When your friends get turned into kids and now you're stuck taking care of them.....
Severus is not doing so well....he's stuck caring for Barty who is just clueless and more unpredictable, Mulciber who is too energetic, Regulus who is far too emotional and sensitive and deprived of affection, Evan who is far more obsessed with him than before, Wilkes who is basically the only normal kid there, Avery who asks a lot of questions, and Lucius who doesn't really care and is Severus's favorite at the moment.
(The only easy thing about this drawing was the drawing reference I found. Everything else was complicated.)

Evan: 'Prettiest Smile'
Will: 'Nicest Personality'
Klaus: 'Most likely to start a bar fight'
Severus: 'Least likely to start a bar fight, but most likely to win one'
◇Wes is Avery, Klaus is Mulciber, And William or Will is Wilkes◇

Why Don’t We Returns to New York City, Rings in a New and Authentic Era
I couldn’t tell if I was trembling or if what I was feeling was the vibration of screams that I was engulfed in. Jonah Marais (via Ali Fitzgerald, @alfitzpics) The band that stood before me was one that I had seen at least fifty times and I felt all of my anxiety leave as I leaned into the sweet familiarity of something akin to home. It was different this time, though… different in the best way…

Can we get a ranking of speedsters most to least likely to kill
This thing is gonna be an upside down pyramid. Jesus, okay.
Tier 1 (Have killed, will kill)
Jay, Max, Dawn, Don
Tier 2 (Have killed, will kill again but is more prone to torture when angry and/or threatened)
Barry, Bart, Wally
Tier 3 (Hasn't killed but will if needed)
Avery, Ace, Jesse, Jenni
Tier 4 (Actual child)
Irey, Jai, Wade
My explanation for this? Simple. Tier 1 is all people who have actively fought in wars. Jay fought Nazis, he killed people in WW2. That's just what happened. He doesn't feel bad about it. Jay avoids killing people now because he isn't at war currently, but he will kill and has killed if he absolutely has to.
Max has also fought in wars and he has had a long and storied past throughout history. The man has seen and done things. Not all of them good. But yeah, Max has killed. Will he kill again? Unlikely. Unless someone is threatening his daughter or Bart, in which case, yes, it's very likely.
Dawn and Don also fought in a war and killed entire platoons of Dominators. They're unlikely to kill again because they're dead. But if they weren't dead? I'm pretty sure they'd still be fine with killing people in wartime situations.
Tier 2 is a little bit more complicated. Barry, Wally and Bart have all killed people. It's a last resort for them but it's still always an option. If they have to kill the bad guy to save the civilian then they'll kill the bad guy no questions asked. Some people have to die for the time stream to function correctly? Sure. Okay. Especially bigger bads like Darksied. They had absolutely no problem killing Darksied. Oh, and you better watch out if you threaten their loved ones because the people they love are worth dying and killing for.
They don't like it. They really don't like it. But they'll do it.
(Honestly though? Bart is unnerving unfazed by it)
Tier 3. So... This may come as a surprise but I actually haven't read all the LoSH comics? So while I'm fairly certain Jenni hasn't killed anyone, I can't say that 100%. Either way, she'd be down for it if it was the only option.
Avery would 100% be down for murder. So would Ace. That's the Iris West influence right there. Those two kids are not afraid to get their hands dirty and, while I'm fairly certain they haven't yet, I have no doubt that they will. These two just inherited Iris' moral code and she's totally fine with homicide.
Jesse surprises me because she's gotta have killed someone. I'm wracking my brain and nothing comes to mind but I don't buy that for a second. She's just got that homicidal energy, you know? She's 100% done it and will again, I just can't remember when it was.
Tier 4 is the children. Now... to be clear. I'm not saying that they haven't killed anyone because they are children. No, I'm actually fairly positive they have killed a significant amount of people. I'm saying that they are children and therefore do not understand the concept of death. They don't really understand that they've killed people and I don't really think they are any more or less likely to kill again. Until they understand it they are just destructive forces of nature. No malice or intent. Just sheer raw power.

A silly little something, in honor of the tenth anniversary of the iconic Jackson Avery, Wedding Interrupter™ moment.
___
"So. It seems we find ourselves here once again."
"Catherine, we–"
"Mom–"
"Ta-ta-ta, you do not get to interrupt me. Now, as I was saying. I believe it was, oh, ten years ago? That my son decided that interrupting a wedding ceremony was the best time to proclaim his undying love to his best friend, instead of talking about it privately beforehand, like any mature human being."
"Okay, that's unfai–"
"And then decided that eloping was the way to go, depriving me of the chance to see my only child, the flesh of my flesh – don't roll your eyes, Jackson Avery – get married."
"Catherine, we apologized, but–"
"And I made my displeasure known at the time, if I recall. I may have been harsh, but I said things you two lovebirds needed to hear."
"Could have gone without hearing you call April a gold digger, but okay."
"Now it was nothing against you. You know I was overjoyed last year when I found out that you two were giving it another try. I was nothing but supportive, taking care of my granddaughter so you two could have date nights and the like."
"And we're grateful, Catherine, reall–"
"So imagine my surprise when said granddaughter innocently tells me that last week, she went with her parents to Boston City Hall to watch them sign papers to become husband and wife. Again."
"See? Told you Hattie was going to snitch."
"We were going to tell you, Catherine, I promise."
"Yeah, we just didn't want to make a big deal of it, it was a spur of the moment thi–"
"Babe, you're making it worse."
"So I guess I have to ask. What did I do to be deprived of the chance to see my son, who, once again, is the only child I have, in a tuxedo, and you in a big, poofy dress, tearing up at the sight of each other?"
"Okay, I don't know what Harriet told you, I did not tear up, that's–"
"Hush, child. Now, you know I have cancer, so I'm probably not long for this world."
"Mom, your last exams were absolutely fine. You haven't needed treatment for the past 12 months."
"As I said, I may not be long for this world. So, I have asked Harriet her opinion, and we've decided enough was enough."
"You two decided?"
"She's the most sensible Avery at the moment, and the only one I'm not mad at, so yes, we decided. I took care of the venue, the flowers and the catering. Harriet helped with the dress – April, you're going to love it, I just hope you like flowers – and the music. We're going to have a ceremony, even if it's the last thing I do."
"What?"
"Don't worry, I also invited all your friends from Seattle. Next Saturday. Be ready at 2 p.m., and we'll take care of the rest."
"Mom, that's really unnecessary, we don'–"
"Catherine, what are you say–"
"And one more thing. If I have to hear about a potential grandchild by Harriet or after they are born, I'm disinheriting both of you."

