Tourniquet - Chapter Nine

Supernatural Dean x Reader Series Told Backwards

~Y/N has been by Dean’s side through his worst days, always there if he needs her, forever just a call away. Love is impossible to fight and more impossible to live with. Just a side character in his epic life, Y/N would give anything just to give Dean a moment’s peace.~

Please see MASTERLIST for full info/warnings/chapter links.

Another Summer Alone

“Y/N!”

She was sitting on the old creaky stairs, knobby knees bent up to her chest. She was staring at the front door, waiting impatiently for the handle to turn.

“Y/N Y/L/N! Where you at, girl?”

Bobby’s voice boomed through the downstairs, bouncing off the plaster walls and finding its way to her ears.

“I’m here!”

She stood up as he appeared, wiping his wet hands with an old yellow rag. She was clean and dressed, hair uncharacteristically brushed out and hanging down over her shoulders. Her arms and legs were bare, and she wore a pale blue sundress and her white Keds.

Bobby’s brow creased as he looked her over.

“Whatchoo all dressed up for?”

Y/N shrugged, hiding her nervous smile. “Nothin’. Can’t a girl get dressed up around here? I am a girl, in case you forgot like everyone else.”

He hummed in reply and adjusted his trucker hat, wiggling it back into place. He was not as clean, wearing an old shirt and jeans, both more holy than the man himself; and a gray flannel that matched the grease stains on his hands. No matter how much he scrubbed his hands, they never looked clean. The dirt had sunk deep into the cracks of his palms, settled in the nail beds, seeped into his skin. Still, Y/N thought he was handsome, even with the scratchy beard and growing beer gut. He was Uncle Bobby. He was safe and caring and sturdy.

“Quit staring already,” she huffed, waving his gaze away with a delicate hand.

Bobby caught her hand and tugged it gently, turning her palm down. “You wearin’ nail polish, too?”

Y/N yanked her hand from his and turned her nose up in the air. “I can wear nail polish if I want to.”

“And that stuff on your eyes - your father let you wear that crap?”

She looked back over her shoulder and prepared to fight back at such an accusation with some teenage rampage about how if he cared what she did with her body, he’d be there to yell at her himself. Before the words could truly form, she heard it.

Gravel crushed under tires.

A roaring engine.

The heavy creak of door hinges.

A knock on the door.

Her heart raced and she looked at Bobby who nodded toward the door, letting her get it.

The setting sun was bright, striking her gaze with a familiar sting.

Green eyes, spiked hair, pale freckles, beautiful smile. Seventeen looked good on him.

Dean bit his bottom lip as he looked her over. “Hey, Y/N/N.”

Her heart soared;, her cheeks burned. “Hey, Dean.”

A gruff voice broke through their reunion as John pushed Dean through the entryway.

“You gonna stand outside all day or get in? Move it, Dean.”

The older boy stepped aside and John bounded in, ignoring Y/N and greeting Bobby with a firm handshake and a manly hug.

The smell of whiskey and dirty smoke followed him in and Y/N gagged silently next to Dean. He laughed under his breath and gave her a secret wink.

Sam was next through the door, carrying two giant duffle bags that were threatening to take the kid down.

“Hi, Y/N,” he greeted shyly as Dean took the weight from his left shoulder.

“Heya, Sam. Nice to see ya.”

He blushed as if the simple fact that she knew his name was enough to send him to seventh heaven.

With the welcome done, Bobby cleared his throat. “Well, if you boys want supper, drop your bags upstairs and get cleaned up. We wash our hands before eating here.”

Sam nodded and adjusted the strap on his arm. “Yes, sir.”

Dean hung back with Y/N, wanting to talk to her, but John snapped at him.

“You too, Dean.”

He sighed. “Yes, sir.”

John rolled his eyes and turned away, following Bobby into the back.

“I’m glad you’re here,” Dean whispered to Y/N, accidentally on purpose bumping into her as he went for the stairs.

“Me too,” she grinned.

She watched him go, dreaming of running away with him someday, of stealing a car from out front and racing off into the sunset together.

He must have felt her staring and paused on the top step. He glanced back down at her.

“You look really nice,” he said.

Her heart nearly burst.

John left the next morning and the house seemed to sigh in relief.

They spent the summer days lounging about or sneaking around in the Ford graveyard. Sam kept to himself, shoving his nose in a book or trying to get better reception from the rabbit ears on the old tv in the bedroom.

Bobby kept one eye on the budding couple, but mostly let them do as they pleased. Dean and Y/N were too old now to really reprimand, but he was especially attentive when they teens hung about in the shadows. It would be one thing for them to get hurt fooling around in the yard, scraping knees or burning themselves on hot metal, but Y/N ending up pregnant under his nose was something he wasn’t willing to risk.

Y/N hadn’t been so happy in a long time and from the look of the fading bruises on his face and arms, neither had Dean.

He seemed sadder than she remembered him being. Despite his smile, there was something underneath that she couldn’t quite reach, some secret he was holding in. She held him just a little tighter when they hugged, snuggled just a little closer when they sat together on the ratty old sofa.

Still, there was a calmness between them, a warmth that they shared, as if the sun were beating down just for them. When Dean looked at her, he smiled. When she held his hand, he relaxed.

It was nice.

Days turned to weeks and the summer wind grew warmer. They spent hours in the field or down by the stream, kicking rocks into the water and chatting about everything.

Dean was proud that John had finally let him hunt and he assured Y/N that he was being safe, and was actually really good at it. She worried, but knew that someday he’d be the greatest hunter in the world. He was amazing like that. She had no doubts.

Y/N talked quietly about her travels with her father, about the miles and monsters they’d conquered. They’d finally made it to Kentucky, she announced with the cadence of an inside joke, and his smile made her melt.

“You ever wish you didn’t know about this stuff?” he asked one evening while they lay in the grass side by side.

Y/N was propped up on one arm, watching him as he watched the fireflies sparkle overhead.

“I guess. Yeah.” She sighed. “I mean, this is life, isn’t it? I think I’d rather know the thing under my bed could really kill me instead of pretending it didn’t exist.”

Dean chewed his bottom lip. His hands were clasped behind his head and he shifted a bit, getting comfortable even as his words made it impossible.

“I’d rather not know, I think,” he admitted. “I don’t know if I want to do this the rest of my life. I’d rather be doing something else. Anything else.”

Y/N smiled softly. “And what would you be doing right now if you weren’t stuck on this track?”

He turned his eyes to her. “Honestly?”

She laughed. “Always.”

He took a breath and twisted onto his side, facing her. “I’d take you and run. Get away from everything. Find some place safe, some place that isn’t crawling with evil sons of bitches. Somewhere we could just… live.”

Y/N felt that old familiar ache in her chest and she dropped her chin, tugged on a blade of grass between them. His words soaked into her soul, and she wished more than anything that he was serious, that they could really run away together.

“That’s a nice dream, Dean,” she whispered.

“Yeah…”

There was more to say, more she wanted to tell him, but nothing came out. She was stunned by his hand suddenly on her cheek, his fingers holding her so tentatively.

