limped, and lungs screaming for air. In an attempt, you clawed at his arm but the gesture only seemed to make him laugh.
"Please." you gasped out, the corners of your vision slowly turning black. Finn lets out an inhuman growl, throwing his head back, several teeth growing in when he opened his mouth.
The soccer player leaned in quickly, and you prepared for the sharp pain but nothing came. For a moment, you were confused, wondering if the lack of air was the result of the blackness, only to realize you had shut your eyes. The hand on your throat lessened, a panicked voice in the back of your mind, and something wet splattered on your chest. A worried voice called your name, a pair of warm arms caught you as you slumped down.
You slowly opened your eyes, disoriented and puzzled to see Sam in front of you, his arms wrapped around your waist as he held you up. With wide eyes, you looked around, waiting for Finn to ambush the both of you, only to meet Agent Stark's angry eyes. But he wasn't glaring at you. Sam called out your name once again, bringing your attention back to him. "Sam?"
He sighed in relief, checking out your neck where you would later find out was bruised. "Are you okay? Didn't I tell you to stay away from that douchebag? Fuck, I'm sorry."
You were overwhelmed by the rollercoaster of emotions Sam displayed, surprised by his tight grip on your waist. Glimpsing at Agent Stark--who had bit his lip to keep from laughing at his brother's worriedness--you saw the blood-covered blade he held. You followed the trail of blood, eyes popping out of their sockets when you saw Finn laying on the parking lot; without his head. "Oh. Looks like he lost his head."
Stark burst out laughing, unable to contain his surprise at your ease about the bloody situation. Sam glared at his brother, letting you go as you processed what had happened. "Hey, listen to me. Dean and me have to go. We think there's more monsters like Finn after your dad."
The mention of your father broke you out of your state, a hand quickly grabbing Sam's. With panicked eyes, you looked at him. "No, no. I'm coming with."
"It's not safe." Dean responded, cleaning the blood off his blade, grimacing when a few droplets made contact with his skin. Sam nodded in agreement. "There's going to be a whole nest of vampires, and we can't protect you and save you dad."
You opened your mouth to protest, goosebumps rising as you heard the word. Vampires. Subconsciously, you looked at your former friend's decapitated head, the sharp fangs intact, beaming under the street lamp. "Is that what he was? A vampire?"
"Yes," Sam replied, waiting for you to scream, run away, slap them for killing your lifelong friend, or anything other than quietly processing the information like they just told you something other than the existence of supernatural beings. "We're hunters, we save people from things that go bump in the night."
"The vampire that turned your friend is Andrew Daniels, the man who threatened your dad. We have to go, there might be a whole nest of vampires at your house--" Dean stopped, halting when he saw his brother's glare. He got the message: worrying the girl, even more, would not help them in any way.
You pushed yourself away from Sam's arms, grimacing when you stepped in the pool of Finn's blood. "If my dad's in danger then I'm coming with."
"No way," said Sam, shaking his head immediately. "It's dangerous, and you could get hurt more than you already have. Let us handle this, and we'll come back to get you when the coast is clear."
The logical part of you agreed with him; you had no knowledge of how to kill vampires, or anything supernatural for that part, and being there meant being in the way of these men doing their jobs. The reckless, anxious part of you wanted to be there, wanted to be the one to save your dad even when you didn't know how, and wanted to make sure he would alright. You let the latter made up your decision. With a glower, you crossed your arms. "I'm going with you. Whether you want me to or not."
"Sweetheart," Dean sighed, knowing one more word from you and Sam would give in. For that matter, Dean would've too.
"Look, he's the only family I have left. If I lose him ... " you trailed off, incapable of finishing. It didn't matter how busy your father had been the past few years or the lack of attention you've gotten. He was family and that meant everything to you. Meeting Sam's eyes, you silently begged him. "Please. I'll be out of the way, you won't have to protect me or anything. Just ... please."
Dean wasn't surprised when Sam caved, his younger brother nodding at your request. The younger Winchester reluctantly agreed and Dean gave up, following his little brother's lead. "Alright, let's go."
You walked behind Dean, following his lead to the black Chevy Impala while Sam silently walked beside you, the height difference making it slightly difficult to read your expression. Dean noticed the once over you gave his baby, beaming at Sam who rolled his eyes. You got in the back, admiring the leather and built of the vintage car, while Sam and Dean sat in the front.
The drive was silent and tense. You didn't miss the way Dean kept glancing in the rear-view mirror or the not-so-subtle over the shoulder glances from Sam. It took a few minutes but a recently buried thought crawled its way to the center of your attention.
"You guys aren't really FBI are you?" you blurted, mentally slapping yourself for not coming to that conclusion much sooner.
"Nope," Dean answered, making the p pop. "But after a lifetime of pretending to be one, it really does make being in monkey suits bearable."
"So, what are you guys? Low budget Ghostbusters?" you questioned, getting a simple scoff-like chuckle from Dean while Sam bit back a smile at the creative jab. "Seriously. You just decapitated my ex-boyfriend who turns out to be a vampire. And I'm wondering if I'm insane for trusting two men who posed as FBI agents and dress like virgin lumberjacks."
The elder Winchester lets out a guffaw and Sam allowed a little laugh to fill the Impala. Sam answered your question, "We're hunters. Or Men of Letters, if you want the old term."
"Right, I'm gonna pretend like I know what that is." you mumbled, meeting Dean's eyes in the rear view mirror. "Can you go faster? No offense, but my dead grandma drives faster than you."
Dean huffed, noticeably pushing the gas pedal harder. "I'll let you get away with that since you're in shock and can't control yourself."
