#unconditional love...they each found their best friend....
acourtofquestions · 2 days
Text
For being a “romance” writer I actually think the best love stories shown in the Maasverse are not romantic:
The platonic & “found family” storylines; Primarily the SISTERHOOD is what I think lands next level.
*stay with me here*
The Archeron Sisters: dysfunctional — YES — but aren't siblings always?🤣 They however, not only carry the plot; (example) THEY kill Hybern. But, they ALSO carry the greatest character development; (ex.) NESTA! And in that propel the two; (ex-LITERALLY the BEGINNING of the ENTIRE series) why does Feyre go with Tamlin to Prythian in the first place? — to protect/save her sisters. The 3 of them serve as a key to the heart of the story. Their dysfunction as children (reminder: they were children) revolved both around carrying the weight of their parents mistakes, a village that abandoned & scorned, and their failures to themselves & each other; but in the end, they are redeemed. At the end of the day, they ARE sisters, & they love each other; they will go to the grave for that, they will come home to that, and they will keep trying & surviving, fighting with & for that… Without them there is no story… it ends long before it begins; the high lady dies with her child, the man of shadow never laughs, the son of autumn stays in suffocating spring, the blood letter bleeds to death, no ships appear in the war, the mortal world is forgotten falling to ruin unseen & unspoken, the world crumbles under the mountain as violet eyes go out, no paint coats the cabin, the eldest daughter freezes in her barren bitter cold, the flower child wilts in the bereavement of once being beloved, the girl stays alone never knowing more never feeling love never having a thing to fight for; she never kills the wolf. The story is untold without the Archeron Sisters.
The Valkyrie: beyond the Archeron sisters we have a sisterhood that was built out of shared trauma & shared strength beyond blood-bound; a storyline that I found quite literally healing to read (especially for women who have lived through trauma and abuse; a group that’s voice is not often heard enough) & hitting home dearly for any woman who has experienced found sisterhood; you know, it is a different kind of love; one that would go to war for each other, a love that knows more, adores wholly (seeing & knowing better, more, deeper, further; unconditional). Their friendship is very VERY powerful; from the quite literal physical sense, and the greater sense of empowerment (both to the characters, storyline/plot & the readers); plus extra props to being able to change Nesta’s mind (that alone is a feat worthy of godesshood😂). And the heroine’s of the storyline; one that exceeds a singular book & enters the real world; almost becoming an entire series of a new world (even without the tale to read; though I hope for more someday).
I can’t speak of Valkyries & Archeron Sisters without speaking to our other ancient brethren of heroes; THE BAT BOYS: I feel like another group in contrast that is not always given a voice that allows emotion is friendships among men (they are either acceptable by “bro” codes with a double-back-pat ONLY, or demeaned as for showing normal human emotion) so, I appreciate that here we have powerful & strong heroes (that are portrayed as such) while having platonically loving friendships/found family (that does not revolve around demeaning women). And what a powerful/beautiful century spanning tear-jerking true-love showing story it is; one that is a key to the heart & psyche of these characters; & that I think the story would not exist without. They have loved each other through everything; from start to end, they have fought side by side, they were the heart before there was a story. They were what they were fighting for… you could say the true treasure was the friends they made along the way… like 500 years ago… & I mean doesn’t that say enough? — Who would you spend 500 years with? — Well, whatever the answer is: THAT is true love.

Hiii, I don't really know if you made a post about this or not, but can I ask what you think of damian and dick's relationship? you have a really deep insight on the bat family's relationship, so I'm curious on how you would describe those two
Damian and Dick are probably the most important to each other in the family with the other being each other's most favorite person in the world. Dick is Damian's father, brother, mentor, and best friend. Actually it's reflective of Dick's relationship with Bruce but none of the toxic expectations and brute force of misplaced responsibilities.
Dick is loving and understanding of Damian and he's able to read him before Damian can even express his words.
For example, when the Black Lantern things open the caskets of Martha and Thomas Wayne, Dick asks Damian to help him wrap up the bodies but-
Tumblr media
Blackest Night: Batman Issue #1
He's able to anticipate and take care of Damian before Damian can even tell him what he's thinking. That's the level of love and understanding Dick has of him.
Damian is insanely protective over Dick. When Deadman, Boston Brand, jumps into Dick, Damian gets super protective of his Batman.
Tumblr media
Blackest Night: Batman Issue #1
Also Dick CANNOT STAND IT when someone hurts or insults Damian.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Blackest Night: Batman Issue #1
Honestly I think Dick loves Damian's sass. Even when he says he wants to kill people Dick's just like, "not today another day kiddo" which is just super heartwarming when you hear their banter.
Anyways, Dick and Damian have the funniest back and forth!
Tumblr media
Batman and Robin (2009) Issue #21
Damian values each and every word of Dick's.
Tumblr media
Batman: Streets of Gotham Issue #1
While Damian respects Batman for what he created and wants to be appreciated as his son, Damian just loves Dick for who he is. I know some people think Bruce may be jealous of Dick and Damian's relationship, and while it's possible, I think Bruce is just super proud and happy. His greatest joy in life comes from Dick succeeding and he would have found it weird if Dick and Damian didn't get along because he inherently believes that Dick is the peak of goodness.
What I love most about Dick and Damian is that Damian is always shown as a loveable kid when he's with Dick. In the Batman and Robin (2011) comics with Bruce and Damian vs the Batman and Robin (2009) comics with Dick and Damian, Damian is much softer. Part of this comes from Bruce's refusal to treat him as robin originally, but their interactions are more stilted than the easy-going and funny ones between Damian and his big brother. But here's where it gets interesting. The writers write the characters in terms of how they would react to each other. What perception they would have of each other. So subconsciously the writers are creating the characters based on how they look at each other - meaning, Dick only sees Damian's good sides and finds his darker ones humorous whereas Bruce sees more of Damian's darker sides and has to rework himself to acknowledge Damian's growth.
I find that so fascinating how a character's personality in accordance with their relationships feeds back into the writer's writing rather than the writer influencing the relationships.
The most Dick has said about Damian willing to kill criminals is-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Batman: Streets of Gotham Issue #3
Another reason why Damian values Dick aside from being on the receiving end of his unconditional love is that Dick treats Damian like an equal. Dick doesn't command Damian to stay at his side at all times, he send Damian to do one task while he finishes up the other half. This indicates the amount of trust and faith he has in Robin's abilities and Damian in turn respects that.
Something that needs to be brought to attention is that just as much as Dick stops Damian from killing people, he is also his number one aiding and abetting partner.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nightwing (2016) Issue #1
I LOVE THE MEAN LITTLE GRIN ON HIS FACE!!
My favorite part is Dick makes time for Damian just to have fun. He's a mentor and a father, but he's also the best brother someone could ask for.
Tumblr media
Nightwing (2016) Issue #4
Honestly Gotham War Issue #138 was so confusing to me because there's just no way Damian would pander mindlessly to receive Bruce's acceptance. He literally broke from Batman to become his own person - he ran away - and suddenly he's back and begging for Bruce's love?? Even fighting over Dick is fine but the lack of connection between them?
Damian is single handedly the most important person in the world to Dick.
Damian is Dick's son.
Tumblr media
Robin (2021) Issue #5
I find their relationship special because this is the only in his entire time life that Dick has ever given away a family momento of his own volition first. His parents and his background mean the utmost to him; he cradles the memories with longing and love. But inspite all this, he's giving away the last piece of family history. No, giving away isn't the right word. He's passing down his legacy. Damian is his son, he's literally inheriting the Grayson legacy in the way that only Dick can give. Bruce gave the kids Dick's mantle but he cannot give any of them Dick's history but Dick gave that to Damian. That's beautiful.
He straight up says it too
Tumblr media
Nighwing (2016) Issue #20
"When your dad came back, there was a moment I thought it would be better for you if you stayed with me. As my partner. As my..." "Really?" "Yeah."
DC SAID DICK AND DAMIAN FATHER AND SON RIGHTS AS CLOSE AS THEY COULD WITHOUT TAKING AWAY BRUCE'S BLOOD CLAIM.
Damian considers Dick his father.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nighwing (2016) Issue #18
"Finding a new life. Considering a child to replace me. I don't know what I will be...alone. I need you here, Richard."
"Considering a child to replace me. "
Damian is heartbroken at the idea that Dick will have a kid and move on.
He loves Dick so much he goes all the way to Bludhaven just because he loves and misses him after Bruce took over as Batman.

How will you meet your next best friend? ft. Cheng Xiao
Pile 1 -> Pile 2
Pile 3 -> Pile 4
Pile 1
6oS, 7oW, 5oW, 2oP, AoC, Sun (4oC)
When you meet your new best friend, it's probably going to happen during a time of change or after you've moved to a new job, city, or friend group. After this move and upon meeting, you might have a little disagreement or argument with this person. But once you get to know each other better, you'll quickly realize how much you have in common and how well you complement each other.
Once that happens, you'll become almost inseparable, so don't be too quick to dismiss them! Some people might even think you're secretly dating, but that will only bring you closer together. You'll bask in the warm feeling of knowing that you've found one of your platonic soulmates in this lifetime, which not everyone gets to experience. With this special connection, you and your future bestie will share many unforgettable moments together. In the end, you'll both be happy that you gave this friendship a chance.
Pile 2
AoC, Death, World, Sun, 4oW, 4oS, 7oW, 2oC (7oP)
Pile 2, I see that as soon after you decide to end a relationship or connection that has run its course, you will be ready to meet your next BFF. And they will be like a breath of fresh air entering your life as you close a chapter you've invested a lot of time, effort, and energy into. Most likely, this magical encounter will happen at an event or celebration where you're trying to distract yourself from your emotions and meet new people for purely platonic reasons.
