Okay I finally watched the episode and I have several feelings so here we go...
If you haven't watched the show, stop reading. (Though I hope you have blocked the spoilers tag, if not it's your own fault..don't come at me)
Tumblr media
Am I dying every second thinking about him being alone there for eternity? Obviously 😭
But am i stupid or delusional enough to think he won't make a comeback in the next Avengers movie? No.
I don't think those people can fight kang without loki, they would at some point need his help because he's literally the most powerful god out there now.
Coming back to the episode there's not much I cared about, I probably wouldn't have blinked if ob, b15 or Casey would have died..didn't care about them at all if I was being honest and it's not the character's fault.
As much I hated the ship (because god forbid two male characters are friends in any show these days because they have to be lovers otherwise it's homophobia.. remember when bromance existed? Good times)
Mobius had a good character development that began in season 5 and continued this season unlike Sylvie who started as such a badly written selfish character that the only way they could have fixed it this season was to completely sideline her, which thankfully they did. The smirk and smile at the end even knowing that she may never get to see Loki again? (Yeah just die already).
Hopefully I'll never have to see her again.
Coming back to Loki (my precious baby love) i know his arc ended on a bittersweet note (that smile at the end just warmed my heart like never before) and it's more bitter for me than sweet because I can't handle the thought of him being so lonely because this is not what he wanted or deserved but then I think about Loki who died via strangulation and I'm like fuck everything, this is definitely much better than that ending.
Personally I think with time he's going to grow and learn to control this new power (or he could just clone himself and use him in a way? Idk Marvel can do anything) but I can feel it in my bones that this is not the end of him (unless ofcourse Tom is done with him and won't return for future projects)
That being said, Loki is alive and sure he is alone at the moment but he's a hero now, he has more than redeemed himself and he can finally forgive himself for everything that he didn't do right, perhaps this is what he needed to find that sense of purpose he has been looking for all his life. Hopefully he'd see himself as the god that he always was.
A man that was always ridiculed for his selfishness and narcissism chose to save the multiverse by sacrificing his freedom, by giving up his own free will. He chose everything he didn't want, a throne and what seemed like eternal solitude (but hopefully not)..a man of actions indeed. His arc reminds me of Tony in a way and that's beautiful.
Wherever you go, it's just death, destruction, the literal ends of worlds!
Uhhhhhuh? Look what my boy just did for the whole fucking multiverse.
I'm just trying to see the silver lining here that he's alive and he's the moment..he's everything, he literally became the most powerful being to ever exist in mcu and that gives me hope for him…he'd come back. Kang's arc started with him and they'd need him when the time comes. If not I got my fanfiction powers 🤣 (He deserves to find the sort of love that would stay by his side even if he's all that person would ever get)
Thank God they changed the writers this season and fixed somewhat of the mess they had made of this majestic, ethereal god last time.
Overall yeah my heart is breaking for him but look at him..he's the moment, he's the king of the multiverse, he's everything.

MAJOR LOKI SPOILERS FOR S2 EP4⚠️
This is my reaction so I do mention a LOT of the shit
Running on 17% battery, depressing/concerning/mental hospital worthy thoughts and an Oreo and I’m ready to watch some gods
Love how Mobius just went “it’s Loki’s turn to die”
Sylvie looks so homophobic wtf. She even called it a bromance and then glares at them like that tf
Yes loki, defend mobius.
Nope, he just said two words and let Sylvie continue to talk to Mobius like that
HES DOING THE THING WITH HIS ARM
I hate dox so much
Wait, Loki is defending Mobius?
Love how Loki is talking in this scene. I’m not paying attention, it’s just his voice.
He’s talking about Thor! He sounds sad.
Love the scene, not paying attention to what they’re talking about but how the environment is being used.
Pie=therapy. You don’t need to eat it, but anywhere there’s pie there’s a therapy session.
Say it
Say it
SAY IT
YEEEESSSSS
YES YOU ARE LOKI
oh yay, this girl is back, and the AI
Ain’t no way it was THAT good
Are they really going to kill them
This is horrid
Wtf
THEIR SCREAMS
THEY GOT CRUSHED
THE SOUNDS
YOU CAN HEAR THE BLOOD
WTF
YOU CAN HEAR THE BONES CRUSH AND THE BLOOD
AND MISS MINUTES WAS SMILING THE WHOLE TIME LIKE A PSYCHO
Mobius is back!
Has Victor never had hot cocoa?
I keep forgetting he’s in the past
Bro was really interested in that machine
You can still hear the blood!!
I HATE MISS MINUTES
Nice, hot chocolate. I now want hot chocolate
He’s so nice letting the other guy drink hot chocolate
NOOO, THE HOT COCOA
Wtf man
Loki and Sylvie are back! Wait, Sylvie is back…
Can we not bring back the box up? Please
Why is it actually so pretty
Wait, elevator, camera, NO
NO NO NO NO
THE FIRST EPISODE!
Sylvie is in the elevator and Loki… LOKI HAS THE THING
That’s past Loki, isn’t it
Wait, he’s going to get pruned
The phone!
ITS GREEN
THE PHONE
THE PHONE
LOKI PRUNED HIMSELF
HE HAD TO BECAUSE HE KNEW
THATS HOW IT HAPPENED
HES SHAKING! No I hate it when they shake
Answer it! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR WEEKS
YOU GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME
THAT WAS SO UNSATISFYING
they just want to use magic again
Like that wasn’t threatening
That was slightly creepy
YES DO IT!
Boo, I wanted to see Loki fight
Yes she’s pruned!
Mobius isn’t even going to talk him out of it
Bro was immediately spaghettified
NOOOOOOOO
ITS EXPLODING
DID THEY FAIL
LOKI !!!
You can’t end it like that!
I have to wait another week
Come on!

reviewing loki s2 ep4 (major spoilers!)
i was bit hesitant thowards this ep cuz i started noticing how this season parallels the previous one, which went very downhill after ep3 however, i think it seem to get better this time? 🤔🤭 this is so far my fav episode and hopefull they'll keep this energy for the last 2 eps. ok let's get into it:
Tumblr media
i don't think this was timed like this on purpose but love how we're 3 days away from halloween and this episode fits with it so well. i could be biased as a horror fan but i loved the eeriness (is that even a term?)
brad you stupidass why are you listening to ravonna when she clearly doesn't care about any of your lives on the time line 😭
ooouu the box scene 😧 not miss minutes' psycho ass smiling like she's getting creepier each ep- also as someone who watches gory movies i expected to see what was left of all the prisoners but then i remembered disney tries to keep shit as "family friendly" as possible altough i am not complaining cuz it's a lot more cinematic to just hear the blood droplets & it leaves space for our imagination!
why does it feel like b-15 is lowkey the true leader of the tva now? i can definitely vibe with that.
"which way, wizard?"
