Another piano cover Ves did for Periphery's Jetpacks Was Yes. More info under the break.
Again, same as last week's Periphery post, the music link is incomplete and wasn't saved properly. Still 95% positive it's something I've already posted or will post later on. Also, I got the screenshot below from another source (since I checked through all the Periphery cover links I had and didn't see this comment on any of the archived videos). Not sure which video it was under so I'll stick it here 🥹🖤🙏
He's a fanboy just like all of us, for real.

Bratty b****
Peter Parker x Stark!Reader
NSFW
Warnings: Dom!Peter, Smut.
The request:
Hi love your writing and have never made a request but here goes. Tony’s daughter is going through a rebellious phase, going out to parties and getting to the Tower at all hours of the night. Punishments don’t seem to be getting through to her at all and everyone’s at their wits end. Insert dom!Peter finding her at a party and bringing her back home to lay down the law if you know what i mean…
Also, for all of you the anons that wanted new Dom!Peter and SSC talks.
MY MASTERLIST
“Are you out of your fucking mind, Parker? Put me the fuck down right NOW!”
Peter complied, letting go of you so suddenly you ended in a heap on the floor. The indignant look you threw his way reminded him of an angry kitten, and he had to suppress a smile. Even drunk and disheveled you were god damn adorable. And that was part of the problem: you had everyone wrapped around your finger, and were perfectly aware of it.
No wonder you weren’t afraid of any punishment, none of them ever stuck long enough for you to regret your actions, consequences always swept under the rug before they could sully you or your reputation. Even the press, so merciless with lower socialites, was so happy to have the Stark heiress back, that every new misadventure was portrayed in an indulgent light, words like “enfant terrible”, “little hellion” or “New York’s favorite troublemaker” decorating headlines everywhere he turned.
But that ended tonight.
He watched you stand up, fixing your way-too-short-dress so it would cover the top of your thighs, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings.
“Where are we?”
“My apartment” Peter replied, simply. You knew the penthouse was just on the next floor, but there, in that darkened kitchen alone with him, it seemed incredibly far. You hadn’t been alone with him since Titan, and you didn’t quite know how to deal with this Peter, so different from the awkward, wide eyed boy who used to trail behind you like a puppy. This grown up, confident Peter that was older than you, that had been an Avenger for six years, intimidating enough to clear a party all by himself, without needing his Spider-man persona.
But then again, you didn’t know how to deal with much of anything these days. Going to sleep in 2018 and waking up in 2023 would do that to you.
“Why did you bring me to your apartment?” Your voice came out a little unsteady, as you tried to get a grip on your heart, beating wildly inside your chest, tried to squash that little sliver of hope down before it managed to cut you and bleed you dry. Because you knew what you wanted from Peter was something you could never have. And it wasn’t just cause of that awesome girlfriend of his.
He leaned casually on the kitchen island, arms crossed in front of his chest and you couldn’t help but notice how solid and powerful they looked clad in black leather.
“To have a little talk” he met your eyes, concern clear in his, “about your behavior…”
Your stomach drop with the weight of a thousand dead butterflies. Of course. This was an intervention. He was being big brother Peter, that was how he saw you, a little sister, just like Morgan, another Starkling for him to guide, to nurture and protect.
And maybe your own little sister preferred his bedtime stories over yours. Maybe your own father called him son, and your -technically step- mother sent him to chaperone you whenever you went out to party, but he was never ever going to be your brother.
“And exactly who do you think you are to have a talk with me?” You sneered, voice like sugar venom, sweet and cruel. Lethal. “You are no one, you’re not my boyfriend, you’re not my friend, and I know you like to pretend you’re a Stark, but you are not my brother. You are nothing.”
You watched the air get knocked out of his lungs, as if your words had physically hit him as they hit their mark. Satisfied with the stunned, devastated look on his face, you turned to leave. But only made it a couple of steps before feeling his fingers wrap around your wrist in a vice like grip, spinning you around and pulling you to him.
You stumbled, falling against his chest, and he kept you there, arm snaking around your back, pressing you close. Dangerously close.
“And you” he whispered, nose pressed against your cheek, breath hot against your face. You realized you weren’t the only one that had been drinking. “are a bratty little bitch. You think I wanna be any of those things? That I’d be satisfied with any of those things?“
His fingers dug deeper into your skin, and you cried out, finally reacting.
"Parker, let me go, your hurting me!” You struggled in his grasp, but he was way too strong.
“You mean more than you’ve been hurting yourself? Hanging out with those losers” He spat, shaking you a little, “Day drinking? Sneaking out every night? Have you any idea how worried Pepper was when she called?"
"Peter, you’re scaring me!”
“Good!” He replied, shaking you harder, “It’s about fucking time you learn that your actions have consequences"
He manhandled you until you were trapped between him and the kitchen island. A firm push against the square of your shoulders had you bent over it, face against the cold marble, as he took both of your wrists in one hand and pinned them against your back, his other hand traveling under your dress. He kicked your legs open, placing a knee between yours so you couldn’t close them back up.
"What the fuck are you doing you sick fuck?!”
“I’m thinking eighteen slaps” He commented casually, ignoring your insult, “one for every night you sneaked out this month, and you are going to count them”
You renovated your struggle as he pushed your dress up, exposing your ass, but he leaned over your back, trapping you under his weight.
“Wanna know who I am, little girl?” He breathed against your ear, sending shivers down your spine “I’m your master.”
SLAP.
You cried out. There was strength behind the hit, the sting lasting long after his hand was gone.
“One” he said and you remembered his words, he wanted you to count the slaps, but your brain was in shambles
SLAP.
“One” He repeated, “You better start counting or they’ll be a lot more than eighteen…”
SMACK.
“One…”
“FINE!” You yelled, finally finding your voice, “Fine, I’ll count them you sick bastard! That’s three!”
“I should make them twenty just for that"
"Fuck you!”
SLAP.
The sound that left your throat when his open palm struck just between your legs was not one of pain. You cursed under your breath, there was no way he could have missed that moan.
“What was that, princess?”
“F-four”
He chuckled, and you felt him get off of you. But with your wrists still in his grasp, there wasn’t much you could do, he had super strength after all. You were quite literally at his mercy.
The thought should not have been so hot.
“I was actually talking about this” He traced his fingertips over your lace covered slit, tearing another moan from your lips. “Such a pretty sound” He hummed, approvingly, “I want more…”
He used his thumb to tug your underwear to the side, dipping one long, talented finger into you. It slid inside easily, so easily… it was embarrassing how wet, how ready for it you were. Peter wanted nothing more than to sink himself in your cunt, to get lost into your tight, pink, velvety soft insides. But where was the lesson in that? What kind of message would he be sending you if he too failed to deliver the promised punishment? Fourteen slaps, that was all. Fourteen more hits and then he could have you. This was for your own good.
He took his finger out.
SMACK.
“Fi-ve” You whimpered. That one had really hurt. His hand came down against your other cheek just as hard.
“Six”
Another one, and his finger was back inside your pussy, this time with a companion, pumping in and out, making it difficult to speak, but you managed to stutter a breathy “Seven”
It wasn’t until the next slap hit the soft flesh where your your thigh met the curve of your ass with his fingers still thrusting into you that you realized he had released your hands. But by then you were a moaning, wanting mess on the counter, a willing accomplice more than a prisoner, dutifully keeping count,
“Eight”
Slaps nine and ten came with him three fingers deep in your heat, pinky sloppily rubbing circles on your clit. You were close, just one more thrust, one more slap, one more dirty word in your ear and you would be coming. How stupid of you to believe he was actually going to let you.
