“They’re almost coparenting Eddie’s son at this point.”- Oliver Stark 5A. 
“Also referred to as parenting partnerships or partnered parenting, may be used as a choice by individuals seeking to have children but who do not wish to enter into a conventional relationship. This phenomenon has been a common practice for gay men and lesbian women.” - Elective coparenting. (wiki)

I never really post wishlist stuff so here, under the cut, is a long list of my muses with vague ideas for wishlists with them. DM me if you're interested in any of them. ALL of these (and all my muses tbh) are open to shipping like let's go.
Nesta - accepting eris' offer :)! Robb - making it to king's landing and winning the war, liberating the North, and getting Sansa back to safety, then having to head out and find Arya. Violet - anything in her marvel or ouat verses tbh I spent a lot of time on those Shelley - taking over the Victory Project after killing Frank. Max - coming back after that summer for the start of college, much to everyone's surprise and keeping his escapades close to the chest (idk the timeline of that show it was a fucking mess lmao) Heather - surviving pls dear goD Denny - surviving pls DEAR GOD Mark, Amanda, Lawrence, Logan - I want to write more about their dynamics with each other (these are just the four I write) as apprentices to John. We only briefly get Mark and Amanda interacting - gimme more. Bruce - let's throw out the entire mcu because it's fucking trash for him thanks. Brunnhilde - More of her relationship with Carol :( Kamala - Building of the young avengers lets GOOO Loki - anything :( Satoshi / Krad - I was always, always interested in the idea of the seal not working/lasting on the portrait and years later, Satoshi and Daisuke being re-possessed by Krad and Dark and having to deal with that as young adults, likely college aged. Too young for it to have passed onto their child, but too old to be able to use the same excuses of the past. Sid - I am fuLLY CONVINCED SID IS THE FATHER AND JESSE IS A RED HERRING (I already have this going I just wish more people cared about HIMYF) Brian - Going to NY and seeing Justin again. :)! Snow White - anything :( Charming - I have about 90420934902 aus for him honestly. I have so many ideas for this stupid idiot. Neal - surviVING AND COPARENTING WITH EMMA AND REGINA SHIPS DON'T FUCKING MEAN YOU HAVE TO KILL A GOOD CHARACTER WHO LITERALLY WAS THE REASON RUMPLESTILTSKIN MANIPULATED REGINA INTO CASTING THE FUCKING CURSE MY GOD THIS SHOW PISSES ME OFF anyways Davy Jones - returning after the 'curse' is lifted from Will Turner, because someone must always be there to ferry the souls to the other side Ben Solo - ANYTHING :( Jyn - her and Cassian getting evacuated just before the explosion and surviving, assisting the Rebellion. Finn - training as a jedi (either trilogy re-write or post trilogy) Jar Jar - i s2g if someone doesn't write with Sith Jar Jar... Anakin and Padme - either an au where she convinces him to run away with her and leave everything behind and raise their children on Naboo before Obi Wan shows up and he believes her when she says she didn't know he was there and they enlist his help in staging their deaths OR an au where he convinces her to join him on his path to the dark side. (i write both so I'll write either) Carolyn - escaping the dark planet after surviving the stabbing, living off of the creatures that would be her demise, fixing a ship in the darkness, built by lights she manages to fix throughout the rubble, and fires made along the way. finding other riddick characters / riddick himself Coriolanus Snow - Exploring more of his additions to the games and how he helped to curate them to be the spectacle they became. Annie - Not having anyone to volunteer for her so having to go through the Quarter Quell with Finnick (Hi I love PAIN). Not escaping the Arena and being taken back to the Capitol. Madge - Watching the Games with Katniss' family and thus being there when the blackouts happen and escaping District 12 with Gale and everyone else to District 13. Kili - surviving PLS Renesmee Carlie - more of her dynamic growing up in a town that's definitely got an attraction for the supernatural. Bella - not taking Edward back immediately, actually being pissed that he lied like what a dick Sam - imprinting on LEAH jfC WHAT A WASTE (or better yet, Leah being the first wolf to change and imprinting on HIM thanks) Garrett - torn between natural instincts, love for Kate, and never letting himself be tested by a challenge, learning how to survive and satiate on animal blood vs. human blood

So I started Ragnarok last night; here are my thoughts:
I love love LOVE how much closer Kratos & Atreus are instantly shown to be. There’s a huge contrast between their distance in the last game & their easy familiarity in this one.
I’m calling it now but the sled dogs (wolves) are gonna be Skol & Hati.
RIGHT into it w/ Freya to let us know this has been happening for years. I thought it would be the most obvious that bc Kratos killed her son, Freya’s gonna try to kill Atreus. I wasn’t sure she would do that tho, but immediately in her 1st attack she punches Atreus in the face, throws him off the sled, & I think she tried to stab him? It was going really fast so I couldn’t tell but it looked like she tried? So now I’m even less sure. Combat btw is fast paced & engaging.
We didn’t need to start w/ the dog (wolf) dying but okay. Love Kratos trying to help Atreus through his grief in his own way, even if it doesn’t come out quite right.
Also fairly certain that Fenrir was buried instead of burned so they can bring him back intact later on, if that is supposed to be the real Fenrir. Either w/ time travel junk like Jorm or Hel’s death magic.
FAYE?!??! O my god?!??! I’m in love?!?!? Her constantly teasing Kratos IMMEDIATELY after we meet her is just shehfjddjdjdzk?!!?! “Grumbles” duuuude “Am I meant to decipher your grunting?” no I’m definitely in love. It’s so clear that Atreus’s nature as Loki is all her (emphasized by her wearing yellow) & I love it. Also love the callback to the first hunt in the last game when Kratos tells Faye “This is your hunt.” Also can I point out that Kratos saw Faye - same height as him at 7 foot something - perform the same godlike feats of strength as him w/ the same ease & instead of thinking, “Hey I don’t think this woman’s mortal,” thought instead, “Damn, Scandinavian women are built differently.” BRO SHE LIFTED A TREE & then spooky shit happens.
OH SO WE’RE IMMEDIATELY ADDRESSING KRATOS DEAD ON THE WALL, OKAY
“Why won’t this bear fucking die?”
“HOLY SHIT IT’S ATREUS NO”
“Oh he can heal, it’s okay. Also HE CAN SHAPESHIFT THE LOKI POWERS ARE COMING IN YES”
“Kratos was seconds away from killing his other child.”
Speaking of which, Atreus has gotta find out at some point in the game that Kratos had a whole other family. Idk if it’ll come from Kratos but there’s a huge possibility that it won’t. Clearly the Aesir know the gist but if they know he killed his family then Atreus could find out this terrible info from a terrible source at a terrible time.
Speaking of the Aesir, I somehow missed Thor’s height. I thought Tyr was tall but holy shit, Thor’s gotta be like 9 feet. Love everything about this version btw; design, voice, characterization are all on point.
Odin was a bit underwhelming, he kinda looked like a Pope, but I think that’s the point. Odin in Norse myths has a habit of going out in disguise to get people off their guard so it makes sense that this Odin wouldn’t be an imposing figure. Few outside the Aesir would get to see that.
Atreus is looking for Tyr & pretty close to finding him too, nice. Not so nice that Odin & Thor know about it.
HOLY SHIT THE SCRIPTED DEATH THAT TOOK YOU TO A MENU & THE RESURRECTION?!?! What a mindfuck. I’m not ready for the rest of this game.
I don’t think Atreus declined Odin’s invitation to Asgard. Not a good thing given Thor saying that Odin’s got plans for him, those plans likely being execution bc Ragnarok doesn’t happen w/out Loki. What else are you hiding Boy?
Atreus taught Kratos how to read runes & I just think that’s sweet.
Kratos & Mimir really are just coparenting huh.
I thought that what turned out to be called a stalker was gonna be a full on character, not just a regular baddie. Little disappointed. She looked cool tho.
God I missed the dwarves. Sindri tryna act like he hasn’t been helping Atreus, then cowering from Kratos when the truth comes out & Atreus having to get between them (fairly certain that Kratos was partially fucking w/ him tho). & Brok saying to Atreus “What’s that doing in my workshop?” & KRATOS NOT GETTING THE JOKE “That is my son.” THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THESE 5 ARE GOLD & I’M SO GLAD KRATOS ATREUS & MIMIR ARE BEING PUT UP W/ THEM.
We’re less than 2 hours into the game & most of the stuff in the trailers has been shown or referenced already. So as stated above, I’m not ready for the rest of this game.

The Reyes toddler, Caridad is the only one who is aware "Mister Car" is alive and she happily babbles at him. Little Cari once escaped her "hatchling minder" (Barricade's name for babysitter) and opened the front door and headed straight to the street.
Parent instinct activated and he scooped her up without thinking, taking her to the garage and closing the door to keep her in. He hum chirps at her like the hatchlings and she responds back before biting his finger and continuing to because it is cold and she is teething. Once she's asleep and he hears the hatchling minder crying and sobbing on the phone that she's lost he thumps against the garage's doir to the house and she finds Caridad curled up with her blanket in the backseat the door open.
Caridad now adores Barricade and talks to him and he entertains her with the radio when she visits him. "Mister Car" is considered her inaginary friend and caused by Cybertronians on the news because the car was tested.
The Reyes children are: Alisa (oldest, prepping for college, ag kid into environmental science), Luz (theater kid), Guadalupe (sports girl), and Caridad, who is eight years younger and was a surprise baby.
This family just fully formed in my mind and I am strangely invested in family car Barricade.
Barricade knows all the girls schedules and has become their comfort hideout when they are upset either to curl up together or cry alone. He generally comforts by creating a subsonic hum like he does for the hatchling and playing their fav song. They mention he feels alive sometimes. The whole family calls him Mister Car.
Luz did once corner him suspicious and ask him to honk if he was secretly alive. He waited until she was back inside to do it.
These girls would definitely ride or die for Mister Car and his family.
So that's adorable as pits
AwwwYESSSS. That's adorable. Barricade still denies any attachment to his fleshies, but oh look at them.
Aw, yeah, so he helped!
I too am invested now, how did we go from "how cute would it be if the autobots adopted the hatchlings" into "family man/car Barricade out here helping coparent two groups of kids and keep tabs on a third"??
That's adorable. Yes. What was simply a cover needed to sneak into the autobot base, steal energon/ect, and keep an optic on Lord Megatron's first batch turned into something he was invested in. Part of me wonders just how much the family dad, Lieutenant Reyes, knows about the cybertronians he works with... And the connections he can make
Not me wondering about one of the hatchlings from the second batch meeting one of the first batch. What if one of the barrimegs hatchlings got found and someone assumed it was one of the ones from/on the autobot base?
"wdym this one isn't one of yours"
"We have all eight accounted for and that one makes it nine. Where did you get this"
"i thought it hitched a ride on my car before i left work— it looks just like the other ones!"
"Lieutenant this hatchling is approximately five years younger than the ones on base. Where did you get it???"
"as i said, it just fell out of my car!

Request: Hii it’s 🦋 aone can I please request a part 2 of https://honeystwiggypeach.tumblr.com/post/695294402909831168/hello-ive-seen-your-work-about-haikyuu-dads-as of for kuroo where we do get with Kenma and just co parent with kuroo and maybe an alternative ending for suna and ushijima (I hope your hand heals very good 😊)
Tumblr media
Hi 🦋anon!!! I can definitely do this!!! Tysm for requesting sorry it took so long I was contemplating the Ushijima and Tendou part so I’ll probably write a fic with those two later!!(may not be those two may be another pairing!!)
Tumblr media
Tw- getting over people, Suna says homewrecker(like the actual word😭)ushijima gendou and reader are heavily heavily heavily implied to be polyamorous and inevitably get together, cursing, fluff after angst, Anywho let me know if I missed anything!!!
Tumblr media
Kuroo
When Kuroo had left the park you couldn’t help but breakdown, what was he thinking saying that kind of thing, and to you one of the nicest people Kenma has ever met?
He never understood it so almost a full three months later when you and Kenma are sat beside eachother on the couch watching one of your favorite series again for what feels like the thousandth time you hear a little knock.
Kenma gave you a small smile before pausing the tv pushing himself off the couch.
You watch as he furrows his brows looking at the door.
“Kuroo?” He asks, and he looks the worst he ever has, he’s got eye bags, his hair is disheveled and Kenma’s almost certain that he’s in pajama pants paired with his button down.
“Kenma” he breathes out trying to see over his shoulder, “is y/n here? I need to apologize!”
You stand up a little patting your sons back when you hear him whine.
He glances at the matching rings that adorn both yours and Kenma’s fingers and he knows it’s to late to salvage the tiniest bit of a romantic relationship the two of you had but he’s praying it’s not to late to create a coparenting relationship between the three of you.
And from that in, that’s what the three of you did, every other week, Kuroo spent with his son, at first it was really difficult for him to accept that you’d moved on, he’d have to mentally prepare himself in the parking lot almost an hour before going to get his boy, and he absolutely dreaded seeing Kenma practically hang off of you when that was all he wanted to do less than a month ago, and he especially couldn’t stand the way that everything your precious boy did reminded him of you, but eventually with lots of time he got over it, he met an incredibly sweet person and told you about them king before he wanted them to meet his son to ensure you were ok with others being in the baby’s life and before he knew it he was moving on and establishing a healthy co parenting relationship with you Kenma and his s/o!
Tumblr media
Suna
He wasn’t sure what was happening to him, seeing you again stirred up lots of emotions, but he wasn’t a homewrecker, you seemed happy with Osamu and he couldn’t help but feel like that may have been the happiest he could imagine one of his kids as being yet he still knows it was pretty shitty of him to do everything he’s done in the past.
So that’s why when he goes into the shop this morning he asks to talk to both Osamu and you when the shop closes.
What results is probably one of the most civil talks you’d ever had with Suna. Your daughter was up playing in her room.
When he’d first bought up co parenting you and Osamu shared a look, “Suna…you know she sees Samu as her dad right? He uhm…adopted her” your voice sounds guilty and he gives you a sorrow filled smile, he’s got a few tears in his eyes.
“That doesn’t mean we can’t try!” Osamu corrects, “she just may not see you as her dad at first”
“Yea, I know that” and Suna does, he wishes he wouldn’t have been such a shitty boyfriend but he thinks that maybe it was destiny that he saw you sat in the shop from the window, or maybe it was a coincident but who knows he’s just glad to find that a short two years later he’s being called Papa while Osamu goes by Daddy or dada and that he’s able to go to one of the sweetest kid’s he’s ever Mets birthday party.
Tumblr media
Ushijima
(You guys need to know how nervous I was to write this so you know why it’s low quality, I wanted to do a polyamory Ushiten x reader but than wasn’t sure if I should so for a request, so I’ll write a full fic of them later! But very sorry it’s low quality)
When Ushijima began to knock on your door for the umpteenth time this week both you and Tendou had decided that maybe it was time to take him serious about his requests of being in your daughters life.
So after much discussion, he agreed that if it meant he could be in the three of your lives he’d move to Paris in an instant, so that’s how you got pro-athlete Ushijima to move in with you and your fiancé under the veil of co parenting.
Tumblr media
Anywho! Let me know if you guys want more or want to see anything else because I love writing requests so much😭😭