B-15 is strong af for not throwing up at *that* scene but ig she has seen more gruesome sights before.
i just know ppl gonna ship o.b, casey & victor as a poly-couple and i'm a 100% there for it lmaoo
even sylvie calling it "bromance" like miss ma'am's gay radar was going havoc, and her smile when HWR death was mentioned plss🤚 😭
i know sylvie meant well when she snapped at mobius for yk, "not reading the room" but i still felt kinda bad for mobius cuz i can deffo see him as the stress eater-type.
loki mentioning thor !!!!
the parallels between thor & jane and loki & mobius hmmm.....hmmmm...
what sylvie said about anhiliation & starting from scratch reminded me of thanos in endgame, sry baby 💀
well despite of that, still think sylvie is in the middle of her positive character arc/development
we're also witnessing loki's growth !! (notice how in 1x04 mobius told him to grow up?) he's possibly even more mature then he was in the sacred time line but that was due his sctripted fate of being a "loser" that sabotaged him from more rational choices but now he's free to think & do what he wants n i love that for him.
goodbye miss minutes i assure you that nobody's gonna miss yew. 💁‍♀️
now why did x-5 had to ruin that wholesome moment this badly ><=$^[_=
despite of sylvie & loki not fully agreeing on moral issues and stuff, i enjoyed them working together, it was finally sylvie's turn to show off her magic 😋
loki was so soft & reassuring with victor timely only for him to be spaghettified ?? i knew they'd probs kill him off but i didn't expect it to be such a weird & immidate death 😭 kinda sad cuz i don't think they'll bring that version of him back.
idk how to feel about ravonna getting pruned. not sure she'll get redeemed cuz it's too late for that now but pruning doesn't kill an invidual so it's likely that her story doesn't just end here.
love the soundtrack in this series generally but in the latest episode it's outstanding ! natalie holt truly added her whole 🐱 into this ost 🙏
the cliffhanger is absolutely killing me, i'll have to absorb all the theories until next friday like i fr cannot wait ngfddjfsvbm

The vows were perfect. I don't even know where to begin with them, but Sylvie's especially got me.
"The way you were with her, I knew you were born to be a father. And when you decided to be a father to the Darden boys, it only made me love you more. Even though I was trying so hard to let you go. And I couldn't. It's like you said, we were meant to be. And we're meant to be a family." ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
They lit a candle for the firefighters they lost 😫
Amelia is so adorable. She's gotten so big! So did Otis and Javi. Made me happy seeing them. Julia and Amelia melted my heart. I was literally so happy to see Amelia. I genuinely love her
The dance party was so cute. Severide dancing wasn't on my bingo card, but I'm not mad about it. Violet was adorable, as per usual
Sevasey is probably my favorite TV bromance. They both got their happy endings, and that makes me so happy. I love their friendship and I love the moments we got to see this episode
"I will always come home to you, Stella." 🥺
Trudy's "take this" 😂
I knew all of that had to be so triggering for Violet. I just wanted to give her a hug. I loved the moment with her and Carver. I tried to not like them, but I can't do it anymore. They're so good, and I love that Violet was able to be honest with him. He handled it really well too. It validated her and took her mind off it, so good on him
I'm behind schedule but ignore that

What Is There To Celebrate About the Darkling? (Part 2)
1 2 3 4
He’s a musician. He plays the fiddle.
He’s the darkness to Alina’s light. He’s steeped in yin and yang symbolism. His banner is the eclipse.
The Starless Saint is a badass title.
Him and Alina are soulmates.
He’s eternal. He’s tragic. He has a vast and complex history that we can’t even begin to unravel, but one that would be so incredibly interesting to learn about.
He’s wicked smart. Very intelligent. A great tactician.
He sits as an equal with his men and treats his soldiers well.
He has a complex relationship with the Otkazat’sya. He doesn’t hate them as most would assume, and in fact trusts quite a few with his life and the lives of the Grisha
That entire scene in Demon in the Woods where Sylvi keeps asking to play with his shadows and he smiles while he makes shapes and lets her have fun with them.
His title is the Darkling, which is honestly just kind of pathetic and makes me think of tiny fluffy shadows. So whenever people refer to him as the Darkling I think of him as a baby shadow and that’s entirely Leigh Bardugo’s fault.
He’s a murderer and he looks sexy doing it.
Do I agree with him killing all of those ambassadors? No. Do I think it was funny? Yes. Did I hate the ambassadors with a burning passion? Also yes. Was I cheering when they died? Quite possibly.
Dumbass didn’t tell Alina about Marie or the Conductor, so every time he mentions how he’s doing this for her she literally has no idea wtf he’s talking about.
“Fine, make me your villain.”
Gave Alina the most elaborate and plush tent in the universe even though she was his prisoner.
The way he says “Mal” when they first meet like a scorned lover surprised to see his ex at a ball.
“Where is the boy? I have my Summoner. I want my tracker too.”
The way he kisses Alina in episode five like a man starved.
How surprised and enamored he is after she kisses him for the first time
“I used to come here as a child” he said, like a liar
His hair is perfect and beautiful.
He looks stunning even when he’s crawling out of the fold like a bat with rabies.
His face scars.
His entire bromance with Ivan.
“Ivan? My kefta!” Bro do you not have legs? Why is Ivan dressing you?
Literal walking disaster of an ancient being.
“I bEg YoUr PaRdOn?”
When the Little Palace is called quaint and he looks as if he’s about to commit a murder.
“After a long moment he said, ‘Aleksander.” A little laugh escaped me. He arched a brow, a smile tugging at his lips. ‘What?’ ‘It’s just so…common.’ Such an ordinary name, held by kings and peasants alike. I’d known two Aleksanders at Keramzin alone, three in the First Army. One of them had died on the Fold. His smile deepened and he cocked his head to the side. It almost hurt to see him this way. ‘Will you say it?’ he asked.”
He talks about how amazing Alina is and how much she matters constantly.
He can speak multiple languages.
Every time he uses the merzost is something to be celebrated because it legit just looks like porn.
“’Alina’s blade wrapped in my shadows and your blood.’ The Darkling’s voice was thoughtful, like he was remembering a favorite recipe.”
He’s very protective. He’s a protector.
He created the Little Palace.
Him looking absolutely feral in that entire fight scene with Mal in the fold. Also never really realized how long his legs were until I saw him get flipped on his ass.
Ben Barnes saying moya tsaritsa.
The mental bond with Alina only works when they’re both thinking about each other. Alina sees him when she’s kissing Mal.
He makes so many innuendos about his relationship with Alina for someone who barely even got past first base.
Gets reverse uno’d to shit and back by Alina when trying to seduce her. Catches feelings like an amateur. Tragically unable to think about literally anything else anymore.
Have I mentioned that he’s whipped as shit yet? Because he is.
The dramatic coat billow when he enters the stag scene like a classic fantasy villain. Only man on the planet who doesn’t need words to say “I’m the bad guy.”
He lets Mal get healed.
Wears all black even though his favorite color is every single other one on the planet.
Gives zero fucks about Mal escaping for someone who felt so threatened by the guy literally two seconds ago.
“I’m not going to kill you, Mal. I don’t need to. Time will do it for me.” Me, who knows how this is going to end: yeah it sure will buddy.
The way he wraps his legs around Alina in the name scene.
He created the fold.
He loved Luda and he loved Annika (as a friend) and he loved Alina. His feelings for them all were genuine and all encompassing, and that’s not talked about nearly enough.
He defends Annika and Sylvi from Lev.
He embodies the “that’s my wife” meme.
Height difference.
The way he speaks so softly. Idk if its my issues with men yelling, but the Darkling being soft-spoken was what made me really appreciate his character from the start.
But also, him pulling the knife out of his chest and screaming “it will take more than this!” 🥵
He’s bisexual as fuck.
He’s here, he’s queer, and he’s ready to murder an entire city.
Him going absolutely apeshit when Alina disappears. Convinced she’s been kidnapped.
He makes shadows go snip.
Alina loves him (despite the warning signs).
Oh, what’s that? It’s a tracker! *gets tackled over the edge of a skiff*
Unkillable. Will come back to life just to fuck with you. Gives zero shits about the way reality should work.
