Earth-138 (Spider-Punk) concept art for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse by Patrick O'Keefe
"It needed to feel like something that was wheat pasted on the wall of an illegal after hours punk venue. His world pays homage to the punk posters of The Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks, My chemical Romance." - Patrick O'Keefe on Twitter

since i like to project onto people (and because I just saw the barbie movie and it was fantastic)--
spider-kids doll collecting headcanons post time (brands, do they play with them, and other stuff)
miles: bratz and barbie collector, but likes Bratz the best. probably also has a dreamhouse that his dolls all live in. does actually play with his dolls sometimes and makes up insane/unhinged stories to cope with being spiderman. Just to distract. stand-in for Dok Ock (redressed Girlz Really Rock Cloe) gets her shit clocked a LOTTTTTTTTT by Tokyo a Go Go Sasha. He's sort of interested in doll repainting, but worries a bit abt wrecking the doll permanently. Esp with his Bratz collection, he almost had to sell a kidney for TAGG Sasha. He's been practicing with the cheap ten dollar Barbies you can buy in Wal-Mart, but he still feels kinda bad. Ganke keeps good watch over his school collection when he has to go be Spider-Man tho. They have an Understanding- Miles watches the Funko Pops when Ganke is at coding conventions, and Ganke watches the dawls when Miles has to fight Green Goblin.
gwen: barbie and monster high collector. just starting out so the collection's not really that big. however, she has all the movies torrented on her computer and watches them when she can't fall asleep. DEFINETELY plays with her dolls too, like has an entire running soap opera going with them that's getting more and more complicated-- toralei is beach ken's bastard daughter that is trying to find the gold that creepover draculaura hid with the help of I Can Be A Mars Explorer barbie, and it only gets weirder from there. Her dad is baffled and confused by it, but she doesn't actually mind (in fact it might be the point). also, a little while after she restarted active collecting, miles gets a text at two am apologizing profusely for opening that collectible because her dad came in to clean her room and took Sweet 1600 Draculaura out of the box "as a treat" and THE TIES AREN'T GOING BACK IN
hobie: refuses to participate in the toxic consumerist nature that this hobby promotes while toy companies dump toxins into the air and kill our crops, while working in tandem with the horrifically abusive beauty industry to promote disgustingly unhealthy body standards to AFAB individuals. does hit the locally owned thrift store on occasion. does sleep with what he has all piled in his sleeping bag like a lil burrito. does carry his favorite around with him in his guitar case. as a little treat. doesn't discriminate with brands, his current favorite is a knockoff of monster high that nobody but him treasures. He jumpscares Miguel with her half zombie-fied face every five seconds and has her play peek-a-boo with Mayday. Peter B finds it funny, Miguel does not lol
pavitr: collects exclusively old and really obscure lines that nobody has ever heard of. Like he can give you a minute description of a random brand that you've never even heard of that lasted for like five minutes in the nineties before flaming out into the discount stores and then pull out their nib AND oob versions. all while saying "oh yeah, im not really into collecting that stuff. it takes up so much space, bro." He's still searching for one but pretends he isn't. also plays with them, along with Gayatri, and their stories are just the cutest sweetest things ever. like they're still batshit insane, don't get me wrong, the climaxes are always massive dance offs that involve the whole collection. but it always ends with their two dolls (Mystikats Azra for Gayatri and Tattoo Divas Shary for Pav) riding off into the sunset on one of the Struts dolls.
miles g (oh yeah that's right you though he'd be getting out of this): also bratz and barbie, and also likes Bratz the best. Since he has (some) Prowler Bux money's (mostly) not an issue. (Please don't ask him abt the noises he made when the Felicia repro was confirmed). He also has a Dreamhouse where they live, however it's shoved into his closet and if you ask him abt it, he will deny it. His stories are even more unhinged and insane then Miles, and usually involve running away from cops (redressed Wild Life Safari Cloe) who are trying to interfere with the hero's (the new pretty n punk sasha's) vigilante business. Which is why Hobie likes to join him a lot. Also into doll repainting, but actually even less confident then Miles-- he can do an amazing Bratz lip but the eyes? Forget it. And rn they're too expensive to buy en masse, so..... hooray :)
(none of them, except for hobie, let mayday play with their dolls. hobie does it because he can fix their hair later and also he doesn't believe in property. the others are too spooked. except for maybe miles, he gives her the barbies he's transformed into Weird Barbies. Peter B finds it so cute he could scream, and Miguel agrees. He never SHOWS it but he agrees.)
TL;DR: they are all very autistic and like to play with their dollies, the end.

When you get the chance do you think you could write a Miguel x chubbyF!reader ?
(It's my first time requesting and I wanted to try and give like an idea of it)
Miguel saw the reader in the library and she caught his eye and he went on about what he was doing until he grabbed the same book as her and it just happened to be both of their favorite books and they ended up talking about it and maybe going to a coffee shop after?
The Very Grumpy Spider
Miguel x Chubby/Curvy!Fem!Reader
TW/CW: None
Taglist: @tojishugetiddies
Tumblr media
🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
Miguel was hiding away from the world in the most unlikely of places. It wasn't his home, or his darkened office at HQ, or the labs at Alchemax.
No, it was the library. It hardly had any foot traffic, and the libraries of the world were quickly becoming obsolete with their actual paper books in favor of all the digital files you could simply download online these days.
Which is why it was perfect for him to hide in.
It was quiet, almost no people, and his favorite reading nook had the comfiest chairs. Hell, sometimes he'd sit in the bean bag chairs and nod off a bit.
Today he was browsing the shelves labeled "Classics -- Science Fiction".
His large fingers drummed on the spines of each book as he weighed the decision of which one to read, his glasses perched low on his nose. It seemed silly, that someone who has superpowers would like something as simple as science fiction, but these books were a big escape from the abuse he and his little brother were witness (and in many cases victim) to.
It was also the library he'd run off to back then, too.
It was a sanctuary, a sweet, private Sanctuary.
Miguel was so warped in his thoughts that he didn't notice somebody was now standing right next to him.
Not until a small hand reached out and they both touched the spine of the same book.
An omnibus of sorts containing all the stories of a series called "Dinotopia" by an author named James Gurney, a little over a hundred or so years ago. Miguel as a child had silly fantasies of finding such a place and now the stories were a source of great comfort when the stress of his life became a bit too hard.
"Oh! Sorry!" You say, awkwardly snatching your hand back. "I... Er. Didn't know that anybody else liked... uh, nevermind."
You were... cute. Not obnoxiously made-up like many of the women he's met; you were very minimal makeup and he could even see a few blemishes here and there.
Your body was not rail thin--again, like most women he's known--you were soft, your clothes hugged your body in a way that showed that you had little rolls that spilled over the top of your jeans, your legs and arms a bit on the thicker side, and your round little face definitely set you apart.
And Miguel found himself quickly liking the sight.
He lowered his hand and shook his head with a soft chuckle, "Ah, no, it's alright. I'm surprised anybody even knows these books exist."
You smiled sheepishly up at him, dimples in your soft cheeks as you did. "Yeah... My grandpa used to read these to me when I was little. It's hard to find them nowadays and the copies I had got ruined when my apartment flooded..."
"I used to read them as a kid, myself." Miguel smiled at you as he plucked the book off the shelf, looking at the illustrated cover; protected by a dust jacket but the cover was faded with time, the pages slightly yellowed.
"They were a nice escape."
"Oh! Yeah... They--they are." You say as you watched him turn the book over in his massive hands. Hell, they were so goddamn big that the thick volume looked like a tiny booklet. And oh, did you try to ignore how strong they looked.
Miguel sighed and held the book out to you, "Here. Far be it from me to keep someone from reading a favorite, huh?"
You held your hands up, waving then a bit. "Oh! No, no, um... It's okay. You can read it."
You both stood there, blinking at each other in an awkward silence.
Until you both broke out into soft laughter and Miguel lowered his hand that still clutched the book.
"...We're just going to go back and forth about this, aren't we?" He asked.
"... Probably." You giggled, rubbing the back of your neck.
There was another pause, until you decided to break it.
"Um... well. We can... Talk about it?"
When he tilted his head at you with raised eyes you felt yourself flush. "I--! Well, I just mean that, um... Er. It's unusual to find anybody that knows about that series because it's so old, so, I mean..."
He laughed again, and god, did it sound wonderful as it tumbled out of his lips. He fixed his dark eyes on you and smiled. "Sure. I don't have anywhere to be for the rest of the day."
You swore you could see that his eyes glimmered a different color as he spoke, and your heart slipped a beat.
🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
You and Miguel chatted for what must have been close to three hours. You'd even gotten so close as to read the book together; or, well, a few of the stories in it here and there.
You guys had sat so close you could smell his cologne and aftershave.
Meanwhile Miguel could smell your sweet, cherry-like perfume. Hell, he could even smell your lip balm (it had notes of honey) thanks to his super senses.
He loved watching you move, he would often take his eyes from the pages to scan your form, looking at how soft and plush you were. He had the most intrusive thoughts about laying his head in your lap and just letting you run your fingers through his hair as you read the book aloud to him.
Oh, your thighs looked like perfect napping pillows...
He was gorgeous, and he found you absolutely beautiful. You were cute, funny, and quirky, whereas you found him intelligent, witty and kind when he spoke to you.
Something beeped on Miguel's watch and when he looked at it, he grunted. Lyla was asking him when he was going to just ask you out, because apparently she'd been eavesdropping covertly through his watch.
Yeah, it had been hours.
"Is that, um... A call you need to take?" You ask hesitantly.
"No, it's just my assistant checking on me." He turned it off and lowered his wrist, smiling again at you, and he felt something gnaw in his stomach when he saw your hopeful expression.
Fuck it.
"Hey... Would you like to get a coffee?" He finally asked you directly.
And oh, the little error-code face you made was just precious.
"Oh!" You shake your head softly, and smile up at him again. "Sure! I--I mean that is I'm okay with with that, and... uh."
Miguel stood, the book once again in his palm and he extended his hand to you politely to help you out of your seat.
Witty and chivalrous. It made you positively weak in the knees!
"But, um... are you sure?" You ask, following him to the check out counter.
He smiled at you over his shoulder, waving the book.
"Of course. After all, how else are we supposed to finish reading this together?"