The Babysitters Part 2: Prove It Short Story
Prompt: Hey can you please do one with Rowan or any of the drivers baby where the drivers babysit again but the kid cries the whole time and the drivers has absolutely no idea where what to do and its almost the same as that episode of friends where Emma cries and Phoebe asks have I gone death please

Prove It Masterlist
“Are you excited to spend the day with Uncle Charles, Rowan?” I ask the six year old as we approach the Ferrari driver.
He looks up at me from where he’s holding my hand, eyes gleaming. “Yeah! Is he going to give me candy for lunch again?”
“He did what?” I whip my gaze to Charles, narrowing them into a glare. He at least has the knowledge to look sheepish at Rowan’s slip up.
“Nothing,” Rowan quickly corrects himself.
“Thanks for taking care of him,” I tell Charles as Rowan lets go of my hand to run into his unofficial uncle’s arms. I make sure not to say that Charles is babysitting him, because Rowan’s at the age where he gets upset as soon as he hears that word.
“I’ll take any time that I get to hang out with my little man,” he states, ruffling my son’s hair.
“Mommy and daddy are doing a photoshoot,” Rowan informs his uncle.
“And your brother and sister are in it too! Why aren’t you in it?” Charles questions curiously.
“They’re not in it,” I give him a confused look.
“Then why am I not hanging out with them too?”
“Keagan’s a ball of energy today and Avery is very cranky-””So cranky,” Rowan cuts me off, making us giggle.
“I didn’t want you to have to deal with that.”
“Psh,” Charles waves me off. “I can handle it.”
I raise my eyebrows at him. “Are you sure? A curious six year old, an energetic three year old, and an irritated one year old?”
“You do it, how hard can it be?”
“I kinda want them to be on their worst behavior now just because you said that.”
He laughs as I pull out my phone to text Max to bring the other two kids over.
“What’s going on?” Lando pops his head into the Ferrari garage.
“Lando,” Rowan cheers, running at his other unofficial uncle and hugging his legs.
“Hey buddy,” Lando hugs him back.
“I’m babysitting the three Verstappen kids,” Charles announces.
“Without me?” Lando hollers.
“Sh, you’ll wake her up,” I hiss, watching as Max approaches while holding Keagan’s hand and a sleeping Avery in his arms.
“She is so precious,” Charles squeals, holding out his arms to take her from Max.
“Be careful, she’s very cranky today,” the Red Bull driver warns.
“I know, Y/N already told me,” Charles rolls his eyes.
“Can I babysit too?” Lando asks eagerly.
“Take care of,” Rowan corrects with attitude.
“Sorry, can I take care of them too? I want to start having kids soon.”
“You kind of need to have a partner in order to do that, Lando,” I raise my eyebrows at him.
“I know that, Y/N,” he glares at me. “I’m working on it.”
“I’m sure Charles will need the help,” Max rubs the back of his neck anxiously, obviously unsure about the other drivers taking care of his three pride and joys.
It starts out great. Rowan asks for some food so they head to the Ferrari motorhome, sitting down and giving each boy a bowl of cereal while Avery naps in Charles’ arms.
“How is karting going?” Lando asks the two boys while they eat.
“Good, I ran a kid off the track the other day,” Rowan giggles.
“You’re not supposed to do that, buddy,” Charles tries to reprimand while Lando laughs, which defeats the purpose.
“Keagan can go around the whole track without daddy’s help now,” he continues.
“Great job, Keagan,” they praise.
It’s at this moment that Avery wakes up. She shakes her tiny hair, blonde curls bouncing as she slowly opens her eyelids. The baby lifts her head to look at the person who’s holding her, expecting it to be her dad, the person who was holding her before she fell asleep, only to her horror it’s Uncle Charles.
She doesn’t want Uncle Charles.
She wants daddy.
She erupts into screams and tears.
“Charles, what did you do?” Lando gasps.
“I don’t know,” Charles hisses, trying to bounce the little girl in his arms. That only makes her cry harder.
“Well get her to stop before Max hears.”
“We walked from far away,” Keagan comments.
“I know, but your dad has like supersonic hearing when it comes to you guys,” Lando responds, eyes locked to the reddening baby.
“What’s with all of the noise?” Carlos exits a hallway, approaching the table of five.
“She won’t stop crying,” the Monasque begins patting the baby on the back urgently.
“Give her here,” Carlos holds out his arms and Charles immediately passes Avery over. “Did you try a bottle?”
“No, they didn’t give us a bottle.”
“Yes, they did,” Rowan chimes in calmly, bringing another spoonful of cereal to his mouth.
“No, they didn’t,” Lando responds mockingly.
“They did, it’s in the cooler in the bag that they gave you.”
“And where’s the bag?” Carlos asks.
Lando and Charles look at each other with wide eyes.
“Well? Where’s the bag?” Carlos questions with more demand in his voice this time.
“Did you grab the bag?”
“No, I thought you grabbed the bag.”
“Well, I didn’t!”
Carlos curses softly in Spanish under his breath, the pacing that he started does nothing to sooth Avery. “Will someone just go get the bag?”
Lando jumps up from his seat, running out of the motorhome back towards the garage.
“Daddy’s not going to be happy that she’s been crying this long,” Rowan states casually.
“I miss the time when you couldn’t talk,” Carlos replies.
“I got it, I got it!” Lando runs in, setting the bag on the table. Charles stands up and they dig through it together.
“Here’s the bottle,” Charles hands it to Carlos, who tries to give it to Avery. She won’t take it, crying even louder as the milk dribbles into her mouth. “Okay, here’s a diaper and some wipes.”
Carlos stares at his teammate. “And what am I supposed to do with that?”
“Give her a diaper change.”
“Oh no, I’m not doing that.”
“I’m not doing it either,” Lando agrees.
“What happened to wanting to prepare for your future children?” Charles questions.
“You said that?” Carlos laughs.
“That’s quite a few years away, I still have time.”
Charles rolls his eyes, rolling out the mat on the ground and prepping the supplies.
He changes the little girl’s diaper, which seems to calm her down a bit but she’s still crying.
“Try her dummy,” Rowan suggests.
As a last ditch effort, Charles grabs the pacifier out of the bag, putting it in Avery’s mouth with little hope.
Surprisingly, she quickly stops crying. All three men sigh in relief, her cries still ringing in their ears.
“Wait…” Lando starts, making the other two men look at him. “One, two… isn’t there a third child?”
It takes their minds a moment to process the fact that they lost a child.
“Oh shit, Keagan,” Charles gasps.
“Well,” Carlos claps him on the back. “This seems like it’s meant for you two. Uncle Carlos has some work to do.”
He walks away before either of them can respond, causing Charles to roll his eyes.