Would sell Alina’s and his own soul to the devil for a corn chip. But sike! He’s actually the devil. So now he’s got two souls and a corn chip.
He’s just plain amazing. 💖

🔥 something abt the Loki show, anything. Like go insane if u want. I have never seen it but I used to be obsessed w Loki when I was like 14 and u r the only exposure to ANYTHING abt the show I have bc I don't follow anyone else who talks abt it. Which is rly all I need as I don't think I could survive watching it
good lord. right so basically I don't give a shit either I just have a soft spot for loki as the thor movies always make me cry (daddy issues idk) so I thought I'd watch and I've been sucked in again by a cool plot and initially well done character study.
considering I hate marvel idk how im surprised but they started off giving the fans everything they wanted with this mystery sci-fi buddy cop plot and confirmation of genderfluid, bi loki. everyone was on cloud nine with this new female loki and the fun bi chaotic siblings dynamic they had.
but then it turn out the 'genderfluid' representation was actually just this is the only ever shockingly female oki variants in the multiverse!! and therefore loki is in love with her after just meeting. and they keep flip flopping on "it's not incesteous they're completely different people!" to regularly putting in lines like "we are stronger than we think" and constantly being reminded they're the same person with the same family etc so it's just incredibly uncomfortable. I don't like it but im used to disappointment and if they're desperate to do a underdeveloped heterosexual romance as an on the nose metaphor for self love then sure whatever I guess but I wish they'd comit. they keep doing these excruciating romantic building moments but then reminding us how weird it is and holding off from any romantic confirmation it's truly painful to watch rip the bandaid off
also some people are saying it's great representation to have two genderfluid bisexuals in love with each other but that's the same old bs good omens argument where's it's like if they're completely shown as binary genders and heteronomativley portrayed then it literally doesn't matter if tptb have said "you can see them how you like uwu give us credit for nothing" ya know? plus having a bi man and a bi woman in a relationship is really cool, in theory, if the mcu has any history of representation but considering its technically the first ever 'queer relationship' in the whole mcu (I think?) and they're kinda related ? that's erm...
it's got wonderful production design though and the time travel/multiverse aspect is really cool! they've just decided to focus on this universe shattering romance though in the later episodes and it's so unececesary. could've kept them in familial platonic love and mutual respect and literally nothing about their bond or the plot would've changed.
another thing to note: there's another white boy mlm ship which I saw a mile off bc they have great chemistry, instantly care for each other and most importantly aren't related but the writers are getting upset at the fans for "taking things the wrong way" and making every connection romantic which is incredibly ironic considering they did just that but as always queer characters aren't allowed to be demonstrably queer ever it's just a bromance
there's a s2 confirmed so I'm hoping that maybe they either calm down in the self-cest thing (it's unpopular even with normal audience it seems) and we just get back to this central trio vibing through time and space as besties which would be cool. OR. I've seen a decent theory that maybe in the finale loki and sylvie (the female variant) will merge into one being as we then have an actual genderfluid loki going forward.. which id be okay with if they're insistent on making them in love (though pissed off bc she's a really cool female character and that's making her a love interest then fridging but maybe that form would revisit???)
send me a 🔥for unpopular opinion. usually not essay length

Loki - Season 1 (2021) Review
Tumblr media
With glorious purpose comes great irresponsibility...
Plot: After stealing the Tesseract and messing with the timeline in Avengers: Endgame, the god of mischief Loki, having recently felt defeat from the Avengers at the Battle of New York and experienced what it means to be Hulk smashed, lands face to face with the TVA (Time Variance Authority) who hire him to help hunt down other time variances.
Out of all the MCU Disney+ shows from first glance Loki seemed like the most self contained standalone one as it was set way way back in the past and seemingly deviated from the main events and story direction that the overall Marvel Cinematic Universe was heading. It seemed as if Loki’s entire existence came to fruition thanks to the fans’ huge love for the character played so splendidly by Tom Hiddleston all these years and this wasn’t going to accumulate to more than fan service. And that would have been perfectly okay, as aforementioned Tom Hiddleston is so well cast as the titular antihero that you can watch his shtick endlessly. He is articulate, delivering lines like machine gun bullets along with a real range of mannerisms and faces to deliver those lines with devastating effect. He is the perfect actor to play Loki because he is both charming and handsome. He also has the English villain thing going for him so he comes across as classy even when he is being nasty and mean. He manages to balance smugness with goofiness and delivers the Nordic Asgardian tongue with Shakespearean gusto! Marvel have always been known for great casting and arguably....heck, not even an argument, he IS Marvel’s best casting choice. Not even Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man have as big a fan following as Hiddle-Loki! So making a show for the fans wasn’t out of question.
However, having now watched the Loki season finale it turns out this series has thus far had the biggest impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe than any other Phase 4 show/movie so far. This thing sets up so much of what’s to come that it comes as a bit of a difficulty to review it as basically anything I say can be classed as a spoiler and then Marvel fans would eat me up like those rats do in the video game A Plague Tale: Innocence. There wouldn’t be a shed of skin left on me!! But what I can talk about is some stuff.
Tom Hiddleston is great as always, and also the clever casting of Owen Wilson as Mobius, one of the members of the TVA, results in a great buddy cop bromance between the two that I wish the show gave more time to, especially since Owen Wilson is so loveable in this, even if he doesn’t get to say his signature catchphrase “WOW”. In fact when the two share the screen together the series is at its highest. The rest of the cast have their moments too, and a stand out who’s role I cannot spoil but is so so good in this is Richard E. Grant. He plays a certain special character and nearly steals the entire show when he appears. Also visually the show looks great and the music score hits some solid notes. I did also enjoy the twists and turns and as I said, the set up for the future is really significant and leaves space for something great to look forward to. I was always wondering how Marvel could keep things interesting following the very conclusive Endgame, which seemed like a perfect franchise ender. But with what Loki sets up it kind of turns everything we know about the cinematic universe upside down, and I cannot wait to see where things go from here.
In terms of negatives, there’s an episode midway through this season’s six episode run which is evident filler and not even good filler. It felt like a knock-off episode of Doctor Who and not a good one, and overall felt pointless to the overall series arc. Secondly, there is a character introduced in this show called Sylvie played by Sophia Di Martino and she is obviously a Hollywood newcomer, however her acting in this was quite distracting. With folks like Hiddleston and Wilson, they fit so swimmingly into their characters, however with Di Martino you can tell that she is acting. None of her emotions felt real and she always kept the same expression on her face which really distracted from the overall immersion of the viewing. And she happens to have a significant role in this show so she’s in many scenes. Again, I don’t like berating individuals and I’m certain that in real life she’s a lovely person, but I didn’t seem to connect to her in this role.
Overall Loki features a lot of Loki, a lot of twists, a lot of turns, and a lot of Marvel-lous moments! And it’s a definite must watch for die hard fans as it’s a significant chapter in the Marvel saga.
Overall score: 7/10

Life is a Work in Progress
As soon as I saw Sylvie scream on Lamentis 1 this plot bunny has been forming in my head. That along with excellent bromance between Loki and Sylvie, and Mobius being able to psychoanalyze the shit out of Loki led to this little idea.
Let’s set the scene. Sometime, some place, once they fix the shit out of the multiverse cluster fuck Loki and Mobius move in together. Sylvie follows, because why not. She spent her whole life on the run. What else is she going to do.
So I present to you
Life is a Work in Progress (ao3)
A short story about the trio being dumb
Tumblr media
Read Below
Mobius ran into the room. “What the hell is going on in here?” He shouted.