Reader dating Miguel and he gets shy about something and she think it’s so cute and gushes at him in front of the spiders lol
AWWWWWWW jealous and grumpy miggy are cute as fuck, but SHY MIGGY ... IS A WHOLE NOTHER BREED that i want to breed
shy miguel o'hara and you (part 1)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
having dated miguel for a long while now, you know exactly how to get on his nerves, but in a good way. you love teasing him because it comes so naturally and easily to you that you just do it; you don't have to think about it, you're just able to, and that's why you like teasing miguel and making him all flustered and shy in front of the new recruits or people at HQ who fear him. you always insist that miguel isn't as scary as he seems... and the proof is in the pudding–the pudding being served by you as you go off to talk to miguel after you discovered that a few spider people you met actually were scared of him.
you wanted to show these spiders just how adorable miguel can be when you tease him just right, and you wanted to bring out the cutest, sweetest side of him out which you know you could do. "miggy..." you cooed to him as the spiders gasped and moved away at you acting all sweet with him, not knowing he had a soft spot for you. miguel looked over at you and hummed in reply. "yes?" "what would happen if i, oh, i don't know–got down on one knee right now and... asked you to be mine for... forever?" you asked him as you placed both of your soft, tinier hands on his broad, built shoulders that tensed up in surprise at your hypothetical scenario.
miguel's eyes got all wide and his lips parted in response–he stuttered out his attempts at a reply, but he kept failing and just appeared even more flustered and shy at your hypothetical. "w-well... what if i... what if i said yes?" he asked you in a hushed voice in reply, to which you laughed and reminded miguel not to answer a question with a question, making him grumble and get more bashful. the spiders watched in awe at how you handled and teased miguel, it made them think that miguel having emotions and being capable of being vulnerable was all a big maybe–but now that they've seen it in person, they're already in love with the two of you acting like sweethearts towards each other and were... kinda wishing you two did propose to each other right then and there.

the spidersociety HQ has a gym, therapist office and cafeteria, which makes me wonder if they have other things that the spiderpeople could use? is there a library or a tutoring center for younger spideys? or like a parkour/skatepark area? are there "how to manage spider-being and work" classes? or maybe there's cooking classes for the spiderpeople to learn how to make meal plans for the week. there's probably sewing classes too, maybe the biology-knowing spiderpeople host classes on making your own web-shooters and the spiderpeople with organic web-shooters talk shit about the class. spiderpeople teaching "how to wear your mask without ruining your locs" classes, or classes on maintaining your bodily health, not pushing yourself too much. grief workshops. spiderpeople mentoring little spideys. SPIDER DAYCARE-

Fem!Sole and Deacon Best Friends Headcanons
deacon immediately hopped right on board when Sole first walked into the Railroad HQ
he’d been watching and to be honest, he just liked her
she was exactly like him in so many ways, he didn’t even know it was possible
they clicked like puzzle pieces
they do every mission together
desdemona even started telling them incorrect time frames for missions because she knows they’re going to take 3x longer from laughing the whole walk
supreme sniper rifle / shotgun duo
seriously, she will charge and shoot for the face, and the whole time sniper rounds are flying over her shoulders from the shadows
sole often knows when he’s lying and she’ll add things to it like “oh yeah I remember that, it was right before I killed elder maxson and taped him to the moon” or “yeah, I was there. you were totally hot when you were younger, by the way”
it doesn’t take very long for deacon to get strangely comfortable around her
they like to go to diamond city and walk right past people and say bizarre things with straight faces just for the stranger’s reactions
“yeah, my dads decapitation went well, he just doesn’t know what kind of head he wants yet: deathclaw or yao gui”
”no, no, no, you don’t put a leash on a feral to walk it, you have to use a muzzle! like for a bad dog! you should know this by now!”
they have taken on so many different identities for missions that they basically don’t know who they are anymore
they slowly become more and more of why the other looks forward to the day ahead
once deacon did a prank on sole to make them think he was dying, and it worked so well that sole became a gigantic mess and it really shocked him to know that she cared that much
they quote shakespeare and old literature together and suddenly everyone in the room thinks they’re distinguished and cultured but really they’d only seen it once in the library
they have a particular fondness for quoting hamlet when desdemona asks them to do something for her
they end up bonding over their dead spouses
deacon gets really antsy when sole goes anywhere without him
their sleep schedules are so messed up that they will spontaneously disappear and other people in the settlement will find them clonked out somewhere
they become two peas in a pod
the peanut butter to the others jelly
the spider to their web
and they would literally die for one another, and even though deacon is closed off when it comes to his past, sole gets to know all of it because they deserve jt
(oh yeah, and he totally falls for them)

Spidersona Part 3
Background and some canon events
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Michelle
Spider-Woman
Spider-Beam
Part 1
Part 2
Michelle's biggest divergence is her family which includes her parents and siblings. This is one reason why she's paired with May Parker as her mentor, because May has parents and a sibling too. Except Michelle's family doesn't know about her being Spider-woman, even though she has a good relationship with them. They worry about her living so far, she sees it as protecting them.
Despite the secrecy, she's very emotionally well adjusted being Spider-woman and its demands on her life. Being able to share the workload with Jessica and Cindy and have reliable allies is the main contributor to her work life balance. 
Tumblr media
Michelle has experienced a few canon events, other than being bitten. She has fewer canon events than most spiders because of Jessica and Cindy, her move from her family, and extreme separation of her spider and regular life.
The three Spider-women experienced various spider canon events, as if they split it among themselves.
Michelle has experienced a Captain Stacy event.
Being Spider-woman has also worked out well for Michelle because her husband KNOWS she's spider woman. 
Tumblr media
Patrick has been a part of Michelle's life from a young age. After an eternity of will-they or won't-they, they finally became a couple and were eventually married. She told him her identity after he proposed, not wanting it to be an issue in their marriage. While surprised, he takes the news well. He supports her however he can, mostly by moving to New York for her.
They were only able to get together during a time when she experienced a major canon event: she lost her spider powers. After two years of being Spider woman, a significant fight with Electro resulted in power loss when she tried to fight alone. He caught her and tried to stop her heart with multiple electricity strikes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She barely manages to get away.
"It felt like I was being ripped apart," she whispers to Jessica while shaking. 
Michelle looks at her trembling hands, "I-I can't make it stop."
Jessica takes Michelle's hands between her own, "imagine holding yourself together. We'll be here until you're able."
In the morning, her spider abilities are gone.
At first, she tried working with Doctor Strange and the spider women to regain her powers.
When nothing worked, she scheduled a long return visit to California to be close with her family. Feeling lost, she reached out to childhood friends in order to regain something normal in her life.
Michelle and Patrick started dating after a month, but she regained her powers soon after. She returned to New York and they started dating long distance, which helped keep her spider woman life a secret.
Patrick moves in after the wedding. It's a relief to have someone she can completely be herself with.
Once the spider society recruited her, she left the library and worked at HQ full time. She felt that her universe was protected and in capable hands.
Her explanation to family and friends is that she's working for an organization that requires complete discretion/secrecy. Most people think she works for a government agency.
Her main condition for joining the society was to keep Patrick updated if something happened to her and bring him with her if she moved on site. She refused to keep this a secret from him. Patrick still works a regular job to keep up appearances for their lifestyle. 
Michelle knows she would have the most impact helping younger spiders. After probation, she specialized in helping/mentoring spiders with children who were already developing spider powers like Peter B's Mayday, and spiders younger than 13.
To be continued!