“Would you?” he asked, eyes locked on hers, lips drawing ever closer.

She was trembling despite the warmth pushing off of him. “Would I what?”

“Run away with me.”

Her eyes fell closed and her stomach fluttered. She leaned in, closing the void between them.

“Yes.”

It wasn’t her first kiss, nor was it his, but the taste of him would linger on her lips forever. The feel of his body rolling over her, pressing her into the ground would live in her head for the rest of her life.

They kissed as the sky darkened; hands fumbling over cotton, lips chasing more. His tongue was hungry, his knee between her legs was like a match igniting everything inside of her.

It was quiet and desperate and clumsy, but it was perfect all the same, and only the fireflies knew.

Dean was fiddling with something on the workbench, his back to the yard. He was sweating in the hot August sun and his gray t-shirt was dark around the collar and under his arms. His jeans were dusty and a greasy handprint painted his back right pocket.

Y/N slapped it when she approached and Dean yelped, jumping off his feet.

“Gah!”

She laughed. “Gotcha.”

He spun around, hands hiding something behind his back. “You sure do…”

Her arms slid up around his neck and he dipped down to kiss her lips. A quick peck that she filled with as much love as she possibly could.

Mama once warned her not to go falling in love with just anyone who winked at her, and not to spend her youth running from one bed to another. She hadn’t understood at the time, but the older she got, the more sense it made.

But sixteen wasn’t too young to fall in love and Dean Winchester wasn’t just anyone.

He pulled back before he wouldn’t be able to any longer. “Wanna run into town tonight? Maybe catch a movie?”

Y/N’s smile fell. “Um…”

Dean searched her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

She took a step back and shifted her weight between each foot. “My dad’s here. He just showed up.”

His face fell. “Oh.”

“He wasn’t supposed to be back for a few weeks, I didn’t know-”

Dean’s jaw tensed and he looked down at his boot; kicked up some dust. “It’s cool.”

Y/N’s chest ached. “I’m sorry, Dean. I want to stay. I want to run away with you but-”

“Hey-” He stopped her, hand raising between them. “It was just a dream.”

Wetness threatened to spill from her eyes. “Yeah, it was.”

He took a breath and pulled his right hand from behind his back. “Made you something,” he said, letting a thin ball chain hang down.

Y/N’s breath was heavy, her smile true. She took the necklace and held it in her palm. The pendant was a thin lug nut, probably something he’d kicked up in the gravel, polished and sanded down a bit.

She laughed sweetly. “It’s…”

He cringed. “Stupid, I know.”

“... it’s perfect, Dean.”

It hung on her neck, dipping down to just above the low cut of her tank top. The metal gleamed in the sun and it burned between them as Dean leaned down for one last kiss.

This moment is when I fell in love with Bleach

I grew up like any other kid listening to stories about princes saving princesses whether by lip raping them or killing some dragons. Then, the guy takes the girl back home as if he did her a favor by saving her life and she doesn't have any other choice but to fall in love with him.

My ten-year-old self found this kind of fairytale ending dubious but thought that this conclusion could make sense in Bleach case : Rukia and Ichigo geniusly enjoyed each other's companionship. If she comes back to the real world, she isn't doing him a favour. She was happy with him.

I was as shocked as Ichigo when Rukia decided to stay in Soul Society.

Rukia who looked sad didn't help my confusion. Her sorrowful expression shows that she was aware that Ichigo wanted her to go back with him and she expected him to be sad by her decision.

Basically, my ten year old self didn't know how to respond to this drama. The only thing that came to my mind was :

Why ? What do you mean ? Please explain? Weren't you happy ?

But before I could voice any of my concern, Ichigo answered her and I made the same suprised face as Rukia.

And that was the moment when Ichigo has become a true hero for me.

It was not when he fought several captains or when he won against 3 lieutenants with bare hands reaching his potentials as a shonen protagonist

It was the moment he decided not to burden Rukia with his feelings.

He taught my ten-year-old self that love whether it is romantic or platonic, should be unconditional.

Love is supporting whatever decision the person you love makes as long as it makes her happy .

Love is about accepting the individuality of the person you love and cherish every side of him even when you can't fully understand his mindset.

The grace that Ichigo displayed for Rukia which equally mirror hers

when she offered her unconditional time to listen to every one of his burdens.

That's why, I will never accept that this manga was intended to end with the conclusion of who por*ked whom and the products of the por*king meeting then that's it. It isn't about which couple is supposed to f***.

It's about being certain that what I felt at that moment when I was ten was real .

The love I felt for Bleach and the love that Ichigo's response inspired me were real.

It was not a lie and it will never be.

#ichiruki #anti bleach ending #I understand what some IR are saying by 'I like IR but I respect the canon'#but I can't relate #I don't respect bs #The Bleach that taught my kid self this lesson that no other fiction did is the only one worthy of my respect

So I've been thinking about the latest Only Friends Episode. Yes, I'm watching it too, I just never talked about it in text form.

Anyway, I still haven't processed this episode because my heart is breaking in every episode when I see Sand's face. And that scene in the end was the icing on the cake and idk how to recover. When is it Sand happy hours, seriously. Every episode he gets dragged along and then pushed aside (sometimes literally *coughepisode6cough*).

Anyway, I've just been thinking about the preview of the next episode. Drama aside with the drugs and whatever happened to Mew there but I was thinking about the choice of dress up for that fancy dress party thing they attend.

First of all Mew and Ray. Mew with that shirt is clearly dressed up as Harley Quinn and after looking at the SandRay scene, Ray's outfit indicates the Joker if I'm correct. So they go as Joker and Harley, which in itself is already a doomed relationship. However, I don't know if the roles should have been reversed. Not because Mew is in his villain era (not that Harley isn't in theory also in a villain era at all times) but because Harley is the one who's always hung up by the Joker and follows him around at all times and tries to make him like her. So in theory Ray should have been Harley. But that's beside the point. What I was thinking is the choice. They chose a doomed relationship of two very f**ked up characters which kinda represents their current situation. Arguably I can understand Ray being the Joker given the origin story and his mental state. Mew is Harley Quinn because she isn't actually a villain but shit drove her the way she is and she's just gone crazy and with Mew starting his villain arc I feel like that fits perfectly.

Now Sand. As I realised after a second glance, and also not shocking, he's dressed as Freddie Mercury who we all know is a very troubled character if you know his life story. Freddie Mercury is a troubled soul who puts up this persona on stage for a little bit, to forget about the troubles in his life. Lady Gaga is the same kind of troubled character and so are a lot of musicians. Sand is also a musician with inner struggles who is a very different and happy person on stage. He smiles on stage and is genuinely carefree when he performs. As soon as he leaves the stage the troubles await. The only other times he smiles is when he's with his mum (who I absolutely ADORE) and his happy moments with Ray (before he gets kicked around and dragged through the mud). The fact that in the preview he is about to kiss another Freddie Mercury dress-up kinda plays on the "You should love yourself" line he said to Ray. I don't know if Sand actually fully loves himself. He doesn't indicate that he doesn't but I don't think he hates himself or the way he is. He is just broken hearted. We don't know all of his life story. We know his dad is not around but, as we found out in this episode as well, he doesn't care about that. His mum is nice and supportive and he has a dream to travel and see all the musicians and be a musician. He has been the most put together character so far in this show (aside of his multiple heartbreaks over Ray and his feud with Top over their ex (which I'm still curious about) and Boston's general assery).