“She’s throwing a tantrum,” Loki said from his position on the far side from the entrance. He was sat on a small wooden stool in the corner of the room. He looked relaxed, leaning back to rest against the wall, but his hands were tinged with a slight green glow and his eyes were firmly fixed on Sylvie.
After the fall of the TVA and the destruction of the Sacred Timeline the three variants had decided to live together. At least that’s how Sylvie would put it. In reality it was more that Loki and Mobius decided to settle down and get a house together while Sylvie tagged along out of boredom. It made for an interesting living situation. Mobius, who had never known a life outside of the TVA. Loki, who had never known a life outside of royalty. And Sylvie, who had never known a life outside of being on the run. This new living arrangement was one giant experiment. Hence the room.
The room in question was a mess. What had previously been host to a couch, armchairs, a TV, and multiple bookshelves was now a room of scraps. Books were strewn all over the ground, the couch was ripped in half, and the TV was shattered. There were cracks running up the sides of the wall and the lights on the ceiling were either broken or near to it. In the middle of it all was Sylvie. 
“What?" Mobius asked incredulously. "A tantrum?”  He dragged his hands up over his face and through his hair. “A tantrum?” he muttered to himself. His eyes lit up in realization. “Oh, a temper tantrum. Yeah, ok, ok. We can work with this.”
“I’m not throwing a tantrum,” She growled, punctuating her point with a stamp of her foot. The crack in the room grew larger and dust fell from the ceiling. 
“Right,” Mobius said looking at her, then the state of the room, and then at Loki. “Is this a common occurrence?” He asked motioning to the destruction in front of him. “I mean, you did travel with her for a bit. Is this a 'Loki' thing or a 'her' thing.” Loki scrunched his face. “Oh it’s definitely not a Loki thing.” He said. “I would never stoop as low as to destroy a room in a childish fit -”
“Shut up,” Sylvie screamed. Green sparked at her fingertips. “Stop talking about me like I’m not even here.” There was an explosion blasting away the last few books that managed to hang on to the bookshelf. As quick as a flash Loki sat up, green magic springing from his hands to catch the books that were flying through the air.
Mobius watched as the books floated harmlessly to the floor. “Has she been doing that often?” He asked. A low rumble emanated from the middle of the room. “Are you growling? Wait no nevermind.” Mobius raised his hands. “I’m sorry that I talked about you like you weren’t there, but you need to calm down.” 
“Don’t tell me to calm down.” Sylvie said “I am calm.”
Loki barked out a short laugh. “Oh, this is calm?” He waved at the mess in the room. “You’re about as calm as a pack full of -”
Sylvie whipped around to face him, bringing her leg back to kick one of the books. 
“Hey. Stop it. Stop. Both of you.” Mobius reached forward to grab Sylvie. “We do not kick things in this house.”
 Sylvie narrowed her eyes at him. “Well fine then.” Not looking away from him she slowly raised her hands, green enveloping them. Loki jumped up from his seat, his hands flashing green in preparation to deflect whatever explosion was going to happen next. Mobius hugged her.
Immediately her hands dropped, the green fading away. She looked up at him with a confused look on her face. “What are you doing?” she asked.
“I’m hugging you.” Mobius said
“But why?”
“Because it looked like you needed a hug,”
“Oh.” Sylvie strained to try to catch Loki’s eye over Mobius' shoulder, but the man in question wouldn’t let her move. With a small sigh she, resigned to her fate, settled to rest her head against Mobius’s chest. 
They stood like that in silence. Mobius rocked them back and forth, slowly turning so that he could look at Loki.
“What the hell did you do,” He mouthed silently. 
“Me?” Loki raised his hand to his chest. “What makes you think I did anything?”
Mobius squinted his eyes suspiciously at him. “We’ll talk later.”  He focused his attention on the girl in his arms. He pulled away looking down at her. “Are you calm now?” he asked.
Sylvie nodded, eyes fixed on the floor.
“That’s good,” He praised softly. “Do either of you want to tell me what this was all about?” 
“He ate my cookie,” Sylvie said petulantly.
Mobius froze. He looked from her, to Loki, to the things scattered about the room. “All this,” He said in disbelief. “Over a cookie?”
Loki let out a small chuckle. “Yeah. It’s absolutely ridiculous isn’t it.”
Sylvie swung around to face him, shoving an accusing finger in his face. “It’s not ridiculous.” She shouted. “It was my cookie.”
Loki scoffed. “You can’t lay claim to a cookie.” “Yes I can, and I did. You know I did.”
“I knew no such thing.”
“You liar. I said last night I wanted that cookie.”
“It’s not last night anymore.”
Sylvie curled her hand into a fist, throwing a punch in Loki’s direction.
“Hey. words” Mobius yanked Sylvie back. “You guys are wordsmiths. Use your words.”
“Well technically I’m the only-”
“Loki,” Mobius warned.
“Ok. Ok” He bowed, signaling the other to speak. “My lady.” He said sarcastically.
Sylvie scowled and scuffed her feet against the ground.
“Go on,” Mobius said encouragingly.
After a few more beats of silence Sylvie sighed. “When you ate my cookie,” She ground out. “It made me feel mad.”
“Good good.” Mobius grinned. “Now Loki?”
Loki looked at him surprised. “What? Why do I have to do it? She’s the one that doesn’t know how to communicate.”
“Loki,” He said, no trace of amusement evident in his voice.
“Fine, fine.” He rolled his eyes. “I am sorry that my eating the cookie upset you. I did not think that you would mind.”
“We need to work on the delivery but that’s good.” Mobius clapped his hands. “Doesn’t everybody feel better now?” He bent down to pick up a couple of books. “Now let’s work together and get this room cleaned up.”
“I hope that cookie tasted good,” Sylvie sneered.
Loki leaned over, a predatory smile on his face. “It was delicious,” he said, reaching over to tap her on the forehead with each word. At the last word a burst of green shot out from his fingers pushing Sylvie back.  
Sylvie let out a wordless scream lunging towards the man. Loki quickly stepped back while Mobius jumped forward to grab Sylvie around the waist.
“What the hell Loki,” he grunted glaring at Loki as he tried to drag the snarling ball of rage away. “You are so sleeping on the couch tonight, so you better fix this room.”
Sylvie twisted in his grasp, and he grappled with her for a moment, grabbing her arms to pin behind her back. With one hand holding her arms in place, Mobius grabbed the back of her collar with the other, frog marching her out of the room. Together they walked towards the staircase leading to the upper half of the house. He leaned forward. “If you want to destroy something.” He whispered in her ear. “Destroy your own room please.” He turned to shout back towards the other Loki. “And get another cookie too.”

Troublemaker
This is a long overdue story.  I owe an anon reader this story.  I was requested to do prompt #16.  Sadly, I didn’t get to know which #16 it was as I have many prompt lists out there.  So, this is a Brettonio story with the following prompts:
- “I ship us.” - “Why are you always so stubborn?” “I’m not.” - “What do you have?” “Pizza rolls & Cup O’Noodles... that’s about it.  So... Popcorn?” - “Aaah... I can’t stop blushing... No... you’re not helping at all.” Please note that for the purpose of this story, Antonio and Sylvie made up and have since moved on since the incident with Laura.  They’re still together.  So without further ado... Troublemaker!
Tumblr media
“Sylvie!”  Antonio called out as he came into the apartment.  “Babe?”  He saw her coat was hung on the hook and her boots were by the door.  He hung up his own coat and took off his shoes before going to the kitchen.