You're on a mission to rediscover the happiness, freedom, and the carefree side of life that you may have forgotten existed, and your new BFF will be your partner in crime along the way. Together, you will have countless fun and joyous experiences as you both shape your lives on your own terms. This connection will be highly valued and cherished by both of you, and you'll defend and protect it at all costs. It's a friendship that will stand the test of time.
Pile 3
2oS, 10oW, Tower, Moon, 2oC, Empress, 8oS, AoC (Justice)
You might be someone who's not too keen on making new connections or perhaps you're often accused of being stuck in your ways. But this new friend you're about to make will completely change your perspective on vulnerability and closeness, and it'll be for the better.
For many of you, this person will enter your life unexpectedly, and you might have doubts about their authenticity or question if they're truly who they claim to be. Due to past experiences of being hurt, deceived, or taken advantage of, some of you may be cautious when someone appears too good to be true. It may take some time for you to warm up to them. However, once you do, they will become one of your most cherished treasures in this lifetime. For some, they may already have children of their own, or they could play a role similar to that of a nurturing mother figure, making you feel loved, cared for, and secure enough to be your authentic self around others. They will always have your best interests at heart.
I can see that this person will help you overcome any internal barriers that prevent you from expressing your deepest thoughts and emotions with others. In return, you will shower them with unconditional love and reveal a side of yourself that very few people ever get to witness. You will enjoy each other's company for many years to come.
Pile 4
8oP. AoW, 5oW rev, 9oS rev, Empress, 9oP, Sun, 10oP (8oW)
Chances are, you'll meet your next BFF at work or when you dive into a new project that ignites your passion. And despite the cutthroat and competitive nature of your job or career, you'll connect with someone who shares your kind and nurturing spirit. Deep down, you and your bestie are both softies who appreciate having someone you can be yourself around. This special bond will make the work week more bearable and give you something to look forward to.
Pile 4, you and your future BFF are an amazing match. Not only are you both creative, hardworking and genuine, but you’re also not afraid to be independent. self-sufficient and bold! And as you progress in your careers, you will motivate and cheer each other on because seeing the other person succeed will bring you both joy. Get ready—this person is on their way to you soon!
Thanks for reading 🔮✨

Good evening, I was hoping for some headcannons of Remus Lupin dating a Ravenclaw girl. Thank you very much.
<3
⋆ ˚⁀➷ ₊˚⊹⋆ remus lupin dating a ravenclaw headcanons.
pairing. young!remus lupin x ravenclaw!fem!reader.
warnings. fluff, kissing.
Tumblr media
you met each other in the library late at night, he was interested in what you were reading but didn't care to ask, until you couldn't help but notice him peeking over every second and went up to him.
at first the conversations would feel slightly awkward, but soon it felt free talking to him.
he soon introduced you to his friends, who teased him constantly without care.
they'd leave you alone for many moments on purpose, but you both quickly realized what they were doing.
it's not like you minded the fact that they left you alone with him, overtime you both grew closer with one another.
as friends when it was close to the full moon he'd be scared to hurt you or lash out towards you.
eventually one night you found out his secret, finding him in a small underground den covered in scars and in debris, you helped him to the hospital wing.
after he was nourished back to health, he realized you didn't care what he was and his feelings grew even stronger for you.
ever since that moment, you two had been dating with nothing but unconditional love for each other.
he'd still be hesitant of hurting you, but knowing you won't give up on him.
he'd be surprised at your ideas and creativity, it's one of his favorite things about you.
although you aren't in the same house, he'd still find a way to make time to spend together.
chess games together, all the timeee.
helping him with potions homework and him helping you with DADA.
his friends would be lowkey biased about you being in ravenclaw and not gryffindor, but once they see you're true personality they eventually loosen up.
he insists on spending time in your common room more, as it's less boring with the night sky as the best view.
he considers the ravenclaw common room the prettiest out of all the rooms, even better than that because of the great book selection in it, where he could spend hours reading and cuddling with you.
he loves seeing you in his sweaters, taking a little polaroid every time you wear them.
every time you're around Remus and Sirius at the same sirius does tease, yet it dosen't bother either you or remus.
all types of cuddles all the time, wherever you are.
he is alright with pda but it's not his favorite, he really leaves it up to you wether you want to show each other off completely.
he's protective as you as you are for him, always ensuring that you're safe and far away during the full moon.
after full moons you're stitching him up, cleaning and caring for him.
lazy afternoon cuddles while his dorm is empty, quietly and peacefully holding each other.

— BUT YOU'LL NEVER HAVE MY HEART : twisted wonderland
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[synopsis] riddle never got the freedom he wanted, and now he has to marry a woman he doesn't even know
[characters] riddle rosehearts x reader
[extra] this is all pure angst and arranged marriage
The venue looked impeccable—a place where someone of his social standing would marry. The guests were renowned people, contacts his parents made, and people his parents advised him to have an amicable relationship with. Riddle doesn't know any of them, yet he still had to greet everyone with a smile.
This is his wedding, and it just feels... cold. This isn't how he had pictured his wedding would be.
When was the last time he saw his friends? It's not like they would be allowed to come, but he found himself missing them every day. Are Ace and Deuce just as close as they were before? Is Cater still up to the latest trends? Did Trey continue working for his family business?
And most importantly, are you doing well? Have you met someone else?
Everything went downhill the day he graduated. He thought, just like everybody else, that he had made progress in becoming more independent and that maybe, he could have the life he wanted instead of the one his parents planned for him, but the second he tried to open his mouth to tell his mother, he froze.
Riddle got his medical degree just like his parents expected of him, and he cut contact with everybody else without any explanation. The calls and texts kept coming, but they were never answered. What could he have told you after he suddenly disappeared? That he will never get to be together with you for the rest of your lives, like he promised? That he will think of you every day, and please don't forget him either? No, he can't do that to you; he can't let you mourn a relationship that wasn't meant to be. It's better if you believe he never loved you in the first place.
And now here he was, waiting to recite vows filled with empty promises of loving each other unconditionally, until death does them apart. But Riddle doesn't mean any of it, and the girl standing in front of him doesn't either.
It hurt. It hurt so much, he got a little taste of freedom only for it to get snatched from him not once but twice. He felt like that kid trapped inside his house again—that kid who got to experience unconditional love from his first friends only to get it taken away.
He wants to see you again, so badly. 
But if he sees you again, can he bring himself to say it to your face? What if he throws himself in your arms and cries, apologizing and begging you to forgive him? He's sure you would look as beautiful as the day he last saw you. Riddle wishes to see you so badly, yet he can't bring himself to even search for you. He feels like a coward and a traitor. He betrayed everybody who believed in him; he hurt them again, just like he did when he was a kid.
Please let this all be a nightmare, let him wake up in your arms in the middle of the night, let him tell you about this horrible nightmare he had as you calm him down. Please let him hold you, touch your cheeks, anything, anything that proves you're real.
As the wedding officiant kept talking and Riddle stood there on the aisle, he allowed himself to fantasize for a few seconds about the wedding you both could have had.
It would have been small and intimate. A wedding where Cater cheers and takes more photos than the hired photographer, where Trey is the best man, where Ace, Deuce, and Grim bawl their eyes out over seeing their best friend marry, and where Chenya sneaks to the catering table and eats as many pastries as he can. A wedding where he could place the ring in your hand and kiss you. Oh sevens, how he wished it was you standing next to him in the aisle, how beautiful you would look, and how giddy he would feel hearing you say yes.
But that would never happen.
“You may now kiss the bride.”

~ Steddie x reader imagine 🌞
Steddie x reader is the definition of sunlight and honey. Everything soft, sweet and gentle.
Especially Steddie x reader who have moved in together and are basking in the happiness they bring one another.
My headcannon is Eddie and the reader were together first, dating shortly after Eddie graduated and the events of season 4 calmed down and everything finds some sort of normality.
Because of Eddie’s trailer being destroyed, he proposes the reader and him find an apartment and move in together. Life’s short and he doesn’t want to waste anytime with the love of his life.
So after looking around they come to the conclusion they may need some more help and consider finding a roommate. And that’s when they have the brilliant idea of asking Steve.
Steve’s wanted to live his own life away from his parents for a long time, but he’s been scared of taking the final leap.
So when Eddie and the reader, two people he cares for greatly, ask him to be their roommate it’s a no brainier.
Eventually the perfect apartment is found and the longing begins. Eddie and the reader are so in love it’s disgusting, and they aren’t wasting any more time. They make sure their love for each other is known, because the events of season 4 showed them what it was like to almost loose one of your favourite people.
And of course with so much love in air, Steve feels left out. Gone are the days where King Steve bats his eyelashes and the ladies come rushing. While he is still charming, cute and wonderful, no one seems to stick around.
That’s when he lets his mind drift to the two idiots in love that live with him. He would describe their love as pure and authentic. No pretences, just the utmost admiration for another person. Your person.
He wants what they have. And as time goes on he realises he wants them as well. Their love, their freedom and unapologetic personalities. Everything he’s dreamed of and searched for.
And naturally Eddie and the reader’s unconditional love spills over and latches onto Steve. At first they thought it was friendly and a natural part of loving someone platonically.
But then they realised that you don’t love your friends this way. And they should have known, they went through the same process. Loving your friend so much it hurts and you never want them to leave your side. Feeling you might die if they don’t give you attention all day every day.
After this realisation, Eddie and the reader step around the subject, trying to gauge the other’s reaction. Starting with small jokes about them being a throuple.
These gradually turn into showing Steve small acts of affection, like hugs and hand holding. Just to make sure he feels included. And because they’re both idiots in love it takes them a while to bravely bring up the topic of liking Steve in a way they shouldn’t like Steve.
