Info for writer in Thai series fandom: Pet name & tone indicator sound

Some words to call your lover

Sweet and polite

คุณ-khun or เธอ-tur with ฉัน-chan, เรา-rao or ผม-phom(offically this one is for men, but it did get used by women) are words that can be used with people who are not your lovers but are considered to be quite sweet to call your lover that. I already mentioned it in Chapter 4. Chan and tur are very popular choices for song lyrics.

ที่รัก-thirak straight up call a person "someone you love". Rak is love, so if we want it literally, it would be beloved or something along those lines. I never saw anyone actually use it seriously before. Just a parody of something, or like I do, to tease a friend. Or, if we count, I think I've heard a mom call her child "mom's thirak" before. We could add สุด-sud in the front, sudthirak, make it mean "someone you love most."

แฟน-faen Boyfriend/girlfriend but non-binary. If used as a pronoun, then it usually comes with those Thai sounds khrap/ka at the end. You probably need to draw the word out for good measure too. Its sound is the same as how the word fan in "fan club" is pronounced in Thai, so there are a lot of fan club or faen khrap puns/jokes used with actor shipping situations.

คนดี-kondee Khon is a unit of human in Thai, and dee is good. เด็กดี-dekdee Dek is a child, and dee is the same as dee in Khondee. I feel like both Khondee and Dekdee have a bit of a patronizing feeling. But not always in a bad way, though. Is that a thing? Like, if you used those words with someone sincere, you probably felt the urge to take care of them at least a little bit. You probably feel like they are a precious, cute little thing. Something like that The fact that Im 100% sure parents used dekdee with their children might factor into it. As for Kondee, I'm about 90% sure.

Dek means kid, but we use it quite loosely, so twenty-somethings get called Dek all the time, and if it were by an elderly person, then the Dek in question might as well be a mother of two.

พ่อ แม่-por and mae As in father and mother. Usually, it starts when a couple becomes parents. A fur baby will do too for some.

Insulting words as a pet name

เด๋อ-der clumsy, foolish, silly, awkward, stupid, dull, dump_ Those things mix together, but like, in a soft version. Usually used with something add to the front, such as ไอ้-Ai, เด็ก-dek, or some Thai's sound for tone indicator(?) to the back, or both.

อ้วน-uuan fat, chubby—อ้วน can actually be a parent-given nickname too. I know some women around my mom's age range whose nickname is that. Personally, if it says it in a particular way, I find it really cute.

เหนียง-niang double chin

เถิก-terk go bald,the description of a hair line that starts to recede.

ลุง-lung Uncle (the one that is older than the father) aka old man. Usually used by a noticeable younger person. Not that they actually date someone older than their dad, or do they?👀

เด็กโง่-dekngo Stupid child, but like, an endearingly stupid, childish person.

ดื้อ-due _Not obeying, refuse to comply_ often used to describe a child. I saw ดื้อ get translated to stubbon a lot, but personally, I find that not quite fitting (not that I have other words in mind). It might just be a me thing, though.

Probably a full-on PDA couple, act cute to each other 24/7

เล็ก-lek Small,tiny

ใหญ่-yai Big,giant

This two are a pair. Sometime it will have something added to it, ตัว-tua which means self/person/body, for exemple.

Animal + small or pi/nong/por(dad)/mae(mom) + animal Something like, cat, bear, pig, dog

Ex:Pi Muu(pig)/Nong Miao(cute alternative way to call cat)/Miao lek(small)/Por Mee(bear)

บี๋-bie Short from baby

Repeating a syllable of a nick name two times for a lovey-dovey pet name is also a thing.

ไอ้ต้าว-ai tao Tao is a meaningless sound that was derived from a word that was a prefix "เจ้า-Jao." It is used to express that the speaker thinks the person being mentioned is cute/childlike. They most likely appear with a strangely sweet voice. Sometimes used for friendly mocking of someone for being childlike.

youtube

Eng sub-cute dimples = Ai tao dimples

หนู-nhu Nhu is something that is used with children, but it also can be for a lover. Can be innocent or quite sinful depending on the context. (This one is already mentioned in Chapter 4 too)

เค้า Kao and ตัวเอง Tua-eng are a pair. Kao is for calling yourself, and Tuaeng is for calling your lover. What is of interest is that Kao typically refers to the third person, and Tuaeng refers to "oneself." It kind of gets perceived as something silly that people in love do. There are some words that are born from distorted "tuaeng" that you can use for a lover too, such as using only the first word "tua", shortening the "tua" sound to make it sound like 'ta-eng, or combining the two sounds to make it sound like "teng". The "Kao" might be replaced by other words such as Rao, and it might help lower the silliness, or not? Lately, I have seen some traders (usually women small business owners) call their customers Tuaeng to make them feel closer to them. Not Kao, tho. I have yet to see any shopkeeper use Kao for "I.".

Kind of a little roleplay, but not really?

ป๋า-pa Dad as in father or 💰Daddy💰 as in sugar daddy.

An overly respectful way to call someone or use a title that the receiver doesn't actually own is also something I see and think is pretty cute.

Legal prefix

เด็กหญิง-dek ying

abbreviation - ด.ญ.

For those who were assigned female at birth under the age of 15

Translate to - none

เด็กชาย-dek chai

abbreviation - ด.ช.

For those who were assigned male at birth under the age of 15

Translate to - none

นาย-nai

abbreviation - none

For those who were assigned male at birth, from age 15 onward

Translate to - Mr.

นาง-nang

abbreviation - none

For those who were assigned female at birth and marriage (optional since 2008),

Translate to - Mrs.

นางสาว-nang sao

abbreviation - น.ส.

For those who were assigned female at birth, from age 15 onward

Translate to - Ms.

Some words/phrase that relevent to love life.

เพื่อนคู่คิด มิตรคู่ใจ-phuea khukhit mit khuchai This is a phrase that describes a marriage partner as a friend ( phuea = friend) who will help you think ( khit), a trusting ally (mit ), and your best friend who you can rely on. I find it to be very romantic.

คู่ชีวิต-khu chivit life partner

คนรู้ใจ-khon ru jai person who knows your heart

ศีลเสมอ-syn samoe (like the name of a character from Cutie Pie)

ศีล Syn = precept

เสมอ samoe = same,equal

"Syn samoe" is a figure of speech that is probably roughly equivalent to "birds of a feather flock together." It is a concept that in order for one to be able to associate with others with ease of mind, one needs to hold the same moral code and values. If a person only holds on to one of the precepts, not killing, they wouldn't be suited to be with someone who also does not steal, not only as a lover but also as a close friend or someone close in general. And also the reversal, which is that if you can be close with someone, then you must be on the same level as that person, good or bad.

คนคุย - khon kui Person (you) talking to If A is Khon Kui of B, then they are getting to know each other with romantic intentions, but nothing is serious yet.

กิ่งทองใบหยก - king thong bai yok - jade leaf gold branch A very suitable match, used for those who are about to get married.

ผีเน่าโลงผุ - phi nao long phu - rotten ghost, decayed coffin When a couple is a very suitable match, but it's because they both are bad

ทองแผ่นเดียวกัน - thong phaen diao kan - the same gold sheet To become one piece of gold is to be connected by marriage. Ex: These two families are going to become the same piece of gold soon = someone from each of their families is going to marry the other.

ข้าวใหม่ปลามัน - fresh rice, creamy(?) fish A word to call a newlywed couple. Anything new is good, so in a period of newlywed bliss, everything will be good in your eyes.

ถ่านไฟเก่า-old coal Old flame, ex-lover who still might get back together

โซ่ทอง-gold chain A child is parents' gold chain that will link parents' hearts together forever. Basiclly, it is a concept that by having a child, the couple will be more committed to each other. Kind of scary if you ask me.

จีบ-jeeb _woo, flirt, spark, spoon, court, bind around_ I saw this translate to flirting most of the time, but while flirting is not serious, จีบ can be.

หยอด-yort is to put or pour it little by little in a narrow place; in some contexts, it means to drop in sweet words when you talk to someone, aka flirt.

อ้อน-oon is to plead, to implore, to cajole, to wheedle, to whimper.

กัดก้อนเกลือ-kat kon kluea-to bite on a cube of salt Is to be poor. usually mean when your financial situation is likely to be better than it is if not for your choice of partner.

ป๋า pa - เสี่ย sia - เด็ก dek pa/ dek sia When these words are used together, pa or sia is an (usually) older, wealthy (this one is a must) man, and dek, which translate directly to child or young, is a (usually) younger person who got financial benefit from being in this relationship. Pa or Sia is a sugar daddy, and Dek is a sugar baby, basically.

คบ-kob Is mostly used to mean dating, but it can also mean "associate" or "friend with", and it has been used for a variety of ambiguous speaking scene in drama and novels.

ชง-chong-brew It's kind of like creating an opportunity for someone else to say a pick-up line. Say things in order to push your friend toward the one you think your friend will like (whether the assumption is correct or not). Say a pick-up line or flirt with someone for the other person. GMM actors do it to other shipping pairs all the time. I find it quite funny, lol.

เพื่อน=friend But it can also mean accompany if you say it in some way. You could say that you want someone to go somewhere with you as เพื่อน and that would mean that you want them to accompany you, not that they are your friend exclusively. You can say it to anyone. friend, family member, lover, co-worker, etc.

Here Ayan say that he thanks Akk for นอนเป็นแฟน instead of นอนเป็นเพื่อน.

youtube

นอน=sleep

เป็น=as ,are, be, become, have, constitute, be able to

แฟน=lover

เพื่อน=friend

นอนเป็นเพื่อน=to go to bed with someone and keep them company

เพื่อน can also mean co-worker, school mate,

slice-of-thai.com, thai-tones.com, [Learn Thai] Five Tones in Thai (Pronunciation Practice) <--Some of the links for the Thai 5-tone explanation.

I think it would help in the next part (and with the Thai language in general) if you could remember what tone is what.

The mid one, number 1, had no mark, and the other is as you can see in that orange band.

อา, อ่า, อ้า, อ๊า, and อ๋า is probably going to be the same when spelled in English (unless we make something up, like, อา=ah, อ่า=aah) but in Thai, you can see that the mark on top of them is different.

There are also a bunch of things that are relevant, like the way each type of Thai alphabet has its own base(?) tone in itself, making tone marking affect them differently. Ex: low consonant + dead syllable + short sound = rising tone (5) Even though it is written with no mark tone and so looks like it should probably be a mid tone (1), but we are not here for an actual Thai lesson, so you just need to remember that different tone is a thing and different tone = different mening.

Sounds that we use to indicate the tone of the sentence

****This topic isn't really an official and well-organized thing, plus my knowledge and ability to explain are quite limited, so maybe don't see it as a fact but something subjective?

If I put a check mark in the example column, it means it makes sense to put the sound in that row in the blank. Well, at least to me, it makes sense.

A sentence that has some polite words in it doesn't mean that it is in fact polite or that the speaker is being polite and proper. So while Khrap and Ka are polite, people still can and have used them to end a sentence that is so impolite you will get customers yelling for your manager to fire you for saying it.

Some of those sounds can also be paired with other too. For example, Na(4) and Si(2) can be paired with Ka(4) and Khrap(4), as well as a few others, and include each other.

ooooo a HC of you and Matt reconnecting and realizing feelings for each other as you return to Chicago just after Hallie death

Okay so you don't return to Chicago right after Hallie's death, you return about six months after

You and Matt had been friends since you were teenagers, your neighbours were foster parents and Matt had gone to them when he was 16, a year after his mother killed his father

You'd become fast friends, bonding over hockey

Your mom was a carpenter and dad was a contractor, they took him in and taught him about the trades

Matt applied to the fire academy the second he was able, but you ended up going to Harvard, full scholarship, you ended up going to law school at Yale on scholarship too

You initially worked in Boston, but you missed Chicago and something was calling you back

You were devastated to hear about Hallie

So you moved back to Chicago and took the Illinois bar and passed

The first place you drove to once you got to Chicago was firehouse 51 to give Matt the biggest hug

Severide starts flirting with you the s e c o n d he sees you

Matt's chuckling while he tells him to cut it out, but everyone can hear the contained rage in his voice

Matt is so happy when you tell him you're home, for good, set up at a family law firm

Your return is celebrated at Molly's

You and Matt start hanging out all the time, and you have a standing brunch date

You are now a regular fixture at Molly's and a semi-regular fixture at the firehouse

You've taken up baking and cooking again now that you're not drowning in law school coursework, so you're always dropping by with something you made after you saw it on Pinterest

Everyone welcomes you and appreciates your food... Except Gabby, but that's just because she's jealous of the relationship you have with Matt

Speaking of jealousy, Matt knows that Gabby has a thing for him and has been giving you something akin to a death stare lately, and has confided in you that he doesn't feel that way about Gabby and isn't comfortable with her flirting with him

Especially because she was doing it while Hallie was alive and now he feels like she's a vulture eating off the carcass of a dead relationship

You just do your best to be polite and avoid her

Time flies by and suddenly it's been a year since her death

You go with Matt to her grave, you put down a bouquet of flowers, but then he asks to be alone with her for a moment so you walk away to go sit on a bench

You watch from a distance as more people approach the grave, Hallie's family, but they hang back for a moment, let Matt finish

When Matt goes back to your side after speaking with her family for a few minutes, he looks a little lighter

'How do you feel?' 'Not great, but better than this morning. Talking to her family helped. They invited us to get lunch with them at Hallie's favourite Thai place, do you want to come?' 'Definitely'

Hallie's family is lovely and it was nice to see them all again, considering the last time you saw them was at their engagement party

After that day Matt seems... Off

And he won't tell you what's wrong

So you wait three weeks before abducting Severide from Molly's and interrogating him

Three weeks is about how long it takes for the two of them to have one of their no-feelings-involved-bro-talks

'Hallie's family thought you were his girlfriend... And he wasn't exactly opposed to the idea'

That makes sense

You plan to talk about it with him at your next brunch

But the day before, you're driving home from work when everything goes black

You wake up in a hospital bed, with heavy aching all over your body, and weight on your hand

You can hear someone talking over the beeping the machines are making and it takes a moment for you to realize it's Matt and that's he's got your hand wrapped in both of his

'-Please wake up, I will do anything, just please, please, wake up. I'm not ready to live without you. I- I love you.'

Your mind is still foggy, from whatever happened, from hearing Matt's words, so all you can do is squeeze his hands

You'd been in a car accident, overall only minor injuries, but you did hit your head causing you to go unconscious

You'd left the hospital with only some minor bruising and a minor concussion

Matt hovered over you all while you were in the hospital, and when you'd been released

The night after your last check-up and you'd been cleared, you had Matt over for dinner'

He was talking about firehouse drama and all you could do was look at him, when he finally noticed he asked 'what?'

'When I was in the hospital, I heard your little speech. I heard you say that you love me.'

'Y/N... Yo- You don't have to return-'

'I love you too'

gotcha muchacha

twice 10th member au

jade’s brother asks for her help

masterlist 👽 requests are open feedback is awalys important to me!

"Why are eating dinner here and not in your fancy apartment?" Jade heard Sungho's voice and smiled.

"The last time you visited me, mom called me crying thinking I was dead." she answered him, giving the boy a light hug and sitting back. "And, I still don't know how to cook Thai food."

Sungho laughed out loud and nodded.

"Come on," he puffed. "it was a good prank."