“Noooo” You couldn’t help the pathetic whine that left your mouth when his fingers left you, your walls clenching pitifully around nothing. Your own hand went for your mound, desperate for release, but he caught it, pinning it to your back again.
“I don’t think so, little girl,” He chastised you, “your punishment isn’t over yet…”
You had eight more slaps left. You could do it, you could take it.
…Couldn’t you?
He let go of your wrist and you felt him shift behind you. A moment passed, then another one. You had started to turn to see where he had gone when you felt it: the soft caress of cold lips against your burning backside.
“Is this better, baby girl?” He inquired, placing glacial kisses and licks on the reddened, sore skin. “You like this?”
“Yes…"
"Yes, what?"
"Yes… sir?”
SLAP.
“Eleven. Yes, dom?”
SLAP.
“YES, DADDY!”
Peter froze. He was actually going for ‘master’. Mister Stark, Tony, he was your father. But more than that, you were his daughter, his precious baby. Asking to be called that while he fucked you would the lowest betrayal, Peter knew that. It would be defiling that title forever, making you think of Peter and the filthy things he did to you whenever you called your dad by it. It was wrong. It was perverted.
And Peter wanted it.
More than food, more than water, more than oxygen, he wanted it, he wanted you for himself, with a hunger, with a greed that scared even him. He. Wanted. You.
And he was going to have you. He licked a long stripe up your pussy. Cold, so cold it made you shiver.
“Say it again, baby girl"
"Daddy”
“Again” his order was muffled, face buried against your cunt, devouring you.
“Daddy!"
SLAP.
He placed another ice cube on his mouth, only to push it into your cunt making you scream, tongue fucking you with superhuman skill. The contrasting temperatures of the ice and his mouth against your molten insides were too much. You were sobbing, shameless and desperate, bucking your hips back against his face, the familiar tension building up, and up. Your toes already starting to curl… and then he was gone.
"Yellow!” You cried. Peter was on you in an instant, turning you around and helping you stand, pushing your hair away from your face.
“Baby, are you ok? What is it?” His voice was worried, breaking character.
“O-orgasm denial” You gasped, “wasn’t part of the deal…"
"Shit! You’re right, I’m sorry baby, I’m so so sorry!”
Peter looked about ready to cry, so you hurried to reassure him,
“Pete, it’s ok, I’m not safewording…yet"
He nodded his understanding, but still looked uncertain. You kissed him, sweet and soothing, but soon that absurdly talented tongue of his slipped inside your mouth, deepening the kiss, turning it into something heady, slow and dirty. You melted into it.
A ripping sound resonated in the quiet kitchen, and you felt your dress fell off your body. Stunned, you broke the kiss, to look at the remains of your favorite garment now lying lifeless on the dark mahogany floor, and then at the smug, smirking face of your boyfriend.
"It was in my way”
And just like that, he was all dom again, towering over you, still fully dressed while you stood, vulnerable, in just your hills and a, ruined, lacy tong, made almost completely sheer by your juices, glistening between your legs.
He let one of his fingers dip under the lace.
“Wanna come, little girl?”
“Yes” You breathed out.
He hummed, fingertip finding your clit,
“And if I let you come,” He started the delicious, quick circular motions that he knew drove you insane, “will you be a good girl? Do as you’re told?”
You considered lying to please him, pretending to be the perfect little sub for him, but that wasn’t really you, was it? You looked him dead in the eyes, and opened your mouth.
“No”
Something snapped behind his eyes, and he growled, deep in his chest, fisting your hair, forcing your head back, bending you over backwards on the kitchen island, as his other hand made quick work of his zipper and belt.
“This what you wanted, little girl?” He entered you, hard and fast and deep, tearing a scream out of your throat, railing you into the marble, “Daddy fucking your pussy like this?”
“Yes!”
“You like taking it like this? Pretty little pussy stretched around daddy’s cock?”
“Yes!! Yes daddy, just like this!"
He was fucking into you with such force that you slid over the cold marble with each thrust of his hips, but there was nothing for you to brace yourself on. He grabbed your thighs, hooking your knees over his elbows to keep you in place and open you wider for him, going deeper, owning places inside your pussy you didn’t know existed. The edge of the counter was biting into his thighs but he couldn’t care, not with your walls spasming around his cock, squeezing him so good that his eyes rolled back inside his skull. You were crying, little whimpers of ‘Daddy, daddy!’ and it was so blasphemous, so unholy, it made Peter’s blood boil with it, lighting running through his veins, pleasure exploding in every single nerve ending of his body, cause you were his, his and no one else’s, his claim overriding every previous one made on you. It was too much, he exploded inside you, filling you up until you were overflowing with it, the pearlescent liquid dripping down his thigh.
And he still couldn’t stop. Like a man possessed, he kept going. And you kept on taking it.
…
"Are you ok?”
“I should be the one asking that…”
You lifted your head to meet his eyes, staring back at you with genuine concern. Sometime during your fucking, you had managed to disvest him of his clothes and now he was as naked as you, lying on the massive couch, sated and spent, with you tucked on his chest.
“Pete, this whole thing was my idea” You reminded him, gesturing vaguely around you. The whole apartment was a mess: paintings fallen from the walls, torn clothes littering the hardwood floor, a broken coffee table… but the kitchen had taken the most damage, where Peter had managed to crack the marble on the kitchen island, and thrown away glasses and even a couple appliances in his haste for getting you on it. There even was a puddle of cold water, from where he had knocked over the glass of ice cubes he had used to tease you.
He frowned,
“I seem to recall it was mine…”
“You said you wanted to take control” You placed a soothing kiss right above his heart, to let him know everything was alright, “I was the one who wanted the spanking. And the roleplaying. And the hair pulling…”
Peter’s smile grew bigger and bigger with every item you named. He loved it, loved that you trusted him enough to ask exactly what you wanted, loved feeling so comfortable with you as to explore everything he had been too scared to do before. He loved that with you, he was free, there was no fear of judgment, he could let go, cause he knew you wouldn’t let him fall. He loved you.
And it was so natural, so easy as your conversations were, even before the blip, when you were four years older than him, so beautiful and unreacheable. As stealing a kiss that first night had been. He would have never thought something good could come out of Thanos, of the blip, of losing his arm and almost losing his life. But you had come visit him on his hospital bed right after the surgery, eyes full of tears and he had made a joke about every great Jedi losing his arm, and you had laughed.
And then you had sobered up, an impossible emotion behind your eyes. Impossible, because he had only ever seen it directed at him in his wildest dreams.
“Ani, you’ve changed so much!” You had quoted.
“You haven’t changed a bit” he had replied without skipping a beat, “You’re exactly the way I remember you in my dreams”
And then he was kissing you, just like he was kissing you now, good hand on your cheek, biorobotic one slowly raising to tangle in your hair.
“The ice play was my idea” He commented, breaking the kiss. You threw your head back, laughing.
“And a very good one at that” You approved.
“The daddy kink was a surprise…”
Your laugh died. Suddenly embarrassed, you hid your face on his chest.
“You know I’m not-… that I don’t really want to… sleep with my dad, right?”
Even with his super hearing, it was difficult to decipher your mumbling.
“What? No- I mean yes!” He stammered, “Of course I know that, babe! And you know I don’t want to… like… be him or anything…"
You nodded, finally meeting his eyes.
"But it was kinda hot”
“Babe, it was all manners of hot” Peter confirmed, making you smile.
“You still owe me five slaps, tho”
He groaned,
“I do, I totally forgot! God, I’m such a bad dom!”
