Wanda Maximoff x Fem!Reader
Word count: 7.5k
Summary: This is a request I got and started to write on the 6th of June 2023 (yes, I know, this took me a while). I can't even find it in my asks anymore, but I have the author's decription copied, and it should be enough, so here it is:
"I'm thinking manipulative wanda being overly obsessed with reader to the point where she always calls you earlier than she has to leave for work so she can spend more time with you. She'll run her hands on your arms and sometimes rest her palm on your thigh while asking you difficult questions just to see you squirm beneath her presence. R on the other hand will feel very shy and intimidated by her. But there's also this attraction she kept pushing down because she has to be professional and is extremely scared that wanda will know about it and stop letting R babysit anymore, which also leads to her not seeing the middle aged woman again. But of course, being wanda, she knows exactly what R was feeling. By the way R squeezes her thighs, blush, and stutter, it doesn't have to take a mind reader to know. But one thing R didn't know about wanda is she can be impatient. She's wanted you for a long time, watched the way you'd wet yourself in front of her. Time will come where she would want a taste, where she'd take whatever is hers. After all, she's earned it for making R feel that way, right? So take she does and claim she will. And what a sweet, sweet R as reward could be..."
Warning: NSFW, 18+, lesbian relationship, oral, fingering, finger sucking, strap-on sex, R has a bit of an oral fixation, tribbing, overstimulation, Wanda being pervy, top!Wanda, Bottom!Reader
Masterlist with all my works.
Wanda loved watching you through your windows. She did it more often than she should, more often than it was appropriate for a woman like her, but she didn’t care. She hardly cared if neighbours saw her sneaking glances, or peaked through the windows whenever you were visible. As long as you didn’t know of her secret activities, everything else was inconsequential.
She adored to see you read your books, looking effortlessly beautiful on your recliner, waves of your hair falling around your face. She loved to see you retrieving your mail, or do some small things around the yard, dressed casually. She never missed the days when you went out, loving to see you all dolled up. On those occasions she liked to watch you and imagine that you did it all for her. That you’d put on your outfit to impress her, the make-up flawless, because you wanted to look nice for her. Not that she ever thought you needed all that. You were already perfect. But it made pride bloom in her chest to imagine, even for a bit, that you made the effort just for her.
Those were, of course, perfectly normal occasions, when she could see you. Then again, Wanda could never be satisfied with just that. She needed all of you, she craved you, she fantasized about you… She was obsessed. She felt a hunger so profound that she had to resort to more devious ways of seeing you.
Of course, inserting herself into your life wasn’t hard. She found a casual moment to meet you, introducing herself with a charming smile, then she invited you over to her house, just for coffee, finding ways to bond through mutual interests, she made sure to introduce you to her kids, her eyes sparkling at how quickly they grew to like you… It was easy, honestly. Before you knew it, she’d asked you for a favour, watching the boys for a couple of hours. A favour that grew into more of a non-committed babysitting arrangement.
That’s how Wanda learned about your schedule, about your job, how she soon got invited to your house. The two of you acted more like friends, than anything else and Wanda couldn’t be happier about it. Especially because, now that you had your guard down, she could easily get access to more personal information.
She’d ask you to join her at her house earlier than your scheduled babysitting appointment and she’d sit across from you, listening to you talk about your day. It almost became the norm. She’d sometimes ask you personal questions, but friends did that. So you had no problem to share that you’re single, that you liked women, a confession that brought a blush to your cheeks, feeling uncertain to mention something like that to the older woman, but she took it with a smile, which calmed your nerves.
In truth, Wanda almost jumped out of her skin with joy, knowing that little piece of information. That night, when she settled next to her window, eyes fixated on your bedroom, she watched with even more interest than before, since now she could picture what you fantasized about, while you lay in bed, touching yourself.
Yes, this was, perhaps, Wanda’s favorite part of her daily routine. She’d watch you from the shadows as you undressed, your curtains naively left open. Wanda couldn’t fathom, at first, why you left them so, considering anyone could spy on you, but she wasn’t going to complain, when she was the one hungrily watching.
You had such a beautiful body. She had admired that from day one. And when she found out how you liked to take care of yourself, she was hooked. She saw you splayed out on your bed, legs spread open, while your fingers moved inside you. You were such a pretty sight. Your back arched, your hair scattered across the pillow, your free hand teasing your nipples… How was she supposed to resist all that?
No, there was no way she could resist you, so she did what she had to, to make sure she could keep you close. And she quickly moved on from casual meetings and friendly outings to inviting you over for a day around the pool, sneaking countless pictures of you, while you were sunbathing, her fingers twitching every time she lathered sunscreen on you. She invited you for dinners, she left little treats for you, whenever you babysat for her, just so she could show you she cared. She gave you little back massages on the days you felt exhausted, she checked in on you, to make sure you’re ok. All that, and you still had no clue she wanted you!
Not to mention how often she tried to flirt, sitting next to you while you had coffee together, her thigh touching yours, while she talked, or her hands running over your arms, while she complimented you, her soft words of praise… God, she tried so hard, but you were so shy! She could see the blush on your cheeks, when she was close, she could tell she affected you, but not once did you respond. A fact, she found extremely frustrating. It made her resort to not only having to watch you through your windows, but also taking care of the burning need between her legs all by herself.
Now that just wouldn’t do. It was clear to Wanda that you were meant to be hers and after another night of hiding while she watched you touch yourself, her own hand mirroring your movements, she’d had enough. She wanted to know what you felt like, wanted to taste your lips, your skin, she wanted to breathe you in, wanted to have you under her fingertips, writhing. She wanted everything. And perhaps through some kind of miracle, fate seemed to smile upon her just a few days later.
She was asked to attend a conference out of town, and of course, she couldn’t think of a better person to entrust her children to, but you. She made sure that you’ll have everything you need, inviting you into her home with a wide smile and she gave you a copy of her schedule in case you needed anything, before she left, climbing into her car and waving at the three of you as she drove away.
She couldn’t help but smile at the notion, of all three of you, huddled together to see her off. It was the perfect picture of the family she hoped to one day have and she knew that she wouldn’t have it with anyone but you. You were perfect, smiling softly, as your eyes followed her movements, your arms wrapped around her boys. You looked so pretty and domestic, so delicate… God, how she longed this would be her reality.
Wanda couldn’t stop thinking of it all the way to her conference, the long hours of driving passing with her mind picturing countless scenarios, countless precious moments that you could share. It was so hard to shake off the thought that this wasn’t in fact real and that, despite her longing, you weren’t actually hers, that she had to sit in her car for a few minutes, grounding herself in the present, before she could join her colleagues.  
The hours moved slowly, fraying her nerves, making her check her watch desperately the later it got. She could see the light of the day fading, fluorescent lights flickering to life in the building, as her colleagues droned on and on. It was getting clear that she wouldn’t be home on time and she used a quick break to give you a call.
“Hi, Wanda.” You greeted with a smile. “How’s the conference going?” You asked.
“Hi, darling.” She replied on instinct, the sound of your voice bringing a smile to her lips, despite her exhaustion, before she paused, having to remind herself that you’re not hers. “The conference is taking a little longer.” Wanda cleared her throat. “I’m not sure how long I’ll be.” She confessed. “Would you mind staying a bit longer?” She asked, her voice apologetic.
“Of course, I’ll stay.” You replied with a smile. “We’ll order pizza for dinner, we’ll play some games, maybe watch a movie. You don’t have to worry about us.” You said in a calming tone, bringing instant relief to Wanda’s overworked mind.
“Thank you, Y/N! You’re a life-saver.” Wanda said with a sigh. “If it gets too late, just settle in my bedroom.” She continued. “Just make yourself at home. I’ll do my best to be back as soon as I can.” She assured you, fingers picking at her phone’s case nervously.
“Don’t worry about us, Wanda.” She heard you say on the other end, calming, soft, almost making Wanda forget her reality again. “And drive safely. We’ll be just fine here.” You reassured her again, making the older woman sigh, as if a weight was just lifted.
Despite the shortness of the conversation, it was enough for her to feel more at ease. Enough to get her through the conference and as soon as she was able, she was back in her car and on her way to the three of you.
It was late, the roads dark and abandoned. She had to stop at a gas station to buy herself a cup of coffee, just so she could keep herself alert, her hope of making it home on time completely forgotten. She knew it would be way past the boys’ bedtime, but she hoped to at least see you.
When she reached her house, it was a little after midnight and the darkened rooms told her that all three of you were asleep, making her walk silently through the rooms, to make sure she wouldn’t wake you.
She checked on the boys first, cracking open their door, to see their sweet faces buried in their pillows, blissfully sleeping in their beds, each one tucked in with his favorite toy, making her heart swell with love. She was tempted to go in and kiss their little foreheads, but she didn’t want to disturb them, so she closed the door instead, walking further down the hall to her own bedroom.
She opened the door softly, peering in to find you tucked in. You had pulled down one of her pillows, cuddling it close to your chest, a leg swung over it. She knew it’s how you usually slept, she’d seen it enough times through her windows, yet emotions started to swirl within her at the sight. She wanted to replace the damned thing with her own body, to feel you against her, to be surrounded by your warmth, she wanted to feel your soft breaths as you slept, wanted to run her hands over your body. She thought of how much of your scent will be on her pillow tomorrow, thought about burying her face in it, while she touched herself, so she could imagine that she’s with you. Just the thought had her hands twitching.
Wanda hadn’t realized how dangerous it was, having you here, in her house, in her bed, vulnerable and asleep. Not really. Not until you were here and her imagination had started to run wild. Would you feel her if she climbed in with you? Would she be able to stop herself, if she allows herself this one small indulgence? Would you stir, if she wrapped her arms around you? Would you know, if she buried her face in your neck, while she ground herself against the swell of your ass?
Before she could take her fantasies any further, she saw you stir, her eyes widening in shock, as if caught doing something wrong, before she reminded herself that you couldn’t possibly know what she had just fantasized about.
“Go back to sleep, sweet girl.” Wanda whispered softly, clearing her throat when her voice came out raspy. “I’ll just grab some sheets for the couch.” She explained, as if she needed to give you a reason for being so close to your sleeping form. As if she got caught doing something terribly inappropriate.
It took you a moment to process her words, your mind hazy and tired, your voice rough, when you finally spoke.
“You can stay here.” You said, pulling away the covers. You wanted to say that she shouldn’t be forced to sleep on the couch, in her own house, but your mind couldn’t quite formulate the right words, so this sentence just had to do.
Wanda knew she shouldn’t. Knew it was a dangerous thing, letting someone like her be so close to you. She knew the temptation would be too great, that she wouldn’t be able to resist her urges, yet she couldn’t force herself to say no. She wanted this. No, she needed this. She wanted to spend tonight, pretending that you’re hers.
What Wanda didn’t know was that, despite your obliviousness to her secret activities, you were putting on your nightly shows just for her. Or, with her on your mind. Wanda was just so beautiful, so kind, so caring and sweet, that she had you from the very first day you met her. And the way she treated you certainly didn’t help. Her hands always found ways to touch you, compliments and praises spilling from her lips, as her eyes glided over your body. It was driving you crazy. She always left you little treats, wrote sweet notes for you to find, gave the best hugs. Not to mention you’d left her house with soaked panties so often, it was a miracle you hadn’t stained her couch yet. But you never dared tell her such a thing. You never wanted to fall from her good graces and lose her friendship, too scared that should you admit how desperately in love you’d fallen, you’d never see her, or the boys again. Yet tonight, fate her tested both of you and you were both too weak to resist.
Without much protest, Wanda pulled out a tank top and a fresh pair of panties from her drawers and she took the fastest shower of her life, before she changed quickly, so she could settle into bed next to you. You’d given up your cuddly pillow and it seemed you were once again sleeping peacefully and Wanda had to bite back a smirk, when you backed into her, your ass pressing into her.
It was almost too easy, Wanda thought to herself, as she put her arm around you. You were so warm, so soft, so exposed… She could feel that you had nothing but a t-shirt and a pair of panties on. This was the only barrier that stood between her and what she wanted. Some measly scraps of clothes. But Wanda took it slow, she nuzzled her face in your neck, breathing you in. She wasn’t sure if she was secretly taking her time, so you’d be properly asleep, so there’d be no witnesses to her depravity, so you’d never know how deep her perversions went, or how terribly she craved you. Another part of her wanted you wide awake, so tomorrow you wouldn’t be able to deny how good she made you feel. She wanted you to remember all the things she’d do to you.
In the end it was you, who made the first move. Your body betraying you, while you slept. Little moans and whimpers escaping your lips. At first she thought you might be having a bad dream, a nightmare, but soon she heard a word. Her ears strained to make it out, her arm tightening around you protectively, as if it would do any good, until she finally understood. It wasn’t a word. It was a name. Wanda. You were mewling her name like a little kitten, thighs squeezing together, trying to rut against nothing, seeking friction.
It was the last straw, really. The last bit of restraint she had, simply snapped like a twig and Wanda’s arm tightened even more, her hold so firm, you could hardly move, as she started to leave little kisses on your neck, whispering out your name, so she could bring you out of your dream and into reality.
She felt you wake up slowly, almost heard the gears in your head spin as you realized where you are and remembered Wanda coming home, remembered inviting her into your bed… Well… Her bed, really. Then you remembered what you’d just dreamt about, now more of an idea, an echo, of something distant, yet so powerful it made your cheeks heat up.
“I’m sorry I woke you.” You said, voice rough, body rigid, as if afraid that if you move, Wanda would be able to see every dirty fantasy that you’d just dreamt up.
“You don’t need to apologize.” Wanda said. Her voice was like liquid gold, smooth and seductive. “I can take care of you.” She continued, longing filling up her words. “Would you let me do that, sweet girl?” She asked, still holding you, still firmly pressed into you. “Would you let me help you feel good?”
“Wanda...” You gasped, utterly stunned. It was too much to process, and your mind was so hazy. Were you dreaming this up too? Would you wake up tomorrow, alone in Wanda’s bed and curse yourself for believing, or even hoping she would want you the same way you wanted her?   
“Yes, sweetheart, it’s me.” The older woman reassured you. “You were dreaming.” She explains, patient. “You were having quite the dream about me.” She continues, speaking as if she’d seen right into your head and knew exactly what you’d dreamt about. “I must have been very good, if I made you chant my name.” She says bluntly, smirking at the way your heart quickened at her words. “Can I confess something, Y/N?” She suddenly ask, making you wait for her next words with bated breath. “Even though you were dreaming of me, even when you were saying my name, I still couldn’t help but feel a little jealous. Some imaginary Wanda was having something I want all to myself.” She told you, words whispered into the night air like a secret. “I want you all to myself.”
For a second there, you thought your heart had stopped beating. You could hardly believe it. But Wanda’s grip loosened a bit, allowing you to turn on your back, your eyes meeting, and you knew that this wasn’t another one of your dreams. This was real.
“Would you let me help you feel good, darling?” Wanda asked again, hips straddling your waist. She looked so beautiful, her blonde hair falling around her face, her green eyes, now darkened pools that never looked away, her lips parted, as if waiting to devour you. “Would you let me make you mine?”
“Please.” You almost whined. You were desperate, hands reaching up, caressing her cheek for a moment, before you were pulling her down.
Wanda’s response was instantaneous. As soon as she had your consent, she leaned down, those same, soft, pink lips you had just stared at, now claiming yours in a kiss.
She kissed you over and over again, hungry, like a barely-contained animal that was fighting to break free. She had her hands all over your body, desperate to feel as much of you as she could, caressing and stroking, eager to feel your naked skin, instead of the t-shirt you were wearing.
She broke the kiss just long enough to take the offensive item off, discarding it on the floor, without paying it much thought, before she was kissing you again, tongue invading your mouth and exploring eagerly.
Wanda was practically salivating. It wasn’t just the fact that all her fantasies were coming true. It was also how adorably submissive you were being, how eager you were for everything she gave you… It was that spark in your eyes. You weren’t putting on a show for her. You genuinely wanted her. Craved her. You were just as in love with her as she was with you. She just knew it.
Not wanting to lose anymore time, she sneaked a hand between your bodies, fingers caressing your pussy over the damp material of your panties. She was instantly rewarded with a moan, your hips canting up to meet her, desperate to feel more of the pleasure she was promising.
“Be a good girl and stay still, darling.” Wanda whispered against your lips, voice starting to vibrate with all the emotions that swirled inside her. “Unless you want me to stop?” She suggested, raising a single eyebrow at you.
“No, please don’t stop.” You mewled, shaking your head, hands clinging to her shoulders.
“Legs open.” Wanda commanded, pulling your thighs apart. She didn’t want you squeezing your legs and getting any pleasure that didn’t come from her. She’d seen you do that enough times and now that she was finally taking you for herself, she never wanted to see it again.
She took her time kissing you, fingers drawing patterns against your things for a bit, testing your will to follow her instructions, and when she saw that you’d behaved yourself, she started again. Stroking your clit through your panties, drawing slow, teasing circles over it. It was driving you crazy and you needed so much more, so it wasn’t a surprise when you finally broke down and begged.
“Wanda, please. Please, touch me.” You asked, your big eyes looking up at her pleadingly, your legs spreading even wider in a silent invitation.
“That’s my good girl.” Wanda praised, kissing you deeply, while she pulled your panties to the side. “That’s what I want you to do from now. Every time you want to feel good, I want you to come to me. I’ll take such good care of you.” She promised, voice seductive and low.
You nodded, swallowing thickly at the intensity in her eyes. You could tell she meant every word. But you weren’t given much time to think of what that could mean, her fingers gliding over your entrance, gathering the wetness accumulated there and dragging it up to your clit. She circled it gently, careful not to overwhelm you, building you up steadily.
Unable to resist much longer, her head lowered, taking a nipple into her mouth and circling it with her tongue while she stimulated you, feeling you squirm under her, your back arching into her touch and demanding more. You were a greedy little thing. Wanda liked that.
Between the way she sucked on your nipples and rubbed your clit, it didn’t take you long, before you felt yourself reaching the edge. You’d dreamt of being with her for so long, you’d pictured what it would be like so many times, you’d touched yourself to such thoughts more than you’d like to admit and now that it was finally a reality, you could hardly contain yourself. You held on to Wanda’s shoulders and hair, pulling her closer and moaning out her name, just as you had in the dream, desperate for a release.
“Are you going to come for me, baby?” Wanda detached herself from your perfect breasts just long enough to ask.
“Yes, I’m so close!” You gasped, wishing she would move her fingers just a bit faster. “Please!” You murmured on an exhale.
Wanda smirked then, starting a quick descent down your body, her slick fingers pushing inside you and filling you up perfectly. God, she loved the feeling of your walls squeezing her, fluttering around her frantically, like the wings of a butterfly.
“You feel so good.” Wanda almost growled, her fingers moving in and out of you suddenly. She couldn’t contain her excitement and quite frankly, she didn’t want to, either. “This is my pussy now.” She said with determination, refusing to give up this feeling. “No one else is allowed to touch you, you hear me?” She demanded, fingers speeding up, becoming almost rough. “Say it, baby. Say you’re mine and I’ll make you come so hard.” Wanda coaxed, her smile growing wider the more you fisted at the sheets and moaned for her.
“I’m yours, Wanda! Please, please, make me come.” You pleaded softly, your eyes rolling to the back of your head when she hit a particularly good spot.
Wanda’s body moved even lower, her head between your legs. She breathed in your scent shamelessly, making you try to hide your face from her in embracement, but she was intoxicated. You smelled so damn good. She could see her fingers disappear inside you, your wetness coating them, making her feel proud that she could turn you into such a mess.
“Don’t hide from me, baby.” She reprimanded, when she saw the way you covered your face. “Watch me.” She whispered, as if it was an invitation.
When you finally looked down, meeting her gaze, she lowered her head, tongue sticking out so she could taste you. Her lips wrapped around your clit, her soft, wet mouth enveloping you and making you almost scream at how good it felt. You couldn’t hold yourself back anymore. You were on the edge and with a few delicious strokes, Wanda pushed you over it.
A tidal wave of pleasure washed over you, and you bit your lip in an attempt not to scream. It felt so good being full of her, being stroked by her tongue. It was better than what your fingers could offer, better than any other lover you’d had. And she kept moving in that same rhythm, milking every last bit of pleasure you could offer, until you were spent.
Wanda could tell you were done, but she wasn’t even close to being done with you. She had barely gotten a taste of you and her tongue continued to lap at your clit in eager strokes.
“Shhh, it’s ok, sweetheart, you’re ok. Let me clean you up.” She spoke softly, soothing you and quieting down your whines of protest.
She removed her fingers, but soon enough her tongue replaced them at your opening. She lapped at you gently, doing everything in her power to contain her hunger for you, but her hands held you down firmly, ready to stop any attempt for you to get away. She would bruise you if she held on any harder than that, you both knew it, but neither of you cared. You would wear her marks proudly. Just as you would take the overstimulation, if it meant she would keep touching you.
“You taste so good.” Wanda groaned, detaching herself just long enough to speak the words, before returning with renewed hunger.
You moaned when her tongue returned back to your clit and you had to force yourself to stay still, to take everything she wanted to give you. That’s what good girls do. Good girls take what’s given to them. And it wasn’t hard. The craving within you returned, growing harder to ignore with each stroke of her tongue. God, she was so damn good with her mouth.
“So good.” You sighed, when she lapped over a particularly good spot.
You could feel her smile as she looked up at you, repeating the motion over and over again, feeling your body relax under her fingers, now eager for her ministrations.
“Such a good girl.” Wanda praised, instantly spotting the way the blood rose up to your cheeks. She had a feeling you’d like it.
Her mouth returned back to your clit, feeling it twitch under her tongue in desperation. She wondered if you were always like this. Always so wet and needy. If you had been this way while she flirted with you, while she talked to you and complimented you, when her hands lingered… She wondered how you held out so long, without begging her to fuck you. But it didn’t matter. She had you now. And she could tell you were getting close again, your fingers had found their way in her hair and you were greedily pulling her closer, back arching with pleasure, your moans growing louder.
“As much as I love to hear you, darling, you have to be quieter. We wouldn’t want you to wake the boys.” Wanda reminded.
Her words made you bite your lower lip, trying to stay quiet while the pressure inside you kept building. Her tongue made circles and figure-eight’s, swirling perfectly and sending sparks of pleasure through your body. Every part of you she touched instantly responded, sending you in a spiral of neediness.
Your hands pulled her impossibly closer, feeling yourself reach the edge. Your back arched and a few strangled pleas’ fell from your lips, before you finally came, your mouth hanging open in a scream that never left your throat.
Wanda helped you ride it out, her tongue never stopping, until the hands that used to pull her closer, started to try and push her away. She did so with a smirk, crawling over your body so she could plant a few soft kisses on your face. She was tempted to keep going, just so she could show you that she decides when you’ve had enough, not you, but knowing what she had in mind for you next, she decided to take pity on you.  
She moved off the bed after a minute, instantly seeing the concern in your eyes, when she left you and she smiled gently, before speaking.
“You just lie down and rest, dear. I’ll be right back.” She reassured you, discarding her top and panties and moving quickly and efficiently through the room, opening her special drawer with toys, so she could pull out a harness and her favorite dildo.
She made a show of putting it on in front of you, pulling out a bottle of lube from the bedside drawer and coating the toy with it. Not that you needed it, but she liked to be safe. When she was ready, she stood beside the bed, tall and proud and ready to pounce on you.
“Legs open, darling. Show me that pretty pussy.” Wanda demanded as she stroked her strap suggestively.
You did as you were told, spreading your legs wider than they already were, so you could give her a good view, but it didn’t seem to satisfy her.
“I said, show me your pussy.” She repeated, voice growing stern.
Timidly, a little unsure, you reached down, fingers parting your pussy lips, until you were all on display for her. It felt a little obscene, a little embarrassing too, showing yourself to Wanda in such an intimate way, but she seemed to like it, a pleased smile appearing on her face.
She crawled over the bed, her eyes following the length of your legs, then your thighs, zeroing in on your pussy in a manner that could only be described as predatory. But instead of tearing you apart, she was going to fuck you, until you couldn’t cum anymore.
“Such a pretty thing.” Wanda admired you, her hand reaching out. She dragged a single finger through your wetness, her eyes fixated on yours. “Do you know how long I’ve waited for this?” She suddenly asked. “How many nights I watched you touch yourself and dreamt it could be me. How hard I made myself cum, while you had your legs spread wide, just like this.” She emphasized, by spreading your legs even wider, watching the muscles strain. “But you’re not going to do such things anymore, are you?” She asked, as she started to drag the tip of her fake cock over your slick folds, getting it wet with your juices. ”Once I’m done with you…” She started off, leaning over you, so she could whisper the last of her words directly in your ear. “Nothing will ever be as good.” She promised, guiding the tip of her cock to your opening and pushing inside.
Your hands flew to her back instantly, your big, doe eyes looking up at her, while you nodded your agreement. You could hardly speak, the feeling of your walls parting for her, accepting her eagerly and squeezing around her was so overwhelmingly good, you could hardly even think, let alone process the fact that apparently, she’s been watching your nightly activities. All you wanted was this. For her steady thrusts to never stop, for her lips to keep exploring up and down your neck, planting kisses on every spot they could reach. You could tell she was leaving marks too, hickeys that marked you as hers. It was heavenly. And as her thrusts grew harder, your moans grew louder, your restraint entirely forgotten as you gave yourself completely to the moment.
“You need to be quiet, honey.” Wanda reminded again. “If you can’t keep quiet, I’ll have to gag you.” She warned. It sounded like a threat, but her eyes sparkling with excitement told you otherwise. You could tell she would love to do that and a part of you wanted to know what that would feel like. “Oh, you’d like that, wouldn’t you.” She noticed right away, an eyebrow arching up at the idea. “Stick your tongue out.” She demanded, one of her palms reaching up to hold your jaw, while you complied. “That’s right.” She nodded, her thumb running across your lower lip before it disappeared in your mouth. “Suck, baby.” She gasped, already feeling your eager tongue swirl over her digit, your lips closing around it hungrily.
You looked so beautiful like that, so content, so blissfully lost in pleasure. You were sucking on her thumb happily, your hands starting to claw at her back as she kept on thrusting inside you. Your legs had found their way around her too, your whole body pulling her in.
“Such a talented little mouth.” She mused, not missing the small blush that started to form on your cheeks. “I wonder what else you would like to have in there.” She pretended to think. “My nipples, maybe? They’re so sensitive, you know? I bet they’d feel amazing with your lips around them. Or maybe my pussy?” She suggested, feeling you hum happily in agreement. “I bet you love eating pussy.” She said with a smirk. “Maybe I’ll even get you to clean off my strap, when I’m done with you.” Wanda said with a spark in her eye. “Wouldn’t you like that? To suck me off. I’ll even get one of those squirting straps for you next time, so I can give you a treat after.” She thought out loud. “I bet you’d like that very much.”
All you could do was nod, eager to agree. You would love to get to taste her pussy, you would happily suck her off too. Not to mention sucking on her gorgeous nipples… The thought had you reeling. You wondered if perhaps she’d ever let you fall asleep while you sucked on them, all tucked in, with her warm blankets around you and her hot body pressed against you. That would be simply heavenly. But you didn’t dare say a word, too scared that she’ll take her thumb from your mouth and leave it empty, something you didn’t want happening at all. Especially when you felt so full right now. Both your mouth and your pussy were getting filled up by Wanda and each second was getting you closer to yet another climax.
Wanda could feel you get close and the pressure of the harness against her clit was driving her wild with desire, her pussy dripping with arousal. She wanted to come while she fucked you, picturing that she could cum inside you and fill you up. She pictured her fingers playing with the mess she left behind, pushing it all back inside, when it eventually leaks out, overstimulating your pussy. But that didn’t matter. She would make it all better… She just really wanted to be able to get off, while she fucked you, but the pressure of the base of the dildo against clit just wasn’t enough.
As another orgasm crashed through you, you were thankful for the fingers still in your mouth, otherwise you would have screamed, wave after wave of pleasure overwhelming your senses. Nothing had ever felt as good as Wanda’s touch and you were quickly getting addicted to the way she so easily managed to coax you into cumming, no matter how much you had already taken for her.
When you were done, she pulled out, carefully detaching herself from you and tossing the harness on the floor. When she climbed back over you, you thought she’d like to cuddle, or that perhaps she’ll straddle your face, a prospect that had you licking your lips in anticipation, but she straddled you instead, manoeuvring your body until, she could position her pussy on yours.
When her wet pussy first made contact with yours, you squirmed, feeling overstimulated, but Wanda only straddled you more securely, pinning you under her and using her hands to restrain you.
“Oh, don’t try to run from me now…” She said with a smirk, her pussy making contact with yours again. “I made you cum so many times tonight. Are you going to deny me, hm? Are you going to be ungrateful, sweetheart?” She asked, her words condescending and sweet.
You only shook your head, your fingers intertwining with hers in a silent agreement.
“Wouldn’t you like me to eat you instead?” You offered weakly, still hoping to spare yourself.
“No, darling, I want to feel you. I want to come just like this. I’m already close, baby.” She reassured you, even though she didn’t much care if that brought you any solace. “You can take it for me.”
“I can take it.” You nodded, voice strained and so small. She loved it. Loved the prospect of having you utterly spent and exhausted, so she could take care of you.
“That’s right. You just lay there and let me use you. I know you can take it for me.” Wanda confirmed proudly. “You’re such a good girl.” She praised, one of her hands stroking your hair lovingly. “Such a good, sweet girl, taking everything I give you. I’m so proud of you honey.” She murmured sweetly, lulling your brain into a submissive haze.
You hung on to every word she uttered, getting off on the praise and the warmth of her approval, your clit responding with a throb, when she started to rub hers over it. You loved it. The way she looked at you, the way she held you, the way she caressed you, her ministrations purposefully gentle and slow.
You could do nothing but surrender, happy to be used in this way, to see her close her eyes in pleasure as she continued to grind against you. Her breasts hung above you, full and gorgeous and begging for your attention and you lifted your head up, capturing a nipple between your lips and letting your tongue swirl over it.
Wanda’s response was a surprised gasp that quickly turned into a moan, one of her hands cradling your head as she continued to grind her pussy on yours.
“There you go.” She sighed happily. “Keep sucking, baby. You make me feel so good.”
She let you suck and lick over her nipples, loving the content expression she could see on your face as you did it. You looked so blissed out and she knew she could finally focus on getting an orgasm for herself, her hips picking up speed and grinding more firmly against you.
“You feel divine, darling.” She said, as she held you. “You’re gonna make me cum so hard.” She announced. “Don’t stop sucking.” She encouraged, pulling you even closer to herself, her fingers in your hair.
She moaned softly, excitement shooting through her at the thought of just how dirty this was. She had you all pinned underneath her, using your pussy to get off, her juices mixing with your own, while she had you sucking on her nipples.
“Fuck, I’m close.” Wanda gasped, her movements getting more frantic as she chased her high. “Are you going to come with me, baby? I want you to come with me.” She said with a note of urgency.
You tried to say something, your words muffled, as your face was being shoved into Wanda’s perfect tits. A part of you really wanted to come with her, feeling safe and protected in your current position. You felt enveloped by Wanda, by her taste, her scent, her voice, the heat of her body on top of yours. It was perfect really. Then there was the other part of you, that felt utterly fucked out already and entirely unable to take another orgasm. But as soon as you felt her body go rigid, her stuttering thrusts getting erratic and then almost stopping as she came, your body decided for you. You let go, your orgasm crashing over you and making you moan.
Wanda had to fight back a scream as she finally came, her clit twitching and throbbing as it was being rubbed over your own. She couldn’t picture a better way for herself, loving how close you were, how intimate it felt to get off like this. She loved it even more that you came with her.
Your orgasm was much shorter than hers, your whole body utterly spent already, but you held on, taking the overstimulation that sent almost painful jolts through you, and waiting for her to finish, wanting her to enjoy herself as much as she liked.
When she was done, Wanda was kind enough to pull away from your pussy, finally having mercy on you, after she saw the exhausted look on your face.
She stood up briefly, getting you a glass of water and she watched you drink it, before she returned to bed, trying to snuggle you and finally let you rest, but feeling you resist her.
“I didn’t even get to taste you.” You murmured gently, the cutest pout she’d ever seen appearing on your face and making her let out a laugh.
“Oh, don’t worry, you’ll get to taste my pussy too, baby.” Wanda reassured you. “You’ll get a chance to show me how good you are with your tongue. Now, rest. You’ll need your strength tomorrow.” She whispered in your ear, the arm around you pulling you closer to her.
She watched you fall asleep, eyes sparkling and full of adoration, fingers playing with your hair calmingly, until you fully relaxed in her hold, breathing evening out.
“You’re just perfect, aren’t you.” She spoke softly, memorizing each detail of your face. “All mine now.”