"I'm not in shock, I'm just running away from my problems until I inevitably have to face them." you sassed. During different circumstances, you would've been scared, and frustrated but the existence of all things supernatural hadn't sunk into your brain just yet, and you had been hoping you were dreaming.
The elder Winchester's lips twitched upward, despite the situation. With the speed Dean was going, due to the peer pressure from the teen in the backseat, the three of your arrived at the huge mansion. All the lights were on and the unfamiliar cars on the driveway worried you. As soon as your foot hit the walkway, you had the urge to run, only to be stopped by Sam.
Silently, he handed you a blade, the light from the bright lantern nearby bounced off the silver. Dean had made his way to the front door, scanning the place only to kill a vampire when he reached the first step. He gestured for Sam to follow him, wiping the blood on a bush. Sam turned his attention back to you.
"Stay here. We'll be back with your dad. Don't hesitate to kill them because they will have the intention of killing you." Sam commanded, his eyes flickering to the dead, unnoticed security guard with his throat slit. He looked away before you could follow his gaze. "Stay in the car, please? We'll save your dad, but I—we need to know you'll be safe."
You nodded, tightening your grip on the handle of the blade. "I promise."
The younger brother threw you one last look before following Dean, his own machete in hand. The two brothers silently broke in, weapons in hand as they entered the large mansion. You kept your back against the Impala, looking around for any sign of the supernatural. With the amount of time you've been given to process the existence of the supernatural, the information hadn't completely sunk in. Not even when you pondered Finn's death.
It didn't take long for you to notice Edgar's limp body strewn across a bush, your father's lead security detail: dead and bloody. You gagged, covering your lips with your free hand. The sight of Edgar's corpse made you act against Sam's wishes, yet again. Walking to the door, you gripped your weapon, taking a deep breath prior to following the hunter's lead.
As soon as you stepped inside, you spotted a path of blood, leading towards the kitchen. You immediately regretted your plan when you saw an array of decapitated vampires. Loud grunts lead you to the kitchen, your sandals nearly slipping on the trail of blood.
Sam spotted you as soon as you emerged from the arch, blood splattered across his face, his blade dripping. The scene was horrid; Sam and Dean faced a large group of vampires, your father bruised and injured, the only thing holding him up was the fanged vampire behind him. Their eyes followed Sam's, heads whipping, smug smirks on their face when they realized who they were looking at.
Three things happened in the next second; first, the group of vampires pounced on you. Second, the two hunters expertly beheaded the said vampires. And third, a very familiar face sank his ingrown fangs into your father's exposed neck. One vampire had sped to you, yet despite the silent gasp your father let out, you instinctively ran your blade against his neck, the force beheading the monster.
All your heads snapped to your father, the two vampires that stood behind the one feeding from your dad baring their fangs. Sam grabbed your waist, pulling you behind him. You struggled against his grasp, wanting nothing but to slice the vampire into pieces, craved to watch them bleed, craved to have their heads. But all you could do was watch as the vampire quickly fed from your father, his eyes glazing over. It all happened quickly, but you knew.
Both brothers advanced towards the vampires, only to be shoved against the wall as the familiar vampire met your eyes. Then you realized, the vampire was Andrew Daniels. A strangled cry rose from your throat as he smirked, pulling his lips away from your fathers throat, only to snap the CEO’s neck, discarding the limp body.
The cry was enough of a distraction to the vampires that Sam and Dean has the ability to kill them, leaving the Andrew standing. He smirked, undeterred by his dead friends. “I’ll see you soon, sweet pea.”
And with that, he was gone.
You slumped on the floor, tears brimming your eyes as you sat next to the corpse of your father. The Winchesters watched you, guilty they hadn’t kept their promise. Deep down, you knew it was your fault. Of course, not directly, but if you hadn’t triggered Andrew’s actions, then your father wouldn’t be dead. It was silent for a few minutes, and just like before, you didn’t have the mental or emotional capacity to react.
Dean helped you up, wiping your bloody hands with his jacket. He sent his brother a look, knowing what this meant. Sam nodded, understanding. You were there responsibly now.
“I don’t understand.” you said in a monotone voice. The shock still hasn’t worn off, and you were afraid it was all going to come crashing down on you.
Sam shot Dean a look, and the elder brother froze. He shrugged and Sam sighed. “Andrew Daniels has your scent. And by the looks of it, there’s still more to his nest. He won’t stop until you’re dead.” Sam paused, trying to detect anything other than the blank expression on you. “It’s better if you come with us.”
You shook your head, looking around the living room. The white carpet had been stained by blood, although the bodies had been disposed, and burned. The only corpse in the house was your father’s. The one you forbade them from burning. “No. No, no, no. I can’t. I have to stay here. I have to plan a funeral. Oh, my God, I have to plan a funeral. I have—I—“
“Shh.” Dean comforted, resting his hand on top of yours, squeezing lightly. He knew it was only a matter of time before the numbness wore off. “Hey, look at me. It’ll be okay. We’ll take care of you. No one will hurt you.”
You yanked your hand away from his, standing as you glared at the blood stained carpet. “I can’t! I can’t just abandon my home. I’m not going to abandon my dead father, and run off with some hunters who posed as Feds. I’m going to stay here, and I’m going to plan a funeral.”
Sam softly called your name. “I’m sorry. I know I made you a promise to save him, and I’m sorry I couldn’t. But you have to let us protect you. You don’t know us, and we barely know you. But this is what we do, and right now, you have a whole nest of vampires with your scent. Who knows when they’ll come back. I won’t have you stay here. It’s not safe.”
“And I’m safe with you?” you spat out, venom lacing your voice. Sam and Dean recoiled, flinching at your harsh tone.
They nodded, and Dean stood up. “We’ll protect you with our lives.”
And stupidly, you believed them.