8, 9, and 18 for the new/end of year fanfic asks
8. Is there a story idea in your mental vault that you’ve never been brave enough to try writing? Is this the year? Can you tell us about it?
I guess my best answer is the great Fringe fix-it AU, which definitely feels like too much to tackle right now, so I've just been adding tiny pieces as I feel like it. Instead of a proper long-form fic, I may end up just writing snippets that connect over a given timeline - sort of like Restore the Years, I suppose - but the downside to that is that for a work that's entirely founded on the goal to force the post-S3 plot actually make sense and resonate with what came before it, I don't think skipping around and skimping on plot would actually accomplish my goal. Anyway, my idea is basically "Olivia and Peter and Olivia and Lincoln coparent across the bridge between universes," because I think Henry deserved to stay in existence and everyone should have had to actually deal with all the emotional fallout. Also because we were robbed of red!verse Lincoln and Liv falling in love while raising a baby and I'm still mad about it. This is probably not the year, but maybe I'll make some progress on it.
9. Short term goals… what do you hope to complete this week or in January?
Mostly the goal is to just keep chugging along on my WIPs. Ideally I'd like to post the next chapter of Here's a Safe Place to Lay Your Heart Down by the end of the month, but I generally try not to get my heart set on the specifics so as not to take the fun out of it. Planning to participate in at least one January Lockwood & Co flash fiction challenge, I've been really enjoying those. Also thinking of doing a WIP amnesty sort of thing to reevaluate my long-term backlog; for example, there's at least one Community fic that I think I'd be happier completing as a oneshot instead of trying to craft a plot arc around what I already have.
18. Do you typically post multi-chapters as you write, or finish it all and then start posting? Would you like to change your posting method? 
I always have the whole thing outlined (loosely) and at least a solid start at drafting all chapters before I start posting. It inhibits my creativity if I don't know where I'm going and I'm constantly stressing about making a decision I can't undo later. I used to be way more of a pantser, even as recently as my Continuum days, and it was nice for keeping motivation high but that meant plots that didn't always fit together neatly or pacing that felt clunky. Those Binary Stars was probably my first experiment with the loose outlining method - mm, I suppose I tried pieces of it with Just Once, but that was supposed to be a oneshot that wouldn't shut up and thus pacing issues were a given - and the three-act structure is probably a huge part of why I was suddenly able to bang out high-quality longfic (for me, anyway) like never before.

i know this is a kinda cursed question but what would be the birdhouse au guys in omegaverse?
tbh i don't have as exciting of an answer for you as you'd probably like bc the premise of the AU hangs so heavily on the idea of these guys being alternate versions of each other that having them have different secondary genders doesn't reeeeally make that much sense, but hey why not here's a few hypotheticals under the cut:
the most obvious scenarios in this case are sams all alphas + dreams all omegas, and sams all omegas + dreams all alphas in terms of like, traditionally how omegaverse ship content tends to pan out. so we'll start from here. regardless of who's who, the uh Biological Compatibility, let's say, is a draw and repellant to both the dreams and the sams, depending on who and when and in what context. j!Dream is absolutely down to babytrap himself into more privileges, especially if he's capable of becoming pregnant. c!Dream is deathly afraid of that same possibility. j!Sam is uhhh well. He's Got Feelings about the whole idea of being ~meant to be~ biologically and also afraid that it'll be used against him through Dream's Manipulations (whether he's an alpha or omega, in this scenario)--depending on the scenario, he's definitely ping-ponging between putting Way too much emphasis on the secondary sex thing or completely ignoring its existence. ummm ff!Sam kindaaa dgaf besides how it all justifies stuff sexually like he's just horny that's it.
if either sam or dream are betas, then that whole like "inherent compatibility" thing wouldn't exist and affect their dynamics. if the sams were betas, they'd definitely like appreciate the relative detachment biologically, especially when compared to ruts/heats where dream loses control while sam gets to keep it. if the dreams are betas, then sam is probably keeping them pretty far away from ruts/heats just bc they don't like the feeling of being vulnerable like that in front of dream.
if we have alpha/alpha or omega/omega, i kinda almost feel like there'd be a point of proving how dream is "evil" because he's...a worse alpha or omega? not from a sexual standpoint, but like, just in general. the similarities are kinda discomfiting to sam and sam is making a general effort to put some distance there. dream is a bad alpha bc he's overly domineering and doesn't give a crap about his pack, dream is a bad omega because he's not nurturing enough and too assertive or whatever stupid excuse etc. and beta/beta is just kinda normal ig.
i'm boring, i feel like there's stuff that could technically be explored in all these scenarios but alpha sams + omega dreams kinda works best for the format and characterizations. (for the record, i'm not talking abt coparents here bc that's not my turf, though i'm 90% sure that theyd both be alphas? ik angela has said pream alpha before.) w/ mayfair specifically, a lot of what makes it go down the way it does is j!awesamdream kinda just kinda diving headfirst into craziness just bc nothing's there to stop them, and i feel like being enabled biologically fits much better for their whole Progression compared to if biology were to work against their whole dynamic. pre-birdhouse, j!sam is seeing mayfair as the Ultimate Victory, and like. him and dream and a perfect house, his prisoner, his omega, whatever? combined with the ways that four square would deeefinitely touch on this in an omegaverse AU, it's really the perfect excuse for him (and dream) to let biology run its course and uh, take over. it's the perfect excuse for him to see dream as his and the perfect excuse for them to just, go fucking nuts with it. so they go fucking nuts with it.
j!dream would prefer being an omega like for the record. like i mean there are a whole host of reasons but also like bc he's a little dumbass a huge one is literally just convenience. yeah it's not hard to carry lube around everywhere but it's the principle of the matter you know. c!dream, on the other hand, is even more high-strung and anxious than he is in canon bc of this whole deal nuh uh do not pass go do not collect $200 GET HIM OUT OF HERE [rattles the bars of his cage] etc. heats would be. an especially sore spot--a point of abject terror before he gets involved with anyone and kinda just awful when he does join the hell polycule; sam isn't cruel during them, but that doesn't really make the lack of control feel better. especially when his sync up with j!dream. sam...probably isn't going to get him suppressants tho 😭also jmah!duo are too stupid to be biologically compatible the chances of j!dream getting knocked up and dying are astronomically high whenever it's possible
in terms of like, allowing for a little more variability between the sams and the dreams, i'd say that p!dream as stated earlier would likely be an alpha. c!dream and j!dream have to be the same it's part of the premise for their universes that's not gonna change, omega for them and alpha for j!sam again for the reasons outlined above yes i'm boring. i can totally see ff!sam as either a beta or an omega. omega ff!sam is really awful in a kinda funny way kenjo would probably support the "let ff!sam have a baby" agenda but i think all of the rest of us are against his parenting. p!sam is...im pretty sure he's an alpha but im not sure that's angela's turf. there's something a little funny to me personally with birdhouse involving alpha trans guy pream + omegas cis guys c/jream i wont lie like i think theyd kinda make a joke or two about that.
just for like, very general non-secondary gender specific notes? pheremone stuff allows for another means of communication that doesn't easily allow for lying, for better and for worse. there's a lot of fear in this house. it probably lingers in the corners. the basement reeks of it. it makes it a little more obvious too when someone's had sex, which i mean, it's not like they were subtle before but yknow. mating/bonds kinda work differently i think depending on how people's omegaverse rules work But i think j!sam in general hesitates on initating mating bonds like, for awhile. ff!sam has no desire to be mated to either j! or c!dream; they're prisoners. not mates. i actually do like the idea of er j!sam ending up claiming j!dream during a very specific incident, especially when the creation of a bond incorporates like a level of greater sensitivity? or whatever to the other's emotions, or like outright emotional telepathy in some versions. j!sam can't admit the drive behind why he did what he did, especially in the scenario in which he does it, but also the added connection to j!dream is. somewhat intoxicating. uhh h what else exists in omegaverse...the added biological component to the conditioning for j!Dream is. errrr. bad. really bad. mayfair probably gets cranked up to a higher intensity than it already is which is insane considering mayfair (gestures vaguely again at the whole, theyre too stupid to be biologically compatible thing, technically j!sam is probably careful enough to remember birth control consistently but i dont trust this mans for my life). no clue what theyd smell like for the damn record. maybe cinnamon, for c/jream. either like cinnamon/vanilla/warm spice-y or something like, clean and fresh and very faintly floral, mostly like grass. shrug. ummmm idk idk .. sam would fucking love having an alpha voice holee fuck this guy was already talking to dream with a bad dog voice in the prison break. tho he basically like engineers that without omegaverse in jmah already bc he's a freak. the ways theyd work with and against their instincts is kinda interesting? anyway yea that's it

Thoughts on the new Night at the Museum!
Aight, NatM has been my comfort franchise since 2009. When I heard we were getting an animated one I was positively ecstatic. Now that it's been out for a week and I've watched it twice here are some thoughts! (Mostly positive with a few things I thought could have been better!) Things I enjoyed
I LOVED the opening sequence. The animation is absolutely gorgeous
The healthy coparenting between Erica and Larry was great to see. Their communication was great and you can really see how their dynamic has changed/improved since the first movie.
Thoroughly enjoyed Nick in this movie. To be honest, the awkward teenager who needed a confidence boost felt a lot more believable than the popular kid throwing raves in his dad's apartment from the natm 3.
The museum exhibits that were locked in the loading dock was a great way to make that part of the museum seem even creepier
Jed and Octavius were so TOUCHY this movie oh my god.
The bit where Teddy threw his sword at the oil painting and oil actually came out of the painting was pretty cool.
I love that this movie's entire theme/vibe was The Power of FriendshipTM
I think the way they incorporated Nick's love for music into how he solves the problem at the end sent a really important message. I can remember being that age and being told to put writing to the side because it was never going to serve me. I hope some kid dealing that sees this movie and is reminded to never give up on what they love.
The bisexual sticker on Nicky's laptop and the gay pride sticker on the poster in the school. I know it's now much, but even seeing the small things bring me a lot of joy.
The lions look so much like Nala and Simba from the Lion King, it felt like a nice nod to the movie.
I really like the direction the voice actor went with Teddy. I was worried that it was going to just be a Robin Williams impression, which would have just been sad but he did a great job taking the character and making it his own.
Did I already mention how touchy Jed and Octavius were?
Things that could have been better
There's a lot of confusion about when this movie takes place. I'm not sure if its before three or after. It makes more sense for it to be before 3 since the whole theme of three was "if you love it let it go," and having it take place after would completely disregard that. But I've seen some people say they think it takes place after. I just wish we had a clear timeline.
I didn't really like Laa. And that's not just this movie, I didn't like him in the third one either. This series itself is so naturally funny, it doesn't feel like it needs that type of slapstick comedy.
There were little callbacks here and there to the previous movies, but it definitely felt a little disconnected from them at the same time? Despite the fact that SEVERAL of these exhibits were in Battle of the Smithsonian(and one of them nearly died) it felt like this was the first time they were seeing Kahmunrah. There was very little to no mention of the events that happened with his character before other than "your father defeated me once, but now I'm back."
(There are a few other things, but I feel like a lot have been said already and I don't want this to get super negative)
Overall I did enjoy the movie. It's still a little jarring hearing different voices for these characters, but I expect that to change over time.
And that's all for that!