“Come on, let’s go look for him,” Charles starts to head towards the exit, Lando following closely behind. “Lando!”
“What?” The Brit questions.
“Go get Rowan, we don’t want to lose another child,” he hisses.
The four of them set out to find the missing child, peaking into garages and motorhomes as casually as they can to not expose the fact that they lost a Verstappen child. If word got back to Max- they’d be dead men.
“We’re almost through the paddock, what if we don’t find him, Charles?” Lando questions nervously, already picturing what words he wants on his gravestone.
“We’ll find him, don’t worry,” he tries his best to reassure the other driver but he’s not that confident in his words.
That is, until a toddler comes waddling out of the Mercedes garage with none other than George Russell’s helmet on his head.
“Keagan,” Lando exclaims, running to take off the helmet to make sure it really is the little boy. Keagan pouts once his helmet gets removed, but Lando doesn’t care, tugging him into his arms. “You can’t just run off like that, bud.”
“What were you even doing in the Mercedes garage?” Charles questions.
“Giving us trade secrets,” George smirks from his seat in the garage.
“This never happened, Y/N and Max never hear a word about this,” Lando threatens.
“Trust me, as amusing as it would be, I don’t want your blood on my hands.”
The five make their way back to the Ferrari garage, arriving just in time to meet Max and Y/N.
“How did it go?” Max reaches out to grab his daughter, who squeals as soon as she’s in her daddy’s arms.
“Uncle Charles and Uncle Lando couldn’t get Avery to stop crying, then Uncle Carlos tried to help but left as soon as they realized Keagan was lost, but we found Keagan with George so it’s all okay,” Rowan explains.
“What?!”

When the Sky Falls
******************************************************** Okay so this will be a little different but here it is...
Summary: Supergirl x Star Girl mash-up based on season one when they are staked out in the cabin but also when they fight eclipso in season two just imagine mass chaos and an old friend calls for help. The catch is that you're also 8 months pregnant, captaining a team helping to save the world. Lena Luthor x pregnant!wife! reader
********************************************************
Brrrr! Brrrr!
You heard a phone going off and felt Lena shift behind you, unwrappping her arms and you no longer could feel her pressed against your back. you glanced at the alarm clock, 2:27am, who is calling at this ungodly hour? "Hello?" she answered. You could hear muffled talking on the other end and then she turned back handing the phone to you. you tried your best to sit up but being 8 months pregnant made it extremely hard so you scooted back resting against the headboard and pillows.
"Y/N Luthor speaking."
"Hey Y/N it's me Pat Doogan, though I knew you as Y/N Avery back then."
"Pat, like Starman's 2nd hand, it's been a while. What's going on it's 2:30 in the morning."
"Yes about that, It's a long story but I need your help and your team. Eclipso got out and I love my stepdaughter but her and her friends can't do this alone."
"Pat, if he's out then he'll be after that staff."
"I know and turns out my stepdaughter now wields it."
"Okay, let me make a few calls, do you know where my old cabin was?"
"Yea but it was small enough for like three people."
"Yea well perks of marrying a billionaire that understands the stress of the superhuman, crimefighting life, she helped me rebuild it. Just trust me it'll fit everyone and it's completely off the grid and high tech go there and hang out until we can get to you."
"Okay, got it, see you soon hopefully."
"Oh trust me you will, you're gonna need us."
You turned to Lena but she already knew, she grabbed the bags from the closet as you got out of bed threw a couple extra things in, and ran them downstairs. You quickly sent out an emergency alert, asking for Wynn, James, Alex, and of course Kara. telling them all to grab their suits and rendezvous at your house, within 20 minutes they were all there ready to go. When arriving at the cabin you saw Pat's car parked and assumed S.T.R.I.P.E. was somewhere nearby in hiding. You saw the lights on and everyone quickly followed behind you and Lena. You could hear arguing in the den you were standing on the balcony above looking down at the scene before you, Pat, another middle-aged blonde woman who you assumed was his wife, a young girl who looked like the woman with wavy blonde hair, a tall boy with disheveled brown hair, and two other girls one Latino with long black braids, and another girl black with short coily hair. You saw blueprints laying on the table before them and you could hear them arguing strategies.
"Well I hate to break up this party but I might be able to help," you started down the stairs. everyine jumped to attention quickly arming themselves, you saw a girl out of the corner of your eye tall, black hair with white highlights, a blade coming from her wrist. "Yes I knew you would make it." Pat quickly made his way over and introduced everyone. "It's been so long and now your married and a baby on the way that's crazy!"
"Yea but that's life," you smiled at Lena, "Anyway everyone this is my team Wynn Schott my technical analyst, Alex Danvers, Len Luthor, James Olsen the guardian, and of course Kara who you all know as Supergirl. I told Pat I would only bring the best." they were all whispering and started to get excited that a Kryptonian was in the same room as them. "Before we go any further Lena and I are glad everyone is here we just wish it was under better circumstances, but villians don;t take days off so lets get eveyine in their bunks and we can figure this out."
"I don't think there's enough bunks though."
"You just need to know where to look," Lena quickly motioned to the wall and it moved revealing and elevator, you stayed uo all night talking strategy and then before you knew it storms started coming and it was time your team needed to move out.
--Time jump--
You were at the cabin with Barbara being the command center, while everyone else was in town, Lena and Wynn took Beth to the town hall to break into mainframes while everyone else was underground fighting, Lena had specially designed suits for everyone to monitor vitals and conditions. Everything was going smoothly until you lost connections to comms and couldn't get them back, vitals started to spike and before you knew it they all went down. Barbara was trying her best to keep calm and help you but moving between screens was becoming harder by the second. You paused a second and shifted in your chair starting to feel a slight tightening, but you blew it off, you needed to get your team and everyone else out alive. You stood up pushed the chair away and continued back to your typing, forgetting the woman behind you.
"Y/N are you okay?" You heard Barbara speak up, forgetting she was there you had allowed yourself to wince, not realizing she saw.
"Yea, it's just hard to be in the dark like this, not knowing if my team or those kids are okay."
"That's not what I meant, you're getting close to your due date which can be stressful enough on the body." She said placing a comforting hand on your back.
"Look I understand the concern but that's my wife, the mother of my child, and my baby's aunts and uncles are down there. I can't sit here trying not to stress myself out when for all I know they could be laying there helpless bleeding out or worse." You felt another pain and this time you knew it was too late, inhaling and taking a deep breath leaning against the desk, almost hitting the floor but feeling her guide you back into the chair.
she bent down in front of you, holding on of your hands. "Trust me, if anyone understands, I do but you're not helping anyone if you're in labor and trying to run a command center by yourself, tell me what to do let me be your hands."
