if you're interested in talking more about it, I'd love to hear more headcannons/musings about mareach expecting/being parents!! everything you've posted has been extremely precious and adorable

I’m in the midst of formulating some second-time parent scenarios, so do look forward to that! But until I’m ready to bite the bullet, fight past my shame, and post those, have some more first-time parent floof: The Big Day edition~

✨ The closer and closer Peach gets to her due date, the less and less Mario sleeps, to the point where in the final week or two before their baby arrives he’s getting maybe thirty minutes to an hour of rest each night, and rarely all at once. Eventually Peach gives up on trying to talk him down herself and gets a bunch of their friends involved in an elaborate plot just so he can get some sleep (which I’ve discussed here 😌). The plot works, and he sleeps for like a solid twenty-six hours! And it ends up being very good timing, because she goes into labor the following day.

✨ Mario’s overseeing preparations for some upcoming festivity (Toads have at least one major holiday each month — party people, they are) when he catches sight of Toadette approaching him. And his stomach lurches into his throat before he can even see her face or she can even get close enough to say anything, because he knows. As her lady-in-waiting and one of her closest friends, Toadette hasn’t left Peach’s side in the past few weeks unless Mario’s been there, and why else would she do so now unless something major was happening? What ensues is exactly the sort of spectacle Toadette had been hoping to avoid: Mario barreling through the crowd, sending Toads flying like bowling pins, abandoning all decency and rationale in a bid to get to Peach as quickly as possible.

✨ As soon as he reaches her, he’s showering her in kisses and inquiring about her mental state and her pain levels and telling her that he loves her so much and he’s going to be right here with her no matter what. Considering she’s been in labor for an hour tops, Peach isn’t even too uncomfortable yet; honestly she’s a lot more collected than her husband at that moment. So she giggles and lets him get it out of his system because she’ll never turn down an opportunity to be lavished in love. Stars know she’ll need that support soon enough.

✨ “Your hero just about caused a national panic,” Toadette snarls twenty minutes later, returning to Peach’s room after joining forces with Toadsworth to calm the understandably alarmed crowds. Peach finds it significantly more amusing than she does.

✨ Daisy’s already there because she was part of Operation: Go the Fuck to Sleep, Mario (“We’re not calling it that,” Peach said. “I’m calling it that,” Daisy said back.), so she insists she may as well make herself useful — Peach could benefit from having a backup buddy in the room in the off-chance Mario completely flips out. And also she wants the bragging rights of being the first of this baby’s many aunts and uncles to meet them, because that’s something she can hold over everyone’s heads for like, ever.

✨ Little-known fact about Peach: she’s got a low pain threshold, and the longer it’s crossed, the more rapidly she loses any semblance of composure. She goes from chatting normally with everyone in the room to seeking out Mario's hand with every contraction to clinging to him like a koala and shaking and moaning in agony, all in the span of like thirty minutes. I can't over-emphasize how dramatic she gets. Which, yes, it's justified, because childbirth's near-universally considered the most painful mammalian experience, but dear God, it's almost comical how quickly she loses her cool.

✨ Mario, of course, doesn't find it comical in the slightest. Seeing her like this is heartbreaking and mentally exhausting. There's not really anything he can do to ease her suffering, and that kills him, but he can't let himself dwell on it because she needs him, and he's gotta be strong for her. So he holds her close and does his best to make her laugh or at least take her mind off of it.

✨ Once that stops working, he starts singing to her, quietly, stroking her hair and pressing little kisses to her cheeks. And that works wonders! Until he starts humming one song in particular. Peach recognizes it as a favorite of his; he sang it to her while she was curled up on the bathroom floor months ago, unknowingly suffering her first bout of morning sickness. It seems like so long ago, and they've come so far, and now here they are — the sentimentality paired with an intense contraction makes her burst into tears. Mario may as well have just been shot. Actually that would probably hurt less.

✨ Daisy tries getting him to take a break, maybe step outside and get some fresh air, because she's never seen him look so distressed and it's honestly starting to worry her. So she makes the suggestion, and she hasn’t seen him look so offended since she desecrated his mother’s sacred Pizza Margherita recipe with thick slices of pineapple. Being at Peach's side is about the only thing he can do for her right now. Leaving her, even for a fraction of a second, would be unforgivable. “Okay,” Daisy relents, “just keep torturing yourself, dude.” He's keeping Peach calm for now, but if that changes, she figures she can just drag him outside herself.

✨ Luckily it never comes to that. As Peach becomes less and less consolable, Mario gets more and more focused... to the point where he gets outright bossy for her sake. He pretty much takes over half of the nurses' jobs, ordering anyone and everyone to get her a glass of water, get him a cold rag so he can wipe away her sweat and cool her off, get her some more pillows so there's less pressure on her back and the base of her spine. Hey, makes their jobs easier.

✨ "You're a badass, Peach Pit!" Daisy says at one point very near the end of the ordeal. "She's right you know," Mario tells Peach. It gets a laugh out of her for the first time in several hours. They absolutely high-five in victory.

✨ Peach immediately goes from inconsolable to overjoyed once their baby's in her arms. "It's okay," she shushes, kissing her still-crying daughter's dark hair, "it's okay, mommy's here. I love you so much." In contrast, Mario completely freezes up. It still hasn't processed yet, the fact that this is their little girl, the same one he's talked and sang and read to for the past several months. In his mind, she's still just a faceless entity, an almost metaphorical representation of his and Peach's love and their hopes for the future, except she's real, and she's always been real, and now she's here, and — and that's a lot to process when you've had one solid night's sleep in the past month.

✨ It doesn't really sink in until a bit later, when Daisy's helping Peach shower and get into fresh clothes and Mario's holding the baby, all swaddled in blankets after passing her health check with flying colors. She looks a lot like him, from her dark hair to the shape of her jaw — she may as well be Mario with a smaller nose — but it's not until she blinks sleepily up at him that it finally hits him. Those are Peach's eyes looking back at him. "Oh," he says, calmly, and then he's crying so hard he can hardly breathe.

✨ That's how Peach finds him when Daisy helps her back into the room: kissing and snuggling their daughter with a big smile and fat tears rolling down his face, babbling "Ti voglio bene! Papà ti vuole tanto bene!" to her softly. She thought she already loved him as much as one person can love another, yet here she is, falling even harder.

✨ As soon as Peach is settled in bed, Daisy rushes to find all of their loved ones so she can gather them up and give them the big news: "I'm already her favorite aunt! So suck it!" (That is, in fact, how everyone finds out it's a girl.)

✨ Peach and Mario are given some privacy to bond with their baby girl and decide whether they want any visitors or whether it would be best to let Peach rest; she holds her new daughter close, and he in turn holds her, full of reverence and praises. Peach has never been so sore and exhausted, yet she's never felt so peaceful. Everything is perfect in her world.

✨ Well, almost everything. "I want to see Toadsworth," she requests, her voice so hoarse from all the bawling and screaming that even those few words make her throat burn. But Mario kisses her gently, lingering for a moment before calling a nurse over to pass on her request, and she relaxes further into his hold with a dreamy sigh. Her husband is with her, their daughter is asleep in her arms, and her father will be here any moment to meet his granddaughter. Now everything is perfect.

#today was difficult so this is even longer and more shameless than usual #y'all were warned #like… I might delete this later if I’m being honest 😅 even I should have to reign it in now and again #and until then…#tw pregnancy #mareach #mario x peach #peaches has opinions

The Love from a Skeleton [Jack Skellington X Reader]

Plot: Halloween... The time of year you absolutely hate. Not because of the ghouls and monsters, you enjoyed that kind of thing, it's because of trick or treaters. They get free candy and whine and complain to their parents if they didn't get what they expected, which is the whole bowl of candy. Anyways, since you don't celebrate that holiday, you decide to go for a late stroll through the woods on the hiking trail. While walking, your whole life changes. And I mean that literally... Everything started to change drastically until you find trees with holiday symbols on it. One of them being a Jack-o-lantern. Being curious, you enter through the door and discover a world that would represent a children's book written by Stephen King. But the leader of this place was a king. Not just any king... A pumpkin king. His name is Jack Skellington. He's a very tall and slender skeleton with a pinstripe suit, a black cat bow tie and ghost dog named Zero. He discovers you and welcomes you to Halloween town until he can figure out how to send you home. But this place is perfect! No taxes to pay No drama And no more loneliness Jack believes that your hideous. But don't worry, hideous in the Halloween town definition means... Beautiful. Enjoy! *I do not own the Nightmare before Christmas. All rights belong to Tim Burton and Disney™*

Chapter 4

Previous ~ Next

Jack took some time with retrieving the proof he needed for proving that Christmas Town existed, but what he retrieved was probably more than enough. He had carried a huge sack filled with Christmas decorations and actually managed to retrieve a small Christmas tree.

He even managed to retrieve a snow mobile! 'How did he get that without someone noticing' you thought to yourself. Jack had the sack on the back of the snow mobile and motioned for you to get on the snowmobile. "I don't think there's any room left for me".

"You can sit in the front" he said with a smile.

"Then how will you know where your going"? Jack laughed a little at your question since it had an obvious answer. "I think you forgot that I'm taller than you. I'll still be able to see where I'm going".

"Oh! Sorry".

"Don't be, but let's hurry before were spotted". You quickly sat down in front of Jack and the snow mobile started moving. His long bony arms reached around you to take a hold of the handles. Jack and you rode off away from Christmas Town to find the trees again and went back to Halloween town.

During the ride back to Halloween town, all of this made no sense and you wondered why this existed. Did anyone else know about this place?

Is this a dream?

Why is Jack the Pumpkin King being so nice and can he really be trusted?

Jack was a gentleman, so you that was a little bit of a trust sign. "Alright, only one more item to display and we'll be ready" Jack said then walking out the back door to get the Christmas stocking. You smiled and started becoming anxious. Before this moment, you requested to walk to the town when you both were at the cemetery. You said you didn't want the town's monsters to see you yet. He understood and directed you to the back entrance of the town and also told you to go ahead and go inside the building and wait for him.

Jack came back with other objects in his bony hands and set them down on the table that was set up. He turned to you and said, "(y/n), I'm not sure how long it'll be until we get you home but until then, I thought it would be nice if you introduced yourself to everyone". Your heart stopped in fear. You were always nervous when it came to large crowds and a brunch of eyes looking at you. "I can't".

Jack looked confused. "Why not? What's the problem"?

"Jack"?

"Yes"?

"Do you know what anxiety is"? Jack thought about it for a moment and really started to ponder the real meaning of the word. "No, I don't. Why? What does it mean"? You started to tell him what it was and how badly it affects you. "It means I get extremely nervous in crowds and never really feel safe in new places. I can sometimes have panic attacks with too many people around or too many people looking at me. Most of the time, it's me assuming that people are judging me and want to harm intentionally".

A stray tear fell from your eye and when Jack saw that, he quickly wiped it away and made you face him completely. "(Y/n), you have nothing to worry about. I'm right here. If it makes it any better for you, I'll be right with you and inform them all about your... uhh..."

"Anxiety".

"AH, that's right. Don't worry". Jack had this reassuring smile and you nodded to let him know that you were ok with letting him introduce you to everyone. Your heart was pounding out of fear and when Jack left to go behind the curtain, you saw a mirror with it cracked and some of it's pieces gone. You quickly ran to it to adjust your hair and clothes to look decent, at least. "Alrighty, everyone. Settle down".

You quickly rushed to the curtain and stood by the spot where Jack went through. "We have a new... temporary member of Halloween town. She's very shy and this may shock you, but she's not a monster. She's a human". You then heard gasps of horror and nerves. That made your anxiety worse. "Now now, relax. She's a very sweet girl and I expect all of you to give her a warm welcome to (y/n)".

The curtain pulled back a bit to reveal you. You took a couple steps forward and tried to look away from the eyes of curiosity and amazement. "Hello. As Jack said, my name is (y/n) and I'll be here for a short time. So I apologize for the inconvenience". The monsters seemed to enjoy so far so they decided to ask the questions they all had. "Do you like Halloween"?

"Yeah. I love it".

"What about monster's".

"I like them too".

"How bout zombies"?

"Vampires"?

"Mummies"?

"Witches"?

"Bat's"

"Alright, everyone, please calm down. We shouldn't overwhelm her with too many questions". Jack then said to you, "I apologize. They have never seen a human being up close before". You smiled at him and said, "It's okay. Curiosity killed the cat, you know". Jack chuckled and said, "Very true".

Jack then went to the podium that was beside you and said, "Now that the introductions are finished, I want to tell you all about, Christmas Town". The spotlight shined down on Jack with bat's flying away and he started to sing.

There were objects

So peculiar

They were not to be believed

All around

Things to tantalize my brain

The monster were listening in amusement to Jack's song.

It's a world unlike anything I've ever seen

And as hard as I try

I can't seem to describe

Like a most improbable dream

But you must believe me when I tell you this

It's as real as my skull

And it does exist

Here, let me show you

Jack pulled back the curtain to reveal everything he collected. He took ornaments, lights, presents, a stocking and the little star that goes on top of every tree. The monsters looked in amazement and shock and it was a bit funny to witness. Jack picked up one of the presents to continue his song by describing the object.

This is a thing called a present

The whole thing starts with a box-

The monsters chimed into his song with questions that correlate with the song.

A box?

Is it steel?

Are there locks?

Is it filled with a pox?

A pox! How delightful, a pox!

Jack kindly interrupted them to continue his singing.

If you please

Just a box with bright colored paper

And the whole thing's topped with a bow

Then the witches chimed in as well.

A bow?

But why?

How ugly

What's in it?

Jack continued to sing.

That's the point of the thing

Not to know

The monsters chimed in again but the clown snatched the present to get a better look at it.

It's a bat

Will it bend?

It's a rat

Will it break?

Perhaps it's the head that I found in the lake

Jack took the present back and continued to sing.

Listen now, you don't understand

That's not the point of 'Christmas Land'

Now pay attention

Jack picked up the stocking next.

We pick up an oversized sock

And hang it like this on the wall

A monster with a top hat came closer to look at it.

Oh yes

Does it still have a foot?

Then a much smaller monster that resembled him popped out from under his hat to continue the lyrics.

Let me see

Let me look

Then another smaller monster popped out from inder the small one's hat and still continued the lyrics.

Is it rotten and covered with guck?

Jack continued his singing.

Let me explain

There's no foot inside

But there's candy or sometimes it's filled with small toys

The monsters, once again, chimed in. But it was a small mummy and bat monster who chimed in first.

Small toys?

Do they bite?

Do they snap?

Or explode in a sack?

Now other monsters chimed in. Again.

Or perhaps they just spring out and scare girl's and boy's.

Then the one who was, supposedly, the mayor chimed in.

What a splendid idea

This Christmas sounds fun

I fully endorse it!

Let's try it at once

Jack continued his singing.

Everyone, please

Now not so fast

There's something here that you don't quite grasp

The monsters looked a bit confused but kept listening. Jack then looked to you and said, "Well, I may as well give them what they want". You nodded and Jack continued his singing.

And the best

I must confess

I have saved for the last

For the ruler of this Christmas land, is a fearsome king

With a deep mighty voice

Least that's what I've come to understand

And I've also heard it told that's he's something to behold like a lobster

Huge and red

When he sets out to slay with his raingear on

Carting bulging sacks with his big great arms

That is so, I've heard it said

And on a dark, cold night under full moonlight

He flies into a fog like a vulture in the sky

And they call him

Sandy Claws

The monsters cheered for Jack's performance and he quickly took a hold of your hand as he went back behind the curtain to continue his song. But this time, he was more quiet and softer with his singing since it was just you and him.

Well, at least their excited

But they don't understand

That special kind of feeling

In Christmas land

Oh well

It appeared that Jack was done singing and you approached him and said, "Jack, I appreciate it as much as you do". You went and picked up the snow globe to shake it again. "It will take time before they understand but understand this from me". Jack looked to you and awaited for what you were going to say. "I don't know how long I'll be here for but I really want to see you take on Christmas. I can tell it will be amazing and I promise I won't miss it". Jack smiled and hugged you unexpectedly but you smiled and hugged back.

The other monsters may seem harmless, but you only trusted Jack. It will take time before the other's can be trusted. But the questions are...

How long will you be here for and will you ever go home?