Honor the Sun: Summer Solstice ☀️
As the warm rays of the sun envelope us, we find ourselves at the Summer Solstice, also known as Litha or Midsummer. This holiday celebrates the sun’s power. 
Tumblr media
Summer Solstice is observed on June 21, 2023. This is the longest day of the year, and the shortest night. Litha is about the power of the sun. Before we welcome the dark side of the year, we acknowledge the peak of the solar year. 
Many see Litha as a time of balance between light and dark, masculine and feminine energies, and our realm and the other. It’s a time to connect with nature, and enjoy the company of others.
The sun is shining the brightest on this day, symbolizing the peak of light and the triumph of the sun over darkness. The warmth of the sun gives us a sense of renewed strength and inspiration. It’s a reminder to embrace the abundance of beauty and nature surrounding us.
The Anglo-Saxons brought Litha with them to the British Isles when they settled in the 5th and 6th centuries. The Celts celebrated Litha, with the planting season just passing and wanting to call in a great harvest. It was essential to appease the solar Gods in some way. They would have hilltop bonfires and dancing. Many people would jump over the bonfires for good luck.
Many cultures have honored Gods and Goddesses of the Sun. These deities can be worshiped during Litha.
Some traditions believe in the battle of light and dark, where the Oak King and Holly King fight for control. During each Solstice, they battle for power and the balance shifts. The Oak King, who represents daylight, rules from the Winter Solstice to Litha. During this time, the day steadily gets longer. During Litha, when the Holly King wins, the days get darker until Yule.
Litha Correspondences:
Key Words: Warmth, Manifestation, Love, Light, Fertility, Unity, Success, Strength
Symbols: Sun, Flowers, Trees, Mushrooms, Honey, Bees
Herbs & Plants: Chamomile, Lavender, St. John’s Wort, Rosemary, Sunflowers, Daisy, Oranges
Colors: Gold, Green, Light Blue, Orange, Pink
Animals: Bees, Cows, Horses, Dragonfly, Songbirds
Tumblr media
How to Celebrate Litha:
For most modern-day Pagans, Litha is a day of inner power and brightness. Fire rituals and barbecues are a common way to celebrate. This holiday celebrates Earth’s abundance and personal power. 
Decorate the House and your altar. Adorn your altar with symbols of the sun, flowers, herbs and items that represent Litha. Some ideas: gold objects or coins, yellow and white flowers, lavender, circular items, symbols of the sun, seasonal flowers, fruits or crops (strawberries, sunflowers), citrus fruits.
Gather loved ones for a Litha feast, abundant with seasonal fruits, vegetables and herbs. Having a summer barbecue counts! Savor the flavors of the Earth’s bounty and share in the joy of community. As you dine, express gratitude to the land for the nourishment.
Kindling a bonfire is a time-honored tradition of Litha. Traditionally, people stayed up all night on Midsummer’s Eve to welcome and watch the sunrises. Bonfires were lit on tops of hills and at sacred places to honor the Sun. A bonfire represents the Sun at the peak of its strength. People danced and leaped around them. Coals from the Midsummer fire were scattered on the fields to ensure good harvest. Today, you can gather friends and family to hold a Midsummer Night’s Fire Ritual. Celebrate the season with a big bonfire and form a circle around the dancing flames. As the fire crackles, offer gratitude for the sun’s life-giving energy. Release any burdens of negativity into the fire, allowing the power of flames to cleanse or renew your spirit. In addition, you can write these things down and burn them in the fire to symbolically let go of what is no longer serving you.
If you prefer spending your time alone this Summer Solstice, there are plenty of small ways you can celebrate.
Craft a beautiful flower crown using vibrant blossoms or herbs that correlate to the holiday. Wear it as a symbol of your connection to nature.
Take a stroll through a blooming garden, a lush forest, or a sunkissed meadow. Listen to the melody of a birdsong, breathe in the fresh air, and take in the majesty of nature. Allow yourself to be in the present moment, embracing the interconnectedness of all beings. Gather flowers, herbs, or stones that resonate with you to use in rituals or as decoration.
Meditate about the light and dark forces in the world or in yourself. Find ways that you can bring more lightness into your life and get in touch with the joyful parts of life. Journal, do yoga, practice self-care or take a walk. Stargazing is another way to reflect on yourself.
Focus on your goals and nurture your intentions. You should see results in the harvest season. 
Find a natural body of water such as a river, lake or ocean and immerse yourself in the waters, or at least a part of your body. As you do this, visualize negative energies or emotions being washed away. Offer a prayer of gratitude to the water element for its purifying properties. 
Cast spells of fruition. It’s a great time for spells of success, abundance, love, purification, protection and parenthood.
This celebration beckons us to embrace the power of the sun and revel in the abundance of the summer season. Celebrate life, growth, and the eternal cycle of nature. May the blessings of Litha fill our hearts with warmth and inspiration through the year!