“Of course not! You’re the hottest dom I’ve ever seen!"
Peter snorted,
"I’m the only dom you’ve ever seen…”
“I saw Fifty Shades of Grey once…” You argued, making him laugh harder.
“Ok, ok, you win, even I am a better dom than that"
"The edging…”
“Yeah, sorry 'bout that…”
“No no, I was actually thinking…” You felt your cheeks grow hot under his gaze. Peter was trying to appear nonchalant, but you could see the glimmer of lust in his eyes, evidently it was a serious turn on for him. “We could explore it more next time…”
His face lit up,
“Really? Thank you babe!” He caught your mouth in a heated, earnest kiss, “You won’t regret it, I’ll make so good for you…” he promised against your lips, making you moan in anticipation.
“Maybe I’ll even spare you those slaps I owe you…”
Peter didn’t miss the way your kiss falter at that, or the spark of defiance in your mischievous eyes.
“Maybe” You replied, noncommittal, releasing his lips to nibble at his jaw. He could practically see the wheels already turning in your head, planning ways to test his patience, pushing the limits just enough to guarantee a reaction, to earn yourself a new punishment. You were such a brat.
His spoiled, gorgeous brat.

Constructive criticism: Catwoman (and a bonus)
Ah yes, Catwoman.
She first appeared in comics in 1940, created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, as an enemy of Batman. Over time her status as his enemy has changed and she has gone from villain to antihero and has become Batman's best known love interest, with many stories depicting their complex love–hate relationship.
In 2004 Warner Bros made a Catwoman solo-movie, directed by Pitof and written by John Rogers, John Brancato and Michael Ferris from a story by Theresa Rebeck.
The film centers on Patience Phillips, a meek designer who discovers a conspiracy within the cosmetics company she works for that involves a dangerous product which could cause widespread health problems. Sure, it took some liberties with it`s material, but it could have been a good movie.
It wasn`t.
Taking a character that has such strong ties to the Batman franchise and then completely separating them from it is not the best of ideas.
Not saying that Catwoman can`t break free and go on a few adventures of her own now and then, but couldn`t they at least have allowed her to be Catwoman?
Sure, they can take a few liberties with the character, but here they took all the liberties.
The general consensus among film critics was that Halle Berry`s performance wasn`t very good. I`ve seen her do better in other films so I think she could have done better with a better script and better director.
Speaking of which... here`s where I come in.
If I could travel back in time and make some changes to this movie... What would I change?
Catwoman`s suit
Change it to something more Catwoman-y and not BDSM-y.
Catwoman having superpowers, How she got those powers, Ophelia Powers (the cat lady mentor that tells Patience about her legacy as a catwoman), Laurel Hedare getting marble-like skin from using Beau-line.
Lose all of these. That last one felt like something that was added at the last minute because they wanted Laurel to be able to fight Patience in the climax and realized that Patience, with her powers, would have too much of an advantage.
Technically there`s nothing wrong about creating a new character to take on the mantle as Catwoman but personally I would have preferred if this movie was about the Selina Kyle Catwoman rather than someone else. It would of course not be Tim Burton`s Selina from Batman returns but a new one in a diffrerent DC Movie universe. So... here`s how I would do it.
Plot
It begins with an opening titles sequence montage. Selina had a rough childhood, her parents argued almost all the time, her best friend was her pet cat. When Selina (Halle Barry) grew up she became a criminal, a cat burglar (but she wasn`t Catwoman yet). Then Batman showed up and started fighting crimes. Selina decided that she too would dress up as an animal, a cat, and so she did. She met Batman a couple of times but always managed to escape and was never arrested, she even helped him catch a criminal once: a man named Vinnie who was the nephew of a mob boss. This made her very unpopular in Gotham`s world of organized crime, it gave her many enemies and made her life difficult, so she faked her own death.
End of montage.
Selina Kyle now lives in an apartment in Chicago with her cat Nefertiti under the name Patience Phillips. She is good friends with her next door neighbour Sally (Alex Borstein), she goes to job interviews at day and goes out at night, to beat up and steal from robbers and muggers. She Doesn`t wear her Catwoman outfit though, just a very generic outfit with a ski-mask covering her face, she doesn`t want people to know that Catwoman is still alive. Sally gives Selina a scarf as a BFF gift, she also has health problems but takes medicine. One day the medicine is not enough so Selina takes her to a hospital where she finds out that there are more people who have Sally`s problem, one thing they all have in common is that they take medicine made by Hedare pharmaceuticals. Hedare pharmaceuticals is owned and run by Laurel Hedare (Sharon Stone) who is often followed around by her big, hulking bodyguard Bruno. Selina decides to take a closer look at Hedare pharmaceuticals.
Meanwhile: Somewhere in the city there is a female cop who stops a pair of robbers with a unique sonic weapon: her voice. She is a metahuman, her name is Dinah Laurel Lance.
Act 2: Hedare Pharmaceuticals: Selina goes undercover as a janitor to get a good inside look at the place that she is gonna break into later. She bumps into Lauren and Bruno (Here`s where we learn that Lauren practices Jet Kun Do.). After her work-day Selina goes home where she feeds her cat and starts to plan her little break-in at the big pharmaceutical company.
Elsewhere: Dinah wants to capture "that female vigilante who beats up and steals from robbers" and talks about it with her work partner. Sure, you could argue that the vigilante does their job easier but Dinah has principles. She prefers if people who fight crime have a badge.
Later that night: Hedare Pharmaceuticals: Selina breaks into the building in her generic burglar-outfit. She finds a computer but before she can find any useful data two security guards and Bruno show up. She takes out the two guards but Bruno is much tougher. He seems to be superstrong and feels no pain, Selina has to flee. Bruno shas appearently met Selina before because he seems to remember her body language and fighting style.
The following day: Hedare Pharmaceuticals: Lauren is watching the security-footage from yesterday. Who is that woman in the Ski-mask? Bruno remembers now why the masked woman`s fighting style looked familiar, she is Catwoman! Bruno tells this to Lauren. Appearantly Catwoman is not as dead as they thought.
Elsewhere: There is not much Selina can do, so she does what she can, she visits Sally in the hopital. Sally mentions that there is a new drug out that works against her current symptoms. The company that makes the new drug is Hedare pharmaceuticals. Selina starts to suspect something.
Later that night: A Catwoman doppleganger robs a jewelrystore... and kills a cop.
The next day: The Catwoman doppleganger`s crime ends up on the frontpage. Dinah reads the news on her morning coffe break, realizes she now has to catch Catwoman.
Things just got complicated for Selina, not just because she is now wanted for murder, but this is gonna attract the attention of her old enemies from Gotham.
A prison in Gotham: Someone with connections has gotten Vinnie (the nephew of the mob boss from earlier) out of prison, he`s also gotten a message: Catwoman is still alive in Chicago.
Selina starts to plan a new burglary. Attacking Hedare pharmaceuticals again probably won`t work, the security is surely higher this time, so she has another target in mind.
The next day: Lauren Hedare`s House. Selina breaks in and navigates through all the traps in the house`s high tech security system. She finds a safe, steals some flashdrives that look important, and a necklace, because she`s a jerk.
Chicago: Vinnie asks people for info about where he could find Catwoman.
Selina`s apartment: Selina goes though the flashdrives on her computer and finds what she`s looking for: proof that Hedare pharmaceuticals has created a drug that first makes you better but then makes you sick so that you`ll be forced to take their new drug. A drug that you`ll have to keep take, or else you`ll get sick again. In short: it`s a plan that really, really REALLY screws over the little guy. She also finds some info about some MacGuffin that is on the computers over at Hedare pharmaceuticals. Something that could prove that she did not kill that cop.