Kiyomi and Misa both dump Light and start dating each other instead
Forgive me for my 2000's terminology, I've never worked out what the 2020's updated term for this is - but make sexist Obha upset and genderbend some of his competent male characters into equally competant female characters!
Light decides to tackle Naomi like he'd thought about when he's trying to get her name from her. Let her kick his arse
Wedy teaches Matsuda how to fall off a balcony in style
Transfem Light: Realising why he's uninterested in women after he's won them. *He* doesn't want to be with a beautiful woman, *she* wants to be one of them. I'd love to see this set in the Successor arc with Light already a police officer. Perhaps she only realises after her father dies and the pressure of being a Perfect Son for him is finally lifted?
Don't be a coward, give me an L/Soichiro story. Perhaps L is being too unsubtle with his flirting? Perhaps Soichiro's watching too hard as L ties cherry-stems with his tongue?
Make sexist Light mad: imagine the entrance exam arc with female/femme-presenting L
Roleswap: As Misa holds Sakura TV hostage, Sachiko realises her sick husband will try to stop Kira's tapes being shown. So she grabs his gun, steals a truck and heads off to get those tape back herself!

misa helps light and L with shopping for new outfits! their taste in fashion’s a little bland. misa to the rescue
same as my first fanart request- maybe some main trio shenanigans? trio as in light, L, and misa- no specifics, really, their collective dynamic is just super funny to me
girl’s night! misa and rem bonding- maybe misa trying to paint rem’s nails/shinigami claw things
i have no idea why, but i think interaction between misa and bear would be neat
pensulliwen
Kira harem! Light surrounded by his devoted admirers, not looking super thrilled about it
Misa-Misa, friend of spiders. Surprising everyone, Misa isn’t freaked out by the little critters and in fact seems fascinated by them, taking them outside barehanded. Bonus points for other characters freaking out
Misa surrounded by intrigued/admiring shinigami. Something about her, she’s like catnip to them. Maybe it’s the stench of death that follows her, maybe she’s just cute af
Misa has been in denial since Light disappeared and the entire Task Force ghosted her, but she is forced to confront reality with a visit to the Yagami family altar. Bonus points for inclusion of the surviving Yagamis
Misa somehow is granted an audience with the shinigami king, and begs to make a deal to revive Light. Gothic horror/fairytale vibes, dreamlike quality would be cool
The Deathnote has re-emerged with a new mystery owner years after Kira’s passing, and it’s… up for auction?? Misa is not pleased. AU where Misa lives and retains her memories, taking it upon herself to track down Minoru and give him a piece of her mind/kick in the shins.

Light and Misa looking hot and evil together (bonus points for: one or both them holding their death notes, Misa's eyes glowing red, and Light in a suit)
Teenage L and kid!Light
Anything matsulight
After Light's death, Ryuk thinks about how much he misses him
L and Misa go shopping (the scenario's up to you! maybe they're dating and buying presents for each other, maybe it's Light's birthday and they're buying presents for him, maybe Misa just wanted to go shopping and dragged L along with her because he's rich and she's hoping she can use his credit card, maybe they just happen to run into each other at Hot Topic)
alalcrumo
grey scale + highlights in red
flowery or plants imagery
Shinigami Light
L being a social menace
Something dramatic with lights and shadows
something spooky
Misa in neons or pastels
Shinigami Misa.
You know that devilman demon who keeps the faces of everyone they've eaten and can use their voices as well? That but Shinigami and death note users can do it too with the people they've killed
Light bonding with the whammy kids
Shinigami Misa
Someone pointing out Light's evil laugh and making fun of it
found family but everyone is slightly antagonistic against the others
Shinigami light.
shin-knee-gami
A tuxedo cat--that looks suspiciously like L--bothering other characters (bonus points if it's sitting on Light's head)
L in front of a mirror drawing those dark circles under his eyes on with a sharpie
Light and L kissing mid-fistfight
Any of the major characters drawn in the style of a tarot card the artist associates them with