I just find it interesting when you look at the characters they chose to dress up as and how it kinda correlates with their own person. I'm curious what the others are dressed up. I know Top is there but I forgot what he was wearing, if he was even at the party to begin with or just went there later because of drama.

I also find it interesting how Sand saw MewRay but didn't act on it (or at least I think he didn't because we don't know the aftereffect of that but given that he tells Ray he's no rebound and the multiple times he said that he didn't care...which he's lying about but that's why I said he's putting up that persona) but as soon as Sand even lays eyes on someone else (cue to next episodes preview) he gets all possessive and intervenes right away. Which, Ray, baby, I love you, but you're not very subtle about your crush on Sand. Also, the fact that he says, "I can love as many people as I want", yes, you can but don't string them all along. At least before you didn't act on your Mew crush but now you do while also stringing Sand along for your convenience on him being always there for you. They both have feelings, you can't just be selfish and think you can just have them both when you want it and not have one of them (or both) hurt in the process. Again, I love you but I wanna slap some sense into your brain so badly.

I don't know what the point was of this post but ah well.

#dani talks #only friends #ofts #only friends the series #mewray #sandray #only friends mew #yes i'm sand biased #sue me #i ramble #i'm sorry #idk what the point is of this post #i have so many thoughts #ray pakorn #sand

Honestly I fucking hate being alive it always kicks in while I'm driving home or during other moments of peace and beauty but god damn we literally get old and then mom dies and then once you hit a certain age life isn't about us anymore like if you have kids its about them you know. And then you get old and maybe your kids have kids so youre shitty grandpa and your kid is like mom died and the kids are like okay whatever grandma. Its fucked. Its fucked they were people once. Mom is still people so is dad but like grandma grandpa their time is short. And its fine. Its literally not fine. When I realize my grandpa is my moms dad. Like what the fuck. SHE WAS YOUNG AND HAD PARENTS JUST LIKE ME. Like isnt it fu ked up and now I'm me and it's my story. Literally just describing how life works but it freaks me the fuck out. We need to put a stop to this people my age are having kids and shit and one day theyll be shitty grandma and die and it wont even matter. Its fucking me up big time. For grandma to die your mom lost her mom isnt it fucked. You lose your mom too. Or she loses you man it's all over. It's all so pointlessly cruel. And its supposed to be fine aeound a certain age cause duh nobodys like a billion years old. Well it will never be fine. But its fine cause we can't put a stop to this without killing literally everything at the same time so no one notices everyone else is dead so there's no net sadness

so! mc!Dandy backstory for you:

she's a changeling, so. her story obviously starts out with her (unfortunately) replacing someone's baby. they were an infant themself, so this wasn't a choice they just made themself. this fact is also something that's just kinda. f**ked them up their whole life.

he never knew he was a changeling until he was about seven years old (two years pre-abandonment). up until that point, all it knew was that people treated it a bit weird, but it didn't think that anything was really...wrong, y'know? and then xe is hit with a rather heart-shattering revelation:

not only are people treating xem differently because xe is a changeling, but people have treating xem differently because they view xem as a freak. like a monster.

people haven't just been acting weird around them, they've been walking on eggshells around them.

you see, different places have different opinions on the Fae, and thus also on changelings. some places have generally positive views on the Fae, and are just careful when interacting with them. others...they pretty much view faeries as beings that can and will gladly wreck your s**t if you're not extremely careful. (which. yeah, some function like that, but not all are like that)

take a wild guess which one was the village Dandy grew up in. guess.

anyway, that news pretty much changed her. she tried showing that she meant no harm. but nothing 100% worked. she wanted to prove that she wasn't a danger, that she was practically a regular child.

it never worked.

when he was nine, he was cast off into the woods by fed-up parents, still upset at the loss of their real child, and told to return to the Fae Realm with the rest of his kind, believing it would cause the return of their real child (and who knows, maybe it did, maybe it didn't).

when they were nine years old, attempting to do just that, they were turned away by their own kind, told that they were too "tainted," and left in that forest, rejected by the human family that raised them and the Fae as well. and no home to return to.

it gets a new outfit, cuts it's hair, and goes to travel the world. to find a home.

anyway, mc!Dandy my beloved <3

Oughhgjhh i love her i want to give xem a hug, i love the thought youve put into their backstory and the reflections of actual folklore - its so cool youre so big brained

An interesting connection ive made is how dandy and doc parallel eachother, doc found himself a family to protect and made a home... only to have it ripped away, fae has since traveled in search of faers family

Voi found a new place voi might like to call home but lost that too in voids search

The fact that dandy wasnt allowed a family or home so xe work to find one mirrors so well with doc getting his home and family taken away and his search for them

Both are stuck in the past thats wronged them but one looks for something theyve never had and the other looks for what they lost, which in turn stops them from seeing what they have

Idk does that make sense? Its just so cool

#mc!dandy my beloved #minesona talk #in conclusion i love them your honor

oh, babe. I have random ideas that I do not develop AT ALL and just write some choice emotional/porn bits for, that's not the same thing as having numerous bodies of work.

And I'm cool with that, because that is literally 100% of the reason I started this blog. I needed to try and teach myself how to write without editing it to death, which was downright fucking terrifying when I first started doing it and only mildly frightens me now.

That's what everything on this blog is, literally unfiltered stream of consciousness, but it's what I needed to learn how to do because I have a well-documented and pathological tendency to just rewrite the same thing over and over again because it's never good enough in my eyes

When it comes to actual finished works, I have very few. FAC is the first big project I took on since I was a teenager and look at it now, absolutely fucking unfinished. The project that will haunt me to the end of time.

But I'm trying to get better. At the beginning of January, I told Ked I wanted to have a writing schedule and because she is an unstoppable force of nature and also a goddamn angel, she agreed to take up the task of herding me.

Most nights at 6:30, I get a message from her that simply says "it's time," and that's my cue to stop whatever I'm doing and try to write something. It was really fucking hard at first, but here we are 7 months in and it's finally getting easier.

The goal we somehow came to is 400 words, which was apparently Terry Pratchett's daily goal. Sometimes it's hard to get there and sometimes it's really easy, but it's doable and that's the important bit.

But sometimes, even though it's doable, I don't get there. Sometimes I've had the shittiest day and even though I want to, my brain just isn't in it. Sometimes I'm so goddamn tired because my anxiety meds fuck with my ability to sleep and sleep aids only help so much.

I hate myself for not being able to commit in those times, because dumbly, I feel like I'm letting Ked down. But Ked never makes me feel like I'm letting her down. She'll just commiserate with me, or if she feels I've gone too long without writing, she'll say, "Just think about the story for 15 minutes and then you've done what you need to for the day."

I think the BIGGEST thing--the thing that honestly has fucking helped more than anything--is through this whole process, Ked has taught me to be kind to myself.