"Okay," you shook your head pitifully at her and started giving her instructions, you stood and started pacing back and forth allowing it to ease the pain while she typed away. Another pain came causing you to stop in your tracks and lean against the far corner of the desk, you tried breathing and a small whine escaped your lips, Barbara watched you out of the corner of her eye, noting that you were getting closer and closer to having this baby. She finished typing her last couple of lines and carefully approached you, you felt her hands slowly massage your lower back relieving some of the pressure. "Okay I think it might be time to move you back upstairs."
"What? No, we need to get connection back."
"Y/N it's trying to restore but if we don't go soon you're gonna have that baby right here, and I don't think you want that?"
You shook your head no, "Just try one more time and if it works we can go upstairs and monitor from one of the tablets."
"One more time," she said studying your eyes and you teared up, you quickly shut them feeling another contraction, and winced as she turned to reboot the program. You both held your breath but then you heard it static and then everything came back at once you watched as the screens lit back up and everyone's pictures and vitals came back online. they quickly transferred to a tablet and Barbara grabbed it moving towards you. You heard her breathe a sigh of relief, and turn to look at you but your face was painted with concern as you looked down, you felt the warm liquid running down your leg and onto the floor, she followed your eyes and then you both looked back up your demeanor suddenly betraying you and breaking from its normal confidence.
"Y/N, your water."
"I....I.." you were speechless. She wrapped her arm around you and quickly took you back upstairs to the master suite. you leaned against the bedpost in pain as she rubbed your back. "Y/N I'm going to call Alex and try to get someone here but unfortunately I'm not sure." you nodded trying to breathe through the pain. She slipped and earpiece in and was talking over the comms, you could only hear what she was saying and the reaction didn't sound good, things started moving fast she was running around grabbing supplies while you fought contractions that were coming on after the other.
20 minutes later Alex and Lena both rush into the room. Alex rushes into the ensuite bathroom washing her hands and asking Barbara questions while Lena rushes to your side, she helps you placing an arm around your back and guiding you onto the bed, she sits behind you and you press into your wife's chest wanting nothing more than this to be over. That's when Alex comes over and helps take your pants, and underwear off. "Y/N this is really going to be uncomfortable but I need to check and see where you're at." You shook your head and waited, feeling her insert two fingers but they didn't make it far before she met your baby's head.
"Okay, Barbara grab some gloves and get over here I'm gonna need some help," Alex climbed up onto the bed in between your legs placing one hand on your knee and the other on your bump. "Y/N I wish this wasn't going to happen here but it looks like this little one wants to meet their mama's a little early."
"It's too early, I have a month left!" you gritted out.
"Well looks like this little one is an overachiever, it'll be okay just on this next contraction I need you to push."
Several pushes, a little bit of blood, and an hour later, "Okay Y/N, stop pushing, I need to...just give me one second."
"What's wrong?" no response so you asked again, no response. "Dammit Alex what's wrong with my baby!"
"Y/N I need you to relax, the shoulder is stuck I'm going to have to check the cord first and then shift the baby but it's going to hurt."
"I don't care, save my baby," she looked at you knowing the danger of the situation, "Alex, you know I trust you with my life so I am telling you now, no matter how loud I scream or how many times I tell you to stop you do what you have to, to save this baby."
"Y/N" you could feel Lena tense behind you. "Do you understand?" she looked at Alex. "No, I said do you understand?"
"Yes."
"Okay then." you gripped Lena's hand and pressed back against her feeling her tears fall, Alex quickly felt for the cord but it wasn't around the neck, now for the hard part. You felt you place two hands on your bump hesitantly and she looked into your eyes, you gave her the go-ahead and closed them gritting your teeth as you felt her start, but that quickly turned into a blood-curdling scream as you felt the pressure on the sore muscles and the baby shifting. "Oh God, I'm okay, I'm okay, God that hurts." You gritted your teeth and felt the baby shift, "Okay Y/N push, go ahead and push." You bore down and pushed with everything you had, feeling the shoulder come loose and the baby slides down. The cry filled the room and Alex wrapped her in one of the white towels laying her on your chest.
"She's here!"
"She?" Lena asked and Alex shook her head.
"We have a daughter, a baby girl."
--Time Jump--
Everyone had returned from defeating Eclipso and Kara was now holding her niece talking to Alex as the rest of the younger team filed in to see. they each got to say hellos before she brought her back into your room. handing her back to Lena and she turned to you, embracing you as Lena watched happily and her daughter cooed.
"I'm so happy for you."
"Thank you Kara, for everything, for getting everyone out alive and making sure my wife made it back for the birth of our baby girl," the two women shared a look, making you laugh. "Oh don't think I didn't notice Lena made it here in five minutes when she should've only made it in 30."
"Oh Love you never miss a thing do you." You all laughed Lena coming in to kiss you.
"So did you pick a name or am I just going to keep calling her nugget?" Kara asked. you all chuckled and you looked at Lena her giving you the okay.
"You can call her nugget all you want," you said handing her back to Kara, "But meet your niece Adira Kara Luthor, it means strong and powerful which is something that I want her to be one day."
"Well I think she has the perfect set of role models for that, don't you nugget." Kara said as the little girl grabbed her finger.
"Oh she definitely does," Lena said wrapping and arm around your waist and leaning down to kiss you.

Having listened to the Graphic Audio full-cast audobook for All Systems Red, it was fun but I have some thoughts about the voice acting and direction. So now I’m just daydreaming about “if I had Billionaire Money I would buy the audio rights to TMBD and direct and produce another full cast audio version with voice actors handpicked and paid lavishly by Me.”
The cast being:
All Systems Red:
Murderbot: Kevin R. Free is the voice of Murderbot to a lot of people. I would think very hard about this but it would be a foundational return to form. However I feel like I want to reach out and find a non-binary VA because it's a niche that's been tragically underrepresented in Murderbot VAs. I joked before about Vico Ortiz playing live-action Murderbot but do they want to try their hand at voice acting?
Mensah: Cecilia Lynn-Jacobs. Voices Captain Lovelace on Wolf 359. Has incredible talent and range and does the Intrepid Galactic Explorer so well.
Pin-Lee: Emily Woo Zeller. An audiobook narrator I've consistently liked.
Ratthi: Stephen Dookie. He plays the part of Polites in Epic: The Musical and he's excellent in a very sweet, upbeat, friendly way.
Gurathin: Sungwon "ProZD" Cho. I'm picturing somewhere in the range of his Miles Edgeworth voice for this.
Arada: Michelle "Vixy" Dockrey. She's a singer not a VA but her voice sounds so nice.