Pairing:- Ethan Ramsey x Arielle Valentine
Warnings:- Swearing
Tumblr media
Arielle’s PoV:-
You wake up quite early with a throbbing head and roll out of bed, making sure not to wake up Belle and Aly. The sun hasn’t risen yet, so you assume it’s around 4. After your morning routine, you pick up Naveen’s latest test reports with a cup of tea and head over to your balcony. Going through it, you can’t find much that catches your eye. You head back inside after an hour and find the duo awake.
“Good morning...”, Belle greets you accompanied with a yawn.
“I thought you were sleeping. I’ll head straight to Flair’s HQ and get ready there with Belle. Our flight ’s at 9pm.”, Aly replies while heading towards the bathroom.
“Hey Belle, are you ready to see daddy again?”, you ask.
“Mhm, can’t wait. I'm going to tell him all about yesterday, it was so much fun.”
“Oh really? What happened yesterday?”, you ask. She launches into a story about how they went to the library and then made pizza for dinner.
“I was going to ask for dessert but I fell asleep. I woke up and saw you sleeping by me. Mommy told me that you brought me here.”, she says with a sheepish grin.
“Well I’m sure you can eat all the ice cream you want when you fly home. Tell daddy to call me, okay?”
“I will!” Aly comes out of the restroom, completely ready.
“Belle, come on. We need to get ready and so does Aunt Arielle.”
“Okay! I’ll be quick!” Aly helps Belle get ready while you decide to make lunch for you and Naveen. You head outside the room to find Jackie and Sienna entering the apartment.
“Good morning Ari! Ines and Kyra just left. I thought you were asleep so I didn’t wake you.”, Si says.
“You both have noon shifts, right? Lucky!”, you reply.
“Yeah, we’ll be nursing our headaches if you need us.”, and with that they both head inside. Opening the fridge, you grab all the ingredients needed for Naveen’s chicken wrap. You get to work, starting with grilling the chicken with a bunch of spices, meanwhile julienning some greens and veggies. After shredding the chicken, you cook the tortillas and layer the fillings, topping them off with dressing and finally wrapping them up. You’re just finished packing the wraps in a container when Aly and Belle come out of your room.
“Alright Belle, it’s time to go. Go say goodbye to everyone.” You point Belle towards Si’s room, she comes out a few minutes later, candy bar in hand.
“Look at what they gave me!”, she shouts with joy leaving both of you to chuckle. She puts the candy bar in her backpack and wraps you up in a hug, or rather your legs. “Bye!...I’ll miss you! When will you come to visit?!”, she asks as you lift her up into your arms and hug her goodbye.
“Maybe during Christmas, okay? Be safe and a good girl!”
“Tell Uncle Ethan and grandpa that I’m leaving!”, She says handing you a few York candies as you lead them to the door. “Bye Arielle, we had a nice time.”, Aly says as she hugs you.
“I did too.” You reluctantly wave them goodbye as they head towards their Über, Belle shouting one last goodbye. “Okay Arielle, time for work.”
A little while later, you’re heading to the nurses’ station after rounds when you see a small crowd near one of the OR’s. Overhearing one of the resident surgeons congratulating Bryce, you head over after the crowd disperses.
“Hey, looks like someone made a good impression!”, you say.
“There was a complication with the surgery and the general surgeon was taking too long to arrive. So I stepped up and performed the procedure, meanwhile scoring a free solo surgery.”, he replies with a smirk.
“Nice! Although I don’t think your friends are happy about that.”, you reply noticing the scowls on the other interns’ faces.
“I came here to be the best surgeon, and right now Dr. Tanaka thinks I’m one of the best.”, he replies.
You smile, “You’re right”-
“Valentine, enough chitchat. Head to the ER.” You whirl around to see Zaid with a scowl on his face.
“Yes, Dr. Mirani!” You shoot Bryce an apologetic look as you head to the ER.
As you enter the E.R. Sarah directs you to the bed of your patient. You find a young woman sitting on the bed along with a guy near her age sitting beside her with a worried expression. As you near them the boy gets up from his seat and to shake hands with you.
"Hi doctor!" He smiles as he shakes your hand enthusiastically.
"Wow, hi and hello," you smile back at both of them and then pick up her chart.
"Willow?" You read out the name.
"That's me, and this is my twin brother, Rowan," she points where the boy is standing.
"Willow and Rowan? Aren't those both-"
"Trees. Yeah. Our parents are uh...outdoorsy type-"
"You can tell the nice doctor, Rowan. She’s a total hippie."
You smile at the twins banter. "What about you too? Have you followed their footsteps?"
Willow grins, "Well I'd say we are... hippie-like."
"We like the environment and all but we also like indoor plumbing," Rowan adds.
"Sounds like a compromise I could get on board with.”, you reply chuckling. Willow laughs.
"How long have you been feeling itchy, Willow?", you ask when noticing her continuously itching her skin.
"Uh...mmm...I’m not sure?" She says nervously.
"She‘s had it for a few weeks now, I guess," Rowan answers.
Nodding, you move closerand notice the darkened spider angiomas under her skin. You take a closer and better look at her eyes to find it jaundiced.
"You haven't had it checked out?" You ask, looking for more symptoms.
"Well, I took her to Mass Kenmore the other day but-" he never gets to finish the sentence as Willow cuts him off.
"But the doctor was a jerk. My friend says the doctors here are much more nice."
Willow's voice is filled with nervousness. But you don’t consider it much thinking it's probably because of her sickness.
"Smart friends," you try to lighten the mood. "Willow, I am going to have to listen to your belly. Lie back." You help her lie down.
"Push your hand on your sides," you order and she does so. "Yeah just like this. Now I'm going to give you a little tap."
You lightly strike one side of Willow's abdomen resting your hand on the other side.
"What are you doing?" Rowan asks both confused and concerned.
"That was fluid wave test for ascites. Fluid buildup in the abdominal cavity," you answer his question.
"What did the doctors at Mass Kenmore say?" You ask after noting the symptoms. Willow and Rowan share a nervous glance.
"He, uh... didn't spend that long with me. He said it's probably the...flu," Willow stammers.
"The flu?" You ask shocked. What doctor in their right mind would diagnose a patient with these symptoms as a flu!
"Yeah? He was kinda sketchy," Rowan trails off.
"He was very sketchy. Just because my chest hurts doesn't mean you have to do the whole consultation with my boobs, right?" Willow lets out a nervous chuckle. Their behavior is suspicious but you decide not to jump to conclusions.
"Okay. What did he prescribe?", you ask.
"Just some antibiotics."
"Antibiotics? But influenza is a virus," you get more concerned now. Was he even a doctor? First he misdiagnosed a simple disease and then he prescribed antibiotics for flu!
"Uh...yeah. So dumb right. He was so...old," Willow tries to laugh it off.
"He was so old, he looked like Yoda," Rowan tries to joke.
"But a mean. A mean Yoda,"Willow adds.
"Okay, but Willow I'm afraid it's not the flu,"you say. "It's likely Hepatitis C."
"Hep C?" Willow asks, her voice tracing fear.
"It sounds scary but it's now curable in a matter of weeks," you try to comfort her.
"That umm...sounds expensive," Rowan says nervously.
"Uhm, yes, Hep C treatment is notoriously costly," you say sadly.
"How costly are we talking?" Willow asks.
"The list cost is $28,000 per month. And we are talking about three months of supply,", you answer.
"It's a lot but it's important for you to get treated," You add, "Hep C causes huge damage to your liver. It can cause total organ failure, even can lead to cancer. It can kill you."
"But how are we supposed to pay for it?" Willow's voice is sad.
"Your insurance can help. Wait a minute, let me take your information,"You say and reach for the paper to note the details down.
"Our insurance info. Uhm...we...gave it to the hospital staff when we got here. Right, Ro?" Willow trails off nervously.
"Yeah, right…" Rowan agrees.
Their behavior looks suspicious to you and suddenly it all clicks into place.
"Wait, you guys don't have insurance, do you?”, you tentatively ask.
The twins look at each other helplessly. "...No. We don't," Rowan says after a brief moment of silence.
"Usually when I’m sick, I just hope for it to go away. But this time the symptoms are getting worse," Willow states.
"Mass Kenmore wouldn't even look at Willow without insurance," Rowan adds.
"And we definitely can't afford 28 grand a month," Willow states.
"Yeah, I know. It's total bull. Believe me it makes my gut churn when I have to tell patients they can't afford what they need to survive.", you reply with anger.
"But what can we do about it?" Willow sighs.
"I am not sure…" you try to think of a way to help them.
"Please doctor. I'll do whatever I can to help Willow but I don't earn much either. Our parents don't have any savings. They don't even believe in modern medicine," Rowan says angrily.
"I told my mom I was sick and she said to sleep with an amethyst on my chest," Willow adds.
"We're already in debt from college.This bill will ruin us. Isn't there anything for me to do. Could I work it off somehow?" Rowan asks.
"It's not a restaurant, Ro. We can't do dishes or something. We'll just have to...go," Willow says sadly and gets down the bed.
"But you heard what Dr. Valentine said could happen," Rowan says concerned.
Willow get up to leave.
"Wait, don't go yet. I'll see what I can do," you stop her.
"You'll help us?" Rowan smiles hopefully.
"I can't promise anything. But I'll try," you say sincerely.
"Thank you Dr.Valentine," Willow smiles and for the first time the smile seems genuine.
You reply back with a smile,"First things first. We can't treat Hep C without knowing it's genotype. So I'll need to draw blood sample."
After admitting Willow, you’re trying to think of a way to get the vial to lab. But you know the you can't hand it over to the pathology lab without a resident's signature. And you'd need to do it without anyone asking questions. That's when you see Ines. "The just person for the work," you think and walk towards her pleading for the best. "Hi Arielle. All done in the E.R.?" she asks as you approach.
"Yeah. I was actually looking for you!" You try to smile but your nervousness gets in between.
But she doesn't really seem to notice the hesitation."At you service. What do you need?",She asks smiling. You hesitate for a moment. Weighing your options you decide on telling her the truth, even though it might have risks.
"My patient has Hep C. And I need to run a blood test for further treatment but…" You pause not sure how to say,"but they don't have any insurance."
Ines understands what you are saying and her face falls slightly.
"Oh…"she says after a moment of silence.
"I admitted her. But she can't afford to be here, let alone treatment. She wanted to leave," you state sadly.
"Then I'm afraid you'll have to let her."
"But…" you stop not knowing what to say. You thought that out of all people maybe Ines would understand and help you.
"One of the hardest thing is to learn you can't help everyone. As a doctor your responsibility is to help the people you can help." She puts a comforting hand on your shoulder before walking away. You lean against the nearest wall as a wave of disappoinment washes over you. Later, you head towards the cafeteria for a quick break and then a few more post-op check-in’s.
After checking on one of your post-op patients, you carefully sneak around the construction site and enter Naveen’s room, lunch in hand.
“Sunshine! What a lovely surprise!”
“Hi dad, I brought lunch. Belle and Aly went back to Flair. Their flight’s at 9.”
“Belle was a nice surprise yesterday. You know, I think she managed to make Ethan like her.”, he replies.
“Yeah, she told me all about how she went to the library and Uncle Ethan read her a bunch of stories.”, you say as you draw blood for another test. Filling the vial with blood, you dispose of the needle and wash your hands.
“So, what have you made for lunch?”
“Your special chicken wraps.”, you reply with a smile as you hand one to him. You both take a bite. “So? How is it? Does it resemble yours at least a little?”
“It’s quite close, but the seasoning is slightly off.”
You roll your eyes. “That’s because it’s your recipe! And no one can perfectly make your recipes!”, you exclaim.
“She’s right Naveen. Your recipes are quite tricky to master.” You turn around to find Ethan standing in the doorway.
“Dr. Ramsey. I looked over the files but I couldn’t find much. The blood sample I drew is over there, I think we should try again but maybe..”, you discuss with him about the next steps.
“Ethan. Arielle.” Both of you turn to him. “Will you let a man eat in peace?! Both of you, eat and then discuss whatever you need to.”
“Fine.” You hand a wrap to Ethan.
“Have one, I made a lot more than I can eat.” He tentatively takes one and takes a bite.
“It’s quite good.”
“Thank you. I almost forgot, Belle asked me to tell you that she was leaving tonight and asked me to give these to you.” You hand out the minty chocolate treats to both of them, popping one in your mouth. “Seems like you made quite a good impression on Belle, she likes you a lot.”
“I’m convinced that Ethan likes her more than me! You should have seen him yesterday!”, Naveen exclaims as Ethan groans. Your pager beeps with the results of one of your patient’s tests. Sighing, you pop the last piece in your mouth and close the empty box.
“I have to go, I’ll see you later.”, you say as you kiss him on the cheek and gather your stuff. “Oh and Dr. Ramsey, I didn’t find anything much but I think this might be a small lead.”, you say pointing to the sample and highlighted part of the report. He nods as you exit the room.
After discussing a treatment plan with one of your patients, you’re heading towards the locker room to wrap up your shift early, when your phone chimes. It’s Bryce.
Tumblr media
After responding, you change into a pair of jeans and a spaghetti strap top and grab your stuff from the locker. You head to the parking lot, and drive your way home. You unlock your door and find Si dressed up in a 30s theme. “Si! You look beautiful! That side twist is gorgeous! I didn’t know that people dressed up for this.”, you exclaim as you take off your heels.
“Well, I won’t be the only one! I got you a little something.” She rushes into her room and comes out holding a bag in her hand. “I picked out this ivory outfit for you, try it on!”, she exclaims as she hurriedly pushes you into your room to get dressed.
“Okay, okay! Give me a sec!” You pull out the beautiful outfit from the bag and lay it on your bed as you strip and carefully slip on the silky outfit. You tentatively open the door as Si gasps. “So...what do you think?”
“Oh my gosh! You look so pretty, all that’s missing is a matching hairstyle and jewellery. Quick, sit here! I’ll do your hair!” She quickly ushers you on your stool and starts to style your hair with the combs on your vanity. Pulling your hair into a side swept bun, she applies a coat of a pink shade on your lips and lastly helps you add matching accessories. You eye a pair of earrings that match Si’s dress.
“Here! Wear these!” She gasps.
“No way! They’re way too expensive, I can’t wear these!”, she counters.
“Oh shut up! You’re my best friend! You can wear whatever’s in my room.” You quickly trade her earrings and clasp yours on her as she looks in the mirror.
“Wow...these are really pretty.”
“Then keep them, they look much better on you.”, you reply.
“What, no! I can’t possibly”-
“Nope! I won’t take no for an answer.” She finally agrees and hugs you. You both look at yourselves at your floor length mirror for one last time. “Wait! One last touch!”, you say, carefully clasping on the necklace that Naveen gave you.
“Give me your phone! This is a perfect opportunity for a photo op.” She leads to a luminous corner in your room and snaps a pic as you do the same for her.
“These came out amazing! I’m posting mine, then we’ll leave.” You both take a few minutes to post your pictures. Just as you’re about to leave, Si’s phone chimes. She picks up the phone and replies, hiding the screen from you. “Hey, you can go without me. I’ll be there a bit later.”, she says.
Tumblr media
“Okay…”, you bid goodbye and leave the apartment. You’re strolling down the sidewalk towards Boston Common, eyes sweeping through the crowd for any sign of your friends when finally you spot them.
“Damn, you look even classier in person!”, Bryce says patting the spot next to him. You place your things nearby and squeeze in by Bryce.
“Where’s Sienna? She said she was waiting for you.”, Elijah asks.
“I don’t know.”, you respond. “Just as we were about to leave, she got a text and said she’ll come by a little later.” Just then, you hear a familiar voice greet Elijah.
“Hey.” You all turn around to see Phoebe.
“Ohh...this guy’s got it baaaad…”, Jackie says, noticing the blush on Elijah’s cheeks.
“Shut up!”, you whisper to Jackie.
“Hey Phoebe. You came.”, Elijah spits out, not knowing what to say.
“Yeah...I said I would make it.”, Phoebe replies equally as awkward. You wince at the awkwardness and decide to play the role of Cupid once again.
“Phoebe! I’m glad you made it. Come sit here!”, you say gesturing to the comfy space by Elijah as he mouths a thank you. The pair sit together and click by talking about Star Trek, leaving you, Bryce and Jackie waiting for the screening. You’re about to ask Bryce when the movie starts when a smell of buttery goodness wafts towards you. All three of you turn around to find Sienna and Danny holding a small picnic basket. “Ohh...so that’s what the text was about. Let’s see how she gets out of this.”, you think. “Hey Danny, Sienna didn’t tell us she invited you! Come on, join us!” You scoot over, leaving just enough room for the pair to sit together.
“Hey Arielle. I had an idea, so I went and picked up a few pastries from a nearby bakery.”, he replies with a slight blush on his face. “Ahhh! These two are so cute!”, you think. Sienna hands out the treats as the opening credits roll. You sink your front teeth into a chocolatey croissant. “Mmm...this is good! Great idea!”, you exclaim. All seven of you relax and watch the movie.
After a while, Landry perks up saying, “Hey Arielle, did you find anything on Patient X?”
“Oh yeah Ari! Did you find anything?”, Elijah asks.
You carefully mull over what to say. “Umm…I don’t know anything. “, you say.
“Bullshit!”, says Jackie.
Thankfully, Si comes to your defence. “She’s serious! Zaid was chewing her out today for asking a bunch of questions.” Jackie rolls her eyes as everyone shifts their attention back to the movie. You mouth a thank you to Sienna and watch the movie. A little while later, you and Elijah are getting some drinks for the gang.
“So, I noticed you were a little down when I saw you before lunch today. What happened?”, he asks. You sigh and explain Willow’s condition. His face hardens.
“Elijah?....Elijah?!”
He blinks and turns to you. “Oh sorry.”
“Is everything okay?”
“Yeah, it’s alright.” You can clearly tell he’s lying.
“I’m not an idiot.”
He sighs, “It’s always that, don’t treat the condition or you’ll die; or treat the condition you you’ll be financially ruined.” You give him a look.
“...I was diagnosed with chronic spinal cord damage when I was 5. A surgeon came up with a solution to save my life, but it bankrupted my parents. They had to sell everything for my surgery. That’s why I wanted to become a doctor, you know? If it weren’t for that surgeon, I wouldn’t have been here right now. That’s what I wanted to do, find solutions for people who have nowhere to turn to.”, tears slowly trailing down his face.
Your heart wrenches. “I’m so sorry Elijah. And for what it’s worth, I know your parents would have made that decision over and over again for you.”
“I know. Do you know that there are government clinical trials for some patients?”, he asks.”
“Oh! I didn’t know that.” He doesn’t get any better.
“You are worth it, do you hear me? You are an amazing, wonderful and sweet person and whoever has gotten the pleasure to know you are blessed.”