Once they’ve shared all the feelings, they agree to bring it up to Steve. Because why not, if he says no they’ll go back to being best friends and no harm is done. Well that’s what they hope happens.
When Steve agrees Eddie and the reader are truly shocked to their core! They didn’t expect baby girl Steve to say yes, that he’s been having the same feelings.
Of course the 80s bring challenges for people who don’t fit the picture perfect mold, so Steddie and the reader agree to keep this to themselves and close friends. Their love for each other is too important and they won’t accept the judgement of close minded people.
So their apartment becomes a safe haven of exploring new relationship dynamics and pushing the boundaries of what they thought love was.
It’s sugar, spice and everything nice. Their souls blend together and the outside world disappears.
The new journey they’re embarking on is truly exciting and magnificent. Now they’re three idiots in love and they wouldn’t want it any other way.

Billy Hargrove x Harrington!reader
words count: + 4k
summary: You become friends with Max, this means that you get to know Billy better
warnings: Steve Harrington!mean, little angst, fluff, mild sexual mentions, I think that's it all, tell me if I'm missing anything else
a/n: Hi!! I hope you are well, this is my first fanfic in my life. I hope you like it and if you have any criticism, let it be constructive. English is not a first language so if there are any mistakes, I'm sorry!!!
For a long time you thought that love was not going to be present in your teenage life, you thought that the romance in the movies was exclusively for the movies and that it did not extend to the real world. Plus you took it for granted that you were never going to fall in love and that no one was going to fall in love with you.
Everyone knew who your brother was, when they talked about you they referred to you as Harrington's little sister and not your first name. It was difficult at first for you to live in the shadow of your older brother, but over the years your skin had turned iron and those comments no longer affect you like before.
It is because of all this that your life had become very simple and boring, you did not have as many friends as you wanted, but at least you had people to take refuge with when you needed it, among them were Nancy and Jonathan, although their love for each other made you feel a little alone, they were always there to give you their unconditional support and their shoulders to cry on.
It was quite common for you to be crying in the bathrooms along with Nancy, this case was because some of the more popular kids had played a prank on you at lunch. They thought that bathing you with their drinks was something that everyone would find very funny and they were not wrong because a large part of the dining room began to laugh as if they had just told the best joke of their lives. That's why you came out with your head held high and when nothing saw you, you started running towards the women's bathrooms.
While you were crying and washing your face you didn't realize that Nancy had rushed in to comfort and help you. A few minutes after helping you and calming you down, you break the silence that had existed since she found you in the bathrooms.
"I don't understand what's wrong with them, I've never done anything to them and they always try to humiliate me in front of everyone" you say while looking at Nancy searching for an answer that could help you cope with the situation.
She sighs, searching for the right words, finally finding them. "I would love to know why they do this to you, I would also like to know why your brother doesn't do anything about it" She says with a tone of hatred towards my brother.
"You know how he is, he would never fight for me with his friends, that's why they do this to me"
"It doesn't mean that you can't get angry with him, you should say something to him when you're home." Before you can answer, someone knocks on the bathroom door.
"Girls, are you okay?" Jonathan's unmistakable voice is heard, he must have come as quickly as he can after finding out what happened in the dining room.
Nancy tells him that we are fine and that we will see him after school, which ends the conversation that the two of you were having before he interrupted you.
When the exit bell rings, everyone quickly leaves their classrooms to get home as soon as possible and to rest properly, since it is Friday, many must be in a hurry to prepare for a party at the house of some of the popular ones, luckily this weekend is not yours.
You are one of the last to leave, that is why your friends are waiting for you to say goodbye or make some plans in the next few days, as you get closer you hear how some of the popular ones point at you and laugh at you, because your clothes were stained by the drinks some of them threw, you decide to ignore them and continue walking to reach Nancy and Jonathan.
After having talked for a few minutes we decide that we will call each other to see if we can arrange an outing, with that they say goodbye and you walk home, since obviously Steve was not going to risk his reputation by taking you in his car.
After walking for a while you come across a girl of about 13 years old riding her skateboard, her reddish hair being blown back by the air that hits her face while she is moving. It seems strange to you that she is alone so you decide to run as close as possible.
"Hey girl, are you alone?" When you ask her the question, the girl stops suddenly, when she turns to look at you, her features relax and that's when she starts talking.
"Yes, my brother sent me home on the skateboard because I left him waiting after school" She says as if it were something unimportant.
When you hear that I can't believe it, how is it possible that her brother is so cold? That's when you remember that your brother is the same as you and you feel more sorry for the girl.
"Well, you weren't the only one, my brother never took me in his car since it was given to him" You tell the girl that so she doesn't feel so alone because of her brother.
Her face wrinkles in disgust and then changes to a grimace of annoyance. "I don't understand why older brothers are always so stupid." That's when she decides to roll his eyes.
"Yes, they are stupid"
After that unexpected meeting, you and Max become kind of friends, causing you to accompany her to her house every day and then go to yours. It was really very fun to spend time with her, she was a very sweet girl who preferred to cover that sweetness with rudeness although she didn't completely succeed.
For several weeks it becomes part of your routine until one day it ends.
While you were waiting for Max outside school, you found out from one of her classmates that she was sick and that they needed someone to deliver her homework. That's why you volunteered since the route to your house would take you to passed by Max's house. With that the children thank you and say goodbye to go, get their bikes and leave.
When you're walking to Max's house you hope you don't run into his brother, Billy Hargrove. In the weeks that you became friends with Max you found out who his brother was, you would never have guessed since they didn't look alike at all, then you found out that they are actually not brothers but stepbrothers. But in the same way your nerves did not dissipate, Billy was known for having a rather strong temper and also for having little patience, you did not like the combination at all. You didn't want him to get mad at you for being at his house and then decide to get revenge for it at school, just thinking about it gives you chills.
But still that didn't stop you from going to Max's house, she was your friend and she needed to keep up with school regardless of whether she liked her brother or not.
When you got home the nerves were present again and you didn't really know what to do, and seeing the Camaro on the driveway from the garage sends a chill down your spine. You decided to shake yourself to erase any drop of fear regarding Billy, he was not a monster, he was a boy the same age as your brother, with that you relaxed a little, giving yourself the courage to go knock on the door.
You waited a few seconds before someone answered, when the door opened you were greeted by a completely sweaty Billy with a muscular shirt that revealed his physique. You may have liked Billy, but you couldn't deny the attractiveness he possessed and why all the girls were crazy about him.
"Who are you and what are you doing at my door?" The question snaps you out of your thoughts and brings you back to real life with Billy scowling at your presence.
"Hello, I'm Max's friend, I came to bring her her homework because she is sick" You stay silent for a few seconds and then add. "Hers classmates asked me to give it to her."
Before Billy answered, a slightly hoarse voice was heard behind him. "Hello, sorry I went to school today, mom made me stay in bed" Max says while pushing hers brother a little so he can see me.
"Hello Max, don't worry, it's best that you recover as soon as possible. I have your homework here, I can bring it again tomorrow if you need it."
"I appreciate it, I won't be able to go for a few days" She says with a little sadness.
“Don't be sad, the most important thing now is that you recover as soon as possible. Plus I need my travel companion to be very healthy to come home on time every day, right?” With that the girl nods quickly with a big smile, agreeing with you. “Okay, I'm going home now, I'll bring your homework at the same time tomorrow.” When you say that, you turn around and walk through the Hargroves' front yard while waving goodbye to Max.
The next three days you continue going to Max's house to leave hers homework and the one who opens the door is always Billy with his frown, you don't pay much interest to the subject since it's probably not something personal but he is like that with everyone and not only with you. But that doesn't mean that that attitude doesn't bother you.
It's already the fifth day that Max is sick, so you repeat the same process already done the previous four days, but this time you have an obstacle to overcome and that is Billy Hargrove. When you were about to cross the street, a blue Camaro with the windows down stopped in front of you and inside was the boy with sky blue eyes.
“Are you going to my house?” He asks with a tired tone.
“Yes, going to leave Max's homework.” You are surprised that the new and now popular boy is talking to you. You thought you were a nuisance to him, not a person he wanted to talk to.
“Get in and I'll take you, I don't want you to interrupt me again like you did all week.”
You hesitate at first, you don't think it's appropriate to get on since you completely like him, you also know that someone will see you and rumors are generated regarding our relationship, which is completely non-existent. A few seconds pass before you end up accepting, it's not like they saw you having any approach that would imply that you were dating or something like that.
You get into the camaro and shortly after you have closed the door the vehicle takes off at great speed. You get scared at first, but you end up getting used to the speed.
“So you're the one who accompanies my sister home, at first I thought it was a miracle to return alone, but then I began to suspect” He looks at you for a few seconds and then looks back at the road.
“Yes, I saw her for the first time when she was returning on her skateboard and I thought it was better that I accompany her to make sure nothing happens to her.” You say that with the intention of making her realize what an idiot he is for letting her leave on her own, but it seems that he does not give it importance or does not realize it.
“Well, thanks for that” He says that and then adds. “I wouldn't like to imagine what I would do if something happened to Max.”
“I understand, but you could also wait a little longer when you leave school. I know you don't like to wait, but she is a girl and she shouldn't come back alone on her skateboard” You say and then add. “You never know what can happen out there.”
Without realizing it, you are already at the door of his house. When he finishes parking, he turns to you and with a face that shows much more than you thought you would ever see from Billy in your life, he decides to tell you. “Believe me, I know.”
It's been weeks since the last time Billy took you to his house so you could hand in hers homework to Max and although you don't like to admit it, you still think about the short conversation you had in his cabin. You saw some guilt in him along with remorse for not being able to do something. At some moments you think that you imagined it, but you know that it is a way of lying to yourself, he in some sense is honest with you.