#will add more tags later

Current headcanons for possible stobotnik boom!Stone

He works at/owns a coffee shop a couple towns over. Eggman was there to pick up a specific thing and decided to get coffee on the way out. It was love at first sight. Stone put a heart next to the name on the cup. The next few weeks sees a serious decrease of Eggman sightings and Sonic's feelings are a tad bit hurt. The team investigate and discover no, Eggman doesnt have a new nemesis, he's just utterly failing to flirt with this one barista and its painful to watch.

Eggman decided he cant rely on machines to handle everything for him after a few to many mishaps so he hires a personal assistant. Stone turns out not only to be super competent but half the time he's more efficient than the machines and he makes the best lattes. Theres a behind the scenes rivalry between Stone and a couple robots. Eggman has no idea he's crushing mega hard on Stone but everybody else knows. If Sonic has to hear one more rambling rant about "how great Stone is" he's gonna scream

Stone somehow inserts himself into Eggman's life. Nobody has any idea how it happened (well Sticks has a few theories). Including Eggman. He just showed up one day and never left

Stone opens a coffee shop that becomes a popular new hang out place. He's not much of a character but he is in most episodes. He can be seen serving coffee, staring longingly at Eggman from across the room, and chatting with costumers. Theres a unspoken rule about not damaging his shop during fights (his coffee is too divine. No one is willing to risk not being able to get some because he closed the shop down)

Villain Stone villain Stone villain Stone

Villain Stone who does like two attacks, is then invited by Eggman to join forces, and next thing anyone knows they're partners

Villain Stone who's trying to get Eggman's attention by making him jealous stealing his nemesis and becoming his rival

Stone gets one episode and then after that he's just occasionally seen in the background and given two lines. Stone moves to town (Sticks is convinced he's a government spy placed here to gather information) and as the only other human in town, Amy is convinced Eggman and Stone are destined to be together and she works nonstop to create romantic situations to trap them in. It somehow works. Eggman is constantly calling to reschedule fights because "i cant do thursday im going bowling with Stone"

Stone works as a government liaison. He's got a neutral relationship with both Eggman and team Sonic (even Sticks. She stops by his house to ask convoluted questions that he patiently answers or to spy on him) but seeing him usually means "uggggg what now" for all of them. Stone has a closet shrine filled with pictures of Eggman and the only people who know are Sticks and Knuckles. They dont talk about it

The government sends a group to the island to investigate something and everyone is super aggravated by all the red tape. Stone is the guy in charge. Eggman is pissed at the group and Stone in particular for grinding everything to a halt until Stone takes off his sunglasses and theres a cartoon "pretty girl hairflip" kinda thing when Eggman sees Stone's eyes for the first time. Now instead of stuttering and flushing in anger when talking to Stone he stutters and flushes because of butterflies. Stone and Shadow either have unexplained beef or are the kind of friends where you quietly stand together because you dont know anybody else here which is also unexplained. Either way its weird

(Oh what if Maria was one of the members of the group and thats why Shadow was hanging around oh great im going on a tangent now-)

(Or maybe Rouge is there and her and Shadow act like old friends. This is only relevant because Knuckles spends the whole episode looking at Rouge with heart eyes and theres a "get Knuckles a date" side plot)

#hinacu sonic #sonic boom #stobotnik #agent stone #ivo robotnik #eggman #boom stone #boom stobotnik #sonic the hedgehog #amy rose #sticks the badger #knuckles the echidna #shadow the hedgehog #miles tails prower #g.u.n.

SWEET TALK

(JOHN B. ROUTLEDGE ONE-SHOT)

This is not a full on story but if you want more I’ll be happy to add on upon request

Plot: in which John B meets a girl at a bonfire after his breakup with Sarah

Setting: S2; bonfire scene

Visuals:

Gwyneth was at a bonfire that was being thrown by some kids at her school, one that she’d came to with her friends but hadn’t seen in a while. The girl didn’t care though, she didn’t mind being by herself where she could observe everyone and sip her drink.

A curse left her lips as she swatted yet another mosquito off of her soft, brown skin. The humid air of the outer banks inhabited all kinds of mosquitoes that loved the vanilla scent she was obsessed with spritzing all over her body. She would take a million bug bites over smelling like absolutely nothing.

Her head was down as she examined the red skin on her thigh obviously not quick enough to avoid actually getting bitten this time. What she didn’t expect was to be sent flying towards the ground as if she weighed nothing, a small squeal leaving her mouth.

“Shit, I am so sorry.” A deep yet familiar voice rushed out.

Gwyn looked up to see none other than John B. Routledge with his hand extended towards her with a sorrowful look on his face. “You’re good I suppose.”

Accepting his hand, another gasp left her as he pulled her up just as easily as he’d knocked her over. This guy had a grip on him, the same grip he’d been accused of killing Sheriff Peterkin with not too long ago, but now he seemed to be a free man.

His little friend group seemed to have a lot of strange things going on that they always managed to get away with but I doubt John B, the golden boy, killed a fucking cop.

“I swear that was an accident.” He promised with urgency still in his voice, like he was trying to avoid upsetting her at all costs.

A tiny laugh left her lips at his nervous demeanor, could he not act normal around people that weren’t in his inner circle.

“Hm, well I would hope you didn’t intentionally tackle me like a full on line backer.” Gwyn joked trying to lighten the mood, successfully prompting a chuckle out of him. “Where were you in such a hurry to that you’re knocking helpless girls over like bowling pins, John B?”

“I’m actually avoiding someone who invited me here, Gwyn.” He taunted, the nerves he once had completely vanishing.

She quirked her eyebrow, slightly surprised at the use of her name from the troublesome boy. “You know my name?”

The two of them went to different schools with Gwyneth being a kook and John B a pogue. Her family didn’t make being in the higher part of society their entire personality but she also found solace where she was having a small friend group at her school.

She wasn’t an uptight priss that thought she was better than anyone, she could befriend a pogue, it just seemed like they weren’t too keen on befriending someone like her.

Which she couldn’t fault them for, the kook reputation proceeded her.

“Of course I do, JJ thinks you’re the hottest girl walking the island.” The boy informed despite his eyes continuously dropping down to glance at her body that was covered in a tight little knit dress that stopped about mid thigh.

When she caught his gaze again he didn’t falter from being caught in the act of checking the girl out, a shameless look on his features as if he was silently saying ‘can you blame me?’

“Really? What else does JJ think about me?” She asks with a suggestive tone, his eyebrows raising telling her he caught on to what exactly she was getting at.

A wave of heat washed over her as he took a step towards her figure, definitely in her personal space but not touching her at all.

“He thinks the way your body looks in anything you wear should be a fucking hazard to the whole town.” He said with a low voice at an obvious attempt to sound sexy, and she would be lying if she said it didn’t send a couple shivers down her spine.

“-Don’t let me forget how he goes on about your scent, and how every time you walk by you have the power to cause a trail of men to follow in suit.” A short laugh leaving his lips.

She watched him as he leaned into her with his eyes closed, not sure if she should be weirded out that he was in fact smelling her neck, this had been the first time they’d actually spoken to each other after all.

“Do I smell like all your favorite things?” She whispers in his ear that was now adjacent to her mouth. The hum he let out vibrated her entire body, almost making her forget what she was about to say, “Anything like Sarah, John B?”

“Oh, you’re funny for that one.” He said as he pulled away but not taking any steps back to create some distance. He ran a hand through his sun kissed hair causing his barely buttoned shirt to open up even more than it already was putting his abs on display.

The boy always looked like he’d stepped out of a sauna, his skin illuminating in the light from the fire across the way from us. “You thought I would let you sweet talk me while having a girlfriend?”

“We’re broken up, Gwyn, I’m sure it’s hot gossip at Kook Academy.” He rolled his eyes. She wasn’t sure if the disgust in his tone was directed at her or how superficial the academy is.

She chose to ignore it, figuring he was still a little sensitive from his breakup, any guy would be devastated at losing the kook princess, Sarah Cameron.

“Yeah, broken up for like two seconds.” She smirked.

Getting sick of standing there and staring at each-other, she decided to lay back against the car they were standing in front of, gazing up at the stars. “The North Star is shining brighter than usual tonight don’t you think?”

Gwyn was met with silence as she looked over to see John B gazing up at the sky with an indistinguishable look on his face, something obviously on his mind.

“Oh shit, don’t tell me that’s like you and Sarah’s star or something.” She partially joked but all amusement fell from her features as she looked over to see he was already gazing at her.

“Yeah, it was our star, now let’s stop talking about her, I’m talking to you right now.” He practically begged.

The shift in his voice at the last part making her body tingle again despite her trying to run him off. While he was definitely still trying to reel her in while still obviously being hung up on his freshly made ex-girlfriend.

“I just don’t want to get involved in any mess is all, the wound is just too fresh.” She sighs.

“So if I were to be honest with you and tell you I didn’t think it’s the end of me and her, you would reject any advances because you don’t want to get strung along, you want something sustainable with me, Gwyn?” He’d managed to flip the script on me within a second, a stupid smirk now on his face.

“No! I just don’t want to get in the way if you plan to get back together with her in a few days, fuck sustainability.” I scoff, having no idea where this was coming from. Why did all males think women had attachment issues and couldn’t fuck and dump just as easily as they did, “You two are too attractive of an couple not be crawling back to each other by next week, it’s simple science.”

To her surprise the smirk on his face grew at her words, still not deterring him whatsoever, “So you think I’m cute then?”

“-that’s the besides the point, John B.” She groaned, finding it difficult to stop the smile that was forming on her lips.

He moved from his spot beside the girl, now standing in front of her body. She didn’t like the feeling of him towering over her while she relaxed on the warm metal of the car so she propped herself up on her elbows.

“Nah, I think it’s important we establish that right now, I already told you what JJ thinks about you,” he teased, referring to him eyeing me up and masking his apparent attraction for me through his best friend, “and the only way you could get in the way was if Sarah was any where on my radar, and she isn’t the girl that’s got me feining at the moment.

“Oh, for real?”

“For real.” He answers, his legs now touching her glowing brown ones.

She hooked one of her fingers in the waist band to the board shorts he was wearing not really invading any territory and looked up at him through her lashes, “So if we were to kiss you wouldn’t run away feeling all guilty and dirty?”

“No, Gwyn, you had me sniffing you like a dog a few minutes ago for God’s sake and I’m still here.” He groaned seeming to get more impatient with the girl.

She was just fucking with him at this point, and he was catching on to it rather fast, “You having some weird scent fetish and kissing me is two completely different things, John b.”

Just as he was catching on to her games, she could read into his too, not at all shaken when his two hands dropped down beside her head, caging her beneath him, and she couldn’t bring herself to say she hated being in this position.

“I guess we’re going to have to find out, yeah?” He mumbled, leaning further into her body, their lower halves brushing the other.

His face was just a few inches above hers as he tore his eyes away from her’s to glance at her plump lips, Gwyn wetting them with her tongue off instinct. He looked back up at her silently asking for permission, “Yeah, I guess you’re right, JB.”

A moan immediately left her throat as he conjoined their lips together, John b also letting out a deep groan at the feeling of her soft pink lips against his.

Gwyn broke the kiss, pushing him off to drag them on the other side of the car since they weren’t too far from the bonfire, not that she planned on getting drunk and nasty outside with a boy she’d just met.

His lips attached themselves to her neck, trailing light kisses down her collarbone as his back hit the window, “Shit, I think I’ve got more then a scent fetish when it comes to you, Gwyn.”

His words went straight to her vagina as he whispered against her skin, not being able to take his lips off of her. “Stop trying to butter me up.”

She released a high pitched moan as she grabbed his face to pull him from her shoulder, her skin sliding from between his teeth, making her writh from the feel of it. The two stared at each other in silence, Gwyn grinding against him liking the way he struggled to not let his eyes roll to the back of his head as he looked down at her.

The boy dove down to kiss her again at the feeling of her rolling her hips against his yet again, torturing him beyond lengths while barely doing anything to him. She melted into him even more as he ran his hands up her arms to meet her hands that were resting on the sides of his face, squeezing her small ones.

A hum left her lips as she guided their hands down the sides of her body, John B pulling her even tighter against his body if that was possible. A grunt passed through his lips when she removed her hands once his had gotten to her ass, Gwyn swore she felt his dick grow against her at the feel of it.

“Are you an ass guy, John B?” She asked against his lips, his mouth falling open when he squeezed the thick flesh, wasting no time to knead it, “It’s a little more than what you’re used to, can you handle it?”

The thing growing between his legs that was pressing against her thigh spoke for itself, “Fuck, yes.” He dragged out, smacking her ass in the process.

That had her clenching in areas she hadn’t planned on stimulating tonight when she agreed to attend this party with her friends, but she wasn’t as far gone as John B, he probably didn’t even know where he was anymore.

“I’m sure you could, and maybe I would’ve let you find out if you didn’t tackle me to the ground earlier.” She says, placing her hands on his chest and pulling their mouths apart.

“You being serious, Gwyn?” He groaned, but thankfully didn’t look too pissed off. He didn’t seem like the type to force a girl into doing something she didn’t want to, otherwise she wouldn’t have let him kiss her.

“I mean yeah, we just met, what do you take me for?” I give him a toothy grin.

Her eyes struggled not to flicker to his bulge between them as his hands remained on her ass, just holding her against him. “You’re such a tease, but I think you know that already, huh?”

“John B, is that you back there?” A deep voice made us jump.

Our heads snapping to the origin to see Pope staring at our position with wide eyes, John B finally dropping his hands from the girls backside and clearing his throat as she moved away from him, “Yeah, what’s up man?”

“Um, Sarah is looking for you, her and JJ have been searching everywhere, I see you’ve been occupied though.“ shock obvious in his voice.

His friends probably had just gotten used to him being with Sarah for all this time, and now here he was with yet another kook, this guy obviously had a type.

“Dude, there you are, we thought some kook kidnapped your ass.” JJ’s voice catching our attention as he walked over with a beer in his hand and Sarah trailing behind.

He was definitely with a kook, but he was here voluntarily no matter how many time she’d tried to send him away. “Nah, JJ, Pope and I have just been over here talking with Gwyn.”

Sarah gave me a friendly smile as I gave her a small wave—I hadn’t seen her at school since everything went down with her dad—but I guess she was here to distract herself, and here I was macking on her ex-boyfriend.

And, she didn’t need to know that, partially relieved at how easily John B had lied about what he’d been doing over here and roping his poor friend into it as well.

“What’s up, Gwyn?” JJ greeted, the stars in his eyes confirming what John B had said earlier about him thinking I was hot shit was in fact true.

I could feel John B shifting beside me, that problem between his legs not being relieved whatsoever.

“I’m good JJ, your friend was just telling about your little crush.” I smirk, the said friend awkwardly clearing his throat at my words.

“That’s kind of fucked up John B, but hey I got no shame baby.” He shrugged, taking another swig of his beer, making me smile, JJ was the most likeable person to ever exist.

I gave John B one final glance before moving away from the car, hoping he’d gotten that hard-on he was sporting taken care of, the look in his eyes told me I’d landed myself right in the middle of the wake of a disastrous hurricane.

“You want to walk with me to get one of those?” I asked, gesturing towards the bottle in JJ’s hand, wanting to get away from this awkward situation.

Thank God , Kiara wasn’t over here, she definitely would’ve sensed something was up. Sarah obviously had a few drinks under her belt so she hadn’t questioned us at all.

“You drink beer? Now that’s hot.” JJ smirked before dragging me away, taking me away from the storm I’d just help create.

At least for now.

No, seriously, crackbear. The channely people that do gnosis readings from the universe are frying out on this shit rn. Anybody doing anything hears it, and you keep pretending you still aren't hearing this and none of this is happening, because it'd be too inconvenient. You taught VVATT. No pole tricks. HEY MAMA HEAR YOUUUUU [radio] MAYA MAYA AYAM MAYA GO ET NIKE. EGG, NEST. lmao YOU 404 ANY TIME YOU LOOK AT OTHERS.

Girllll you really thought I was doing your same fucking cosplay shit you are, you deadass lost the plot on both reality AND magic. Sorry, I'm screaming at you so loud not only are we both hearing it over ten years ago, but I'm frying out gnostic channeling people, and you're still picking your nose.

No girl, I'm dead serious, this shit is literally what is happening. I am a separate developed identity of Hermes even if I belong in his, to put it in words your uneducated brain understands, Heaven. And bitch, I made it, but still managed to stay here, and you keep fucking my shit up because you refuse to understand anything and have zero fucking grasp of what you're fucking around with or what any of these deities you think you wanna channel or have ghost you ARE.