Jade tilted her head and shrugged her shoulders, grabbing the menu and flipping through the meals.

She loved her brother unconditionally, for real, but his extrovert and spontaneous way of taking life was always a big problem for their relationship.

After each of them making their orders - Sungho choosing the most expensive dish they had on the menu and Jade almost killing him with her eyes -, she took a deep breath and leaned back on the chair.

"So," he popped his lips together. "how's life going? Working a lot?"

"Saying that I'm working 'a lot' is a joke. I don't even know how it feels to have a nice night of sleep." she giggled. "And you?"

And that was all Sungho needed to hear to start talking nonstop.

"Do you remember that guy I was dating?" Jade nodded. "We broke up."

"Why?" she asked, shocked.

She met his boyfriend once and, for as long as she can remember, he was a cool guy.

"Nha," he shrugged. "he was too clingy, you know? We couldn't go to the club without him having a crazy jealousy attack. Summing up, he was boring."

Jade giggled and nodded. "I see."

"But yeah, I broke up with him and the place where we were living was his. Now I don't have a house anymore." he forced a smile at Jade, blinking. "I need your help, little sister."

"What do you want me to do?" she asked, nervously giggling. "Go back to Incheon."

"No! Never!" he exclaimed. "Go back there and listening dad saying all those things about how he warned be, how I should've waited..." he imitated their father's voice and Jade had to hold her laugh. "No, thank you."

"I mean... I went back there and they didn't say any of this." she arched her left eyebrow.

"Of course, because when you left home you came back as a multimillionaire idol." he debated, rolling his eyes.

Jade laughed out loud with his more than honest answer, shaking her head.

"You're laughing because it's true..." he pouted, making her laugh even more.

"Hey, stop it." she pointed at him, still laughing. "You're an amazing choreographer!"

"Exactly, choreographer. Not an A-list idol." Sungho said with a sad tone.

Forcing a sad pout, Jade crossed her arms.

She knew this whole thing had a purpose. He wouldn't call her on a Thursday morning, inviting her to eat dinner with him in one of the most expensive restaurants she knew, for nothing.

Her house was big enough for all her family live there, but Sungho was someone who couldn't keep his mouth shut.

When she was dating Jeonghan, the only reason her parents knew, was because Sungho saw them together and told her mom. When she got her first tattoo, the fans only knew about it because he accidentally posted an Instagram story with her arm showing.

Even unintentionally, he was the biggest gossipy she would ever know.

"I need your help for real this time, Jade." he honestly said. "Only for a few months. I can pay for half of the rent, half of the expenses..."

"The apartment is mine." she corrected him.

"See? You can rent me a room and you'll get extra money."

"Sungho, I'm not asking you to pay for anything. But what I need you to understand is that that place is the only quiet place I have to rest, to have my privacy." Jade told him. "You can move to my apartment, of course, you can. But I need you to promise me that everything you see inside that place, remains there."

He held his pinky finger up, and she did the same. Before liking them together, she stopped.

"Do you promise me you do not even tell your friends you're living with me, at least before I warn my managers? And that, once again, everything that happens inside that place, remains there." Jade asked him once again.

Sungho clapped and nodded.

"Gotcha, muchacha!" he answered her, linking their fingers together.

Brain is tv static with random frames interspersed

Think I'm like. Really stressed and jumping between topics to try and find something that helps / feels good

Topics:

Anyone know a good health tracking app for adhd people? I want one that like pops up when you open your phone, maybe? But is unobtrusive. Like maybe you just rate your mood or whatever when you open your phone, and it closes, and you go about your business. I just hate every app and paper method I've tried but really want to track some stuff

Pigeon. ? Pigeon as pet?

Service animals re: cats, pigeons, my cat specifically, and then also ESAs and also what to use as treats while training my cat (he's pretty happy to learn behaviors with praise and pets as reinforcement, but treats would make everything move much faster, but I haven't found something I want to give him so we've just been y'know. Chillin)

Service animals re: what tasks can my pet potentially do that would help me? I don't really know a lot about service animals and there is a Huge range. If anyone has suggestions, or places to read about it, I'd appreciate it! Mostly thinking they may help with anxiety, sensory, and mobility/fatigue related stuff. Not much of a need for medical alerts.

Bioactive enclosures for my snakes, need to research their biomes and make progress on designs and equipment specifications

Also. Hit a seriously hard patch and haven't been handling them much at all this month so that's not great

Casting stuff. Saw jewelry today made of metal casts of claws, skulls, etc, and they were really well done and made me want to do that

Some taxidermy / vulture culture stuff I won't get into right now

Puzzles????

How to organize my room

Need a shower

Need to organize bathroom

So Much Schoolwork

Uhhhhh trying, but not making much headway, to figure out how I want to do my music collection. Also really need to clean my records..

Make?

Food??? Ew.

Dental hygiene ://

Plampts. So many. Houseplants need maintenance, many need repotting. Keep taking in people's problem plants and like, they're doing better, largely, after being trimmed and watered and whatnot, but need repotting. Also need to trim some aquarium plants.

Also need to put water in tanks. And spray nepenthes.

Laundry.

Gotta pick up trash in my room. There's so much. Everywhere. Why.

Schoolwork. I'm so behind. So, so stuck. Kind of feel like I'm dying.

Going on a picnic tomorrow. Have to figure out what still needs doing for that, probably need to go to the store.

Leo needs water. I'm so....ugh, I'm trying so hard, but it feels impossible. I do my best to take good care of my pets, and I think they live pretty good lives most of the time, but sometimes I get like This and completely drop off the face of the earth and then like, wake up or whatever and two weeks have passed by and I have not cleaned a water bowl! That's a serious problem!!!! I do not know how to combat that, really, besides more reminders. Having someone around who is willing to like, help, when things are especially hard, would be great, but I don't live with my partner right now and do not feel like I can ask anyone here for that. But I can't put my animals at risk. I check on them every day, and if their bowls are dirty I do take them out and clean them, but sometimes (like now) i cannot get myself to do it without a pressure like a dirty bowl, or a feeding day. And like, it's really important that they have clean water. I'm talking to myself here but like, if anyone has advice. Please. With the tank redesigns and upgrades, the bowls will be more accessible, which will help because one of them is very heavy at the angle I have to pick it up, and another requires moving a lot of branches and is best to take out while the snake is out (this is Leo) which is fine because I love my boy, but adds time to the process, and makes it harder to start, you know? Maybe if I just got more bowls - I could take the bowl out and immediately replace it, fill the new one, and replace the decor and snake, and then clean the bowl as a separate task? That would be easier for my brain. Currently I have a Specific bowl I prefer to use for each tank, and then everything else is Just In Case, but I mean. Acquiring extras is something I want to do anyway, and it may help with several problems, so. Yeah. I'll try that. But also, any other ideas, guys?

Anxiety: can't stop picking at my face, skin, nails, cuticles, scalp, pretty much everywhere with callouses, also scratched a mole off my face, which is something I've been trying Not to do for a while, so that's...not great. Can't find my earmuffs, and also all of my headphones are painful? Ears are really sensitive lately.

Been playing a lot of Moth Game (flutter: starlight if you wanna be friends say hey I don't know how to do it but would enjoy talking about moths if nothing else. The game is just like, an idle ish collecting game with cutesy versions of different species, and very little actual information, but it's still fun, and if anyone else is on there and also Into Moths like I am, hiiiii) and like it's fun and cute but also greatly impacting my productivity, and raises my stress levels during events, which is most days, so the game has. Not been helping. But I can't stop because then I'll miss Exclusive Moths.

Anyway. Had baklava and two mugs of Thai tea today and the sugar has made me nauseous.

Trying to journal. Hurts to write. Also takes too long. Also my handwriting is very bad. But typing is..not as good

Want to draw. Thinking about drawing cats

Plants again! Want to make seed bombs, have seeds, have most of the other ingredients, just need to put em together, basically.

Really sad :(

Or am I?

Weird noise coming from dining room?

Birds. Spent half an hour at least on the deck tonight listening to a hundred different bird calls (literally) to identify one I was hearing, it was a pine siskin, which I checked early on but the recording was bad and I didn't realize which call was identified. Anyway, cool to put a name to a face, so to speak.

Need to practice for ASL

So much.....to do...

Only had like >3 hours of work this week which was not great because money, but also like I'm really feeling those 3 hours....

My cat is basically refusing to come into my room? Which is very strange and I'm worried something is Off but cannot figure out what. Also means less cuddles which means I'm sad.

It feels strange whenever people follow me, the attention is nice but I have no idea what content y'all are here for. So to everyone: hi, enjoy, hope my random personal posts aren't a surprise to anyone who followed for like. News reblogs and informational stuff.

Do I even have it in me to..be successful in school? Should I drop out of college? I'm struggling really hard and do not feel like I'm building on the skills I need to continue, so like. Uh.

My dad is being. Abrasive.

Mom and grandma are very angry lately

Housemate is also angry, about things i thought we were on good terms about, so I am stressed because like,, are we okay?

Can't find my eye mask :(

Yoga? Like...restorative yoga? Need to track down my PT stuff. And. Do it.

Need to put the stickers on my license plates....oops...

Still haven't found my antidepressants! Yay!

Do I want to store my stuff in open bins, or with lids? Which stuff needs spill protection and stacking capability and which stuff needs easy access?

How to earn money without..chaos

Gotta go to the pet store tomorrow. Have to compile my list of pet store items i need. Uhhhhhhhhhh

Also I have an essay due tomorrow that I've barely started. So. Wooooooo

Kt tape for supporting arches / inner ankles? I keep messing up my ankles, and part of it is walking wrong because I don't have the energy to engage the muscles in my feet/legs right to like, avoid injury, and part of it is I just need new shoes inserts. But i wear slippers a lot and they do not have arch support and it hurts. PT to help with this also but Where Is It

Family can't seem to get dish soap I can use, so I've just been having to avoid washing anything by hand, or being in the general kitchen area while anyone uses the stuff, which has led to more of my dishes sitting out, and more conflict over dishes. Lovely.

How hard is it for parents to learn they have to respect boundaries? Very hard, apparently. And you're supposed to just sort of remind people, and explain, over and over and over but like at this point my self worth is actually pretty good and the lifetime of proof that they do not want to listen? That's making me want to stop trying. Like, if you're not going to respect my boundaries I'm just not going to involve you in my life. I'm not talking to my dad right now because of this. Maybe I'll decide to lay things out to him, again and again and again again, maybe not. And I'm comfortable saying that's on him.

How to drink water

Am I dehydrated or are my hands just completely callous now. My fingertips have such hard skin. Why? It's uncomfortable. This is part of why I've been biting them.

Also testosterone. Been having a lot of trouble doing my shots, because anxiety and physical freakouts, but also not feeling super urgent about it. Which I'm realizing may be a sign i need to look at the effects so far and the possible effects of continuing, and see what they make me feel. It's possible I'm where I want to be as far as T, and don't really want to stay on it. A big thing for me is a deeper voice, so it seems time to take a look at whether I like my voice where it is or want to see if it'll drop any more. Etc etc

Miss my lil sisters

Saw a lot of cool rocks today. Huge (like hand sized) ammonite for $28. May go back and buy one because. Wow.

Want to plant food plants

Also my natives. Whole garden plot standing empty with a bunch of stuff waiting in nursery pots, needing to go in the ground. Because I can't get out of bed. Love that. Stuff is dying out there, I'm dying in here, there's a poetry to it and I do not want to romanticize suffering so I will say this: I brought a Bucket full of moss home a month ago and planted it and now go outside sometimes to drench my moss and it is very rewarding because the stuff is just so green. Incredible. When the rest of my plants are finally in the ground, that feeling will only intensify. But, for now, the moss is very nice.

Made a glow in the dark bead lizard from memory during therapy yesterday, and I love him. Also, still struggling with bringing up autism and psychosis topics with my therapist. Still very worried about. Things. Would like to get a new person? But sometimes she is helpful? And we have a routine. It's very hard to break the routine. Maybe I can set some time aside during the summer, to figure out what to do there.

Term ends in a couple weeks. The task of catching up, of passing, seems impossible. I really need to pass my courses. I'm on academic warning, because my GPA is lower than it should be, and if I can pass all of my classes this term I can get off academic warning but otherwise I'm not sure what will happen to my financial aid.

My phone is playing the same 50-100 songs on shuffle and I don't even particularly like most of them and it is very strange

Got my face wipes! Hooray, i can wash my face again

Been eating too much sugar in general. It's making my joints hurt more, and the nausea

Pet a dog the other day. I miss that. It would be really nice to have a dog in the house again. The exuberance, the cuddles, the tail wagging, the walks... I'd really like that. Maybe once I'm out in my room, tanks and catio built and everyone is situated, I'll look into getting a dog instead of a cat next. Was planning on holding off in case I'm not physically able to take them out on walks and such, but I've been pretty successful at doing this job, and I think that my main hurdle for walking really is motivation. Dog walking is a strong motivator for me. Best to start by fostering, or just do Wag, for a while though. I'm feeling overwhelmed with my current responsibilities, and here I am talking about getting a dog. Good job, me

How do you get wax off of somewhat water soluble rocks? My housemate broke my lava lamp on some of my rock collection and I am not sure how to get some of them clean without damage.

I am...pretty sure there are collared doves nesting over my room but it seems they're less common around here than I thought? But they are..pretty distinctive. Like if I'm wrong, what are those birds. Some very distinctly colored feral pigeons? Who are nesting here, in a tree, without their flock, and who happen to have pretty much the exact same pattern?

Probably should go to the dollar store and get some bins for organizing

Been wanting to keep a bin by the door and stock it with stim/fidget stuff people can just .have ..like extras of some of my favorites and other things i can get ahold of, to offer to my friends who haven't really had the chance to explore the world of stim toys

Hands are really just not doing great the last several weeks. Arthritis type pain cropping up more and more in all the little joints, making it hurt more to write, type, or just use them for whatever. Coordination isn't great because of that distraction, and because my hands/arms are slow to respond and kinda weak. Most people would say I'm not using them enough but I've been doing 15ish hours of manual labor per week, so maybe it's the other direction? More water would help. If only it wasn't so heavy.

I haven't taken a single shower since I started my job. Which was March 29th. That's not great.

Practiced parallel parking today. 10/10 still very bad at it.

Having anxiety that my friends think I'm lying about things, faking, and are watching me to see if I'll slip up. So that sucks. Can either talk about that directly or indirectly, or just shut up about those things until I can get my brain under control again. I'm not sure right now if the reassurance would work as a reality check or make me believe it more, right now, so might hold off on the talking bit for a little while.

Saw, smelled, picked a couple pretty roses. Good times

At this point I'm just trying to list all my thoughts so that maybe I'll be able to sleep and not worry I'll forget

My mom has put her spider plant on the deck, and it has maybe five living leaves. I have no idea how she killed such a well established spider plant, the last time I saw it it was so happy. Did she stick it in a corner and forget to water it? Whatever happened, it is now in the Plant ER, so hopefully I'll be able to...help get it on the up and up again

Leo is such a pretty noodle. He's so pretty. He's posing. Hi, baby boy.

Oh, he saw me moving around and decided to come say hi. Sorry little man, i did not mean to disturb you. Please resume lounging. I can't bring you out right now, I'm trying to sleep.