Your thoughts about Billy are interrupted by the bell that announces the end of classes, you quickly leave with your classmates. When you are already at the main exit of the high school, you see some of the popular kids laughing in a way that makes you understand that they are planning something that you would not like to know about.
It is when you are passing a few meters near them that you feel how they are getting you wet, by the time you realize you are soaked from head to toe, you don't know where to go so they stop laughing and meanwhile you curse yourself for having chosen a white shirt that shows through your bra
Everyone around you laughs, you even see Steve being one of those who finds the joke very funny. Everything is laughter until you hear how someone is hit, causing the laughter to turn into screams of horror on the part of the girls and hatred on the part of the boys. You turn around to see where all the commotion is coming from and find Billy straddling one of the boys who decided to get all wet.
You try to get closer, but a hand grabs your arm and you see it's Max. “It's better that you don't come closer, let's go to the car and wait for him to finish all this.”
You hesitate for a moment, but end up agreeing with her. So you go with the girl to the car, but for a moment you turn around to see how Billy is doing and just at that moment your eyes meet so that in a second they are lost again.
It takes a little over 30 minutes for Billy to return and get into the car. You are in the passenger seat and that allows you to observe in detail that he did not come out of that fight completely unscathed. His lower lip is split, his cheeks have some scratches and his clothes are a little dirty from rolling on the floor.
Before you can break the silence, Max comes out from the back to poke hers head between the front seats. “Did you give those idiots the beating they deserved?”
“Max!” You say quickly after the girl's comment. “Don't say those kinds of words.”
The girl ignores you and the older brother does the same. “Yes, I gave them shit to eat, don't worry” He says while looking in the rearview mirror, then he turns a little towards you. "Are you okay?"
When you listen to him he sounds like he is really concerned and will care about your well-being. “Yes, it was just a little water, I'm fine” You say a little embarrassed by so much interest on his part.
“Okay, then I'll take you home” And with that he tears off his blue Camaro just like his eyes.
Obviously, you end up getting sick since the idiots got you wet in November. That caused you to now be in bed for a whole week. Luckily you had Nancy, who came to visit you whenever she could after school and told you all the new things. That was your favorite source of entertainment, then you had to watch movies or read a book, it was clear that doing homework was not on the list of entertainment but torture.
But besides that, you also took the time to think about what Billy did for you. You never thought anyone would do that for you in your life, least of all the great Billy Hargrove. Thinking about how he looked in his cabin after the fight caused your cheeks to turn pink and your body temperature to rise. From the beginning you blamed the cold, but you knew very well that that was a lie and a pretty big one.
You continued with your sick routine until Wednesday, the day your brother walked through your bedroom door looking to talk. You thought he was going to talk about how Billy defended you and then drove you home in his truck, but he actually surprised you with an apology.
“I come to apologize to you for everything that happened.” Look at a fixed point on the ground. “I know that I am not the best brother of all and that what I did to you does not deserve any kind of forgiveness, but believe me, I am very sorry. The jokes, the contempt, the ignoring you are things you don't deserve, you are a great sister to me and I return all that to you with pure shit."
You don't know what to say so he took advantage of it to continue. “I understand if you don't want my forgiveness, but I think I need you to know that I don't want anything bad to happen to you. The last joke was my breaking point."
“But you laughed Steve, I saw how you laughed” You say with a voice that was about to break.
“I know, you don't know how rubbish and shit I feel” After a few seconds he looks up at you. “I swear I want to go back in time and change the things I did to you.”
“I understand, but you have to know that it will take a lot to forgive you.” You say, determined that you will not let him have the easy way.
With that he gets up and leaves your room in silent.
Two days after the episode you had with Steve, while you are watching a movie that is being played on code, your mother enters in your room and tells you that a classmate of yours came to bring your homework. At first it seemed strange to you since Nancy was the one who always brought your homework, that generated great curiosity in you and you told your mother to let it go.
That's when you see Billy enter your room in his jeans and jean jacket. For a moment you thought it was all a dream and that you were about to wake up shortly, but fortunately none of that was an invention of your brain and subconscious. Luckily you woke up from that daydream before he thought you were a complete weirdo.
“Billy, what a surprise, I didn't expect you to come to my house.”
“Yes, well, Nancy please me to bring since she wasn't going to be able to come today” He says while handing you the papers where the homework was.
“I'm sick, but I'm not stupid, for nothing in this world would Nancy ask you a favor” With that you make Billy smile and you don't know why, but your stomach begins to secrete butterflies that leave you totally confused.
“You caught me, I asked her if I could bring your homework. At first she refused, but after I told her why I wanted to bring it, she gave it to me.”
“And it may be curious, but why did you want to bring me my homework?” You expected any answer except the one he actually gave you.
“Because I wanted to come see you and this was the best excuse I could find” With that his eyes meet yours and your cheeks instantly turn reddish.
After that your friendship with the Hargrove brothers strengthened, now every day after school you went to Billy's blue camaro so that he would then stop at his house to drop Max off and then go to your house to drop you off. It really was a dynamic that you liked, but that didn't just stop there, every time you passed Billy in the hallways he would greet you with his smile and blue eyes, the first few times it threw you off, but it was a matter of time before you customs
The weeks continued to pass and your relationship with Billy was taking shape, it is true that at the beginning you were connected by Max, but some days the red-haired girl went to her friends' house to do projects causing you to have to return together in the car. he. One of those days you saw that Billy was feeling a little strange, you thought a lot about asking him what was wrong, but then you thought about it and you preferred to leave it because you felt that your friendship was not at the level of telling each other how the other felt.
We entered the cabin and after a few minutes the boy decided to break the silence. “Hey, can I tell you something?”
“Of course, is something bad happening?”
For a moment he hesitates, but it lasts a second before he begins to speak. “The truth is that I don't have the best relationship with my father, he is someone I don't like dealing with at all” Take a moment and continue. “He hits me, every time I do something wrong he hits me, especially when something happens with Max, he takes it out on me. That's why sometimes I act like a jerk around her and believe me I don't want to. But the anger that being hit by him generates in me I have to take out on someone else and it's always on some guy at a party or on Max.”
You have no idea what to say, that's why Billy decides to continue. “I know that none of this justifies my behavior, I know that. But I needed to tell someone, I couldn't live with this in me, you know?”
You didn't say anything, you didn't expect this kind of confession from Billy at all, you always found him to be a tough boy who didn't let anything or anyone get in his way, but it seems that appearances can be very deceiving. “I'm so sorry Billy, you don't deserve this to happen to you, I can't imagine how difficult this situation must be for you.”
You stay silent for a second, searching for the right words. “I'm glad I'm your trusted person to tell me this.”
“Believe it or not, you are one of the few people I can trust” That ends the conversation.
Saturday night, you are alone at home since your parents are traveling and your brother is out partying, that leaves you as the owner of the house and that means that you will use that power to watch romantic movies in the living room.
You are currently watching Sixteen Candles, one of your favorites. You don't know how many times you've seen it, but you're sure it's more than ten. When you are halfway through the movie you hear someone knocking on the back door, the moment you look there you almost lose the soul of your body. It was Billy and all his clothes were bloody. You moved as fast as you could in your state of shock. When the door opened Billy walked into your kitchen as if nothing was wrong.
“Billy, what the fuck happened to you?!” You can hear the desperation and worry in your voice.
“Don't worry, baby, I feel totally fine” When you can see how he slurs his words a little, that's when you get closer and feel the smell of alcohol that comes off.
“Billy, you reek of alcohol, how the hell did you get here? I hope you don't tell me by car."
He remains silent answering your question.
Already irritated with the situation, you send Billy to sit on the couch and wait for you to bring him some ice along with the first aid kit. You didn't understand why he had decided to come to your house in that state, but it seems like he reads minds as he answers your question.
“I came here because I had nowhere else to go. Besides, I like you."
With that confession you go blank, obviously you liked him too. The relationship he had formed as a friend had become something more meaningful to you without him knowing. You thought it was all due to alcohol, it was impossible for someone like him to like you, it was pure logic.
That's why you decided to ignore him and preferred to focus on healing his wounds. You could see that he had gotten into a pretty nasty fight, but luckily it was all superficial and nothing very serious.
“I love that you are so close to me, I would love to kiss you right now, lots and lots of kisses” You couldn't deny that it gave you a little tenderness, seeing a boy as tough as Billy talking like that made your butterflies wake up.
“You're very drunk now, it's best that you go to my room to sleep so my brother doesn't see you when you come back.” As you say it, you stop to start picking up the big man with sea eyes.
“You want us to go to your room so I can do everything to you that I've been thinking about since we met, then I'm the pervert.”
You laugh a little, but you know very well that it is to hide what you really feel and it is an infernal heat between your legs. You don't understand how someone can make a room turn into a giant-sized oven.
After leaving Billy in your bed, you prepare a mattress on the floor so you can sleep next to him in case he wakes up not knowing where he is. You lock your room in case your brother decides to check on you even though you thought it unlikely. The moment your head hits the pillow you are already in dreamland dreaming about Billy Hargrove kissing you.
The light coming through the window wakes you up, you don't really know what time it is, but you assume it's very early on a Sunday. When your eyes are fully open, a hoarse voice surprises you.
“Good morning baby, did you sleep well?” With that, a rather misaligned Billy greets you, but that smile makes you fall in love in a thousand ways. “Thank you for yesterday, you could have kicked me out, but you decided to help me.”
“It's nothing, I couldn't just leave you like this.”
There was silence before Billy decided to drop his bomb. “I know yesterday I said I liked you” You were expecting it to be worded like any other. “And I wasn't lying, I really like you.”