He nods as he returns your hug. You buy the drinks and head back towards your friends.
Long into the movie, you’re completely bored and lost. “Does anybody know what’s going on?”, you ask.
“Well, Rosie’s supposed to hide out in Richard’s office until he leaves for the files of...or Wait I think it was...Oh forget it! I’m lost too!”, Landry exclaims. Your friends start talking, ignoring the movie as Bryce turns to you.
“So, you want to ditch this place?”
“I thought you were the one who said this would be ‘fun’!”, you counter.
“Hey! No point in making mistakes longer than you need to! Now, you coming or not?”, he asks.
You give him an incredulous look. “Where would we go? And I’m dressed like this!”
“We’ll go on an adventure. And maybe fashion you up some clothes meanwhile.”
“Okay, lead the way!” The two of you sneak away from the group and Bryce leads you to a mall. “Really? A mall? This is your definition of an ‘adventure’?”
“Well first, we need to get you some clothes. Second, who said a mall can’t be an adventure?! Just follow my lead!” You and Bryce enter the mall to find the mall mostly empty. “Okay, first you need an outfit change! So, does Miss Celebrity shop at stores like Forever 21 or only high-end brands?”, he teases you.
You roll your eyes. “I shop at Forever 21! And a bunch of other stores that aren’t high-end!”, you defend yourself.
“Okay then! First stop, picking out an outfit for you.”, he walks to the directory and scans the list for Forever 21. “Ah! There it is, second floor. Let’s go!” Both of you take the escalator up and enter the near empty store. “Now, I want you to sit here-“, he pats a bench near the dressing room, “While I go pick out an outfit for you.”
Before you can protest, he twirls around and heads into the women’s section. You decide to check your messages, seeing new texts from Si and Ethan and click on them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You’re about to go look for Bryce when he appears out of nowhere. “Crap! You scared me!” He gives you a sheepish grin.
“Hehe, sorry about that. Now, go try this on and see if you need a different size.” He hands you the black bag and pushes you into one of the dressing rooms. You open it to find a lace black bralette with an olive green cover-up and jeans. “Hmm...not bad scalpel jockey.”
You slip on the outfit and open your door as Bryce lets out a low whistle.
“Looks like it fits perfectly.”, he replies.
“It does.” You quickly hand over the clothes to Bryce and give him your purse, but he doesn’t take your purse. He comes back in a few minutes and tosses the outfit through the top. “Hey! A little heads-up would be nice!” You slip on your new outfit and fold your other outfit into the bag. You head out of the dressing room and sit on a bench near Bryce, who’s texting someone.
“It’s Jackie. She wanted to know where we went.”, he says without looking up.
“I told Sienna though.”, you reply confused.
“Apparently, both pairs of lovebirds are grossing Jackie out.” You both laugh. “Just a sec, okay.” You nod and look at the nearby display of nail polish when you hear a click. Turing around, you see Bryce smiling and your phone chimes. Pulling out your phone, you see that Bryce took a picture of you and sent it to you.
“Hmm...who knew scalpel jockey had such photography skills?! I might post this.”, you tease him as you post it.
Tumblr media
“So, does that make up for wasting your time?”, he asks.
“Maybe...depends on what adventure we’re going on next.”, you reply.
“Well, first we need fuel for our adventure. We’re getting some food!”, Bryce exclaims.
“You really know the way to a girl’s heart.” He flashes his signature grin and leads you to Chick-fil-A after paying for your outfit.
“How do you know I like Chick-fil-A?”, you ask.
“I don’t .”, he nonchalantly replies. He heads inside and orders two chicken burgers with a side of fries and an Oreo milkshake. You both take a seat in the booth after picking out your favourite sauces and water.
“I come here only for the mayo, and then stuff as many packets as I can in my pockets. It’s sooo good!”, you exclaim as he laughs.
“You remind me of my sister.”, he says.
“Careful Lahela, then I might come to the conclusion that you like me as a friend.”, you tease. He’s about to reply when the employee calls out your order. You get up but he doesn’t let you, and carries the tray full of goodness and carbs back to your table. “Such a gentleman.”, you say. Taking the burger from the tray, you unwrap it and take a bite (not before adding a little extra mayo, of course). “Ohmygod…”
“There’s nothing like comfort food.”, he says handing you a spoon for the Oreo milkshake.
“Yeah, comfort food becomes your best friend after a breakup.”, you say.
He raises an eyebrow. “And when was this?” He notices the hesitation on your face and places a hand on your shoulder, “Hey, it’s alright. You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”
“No, it’s okay...he was my first love. We met at med school, he was in his second year of med school for neuroscience and it was my first for internal medicine. It was my first week, I was in Hopkins’ central library trying to reach for a book and managed to pull down the whole section of books somehow.”
He chuckles, “Sounds like you, alright!” You roll your eyes.
“It sounds cliche, but he helped me up and with the books, then took me out to cheer me up. After that, we met up more and more and found ourselves going on dates. He didn’t have classes together so we mostly met up during the weekends and texted everyday. Later, I met Laura.”
“Who’s Laura?”, he asks.
“She is...was my best friend through all of med school. I’ll explain. We started dating three months later and made it official at the end of the year. We took it slow, both of us respected each other’s careers and dreams so we never had many disagreements. It was amazing, all 5 and a half years of med school. I had a wonderful, kind considerate boyfriend who knew everything about me and a best friend that always had my back. Everything was perfect, he never used me for my connections and treated me as a normal person.”, you say.
“Hah! Imagine my surprise when I looked you up on Insta!”, he says. You laugh, remembering the day when Raf and Bryce had found out about your celeb status.
“Because he was studying to be a neurosurgeon, he had an extra year so we both ended med school in the same year. His medical idol is Dr. Harper Emery, he would talk about her all the time and really held a level of respect.”, you continue.
“She is mine, too. Have you met her, like personally?”, he asks.
“I have once. It was quite a few years back during one of Edenbrook’s charity galas. Naveen had taken me there as his plus one and I met her, she was someone that you would just hold a certain level of respect.”, you say.
“Woah, woah, woah. Hold on, do you mean Naveen, as in Naveen Banerji, as in the greatest diagnostian of all time?!”, he exclaims. You wince, completely forgetting about that. Taking your time, you explain what happened with him, except about his illness. “Damn, that’s impressive. I mean, changing your last name and starting completely fresh without using any influence. Anyways, continue.”
“As you know, my inspiration and my idol was Dr. Ramsey, and we both wanted to get into Edenbrook for our residency. Laura wanted to go to Johns Hopkins Hospital for their peds program. And after our final exams, we found out that I had gotten into Edenbrook for my residency...and he didn’t. Laura didn’t get into Johns Hopkins either.”, you say recalling the horrid memories after that moment.
“I’m guessing that’s where the problem started.”, he says.
You nod. “At first, he was really happy for me and so was Laura. But after a week, he started acting cold, like he was keeping a grudge against me. I tried talking to him but he didn’t try to talk it out. One day, I couldn’t take it anymore and burst, screaming at him why he was doing this.”, your throat hitches.
“What happened?”, you can see the anger in his eyes.
“...he had the audacity to say that I had used people to get into Edenbrook for my residency. I was shocked, having thought that the person who knew me so well thought I was using my name to rig the system. We didn’t talk for a week after that, and when I was cleaning out my clothes from his closet,...I found a velvet box. It was an engagement ring.”
Bryce’s eyes go wide. If only he knew what happened next. “I thought that we could fix this, I thought that he loved me, our relationship could be saved and we would be happy. So, I knocked on his door but no one answered. After a while, I couldn’t wait so I unlocked the door with the key he gave me and…” You take a deep breath. “...Laura was kissing him….and he was kissing her back.” By now, tears are slowly making their way down your face.
“That asshole! What the hell was he thinki”- He stops at the sight of your face and takes a seat beside you, comforting you. “Hey, hey, hey. Don’t cry now. You’re one of the strongest women I’ve ever met and I’ve met a lot!” That makes you smile a bit. “That guy is an idiot, alright, for letting one of the most kind, compassionate and selfless women I’ve ever known. He doesn’t deserve you, alright!?“
You nod, brushing away your tears. “Okay.”
“Now, no more crying. Tonight, we’re going to have the time of our life! Now, finish up and we’ll go.” You finish up your food as Bryce tells you about the crazy parties he went to at Stanford.
“Oh my god! I can’t believe you did that!”, you shriek.
“I did. Now, let’s go!” After throwing away everything, you head out and Bryce leads you inside Walmart.
“What are we doing here?”, you ask.
“Just watch.” You watch as he strolls casually near a rack of clothing and yells, “There’s a snake in here!!” Your mouth and eyes widen in horror as everyone screams and runs away, leaving racks and displays to topple over each other, making a mess. “Oh sorry guys! It was just a scarf!” He quickly runs away pulling you with him out of the store before the employees can see you.
“What the hell did you do that for?!”, you half shout.
“What are you talking about, that was epic!? My mission today is to cheer you up, and I will do whatever it takes even if I have to makeshift a zip line from the 5th to the 1st floor.” You try to hide a smile but unsuccessfully end up bursting with laughter.
“Those people were sooo scared! And then I swear, one lady looked like she was about to bite your head off!!”, you say.
“Well, we’re not done yet.”, he drags you away before you can protest. A few minutes later, you’re standing in front of Urban Outfitters. “I have one more idea, and then it’s your turn.”, he says.
“What! No, there’s no way!”, you exclaim.
“Uh, uh, uh. You’re doing it.” He drags you into the store and randomly grabs three different pairs of jeans and heads towards the dressing room. “Wait here.” He points to a secluded corner as he goes inside the dressing room.
After several minutes, the door suddenly bursts open and Bryce makes a big scene. ”Ugh! What kind of jeans are these? None of them are leak-proof!” He says as he throws the jeans to the side and disappears in the racks, a few seconds later appearing by your side. You have to clamp your mouth shut after witnessing the attendant ‘s flustered and wide-eyed face.
After you both manage to escape from the shop without the woman noticing, you burst out in a fit of giggles. “Leak-proof?! That poor woman was astonished!”, you manage to blurt out in between laughter. You look up to see him smiling at you.
“What?”, you ask.
He gives you a devilish grin. “Now, it’s your turn.” Your eyes widen.
“No, no, no, no, no! There’s no way I’m embarrassing myself, that too on purpose! I have a reputation to uphold!” He looks at you. “Fine! Let me think!” You look around and spot an abandoned shopping cart, which triggers the memory of a prank Mark played before. A smirk fills your face as you say, “I have an idea. All I need is some clear beading wire.” He looks at you. “Don’t worry! I know what I’m doing!”
This time, you’re the one dragging him inside Michael’s and quickly pick out a strong wire. After paying for it, you turn to him. “Is there like a grocery store or something here?”
“I saw a Target on my way here. I think it was on the second floor.”, he says. You go down to the second floor and spot the Target.
“Okay, so are you going to tell me what your master plan is?”, he asks with a raised eyebrow. You pull him down and whisper in his ears. His eyes widen. “I didn’t think you had it in you.”
“Well, you should now by now that I’m full of surprises.”, you say as you enter the shop. After wondering around for a bit, you find the perfect place to execute your plan. You carefully set up the wire as Bryce goes to get a shopping cart.
“Did someone ask for a shopping cart?” You roll your eyes as he pushes the cart to you. “Shut up and help me with these wires.” After another 15 minutes of prep, you are finally ready to execute.
“Are you sure you want to do this?”, he asks.
“It was your idea. Plus, I’m not backing out now. Ready?” He nods as the both of you take your places. He mouths, “3...2...1!” You let out a high-pitched scream as the shopping cart rolls towards you. Attracting attention, you quickly run across the aisles as the shopping cart mysteriously follows you at quite a speed. People start shouting and screaming and you keep running and shrieking, Bryce nearby controlling the shopping cart with the wires. Everyone is freaking out, screaming and shouting, things on the shelves are completely scattered, the floor a huge mess until suddenly, you’re pulled back. Turning around, you see a security guard holding the wire, exposing you and Bryce. Shit!
A while later…
“So, I guess you being an actor and all didn’t help...that wasn’t a good idea was it?”, he says. You’re standing outside the mall you’ve been banned from for a month.
“No it wasn’t…”, you both burst out laughing. “I had an amazing time Bryce. Thank you.”
“Of course, you’re my sister from another mister.”, he makes you laugh for the millionth time as you both walk back to your apartment. By the time you reach home, it’s already 11.
“Just keep in mind that everything won’t always have a readymade solution. Sometimes you have to make your own path. Goodnight Elle.”
“Goodnight Bryce.”, you lightly kiss his cheek and head inside. After getting ready for bed, you slide into your sheets and let today’s events wash over you...when it hits you. “I know how to save Willow!” Hopping out of bed, you quickly grab a notepad and a pen. Propping open your MacBook, you start typing in a search query, knowing you have a long night ahead of you.
The next morning, you’re walking to the front desk to ask the whereabouts of Chief Emery.
“Hey Arielle! Need help with anything?”, you look to your right and see Danny walking towards you.
“Good morning Danny. Have you seen Chief Emery? I need to ask her about a treatment for a patient.”
“Umm...I think I saw her go into OR 6, but there isn’t any surgery though.” He shrugs and walks away. You shout a thank you and head to the sixth floor where all the scheduled surgeries are performed. The door is ajar as you near the OR, taking a peek inside, you see her hovering over the surgical tools, hands running over them as if she’s greeting an old friend. You wait for her to notice you until she turns around, your signature vanilla scent wafting in the air.
“Dr. Valentine. What can I do for you?”, she asks. You take a deep breath and launch into your prepared pitch for Willow’s treatment. After you’re done, your nervousness gets ahold of you leading to you biting your lip.
“So you’re telling me you want to exploit a fully funded government study for a patient’s treatment?”, she asks.
“It’s the only way for my patient to be able to afford her treatment. Edenbrook won’t be held of any charges.”, you reply thinking that as the chief, that’s what she’s worrying about.
“You sound like Dr. Ramsey.” You don’t know why, but your heart swells with pride.
“I take that as a compliment.”
She thinks it over, leaving you thinking that you blew it until, “Hand it here.” You can’t stop the smile blooming on your face as you hand her the papers. She signs them and gives them to you when your pager beeps.
“Excuse me.” You see that Willow’s being discharged. Crap! You quickly grab the papers and run back to the 1st floor all while shouting, “Thank you!” You swear that you hear her laugh.
By the time you burst into Willow’s room, you’re out of breath and the pair of twins look at you like you’re wearing an octopus as a hat. “Dr. Valentine? Is everything alright? Is something wrong with my sister?”, Rowan asks nervously. You look up to see Willow dressed and all her belongings packed as you catch your breath.
“You don’t have to leave! I found a way for you to receive your treatment!” You explain your findings and the government study. “So, it will cover all your medical expenses but both of you will have to agree.”
“Of course, I’d do anything for my sister. But, we both are still in college debt. I’ll just have to work a few extra shifts. Thank you so much, Dr. Valentine!”
You pull out the check you wrote yesterday night. “I want you to have this. It will help with your debts.” His eyes widen as he looks over the amount.
“I...I can’t possibly take this. It’s way too much”-
“No please, keep it. What’s the point of being rich if you don’t use it to help others?”, you say. Rowan hugs you.
“Thank you so so much for all your help Dr. Valentine. We’ll never forget this.”, Willow says.
“Of course.” You’re interrupted by a sharp knock at the door. Opening it, you find a doctor, but not one of Edenbrook’s.
“You must be Dr. Valentine. I'm the doctor you spoke with on the phone yesterday. There is some initial paperwork which has to be looked over and signed.
“Ah yes. You must be Dr. Martin. We’ll get started.”
After finishing up the paperwork, you head to the nurses’ station with a big smile on your lips. "What are you smiling about?" A familiar baritone voice from behind you grabs your attention. You turn around to find Ethan looking at you raising his brows.
"I found a way to help some people who deserve it. It's a really good feeling," your smile broadens.
"Well done, Rookie,", he shockingly offers you a rare smile before leaning closer. He rests one of his hands on your arm."And thanks for not telling anyone about… my patient." He sighs sadly as you study his features.
He doesn't seem happy or relieved but surely seems better rested. You sadly smile at him, "Of course...you’re not the only one who wants him to get better."
He nods at you understanding. His hand rests on your arm for one last moment after he squeezes your arm as a thank you, letting them fall to his sides.
You turn away as he requests for one of his patient charts from Marlene. You freeze seeing Dr. Emery standing across the hallway, looking at the two of you thoughtfully. You are brought back to reality by Ethan's voice, thanking the nurse and leaving. Harper looks at you one last time before walking towards the direction where Ethan went.
Ethan's P.O.V
You are forced to look up from Naveen's recent test results when you hear a knock.
"Come in," you say keeping your voice devoid of any friendliness, thinking it was some intern. “Or a certain intern with violet hair!”, your mind reminds you. The door opens, revealing Harper who waltzes in and takes a seat opposite to you.
“What can I do for the Chief of Medicine today?”, you ask.
“I just wanted to see how my friend was doing. Is that a crime?”, she asks.
You scoff, “I’ve known you for a long time Harper, and quite well enough to know when you want something.”
“I’ve been noticing you’ve been quite distant these past few weeks, you’re never found in your office, always somewhere around the hospital.”
“So she has been noticing your behaviour.”, you think. “I’m not distant. I’m just busy.”, you reply with a roll of your eyes.
Her voice softens, “Ethan, you know I’m still your friend. You can talk to me.”, she says.
“Not anymore, not when you’re the Chief of Medicine I can’t.”, you think. You blatantly lie, “I’m perfectly fine Harper. Now I’m sure you have much more important work to do.” With a sigh, she exits your office.
”I know she’ll discover this someday, but when she does...would everything be alright?”