It is June finally, summer polishing it's restless claws, and you are dying.
You didn't love me at first, and i was alright with that. i remember back when there were bunkbeds in the middle room, and you'd sit on top where my sister slept, how i'd climb up the ladder just to look at you. you where always so good, so quieht and invisible when you'd hunt in the autumn leaves, delicate paws that have now started to curl with arthritis and age.
i remember the first time you bit me and i didn't tell mom, because i thought she'd get mad at you and think you weren’t worth petting, and I didn’t want her not to touch you.
she didn't get mad. But she did notice my bloody hand clutched to my chest. “It’s not that bad,” It was never too bad, for me to keep trying with you. you've lived in my house for 21 years now.
i wish you'd let me clip your claws, but somehow that feels like something you wouldn't want on principle. You were always so quick to use them whenever someone reached down to pet you that you didn't like. hissing and biting were your language the way you told my family and me /no/ before i had the experience to know how important that was. How essential it was to say the word /no/.
I learned. Oh, how I /learned/ from you.
My family likes to joke that i'm still the only one out of them that knows how to set healthy boundaries, i can't have learned it from my parents. The way i see it, it has to be from you. You taught me how to fight tooth and claw for what i know i need. You taught me that there is always room to be loved better, always a reason to teach the people who love you how to love you in ways that won't hurt.
and although it hurts now, i think it's just because the love i have for you has no were to go, now that i know that you're dying.
i still remember the first night you really /asked/ me to pet you. the first time you asked for more than the occasional chin rub (those are still your favorite) i was 16, and spending alot of time in my room because the stalking had gotten particularly bad. you were always in my room too- because it was always soft and quiet- the same room i write from now. where underneath you are dying beneath the porch (i won't be cruel and try to move you if thats where you've chosen to rest, i know how to respect what you want now, you taught me so well!).
The same room you died in, because you couldn’t stand it, how I kept trying to bring you back to my room.
The first time i pet you because you wanted it, i had a bottle of benedryl and two bottles of advil on my bedside table and i knew that taking them would make my organs fail. God, i was sitting on the edge of that single bed and sobbing. Ready to go. Ready to end it,
And then you started circling my heals and /meowing/ at me. the cat who never wanted to be touched hopped up on my bed, wormed its way between my knees and started nudging at my hands and purring. begging for touches that i barely knew how to give.
i was sobbing too hard to see, but i could feel you purring against my fingertips. Maybe you knew, animals have a 6th sense about things. but i don't think i knew how much i needed to not feel alone right then. i think you stopped me from taking them, i don't know if it would have killed me.
You stopped purring 3 days ago.
I’m convinced You saved my life regardless, it’s a pity that there’s nothing I can do to save yours now.
i didn't feel alone after that, and i suspect i won't feel alone until your body is cold and you're gone. i suspect it will be hours now, i'll check on you again before i go to sleep and once more before that, after i'm done writing this.
later in life, you got softer. kinder, less likely to swat and attack, i think maybe you realized that you actually liked me a little or at the very least you knew i was hurting and needed love too. We made up for lost time you and I.
i started to pet you a little longer, even though you were hairy and thick furred and tended to get orange hair on everything. in the winter i'd sit by the fire and pet you until i had enough fur to felt a hat with, and in the summer, you'd tollerate sweaty nudges of my fingers. i always pet you more in wintertime, you always hated the cold. I got up and closed the window, just before you died.
i always gave you one more pet after i thought i was too tired to give you anymore if you didn't walk away from me first, one more. just one more. I used to say, just one more so that when she dies I’ll know I gave her all the love I could and then some.
That was a lie, I have so much love for you left and when you die there will be no where for it to go. I should have given you double, or triple the love I did.
i really hoped, this last winter, that you'd make it to see the summer, just because then you'd be more comfortable, and maybe you could go back to watching the chiptmunks in the garden. Your days of chasing them long over. maybe i should feel happy, you got to see the spring. it's june now, 7 days shy of summer, and i know it's your time to go.
i just want to say thank you, thank you for being my friend, thank you for being my cat. if i'm allowed one more lifetime, i'd like to spend it with you <3 you where the best cat ever.
i promise i'll listen and learn to love you just as well next time <3

Louis XIII and his cooking adventures 🍴🥞
When it comes to our Louis XIII cult, I often refer to the king's iconic omelettes, but what about his other stuff? For example, he really loved sweets (like beignets or jams), but could he also cook them? The answer is YES, and that's not even all yet!
Louis was a curious child who's head was already filled with various interests and cooking became one of them when he was only ten years old at the time (which is quite unusual for a king). First ever case of the king cooking was recorded on february 11th of 1611, when he was preparing milk soups for the Duchess of Guise / Catherine of Cleves. So milk soup, most likely, could be Louis' very first dish made by himself!
Of course many kids have a sweet tooth and our precious omelette king was not an exception which I guess is why he started to learn how to cook mostly from recipes of sweets. Also, take a shot every time I say "sweets" or "cooking" (don't..) 🕊️
Tumblr media
So, among 17th century royal sw- *ahem* DESSERTS we had in our menu – a jam, quince jelly, beignets (basically french donuts) and marzipans. In a well-known, among many of y'all Louis stalkers, journal of his doctor Jean Héroard I found some clear evidence of Louis XIII cooking some of these himself, so here it is feat. me periodically panicking over my own translation because my half-french friend is too busy atm and I don’t wanna bother them:
June 6th, 1611 — «He walks through the corridor from the study to the paneled gallery where he had an oven for making jams, he is amused to see how it's done.» I know it's not exactly him cooking, but I just wanted to leave it here :")
October 15th, 1612 — «Madame comes to see him; he has fun making jam with Mademoiselle de Vendôme»
January 29th, 1613 — «He often has fun making almond milk and marzipans at Madame's house.»
March 6th, 1615 — «It was very cold; he goes to the kitchen, makes omelettes, beignets, fried eggs; it was he who made them and ate a little of that he tasted.» Pretty sure the last few words could be translated better because it's always rather my terrible french or a little confusing way of Héroard's writing, so feel free to correct me.
February 3rd, 1616 — «He is preparing a small snack of dry jam for the queen, who must come to him at two o'clock. After going back to bed, he happily forms various battalions of his little silver men.»
February 5th, 1622 — «He leaves Saint-Germain, goes to Pontoise, where he enjoys making and eating beignets; while dining at Cormeille, he suddenly goes to the goblet in which he makes little cream puffs.» The original text says «petits choux au lait» and I have no idea what could that exactly be, but it seems like some sort of little éclair-like buns made of milk? Little cream puffs?? Maybe by «choux au lait» Jean meant «choux à la crème» which were invented back in 1540 in France.
I know you've been waiting for the quince jelly too, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything about the jelly :c Though, judging by what we've got here It's still quite possible Louis could cook quince jelly as well, hmm... Anyways, if you know something I don't know of the jelly mystery, hit me up!
In the future, this great love for desserts will be inherited by his son Philippe I, Duke of Orléans (brother of Louis XIV), who is also a very interesting character in history!!
In conclusion I must say that Louis not only had a sweet tooth, but also a big love for trying out different things, all this curiosity and pure excitement, even when it comes to something so simple and familiar like food, will never ever stop to fascinate me :"D
Btw speaking about Louis 'trying out different things', I of course still have a lot to share on this as well! Stay tuned and have a good day/night 💘💘💘

Monthly likes/dislikes
❣️ Our Skyy 2 - Absolutely loving it so far!!! It’s exactly the kind of lighthearted chaos I was hoping for and especially the NLMG episodes were so much fun to watch. Once again proves that PP just work in a comedy setting. ngl these 2 episodes were better than the entirety of the 12 episodes of the main show for me lmao 🤷🏼‍♀️ The SIMM episodes were a bit strange plot-wise lmao but JD’s chemistry saved the day for sure. Very excited for what’s to come!! 
👎🏻 A Shoulder To Cry On - I was very disappointed by this one. It was my first time dipping my toes back into the kbl world after TMS and I was hopeful as I read good reviews but my god it was so bad. it had a solid start but then the plot started reaching and it got weirder with every episode. and not to mention the lack of intimacy like I get they probably didn’t do it because of kpop or whatever but why even cast them to begin with then??? I have zero understanding for things like that. This was a bromance and I hated it lmao. bye.

Aldbourne May 1944
Josie hadn’t been able to face watching the trucks leave. As soon as Lewis had told her of the 506 impending departure from Aldbourne she felt as though her life was over. Just a short five months ago she had been walking down a flower-lined altar to marry the love of her life and now she could be losing him forever. Time with Lewis had been few and far between, as the intelligence officer he was often away sorting out plans and ensuring that the invasion would go off as smoothly as possible considering the circumstances. Civilians weren’t meant to know the invasion plans but Lewis trusted Josie implicitly and she was sworn to secrecy. She felt as though if she knew what was to unfold it would make their parting easier but it didn’t. If anything it made the whole situation worse because she now knew that her husband would be throwing himself out of a situation plane over Normandy probably under fire from German artillery. What’s not to worry about?
The trucks had been rumbling by since the early hours when Josie still lay in bed, cold and alone as she stared at the bare ceiling. Lewis had stayed at the barracks that night so he was on hand and could depart with the others so he had said his goodbyes to her that afternoon. Even though they both knew it was coming, nothing could have made it easier. To Josie, this was the last straw. Jess had already been shipped overseas and was working at an aid station in France. Lewis, Dick, Eugene, George and Julian were all shopping off for the Normandy invasion. Will was off flying God knows where. All of a sudden Josie felt truly alone.
“I’ll be back in no time Josie. Sink has promised 3 days and nights of fighting and we will be relieved. I’ll be back in Aldbourne before you even have time to miss you,” Lewis reassured her, peppering her cheeks with sloppy kisses that caused a small smile to break upon her lips.
“But I already miss you, Lew and you haven’t even left,” Josie knew she sounded pathetic and whiny but she didn’t care. Her husband was leaving her for his potential impending doom, she had every reason to be upset.
“I know. I miss you too but you knew this was coming. We all did but I promise I’ll always find my way back to you,” Lewis chipped her cheek tenderly, his wedding band feeling cold and familiar against her skin. Josie could recall so many nights with their hands in twined, her fingers running over the gold band. It amazed her how something so simple could signify so much. She only hoped that over in Normandy her love could still protect him as if she still had him in her arms, tucked up in their bedroom in Aldbourne.
As for Lewis, he knew far more than he was letting on, the perks of being an intelligence officer one could suppose, but he wasn’t about to let Josie know that. He didn’t want to worry her, knowing that she had more than just him to worry about in this fight. For a start, he’d have to find a way to keep George and Julian as far away from any potential trouble as possible. As for Jess, Lewis had already contacted the field hospital she was at and asked the medical officer there to inform him of any planned movements or relocation of staff. Even if he couldn’t be there for his wife he was going to make damn sure he’d protect those she loved at all cost.
Tumblr media
Normandy 6th June 1944
The Sherman lurched and cranked its way down the muddy farm track, its large caterpillar treads churning the mud beneath them, gouging deep into the ground. The incessant whistling and wiring was getting on Lewis’ nerves and he was beginning to regret his decision to hitch a ride with the 2nd Armoured Division straight off of Utah beach. Lewis felt his body rock back and forth and the tank trundled downwards towards the old farm buildings where the 506 had gathered. A familiar redhead appeared on the side of the road and he called out to the tank commander to stop the convoy. Lewis smiled down at Dick who was still sporting his blackened face from the D-Day drop.
“Going my way?” He called out, watching a small smirk appear on Dick’s lips.
“Sure.”
Lewis helped Dick climb up beside him, warning him not to hurt himself which caused Dick to shove him lightly and the pair laughed as the tank convoy continued down the track.
“So, how was your jump?” Lewis asked, watching as his friend thought over the previous night's escape.
“Can’t complain. Lost my M1 and my leg bag snapped so until I found the rest of Easy I was with a kid called Hall.” Nixon looked on sympathetically as Dick recalled taking the gun batteries at Brecourt Manor. Lewis enjoyed his job as Intelligence Officer but he sometimes felt as though he wasn’t really in the fight, although from the recollections of other soldiers, he was glad to be further from the front at times.
“How did you leave things with Josie?” Dick asked, as they clambered down from the Sherman and thanked the crew for their lift.
“She was upset. She didn’t come to watch the trucks leave but we said our goodbyes. I promised her it would only be three days and nights but I’m beginning to feel like that was just a moral boost.” Dick laughed in agreement. Neither of them could believe that they had dropped into Normandy just for the so-called ‘three days and nights of hard fighting’ to then be relieved.
Tumblr media
London July 1944
Josie sighed, stepping quickly down the concrete steps of the Royal London Hospital, her heels tapping rhythmically as she hurried towards the bus stop. She had completed her final day of training with the Voluntary Aid Detachment. Seven long weeks of hard training in first aid, home nursing and medical hygiene had all led to this moment and having completed her final examination she was officially part of the VAD. Josie had signed up shortly after Lewis left, ‘well there was no point sitting at home and moping,’ she had thought as she posted her application the morning of Easy Company’s departure from Aldbourne.
Josie clutched her hand tightly around her handbag, ensuring it didn’t blow open as she hurried down the bustling London streets. The letter for Lewis and her call-up papers were neatly enclosed. She had written to Lewis the previous night explaining everything that had happened since he’d left for Normandy. The VAD normally required a trial of one month working in a hospital and then three months of ‘hard work’ before being offered a full-time position in a hospital. However, with the number of casualties in Normandy and the demand for more nurses, Josie had completed further practical training in a London teaching hospital alongside her VAD training and had been one of a handful of women who were selected to ship out to Normandy.
A car horn behind her caused Josie to jump, spinning on her heels to come face to face with the familiar Austin and a cheerful pilot behind the wheel.
“Will?” She called, approaching the window as it rolled down and revealed the familiar face.
“Hello Jojo, where are you heading in such a hurry?” He smirked, leaning casually against the steering wheel. His blue eyes shone in the afternoon sun and were radiating light, unlike the eyes of the men Josie had been treating those last few weeks.
“I need to catch the bus. I’m heading back to Aldbourne tonight and if I miss this one I have to wait an hour for the next one and I won’t get home before dark,” Josie explained hurriedly, conscious that every minute she wasted talking to William was another minute she would be late for her bus.
“What’s the rush, Josie? Surely we could spend the evening catching up. I haven’t seen you since your wedding,” William gave her a pleasing look, a look he knew that Josie had never been able to resist.
“Okay, fine,” she opened the car door and hopped in, her summer dress causing her to slip against the car's leather seats. “One drink okay and then we need to head back to Aldbourne.”
“You have my word.”
Tumblr media
William had always been a man of his word but as the two friends reminisced and caught up one drink turned into two, turned into three and by midnight they were walking arm and arm along the road to a hotel. Josie snorted loudly at something William had said and the pair fell through the grand, silver door of an expensive hotel.
Following Will to their respective rooms, Josie wandered up the lavish corridors that were clad with red, leather wallpaper and mirrors that were spaced a meter apart from each other. When they reached their hotel rooms opposite each other Josie turned, pushing a key into the lock and turning it. The door swung backwards on its hinges and revealed the darkened room.
“Well, this is me. I had a really lovely time tonight, Will. Thank you for taking my mind off everything,” she gestured around her with a sigh. Between Lewis leaving, constant bad news from France and her VAD training Josie had barely had time to stop and breathe.
“I had a really splendid time too,” Will admitted, leaning closer to Josie against the doorframe. “A really good time.” Josie felt William leaning towards her and without a second thought, she pushed him backwards, sending him stumbling over the hallway rug.
“William, stop! What I’m God's name do you think you’re doing?” Josie gasped, looking in utter horror at the man she had once called a friend. “Will, I trusted you.” She could feel hot tears polling in her eyes and trickling down her red cheeks, her mascara running in dark black smudges.
“Josie, I’m so sorry…” William stepped towards her but Josie raised her hand to stop him.
“How could you, William? I’m married.”
“Yes, but to the wrong man. You were always meant to marry me, ever since we were children. It was written in the stars.” William pleaded, his hands clasped out in front of him but Josie stepped backwards into her room, pulling the door closed with her.
“Good night, William.” She knew her voice sounded colder than she would have liked. William had been her friend for many years and had stood by her despite her parents but this was a step too far. Josie didn’t bother to turn on the lights, she fumbled her way across the room to the large double bed. She knew the covers would be lavish, everything about the place was grand and in normal circumstances Josie would have been exploring all the amenities of the room but not tonight. She fell like a rag doll onto a bed, her tears falling faster and heavier now as she sobbed into the sheets. Josie had felt alone ever since Lewis and her friends left for France but now she felt even more alone because she had lost her only remaining friend.
“I miss you, Lewis,” she sobbed, bawling her hands into her eyes like a child. “Please come home.”