Lauren Hedare`s House: Lauren comes home, gets a phonecall from Selina (who calls from a secure line), she tells Lauren that she just mailed her criminal plans to the police and the news. Lauren is not happy.
This is not the end though, Lauren is still a rich person, she has influence and can tell the public that the proof is fabricated and by doing so buy herself some time. Time that she can use to make sure that she won`t go to prison and destroy Catwoman. (Who says that Superhero movies can`t be realistic?) Selina is also not out of the woods yet, she needs to prove that she`s not a murderer.
(Maybe I jumped the gun by having her reveal the bad guy`s plan this early in the story, but I couldn`t come up with another way to move the plot forward.)
Later that night: Selina is out doing her usual stuff, jumping from rooftop to rooftop to get to Hedare pharmaceuticals to get the MacGuffin that she read bout earlier. Suddenly she sees... her doppelganger! She chases her doppelganger who leads her to a street where she disappears and Selina is face to face with Dinah. Selina uses parkour to get back up on the rooftops, unfortunately Dinah is just as good at parkour as she is, and she`s also a skilled martial artist. The two seem to be evenly matched, but Dinah has one advantage: her sonic scream. Dinah gets the upperhand for a moment but steps on a part of the roof that is fragile and is about to fall to her death, but Selina saves her life.
Selina tells her that she is Catwoman and that she just chased her own doppleganger who, she is sure, is the one that killed that cop. Someone is framing her. Dinah doesn`t want to arrest someone who just saved her but she`s having trouble believing in the doppleganger stuff. Someone shoots at them and hits Selina in the leg. It`s Vinnie! He`s shooting at them from a distance with a sniper rifle. Dinah quickly figures out where he is shooting from, uses her sonic scream and temporarily stuns him. This gives her time to flee to her apartment with Selina. The Catwoman doppleganger watches this from a distance.
Crap! She was hoping that the cop would defeat her, not help her.
Dinah`s apartment: They take a look at Selina`s wound. Fortunately it`s just a fleshwound. They talk a little. Selina mentions that she needs to get the MacGuffin from Hedare pharmaceuticals. They leave Dinah`s apartment, Selina sneaks in at the hospital where Sally is and leaves her a note. She then goes to her own apartment to get her Catwoman costume. Selina ties Sally`s BFF scarf around her arm, in case she meets her doppleganger again and Dinah is gonna have to tell which Catwoman is which.
She tells her cat Nefertiti:
"If I`m not back again by this time tomorrow, avenge my death."
Nefertiti responds with a confused meow.
Hedare pharmaceuticals: Catwoman and Dinah arrive, they are not alone, Vinnie is also there. He shoots at them. Dinah, who has a gun, shoots back at Vinnie to distract him so that Catwoman can get into the building. Inside she meets her doppleganger. They fight. The doppleganger is much stronger than she looks and seems to feel no pain. Meanwhile: Dinah has an opportunity to knock out Vinnie with her sonic scream and takes it. Inside the building she sees Catwoman fighting the doppleganger. She sees the scarf tied around the arm on the real Catwoman and knocks out the fake one with her sonic scream. Catwoman thanks her and runs further into the building. The fake Catwoman gets back up on her feet, she turns into... clay? And she grows into a big, hulking, monstrous clay man.
It`s Clayface!
He and Dinah fight, he has the advantage.
Act: 3 Catwoman runs into Vinnie who shoots her in the arm from a distance. She manages to get close to him and knock the gun out of his hand. They fight hand to hand, Catwoman defeats Vinnie, but it`s not easy (with her wounded arm). The fight between Dinah and Clayface continues. Clayface shouts that he will kill her, just like he killed that cop while pretending to be Catwoman. Catwoman gets to Lauren`s office, she starts to look for the MacGuffin when Lauren shows up. Lauren reveals that there is no MacGuffin that can help her. She just made that up to lure Catwoman into a trap. She is a little angry that things didn`t go exactly as planned, (Like the part where Catwoman leaked her evil plan to the authorities.) but she`ll think of someting. They fight, Lauren takes advantage of Catwoman`s wounded arm.
Back to Dinah and Clayface`s fight. Clayface has the upper hand but Dinah sees a firehose and uses it on him. The water makes it harder for him to hold his body together, so he flees.
Catwoman and Lauren`s fight continues. Catwoman manages to get the upper hand, knocks Lauren so that she ends up hanging from a ledge. Catwoman reluctantly decides to save her but as she does Lauren goes for one last try to kill her. Catwoman evades in time, Lauren loses her grip and falls to her death.
Catwoman wishes that they could have found something that proved her innocence. Dinah realizes that there is. The security cameras filmed her fight with Clayface and recorded his "confession". Catwoman is still wanted for other, smaller crimes that she has comitted but Dinah is willing to overlook that, after all that has happened.
The next day: Selina (who now has her arm in a sling) visits Sally in the hospital, who has read the note and can`t help but interpret it as a goodbye note and wonders if Selina is going anywhere. Selina answers that, no she`s not, she was just in a difficult place emotionally when she wrote it. Sally gets proper treatment for her ailments and is expected to recover in about a month.
Somewhere else: Clayface has gotten the excess water out of his body, changes to Bruno (That`s right, Bruno was Clayface this whole time.) He says to himself:
"If I ever meet you again little kitty, I`ll rip your head off"
And then he walks away, ready for new adventures.
A while later, up on a rooftop: Catwoman (now free from the sling) asks herself if she`s gonna return to Gotham or stay in Chicago. She decides to stay in Chicago for a little while longer.
And that`s how I would do it.
This was a little hard to write, I couldn`t figure out what to do with the plot after the part where Bruno (Clayface) figures out that the masked intruder was Catwoman, but things went a little better when I decided to go with the "Clayface imitates Catwoman to frame her for a murder"-idea. I`m not that great at coming up with my own, original plot, and a small problem i have when I write one is that the second act is a little too short. (Had the same problem when I wrote my CC of Wonderwoman 1984.)
Not my best work, could have been better but could also have been a lot worse.
I wanted to make it a story that wasn`t completely separated from the rest of the DC universe but also a story where Catwoman could do her own thing and not be overpopulated with DC characters and references.
Speaking about DC, I would like to take this opportunity to make an addendum to one of my previous CCs.
Constructive Criticism: Man of Steel-addendum
The out-of-chronological-order order of some of the scenes
Now, it`s not like all scenes in a movie have to be in chronological order, but it would have helped the narrative if some scenes were. It`s like the movie wanted to keep us guessing about a question that it had already given us the answer to.
Here`s how I would do it:
Baby Kal El`s pod crashes in a field in Kansas where it is discovered by the Kents. A little later Martha suggests that they adopt the baby, Jonathan thinks it is a bad idea but has a change of heart after Martha puts baby Kal El in his arms to answer the phone.
After this we jump forward in time to the scene where little Clark discovers that he has X-ray vision, hides in the janitor`s closet and his mom comes to school to talk to him.
Then we jump to the scene where he gets beaten up by the bullies.
From this we jump to the scene where he saves all the kids on the bus and has a talk with his dad.
And finally, we are in the present where he is on a fishing boat and saves the workers on the oil platform.
"But what about the scene where Jonathan Kent dies?" you may ask.
(Remember that in my version, Jonathan does not die because of a tornado, he dies from an ordinary sickness, at home in his bed.)