Also, terrariums. Water features. Need to ask. Someone. The one who was making that super cool garter snake enclosure and blogging the progress? With the lazy river and pool? About maintenance on that kind of setup. My milk snake really enjoys water, and I'd love to put a water feature in his tank. But I'm unclear on how to keep it clean, or honestly where to start. Don't want any huge falls or anything, though it actually may not make the humidity too high if I did maybe a small drip wall into the pool? That seems like something he would enjoy, and a good way to support different types of plants. But like, that's the thing, it's bioactive and I haven't done that before and no amount of research is ever enough.

Oh, Shogun has a dirt hat. How cute. I love when they do that

See, this is the thing. My snakes make me so happy. All three of them are actually hanging out where I can see them from my bed right now, and it's really nice. I want their lives to be the best possible, and I think I have the resources to do that. Which is so exciting. Now if only my brain and body would cooperate. It would hurt quite a lot to have to re-home any of them, but the most important thing is their health and quality of life, you know? If I can't get my act together somewhat, it may be that one or all of them would be better off with another keeper. I don't know. It's just, i talk about all these tank ideas and all this husbandry standards stuff but how much of it actually gets applied to my own animals whose lives are in my hands? How well am I caring for them, really?

Oh!!! My red thread! I thought that was gone forever.

Anyway, please do not worry. My snakes are healthy. I pay attention, and watch for signs of illness, and they're okay. There will always be places to improve, and the water is a big one, but most of the time i change their water out frequently, I'm just worried because of bad depression and fatigue times, you know? I'm working on making the most self sustaining systems i can, in part so that I am sure they'll be okay if I mess up sometimes. Just saying this because I hope you guys don't feel like you need to worry about the welfare of my pets. They're okay, i just always want better for them, is all.

Anyway, the sun is coming up and I should probably go to sleep. So uh, thanks for reading, if you read all of this randomness, and if anyone has thoughts or advice on anything in this post, i would welcome it! Good night!

Replay ch. 1

Did I start yet ANOTHER AU? Yes, I did. Callum, Ezran, Soren, and Claudia run a popular YouTube channel while Rayla is a lawyer that Callum asks to model for him. Plans for the fic to be rated E down the line.

--------------------------------------------

Callum smiled as he sat in front of the camera, Ezran, Soren and Claudia to his side. “Hello, everyone and welcome to the first video of our new channel. My name is Callum Evans.”

“I’m Ezran Williams.”

“Soren Ricci,” Soren winked at the camera.

“And I’m Claudia Ricci.”

Callum nodded. “And we are going to be trying spicy snacks.” Soren and Claudia immediately paled. “We saw the video the Try Guys did and me and Ezran said ‘there’s no way half of that is that hot.’”

“Nope,” Ezran shook his head.

“And I know what you’re thinking, ‘what do you four know about spice?’ Well, first, Ezran and I are actually half-siblings. Our mom and aunt are half-Thai and half-Korean, and if you know anything about Thai or Korean food, it’s really spicy. My dad was mostly German and Irish, but he spent a lot of summers in India and the Sichuan area of China due to his parents’ work as translators. So, there’s that spicy food again.”

“And my dad is half-Jamaican and half-African-American. If you’ve never had Jamaican food, it uses a lot of herbs and spices to make everything on the flavor profile. My grandmother, in connecting to her roots, started getting really into traditional African cuisine which tends to involve a lot of chili and warming spices. Also, our aunt is married to a lovely woman from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, so we’ve had lot of Congolese cooking as well. The ultimate comfort food in our house is probably a West African spicy peanut soup.”

“If you’ve never had it, go make some right now,” Callum nodded.

Soren gulped. “Claudia and I are terrible with spicy food. I am also mildly lactose intolerant so I really hope there is no cheese here.”

“Hate it,” Claudia said. “I like a good cake or ice cream.”

“Clauds is super into dessert.”

Ezran smiled. “As am I. My favorite flavor profile is sweet. I got our mom’s sweet tooth. While Callum’s got a thing for spice.”

Callum nodded. “My step-dad, Ezran’s dad, not only grew-up on Jamaican and traditional African dishes, he also grew-up with Brazilian neighbors who would bring traditional Brazilian barbeque, called churrasco, to all the neighborhood cook-outs. Well, let’s stop talking about it. Let’s get down to this. We have all ten items the Try Guys used-”

Claudia gasped. “Please tell me you didn’t get those rock candies!?”

“Of course, I did!” Callum set all the items on the table in the box he had put them before pulling out the candies.

Soren groaned. “NOOO. We’re gonna die.”

Ezran sniffed. “No, it’s a psychological thing where your brain is saying it’s on fire.”

“That doesn’t make it better.”

Callum smiled. “Let’s do this! First,” Callum took out the Cheetos, “Flaming Hot Cheetos. The Try Guys didn’t use the chili lime ones, which I find a shame, because there’s more flavor in those even though they aren’t quite as spicy.”

“I agree,” Ezran said as he opened the bag. “Chili lime is a classic flavor combination. Put it on mango and I am pretty happy.” The bag was passed and they all tried one. “Not spicy at all.”

Callum ate another. “Nope. They’re good, but there’s no real heat there.”

Soren groaned. “This is perfect for me. It’s got a bit of heat, but it’s not overwhelming.”

Claudia nodded. “I agree. I don’t want to go hotter.”

Callum shook his head. “For those of you who are wondering, Soren and Claudia are siblings and childhood friends of me and Ezran. Their dad and our dad are best friends. But, when they come over for dinner, our family has to seriously downgrade the spice level or else these two freak out.”

“And,” Ezran interrupted, “when we go to their place, we have to bring our own hot sauce. Well, that’s mostly Callum. He carries hot sauce in his bag.”

“That’s because mango chutney doesn’t travel well.”

“See, mango chutney is almost going into too hot territory for me. At least, the brand Callum buys is.”

“That’s because I buy authentic and get it shipped directly from a company that makes traditional chutneys here in the States. Next snack; Takis Fuego.” Callum held up the bag. “This time, we got the chili lime!”

“Chili lime!” Ezran pumped both his arms up.

Callum opened the bag and took one, passing it to Ezran before moving it on to Soren and Claudia. “What I taste most is that lime flavor, which is fine with me. I want it hotter, but I love lime, so I’m not complaining.”

“It’s not bad,” Claudia affirmed. “I actually do like this. Like you said, that lime is what’s really hitting, but the spicy is there.”

Ezran hummed. “Can I have the rest of the bag when we’re done?”

“Sure.”

Soren blinked a bit. “I think it’s spicier than you guys are giving it credit, but it’s pretty good. I would take that lime flavor over the chili.”

“It adds to it Soren.”

“Chili is pain!”

“Life is pain!” Callum retorted.

Claudia rolled her eyes. “Not another ‘Princess Bride’ reference. You watched it once and you wouldn’t stop quoting it.”

“Inconceivable.”

Ezran raised a brow. “‘You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.’” Callum laughed, high-fiving Ezran as Soren and Claudia watched on.

“Nerds,” Claudia and Soren sang out.

“Proud of it,” came Ezran and Callum’s reply.

“OK,” Ezran said. “What’s next?”

Callum looked at his notes. “Pulparindo! Tamarind candy.” Callum handed each of them their own packet. “It’s kind of like a fruit leather.”

They went through all the snacks, Soren and Claudia progressively begging for milk as they went. “MILK!” Soren gasped on the Carolina Reaper jerky.

“You’re lactose intolerant, Soren,” Claudia coughed.

“MILDLY.”

“You guys got soy milk?”

Callum nodded. “I keep some in the fridge in case Aunt Amaya comes over.” Soren ran for the fridge in Callum’s house. They weren’t planning on saying anything if the channel continued, but they were currently in Callum’s father’s childhood home. His grandparents rented it out to him for school because they had moved into a retirement community. He had completely renovated it and now had this room designed just for these videos. “You OK, Soren? We’ve got one last item, the Sonoran Spice Company’s Carolina Reaper Pebbles.”

“NOOOOO!” came Soren’s scream from the kitchen.

Ezran started laughing, taking a handful of the leftover Takis. “Come on, Soren! You’ve come this far.”

Claudia looked close to sobbing as she looked at the snacks on the table. “It’s so hot. I can’t taste my own tongue.”

“You can’t taste your tongue, Clauds.”

“SHUT UP.”

Ezran laughed at the two as Callum snuck a few Takis for himself. “For those of you at home, there is no denying that that jerky is hot. Callum and I just crave the heat while Soren and Claudia do not.”

Soren finally came back, sighing as he looked at the camera. “I’m gonna die.”

Callum opened the candy, pouring a few into his hands and passing it over to the others. Ezran took more while Soren and Claudia each only took two. “That’s all you want?” Callum asked.

“YES,” came the combined response from Soren and Claudia. The four put it in their mouths together. Immediately, Soren and Claudia freaked out, reaching for the white bread Callum had brought them earlier. Callum and Ezran coughed a bit, but, for the most part, they had built up a tolerance that didn’t make it as painful as if they had gone right to the candy.

Ezran nodded. “It’s hot. No denying it. But, I think the jerky was hotter.”

Callum nodded as well. “No doubt, jerky was a bit hotter. But I picked the candy last because of how the Try Guys reacted to it. I was wondering if maybe it was the hottest thing.”

“It’s too hot,” Claudia said around a mouthful of bread. “It’s like torture.” Soren whimpered in response, gulping more of his soy milk.

“Well, I guess that’s all the time we got. Please subscribe to our channel as we continue to, most likely, eat food or, maybe just do whatever we want. ‘Til next time.”

Soren turned to Callum. “Why do you get to do the sign-off?”

“Because this was my idea.”

“You almost killed me!”

--------------------------------

Rayla snorted as she walked into the cheese shop with her coworkers. Maybe it was Runaan’s influence, but she was a bit of a cheese snob. Scottish food was mostly friend, but Runaan had grown up in England and spent a few years in France, leading to strong feelings about what made a good cheese, but she had not been impressed with any of the cheeses her coworkers considered ‘good.’ “I’m telling you, you have to go to an actual cheesemonger. The grocery is not good enough. At least go to a delicatessen.”

“Rayla, we’re lawyers. We don’t have time to go to a cheesemonger and have them select a variety of cheeses for us.”

“We do blue sky, fraud. We have time.” Rayla walked in, making sure her suit was still well-pressed. She didn’t like a wrinkled suit when she paid good money to get it dry-cleaned. When they looked around, they saw a group of four at a table, several cameras around them and a few people also there. Her cheesemonger, Marcos, was talking to them. She saw a jar of one of her favorites, Meredith Dairy Marinated Goat, on the table. “The kind they have on the table? It’s really good. Spreads amazingly on bread.”

One of the guys at the table, a young man with green eyes looked over and did a double-take. She made eye contact, slightly startled by just how green his eyes were. The rest of the table looked over at the group, a few jaws hanging open. Marcos smiled over at her, walking over. “Rayla! Sorry, we’re filming a video right now. Did you want to get your usual?”

“That’ll work. I was hoping to convert my coworkers to actual decent cheese because if I went to one more office party where someone brought an unaged cheddar and no other options, I was going to lose my mind.”

“Got it. Let me go get that cheese for you.”

Rayla’s coworker raised a brow. “Now what?”

“We go back to the office and try it. Because once it gets home, it’s not leaving my apartment unless it’s part of my lunch.” Rayla walked around the shop, ignoring the video going on until she heard some hissing. She turned her head, making eye contact with the boy from before again. He gulped, walking forward. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw one of her coworkers, Kasef, glare at him. “Back off, Kasef,” she muttered to herself.

“Hey,” the guy stuttered a bit as he made it to her.

“Hello,” she answered. His eyes went wider, probably at her distinctly Scottish accent. “Yes, my accent is real. I grew up in Aberdeen, Scotland. Can I help you?”

The boy flushed. “Yes, actually. My name is Callum Evans. I’m an artist and I would love to paint you.”

Rayla tilted her head. It was a unique come-on. “What’s that video your doing? Art?”

“YouTube. It’s a thing I do with my brother and my childhood friends. Being an artist isn’t the most lucrative thing if you don’t do graphic design. I do commissions and try to sell my art, but there’s always low points. YouTube helps off-set that.”

“Fair. YouTubers don’t really have a good reputation.”

“I know. We’re not involved in any of that drama or crazy stuff going on. Claudia does make-up, but, she mostly sticks within our circle of food YouTubers.”

“Mostly food?”

“Mostly food.”

Rayla nodded. “How do I know you’re an artist?”

Callum reached for his phone. “Here’s my Instagram and a couple of my sketches that I haven’t posted yet.” He handed her the phone for her to look through.

“You sure you trust me with your phone?”

“Not really, but I’m a stranger asking to draw you. Some level of give and take has to happen here.”

“I agree.” Rayla went through his art, humming as she saw the variety of subjects, though he tended to focus on people. There were a lot of pictures of the same three women. “You like drawing women?”

“That’s my mom, my aunt, and my aunt’s wife. You’ll also see pictures of my grandmothers and Claudia.” Rayla looked closely at a few of the pictures. She could see the family resemblance between him and some of the women, particularly in the jawline and cheekbones.

She paused on a picture of one of the women he looked like and another one of the three he drew often. They were smiling at each other, flushes on their cheeks. “This picture is beautiful.”

“Thanks. That was at their engagement party.”

“I’m sold.”

“Really?” Callum asked, looking like he couldn’t believe she would say yes. She couldn’t believe it either.

“I have four parents. My biological parents are bodyguards for a member of the royal family and were travelling a lot so I was raised by their best friends, Runaan and Ethari. I got a lot of teasing as a kid for having two dads. If you can draw these two as unabashedly in love as you do, I’m sold on you as a person. I’m Rayla Burrows.” She stuck out her head, giving a slight smile as a he took it. “You have a decent grip.”

“My step-dad taught me how to do a good handshake. Can I have your number so we can plan this?”

“Do you have a studio?”

“Yes…in my house.”

Rayla paused. “Would it bother you if I asked someone I know to come?”

“Not at all. Whatever makes you comfortable.” They exchanged numbers and Callum walked off, looking back at her every few moments. Marcos finally came back with her cheese, smiling. As she walked out of the shop with her coworkers, she cast one last look at the group. Callum Evans…interesting.

@velvet-impala tagged me to answer this long set of questions, and bc I love this sort of thing I’m DOING IT! I’ll tag folks here just in case you don’t want to read thru this whole dang thing. But I wanna say: if you want to do this, PLEASE DO IT and tag me so I can see-- I *love* reading responses to stuff like this. But @la-paritalienne @disgruntledkittenface @and-id-marry-larry @calmrry @crinkle-eyed-boo @lightwoodsmagic -- y’all are tagged :)

1. Do you prefer writing with a black pen or blue pen? black, but what matters most is how smoothly it writes.

2. Would you prefer to live in the country or city? walkable neighborhood in a city. 3. If you could learn a new skill what would it be? would love to learn how to hack into billionaire bank accounts without getting caught so i could redistribute their wealth to a variety of mutual aid funds. :) 4. Do you drink your tea/coffee with sugar? no, just milk! unless it’s really shitty/bitter coffee, and then i will take it with a couple sugars or sweetened creamer.

5. What was your favourite book as a child? probably the Anne of Green Gables books 6. Do you prefer baths or showers? showers! i wanna love a bath, but i get bored too fast and i never feel comfortable (where do i put my head? my feet? what do i do when my belly isn’t covered by the water and it gets cold?) so they’re meh.