Chris/Melissa + i like myself better when i’m with you.
Post-6B, PG-ish, also on ao3.
The routine doesn’t change. The conversations do.
It has been years since Melissa has had reliable adult companionship – one of the few unfortunate elements of her life that can’t be blamed in some way on her involvement in the supernatural world, though that definitely doesn’t help – and she is inclined, for the moment, to take her current situation for what it is and, well…
She’s probably multiple decades too old to justify attempting a friends-with-benefits situation, but if that’s the easiest way to keep that man in her life, so be it.
He’s around every evening she’s not working, even though most of their coparenting responsibilities are currently elsewhere – most but not all, she reminds herself, they do still have Malia and her rampage through the local community college to keep an eye on – and it’s been different since whatever happened that one night that they don’t talk about, and-
“Why do you do this?” Melissa asks. It’s a Thursday in February, rainy outside, late, one of those nights she knows he’s going to stay but end up on the couch and blame it on weird vibes and-
“Do what, exactly?”
“Keep coming around, keep seeing me even though…”
They have not by any means had anything even close to a define-the-relationship conversation, and she doubts they ever will. Whatever internal damage Chris has that she’s decided she doesn’t want to know any more about than she has to, repression is definitely one of his bigger issues, and-
“I like myself better when I’m with you. Feels less…”
“I’m a distraction,” she interprets.
He crosses the space between them and puts his hands so lightly on her shoulders she could melt. “No. More than that.”
“Then what are we…”
“What do you want me to say? Do you want me to offer you my life? Because if that’s what you want I will-“
Melissa is unable to suppress the urge to say something that never ends anywhere she actually wants to go. “Is that normal for you?”
“Normal within my background, completely.”
He worries her sometimes, she thinks, and she hates that he worries her when she knows how capable he is, and-
“I’m not that kind of woman.”
“I know. That’s why I’m asking permission and not just going ahead and-“
“I don’t know what I want, but I’m not sure…”
“If you want me to leave-“
“I have never wanted you to leave. I know that much.”
She looks up at him and she wonders like she almost never lets herself wonder if maybe this is the start of something more, maybe they domesticate each other, maybe she sets some rules for her sanity but doesn’t try to change him like she usually does when she catches feelings for someone because that never ends well, maybe-
“I don’t want to pressure you into-“
“You could pressure me a little more. Or at least make your desires a little clearer because right now we’re so awkward and I don’t know what’s actually going on and-“
“What do you actually want? Realistic or not, what do you-“
“I want you to stay. Not just tonight but even the nights I’m working, just so someone’s here if something wounded and a species I don’t know about turns up on the porch. I want you to not stop when your hands get on my waist and you act like touching my skin is going to break me, because it won’t, and I want-“
“You realize how easy that all is, don’t you?”
“You have never tried to date as a single parent with multiple children who are as easily amused as they are loyal, and yes I know technically only one of them is actually mine but-“
“I would say all of them count. And I’m well aware what will happen to me if I do anything wrong by you, even or possibly especially by accident. They’re not subtle.”
“Well, you’re still into me even after the first round of threats, that’s further than-“
“Have they… had reason to do this since-“
“No, but I can’t imagine it’s gotten worse than the time with the paintball gun and I have no idea where they even got that, they were thirteen and I’m pretty sure-“
“Paintball gun?”
“You don’t wanna know, and I didn’t actually see it but I did hear three different versions of what happened and the two that should’ve matched didn’t…”
“No, I just had four different species remind me of their powers and how many other connections they have, I’m pretty sure…”
“Sounds relatively approving,” Melissa laughs. “You don’t have any injuries you didn’t bother to tell me about this time, do you?”
“Not even wounded pride.”
“That’s practically permission for a courthouse wedding from them. Not that I-“
“I don’t think I’m that type.”
“Remarriage, or…?”
“Wedding should mean something. Don’t know how normal people do it, but-“
“My first one was I was twenty-one and culturally Catholic so what I wanted was fairly low on the priority list and I don’t think anyone let me pick anything more significant than what color flowers I wanted, so…”
“Good to know. Not now or anytime soon, but-“
“Definitely not anytime soon. I’d like to sleep with you before we even talk about it.”
He’s quiet for almost a moment too long, quiet and still and-
“Understood. And if that… also takes time…”
“I may jump you. You could easily push me off, but-“
“I wouldn’t.”
“Good to know.”

Thanks Angie for your reply, I appreciate it! I’m the pill anon (lol). To your questions what I would say is: yes, you have to be very stupid to have unprotected sex with a random American girlie. Or very intoxicated, or very troubled. Which he might have been all of those things, and that’s fine, he was entitled to make mistakes and be stupid even if he was in the biggest boyband in the world, that doesn’t make him immune to mistakes. If I remember those times in 2015, it’s not that farfetched to assume he might have been in a state of mind to do a stupid thing like this. Or maybe the condom broke and she lied about taking the day-after pill? Who knows, but we know now she’s a trump supporter hungry for fame, so…
When I said he might be trying to make the best out of the situation without us knowing, I meant in reference to all the bullshit we had to endure 2016/2017 like the pap walks or all the bs from Brianna and family (the staged picnic still haunts me). For what we know of Louis, we could assume he might have tried to stop it, create boundaries etc, but we don’t know the context in which those conversations where had and how much he had on his plate. The first years might have been VERY tough on him because 1) Brianna’s family is a mess and has very different beliefs from his, which must have not created the best environment and 2) what was going on with Jay (and then Fizzy) forced him to be in the UK most of his time, and coparenting with a person you dont like who lives across the world must not have been easy. In this specific context, I do think he must have tried to make the best of it, because for what we know of him I still believe this is more likely than for him to be faking it.
I would also argue that being a dad publicly did nothing to his career if not damage. I did understand the potential need (and commercial value) for a stunt like this closet-wise in 2015, but only if it would have stopped at rumours or if a denial of paternity came right after the birth. At this point, more than 7 years in, there’s clearly no commercial value to perpetuate it if it was a farce. It’d be actually a considerable cost for anyone who’s “sponsoring” this. Who’s paying the ‘actors’ involved? Louis? Why, to keep his closet safe? He has beards for that. Sony? Why would they still pay for this, to damage Louis? There are infinite ways they had to do so much more cost-effective (see: radio ban). Like, who would pay for something like this? I just can’t imagine anyone being willing to fake something like this. If you want to share your thoughts on this I am more than open to know what you think might be the dynamic.
And yes, I strongly agree with your last comment. I just believe he’s a good person, you know? It’s painful to see such a huge portion of his fanbase being so categorically “either it’s a stunt and he’s an asshole for dragging it for so long, or he is a dad and he’s asshole because he’s been a shit dad” which I mean, how do people even feel entitled to make assumptions on what kind of dad he might be? On how is life was these past years? Yes everyone can have opinions on what we are presented but maybe it’s not all black and white? Maybe we don’t *know* everything like we think we do? I just wish there was more chill and compassion in assessing the situation.
Anyways, thank you for the civil conversation, I know it’s a shitty controversial topic and my thoughts are definitely the minority around here, so thanks for listening and replying to me ✨
So many questions there… I kept answering in my head with the same answer and nobody would like it. I think the troubled guy character could have been possible if it wasn’t fake and manufactured. The party boy, like they call him, was purposely built out of nowhere and I know this because all the boys were manufactured and they’re entire images were painted on them with very talented brushes. They were (and are today) the products of a detailed marketing project imo. That’s why I can’t believe in “mistakes”. If it was a mistake, the so called oopsie baby, why haven’t they ever tried to put the rumours at rest? Usually a mistake is something you don’t want people to find out? A mistake is by definition something that went wrong and you are supposed to fix it. At worst, you pretend it has never happened lol but they pushed it and pushed it and pushed it. This baby was H I S baby even before he was ever conceived lol
I wont comment on the neglected child. I’m definitely not a supporter of that narrative fans tell themselves like it’s either fake or he’s a shitty father because it’s silly and makes really no sense for me. At the end of the day, we won’t ever know the truth so I don’t see what’s the point in fighting against each other. We should collectively agree this is SNAFU and call it a day hahah

OOC: You, madam, are the epitome of a good parent and a strong person. I used to work in juvenile court, and I see so many people, when the relationship does not work, take it out on the children. THANK YOU for not doing that. (You absolutely do not need my approval for anything, but still, just wanted to give you kudos) I cannot imagine how difficult it must be, and granted, yes, as a single/childless person here, I don't know what it's like, but my Discord and IMs are open if you ever need to vent or if you just need me to spam your accounts with anons or spam you with happy pictures. Hang in there, sweetie. You're an incredible human being, and I hope you can remember that. 💙
you are so going to make me cry. it certainly isn't easy by any means trying to make coparenting work with someone who decided they didn't love me anymore. but everything is amicable and there aren't any hard feelings. we don't hate each other and we can still be friends.
i grew up in a household where the exact opposite happened. my parents hated each other and took it out on us. they were drunks who cherished everything more than their kids. they hated each other and rarely ever talked, especially after we got older. and idk. as much as i'm hurting right now i don't want that for my kids. i want to be so much better than my parents were.
i appreciate this so much cause there's a lot i feel like i've failed at when it comes to being a wife and a mother and some days are tougher than others. and trust me i will not say no to any of anything you'd like to throw at me. i could definitely use all the things to help me cheer up. cause separating from a spouse is hard and its been even tougher during the holidays. cause even if we are spending it together with the kids we aren't spending it TOGETHER if that makes sense.

One last time
Funny. My last post was about her being team canoe and here we are again and she’s DEFINITELY team canoe.
I said I wouldn’t post again but I have nowhere else to go and nobody to talk to.
I feel like when my old man died all over again. Only difference this time is that instead of going on my bender binge in a hotel room I’m doing it while working and in hell. Maybe my heart gives out this time. I’m not twenty anymore. I’m surprised nobody has smelled me or noticed my sniffles or anything. Faking being asleep is horrible but I’m managing.
How did we get here? Easy. She went to the event that started us. She didn’t give a shit about it. She knew I was against it. But hey canoe and that big piece of shit gringo kept asking so how could she let them down?? She can’t even go to the building without making it known to canoe she’s there. She went and it made an event that signified us nothing. I threw out the key chain we bought. In my mind when we bought it I had such a great plan. I was going to save it and when we bought our house bring it out with the key to our home. Now that event means nothing.
I had promised to send a goodnight no matter what but this time it’s different. I have told her “I love you” two different times and she didn’t say it back. I have never not returned an “I love you” no matter what has been going on. So what’s the point? An unanswered goodnight and I love you? She even gave me a thumbs up to my last I love you. That’s why I even stopped checking the email.
She’s always said I don’t know how she feels and how I’ve hurt her. She’s always been wrong about that. Now she is even MORE wrong. She destroyed me. I know I’ve made MANY MANY MANY mistakes and have BEYOND fucked up. I dropped the ball more times than I should’ve but I never violated something ours. Last year for the event and 29 SHE planned a vacation. Like a faggot I drove her and picked her up. I skipped the event for the first time ever because it was OUR event. Guess the same way she felt about the 29 is how she felt about the event.
You know what’s funny? She said she couldn’t believe I would let that ruin us but she’s the one who said she was done. She’s the one that said it was over. I have NEVER said it nor would I. She’s the one who went to our event and desecrated it.
This time it’s different. This time she said there’s no going back. I didn’t say that. I have been the cause of every single patch as much as I remember but this time it wasn’t me and it’s not a patch. It’s more than that yet again it wasn’t me. Yes I agreed to go on a cruise because she went to the event but I wasn’t the one that violated something sacred. Now I’m fucked twice. I have to go on a trip I was avoiding and it’s over.
I’m going to give it until next week. If things remain the same I’ll know it’s really over. If that’s the case then everything is going to change. I’m going to have to accept it. The hardest part will be telling her no. It will be asking for my office key back. It will be not helping her with work. Not with her daughters. There is NOTHING that will ever stop me from helping with them. I love them like they were my own and I’ll always help her with anything for them regardless of what’s going on between us. Not that she cares. The oldest had an issue and even though I asked I got nothing. I guess the coparent has beyond stepped up.
I’m no fucking good. She said a bunch of things about me but the truth is summed up by that. I remember the day a mom came up to me and cried and begged for me to let her son out of the game. She told me I was the devil and cursed me. Even though I let him out I guess that curse stayed on me. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This is my karma. All I did wrong has come back. The PD, the situation with her, work. Everything. That fake being in the sky couldn’t even give me something that would take me quick. What’s funny is when I would pray I’d ask if I was going to pay for my mistakes to make it quick. Guess other people’s prayers were stronger than mine.
Well tumblr world I’m signing off and signing out. The way I see it there’s a few ways this goes. I have a heart attack or my body says it’s enough and I pass out or I crash my work car or I don’t even know. Who gives a fuck anyways.
I’ll always love you my lobster.
You were and will always be my one and true zing.