I`d put that scene as a flashback right after he says goodbye to his holographic spacedad on the ship. I think it works thematically and emotionally.
Superman breathing in space
I´m probably a minority on this one, but I don`t think Superman (or any other kryptonian for that matter) should be able to breathe in space (or under water). He should discover this in the scene where he gets his Superman costume and tests how high he can jump.
"But if he can`t breathe in space, how is he gonna leave the kryptonian spaceship when he says good bye to his holographic spacedad?"
By holding his breath. He should be able to survive a few minutes without air.
And that`s how I would do it. Feel free to disagree.

For the made up fic title ask! "Rivers run deeper under broken bridges" Thanks, mate!
I’m going to die.
It’s a realization that Lena’s had many times throughout her life, though her gut’s been proven wrong both repeatedly and consistently.
But this time feels different.
This time, Lena is completely alone and without friends. This time, she is being betrayed by yet another person she trusted. A loyal employee she’d vetted a thousand times over, though apparently all for naught, because he’s now leveling a gun right between her eyes.
I’m going to die. I’m all alone. No one knows I’m here, and I’m going to die.
Even with all this newfound animosity and ever growing rift between her and Kara, Lena knows full well that Supergirl would come save her if she could. Only she can’t. Not when Lena’s trapped in a lab specifically designed to be Kryptonian-proof—undetectable by super-hearing or x-ray vision, but also laced with kryptonite just in case.
It felt like a good idea at the time, but now, all it is, is the reason why Lena’s going to die today.
--
I’m going to die, Lena thinks over and over again, the thought insistent enough to drown out whatever contrived monologue the gunman’s subjecting her to. And it’s all my fault.
In one last ditch effort to defy her intended fate, Lena lunges forward, grabbing for the gun. But that just results in her sprawling across the floor, jaw exploding in pain where the butt of the gun had struck her. She’s woozy all over, vision swirling then dimming as she looks up at her attacker.
I’m going to die…
The barrel of the gun is all she can make out, until a flash of black calls her attention from the far corner. There’s a shout. Some sounds of a scuffle. A distant gunshot or two. Some more scuffling. Then… nothing.
Lena desperately clings onto her consciousness as long as she can, letting go only when she feels strong, yet gentle hands cradling her head. She passes out, completely and gratefully aware of the fact that her gut’s been proven wrong once again.
//
The harsh fluorescent light is the first thing that Lena notices when she comes to. Then the splitting headache. Then the fact that she’s not alone.
“What happened?” Lena croaks, and is immediately acquainted with how painfully bruised her jaw is. “God. Ow.”
“Shh, shh, lie back down.” Alex gently guides Lena back onto the bed, a hand pressed firmly into Lena’s shoulder to keep her there. “You were attacked in your lab, and definitely got a concussion out of it. But we got the guy and you’re going to be okay.”
Lena grimaces as her most recent memories flit through her throbbing head. “How?” she manages to ask. “Did Supergirl…”
Alex shakes her head, shoots a glance behind her.
“Hey…” A woman steps into view. She’s wearing black head to toe, with a mask covering half her face, but Lena could recognize her anywhere because how could she not?
“Andrea,” Lena says in an almost greeting.
Lena is unsure of how she’s meant to feel about this new development. But the grateful smile that her old friend sends her way inevitably tugs at her heartstrings, rendering them taut and tense. Strained. It hurts in that exquisite way that only Andrea ever seems to bring out of her.
“Yup,” Andrea says with a helplessly exhaled laugh. “It’s me… Hi.”
She reaches out with a hesitant hand, fingers still tucked into her palm—as if afraid to unfurl, to touch Lena’s skin despite the clear desire to provide some comfort. Lena slips both her hands under her blanket to remove the temptation altogether, and Andrea immediately takes a step back again.
“Sorry.”
“Why?” Lena demands. But they both know perfectly well why, so she quickly changes gears again, “How did you save me?”
Andrea sighs, looks back to Alex who just shrugs at her. “It’s… a long story.”
“All right. Fine,” Lena says, nodding even though it makes everything above her shoulders throb and ache. “I have time.”
//
Lena needs to get out of town for a while, they decide, just until the people who’ve hired her latest would-be assassin are apprehended. And Lena agrees.
She’ll need a bodyguard, of course—another thing Lena agrees with. But when Supergirl offers up her services, she has to put her foot down.
“Absolutely not,” Lena insists.
“It’s for your own safety,” Supergirl insists right back, just as heated, just as frustrated as Lena feels. “This is your life, we’re talking about here.”
“And what good is that life if I don’t get to live it on my own terms?”
“What are you talking about? People are literally trying to kill you, and I can keep you safe!”
“But you’re not the one who saved this time, Supergirl,” Lena reminds her, and the accompanying smirk feels almost incidental.
Supergirl stares back at Lena, her jaw clenching tight. “You need protection, Lena.”
“I agree, and Andrea can do it.”
“What? No! Acrata hasn’t had any sort of training and—”
“I said…” Lena cuts in emphatically, and Supergirl has no choice to draw back with a sigh, “I want… Andrea.”
//
Andrea agrees to Lena’s proposal, and so does Alex, which means it’s settled despite Supergirl’s clear wishes to the contrary. It’s only a matter of hours before they’re stuck in the backseat of a DEO van together, being driven to an off-site location—a safe house of sorts, apparently.
“Thank you,” Andrea says eventually.
“What for?” Lena asks before she can stop herself. “If anything, shouldn’t I be the one thanking you?”
“Well… I like knowing that you’re safe. And this way, I’ll know. Either way.”
Lena scoffs. “Ve-ry reassuring. This coming from the person who’s supposed to be keeping me safe.”
“Oh, you’ll be fine,” Andrea says, her eyeroll somehow both playful and good-natured. “As long as you do everything I say, that is.”
“Hm… Is it too late to change bodyguards?”
“Yes!”
Lena unfortunately has to work very hard to keep from laughing. “Fine. I guess I’ll learn to follow directions then. Within reason, of course.”
“It’s not like I won’t be right there behind you the entire time,” Andrea says. She hesitates, then continues in a softer voice, “You jump, I jump, right?”
Lena refuses to look up, opting instead to keep her eyes on Andrea’s fidgeting hands. I’m going to die, she thinks.
“I’m sorry, you don’t have to—” Andrea forces a laugh.
I’m going to die.
“You have every right not to, so... just forget it.”
This is going to kill me.
“It’s stupid, so let’s forget I said anything, okay?”
And what’s more, I’m going to let it.
Andrea lets out one final sigh as she faces away from Lena, her hands now in tight fists pressed into her own lap. “Sorry…” she says again, and Lena already knows that it’s only a matter of time before she starts believing her.

Same Difference Ch.19
“I’ve tried as hard as I physically can-- nothing. I just can’t replicate it.” Nanami let out, frustrated after hours of trying in vain. “Any progress on your end?”
He didn’t meet her gaze, but she could tell by the far-off look in his eyes he wasn’t having much luck either. After running some analysis on their fluid samples from the day before, they found the protein-encased mystery particles from before seemed to be reacting in time with their quirk activation. They surmised it had to be connected to overhaul, but to what end they still weren’t sure. It also wasn’t helpful that whenever they attempted to isolate the particles from the sample fluids, they immediately disintegrated. Nanami felt they were hitting a wall and decided to try something risky. The suggestion had popped into her head an hour or so ago upon reviewing the final footage with Kurono, but hoped they’d figure out an alternative before resorting to testing it out. Sighing, she began, “…I ha—"
“ve an idea.” They spoke simultaneously, though what was a look of apprehension in Nanami’s eyes was one of mischief in Overhaul’s.