7. If you could be a mythical creature, which one would it be? dryad! i wanna be a tree spirit!

8. Paper or electronic books? paper, i guess. but i do love reading fic electronically, so..

9. What is your favourite item of clothing? used to be my work hoodie. but now i would say this blue striped button down i have OR this one black dress i have with 3/4 sleeves that’s really soft and comfy.

10. Do you like your name or would you like to change it? i always meant to start going by Dottie when I got older, but it hasn’t happened yet so it probably won’t by now? but i would never change my name generally speaking.

more after the cut!

11. Who is a mentor to you? i had a co-worker who was really a mentor for me since i got into being a cheesemonger in 2008. he’s been in the industry for a long time and basically recruited me to the job i have/had here. but when i got sick he basically dropped me/hasn’t spoken to me in a long time. let me tell you: it fucking sucks. bc a mentor is a cross between a friend and a colleague and a relative; we jokingly called him my lesbian uncle. and so losing him from my life so completely over something like this is deeply shitty.

12. Would you like to be famous and if so, what for? not now, but before i was sick i would’ve said yes. BUT only bc i think i would be a great Saturday Night Live host (not a cast member! just a one time host with a monologue/skits). So whatever level of fame i needed to get that..

19. What is the strangest thing you have eaten? i have no idea? i’ve eaten a lot of weirdish cheeses. i’ve had geoduck?

20. What are you most thankful for? the amazing friends i’ve gathered into my life along the way, my dad, and my baby dog.

21. Do you like spicy food? yes, within reason (i don’t get stuff that’s spicy just for the heck of it, like ghost pepper chips or whatever? but when spice is integrated in with other flavors i love it)

22. Have you ever met someone famous? i used to make up stories about meeting famous people that were based on partial truths. i’ve hung out with or met a lot of gay famous people. but the biggest person who comes to mind is Sandra Bernhard. I sold her cheese. 23.

30. Do you like ice in your drinks? yes, but not too much

31. What are you afraid of? sometimes being along but only when it’s very dark out and i’m in the sads. honestly-- this is some deep internalized ableism but here it is --i’m very afraid of never getting better and not being able to take care of myself or anyone else.

32. What is your favourite scent? jasmine flowers, pu-er tea, the specific scents of people i love

33. Do you address older people by their name or surname? however they’re introduced i guess. maybe because i’m an older person lol

34.

42. What is the one thing you want to overcome/conquer? my stupid money issues prolly

43. Of you could travel back to any era, what would it be? wanna go back to 1977 and live in the girl direction AU i wrote last year, lol.

44. What is your most used emoji? laugh crying emoji or sobbing maybe

45. Describe yourself using one word. colorful

46. What do you regret the most? not sure if this is a thing but i regret not realizing when i got bitten by a tick/got lyme disease the first time, bc maybe i could’ve just taken antibiotics and killed it, and then maybe i wouldn’t be sick?

47. Last movie you saw? watched the new charlie’s angels the other night

48. Last tv show you watched? this dumb show is called sweet magnolias, and it’s. honestly not terrible! it’s just not my style of show. OH WAIT i take it back, they left it on a really shitty cliffhanger without warning, and that is the one way to make me drop your show/fic HARD unless i like. genuinely love you. so byeeee dumb show, hope you get cancelled

49. Invent a word and it’s meaning. saungry: sadness brought on by being hungry, like hangry except oops you’re crying now! example: “fuck i knew i should’ve eaten before calling my best friend, now i miss them and i’m too saungry to figure out what to eat! Guess I’ll have tears for dinner” (almost called it sungry, but the internet thinks that might just mean ‘so hungry’)

did you make it to the end? WOW! devotion. thank you.

why r u? - ep 6

I really do like watching the way Fighter is essentially fighting with himself in most of his scenes with Tutor. He is aware of what he wants on some level, because he teases both of them with it -- did you think I would kiss you, I told them I was your boyfriend and we had sex, etc. But then he recoils from what he desperately wants and tries to pretend it’s all a joke.

So, hmm, the class dynamic -- the wealth-poverty dynamic -- is very much at play in the relationship as well. That Fighter’s family is rich, that Tutor’s family used to be rich... given HwaHwa’s relationship with both of them, that her family talks to Fighter’s (and has been encouraging them together) and that she’s childhood friends with Tutor, puts her in that same ‘wealthy family with expectations’ category.

idk and there’s this vibe sometimes of “I want to give you back the life to which you used to be accustomed” going on in places with Fighter-Tutor.

The scene with Fighter’s dad made me very tense (even with the delayed subs). idk, I don’t trust him. Fighter is such a nervous cat of a person and it’s hard not to believe that comes from his family (and we only saw his dad with him in the family photo, so it may just be the two of them?).

Oh, good, the subs seem to be timed correctly in part two.

Hmm, so this side-couple -- Japan and TanThai, I think? -- this bit does echo one of the big themes in the main couples, too, the idea of ‘keeping up appearances’ and how maybe, even if you feel like you need to do that in front of the world, maybe you can drop the act when you’re with someone you trust, and even if they tease you, it’s meant with love and not to mock.

Oh, Saifah’s reactions to this phone call with Zon -- he is in love, love, love. (I mean, I suspected as much after he kissed the note Zon left last episode, but it’s still cute). Zon has also chilled out a lot about being around Saifah now that he thinks Zol has re-written her novel to remove the romance elements. Zon’s smile after they get off the phone and then touching his cheeks because he realizes he’s blushing -- very cute.

Fighter being so touched by Tutor taking Fighter’s desires into account (re: their meal) and saying no one has ever done that for him before? Honey. But that goes back to the themes we saw with them in the episode 2/3 flashbacks -- Fighter wants someone to understand him, wants to understand someone. Something in him has told him from the start that Tutor could be that person for him, but Fighter has absolutely no clue how to get from point A to point B. He wants and wants and wants, but fumbles whenever he tries to turn those wants into reality because that’s never been a possibility for him before.

Aaaah, that hand kiss and then Tutor almost kissing Fighter. so close

With Saifah and Zon, as well, we also have the idea of getting out of the way of your own potential happiness. When Zon isn’t worrying about what it means or what it looks like to other people or if he’s accidentally trapped in a novel, then he really likes spending time with Saifah and doing straight-up flirty/romantic things with him.

Ah, they did the whole thing where one person says that the environment they’re in is beautiful and the other person agrees that it’s beautiful but is looking at the first person and not whatever pretty environment they’re in. That’s such a classic trope. The rooftop date meeting was very cute and sweet.

We find out what’s going on with Fighter here and it’s... a lot, though it’s kinda what I’ve been expecting. His dad cares so much about appearances, not a surprise from how Fighter has behaved in the past. Dating Hwa is a dictate from his father; again not a surprise but having it confirmed is painful. So, his dad is dating Hwa’s mom, they’re doing a business deal together, so they also want Fighter and Hwa to be together to close the circle, essentially. Fighter’s wishes are not to be taken into account. Hwa has done her part by genuinely caring for Fighter, so Fighter is the odd piece out and needs to be hammered into place in order to make everything smooth and perfect.

Fighter and HwaHwa finally having the talk where he basically tells her, yeah, he likes her as a person but not like that. Very glad he was able to say it out loud to her. And it sucks to have your heart broken! But Hwa trying to emotionally blackmail Fighter into staying in the relationship at the start of the convo (by threatening to go to the parentals) was also very not cool. So, I feel bad for her but it’s better for them to officially have the possibility broken off now, I think. Now that Fighter was able to summon up the words to her.

Apparently Zon’s friends make a lot of Thai language-based wordplay jokes that don’t translate well. This is what I’ve read online. So it’s not surprising their scenes are more confusing to me because verbal humor is one of those things that tends to be very culturally-influenced, from what I’ve seen in general.

I kinda feel like the tallish guy in Zon’s friend group has a crush on him.

Hwa and Day... Day is so obviously sincere in his feelings that it’s hard for me to be mad at him for asking Hwa out when she’s still raw from Fighter’s rejection even though, like, bro. Maybe wait like a little bit of time? But he’s so soft about it and he wants to make her feel better and feel like she’s desired and attractive and not ‘too demanding’ or too much or not good enough or any of the rest of what she’s worrying about.

Blue’s crush on Champ is super-cute but also I don’t want literally anyone (definitely including Champ) to be kissing Blue because he is a BABY (don’t interact with him at all, Dew. Just stop). Seriously, Blue feels so much younger than all the other students and I just want to put him in bubble wrap idk.

Every interaction with Saifah and Zon is softer than the previous one. I caaaan’t.

The Tutor-Fighter kiss. And Tutor going use your words while Fighter counters use your actions. That last scene between them was... a lot. Both of them trying to figure out how real this thing between them is. (it’s very real; you’re both so into each other; stop torturing each other already omg)

#why r u the series #wru the series #why r u? spoilers #wru spoilers #tutorfighter #fightertutor #bl meta post #saifahzon #these just keep getting longer lol

Living the Dream

Chapter 1

Steve didn’t understand why you were so upset. This was what you wanted. He had heard you tell Nat and your brother when you would hang out and chill on the couch. This was your dream. Married to someone who loved you, the two of you would have kids, and you would never have to work, Steve would make sure of that, he would take care of everything. He would always take care of you. So why were you reacting like this? He did not appreciate your attitude.

Your brother worked at Stark Tower, he was a soldier, that’s all your family had been told, that he had special clearance and that he worked for the government, mostly overseas. You hadn’t been close until your mother and father died, and for some reason your brother felt like it was his fault. It most certainly was not, but he made sure you two had a closer relationship after that. He was a soldier, yes, but his government position had him on secret missions, taking government issued “enhancements” and working with superheroes. Not exactly NSA stuff, but not strictly Army either.

Either way, as you two became closer he let you know more about him. It wasn’t your job, but he would occasionally ask you to the Tower, you helped Bruce and Tony with coding and electronics. Your father always had a garage full of half functioning radios, circuit boards, satellite pieces, cables and cars, and out of boredom you had become pretty good at figuring out how to take things apart and put them back together. When you had enough money saved up, you even convinced your father to let you buy one of the first computers that could fit inside the garage, so you could yank it to pieces, just to rebuild it. Most of the Stark tech was far more advanced than you could comprehend, but there were a few things you could tinker with and help Bruce and Tony get into working order.

You weren’t close with people there, but what seemed like workplace friendships developed, and once a week or so you would hang out in the common areas with your brother, movie nights and takeout, and everyone would fall into a pleasant conversation together.

“You know this isn’t my day job, right?” You asked your brother when he called, yet again, and asked you to come give a different perspective to Tony and Bruce. “I have other things to do between 9 and 5, you know that right?”

“Yes, I know that, but this is important. Will you come down after work?” He asked over the phone. “I’ll buy you dinner.” He was trying to bribe you.

“Okay fine, but I’m not going to enjoy it at all. I’m going to complain the entire time.”

“Deal! See you after 5!” Your brother ended the call before you could mutter out another snappy response.

At 5, you ended your last therapy session for the day, and headed towards the tower. Even though you promised your brother you weren’t going to have a good time, the thought of working with your hands made you a little bit happy. You loved your job but getting covered in engine grease and making things whirr had always been a hobby you’d enjoyed.

When you arrived at the tower, your brother didn’t greet you as usual, but instead Steve Rodgers did, Captain America, the self-righteous, stand up guy himself. Steve was always nice to you, but his holier than though attitude rubbed you the wrong way. Not to mention it seemed incredibly hypocritical given that his best friend was a mercenary who spent the last 70 years murdering people for sport. But whatever, he was always kind, and seemed to be politely interested in your life. Hardly the worst person to greet you.

“Hey! Good to see you! You know, you really don’t come down here often enough, we all miss seeing your face around here.” Steve welcomed you with a smile.

“Hey Steve, it’s good to see you too. Do you know where my brother ran off to? He asked me to come over after work but he’s not answering my texts.” Your brother was a godawful communicator. You had told him multiple times that you didn’t understand why he even had a cell phone if he never used it to answer calls or texts.

“Yeah, he and Sam went out on a call. They should be back late tonight or tomorrow morning. He didn’t tell you?” Steve looked confused. But it figured, after all, this was not the first time.

“Well there goes my free dinner.” You huffed. Steve laughed.

“I’m 110% sure that Tony has enough pocket change to get you some dinner. You do a lot of free work for him, he does appreciate it. You want me to help you strongarm him into making a dinner order?” He offered, as the two of you started walking downstairs to Tony’s state of the art laboratory.

“Nah, that’s okay. I’ll just tell him I won’t do any work until he places an order for pad Thai. I’m pretty sure Bruce will join the labor strike, he has a soft spot for spring rolls.” You joked. Steve smiled as you peeked through the glass to see what Tony and Bruce were tinkering with as you approached.

“Hey, will you stay for a movie after you guys are through with your new toys? Nat and I got a couple new releases that we couldn’t see in the theater, we’d love you to join us, like I said, we don’t see enough of you.” Steve looked eager, and almost nervous.

“Sure, depending on how late Tony wants to play with his toys,” you replied, “if it’s not too late I’ll stick around.” Steve smiled so wide you were surprised it didn’t hurt his face.

“Great! I can’t wait- well we can’t wat to see you, the movies are supposed to be good.” Steve waved goodbye as you walked through the lab doors, shrugging into a lab coat, tying your hair up so it didn’t get singed off again by some “toy” Tony neglected to make sure didn’t start fires.

“Okay, what’ve we got today?” Both Tony and Bruce looked up from the bench, happy to see you again.

It wasn’t actually that late, hardly 8pm. You, Bruce and Tony had been able to work out whatever bugs there were in a very short amount of time, and there was a whole mess of Thai food about to be delivered to the Tower. You headed up to the common area, kitchen that opened into a comfy seating area. This is where you came to hang out with your brother, large TV and fast wifi. It was pretty great. Steve and Nat were sitting on opposite couches, bickering about which movie to choose.

“What do you think? You get to choose, you’re the one who’s been getting exploited for your talent down in that lab, you to choose tonight.” Nat piped up once she saw you enter the room.

“Hey, I’m down for whatever, I’m just waiting on my dinner. I’m not getting in a fight over a movie.” You were grateful when Tony came in holding three bags that smelled delicious, and began to get plates out for everyone.

Once they had finally decided on a movie, and everyone had food, you situated yourself on a couch. Steve had decided to encroach on your space by getting far too close on the loveseat you had meant to sit on alone. His thighs pushed against yours as you tried to eat and watch the movie you didn’t really care about paying attention to.

Halfway though, Steve decided to stretch out his arms, which you now found slightly around your shoulders. You didn’t notice how his face darkened when you leaned forward, and you tried to ignore him when he pressed even closer as the movie dragged on. You were annoyed that he was taking up ¾ of the space on the loveseat, but technically this was his residence, and you were a visitor. Besides the movie was almost done, and you were ready to go home, have tea, and collapse into bed.

As you put the dishes in the dishwasher and gathered your things, Steve walked up behind you. This man seemed to be oblivious to the term ‘personal space’ as he was again too close for comfort.

“So, what did you think of the movie?” He asked from behind you.

“It was cute,” you said, “it’s everything someone hopes for, you know? The perfect millennial pipe dream, wonderful and unattainable.” The thoughts of your future were jaded.

“How so? It seemed great to me, perfect, but not unattainable.” Steve replied. You laughed.