Previous --- Next
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Week 14
Thankfully, the queasiness has subsided, you finally feel like a functioning human being again. You are getting ready for work when you realize your pants barely fit, they won’t fucking button. You’re definitely showing now. This means people are going to know for sure you are pregnant, and you guess you have to have no shame.
Jungkook 7:42am
Hello you are officially in your second trimester:)))
Jungkook 7:44am
Our baby can squint her little eyes now…she can also frown. Not saying I want her to frown because I don’t want my baby to be sad but imagine? How cute? She would be? With a little? Frown on her face?
Jungkook 7:45am
She’s also the size of a lemon:)
You can’t help but giggle at Jungkook’s texts. You have to admit, he has been very great the last few weeks. He’s always attentive, always communicating and even said no to a night of partying with your friends to stay in with you since you were feeling tired. But your friends miss you and you promised tonight you guys could all chill at your apartment.
Jungkook 7:50am
Also tonight, I am making lemon squares to celebrate our baby being the size of a lemon.
y/n 7:50am
Ew, pls don’t do that.
Jungkook 7:52am
Listen I don’t like it either but we must. For her.
You laugh as you walk out to your car, your phone in your hands as you read his message. Jungkook’s cute. Really cute. His messages always make you heart flutter, and your hands pool with sweat. But you have to remember his kindness isn’t because he has like, feelings for you but because you are quite literally carrying his baby.
You wonder if he is still seeing Liza…you aren’t sure what they are but he says it’s nothing serious. You guess you’ll have to believe him. It makes sense though, doesn’t it? He wouldn’t do serious with you either.
Work goes by slowly, probably because you are so excited for tonight. All 7 boys will be in your apartment and you cannot wait.
~
“Hi baby, hi baby, hi baby.” Taehyung coos at your stomach, his hands wrapped around you.
“Okay, we get it.” Jungkook rolls his eyes, tugging Taehyung off of you.
“What?” Taehyung whines. “I’m just so excited. I bet you talk to her all the time, the baby, not y/n.”
“I…” In truth, Jungkook does not talk to your stomach, he finds it…kind of…embarrassing.
“Okay, no more touching or talking to my stomach.”
“Unless you’re me.” Jungkook raises his hand. “Right?” he looks over at you with doe eyes.
“Fine,” You roll your eyes with a smirk, “No more touching or talking to my stomach unless you’re..” you gesture towards Jungkook as he stands here proudly.
“You two sure haven’t gotten close.” Yoongi says quietly, sipping a whiskey water. You sit down next to him on the sofa and you bump shoulders with him.
“He may be my baby’s daddy, but you’ll always be my number one.” You half joke. You miss the way Yoongi’s cheeks turn rosy.
“Yeah, yeah. Whatever.” He bumps your shoulder back. “Have you guys decided on names?”
“We haven’t even discussed it.” You say honestly. “I think that can wait a little longer.”
“I know you guys are coparenting and stuff…but I’m still here for you.”
“I know, Yoongs.” You smile, “I feel very supported. Everything has been running so smoothly.”
“Doesn’t that scare you?” Yoongi all but whispers.
“What do you mean?”
“That everything is so perfect that something is going to happen.”
“W-Why would you say that!!” you punch his arm and he chuckles.
“I’m just messing with you.” He lies. “Everything is going to be perfect.”
You and Yoongi continue to chat on the sofa, Jungkook is chatting with Namjoon about parenting tips. Namjoon isn’t even a dad? Jin, Jimin, Taehyung and Hobi all play a video game, sitting criss crossed apple sauce on your living room floor.
You notice Jungkook’s eyes falling on you throughout the night, the same way he used to when you two were in the same place before he got you pregnant. It feels all too familiar. You rise from the couch and head towards your small kitchen, you reach for a glass and pour yourself some cold water. Not even 30 seconds pass before Jungkook is walking into the kitchen and leaning against the counter.
“How you feeling? Tired yet? I can tell everyone to go home…and we can watch a movie or something.”
“If I’m kicking them out you’re going with them.” You laugh, “And no, I feel fine.”
“So, what have you and Yoongi been talking about?” his eyes slide to the side, “You guys have really kept to yourselves all night.”
“Just chatting.” You say nonchalantly. “Why?”
“I just know the other boys want to spend time with you too, seems like Yoongi is kind of hogging you.” He bites his lips nervously.
“Hogging me? I am talking to the others as well! But you guys are playing games and I don’t really feel like it, and Yoongi doesn’t either so.”
“I wasn’t trying to say…ugh…” Jungkook continues to chew on his lips, “It’s fine.”
“Of course it’s fine?” you walk closer to him, you can smell his detergent.
Jungkook runs a frustrated hand through his hair as he finds the words to say to you.
“What’s going on Jungkook?” you inch closer and closer, “I know you’ve been watching me a lot tonight. Are you worried about the baby?” you ask, looking up into his dark eyes.
“It’s…” he tries to talk but his words get lost on his tongue…you reach for his hand and place it over your belly.
“See? She’s here. She’s alright.” You rub his hand over your clothed stomach and he slowly closes his eyes.
“Do you think she can feel me?” he whispers.
“Well, I don’t know about that.” You giggle. “but maybe she can hear you. Do you want to try talking to her?”
“No…” he says quietly. “That’s okay.”
“Come on, Jungkook. She wants to hear her daddy.”
Jungkook can’t help the deep blush that arrives on his face, he gulps as he nods his head. He's turned so red and you love it. He bends down until he’s face to face with your stomach and breathes in and out a few times trying to collect himself.
“Hi princess.” He decides to say. “It’s me. Ummm, your papa.” He keeps rubbing your stomach in soothing circles. “Mama is here too…well duh, but uh…I hope you look like her.” He looks up at you and smiles, you scoff playfully.
“She’s so pretty and I know you will be pretty just like her.” He says softly, “I promise I will love you so much…and take care of you and mama.” His eyes go back down to your stomach. “I’m going to be the best dad in the world. I promise you.” Then surprising you, he leans forward and kisses your stomach.
“Oh.” You hear Jimin’s voice interrupt this sweet moment, “you guys are doing cute shit. I will come back later.”
“No, no, no.” Jungkook is quick to stand straight again and turn a million shades of red. “We were just…we’re done.”
You chuckle as you step away from him and you gesture for Jimin to come into the kitchen.
“Beer?” you ask, already looking in your fridge for one for your friend.
“Please.” Jimin stands here awkwardly, “You guys really are cute.” He winks towards Jungkook and Jungkook turns even redder.
Week 15
You stand here in the mirror as you moisturize your stomach, you are trying your best to avoid stretch marks but you know they are natural and almost inevitable. Your phone starts buzzing and you already know who is texting you.
You would be dumb if you couldn’t admit that you are Jungkook are growing closer and closer thanks to your growing baby. But you won’t let yourself grow too hopeful.
Jungkook 9:18pm
Hows my little apple doing? The baby, not you. She’s the size of an apple, can you believe it!:)
Jungkook 9:20pm
She is forming…taste buds! How cool is that, so make sure you eat lots of foods she likes ;)
y/n 9:30pm
I’m going to be up for a while…horrible heartburn. Your little apple is killing me!
Jungkook 9:31pm
Should I come keep you company?
y/n 9:31pm
hmm texting me is enough.
Jungkook 9:32pm
But what If I want to keep you company..
y/n 9:33pm
I look ugly right now lol.
Jungkook 9:34pm
I refuse to believe that. You are the most beautiful girl.
Jungkook 9:34pm
Or woman? Should I call you a woman? You are carrying a child.
y/n 9:35pm
You can call me whatever you want
Jungkook 9:35pm
Oh?;)
y/n 9:36pm
I take that back you ruin everything
Jungkook 9:37pm
:( hey don’t be mean…so lemme come over.
y/n 9:45pm
fine
You rush to apply a little make up and change into some fresh PJ’s. Why are you trying so hard? You don’t know, he’s your ex, and also your baby daddy. You want to at least look presentable.
You sit and wait on your couch until finally there is knocking on your front door.
“Hi.” You say as you swing the door open, “Wait, what’s that?” you point at a bag he is holding. He lifts it up and jingles it around.
“Ice cream.”
“Ice cream?”
“Yeah. I’ve seen you eat a lot of ice cream lately, figured it was one of your cravings.” He shrugs. But you’re confused, you have not eaten ice cream lately and then it hits you.
“That’s gravy.” You say with a straight face. “I have been eating straight up white gravy.”
“W-What…” Jungkook walks through the front door, “Please tell me you are kidding. And that you aren’t feeding our baby gravy. Plain fucking gravy.”
“I wish I could lie to you, Jungkook.” You smile, “but you know I am as honest as they come.”
“You are so…” he shows you a disturbed expression, “…disgusting.”
“I can’t help what I want.” You pout, “Don’t judge me, I am also overly emotional so you will probably hurt my feelings quite easily.”
“Okay, well no hurting your feelings.” Jungkook sets the bag on your kitchen counter, “But you’ll still eat ice cream right?”
“Oh hell to the yeah.” You reach for a tub and head towards the drawers for a spoon. “I will eat anything at this point.”
“That’s good to hear.” He grins at you, “Want to watch a movie?”
“Yes.” You start heading towards your couch, plopping down on one end. Jungkook follows you and sits down on the other end.
“Actually…” Jungkook begins to speak up but he loses his words somewhere along the way.
“Actually what?”
“Can I sit….ah, nothing.”
“Jungkook just tell me.” You open the lid on the ice cream and start digging in.
“Maybe sometime during the movie I can….” He scoots a little closer to you, “I can…” his eyes slide to the side.
“Words, Jungkook.” You say as you eye him over, he looks nervous. But why?
“Maybe I can rub your belly.”
Your eyes widen at his words and you feel your heart start beating a little faster.
“I want to touch you.” He finally says in one breath.
“Me?” you point at yourself. “You want to feel my baby bump?”
“That’s what I mean, yes.” He clears his throat. “I want to feel closer to her.”
“Ah, I see.” Your heart continues thumping wildly in your chest, “Sure, come here.” You set the ice cream down and lean back on the couch.
“You can get comfortable…you can lay on me.” Jungkook offers you his lap.
“You sure?” you ask as you are already laying your head down on his thighs, you put your feet up and turn your head to look up at him. “This is okay?”
Jungkook swallows down his nerves as he nods his head yes. His right hand reaches for your stomach, he starts rubbing soothing circles. And his other hand plays with your hair.
“This is nice.” You breathe out, “Relaxing.”
“Yeah.” Jungkook agrees, “It feels nice feeling this close to you.” Then he is widening his eyes, “You know, the baby.”
“Both are nice.” You say, your eyes still closed. “Here, lift my shirt.” You begin lifting your shirt up and exposing your swollen belly to Jungkook. He exhales a deep breath and smiles at the sight.
“You can feel her better this way. She should be kicking soon.”
“How soon?”
“Any day now.”
“Then I need to spend every day with you because I am not missing my baby’s first kicks.” He half jokes, but you know he is half serious.
“Fine by me.” You admit softly, “If you want.”
Week 16
Jungkook has spent the last week with you, barely going to his own place purely because he wants to be with you when the baby kicks. But he hates that it might happen while you two are at work.
Jungkook 3:58pm
Hows my little avocado? Kicking yet? I swear I will leave work just to feel.
y/n 4:32pm
I will let you know Jungkook.
Jungkook 4:40pm
Maybe her dad needs to talk to her, get her to kick.
y/n 4:52pm
oh? I’ll be home in 30, you can talk to our stubborn lil avocado then:)
Jungkook 5:42pm
Be at your place in 5
You have changed out of your work clothes and begin drawing yourself a bubble bath, Jungkook can just let himself in. You send him a text letting him know to just walk through the front door when he gets here. You dip inside the tub, covering yourself with a million bubbles and soak in the warm water.
You hear Jungkook announce his arrival, the front door opening and closing quickly. You’re really hoping he brought food with him because you are starved. You continue to soak in your tub when you feel it. You feel like something is squirming inside you. Honestly, kind of freaks you out but then you see it. The kicking of your child.
“Jungkook!!!! Jungkook!!! Come here!” you yell for him over and over and he is quick to burst through your bathroom door, worry draped over his features.
“What?! Are you okay?! Did something happen???” he comes to you, his hands cupping your face gently but then he’s confused when he sees you smiling.
“Hurry! Hurry!” You take his hand and guide it towards your bubbly stomach, “She’s kicking!”
At this Jungkook lights up, his eyes traveling down to your belly, he cups you in his large hand and starts rubbing your belly softly.
“Come on princess, kick for papa.” He whispers. “Come on…” he waits with excited eyes. You look fondly at the scene in front of you, you go to cup his hand with your own and start talking to your daughter as well.
“Kick for mommy and daddy.” You say, “Come on my love.”
“Yeah, come on.” Jungkook smile begins to fade. “She must be being stubborn again, she obviously gets that from you.” He teases but you can tell he is actually sad.
“Just keep talking to her.” You urge, “She will kick, you will feel it I promise.” You squeeze his hand.
“Okay…” Jungkook looks back down at your bubbly tummy, he wipes some of the bubbles away and traces his fingers over your skin.
“Want to hear a funny story about your mom?” he talks to your stomach, “When we had our first anniversary, she totally and completely forgot!” he laughs, “I thought she was so mean for that, that she didn’t take our relationship seriously.”
You grow warm at the memory.
“She remembered when I brought out a cake at the restaurant that had a 1 on it. But even then she looked at me like what the heck is going on?” he starts chuckling harder. “I was honestly so hurt. But then she definitely made up for it that night.” He looks up at you and winks.
“Hey! That’s inappropriate!” you laugh.
“But I was so, so in love with her I didn’t even care that she forgot.” He says quietly, “I still—”
“She’s kicking!!!” you scream, “Do you feel it?!”
“Oh my god!” Jungkook jumps up excitedly, his hands never leaving your stomach. His entire face lights up and he looks so genuinely happy. That it melts your heart. He has been waiting and waiting for this moment and it’s finally here.
“Do you feel that?” he asks you, his voice high pitched and excited. “She’s really kicking!”
“That’s our little avocado.” You smile for him and he feels absolutely smitten by your smile.
Week 17
You read you are supposed to avoid sleeping on your back, but it’s so, so hard. You keep tossing and turning from side to side but you really want to sleep on your back.
You have plans with Yoongi in the morning so you really need to get some sleep but you’re so uncomfortable.
The morning comes by way faster than you wanted, you got almost no sleep. You get up though and get ready for the day, deciding on a nice, flowy dress that shows off your pregnant tummy. You drive to the café you’re meeting Yoongi at and wait inside for him, lucky for you he doesn’t make you wait long.
“Hi.” He says sliding in the booth across from you. “You’re looking more and more pregnant every time I see you.”
“Well, that’s how it works.” You deadpan.
“How is the pregnancy going? Smoothly?”
“She’s the size of a turnip…or so Jungkook says.” You laugh, “I don’t really look it up, I just believe him.”
“Jungkook…” Yoongi whispers out, “Do you think you guys are getting back together?”
“I…” you set your menu down and look Yoongi in the eyes, “The Jungkook I have gotten to know during all this is a Jungkook I don’t mind being with. But it really isn’t up to me, now is it?”
“What do you mean?”
“He’s the one who doesn’t want to be with me.” You state plainly, “It’s really that simple. I’ve come to accept it, you know? We’re just going to be coparents.”
“And you’ll be satisfied with that?” Yoongi quirks a brow at you and you scoff.
“Obviously not.” You laugh, “A part of me…feels sad every time we are together. But like I said, I’ve accepted it.”
“Maybe you should move on?” Yoongi waves over the server, “Someone new?”
“Who’s going to want a pregnant chick? A single mom?”
Yoongi frowns because he…
“I don’t know.” He answers, then the server is coming to your table. “Coffee. Black.” He tells her and you just order a water and a fruit tart.
“I’m happy right now, just focusing on my daughter.”
“I’m going to laugh if it’s a boy.”
“It’ll be a girl, Jungkook has mother’s intuition.” You say with a straight face and Yoongi chuckles.
“When do you find out?”
“Next week.” You say excitedly. “Me and Jungkook will think of names after.”
“I hope you're happy y/n. And that only good things come from this.” He says with a smile. “You know I love you?”
“Of course, Yoongs.”