Yup, don’t like that.
“Don’t look so worried, we’ll be careful about this, just like last time. I don’t want a repeat of that morning as much as you do.” He said rubbing the back of his head upon remembering how very unpleasant it was cracking his skull and having to anxiously wait by her bedside for days.
“… Fine. But for the record, I do not endorse this, but desperate times…”
“Your apprehension has been noted.” He sighed annoyed, “After you, doctor.”
++++++++++++++++++++
They entered the testing arena followed by Kurono, Rappa and Mimic who were hauling in various plastics from the lab. They placed them neatly against the wall as Nanami took stock of the varying kinds and shapes she had to work with. Overhaul stood nearby taking down the room conditions and making markings on the floor while the last of the plastic was brought in. The pile was large, stretching at least six feet tall. Looking back at him, Nanami confirmed, “You sure about this?”
“Are you questioning him?” Mimic screeched as Nanami’s eyes reflexively rolled the second noise came from his mouth.
“Was I talking to yo—"
“Mimic.” Overhaul chided; his expression bored. Mimic scoffed, folding his arms, but remained silent nonetheless as Overhaul continued, “Yes, I am sure. I trust you.” He replied to her question simply.
If a pin had dropped in that moment, the sound would have been deafening as the three Precepts froze, staring in shock at what they’d heard. Nanami shared in their surprise before promptly looking away, feeling his gaze to be a bit too intense at the declaration. It was common knowledge that the only person he truly trusted was himself, and to state otherwise, in front of an audience no less, was no small matter. There wasn’t a hint of the sarcasm in his voice or features at his reply to her, no air of manipulation. It felt sincere and she was confronted with the possibility that the games had ended, and they’d truly stepped into new territory that sent her heart racing. A simple ‘yes’ would have sufficed. Nanami thought, annoyed at how easily he got a rise out of her, heat rising to her cheeks.
Satisfied with her reaction, he resumed, his gaze still fixed on her, “Now, if you all value your eyes, you’ll leave us to our work. Or did any of you have something to say?”
“Nope, I’m good.” Rappa replied, turning on his heel and out of the room as the rest of them followed suit, Kurono’s face a bit too smug for Nanami’s liking.
Now alone in the room, Nanami spoke, still refusing to make eye contact, “L-let’s just get started.” She knelt down to the pile, examining it for a beat before transforming it into a large span of padding that covered a quarter of the room, the density thickest towards the center. The plastics made great raw materials for make-shift poly-fil, the padding essentially being a giant pillow to soften the impact she anticipated.
He strode over to her, disposing of his gloves, “We’ve tried a myriad of different ways to recreate the blast from the experiment on our lonesome with… depressing results. By the footage we can confirm that the air is what reacted to our quirk. I say we try again, together this time.”
“It’s gonna be pretty hard since I know we’re supposed to get riled up. It’d be kind of contrived to do it the same way as last time, don’t you think?”
“Agreed, but I don’t think that will be necessary. I’d like to try it as though we’re using overhaul normally, without any significant stressors.” He reasoned before motioning to the lines drawn on the floor as guides, “If we adhere to the diagram, we should be able to perform this with minimal risk.”
She chewed the inside of her mouth before acquiescing, “Alright, let’s line up and on the count of three, we’ll give it a shot.”
Nodding the went to their designated markers, both focusing intently on the target placed on the other side of the room. Standing side-by-side, each extended an arm outward, aiming towards the marker a few yards away. Taking a centering breath, Overhaul began, “One… two… three…”
“…”
“…”
“… Okay, now we just look constipated.” Nanami exasperated, frustrated by their lack of progress.
“Be serious.”
“I am. I just don’t know how this is supposed to work. Obviously, air is matter, but it’s… different. I can’t see it…”
“…But we can feel it.” They looked to each other, sharing a eureka moment. Early on in their research, they discovered what seemed to be a heightened sensitivity in their hands which was unsurprising as they were their primary quirk factors ( Nanami also discovered their feet could serve as secondary factors, but the idea of feet in general grossed Overhaul out so the discovery was promptly archived).
Closing her eyes, Nanami focused on her hands, feeling for every whisp of air that caressed her fingertips as she slowly moved them through the air. She was sure it looked like she was having a very boring acid trip, but ultimately the movements worked to help visualize the air particles to the best of her ability. With renewed vigor, she opened her eyes to see her lab partner doing a similar exercise, though his movements were more akin to lazier version of jazz hands. Stifling a giggle at the sight, she cleared her throat to gain his attention, “Ready to try again?”
“On three.” He confirmed, with a nod, his eyes focused on the target in the distance once more. “One… two… thre—"
The second the last syllable ended, a chain of explosions cascaded across the room, obliterating the target in an instant. The blast sent them careening backwards towards the padding on the wall and across the room and Nanami found herself eternally grateful they’d taken the time to reinforce it. Dizzied by the recoil, she hazily peered in the direction of the target, brushing a stray hair from her face. Blinking her vision into focus, it was clear that the target was gone… As well as the wall behind it… And the wall behind that one as well. Rebar and blocks of concrete fell pathetically from the rim of the gaping hole left behind, though the sound was muffled by the ringing in her right ear.
It worked. Nanami thought awestruck at her quirk. She could acknowledge its usefulness in a general sense, but for whatever reason, this moment reminded her of the sublime, and she felt Herculean for the first time in her life. It became easier for her to imagine how this feeling would leave others drunk with power, the possibility for creation and destruction growing more vast by the day, but her resolve remained unwavering. In the same moment that she was in awe of the destruction, there was a marked guilt at the thought of someone being in the way of a blast like that. Her quirk felt like a cruel metaphor for her life; constantly building to mitigate the equally constant destruction, both of which she was responsible for. I…have really got to stop depressing myself like this. She thought, shaking herself out of the mini-existential crisis.
Readjusting herself on the padding where she landed, there was a warmth on her back, then small, rhythmic breathes. She looked to either side of her to see familiar slack-clad legs caging her in. Connecting the dots, her eyes shot wide, realizing she was sitting in her partner’s lap. Trying to ignore a slew of unprofessional thoughts, she turned carefully, a small part of her hoping he’d been knocked out, simply to avoid any embarrassment. Still a bit sore, she steadied herself, absentmindedly putting a hand on his chest, the other pressing against the padding before looking to his face. Much to her chagrin, he was fully conscious. He gazed down at her with an expression she couldn’t read, though it certainly wasn’t blank. Hyperaware of their positioning she attempted to steady her breath before speaking, feeling the familiar tension between them growing more potent. Move! Say something, do something! Literally anything! Instead her breath hitched as he unsubtly glanced down at her lips before returning to her eyes, the fact that he’d made no efforts to change their position now weighing heavily on her. It was becoming too much for Nanami as it became clearer by the moment what the tension would amount to if left unchecked. The scariest part of it all being that she wouldn’t stop him if he decided to act on whatever ideas were dancing behind those eyes. Panicked by her own willingness, she blurted out the first thing that came to mind, an awestruck look still in her eyes as she appreciated seeing him this close.
“That… was a bigass explosion.”
Truly insightful observation, Dr.Watanabe. Just put that as the title of the research paper: The Methodology and Phenomena of Bigass Explosions. She thought, inwardly rolling her eyes at herself.
She could feel his chest jerk at her comment in a stifled chuckle, his face that of disbelief and amusement, “You’re not wrong… Would you care to join me in getting up and surveying the results? This position isn’t ideal, for labwork that is.” He spoke the last part a bit too suggestively and Nanami was convinced her face would be stuck in a permanent state of blush.