It's not the end of the world if I don't write every day, as long as I don't make it a habit of not writing, and whatever the fuck I manage to do, whether it's a hundred words or a thousand, it's something to celebrate because it's better than continually writing nothing at all

So, like. Just be kind to yourself. If you're not writing, it's for a reason. And if that reason is simply only "I'm out of practice," well then find you a friend like Ked and let them herd you.

That only really works if you're willing to submit to someone else's authority, though, and luckily for everyone involved in my life, I might be a brat, but I'm a people-pleasing brat so I allow myself to be herded most days.

I just, you know. Complain about it loudly, too.

#nani asks #greenberg replies #i don't know if this helped at all but i hope it did #it's okay if you don't write lots of stuff #sometimes life is fucking hard #but if you wanna try to get into a better habit: good news! it's possible!#Ked tricked me into DEVELOPING A STORY #I HAVE A SCRIVENER PROJECT NOW #WITH A KIND OF OUTLINE?#idk man anything even marginally resembling an outline is a fucking FEAT for me. i fucking hate outlines #ked is a terrifyingly competent individual #i'm glad she's on my side

uh, okay. i'm very scared to ask but : rabbit that's not really a rabbit...?

yeah, there's, like. a small god, shaped like a rabbit, that lives in my yard. I would say it's a normal rabbit except it's not. It won't move from my driveway if I'm trying to drive out and it was there first. I can walk up within a few feet of it, and it will turn and just look at me like what do you want? It's the only rabbit that freaks the hell out of all my birds, they CANNOT be directed or communicated with when this rabbit comes around, they will do nothing but stand on alert and stare at it making a soft warning call. I've caught it SEVERAL times now standing nose to nose with one of my peacocks, and it just looks at me and walks away when I catch them. hawks and falcons and eagles and owls constantly pass over my yard, and it is full of rabbits that do not hide from them, and I've never seen evidence of one being taken. You know the moment you walk into a very dark room and maybe it's a room you've been in before and maybe you don't believe in ghosts, but also it's still dark and your little leftover lizard hindbrain goes "anything could be inside of here waiting for me" the second before you turn on the light? It's like that feeling, except in the shape of a rabbit. i didn't ask for any of that.

#rabbits #asks #anon asks #horror #it's not like I'm going to kick it out #but that rabbit is absolutely not my business #the studio ghibli effect where your whole body fluffs up in fear #is what i wish I could do when I realize oh It's You again #stories about ked's life

Saw the post about “mirror girl” sending very personal details about Noah in a group chat. Can 100% confirm that it is true, my friend was in that group chat (friend is heavily on Twitter and was always on Noah’s streams) and she was sharing photos, talking about his sexual preferences and also name dropping him all over her Twitter. Saying he threatened and all this toxic stuff. He found out about all of it and blocked her.

She did this to herself by sharing that personal photo in the first place. Imagine inviting someone INTO YOUR HOME and them sharing photos, and treating you like that??? And then for her to go talk to the Noah Rare blog was weird. Idk about you all, but that would hurt me a lot.

Even her telling that personal story about him not talking and asking for a kiss or whatever is GROSS to do. And claiming that he wrote songs about her is insane. She can blame her mental health all she wants but that’s really f**ked up to do that.

I have met Noah on several occasions at shows before BO was big and he’s a really nice guy, nobody deserves that treatment, especially him.

Hia anon!

Thanks for sharing this. The girl has done pretty bad shit! Noah deserves better and I'm glad he kicked her out of his life.

Now, girls listen! By no means I'm saying being curious is wrong and yeah at some point we all wanted to see how this girl looked like etc, but the thing is she really crossed the like and the last thing I want to do is giving her more attention after what's she's done. So, I'd say it's time for us to just move on.

Tourniquet - Chapter Ten (Finale)

Supernatural Dean x Reader Series Told Backwards

Please see MASTERLIST for full info/warnings/chapter links.

At First Sight

There was a field behind the junkyard, a wide-open space not yet overtaken by rusted car skeletons and twisted metal. The grass grew high above her head, and in the spring, bluebells and tiny purple flowers bloomed, peppering the space with joyful color.

She first saw him there, peeking at her through the tall grass. He was taller than the weeds, so much taller than she was; older too, by a few years, it seemed. But he was beautiful and she knew it.

She’d seen beautiful people in her nearly eight years on earth- her mother who had just died, and her younger sister who went with her. She’d seen mountains covered in autumn mist; country roads slicked with rain. She’d felt the sun in the desert; tracked a rainbow across the sky. There were so many pretty things in the world that she was just learning to appreciate, but she’d never seen something like him before.

She’d never seen green eyes that glowed golden in the sunlight, cheeks sparkled with freckles, hair a soft brown somewhere between straw and bark.

When he spoke, her cheeks heated up. When he grabbed her hand through the grass, her stomach flipped.

“What’s your name?” he asked, pulling her into a run through the brush.

“Y/N!” She laughed as he tugged her along, running so fast he nearly lifted her off her feet.

The sky was perfectly blue, not a cloud to be seen.

He looked back over his shoulder, face haloed by the June sun.

“I’m Dean,” he said with a smile.

They ran to the edge of the property, stopping short of where they weren’t allowed to go. There was a stream that hugged the line, a shallow creek, not more than ankle deep and wide enough for Dean to straddle with his bowed legs. He put one foot on either side and reached for her hand.

“Come on, it’s fun.”

Y/N hesitated, watching from the left bank.

“Daddy says I’m not to go past the water,” she explained, looking back toward the house. They were far enough away that the rickety roof wasn’t visible, but she knew the woods, she’d grown up running through Bobby’s legs, hiding in the car graveyard, lying in the warm grass.

Dean craned his neck to look around her. He shrugged. “Don’t see your dad anywhere.” Again, he reached for her and smiled. “I won’t tell if you don’t.”

Nervously, she took his hand and Dean helped her down into the riverbed. She toed off her grass-stained white Keds and chewed her lip.

“You sure you won’t get me in no trouble?”

He laughed sweetly and lifted a finger to his chest. “Cross my heart and hope to die!” He placed an X on his thread-worn tee and she gave in.

Her toes skirted the water and Dean helped her step over it.

“You shouldn’t hope to die,” she warned. “The ghosts might hear and come get you.”

They hopped to the other side and perched on a big rock, just wide enough for two children to sit on together. Their shoulders bumped and Y/N’s stomach twisted up funny again.

“Ain’t no ghosts here,” he assured her. “My dad would know. He’s the best hunter there is.”

Y/N squinted up at him, unsure.

“Besides,” Dean went on, bending to pick up a pebble near his foot. “You think Bobby would let his place be haunted? Bobby knows everythin’ about everythin’. No way he’d let some nasty ghost bother us. You’re safe.”

She crossed her arms over her chest, hugging her fear. “You sure, Dean?”

He tossed the pebble into the stream and a ripple pulsed over the surface.

“I’m sure.” Dean threw his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer. “I’ll protect you. I promise.”

She didn’t know why, but she believed him. There was something about him that seemed magical, like he was a superhero or something. She sighed against him and put her head on his shoulder.