With that, sleep completely disappears from your body, causing you to sit in bed quickly. “If you are saying this because I help you, you should know that I don't need it, I don't need your pity.”
“Baby, I am many things, but a liar is not one of them. I really like you and I must admit, I know it may seem false, but it's the truth. After sharing all those moments my feelings towards you became deeper” A second later he adds. “Plus I love how your butt fits perfectly in each pair of jeans.”
With that you approach Billy to plant a kiss that seeks to encompass everything about him, he follows you in search of the same. At that moment your feelings are expressed through that passionate kiss. No words are needed for your love, just this type of connection is enough. Something that makes us feel special, unique and different from the rest.
When you separate you dive into the eyes of your lover, sky blue eyes.

You know what the best part of marrying your best friend is?
Well, it's the unconditional love and acceptance. Even when he knows you snore like a freight train, or remembers those awkward teenage days when you looked like a potato, or how you cried over a simple injection for an entire week. He embraces all of you - quirks, flaws, and all.
I roll my eyes at my best friend slash husband, Seungkwan. He's at it again, playfully teasing me while I'm trying to cook breakfast. Despite his occasional antics, I've grown accustomed to them.
But what truly makes it special is how he loves my family as his own.
"Hey, mother. Did you know when I first saw you, I really thought you and my wife were sisters?" Seungkwan's voice drifted from the kitchen, mingling with the aroma of breakfast cooking on the stove. I smiled at the playful exchange between him and my mom.
Her laughter echoed through the room as she lightly swatted his shoulder. "You moron,how can you remember when you were just 3 years old when your family met us."
"Well, mother, ever since then… you haven't changed even a bit," Seungkwan teased, their shared laughter filling the air.
As I observed their easy rapport, a sense of warmth washed over me. They had effortlessly become family to each other, blending seamlessly into the fabric of our lives.
"Hey, my favorite father!" my husband exclaimed, offering a high five that my dad eagerly reciprocated. Their camaraderie was palpable, a testament to the bond they shared.
"My favorite son!" my dad retorted, a grin playing at the corners of his lips.
Seungkwan chuckled, his expression turning nostalgic. "I'm always glad you became my father! I always envied that woman in the back—" he nodded in my direction "—that she had you as a father. Now, I still can't believe I became your son!"
"Of course, you will always be my son, even if you didn't marry that monkey over there," they laughed together, oblivious to my presence. "Now, hold this flashlight. Let's fix your car. I can't believe you're already grown but can't fix this."
My dad's laughter mingled with Seungkwan's, their banter a familiar melody that filled our home with joy. In that moment, I realized how lucky I was to be surrounded by such love and laughter.
"I've been looking for you everywhere, yet you were just there beside me," The memory of our wedding vows flooded back as I gazed at him, reminding me of the journey that led us to this moment.
Back in college, when we were both grappling with heartbreak and disillusionment, I uttered those words almost as a whimsical notion. "If we can't find someone who will love us forever, let's just marry each other instead." And in that moment of vulnerability and uncertainty, he didn't hesitate to agree.
Now, as I reflect on our journey together, I realize that marrying him was the best decision I ever made. Despite all the missteps and regrets of the past, he has been my constant source of love, support, and happiness.
With Seungkwan by my side, my life has changed in ways I never imagined. In moments of doubt or despair, he's always been there to lift me up. It's almost as if he was the answer to my prayers all along, and I was just too blind to see it.
In him, I found not just a partner, but my soulmate, my confidante, my rock. And as we stand here, enveloped in each other's arms, I know with unwavering certainty that our love will continue to light the path ahead, guiding us through whatever challenges may come our way.

diff anon but what fandoms did you meet your close moots through? i don’t know if that counts as indy lore
that counts! more under the cut. i wanted to talk about all my mutuals
@its-clockwork-princess one of my best, oldest, and dearest friends. years and years of friendship, roleplay, fanfiction, writing. every time i see a duo on screen or in any media my first thought is always her and my second thought is always “us.” we went through a thousand different fandoms and i can’t remember our first but we definitely bonded heavily over fandoms like marvel, dc, and fnaf at the very early stages of our friendship. her dad was actually dating my mom for a long time, which gave us plenty of time together. literally cant even summarize everything we’ve gone through together, everything we’ve built, seriously been friends for a decade and i plan on staying that way for the rest of my life. i cant imagine my life without her, how bleak and colorless it would’ve been. i’m honored to know such a generous and kind person, and someone who helped shape me into who i am today. a love truly unconditional.
@ohgodmyeyes loved his takes on anakin, thought he was so real and so down to earth even though he could stand to be more egotistical considering how talented he is. i think about a certain post he made about anakin -> vader's dick literally once a day. i'm not even exaggerating at all when i say it was my roman empire. in just that small amount of time i was taught his quiet confidence, his exquisite way with words, and his unapologetic thought process. i maintain a distance from him because i'm playing the long game and from what i've seen on his personal posts i feel like he might be overwhelmed if i come on too strong, as i often do. but that doesn't stop me from grinning every time i see him in my notifs and i get to think, "this message was approved by ohgodmyeyes." very proudly.
@somuchfrstardust we talked in the comment section of anakin edits on tiktok i feel like and then i was like "hey wanna be friends" and we haven't talked in a while but that's totally cool, that's just how i am. i still consider them my friend i think they're a rly cool person.
@banakinbabygirl was one of the first anakin/hayden blogs i followed, i love how they write smut. it's a very emotional way of writing, very heavy on the descriptions and realistic reactions that drew me in and kept me there.
@starmanskywalker is one of my favorite writers in general. anything on her masterlist is an instant recommendation from me, instant like, instant reblog, instant indy review. i'm such a jealous person in general but the way i feel about alanis' writing is beyond jealousy. it's admiration, it's fondness, it's awe. i don’t feel envious i feel fulfilled. i was very proud to become her mutual, her friend, be on a first name basis with her, and write fanfiction with her. we have a collab we've been working on for a while but because we're both so busy and it's such a big project it takes a lot of time and a lot of love, but i'm still so excited for the day it's finished and can be published.
@xstarkillerx is so much more than a person i met on the internet. truly one of my best friends, and i can’t imagine not having him in my life. there’s so much i can say that i have actually already said on this blog before. donnie has a way with seeing the world i just love to hear about. i’ll ask his opinions and experiences on everything simply to hear what he, specifically, has to say about it. when we have conversations inhibitions are left at the door for the both of us instead of just me. i feel skinless, muscle-less, body-less with donnie. an entity obsessed with him on discord as we write novels to each other, sonnets about how we view the world and its fictions. donnie is my bread and butter, and i’m so glad i found him and stalked him and forced him to be my friend and now he’s reliant on me just like i want.
@weixuldo such a sweet person and very understanding of me and my boundaries. i first found wei’s blog through their fanart of darth vader which i loved so much i sent every single one of their posts to my best friend who i mentioned at the beginning of this post. i still go back to look at those works every so often to brush up on my love for them. such a talented artist i’m very happy i’m worthy of a follow back, and that we enjoy each other’s content.
@mcondance i met through hobie brown back in june 2022. i loved how they kept luring me to their page by mentioning me and my hobie works they kept reading, i swear they were using my vanity as bait and it worked. they are, genuinely, so fucking funny. i only have friends that are funny don’t get me wrong, but there’s something about jupie that when i’m talking about them to other people, that person is like “omg jupie is so funny.” like. jupie just transcends my sense of humor to other people’s. they’re funny to the masses. i’m very bad at texting, but jupie is a person i try to reach out to so they know i’m virtually loving on them. they like the attention. another writer i’m so pleased to be mutuals with when they’re so skilled at the part of writing i always feel like i’m most wooden at. the side of smut writing that takes feeling and sensation and even an edge of genuine horniness, jupie is so good at translating that onto a page.
@murdrdocs is another mutual i gained from the height of the hobie brown era and i believe i saw her content through jupie’s page. now we don’t get to talk too much but that doesn’t mean i don’t think she’s not a super cool person. i don’t read much, but the things i do get to read specifically on icarus’ page make me very proud to be her mutual. not only is she an accomplished and gorgeous writer, but her blog designs are always envy-inducing. she shifts her aesthetics so seamlessly—even tho i know how changing a theme can be draining and time-consuming—and it’s always easy on the eyes. her navigation is especially creative and i’ll never forget her newspaper clipping themed announcement for last kinktober.
@princessbrunette another writer i’m constantly in awe of. i met her through her anakin works, and invited myself onto her kinktober taglist when she was still a relatively new blog that’s how much i was instantly attracted to her work. her style is so distinct and so refined, i can overlook non canon work because hers is just that good. she’s also very funny, and has a gifted silver tongue. i’m always impressed with how she’s able to paint a picture in her pieces using nothing but the most concise and visualizing words. it’s not often that i watch something because a friend watched it, but i watched obx for her so i could still enjoy her work that’s how much i love it. our universes we create in our dms are so special to me.
@empiresheir was someone i met through their anakin one-shot about order 66 which i’ve reblogged several times and it’ll never be enough. it was such a good piece i gave live updates to my best friend who was reading it too. i sent those screenshots to her orc cos she deserved to know what i had to say. she was also an essential help when i was writing my kinktober project, kind enough to read my pieces and give me line by line feedback just like i like so i wouldn’t go crazy from lack of attention on pieces i couldn’t post til october. not only another talented and powerful writer (capable of dropping my jaw at how insanely good she is at wording things), but such a sweet person to talk to. and though she’s not active in the fandom anymore i think of her fondly and i hope she’s having such a good time with baldur’s gate.