“O-oh yeah, of course! Sorry about that,” She stammered, hopping to her feet before instinctively extending her hand to help him up. She almost immediately remembered how silly the gesture was, but before she could withdraw the palm, he grasped it firmly, accepted the lift. She pulled him up, struggling for a beat as he was heavier than he looked, trying her best to hide a look of shock as he held her hand longer than necessary.
As they surveyed the damage from a distance, there was a glint in his eye, that left her equally excited and concerned. They hadn’t realized it yet, but what appeared to be a breakthrough dragged behind it a deluge of questions they might soon regret asking.

Previous Chapter:
Read Chapter 1 | Belphegor here!
-
“Beel! ” Belphie’s eyes were steeped with betrayal. “You said you’d come for me. Where are you?”
Beelzebub watched as his twin’s form disintegrated before his very eyes and reached toward him. “I did, Belphie —I just couldn’t—”
“I’ve been waiting two years, Beel!" Belphie cried, more and more of his body disappearing into nothingness. “ Two years! We agreed to three weeks! Are you even going to come for me at all? ”
“I’m coming, Belphie!” Beelzebub screamed, bolting out of bed and reaching forward as if to grab his missing brother’s hand. His fingertips grasped nothing but air. He shivered, realizing it was just a dream—a dream that he’d had every day for the past two years.
Two years. That’s how long it had been since Beelzebub had seen his younger brother. Two years since he’d left him on Earth, promising to come back at sunset three weeks later. Two years since he’d gone to look for his brother after the three weeks were up, only to realize that Belphegor had moved around so much on Earth and was no longer in the same village that he’d left him. Two years during which Beelzebub had spent every single waking moment of his eternal life when he wasn’t guarding Eden to look for his only brother in every human-inhabited region of Earth, forgoing most of his meals and sleep and taking only a few moments every night after searching to rest.
He stared at the space next to him on his king-size bed where two years ago, Belphie would have slept and sighed. He rubbed his eyes groggily—getting only ten minutes of sleep every night caused him to be perpetually tired—and looked at the golden clock that rested on his bedside table. It read that it was dawn; the Guardians of Eden on the night shift would be almost done standing sentinel over the Garden by now. That meant it was almost time for him to get to work.
Beelzebub’s stomach growled in protest as he changed out of his sleeping tunic and into the pearly white robes and green sash that were his standard uniform. His meal times had varied greatly in the two years that he had spent scouting the Earth for his brother. He could only afford to waste a few precious seconds on eating quick meals, none of which sustained him for very long.
And today, since it was already so close to the time for his shift to start, he didn’t want to waste even a moment by grabbing something to eat.
He raced toward the precipice of the Celestial Realm and launched himself off. As soon as his feet left the cloud cover that made up the ground, he flapped his wings downward and began his descent toward the surface of Earth.
This trip always chilled Beelzebub to his very bones. He could almost feel his hands curl underneath his brother’s arms as the two made their way to Earth—him to go guard Eden, and Belphie to go observe and interact with humans.
He flew downward for a few moments before his feet touched the ground. He walked north for several feet before he saw the silhouette of tall, imposing fruit trees and the other plants that made of the flora of the Garden of Eden.
“Beelzebub!” Adoniel greeted from the Garden’s entrance. “You’re right on time.”
Chasan, the other angel on duty, saluted him. “Good to see you.”
“You, too,” Beelzebub replied. “You guys can go; I’ll take it from here.”
As the two nighttime Guardians of Eden began to take their leave, Beelzebub glanced at the sky, searching for Tabris, the angel with whom he had shared the morning shift with for as long as the Garden of Eden had needed guarding. Usually, Tabris arrived earlier than him, but today, he was nowhere to be seen.
Figuring the other angel had overslept, Beelzebub walked over to the entrance and stood erect, scanning the area in front of him for any intruders, as he always did.
Several minutes passed by, and there was still no sight of Tabris. Beelzebub began to worry; if his Father found out about his partner’s tardiness, there would be no doubt that he would be punished severely. His Father wasn’t known for physically abusing His children for minor infractions like lateness, but the incensed lectures He gave were even worse than even the most abrasive whippings.
As Beelzebub decided that today he would just have to do the work of two guards, he heard the sound of wings flapping. He glanced at the sky, expecting to see Tabris, but instead, saw the figure of a female angel.
This angel was exceedingly beautiful, with long hair that cascaded down her back and features so fine that he had to wonder exactly how long his Father had spent fashioning her. One thing, he noticed in particular, was her wings: they were massive and feathered, covered in jewels and various precious gemstones. They were far too heavy to be of any practical use. He figured that they were just ornamental. He deduced that she must not be an angel that was usually sent down to Earth, else she would have been given functional wings, or none at all.
The woman angel caught him staring and blushed, tucking her wings behind her. “Yeah, I wasn’t created to leave the Celestial Realm, much.” She fingered the gaudy feathers that adorned her back. “They’re just supposed to look pretty.”
He then realized that she appeared familiar. “Wait—you’re one of the Seraphim, aren’t you?” No wonder she didn’t venture out of the Celestial Realm. The seraphim were the most powerful angels—even more so than most Archangels—with beautiful voices. They sat directly at the Throne of the Almighty, singing his praises day after day.
“Yes, my name is Lilith.” She reached out her hand, and he shook it. “I’ve been assigned to be your fellow Guardian of Eden today.”
Beelzebub did a double-take. Why in the world would God assign a mighty Seraph to do a menial guard job? “What do you mean?” He looked around. “What about Tabris?” When he saw the confused look on Lilith’s face, he elaborated, “He and I have been the morning guards of Eden for as long as I can remember.”
“You didn’t hear? Tabris broke one of his wings yesterday. He’s on bed rest for the next few days,” replied Lilith.
Huh. Beelzebub hadn’t heard anything about his partner’s injury, but then again, he had been on full Belphie-searching mode, so he hadn’t had much time to pay attention to anything else. He felt a twinge of guilt creep up but tried to focus on the matter at hand. “Ah, okay, but why you as his replacement? You’re a Seraph—surely your worship is more important than this.”
Lilith blushed and wouldn’t meet his eyes. “Well, I’m currently suspended.”
“What? Why?” he asked, his eyes widening. Seraphim were wildly devoted to their Father. He couldn’t imagine one doing something to upset their Father so much that he would suspend them.
She took a deep breath and her blush deepened. “Well, yesterday, my sisters and I were worshipping at the Throne, as usual, when I realized that one of the rhythms to the hymns that we were singing was written really off. I first thought that maybe it was our fault and we were singing it wrong, but I checked and it was just written strangely. So, I went to go take the music earlier today to Leviathan—you know, the Angel of Worship.”
Beelzebub could see where this story was going. The Angel of Worship’s antics when it came to critiques of his praise songs were well-known. “And he got angry with your comments, then went directly to Father, made it sound worse than it was, and got you in trouble,” he finished for her. “Leviathan will do anything to make an excuse to go see Father directly.”
“He’s such a kiss-up, sometimes.” Lilith shook her head and pulled out two spiced manna cakes from her orange sash.
He couldn’t help but watch her unpeel the wrapper from the two cinnamon-and-clove flavored biscuits, his stomach growling loudly. He blushed.
Lilith smiled and reached out her hand, offering him a cake. “Want one?”