They sat and watched the water for a while. Now and then a leaf would float by, or a few tadpoles would appear. It was quiet and peaceful and the wind was warm.

When the daylight began to fade, they left the stream behind and stepped into the grass again. He held her hand and swatted away the weeds, making a path for them.

“Are you stayin’ up in the house?” she asked, hoping he wasn’t leaving anytime soon. It was boring being alone even though she found things to do, but with her dad off on a job, it had been just her and Uncle Bobby for a few weeks.

“Yeah. Just a few days. Gonna head to Kentucky next.”

“I’ve never been there.”

Dean shrugged. “It’s OK.”

The grass gave way to gravel and Dean let her hand go once they could see the house in the distance.

“Have you been here a while?” he asked, sneakers kicking up dust as he shuffled beside her, hands jammed into his pockets.

She exhaled sadly and nodded. “Yeah. My mom just…and… and Jackie, my sister. They…”

Dean paused and turned, looking down at her and leaning on a broken Oldsmobile. “Mine too,” he said softly. “I mean, my mom- she uh- well, it was a long time ago.” He kicked at a stone and it rolled a few feet away.

“I’m sorry.”

He smiled gently. “It gets better after a while, ya know..”

Tears prickled her eyes, her bottom lip trembled. “Does it really?”

Dean looked away, pretending to count the row of cars to their right. “No,” he whispered. “Not really.”

An ache pulsed in her chest and she felt sorry for him, for both of them. She could see the tears in his eyes as surely as she felt her own, and she slipped her tiny hand in his, squeezing tight.

“We’ll be OK, Dean,” she said, trying her best to believe it. “You’ll see.”

Sniffling hard, he beat back the tears and took a breath.

“Hey, you smell that?”

Confused, she took a deep breath and her stomach growled loudly. “Burgers?”

He grinned. “Burgers!”

They ran through the junkyard, carefully maneuvering through the jagged steel and dodging each other as dusk settled over Sioux Falls.

She didn’t know why, but she felt like he was it. He was the thing that would keep her going, the friend she needed right then, get her through the pain and the confusion.

The boy with the green eyes.

The Last Sun: Prologue/Chapter 1

The Last Sun! Here we go!!

I started this series (like a week ago) after finding a rec for it on Instagram. The only thing they said about it was "It's about a prince whose throne is brutally taken from him," and then a bit about him having a body guard and it being a queer found family book. I'll give you a little more info that won't spoil anything. It takes place on an island city called New Atlantis, and yes that's because there was an Old Atlantis. It's ruled by a series of courts that are named after the major arcana in tarot (or vise versa in this scenario)

Prologue

The prologue is very short, just a small intro for Rune Saint John, our protag. He talks about how he survived the fall of his House and this is where my first gut punch of the series happened, because I did not equate "having a throne brutally taken" to mean "brutal assault" which is the wording he uses.

"I am, before anything else, a survivor: of a fallen House, of a brutal assault, of violent allies and complacent enemies, of life among a people who turned their back on me decades ago."

Then he lists some of the not so great names people call him. the Catamite Prince, the Day Prince, the Prince of Ruin.

"I am the last scion of my dead father's dead court, once called the Sun Throne, brightest of all Arcana, now just so much ash and rubble"

It's really so short, I'm trying to not copy the whole thing, but it does set the mood very well. Things aren't great, there aren't a lot of people Rune can trust. All his family is gone and he's left with the ashes of a broken court.

Chapter 1: The Heart Throne

We open with an insufferable rich man regaling people with a tale of kicking a woman to the curve. He calls this woman, "a wrecked parasite," and Rune notes he has an Old Atlantean accent, pronouncing the word 'wrecked' as reck ked. "Cleaving it into two waspish syllables."

After flicking a shrimp tail into a potted plant and completely forgetting any manners he ever learned and wiping his mouth on his sleeve, we find out that he is at a very fancy party. We also quickly become aware that Rune hates, hates, hates where he is. The room is the size of a football field, it's two stories tall and nearly all windows that over look the ocean and giant gilded mirrors. There are tables of drinks, things that look like drinks but are mostly illusions, tables of pills in every color imaginable. And a bunch of servants who are described as, "young, drugged, and blankly beautiful."

"There was a forty man chamber orchestra; a woman with flames dancing across the enamel of her teeth; a young page who chilled people's drinks with a spell that left frostbite on his palms"

Frostbite on his palms! For a drink! Rune is very upset by all of this, and yeah, so I am. But he puts this aside because he is part of raid on this house. As he waits he gives the earpiece he's wearing a little flick, because he, 'misses Brand'.

"It's working," he snapped, his voice a tinny echo inside my head. "Calm the fuck down."

I really do love them. When I first read this I assumed Brand must be stationed somewhere where he could see what was going on. How else would he know that Rune was flicking the equipment, or is agitated by the things around him? You learn in a few more paragraphs what exactly a companion bond is. Brand was born human and as a baby was put in the crib with baby Rune, some words were spoken over them (they weren't separated for like five years after that*) and a mental bond was formed between them where they can feel each other's emotions and know when the other is nearby.

As Rune is pushed through the current of party goers he ends up in front of a set of windows facing the ocean. He has a moment of remembering a time on the beach when the sun was out, of warm weather and soft white sand. Then he hears a woman talking about the night that his House was attacked. She's wearing at least 12 sigils (items that are able to contain magic) we learn they are very valuable, rare, and that most scions of courts keep them filled with frivolous spells that enhance beauty.

This woman is talking to a group of younger scions telling them about the night when the Sun Throne fell. About how she was there, at the current residence, when it happened. How they didn't hear anything. That the attackers had stealth wards. No one found out until it was too late. But quickly she turns to the topic of the Heir scion, which is probably how most accounts of that night go. She says that he was the only survivor, that seven men in masks took him a shed while the attack was going on.

"and by gods, the things they did to that poor boy. They had him for hours before he escaped."

I have wondered and wondered throughout the books just how much of it was reported to the public. We never learned what details were released. Only that they get some of it wrong.

She goes on to say that one can still find him, Rune, wandering around now and then,

"A very, very pretty man, but rank with darkness. It precedes him like a fog."

She claims to be able to see this miasma, because she has seers blood. She then calls Rune the Catamite Prince, and implies it's because Rune has had 'relations' with someone called the Tower. Rune, hearing all of this, livid, approaches the woman, and has a little fun, saying that he is also a seer. The woman is intrigued and we learn two things, one, Rune is wearing a disguise that makes him look like a blond man. And two, most important, Rune is short. the eyes of the nondescript blond man illusion are somewhere in the vicinity of his forehead. Rune says that he sees this woman "crawling in a field of blood and char with bone shards in her hair".

He's furious as he walks away and, somewhere else, Brand is worrying about him

"To hell with her. To hell with her sigils, her fat fingers, her crowd of stupid boot-lickers. To hell with the Lovers and their Heart Throne and their drugged slaves. To hell with nine men in animal masks in a carriage house, and all the other stupid details people got wrong."