“Steve, not a single person I know could have that. We’re millennials. A happy marriage is something only lucky people manage, and the mother not having to work after two kids? Wild. I mean I’d love that, but I could never afford something like that. A beautiful house in that kind of neighborhood, with two kids on a single income? Like I said, it was a good ending, just not something I can see happening in this day and age.” The movie had been good, but the ending lacked substance. Having everything tied up with a bow, a happy marriage, happy kids, happy life, that was just a cop out as far as you were concerned.

“Call me old fashioned, but that’s how it used to be. Mom didn’t work, dad took care of everything. Nuclear family.”

“Shit, yeah, that would be nice. But I don’t know anyone that would actually work out for, certainly not for me.”

“Hey, never say never.” Steve said with a smile.

“Yeah, I guess.” You weren’t too concerned with the nuclear family you were sure was not going to happen.

“It’s dark out there, maybe you should just crash in your brother’s room.”

“I’m okay,” you replied, “I like my own bed.”

“Can I drive you home at least? It’s an eerie city once the sun’s gone down.”

“No, thank you though, I’ve got my own car. I appreciate it.” You had spent enough time in the tower, it was time for rest and relaxation- alone. Too many people and not enough alone time made you uncomfortable, being alone in your cozy apartment always soothed you.

“I’ll, uh, I’ll see you tomorrow then, yeah?” Steve asked. You weren’t sure why he was hanging around so much, everyone else had left.

“Yeah, if they need some help. We’ll see what my schedule looks like. I’ll probably be around.” You were waving and walking away, over the conversation, over the night, just ready for some peace.

I am desperate to leave the living situation I am in. I need help. I have tried other place in the past and not a budge. It's a stretch for me to try here. It's a hit or miss deal.

I am 21 years old, working 40+ hours a week with $10 an hour, no vehicle* and I am living with my homophobic family. This has been my life for a while now in this broken down house, literally. I'm in hell.

I do love my job and the family I work but 10 and hour doesn't cut it to live on my own. I hate asking money from them because they have treated me so well in the past. I always feel guilty asking. (This family has gave me gifts amd money to help me get items I need like the special boots I had to order. I need to replace them since they are beat up but they were not cheap for me and work helped me.)

These are the KURU Boots they helped me get because I work outside all day and I am on my feet. I have had these for around six months but they are done. I need to buy a new pair of KURU shoes but I am holding off for at least a few more weeks. (I have plantar faciatis. Work has worked around that fact with me.)

Before you ask, I have tried to do another job, ended up quitting because it was too much to go from outside retail (from 8am-6pm depending on what day it was) to a restaurant (on weekend nights) and didn't get to go home til around midnight a few times? (and for them to ignore some of my notes on my resume about my mental health? I was not going to stay so I quit there and continued to work at my current job.) I have applied for other part time jobs and got one call back but couldn't make it and asked to be rescheduled and they say' "Yes. We can do that." Then that time comes and never get another call?

*In April, it will mark two years my own vehicle has sat in the yard. TWO. YEARS. I do, however, have someone coming Friday night (Mar 13) to look at my truck and then return Sunday afternoon to work on it. So I won't be vehicleless too much longer, hopefully. I've seen his work but I am afraid to be screwed over because I have issues with that. I am always scared since I have been screwed over before.

That truck is my golden ticket outta here.

I am the only LGBT+ person in the house. I know my family is homophobic because they wear it proudly on their sleeve. I have heard their vile bullshit. I hate living in south North America.

It is like they don't think I can hear them when I wear my headset but boy oh boy, all the shit I've been fucking stuck hearing? I have had no privacy in 5 years. FIVE. Look at this.

I am near my bed right now and that is my view to the living room and kitchen. I hear everything. I hear the fighting between my parents, my brother when he talks about me. When I make comment about it they go back and say, "That's the point." when it comes to them talking about me. They clearly are too thick to see how much that has mentally damaged me.

Right behind this wall, is a health hazard.

From the sock over to the dresser is damp on the carpet be cause for over a month we have had a water leak from our water heater tank.

When I opened the door in the room to the water heater tank is, in the room beyond that brick wall- this is what I saw.

A brick wall is literally keeping me from that right now. I am sure that is black mold. I have not felt the best since I opened that door and took those pictures.

My so called father knows about it and hasn't done shit.

You see this?

The bathroom with the working shower has looked like this since at least 2017. That plywood is starting to get bad because of us showering.

In the other bathroom a light could fall in any moment. Been like this for roughly a year or more. I don't know anymore.

We live down the road from a restaurant and when they spray for roaches, we know. We know because my brother works there and they are in our house for a few weeks. I got up late one night to go get some water, flip the switch and I managed to see three small roaches scuttling into dark areas of the kitchen.

Do not get me started on mice during the winter. I don't see them but I can sure as hell hear them.

Another thing. The house is old so the foundation is not stable. The living room floor is warped in different areas and we have a leak under the house with our sewage line I believe. But at least once a month, under the house has to be pumped out of water. We do not have a basement.

My dad clearly does not give a flying fuck about anyone but himself. I think my absent father is a scociopath. Let me clarify. Physically there but never interacted with his kids. HE DOES NOT AND WILL NEVER KNOW HOW TO INTERACT WITH HIS FUCKING FAMILY.

The audacity to think I wanted a rifle that I will never shoot as a high school graduation gift?? I told him I wanted an xbox for graduation around the time he was about to get the rifle and it baffled him. I have always had a high interest in video games and I had not owned my own gaming system like an xbox or playstation of my own up until 2017. It was always share the Wii or PS2. He doean't know me at all.

I've heard my parents fight for at least the last few months and I am so sick of it. My friends are fucking worried beyond belief. They are stuck fucking hearing it when I am in a voice party with them and it is so embarrassing.

Just get a fucking divorce already. I am really tired of playing mom's therapist. I get that she needs to vent and all but to your traumatized, mental disordered child? I already am suffering enough from lack of needed treatment. It has taken such a strain on me that my facade is completely crumbling away at work. I can't hide my pain much longer.

I have wanted to kill myself twice in the last year alone to escape this. I have wanted to make it quick and the least messy as possible with one of the many hand guns thay lay around in the house. I was so close to going through with it the second time I thought about it.

I had made my mind up. Write a letter and a will for what my friends get and what to throw away. I was about to start writing it once I decided that I was ready to die. I scared some people and they told me to go to a hotline to talk me out of it.

That was seven months ago.

I need to escape and this is my last shot on asking for help. (I have asled help for different things and I have been overlooked.) I know friends who want to help me are unable to. I am not mad at them. They are already doing what they can to help themselves first beofre me because I care aboit them and want to make sure they are in a good spot before anything else. They aren't in the best situations either.

I need financial help to help me move. I am only asking for a total of $5000. If you can only donate even just $1 dollar, I will be more than thankful for you help. I am also opening commissions at this time. Please bear with me on timing. I am working 40+ hours a week right now and will work on the commissions as soon as I get a breathing chance when I get home.

My Commission Prices

$10 for a sketch and that will go from a bust to full body. I only do traditional- so pencil and paper. No sketch lines, just a clean pencil drawing. No limit to characters on one drawing. You will be charged for more than one character if you are going to have them on individual papers.

+$1 if you want it inked.

Note- I will not draw backgrounds, do shading or draw any NSFW. I am not adept in those fields.

My Paypal-

Thanks for at the very least reading through. Please help this be spread around. I will follow up with weekly updates through reblogs.

Some Dark Shade of Tired

Fandom: Super Smash Bros

Synopsis: Even in the World of Light, adventurers need their rest. Saving countless souls is never easy, after all. It's especially the case for the rookies, so when Villager finds himself losing sleep to someone's sobs he has no choice but to take action.

Word Count: 2114

Original Post Date: August 26, 2019

Characters: Villager, Ness (Minor/Mentions of Mario, Lucas, Paula, Jeff, Prince Poo, Galeem, Ness’s Family, Isabelle, Toon Link, Rosalina, Luigi, Trainer Red)

Ships: Ness/Villager (Can be taken as platonic or romantic)

Trigger Warnings: None

Other Notes: Ness has a lisp that only really comes out when his emotions go out of whack; I see Villager as a kid (like twelve years old); this is a sequel to Split Number One