Sylvie wasn’t there.  He went to check the master bedroom and saw she wasn’t there either.  That was when he heard sounds coming Eva’s room.  He went over and could see light coming from under the door.  He leaned against the door to see if Eva was alone.
“Eva... you know that your dad’s going to eventually figure it all out.”
“I know Sylvie, but... I don’t know how to tell him.”
“It’s not going to be easy... considering it’s really big.”
Antonio had no clue what was being discussed but the feeling in the pit of his stomach told him he probably wasn’t going to like it.  He took a breath and knocked on the door.  “Sylvie?”
“Coming.”  
There was some more whispering that Antonio couldn’t make it.  He backed away from the door so that neither Eva nor Sylvie would know he wasn’t there.
“Hey.”  Sylvie opened the door and walked into the hallway.  “When did you get home?”
“Just now.”  Antonio wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.  “How was your day off?”
“Zumba... went grocery shopping... met with Gaby for lunch... picked Eva up from school... and I was just helping her with her bio homework.”
“Fun times.  Do I want to know what they’re teaching my daughter?”
“Didn’t you take biology?”  Sylvie chuckled.
“Uh... I can’t remember.”  Antonio smirked.
“Yeah... I bet.”  Sylvie poked him in the ribs.  “So... I was thinking about your offer from the other night.”
“Which one?”  Antonio batted his eyes at her, feigning innocence.
Sylvie smacked him in the chest.  “You know which one.”
Antonio sighed.  “Yeah... I remember asking you to move in with us.”
“I told you I needed time to think it over... and I did.”
“What’s your final decision?”  Antonio whispered.
“I’ll gladly move in.”  Sylvie whispered back.  “I just had to talk to Eva and Diego first... it’s their home too.”
“So, they gave their blessing?”
That was when Eva emerged from her bedroom.  “Hey, Dad.”
“Hey, kiddo.”  Antonio said.  “How was school?”
“It was okay.  I was happy to finally see Neil get kicked out of Chemistry today.”
“What did he do this time?”  Antonio asked.
“Tried to use acid to burn through his textbook.”
Antonio sighed.  He knew that this Neil kid had been a pain in almost every class that he shared with Eva.  “How long?”
“No clue.  Headmaster had him in the office the rest of the day.”  Eva shrugged.  “I got an A on my History paper... and I’m meeting with the counsellor about my college choices tomorrow.”
“Sounds like a busy day.”  Antonio was extremely proud of his daughter.  Eva had been achieving new heights since she’d moved in with him.  Sylvie had been a big help in having her adjust.  “So, anything else new?” He looked between Sylvie and Eva.
“Turns out 51 has a new thing going around for ‘ships’.”  Sylvie said.  “Weird names for them... made no sense to me.”
“They’re talking about boats?”  Antonio knew that Chief, Kelly and Matt fished often, but he was sure that none of them owned anything larger enough to be considered a ship.
“Sylvie... Dad... a ship isn’t a boat... like the traditional meaning of the word.”  Eva spoke up.
“Then what is it?”  Antonio was genuinely perplexed.  
Eva sighed.  “And people think Millennials are bad... okay, a ‘ship’ is a nickname for a couple... like ‘Brangelina’ or ‘Kimye’...” 
“So... a ‘ship’...”  Antonio used his fingers to simulate quotation marks.  “Is what people call couples as a cute thing?”
Eva rolled her eyes.  “It’s not a cute thing... it’s just a way that people talk... those tabloids started it... normal people kept it going.”
“So... what ships were they discussing at 51?”  Antonio turned to look at Sylvie.
“Well, Dawsey...”
“That’s probably Aunt Gaby & Uncle Matt.”
Sylvie nodded.  “That’s what Otis said.”
“Any others?”
“Well, there was Plouch, but that’s obviously Mouch and Trudy...”  Sylvie said.  “Then there’s the bromance going on with Otis and Cruz... they call themselves Crotis...”
“Typical bromance name.”  Eva snickered.
“There was another one, but I didn’t catch it all... probably because they froze when I came into the kitchen.”  Sylvie sighed.
“They probably have a ship name for you and Dad.”  Eva looked to her dad.  “I see it.”
“You think we’re like a celebrity couple?”  Antonio arched an eyebrow.  “Really?”
“Well, you’re way better than ‘Kimye’.”  Eva commented.  “And you’re definitely way cooler than Brangelina.”
Sylvie’s head was spinning.  “Okay, Eva... what would you call your dad and I as a ‘ship’?”
Eva thought about it for a couple minutes.  “That’s not so easy... your first names don’t mesh really well... and well, last names... people could confuse it as a team name for Aunt Gaby & Sylvie.”
“Well, how about this... you think about that while we make supper?”  Antonio proposed.
Eva nodded and headed to the kitchen.
Sylvie kissed Antonio on the cheek.  “No matter what name she comes up with, I ship us.”
Antonio groaned as the two of them made their way to the kitchen.  He was worried about whatever it was that Sylvie and Eva had been discussing in Eva’s room and now this.  He strongly suspected he may need help falling asleep tonight.  “So, what’s for dinner?”
“What do you have?”  Sylvie asked.
Antonio and Eva were going through cupboards and the fridge.  “Uh... Pizza rolls... and Cup O’Noodles... that’s about it.”
Eva held up a box of microwave popcorn.  “Popcorn?”
Sylvie groaned.  “No, no and no... we definitely are not have any of those for dinner.”  She looked at her watch.  It was too late to hit any decent market to get food.  “Okay, coats, shoes... we’ll go to my place... I left all my groceries there...”
“Why didn’t you bring them here?”  Antonio asked.
“Because I was thinking you’d actually have groceries here... and those groceries were partly for meal planning for when I’m on shift... they were going to be a surprise.”
“Oh... oops.”  Antonio said sheepishly.  “Okay... let’s hit the road.”
Once at Sylvie’s apartment, Sylvie quickly whipped up some grilled chicken with a salad.  While they ate, she heated a frozen cobbler for dessert.  After dinner, Antonio and Sylvie cleaned the dishes and Eva went to find something on Netflix.
“You okay?”  Antonio asked.
Sylvie nodded.  “Yeah.  Just long shift...”
“Let’s make some popcorn and go watch a movie.  It’ll be a good way for all of us to unwind.”
“Eva definitely needs to unwind.”  Sylvie sighed.  “She’s worried about getting into a good school... exams... prom.”
Antonio cringed at the last word.  “She’ll get into a good school.”  Antonio knew his daughter was a straight ‘A’ student and had sent in applications for every school possible as well as been applying to a multitude of grants and scholarships.  Eva didn’t know, but Antonio had been putting money aside every month since she was born to help her go to a good school.  He supported her fully in whatever she wanted to pursue.  Prom, that was another subject.  Prom meant his little girl was growing up and he’d have to see her move onto new and bigger adventures.  “I’m a little more worried about this Prom thing though.”
“Antonio, I don’t think Eva is one of those girls.”
“I’m not worried about her... I’m worried about the boys.”
“Antonio... any boy that knows Eva knows that her dad will sic the entire CPD on them if they so much as have an inappropriate thought about her.”
Antonio had to laugh.  It was true.  Almost all of Eva’s class had met Antonio  through the years when he came to do ‘Parent Day’ events at the school.  “Okay, okay.  I’ll ease up on the Prom thing... I just want her happy.  That’s all I’ve wanted for Eva and Diego.”
“You’re a great dad, Antonio.”  Sylvie nodded over to where Eva was browsing Netflix.  “You’ve got two great kids who love you.  They’re happy, but they’re always looking at you and wanting you to be happy too.”