I really want a fic about whoever is behind the nebulous ‘government contracts’ the Institute has. The government research groups and official supernatural protection agencies and the military version of Section 31 etc...Like a combo of the SCP Foundation, the Sick Land and the Laundry Files, I’m thinking.
None of them really know what’s going on but they all assume somebody above them does, but actually they’re groping around and being played all the way to the top. They’re just Out There, sometimes doing good, sometimes bad, sometimes just getting eaten.
They all have to double check their ID cards against outdated polaroid pictures for some vague ‘security’ reason, and none of them understand why 
They have a jail with multiple unkillable prisoners inside, most of whom are just vibing Expert Testimony style, and a Top Security section of the...library, for some reason?
Some very early-Laundryverse style shenanigans ensue with some manager trying to renovate their ancient Smirke-built HQ and the more in-the-know members have to beg them like “please no you can’t add an extension, it’ll upset the Subtle Balance and we’ll get attacked by Talking Meat and spider people again”
One time they sent a team to raid the Lukas mansion and it just...never came back. 
Another time they captured an Avatar of the Buried and couldn’t figure out how to contain them, so they ended up outsourcing to private sector experts paying Simon Fairchild lots of money to throw the guy into space
First statement would probs involve the guy looking down on Jon and snarking about how they have a contract with the Magnus Institute because its cheaper than paying for adequate mental health support in-house...whereas we, the readers, all know its just Elias farming them for statements.