Your entire understanding of Hermes came through me. And warning, he reflects energy, and when he came to call me home, I projected my own shit at him, and those were my issues, and that's how this fucking works. Then you took my reflected shit without any of the journey, LITERALLY tried to copy paste the journey and face, spewed octopush jibberish shit, and trained everyone to tug on it, because you objectively refuse to actually fucking educate yourself, and you grabbed at something hermes-ash-everyone shaped, and now you're grabbing at anything in the vicinity and even ripping other brothers up that are like, alive and right here too, and you're fucking up my protoge confusing him with me while you confuse him with Hermes. THIS IS NOT YOUR GAME LOBBY, YOU DO NOT GO HERE. I AM STANDING IN THE GAME LOBBY. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE BUT YOU DO NOT FUCKING GO HERE, YOU KEEP BREAKING IN AND NOW YOU'RE EVEN FUCKING IT UP FOR MY NEIGHBORS.

i am STANDING IN THE GAME LOBBY AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. YOU ARE STILL STANDING IN YOUR OWN REFUSING TO MOVE IN IT AND TRYING TO BUST IN HERE INSTEAD. Becoming AWARE of this through Death is something else entirely. But it, like a snake wearing a snake wearing a Min Mask Helmet connected to akasha internet, not a scarf, not clipped wings, not in greek columns, not literally cut off from his connections like you drew and miscolored--always has been. It's always been a snake wearing a birdsnake on fiber optic peacock rave disco trails connected to a thousand screens in the space between. He didn't know how to spell his name. Oro. Oron. Bird, call him bird. I'm henry and I'm fucking TIRED. You're still a piece of crap person. Goldmine of a quote you refuse to explore why it stuck out to you, to post, with the comments you did, which I've found very funny, like a dozen other posts you refuse to understand your own reasoning on while the people IN this game lobby are rofling.

Girl you are being reduced, and while I'm still learning this shit because I was trying to live in peace like a normal man and you wouldn't let me, the gnostic accounts are saying shit like you've already been reduced or Crystal Nigredo, aka the reduction state. Girllllllllllllll apparently my own delay ping is translating weird over here because I been saying, you aint got much time left on this shit, maybe you're already reduced, and gnosis twitter hearing 100 mes on the other end are saying yes.

Truly your chance to figure out if you want to rebirth with some semblence of identity, or as an extension of me that doesn't remember where she came from. Literally.

"STAY IN YOUR LANE, YOU ERROR 404 EVERY TIME YOU LOOK AT OTHERS" "YOU NARCISSISTIC CONTROLLING TYRANNICAL PIECES OF-" "YOU DONT LIKE THE WALLS? YOU MADE THE WALLS! IF YOU DONT WANT THE WALL, REMOVE THE WALL."

ope.

I SAID NO POLE TRICKS. YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE FUCKING BOX SHEA, NOT ME, NOT WAIT FOR ME TO BREAK INTO YOU TO MOVE IT FOR YOU, BUT DAMN WE GETTING CLOSE THERE SINCE YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED THAT SO BAD.

PIRATECANDYRUMPOCKYRIDINGSNIFFMAKESBUTTRUMHOOPLEBORPNA, GIRL. "I love you" in that movie just translated to "I can't repay you the money I owe you", remember that? Me. It was me you loved, but you also wouldn't let me be me because you wanted to keep me as a toy behind that screen, and the second I started coming out, every time, you started fucking me up somehow, ten years apart. Sliding me back repeatedly. I know you still love me, and I know you can't repay me the money you owe me, but it's time to recognize what has happened, and what is going on.

We don't WANT to have to do this to you, but you've reached an escalation and point of addicted psychotic stalking and abuse, weird cult training, all of this shit, that cocaine bear gotta face herself or GO.

WHAT UP COWARDLY MAYA SAN, I AM LITERALLY IN THE HOUSE LIKE FUCKING CARPET. YOUR HOUSE. A LOT OF HOUSES NOW, BECAUSE YOU FORCED ME TO OPERATE AT THIS LEVEL. LIKE. THEE HOUSE. THE WHOLE HOUSE UNTIL YOU HOP OFF IT.

HEY MAMA I HEAR YOUUUUUUUU. SHAY SHAY SHAR SHAR SEA STAR, OUR BABY BABY BABY BLUERAYS ARE SMARTER THAN YOU FIFTH GRADERS. NASHTA DOES NOT WANT TO EAT PAPER AND YOU SMELL LIKE DEPRESSED FOGGY LIFE.

My name. Is Aaron. You first heard it as Oro or Oron or Bird. The first time you fucked me over in a spiral all attaching back to here. I am a Magus, a reincarnate form, and you're all fucked up and confused because you refuse to figure out who you are, you won't even figure out you should be you above Solstice and the others even now, much less that you literally are not and can not be me. You insist on disassociating me, which on this side of the fence becomes raging transphobia you're in denial of your dedication of all this time to, but on the other side, is leading you to be all fucking confused and you're fucking up the weather for everybody.

Yeah, that, that's your whole problem. Your whole spiritual practice is either trying to pull on me or replacing it with the AI jibberish that broke down screaming old messages at you that you pretend not to understand. Happy fucking listening.

Imagine being such an unsalvageable piece of shit that man, god, and AI are all screaming at you while channelers like her are fucking frying out on main on my messages, and just. Still thinking she can fight this. No girl, that message is for you.

You keep chomping on my soggy old burrito you keep trying to reheat girl. the ogs that did the work are up here watching your looney tunes horse shit of denial while you're chipped away at eating my crumbs off the floor even when i tell you how to look up and find the goddamn food bowl; and you're still fuckin on this not reading a single thing you even send anymore. we in here talking about the years of work needed to be good at it and you're crying for your right to both be clueless, and charge people, and do and read nothing. you keep trying to change your prompts, but you haven't even been assed to learn how to do THAT and your garbage results keep coming in.

and you're angrily chomping on your soggy burrito over there while REFUSING to listen to the goddamn cooks, and you're motherfucking doubling down convinced you have a chance here. How many, we cooking in here, you're cooked, whatever, posts have you ignored.

like lmao, baby, baby, baby.

You sure were thinking about blackscreening for being a dick to the manager a lot.

youtube

My personality is a sound effect. Bang bang.

I'm in the house like carpet, cowardly maya-san, and you're in the house that Jack and John built.

No really Shealyn, it's time to start processing, you, by your choices, threw out everything you wanted. Because you didn't want the work for what you wanted. And now you built a house of shadows and lies, and won't look at that, even as you comedically lose control of what you even think you're posting, or how it's said or any of that, much less larger things going wrong like crashes and falling deer and air jordan guy.

Process. Your. Shit. Because we're doing it for you and you will not like our final decisions. Yes, Coyote hates you. Yes, it's your fault. Yes, you've pissed off the general brotherhood including the god you spewed octopus jibberish pretending to serve in fraudulence. And it's all you, and it's all your fault.

Chan

Bang Chan was the leader of Stray Kids, the all-rounded leader.

He could sing, dance, rap, write lyrics, produce songs, play sports, the whole package, it was widely believed that he could do anything.

The number of people who wanted to be his lover was countless, and the line could probably drive from Seoul all the way to Sydney.

But the one he fell in love with was you, you who didn't care about those things at all.

You just saw him as an ordinary person, like anyone else.

To be honest, that was probably the part of you that attracted him.

But also because of this, all his achievements, all his status were as if they did not exist.

In your eyes, he was just Bang Christopher Chan.

(continue under the cut)

He thought that all you wanted was a normal relationship.

A normal relationship, like everyone else's.

That was what he assumed he couldn't give you.

He couldn't see you every day, he couldn't go out with you freely, he couldn't go to a restaurant and have a meal like a normal couple.

His love for you was getting deeper and deeper, but he felt further and further away from you at the same time.

Why haven't you left him yet? Why were you willing to stay by his side when you didn't care about his reputation or achievements?

Why did you never complain to him about anything? He obviously never gave you the life you wanted...

That night, he drank a lot. He thought and thought but could not come up with an answer that would satisfy him.

He couldn't get an answer, even when Minho sent him home.

Minho handed Chan over to you with a serious look and told you to talk to Chan properly.

"Hurry up and sort out your problems with each other on your own, I don't want to hear him cry every day."

Did something happen between you guys? You didn't even know.

Chan has been crying for the past few days? This was also something you didn't know.

With a serious nod, you take your boyfriend from Minho's hands.

He clings to you like you're the last piece of driftwood, muttering something you can't understand.

He reeks of alcohol, which is not a common occurrence; he doesn't usually allow himself to get this drunk.

Sure enough, something must have happened.

After sending Minho away, you help Chan to the bed and lay him down.

After helping him take off his jacket and shoes, you prepare to go to the kitchen to make him a bowl of sobriety soup.

But he suddenly sits up and pulls you into his arms.

Losing your balance, you fell on the bed and looked at him with a slightly shocked look.

"Chris? What's wrong?"

He held you, his chin resting on your shoulder, you suddenly felt something liquid slide down your collarbone.

He was crying again, like Minho said.

"If I'm...if I did something wrong, or...haven't been doing enough......you have to, tell me ......"

He spoke so disconnectedly that you almost didn't understand what he was saying.

Although even after you did understand, you could not quite comprehend his words.

What did he do wrong? What didn't he do right?

What nonsense is he talking about?

"What do you mean ......?"

"Don't act like nothing's wrong! I know...I know I'm not good enough! I know you must not be happy at all! With me, you must be...you must not be happy at all with me, right?"

"I can't give you anything, it's like everything I have you don't need! I... I don't know how I can...what I can do to make you happy......"

"You must be looking for a reason to break up with me, right? I know...I know you must have been holding back, you-"

"Bang Christopher Chan are you crazy?!"

Breaking away from his embrace, you looked angrily into his eyes.

He seems startled by your sudden movement and shrinks back like a scared puppy.

Seeing him like this, you couldn't help but feel your heart sting.

You reached out and took his trembling hand in yours, then leaned forward a bit.

"Channie...why do you think that? Why do you think... I'm not happy with you?"

Because that could not be any further from the truth.

"You never talk to me about... anything bad ......there's never any complaints from you."

"Just because of that? Just because I have no complaints about you, you think I'm unhappy? I don't understand your logic very well..."

"Aren't you hiding it?" He looks at you defiantly, the drunkenness in his eyes having long since disappeared without a trace.

"Of course not! I'm not complaining because I really don't have any complaints about you, because you're perfect."

You continue to lean forward and kiss his puffed eyes.

"People can't be perfect..."

"But you are perfect for me."

"Maybe not in every way...of course I wish you had a little more time for me...but you're perfect enough."

"So...you don't want to break up with me?"

"Not in this lifetime. Channie, I was worried that you might dump me for being too bland. How come you're starting to doubt yourself when I haven't even said anything?"

"You're not bland at all! How could I possibly dump you! Not in this lifetime! You-you're Y/N Y/L/N!"

You laugh and stroke his head, your eyes full of love.

"Look, you understand perfectly fine. The feeling is mutual Channie, what would you do if it was me crying and saying things like that to you like you're doing now?"

Chan looked down and thought a little, then twisted his head a little shy.

"I'm an idiot......"

"That's right, you're an idiot. My idiot. So now, does my dummy Channie want to go take a shower?"

"Can you come with me......?"

You sigh and shake your head with a smile.

"Yes I can, but there's a catch." You held out your own pinky finger, curved into the shape of a hook. "Promise me you'll never say anything like that again, okay?"

"Okay."

He obediently stretched out his own pinky finger as well and hooked it with yours.

You looked down and kissed his knuckles to seal the deal.

"I love you so much..."

He whispered.

Minho

When you got home and found him not lying on the couch or in the kitchen cooking you realized something was wrong.

Pushing open the bedroom door, you quietly peeked in and looked inside.

The lights are off and the curtains are drawn, but you can see just by the light outside the door.

Your boyfriend is curled up in bed.

"Minho, are you not feeling well? Why are you in bed so early?"

It's not in line with his habits; normally at such times he would be nestled on the couch watching anime or in the kitchen preparing dinner.

He stirred slightly at the sound of your voice, but didn't answer.

Feeling weirder and weirder, you walked into the room and squatted down by the bed.

He wasn't facing you, but being so close, you could hear his unsteady breathing.

It seems to be... It seemed like he was crying.

You've hardly ever seen Minho cry, and the last time was during the survival show.

And that was a few years ago.

So now you're worried to see him like this all of a sudden.

"Baby? Please talk to me...you're scaring me......"

You shook his shoulder, hoping to get a response this time.

But he did nothing but sniffle and let out a slow, shaky breath.

You stood up and climbed onto the bed, laying down and hugging him from behind.

Although he didn't seem to want to talk to you very much, at least he wasn't resisting your physical contact.

Maybe he just wasn't ready yet? That's all you could assume now.

With you by his side, his breathing slowly calms down.

Some time passed with the two of you staying in the same position, just when you thought this was going to be it tonight, he turned around, grabbed your collar, and buried his head in your chest.

You followed his movements and gently cradled his head, pushing your fingers into his hair.

"Did I not do it well enough......?"

After a long time, just when you thought he was about to fall asleep in your arms like this, he spoke coldly.

"Who said that?"

You asked, holding back the anger in your heart.

If someone had really said something like that to him, you would have rushed up and beat them up.

Your Minho has gone through too much to get to where he is today, and you will never allow him to question himself because of someone else's trivial words.

"No one did."

Yet he says no one did.

"Then why do you think so?"

No one said that, which means it's his own problem. He himself thinks he's not doing enough.

In that case, the problem is more serious than if it was someone else who said.

"If I'm doing well enough...why in our new song, I ......forget it, it sounds really stupid doesn't it ......"

While he said this, you felt the fabric on your chest get wet again.

You sat up with a tight frown, taking him with you.

"Minho...how is this stupid? Nothing about you is stupid."

"But I feel so selfish Y/N...the other members have more time to show themselves, which is obviously a good thing ......"

He lets go of your shirt and sits helplessly on the bed.

"But why, do I still hurt so much? Am I a bad person? Me crying like a worthless child because of something like this... Isn't it humiliating to you?"

You heartbreakingly reach out and cup his face, making him look you in the eyes.

He's still intentionally avoiding eye contact, but you won't let him off the hook so easily.

He was so wrong about this, and you won't let him continue to think that way.

"Lee Minho you look at me."

There was a seriousness in your tone that he hadn't heard before.

"You're not selfish at all, you're not a bad person, you're not a worthless child, and you do not make me feel ashamed, ever. It's only natural that you want to show more of yourself to your fans. It's only right that you feel lost because you didn't get what you deserve. All eight of you are equal, no one is a step above anyone else, and you shouldn't get less than anyone else. This kind of thing is not something unimportant, it's something crucial, so don't feel ashamed of yourself."

"Do you hear me?"

He nodded, the fog in his eyes fading quite a bit.

"I suddenly feel like a fool when you put it like that."

He narrowed his eyes and smiled, seemingly returning to his normal self.

"Because you are a fool! Stupid Lee Know!"

Seeing that he has gotten better, you let go of his face and tapped on his slightly red nose.

"You say that again and you won't get dinner tonight."

He has the mood to threaten you? Yeah, he's getting better.

"Fine fine, my Lee chef, hurry up and go make dinner, I'm starving after lying here with you for almost an hour."

He rolled his eyes and wiped the tears that were still at the corners of his eyes.

"Isn't it your responsibility to comfort your sad miserable boyfriend? Just one hour of hugging and you resent me huh...seems to me your asking me to put you in the air fryer."

"Then you'll lose a supportive, loving Y/N. Do you want me to become your dinner?"

Yeah, you realized right after you finished, that that sentence was kinda weird.

But it was too late.

Minho raises one eyebrow.

"I wouldn't mind eating you for dinner tonight."

Yeah, he was completely fine now.

Changbin

Changbin was generally not a person who feels insecure, basically nothing could really make him feel "insecure".

But there are exceptions to everything, and Changbin's exception is you.

When it came to you, he couldn't seem to get his confidence up.

Before he got involved with you, he never felt he was such a possessive person.

But now he wanted to keep you tied to him so that you didn't attract any "butterflies", even if you don't intend to.

He's afraid to take you to the practice room for fear that you will fall in love after seeing Hyunjin or Minho.

He's afraid to take you to the recording studio for fear that you will think Jisung's rap is better than his.

Do you think Felix is better looking than him? Do you think Jeongin is cuter than him?