Ao3 Link - Sequel to This

~~~

There were panicked, choked-up sobs coming from the cliff edge nearby when Villager woke up. He grunted quietly and shifted, glaring in the relative darkness. “Come on, who is up,” the little mayor hissed to himself. Any attempts of blocking it out proved futile, since the constant rays of light Galeem gave off were shining through the trees and into his eyes and the crying wasn’t stopping anytime soon. So he went to check it out.

Grazing his hand against a tree, Villager stepped over its roots and drew his gaze over the clearing. Once his eyes adjusted, he could just barely make out another fighter. Black hair… a striped shirt… a yellow-brown backpack clutched desperately against his chest… was that-

“I can’t do thith now,” Ness suddenly sputtered, cutting off Villager’s train of thought. “Out of all the timeth, not now, it can’t be now…!”

Yeesh. I… don’t think I’m qualified to help here. Villager backed up a little, pivoting to return to his sleeping bag. Ness wasn’t usually like that. He was supposed to be the confident, easygoing guy. Not… that. Whatever had gotten to him was probably something really private, which was likely something really deep and emotional, which was certainly not the mayor’s line of expertise.

…But he stopped halfway through his next step, because suddenly he remembered.

“You’re as much a part of this team as us, Villager. And we need your help just like you need ours.”

Mario’s words from before were rattling around in the back of his brain. They had never left, really, since even after they had cheered him up it still felt like he was barely helping. It wasn’t as if he was bad at fighting, but the others were just more experienced. Better. Aside from that, and providing everyone with snacks, Villager’s attempts to even out the burden-to-help ratio weren’t working.

So should he do something here? This was his chance to make up for it all, with one of his friends at that, and if he could run errands for the citizens back home then maybe it wouldn’t hurt to-

It didn’t matter what he decided anyway, because right then his overthinking was cut off by a burst of light. Whatever flickered behind him came completely out of the blue. The brunette squeaked and hurtled to the ground.

When Villager opened his eyes again, the other boy was staring at him.

The mayor shot to his feet. “Uh. Heeey, Ness.”

“How- how long have you been there?” came the tense response.

“Doesn’t matter.” He’d play it cool. “What’re… what’re you doing crying out here? Really loudly? …In the middle of the night?” Okay, maybe that wasn’t so cool.

“Stop it! I’m not crying.”

“There are tears all over your face.”

Ness turned away. “It’th the PK Flash.”

Raising an eyebrow, Villager pressed, “Since when has that ever affected you?” The PSI user just shrugged. His hands were still fizzing with bits of green. “Come on now,” the kid in the No. 1 shirt continued, “there’s nothing to hide out here! Nobody’s gonna laugh at you, you know, if you’re the one saving the world.”

“…I don’t care if people laugh at me.”

“Oh?”

“Well, I’m a laugh-y guy, right? Heh…” When Ness paused, it left the sounds of sniffles and the distant pummeling of a waterfall. “It’s worse when people get all worried.”

Villager ran over the sentence in his head. “It’s… worse when… Huh. I guess I never really thought about that.”

“Everybody’s got their own problems,” sighed the kid in stripes, “especially right now. You’ve seen it, I’m sure. You see how hard they’re taking everything, and the least you can do is be the big guy. Make sure you don’t worry ‘em even more.”

“Mm. …You know what?”

“I don’t really know a lot of things. Uh, what?”

“Of course we’re going to worry, but- if we get to, then you should too! Our team will only be as strong as the weakest of us, so we all gotta get stronger! And that doesn’t just mean physically. So go ahead and tell me… what’s wrong? I’m no Lucas when it comes to this stuff… but I’ll listen.”

Contemplation on Ness’s end, drawing out the seconds - one K.K. Slider, two K.K. Slider, will-he-ever-choose-K.K. Slider - until finally he set his backpack aside. “Okey,” he breathed. “Oookey.”

His violet eyes were some dark shade of tired when they met Villager’s.

“You see… I’m homesick again.”

The mayor blinked. “Wait wait wait, ‘again’? This is a recurring thing? I never knew you were homesick in the first place-”

“Well, I was! Why do you think I just randomly run off after matches? Whenever it happens, I can’t do anything until I call Mom.”

Leaves were rustling in the wind behind them. Villager gave a sympathetic nod.

“It’s always been like this,” continued the PSI boy. “As soon as I left Onett to find the Melodies I started calling her, and then, when I got back, then it was Paula, Jeff and Poo, a-and- And I know it’s such a tiny thing. I know they’re just a call away; so I don’t make a big deal about it. ‘Cause I’m not gonna weigh everybody down when they’ve got real problems and mine are always just a single call away.”

“…You say always… except…”

Quietly, almost hysterically he snickered to himself. “Yeah, you get it. You get it! Now there’s no one to call, is there? Some angel alien thing lasers everything away and now Mom’s a Spirit, and Tracy and Dad, and nobody answers me anymore! And I need them, Villy! I mith- miss them so much, this ithn’t fun anymore… I want to go home, but I can’t, and I can’t ring up anyone either so the feeling’th not gonna go away! Which meanth I’ll be all weak and utheleth right when you need me, I can’t do thith now, not when you need me, I-I-I-”

A moment of pause as Ness scrubbed at his eyes. Shaking, he tried to take a breath, but when he opened his mouth another thought spilled out instead.

“And I hate thith lithp too! You can’t underthtand anything I’m thaying, all of it jutht-”

What happened next looked to Villager like some kind of distraction, because his friend shot to his feet and was suddenly very interested in doing yo-yo tricks. Walking the dog, rocking the baby, a million other tricks Villy didn’t know the names of but were probably more caretaking terms… until Ness was able to slowly calm down again.

“…Nice tricks,” the mayor offered.

Then, when Ness didn’t answer, Villager took the opportunity to try and figure out what he had just heard. What was he supposed to say? How could he say anything at all? As if some cheesy “they might be dead but they’ll always be alive in your heart” would…

“Hey.” That wasn’t a terrible idea, actually. “Let’s go to Magicant.”

“Wh- What in th- Where’d that come from?”

With an awkward chuckle, Villager replied, “Trust me on this, alright? I know it makes no sense, but I want to show you something.”

Ness just sniffed and shut his eyes.

“So is… that a no, or-”

A pulling in the mayor’s chest cut him off, and then the world was pink and green and soft all around. As he steadied himself, he could see his friend nearby, buttoning up his pajama top. I wish I pocketed my pajamas. Then at least saving the universe would be comfy. Wait, not a good time.

“Here we are, O great mayor.” Taking a step toward the shorter fighter, Ness threw his hands out. “The train has arrived at the station. Now why are we here…?” Villager noted that despite the grand words and sweeping gesture, his friend’s eyes refused to meet anything but the floor.

Trying to figure out how to word his speech, the little mayor glanced to the side. It was there that a scene caught his eye. Just ahead, amidst a swirl of clouds and veggies, there was… a family. A blond woman was eating steak with her daughter. A man and an old dog sat nearby. All of them were smiling. And then the woman turned, and saw the two of them in the distance.

And she beckoned them to join in.

Something twinged in Villager’s chest. “Isn’t it obvious? We’re here because they’re here.”

“You can’t be serious…”

Smile fading fast, the kid in the No. 1 shirt snapped back to his friend. There was practically steam rising from the watery glare he met.

“Eh-? What’s with that look? What did I say?!”

“We just came so you could get me off your back! Villager, this isn’t real, everything here is just in my mind-”

“It’s not like that AT ALL!”

The next thing he knew, Villager had pulled the taller boy down by the shoulders and to his level. Suddenly the world seemed to dim around them.

“Listen up,” the mayor ordered. “This is for a reason, got it? Now pay attention, cause I’m only making my point once.” Ness nodded, startled, giving Villager the chance to take a breath.

“I know this is your mind. No duh! But can’t that mean these guys are made from your memories? The perfectly real memories that you’ve amassed over who knows how long? These are the people you know- they look and act and care like you’ve always seen. If you’re in a place where you’ve literally made memories, where everything is familiar, and where everybody loves you… I’d say, technically, you’ve got a home right where we stand!”

A step back. Crossed arms. Villager nodded in the family’s direction as Ness took a long look, contemplative. That wasn’t enough, was it? He’d still have to…

“…And, besides this place… I get missing them. I understand! I miss my family, my villagers, the shopkeepers… I missed Isabelle until we found her! Even now, Toon and Rosalina! I even… I even missed you-!” Warmth was starting to tinge his cheeks from such openness. He cleared his throat. No stopping now.

“Uh. Uhh, and I’m sure everyone else misses each other too. Mario talks about Luigi all the time, and Lucas is keeping an eye out for Red… What I’m trying to say is, you’re not alone in this. Any of this! Not just in feeling homesick, either. If you feel down? Insecure? Like you’re the biggest burden anyone in the entire World of Light has ever seen?! …I get it. We… we really, really get it. And if everybody gets everybody, then that means right now, we can be your family, too.”

Whatever reaction Villager was expecting, it wasn’t this. Had he been the one hearing it, he’d be saying something, not just… staring. Admittedly the stare wasn’t too surprising; it was more the fact that Ness was smiling, sincerely, for the first time since he’d been saved.

“You really do mean it, huh…”

“Well… yeah.”

Then he was almost sent toppling. The kid in stripes practically tackled him, squeezing him tightly. After flailing a moment, the mayor managed to find some kind of balance. He huffed, “Okay, what’s this for, it isn’t part of my deal-”

“I’d never expect that from you,” Ness whispered. “Thank you.”

“…Blech! You’re so sappy.” In response to the PSI user’s smirk, he merely stuck out his tongue.

“Says the guy with the big old speech. Who, ya know, is hugging me right back~”

And Villager immediately dropped his arms. “Y-YOU HAVE NO PROOF-” It was true, though. Lately lots of hugs had been going around. Just this once, he’d wanted to return one. “F… fine, I guess you’re not totally wrong… But you better not go acting like it’ll happen again.” Shaking his head, he moved to change the subject. “Nevermind that. Why don’t you tell me about them? Your family, I mean? There’s gotta be something interesting about ‘em for you to care so much, right?”

“Heh, lemme see… There was this one time Poo took a prank call… … …”

A few early risers the next morning, checking to make sure no one had been spirited away, immediately noticed they were down two fighters. Their epic search lasted only a few minutes. In the grassy clearing of the cliff edge lay the two, sound asleep.

The others stared a moment at their light-dappled faces before deciding to leave them be. Quiet, content… those expressions… who would want to interfere?

For a single morning in Galeem’s World of Light, despite all the odds, their expressions shone like they were right at home.

Harper Emery x F!MC Tag: @bubblygothzombie @korrasamixfan @emeryharper @delphinusbae @noeschoices @jellymonster

____________________________

Meredith hated night shift: it wasn't just another medical legend that during night shift anything can happen and things can get super weird. And hectic. At least that new nurse - Colleen? Doreen? She never seemed to remember her name yet- would have been there too: she had spotted her at the subway station so one friendly face around. I should bring her a coffee later, she was so kind to help me the other day, she thought as she walked towards Edenbrook Hospital with her earphones on: listening to music on her way to work helped her get in the right mood.

She had almost reached the main entrance when she noticed a familiar face approaching. Her lips immediatly curled into a most cheerful smile: what a lovely surprise bumping into Dr. Emery! Valentine was a bit early so she could have even lingered for a quick chat. She waved her hi out of instinct but Harper didn't see her. She didn't even look her way. She was with a man, a finely dressed man a bit older than her: classy and expensive looking linen suit, neat shirt, impeccably laced necktie.

The two of them were laughing as they made their way out of the hospital. They also looked so...close?

"I swear, Harper, that's what he said!" the man was saying, giggling. "See what happen when I finally clear my schedule to take you out to dinner?"

"Oh apologies! I didn't mean to cause so much trouble" Harper mocked an offended tone and playfully bumped his arm.

"I'm just kidding! I'm so happy to spend some time with you: I missed you, you know?" he added, putting an arm around Harper's shoulder and pulling her close.

"Same" Harper smiled. "I know our careers are...demanding, to put it mildly, but we should do it more often"

"Yeah...maybe next time you can come over! You haven't seen the new house yet: oh you should totally stop by. Tell you what? I may even cook for you"

"You cooking for me? You sure you don't have fever, darling?" Harper made a show of checking his temperature.

"Very funny, Harper" the man rolled his eyes then burst into laughter. "I hope that that new lovely Thai restaurant downtown will do for now"

"...Maybe" Harper smirked and they walked out of earshot into the parking lot, leaving Valentine to awkwardly stand in front of the glass doors.

So, Dr. Emery wasn't as lonely as many nurses gossiped. She had a date, well most likely a new partner. Meredith diverted her eyes and shook her head. But of course, how silly of me to think...to think what? She winced at her stupid assumptions and hopes. That a woman like her wouldn't make heads turn? That we were getting closer just because she answers my questions or we chat from time to time? She sighed deeply. That an intern like me could ever get her attention? Open your eyes, dumbass: she's way outta your league. At the fancy Thai restaurant Mr. Linen Suit is taking her you could buy the cheapest bowl of noodles on the menu if you're lucky.

"But it's time to face the truth/ I will never be with you" James Blunt's voice melancholically sang into her ears.

"Thank you for the remainder, James!" she groaned and harshly removed her earphones, storming into Edenbrook's main hall.

----------------------------------

A few days later, Harper gave her niece a ride on the way home.

"Thanks for having me, Aunt Harper" Aurora said, shifting to sit more comfortably.

"Don't mention it, Rory. How was your day?"

"The usual, you know. I just wonder how some interns could even get into med school if they clearly lack brain cells" the Emery girl commented sharply, making Harper chuckle. “Anyway, how did the Thai dinner with Dad go?"

"The place was neat, but I always knew Marcus had an eye for things like that. And it's almost...cute how much he cares for this little tradition we have: brother and sister night out to plan mom's birthday party. It just makes me cares so much too"

"Glad to hear, let me know the details of Nana's party"

"Of course!"

After a moment Aurora spoke again: there was a thought that kept bugging her.

"I know this is random but have you talked to Valentine recently?"

"Recently? A few days ago I guess?" Harper tried to remember as she turned into the street where Aurora lived now. "Why? Did something happen?"

"That's the thing: I don't know! But she's acting weird. I mean, weirder than usual"

"Valentine is not weird, don't be mean, Rory!" Harper protested: she couldn't genuinely understand why Aurora could ever define Meredith 'weird'.

"She is! Listen to this then you tell me! The other day I was brewing coffee when she materialized at my side and asked 'Aurora, is there a way to unfeel what you feel because you know you shouldn't feel that way? Or to tell yourself to stop feeling that way because it's utterly stupid?"

Harper furrowed her brows: that sounded a bit confusing, yeah.

"And...what did you answer?"

"I told her that the coffee wasn't even ready and there were too many "feel" in just two sentences"

"Empathy at its finest" Harper chuckled.

"I'm not a therapist and my brain needs coffee to function in the morning!" her niece protested.

"I just thought you two were friends and it seemed like she could use one"

"We might be friends, Auntie. But we don't braid each other hair and have long talks about feelings"

"But-" Harper refrained herself from telling that true friends do talk about feelings sometimes. "Nevermind, is she feeling better now?"

"I don't know but I hope so honestly, no more weird talks at the breakfast table - oh good news, he's there" she sighed in relief as Harper stopped the car.

Dr. Emery followed her gaze and saw an oddly familiar man leaning over a car not far from where they were.

"Isn't that paramedic...Aveiro?" Harper asked, failing to hide her surprise.

As if he heard someone calling his name, he turned and spotted them looking at him. He flashed them a bright smile and waved hi. The Emerys found themselves mechanically returning the greeting before he resumed checking his phone.

"Yep, the one you saved during that infernal E.R. emergency" Aurora confirmed, gathering her stuff.

"He's here to pick Valentine up: they're having dinner at his place or something like that? Whatever, a meet the grandma thing is involved in some way - I think - but I wasn't paying too much attention to be honest" she let out a relieved sigh, changing the topic. "Everyone is out on dates and work tonight and you can't believe how happy I am to have the place all for myself!"

But Harper wasn't listening anymore.

"Meet the grandma? I knew they're friends, I didn't think they were that...close" she looked back to Rafael.

He was just putting his phone away in his pocket when he raised his eyes and one of his signature smiles formed on his lips. Meredith ran into his arms a moment later and he made her swirl around before putting her back to the ground. The two of them started chatting but Harper couldn't make out any word from inside her car.

"It almost looks like they're dating" Harper noted, turning towards Aurora. "Do you kno-"

Her niece shrugged and opened her mouth to say something but her aunt anticipated her:

"You don't braid each other hair and don't have long talks about feelings" she repeated her words.

"Precisely" Aurora nodded in appreciation. "Can I go now, Auntie?"

"Oh sure! Have a good night, Rory" Harper said absentmindedly as her niece got out of the car and walked towards the front door of her new house.

Finally alone, Harper's gaze fell once again on Rafael's car now disappearing out of view. But of course, now it all made sense: Meredith being so adamant and ready to assist her during the operation, all the times she spotted her checking on him once her shift was over, squeezing his hand reassuringly as he laid in his hospital bed. The long hug they shared while Harper signed Aveiro's discharge papers. The two of them bantering and laughing with each other waking to the metro station together.

For reasons unknown, collecting the dots didn't bring any joy to Dr. Emery: on the contrary, she felt a pang of...sadness? Which upset the neurosurgeon: why would she even feel that way? Valentine was a colleague and what she did outside work, who she dated was none of her business.

Nor whose grandma she was gonna officially meet, she added mentally. She groaned: no, it's not working. But I mean...why should I care? That's ridiculous and...and...I shouldn't feel this way. I'm just happy that Valentine found such a nice match: Aveiro seems a very nice guy. And she deserved some happiness after all the rough stuff she's been through over the past months.

I just...no, nothing.

She sighed and started the car.

-------------------

"So, you're ready for Juliana?" Rafael asked, happily tapping the wheel. "I warn you, she can be quite intense: there's a reason why we call her 'hurricane Juliana' after all. If she's too much, just let me know and we can have a walk or go dancing if you're feeling like it"

"Thank you, Raf. But I'm sure I will have a great time tonight...thank you for having me!"

"Oh the pleasure it's all our, M.! Juliana kept asking when the lovely lady doctor comes to visit us, she's overjoyed to have you. Not to mention she's been cooking for hours: hope you're hungry, Valentine" he giggled.