Miles Vs. The Spot reference and animation for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse by Eric De Carolis
I had way too much fun shooting reference for Spot here..😳 I did about 25 different versions trying to find the right amount of awkwardness for him. After splicing together the parts that worked best, this was the final result. - Eric De Carolis on Twitter

Uyghur/ADHD things for Nur
I think y’all know by now that Nur is Uyghur and has ADHD, but here’s some more headcanons for that as well. 
Nur is a practicing Muslim. She tries her best to do her daily prayers every day and sets reminders to pray on her phone or whatever device she has. Or an assistant drone like Snowball could remind her. She always prays in her room at Talon HQ. I don’t think she’d be allowed to go to the local mosque.
Like a lot of Muslim kids, Nur had memorized the Quran by a young age. However, it took longer for her because of her ADHD. Some chapters she had to learn on her own. When she was at Oasis, her researchers gave her a copy after she kept sneaking off to the university library to read from the Quran there. She still has it with her. 
Talon probably doesn’t have halal food for their soldiers, but I think they’d bend the rules for Nur since they’re training her to be a special agent and she’s an important asset. Moira buys her halal street food when they’re out and about in Rome. Nur’s favorite is chicken gyros. (I figured since Italian and Greek cuisines are both Mediterranean, it shouldn’t be hard to find a halal gyro place in Rome.) 
Moira could also be feeding Nur herself and teaching her how to cook. That would be cute. 
Ramadan is gonna be a whole situation while Nur is still in Talon. She’s practiced fasting since she was little but she wasn’t able to do a complete fast until she was 15. You know the “Pudge the Fish” scene from “Lilo and Stitch”? Replace Lilo with Nur and the hula teacher with Moira and you have a very accurate idea of how bad 12-year-old Nur felt about not observing fast properly. ( *dramatic whispering* “Do you know what Muslims do during Ramadan?” “They fast...?” “They FAST!”) 
Nevertheless, they were able to figure out a solution: one day of breaking fast for one day of fasting. 
Anyone in Talon who gives Nur shit about her fasting will face Moira, Sombra, and Akande if he’s at HQ. Siebren either calls them out or puts them in a chokehold -- only if they deserve it though. (As for Amelie and Reaper, I’m honestly not sure how they’d react, but I think they’d at least be- )
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I usually draw Nur with her hijab on, but she does take it off when she’s alone with Moira and Sombra. She never takes it off around Siebren. Maybe just her white hood but that’s it. 
Amelie rarely interacts with Nur, but one time she complimented her hijab at a company event. It was a midnight blue crepe-cotton scarf with a gold floral print and it matched her dress. 
Nur keeps her hair in a bunch of thin, shoulder-length braids. In Uyghur tradition, girls and young single women keep their hair in several long braids to display their femininity. Married women keep their hair in two braids. Nur likes to unbraid and re-braid her hair to de-stress. She also likes braiding Sombra’s hair for the same reason.
Speaking of hair, Nur likes to put wigs on her hijab. It’s a great source of humor for her. 
Nur bounces her leg and plays with the ends of her scarf. Everyone typically ignores it if they notice. 
Moira got Nur a weighted blanket to help her with sleep troubles. Nur sometimes shares it with Sombra when they hang out at night. 
Nur absolutely hates the smell of raw fish. Same goes for shellfish and other mollusks. When Siebren found out, he was initially sad at first because he loves fish and seafood, but then he realized he could do the Dutch herring equivalent of dads killing spiders and scaring their kids with the dead spider and he did it with Nur.

i couldn't get enough of him 💖💖
shy miguel o'hara (your soon-to-be husband) and you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"don't joke about this, cariño... not in front of them, please–you know i take discussions like this seriously..." he muttered as you smiled and squeezed his cheeks. "just pretend they aren't even there, miggy. answer me, now, then... would you marry me?" you asked him as his eyes gleamed, brightening up as his lower lip quivered. "answer me from the answer that's in the depths of your heart." you told him as miguel gently took your wrist in his hand and moved your palm to his lips for him to kiss and murmured in a flustered voice, "i would... i always would, in every universe, i will."
the spider recruits audibly sighed and muttered to themselves how heart-warming and eye-opening this moment was for them all, to know their big, bad spider of a boss was eager to make the sweetest, loveliest person in all of HQ his spouse... it really changed their perspective of him, even just slightly. you giggled and leaned over and kissed his lips gently, and when you pulled away, you looked into his eyes and told him with a great smile, "the spider people behind us are our witnesses to my proposal to my surprise for you, then, mig." you told him as you reached in your pocket for a tiny, dark blue box and got on one knee.
the spiders gasped as you smiled and opened the ring box, asking him in a confident, tender voice, "will you marry me, miguel? i love you, so, so much... my intimidating vampire of a spider person as my lover, would you be with me as my husband, forever?"
miguel's eyes filled with joyous tears that rolled down his sculpted cheeks–his lower lip quivered as he tried to comprehend that you... wanted him, right then and there. with a choked sob of utter devotion and love, miguel bent down and wrapped his arms around you, and kept repeating that same word, "yes," over and over and over–with 'i love you's in spanish and english spoken in countless different ways as he kissed your face all over–not caring how the spiders that witnessed your declaration of your love to him clapping and cheering for you two, forgetting that they were once scared of miguel and now just focused on how happy you two make each other, because really... he does get pretty cute while shy, but he gets absolutely irresistible when he's accepting that he's soft towards you, that he's vulnerable, and wants nothing more than to be yours and make you happy and content with your life that will soon be spent with him for the remainder of it, if you'll have him for as long as he wants to have you.