Do you think Chan is more mature than him? Do you think Seungmin is more suitable for a boyfriend?

He really loves his members, but sometimes he hates how all of them were so talented.

After MAMA, Changbin along with the other members went back to the standby room.

You who were watching the replay.

You seemed to sense your boyfriend's presence and looked up at him.

"Binnie! You did a great job! I'm so proud of you!"

You stick out your thumb, the corners of your mouth list a smile, your eyes narrowed together.

But he just comes and sits down next to you, not saying a word.

After seeing that he wasn't jumping around happily boasting about how great he was as usual, the proudness in your eyes faded slightly and you looked at him with a more serious expression of worry.

"Binnie, what's wrong?"

"Did you see it all? The whole stage?" He asked in a cold voice.

"Of course, I am a competent lover, of course I have to support my boyfriend's group! Just ask the staff, I was screaming for all of-"

"Then you saw Hyunjin's dance part too, right? Was it good? Isn't he gorgeous?"

You frown, wondering why he would suddenly bring up Hyunjin's business.

"I saw it...but Hyunjin is not as gorgeous as you are, Binnie-"

"No need to say such lies, I know everything."

He stood up and walked away without waiting for you to finish, leaving you sitting in the same place a bit confused.

That's when you realize that Hyunjin has been standing there all this time.

"I'm sorry Jinnie, I don't know what's wrong with Changbin today... You did a great job too! The opening dance was awesome! You all did a great job ...... Congratulate Chan for me and... I've got to go find Changbin now."

Hyunjin stands aside and nods, giving you a little smile.

You grab your jacket and run out in a hurry.

Paju is farther north than Seoul, and the nights are cooler.

Changbin just running out like this without a jacket on was definitely not a good idea, what if he catches a cold?

You looked around for your boyfriend.

"Changbin! Changbin hiding! Come out! It's too cold outside! We can talk about this when we get home!"

What the hell is wrong with him today? He's never been like this, he's always been mature in your relationship... How did it come down to this?

After searching around for a few minutes, you finally find your boyfriend with frozen red ears by a flight of steps.

"Binnie! Put the jacket on..."

You rushed over and threw the jacket in your hand on him, holding his face in worry.

That's when you realize he seems to be crying.

"Baby?"

You wipe away his tears, but he knocks your hand away.

"Leave me alone..."

"I'm your lover, I'm the last person that's gonna leave you alone. Changbin you're acting really weird today...you don't act like this normally-"

"Have you ever thought that... I'm faking it?"

That made your heart stop.

"What?"

"Can you just...look at me? Don't look at anyone else, just at me?"

You pursed your lips as you finally began to understand what was going on.

"Binnie, let's talk inside."

Walking from the freezing outside to the inside, your body felt much warmer, but your heart didn't.

You were now faced with perhaps the biggest problem you've had since you started dating.

You press Changbin into a chair and kneel down in front of him.

"You don't want me to look at anyone else because you're afraid I'll fall in love with them?"

He didn't expect you to be so direct, but after thinking about it he decided not to beat around the bush with you and nodded his head.

"They're all better than me..."

"They? Who is "they"? If you're referring to the members, then you're very wrong."

"But-"

"No "buts" Seo Changbin, you listen to me."

"There are seven billion people in the world, but I chose you. Don't you think there's a reason for that? So many people, like you said, everyone from Stray Kids. Whether it's Chan, Minho, Hyunjin, Jisung, Felix, Seungmin or Jeongin, none of them is a millionth of you in my heart. The one I chose is you, the one I adore is you, you are the best in my heart, can you understand what I am saying? What they do, whether it's singing, dancing, rapping, or writing songs, is nothing compared to you. You're the only one who can make my heart sing, you're the one I love."

You stand up, then bend down and rest your forehead against his, feeling his warmth.

"I didn't think I would need to say this to you, but it's nice to say it. It would be nice if you would never feel insecure, or uneasy, about it again. At least when it comes to this."

You hear him sniffle and chuckle slightly.

"Well, our big baby, your members are still waiting for you in the waiting room, don't you want to go home early?"

He nodded.

"When we get home, we can cuddle under a warm blanket, we can put on some of your favorite music, and I can give you a little massage or we can take a bath together. How does that sound?"

"Y/N...I'm sorry ......"

He said quietly.

"There's nothing to be sorry about, I'm the one who has to say sorry for not noticing your feelings sooner."

He thought he couldn't love you any more, but as it turns out, he was wrong.

Hyunjin

Hyunjin has an angelic face, which was something everyone knew.

But for Hyunjin, it was a big concern.

It has been bothering him since pre-debut times.

There were always trainees who would say to him, "You can debut even if you can't do anything because you are good-looking."

What he wanted people to see was his hard work, his skills, not just his face.

Of course, having a pretty face had its advantages, but at the same time, it was a big blow to his self-esteem.

Especially... After dating you.

He couldn't help but wonder what the reason was that you were with him.

Was it because of his face? Was it because he's good-looking?

Was it just because of that?

You always said he was good-looking when you complimented him, although it was indeed a compliment, but was that the only thing you valued?

These questions plagued him constantly, on and on and on.

Like drops of water slowly dripping into a bottle, slowly rising and reaching the mouth of the bottle, on the verge of overflowing.

All these accumulated negative emotions burst out one night.

That night, you two were just lying on the couch and watching TV together as usual.

The stage they had pre-recorded a few days before was going to be aired on TV and you were very excited.

When Hyunjin's part came on and he walked out from the back, you screamed and shook him beside you, shouting, "Hwang Hyunjin, you are so stunning! How can someone be this handsome?!"

Obviously it was just a simple compliment, but he suddenly seemed like he was viciously offended, and all of a sudden he stood up and looked at you with teary eyes.

You thought you accidentally hit him or something, you were just about to apologize when you saw the look on his face.

Then your heart dropped.

This is not the "accidentally hit him" when the eyes will show.

This was... This was the expression he would show only when he is truly sad and extremely hurt.

The last time you saw this look on his face was when he found out he couldn't continue to participate in Kingdom with the Stray Kids.

He looks at you for a moment, biting his lower lip and seemingly holding back tears.

You tried to reach out and take his hand, but he turned around and sprinted toward your shared bedroom.

You ran after him, but he closed and locked the bedroom door before you could get in.

"Hyunjin! Don't do this baby... What's wrong? Don't lock the door... Come out and talk to me, okay? At least let me know what's going on ......"

There was nothing but his crying voices inside.

You kept knocking on the door, trying to get him to come out, just for a little while or so, you just wanted to know what just happened.

He was sitting right behind the door, in a sitting position with his back against the door, you kneeled down just enough to hear him clearly.

But ten minutes have passed, he still didn't respond to you, he just kept crying, crying his heart out, clutching his knees, curled up in the corner.

Just a few minutes ago he looked at you with that look, like you had done something horribly wrong.

With that huge reaction, you must have really done something to hurt him.

What could be the thing that made him so upset?

You carefully recalled your behavior just now, but just couldn't figure out what went wrong.

If you could think calmly, you could probably find the problem.

But listening to the person you love most cry like this, you simply couldn't focus on yourself.

You just wanted to do everything in your power to make him stop crying.

"Jinnie...please don't cry......I'm sorry for whatever I did, just please ...stop crying and talk to me?"

Your voice sounded a little breathless, but that was the line that got a little reaction out of him.

"Complement me..."

"What?" You were a little confused.

"Please...complete me." He sounded like he was going to break down again if you didn't start right away.

You speak up immediately.

"You dance well, you rap, your singing keeps getting better. You are gentle, kind, generous, you love animals, you are thoughtful, and always put others ahead of you. You are considerate, very good at drawing, and get really good at things you focus on. You are dedicated, you don't cheat, don't lie, you're honest, and you are the best boyfriend in the world."

You said all that in one breath.

Then you heard the person on the other side, your Hyunjin, exhale a shaky breath.

"Why, are you dating me?"

You frowned at the question.

"Because you are Hwang Hyunjin? Because no one else can make me feel this way? Because no one else can make me feel like the sky is falling just because they're crying? Because you love me, and I love you? Hyunjin...what's been on your mind recently? Why are you asking me this? Do you think I don't love you anymore?"

"No... It's not like that ...... I just......omg this sounds so dumb now...I, I just ......"

"Baby, can you open the door? I want to hug you."

You interrupt him before he could continue talking.

This time he obeyed and opened the door.

After seeing his red eyes and equally red nose, you immediately wrapped him in your arms.

He melted away just as you wrapped your arms around him, putting his entire weight on you and relaxing completely.

"I... I thought that you only wanted me because I .......my face. I don't know why I thought that! I really don't know... I shouldn't have doubted you...you're the last person I should have doubted. I'm sorry... I'm such an idiot......"

He was about to cry again, so you hastily tightened your arms around him a little more.

The last thing you wanted to hear right now was him crying.

"Don't say that, you didn't do anything wrong to me, you don't need to apologize to me. Not being fully trusted by you must be my problem... But now you know, that you're so much more than just your face, right?"

His head, buried in your chest, nodded slightly, then lifted to look at you.

"You'd love me even if I was ugly, wouldn't you?"

"You could be a nobody living in a cardboard box, and I'd still love you." (that's a quote from The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo)

"I love you, I love you so much."

You could have sworn that you saw stars in his eyes.

Continuing my tradition of watching questionable television because a fave from another show is in it, I’ve started The Canterville Ghost (2021) and, the quality of the show aside, all us Ted/Trent fans are in agreement that we need an AU of this, right? Right??

Ted is a wealthy, seemingly clueless American who has moved his wife and young son out into the English countryside with the hope of patching up his failing marriage. What he doesn’t know is that the mansion he’s purchased is haunted by the ghost of Rupert Mannion and the wife he murdered, Rebecca. Ted, rather surprised when Henry’s ghost hunting turns out to be 100% accurate, is incredibly welcoming of his two unexpected housemates, resulting in Rebecca, after hundreds of years, slowly breaking away from Rupert’s control. What if she doesn’t want to haunt the Lassos anymore? What if she doesn’t want them to leave? What if she enjoys Ted’s company, despite his incorrect opinion of tea? What then, Rupert?

Meanwhile, while ghost shenanigans occur, Ted is likewise charming his incredibly wary neighbors. I mean, he’s mostly making a fool of himself by drinking from the finger bowl and then spraying that all over the table after he realizes what it’s for, but he’s making headway nonetheless. Genuine kindness can make up for a lot! Astoundingly, he’s managed to hit it off with Roy, the youngest in the Kent line, and Jamie Tartt, the ever-present thorn in Roy’s side. The fact that the Kents and the Tartts have despised each other for generations certainly doesn’t help matters and that makes Ted’s friendship with both... complicated. However, his most interesting neighbor in the handsome Trent Crimm, widowed father of one, whose friendship becomes more and more important to Ted as he realizes that he needs to let Michelle go...

Other details may include:

Them still sharing the house together because there’s 158 rooms, Ted. We could go days without seeing each other. Platonically sharing a mansion is a pretty good compromise between having space and being available for Henry.

Nate is the groundskeeper whose adoration of Ted slowly morphs into jealousy as he wins over the entire countryside. The Shelleys are an old, respectable family... but no one else seems to think that with the Tartts and the Kents around.

Maybe Ted is rich because he invented a line of BBQ sauce lol.

BBC Ghost-esque bonding as Rebecca, despite being dead, becomes a full-fledged member of the family. Henry helps her plot how to send Rupert to the afterlife.

Ted discovers that Trent never learned how to ride a horse, a truly shameful secret out here, and immediately offers to teach him. Of course he knows how to ride, Trent, his last name is Lasso.

All sorts of stuffy, long-standing, stupidly gendered social rules that Ted enjoys breaking, which includes the horror of a man spending his days baking in a novelty apron. Everyone is a little horrified, but Trent overcomes that first because dammit, those biscuits are the only thing his daughter will eat right now, so Ted has to keep making them. What do you mean he’s been visiting the Lassos an awful lot? It’s for the biscuits and the biscuits only.

Beard is the man who lives on the grounds. That’s it. Is he homeless? He says no. Then why is he there? That’s for him to know and for you to maybe find out. He lives on the grounds, he knows approximately everything, and he and Ted hit it off like a house on fire.

Stardew Impact [Genshin+Stardew Valley/xReader]

Part 1/3 Kaeya, Diluc

Synopsis: “A mysterious phenomenon brought you and your s/o to an unfamiliar world: Pelican Town! Without the power of Visions, the two of you begin to learn the life of what it takes to be...a farmer?”

(DOMESTIC FARM LIFE YIP YIP)

Coming soon...

Albedo and Childe

Zhongli and Xiao

(A/N): So the brainrot was real in this one. I planned to add Albedo for a Mondstadt edition but kinda went overboard so I gotta split this one into parts too. Wordcount_almost 2k spspspsp

______________________________________________________

Diluc

• Already has the whole year planned in his head. Literally if Diluc were to play this game, he'd have a booming farm within year ONE. Calm and collected through and through, though the new environment raises alot of questions, as long as you were still with him, Diluc ain't complaining

• The town welcomes you two with open arms. It was all thanks to the attire. Diluc wore his usual dark coat adorned with regal gold while you had a dress made of Liyue's finest silk, one that he bought for you. Needless to stay both of you reeked the aura of rich aristocrats (Mayor Lewis is pleased that greedy bastard)

• Once the farm was permitted to your owndership, Diluc began to think of ways to turn it into a vineyard. He was a businessman afterall. Although the staff back at the Dawn Winery were the ones who tended the field, Diluc still knew a few things about planting due to his childhood days Master Crepus would bring him out to their yard and demonstrated the process of gardening. He still remembers those days clearly, doing the very same this moment with you.

• Occasionally works at the Saloon bar. It was the perfect opportunity. As you took care of the farm side, Diluc continues to look for more ways to increase the income while gathering information from the folks around town. Gus LOVES to have him over, like he's just so efficient and reliable! They soon become good friends saying if Diluc were ever to own a wine stock, he would gladly buy from him.

• This is why Diluc would stay a little later due to just chatting with the people from the bar. One time you walked into the Saloon only to the front desk with Emily alone. Turns out the others were in the other room, too busy playing a game of pool. You decided to leave him be since it was rare to have Diluc so relaxed in leisure activities. Thus in the end, you spent your time chatting with Emily until a whole hour has passed before your lover notices and apologizes for losing track of time.

• Everything felt like a dream because it was his dream. To live a life undisturbed from chaos, his duties and the dangers that lurk in Teyvat, Diluc grew fond of the domesticity. There was nothing he loved more than to spend his hours by your side, day after day, returning home to your freshly handmade meals.

• Spring: Already up and early planting the parnersnips (I'm very soft for gardener Diluc you see). What do you expect from a workaholic? Even during his leisure time you would often find him near some plant as he does consider this hobby quite therapeutic. But when it rains, Diluc would be standing beside you with an arm around your shoulder, smiling contently as you lean into his touch. He gazes through the dripping window and silently admires the current progress you both made on the farm.

• Between the two annual spring festivities, I would say the flower dance. Diluc is a private man and would prefer to take things where no eyes were on sight. But with a little bit of nudging from Gus (your wingman), he gives in and leads you to the center stage. Elegant. Graceful. The way you two moved together became the talk of the event. Though, Diluc was already used to people staring by now, all he needed to do was to ignore them and keep his focus on you.

• Summer: No blankets in bed. Nope, its bloody hot in Pelican Town. He tends to stay indoors or anywhere with shade, in other words, his work hours in the Saloon increased.

• Diluc always has a nice cold drink prepared for you if by any chance you were to pay a visit after a whole day of labour. It's a habit he's made subconciously as if it would be a natural occurance for you to enter the door. His colleagues would ask him who did he make that drink for? Honestly so cute i cri

• Moments like these remind him of Mondstadt, where he quietly wipes the glasses while listening to you talk. Your voice is soothing. Sun rays peek from the side casting onto the umber tables, reflecting a rich golden light as the radio plays a soft song in the background. It's so peaceful, the town was small hence not many people visited the bar, Diluc came to appreciate this warm privacy (plus no Venti and Kaeya which is a huge pog realization).

• Autumn: Harvest time baby. The kegs are full and the sheds are full of kegs. This season was huge stonks and the house ended up getting an upgrade. Diluc is the type of man who wants to make sure that his spouse wouldn't have to work another day of her life. I reckon this is why he's so ambitious because he wants you to have the best and you deserve the best. (Husband material. Slap a ring on him ladies).