Overse: Tanja Milojevic. Her range is incredible.
Bharadwaj: Rukhmani Desai (Captain Tripathi, The Strange Case of Starship Iris. She has that calm, reasonable, rational, desperately kind character voice she plays well in Starship Iris that I think would go well for Bharadwaj)
Volescu: Zach Valenti. The vibes are right.
Additional voices by Tanja Milojevic and Zach Valenti. Yes all of them.
Artificial Condition:
ART: Janelle Monáe and I mean it
Tapan: ItMe of InCo Podcast
The ComfortUnit: also ItMe because an important part of listening to faer acting is realizing in awe how fae voices so many characters at once and make them all sound distinct.
Tlacey: kinda thinking Ariela Rotenberg. she does smugly confidently evil very well. However we cannot discount casting ItMe for this role also
Additional voices by Tanja Milojevic and Zach Valenti.
Rogue Protocol:
Don Abene: Emma Sherr-Ziarko. She also deserves to be an intrepid space leader again.
Miki: ItMe again in InCo Season 2 Updated SAWA mode
Wilken: me. I want a part. I could totally be a badass evil space assassin
Gerth: does Gerth even have any lines.
Additional voices by Tanja Milojevic and Zach Valenti.
Exit Strategy:
Serrat: Zach Libresco. this casting + Janelle Monáe as ART were what drove me to make this post in the first place.
The Combat SecUnit: Ellen McLain in GLaDOS mode. All 2 lines it has.
Network Effect:
Amena: Ishani Kanetkar (The Strange Case of Starship Iris, The Godshead Incidental, excellent VA for a proud and curious but scared young person)
Iris: Jordan Cobb (Janus Descending, Primordial Deep, excellent VA for a gritted-teeth calm scientist in a strange and dangerous place)
Seth: Avery Brooks (I know it is not the 90s anymore. but. Captain Sisko. I can imagine <3 )
Martyn: Alexander Siddig / Siddig El-Fadil (Dr. Bashir). They're TV actors but! I want them as the Ship Captain Husbands
The rest of ART's crew: other podcast VAs I love who I haven't come up with a role for yet. Kristen DiMercurio, Beth Eyre, James Oliva.
Supervisor Leonide: Claudia Christian (Commander Ivanova on Babylon 5 <333 )
Eletra: Michaela Swee who is very busy working at An Actual Hospital but I have a billion dollars in this dream scenario so I can pay her to take a day and record like 4 lines
Ras: Zach Valenti. This is very important.
Three: Jackie Andrews who plays R. J. McCabe on Starship Iris and Elinor Lopez on The Pasithea Powder has the right Vibes For This
Zach Valenti as the Additional Voice of every goon and target who gets the shit scared out of them and/or dies.
Fugitive Telemetry:
Indah: Molly Olguin maybe. she could Be Indah. Absolutely means we need Jackie Hedeman to have a role in FT too.
Tifany: Michelle Agresti (Wolf 359, Arden)
Aylen: Tracey Sayed (also Arden)
Jollybaby, Tellus, Balin: I would open the floor to the delightful Murderbot fandom. Who wants to voice a Preservation bot
Additional voices by--well you know the drill.

Kinda thinking about writing a story about Severus leaving hogwarts in his last year and giving up on magic and the magical world. His friends Evan, Mulciber, Avery, and Wilkes decided to go along with him since in this story Severus is the only good thing in their life. Of course they give up magic and the magical world too, and dispose of their wands.
Then all 5 of them go on road trips with whatever money Evan, Mulciber, Avery, and Wilkes managed to take from the family vaults and with whatever momey Severus made from doing people's homework and selling potions. And Severus is teaching them how to do muggle shit and they're all just happy together.
There's a lot of info I'm leaving out but chances are I'll make a post about this, but I was listening to music and the idea popped into my head.

Will: Ah, yes. Here we have a beautiful couple...
Wes: I really care about your feelings!
Klaus: I really care about YOUR feelings!
Will, turning their head: ...and then there's the disaster couple...
Severus: YOU NEED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO ME INSTEAD OF BEING AT THE HOSPITAL!
Evan: I WOULDN'T HAVE TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME AT THE HOSPITAL IF YOU STOPPED INSISTING ON FIGHTING EVERYONE WHO COMES WITHIN A FIVE FOOT RADIUS OF YOU!

Wedding day pt.1
Nash stood in front of his floor length mirror as he buttoned his silk, white vest up.
Today was the day. The day he was going to marry the love of his life, Libby Grambs, half-sister of Avery Grambs, the Hawthorne Heiress.
With butterflies in his stomach, he donned on his white suit coat. He wasn't much into suits and wouldn't have minded just wearing a nice pair of jeans and white shirt. But his brother, Grayson-who was also his best man- insisted that he had to wear something different then just jeans. It was his wedding, for goodness sakes!
He had decided, with Grays help, that they would all wear a different colored suits with matching cowboy hats and boots. Even though he didn't know the dress style, he knew that Libby was going to be wearing black. They had talked about it, and Nash liked the idea of her wearing black instead of the traditional white. He would wear that color instead.
Picking up the wide brimmed hat beside him, he was getting ready to head out the door when a knock sounded.
"Come in!"
Grayson Hawthorne entered into the room. Clad in a sleek three-piece black suit, he wore stylish black cowboy boots. A wide brimmed black colored cowboy hat covered his light ash, straight hair. Piercing blue eyes stared out from his chiseled face.
"You ready?" he asked, his low, smooth voice bringing a sense of calm over Nash as he spoke.
"Ready as I will ever be."
Grayson fixed his brother's collar, while brushing off imaginary specks off his shoulders. "Don't worry, you'll be fine." He placed the hat on Nash's head. "Come on cowboy. We have a wedding to attend."
SO, I DECIDED THAT I HAD TO WRITE A SMALL LITTLE STORY ON NASH'S WEDDING. NOT SURE HOW MANY PARTS THERE WILL BE, BUT I HOPE YOU LIKE PT.1

Who do you think are the most OP members of the FlashFam? I think it's difficult, the majority of them has almost the same powers.
Oh easy.
Wally, Bart and Barry.
I think we forget sometimes that the vast majority of the crazy feats of godlike powers we see from speedsters are coming from these three. Wally, Bart and Barry have insane connections to the speedforce and their skill level is unmatched. What these three can do is by no means normal or average. They are op as fuck.