@darthvvder had a collection of anakin drabbles that i found on wattpad of all places and i was amazed at what i read. thoroughly impressed by the physical reactions her works were eliciting in me. got me to care about smut tropes i hadn’t cared about before simply bcos she was so good at writing them. i posted about a line that gripped me and she commented that it was her, i followed and the rest is history.
@jarebare99 is my boyfriend :) he gets an honorary mention. i wrote him an entire book of poetry and my thoughts on him so he can read that if he’s feeling left out from everyone getting paragraphs. i met him in irl not through a fandom but idc.
@ddejavvu was someone i’d see in my notifications including my inbox every so often and she was very recognizable. i really can’t remember how us being mutuals happened? i’d like to say i somehow discovered she wrote and wrote well and once i began noticing i consistently liked her content then i followed and lo and behold she was following me too. mei is very respectful of my space and i like that she texts me without expecting an answer back bcos i like to read her updates and don’t always know what to say. i have some of her inbox messages i gatekeep and i go back and read them every so often and think about how diabolical it would be if i answered them and floored the world, but i have yet to be ready to share the genius.
@anakincentric technically through anakin. even though we don’t talk much bcos both of us have really similar no-contact ways that doesn’t mean i don’t think she’s real sweet. i like when she pops in, drops a banger, and then peaces out. like a disney cameo appearance.
@harrisonbrainrot i wanna say han/indiana. i feel like i was already following his blog because i got to read some of his stuff when i was in a han mood and was like, “yea, this guy gets it.” and then when we reconnected in the comments of someone else’s post, i told him i was a big fan which was true, and then wham bam thank you ma’am mutuals. i have no idea if he knew who i was before or if he was following me, but he’s cool asf. not only is he hot and chill, he’s also really kind with me about not texting. a very generous soul who let me use his crunchyroll to watch jjk out of the goodness of his heart, which i am kissing him for. one of the rare writer’s on here who’s unapologetic in the shit they say, which i always admire and prioritize in who i choose to follow. love his han characterization, so when he’s reblogged a han work of mine, i believe it’s been christened by the harrison ford pope.
@anitheus tagging this blog bcos it’s what i followed first but i also follow her other account @silxani because i love her art style. i love how she draws anakin every time. her spider-sam fanart, and her nsfw anakin works are my favorite, as well as the fanart she made of us for my birthday. gorgeous art style i could look at all day, and i like her personality when we text.
@ivysangel i wanna say it was dc comics but i can’t remember the character, might’ve been jason todd. she came for the dc, and stayed for the other stuff including my general tomfoolery. she flatters me with kind words about how i’ve influenced her, which always makes me soft. we have a lot in common, which is always so much fun to compare, and i love that she watched batman beyond when i recommended it even though i wasn’t expecting her to a) do it and b) love it. she’s aware and respectful of my boundaries when it comes to sharing my ideas which i appreciate, and i love seeing her in my inbox. we haven’t had enough time together for me to nail down everything i like about her, but i will.
@loveliestlovelygirl eloise caught me by surprise bcos it’s not often i get instantly hooked, or at least it hasn’t been that way for a while. i haven’t been in an anakin mood for a while, but i still reblog her works instantly so i can get to it later because i know i’ll like it even though i haven’t read it. idk much about her, but her theme makes me bonkers jealous. it’s so beautiful. like her chapter HTML for her fallen angel au makes me drool.
@psuedosis newest mutual. her reaction towards me made me instantly endeared, and i loved her jet works. some zuko pieces as well! hit at the right time bcos i just finished atla animated. very excited to get to know her more.
boom. indy lore and extensive thoughts on tumblr mutuals.

Steve Headcanons:
Basic:
Gender → AMAB - Identifies as male.
Sexuality → Gay.
Ethnicity → German (his father) & French. (His mother.)
Pronouns → He/Him
Main Language(s) → English (main) & German. (Only for communicating with his father, who can't speak English.)
Extra:
♪ He's never met his mother.
· His father never mentions her. Whenever Steve asks about her, his father either leaves the room or tells Steve to go out with his friends so he can be alone.
↑ This just increases Steve's curiousity even more.
· There are no photos of her anywhere in the house.
· Steve desperately wants to know more about his mother, but doesn't pressure his father into talking about her. (He doesn't want to get kicked out.)
♪ He's good friends with Evie.
· When they started dating, it was when Steve was very confused about his sexuality.
↑ Steve had developed a small crush on Soda a few years back, but it wasn't anything serious.
↑ It was only after a few months of dating Evie did he realize that he felt nothing for her.
↑ That's when he found out he didn't like girls. (And when he realized he was head-over-heels, so deeply in love with his best friend.)
· He was really nervous to come out to Evie.
↑ When he did come out, he almost cried with relief when Evie offered him her unconditional support.
↑ She also used Steve's coming out as an opportunity to tell him she was lesbian.
↑ Steve was shocked.
· They wanted to break up with each other, but couldn't come up with a good enough reason without sounding cheesy. (It's the 1960s and people are very homophobic during this time. Telling the public that they're gay is definitely not an option. And it's primarily due to the fact that the Socs suck ass and will use it as a way to torment then even more.)
↑ So they stay together for a little while longer.
↑ When Sandy dumped Soda, Steve and Evie took advantage of it and used it in a way to officially split up. (Sorry if this doesn't make sense.)
♪ His relationship with his dad is a little rocky. (That's basically canon, but I'm going to elaborate on this.)
· Steve doesn't hate his father. He just hates the fact that they argue a lot.
↑ When they aren't arguing, they're actually pretty close.
↑ Usually due of the fact that his dad is a single father and raised Steve himself.
↑ And also because his dad had Steve at a pretty young age. (He was seventeen when Steve was born.)
· He once asked his dad if he'd ever find a date. (He really wants a stepmom of some sort to look up to. Poor boy.)
↑ His dad went really quiet for a long time when Steve asked and Steve noticed that he look scared. (Scared being generous—his father was absolutely terrified.)
↑ When he asked him if he was alright, Steve was very shocked (and concerned) when his father burst into tears and ran off to his bedroom.
↑ Steve never asked him anything like that again, but it made him believe that his dad's relationship experience with his mom was very toxic/abusive in some way.
I'm gonna end it here.
Feel free to leave any questions you have. 🤗
(And yes, I'm doing the entire gang, so don't worry.)

LOVE GUIDE (SAY YES) chap12
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
yunjin and chaewon were waiting for you to speak, as you sat outside the bathroom door in complete silence. you could even hear your breathing and your heart beating so fast?
on that night, you finally admitted to yourself, and to your best friends that kwon soonyoung was more than just a project partner…
indeed, during the time you spent with him, you noticed that your heart might have skipped a few beats (let's not forget that he fainted after receiving your gifts) and that every time you told him something, he made an extreme effort not to stare mesmerized at your moving lips.
also you could always feel your real happiness when you texted each other at night, and when you couldn't stop laughing together.
your conversations were at ease, and in that short time, you discovered numerous similarities between you two - you understood that he had no idea what "baroque" was; you were similar in many ways, not all.
again, it was during that night that you admitted to your friends that you had let him pretend to be an expert in that art movement just so that you could observe him trying to pronounce the correct name, and show his "deep knowledge" in the days to follow.
you also planned to show your gratitude to him in an indirect way. you were ready to suggest that he also use the concept of animals, keeping in a sketch the tiger's striatum as the main theme (when you had first met, the third thing after his name and a failed pick-up line had been that he loved tigers).
his ability to make you smile and blush had touched your heart, which you had worked so hard to keep safe for fear of the awful consequences. you were afraid that opening yourself to love would end up in a lonely frigid cold; nevertheless, he was able to make you feel a comfortable warmth that seemed endless.
"is this "falling in love"? am I now ready and willing to change myself to be loved? to let the old me die to be reborn and achieve the completeness given by love? should I then take this step, trusting the only way to fully live is to love?"
you had spoken those words all in one breath. so fast that your friends were still looking confused in the first few minutes, they were still trying to understand exactly what you had said.
"All right! I'm thankful you said it out loud girl… you seem to be questioning your existence. However, I can tell you based on my little experience that yes, this is this love," yunjin said.
"that's where you overthink must come from." chaewon added.
they both appeared calm, and such a reassuring smile - you could sense the unconditional love in their gaze.
"anyway…it is not that serious, right?" you uttered, a little afraid of ruining the moment.
you three started laughing and nodding, and rather, the tension in the room dissipated. your anxiety at openly declaring that you liked Hoshi faded, and instead, it was finally starting to give you that satisfying rush of nervousness. the faint thrill you get in the early stages of a crush, when your hopes are as high as the mountains and the sun, a metaphor for love, gets to embrace you close.
"I like him. I like Hoshi."
you instantly chuckled as the girls drew near to you, and hugged you while wearing mock-surprised expressions; many of your worries from the previous few weeks also suddenly disappeared.
it was already late at night, and you were too tired to even consider the possible consequences of a relationship between you and your crush. before the final project, you would have spent many days together, so there was plenty of time for everything to work out, right?

𓄹𓈒 𓏲 It all started at soccer practice. At first, Nat would pretty much ignore you. You were very skilled, but unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to catch her attention, she saw you as just another face in the crowd.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲 One day after practice, Nat was feeling stressed and in a hurry to shower and go home. The locker rooms were empty, and everyone was chatting outside. As she made her way, she faintly heard one of her favorite songs playing from the handicap stall. Out of curiosity, she opened the door, which happened to be unlocked — yes, you were that dumb —, and discovered you there, hastily trying to hide the smoke from a joint you were smoking. Startled, you exclaimed, “Holy shit Nat! You scared the crap outta me,” clutching your chest as you coughed a bit. She laughed and you found her smile beautiful. You offered her the joint by extending your hand, and she gladly accepted it. It was at that moment when she finally took notice of you.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲 The next month went by in a blur. After that unexpected encounter, the two of you made it a regular routine to hang out in that spot, smoking and listening to music after every practice. You exchanged phone numbers, and Nat took the initiative by sending you a song she thought you would enjoy, which you absolutely loved.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲 And before you knew it, the both of you were as close as it gets; holding hands on your way home and kissing each other goodbye on the lips. 