Brand is very worried and threatens to come down there to him. And it is a threat, because that's the only love language Brand knows. Rune takes a moment to cool down because his love language is trying to make people feel better.

"my Companion, born human and bonded with me in the crib, raised and trained to protect me. And he had. He'd saved me-saved us both-that night."

Rune gets his calm back, says he was upset because he hates seers, especially fake seers, which are both things Brand knows. Then Brand brings up a hitch in the plans, and enter Julia, whose name Brand cannot remember.

During the raid Rune is supposed to go to a lab in the building, only they just learned that the labs have different security. Now Rune has to find a keycard to get through the security. But it's okay!!! Julia looked into who is on the floor that night with access, and all Rune has to do is find the red haired man by the doors who is about 6ft tall. Only to find the door and there are three tall red haired guys.

One is obvious high, staring at his hands as he sways, the rainbow residue of the pill buffet on his lips. So Rune turns his attention to the other two men, employing all his stealth training to do so.

By finding the drunkest man in the vicinity, telling him that a red haired man by the door said he was out back giving a horse a blow job a while go, and standing back to watching the fight ensue. The man the drunk guy picks is not a fighter. He does little more than try and keep the drunk man off of him, the other red haired guy though watches the fight in a calm and assessing manner, his body turned and poised in case the fight moved to him.

Rune gets a warning from Brand just before a spell rocks through the ballroom and everyone but the four people on the floor that are part of the raid go down. Rune walks over and plucks the keycard from the guard and moves through the residence towards the lab. As he moves through the mansion the halls go from opulent to grey and sterile.

We learn a bit about Atlantean culture in this part. That the Heart Throne, ruled by Lady and (now dead) Lord Lovers, used to be an archetype of love and sex and all that good stuff. They had been important to their society as Atlanteans are very big on group marriages and love no matter someones gender. That strictly homosexuality or heterosexuality were both seen as odd. After the fall of the Atlantis homeland some courts (like the Heart Throne) turned to twisted ventures that put the whole of their society at risk of compromising their treaties with the humans. And so, twelve of the Arcana had agreed to this raid. Every Arcana that participated in the raid would get a share of the spoils.

Which is why Rune is there.

Rune has a pretty kickass weapon that is able to take the shape of anything he wants. And, it shoots fire. It was one of the few things that survived the attack on the Sun Throne.

"I shook my wrist. My sabre, now in the form of a scuffed gold wrist guard, stretched and slid over my knuckles. By the time it was in my palm, it had transmuted into a swordless hilt."

Brand and Julia chatter a bit, they tell Rune that Lady Lovers is not accounted for down in the ballroom, they can't confirm she's even on site.

There are seven mercenaries by a locked door contemplating blowing the door down until Rune shows up with the keycard and lets them all into the area where the labs are kept. Rune makes for a chemical lab, thinking it will be less fortified, he just needs to get a terminal to download something for current employer, Lord Tower.

"The operating system was reportedly the closet thing in development to an actual artificial intelligence; the Tower had cashed in a lot of favors to stake it during the raid."

This is a little tidbit I didn't hang onto in my first read. The Tower has this almost AI, I wonder what he's planning to do with it?

There are two men in the lab he enters, they were not effected by the spell. They are pale and shaking and holding a lamp and stapler as weapons. When Rune brings up how ridiculous this is, since they are in a lab full of caustic things, the oldest of the scientist grabs a silver letter opener and holds it against the neck of the younger scientist. He then tries to barter for his life by threatening to kill the intern.

There is some back and forth where the scientist tries to claim that they are innocent and totally not slavers, but that Run should still let them go or he's going to kill the intern. Which Rune responds to by, shooting the intern in the leg.

Rune pops in his USB drive and downloads the files he needs. Claiming that his knowledge of technology and computers is just being able to avoid spyware on porn sites

As it's downloading the scientist tries to guilt Rune about what's going on, that they were just trying to find someone to pin this on to make the humans happy. Phrased in way that heavily implies that because they are Atlantean, they should be above such things as human laws. Rune asks if he were involved in Project Laius, when the scientist quickly shuts up Rune takes that for a yes and shoots him in the head.

"The stuff that began with projects like Laius had ended with the mind-fucking of underage kids, who spent the rest of their miserable lives in dog collars as someone else's property. So I did what I did, and my conscience whistled."

When he leaves the room Brand is throwing a fit. It turns out that they didn't just lose signal for the earpiece, but that Brand couldn't even feel their bond when Rune was in that room. Reports come that people are starting to wake up in the ballroom and that he needs to get out quick. There's a little fight with Julia, who, much respect for her, but she needed to take a step back here, tries to direct Rune as though he were one of the mercenaries she's used to directing, and tells him to abandon their plan to evac on the roof.

"Mind your fucking manners," Brand said, all humor evaporating. "He's not one of your mercenaries; he's a scion of Atlantis. If it was a question about needing safe routes, I'd have him turn the entire side of the mansion to slag and gingerly fucking tiptoe through the puddles of plasma."

Have I mentioned that I love Brand?

On the roof there is a man who pops out right in front of Rune with an assault riffle, whose head Brand immediately blows off from his perch in a water tower close by.

"When I could breathe again, I said, "I especially liked it when you didn't warn me. That part was fun.""

Followed quickly an actual dragon swooping by. But the dragon is part of Lord Chariots raid team, and does nothing to hinder Rune. Brand is yelling at Rune to get the fuck off the root NOW. Because assault riffles and dragons weren't bad enough, Lady Lovers rushes by and opens a secret door right next to Rune's secret hidey spot. Ignoring Brand, Rune decides to follow her. I mean, her House is getting raided and she takes time to rush up there, I too would assume there was treasure of some sort in there.

So Rune walks through the door, and is instantly knocked out.

He wakes up chained to a wall, unable to activate his sigils and his disguise temporarily disengaged. Elena, Lady Lovers, recognizes him, of course.

""Faith, but you are a very pretty thing, Lord Sun. Hasn't it even been said that you are the most beautiful man of your gener-" "That'll be enough of that, thank you," I said testily."

First instance of the beautiful prophecy!

They have a bit of back and forth in which Rune tries to remember to be polite to an Arcana while still pointing out that she deserves this. Arcana are very very old and powerful. In a city of magic users, they are demi gods pretty much. And now I'm wondering if Lord Lovers was an Arcana too...What house was he from? Was he a principality? (That'll be explained later) Something to think about.

When she finds out that it is 12 Arcana against her, a surprisingly high number for a sanctioned raid, evidently. Her demeanor changes. She releases Rune from the wall, his sigils flood back to his awareness once released. She tries to makes a connection between this raid and the one that happened to Rune's House, he is, of course, very angry. But, demi god, so he keeps it to himself.

Elena goes to her magic mirror and is able to use it to look onto the battle raging below

"To each age, a magic ascends. Death magic ruled the final days of the homeland. Hearth magic ruled the rise of New Atlantis. I had thought, perhaps, the lovers' time had come, that the age of heart magic was upon us."

Yeeaaahhh, from what we've seen "heart magic" is just fucking with people's minds and enslaving them. So, kinda glad that isn't the case.