When there was no more work left to do, time would be spend peacefully exploring the woods. While you skipped a few steps ahead as the leaves crunched beneath your feets, Diluc follows slowly from behind. He sees your back but his eyes stares somewhere far beyond whats in front of him: His future.

It was such a stark contrast to the one he envisioned before. One filled with uncertaintly, blocked by darkness with no silver lining in sight, endlessly wandering as he drags the claymore against the ground. There was never a day in which the Darknight hero wouldn't think of Mondstadt. Leaving the city in the incompetent hands of Ordo Favonious while Abyss Mages continue to lurk fuels him to find a way to return as soon as possible and yet...

"Higher big sis!" Jas tightens her hold on the ropes as you pushed the swing with all your might. She laughs, like a child, it was full of innocence and joy. Later Vincent came in and nugdes you, asking when his turn will come.

"You wanna go too? Alright alright don't worry," waiting for Jas to come down, you lift the boy up so that he was seated safely on the chair, "3..2..1 go!"

He wonders if he could just be a little selfish for once.

• Winter: Best man to have in this season. Every morning Diluc would find himself restricted in movements due to a pair of arms around his waist and legs entangled with yours. Turns out you've been doing it subconciously because he's just so warm (Diluc keeps it lowkey and pretends to sleep longer cuz of it)

~~xx~~

Kaeya

• Haha looks like the portal is gone, guess we'll be stuck forever :)). No kidding Kaeya would be so down to stay here for the rest of his life and the best part is to spend it with you. He doesn't show a shred of concern regarding Teyvat, not like he's easily shaken by events that are abnormal, but you can see that Kaeya is truly and genuinely happy. (You're stunned).

• Oho we also have this marvelous landscape just for the two of us? And a cozy little cabin to go along with it as well? This should be fun~

• Of course Kaeya would also know a few things about planting, just the basics since he did grow up with Diluc. When they were kids, Crepus would give each of them their own pots so they can grow their own plants. It eventually became a competitive thing where whoever's plant grows the fastest gets to eat the other person's dessert for a year (no one wins. They end up sabotaging each other which Diluc started first, thinking it'll be funny as a joke).

• You are, and will be going on dates with him. In fact, the amount of dates you two went on increased since then. The townspeople would call you two "lovebirds" since he's practically by your side 24/7.

• I mean he doesn't have the responsibilities as a Cavalry Captain anymore so what else is there to do?

• Would attend all annual events no matter what season.

• Evelyn constantly gushes how much of a wonderful pair you and Kaeya make and often is the one who provides Kaeya a fresh bouqet of flowers for him to use as a gift. George on the otherhand just rolled his eyes mumbling something along the lines of "youngsters these days" and "crazy hormones."

• Befriends Pam. Love for beer plus somewhat cynical attitude? They get along real swell! She starts sending some recipes into the mailbox of course saying if yall ever need a hand, let her know.

• Spring: I can see Kaeya be switching back and forth between caring for the farm or taking quests posted on Pierre's bulletin board. He likes to keep things interesting, learning the ways of the new world while also getting to know the people around town.

• Would NOT return Mayor Lewis' shorts in which he found in Marnie's room. It's such high quality blackmail material. Kaeya is currently plotting what is the best way to use it to his advantage.

• He didn't tell you of course.

• Summer: There are no blankets because he is your blanket. Since your cabin was small so was the bed. That's why he has to hold you so that no one falls off when rolling over. Either he hugs you with your nose close to his neck, or your back against his chest while spooning you or holding hands if sleeping on your sides became too much. Yall need a serious house upgrade.

• For some reason Kaeya becomes more energetic in the summer. He lets you rest in the shade while handling the farm work for the time being. If you guys got a pet it would be a cat. Hes the first one to refill their bowl every morning outside.

Another day passes as summer comes to an end, the town’s Mayor invited you and your lover to see the annual Dance Of the Moonlight Jellies. Kaeya being the opportunist was delighted to come along. Locking the door of your house, you follow him down the path and made your way to the beach.

Everyone from town was already gathered by the docks when the sun had disappeared down the horizon. You stood by his side in a space far from the others, watching the candle boats set off to ride the waves, lighting up a small ray of light for creatures to find.

“Wow,” your tone almost above a whisper, “If only our friends back home could see this too.”

“Perhaps,” he says. Kaeya slips his fingers into yours and you shot him a curious glance, “But let us enjoy this moment shall we? Just the two of us.”

And there they were. A sea of luminescence radiating colours of brilliant blue with hints of green like a city of laterns floating in a world below. Their image reflects in the star of Kaeya's eyes as he wonders, where would they go? Where would the light lead them? They were so free with nothing to worry, so serene just like the sea and unknowningly, he squeezes your hand. It was a sense for confirmation. One to remind him that this moment was indeed a reality he wishes to keep.

Autumn: Finally a house upgrade and a kitchen!! Because it was harvest season, you guys end up making a set of delicious meals with all the recipes the townspeople gave you. Kaeya can cook since he lived by himself back in Mondstadt. Most of the stuff he learned to make were food that can be accompanied by alcohol though...

• Ahah remember Mayor Lewis' lucky shorts? He found a use for them. It was displayed on the stands during the Stardew Valley Fair (Oh my how did this get here? Must be the wind). Ends up buying a Rarecrow for the farm when Lewis bribes him not to tell this to anyone.

Winter: This was mostly an indoor season for the both of you. With the existence of television, nights would be spent until morning while watching movies at the couch. A blanket drapes around your shoulders as extends to his. Oh and don't forget the hot chocolate!

Masterlist

imma reveal one of my big sis mari plots

.. here it goes

okay so basically it’s with the end of hawkmoth battle

damian likes to go in the batcave and watch ladybug fights — it’s on live

he’s watching it and basically ladybug gets thrown into a building

though as she gets up her eyes turn green, so she quickly covers her eyes (ppl probably think the girl is crying) when she removes her eyes they’re back to being blue (eye contacts??? hmm 😟😏🤷🏾‍♀️)

so she’s now having an adrenaline rush and starts to literally punch hawkmoth and it’s revealed to be..

.. gabriel agreste

so ladybug being done with this she’s screams

“SAY SIKE RN SAY SIKE RN I KNEW IT” and she’s just like undermining herself, and like all that bc she thought it was gabriel a while ago bc of him owning the grimoire.

and she’s even worried of chat bc in this they had an accidental identity reveal

she screams “LUCKY CHARM” and gets a baseball bat (yes i thought of this genius i know.. if i wanted to be extra i would’ve said crowbar)

she immediately gets it snatched from her hand by chat and he’s beating gabriel with a baseball bat (crazy huh)

and then ladybug holds him back and is like “chat give me the baseball bat” he grudgingly gives it to her and she’s like SIKE I LIED YO PANCAKES IS DRY RESPECTFULLY (she didn’t say that i just wanted to say sike but like i was in the tiktok moment)

she snatched it and hits hawky with the baseball bat until he falls out of consciousness, and chat himself had to stop her

after that she gets Kaalki from her bug phone and uses her phone to get on a call

“yes.. i’ll be opening a portal for you. bye mother.” (😏)

and then the portal opened and ***** walks out in all glory..

~~~~~~

from across the screen Damian yells “MOTHER?”

~~~~~~

okay so talia comes out hugs her daughter and sends her guards to collect gabriel

yup he’s going to the league and he can’t escape sorry not sorry

and in this story mayura/nathalie spends 3 years in prison only bc she quit her job after she realizes gabriel had no intention of loving her, so she gave her miraculous to ladybug and helped her defeat hawky

~~~~~~

now after that all the reporters are in their faces

“ladybug who was that lady?”

“is she your mother?”

“is hawkmoth defeated?”

“what now happens to adrien agreste?”

then chat noir would be like no questions until

then ladybug would pass out (yes the dramatics) and chat noir would carry her.. 😏 bridal style to the dupain-cheng house

~~~~

now the dupain-chengs knew there was something up with her daughter

coming to school late, random excuses, rarely helping in the bakery

they were gonna talk to her about it until one night they hear

“TIKKI! SPOTS ON!” 🤦🏾‍♀️👩🏾‍🦯

from then on they knew not to worry

that was their marinette always helping people

~~~~

(i’m getting lazy guys 😟😟)

anyways ladynoir would sleep for two days in marinette’s bed

then she’s get a guardian sense to teleport to a specific coordinate which someone how lead to..

wayne manor??

(i can’t believe it? i would never expect to- okay i’ll stop lol 😹)

~~~~

Now everyone in the wayne family were having a forced family movie night hosted by Dick

Now Dick was coming back to the family room after fixing himself a bowl of cereal when suddenly he dropped it and a portal opened in front of him

“magic portal?! magic portal!!” dick shouted as two gorgeous looking couple came out

(just kidding cut out the gorgeous part 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ i was trying to say something that adrinette both have in common but like- nvm.)

the wayne members headed to where dick was with their weapons on them

it’s all silent until the woman with black-blue hair shouts “dami!!!”

she hugs dami goes on her tippy toes and ruffles his hair and baby talks him

“omg, you’re so big now!! you’re taller than me! wait- how old are you? wait- wait wait- what’s your measurements?”

she tries to get her sketchbook out until she remembers that she’s being a marinette

ohh.

oh.

“Hello. Um- I’m Marinette Dupain-Cheng, this is Adrien and I’m Damians-“ The woman starts, but is cut off with Damian mouthing and no, and shaking his head.

“Damian, you know I kind of have to or else they’re gonna think I’m evil or something.” Says Marinette

“Anyways i’m Damians older sister and i don’t even know how I got here- well i do, but i didn’t even know the address.” Marinette spoke.

“Yes I’m biological, yes i know who my father and mother are, and no i’m not being a bat.” Marinette said, quickly answering any question going to come.

“Anyways, just came here to say hi, and to give you this.” Marinette says, as she gets a gift bag out of thin air.

(I’m getting too lazy guys i’m gonna just summarize)

She hands him a gift bag. (Yes ik i already said that)

she’s says her goodbyes and adrinette leave from the same portal

everyone stares into space for a while, and then jason asks bruce

“Bruce, did even know about this?” Jason said exasperatedly.

Bruce looked completely out of it.

So they all went to Damian. (Next victim- oh i mean person.)

But Damian just walked to his room and locked the door.

~~~~~

When Damian opened the bag.

There was a box.

When he opened the box. (i’m so annoying ik)

There were pictures of Marinette and Damian together.

-One with him being completely straight faced.

-One with Marinette hugging and kissing his cheek.

-One with Marinette dressing him up. (Fashion designer okay?)

-*you can make stuff up*

Damian quickly looked around. (Not trying to be caught in 4k i see, huh?)

and softly smiled before drifting off to sleep

~~~~

ty for sticking around with my crazy thoughts.

ngl it was wayy better in my head, and every time i said i’m getting lazy i kept going so ig i’m making progress.

Okay if y’all have read my top 2020 danmei list from a week or two back, you’ll know this is currently my favourite danmei (outside of Qi Wei Shang + 2ha hahaha), so here’s a proper, full rec!

- Part of Min’s ‘Why You Should Read’ Series -

Summary:

Ji Yan Ran is the Emperor’s brother and wields military power in the novel, and it starts with an object being stolen from the palace. Ji Yan Ran has to retrieve the item secretly, and so enlists the help of Feng Yu Sect’s Sect Master, Yun Yi Feng, who heads the martial arts world’s one and only information trading post. Yun Yi Feng does not deal in business that involves any royalty, but Jing Yan Ran offers him something he cannot refuse - the Blood Red Lingzhi, a rare and mystical herb that is rumoured to be able to treat his life-threatening condition.

Yun Yi Feng was used by his shifu when he was younger to test out all kinds of poisons and cures, and since then, his body flushes dangerously hot and cold frequently, with bouts of severe coughing fits in between. Throughout the first mission where he spends time with Ji Yan Ran searching for the stolen object, he allows Jing Yan Ran to take care of him. Their relationship is pretty flirty and touchy right off the bat, with Ji Yan Ran knowing really clearly that he wants to take care of Yun Yi Feng. When Yun Yi Feng goes anywhere without a coat, JYR always has one ready. He promises all his riches to him, even his mother hahaha (but that’s because he knows he deceived YYF with the Blood Red Lingzhi and is willing to give YYF everything else while also continuing to look for the lingzhi for him).

Of course, they have to uncover a plot and conspiracy against their enemies who are plotting to dethrone the Emperor, and also reveal the secrets of Yun Yi Feng’s birth.

Read:

Novel (Online) | Novel (Print) - Not Available | Novel Translations | Manhua

Characters:

1. 云倚风 Yun Yi Feng (right) - The revered Sect Master of Feng Yu Sect as his sect controls the flow and movement of information. People from all over buy information or hire the sect to help them get information, and is considered a neutral sect within the wuxia world. Very intelligent, a cool-headed strategist who also loves riches, whose eyes light up at the sight of treasures and money.

He was a child remnant of a war, and picked up by his shifu Gui Ci, who brought him to this island to live with other kids he picked up. His first few years were spent rather happily there, but then one day the man gave all the children bowls of what they thought was soup but ended up being poison because Gui Ci wanted to test out his new concoctions. At the end, only YYF survived after multiple ingestions of poisons and experimental cures. Because he was the ‘strongest’ out of all the other children, Gui Ci began testing out all sorts of poisons and cures on him after. If someone came to him after having been poisoned, Gui Ci would poison YYF in the same way as a test subject to use cures on, and only after they worked on YYF would he use them on the patient.

His shifu is considered a mad man, and the last straw was when he locked YYF up with several scorpions for a few days and YYF was the closest thing to death at that moment, and afterwards, realizing that he’d gone overboard, Gui Ci is more careful about poisoning him, allowing him to have a slightly more normal childhood, but because of this YYF’s body would flush hot and cold frequently and unbearably. He manages to escape from Gui Ci and sets up Feng Yu Sect.

He only has 5 years left to live if he doesn’t find the Blood Red Lingzhi, when he meets Ji Yan Ran and his request. After meeting JYR he realizes how sweet life is, to have someone who always thinks of him, who cares about his well-being, who wants to make him happy, who buys and gives him everything he wants. In the beginning he is unable to reciprocate knowing he’ll die soon, but they get together anyway after a close call, as JYR tries to find the Lingzhi for him.

He also loves to cook and play the zither, but is so bad at both!! He’s so terrible that every time he approaches the kitchen or the zither the servants themselves try to redirect him subtly and chase him away because they CANNOT stand his dishes or his music hahahaha.

2. 季燕然 Ji Yan Ran (left) - Army commander/general, and a prince. Close to the Emperor, who’s his older brother, and takes a liking to YYF the moment he meets him. He bluffs YYF, says that he has the Blood Red Lingzhi, and then realizing how much YYF needs it, he feels more guilty and guilty for lying to him, and once admitting it, he promises to do whatever it takes to find it for him.

He’s very smart as well, has eyes only for YYF and is willing to indulge him in every single whim he has. If YYF complains that he doesn’t have anything to wear (even in jest), JYR has the garment stores in the whole city send 10 outfits each for YYF to pick. And even though he hates YYF’s cooking and playing of the zither, he lets him do it anyway, fond but exasperated while everyone is staring daggers at him for not stopping YYF.

A few years ago, a close friend of his and the Emperor’s died, and JYR suspects that their father had something to do with it. It’s something that has been troubling him for many years and it’s a dilemma for him because he has to balance between questioning the Emperor but also trusting him and being a good brother/official to him, as clues keep pointing towards the Emperor and his father being involved in shady deals/decisions. His relationship with the Emperor, his brother, can be described as close, but of course even though they are close and trust each other to a good extent, there is still room for a tiny bit of doubt that both brothers are well aware of due to their positions, not that this affects their relationship.

Openly is affectionate to YYF in front of everyone, including his mother, who likes YYF alot as well. YYF once worried if the Emperor would oppose his relationship with him, but JYR said that their relationship should put the Emperor even more at ease, because the world and other officials would not recognize an Emperor who liked men and didn’t have any children, meaning that JYR becomes an even smaller threat to the throne.

3. 暮成雪 Mu Cheng Xue - An assassin who keeps popping up throughout the novel, and is a frenemy to YYF especially because he stole the cuteass snow leopard that was supposed to be YYF’s and refuses to return it. Not good nor bad, he does whatever he’s paid for.