"I'm sure Juliana is the best cook so worry not, Superman!" Meredith chuckled.

"Cool" Rafael gave her a quick look before looking back to the street. "I'm glad you agreed to this. With a little bit of luck we will bring the smile back on your face"

"I'm not sad or...off?" Meredith protested, but she didn't sound too convincing.

"And Juliana is a great advisor when it comes to matters of the heart and love troubles" he continued, throwing her a meaningful look.

Dr. Valentine gaped at him unsure whether to deny everything or surrender.

"How did you...? Am I that obvious?" she said in the end, biting her lip.

"No, worry not, M.! I just have a trained eye after years of soap-operas" he winked and after a moment they burst into laughter. ------------------

That night, sitting at two different tables, several blocks away from each other Dr. Emery and Dr. Valentine both found themselves repeating in their heads: is there a way to unfeel what you feel because you know you shouldn't feel that way?

Because it's stupid, how could I even think that it would work somehow? Because I shouldn't feel this way: why does it even bother me if she's dating that guy?

Billionaire - Part Seven

sup guys, a new part! i will leave my master list here for the rest of Billionaire and all my other work :) ___________________________

Katherine was playing with the ends of her long sleeves, her arms covered in ugly burn scars that would haunt her forever. Peter Parker’s eyes lit up when he walked in to see Katherine sitting patiently on her stool waiting for class to start. He’d been confused because he hadn’t seen her in the canteen with her usual group; it is where he got to see her more and it made him happy to see her laughing with her friends. He stuffed his hands into the pockets and walked towards the girl who was in a trance, she jumped seeing him sat next to her.

“Haven’t seen you at lunch lately, is everything okay?” Katherine felt her heart skip a beat at the fact someone had noticed her odd behaviour. She turned slightly in her chair sighing, her normally sparkling green eyes, dull and dark.

“Just focusing more on my grades, I’m falling behind in Physics and Chem” She lied to the Parker boy. Katherine obviously felt bad for lying to someone who cared about her, but she couldn’t risk telling him the truth; she was truly a freak in her eyes, and she could no longer be normal, well as normal as she could feel after the first accident. Her scars were something she would always hide. He nodded as she opened her book and started to write down the notes the teacher was putting on the board.

“Well, it turns out I’m actually pretty good at both. If you want, you could come to mine after school and I could help? We could make it a regular thing?” A small smile graced Katherine’s lips and she opened her mouth to reply but Peter stuttered, “Only if you want though. I mean- we don’t have”

“Oh, you’re cute Parker” She said laughing and Peter blushed heavily, “I would love to, I can come over after school today? I have physics last anyway” Peter noticed her eyes had lightened slightly and it made him smile, “What?” Katherine asked smiling at the boy. She was completely oblivious to his mad crush on her, but he preferred it that way.

“Don’t worry, pay attention and I’ll buy you a sandwich later” Shaking her head she listened to what the teacher was saying. As the pair left Chemistry, they headed towards the canteen, sadly having to go their separate ways, agreeing to meet by her locker at the end of the day. Taking a deep breath, Katherine took a seat in her usual spot and it felt foreign to be surrounded by her friends. Liz, Holly and Lauren all stopped talking and faced the quiet girl.

“Hey, are you okay? You’ve been quiet the past couple weeks” Liz said, her slim body turning to face Katherine. “Just a lot going on at home, you know with Mom’s anniversary coming around and I’m falling behind in Science” All the girls suddenly wrapped their arms around their friend.

“We are all here for you Kath, please don’t get distant! We need our fourth member, otherwise how are we supposed to go as the M&Ms!” Holly said, her dark hair pinned on top of her head. Katherine had completely forgot about Flash’s Halloween party tomorrow night and how the girls had decided to go as the blue, red, yellow and green M&M because, according to Lauren who was a fashion genius, nothing is better than slutty M&M costumes. Just as Katherine was about to make up an excuse, a long-sleeved blue dress was shoved in her face, “We noticed you’ve been wearing long sleeves, so we thought you’d want a long sleeved rather that short” Tears filled the teenage girls’ eyes and she smiled widely.

“Thanks guys” Katherine hadn’t realised that her friends had been watching her and taking note of how she was dressing and acting, it made her heart fill with warmth and a genuine smile appear on her face, but something was wrong. Her fingers were tingling, and her head swarmed with warnings that something was going to happen.

Suddenly, she shut her eyes and gasped seeing the Iron man suit shooting directly at her, her family fighting, her brother waving his arms distressed and it was soon gone when something came crashing down blocking her vision. She couldn’t hear her friends telling her to stop or asking her what was wrong, but she just grabbed her bag and dress and stumbled out of the canteen, Peter Parker’s worried and confused eyes following. Once she was alone outside the school, she let out a small cry and bunched up the sleeves of her jumper seeing her scars brighten with electricity. Katherine searched through her contacts sending Peter a message that she’d still be over later and then calling Bruce Banner; she couldn’t hide this pain any longer.

The room was cold, and the needle was sharp and something Katherine had always hated. Of course, nearly straight away Bruce agreed to help the young girl; she had a special place in each of the Avengers hearts. Katherine had explained the whole situation and showed it to Bruce and now he was doing blood tests.

“Thank you so much for doing this, I’m scared to tell Dad” She spoke pulling her sleeve back down.

“I’m always here, besides it’s not like I was doing much anyway, how have you kept these secrets for so long?” He asked, his fingers running over her small scarred arms. She shrugged pulling both sleeves hiding them. Katherine knew if her father ever saw them, he’d assume the worst, she couldn’t forget the man who had done this to her and he haunted her nightmares. Bruce was amazed when he witnessed what she could do and how she saw something; he said that he wasn’t sure what they meant but they could be visions if she continued to have them which frightened her a little bit.

“If we are about done, I can come back tomorrow, I have somewhere I need to be” She told him hopping off the table and grabbing the bag. “I’ll message you the results, it’s easier than you are travelling down here” Without thinking Katherine wrapped her arms around the man and he carefully hugged her back, “Thank you” She whispered, and he squeezed her once before leaving. She had a revision session with a particular boy she had to get to.

The white front door was slightly worn, and the once golden number was now rusty. She lifted her hand gently knocking on the door and it was swung open to reveal a gorgeous middle-aged woman, her brown hair tied in a bun on her head. She blinked her large eyes at Katherine’s face and titled her head slightly.

“Katherine?” the girl smiling slightly, “I haven’t seen you since, god you look so much like your mother” She was a couple of inches taller than the teenager, Katherine had stopped growing as soon as she hit thirteen, so whilst she stayed at the small height of five foot four and everyone else growing much taller than her – especially Peter Parker.

“Aunt May?” Her eyes lit up slightly as she heard the familiar voice she had been waiting for. Aunt May quickly let go of Katherine and welcomed her into the apartment. “Peter! Why didn’t you say we were having guests! I would have made dinner and tried! I’m sorry Katherine, we are going to have Thai for dinner if that’s ok?” Katherine smiled at the lady who was yelling at her nephew who was pretty much a foot taller than her. Once May left the two teenagers at the door, Peter awkwardly stuffed his hands in his pockets and Katherine pulled her sleeves down.

“My room is just down the corridor”

***

Empty noodle boxes sat on the coffee table, the two teenagers, stomachs full of Thai food and cookies, made by May herself, their eyes glued to the television screen which was currently playing The Phantom Menace; a film Katherine hadn’t seen before but heard Peter and Tony rave about on numerous occasions. Peter was watching so intently, he didn’t realise Katherine was watching him, there was something about the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled and how his forehead creased when he concentrated. Quickly, Katherine looked away from the boy before he could see her. Her eyes widened when she saw the clock about to hit nine in the evening and she realised she hadn’t told her father where she was. Muttering a swear under her breath, she cringed when she saw she had seven missed calls and twelve text messages. Not wanting to face the wrath of her father, she sent a message to Pepper letting her know where she was and that she was about to head home.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t realise the time! I need to get home before my dad kills me” Katherine said stuffing her chemistry notes back into her bag wrapping her arms around her, “I’ll see you tomorrow at Flash’s Halloween party, right?”

“I wasn’t planning on going. I can walk you home?” The boy offered, a crooked smile on his perfect face making Katherine smile slightly. “You should come, I’m being forced to go, come and be miserable with me! And you gotta dress up. I’ll be okay, thank you anyway. Say thank you to May for me?” She asked slipping her trainers back on and grabbing the door knob only to have a wave of nausea hit. Her eyes closed, and she saw the same scenes play out, except a body suited in red and blue swung past her eyes before she opened them. “You ok? You kinda zoned out” Peter asked, concern laced in his voice and his eyes furrowing. She quickly nodded and whispered goodbye before quickly leaving the apartment building and back to Avengers Tower. As soon as she got onto the floor she saw Tony, Pepper, Steve, Wanda and Vision waiting for her; Tony’s eyes found her first and he came marching up to the young girl.

“Where the hell have you been young lady? It’s nearly ten o’clock and you didn’t come home after school! How can you expect me to let you have freedom if you don’t follow the rules I’ve put in place Katherine!” He yelled the remaining Avengers watching from behind him; Katherine was only slightly taking in him telling her off because everything started to sway. “Dad I’m sorry” She started to tell him but was cut off by him yet again.

“Do you have any clue how worried I’ve been! I thought you were hurt again, what if you had been hurt again!” Katherine’s eyes started to feel heavy and she swayed slightly stumbling on her feet. She mumbled something before falling into her father, her eyes shut and head spinning. Tony caught her only to fall to his knees holding his daughter close. “Get Banner on the phone. Now”

Tony was pacing the floor of his lab running through the millions of possibilities of what was wrong with his daughter, he knew it could just be that she is tired or that she is stressed but he had an inkling that it was something more. Helen Cho had been the one to reveal Katherine’s scars to the world and she was amazed by the indents in the girl’s arms. She lifted the blanket covering your body folding it so that your arms were free, a mistake she didn’t know would hurt you so much. Bruce suggested that Tony took a seat for the news he was about to receive, the rest of the team awaiting the news.

“Tony, you have to accept the fact Kath didn’t want anyone to know about this. She asked me specifically not to tell you because she wanted to herself, but obviously I have no choice now” Katherine was surely going to kill the kind man when she woke up and nobody truly knew what happened when she got angry.

“Banner you’re scaring me” Tony admitted. All that was running around his billionaire brain was that his daughter had cancer and that she was going to be taken from him just like her mother. Or that she days left to live before some infectious disease took over and killed her. Or maybe she was just dehydrated, Tony was panicking about all the possibilities.

“When Katherine was in hospital after the car crash, she admitted to me that the seizure didn’t just happen, it was because she was injected with some type of serum. I have never seen this type of chemical mix before and I don’t know how they did it, but they did know what they were doing.” Banner told him. “Get to the damn point” Tony growled facing Bruce.

“When she was injected, a mutation in her genes was triggered and enabled her to develop a power. She has shown me what she can do, and it is amazing, but it came at a price. Katherine is scarred up her arms from her powers, they are deep, so they’ll be there forever. She can control some form of electricity, she is much like Wanda in the way she shows it. She also mentioned something about having a vision and seeing you and Thomas” Tony’s head was spinning at the fact that his daughter’s life was now completely different to what it used to be. He made a promise to her mother that he would protect Katherine from anything that could possibly hurt her, and he had just broken it again, “Tony, at this point there is nothing I can do to help her, the serum injected into her is something I’ve never seen before. All we can do now is help her control it and give her the most normal life we can” Tony nodded trying to take in all the words and not freak out.

He stood from his place and went straight to Katherine’s room where she was peacefully sleeping; Tony’s eyes watered when he saw his daughter’s arms. He couldn’t imagine the pain she must’ve been going through the past couple of weeks and how she felt like she couldn’t tell her own father, yet she could tell Bruce, Steve and Wanda. Tony hated how his daughter had been in this state twice in the past three months and it was his fault for not protecting her. Grabbing her hand in his he ran his fingers over the scars, cringing when they didn’t end.

“Kathy what have I done? I’m such a terrible father letting this happen to you, I promised your mom that I wouldn’t let anything happen to you and know look what has happened. I know that you’ll be angry that Bruce told me, but I couldn’t be prouder of you and love you more than anything. I will do everything in my power to make sure you can live a normal life and we can fix this problem” Tony told his daughter who continued to lie unconscious. His head turned to the nightstand which held the girls phone which lit up with a name, one he didn’t know.

Hi Kath, just checking in that you got home, and you are ok, you acted a little weird before you left. See at school – Peter :)

So, this is where she’s been going Tony thought; she missed a couple of movie nights to spend time with some boy. He was beyond mad that she hadn’t told him where she was but now, he was absolutely livid that she was with a boy. In Tony’s eyes, Katherine was still his sweet little girl who ran around the tower wearing pink tracksuits and her hair in bunches, not a sixteen-year-old girl who has superpowers, wears short skirts and hangs out with boys. Hearing the girl stir in her sleep, he quickly put the phone back where he found it, quickly forgetting about it. Katherine jumped when she saw her father sat next to her and her arms fully exposed, tears struck her eyes.

“I’m so sorry” She sobbed, tears dripping from her face onto the material of her night gown, “I’m so scared Dad. I’m so scared” Katherine admitted grabbing onto her father’s trembling hand. She started mumbling apologise repeatedly until she started breathing heavily. Tony had seen this happen to her only once before and that is when Thomas didn’t write her back for weeks and she had been alone in her room.

“Sweetheart calm down, it’s ok you did nothing wrong. You’ve done nothing wrong, I’m going to fix this okay honey, I’m going to make it better” He had wrapped his arms around his daughter as she sobbed heavily into his shoulder, not caring if she was soaking his t shirt with her tears, “I’m gonna fix this”

Charlie Weasley x Mc

Summer was amazing to almost everyone but there was always someone who couldn't enjoy it , and that was Y/n L/n case . She was a fourth year at Hogwarts and wasn't really expecting with happiness going back home . Her mother was always shouthing at her and asking why her brother was still missing . She couldn't bear it anymore .

"Mom , is there any chance we could invite our friend ? " Bill asked his mother who was braiding little Ginny's hair . " She is probably not having a good summer at home , I think . Her letters are the most boring thing I have ever read ."

"That may be yours , Bill , mine are more interesting ." Said Charlie with a bright smile on his face .

"Im sure all you talk about in your letters are dragons ."

"That is not true " The oldest brother looked at him and raised his eyebrow . " We talk about Quidditch and more things .

"Okay , whatever you say ." He laughed and looked at her mother who saw all the argument in silence .

"You can invite her over , but not the whole month ." She said finally . "Just one or two weeks .

They looked at each other and smiled , happy that they could have Y/n at their home finally . Bill thought of her as a little sister and everytime he saw her he thought about how well she would get with all the Weasleys .

When their dad finally came home the first thing they did was going to Y/n's house .

She was in her room reading a book . The best time of the day was whenever she received one of her friends letter , they would tell her how amazing was being their summer and that made her happy .

"Who told you that you could read instead of looking for the next vault ." Her mother was in the door of her room , once again talking about her dear son . She was sick of that woman worrying more about Jacob than the daughter she still had . She was worried about her brother as well but at least did something to find him but her mother was just shouting why was he lost . "Mh? What is that?

A flying light in the sky was slowly approaching to their house . Y/n knew what it was and smiled . She took out her wand and pointed at her mother with it . " I'm sorry but I gotta go mum .

"What are you..." She tried to stop her but it was useless , she couldn't move anymore .

"Sorry ." She got some important things for her and went out . There was the car and Bill and Charlie with their father . " Guys , what are you both doing here ?

"Well , we thought you could use some help getting out of here ." Answered Charlie as Bill took Y/n's suitcase . " We should be going , our mother is waiting for us .

"You are the best ." She followed her friend insisde the car and saw Arthur Weasley . " It is nice to meet you finally , Mr Weasley .

" The pleasure is mine , Charlie and Bill talk a lot about you .

She looked at them with a smile , she was going to tease them about that , that was for sure .

Finally they arrived to the Burrow , Molly waited there with an incredible dinner at the table . They opened the door and Arthur went to see his wife . Charlie was carrying her suitcase while she tried to do it her own self .

"Just let him do it , Y/n ." Said Bill with a smirk on his handsome face . " You are a guest .

"Yes , I know that but ..." Charlie easily carried it with a kind smile , he went up to left it somewhere , she didn't know where . " You really didn't have to , Charlie . " Said when he was at her side once again .

"As Bill said , you are our guest ." She wished to help at least a little and Charlie knew but he knew his mother as well . Molly woudn't let a guest help in her house , it was rather difficult . She was about to say something but was interrumpted by a woman who had the same ginger hair as Charlie and Bill . It was really a ginger haired family . The woman had a big and kind smile on her face as she approached Y/n . She hugged her to the surprise of the young girl .

"You must be Y/n ." She was sure a kind woman letting a friend of her children to stay for a few weeks . " I've heard so much about you , about your family .

Suddenly the woman didn't seem that much happy at the mention of her family . She looked at Charlie , saw his worried face and smiled once again . " I'm sorry dear , is just that I am not really fond of your family .

"Oh ." She smiled a little and didn't care that much about that . " Don't worry , I am not really fond of them myself .