At least she admits that things were wrong in the end, and that she should have released the Throne to someone else once her husband died. He was her Talla, soulmate, and she had only had the one consort ever. Which is very, very odd for their culture.

"In Atlantean terms, soul mates weren't always a cozy and romantic concept. Hatred was just as strong as love, in terms of metaphysical catalyst."

I need to go back to add Tallas to my list of things I'm going to be keeping an eye on. I have a THEORY!!! I'll add that after I'm finished here, I want to keep these relatively spoiler free for the whole series.

Almost immediately after reminiscing about her talla, Lady Lovers taps into her aspect. Sort of like the primal soul of an Arcana's powers. The demi gods within them, if you will. Hers is fea-ish. It's terrifying. Her fingers add another joint, her skin beings to mottle in jewel tones that moved as she moves. She has hornets wings and her dress is made of rose petal. Suddenly her scent (musk, honey, semen) is very powerful and her magic causes Rune to fall to the floor with an erection. It would be kinda funny, but the scene is suitably horrific.

""I would beg a favor, pretty Rune. I swear by the river the answer will be your own.---I ask that you deliver, and protect, a package of mine to a safe destination.""

In return for this favor, which she swears is nothing illegal, she will give him a sigil. A silver ring with three chips of emerald in it. Sigils are so rare and Rune has so few of his own, that after getting her promise that it isn't going to get him in trouble, he agrees. She releases the sigil to him and then she tells him the package will be delivered to his house and that he should hurry on so he isn't, "caught in the fire".

Rune gets out of there as quickly as he can, Brand is yelling again once he gets out, having lost all contact with Rune while he was in the warded secret room. Rune finally imparts that there is a bomb and using a gold chain sigil around his ankle, released a flying spell. He wobble-flies to the water tower to pick up Brand, depositing him by Brand's motorcycle to tell him about the deal, and his new sigil. Brand is upset, and they wait for a little bit to see if they mansion explodes....

it does not.

They drive home separately. Brand speeding off on his bike, Rune in his beat up old Saturn. He's nearly home when there is a large CRACK back near the Lover's compound and the sky behind him fills with fire and smoke. I would like to take the time to point out that Rune had "Foreseen" that the fake seer at the party would find herself struggling in a field of blood and char with bone shards in her hair. I wonder if that did in fact come to be?

At the door to their house Brand calls Rune a fucking dumb-ass and takes up the argument on having made a deal with an Arcana as though there was no time between. But he does calm down and ask if Run is okay after the fake seer incident.

They go in and Rune stops, because their house keeper, Queenie, always leaves cookies and juice out for them after their missions, and there is no cookies or juice on the coffee table when they come in. So Brand goes to check on her.

"He went in search of our housekeeper, Queenie, who lived in a tiny cottage in the backyard. Normally she laid out fruit drinks and snacks after a successful job, her small way of celebrating the fact that she was still employed."

I know I just said I wanted to keep this spoiler free, and it is, pretty much. BUT! what are they paying her with? How much? How can they afford a housekeeper?

Rune sits down and takes off his boots, telling us that they are warded and perfected fitted to his feet, and that he mostly doesn't wear socks with them. Gross. Brand enters and is followed closely by Queenie

"Her plain face swung side to side in a nonstop headshake. She said, "You took in a seventeen year-old boy?"

That's all we learn about her appearance. That she looks plain.

Rune is dumbfounded, because he does NOT remember taking in a child. But Brand, livid, and probably a little amused, let's be honest. Informs Rune that the "package" Rune agreed to take and "deliver" is in fact, a seventeen year-old boy. And the destination is his age of adulthood, twenty one.

And that is the end of the first chapter.

*this little bit of knowledge comes from a supplemental story you can download on the author's website. It's a four page PDF file and it's just a snippet of Rune and Brand as babies. And now that I'm thinking about it the tidbit that they weren't separated until the age of five might be something from another supplemental story. This is about what would have been their first instructor trying to separate them as toddlers. Neither of them can really speak, so it's told by their governess, Lady Patience (Look, if K D Edwards isn't a fan of Realm of the Elderlings I will eat everyone's hat! Lady Patience, Lady Amber, the Fool! If Francis isn't a Fitz stand in I will riot!)

It opens with baby Rune standing up in the crib, yelling about how Brand (he sits in the corner, well he sits where he wants but he always gives me the blanket and he's gone. And he took the orange rattle!) is missing. He's always been there for their whole lives and suddenly his Brand is missing. Lady Patience, not knowing how to calm him, goes in search of the instructor and Brand, to find baby Brand standing in a chair, brandishing the rattle, which is made of some pretty expensive material, at the instructor. He is also grumbling in a baby way because he too, can't really speak.

The instructor is displeased with the behavior going on here. He wants Brand out of the house, pretty much. Right around that time the door starts rattling, amber light filters in from under the door and it, kinda implodes inwards. Baby Rune is standing on the other side of the door, eyes glowing, and demands, "Band-aid!" Which is his word for Brand. Brand happily tottles over, hugs Rune and then proceeds to poke his nose to see if he can make it glow too.

The instructor is raging about how they need to be separated immediately, but is cut off by a tower of sunlight that stands in the doorway. Rune's father, Lord Sun. Even after he stops being on fire, no one can actually see what he looks like, only sunspots. He leans down and scoops both Rune and Brand up at once. Saying that he had to learn to pick them up at the same time, because they cried when they were picked up separately. He fires the instructor and walks off with "his boys".

It's really such a sweet story.

After Everything movie. Or how to ruin a franchise.

I was glad when I learned we will have a fifth movie. Less when I saw the trailer. Much more less when I watched the movie. It is a disaster. Why did they do this?

After is about the story of Tessa and Hardin (Hessa). Not only one of them but both of them together. In the trailer itself After We Collided, Hardin confirms it:

"This is our story. Tessa's and mine."

Nevertheless the fifth movie ruined the franchise. A complete disrespect to Anna Todd (who wrote the books), Josephine Langford (the main actress) and the fans.

**Possible Spoilers**

After Everything could have been the opportunity to see them:

- Meeting once and for all at Landon and Nora's wedding, - Settling together in an apartment in Brooklyn, - Trying to have a baby (fertility appointments and ovulation schedules), - Losing a baby at three months pregnant and to see how they handled this, - Becoming the parents of Emery and Auden.

I would have loved to see the scene where Hardin teach at Emery’s elementary school. (Even if he quitted after three days). To see him evolve as a successful writer as well as to see him in the relationship with his two fathers (Ken and Christian).

And notably also Tessa's career development: Leaving Vance again and her job as a waitress to go back to New York University before to become a wedding planner.

Non-exhaustive list. And everything I just mentioned is in the books.

The good thing about the film is that we see Hardin suffering from blank page syndrome. This actually could have been a good start before Hessa’s reunion.

Someone on Instagram suggested the couple could have returned to the lake with their children. If only. Just imagine the scene with the music by Justin Burnett.

Instead we got a movie about Natalie and Hardin. Natalie who appears what? Two or three pages in the books set. A girl who never was a love interest for Hardin. She was only a girl with who he had sex for a night, years ago. That is all!