C'est Toi
Eugene Roe x Medic!Reader (Soulmate AU)
Masterlist
A/N: Hiiii @issiie / @cetaitlaverite !! Sorry again for the delay! This is the last gift from me, and I hope you've enjoyed them so far. I'm excited to release this fic! It is my first attempt at a soulmate au, so bear with me! I do not own any of these characters except for (y/n). Enjoy!
Summary: People never know when they'll meet their soulmate, but (y/n) would have never thought she'd meet hers in a hot, humid town in Georgia.
Warnings: mentions of wounds, blood, death, etc...
Tumblr media
For as long as she could remember, (y/n) (y/l/n) wondered if she had already met her soulmate. The small mark above her hip was a constant reminder of what, more like who, who was yet to come into her life. As she grew up, she always looked out for the matching mark on every boy she went out with, but soon grew tired of the chase, deciding that it would happen at the right time.
Before the "right time" could come, the world descended into war, and (y/n) enlisted, wanting to serve her country like the rest of the men in the military. After a rough time of convincing generals and higher-ups in the army, she was granted permission to be a combat medic in the 101st Airborne, Easy Company.
Basic was hard, but she made it through Sobel, even though he had it out for her especially. One thing that got her through the long runs up Currahee and the long lectures was her fellow medic, Eugene Roe. The Cajun was shy at first, but (y/n) soon brought him out of his shell when she started talking about the family she left behind. From then on, they were inseparable. You would rarely find one without the other, and if you did, you knew that they would make their appearance soon.
Before they knew it, it was the night of June 5th, hours before the "Day of Days" they trained for would begin.
Tumblr media
June 6th, 1944
After getting all geared up for the jump, (y/n) made her way over to where Eugene was making sure everyone in his platoon had enough bandages in their personal aid kits. Her stomach was buzzing with uncertainty and a twinge of fear as she waited for him to finish.
"Salut, ma chérie," he called to her, a smile painting his face. She could tell it didn't quite meet his eyes, though.
"Hey, Gene." She took a deep breath as she approached him. "Are you ready for this? Cause I don't know if I a-"
He gently placed his hands on her arms, squeezing softly to stop her rambling. "You've got this, (y/n/n). Don' worry, okay? We're gonna be fine."
At his touch, a warmth spread through her body, and she could feel a blush creep up her face. He was her best friend, so why was she freaking out at a simple touch from him?
Pushing through the feeling, a defeated sigh escaped her lips as she muttered toward the ground. "Promise me you'll be careful. Please."
He moved his hands to cup her cheeks, his soft browns peering into her (y/e/c) ones. "I promise, ma chérie. You too."
Feeling the heat from his breath on her skin, she glanced down at his lips before catching herself after a split second.
"Alright, Doc," she whispered, reluctantly stepping back. "I'll see you in France."
With a solemn expression, he nodded, scanning her face as if it was the last time he would see her, heart racing. Just before she turned away, he caught her wrist gently, pulling her into a tight embrace, burying his head into the crook of her neck.
When he finally pulled away, Eugene turned and walked towards his plane, knowing that if he turned back, he wouldn't be able to leave her. Doing the same, (y/n) took a deep breath, blinking away the tears that threatened to fall. They would see each other again. They had to.
Tumblr media
The unsettled feeling in (y/n)'s stomach didn't settle. Not even when she found Floyd Talbert on the way to the rally point. Not even when she linked up with most of the company at the designated point.
Only did the feeling subside when she laid eyes on a very exhausted-looking Eugene Roe. Along with this feeling, an invisible weight lifted off her shoulders as she saw him patching up a soldier in the distance.
"Gene," she whispered under her breath before running toward him.
The man he was helping started to limp slowly over to the aid station, and Gene stood up, taking a deep breath.
When she called his name again, his head shot up, and a smile instantly formed on his grimy face when he saw her. He met her halfway, throwing his arms around her middle, and pressed his cheek against her hair with a sigh.
"Je remercie le Seigneur," he murmured, "Thank you."
At that moment, Gene was more content than he had ever been before. She was living and breathing. That's all he'd asked for.
The time they were separated, though only hours, he felt like his heart was unable to beat properly until he saw her again. Throughout his journey through the forest of Normandy, the image of her smiling face kept him going, along with the hope he was going to see it again soon.
Pulling away, Gene cupped her face gently, searching her face for injuries. "Are you alrigh'? Are ya' hurt?"
"I'm okay, Gene," she mumbled, placing her hands over his. "I'm okay.
Tension thickened the air, and his heart began to beat out of his chest as she looked up at him with the most beautiful face he'd ever seen. In a split-second decision, he chose to finally tell her how he felt.
"Listen, I need to-"
"Medic!" he was interrupted.
(Y/n) nodded in the call's direction. "Go."
Scanning her face one more time, he ran toward the cry for help, already missing (y/n)'s warmth.
As she watched him go, she tried to calm her racing heart. He was alive. Gene was alive.
Tumblr media
The next few days after D-Day, they were ordered to take the town of Carentan. Supposedly, there was a company of German paratroopers holding the city, but no one knew for certain what they were walking into.
Gene and (y/n) were at the back of the formation of Easy as they waited over a hill on the road to Carentan. They watched Lieutenant Winters speak to Harry Welsh before giving the signal to go.
Nodding to each other, they began to run toward the town. Within seconds of the company moving in, a cry in German could be heard, followed by the dreaded sound of machine-gun fire. (Y/n) watched in horror as some of the men beside her were gunned down easily.
"In the ditch!" Winters yelled over the chaos.
Not hearing the order, (y/n) kept on running with the surviving men of 1st platoon into Carentan.
Gene's heart dropped seeing her sprint into the onslaught of bullets.
"(Y/n)!" He yelled, but she didn't hear him.
Dust sprung from the ground before her as she barely made it to cover with Harry and George Luz. Slamming into the concrete building beside them, Welsh looked behind them, realizing the rest of the company was nowhere to be found.
"Where is everybody?" He shouted as Luz shoot a few times around the side of their cover.
Taking cover, George hid behind the wall momentarily. "I have no idea!"
During this interaction, (y/n) was scanning their surroundings, trying to find any indication of where everyone was, especially Gene. At this point, her eyes were trained to find the bright white and red armband they wore, but she saw no trace of it.
'He'll be okay,' she told herself. 'He'll be okay.'
In less than a minute, the rest of Easy began swarming into the town, and that's when the first cry for a medic could be heard.
"Medic up!"
Saying a silent prayer, (y/n) took a deep breath and ran out into the chaos. Bullets whizzed by her as she found the injured man in an alleyway.
"Help me, Doc! It's my arm!" the soldier yelled when she slid down beside him.
"I've got ya, sweetheart. You're gonna be okay."
She pulled out her bag and sprinkled sulfa on the wound, bandaging it up the best she could. Once she was done, she asked the man if he could stand.
"I think so, ma'am."
"Good," she responded. "Go back toward our infill point and take cover there."
Just as the words left her mouth, another yell for a medic could be heard. Within two seconds, she was on her feet, making her way toward the next injured man.
"This is going to be a long and hard day."
Tumblr media
A good bit into the battle, Gene had treated many men but was yet to see his (y/h/c) counterpart darting through the streets of Carentan. This could have been attributed to the fact that the town was like a maze, different streets and alleyways made it hard to navigate it, even though it wasn't that large.
Taking cover in an old bakery, Gene glanced to his right to see Shifty Powers aiming his rifle at what he suspected to be a sniper. After he was done shooting for a moment, Roe called out to him.
"Powers. You seen (y/l/n)?"
He had to think for a second but nodded a few seconds later. "Yeah. I saw her helping someone with a shoulder wound not too long ago."
"Alright. Thanks," Gene responded, brows furrowing in concern.
'Where is she, now?' He thought, watching as men flew by the entrance of the bakery.
Tumblr media
"Medic!"
Like always, (y/n) went flying toward the sound, disregarding the danger she was putting herself in. Halfway there, she heard the desperate voice of Lip echo through the street.
"Move, move, move!" He yelled, motioning for them to take cover.
With a curse, (y/n) continued toward the injured man 10 feet in front of her. Before she could make it there, she heard the distinct whistle of an incoming shell, and the next thing she knew, she was thrown backward from its impact.
The breath was knocked from her lungs by the force of the explosion. Frozen, she tried to speak, but nothing came out but strangled gasps.
She vaguely heard someone call her name, but all she could focus on was the violent buzzing in her ears and a burning sensation spreading through her stomach. Trying to lean up on her elbows, she yelped at a sharp pain in her abdomen and fell back on the hard ground, hand flying to the area. When she pulled it away, it was coated in crimson.
"I'm h-hit," she whispered to no one in particular. "I ca-can't b-bre-breathe"
Suddenly, a body slid next to hers, their hands hovering over her.
"(Y/n)! Oh mon Dieu."
Gene. It was Eugene. Even though he was sick to his stomach, he pushed it aside and went into medic mode. She wasn't just another wounded soldier, but right then, he had to treat her as one.
"Ge-Gene?"
"Yeah, it's me, chérie. I've got ya. Hold on."
He hooked his hands under her armpits, pulling her toward a nearby building.
"Come on, sweetheart. I got ya."
Whimpers escaped her mouth as he jostled the wound when they moved. Just when they got around cover, Harry Welsh came sprinting around the corner, hand holding his helmet to his head. At the sight before him, his heart dropped. Everyone knew how close the two of them were.
"Doc, do you need help?"
"No," he responded, lifting her shirt to get a look at the wound. "Tell Spina what happened."
With a reluctant nod, Harry raised his rifle and went to find Ralph. Gene glanced at (y/n)'s face, which was covered in scratches and scrunched up in pain, and quickly gave her a morphine shot to the shoulder. Seeing her visibly relax, he felt a slight relief as well.
"You're alright, chérie. You're alright," he whispered, cupping her cheek gently.
"Thans', Ge," she slurred, eyes fluttering shut from the morphine.
He quickly got out a bandage and started to clean the wound, which he discovered was from a two-inch piece of shrapnel that was embedded in her abdomen. Sprinkling sulfa on the area, Gene froze when he saw a discolored area just above her hip.
Shaking the feeling away, he finished bandaging her up before wiping the area in question clean of any blood.
The shape of the mark was instantly recognizable. It was a mirror image of the one on his hip.
If they had matching marks, it could only mean one thing. His eyes widened at the realization.
They were soulmates.
"C'est Toi," he muttered under his breath. "It's you."
The young man's heart began to race at the thought, and all the feelings for her he'd suppressed since Toccoa came bubbling back to the surface.
He was pulled from his stupor by the voice of Spina.
"She alright?"
Gene cleared his throat, "Yea', she took shrapnel to the stomach, but it's out now. She'll have to come off the line."
"Shame. I know we really need her out here with us."
Glancing back down at her, he smiled. "You have no idea how much."
Tumblr media
Before long, they carefully loaded (y/n) onto a stretcher, and she was sent to the aid station. When she woke up, a familiar head of dark hair was resting on the side of the bed, his hand intertwined with hers.
Deciding to let him sleep, she watched him silently. Nowadays, a solemn look occupied his handsome face most of the time, so she loved seeing the carefree version of him.
"Glad to see you're awake," whispered Lip, who was laying on the cot beside her.
"Me too. What happened to you?"
"Mortar," he replied matter-of-factly.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Car."
He smiled softly, "Thank you. You too, (y/n). I know he'll miss you."
"I'll miss him just as much," she replied, running her free hand through Eugene's hair.
Shooting up at the action, he grinned at her sleepily, asking. "Hey, chérie. How are you feelin'?"
"Sore, but I'll be okay...What happened after I fell asleep?"(Y/n) paused. "I don't remember much."
Not expecting the question, Gene about choked on nothing just thinking about his life-altering discovery. "I just patched ya' up and brought you here."
Although he was the one who brought her to the aid station, seeing her all bruised and bandaged suddenly made the situation real. He could have lost her. Tears glistened in his eyes, and he dropped his chin.
"I'm so glad you're alright. I don't know what I'd do without you, (y/n). I mean it. When I saw you laying there...I had to-"
"Stop," she interrupted. "You're not gonna lose me...and I don't know what I'd do without you, either."
"Who else would patch you up?" He joked, rubbing her hand softly with his thumb.
(Y/n) chuckled lightly at the joke, followed by a wince. "Please don't make me laugh."
"Sorry, darlin', my jokes normally don't make anyone laugh."
Even though she tried to hold it in, a laugh escaped her lips, causing her to groan lowly. "Gene!"
"Sorry!"
They sat in silence for a few minutes until her eyes began to droop and she yawned. Eugene ran his hands through her hair gently, lulling her to sleep.
"Go to sleep, (y/n)," he whispered. "I'll be here when you wake up."
Tumblr media
October 1945: Zel am See, Austria
Over the 8 months since Gene found out about (y/n)'s soulmate mark, he was tempted to tell her many times but decided against it.
Even though he wanted her to know how he felt, he was going to wait until the war was over. The last thing he wanted was for them to finally get confess, only for one of them to get killed.
When the Japanese surrendered in September, everyone was celebrating, but once everything settled down, they began thinking about home, more importantly, who they'd be coming home to. Gene had been thinking about telling (y/n) more and more each day, and it reached a boiling point in mid-October.
The Austrian landscapes around them were some of the most beautiful any of the men had ever seen, specifically, a lake with a perfect view of the Alps. This was where he was going to tell her how he felt; a place that was untouched by war.
That day, the company was finally having a rematch baseball game from V-J Day after George and Frank, who were on the losing team, pitched a fit about it not being a fair game. While the rest of the company was getting ready for the game, Gene approached (y/n)'s billet door.
Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door.
Heavy footsteps came thumping down the hallway, followed by (y/n)'s aggravated voice.
"No, Frank. I'm not playing in the stupid ga-"
Opening the door, she froze mid-sentence when she saw the shy-looking Cajun.
Her heart skipped a beat at the sight, and a blush crept up her neck. "Gene! I thought you'd be playing in the game?"
He simply chuckled. "I'm not very good at baseball."
"Me neither," she started. "So, what brings you to my humble abode?"
"Since neither of us is playing, would you maybe want to go-"
"Yes," (y/n) interrupted. "Yes."
A smile broke out on his face. "Don't you want to know what I was gonna say?"
"Nope. Surprise me?"
"Sure."
Tumblr media
"Alright. Close your eyes for me." Said Gene as they came up to the special place he'd found for them.
She listened and held her hands in front of her with a laugh. "Okay. Just don't let me run into anything, Eugene!"
"Don't worry. I've got ya, chérie," he said sweetly, taking her hands gently.
Arriving, he turned her toward the lake, sliding an arm around her shoulders. "Open."
(Y/n)'s eyes sprung open and widened at the view. "Gene, it's beautiful!"
"Do you like it?" He asked sheepishly.
(Y/n) turned to him with a surprised expression. "Of course I do. Thank you."
This was the moment.
Gene gently took her hands in his once again. "(Y/n)," he whispered. "I love you. And I kno-"
He was cut off by (y/n) pulling his face down to hers, crashing their lips together. As they pulled away, she chuckled breathily. "Do you know how long I've wanted to do that?"
The young man was beaming with happiness. "Just how long?" he questioned.
"Since I found out we were soulmates," she said, shrugging her shoulders with a grin.
Gene's eyes went wide. "Wait! You knew?"
"Since Toccoa."
"How?"
"I think you forget that you slept shirtless in Georgia."
Running a hand down his face, he sighed. "Of course. I'm an idiot."
"No, you're not," (y/n) paused. "And I love you, too."