Antonio put the popcorn in the microwave, hit start and then took Sylvie’s hand.  “I am happy.  This... us, the kids... what we have... that makes me happy.”  He sighed.  “You know... you never answered what the kids thought about us moving in together.”
“Oh.”  Sylvie snickered as she pulled the popcorn from the microwave.  “They said it was cool... they just don’t want Laura to find out.”
“I don’t blame them on that.”  Antonio held the bowl while Sylvie poured the popcorn.  “But... she’s moved on, I can too... and I have... and I will not let her come between us again.”
They went to join Eva and watching ‘Stranger Things’.
Halfway through the episode, Antonio’s phone rang.  He grabbed it from his pocket and scowled.  He left the living room and headed to the bedroom to take the call.
Eva paused the TV and looked to Sylvie.  “Work?”
Sylvie shook her head.  “Not likely... I think it’s something more close to home.”
Eva sighed and leaned against the bean bag chair that Sylvie had bought her for movie nights.  “Mom?”
Sylvie nodded slowly.  “I’m pretty sure that’s who it was.  Your dad doesn’t doesn’t usually get that grumpy, that fast for work.”
Eva groaned.  “I think movie night may be over.”
Sylvie motioned for Eva to come sit next to her.  “I know that this whole thing is tough.”
Eva leaned against Sylvie.  “There are days I wish you were my mom, Sylvie.  You listen to us... you’re fair to us... you just care.”
Sylvie had no clue what to do in this occasion.  She cared about both of Antonio’s kids and it hurt her to see them be stuck in this mess.  Antonio had explained a bunch of the things that had been going on.  She knew that Laura was fighting to not allow Diego to choose which parent he wants to live with.  He’d wanted to move in with Antonio but he was still too young according to Laura, to make that decision.  The courts however had to review the report completed by a child psychologist and all other evidence before making any determination.
Antonio came back into the living room, flustered and running his hands through his hair.  “Okay, I’m going to go pick up Diego... be back in a bit.”
Sylvie looked to him.  “At Laura’s?”
He shook his head, fists clenched.  “No... she left him on my doorstep.  A neighbour just called.”
Sylvie knew who he was talking about.  The neighbour across the hall always kept an eye out on his place and knew the Dawson kids well.  “Ah... well, we can go with you.”
“Uh, no... I think we’ll stay here tonight... maybe get a head start on your packing?”
Sylvie knew that wasn’t the real reason, but whatever it was, he didn’t want to say it in front of Eva.  “Sure.”  She turned to Eva.  “How about we pick a movie while we wait?”
Eva started browsing Netflix again while Antonio left to pick Diego up.
6 weeks after the most recent drama with Laura, Antonio and Sylvie walked into the courtroom.  They were here for the judge to rule on if Diego was old enough to decide which parent he wanted to live with and if he was old enough, the judge would listen to Diego’s choice.  Since the recent episode, Diego had spent five and half weeks with them at Antonio’s.  Laura never called Antonio to check on him until the day she showed up on their doorstep demanding Diego go home with her.  Antonio had had enough by then.  He’d called in some favours from when he worked for the State Attorney’s office.  He was tired of seeing his children being used as pawns for his ex-wife in their divorce proceedings.
Another issue that had arisen since that night was that Sylvie had officially moved in with Antonio and was fully into being the kids’ step-mom.  That had further enraged Laura, but it didn’t get to Sylvie.  She stood her ground and stood by her new little family.
Court was called to order.  The judge read the file and then spoke to Antonio and Laura’s respective lawyers.  He then looked to the seats where Antonio, Sylvie and the kids were sitting.  “Diego?”
“Yes, sir?”  Diego stood.
“Come up here, son.”
Diego walked up closer to the bench.
“Now, you are 13 correct?”
Diego nodded.  “Yes, your Honour.”
“And you’ve spoken to both your parents about how you felt?  That you wanted to choose who you wanted to spend the majority of your time with?”
Diego nodded again.  “Yes, sir.  I have.”
“How did those conversations go?”
Diego took a breath.  He wasn’t under oath, but he knew that lying to the judge wouldn’t be good.  “When I talked to my dad and his girlfriend... they said as long as I was happy, they supported my choice.”
“And your mother?”
“It wasn’t so much a talk as her yelling about how my dad was corrupting me and making me go against her.”
Laura’s attorney had to put his hand on her arm to stop her from causing a commotion.  
“Continue, Diego.”  The judge nodded.
“She didn’t want me to live with Dad because then it meant less money for her and that I was doing it to hurt her because Dad was never there for me like she was.”
“I see.”  The judge, as unbiased as he could be, scowled at Laura.  “Well... what would you like?”
“I’d like to live with my dad.  He supports me in my goals... and he always comes to tournaments and school activities if he isn’t working... and when he can’t come, Sylvie and my grandparents are there with my sister.  There’s no yelling and fighting like there used to be.  I feel like it’s a family.”
“I see.  Okay, Diego, you can go sit with them.” 
Diego came back and sat next to Eva who hugged him tightly.
“Detective Dawson.”
Antonio stood and went to stand where Diego had been.  “Yes, your Honour?”
“I understand your work, I’ve had you testify in my court before... do you feel Diego would be better at home with you and your girlfriend, with his sister?”
“I do... not because of the divorce, or because I wish to spite his mother.  I want my children happy.  I only want what’s best for them.  In the past six weeks, we’ve really grown as a family.  They’ve welcomed Sylvie with open arms.  There’s always going to be that part of my work where I may not be home because of a case, but we’ve always made it work.”
“You’ve worked out a plan with your attorney, to allow your children to spend time with their mother as well?”
“Yes, sir... they also contributed to it.  Seeing as Eva is almost 18 and Diego is a teenager, I felt it was in their best interest that they be part of the discussion.”
“I’ve read your proposal, and I feel it is very fair.”  The judge smiled.  “Thank you, Detective.”
Antonio took his seat again and squeezed Sylvie’s hand.  He was cringing to think what Laura would have to say.  To his surprise, she barely said anything, only responding ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the judge’s questions.
“We’ll take a 20 minute recess.  I’ll go over it all and provide my ruling then.”  With that he banged his gavel.
Laura stormed out the courtroom.  Sylvie looked to Antonio.  She could see the worry in his eyes.  She gently stroked his cheek.  “It’s going to be okay.”  She whispered.
Antonio sighed.  Deep down, he knew she was right, but he would have that knot in the pit of his stomach until the judge passed his ruling.  “I know... I just... I want this to be over with.”
Sylvie kissed his cheek.  “20 more minutes... then whatever happens happens and we’ll all learn to live with whatever ruling he comes back with.”
They were the longest 20 minutes in their life.  The judge returned just as Laura took her seat again.
“Now, I’ve reviewed all the information provided by both attorneys, I’ve read Eva’s testimony and heard from Diego as well as both parents.”  He looked over his glasses.  “The only person I haven’t heard from is Ms. Brett.”
Sylvie’s eyes widened.  She slowly stood.  “Me, your Honour?”
“Please.”  The judge motioned to her.
Sylvie moved to the front of the room.  They hadn’t discussed this.  She had no clue what to say.  She took a deep breath and waited.
“Now, Ms. Brett, you’re a paramedic with the CFD?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Your partner is Detective Dawson’s sister?”
Sylvie answered.  “Yes.”
“How has his family reacted to the two of you being together?”
Sylvie was confused as to what this had to do with Diego living with Antonio, but she answered none the less.  “At first, they were a little shocked... seeing that there’s quite an age gap between us... that he’d been married and had children and I never have been married.  But, time went on and people got used to it.”