In the book After We Collided, chapter forty-one, Hardin explains to Tessa:

I had a group of shitty friends back home. […] We would pick a girl for one another, and see who could f*** their girl first. When James saw the video of her (where Hardin f**ked her) he wanted to f** her himself. And when she turned him down, he showed everyone the video. And also: She was not a virgin.

When the video leaked of them having sex, in After Everything he is pissed off whereas it is absolutely not the case in the books. He himself admits to Tessa:

It was fun to me ... Well, not exactly fun but I did not care.

In the books, when Hardin meets Natalie, it happens, I do not know, two or three years after he did what he did to her. But she is still living in London, not in Lisbon. She has been engaged for two years to Elijah, pregnant and happy. She has no rancor against him when they meet around two minutes in the street.

She takes him in her arms and tells him she alrealdy forgave him. End of the story.

He did not buy her a house as he did in the movie. What is wrong with the writers?

Natalie is on screentime around 80%. They use what they shot of Hessa for the end of the fourth movie to finish this movie. They use Josephine’s face to sell After 5.

In the book After Ever Happy, chapter sixty-two, Hessa did a break.

During this time, Tessa starts a new life in New York while Hardin worked on himself to be a better person. He stops drinking and fighting. He went to see a doctor (a mental health professional) and went to Alcoholics Anonymous. He did not stop when they splits again when she discovers his book which tells their story.

In the book Before by Anna Todd, part three, we can read:

"He was finally becoming the man he had never known he could be. His rage was channeled into his writing and he was becoming proud of the person he was. Tessa was the only reason his life turned out this way. He would fall at her knees and thank her every second if he could. [...] The two years they spent apart were not easy: Hell for her, eternal purgatory for him. […] He had an imaginary life with her and was waiting for her to come around and make it a reality. Seeing it as his only hope for a good life, he continued to show her that he was a better person than he used to be."

This is absolutely not what we see in the movie After Everything. All the things with Natalie, Lisbon are just craps. In the first book, when Hardin kisses Tessa for the first time, he never looked or slept or desired or flirted at another girl despite their splits. Yet in this fifth film, he fantasizes about the stewardess. Seriously?

In the book After Ever Happy, chapter seventy-one, Hardin confesses to Tessa: I have craved you every second of every f**king day. You have no idea how many times I have thought of you. [...] He writes in his first book (chapter seventy-five):

"She has to know that he has not given up. Tessa has to know that this man will always love her, and that he will be waiting for her for the rest of his life, whether she returns to it or not. He wants her to know that she was his savior and that he could never repay her for everything she has done for him and that he loves her with his entire soul and nothing will ever change that."

So, I do not understand the script of After Everything. Especially since the ending with the reunion with Tessa and Hardin is very and completely botched.

youtube

Here is what happens, for example, in the book that we do not see:

At Landon and Nora's wedding, Hardin volunteers to accompany Tessa in the procession. And seeing him, she fights against her feelings.

As they go up the nave, they talk about the wedding decoration. Hardin teases Tessa about Robert. The latter is not her boyfriend but only a constant friend. Tessa teases Hardin with Eliza, a fan-turned-stalker. We also learn that Hardin has kept in touch with Carol (Tessa's mother) and that she came to a book signing.

In the film, this scene is summed up with:

- You really do have an eye for this stuff. - Thank you.

It is like that in all the following scenes.

Hardin finds Tessa in women’s bathroom, when she takes off his jacket, he asks her: Are you sure? She replies: I am always sure with you. He questions her the last time she had sex. For both of them, it was with each other. (In fact, they have never had other partners.) Really?, he queries. Yes, no one else. Only you.

He discovers that she is not wearing any panties. Tessa justifies that she had no choice with this dress. He exclaims: You are going to be the death of me, woman.

In the film, this is summed up as: Are you sure? She nods her head and they make love. (By respecting more or less few dialogues before and after this scene.)

It is true that this was already the case for the first four films.

The only difference is that this one is the last one. This ending is unfortunately a waste and that in my opinion it ruins the franchise. It is a disappointment.

It is sad, they do not shot scenes we can read at the end of After Ever Happy.

I think of the moment when Tessa tells Hardin the news, she is pregnant:

- Hi, baby, Hardin said into her skin. - Hi, Daddy, she whispered back to him. - Daddy, huh? His voice was thick, and she giggled, a silly and out-ofplace laugh. - Not the Daddy you are thinking of. Pervert.

I wish they wrote the scenes that I mention at the beginning of this post. And they write who did not exist in the book. For example about the first time Tessa and Hardin feel the baby kick or that they held their baby in their arms for the first time.

Getting pregnant took a long time for Hessa. The doctor said to Tessa: Not impossible, but highly unlikely. There were disappointments (negative pregnancy tests) and pain (miscarriage). I think it asks around three years to conceive Emery.

I am sad they do not shot the cute scene where their daughter Emery, 6 years old, slammed her bedroom door and Hardin goes to talk to her :

- What is going on with you, little one? - Addy is being a brat. I do not want to be her friend anymore. [...] - You have to learn to accept Addy and the way she can be a brat sometimes, the way that Mommy accepted Daddy being a brat sometimes. - You are a brat, too? her little voice questioned. [...]

I think also about a scene at the end of the book Before, after Auden's birth:

- I know this part of the novel. This is where you give me the heroic husbandly speech about how I earned my scars and I am much more beautiful for having done so. - No, Tess, this is where I show you how I feel when I look at you.

Instead, the writers decided to rewrite part of the story, invent ridiculous scenes in complete contradiction to the books. Above all, they made a more than secondary character, a suddenly important or even essential character for this last film.

During the two years break up, Hardin lives in Chicago (US) in the books whereas he lives at Camden (UK) in the movie. Why did they rewrite this? I do not know.

During this same break up, Tessa and Hardin always stayed in contact. They saw each other six times in the books. In the movie, Tessa says she did not see him for twenty-five months. When he texts her, when she replies, she writes: Move on.

Anna Todd had left enough material in her books to bring this franchise to a brilliant close. They had the opportunity to write a f**king great movie to close the franchise and they completely missed it. I am really upset and so disappointed.

The marketing team suggested that Hessa was getting married by distorting one of the posters. Even if at the end, Hardin is indeed wearing a wedding ring.

youtube

Something made me smile in the movie, Hardin quotes a verse from the Bible that all Osblainers will recognize (something that does not happen in the book).

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Moreover, the composer of the original soundtrack, George Kallis, wrote a piece of music called: Love Is Patient. In an interview for Movie Web, he said:

"There are super strong emotional moments with Tessa, and a captivating rendition can be heard in the first lush orchestral arrangement on Love is Patient - an ode to the undying nature of true love."

Special mention to George Kallis for his incredible work. ❤️ He composed the music for the last three films. Justin Burnett was the composer of the first two. ❤️

In any case, a very nice surprise to hear once again the song Us by James Bay ❤️. Music we can hear in the first film when Hessa dance at Ken and Karen's wedding.

I will conclude by simply saying that I respect those who appreciated this film. I hope you will respect my point of view.