You have to remember that even... let's say Max Mercury is nowhere even remotely near their skill level. And we're talking about Max Mercury. The guy who knows more about the speedforce than anyone else and trained for years to master it. But Max (although he was faster than Bart when Bart was a child) isn't on the same playing field as Wally, Bart and Barry. Max couldn't enter the speedforce without Bart's assistance, Max couldn't leave the speedforce without Barry and Wally's assistance, Max can't time travel to a destination of his own choice, Max can't speed steal or fully pause time, ect ect. Max is one of the most skilled, most knowledgeable, most trained and most respected speedsters of all time. Max is the cream of the crop. You won't find another speedster better than Max. He's a shining example of what's humanely possible for speedsters to achieve.
But Wally, Bart and Barry aren't humanely possible. Those three are insane.
I'm actually going to make a tier list to explain this
ABSOLUTELY FUCKING INSANE:
(AKA actually gods. Can do literally every speedster ability. Faster than literally everything. Beyond op.)
Wally West (now), Bart Allen, Barry Allen
TOP LEVEL OF SPEEDSTER ABILITY:
(AKA the top of the top. Insane skills. Insane knowledge. Insane speed. Likely has a vast amount of speedster abilities other than running. Likely faster than most other speedsters. Op af)
Max Mercury, Jay Garrick, Savitar, Eobard Thawne, Thad Thawne, Irey West (future)
ABOVE AVERAGE:
(AKA one of the following: above average speed, above average connection or above average abilities. Likely has one or two speedster abilities other than running. Slightly op but still beatable)
Irey West (now), August Heart, Edward Clariss, Jess Quick, Alinta (future), Hunter Zoloman (when connected), Lia Nelson, Jai West (future)
AVERAGE:
(AKA average connection, average speed, average abilities. Potentially an additional speedforce ability but no crazy speedforce abilities. Not op.)
Wally West (past), Ace West, Avery Ho, Jesse Chambers, Daniel West, Christina Alexandrova, Jenni Ognats, Jai West (now), John Fox, Red Death, Don Allen, Dawn Allen, Meena Dhawan, Anatole, David Edwards (after), Judy Garrick, Bar Torr, Fastbak, Swoosh, Terri Magnus, Sela Allen, Jonathan Allen, Carrie Allen, Barry West, S'Kidd Flash, Thondor Allen, Jace Allen, Blaire Allen, Nora Allen, Agent Flashling, Danica Williams, Cherub
TRIES REALLY HARD:
(AKA normal connection but below average speed and abilities. Extremely beatable.)
Baroness Blitzkrieg, Johnny Chambers, Bebeck, Cassiopeia, Harold Christos, Inertia 2, Killspeed, Mayfly, Millie Heyday, Runaround Sue, Wind, Pellmell, Poprocket, Velocity, Gabriella Rossetti
OH NO:
(AKA needs outside assistance to access speedforce (suit, drugs, formula), faulty connection, connection is killing them, can only access powers for short periods of time, ect)
Jai West (past), Alinta (now), Owen Mercer, Eliza Harmon, Jerry McGee, Meloni Thawne (*see notes), Gregor Gregorovich, Boleslaw Uminski, Joanie Swift, Mas, Menos, David Edwards (previously), Keigo, Ezra Gill, Henry Cosgei, Jaculi, Jaculi 2, Jimmy Olsen, Xane Swift
So yeah, as you can see by this, although all speedsters with a functioning speedforce connection are technically capable of being op, speedsters rarely actually are op.
We're just really used to op speedsters because we're used to whatever the fuck Wally, Bart and Barry have going on. But they are very much not representative of speedsters as a whole.
Do you guys remember how fast Wally used to be? When he was younger and struggling with his speed and stuff? THAT'S THE GODDAMN AVERAGE. Wally AT HIS SLOWEST was still faster than every single goddamn speedster he came across, including Jay, Johnny, Jesse, the Blue Trinity, the Red Trinity, ect. HE JUST WASN'T FASTER THAN BARRY OR EOBARD SO HE THOUGHT HE WAS THE WORST. Because Wally is fucking insane. He's an insane human being. Anyway, Wally at his slowest is the typical representation of an average speedster. That's how they typically are.
#dc#dc comics#speedsters#speedforce#flash fam#ranking#k to explain some things. first none of the names are ranked by order. so I'm not ranking them 1 Wally 2 Bart ect#they're only ranked by category. not ranked within the categories#Irey isn't in the insane category because she's actually not supposed to be faster than Wally. she's just more skilled than him#so shes good (like really good) but she doesn't surpass her fathers speed. so im putting her in top until proven otherwise#lia is in above average despite not having super speed because the stuff she has going on is INSANE#the same thing applies to Jai#Meloni is in oh no because she is technically a speedster?? she's just never used her powers in a comic? but she's listed in universe as#being a speedster and Owen inherited his speed from her. so. idk. my only conclusion is that she doesn't know how to use her speed#or she doesn't use it to spite her father.#mas y menos are in oh no because they need to hold hands to access their powers#oh and Hunter's ranking is soley off of his speedforce connection. not his time powers. Hunter's time powers are insane#i tried to stay main universe but i couldn't resist putting in some alt universe speedsters#oh and Eobard and Thad aren't in the god level because Eobard has been reset meaning that he isn't really timeless like Wally and Bart are#and hes not literally the speedforce like Barry is (no matter how hard he tries)#and Thad isn't there because... well he was a good match for Bart when Bart was really little. but i don't really think Thad is any more#like... even remotely. Bart has surpassed Thad by a lot.#Bart was literally the speedforce at one point. hes insane#also Hunter WAS a god? but for unrelated reasons (his time powers) but getting connected to the speedforce nerfed him

Diaboli 's angelus
Chapter 1
Length: 3.2k words
Content: fem!reader, nsfw warning (soon)
Authors note: Heeey, I´m back with my first ever series. I love royal au but have never read one with a black princess so I thought why not making one. Hope yall like it and hope you will give me feedback on how to improve my writing. Thank yoou!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Your highness, your highness the King and his council are waiting for you”. You groan as you wake up to your maid´s soft voice. “It´s quite early, don´t you think Avery? What does my brother want now?” “But your highness it is midday”. You chuckle “fair enough, what is the meeting about?” you say smiling. “I´m not that sure, I guess there is only one way to find out your highness”, she says, tickling you out of bed. Avery has raised you like you were her own daughter, since your own mother tragically passed away from an incurable illness, when you were just four years old.  
  “I knooow” you say slamming your head on your soft pillow letting out an umph. “I do not understand why you are always so tired before midday?” While you are faced with the pillow on your face a smile creeps out. You tend to sneak out of the castle after dinner to talk to the village people. Johan, your knight tends to help you sneak out through the ports but is always glued by your side as a compromise of letting you out. You wish to know how the palace and your brother can help making their everyday lives easier. It is your kingdom after all and you want to contribute with what you can, to make it blossom. Your brother always takes your suggestions into consideration; however, you always have to lie about how you got that information.  Your kindness towards your people gave you the nickname “et angelicus princeps”. The nickname makes you always embarrassed since you aren't doing this for the title or the honor but rather out of pure heart. The council however loved the concept as it was a reassurance that the people were happy with the rulers.