The Cyberchase Homepage Through the Years: part 2 (January 6, 2005 through February 10, 2007)
I decided to pick up where I left off on my earlier post documenting the Cyberchase homepage over the years. Here is a capture from January 6th, 2005. The page is now back to normal after Starlight Night 2004. We now have an advertisement for "Cyberchase: The Quest".
Tumblr media
On January 30th, 2005, we got the Valentines Day design again. Cyberchase had wrapped Season 3 in December of 2004, and they wouldn't start airing Season 4 until April, so I suppose they didn't have anything new to promote just yet. I only just noticed that Matt is holding a flower as part of this artwork. I'm a bit surprised that neither of the girls are holding anything.
Tumblr media
They went back to advertising Cyberchase: The Quest by February 20, 2005.
Tumblr media
On April 6th, 2005, Digit started advertising "Know Your Dough", which was all about teaching children about money management.
Tumblr media
This capture from June 28th, 2005 shows an advertisement for "Quest 2: Race for Radopolis".
Tumblr media
On July 21, 2005, we got this promotion for Hacker's secret.
Tumblr media
This was referring to the main part of the "Transformatron Story Arc", as it discussed the four episodes where The Hacker was assembling the Transformatron. This was also where Slider was reunited with his dad.
Season 4 Episode 2: "The Icky Factor"
Season 4 Episode 3: "Penguin Tears"
Season 4 Episode 4: "Past Perfect Prediction"
Season 4 Epsiode 5: "Measure for Measure"
I may do a separate post talking about the promotional content, as it is no longer on the PBS Kids website, but I have recovered most of it for the FlashPoint Archive Project. Unfortunately, that video preview was in RealPlayer, and those files are lost now. But, the rest of it is now preserved.
Tumblr media
By August 7th, 2005, the "Hacker's Secret" promotion was gone. At that point they didn't have any advertisement in the bottom right corner. Fun fact, the file names refer to this bottom-right-corner advertisement as a "bug", regardless of what was being advertised. This would have been in reference to bottom-right-corner station IDs that you would see on television channels.
Tumblr media
I found a capture from September 30th, 2005 where they re-worked the page. The background is the same, but they've added new screens, kicked out Buzz and Delete, and now we get a count-down for new episodes, which are given a more prominent place. There is also a mention of a contest for 2005. It looks like another Intel partnership where winners would get laptop computers, similar to the 2004 contest. I need to dig around and see what can be retrieved from that and make a separate post.
Tumblr media
It's October 13th, 2005, and we get a Halloween version of the site. It looks like they just recycled it from last year. It is a bit of a shame, as I liked the new screen arrangement.
Tumblr media
And then, when November 2nd, 2005 rolled around, we are back to the advertisement for Cyberchase: The Quest.
Tumblr media
Here we see a capture from December 5th, 2005, and its a little bit confusing. The kids are all dressed up in their winter wear, and we have Cybersite Penguia as our backdrop. It looks nice until you start thinking about it.
Tumblr media
At first, I thought the kids had lugged the terminals and computer screens out there for this winter photoshoot. But then I saw the whole-ass balcony was also out there. How would they get that all that way to Penguia? Portal? Why would Motherboard agree to that? Was she in a particularly silly mood? And why were Buzz and Delete invited to this photoshoot? I think this is a Star Trek Holodeck type of situation where they haven't left the original room, and they are just simulating Penguia.
And now, we have this capture from December 10th, 2005, where Bianca makes a cameo to announce the winners of the 2005 contest. I don't think the kids have noticed her yet. Otherwise, they would be very surprised.
Tumblr media
And now, it is January 18th, 2006, and we get a promotion for Cyberchase Super Science coming in 12 days. I don't remember what this was off the top of my head.
Tumblr media
It is now February 2nd, 2006. The winter theme is gone, and the screens have been shifted around again to advertise "Cyberchase: The Quest 3" (the top left Cyber-beast), and "Cyberchase Super Science".
Tumblr media
This was an initiative that focused on kids designing, creating, and customizing things. This is something else that I need to make a separate post on at some point, depending on what I am able to recover. I can see that we have a link to "Cyberspace News Issue #3", which is a little confusing. The "Hacker's Secret" promotion gave us an un-numbered issue of "Cyberspace News", which I assume was Issue #1. I don't remember seeing an issue #2 anywhere. I need to look into that.
Tumblr media
This capture from April 10th, 2006, shows the "Know Your Dough" advertisement has returned. Maybe the kids spent too much money on the screens and needed a refresher.
Tumblr media
An June 15th, 2006, we get a promotion for "My Cyberchase Summer", pushing aside the Cyberchase Super Science promotion. This new promotion does feature The Hacker, and he would do something like that. This section had a list of the different episodes that were going to air during the summer of 2006, and they included activities to go along with them. Maybe I'll make a separate post all about this section later.
Tumblr media
It is now September 25, 2006. They finally kicked The Hacker off the screen and replaced him with a promotion for "My Big Idea".
Tumblr media
This was an initiative where parents could submit videos of their children working on inventions. This page talks about the invention videos being put up on the website and potentially aired on TV. The TV airing would have been part of "Cyberchase: My Big Idea", which was a two-hour special hosted by Harry and Bianca. The special used four episodes aired in a row, and Harry and Bianca would show up in-between them to talk about inventions and show the clips of the kids. I need to see if this is still around somewhere.
Tumblr media
Here we go. It is October 23rd, 2006, and the site has had a major redesign. They had been serving Flash games for years now, but now the homepage interface is all Flash. Additionally, the kids get idle animations. I can post a still image, but that can only show so much when the whole point is that the site is full of animations now. This particular page is advertising the new episodes coming in February, the character gallery where they put artwork submitted by viewers, a Starlight Night theme, and an advertisement for "Cyberchase: The Quest.
Tumblr media
Delete shows up if you click on this door.
Tumblr media
Uh oh! Buzz and The Hacker have gotten into wherever this place is. If we don't count The Hacker appearing on a screen or advertising bug, I think this is the first time The Hacker has shown up "for real" on the homepage. Maybe the Cybersquad should do something about that.
Tumblr media
Hey, I just wanted to point out that it is February 2nd, 2007, and the kids haven't taken down their Starlight decorations yet. https://web.archive.org/web/20070202023432/http://pbskids.org:80/cyberchase/index.html
They did them down sometime between February 2nd and February 8th.
Tumblr media
I think this is a fair place to stop for right now, before I hit the image or character limit.