Molly smiled as she saw sadness on the girl's eyes . That was the moment when she decided that Y/n was going to be there all the time she wanted . " You can stay here all the time you want , dear .

"Ah , thank you so much Mrs. Weasley , it means so much for me ." She was honest , Bill and Charlie couldn't believe it . She did it . Their mother let her stay all the time she wanted even thought she was a L/n , a family who their mother hated .

"Call me Molly ." She said . " You have taken care of Charlie and Bill so now I will take care of you , It is the least I can do .

A true smile made its way to her lips as she denied with her head . " That is not true at all , they were the ones who took care of me .

"So you are Charlie's girlfriend ." George said and looked at his twin .

"The one he won't stop talking about ." Charlie started blushing as the twins kept going .

" I am not his girlfriend ." She said , blushing as well .

" Her future girlfriend probably . " Interrupted Bill while laughing . He loved teasing those two when it came to their love that was stuck because neither of them was brave enough to say how much they loved each other .

"Bill!" She cried out . " Stop teasing us .

Suddenly she heard something and then a little girl was in the floor crying . It was Ginny , the youngest . Before any of her older brother could go to help her the guest of the house went to see if she was okay . " Oh no , are you okay?

Her knees were bleeding , nothing that she couldn't handle after helping Madam Pomfrey so many times . She cured her wounds and then smiled at Ginny who was no longer crying . " Better now? " The girl nodded , she was shy and wasn't really happy about some stranger seing her cry . " You must be Ginny , you are just as pretty as your big brothers have told me . " The little girl blushed a bit while looking at the floor . " I am Y/n , Charlie and Bill's friend . It is a pleasure to meet you .

The other just watched and didn't want to interrumpt . " It is nice to meet you ." Whispered the little one and gave her a hug just as her mother used to do . After that she went to Charlie and waited for a piggyback ride .

"It that the Y/n you like? " Said her whishpering at his ears .

"Yes ." Answered , no one else but Ginny hearing him .

"She is pretty and kind ." Charlie laughed , it was her way of saying that she liked her as well .

"Now there's only Percy and Ron left ." Ginny told her brother to let her down and she went to Y/n . She waited for her to pick her up and when she was finally in her arms pointed the stairs . " You will show her the way to Ron and Percy while we help mom , Ginny ? " The second son smiled and let both girls to go .

" By the time she comes back from meeting those two she will probably know that you like her ." Bill was right , after all the twins went after them and Ron wasn't really good at keeping secrets .

She met Ron and he liked her rather quickly .

"Only Percy left ." Said Ginny still in her arms . George and Fred were still after them and now was Ron too .

"Why is Charlie a Gryffindor? " Asked Fred while laughing .

" Good question , if he is , he should have asked her out by n...

"Shhhhh!" Ginny looked at them angry . " Go away ." She was way to busy protecting his big brother to notice that they were finally with Percy .

" Then you are not here as Charlie's girlfriend?

"No?"She smiled confused .

"Ah!"Ginny tried to stop Percy but it was too late .

"Thought he would have asked you out by now ."

"What?"

She was a blushing mess that moment and Ginny went to find Charlie quickly but instead found Bill who went upstairs to get Y/n . They went to Bill's room .

"You OK , mate? " Never had he seen her like that and as probably future brother in law he wanted to help her .

"What Percy said means that Charlie ..." She hid her face in her hands . "Charlie likes me .

" You didn't know? " He laughed when someone came in his bedroom . " Oh , Charlie .

They both looked into each other's eyed and immediatly blushed . Bill got up of the bed and went out the room . " I am not letting you out until you both become a couple ."

He closed the room's door and stayed out .

"So you like me ." She was the first one to talk barely smiling . " Ohmygod ." She was blushing once again . " I cannot believe it , it's just ... how I ...

"It's true ." Finally he said something and sat at her side . " I kind of have a crush on you .

"I see ." Her heart was about to get out of her chest when she felt a hand on her shoulder . It was his way of telling her thay everything was okay .

" I understand if you don't like me back , tho .

At the other side of the door Bill was about to explode in anger for his brother behaviour .

"What? Are you stupid? " She looked at him competely confused . " I have been all the year sending hints to you , Charles Weasley .

" W-what? " He asked like an idiot ." For real?

"Of course ." She hugged him tight . " I coudn't be more happy . When I saw Bill and you coming to rescue me I knew this was gonna be an amazing summer .

" You like me ." He was still processing the information and hugged her back . " Does that mean that we are a couple now?

"Well , if you want to get out this room someday , yes . " They looked into each other eyes and started getting closer . " Then?

" Yes ... " They kissed finally and Bill opened the door in that moment .

" Thank godness that Percy doesn't know how to shut up . " Bill was thankful that his year of frustration was over at last .

" Wait , Percy told you? Not Fred , George or Ron ? "

" Ginny did a really good job keeping them quiet . " Bill went downstairs leaving them alone . " I... Io l-l ... I can't say it , I'm sorry .

"I love you ."Said him instead of her .

"Do you feel like a Gryffindor now?

"Maybe ." He thought for a moment and smiled . " I love you more than I love dragons .

" Woah , you really are a Gryffindor . " They laughed and she blushed . " Well , I love you so much that I could stop looking the Haunted Vault for you . Wait no , forget that , that would mean forgetting my brother .

" This is not romantic at all .

"You were the one to say Dragons first .

"To say I love you more than I love them ." He complained . " It is romantic .

" Well , if I didn't love your rants about dragons then I couldn't love you .

"That's rude .

"It is true , Dragon boy . " She smiled . " Look at our letters , almost all of them are about dragons or quidditch .

"I knew it!" Said Bill suddenly .

"Shut up , Bill!

The end

Srry for my mistakes , English is not my first language .

Chapter 1

' Hey , Steffy . Come ,let's go for a coffee' said Hope.

'Just call me MJ, Mikealson. I hate my name' replied Stefanie frustratingly.

' Okay then I will call you Miranda Jenna as you wish to be called but Stefanie is a great name like Twilight writer's name ' Hope said while they entered the Grill.

They sat down on the nearest table. Stefanie groaned . She didn't like her name at all. Her name was Stefanie Miranda Jenna Salvatore or Stefanie MJ Salvatore that she preferred. She was named after her Martyr uncle who she never knew . She knew she had to respect the person she was named after but as she had read his uncle's diaries and heard his father's loving stories about his brother , she didn't feel great about his uncle. But what she could do now . She couldn't change her name . She sighed and thought if he was alive maybe things would have been different. Aunt Care would have been really happy though she didn't know about Aunt bon bon maybe because of Enzo. Stefan killed Enzo in cold blood when Enzo decided to become human for Aunt Bon Bon. She gave Stefan the cure of vampirism which was meant for Enzo though. When Stefan became human ,he felt a surge of guilt . He sacrificed himself for her mom and dad as if giving them his blessings for which she was quite grateful. So much thay she wished she could change things if she could go back to time when all the problems started because she knew beforehand what was going to happen and prevent some of them from happening. She was lost in thought again when Hope started calling her again .

' Salvatore, back to earth. Jeez I didn't know you would get so tensed about the nickname . What were you thinking,' she said , sipping her coffee.

Stefanie looked at her and said ,' I wish I could change things. I have been to my dad's memories. If you are going to ask how, Josie helped me see them last time when Saltzmans came the other night. Dad will kill me if he got to know about that. There are so many things I have been thinking , the things I wish I could take part in . I could prevent uncle Stefan from dying. I could have saved Enzo .I wish I had a time machine or something like that so I could get to know my "Hero hair' uncle or that Tyler Lockwoof guy.'

She drank her milkshake with a loud slurp. She stopped her train of thoughts and looked at Hope. She looked lost. Great. Stefanie coughed loudly which made Hope stir

'Now when I stop thinking, you head on a train of your own. Now tell me what are you thinking' Stefanie said concerned.

Hope was her best friend besides Josie and Lizzie. She was one of the most powerful witches of this time. She could write her own spells , could perform magic without the help of the dead witches or any other source.She was a tribrid which meant that she could change herself into a werewolf by will. Lyconthropy didn't affect her magic doing abilities.As she was an Original Tribrid , her blood was The Cure to a werewolf bite like her father. Stefanie first met her in Salvatore School for young and gifted. She turned into a vampire last year when she died in an accident. She had vampire blood in her system when she badly injured herself .MG gave it to her after ahe couldn't take any pain. She healed but later while going back home , her car took a turn and she died. She woke up as a vampire in transition. That is when Hope and Mr Saltzman came to help her. He informed her parents and took her to school and helped her complete transition. She thought her parents would hate her but they didn't .They were a little sad about her death but they loved her even though she became a vampire. They were comfortable with it . Damon offered to give her The Cure but she refused. She liked the idea of being a vamp kid .As she had all these powers, she never misused them but sometimes just to sneak out or for some illegal drinks , she happily used compulsion. On that note , Damon also gave her Stefan's daylight ring. Ugh , she thought . Another reminder of her Hero Hair uncle. But she wore it and went to study in Salvatore School for Young and Gifted. She liked Hope as she helped in her craving issues amd helped her out with her abilities. She was a Mikealson but Stefanie didn't give much of a thought .Hope was tough but later on gave her an in when she practically saved her life from a witch hunter .She helped Hope befriend Josie and Lizzie and clear her misunderstanding with both of them . Now they hung out in school. But Hope was close to Stefanie the most. They considered each other as sisters. They shared things, did crazy stuff together which no one expected Hope to do as she seemed more guarded and calm type girl. They were great which each other , respected each other's opinion, shared problems with each other and understood each other very well. Because of their friendship, Mr Saltzman was happy as Hope remained silent and usually talked to no one . Making friends was real distant topic for her . Here she was making friends . That relieved him. On the hand, Damon and Elena were concerned as Hope was Klaus's daughter but they saw that she was nothing like her father and accepted her . She dropped time to time to meet Damon and Elena.

Hope looked at Stefanie . A thin smile formed .' Well I don't know about time machine but I know a spell through which we can go back in time , and we can change some things . You can spend some time with your uncle and I can spend with mine . It has been so long when I saw him. I miss him. We can go and come back. Also we look in future about what would the consequences . What do you think about it?' Hope asked.

Stefanie blinked twice . What!??. She thought. Maybe going back in time can fix things . She felt excited about how dad , mom and others will look like . She can save them .

' Yes!!! Let's do that Hope. We can change things. You are love. Tell me about when can we start?' she said literally jumping.

Hope smiled and said ' We can start one hour later. You can pack some stuff on your own. Maybe get blood bags and the stuff you will need. Okay?'

' I am going to pack fast. I will meet you in your room. Let's go then' she said excited

Finally, she has a chance to change things. She felt happy and excited to meet the person she was named after .

They reached the school and parted their ways to go to their dorm rooms. Stefanie packed pictures , some blood bags , vervain in case they needed it , diaries of her mom and her clothes. She reached Hope's room and saw that Hope was done packing and was preparing for the spell. She looked up as Stefanie entered. She was making a circle from salt. She stood up and started talking.

' I wrote this spell myself long ago so it is safe to use . It stops the present time in which we are, so when we come back from the past , this time will be the same. Just like going through the door and coming back like in Narnia movies. The people we are going to meet will remember us as we go back. This spell figures out where we will be needed and things to make right . We will come back in time when things get right. So this is the thing. Now , ready?' she asked.

' Yeah , Mikelson. Let's get done with it ' said Stefanie as she clapped her hands. They sat down in the circle. She held Hope's hand as she closed her eyes. She closed her eyes as she started with the spell . Candles in the room caught on fire and incense started burning. Salt boundary started to dissolve itself and turned into a light boundary. Hope signalled Stefanie to get up and caught her hand and spelled something and started walking towards the light. Everything became white for a second.

Both of them opened their eyes. It was time around sunrise. It was definitely Mystic Falls. They let go each other's hands confused. They looked around. They were on Wickery bridge on which her maternal grandparents died . The bridge her mother died. They started walking forward and saw someone . They stopped. It was a brunette talking to a raven haired man . She couldn't hear a word . She focused on what they were saying as the sun started rising . She could hear just one word .

'Damon' the girl said as sun rays hit girl's body and it started burning. It was her Dad and Mom!!!! Damon looked at Elena and lunged her and himself in the water. They were finally back in time. They were in year 2012. Time when her parents were vampires. Time when Hope's dad was her parents enemy. Time when Elena was dating Stefan.They were back in time to make things right.

What's your favorite snack? I love anything deep-fried, honestly. Corndogs, mozzarella sticks, onion rings...I could eat platters of those. Pigs-in-a-blanket is an easy dish to make so I admittedly eat those a lot. What's your favorite ethnic food? Indian, Indonesian, and Thai. I have yet to try Ethiopian and Middle Eastern cuisine (other than shawarma) but I bet they’re just as bomb. I like banh mi and spring rolls, but that’s all I like from Vietnamese cuisine. What country would you like to visit most? Right now, Thailand! It’s got so much culture and spirit and history (and food) and I don’t know why I still haven’t gone there so far. Soon :) What color hair does your mom have? It’s been black for a while, but back in her old positions she had had to have blondish highlights or something. I thought it made her look cool. When did you last go to a theater to see a movie? Gabie and I watched Portrait of a Lady on Fire last Monday. If I didn’t read the synopsis before watching, I probably would have cried as hard as she did.

What is the last movie you watched? ^ Well, that. It was a movie first screened at Cannes, and then it has a limited release here for a month as part of a local film festival. What's the last thing you cooked? LMAO I don’t cook. I last microwaved leftover bangus from last night though. Whose birthday is closest to today's date? (someone you know) Gab’s little sister’s birthday is today...but other than that, idk probably Ara? It was her birthday last Monday or Tuesday. What's your favorite number? I don’t have favorites but 4 is always my go-to. Have you ever been in love? Sure. Do you believe in ghosts? They’re fun to believe in but at the end of the day I still like being critical about what they call ~alleged sightings~ Have you ever been to a haunted house? Nope. I’ve stayed across one, but I didn’t go in. Is your house haunted? I’m sure it isn’t, because we only had it built a decade ago. There’s been a few times my dad’s car started on its own though, so that was weird. What's your favorite chocolate bar? It’s not a bar because it’s round-shaped, but I’ll always love Reese’s. What kind of tissues do you prefer? The thicker kind, I guess. What color hair did you have when you were in 9th grade? Black.

Do you have a cat? My sister does. But she lives in a dorm so my mom and I are in charge of caring for her while she’s gone. Do you know anyone in another country? I used to be friends with a lot of wrestling fans in Europe and the US. I knew people from Philadelphia, California, Florida, Maine, New York, Scotland, London, Ireland, UK, etc but there’s probably more places I’ve left out. I have family living all over America too. How old are you? I am 21. How many US states have you been to? I have been to a grand total of zero. How many Australian states have you been to? Also zero. Have you ever been to the Great Lakes Mall? Nope. What face wash do you use? Water. Do you have long or short hair? It’s so long now, I hate it. I’m gonna chop everything off really soon. What's your favorite book? I don’t really have any. Do you drink more water or pop? Water. I don’t drink ‘pop.’ What's your favorite flavor of kool-aid? I don’t drink any Kool-Aid either. Do you watch Survivor Man? Nope. Have you ever wanted to be on a game show? Sure, when I was a kid. It would get frustrating if it’s a trivia show and I know the answer to a question, but I see them struggling or picking the wrong answer lmao. Do you know who Ben Bailey is? Nope. What's your myspace URL? Lol Do you eat organic food? Very rarely. There’s a vegan food stall in school and I get to eat organic stuff there, but I go there probably like once every six months only. Are you an insomniac? Nope, I sleep soundly these days. Do you provoke people? I hope I don’t lmao Do you watch wrestling? :D :D :D Do you wear glasses? Yep, I’m wearing them right now.

Side note: Some girl stepped on my glasses (I set them on the floor earlier for PE, because they tend to fall off when I do my workouts) and they kinda bent a little bit :( I was able to fix it back and the girl was super apologetic though, so it’s all good in the hood. How many candles were on your last birthday cake? I didn’t blow any, but there would have been 21. What kind of music do you listen to? Punk, pop, top 40, jazz, rock, pop rock, hip hop, and whatever genre Joji is. Do you wear matching socks? Yeah, I get very uncomfortable when I wear different individual socks. How many pairs of jeans do you have? Like 10-15 maybe. Idk though, I don’t wear a bunch of them. Where will you go tomorrow? I’m staying home and I can’t wait. Do you make fun of people you don't know? If they’re arrogant shits who did something stupid, then yes. Do you reject Satan? Wow idk how to answer this question lmao Are you violent? After moving out from my violent childhood home, I gradually phased out the violence. But yes, I used to be. It was all I ever saw. Do you like ginger ale? No, I’ve never tried it. It sounds nasty though. Do you eat fast food a lot? Not a lot, but enough for it to be unhealthy for me. Have you ever gotten in a fist-fight? Nah. Did you play pokemans as a kid? POKEMANS LMAO Do you believe taking a picture of someone is taking a piece of their soul? No. Would you rather be hot or cold? Cold. Do you use wikipedia? Sure. It was one of the first websites I ever used since discovering the Internet. Do you spend a lot of time on YouTube? Yessssss I love YouTube. There’s always something for someone to watch, and for me it’s ASMR mukbang videos and Mario Kart 8 playthroughs. Do you use google search or yahoo? Google. I haven’t used Yahoo in a hot minute. Have you ever been locked up? No. Was your step mother terrible? I don’t have one. Can you eat in the dark? No. I could try, but I’d just be bugged because I wouldn’t want to get messy. Do you know anyone who doesn't care about anything but themselves? Sure. Are you mean to people you don't know? No, unless they were mean to me first. Are you trustworthy? Sure. Have you ever been hospitalized? Just once.