Week 18
Your appointment where you find out the sex of the baby is today. You can’t hide your excitement or your jitters. Jungkook is supposed to come pick you up…10 minutes ago. But you know he is on the way. Your phone starts buzzing with a string of texts, it’s Jungkook letting you know his is here.
You make your way down and he’s waiting for you outside his car.
“Ready?” he says with a grin.
“Why are you late?” you ask, your curiosity getting the best of you. “With Liza?”
Jungkook pulls his brows together in confusion.
“Liza? y/n I ended things with Liza a while ago.” He admits, “I just want to focus on you.” Then he clears his throat, “And the baby.”
“Oh?” you ask, but you can’t help the growing smile. “Well, let’s go find out what we already know, shall we?”
~
“It’s a ….” Kathy has your tummy gelled up and about to tell you the sex of your baby.
Jungkook stands at your side, his hand in yours as you both squeeze them in anticipation.
“A girl!”
“I knew it!” Jungkook jumps up and down, “Mother’s intuition is my bitch!!”
You can’t help the laughter that erupts from your swollen body, you go to squeeze Jungkook’s hand again.
“Everything else look good? Nice and healthy?”
“Nice and healthy.” Kathy repeats, “Healthy baby girl. Why don’t I go print out these pictures for you two?” You and Jungkook nod your heads frantically.
“Can you believe it?”
“Yes, actually.” You say, “I never doubted you.”
“Awh thanks.” He pats your head with his free hand. “This is amazing. Let’s talk names tonight?”
“Already making plans with me?”
“Always.” He grins, “You know I like spending time with you.”
“Okay!” Kathy comes back in, “Here’s for you.” She hands you some photos, “And for you.” She hands Jungkook his own. “Lou misses you y/n. He’s talked about having dinner…maybe you and Jungkook can come by the ho—”
“Uh, yeah. I can.” You look at her awkwardly, “Jungkook obviously doesn’t need to come.”
“Is it because you don’t want me to?” he asks, his expression gone serious. “I mean, I would love to go. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Uncle Lou. Although he probably isn’t happy with me.” Jungkook scratches the back of his neck.
“Somehow he is more excited than anything.” You say. “But if you want to go…maybe dinner tonight? I can call him and ask.”
“Oh!” Kathy lights up, “That’s a wonderful idea! I’ll call him right now.” Then she is taking out her phone and dialing for said man. You and Jungkook gaze at one another, your eyes lingering on his.
“What?” you crack a small smile.
“What?” Jungkook reaches for your hand again, “I can’t look at you?” He squeezes your hand in his, “I really hope she looks like you.” He whispers.
“Why? So you can have a reminder of me every time you look at her?” you joke but Jungkook nods his head and smiles sheepishly.
“Yes.” He responds honestly.
Kathy hangs up the phone and walks toward you two, making you both turn your heads towards her.
“Lou says he can do dinner tonight.”
~
It’s a 45 minutes car ride to Uncle Lou’s place, he lives in the countryside, says he hates the city folk. Classic Uncle Lou.
“Are you sure he doesn’t hate me?” Jungkook turns his head to face you as you two are at a stop light. “He probably wants to kick my ass?”
“Nah, he was excited it’s you.”
“Excited?”
“Yeah, in his mind we are totally going to get back together.” You roll your eyes with a timid smile and Jungkook nods his head slowly.
“He blames me for the breakup,” you tell him, “Says I pushed you, didn’t give you much of a choice. That you’re young and needed more time.” You look out the window.
“Oh.”
“Is he right?” you turn to face Jungkook. “Yoongi also blames me apparently.”
“The only two who have opinions that matter are me and you. And I don’t blame you.” Jungkook grips the steering wheel a little tighter, “Yes, you did push me into it.” He admits under his breath, “But I am at fault too. I was a coward.”
“How were you a coward?”
“I should have told you I loved you and would make it work, that no matter what I can be on the same page as you.”
“But that would have been a lie.” You frown. “You would have just said that to make me happy.”
“Maybe, yeah.” He admits softly, “But at least I would still be with you.”
“Is that….” You pause, biting your lips as you think of what to say. “You want to be with me?”
“y/n…We’re pulling up to Uncle Lou’s maybe we can finish this conversation tomorrow or something.” Jungkook mumbles.
“Sure.”
You two pull up to Lou’s place and find a parking spot in front of his house. It’s big, got red and orange bricks and you know it will smell like vanilla. Jungkook helps you out of the car and you both walk to the front door, you knock a few times but let yourself in.
“We’re here!” you announce your arrival when the short, mustached man comes bulldozing through. His face absolutely lights up when he spots you, he eyes your stomach and laughs.
“Your belly is about as big as mine!”
“Yes, yes. Ha-ha.” You hug him quickly, pulling away so he can take a look at you, a proper look.
“You look beautiful, you look like a superstar.”
“Hi Uncle Lou.” Jungkook awkwardly waves, “Nice to see you again.”
“Ah, Jungkook. Come here you rascal.” Uncle Lou puts Jungkook into a headlock while Jungkook giggles like a school child. “You’re the one who did this to my y/n?” Lou asks playfully.
“Guilty.” Jungkook continues giggling, “But you are right, she looks beautiful.”
Lou let’s go of Jungkook and hugs him properly, “She is, isn’t she?”
“Guys stop.” You say, suddenly feeling super embarrassed. “I’m right here.”
“So it’s official huh? You’re having a girl.” Uncle Lou ushers you to come into the living room and take a seat. “Thought of any names?”
“That’s next on our list of things to do.” You say shyly, “We probably will discuss on the ride home or tomorrow.”
“Ride home? Don’t be silly. You two will be sleeping here tonight.” Lou motions towards his spare room, “I doubt you two mind sharing a room.”
“Lou.” You say sternly, seeing right through his agenda. “We can drive home tonight just fine.”
“Ah, we will see, we will see.”
“I don’t mind staying, or sharing a room. We can talk baby names all night.” Jungkook looks at you with his big, doe eyes and you feel yourself give into him.
“Maybe.” You decide to say. “When’s Kathy getting here?”
“Should be here any moment now.” Lou turns around to look out the window, “Don’t worry, we won’t start dinner without her.”
“Does she still come for dinner every week?” you ask.
“Of course.”
“Uncle…when will you two just—”
“Don’t start that. I’m old, I’ve had my time and fair share of love. It’s you kids I’m worried about.” He points at you and Jungkook and he grows red.
“Lou.”
“Oh alright, alright.” He chuckles, “Kathy and I…maybe our time will come.”
“It could if you just made it happen.” You groan, “She won’t know how you really feel unless you tell her, or ask her out or I don’t know, something.”
“Is it that easy though?” You hear Jungkook whisper. “Just ‘ask her out’ is it that easy?”
“It should be.” You decide to say.
“But what if she doesn’t feel the same anymore?” Jungkook looks up at you. “What if too much time has passed between them and he missed his opportunity?”
“It’s Lou and Kathy.” You deadpan. “Too much time has passed but the feelings are there and anyone can see it.”
“Yeah, Jungkook.” Lou looks at him with soft eyes, “anyone can see it.”
“Anyway,” you look over at Lou, “What on the menu for tonight?”
~
“We really don’t have to stay here, if you’re too tired to drive, I can drive.” You offer weakly, your tired body tattle telling on you.
“Let’s sleep here. I was serious about talking about baby names all night. Even though I’m pretty set on the one I want.” He grins.
“You’ve already thought about a name?”
“Yeah. Since you got pregnant.” He admits sheepishly. “I haven’t said anything though but I finally want to run it by you.
“Since-Since I got pregnant?!” you close the door behind you two as you walk into the spare room. “And you kept it to yourself?”
“I wanted to wait for the right moment.” He pouts. “And I finally found it.”
“Okay what is it?”
“Wait until we are in bed.” He says. “Which side do you want?”
“You’re not sleeping on the floor?” you peel back the covers on the left side, “Like a gentlemen?”
“Oh.” Jungkook frowns, “I can if you want.”
“I’m only kidding. It’s just sharing a bed.” You shrug.
You slip underneath the covers and pull them up to your nose, they smell like vanilla like the rest of the house.
“Turn off the light when you can.” You tell Jungkook. He nods his head but first he reaches for the bottom of his shirt and begins lifting upwards.
“Woah, woah, woah.” You find a breath, “What are you doing?”
“Getting comfortable?” He tilts his head then he smirks, “Why? Does it remind you of the past?”
“Maybe.” You gulp. “I haven’t seen a naked man in a while.” You admit shyly and Jungkook snorts.
“What the hell y/n. I’m not getting naked. Just shirtless.”
“K. Been a while for that too.”
Jungkook laughs as he continues taking his shirt off, he throws it on the chair in the corner of the room.
“Not so bad right?”
“How did you get hotter?” you groan. “You got even more fit and here I am looking like a beached whale.”
Jungkook switches the light off before he’s getting into bed, he slides underneath the covers and scoots closer to the middle of the bed, closer to you.
“I happen to think you look very sexy.” He whispers to you, “Very beautiful.”
“You better think that, you’re the one who did this to me!” you whisper shout and he chuckles.
“I did do this to you.” His hand goes to your swollen belly, “I put a baby in you.” He says lowly, his voice gone down an octave.
“Yeah, you did.” Your hand goes to cup his, “So tell me. What’s the name?”
“Nari.” He says, rubbing your tummy. “It means lily. Which are the first flowers I ever bought you.”
“Ah.” You lightly squeeze his hand. “I love it.”
“Really?” he asks, his tone excited. “You’re not just saying that?”
“Our little Nari, she upgraded from random food to Nari.” You giggle and Jungkook joins you.
“We’re going to be the best parents ever.” Jungkook states confidently, “She has two parents that love her so much.”
“More than anything.” You look down at your stomach, Jungkook’s hands touching you.
“You know she’s the size of bell pepper?” Jungkook asks, “She’s growing so much.”
“Jungkook…” your hands go to his hands, you pull them away from your body and he looks confused.
“Yes?”
“It’s my fault isn’t it?” you ask, your breaths becoming a little unsteady. “The break up.”
“What’s best for you obviously isn’t me.” Jungkook hangs his head low, “You want someone who can offer marriage and kids. And that’s what you want.”
“Yes.” You reply quickly. But then your eyes are wetting with tears as you reach out for him. “But I want that person to be you.” You cry out.
“But that person isn’t me!” he grits. “So yes. Let’s breakup.” He says softly now, “You deserve everything you want y/n. And I’m sorry that person can’t be me.”
“Wait, wait.” You sob, “hold on, just hold on.” You clutch onto his shirt but he rips your hand away.
“Sorry y/n. But I can’t do this…not anymore.”
You start getting teary eyed thinking of the past, Jungkook senses your mood shift and his hands go to cup your face.
“I was a coward y/n. I didn’t break up with you because I didn’t love you. I thought I broke up with you because I did love you.”
“I pushed you into it.” You begin to quietly cry, “If I would have just shut up.”
“Baby don’t think that way.” He scoots closer to you, “It’s in the past now, our present is much better don’t you think?”
“What being friends with you? Coparenting?” you sniffle, “It’s nice but—”
“No.” his hand slides down your arm, “Too much time has passed but the feelings are there aren’t they?” he repeats the words from earlier, “y/n I never stopped…I never stopped lov—ugh.” He takes a deep breath again, “I never stopped loving you.” He squeezes his eyes shut, “The breakup was hard on me too. I coped differently than you, I partied a lot, slept around, so on and so forth.” He admits between bated breaths, “But you are the only thing I have thought about…until you told me you are pregnant. Now I think of you and her.”
You know you feel shocked and confused. You know you want to ask him a million things…like why is he only now telling you this but instead you lay here wide eyed, staring at his face in the dark and wondering why the fuck you aren’t kissing him.
“Jungkook.”
“Hm?” he opens his eyes to look at you, “What is it?”
“You’re still attracted to me…even like this?” you gesture towards your swollen body. Jungkook chuckles darkly, his eyes finding yours as his hand slides back up your arm to cup your jaw.
“I said you’re sexy.” He breathes out roughly, “Most beautiful woman I have ever seen.”
“Then why aren’t you kissing—”
His lips push against yours, the feeling is so soft, so tender. He stays on your lips for several seconds before he leans back away from you and brushes his thumb over your jaw.
“You know how long I have been wanting to do that?” Jungkook breathes against your lips, “You know how long I’ve wanted you again?”
“Jungkook…” your fingers spread across his broad chest, “I miss you.”
“I’m right here.”
“Even still, I miss you.” You lean forward until your lips are on his again, you peck his lips several times. “I was so sad without you…” you admit, leaning away from him.
“I was sad too baby. Sorry I was so immature half the times we met.” He awkwardly laughs, “And made you mad so many times.”
“You think you were only immature half the time?” you tease, “Why did you make me so mad all the time?”
“I don’t know…felt a little fun…to rile you up.” He chuckles, “Sorry, sorry.”
“I’m sorry for everything, Jungkook.” You say more seriously, “I was wrong…I should have just let things be. We were so happy. And I ruined it by bringing up things we didn’t even need to worry about.”
“No, no. I think that conversation was going to happen soon enough anyway. It’s normal for couples to think of that stuff…I just wasn’t there yet. I wasn’t ready.”
“And now you’re forced to be ready. I’m so sorry.” You get choked up but Jungkook leans into you and kisses your lips.
“No…don’t think of it that way.” He tells you, “Yes, I would have liked to do this more traditionally and you know, a little further into the future but I couldn’t be happier.”
“You couldn’t be happier?” you ask in disbelief, “Jungkook we’re exes who drunkenly had sex and you got me pregnant.”
“And I couldn’t be happier.” He beams at you, “Aren’t you in love with her? With baby Nari? I know I am.” He says.
“O-Of course, I am. But—”
“No buts.” His hands find your waist, “Everything happens for a reason.” He tries explaining, “We were just meant to live this life, I guess.”
“What does this mean for us though? I mean,” you take a deep breath. “You just told me you still love me. What do I do with that information?”
“Oh.” Jungkook frowns. “I was hoping you would feel the same way.”
“I do.” You sigh out, “But—”
“No buts.” Jungkook rubs your waist with his thumb. “But I don’t want to just ‘get back together’” he tells you, “I want to start new. From the beginning.”
“What do you mean?”
“First I want to take you on a date. How does that sound?”
~~~~
Week 20
You and Jungkook spend almost every day together…ever since the trip to Lou’s you two have become even more inseparable. It’s been two weeks and he has taken you on several dates, dates that end in making out on the living couch at yours or his place. You have never felt happier.
“Our little Nari is a banana.”
“What?”
“She,” Jungkook points to your round belly, “is the size of a banana.” He leans over until his face is just an inch away from your stomach. “You’re growing so much princess.” He coos.
“Oh.” You laugh, “Yeah, she’s making me feel huge. Can you believe I’m 5 months?”
“You’re more than half way there babe. I can’t wait! Ugh, can she just come out already. I want to see her.” Jungkook pouts, “Want to hold her.”
“You can hold me in the meantime.” You scoot closer to Jungkook. You two are laying in his bed, just relaxing, chatting away. “I feel a bit uncomfortable…” you admit softly, “But I think I’m ready…”
“Ready?” Jungkook asks with wide eyes. “Oh…if you aren’t comfort—”
“It’s not that. I’m just a bit self-conscious.” You cut in, “But I’m so, so ….”
“So what?” Jungkook raises a brow with a smirk, “So horny? I read about it. Also read that sex while pregnant feels amazing.”
Trail of fire spreads across your skin at Jungkook’s words, you hate it but you nod your head.
“Yes.” You agree with him, “I get so ….excited just kissing you.”
“You can say wet, baby.” Jungkook moves his body closer to yours, his hands finding your waist. “I get excited too. I know you feel how hard I get.”
“Yeah. Feeling you…makes me even more excited.”
“I’m ready whenever you are, but I want you to feel comfortable babe. I know me telling you that you have nothing to feel self-conscious over won’t help but you really are beautiful.”
“It helps a little.” You breathe out lightly, “You’ve always been good at making me feel wanted.”
“Because I always want you.” Jungkook leans in to kiss your neck, “But I can wait.”
“I don’t want to wait.” You blurt out, “I’m going crazy.”
“Wait, even right now?”
“That kiss on my neck went straight to my vagina.” You say with a straight face and Jungkook starts laughing.
“How about we start with just making you feel good?”
“How so?”
“Let me go down on you.” Jungkook offers with a sweet smile, “I haven’t in months and it’s killing me. I miss tasting you.”
“I don’t know…” you begin to feel self-conscious again, “Are you sure?”
“More than sure.” He leans in to kiss your pouty lips, “Once I start making you come I don’t know if I can stop though.” He warns softly. “I want to make you feel good.”
You sigh out, your breaths are sharper than you intend. Jungkook has such an effect on you, it makes you dizzy.
“Jungkook…” your hands find his and you guide him over you, “I really want you.”
Jungkook places himself between your parted legs, he looks at you with eyes that long for you. His hands reach for the waist band of your leggings and he starts dragging them off you, sliding them off leg by leg, your panties coming down with them.
His fingers glide up and down your smooth legs and then he begins massaging your calves. He lays down between your legs and places them over his shoulders, you whine when you lift them but they settle nicely down his back.
“This okay?” he asks, his eyes on yours. “Are you comfortable?”
“It’s good.” You exhale deeply. “It’s good.”
Jungkook starts kissing the inside of your legs, he takes his time as he places his soft kisses on your skin. He scoots closer and closer to your center, where you are thrilled and aching.
“Jungkook.” You moan, “Please don’t tease me.”
“Okay gorgeous.” He listens to you, nodding his head as he licks his lips. “Going to taste you now.”
He dips his head between your legs, his tongue starting a slow lick up to your clit, you immediately tense your body at the feeling. You grip the sheets beneath you, your hands balled up. Jungkook’s tongue stays on your clit and he starts to flick his tongue over it nice and slow. You grip the sheets harder, your toes curling.
“Jungkook.” You moan again, this time as you exhaled one deep, long breath. “Fuck.”
Jungkook starts flicking his tongue faster, your bundle of nerves getting assaulted by his offensive tongue. You begin moaning more consistently, some low, some higher pitched. Jungkook holds on to your thighs as you begin crushing his head with them, his tongue lapping you up deliciously. His tongue does not quit, he licks you up, wraps his pretty lips around your swollen clit and sucks on it.
“F-Fingers.” You pant. “Please.”
Jungkook does not disappoint, not as you feel two of his fingers teasing your hole. Then as he licks you up faster and faster, you feel his fingers slide into you. He starts to pump them quickly, matching his pace on your clit and you cry out in pleasure. His fingers go deep, so deep, your fingers are no competition for his.
Your whole body is tense, feeling like you’re on the verge of breaking lose. Your hands finally leave the sheets and make their way into Jungkook’s dark hair. You tug and pull and listen to him groan into your pussy. You roll your eyes to the back of your head when he starts sucking on your clit again.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck.” You cry out, “I’m so close.”
Jungkook feels motivated to fuck you even harder with his fingers, they push In and out of you quickly as he continues to flick his tongue over your clit. You get hit with a sudden wave of warmth, with a sudden wave of electricity. You can’t control yourself as your orgasm washes over you, your body tense and tingling. You squeeze Jungkook’s head between your thighs as you ride out your high, moving your hips against his wet mouth.
“Oh my god, oh my god.” You yell out, your moans filling the room.
Jungkook lifts himself from your pussy, lowering your legs carefully and looking up at you with doe eyes.
“How was it?” he asks, looking for praise.
“You did amazing baby,” you lean back on the pillow, “So amazing.”
Jungkook chuckles, feeling satisfied. He wipes his face with his shirt before pulling it off his body.
“Do you want me y/n?”
You lift your head up to get a look at him, your eyes lingering on his. They’re filling with love and lust and you have a hard time saying no to him.
“Yes.” You reach for his hand and he gives it to you. “I want you.”
Jungkook is quick to stand and take his sweats and briefs off, leaving him completely naked in front of you. You can’t help but gulp at the sight, his beautiful skin is glowing under this light.
“Can I take your shirt off?” he asks, crawling over your body.
“Yes.” You agree shyly.
Jungkook helps you sit up, he carefully lifts your shirt off your body, revealing you in nothing but a bra. He leans forward and unclasps the bra, freeing your breasts.
“Holy shit, your boobs are huge.” He licks his lips, “Can I feel them?”
“They’re a bit tender but yes.”
Jungkook’s hands grope your breasts softly, he massages them and brushes his thumbs over your nipples, making you sigh out in satisfaction. Jungkook’s eyes go from your breasts to your lips, he leans forward and starts kissing you slowly, his tongue finding yours. You moan over and over, loving the skin to skin contact.
Jungkook places himself between your legs properly, his hard, leaking member teasing your pussy as it bounces against you with how he grinds into you as he kisses you. You start to feel more and more needy, you reach below and grab his length and start stroking it, making Jungkook groan.
“Please.” You quietly beg between erratic breaths, “I need you.”
Jungkook looks into your eyes, his gaze so deep and powerful as he grabs his cock and positions it to your hole, he slowly very slowly starts easing it inside you. He isn’t even half way in before he has to pause to catch his breath.
“Fuck, you’re tight.”
Jungkook breathes out heavily as he starts pushing inside you again, his cock hard and throbbing, He doesn’t stop until he has bottomed out, until his balls are snug against your ass.
“Holy shit…” your eyes roll around, you’re so needy and so dizzy at the feeling of him inside you.
“I need a moment.” Jungkook admits, “This feels too good.” He leans forward and starts kissing you again, his lips move against yours slowly. He savors the feeling of your lips before he is slowly starting to slide out of you, before he is pushing back in. He grunts when he bottoms back out, his cock desperate to fuck you.
“Going to fuck you now, okay?” He warns as he moves his hips back, you nod your head as you moan out and his hips are thrusting forward. He rolls his dangerous hips into you over and over, you both groaning out at how good it feels.
“Ah, Jungkook.” You whimper, “Faster, faster please.”
Jungkook bites down on his bottom lip as he concentrates his thrusts, his hips slapping into yours faster and harder now. He finds a good pace and keeps at it, he falls forward and kisses you roughly now. His hands in your hair, your hands in his hair, you both holding on to each other so tightly as he fucks you deeper and deeper.
Jungkook pulls his lips away from yours and begins attacking your neck, he kisses down your throat, he sucks into the side of your neck and you moan, loving the attention.
“I love you.” Jungkook starts grinding into you, hitting spots so fucking special, “Love you so much.” He breathes into your neck, his words muffled by your hair.
“I love you more Jungkook.” You whine out, “Need your fingers.”
Jungkook’s hand slips between your bodies, his fingers finding your clit. He starts rubbing tight circles over it, making you see star after star.
“Ah, fuck, keep going, I’ll come.” Your harsh breaths and moans reach his ears and he smirks.
“My girl going to come all over my cock?” Jungkook starts fucking into you faster, his balls slapping against your ass. You love the sound.
“Yes, yes, yes.” You pant. “Want to come.”
“Going to cream this cock?” he lifts himself up, fucking you with so much more precision now, his fingers never giving up on your clit,
“Fuck, yes!” you cry out, “Come with me, please, please.”
Jungkook lowers himself down again, his lips on yours, he sloppily makes out with you as he fucks into you harder now, his cock is throbbing and needing to find release.
You reach below you, fondling his balls and Jungkook whimpers into your mouth.
“Come.” He tells you between kisses, his fingers pressing down harder onto your clit as you come. Your body goes tense and your legs shake as you come on his cock, he kisses you through it. His hips slam into you until he’s stilling them, shooting his cum inside you. He pants into your mouth as his muscles clench as he comes.
“Fuuuuck.” He moans out, he starts to kiss you more slowly now as he slowly grinds into you, riding out his and your highs.
“Oh my god.” You breathe out roughly. “That was…that was.” You can’t even finish your sentence because you’re so out of breath.
“Yeah.” Jungkook smiles, pecking your lips. He slowly eases his cock out of you, and rolls to the side. He cuddles close to you, pulling you in.
“Amazing.” He says, kissing the top of your head.
“I needed that.” You laugh, “You made me feel so good, Jungkook.”
“Good.” He takes your hand in his and squeezes it, “You make me feel so good too. Incredible actually.”
“I really, really love you.”
~~~~~
Week 22
“You know our little Nari has hair now?” Jungkook tells the boys, “Her hair is literally sprouting as we speak!” he says excitedly.
“You told us already.” Yoongi says plainly but he has a small smile on his face.
“Well, did I tell you guys she is the size of a squash this week?” he shows them the size with his hands.
“Squashes are smaller than that.” Namjoon says with a smile, “But good try.”
“Whatever, point is, she is getting big!” Jungkook brings his water to his lips as he takes a sip, his eyes finding yours. “I mean, just look at my girl. She’s huge!”
“That’s not the compliment you think it is.” You deadpan.
“What?” Jungkook pouts, “It makes me happy.”
“I can’t wait to be an uncle!” Jin exclaims loudly, “I am going to spoil this little girl so much.”
“I bet she will love her Uncle Tae the most.” Taehyung stands up to grab a drink from the fridge then looks over his shoulder at you. “Right, y/n?”
“Yes, yes. Right.” You wave him off.
“And her Uncle Jimin.” Jimin frowns. “Can you grab me one too, Taehyung?”
“So guys,” Hobi looks between you and Jungkook. “You guys are together now…are you guys going to make it official and get married?” He wiggles his brows and you stare at him in surprise while Jungkook goes red. Absolutely red.
“W-What??” you stutter out, “We just got together. Plus…” your eyes slide to Jungkook.
“We haven’t talked about that yet.” Jungkook sighs out, but then a smile makes its way onto his lips despite how flustered he looks.
“Yet?” you ask, “Jung—”
“Anyway, what’s for dinner Jin?”
~
“Okay, we’re heading out.” Taehyung and Jimin stand at the front door, “But again next week?” Taehyung asks.
“Yeah, we have to meet again next week so Jungkook can tell us what food Nari is.” Jimin laughs, “And a new fun fact about her.”
“You guys love my fun facts.” Jungkook pouts.
“I know I do.” You say, bumping your shoulder with his. “But I think we should head out too, it’s getting late.”
“Ah, okay.” Jungkook smiles down at you, “My girls are tired?”
“Yes, we need some sleep.” You giggle. “Boys.” You nod at all the guys in Jin’s house. “Until next time.” You blow them all a kiss and they each pretend to faint from it making you laugh. “Bye.”
“See you guys later.” Jungkook’s hand wraps around your middle, guiding you through the front door.
“Let’s walk out together!” Taehyung smiles.
You four make your way to the driveway, Taehyung and Jimin walk you and Jungkook to Jungkook’s car and Taehyung immediately bends down to talk to your tummy.
“Uncle Tae loves you!” then he starts making innocent little kissy noises making you and Jungkook smile.
“Uncle Jimin too!” he rubs your bells tenderly, “See you guys later. Love you!”
“Love you too.” You smile at the boys as they head to Taehyung’s car. Jungkook helps you in the passenger side, making sure you’re all buckled up and closes the door for you.
Jungkook walks around the car, waves at Taehyung and Jimin as they drive away and gets in the car, buckles up and puts on the radio. He hums along to some old song as he rolls down the windows, letting the evening breeze sweep you two away.
“Did you have fun tonight?” Jungkook asks, his hand rubbing up and down your thigh.
“Of course, baby.” You turn your head to smile for him, “Did you?”
“Always.”
Jungkook reverses out of the drive way and drives off into the street, he continues to hum along to this song as he drives, his hand never leaving your thigh. You turn your head to get a look at him, his hair is starting to get a bit longer again. He’s concentrating so hard on the road, it almost makes you laugh. His big, doe eyes are so beautiful. Jungkook feels your eyes on him and he faces you with a dopey grin on his face.
“What?” he mumbles with a smile.
“I love you.”
You feel your heart glowing as he stares at you, his eyes filling with adoration. He squeezes your thigh and you see him get teary eyed.
“What’s wrong babe?” your hand goes to his hand.
“Nothing. I’m just so happy. You and Nari are everything to me.”
“You’re everything to us too.”
“Yet.” He quotes himself from earlier. “We haven’t talked about marriage yet…but maybe we should soon?” he smiles sheepishly. Red. His cheeks turn a wonderful shade of red as he blushes.
“We can talk about that after Nari is born…hmm?” You say, your heart bursting with love and joy. “Do we have a deal?” you ask, teasing.
Jungkook stops at a red light, he takes advantage to take your face in his hands and kiss you passionately.
“Deal.” He whispers against your lips. “I love you too, by the way.”
Then the light turns green, his bright smile imprinted in your mind. He accelerates through the light when Jungkook glances at you and you see how his face turns from relaxed to…something else. His eyes widening and his face losing all color.
You remember the loud, long sound that echoed in your ears, you remember the sound of the car rolling over. The crunch of metal and glass. You remember the sound of Jungkook’s cries. You remember blurry vision, but most of all you remember red.
You remember all the blood that pooled around your limp, helpless body. The red, red blood that stained your hands. The way the blood dripped onto the car floor, the way it dripped from your fingers. When you think of red you usually think of the blush on Jungkook’s cheeks but now you think of the blood that surrounds you. Then all you see is the world fading to black.
~
After a long while, you begin to slowly open your eyes. The bright lights in the room almost blinding you, making you squint. You notice the IV drip first, then the other things connecting you to a machine on your right. You feel your body ache as you try to sit up, but it feels impossible. You jerk your head around wondering what the hell happened when you see Jungkook asleep with his head on the edge of the hospital bed. You begin calling out for him but your voice is weak and hoarse. You finally are able to reach out for him, panicked, you shake him awake.
Jungkook immediately comes to, his swollen eyes finding yours and his face immediately twists into a look of devastation. He starts crying on the spot, his eyes bubbling over with unstoppable tears. Your hand cradles his jaw, wondering what happened. Your other hand goes to your stomach when it hits you—how empty you feel. You look down and start panicking. You look between Jungkook and your belly, with wide eyes that are full of terror.
Jungkook slams his eyes shut as he continues sobbing, his hands find your hand trying to relax you but you finally begin muttering words.
“W-W-What happened? Why are we here?”
Soon, the doctors are rushing in the room. Everything happens so quickly, they try to calm you, laying you back down on the hospital bed. But you feel how wrong this all is. You feel the dread building and building.
“The baby?” you scream out, “The baby???” your lip begins to quiver, your eyes find Jungkook again who is sobbing into your arm. “Jungkook!” you cry out. “How’s the baby?”
He doesn’t even look up at you as he continues to bawl into the side of your body.
“Mam, please calm down.” One of the doctors rests a hand on your shoulder but you shove him off.
“My baby?” You choke out, “How’s my baby?” your eyes fill with inevitable tears. You can just feel how wrong this all is, you can feel how empty you are but this doesn’t stop you from screaming and crying out for her.
“Nari???!!!!!” you scream at the doctor, “Where’s my baby?” you start sobbing as you hold your stomach. “Where’s my-my-my baby???”
Jungkook finally lifts his head pathetically, his eyes are swollen and puffy, his tears nonstop even as he stares at you.
“Jungkook?” you cry out. “Jungkook.” You sob, repeating his name over and over, “Where’s our baby?” Your hands finally find his hands again, and he squeezes yours so tightly as he just shakes his head. He is unable to say it out loud. He feels nothing but pure devastation.
“W-W-What does that mean? Why…why are you just shaking your head???” you continue to sob, knowing exactly what it means. “No.” you cry, “No.”
“y/n…” The doctor tries again, “I’m so sorry.” He tries to speak over your crying. “You…you lost the baby.”
You don’t believe you heard him right…because there is no way. She was just here, her little body inside you, growing every day. She went from being a kumquat to a squash. She is currently growing hair on her precious head. You shake your head furiously.
“Stop….S-Stop lying.” You force yourself to say. “Where is she, huh?”
“y/n.” Jungkook chokes out. You snap your head to face him and you see the absolute devastation in his big, doe eyes. “She’s…..” he starts breathing in and out quickly, his words broken and choked on.
“Don’t.” You shake your head. “Don’t say it too.” Fresh new tears begin sliding down your face. “What the hell is going on?”
Suddenly, Uncle Lou and Kathy are barging in the room. Uncle Lou makes his way to you quickly, his hands going to your bruised face.
“Oh darling…” he says, his eyes glossed over. “I’m so, so sorry.”
And that’s how you know this is reality. Your face scrunches up as you begin sobbing heart wrenching sobs. You can barely breathe, too choked up on your own tears. You hold your stomach and cry and cry and cry.
Jungkook holds your hands the entire time…his own tears creating an ocean in the room. An ocean you would love to drown in. An ocean with waves as high as buildings, crashing over your poor, weak body.
“I’m here my love.” Jungkook finally says something, “I’m here.” Then he is making his way onto your hospital bed and holding you. He holds you softly, as not to hurt you. You took a bad beating in the wreck.
A truck. A truck running a red light, hit your side of the car. It’s a miracle you’re alive. You’ve been unconscious for several days, Jungkook crying at your bedside. He is devastated to learn about Nari but if he loses you too…he doesn’t know if he could continue living. But you woke up and you’re okay.
Jungkook continues to hold on to you as you cry into his chest.
“Our-Our b-baby.” You wail. “Our baby…our baby…”
“I know babe.” Jungkook whispers, his own tears still falling onto his cheeks. “I’m here. I’m here.” He starts rubbing your back soothingly, “I’ll always be here.”