You were at WWE’s backstage in Nashville, Tennesse at Summer Slam in the arena where the capacity was over 40,000 fans to hold in such a massive place like this. You chewed on your freshly black polished nails, your boyfriend, Adam, was scheduled to make his return ever since the June 6th episode of Raw, where he had been betrayed by his former disciples, The Judgment Day. He was somewhere in the archives, but wasn’t yet seen. Rey and Dominik, who were your closest friends, had been scheduled for a no disqualification match that very Saturday night with Damian Priest and Finn Balor.  
You pushed a thin strand of your h/c hair to the side that was falling into your face, your mind growing with worrisome thoughts and the ‘’what if this happens tonight?’’ popping up all over in your head. Rhea Ripley, who’s a part of The Judgment Day, was known to be one of your best friends since she joined the WWE to train to become the entertainer she is today. A best friend who had recently betrayed you was the most heart wrenching thing to ever put up with. She was like another person, a person who you would never forgive after what she has done to you, nobody like her should be trusted. Ever. 
‘’Good luck tonight out there, guys.’’ You greeted Rey and Dominik, who were heading out to somehow in some way get revenge on The Judgement Day. 
‘’Thank you, YN. We’ll make sure we kick their asses for you,’’ Dominik winked, followed by a laugh from his father Rey.   
This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Rey and Dominik to get their revenge on Rhea, Damian, and Finn. This match was going to be one hell of a show to never forget, one for the ages. You have had hope left in you for them as you watched on like a proud, close friend who was considered family to The Mysterio’s. Sitting yourself down in a chair, you watched on the big television screen from the backstage area, the worrisome thoughts began to disappear without a trace as your eyes were glued to the silver screen, displaying Rey and Dominik coming down the ramp and into the ring they were about to share with Damian and Finn. Smiling, your arms were tightly crossed against your chest hugging yourself, telling yourself mentally: ‘’They’re going to get their vengeance.’’ 
Right as Rey and Dominik had Finn and Damian slung over in the ropes, they attempted to dial up the ‘’619’’ move, but that damn bitch Rhea had to ruin it by pulling them both out of the ring by force. Your eyes rolled, sighing while your fingers tapped at a steady pace upon your lap.  
‘’Get a chair!’’ Rhea demanded, pointing at Finn demanding orders to him to finish your closest friends off. 
‘’No, no, no. This can’t end this way----’’ You sprung from out of your chair, with the biggest concern washed over your face.  
Within seconds before the chaos grew more intense, the blood red brood lights shone across the screen. You gasped, your boyfriend Adam, who you had not seen in 2 months, looked so different, yet so reborn. He had a red jacket with spikes on the shoulders, black skinny jean pants, and appeared to had fix his hair up a bit. Before you knew it, he was running down the long-trailed ramp, giving Finn Balor a forceful high kick to the jaw. As Damian tried to retreat from out of the ring, Adam speared a hole right through him. The crowd’s reaction was astounding, not even you could get the words out to coherent your sentences properly. It felt so refreshing to have Adam back. To not only get his vengeance on The Judgement Day, but saving your closest friends from devastating injuries. 
‘’That’s my Adam!’’ You yelled, celebrating his return while the cameras panned in on a devious smiling Adam by Rey and Dominik’s side, Dominik appearing to pin Damian for the ‘’3 count’’ to be claimed as victorious. Your emotions washed over you, you were filled with rapturous feelings it was unbearable to handle.  
It was just a good night. 
Tumblr media
‘’Adam!’’ You darted over to your boyfriend, giving him a wide smile and welcoming arms to embrace him into a bear hug. 
‘’Hi, honey. How have you been? My gosh, haven’t seen you in over 2 months. I didn’t know you were going to be here,’’ He was in awe by the way you have reacted when you saw him in person instead of on a big tv screen. 
‘’Long story short, I came here not only to support Rey and Dominik, but I had a heavy feeling you were going to return tonight. So, I traveled over 1,000 miles just to see you guys.’’ You rubbed the back of your boyfriend’s neck, he hummed in delight by your delicate touch on his skin.  
‘’1,000 miles?  You’re shitting, right?’’ Adam let out a laugh, shocked only for you to do such a thing.  
You playfully nuzzled the tip of your nose against his, he had no idea you had this all planned in your head after all. He placed large hands on the back of your head, forehead against yours's as you were about to fall into his trap normally like you usually do whenever you’re with him. You smelled the cologne off of him, he smelled so good it was so addicting. The smell of his cologne was your favorite smell of all besides the scent of lavenders. Sighing, you suddenly pulled away. 
‘’What’s up, ladybug?’’ He asked with a hand clamped on your shoulder; his hazel green eyes deeply boring into yours's. 
‘’It’s just I haven’t seen you in over two months, babe. I missed you so, so much. You should know one thing, and one thing only. I want you around every day like you used to be. It’s.... just not the same anymore.’’ You stated, standing back scratching the back of your neck with nails dug deep into your skin. 
‘’No, no. Please do not think like this, YN. You’ll always have me around; I promise you under one condition. I will never leave you like I did two months ago, okay ladybug?’’ Adam scooched in closer to you, his palm now cupping the side of your cheek. 
‘’Okay.’’ You replied, realizing the words that he spoke to you were true.  
Perhaps you were overthinking shit again, but today was not the day to overthink. You wanted to think carelessly and live free, but the chair to the skull of Adam is unforgettable. The Judgment Day was always there in your head, they just needed to be stopped. But how? How can you stop them when they’re powerful and not to forget, your ex best fucking friend was dragged deep into the depths of hell and sold her soul to the devil that very day when she joined forces with them. 
‘’Now come on, let’s go home.’’ Your boyfriend took your hand into his, exiting out of the arena with you to catch a private jet. 
Once the two of you arrived at your destination to reserve seats on a private jet, he leaded you into a backroom with purple judgment day themed lights. Crashing his pillowy lips onto yours’s, kissing you with a passionate fire burning in his throat, he grumbled something under his breath that was hard to make out. Ignoring the sudden sound he made, his tongue slipped into your mouth, and while your tongues were dancing for dominance, he pushed you against a wall. Adam grabbed a handful of the silk material of your black and white checkered mini skirt, tearing it off of you. The cold air swooshed across your legs, you moaned out his name aloud, your panties growing wetter and wetter by the minute. 
‘’Turn around. Now.’’ He huskily whispered in your ear, striking your ass with the palm of his dominant hand.  
You wince, nodding in eagerness, turning yourself around so your chest was pushed up against the hollowed wall, he controlled where your hands were aimed at, practically pinning them above your head as you felt the large bulge in his pants rubbing against your thigh. His hand glided up underneath your loose shirt, while his other hand was tightly pinning your wrists together. Pulling the shirt that covered you up over your head, he tossed it to the side of the room.  
‘’God pretty girl, you’re soaked.’’ He eyed you down, admiring the cum trickling down your thighs. 
‘’Didn’t have to barely touch you and you’re already this wet for me.’’ Adam t’sked at the hundreds of goosebumps developing on your skin, whatever he had said or done to you made you more drunk in love with him than you already are. He caressed the flesh on your thighs before giving it a light smack, he felt your body up while you were begging for him to fuck you on the private jet. 
‘’A-Adam, please take me.’’ The tone of your voice began too gradually be loud, enough for him to get frustrated and dominant you. 
‘’If you really wanted this, ladybug, you should’ve spoken up sooner,’’ He erotically teased, you mentally adding a ‘’you motherfucker’’ on top of it. 
His idle hands cupped underneath the bottom of your fleshy ass, hoisting you up, quickly switching sides with you so you can be face to face with him. With your skinny legs tightly secured around his waist, you felt the head of his cock slowly sink deep inside of you, inch by very inch. It didn’t take long to adjust down onto his size, but Oh. My. God. He was huge and perfect in size. You could take him like a pro, not having a bit of a problem at all. His jaw had dropped, and his head threw back, moaning blissfully. 
‘’Oh, my fucking god, lady bug. How are you taking all of me so good?’’ He moaned deeply, sending shrilled shivers up your spine, thrusting his hips up for a better angle to send you off the edge. Biting down on your bottom lip, you wailed out his name repeatedly. Adam felt so fucking good inside you, you were unable to coherent words into sentences from being so cock drunk off of him. 
‘’I love you, oh my god!’’ You cried, your walls beginning to clamp around his cock. 
‘’Could do this all night, such a pretty, pretty girl. How did I get this lucky to have a pretty girl like you?’’ He breathlessly chuckled, staring deeply into your e/c eyes, while a gleam of sweat rolled down the side of his face. He looked so good hot and bothered for you, his face fell into your moon lit collarbones, making your pussy throb furiously once he reached your spot. 
‘’Tell me how good I make you fucking feel. Use your words.’’ 
‘’You make me feel beyond good! I’m going to cum, ah!’’ You warned, but not doing so until you had the green light to do it. 
When you were about to hit your highs, Adam pulled out of you, bending you over his knee and his palm striking your ass once more.  
‘’P-please let me cum!’’ You begged, looking up at the Canadian man with short hair, who was laughing at you. 
‘’Not until you make me cum first.’’  
Such a tease. 
Adam ravishingly spanked you again before bringing you down to give him what he wanted in the past 2 months, the thing he was craving from you was your mouth around his cock. 
Your head pushed down onto him with no hesitating offer, you bobbed your head up and down rapidly until you hit the end of his dick. He groaned your name, pulling your head closer on him, gagging while saliva poured from out of your hollowed mouth and onto your breasts. He grasped your h/c locks, shooting his seed inside your mouth. Managing to swallow all of it, your jet-black mascara streamed down your rosy cheeks. 
‘’D-damn, did I hurt you?’’ He panted loudly, kneeling down at your level, grasping the back of your head. 
‘’No, babe. You didn’t hurt me. It was... intense.’’ You trailed off for a second, breaking eye contact with him. 
‘’As in a good intense or bad intense...?’’ He tried to fight the words out of you, but you just weren’t quite ready to tell him exactly how you felt because of your dragged, shallowed breaths. 
‘’It’s okay, ladybug. Let’s get cleaned up.’’ He helped you off of your knees, sitting you down in one of the private jet passenger seats, bringing you some wipes and a baby blue towel to wipe you up. He carefully wiped you down with care, he kissed your inner thigh, making you slightly hum. It went from ‘’Call me daddy’’ to ‘’I’ll take good care of you, princess’’ mode for Adam himself. He instantly switched gears from being a dominant partner, to a love and caring boyfriend who just wanted the best for his girlfriend. 
Your eyebrows raised as it realized to be that he was being so gentle with you. The way he swept the wipe against your skin and drying you off as gently as possible was the reason why you loved him. Exhaling a dragged sigh, you angled your legs up so he could help finish cleaning you up. The Rated R Superstar brought your legs down, and got up off of his knees and leaned down so he could kiss you goodnight.  
‘’Get some rest, baby.’’ He smiled brightly, covering him and you up in a blanket.  
‘’Goodnight Adam, I love you.’’ 
‘’I love you too.’’ 
The very next day, you appeared to have transferred from the private jet and into Adam’s moving car. Groggily rubbing your eyes, your phone lit up. Grabbing your phone, you yawned and swiped down to read a text message from Dominik Mysterio: 
‘’Hi YN. Hope all is well.’’ 
‘’Hey, yeah, I am just in the car with Adam at the moment appearing to drive home.’’ You texted, then putting your phone face down on your lap. 
‘’Somebody must’ve had a good nap.’’ Your boyfriend jokingly said that alarmed you, then turning to focus in on the road. 
You fumbled with your pearly white shoelaces, flashbacking to last night at SummerSlam in Nashville, Tennessee. Adam’s return to the WWE was absolutely mind blowing, you were the proudest girlfriend to have ever lay eyes on The Rated R Superstar. You were glad he joined forces with Rey and Dominik Mysterio once again, the old him but with a new look had returned. You were just lucky to have a man like him by your side at all times. 
Adam put on his turn signal to turn into the street of his home in Asheville, North Carolina. Once you knew it before your very eyes, you were home with him. Pulling up in the driveway of his house, he parked, opening the car door hopping out of his car and then opening the passenger door car to help you out. You thanked him, following behind him as he clutched his keys in one hand to unlock the door to his house. Welcoming you to walk inside first, your eyes skimmed around the living room. Wow, you thought. How nice and aesthetically pleasing the house looking just by your eyes skimming around. You got lost by wandering over to the kitchen, footsteps heavy, your breath was taken away only by the sight of how OCD styled the kitchen looked. Everything neatly stacked in the coverts, including the bright silver-stained knives, forks, and spoons in the drawers of the kitchen. 
‘’Wow.’’ You mouthed, arms then found their way to your waist, pulling you in closely. 
‘’I tend to keep my house clean every so often, you know?’’ His lips tugged into a smile, his head leaning down to purse his lips on your shoulder. Your lungs inhaled the scent of his cologne, it drove you off the wall when he had kissed your shoulders and your sensitive collarbones.  
‘’Yeah, I can tell just by looking at it. You do a really good job.’’ You replied, a hum in satisfaction escaped through you while he continued his attack on your collarbones, teeth gently grazing over your flesh. God fucking damn it, Adam. The burning, passionate sensation became overruling in the heat in between your legs, all you thought about was how he became to be a better boyfriend to you, and how the two of you were going to end The Judgment Day for good. Your mind was swarmed with good, positive thoughts, getting vengeance on Finn, Damian, and Rhea was now on your mind 24/7. You couldn’t procrastinate any longer, you needed to act on it as quickly as possible this coming Monday Night Raw. 
***SKIP TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW*** 
You walked around the backstage area, to check on Adam. Knocking on his locker room door, the door opened within a few seconds.  
‘’Hi honey, what can I do for you?’’ He smiled, leaning his upper body weight against his locker room door. 
‘’Hi babe, I just wanted to tell you to be careful out there. And please keep your eyes peeled, I don’t want anything bad happening to you again.’’ You encouraged, standing on your tippy toes and kissing him on the forehead. 
‘’Trust me, YN. I won’t let anything bad happen. I know all of their silly little games. You won’t see me in a neck brace ever again as far as I am concerned.’’ He winked at you. Something was going to happen tonight, and you weren’t feeling so sure about it. 
‘’Okay. Like I said, just please be cautious. I love you.’’ You gave him a quick peck on the lips before walking away. Your heart pounded violently out of your chest, leaning against a nearby wall, you heard inaudible voices from behind you. Shit, shit. That was your cue to run. 
‘’Where do ya think you’re going, YN?’’ Rhea taunted, Finn and Damian walking by her side, you were outnumbered. 
‘’ADAM!’’ You yelled for your boyfriend, backing away as quickly as possible. 
‘’Rhea, Damian, I think I need you guys to go elsewhere. I got YN.’’ Finn said, a frustrated groan came out of Rhea and Damian both, as they walked away from the two of you.  
You were left with Finn Balor, who couldn’t be trusted as much as them.  
‘’What do you want, Finn?’’ You asked, crossing your arms into your chest. 
‘’You know, YN. I have been wanting to do this with you for quite a while now,’’ He trailed off, his ocean blue eyes spearing into yours's. 
The lump in your throat grew hard, you had no idea what was next for you. Finn chuckled darkly, looking away for a split second, his eyes met yours's again. You were silent, but was being quiet instead of screaming your lungs out for help the best option? 
‘’Leave me alone, please Finn.’’ You pleaded quietly, not even giving him a bit of acknowledgement. His lips eagerly met yours's, you closed your eyes shut, slightly giving in. 
‘’What the fuck?’’ a voice scowled suddenly; it was Adam. 
‘’Hey, hey. Take it easy, man. She was doing you a favor, and being my bitch for the night.’’ Finn spat, laughing at a now pissed off Adam Copeland. 
‘’Fuck you!’’ He screamed, pushing The Judgment Day leader to the ground with force, punching him in the face. 
‘’Adam! Please!’’ You yelled, trying to get him off of Finn Balor before things turned uglier. 
‘’What is all the ruckus going on?!’’ Rey appeared with his son Dominik rushing to the scene, they were shocked to see a bloodied-up Finn. 
‘’This is not over, Adam!’’ Finn screamed, retreating and stumbling off into the distance. 
‘’Damn, you fucked him up good.’’ Dominik commented to Adam, who was huffing and puffing. 
‘’Let’s go, YN. I will see you guys around.’’ Adam drug you out by your arm, and into his locker room to push you down on the couch. 
‘’You really thought I was going to let Finn do this shit to you?” He rebelliously said, hands resting on either side of the burgundy couch, eyes on you. 
‘’No, Adam.’’ Was all you could choke out, eyes slightly tearing up. 
‘’I saw him fucking kiss you the way he did. He’s such a nasty son of a bitch.’’ He stammered, running his hands through his short, blonde hair. 
‘’I--- I know. I am sorry, Adam. I should’ve done something to protect myself from him---’’  
He abbreviatedly cut you off. 
‘’Damn right you should’ve. A promo is calling my name, and I have to go out there now and face the crowd.’’ He grabbed the hem of your shirt, his lips roughly crashing onto yours's. You tasted his tongue which was beginning to devour you whole. Pulling away, he breathlessly said the words: ‘’Finn will never get to have you like I do. Never.’’ 
You nodded, in amazement of how much he can knock the wind out of your lungs by kissing you like he did just now. 
‘’You think you know me?’’ 
His entrance music hit, the crowd went insane due to the long gone ‘’Metalingus.’’ No longer ‘’The Other Side’’ since Damian, Rhea, and Finn took over that theme song. He ran out with a passion, doing what he does best. Not only for him, but for the fans that were in Houston Texas that night as well. Remembering calling the fans ‘’sheep’’ and demanding them to ‘’rise for the judgment day’’ wasn’t really the true Adam you knew. He smiled at the camera, acting like nothing happened between you and Finn. You watched his body language, how his body language was fake, his smile to the crowd was a bit of a fake one. Knowing he was a bit pissed off, and not wanting to put up with anybody’s bullshit, especially Finn Balor’s. He was known to be over protective of you, on and off camera. No matter the circumstances, he made sure he made it well known that only he can have you, no one else can. Not even Finn, not even his friend Damian Priest. 
‘’Finn, Damian, Rhea, I’m going to end The Judgment Day.’’
Was an understatement he was going to make happen pretty soon. He was a man of his word, nobody as crazy as The Rated R Superstar could dismantle The Judgment Day and tear them apart limb by limb. Hell, if it took Rey, Dominik, and Adam to have a three-on-three situation, then so be it.  
‘’That’s damn right, baby!’’ You called out, clapping your hands and cheering for your already not in a good mood boyfriend. You knew in your soul he was going to get his hands on Finn for what he did to you backstage which was uncalled for, he wasn’t happy go lucky with you either. Which you respected in every aspect possible. Because he would never do anything to hurt you at all. Trusting in your gut that he still loves and cares about you, you walked back into his locker room and waited for his return. 
Tumblr media
Later that night, Adam was chasing after Damian and Finn in the distance after accidentally spearing Dominik, who seemed to have had it pretty hard. You rushed to the ring, and checked on him alongside with Rey. 
‘’Is he going to be okay?’’ You inquired to WWE Personnel's, looking down in concern on Dominik. 
‘’I am sure he is going to be just fine, YN.’’ Adam Pearce replied, giving an unsure look to you. 
Lies. 
You helped an injured Dominik out of the ring with his father Rey, shoving Adam Pearce out of the way as the crowd in Houston watching on in complete silence, whispering to one another about how Adam Copeland ‘’accidentally’’ speared Dominik when he was supposed to spear Damian Priest instead. An ungodly thing to do to your friend, for heavens sake since it was done on accident. When you, Rey, and Dominik hit backstage, you have seen Finn and Damian knocked out cold on the solid concrete ground. 
''Oh my god. Oh my god.'' You repeatedly said, a crazed Adam must've done this.
‘’Get some help out here, will you!?’’ Adam Pearce called from checking on Dominik Mysterio, to part of The Judgment Day being violently laid out by your boyfriend. Who in god's green earth knew where Rhea Ripley had hid.
Rolling your eyes at the treatment they were giving Damian and Finn, it was unbelievable that they got this much attention, and Dominik didn’t. He might’ve broken his ribs, but who cares, right? 
‘’Yeah, this is a bunch of BS. You guys should’ve treated Dominik for broken ribs. Let’s get out of here, guys.’’ You walked over their lifeless bodies, getting to your car and driving off with Rey in the passenger side and Dominik in the back of the car. 
Rey crooned his neck to check on his son, who was clutching at his ribs from the devastating spear he received, and the assault from The Judgment Day. 
‘’It’ll be okay, son. Just hang in there, okay?’’ He said with worry in his eyes behind the  mask he was wearing. 
‘’I’m hanging in there, father.’’ Dominik winced, giving a weak ‘’thumbs up’’ signal to his worried father figure. 
A call had come through your phone while you were driving. 
‘’My Rated R Superstar <3’’ 
It was Adam. 
You swiped the accept call button on your screen to answer: 
‘’Hello? Babe? Where are you?’’ 
‘’Hi, honey. I’m at *insert random address place here*. Before you get here, you need to drop Rey and Dominik off. I need to have a chat with you alone.’’ His voice dripped in an erotic tone. 
‘’YN, who’s that on the phone?” Rey asked, trying to listen in closely. 
‘’No one don’t worry about it, Rey. And okay, on it.’’ You hung up as soon as Rey was reaching for your phone to grab it out of your hand. 
‘’Stop it, I’m a grown ass woman.’’ You growled, pushing the phone in your back pocket. 
Rey sighed, and folded his arms across his chest not saying another word. You pulled up by a near hotel which was probably around where Adam was at. 
‘’Here we are, Rey, I need you to take care of Dominik and I will give you the money to check into this hotel. I’ll be back tomorrow morning to pick you guys up. Here’s your luggage.’’ You stated, grabbing their luggage. 
‘’Besides, my boyfriend is calling for me.’’  
‘’Wait, wait. Where’s Adam?’’ Dominik questioned in curiosity, while you handed his father the suitcases they took with them. 
‘’Oh, don’t worry about it please. I’m sure he’s fine. I will let you both know tomorrow morning,’’ You gave a weak smile, waving goodbye to Dominik and Rey walking through the hotel doors.  
Now, you got to go see where Adam’s location was at to see what he wanted. You got into your car again, turning the key to the ignition of your car, turning on your GPS and speeding out of the hotel driveway. 
‘’Take the next right onto **** Drive’’. The GPS told you, you took the next right onto where it was telling you to go. Soon as you took a right onto the next street, your eyes scanned through the scenery of the street. It was a bit foggy out, your headlights had shone against the fog, it was around 10pm at night. The insects of the night were screaming, the moon light was far from different than before. Maybe you were dreaming. 
Anxiously driving your car with two hands gripped around the black leather steering wheel, your heart fluttered up your throat, one minute until you hit where your partner is, you added in your head.  
The minute had passed before you knew it.
‘’Your destination is on the left.’’
‘’Arrived.’’
‘’Here goes nothing.’’ You blurted aloud.
You felt your own two feet walk up upon the creaky stairs of the porch, not recognizing whose house this belonged to. Your fist shakily knocked on the door, a large shadow came up to the door, and swung the door open, grabbing you with force – your heart dropped to the floor and you’ve heard the same door you knocked on seconds ago slammed behind you.
‘’Welcome, YN.’’ a Canadian male voice greeted. The light flickered on, Christian?
‘’I--- I didn’t know you moved?’’ You questioned reality, thinking you were going insane as you saw his eyebrows furrow down.
‘’Oh, didn’t I tell you over text a few minutes ago that Adam was not going to be here alone?’’
Okay...
Pulling out your phone from out of your purse, you looked at the text Christian had unexpectedly sent you. You haven’t heard or seen Christian in over 2 years since he departed from WWE and joined AEW. He looked about the same, but his attitude was a bit different.
‘’He wanted to have a talk with me...? Where is he?’’ You looked beside Christian’s shoulder, a 6’5 male figure came from out of the kitchen.
‘’There he is, now the two of you can go have a talk, I will be right back.’’ Christian announced, patting you on the back of the shoulder, leaning in your ear to whisper: ‘’Nice seeing you again.’’ Then giving you a cheap quickened peck on the cheek.
Your cheeks flushed, shaking off the smell of wine lingering from Christian’s breath, your eyes narrowed toward Adam, a tsk came out of him at his best friend.
‘’Christian really doesn’t know any better, does he?’’ He joked regarding the small peck on the cheek Christian gave you, setting his coffee cup down onto the marbled kitchen counter.
‘’I suppose, also were you drinking with him just now?’’ You inquired, pointing at the cup he sat down on the counter resting flat on the surface beside him.
‘’Me? No, don't be silly my little ladybug.’’ He welcomed you with his arms extended, walking towards you. You hugged the back of his neck, your nose burned from the smell of blood red wine split on the same red jacket he was wearing at SummerSlam.
‘’Adam, you can be honest. Were you drinking?’’ You took a step back away from the love of your life, who seemed to be acting a bit off. He scratched the nape of his neck, and let out a frustrated sighed.
‘’Okay, fine. You caught me red handed. I drank only a little sip of wine and that’s it. Besides, I’m a coffee drinker.’’ He explained, you scowled at him instead of accepting the fact he had a drink with his long-time best friend, Christian Cage.
You gritted your teeth together, not getting too pissed off at him to the point where you had to walk away from it all.
‘’YN....’’ Adam voiced, tugging your arm to signal you to stay with him.
‘’I still need to have that talk with you,’’
‘’Promise me one thing, you will be honest with me from now on?’’ Your voice dripping in distress, finding his large hands and pressing them into yours’s.
‘’I promise. Anything I can do to improve myself to become a better man for you, dear.’’
Worry and regret washed over the face of The Rated R Superstar, he never wanted to lose you over something stupid like this. In his gut, he wanted to have a care-free life with the love of his life, which was you. All he needed was that special, trustable, and bondable relationship in his life. Despite having bad luck with his other girlfriends, you were probably the only one who understood him to the fullest. The grandfather clock hanging up on the wall in Christian’s Livingroom had just now struck 11pm. Trusting in your gut about the talk he was about to have with you, you closed your eyes.
‘’Okay, I’m ready to talk.’’ You announced, eyes sewn shut as a visible smile tugged onto his pillowy lips. A calloused hand rested on your waist before gliding up on your broad shoulder. Was there something more added to it that you just weren’t aware of? He kept quiet, his every move was swift and sympathetic.
‘’I don’t think talking means a whole lot, baby doll. I want to show you with action on how I exactly feel.’’ His whisper lingered in your ear, sending you off cloud nine. Your hands blindly moved down to his belt buckle, attempting to unbuckle his belt right when he grabbed your hand, pushing it away.
‘’No. I said what I said, I believe it is my turn to make you feel good.’’ Keeping his word, Adam’s teeth nipped at your skin, your moan shivered from out of you while he continued to feel you up like the night when the two of you fucked in the private jet you rented for the night just to get away from both of your troubles. You were backed into the kitchen counter, he lifted you up by your ass, his lips smashed onto the nape of your neck.
‘’Fuck, w-what if Christian catches us?’’ You moaned in between your words, thoughts swimming around the thought about getting caught having sex in the middle of his own kitchen.
‘’Stop worrying so damn much, baby doll. If he were to catch us right here, I’d suggest you go lock that door so he cannot get in to his own house.’’
Evil is what evil does.
You snickered, hopping off of the counter, dashing to the entrance door of his home, peaking out to make sure he wasn’t really home. You proceeded to lock the door, running back over to an already aroused Adam Copeland and jumping on the kitchen counter again. His palm smacked the surface of your ass, growling in your ear to get you high off of him. Rubbing you through your clothed crotch, his fingers linked into the waistband of your leggings, sliding them off of you so you could kick them completely off. Leaning down, his mouth devoured your thighs, sucking on them harshly to give you hickeys.
‘’Fuck!’’ You verbalized, throwing your head back in an arousing way. That was why he was called The Rated R Superstar, because every time you would have sex with him, he made sure to give you one hell of a show. Panting, you gripped the edge of the kitchen counter in which you were still sat upon. His mouth moved from the bottom of your thighs, up to your pussy.
Eyes rolling spontaneously, your body was quivering underneath him automatically when he ate your pussy out like a man that was starving. His tongue lapped up your juices flowing out of you, his hums and groans vibrated on you sending you straight to heaven. Scratching and clawing at the back of his neck, your nails dug deep into his skin until you climaxed all over his neatly trimmed beard and face.
‘’How was it?’’ He withdrawed, with those mesmerizing hazel green eyes looking up at you innocently.
‘’It.... was fantastic.’’ You drawled, softly smiling.
‘’Hey, I’m glad I can make you feel good, better than Finn can anyway.’’ Adam remarked, chuckling.
‘’Nobody can make me feel good as you can, baby.’’
Authors Note: This took over 5 or 6 days to complete this, holy fucking shit. I can’t believe I finally completed this! Anywho, hope you guys loved reading. ;)