“Insomnia I guess” you say rolling onto your back. Avery rolls her eyes and grabs your arm and pulls you to the bathroom. “We must cut the ends of your hair, your highness. It's a bit damaged.” You looked at your curls from the mirror, however you did not notice any difference. “Sure, we can do it before braiding it again.” Avery nods before pouring water over your head. After drying yourself, did you both agree upon dressing casually with a white dress with blonde flower patterns covering you modestly. You look at yourself in the mirror as Avery touches upon your makeup and puts a flower on your natural hair that matches your dress. “You grow more beautiful everyday, your highness.” Avery says stroking your shoulders, “T-thank you” you say feeling heat creep to your cheeks. You grab Avery´s hand as you both walk out of your bedroom. As you were walking you couldn't help but to notice the maids' sad smiles towards you. “Why are they sad, are your brother and your sister-in-law well?” You thought to yourself as you ended up walking faster dragging Avery with you. Your heart rate felt like a million per second. You both stop in front of the large door and Avery gives your hand a squeeze as she notices how tense you were. You turn your head towards her and see her beautiful reassuring smile which gives you courage.
     The guards bow before opening the door as you enter, you turn around and look at Avery before the door closes. Your legs feel like spaghetti, and your heart is in your throat. You have not been in the meeting room since the day they announced your father´s death. In front of you are the council members sitting horizontal to the table while your brother is sitting on the largest chair at the end of the table. “Y/n have a seat” your brother says smiling, that smile made you able to breathe normally again. You walked confidently to the other end of the long table facing your brother. A servant pulls the back of the chair to allow you to seat yourself. You give him a small thank you when he pushes the chair up to the table.
  The first one to speak was a senior member of the council called Wilfred. “Your highness thank you for attending this meeting, as I assume that you probably have other duties today.” You wanted to smile, since you pretty much planned on roaming around your private library today and read the chosen book under the tree. If not, probably bother Johan with something. “Don´t worry about it, I did not have anything else planned today, so I am all yours” you smile. “Excellent, do you see the map on the table your highness?” You nod while looking at the large map of the different Kingdoms of the world. The ones circled with green are allied kingdoms such as Hizuru, Okosian and Pumore. The white circled kingdoms are nations we have a neutral relationship with and lastly, we have the Eldian Kingdom that is circled in red. Your kingdom and the Eldian kingdom used to have a great relationship until the tragic passing of their previous king, King Grisha II. You didn't know much about the political situation of Eldia, however you know that your brother has little contact with the Eldians. “Your highness, you probably know how kingdoms build diplomatic relations?” “Ehm yes, with trading?” you answer naively. “and?” You had to think for a second “I don´t know…maybe marriage?” “Bingo, we want you to attend the 104th annual royal ball to find you a potential spouse” your brother responds.
You stare at your brother without being able to make out one single word. It felt like your throat had been sawn in while it was on fire. Your eyes could not blink, and you felt the dryness of the air itching your eyes. “A-a spouse?” you managed to press out. You look down as the dryness of your eyes was replaced with tears creeping up, your brother with some of the council members looked at you with sad eyes, while the others looked down.  “You are 18 years old, and we need this to better our diplomatic relations with other kingdoms. Our military is at its weakest and if someone were to attack, we would be in need of assistance from other kingdoms.” Looking up at your brother again, wiping your tears away with the sleeve of your dress. “I understand, but however could we not rely on our already allied nations for military assistance?” you say almost whisper. “Y/n, with the Eldian kingdom becoming the hegemon, the political climate is quite unbalanced at this very moment. We are unsure if we can still rely on our allies, with the current growing fear of the Eldian kingdom. The safety of the kingdom relies on you being able to marry a King or heir of the throne from a neighboring nation. You becoming the Queen of that kingdom will guarantee that.” You sigh in defeat “I see, when is the ball?” “In three days' ' responds council member Filip short. Your eyes widened, you had three days on you to get ready physically and mentally to find a potential husband. “I hope you understand that this is for the best of our Kingdom, Y/n?” You brother says, sounding concerned. “I do” you respond while looking down at your shaking arms and legs. “In that case, the meeting is over.” You curtsy to your brother before leaving and he responds with a simple nod. You hurry out of the room, in a desperate need of air “You highness how did...” you couldn´t hear Avery´s concerned voice as you were rushing to the garden.
Your heart was speeding, and you felt like you were sweating from everywhere. As you were almost near the exit the world started to spin, and you could no longer breathe. The energy your body once had starts to pour out like water in a waterfall, you lose balance but you land on a surface. “Wow there, all tired already? It's not even evening” grins Johan as he gives you a piggy ride and  sits you down on the bench next to the marble fountain. “Oh, Johan I- ''you can't express anything else before crying on his shoulder. All the stress you felt earlier just came out in the form of tears, whenever you tried to form a word hulking was the only thing your body was able to let out. After what felt like ages, the sadness vanished and was replaced with numbness. “Care to explain who I'm fighting?” You giggle, Johan always somehow managed to light up your mood. “I see, you are getting married to a random King or potential King, ''Johan says, staring up in the sky. “Poor man, how can he manage a woman like you? I feel worse for your potential husband.” You tilt your head to the side before hitting Johan playfully on the shoulder “hey!” you laugh. “On a serious note, you should not be too upset. Try to be hopeful, your future husband might be a nice and honorable man.” Johan says grinning, he is quite handsome and most of the maids working in the palace are charmed by his famous smile. Johan and you grew up together as he is Avery´s son and he always considered you a friend before your title. “You have a point there, I wonder who he is going to be and what he is doing right now?”