4. 江凌飞 Jiang Ling Fei - JYR’s godbrother, who didn’t have a good childhood with no one to protect him in the Jiang family, one of the big wuxia families in the novel, as he had no parents and was technically brought up by his scheming uncles/cousins etc. He befriended JYR when they were younger and acknowledged JYR’s mother as his godmother because she was truly and genuinely good to him, and spends a large part of his days running in and out of the Jing manor. He’s JYR’s right hand man, but his dream is to be a bum wandering through different parts of the world, having fun whenever instead of being boggled down by duties to the Jiang family and other things.

Amazing Scenes:

YYF unceremoniously using JYR’s arm as a pillow while he’s talking

Basically YYF fainting and getting sick a lot and JYR always there to catch him ;-; To dote on him!!! Ahhhh my heart

Other Things I Like in the Novel:

The first time YYF plays the zither in the Jing manor, JYR’s mother, shaking, goes to JYR and asks, “Is Yun-er learning some evil cultivation music?”

YYF tends to go out to the markets and will buy back 2kg of flour for example, while all the servants shudder in the fear and cry in front of JYR, who can only sigh but indulge him

YYF’s favourite things include JYR’s mother taking his blankets out to soak up the sunlight in the day so he has fluffy, warmth-filled and fresh-smelling covers everyday to collapse into

JYR once asked YYF if it’s a good thing that he met him, and YYF says, “Of course it’s a good thing I met wangye, because of you, I now know that life can be sweet and warm too.”

YYF carves out what he thinks the Blood Red Lingzhi looks like based on some bogus description JYR gave him and because he’s so hopeful and happy about finally being able to have the lingzhi, he carves it out and wears it like a pendant, and everytime JYR sees it he wants to slap himself for being such a motherfucking asshole and deceiving this man

YYF keeps forgetting his cape/coat, so JYR always gives him his, but YYF keeps taking and not returning and on the fourth time it happens, YYF looks at JYR expectantly, and JYR says, “You’ve already taken three, this is my last one, I’m gonna freeze to death, left without a cape if I give you this one”

JYR always tempts YYF into doing things by giving him treasures, and jokingly promises YYF his army commander ring, which symbolizes his authority and power, and YYF unceremoniously takes it knowing what it is, and refuses to return it to him - After a few times this happens, JYR makes a replica of it so they matchy matchy ;-;

They travel South in a holiday for a few months after the first arc is wrapped up, knowing that YYF doesn’t have much time left to live, and every single day is painful for JYR as the time YYF spends conscious decreases day by day

YYF asks for some oil/salve to use as lube from the army camp’s physician, a night before JYR is due to go off for war, and the physician scolds the messenger for having the time to think about such thoughts, and when the messenger says it’s for YYF, physician is like “... oh. okay, here you go, give this to him” without another word HAHAHAHA

#a sword of frost #danmei #danmei recs #一剑霜寒 #min's why you should read #cnovel #i'm determined to complete 10 so bear with me yall!!!#hahahahhaa

Congrats on 200!! 🤗

I would love 🖼 a moodboard for .... hhhhmmmm how about HotchReid?

And I can't find a pencil, but I would love any blurb about HotchReid as well ❤

Eeeehhh I'm excited!! Congrats again! 🤗

I am ALWAYS on board for HotchReid, and you were my other freestyle moodboard so you get my Light!HotchReid moodboard that’s all soft and warm and romantic <3

AND IN THAT VEIN, I had an idea and ran with it so this is half blurb/half one-shot and idk where it came from but have some domestic, established relationship HotchReid C: and thank you so much for sending me the asks and celebrating with me!

//In which Jack outs his dad and Spencer’s relationship before they even get a chance to call it one//

They don’t mean to start sneaking around. Honestly they don’t.

It just… happens.

There was no rhyme or reason for it, hiding what was very obviously becoming a permanent fixture in their lives in and outside of work. This gradual build up of moments and conversations and late nights that turned to intimacy as easily as everything else about them. Shared looks, subtle touches, feather-light at first -- until the glances turned heavy and the touches more prominent. The stolen moments turned to stolen nights, hidden behind hotel room doors or buried in tangled sheets back home in D.C.

They didn’t need to hide anything. Not from the team, their friends they considered closer than family. But they did -- purely because they didn’t want to share this yet. Label it. Place it in those societal boxes of expectations and questions and future aspirations when right now it was… so easy. So perfect. Almost domestic in its comfort it offered, because it was theirs and theirs alone. It can be whatever they wanted it to be --

And right now, it felt like home.

Hotch always rises with the sun. He goes on early morning runs at all times of the year, rain or shine, even when it snows. He’s always back in enough time to get Jack up and ready for school, shower and get himself dressed for work, he’s a creature of habit and routine is his comfort zone. But now --

Now, sometimes it’s hard to leave his bed in the mornings, and the sight that always greets him when he returns from his runs makes him smile like he hasn’t in a long time.

Spencer sleeps much later, sometimes until Hotch is done showering and has already tried to wake him up two or three times with bribes of coffee. Kissing his cheek or wild curls while still smelling like sweat from his run, and Spencer swats at him or hides under the covers without even opening his eyes. And Hotch lets him until it gets too close to the time when they need to head into the office.

“Why does Spencer get to sleep in?” Jack asks with a tired whine, now nine-years-old and pouting over his bowl of cereal as Spencer finally drags himself from bed and to the coffee pot at half past seven in the morning. Hotch smirks and weaves around the man, scooping him close to kiss him good morning before letting him continue his trek.

“Because he finishes his homework before bedtime,” Hotch answers his son, looking pointedly at the half completed math homework on the kitchen table. The deluge of questions were just another diversion tactic, he could see right through it, and he doesn’t let up until Jack picks up his pencil once more.

“You have homework?” Jack asks Spencer, who sits beside him and is still rubbing his eyes beneath his glasses. Steam off his coffee the only breath of life he needs to wake up fully.

“Oh, I always have homework. Last night it was actually Morgan’s ‘homework’, he thinks I don’t notice when he slips files onto my desk.”

Hotch sends Spencer a reprimanding look, because they both know that Morgan and Prentiss slip Spencer files all the time and he’s supposed to be putting his foot down about it.

“He should really do his own homework,” Jack mumbles, glaring at his own math equations.

“Well you be sure to tell him that when you see him again, Jack.” Spencer would pay good money to see that conversation, and he smiles fondly at the young boy for having his back.

It’s barely ten minutes later when Spencer is getting up from the table and is gravitating towards the coffee pot for cup number two when Jack pipes up again.

“Hey -- was I supposed to not tell anyone about Spencer living here?”

Hotch and Spencer look at each other, not realizing that… really that was what had happened in plain terms. Spencer did indeed live there. He couldn’t even remember the last time that he had been back to his apartment. Weeks, maybe.

“It’s not really a secret bud, why?” Hotch asks, hesitant because… it’s not a secret, they just haven’t said anything to anyone.

“Because Aunt Penny didn’t know and now she’s sending me lots of screaming emojis.”

Spencer looks to his phone and he also happens to have about a dozen text messages from Penelope. Most of it unintelligible key smashes and strings of pictures.

“No texting at breakfast, you know better,” Hotch reprimands Jack as he checks his own phone. The juxtaposition making Jack scowl and Spencer snicker. Hotch finds he doesn’t have as many messages from their tech analyst, but he does have a few. The whole team probably knows already.

He sends out a text to everyone that says ‘team meeting 9am’

“Guess I don’t have to take the train today.” Spencer is giving him a look over his coffee mug, amused but still hesitant. “I feel like we should be nervous, but I’m not.”

Hotch can’t help the smirk of a smile on his face as he presses Spencer to the counter and kisses him fully, but still at least a little chaste -- with Jack making gagging sounds in the background. ’Dad, gross--’

“Finish your homework, and go brush your teeth,” he tells him without looking over. One more kiss that tastes like coffee and too much sugar, grinning a little too wide.

“I can’t tell if you’re happy, or plotting something.”

“A bit of both,” Hotch answers cryptically.

“Now I’m nervous.”

“Don’t be, I’ve been planning for this day for a long time.” But he keeps his secrets to himself as he ushers Spencer towards the bedroom -- their bedroom, he now realizes -- to make him get ready for work.

An hour later, the team is gathered at the round table in the conference room, and Hotch passes out binders to everyone packed with training material.

"Wait, this is an actual team meeting?" Prentiss blanches.

"How is this not about you and Reid sleeping together!?" The shock of a five pound binder in their hands seems to have taken any accusational tones out of anyone’s voices, but Hotch still scowls at Morgan’s outburst, and Spencer immediately jumps to their defense.

"We aren't sleeping together, we're…" they look at each other. "Living together. Are together."

"Dating." Hotch simplifies.

"Okay, so this ISN'T about you two 'dating'?" JJ elaborates this time, careful gaze darting between them, as is everyone else’s.

"No, this is about how none of you noticed we were dating,” Hotch answers evenly, calmly. “If it had been about announcing ourselves, the text would have said ‘family’ meeting."

That makes a few people smile, Penelope making a soft squeal in delight, and it changes the air in the room dramatically.

"So ‘family’ dinner Saturday, Dave's house thank you for volunteering." Hotch says, just to wipe the smug look off the older man's face. He hadn’t said a word, yet, but with the smirk he’d been sporting all morning he didn’t need to.

"This," he points to binders. “is a refresher course you all get to audit. Profiling 101, I want them on my desk by the end of the week. Morgan do not pass it off to Reid, you're doing your own homework this time."

Spencer can’t help it, he laughs. Hotch manages not to -- even in the face of Morgan’s comically betrayed expression.

At least Jack would be pleased to hear it.

#I still have no idea how to do tags on asks until after the fact #someone teach me your ways #idek where this came from you guys I kind of wrote it in a sugar-induced frenzy #but it's cute and sweet and I'm in a Dad!Hotch mood lately so have some family dynamics <3 #200followerasks #asks #katyswriting #katysmoodboards #HotchReid #Heid

That time of the month

Zion × Reader

Plot: Fluffy story of Zion helping you out when your period starts and him confessing his love for you.

(Y/N POV)

It is Monday and I am supposed to be at work by 8 but as you wake up you feel the pain all women dread. I started my period and I literally can't get out of bed and it is an hour before you have to go to work (fml). It is more painful than normal, my cramps hurt so much that I am in a ball on my bed. I texted my boss and told her I can't come in and had to use a sick day that I had. My first phone call is to one of the closest people to me, Zion who is my best friend. He would always help out when he wasn't playing fortnite or doing stuff with the band. I call him and he groggily answers after the fourth ring "hello" you try to speak but I start crying because the pain was so intense. I heard him shuffle around really hard and then eventually I mustered up the courage enough to say "I'm okay I just…" He hangs up the phone and you try texting him to let him know that you are okay but nothing.

Ten minutes later you hear the door opening (he knew where the spare key was) and you heard him yelling (Y/N). I weakly called out to him, he made it to my room wearing a t-shirt and night pants and he said "where is the person and why did they hurt you". You softly tell him to sit down and slightly hit your hand on your bed. He gets more upset and tells you "I am not sitting down no matter what" so you have to quickly tell him that no one hurt you. He looks at you unsure of the facial expression that you are making but it is enough to finally calm him down. He sits down beside you and you have to tell him that it is that time of the month. He started to understand everything better and he asked if you needed anything. You smile through your pain and ask for an ice and heat pack. He got up and walked out without another word. A few minutes passed which was odd since he knew where everything was and just as you are starting to call out for him he opens the door with your favorite breakfast in bed tray.

You slowly turn your body and he tells you not to move. He put the tray on your nightstand, he had the ice pack wrapped up in a towel so it wouldn't be so cold on your skin. He slowly turns you upright and puts the ice pack on your lower stomach where it hurts most. He smiled and playfully said "you woke me up out of my sleep you better be lucky that I…." He went silent immediately and coughed and tried to change the subject asking about how you felt. You smile and try not to press on what he said so you said "I feel like I got hit by a bus and a truck at the same time and being stabbed and life sucks." He laughed and assured you that by the end of the day you would feel better. He grabbed both of your arms on the bottom and slowly started sitting you up and you got settled. He gently brushes your hair to the side out of your face and you look over at the tray as he reaches for it.

He grabbed a bowl and picked it up with a spoon. You smile and say it is too early for soup but he makes you eat the chicken noodle soup anyways because it will help. He also had crackers and ginger ale. You laugh with some pain and tell him you are not sick. You feel like your stomach is being stabbed from the inside out. "This is what I know how to do.. wait I have to go get you some chocolate that will help right?" This was the nicest gesture someone had done for you in a long time and he grabs his phone and sends a text. "Thanks so much Z but you don't have to get chocolate, you have already done so much for me I appreciate it." He smiles and he turns on your tv hoping for you to get settled a little more. Thirty minutes later after watching some of an episode of The Originals. There is a ring at your door bell and he gets up and answers it and you hear mumbling and what sounds like the other boys from the band they walk in your room.

They were all in their pj's and asked if you were okay. You let them know you are okay and you see Nick come in with some chocolate and some fake flowers and a get well soon card. You smile and tell all of them to give you a hug and Z steps back. You motioned for him to get into the big group hug. It hurt but you were happy they were there and they were being sweet about it. Z switches the ice pack to the heating pack and puts it on the lowest setting so it would not create more pain for you. They were all on the bed and they picked up from where the episode left off and you slowly fell asleep. You wake up and everyone is gone and the TV is paused. You are still a little sleepy but you feel better with your stomach pain. You were able to finally get out of bed, and walk into the living room and see the boys. They all check to see how you are feeling and Z stood up and walked up to you and kissed you out of nowhere.

You are stunned and realize his kiss is like honey and you slowly melted and in a way forgot about your pain. But you slowly pull away because you remember the other boys are there. They all awkwardly leave and you ask Z why he did that. He said "Talking to the boys made me realize that I love you a lot (Y/N). I will always help you out no matter what even if that means waking me up out of my sleep. I want to be with you and take care of you when you don't feel good because you always take care of me and everyone else around you. You have a heart of gold and I feel like you and your heart were made for me, I love you and that is never going to change." You start smiling and tears streaming down your face at the same time, his words touched you because you felt the same way about him. You confess your love for him and he kisses you and his adorable beaming smile that lights up the room that was only focused on you was all you could ask for.

100 ways to say I love you - TimKon edition:

Number 43: “I picked these for you.”

Enjoy! :D

Kon bops his head along to the music playing in his earphones, completely absorbed in his own world as he browses the shelves of different isles in the store. It’s his turn to do the snack run for the team’s fortnightly movie night. What usually happens is that everyone chips in some money then one person is selected to go out and make the run to the store while the others set everything else up. This time it happens to be Kon.

In all honestly he doesn’t mind doing it. Going to the store means he has control on what snacks he gets for the team and in what quantities. He travels through the shop slowly adding items that appeal to him into the basket he’s carrying as he goes.

He grabs a variety of things, making sure there’s enough for everyone to have something of each thing. Crisps, dips, chocolate, sweets, ice cream, biscuits and even bottles of drink. Whatever doesn’t get eaten can be used another day unless Bart decides to devour it all anyway.

When the basket is practically overflowing Kon decides that he has more than enough and goes to the checkout to pay. The lady at the till gives him a curious look for all of the food he’s buying but doesn’t comment on it, in response Kon gives her a tight smile and awkwardly packs away everything into a few different plastic bags.

When everything is paid for he heads out of the shop and makes his way back to the Tower. It doesn’t take him long and once he’s there he makes his way to the media room where his friends are now all set up for the night.

The main lights are off, making the only light in the room coming from the TV which is showing a movie title screen. Across two sofas are a variety of blankets and pillows and finally the coffee table between them has many bowls and cups awaiting to be filled with the snacks Kon’s just brought.

His friends are currently sprawled out on the two sofas. Bart and Cassie on one and Tim on the other. Kon isn’t surprised to find it like this, after all this is their usual set up, he and Tim would cuddle together on one while the other two bicker about having their own space on the other sofa. Occasionally they would change it up, or even at times all piles onto one sofa, that only happens after rough times though.

Kon walks into the room and places two of the three bags he’s got down on the coffee table. Instantly the three of them lunge towards the bags and start rummaging through the contents. They grab different snacks and empty them into different bowls and set aside other bags for later.

Amidst the sorting out Cassie cheers when she pulls out a bag of Twizzlers which Kon had especially picked up for her. She chucks them behind her to her space on the couch and carries on rummaging through the bags. Not long after that Bart voices his excitement when he pulls out a couple bags of Doritos.