𓄹𓈒 𓏲 However, as the days passed, you started to notice changes in her behavior. They were subtle but noticeable. For instance, she would become possessive over you during practice, constantly keeping an eye on you and intervening if she felt someone was getting too close or if they made a remark she didn't like. She would make excuses to spend more time with you, often insisting on walking you home or on driving you everywhere.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲 She also began to display signs of jealousy, especially when it came to other girls. She would subtly interrogate you about your interactions with the other yellowjackets or any of your other friends, trying to gauge the nature of your relationships. If she sensed any perceived threat, her demeanor would quickly shift, and she would become cold and distant, but wouldn’t tell you anything, leaving you unsure of what to do.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲  But she wanted what was best for you, even if it sometimes came across as too possessive or jealous. Her feelings weren't rooted in insecurity though; rather, she was scared of losing you, especially after what had happened to her dad. All she wanted was to make sure you were safe and cared for.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲  But it all went downhill after the crash.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲  Nat's behavior changed significantly. She became more protective of you than ever, always trying to shield you from any potential harm and danger. She would even insist on doing everything for you, telling you to stay in the cabin while she went out looking for food and water.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲  At first, this sort of unconditional attention was comforting; it made you feel safe and loved. But as time went by, it started to feel suffocating. You began to feel like she was always hovering around you, constantly checking up on your whereabouts and double-checking what you were doing at all times. If she felt like something was wrong or that there was a potential threat around, she would become agitated and jump into action without hesitation. It got to the point where she kept her gun close by her while she slept in case she had to use it.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲 And just when you thought things couldn't possibly get any worse, Jackie passed away. And not only did she die, but the hunger was so unbearable for all of you that you ended up eating her lifeless body, including both of you. This tragic event sparked a new fear in Nat's mind... What if you were next? What if hunger drove everyone to hurt you and eat you? No, she couldn't let that happen.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲 Nat loved you so much and didn’t wanna hurt you in any way. But she had no choice; she had to do it. 
𓄹𓈒 𓏲 One night, when everyone was in deep sleep, she asked you to join her for a little stroll through the woods and along the lake. She had prepared a cozy bonfire and some warm blankets to keep you both comfortable — which you thought was very sweet of her. You planted a tender kiss on her lips and led her to the spot, then settled down beside her where you cuddled and chatted for hours. Both of you were so engrossed in each other that you didn't notice the sun was rising. Nat had to act fast if she wanted her plan to work, so without pause she quickly snatched two mugs from her bag and made her way to the lake, with you peering on curiously.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲 Once she had completed her task, she returned and sat next to you. She rummaged through her bag and pulled out some herbs. “Misty asked me to try the herbal tea she made a few days ago," she said, as she placed the herbs in the iron mugs and held them above the fire. "At first I only drank it to be nice, but turns out it's actually really good. I wanted you to try it too," she continued, a smile tugging at her lips. You nodded in response with a gentle smile.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲  When the tea was ready, Nat carefully wrapped a small cloth around the mugs to protect your hands from the heat and handed one to you. Without hesitation, you took a sip, “Oh my god, this is actually so good,” you said, chugging the whole thing in one go. "I know, right?" Nat replied, gazing at you with a gentle smile. She caressed the side of your head with her hand before taking a sip from her own cup.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲  Shortly after that, you began to feel extremely drowsy. "It's okay, baby. Just close your eyes," Nat whispered tenderly, allowing you to rest your head on her lap while gently running her fingers through your hair. She let you sleep peacefully for a few minutes, but as the morning birds began to sing, announcing the sunrise, she gave you a sweet kiss on the forehead before standing up and scooping you up into her arms. 
𓄹𓈒 𓏲  She walked for a while, perhaps around ten minutes, until she finally arrived at her destination. It was a secluded cave she had discovered a few days ago while she was hunting. Concealed by trees and foliage, it was challenging to locate, and its depth ensured that once you were inside, no one would ever find you.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲  Upon reaching the cave's depths, she kindled a small bonfire and carefully placed you on a makeshift bed she had built using tree branches and a stolen blanket from the cabin. Fortunately, the cabin was well-stocked for hunting large animals, and she had come across some chains and screws. Taking hold of one of your legs, she fastened a chain around your ankle and securely affixed the other end to the wall. The chain allowed you to move a few meters, but it effectively prevented you from leaving the premises. Once everything was prepared, she laid beside you on the snug bed, embracing you tightly as slumber overtook her.
𓄹𓈒 𓏲  A few hours later, she stirred from her slumber, sensing movement beside her on the bed. "Nat? Where are we?" you asked, your voice still groggy as you rubbed your eyes, oblivious to the chain fastened around your ankle. “Don’t worry, baby. You’re safe here,” Nat reassured, gently stroking your cheek with her thumb. “I won’t let anybody or anything hurt you,” she said confidently, meaning every single word.

I Know What You Did Last Summer

Blaise Zabini x Reader
A/N: I wish there were more Blaise GIFs 😣
Warnings: Angsty, mentions of brutal death, blood purist ideals mentioned.
Word Count: 2.1k
“We should talk.” You didn’t need to turn around to know who was behind your chair. 
“About?” The last thing you wanted to do was converse with Blaise so you play dumb.
“Bab-” Blaise’s sickeningly sweet words trigger the deep-seated anger in you.
“Don’t call me that.” After everything that happened you wanted nothing to do with him and you thought you made that clear. 
His hand ghosts over your shoulder and you almost find yourself leaning into him for comfort like you once did. Instead you remain still, the pen you were once using to write is hovering over the paper. You slightly turn your head to look at him only to find the space behind you empty. 
After that slight hiccup, you continue with your studying ignoring the slight pain in your chest. As much as you try you can’t regain the focus you had before, his presence always seemed to do that to you. Soon enough you begin packing up your things to head to your dorm and attempt a good night’s rest. 
On your way past the kitchens a strong hand clasps around your arms and hauls you into their chest. Before you could scream for help their other hand closes over your mouth.
“It’s me,” The voice causes an instant roll in your eyes, “I’m sorry but we need to talk.” Theo releases his hand from your mouth once the tension leaves your body. 
“First Blaise and now you, what is it?” At this point, you can hardly keep your annoyance at bay because all you want to do is forget.
“You know it’s not his fault what happened. If you want to blame anyone blame me and Malfoy for doing nothing but please don’t ice Blaise out.” Theodore pleads with you for the sake of his best friend.
“We all played a part in what happened and none of us stopped it.” This was the first time that you’ve opened up since that night.
“We didn’t have a choice, we’ve never had a choice in all this.” When you look up at Theo’s eyes you see how heartbroken he is too.
“That doesn’t stop the nightmares or the guilt of being just like them.” Your eyes begin to sting and you wonder if one day you’ll be able to forgive yourself. 
Before your first tear can drop Theodore brings you into his embrace. For the first time, you allow yourself to break down and acknowledge the pain you’ve kept to yourself. All of the painful remnants of that night come flooding back and all you can do is cling to his now wet shirt.
“I know.”
……..
July 26th, 1997
When you and your family first arrived at the Malfoy Manor all seemed to be business as usual. Theodore, Blaise, Draco, and you hung around the edges with an unspoken agreement that you each sought comfort in each other. None of you were completely indoctrinated like your parents but you would never voice that in fear that it would possibly lead back to them somehow. 
Over the years you had grown closer to Blaise, he was the first person to show you what unconditional love is. He never judged you even when he found your secret stash of muggle trinkets. In fact, he helped you grow it by gifting things he would find in the villages around his mother’s villa. Though there was never a formal conversation about it, the two of you became more than friends. 
Secret glances during group hangouts turned into stolen kisses in the astronomy tower. Not to mention your parents were more than thrilled at the possibility of a son-in-law as accomplished as Blaise. 
Today, tensions were high as Harry was slowly discovering just how powerful he could be. Though it would never be said out loud The Dark Lord found himself a worthy adversary. Low murmurs filled the dining area as more and more Death Eaters pooled in to speak about the solution. A silence permeated the room like a wave and you tried to see what had everyone stunned. 
The Dark Lord himself walked in with Fenrir Greyback and Professor Burbage. Blaise put himself in front of you attempting to shield you from the sight but it was too late. One of her shoes was missing, due to Fenrir roughly dragging her by her arm and it was quite obvious from her face she didn’t go willingly. You never took outward interest in her class knowing it would get back to your parents but you were familiar with her. She told you all about the trinkets you would collect and how muggles used them. You were dumb enough to believe she resigned, you should’ve known better.
She was the one who helped shift your perspective of them. 
Her main philosophy was that muggles and wizards weren’t much different at all. You grip Blaise’s arm and peek your head out only to find them suspending her mid-air. Tears naturally fall from your eyes at the sight of one of the few people who brought light into your life being strung up for slaughter. Death Eaters swarm to the dining table to begin the meeting and you feel frozen in your spot.
“We can’t let them do this.” Even you know you’re speaking nonsense but you can’t bring yourself to accept what’s happening.
Blaise turns around and quickly wipes your tears, “Listen there’s nothing we can do without getting ourselves killed.” His words send a panic through your body. “Now isn’t the time to play hero.” Despite his biting words you reach for your wand but his hand is quick to stop you. 
“Blaise please,” You try and plead with him but he ignores your protests. 