ya'll I'm so sorry but I'm about to go tf off again about this damn weewoo show and these dumb coparenting firefighters.
I can't keep track over what's been discussed already and what hasn't, but I'm freaking out over my re-watch of 4x08 (Breaking Point). I could probably write 25k words on that episode alone and maybe this will be a multi-part post, but I don't want to set the precedent that I'm organized so this will be some more word vomit thrown into the void.
The rest under a cut so you can ignore my hiatus crackheadery if you wish:
Alright, so whoever is still here, I want to talk about three specific scenes in Breaking Point that happen in succession. They are as follows:
1. Eddie's talk with Chris about Ana
2. Buck's awkward double date with Taylor
3. Christopher running away to Buck
Firstly, what I do remember is an excellent meta by @jackles-coded (and they do have some excellent posts about 9-1-1) about this episode and how Albert/Veronica were proxies for Eddie/Ana, so definitely go check that out for a deeper dive. Sorry I don't have the direct link :(
Alright, let's get into this nonsense:
Eddie's talk with Chris about Ana
There are some interesting choices in this scene for sure. We're going to be talking about the usage of the word friend. In this scene, Eddie talks to Christopher about the friend he mentioned before, which Christopher gives a god-tier side-eye to, before Eddie specifically follows up by saying his friend is a woman, in which Christopher proceeds to go ape shit. The end of this scene shows Eddie holding his face with his right hand. There's a shot of LA before the next scene, but the first shot in that scene is a close-up of Buck's right hand, before it zooms out to show the rest of him. Listen, I don't know if this is tinhattery or not, but what a subtle way to connect these two scenes. Which brings us to . . .
Buck's awkward double date with Taylor
The song playing in the background as this scene opens, I know we all know it by now: Where Do We Go by Beauty Queen. In case you don't know, have some lyrics:
I wanna know there will be someone else for you / Cuz I can't stand making plans without you / where do we go when there is nothing left to do / cuz I'm wondering, wondering / where do I go when I stop running? / Will I have a place for my heart to stay? / Don't wanna end up one day with nothing / Where do I go when I stop running
When I return will it have been too many days / spent too long trying just to get away / feeling low and I know you can relate / cuz I'm wondering, wondering / where do I go when I stop running? / Will I have a place for my heart to stay? / Don't wanna end up one day with nothing / Where do I go when I stop running
Speaks for itself, right? It's actually driving me insane.
Not only is this obviously about Buck and Taylor, but this song being placed immediately after the scene with Eddie implores me to parallel it to Eddie's situation with Ana as well.
The scene continues, Taylor spits that unforgiveable bullshit at Buck, causing him to revert to Buck 1.0 before our very eyes. And again we have the usage of the word friend: "Because I could really use a friend right now," says Taylor. Leaving Buck looking dejected, and leading right into the next scene which is . . .
Christopher running away to Buck
So we go from Taylor leaving Buck behind to a scene with Ana trying to peace out herself, but Eddie asking her to stay. And we know what happens: Chris takes an Uber (???) to Buck's and Dad!Buck jumps out for a hot second. We have Buck assuring Christopher that he will always be there for him, and then again the use of friend: "You're a good friend [Buck]."
Listen, I'm sorry (not sorry), but these three scenes happening one after the other, connected the way they are, with an obvious theme about "friendship" and what does it mean and when does it lead to something more, threaded through each scene? What was the reason? What is the endgame here?
The episode altogether, but especially these three scenes, are so loud. The writers really tipped their hands for us, but again, I don't think it's something you catch on the first or second viewing. This plotline was entirely about Buck and Eddie. They have their little moment together at the beginning (which is an entire meta to itself), but they are intentionally separated throughout the rest of the episode. It was about them blindly following the paths they thought they were supposed to travel, ignoring the obvious signs of where they should be going. I am beside myself. These writers . . . .
4.08 is a gold mine, someone dig into this nonsense with me please.