   Eren is lying on his stomach, Mikasa´s hand is  on his bare back while her thumb is stroking his back. Mikasa leans in for a kiss, however Eren shoves his head further from her. “I think I´ll have to go, the other maids might need my help.” Eren simply nods and stands up and hands over her dress. Mikasa is not hurt by Eren´s rejection, the rule they set is that she is allowed to kiss him everywhere but on the lips. “Eren is just not the affectionate type, but it does not change what we have” Mikasa thinks for herself as she sits on the bed watching Eren fixing his shirt. She then stands up, kisses his cheeks before curtsying Eren and exiting the room. A couple of steps outside his master bedroom she bumps into Armin. Armin looks at Mikasa with pity eyes and she responds with “Don´t say a single word, Armin” in a low but threatening manner. The blonde just breathes deeply and walks past her. Armin hates seeing his childhood friend obsessed with a man that is obviously using her for comfort, ignorant of the love the young Ackerman girl has for him. “Eren, it's me” Armin says while knocking, “Come in Armin, what is it?” The blonde enters his master bedroom “You need to stop sleeping with Mikasa” Eren looks confused at him “Why? We are both just enjoying each other's company.” Armin breathes deeper as he knows arguing against the king would be a lost cause. “The council wants a word with you Eren” The young King looks even more confused “About what?” Armin looks down while peeling the skin on the side of his nails as he nervously says “T-to find you a potential wife.” Before Armin could look up, his childhood friend went out the door. “Eren!” Armin runs after him as they both enter the meeting room.  “Eren! Wai-“, the blonde advisor freezes as he looks up at the other four fellow council members sitting around the gold table.
      When Eren became king he reformed the council and appointed Levi, Erwin, Pixi, Nile and himself as his councilmen. However, he gave Armin the position as his personal advisor since they have known each other since childhood and Eren trusted him more than anyone. Levi let out a “tch” at Eren´s behavior, the head of the Ackerman clan was fully aware of Eren´s tantrums and could bet his hand on Eren´s reaction to the proposal from the council. Yet, he does not blame him, Eren might have been king for the past three years but he is still young, the currently the youngest ruler in the world and in the history of Eldia. “What am I hearing? You want me to find a wife?!” The young king shouts. Erwin sighs “Your majesty, have a seat first.” Eren walks up to the table and sits down at his seat “I am all seated” he says annoyed leaning his head on his knuckles. Armin also takes the seat next to his green-eyed friend, and can´t help but to feel a bit nervous, he can´t stop thinking about how Mikasa would take this. “As you are fully aware, we have discussed the topic of finding the kingdom a potential Queen. We want  you to attend the 104th annual royal ball and connect with a princess you wish to marry.” Eren looks at all of them in disgust. “Why should I give up my freedom and be caged by a woman?” Nile is the one to answer “your majesty, with all the respect you are 19 of age and should find a Queen to rule by your side. More importantly, this is going to help us build better diplomatic relations with other kingdoms. At this very moment as Eldia is blossoming,  is also fear growing around the world.  The kingdom of our future Queen might help us get better dialogues with other nations.” Eren looked bored at the commander of the Military Police. “If a Kingdom threatens Eldia, we just do what we always do, we´ll take it to the battlefield.” Pixi wakes up from his drunken state, “your highness the Kingdom cannot afford to send more soldiers to battle whenever Eldia feels threatened by a nation.” Eren looks at him with confusion “We can, we can afford it.” He says, crossing his arms. Levi slams his hand on the table “You know as well as me the horrors of war and as we stand today can we not afford losing more soldiers, accept this proposal as it is the best option for the Kingdom.” The Survey Corps captain and the King were staring coldly in each other’s eyes.
      Armin lets out a little cough to ease the tension “Eren, you are not the one that is losing your freedom. Your wife is as she has to submit to you and the rules of the Kingdom. In fact she might have never had freedom to begin with, she has to submit to her father, brother, husband and at the very end her son. You have way more freedom that they'll ever have.” Eren looks down in shame as we never thought about the fact that princesses are basically birds in cages. “In addition to that, Eren, you need an heir. The Kingdom needs reassurance that there is a King that will take over if ehm…something might happen to you.” Armin almost whispers the last part.  Eren´s eyes widens, Armin is right he indeed needs an heir. The thought never crossed his mind as he was busy with expanding Eldia and eliminating threats to the Kingdom. The green-eyed man groans in defeat “Okay, I'll do it. When is it?” while shaking his head. “In three days” says Nile short. Eren whips his head to Armin which basically screams “You knew for how long? And did you not tell me earlier?” Armin gives his friend a nervous smile before putting one hand on Eren´s shoulder. “I would never let you attend unprepared, I spent some time talking to our diplomats and have gathered information about the potential princesses that might attend. I will go with you as your advisor and supporter.” Eren feels some of the tension leave his body “what would I have done without you Armin” he says smiling. “Probably run this Kingdom down in hell” Levi responds. “Well, that’s true,” Eren chuckles.
Three days passed by too quickly and you were standing on a small pedestal while getting ready for the ball. Avery is touching up on your butterfly locs she braided two days ago. Your makeup is getting done by Charlotte, she is giving you a natural look that enhances your beauty. Lastly, we have Christine sewing in a white flower in your white choker. The ladies were surprisingly quiet and concentrated on their different tasks, which left you unfortunately alone in your own thoughts. You keep breathing out of your mouth to calm your rapid beating heart. This is your first ball and you couldn't help but to stress your life out. What if you fail and the Kingdom is doomed? Most Kings and Princes would probably want cute blonde princesses, would they even be interested in someone like you? “And we are done!” Avery says proudly, interrupting your thoughts. Christine wrapped the choker around your throat from behind you. Avery turns you around and you see yourself at the reflection and you are speechless. The dress you wear is baby pink with white flower patterns, it had gold broderie that went from each of your shoulders and down to the end of the dress. It also has a large golden waistband that hung loosely from your waist and was braided into one part in the middle that hung down on your dress. Avery has put golden butterflies on your locs that matched the gold.
      The thoughts you had vanished the second you laid your eyes on yourself. You felt both feminine and strong and it blossomed a broad smile on your face. “You look beautiful, your highness” says Avery with a choking, you turn around and see her tear up. “How pathetic you aren't married yet and here I am crying like I´ll never see you again” the woman laughs, drying her tears. You are on your way to embrace her in a hug before you hear a knock. Christine runs to the door and opens it.  “Y/n the carriage is ready for you” you hear Johan say. “Boy, what have I told you about referring to her highness by her first name!” you could tell that Avery was two seconds from giving him a beating. “That she is our princess and I need to show her more respect”, “exactly” Avery says smacking him in the back of the head. You could not help but to laugh “It's okay Avery, Johan does not have to call me by my title.” Johan smirks as a response, but poor Avery is in distress “b-but your highness.” Johan claps his hand before bowing “after you, your highness”, you couldn't help but to laugh and cringe as it was very out of character of him. “Take care of her Johan!” Avery shouts after you two. “Of course mother, it's my job after all” he answers playfully. One of the guards opens the carriage door and you lift your dress to seat yourself inside. Johan jumps on the seat next to the coachman and gives the older man a nod to start. As you were riding out of the palace, couldn't you look back and see everyone waving and you lift your eyes up a bit and see your brother looking at you ride out. You take a deep breath as make yourself comfortable in the carriage as it is going to be a long ride.