“How do the children feel about it?”
“They’ve never said they’re against it, sir.”  Sylvie sighed.  “They just asked that we not break up again... that they didn’t want to see their father hurt again.”
“What caused this ‘break up’?”
Sylvie quickly looked back to Antonio before answering.  “Uh, a conflict with his ex, Laura.”
The judge looked to all parties before saying.  “Go on.”
“Laura came to the firehouse... I had picked Diego up from his grandmother’s house because Antonio had been called on a case.  We’d done it many times before and never had a problem.  That day, Diego had told Laura where he was.  She was furious that Antonio hadn’t picked him up, so she ambushed me at work.  She commented that I was blonde.  She also ranted that she didn’t want a ‘strange’ woman driving her son around.  She then went on to get upset because I’d learned to play chess so I could bond more with Diego.”
Laura stood up.  “This is pointless.”
“Sit down, or be charged with contempt.”  The judge ordered.  He looked to Sylvie.  “Please, continue.”
“Bonding with Eva was easier, she’s a teen girl and I remember what being a teenager is like.”
Laura muttered under her breath.  “That’s because you’re barely an adult.”
This earned her a glare from the judge and a loud ‘HUSH’ from her attorney.
“I wanted to have Diego feel like I cared about him and that I would be there too, if he needed me.”  Sylvie took a calming breath.  “I, by no means, want to replace their mother, but I do want to be there for them... be an shoulder to cry on, someone that can just sit and listen while they vent.  I’m not their mother and have no claim to them but I want them to be happy.”
“So I am taking that Laura isn’t happy with your current living arrangements?”
“I would say that, yes.”  Sylvie smiled.  “Antonio and I live together... have been for the last month.”
“Does your work interfere with your home life?”
“No more than it would for any other first responder.”
“Thank you, Ms. Brett.”
Sylvie quickly returned to her seat.
The judge cleared his throat.  “Now, in most situations, the law prefers that the children stay with the mother.  Eva, being almost 18, was able to decide that she wanted to live with her father.  Detective Dawson’s proposal for joint custody of Diego is very generous, and I strongly support it.  Now, why does this need to be settled in court, instead of between two attorney’s in a cushy office?”
Laura’s attorney stood.  “My client doesn’t feel it’s generous or fair.  She feels that with her ex-husband’s career and choice of new partner that Diego will not thrive.”
“Judging by what I’ve seen as evidence provided by Diego... his report cards, extra curricular activities as well as a report done by a child psychologist.  There isn’t anything in there to suggest that living with Detective Dawson and Ms. Brett, along with his sister, that Diego would not thrive.”  The judge adjusted his glasses.  “Diego himself wants to live with his father.”
“He’s just a boy, he doesn’t know what he wants.”  Laura blurted out.
“One more time...”  the judge cautioned her.  “Diego, please, for the record... do you want to live with your mother... or your father, Ms. Brett and your sister?”
“My dad, Sylvie and Eva.”  Diego answered clearly.  “I want to stay with them.”
“Then, it is my ruling that Diego will live with his father and that his mother will follow the terms in the agreement drawn up by Detective Dawson’s attorney.”
Laura just gasped.  She couldn’t believe it.
He banged the gavel one last time.  “Court is adjourned.”
Diego hugged his father tightly.  “So, I’m staying with you?”
“That’s what the judge said.”  Antonio hugged both his children.  “Let’s get out of here.”
Laura stopped them.  “When are you going to come get his things?”
“Tomorrow.”  Antonio wasn’t going to draw this out.
“When do I get him again?”
“Ask your attorney, Laura.  It’s all in the paperwork.”  He turned to leave.
Laura grabbed his arm, stopping him.  “You know she’ll never be good enough.”
Antonio pulled his arm back and motioned to Sylvie to take the kids and go to the truck.  “Laura, we’re divorced.  Done.  What I choose to do with my life and who I want to have in my life is no longer your concern.  And just because you have joint custody, it doesn’t mean you get to dictate my life anymore.  I don’t care who you date or fuck... as long as they don’t hurt my kids.  You walked out on me... just remember that.  My happiness no longer depends on you, but on myself.  So, I will be there with Diego tomorrow at 10am to pack his things.  In two weeks, he and Eva have agreed to spend the weekend with you, starting Friday after school.  If that doesn’t work for you, then you’ll have to wait until it works for them.  I won’t force my children to do anything they don’t want to.”  He turned on his heel and left, leaving Laura standing there alone.
Prom was just around the corner and Antonio was a wreck.  He knew that someone had asked Eva to go to prom with her.  He just didn’t know who and it was driving him batty.  He looked at Sylvie who was helping Eva pulled dresses from the rack to try on.  Part of him wanted to have Atwater or Halstead to do a search on who this guy could be, but he knew he had to trust Eva.
“We’re going to go try these on.”  Eva said as they walked passed him.
Antonio looked to Sylvie.  She just smiled at him.  It was then that Antonio wished Diego wasn’t at a friend’s for a sleepover.
While Eva tried on dressed, Sylvie went and sat next to Antonio.  “Everything okay?”
He nodded.  “I guess... I just... Eva’s almost done high school.”
“Antonio... you knew that that was going to happen, right?”
“Yeah... I just... I guess... I missed a lot of her growing up... being under cover a lot and all that.”
Sylvie hugged him.  “It’s going to be okay... we’re just buying a prom dress, not a wedding dress.”
Those last two words made Antonio’s eyes bulge.  “Don’t.  Even.  Go.  There.”
“Just breathe, babe.”  She squeezed his hand.
“Do you know who’s taking her to prom?”
“She didn’t say... but, babe, it’s going to be okay.  Whoever it is.”
“Hey, do you if we’ve had any mail come in the last couple days?”
“Mail?”  Sylvie shook her head.  “No.  Why?”
“Just, hasn’t been any when I go check it afterwork.”
“Maybe the kids get to it and bring it in if there is any.  They generally get home before us anyhow.”
Antonio had thought that too, but he had been expecting some papers to come in.  Maybe he’d just call to see if they’d been sent.
Eva appeared before them in one of the many gowns she was going to try on that afternoon.  “What do you think?”
“I love the colour, Eva.”  Sylvie smiled.  “Really pretty for sure.  How does it feel?”
“A bit tight.”  Eva adjusted the top of the dress.  “And I’m not sure I like the fact that the dress has no straps.”
“I’m inclined to agree, Eva.”  Antonio motioned for her to spin around.  “The neckline is a little low... and it doesn’t look like you’d be able to dance or move much without risking it falling down.”
“I’ll put it in the no pile and keep trying them on.”
3 hours later, they walked out of the store with Eva’s gown and shoes.  Sylvie would take her for jewelry a little later on.  The jewelry was going to be her gift from Sylvie and Gaby.
Once home, Eva rushed to put her things away while Antonio made supper.  Sylvie put the laundry to wash and went to see Eva.  
“Dad’s onto me?”  Eva asked.
Sylvie nodded.  “He knows the mail hasn’t been getting ‘delivered’.”
“I don’t know how to tell him.”  Eva sank into the bed.  “I don’t even know what I’m going to do.”
“You’re going to follow your heart.”  Sylvie said.  “I would suggest over dinner.”
Eva nodded as she pulled out a pile of envelopes from under her mattress.  “Thanks, Sylvie.”
“You’re welcome, Eva.”  Sylvie smiled before heading out to help Antonio finish dinner.