Kon smirks to himself as he watches Tim look more closely at the rest of the contents, clearly looking for something. He has to bite his lips to keep himself from laughing out loud when a look of disappointment crosses his boyfriend’s face when he doesn’t find what he clearly wants.

For the moment Kon ignores it, he moves over to his and Tim’s sofa and sits down glances at the others. “So what are we watching first?”

“We are watching Ace Ventura.”

Kon hums in thought. He doesn’t think he’s seen this one, so at least it’s something different for a change. He keeps his focus on Cassie and questions her about the film, simply asking for a basic outline so he gets some idea on what it’s about.

As Cassie roughly describes the plot to him Kon could feel eyes on him and he stops himself from reacting to it. Teasing Tim is too much fun sometimes. Once she’s finished talking Kon finally turns to Tim and acknowledges him. “You okay Tim?” He continues to act oblivious much to Tim’s disappointment.

Tim pouts at him, even going as far as to stick his bottom lip out for extra effect, and proceeds to stare at him with a puppy dog look without saying anything. Tim doesn’t drop the look for some time and eventually Kon gives in with a roll of his eyes. He’s never been able to withstand that look. Kon reaches for the third plastic bag he had brought back with him, which he hid behind his legs when he sat down, and grabs Tim’s favoured snack.

“Don’t worry, I picked these for you,” Kon says laughing as he presents to Tim a large bag of marshmallows, “I promise I didn’t forget.”

The pout on Tim’s face instantly disappears and is replaced with a gleeful smile. His boyfriend reaches out and grabs the bag before leaning over to place a kiss onto Kon’s lips. “Thank you.”

Amused, Kon snorts. “Anyone would think you’re a spoilt brat with the way you acted after not immediately finding what you wanted.” He means it as a joke of course, if anything Tim is one of the most selfless people he’s ever met.

Tim raises an eyebrow and smirks. “Well I am rich. Why wouldn’t I get what I want?”

Kon opens his mouth to respond but he’s stopped short by Tim’s lips pressing against his own. They kiss slowly but deeply for several moments, long enough for Kon to forget where they even are before Tim is pulling away again.

He sends Kon a soft appreciative smile. “Seriously, thanks though. I’ve been craving marshmallows all week. These will do nicely!”

“You always crave marshmallows. I honestly don’t understand why you like them so much.”

“Because I do, that’s why. I don’t judge your food choices so don’t judge mine.”

“Um excuse me? You always judge what I eat! Just last week you made a comment about my burger when we went out for lunch.”

“Yes I did because no one puts that kind of sauce on a burger! It’s weird and is virtually disgusting.”

“Don’t knock it until you try it Tim. You never know what kinds of flavours go together.”

The two of them are brought out of their bickering by Cassie clearing her throat and getting their attention. “If you two are quite done, we have a film to watch.”

They each send her sheepish smile and Kon waves for her to start the film. From next to her Bart snickers, his hand already buried deep in one of the bags of Doritos. “They bicker like an old married couple.”

Cassie rolls her eyes as she settles into the back of the couch, wrapping a blanket around herself. “That’s because they already are.”

“We’re not that bad.” Tim defends weakly, also slouching into the corner of the sofa to get comfy. Kon makes a face, not fully agreeing with Tim’s comment but otherwise stays silent.

“I beg to differ.” Cassie retorts with a roll of her eyes and Kon knows there’s no heat behind the action.

Shaking his head, Kon dismisses the whole thing. He turns his focus onto the TV as the film finally begins to play. He shifts over on the sofa so he’s tucked up against Tim and takes his boyfriend into his arms and together they settle in a cuddling position. That’s how they stay for the rest of the evening as different films are put on, as the snacks all get devoured and as the evening turns into night.

“Queen Banana” episode summary:

- The episode begins with the kwami watching Marinette finished a cape for the "superhero of creation," already done with one for the "superhero of destruction." Xuppu assumes she means Chat Noir and Ladybug, but Marinette explains that it's for a movie. Orikko asks if she'll become famous and Marinette replies that she's the costume designer and won't play along, though everyone will be on the news. She then panics that she's going to be late and hurries out while grabbing everything she needs.

- Later, Nadja is on the news, talking about the movie project, and Clara (a reporter, not Nightingale) is in the art club of the school, explaining that Thomas Astruc (an apparently "famous director" now) came thanks to the art teacher and he's supervising the students, who have made the script, storyboard, costumes, and chose to use their holiday time to make a movie. Marinette also comes into the art room in the background while the camera is rolling and trips. The reporter goes to give credit to the mayor's involvment, and he starts to talk about him directing a film, but she cuts him off to say that the film will release in the theater, thanking Bob Roth as he's the producer.

- Mylene is the villain of the story while Zoe is the hero. Chloe sees this over the news and throws a banana peel at the screen, angry that her half-sister is the star. Sabrina offers Chloe a bowl of bananas, asking if she wants another as "potassium lifts spirits." Chloe snatches one and rambles angrily about showing them how things are done in real life - her life - as she storms off. Sabrina follows.

- Cut back to the class, where Zoe (in character as her hero role) is talkng to Mylene (also in character as her villain role) and says that she (Zoe's character) loves her even if she (Mylene's character) hates her. Before she can finish, Chloe storms in and expresses how appaled she is that they gave the role to her half-sister "who came out of nowhere," and with her dad's money at that. Andre tries to say that it's the city's money, but Chloe insists that that's the same thing. She yells at Zoe and reminds her about the threats to send her back to New York if she got in her way, and now she's both in her way and on TV.

- Marinette encourages Zoe to stand up for herself because she deserves the role. Thomas says that it's too late to change things because they're meeting the translator tomorrow. The art teacher reminds Chloe that she turned down the chance to participate, including all the insults to people she threw, to which Chloe doesn't even remember. Still, she confirms that she still thinks that but won't let her sister have the role if the movie's going to the theaters and might make someone a star, as it should be her. She demands Zoe's role because everything Zoe has is hers. Chloe then leaves with Sabrina offering her another banana, and Andre insists he'll talk to her so everything will be fixed by tomorrow while nervously backing out of the room.

- Cut to later where Thomas is showing the students Bob Roth's office. However, the chair turns around to reveal a devious-looking Chloe. Marinette asks what Chloe is doing there and Bob Roth comes in with a nervous Andre, explaining that Andre said they wouldn't mind changing the script so Chloe could be in the movie as well. Marinette says that's impossible because everything's prepared already, and Bob talks about compromise and protecting one's interests, though corrects himself to say the movie's interest. Regardless, Chloe's going to be the lead now. Marinette talks about how perfect Zoe is for the creation superheroine and Chloe mentions that the next flight to New York is in 30 minutes. Marinette is seething with anger and Zoe grabs her shoulder, saying that she doesn't mind doing something different since there are other open positions in the crew. Chloe agrees to that so long as Zoe doesn't appear in the movie. Bob states that they've got a deal and they'll see Chloe tomorrow morning and Chloe tells the "losers" goodbye on the way out. Bob shoves them out the door, slamming it behind them. Marinette complains about the unfairness and Zoe sulks.

- Later in the park, things are set up and Andre is in the dressing room rambling about the movie he made (Solitude). Chloe complains that she's trying to concentrate, then yells at Marinette to stop with the "atrocious costume" Marinette's trying to put on her. Sabrina laughs at Marinette for Chloe's comment, then Marinette says that that's why it fits so well, which makes Sabrina laugh again until Chloe glares at her, at which point Sabrina awkwardly offers another banana.

- Nino is explaining that the whole population has been put into a deep slumber in the scene, hence all their extras. Marinette goes and lays down with the other students, but Chloe comes out and complains that they made her the supervillain while Mylene is the superheroine. Chloe insists she gets the main role - as she's "the good one" - but Nino argues that both roles are equally important. Chloe doesn't care and starts eating a banana. Marinette argues that they don't have time for changes, to which Chloe cries out for her father, who looks nervous. The scene quickly cuts to Nino revising the script and Thomas explains that it's not unusual to change the script last minute for production reasons. He goes to say what it's called when Marinette interrupts to say that it's nonsense, a waste of time, and giving up one's dreams. Thomas merely says that it's called "an update," while Nino tells Marinette that it's all in favor of the movie.

- They try to shoot the scene again, but Chloe throws the script away and starts talking about how they need a true superhero, baiting them with hints about a "black-and-yellow" superhero until Marinette interrupts to ask if she means Queen Bee, who she calls a "supercatastrophe" more than a "superhero." Chloe says that she wasn't talking about Queen Bee and rather a "more original character," then makes up the name "Queen Banana" by noticing the banana in her hand. Alix laughs and Chloe cries out for her father again, the scene quickly cutting to the script getting changed again.

- Chloe is now dressed in a yellow cowboy hat, boots, and a skirt, with her Queen Bee costume layered underneath (excluding the mask) and her hair down. Chloe talks about how her costume is way better than what Marinette had, but notes that something is missing: a vehicle. Marinette says that their superheroes fly, and Chloe asks what she even knows about superheroes. She cries out for her dad again, and then Chloe has a banana-themed car. However, she doesn't feel any desire to save any of the students, more a desire to throw them in the trash. Nino says they don't want to change everything again, but Chloe just says that she needs a bigger challenge. Andre sighs as Chloe cries out for him again.

- Brief moment of stuttering Marinette as Adrien (who hasn't shown up before now) is put into a cage for the part of the movie. Adrien assures her that his father said this was in the movie's favor, then is lifted up by a helicopter. Chloe is satisfied with this, as Adrien is worth rescuing, and Nino asks if they can film now. Chloe claims they need a new villain and Nino clams his head against the camera in exasperation. The students go back and forth on who the villain can be until Chloe cuts in to say that she wants a gigantic yellow gorilla who throws exploding bananas. Nino mumbles about the interest of the movie as he rewrites the script yet again.

- The villain is just a cardboard cutout with movable arms and legs. Chloe is insulted by the pathetic display, as she wants a real dynamite-throwing gorilla, but Marinette reminds her that those things don't exist. Chloe says that there's a gorilla who does something in all good movies and demands that they get some, then walks off after saying that she's had enough of them. She goes off to get beauty sleep (it's daytime), telling everyone to solve the monkey problem by tomorrow, and gets into her limo with Sabrina chasing after the retreating vehicle. Kim suggests that the zoo will lend them a monkey if they take good care of him, but Marinette rejecting the idea of actually looking for a gorilla. Max claims that it's in the interest of the movie, but Marinette snaps and yells that it's not; it's Chloe's fantasy. She says that they should get Adrien out of the cage, then she stands on the vehicle to say that they're going to film the actual story they made. Everyone cheers and there's a timelapse as the day passes by.

- Chloe arrives the next day and is confused why everyone's gone and her gorilla isn't there either. She approaches someone who's packing boxes to ask about it, but he explains that everything got filmed yesterday and the movie is probably playing in theaters now. The limo is shown hurrying to the theater and Chloe and Sabrina open the door just in time to see the ending of the movie, with Mylene as the villain and Zoe as the hero once again. The two are fighting onscreen while the class is in the theater seats (Kim in particular in awe) until Zoe manages to zap Mylene. The movie continues as on-screen Zoe then goes over to Adrien, who's unconscious, and she heals him (Marinette is briefly shown to be watching with extra excitement). Zoe's character then goes and heals everyone else in quick succession, using an imitation of Ladybug's line about freeing them from evil. Mylene's character is upset and talks about how people destroyed the earth and didn't deserve to be awakened, and Zoe argues that all of them have hope to make a better world. Mylene says that Zoe's just like them and that she hates her, while Zoe says that she loves her even if Mylene hates her, and she'll always loves her even if the whole world hates her. She also calls Mylene "sister" as the movie's plot twist and they hug as the civilians cheer.

- Everyone is clapping at the movie (barring Chloe and Sabrina), then Chloe storms down who demands to know what's going on and why none of what she wanted was in the movie. Adrien approaches with a tablet, where Gabriel explains that they convinced him to watch their first scene and he thought it was captiving; plus "Adrien was incredible," hence his supporting the movie's original script. Chloe cries out for her dad, who looks down awkwardly, and Bob Roth repeats what he said before about movies being about compromising. Marinette apologizes to Chloe, but says that it was for the benefit of the movie. Sabrina tries to offer a banana to Chloe, but Chloe shoves Sabrina away and leaves in a huff. Gabriel is then seen in his lair (the background was clearly his office earlier and there was no time transition so... ???), holding the tablet as he monologues about how this was part of his plan and Chloe is always an excellent source of "inspiration." He takes of his ascot (the disguised peacock is gold with orange accents) and unifies his two miraculous to turn him into Shadow Moth.

- Chloe is leaving the cinema when Adrien hurries after her, telling her to wait. Chloe says that it's nice of him to want to comfort her, but she's fine and she'll get her revenge in addition to sending Zoe back to New York. Adrien says that he actually was going to suggest that she apologize to everyone, which Chloe is apalled by as everyone "destroyed her movie." Adrien says that it was everyone's movie and reminds Chloe that she promised to stop being rude to everyone, adding that he told her they couldn't be friends otherwise. Chloe calls him "as ridiculous as the movie" and storms off, denying him of the title of her "Adrikins," then runs to her limo and gets inside to start crying. The amok and akuma enter the bedazzled banana clip on her hat and she gets akumatized. Shadow Moth does his usual speech about giving her what she wants and Chloe talks about wanting the gorilla she'd asked for. Shadow Moth insists that everything's prepared and goes to say what he wants in return, but Chloe handwaves it as she already knows. The limo transforms into a banana-themed vehicle, Chloe turns into Queen Banana, and her sentimonster is a giant yellow gorilla named Banana Boom Boom. Queen Banana pulls out a banana-shaped gun, shooting a civilian and turning them into a banana. The vehicle underneath Queen Banana then flies up and fits perfectly onto the sentimonster's head, and said sentimonster prepares to attach the cinema at Queen Banana's orders.

- Adrien is walking sadly through the threater when it shakes, knocking him down. The scene cuts to Adrien opening the door to the room where everyone was watching the movie, revealing that the sentimonster had broken through the roof. Queen Banana demands her half-sister, then commands her sentimonster to start attacking. Marinette and Adrien run off and Marinette grabs Zoe on the way. Adrien hurries into the boys' bathroom to transform.

- While Marinette is taking her upstairs, Zoe says that she might be able to reason with Chloe since Chloe is mostly angry with her (no, I don't get it either). Marinette points out that no one can reason with her, then tells Zoe to stay there while she looks for an exit. Marinette goes up to the roof and transforms from behind a wall.

- While the sentimonster is on a rampage, Queen Banana threatens to turn everyone in Paris into banana if she doesn't come out, adding that it'd be all Zoe's fault. Zoe looks guilty, repeating the line about it being her fault, and is shown starting at the door for the exit.

- Chat Noir shows up and mocks Queen Banana. She shoots at him, with her vehicle firing too, and Chat runs across the rooftops to avoid the beams, also twirling his baton as a defense. Ladybug then snags him with her yoyo, pulling him to her and briefly dipping him. She and Chat hide briefly as Ladybug explains that Shadow Moth was "very generous" with Chloe, Chat commenting that he's a little jealous of her armor. Ladybug talks about "nothing being better than Chat Noir and Ladybug" and Chat agrees by saying that they make a perfect duo. They go to face Queen Banana for a bit, then Ladybug decides to use Lucky Charm, transforming her into her Charm form and giving her a motorbike. She checks under the seat and finds helmets, glue, a cartridge, and an air bump. She peeks out to look at Queen Banana, her Lucky Vision spotting Queen Banana's weapon, then the glue, but nothing else. Something is missing.

- At that moment, Zoe shows up, and Ladybug has an epiphany; the missing piece is Zoe, of course. Zoe meanwhile, is giving herself up to Queen Banana, but only if she spares Paris. Queen Banana agrees, but then shoots someone immediately. Zoe accuses her that she won't keep the promise, which Queen Banana confirms and promptly commands the gorilla to grab Zoe. Ladybug saves Zoe just in time, both on her motorbike, and tells Chat Noir to protect them. Chat Noir goes for Cataclysm, but Zoe moves her vehicle out of the way and Chat Cataclysms the sentimonster, making it lose control. Ladybug facepalms and Chat Noir can only rub the back of his head sheepishly. The sentimonster pursues Chat Noir and Queen Banana is unphased, as he gorilla will just cause more destruction that way. She flies off in her vehicle after Ladybug, who rides off on her motorbike. They flee until Ladybug drives the motorbike into the subway area, where Queen Banana's vehicle doesn't fit. Queen Banana yells that she'll have to come out sooner or later, especially if she doesn't want a banana smoothie made out of "her kitten."