Chapter Eleven: Magnus Bane
Okay, kiddos. Let’s go.
Jace and Clary leave the Brotherhood HQ, and Jace calls the cab driver a “brain-dead moron”. You know what, here’s the full quote:
Jace leaned forward and banged his hand against the partition separating them from the cab driver. “Turn left! Left! I said to take Broadway, you brain-dead moron!”
Oh, man, I’m so hot for Jace you guys. He’s so evil and cruel. I’m fanning myself. And the reason he wants to take Broadway? He wants breakfast. That’s it. It’s not a life-or-death situation. He wants fucking breakfast.
I like the idea of the diner they go to. A place where magical ppl can get together for some spaghetti. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this, but I LOVE the idea of a secret (or not-so-secret) magical Manhattan. It’s just so unfortunate that Clare’s is so bad.
Clarinet asks Jack-Jack about Magnus Bane. Jack-Jack explains that he’s a warlock. Alec shows up. Clare is the foreshadowing master.
Clary freaks out about a guy in front of the store who looks like a demon. Clary. Girl. Come on. You know about this stuff already. It’s been like two days. Calm down. Apparently he’s a bouncer (for a diner) and is the warlock equivalent of a squib.
Honesty, I love this diner. They have blood on tap!!!! That’s so cool!!!!!! Plus, the people eating there sound way more interesting than our MCs.
[A] boy with spiky blue dreads was sitting next to a beautiful Indian girl with long black hair and gauzelike golden wings sprouting from her back.
Gotta love how the only people of color are basically set-dressing, though. At least Simon is Jewish, even with the messed up antisemitic crosses-burned-into-him dream thing. Clare’s Jewish, though, so of course she represents only herself and leaves everyone else out in the cold.
Alec shows up:
There was a kinetic, almost feverish energy to [Alec] that hadn’t been there before. Something about Jace sharpened him, brought him into focus. If she were going to draw them together, she thought, she would make Jace a little blurry, while Alec stood out, all sharp, clear planes and angles.
Oh, here it is. The “poor gay boy only comes to life in front of hopelessly straight crush” trope. Bc Alec has nothing better to do than obsess over Jace, a boy who is currently being rude to the waitress. Does Clare honestly not know how annoying rude boys are?
Isabelle and Simon show up. Apparently, even Isabelle’s perfume is evil:
Isabelle’s hair tickled [Clary’s] face, smelling of some kind of vanilla perfume. Clary fought the urge to sneeze. She hated vanilla perfume. She’d never understood why some girls felt the need to smell like dessert.
Haven’t I mentioned? Clary is the best girl to ever girl. Isabelle can’t even order right. Instead of getting something reasonable, like a large order of coconut pancakes (gross, Clary), “Isabelle fastidiously order[s] a fruit smoothie”.
Jace goes off to flirt with the waitress. Clary is confused bc the waitress is a Downworlder and aren’t they, like, totally evil? Isabelle and Alec assure her that the only kill the bad Downworlders. The rest they let live.
“Like letting spiders live because they eat mosquitoes, Clary thought.” Uh, not really. The Downworlders aren’t spiders. They’re just people, living their lives.
“So they’re good enough to let live, good enough to let live, good enough to make your food for you, good enough to flirt with—but not really good enough? I mean, not as good as people.” Isabelle and Alec looked at her as if she were speaking Urdu. “Different from people,” said Alec finally.
This doesn’t really seem like such a difficult question? Isabelle and Alec are just trying to cover up their bullshit.
“Better than mundanes?” said Simon. “No,” Isabelle said decidedly. “You could turn a mundane into a Shadowhunter. But you could never turn a Downworlder into one of the Clave. They can’t withstand the runes.”
So Shadowhunters judge others based on their ability to become Shadowhunters? Seems not at all racist. I’m so glad we had this chat. Jace comes back and explains that there’s just a shit-ton of hostility between Shadowhunters and Downworlders, so it’s not really racism.
Miracle of miracles, Isabelle reveals that Magnus Bane has invited the magical community of New York to his house for a party. God, I love parties.
There’s a whole day before the party, so Simon and Isabelle decide to go for a walk in Central Park. For some reason, this makes Clary feel a “murderous rage”. These emotions are seriously not healthy.
Back at the Institute, Clary goes exploring in the library and finds a photo of her mom and other Order of the Pheonix members-cum-Deatheaters Shadowhunters. Evil Giles shows up and points out Valentine, Luke, the Lightwoods, Jace’s mom, and himself in the picture. Clary mentions that Jace doesn’t look anything like his father. What could this possibly mean?
Honestly, the concept of a book about the children of villains isn’t terrible. It really just the complete ripping-off of Harry Potter that annoys me.
Oh, God. Clary gets back to her room (armed with a sleeping potion from Hodge) to see Jace looking at her sketchbook. I’m not even good at drawing, and my sketchbooks are still deeply personal. You can’t just look in someone’s sketchbook! It’s like a diary! WTF, Jace!
In fact, Clary tells Jace that it’s  basically a diary and that he shouldn’t look at it. This should be obvious.
Wait, I’m laughing:
“You could try not being charming all the time,” Clary said. “It might be a relief for everyone.”
BITCH, WHERE???
Tumblr media
Jace offers to tell Clary a bedtime story. It’s the famous falcon story, the one that Clare used in her Harry Potter fanfiction. You know, where Jace’s father gives him a falcon to train, and when Jace loves it, his father kills it. Proof that Jace is Draco.
Somehow, Clary makes the connection that this story is about Jace only as she falls asleep. Whatever.
Isabelle wakes up Clary. Again, a famous moment:
[Isabelle] looked like a moon goddess. Clary hated her.
Bitch, Isabelle is a moon goddess, and I love her.
Yes, we have a makeover scene!! My secret weakness. I’m sorry, fellow patriarchy fighters. Makeover scenes are just so good.
Isabelle continues to be the coolest person in this book:
Her room looked as if a disco ball had exploded inside it. The walls were black and shimmered with swirls of sponged-on golden paint. Clothes were strewn everywhere: on chairs, spilling out of the closet and the tall wardrobe propped against one wall. Her vanity table, its mirror rimmed with spangled pink fur, was covered in glitter, sequins, and pots of blush and powder.
I want this room!
Clary gets a slinky black dress, fishnets, and boots. I want this outfit, too. When Isabelle does Clary’s makeup, Clary asks if Alec is gay. For some reason, this causes an intense shock in Isabelle:
Isabelle’s wrist jerked. The eyeliner skidded, inking a long line of black from the corner of Clary’s eye to her hairline. “Oh, hell,” Isabelle said, putting the pen down. “It’s all right,” Clary began, putting her hand up to her eye. “No, it isn’t.” Isabelle sounded near tears as she scrabbled around among the piles of junk on top of the vanity . . . She sat down on the edge of the bed, ankle bracelets jingling, and looked at Clary through her hair. “How did you guess?” she said finally. “I—” “You absolutely can’t tell anyone,” said Isabelle. “Not even  Jace?” “Especially not Jace!” “All right.” Clary heard the stiffness in her own voice. “I guess I didn’t realize it was such a  big deal.” “It would be to my parents,” said Isabelle quietly. “They would disown him and throw him out of the Clave—” “What, you can’t be gay and a Shadowhunter?” “There’s no official rule about it, But people don’t like it. I mean, less with people our age—I think,” she added, uncertainly, and Clary remembered how few other people her age Isabelle had ever really met. “But the older generation, no. If it happens, you don’t talk about it.”
Okay. So. I’m trying to judge this for when it was written. But, like. Is the homophobia necessary? It’s kind of like the ridiculous sexism in ACOTA/R. It’s a choice the author is making, for, like, no good reason. This is a case of a straight author needlessly torturing her gay character. But since this was published in 2007, I feel like this has been talked out, so let’s move on.
IT TURNS OUT THAT ISABELLE’S ANKLETS ARE WEAPONS. I LOVE HER. WE ARE GETTING MARRIED. WEDDING INVITATIONS TO FOLLOW.
Ugh, Simon short-circuits bc Clary is wearing a short skirt. Please calm down, sweetie. You’re embarrassing me. Wait, what is even going on here? Jace gives Clary a dagger, and, uh, this happens:
“I could give you a thigh sheath to put that in,” Isabelle offered. “I’ve got tons.” “ABSOLUTELY NOT,” said Simon.
I’m actually laughing. Lol for real. What does this even mean? Is a thigh sheath too sexy or something? Simon, can you chill for .2 seconds? This isn’t your body. Let’s all take deep breaths.
Clary puts the dagger in the outside pocket of her backpack because there’s no way having to unzip a backpack to get to the dagger could bit her in the ass during a fight. Then Jace reaches over and undoes her hair bc, uh, shipping moment.
I’m so grossed out by the fact that in a short while, they will think they’re siblings.