04/06/2022 - Day 1
The location for the group to meet was just a stones throw from Pegasus bridge located in Bénouville. Here we met some familiar faces from a previous BF4x4 tour we did a few years ago. As always an introduction and agenda was shared where most of this tour will be spent in the Calvados (Normandy) area. Today's agenda Pegasus Bridge Memorial Ranville War Cemetery Colleville-Montgomery - The Hillman Fortress Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery Arromanches-les-Bains - The Mulberry Harbour/Port Winston
Memorial Pegasus  As you would've guessed our first stop was indeed Pegasus bridge memorial/museum, now i'd imagine most would know this but the original captured bridge has been relocated away from the canal and the one you drive/walk over is a replica. The site is dedicated to the men of the British 6th Airborne Division who were the first Allied troops to arrive in Normandy on the night of the 5th/6th of June 1944 where a small detachment of the 6th British Airborne Division surprised the German garrison guarding the bridges. The BF4x4 guides arranged for a guided tour to walk us through step by step how the assault unfolded and we were even lucky enough to meet a veteran - Well worth a visit.
Ranville War Cemetery
1.4 kilometres down the ride (3 minute drive) is the Ranville War Cemetery. Ranville was the first village to be liberated in France when the bridge over the Caen Canal was captured intact in the early hours of 6th June by troops of the 6th Airborne Division, who were landed nearby by parachute or glider. Many of the division's casualties are buried in Ranville War Cemetery.
The cemetery contains around 2,236 Commonwealth burials of WW2, 90 of them unfortunately are unidentified and 323 German graves. The churchyard also contains 47 Commonwealth burials, one of which is unidentified, and one German grave.
One grave of interest was of Private Emile Corteil, he was from Watford in Hertfordshire and served with A Company, 9th (Essex) Parachute Battalion. Corteil was the dog handler for the company, and his dog was called Glen. Both parachuted into France with their company on D Day, Emile was killed on D Day aged 19 years; Glen was also killed and the two were found lying together.
Colleville-Montgomery - The Hillman Fortress
From Ranville we head 7.5km northwest to The Hillman Fortress which sits south of the town Collevill-Montgomery. The Hillman Fortress was a command post among the German coastal defences on the Normandy beaches which was built between 1942 and 1944.
The 1st Battalion, Suffolk Regiment liberated the site on the 6th of June 1944 but took longer than expected. The delay in taking the bunker complex has been cited as a reason for the Allies not completing their major D-Day objective of taking Caen. We were fortunate to experience a camp reenactment, this entailed enthusiasts dressing up as allies and Germans with decommissioned weapons and WW2 vehicles. 1940's radio's playing war speeches and also the Jive music like 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy' by The Andrews Sisters. It's honestly awesome to be amongst it and i'm sure many have got bitten by the reenactment bug. Once we had completed many laps of the camp and the fortress we has a spot to eat in the back of the 110 mainly cheese, ham and baguette (continental lunch) before heading off to our next destination of the day.
Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery
Whilst in convoy heading west over the CB radio Keith informs us that we will be stopping off at another war cemetery, but this contains mostly Canadians. Many of those buried were of the 3rd Canadian Division who died either on 6th June or during the early days of the advance towards Caen, when the Division engaged the German 716th Division and the 21st Panzer Divisions. As you look around any war cemetery it is hard to really comprehend that each headstone represents a lost life and though i'm stating the obvious it's just an overwhelming experience.
Arromanches-les-Bains - The Mulberry Harbour/Port Winston
And just when you thought the day was drawing to an end, when arriving at our accommodation for the next couple of nights which is the very nice Chateau de Bellefontaine. The guys at BF4x4 explained after checking in and freshening up we have a table booked at La Marine which overlooks Gold beach, where the remains of the Mulberry Harbour/Port Winston lie. It was part of mission overlord, where the objectives at Gold Beach were to - Secure a beachhead - Move west to capture Arromanches  - Establish contact with the American forces at Omaha - Capture Bayeux and the small port at Port-en-Bessin - Link up with the Canadian forces at Juno to the east
The forces attacking Gold beach faced the German 352nd Infantry Division and German 716th Infantry Division and there were around 350 ally fatalities.
Mulberry "B" (British) was the harbour assembled on Gold Beach at Arromanches for use by the British/Canadian forces. The harbour was decommissioned 6 months after D-Day as the Allies were able to use the recently captured Antwerp port. The harbour was operated by 20 Royal Engineers under the command of Lt. Col. G C B Shaddick.
That will be enough about the history, the food at La Marine was fantastic and the on the house calvados shot (cider brandy) definitely opened up the airways. Based on Day 1... tomorrow is going to be another epic day.

On June 14th, SM announced a new single will be dropped the week of the Seoul concerts.
The song, Future Starts Now (Kim Petras), was released on June 19th with Korean and English versions

Encore in Seoul (3 nights: Nov 4th - 6th)
Stage setup
AG's stage consists of the main stage, a ramp and the extended stage. The extended stage is rectangle shaped that's slightly curved making the entire stage look like an umbrella
To the side of the main stage is a tube that is measuring Dream-ergy (explained in the VCR Info section)
On the main stage is a huge circle with a lighting rig surrounding it. Most of it is a screen but in the middle section there are movable screens for the girls to walk on and off stage. Two stationary screens sit on either side of the circle as well
The seats between the main and extended stages were reserved for NCTzen AG - ACE members only
Premise of the show
The audience somehow ended up in The Flat. Their collective dreams of seeing AG brought them there.
The members fight a grey mechanic shark, hell bent on destroying dreams, including yours. This shark can use its mouth to bite portals to other dreams
The girls chase the shark through the different dreams of AGzens. While fighting off this monster they also have to collect enough Dream-ergy to send the audience back to earth. 
Throughout the show, the lights in the stadium will shift between green/blue/white and pink/purple/orange. While the lights are pink/purple, it means the audience is hearing from AG in story. While the lights are green/blue, the audience is hearing from the real members of AG, no storyline involvement
VCR Info
Before the opening VCR a ‘Welcome To The Show’ video greets the audience where the girls go over the rules of the concert as if you were attending a movie or Broadway show.
Opening VCR
Sidenote for this VCR: I'm saying you cause the girls are talking directly to the camera. In a way they are breaking the fourth wall talking to you or the audience. So thats what I mean when I say you.
In the stadium, the lights and screens on the stage show a city background. Filled with people navigating the roads, entering in and out of businesses, driving down the street, etc. As it gets closer to showtime, the stadium lights slowly turn color until the whole venue is engulfed with pink lights. On the screen the cityscape is replaced with a pink swirling vortex that overtakes the cityscape giving the illusion of moving backwards into something.
When it hits showtime, the view is warped as you start to spin around. Then, you're shot out of the other side onto a new planet. The grass is pink, floating platforms of silver suspended in the air, bouncy up and down. Green, blue, purple and pink blobs of goo recreate clouds. the corner of the screen has coordinates and the planet's name, The Flat. 
Suddenly, an explosion goes off. The view whips around to a battle between four girls and a huge mechanical shark. One of the girls is swatted away by the sharks fin. She flies through the air landing right in front of you. Groaning, she rolls over and sits up on her knees. The girl turns toward you and you recognize its Hannah.
Hannah looks at you, puzzled and concerned, “You’re not supposed to be here." Hannah helps you stand "That shark can create portals to different universes. If you were to get sucked into one, we might not be able to find you.” Hannah alerts the other girls of your presence, telling them to watch out for you. “Alright we can’t send you back right now but stay close and stay low.” 
You follow Hannah as she joins the fight once again. Just as the girls start to get the upper hand. The monster roars, snapping its teeth together. Aurora darts away, narrowly missing her arm getting chomped. A portal opens behind you and AG. You and the members are pulled into the swirling blue vortex. Placed in a different universe, the girls are now in their first costumes for the concert. A staff member pops in, letting AG know they have five minutes until showtimes. 
Moxy notices you swaying back and forth and asks "Are you okay?". AG tries to go back but their powers aren't working. Juno figures until they get more dream-ergy(energy from dreams) they can't jump through the necessary portals to get back to The Flat and the monster. "There's no way we can open a portal that big without Naevis' help. And she's MIA."
AG asks you to help them collect Dream-ergy so they can get you and themselves back to The Flat. In order to start collecting Dream-ergy, AG must insert themselves into the dream fully. The girls inform you they won’t notice you until they pull themselves out of the dream. "We won't be able to talk to you anymore once were in." "Don't be scared, If you stay close we'll know you're there."
The members close their eyes. In a flash the girls are fully settled into the dream, not even acknowledging you anymore. "What are we waiting for? It's Showtime!!" From there, you follow them as they walk from their dressing room through the halls of the venue. They pick up jackets, bracelets, and microphones on the way to the stage. On the side screens, a new VCR plays, introducing the girls as they walk through the giant portal like entrance in the middle of the stage to start the show.
Young and Proud VCR (the original song is by Ace Of Base)
In this VCR, AG are in a dance room, dressed how they would before they debut. In no name-brand, baggy clothes.
Throughout the video, instead of seeing themselves as they are. In the refection of the mirror, the girls see themselves in outfits they have worn for past comebacks
The girls chose this as one of their VCR songs because Young and Proud is the first dance they choreographed by themselves.
Take A Hint VCR (the original song is by the Victorious Cast)
The members are at a diner, where there are a bunch of sleazy guys leering at them. For awhile they ignore them until one puts his brave face on, approaches the booth and tries to talk to Hannah. The girls look equally disgusted then they begin to sing.
The members dance around the diner, patrons and workers all joining in. The group of guys are so oblivious, partying along to the song. They don't even realize the girls are singing about them.
Once the song ends, the guy from earlier tries to speak but is interrupted by a car horn. Outside in a jeep, sits several members of NCT. Mark in the drivers seat waves the girls outside. AG says goodbye to the boy and his friends then head out, holding back their laughs until the door closes.
All About Us VCR (the original song is by T.a.T.u)
In this VCR, the girls are dressed like they're Ladies in Bridgerton. The girls have been sent to retrieve a crown that's making this dream into a nightmare
A party is going on and the members take the chance to go retrieve the crown but are stopped by their 'dates'. Their dates whisk them away to the dance floor. The crown is brought out for all the partygoers to see.
To distract the room from the crown, the girls bring their dates to the middle of the ballroom, inviting them to dance. As the song begins, AG sings along drawing the partygoers onto the ballroom floor with them. The choreography looks like it was ripped from a scene in Bridgerton.
During the climax of the song, all the girls are able to escape their dates and descend on the crown. As song ends, the girls are able to toss the crown through a portal and close it. AG escape thru another portal and leave the dream just as their dates reach the stage.
AG's Dates: Moxy = Johnny, Aurora = Renjun, Hannah = Ten, Juno = Jungwoo
Wonder VC (the original song by Emeli Sande)
This VCR shows behind the scenes clips of the girls' process while preparing for this tour.
The unnies filming dance videos for Aurora to watch while she's on the road with Dream
Aurora using every free moment she has with Dream to learn these dances, sometimes with Jisung helping her.
The members shooting the opening VCR. Hannah laughing while they test the system that will pull her across the room.
Aurora and Juno asleep while getting their hair done.
Juno and Moxy swaying in their dresses for the All About Us VCR
The girls monitoring a scene they just shot.
Moxy laying an icepack on her lower thigh.
The girls in their final fitting for the stage outfits.
The members arriving for the final rehearsals before the show.
The clips are intercut with new video footage of AG singing on top of a skyscraper's Helipad. It's the same helipad that Girls Generation performed Genie on Music Core

Show Ending
Once the girls are backstage again, The Dreamergy Collector whizzes on. It beeps three times before the collected Dreamergy is released. The pink energy flows through the tubes that connect to the portal on stage. The portal powers on and the scene is still on the Flat.
From backstage, the girls sing a verse of The Parting Glass as the lights in the area turn from pink to green and the portal takes the audience back to the real world
Of all the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company (Juno) And all the harm that e'er I've done Alas, it was to none but me (Hannah) And all I've done for want of wit To memory now, I can't recall (Aurora) So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all (Moxy, On the word joy, the girls sing in four part harmony)