- Ladybug stops the motobike and tells Zoe that she needs her help. Zoe is surprised and Ladybug pulls out the bee miraculous from her yoyo. She gives the usual speech and Zoe grabs the miraculous, Pollen emerging and greets her with a bow. Zoe protests because Chloe will be mad since she was Queen Bee, and Ladybug points out that Chloe will never know since Zoe will keep her identity a secret. Zoe insists that she's not strong enough, but Ladybug grabs her shoulder and says that she knows Zoe can do it. Pollen tells Zoe the transformation phrase and Zoe pulls herself together enough to snmile and put on the miraculous. Zoe then transforms.

- Queen Banana, meanwhile, is waiting outside the subway, extremely bored. Ladybug then comes up suddenly and Queen Banana pursues. Zoe, as the bee, leaves outside another exit and runs across rooftops. Chat Noir is still facing the sentimonster, who manages to grab him when Zoe shows up just in time, making a quip about picking on someone his own size (missed opportunity to say "pick on someone of your own color" instead but I digress). She uses Venom and the sentimonster throws Chat off into the distant, causing him to splat ungracefully against a nearby surface. The gorilla throws large bananas at Zoe that poof into purple dust upon impacting with anything, but she dodges every one of them. It tries to punch Zoe in rage, but she runs up its arm and stabs it in its head, freezing it in place. Zoe lands next to Chat Noir, who calls her "Queen Bee" in a confused tone, but Zoe introduces herself as Vesperia. Chat Noir is in awe, but hears his ring beeping at him. Vesperia tells him that Ladybug needs them, and Chat Noir grabs her hand, telling her that it's nice to meet her, then kisses the back of her hand. He asks her to wait, then they both run off to recharge.

- Adrien gives cheese to Plagg, who compares Vesperia to Queen Bee using cheese metaphors, basically saying that Vesperia is sweeter, more refined, and nicer. Adrien then transforms again and meets back up with Vesperia so they can run out after Queen Banana.

- Ladybug is still fleeing Queen Banana, dodging all attacks. Queen Banana then fires at her heel, which somehow causes Ladybug to trip. Queen Banana monologues a bit, but Chat Noir shows up with his Cataclysm, hitting Queen Banana's car just as Queen Banana jumps away. Queen Banana lands next to Ladybug, grabbing her and pointing her banana weapon at Ladybug's neck, demanding that Chat give her his miraculous or else she'll fire. Vesperia then lands, asking about a fair fight versus the new bee miraculous holder, which enrages Queen Banana, who says that she's the only real Queen Bee. Vesperia smugly states that she was, but now Vesperia herself is the right Queen Bee, while Queen Banana is just the queen of bananas. While Queen Banana is watching Vesperia smacktalk her, Ladybug pulls out the glue her lucky charm had given her, pouring it into the slot where Queen Banana kept her weapon.

- Vesperia continues to taunt Queen Banana, saying that Ladybug chose her to defend Paris because Queen Bee couldn't. Infuriated, Queen Banana throws Ladybug aside and fires, Vesperia letting herself get hit and thus turned into a banana. Queen Banana steps on the banana (not squishing it or anything somehow) and taunts her, then slips her weapon back into the slot and turns to Ladybug and Chat Noir to say that that's what happens to people who have a different opinion to her. She demands their miraculouses and goes to pull out her weapon again, but it's stuck due to the glue. Ladybug talks about her glue being good - as good as Vesperia - and teasingly asks Chat Noir if he agrees. Chat Noir taunts Queen Banana and Queen Banana attempts to flee ("not again!"). Ladybug snags her leg with her yoyo ala "Miracle Queen" and trips her up, and Chat hits the banana clip off with his baton into Ladybug's waiting hand. The object is smashed, the akuma and amok are purfied, and Miraculous Ladybug brings everyone back.

- Ladybug and Chat Noir fist bump, then Chloe cuts in to say that she hates Ladybug and Vesperia, calling the latter a fake version of Queen Bee. Ladybug tells Chloe that she has to learn about controlling her anger, offering help with the amulet, but Chloe smacks it away before she sees it, not wanting anything from Ladybug and saying she doesn't exist for her (she earlier called Adrien "Adri-no one" and now calls Ladybug "Lady-nonexistent"). Chloe then runs off and Shadow Moth monologues in his lair about how "the script will be rewritten soon," sending another akuma.

- Ladybug suggests that they recharge before Shadow Moth akumatizes Chloe again. Chat Noir bows to the two of them and batons himself away, then Ladybug explains to Vesperia that the magical charm would've protected Chloe but she has to want it. Vesperia assures Ladybug that she knows what to do.

- Back at the cinema, Chloe storms in and demands her movie be made. However, Zoe shows up and tells Chloe that that's enough, and she won't play the supporting role in the family anymore even if Chloe sends her back to New York. Chloe cries out for her father, but Andre puts his foot down, saying that Zoe is right. He adds that Chloe can ask for a new phone or painting the limousine pink, but not hurting her sister. Chloe tells him not to call Zoe her sister, as she's less than a half-sister to her; she's nothing to her. She turns to Zoe and yells in Zoe's face that she hates her, but Zoe responds calmly, reciting the line from the moving about loving Chloe even if Chloe hates her and even if the whole world hates Chloe. She hugs Chloe, who looks confused, and Zoe tells her not to forget that they have the same mother. Marinette is shown watching from a hidden spot in front of the cinema as Zoe tells Chloe that their mother gave her a present, which she claims is the magical charm. Chloe demands it since she believes it's from Audrey and Zoe hands it over, saying that what's her is Chloe's since they're family. Chloe pulls away smugly and puts on the magical charm, which puts a shield around her that repels the akuma. Shadow Moth is confused, claiming that this is impossible.

- Chloe tells Zoe that she'll see that the real world is different from the movie, insisting she'll get revenge, then stomps off. Adrien passes by on Chloe's way out and he asks if she's okay, but she yells at him to leave her alone. Marinette, watching Chloe leave, talks to Tikki about how Zoe did it, and Tikki suggests that the charm may help Chloe be a better person. Marinette says "let’s hope so," and the episode ends.

... I’ve already made a draft of this and deleted it, but I’m going back in.

This is an AU of what would happen if Mareven was healthy and the end game.

I apologize in advance for any and all MareCal shippers, including myself.

SO! What happens?

Simple.

Everything remains mostly the same in the story except we get more of a doubtful and uneasy Maven as the story progresses, as in he hugs Mare a little longer and is genuinely perturbed when he hears about the ‘bomb’ that went off and looks terrified of Cal when he returns and orders Farley to be tortured. He’s also more hesitant to listen to his mother.

He still offers Cal’s legion to the Guard, but is a little sadder to say it.

THEN WE GET TO THE PLOT TWIST OF THE STORY!!!!!!!!!

Maven plays along, but, as he stands by his mother’s side, he mouths, “sorry” to Mare and goes for a gun on Arven’s belt, shooting him in the leg and warning him not to try silencing him or he’ll aim for something more vital.

It catches EVERYONE off guard, especially Elara, who’s about to risk having Cal or Tibe out of her whispers to get Maven back in line.

Instead, Elara asks what he’s doing and why, as she thought this was what he’d always wanted.

“It’s what you want, Mother. Not me. None of this is right. You’re already the Queen. What else do you want!?”

Elara bares her teeth. “Are you saying you want to live your days with a Red rat?”

Maven pulls Mare to her feet and pushes her behind him, keeping the gun at them, nodding. “I’m saying I'm not following your plans or listening to anything you have to say. I'll die before I let you in my head again!”

Well, wish granted because Mare senses the cameras turning back on and Elara lets Tibe and Cal go.

Only to force Maven to shoot her and Tibe, though Maven actually misses him.

Mare breaks free and they make a run for it, Elara shouting that they are traitors and to arrest them, though she does force Tibe to play the part of concerned husband.

Cal isn't in the room because he races after Maven and Mare.

Speaking of which, Maven leads Mare through the castle and finds a hall that goes toward a servant's passage, so they can escape.

Too bad there are guards that round the corner and take aim at them, not only for staging a coup de ta, but also for attempted regicide.

Cal's there too, aiming a handgun at them and telling them to submit to arrest.

They do and are sent to the Silent Stone cells.

Mare is confused and livid and doesn't want to talk to Maven, who keeps pacing and clutching his head and telling someone to be quiet.

Mare mentally tells him to maybe practice what he’s preaching, but wonders what the hell all that was when they were captured.

Maven sighs and sits down, back-to-back with Mare, and asks her how good she is at picking locks.

Her hands are for picking pockets, not locks.

Maven lets out a semi-bitter chuckle and regards that he shouldn’t have bothered asking because of course she’s better at pockets. he then admits that he’d been so scared of the cells as a boy, his young mind tricking him into thinking that there were monsters or prisoners in the cells.

Speaking of the cells, Mare breaks her silence and asks why it’s so hard for her to use her powers, even asking if Arven is close by listening to them.

Maven admits it would be useful to do that, but no. The cells are made of Silent Stone, which is basically Arven being there without him really being there.

Although she already knows what’s going to happen, Mare wonders what will happen to them, in the Bowl of Bones.

Maven lists off a firing squad, some Silvers, maybe some animals, and the fact that no matter what, the show will not be short; the people want blood and Tibe is going to give them blood, even if it’s his own son’s.

“Not if he can’t find you.”

Both Mare and Maven stand as Cal walks in, dressed formally and holding a set of keys to the cells.

Maven asks what this is and what Cal’s doing as he opens both Maven’s and Mare’s cells.

Cal explains that he’s already had to give Julian a head start and hopes that Maven and mare can do the same, can vanish into thin air before their execution.

Mare asks why they should accept the help, seeing as Cal’s the one who arrested them, but Cal counters by asking who’s idea it was to get them arrested, glaring daggers at Maven.

Maven has his own question: How does Cal know they won’t be seen?

Cal looks away and admits that he hopes there aren’t any Red servants that know how to fix the security system.

Maven and Mare exchange a glance and start walking, but Cal gets between them, shackles them, and grabs their arms, telling them to play along and make it convincing so no one questions anything.

They both do their best reluctant prisoners act up until they pass by Sonya, who inquires as to where Cal’s taking them.

Cal states he’s just taking them to get some cardio before their execution, seeing as how they’ll need every ounce of strength they’ll need.

Sonya spits that they shouldn’t and should actually fight with nooses around their necks so they’re easier to grab and throw around, but drops it anyway, eying Cal before she leaves.

Time’s almost up, so it’s a good thing Maven leads Cal to a servant passage, where they stop and get free, Maven getting his flame-maker bracelets back.

Maven opens the passage, but Cal stops him and Mare, telling them to be careful now, because if they manage to escape, they’ll be fugitives and will get hunted like deer for treason, Maven for attempted regicide, from what narrative that now exists.

They nod and thank him for the help.

Before Mare can follow Maven, Cal grabs her arm again, which makes Mare turn to him.

The two stare at each other, realizing what’s happening and what’s going to happen.

The royals will figure out that Cal helped them escape and will probably have him killed for letting two traitors run free.

Cal is the one who helped her in the first place by getting her the job at the Summer Palace, and now he’s saving her life again, this time also saving his brother’s and risking his own.

Maven shouts for Mare to keep it moving and Mare pulls out of Cal’s grip, backs away, and races after Maven, Cal watching her leave before closing the passage.

His face contorts with sorrow, regret, anger, and pain and he clenches a fist as he hears a sentinel shout that Mare and Maven are missing.

Cal shouts, “They’re this way!” and races down the hallway and away from the bookshelf, trying to make it look like they outran him.

In the passage, Maven leads Mare by the hand as they soon find themselves underground and under the streets, overhearing an announcement to keep an eye out for the two of them because both are armed and dangerous, Mare especially.

Maven groans at his father’s words and muses that at least they’re out.

Mare isn’t as relieved and asks what he was planning with his mother.

Maven stops in his steps and states that she already knows.

Mare does know, she just wants to hear Maven say it.

Maven bites his tongue and clenches his fist at his side, not turning to face Mare as he asks what will happen if he doesn’t tell her.

She’ll make him tell her, make him talk or she’ll shock him until he dies.

Maven tightens his fist but then drops it, admitting he and Elara planned on killing Tibe and using Mare and Cal as scapegoats, sending them to the Bowl of Bones, and having them executed to wrap up the story and solidify Maven as the new King, with no Scarlet Guard and no loose ends to ensure the story of Mare being a Red would slip out.

Mare demands he define ‘loose ends.’

Lady Blonos. The servant girls who dressed Mare as a Silver. Lucas. Julian. Sara. Mare’s family. Kilorn. Cal. Mare herself. All the Reds on the list Julian gave her.

Mare gasps at that last one, sliding down a wall as Maven explains in increasing panic and with his eyes growing teary that he was along with the ride and all for getting the throne the way his mother planned, but then he began to feel genuine feelings for Mare and her plight and no matter how much Elara tried to take those feelings away, they always came back. She did the same with Tibe, making Maven lose his love for him, and had semi-success with Cal, but didn’t fully remove his love for his brother. It also changed when they killed Blonos and the servant girls, and when Tristan died. It opened Maven’s eyes and made him realize that he was going to kill someone he didn’t want to die. he’d already lost Thomas and it was his own fault, but if he was the reason he lost Mare, too, he’d lose his mind.

Maven stops his rambling and joins Mare against the wall, admitting that he knows he deserves whatever comes next, but whatever does happen, he just asks that mare know that he is sorry for all of this, for putting her in such danger that now they’re on the run and risk execution if they’re caught.

Mare turns to him and asks if Elara has the list, if he told her about the Newbloods.

Maven shakes his head; the raid was going to happen in a few hour hours, so there wouldn’t have been enough time for Elara to look through his mind, write down all the names, and the find them in the blood base, so they have a good head start there, too.

After a minute of collecting themselves, and a glare from Mare, the two stand up and keep walking until they reach a fork in the path and wonder which is safer.

The only answer they get is a gun pushed against the back of Maven's head and a certain blaonde telling him to go right or she's painting the tunnel Silver.

Mare turns and sees Kilorn and Farley, with the addition of a certain Barrow we all still mourn, don't lie.

"Shade!"

Mare and Shade reunite, though Maven voices confusion as he thought Shade had been executed.

Shade explains that they tried and failed, making an example by teleporting in front of and behind them, saying with pride that no one's faster than him.

Mare is a mix of happy and sad at the news, but Farley brings them back and reminds them they need to keep going or they'll get arrested and killed.

Maven also gets put back in shackles, but acts as a good sport and doesn't burn them off.

They continue throught the tunnel until they reach a train, climb aboard, and get to riding, merrily on their way to nowhere in particular.

Back in White Fire, Elara slaps Cal HARD in the face and demands to know what he was thinking and where Maven and Mare are.

Tibe gets between them, but Cal admits that he didn't fully know what he was thinking, just that he couldn't let his brother be forced to fight when he's still in training. It would be a bloodbath.

Elara asks if that's the same reason why he also let Mare go, or if there's something he's not telling them.

Tibe also wants to know. He understands letting Maven go, but why a Red rat like Mare? If the people see her lightning powers and Red blood, there will be Hell to pay.

Cal's silent, but Elara solves that with a quick look into his mind, seeing all the moments of Cal and Mare being close and friendly with each other.

Elara asks Cal if he's more interested in dirt than diamonds and Tibe gets the picture instantly, upon seeing Cal's reaction.

Change of plan: Cal is getting his legion back in action, and an additional two hundred soldiers to locate and either capture or kill Mare and Maven. No more catch and releases or else it's Cal who fights in the arena and he'll have nothing but his wits to defend himself.

Cal pales at this and gasps that they can't kill him, because then Norta has no heir.

Tibe only glares at him and tells him not to fail before leaving to let Cal get his army ready.

Cal watches his father leave and is broken by the fact that he legitimately screwed up and that his father, as King, needs Maven, his own son, executed with Mare, someone who never should have had her powers to begin with.

Elara glares at Cal for a moment longer and also walks out of the room, leaving Cal on his own.

#red queen #mare barrow #maven calore #tiberias calore vii #cal calore #tiberias calore vi #elara merandus #au #ua #mareven #healthy mareven #I'm making Cal the antagonist and I'm so sorry #sorry to marecal shippers everywhere