His arm snakes its way around your waist before he begins forcefully guiding you to the table. You steal a glance at Draco and Theodore only to find their horrified eyes on the ground. As you each take your seat with The Dark Lord at the head, Professor Burbage twitches. You know deep down there’s nothing you can do to save her, no one can.
Last to arrive is Professor Snape and he is welcomed with open arms. When he sees his colleague hanging in the air he can’t even suppress his surprise. The armrests you were gripping would break if they were made from anything other than wood. Blaise slides his hand over yours and slowly rubs his thumb around your knuckles. 
The meeting dragged on as Lord Voldemort took the time to show everyone why he was so feared. But the worst part was Mrs. Burbage’s begging for Snape to help her. The sheer desperation in her voice would haunt your dreams. Mrs. B saw you at that table but you kept your eyes downcast, and holding back the tears rimming your eyes was becoming harder.
A wave of nausea spreads through your body at her dead body slapping against the table only for Nagini to swallow her whole. Never in your life had you been so disgusted by those around you and yourself. A bunch of cowards gathered around proclaiming their supremacy. Even if it meant your life you should’ve stepped in, at least you would have stood for something. At least she would have known you cared. 
They laughed as she begged for her life like it was the funniest joke in the world.
That night when it was time to leave you spared no glance at Blaise or the others as you hurried over to your parents. You ignored his attempts at communication even going as far as to send back the muggle trinkets destroyed. Theodore and Draco try their hand but they receive the same cold shoulder from you. Even your regular friend group hasn’t heard from you. 
At night you lost more and more sleep, unable to handle the face that would inevitably parade through your mind. With school coming up you had to remedy your sleeping habits, especially the nasty bags that have aged your face significantly. And though you’d been able to force yourself into a slumber with magic the real problem still lurked. Every time you close your eyes you see her dangling in front of you as she tries to reach out for help. You failed her. 
………..
After completely wetting the front of Theo’s shirt you pull back to calm your breathing. His watery eyes stared back at you, understanding your inner turmoil like always. 
“He did what he did to protect you.” His low voice lulls your uneven breathing.
“I just can’t stop seeing her in my head. The way they laughed.” Shaking your head you try and will the memory away.
Theodore says nothing but he reaches out to hug you this time using his hand to cradle the back of your head.
“He’s in the astronomy tower.” Were his last words before leaving you in the doorway to think. 
On the way back to your dorm you think of how unfairly you treated Blaise, intrinsically you know everything he does is for you. To protect you. 
…….
His back is facing you while he stares off into the foggy forest. That talk, if you could really call it that, with Theodore was cathartic. You’d kept everything bottled up because of the guilt you felt and Blaise was at the receiving end of it. Clearly, he hadn’t heard you come up and you used the extra time to formulate how you could express you’re sorry. 
“Are you just gonna stare at my gorgeous figure all night?” He never misses a beat you should’ve known better. 
“How did you know?” Involuntarily your voice slightly cracked while addressing him. His head slightly turns but he doesn’t move from his spot.
“I can smell that muggle perfume you love to wear dar-” He cuts himself off by clearing his throat. Your words from earlier struck a chord and regret pools in your chest.
“I’m sorry Z I didn’t mean what I said earlier I just,” The lump forming in your throat makes you stop to calm yourself down. “That night haunts me every time I close my eyes I can still picture everything perfectly. She didn’t deserve that.” After your apology, your eyes are glued to the wooded floor unable to look Blaise in the eye.
The feeling of his arms encasing you almost fools you that everything will be alright. He rests his head above yours while he rubs circles on your back. The accelerated beat of his heart thumped against your ear while your head rested on his chest. 
“No matter what happens we’re trying to survive too.” His words allow you to relax in his arms once again. Your eyes close while you take in the way he smells and how it never changes. He preferred notes of cinnamon in all his body care and you never complained. 
“I’m not sure how many people would share that sentiment.” Besides the only person you ever felt you wanted in your corner was Blaise. 
“That’s because they’ll never understand what it’s like for us. I don’t see them opening their homes to us for safety, they just write us off like everyone else.” He wasn’t wrong, the self-proclaimed good guys often forget Hogwarts was the first exposure to culture outside of blood purism. 
Years of indoctrination don’t erase itself that quickly. There was plenty of trial and error throughout the years. But even if you didn’t agree none of the Order offered protection against the repercussions of your families. And there would be repercussions.
“I missed you.” After those words you pull back to look him in the eyes, your favorite feature of his. Maybe because he always had the ability to convey so much about how he feels without saying a word. You always did love the strong silent types. 
“I’ll always love you even when you hate me.” Blaise’s hands slide down from your back to rest on your hips. 
Your heart begins thundering at his devoted words and you find yourself reaching up to kiss him. He quickly meets you halfway, cherishing the closeness that’s been missing all these months. As his lips mold against yours you snake an arm to the back of his neck to bring him close. Neither of you thinking or particularly caring about being caught up here past curfew. 
When Blaise brings a hand to cradle your right cheek you pull back from the kiss, though he blindly follows after you. A smile forms for the first time in months when you gaze into his hazy eyes.
“I love you Blaise Zabini.” The words tumble out in a whisper shared between you two.

I think a lot about every time 911 shows us Eddie understanding a little more about Buck in real time... 
(after cut because this got long but bare with me)
Like, the first season should be the most obvious, with the earthquake eps and the next one showing Eddie’s surprise/reaction to Buck’s immediate unconditional support when it comes to Christopher. You can literally see something click for him in Stuck, first when Buck clears Chris spending the day with them with Bobby, then when he introduces Carla to them. 
But then you have new and interesting glimpses at moments when Eddie found another piece of Buck’s puzzle. In Kids Today, for example, we see that Eddie’s approach to Buck’s “sulking” is rather closed off, almost cold, and it’s one of the very first time we hear him mention his father’s toxic masculinity preachings... but when Hen points out that Buck doesn’t have much outside of work, you can literally SEE the second it clicks in for Eddie. Not that Buck doesn’t have anyone, but that he doesn’t know he does. That he doesn’t understand. Which is why he brings Christopher over. Not to teach a lesson, but to show him he’s wrong and he has people who love him regardless.
While the whole lawsuit arc was probably illuminating, for me the real highlight when it comes to Eddie understanding Buck a little bit better is in the famous kitchen scene. Before they get all flirty with the sexual tension... we see Buck ask if maybe Eddie is still angry at him, if maybe Eddie wanted to fight/hurt him, and while Eddie pokes fun of Buck making this about himself, I think it’s a very big moment when he realizes how deep the self-loathing runs, that Buck cannot just accept the fact that he was forgiven, that he still things that Eddie wanted to/would under any circumstances hurt him. So he makes a point to say “I wouldn’t do that”, matter of factly (even if he later has to sidestep it with a joke because this is pre-therapy Eddie after all). 
Which of course later leads to The One That Got Away and Buck’s traumas shining through his relationship with Red and you can see how adamant Eddie is that no, Buck is not being left behind and no he isn’t losing the 118 family, and he’s annoyed when the others aren’t as quick to reassure him. But this is all part of Eddie-understanding-Buck-arc in s3 (remember the post-embolism thing i mentioned above). Which, of course, later becomes a punch in What’s Next? when Abby is back and Eddie sees real time one of the people who’ve filled Buck with abandonment and scars. Buck who, at this point, fyi, Eddie has already chosen as the person he trusts most to look after his son in case he dies.
Anyway, s4 is short but there’s treasures like What’s Your Grievance and Buck Begins, in which Eddie very clearly sees the roots of Buck’s pain and is already quick to validate his feelings and offer him a shoulder and space to vent. This Eddie is far more prepared than his counterpart at the beginning of s3 to see and understand Buck and offer his support openly. Which is what leads to the shooting and, more importantly, Buck once again acting like he’s expendable. And, because Eddie’s had this whole journey so far, he’s at a place where he can see better than the other characters that Buck doesn’t think himself invincible, he thinks himself disposable. But you can see the confusion in his face when Buck says it the first time, the moment —again— when he processes this new and painful information about his best friend. And he, once again, takes action with words of affirmation to show Buck that, again, he’s wrong. 
Now, by s5 Buck and Eddie know each other pretty well so there’s fewer surprises on Eddie’s side (s5, after all, it’s Buck’s turn to go through the journey of truly seeing Eddie’s scars and pain and being there for him) but I think about Home And Away, and how Eddie needs to do a double-take after he jokes that Chimney will not forgive Buck. Because it’s a joke, it’s meant to be, but the hurt in Buck’s eyes is so clear —because, again, he thinks himself easily discarded as soon as he screws up once— that he looks genuinely shocked that he has to clarify the joke in the first place. S5 keeps telling us Eddie already sees Buck, in little things like recognizing how Buck wants to fix things and how he might struggle with lack of control when he can’t help. 
Then s6 doubles down on the idea that Eddie already knows Buck so deeply, “it’s clearly bothering you”, knowing the happiness convention call was hard on him and teaming up with Chim to cheer Buck and Hen, picking up on his changes in habits and the fact that he might be hiding something, not joining the schedule to check on him after the lightning, being the one who offers the right space for Buck to open up... and then there’s the cemetery scene and there’s another DING moment when a new piece falls and Eddie realizes that Buck has changed, how could he not, and he’s now trying to catch up with whatever is wrong or new. And even then, he knows Buck enough to reassure him that he doesn’t need to pretend for anyone else’s sake. 
Anyway, I don’t know where I’m going with this, except for the fact that I love the journey these two have gone through and how we’ve gotten to see on screen (rather than just assume or be told) the moments that have slowly morphed Eddie’s perception of Buck from the cocky kid from day 1 to the rather hurt and vulnerable and open hearted man he truly is.