Extra(s)
Before the Show
Outside the Seoul venue was an area for fans to relax, play and take pictures before the concert starts
At the end of the area was a stage with a screen that played various music videos the members have participated in. SM organized a random play dance for fans on all three days
Near the SM building is a pop-up to celebrate AG's first concert tour. It was called Time Of Day: The Exhibition. In the exhibit, scenes from AG's music videos have been recreated for fans to walk thru. The members costumes for each video are displayed for fans to see up close. At the end is a gift shop where all of AG's albums are available for purchase again
Interesting fact about the pop up, The one album that sold the most copies is tied between Time Of Day (the full album) and Time of Day: Noon
At every show, including those outside of Korea, there is a booth that sells photocards from previous AG albums for any poca collectors
Tour merch is tie dye themed. The colors chosen represent each member’s color. Here is the list of goods being sold: Three T-shirts(one cropped), One long sleeve shirt, Two hoodies (one cropped), a bag, a bandana, a photocard set and a pin set
AG set a dress code for each day of the Seoul Concerts. Day 1 was signature colors. Day 2 was pajama/loungewear. Finally Day 3 was black, white and green.
Songs played before the show starts: Say Ok, Circle Game, Technically Single and Fly. Fans know the concert is about to start when I’ll Be There starts to play
You know that running joke of NCT being friendless outside of their group members. AG can no longer be included in that conversation after the concerts in Seoul.
Who knew all it took to unite the kpop world was Bruno Mars or AG.
One day 1, I swear all of SM was there. Boa, Taeyeon and Hyoyeon came together. Eunhyuk, Leetuck, Donghae and surprisingly Kyuhyun were in attendance. All of Red Velvet and Aespa were there. Taemin and Minho arrived together. Kai even got time off to attend the concert with Baekhyun and Chen
And you already know there was a whole section of seats blocked off for NCT use only. Each day one of the units was in attendance. Day 1 was for 127, Day 2 was WayV's turn and finally on day 3 was for Dream
On days 2 and 3, idols from all over the industry came to support the girls. Stray Kids, WJSN, Seventeen, Ateez, Xdinary Heroes, Treasure, Itzy, Kepler, BB Girls, Loona, Hyolyn, Tiffany and Seohyun. I could go on.
The biggest surprise was the appearance of Jungkook, Jimin and Taehyung of BTS. The screams that erupted from Armyzen's in the crowd were deafening. This was by far the biggest talking point on twitter. All netizens wanted to know how this friendship came to be.
It was revealed on one of the dancers Instagram's that the girls and their dancers play musical statues to loosen up before a performance.
Showtime!!
When the girls walked out of the portal for the first time, The crowd went BANANAS!! On day 1, Hannah had visible tears in her eyes. Weirdly, the girls stood at the top of the ramp soaking in the cheers from the fans before the music kicked in
The show director posted on Instagram that she gave AG fifteen extra seconds to feel the moment before starting the show
For Juno, this was her first concert. Reasonably she was in awe. At times, fans caught her just smiling out into the crowd with the most joyful expression
As soon as they reached the first Mnet, the girls were crawling to the places. Moxy even said "Whoever thought it was a good idea to put all our dance heavy songs in the beginning...we gotta talk."
The crowd couldn't get enough of the solo/duet section. Neither of the duet tracks had been performed before so the nerves were quiet high with the girls.
Moxy and Juno's Be There choreography was a sight to behold. At every turn, it looked like one member could fall only for the other to catch them. Creating a dance the fit the tone of the song perfectly
The dance for Let Me Move You was so much fun. Hannah and Aurora couldn't stop smiling the whole time. Fans later found out Moxy and Hannah choreographed the dance with the help of Bada Lee
Each of the girls solo performances proved their talents to fans across the world. Each girl never being swallowed by the stage. Not the slightest bit afraid to stand alone and sing. Moxy's solo stage is the only one fans had seen before so everyone in the stadium were excited to see Juno, Hannah and Aurora murder the stage
Juno's stage was the cutest. While simple, History's dance really showed the singers improvements. Juno danced with a male dancer telling story of the song
The On + Off stage was beautiful. The entire stage and venue was bathed in white lights. Aurora was seated on the floor, knees bent and arms wrapped around them, while dancers filled the stage and worked around her. At different times, the dancers would physically pull her to different spots. Only for Aurora to assume her previous position again. Fans called the performance powerful. A testament to Aurora's talent a performer
Hannah had the fans in a chokehold with her sexy performance of Let Me Get Me. Hannah had all female dancers with her. The most iconic moment was Hannah stopping the music after the first chorus, strutting down the ramp then dropping to the floor one leg out ala The Boys by GG
A fan favorite set was the girl group covers. Fans could get enough of how AG performed Genie. The members sang the song acapella. Dropping the back track in favor of letting their true voices shine through.
AG made it a point to give their dancers a moment of their own to show off their greatness. At every show, during Do It Like This, three different dancers got a chance to freestyle before the girls came back out to the stage.
Once the members boarded the carts during Liberty Walk, both carts make it a point to stop in front of the disabled section and give those fans a special moment
Luckily, no fans were harmed when the signed bouncy balls started being thrown.
Future Starts Now is a dance-pop song encouraging fans to go out and conquer the world. The message and title fit AG perfectly. At this point in their careers, their ready to close this book and start a new one, ready to take the world by storm. AG were having fun with the choreography. AGzen's said it felt like a Girls Generation choreography but AG-ified.
SLAP got new choreo shocking everyone. The move were matured, matching the growth AG have made in the past four years. The chorus dance still kept some moves but changed others, mixing the old and new into something different but welcome.
Fireworks were popped during Coloring Outside The Lines, painting the night sky. During Moxy's bridge part, fans could hear the emotions running thru the leader. The tears she held back.
Concertgoers let other fans who were attending the concert to stick around for the shows special ending. On day 1, a ton of fans missed the girls singing them home and wishing them safe travels.
During Day 2 and 3, the girls relaxed more, enjoying the moment. This was their first concert tour. the tour director posted a video of herself reminding the girls that concerts like this should be about making memories. They already know the show from top to bottom, it was time to have fun. Cause the fans have more fun when they do.
AG kept their composure during the ending mnet's on day 1 and 2. The floodgates opened during day 3
"When I left Hawaii, my dad didn't want me to go. He wanted me to stay, go to college there. I never understood what he was afraid of but I guess I won't know until I have my own kids. I think what sold the deal for him was when I said "I'm not leaving our 'ohana. I finding a new one." Now, my dad is here. First time he's every left the island and he got to met my new 'ohana. I got to tell him this is my family. We're broken but still good." Hannah
At that all the girls started crying. Moxy was wailing, "What the hell, Hannah! You can't just quote Lilo and Stitch at us!"
"I got in a huge fight with my brother the day I left Huston. I didn't understand why he didn't believe in me, in my talent. But...it wasn't that. He's been burned by this industry before. He just didn't want the same to happen to me. I think that's why I worked so hard to prove everyone, even myself, wrong.
I used to look up at the sky and beg for my own group. My own unit. I haven't done that in a long time because I realized......this is my group. This is my unit. AG is mine....and I promise to continue to give my 300% to making us a success." Juno
Aurora was silent for a moment before she started speaking
"I didn't know I'd feel the way I do right now. Standing here. Mark coming back, releasing two full albums then going on tour as seven felt like triumph. Like the boat we were on got past the rough water and we're finally sailing free." "This....feels like.......relief. In the best way. I don't know about unnies but for some reason the voice in back my head always told me this is temporary. This won't last. That while i gained security for one, i'm gonna lose the other in turn. Over the past three days, that voice finally went away. For the first time, I feel like this could last. This could stand the test of time and change. We plan to be around for a long time. Will you stick with us?.......Yeah? Good."
"You know....I thought I knew what I was going to say. But it all just escaped me. (long pause) I don't want to make you guys upset but this is whats weighing on me to tell you. There have been times when the girls and I will get ready for a show or a performance and think 'this is when it all goes wrong' or 'this is it.....for us' or even 'this time...they won't be there. This time they won't scream'. And every time I'm proven wrong. Every time we have to take ourselves out of that feeling because it doesn't matter if there's thousands of you or one of you. (Long pause) AG....exists....because...of you. We are standing here because of you. And I...We can't thank you enough. Thank you for wanting us. Thank you for accepting us. Thank you for demanding more. Thank you." "I use to pray for my own group of members. But I don't do that anymore. Cause this is my group. NCT is my group. These are my members. I found my place and its with these three women and twenty men. I'm okay" Moxy
On Day 3, after the girls performed Coloring Outside The Lines, the lights went down and a video began to play. The AG Korean Fan Union sent a video for AG to be played on the third day. In the video, the fans thanked AG for their hard work even when fan numbers were few. After the video finished, they turned around to a sea of banners that said "AGzen stand with AG till Liberty"
The girls were already teary eyed but the banner project pushed them over the edge. The day 3 mnet's pushed the fans over the edge. Tears were flowing on both sides.
During the tour, you can really tell how much both sides, AG and fans, care about each other and the success of the group
Moxy ends every show like she ends her vlive’s “Be safe, Be happy, Be healthy and most importantly, Be nice."
Differences between shows
The dress code chosen for the rest of the concerts was black, white and green. London and Toronto were the most coordinated cities. The fans going so far as to assign colors to different sections.
At the Japan shows, the cover songs have been changed to Japanese songs.
For the boy group covers: Gimme Gimme (NCT), Electric Kiss (EXO), Breaking News (SHINee), Opera (SuJu), Mirotic (TVXQ)
For the girl group covers: MASAYUME Chasing (BoA), Galaxy Supernova (SNSD), 4 Walls (F(x)), Wildside (Red Velvet), Black Mamba (Aespa)
For the Japan concert, AG released a debut mini album called Time Of Day: 時間 (Jikan, Time in Japanese). The album included five songs: four previously released and one new.
The new song is called COWBOY(by F(x)). Along with the mini album, a mv for COWBOY was released where the members are coaching a girl on how to win a boys heart, by being herself. In the setlist, COWBOY is performed between Do It Like This and Liberty Walk
The other four tracks are songs rerecorded in Japanese. SM looked at the Japan charting info to determine which ones would be translated and rerecordd. Those songs are: Breakout, Hit Me Up, Shut Up and Dance, Our Time Is Here.
Aurora was strangely emotional at the London shows. She didn't even cry at the shows in Seoul. But in London, fans were shocked when tears spilled out during her final mnet.
Later, in the London vlog, it was shown that Aurora's paternal family were all at the show. In a tearjerking moment, Aurora was embraced by her grandmother, someone she hasn't see in years.
During the U.S shoes, Future Starts Now and Something Like A Party are performed in English
While in Chicago, AG performed on the last day of Lollapalooza. They were on the BMI stage at 7:30-8:45. They didn't prepare anything special because of the tour but the girls packed a TON of songs into their time slot.
While Hannah's parents came to the Seoul show with all of AG parents, at the L.A show they brought Hannah's younger sisters to the show. The fans were so nice to them, giving them freebies and conversing with them.
After the show, The AG twitter account posted a video of the three sister embracing, tears on all their faces.
AG were unable to attend KCON in a performance capacity. They did hold a fansign hosted by hello82, though.
One fan asked if they watched WayV or Taeyong’s performance. Hannah revealed they had their manager screen record both sets so they could watch it back on the plane ride to LAX.
Taeyong and WayV attended AG’s last show in California. After the show, the members came backstage. Taeyong gave a speech to the girls, congratulating them on finishing the U.S. leg of the tour. Camera’s for AG’s instagram account filmed a part of the speech and posted it on their stories.
“I cannot express how proud I am of you four. You’ve grown as women and professionals. You all are blossoming before my eyes and the pride I feel every time I see you walk on stage is overwhelming.”
All the members of NCT flew back to Korea together, since the next week was NCT Nation
U.S fans put together another banner project for the second show in LA. This time, the fans used the video to congratulate AG on their achievements up till this point including selling out each stop in the U.S. leg of the tour.
At each of the girl's hometowns, Chicago, Houston, New York and California (for Hannah cause getting to Hawaii would be a logistics nightmare), management chose 25 attendees to come back stage and meet the girls in a private meet-n-greet. No filming was allowed but fans did get professional photos sent to them after the US leg finished.
While in Canada, the girls called Mark during their final mnet so he could greet the Canadian fans.
In Latin America, the girls perform a cover of Celoso by Lele Pons in full Spanish. Celoso was performed after Future Starts Now. On top of that, they changed Suju's Black Suit to Suju's Lo Siento in the boy group cover section
Online Tour Content
In every city the girls filmed vlogs of what they get up to while on tour. All of the highest viewed vlogs were in their respective hometowns.
Moxy's America food tour returned for another season. This time instead of tacos, the girls ate pizza at local pizzerias suggested by fans.
At the end of the tour, AG released a special tour video of Cannonball which edited together all the best clips of the members performing the song across all the tour stops (think Ateez's video for Dancing Like Butterfly Wings)
Two shows came out in conjunction with AG’s tour. One from Mnet and the other from Disney+.
Mnet’s show was called AG 도전 (Challenge in Korean)
The premise of the show: AG are known as FFI or Fearless Female Idols. All AG members are a part of NCT, a predominantly male idol group, for a reason. They face the challenge of being female idols in male groups every day and they conquer it every time.
Over each episode, ten in total, AG has a chance to win $500. The money will go towards AG’s end of tour trip to an unknown location. 
Every episode will have a main subject to focus on and it could be anyone. Each episode has two challenges each worth $250. The first challenge is The Game. AG have to answer questions about their subject then win in a game their subject has played before.
If they pass, AG picks one of the subject's songs to perform. If they fail, the staff chooses.
The Second challenge is The Performance. AG has to perform the song chosen. If the staff chose the song, AG has to face an extra challenge of the staffs choosing. AG winning the last $250 isn't up to the staff though. It's up to their fans and the subject themselves. 
Each performance is dropped online for the fans to see. By a voting system, if they like it, AG wins $125. The other $125 is won by the subject of the week also voting in AG’s favor. 
In each episode, the are also surprise challenges that AG filmed while preparing for tour that can help or hinder their performance depending on if they win or lose 
An episode debuts after each tour stop on the U.S. leg of AG’s tour until they finish in Vancouver.
The show ends in a special episode where their vacation destination is revealed to the girls, Disney World
In a random order here are some of the subjects that will be featured: BTS, Everglow, Girls Generation, Ateez, EXO, LE SSERAFIM
The second show isn’t a show at all, Its a documentary on Disney+ about AG in conjunction with their tour. Part 1 has interviews about the creation of AG and videos of the girls preparing for the concert. Part 2 is the filmed Seoul day 2 concert.
Encore Show in Seoul
The encore is called AG Presents A New Day: Encore in Seoul
The girls prepare alot of changes for this concert.
The premise of these shows is the dream-eating Shark is back and is causing the fans to have nightmares. Now AG has come back to fight the monster off and restore your dreams.
The show has a loose theme of moving on. Remembering the past and stepping into the future.
Netizens were freaking out after the first day because AG changed the WHOLE SETLIST almost
Fan's in attendance had no idea what was going on. They weren't prepared at all.
AG had a whole new opening set, extended stage set, new solo songs, new covers for and a new finale. Needless to say, AGzen's were FED!!!
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
But to get more, your gonna have to wait for the next post. I came up with wayyy too many ideas for the encore concert. I figured why waste them when i can make another post and fully flesh them out so look forward to the part 2 of AG's tour. I'm planning on posting some tweet's about the shows and maybe a bit of tour!angst!! As always that you for reading and i hope you enjoy!! ~ Author Izzy

Shimabara (part 2)
Continued from part 1
Tumblr media
I don't know what this drawer is. Logically, I'd use it for keys, because it's near the exit. But who knows what's really in there?
Tumblr media
View from the kitchen to the inside of the "business" area. A staircase leads to the second floor, where there are living rooms for the owners and servants.
Tumblr media
A small Shinto altar on the wall near the stairs.
Tumblr media
An office for vendor payments and bookkeeping. The owner's seat of power.
Tumblr media
Right above the desk on the wall is an arsenal for when negotiations go wrong. Or for escorting uninvited guests out.
Tumblr media
The entrance to the guest room is clearly visible from the business area. This thing near the entrance is a katana rack. The guests who came in used to put their swords in here. Maybe even get room numbers. And to the left, behind closed doors, is the staircase to the second floor, where there are also guest rooms, but smaller in size. Unfortunately, I didn't get in. They go there only on scheduled tours and under the supervision of a guide. It's not allowed to take photos there: some of the decorations of the rooms were made by famous artists and craftsmen and are National Treasures of Japan. Such a palace.
Tumblr media
One of the first floor guest rooms. Here the guests dined in a pleasant relaxing atmosphere, talking about life and business. Or poetry.
Sumiya was founded in 1641, the same year as Shimabara itself. The Nakagawa family owned the place for 13 generations until the building was taken over by the state in 1952. The interiors were decorated by some of the most famous artists of the Edo period, including Yosa Buson, Maruyama Okyo, Kishi Ganku, Yamada Gazan, and Emura Shoen.
Tumblr media
The same room from another corner overlooking a small courtyard garden.
In the 18th century, Sumiya was the regular gathering place of the haiku poets' club, the so-called "Shimabara Haidan". The 6th and 7th owners of Sumiya were friends with Buson and Taigi (a haiku poet). The establishment's archives contain poems written by these buddies during these creative dinners.
Tumblr media
One of the indoor gardens. It was the middle of March, so everything was so bare and cold. I became cold pretty quickly myself, by the way. As you can see, everything is wide open. And the temperature in the place is the same as the ambient temperature. Ten degrees. And you only wear socks on the tatami.
Tumblr media
A passageway to the back of the house, towards the most luxurious and largest of the guest rooms.
Tumblr media
There it is. On the opposite side are the painted fusuma by Kishi Renzan.
Tumblr media
The room opens to a large courtyard garden.
Tumblr media
In the foreground is a wisteria. In the garden, three separate tea houses are hidden in different corners. One of them is clearly visible on the right.
Tumblr media
Ranma - carved wooden panels under the ceiling.
Tumblr media
Tokonoma, front corner. Where one hangs scrolls appropriate to the season and/or situation and places all sorts of beautiful things, from seasonal flowers to small sculptures by famous artists.
Tumblr media
Fine and luxurious finishing of all details.
Tumblr media
A continuation of the same wall.
Tumblr media
"Tenbukuro" - cabinets below the ceiling. Notice how the "handles" are decorated.
Tumblr media
"Phoenixes and paulownia" painting. Kishi Renzan, late 18th century.
Tumblr media
A corner of the garden. Other buildings of the Sumiya can be seen.
Tumblr media
Tour guide tells an anecdote from the Bakumatsu. In June 1863, the then-formal head of the Shinsengumi unit, Serizawa Kamo, got drunk and went on a rampage in one of the rooms on the second floor. The drunken samurai refused to pay his bill and, after picking on some petty detail, began smashing the furniture in the room with his sword. The tokonoma of the affected room still has notches from the sword. And in September of the same year, on this very spot, where the guide stands, Serizawa Kamo sat with his friends, and Kondo Isami and Hijikata Toshizo, who organized a party for their already condemned former commander, were trying to get him drunk. this was Serizawa's final night.
Around the same time period, Sakamoto Ryoma and Saigo Takamori entertained wealthy merchants in Sumi-ya, trying to persuade them to shell out money to restore the Emperor.
The Sumiya has always been known for its neutral political leanings. You could meet anyone here.
Tumblr media
Interesting screen door clips.
Tumblr media
A phoenix head on a painted fusuma.
Tumblr media
And fusuma handles shaped like paulownia leaves.
Tumblr media
From this room, a small bridge leads to another part of the house, more private if the case is particularly secret or if the guest has achieved privacy with the tayu.
Tumblr media
The path to the tea house. To enjoy a tea ceremony with geisha or tayu in peace and quiet.
Tumblr media
View of the second floor from the small courtyard garden. Nothing interesting, a blank wall.
Tumblr media
A lantern in the same garden.
Tumblr media
Shimabara Daimon from the inside. I've finally walked around and I'm crawling home.

PROLOGUE
June 6th, 1944 - 0300
Normandy, France
OSS Operative - Julienne
There's a quiet consumption about the darkness. About crickets. About the sun setting and disappearing from the day, only to return a multitude of hours later when you had needed it most. If there were any night to remember, and a night that slowly faded into the early morn, it would be this night. This very night where I wished for darkness for days.
- Esther Armstrong, on Operation Overlord, D-Day, from Stroke of Luck