Perryschmirtz is a weird ship that I'm not sure if I am willing to actually ship. Like, Perry can CLEARLY consent and make his own choices, and he's undeniably sapient. But he's still a Platypus. It just feels kind of weird to me. I love their dynamic, but if I ever ship them, it would from an only romantic angle with zero sex stuff. (Also, even if it wasn't an issue, Platypus Biology is still deeply, deeply Cursed.)
I mean, yeah, that’s entirely valid. I personally interpret Perry as asexual and demiromantic (which is great, because Dan Povenmire himself recently stated that Perry’s asexual! Headcanon VALIDATED) and Doof as Bi/Pan. You don’t need sex or sexual attraction to have a happy healthy relationship. And if I’m being honest, that’s one of the main reasons why I ship them. Because it’s not about the physical attraction, it’s about the dynamic relationship.
Doof obviously needed Perry to be his Rock, to help give him the stability his life so desperately needed and to help him work through his trauma. This has been established multiple times, and I don’t think I need to go in depth about why Perry’s important to Doof. But I’d argue that Perry needed Doof too, to figure out who he is when he’s not just being Perry the Pet or Agent P - both identities just as fabricated as eachother. Perry the Platypus is a separate title from both these things, a combination of identities, something new that allows Perry to figure out who he really is behind the masks. The breaks in their fights, the times when Doof would drag Perry out for lunch or a movie, the little personal moments between them were important.
And beyond that, Doof gave Perry an outlet for his parental instincts - Perry always loved the Flynn-Fletchers, and he always will, but he was never allowed to show them who he is as a person. He was never allowed to be a guardian to them. But with Vanessa and Norm? He’s basically their stepdad, if not more. Doof gave him that opportunity.
It’s less about physical attraction and more about what they mean to eachother as people. They’re nemeses, partners, best friends and coparents. They didn’t mean to end up needing eachother like this, but they did anyway. They fell in love - platonic, romantic, whatever - over time, as they spent every day together and got to know eachother bit by bit. They learned to trust one another, learned to make their relationship work.
As for the physical side of their relationship, we see how that manifests in the show. They like fighting, dancing, holding hands, exercising, holding eachother (though that one comes out of necessity more often than personal indulgence), and all kinds of other things together. They’re a very happy couple, albeit with a very unconventional relationship.
Also like, I’m pansexual. To me, physical bodies are only attractive to the extent that they are an extension of the people who inhabit them, and sex is only hot to the extent that it is a display of the love, trust, and communication between the individuals involved. Which I know is weird, but like. When it comes to fictional media, I personally don’t care how “cursed” the biology is, so long as the characters are into eachother. In fact, I tend to gravitate towards fics that feature peculiar anatomy, specifically because it requires more communication between the characters involved, and that’s hot. And I also tend to gravitate away from nsfw fanart, because it tends to objectively the characters involved, and that’s not hot to me personally. Like, you do you dude. I’m gonna hunker down here with my weird-ass slow-burn fanfiction featuring aliens and domestic shenanigans and maybe the occasional cyborg. I’m reading two different time-traveling slow-burn enemies-to-friends-to-lovers fics as we speak. They’re both rated T and they both heavily feature ptsd and sci-fi political drama. One of them features an alien cat man and the other features a tyrannical demon, both brought low by the vengeance of their victims and healing with the help of those who should be their enemies. I am horny for plot
Also platypus biology is cool shut up. Platypi have button-like sensors on their beaks that let them detect organic electricity to help them find prey in murky waters and their foreplay includes circular swimming and tail biting and their fur turns teal in UV light and they’re one of the few monotreme species in the world and like they’re just really neat little critters. Platypi are my favorite animals. They’re so weird I love them. I would not fuck a platypus, but I might, if given the opportunity, become a platypus. Doofenshmirtz DEFINITELY took the opportunity to become a platypus that one time and I think that’s amazing. Furries exist