While they ate, Eva thought about what she would say, or how she should bring it up.  Finally, she went with the band-aid method.  She dropped her cutlery and blurted.  “Dad, I have something to tell you.”
Antonio froze mid-bite.  “Uh, okay?”  He looked to Sylvie then back to Eva as he put down his fork.
“I’m the one who’s been hiding all the mail.”  Eva’s cheeks flushed red.
“Why?”
“I... I didn’t want you to see... these.”  She pulled a pile of letters from her hoodie pocket.  She handed them to Antonio.
He took them and looked at all the return addresses.  “These... are all from universities and colleges... and they’re not exactly thin to be rejection letters.”
“No, Dad... they’re all acceptance letters.”
Antonio knew that Eva had been applying to various programs, but he didn’t realize she’d applied to this many.  “How many schools did you apply to?”
“As many as I could.”  Eva replied.  “Ms. Jones, the guidance counsellor... she said the more options the better.”
“Did she say to apply to every university in the whole country?”
“No.”  Eva laughed.  “I just applied to the ones that had programs that really interested me.”
“Which are?”
“Law or medicine.”  Eva blushed.  “I thought about teaching, but after shadowing a few teachers at school, realized that’s not what I wanted.  You need to be a special kind of person to be a teacher... I don’t think I have the patience.”
“So you want to be a lawyer?”  Antonio arched an eyebrow.
“Maybe... or a doctor.  Maybe a nurse?”  Eva sighed.  “I don’t know yet.  I was thinking doing a year of general studies to figure out what my real calling is.”
Antonio thumbed through the envelopes.  While there was great pride in the schools who wanted to have Eva study there, part of him ached knowing that some of them were clear across the country.  “Eva, some of these are Ivy League schools.”
“I know.”  Eva said.  “I... I didn’t think I’d be good enough for them... I didn’t think I’d get in.”
“Eva, you underestimate yourself.”  Antonio and Sylvie said together.
Eva laughed.  “You two definitely are a ship.”
Antonio, ignoring the quip, asked.  “Which school do you want to go to?”  He handed her all the letters.
“I’m really torn between Northwestern and the University of Chicago.”
“Not Harvard... or Stanford?”
“I... I don’t know, Dad... it would be cool to have a degree from them, but... I want to stay closer to home.  Both schools here are really good... some of the best of the world.”
“You don’t want to just stay here because you feel like you have to, do you?”
“At first, a little... but then I see what you, Sylvie, Tia Gaby and everyone else does to make Chicago a better place... I want to do that to.”  She smiled.  “I want to stay home and keep making Chicago a better place.”
“I support you no matter what.”  Antonio smiled.  “Doctor, lawyer, nurse... or anything in between.  I just want you to be happy with whatever you choose to do.”
Prom night was finally here.  Antonio still hadn’t figured out who Eva’s date was but he hadn’t pestered her.  He was proud of his little girl.  She’d chosen to go to the University of Chicago.  She’d start in general studies before making the final decision of which program.  He was pacing in the living room while Sylvie helped Eva finish getting ready.  Diego was sitting on the couch reading a book.  
“Dad?”
“Yeah, Diego?”
“Why are you so nervous?  It’s not your prom.”
Antonio had to laugh.  “I know, but one day Diego, when you have kids, you’ll understand.  No matter how old your kids get, you’ll always be worried about them.”
“You still worry about both of us?”
“Always, buddy.  Always.”  Antonio stopped pacing and sat across from Diego.  “Even Abuela worries about Tia Gaby and I on a regular basis.”
“I know that... she said she says three rosaries a day... one for you, one for Tia Gaby and the other for the rest of us.”
Antonio knew that this was true.  “Yep, so I’m way older than either you or your sister and my own mom worries about me all the time.  She always told me... especially after Eva was born,  ‘Once a parent, always a parent’.  I never knew what that all meant... until I watch you guys grow up.”
“Dad, you know that we don’t want to make you worry, right?”
Antonio nodded.  “Yeah, I know you don’t... but I’ll still worry... even Sylvie worries about you guys.”
Just then Sylvie appeared in front of them.  She cleared her throat.  “She’s ready.”
Antonio slowly stood up and watched as his baby girl came out of her bedroom.  She looked beautiful.  “Eva, you look amazing.”  He went and hugged her.
Eva did a little spin.  The sparkles and crystals on her dress caught the light.  “You think so?”
Antonio kissed her forehead.  “I know so.”
“Wow, sis.”  Diego whistled.  “You look great!”
“I like how Sylvie did my hair.”
Sylvie grinned.  “It works better for you.  You have natural curl.”
Eva hugged Sylvie.  “Thank you.”
There was a knock at the door.
“I’ll get it!”  Diego bolted from the couch to get the door.  “Uh, hi?”
“I’m a little early.”  A young man’s voice said from the entry way.
“Come in... Eva’s ready.”  Diego came back to the living room.
“Hi, Neil.”  Eva’s cheeks flushed a deep crimson.  “You look really handsome.”
Neil stood there in his tux, clutching a small plastic container that held Eva’s wrist corsage.  His jaw dropped.  “Uh, wow.”
Antonio was still processing his daughter’s date’s name.  “Neil...”  He was whispering to himself.
“You look beautiful, Eva.  Just, wow.”  He awkwardly opened the container and pulled out the wristlet out.  “I got this for you.”
Eva extended her wrist, letting him slip it on.  “It’s perfect.  Thank you, Neil.”  She gave him a small peck on the cheek.  
Sylvie, not phased by what was going on, took some pictures with her phone.  “You two look really dashing.”
“Thanks, Sylvie.”  Eva grinned.  “Uh, Dad... you okay?”  She took Neil���s hand and made formal introductions.  “Dad, this is Neil... from Chemistry.”
The lightbulb in Antonio’s head lit up.  “Ah, yes.  Hi, Neil... it’s nice to meet you.”
Neil cleared his throat.  Sylvie saw that there was a small amount of fear in Neil’s eyes.  It was obvious that Neil knew what Antonio did for a living.  “It’s nice to meet you too, sir... though, we’ve met before... at the career day.”
“I knew you looked familiar... you were interested in the CPD.”
“Still am sir.”  Neil was feeling a little more at ease.  “I actually... just got my acceptance letter to join the next Academy class.”
“Congratulations!”  Eva exclaimed.
Antonio could see it then.  “So... this is what you’ve been so secretive about... that you and Neil are... dating?”
“Dad!”  Eva gasped.
“He didn’t know?”  Neil whispered.
“Not until now.”  
Eva’s cheeks were burning even more.  “Ahh!  I can’t stop blushing.”
“Eva... I don’t think...”  Neil tried to calm her.
“No, you’re not helping... at all.”
“Okay, everyone.”  Sylvie stepped in.  “Let’s not get ruffled feathers now.  Everyone’s happy, yeah?”
Antonio took a glance between Eva and Neil.  “Yeah.”  He extended his hand to Neil.  “Have fun tonight... and be safe?”
“Yes, sir.”  Neil nodded.  “We’re going straight to the prom and then I know Eva promised she’d be home early enough... I’ll make sure she gets home on time.”
“Bring her home when you’re both tired.”  Antonio took Sylvie’s hand.  “Just be safe, and don’t make me a grandfather.”
“DAD!”
Sylvie slapped Antonio’s chest.  “Antonio!”
“Hey... it’s better than what I was originally thinking.”  Antonio whispered.
“More pictures.”  Sylvie said.  “Then they can go dance the night away, and we can eat dinner.”
A/N:  There we go... a very long and very over due story.  Hope you all enjoyed it!