Actually, here is an alternative thing for you to occupy your time with, and a question I have been meaning to ask you for a while. I have finished 911 finally! So I'm ready for the new season. And I wonder, realistically, what do you think the roadmap would be for a buddie endgame?
I absolutely see how their story has been framed and filmed in a lot of parallels to how a romantic storyline would be set out. But there has been no outright mention of either of them being bi - although the conversation about Maddy setting Buck up with whassisface was very casual and could very easily have been an example of canonically bi Buck - and they are both at the end of season 4 in 'relationships' with women.
So, in your estimation, what's the timeline? What's the transition? How do they go about this and how long does it take? I wanna know your thoughts 👀
okay yes i have lots of thoughts on this and it's actually one of my fave questions i get asked. I've always watched a lot of tv shows so I'm just estimating on what I've seen before and what I would personally do. IMO this love story is a slow burn. We only have four seasons so far and only three of those seasons have Eddie in them. This unsurprisingly got long so ill put it under the cut.
So I'll go by seasons bc to me its important to look at everything that has happened so far by seasons and by love interests and not as a whole. Its the best way i can form a timeline that I think would make the most sense and why
S1: So we don't get any hints at Buck being anything other than straight and I think this is because he was supposed to be. They hadn't planned for Eddie yet and they definitely hadn't planned for the chemistry Oliver and Ryan were gonna have. S1 Buck was this reckless kid who didn't take anything serious. He was definitely super immature. Then he meets Abby and he starts to get serious about his job and his love life. I'm not gonna say "Abby changed him" because she didnt. He saw the person he was and the person he was becoming and decided on that change himself.
S2: Eddie!!!! So we get introduced to this army medic turned firefighter in the least heterosexual way. Then Buck is angry because Eddie is hot and really good at his job. they work together and Eddie compliments Buck and now they're smiley bffs. Seriously wtf was all that? Anyway this is all sus bc from what ive seen before in other shows when a main love interest leaves and a new main character replaces them, that means something. JLH replaced Connie Britton as far as big name actress but i really believe Eddie replaced Abby as far as importance in Buck's life. Do i think they brought him in with the intentions of turning him into a LI? No but they sure fueled the narrative from the get go. I think they saw fans reactions and started testing the waters.
Moving on to LIs in this season. We find out Eddie has a kid and the mother is not in the picture (eddie made sure buck knew that right away). Then later on we find out he's technically still married. shannon comes back and we get Eddie finally getting to confront this head on. He tries to get his family back together for the sake of his son. Its big for Eddie's character bc all he does and all he's ever done is for his son. Then Shannon asks for a divorce then she dies bringing this arc to an abrupt end and leaving eddie heartbroken.
meanwhile Buck is still waiting for Abby. Then he finally accepts that shes not coming back and decides to move on. He goes right back to being "Buck 1.0" with Taylor and feels bad about himself because that really isnt him anymore. He wants a real relationship. So then Ali calls and asks him on an actual date and he agrees. This is his first try at a relationship after a heartbreak. in tv these don't usually work out but are used to develop the main character's growth. We don't really see much of her but she breaks up with him so.
S3: This is Eddie finally dealing with his feelings/guilt season. This is also the season I think we really see how important Buck is to the Diaz boys. S2 had cute buckley-diaz family moments but those could still be interpreted as a best friend and his best friend's kid. This season though... after the tsunamic episode was when i really started to fully believe buddie was going canon. This season is solidifying their bond not only as Buck and Eddie but as Buck Eddie and Christpher. As I'm writing this I realized neither of them really has a love interest in this season do they? Ana is introduced but then is clearly presented as definitely NOT the right choice for eddie and especially for Chris. Then they counter that with Buck helping Eddie build a skateboard for Chris that he can use as opposed to Ana's ablest remarks about how he can't do it so just move on to something else. Then we get Buck's reaction in Eddie Begins. Buck has seen his team his friends his family get hurt on the job before but he has never reacted the way he did when it was Eddie in danger. Again solidifying just how much these two mean to each other. Don't even get me started on this season being when Eddie changes his will offscreen. Anyway we get Abby back and Buck finally gets the closure from that relationship that he needs to move forward into a serious relationship.
Now S4: jfc s4....IMO this is the only logical season to get the ball rolling on Buddie and they sure did that with 4x14 despite everything else. So i never thought they would be the first serious relationship for each other after the heart break theyve both experienced. It wouldn't be fair to their character developments. Buck tries dating Veronica and that clearly doesnt work but we know hes now open to dating again. We get Buck Begins where we see why Buck is the dare devil he is. The only way he got his parents attention as a kid was to put himself in danger. They bring back taylor and how to they ultimately get together after she friendzones him? She thinks hes in danger and suddenly wants him. As much as i hate it this is really gonna be a relationship where Buck finally stands up for himself and sees his own worth and realizes he deserves more. He deserves someone who sees him and loves him for who he is. He deserves to be chosen, something Abby Ali his parents dont do and what i think taylor wont end up doing. I feel like shes gonna choose her career over him. Maybe not in a "I'm breaking up with you" way but maybe she takes a new job and want to do LD (hes tried that twice and it didnt work for him. hes not gonna want that) or she could ask him to go with her but he wont. His family is in LA. His job is in LA. Eddie and Chris are in LA and he won't leave them. Then we have Eddie finally deciding to move on and try dating again so they bring back ana. To me it's not gonna work out so I'm not bothered at all lmao. It's interesting that they'd choose her though. Someone we already know Eddie doesn't trust with his son. There's also more buckley-diaz family scenes of them being coparents. The hildy episode, Chris running to Buck when hes mad at eddie, Buck being the one to tell Chris Eddie got hurt, then Buck staying with Chris and taking on the guardian role without him even knowing just how much that role really does belong to him. He didn't do it out of obligation. He didn't do it because he was asked to. He did it because he thought it would be best for Chris. Finally to 4x14. This is by far the biggest "Oh shit this is it. This is the beginning of buddie". We find out Eddie changed his will a year ago and has just been sitting on this info. I think Eddie knew back then what it meant but he wasn't in the right mindset to accept what it means so he kept it to himself. I think he finally started allowing himself to go there during treasure hunt. The man was jealous yall. Carla coming back and her comment about doing whats best for him and not chris is his oh shit moment. I think he wouldve broken up with Ana a few days after that if he had the time lol. He gets caught up in the mother/son sl then this poor mf gets shot by a sniper. The way that whole scene was filmed btw was not in a bff way. That was a lover watching his beloved almost die in front of him. Buck again puts himself down and Eddie decides this is the moment. He needs Buck to see how important he is. He wants buck to know how loved he is. So he sits there talking himself up to it and finally lets Buck know just how big of a part he is in Eddie's family. Buck's previous scene is him saying he wants someone who wants him back then here is Eddie saying he needs him...Chris needs him. wtf.
So with S5: I think Eddie knows and Buck has a feeling but he's not sure so what i would do is spend s5 with Eddie basically showing Buck his feelings but not exactly getting in the way of Buck's new relationship because Buck has to be the one to make that choice. Id also have chris feeling the different shift with buck having a gf like he did with Eddie. This newfound info wasnt just dropped on us for a "Aww so sweet" moment. This will business is gonna be a part of a bigger storyline. I'm hoping its with Eddie's family during maybe 5b.
So what I think would be the best timeline for canon buddie is 5a eddie already having either broken up with ana or is gonna break up with her, Buck choosing himself and ending things with Taylor by midseason finale, them bringing in Eddie's family in 5b and maybe then being when Eddie confesses his feelings for Buck. Then 6a we could get them walking on egg shells around each other not really knowing what to do bc this is all so new for both of them. This could bring just the right amount of comedy and angst especially them awkward and flustered around each other at work. A big blowup can happen between them for added angst (maybe an arguement before one of them or both of them is put in danger) then a midseason finale kiss. Then trying to find the balance between their personal relationship and their work relationship during 6b.
I don't know how long Fox shows last but procedurals can last a long time. I'm not sure thats gonna be the case for 911 especially with all the main cast staying that long so i think this would give us at least a whole season (S7) of canon buddie.
As far as then being presented as straight, there's been more seeds planted about buck being bi. A few i can remember off the top of my head: all of 2x1 lmao, maddie's comment about bucks boy crush on eddie, buck hinting at thinking eddie is cute when he thinks maddie is talking about him, the christmas elf, the comments on the instagram livestream, idk if youve watched it or not but TK's comment to Buck in the crossover episode, and like you mentioned Maddie's casual comment about setting him up with Josh. All we really know about Eddie's love life is he married Shannon when they were young and is trying with Ana so it could turn into a whole storyline for him.
I'm so sorry this is so long and took forever but i I hope i actually answered your question and didnt just get lost in rambles lmao.