Beelzebub grabbed it, smiling and deciding that he definitely liked this angel. The cakes were incredibly dry and were meant to be eaten soaked in milk and honey, but he was so hungry that he couldn’t care less and took a bite of the crumbly biscuit.
“Sorry,” he apologized, his mouth filled with manna. “I don’t get many chances to eat.”
She put a hand on his shoulder sympathetically. “I heard about your brother—everyone has. I mean, he’s the Angel of the Sabbath. Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll find him soon.”
Beelzebub sighed, suddenly not so hungry, but swallowing the rest of the cake, anyway. “I hope so.”
Lilith noticed the change in his demeanor and poked him in the chest. “You’re Beelzebub, right? You’re supposed to be one of the best guardians ever—teach me your ways!”
A hint of a smile curled on his face. He could see that she was just trying to take his mind off of Belphie. “Being a Guardian of Eden isn’t so hard. Our goal is to keep humans away from the Garden, but even more so, away from the Tree of Life in the middle.” He pointed east from where they were standing, in the direction of the Tree. “The fruit from that Tree has the power to heal any kind of ailment—including the effects of old age.”
“I thought it was supposed to make humans immortal and to heal angels’ diseases.”
“The angel part is true but not the human one—that’s just a rumor we spread to deter them from trying to find it, considering some humans are content and relieved with their mortality. The real power is that every time a human or angel consumes one, it cures them of whatever sickness they’re currently suffering from, even if it’s just the aches and pains that come with being old.”
“I got you. Well, that sounds easy enough, Beel.”
Beelzebub swallowed at the nickname; it was something only Belphie had called him, but he was surprised that it sounded right coming from her lips, too. “It is.”
They stood side by side, guarding Eden for several hours. It was almost sunset, and Beel wanted to get a head start on searching for Belphie. But, before he could say anything to Lilith, he noticed a figure coming up over the horizon, hunched over and carrying what appeared to be a person.
“Who’s that?” Lilith asked.
Beelzebub readjusted his stance and frowned. “An intruder.”
And he was right. Ambling up to them was an emaciated man, his tattered loincloth dirty and covered in what looked like dried bloodstains. In his arms was a young girl, her unwashed hair plaited, looking just as worse for wear as the man carrying her.
“Please,” the man pleaded, walking up to Beel, who looked on ahead of him stoically. “My daughter—she’s very ill.”
A pang of guilt shot through Beel’s heart, but he had seen cases like this all the time. And as usual, he knew he had to turn them away. “I’m sorry, sir, but—”
“Oh, my goodness,” Lilith cried, rushing to the man’s side, taking the young girl out of his hands and cradling her herself. Her eyes widened and filled with pity. “What happened?”
“Our camp was raided by another’s several weeks ago, and we have no food. Yesterday, our chief’s wife found some herbs to eat, but when my daughter consumed them, she grew very sick, and she hasn’t woken up since, even though she is still breathing,” the man explained, his eyes filling with tears. “Several moons ago, an angel visited us and told us that my daughter would be the savior of our camp, but if she does not survive, I fear that we will be left defenseless.”
Beel’s heart skipped a beat when the man mentioned another angel. “What did the angel look like? Did he have black and white hair? With eyes like mine? No wings?”
“No, no,” the man said, pausing to analyze Beel’s eyes. “He had tan skin, with white hair and dark blue eyes, tinted with gold. He also definitely had wings.”
Beel could feel his heart drop. He didn’t know who that Messenger Angel was. “Well, either way,” he sighed. “Sir, we can’t help you. You need to leave.”
Lilith glared at him as the man protested, “But sir, we need to get to the Tree of Life. The shaman of our camp has tried everything to heal her, but nothing has worked. We know the fruit from the Tree can heal any kind of sickness.”
Beel didn’t have time to dwell on the fact that the man somehow knew the true nature of the Tree of Life and stamped his foot. “No. No one is allowed in the Garden of Eden.”
“We can make an exception for you, though,” Lilith amended, stepping aside to let the man pass.
This time it was Beel who glared at her. “No, we can’t. Lilith, that’s what we’re here for: we have to make sure no one can get inside the Garden.”
“Beel! This man is desperate. We can’t let that little girl die—we can’t! What kind of angels would we be if we did?”
He massaged his forehead. “Lilith, we have our orders. We can’t just go making exceptions for people based on how desperate they are.”
“Look at her,” Lilith argued, gesturing toward the man’s daughter. “I don’t care what our orders are; we can’t just let this girl die on our watch. I don’t think Father will be angry if what we’re doing saves a life.”
For someone who was supposedly so close to his Father, Lilith didn’t seem to understand that His orders were absolute and that there was no loophole that could be exploited which wouldn’t lead to severe punishment.
Since Lilith had decided to be so adamant, Beelzebub tried a different tactic. “Lilith, this man was told by one of our Messenger Angels that this girl would save her camp someday. Just trust that God will heal her—you know that He doesn’t lie.”
He thought that that point would get her to calm down, but it was to no avail. “She’s suffering now, Beel. I can’t allow that.” She gestured toward the man and motioned for him to enter the Garden.
Beel shook his head in frustration. “There’s no point in letting him in, anyway. The Tree of Life is guarded by flaming swords. He can’t get to it.”
The man’s face crumbled, but Lilith was quick to remedy the situation. “I’ll do it. I’ll fly above the swords, and I’ll pick a fruit from the Tree and give it to him.”
Beel blanched. “No. No, you won’t.”
“Yes. I. Will.” And with that, Lilith raced into the Garden of Eden.
-
Three hours.
That’s how long it had taken for all four Guardians of Eden—and one temporary one—to be summoned to his Father’s Throne Room after the young girl had taken a bite from the fruit of the Tree of Life and had been revived.
In the future, it would take God another year to summon Belphegor for his tribunal, but it had only taken three hours for Him to call Beel for his.
Beelzebub kept his eyes down, not daring to look at his Father’s blinding, lighted presence. He, Adoniel, Chasan, the broken-winged Tabris, and Lilith had just been instructed to rise after falling prostrate before the Throne of God.
The three angels who had not been involved in the incident gave Beel confused looks, but he couldn’t meet their eyes. He stared at the floor, trying to imagine he was anywhere but here.
His Father’s Throne Room was a place of judgment, and usually, the verdict was nothing but guilty. He tried to take his mind off his probably impending doom—surely his Father would blame him for not stopping Lilith as she flew above the flaming swords guarding the Tree of Life and picking its fruit—by listening to the glorious notes of the piano that Lucifer played from God’s left side.
The Archangel of Music’s eyes were closed, like the world was nothing more than him and his music, as his fingers deliberately played the solemn notes of a melody that he had created. Lucifer never played any song twice, and he used no sheet music. Every song that he performed was an original piece that he made up on the spot, the notes coming so alive in his mind that they leaped out of his fingers into the most rapturous tune.
“Beelzebub, Tabris, Adoniel, Chasan, Lilith,” boomed the Almighty.
“We are here, Father,” they chorused, bowing their heads.
“It has come to My attention that one of My Guardians has allowed a fruit to be picked from the Tree of Life.” The glow of God’s glory receded and then flared back even brighter, signifying a spike in His anger. “Which one of you is responsible for this?”
Beelzebub knew that of course, his Father already knew who took the fruit; He was merely giving the culprit an opportunity to own up for their crime and apologize—not that it would make their punishment any less severe.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lilith. The normally upbeat Seraph had her eyes glued to the ground, a terrified look on her face. He frowned in sympathy; facing her Father’s wrath twice in such a short period of time would be a horrifying experience—once was enough for most angels to ensure they never disobeyed again.
And besides, it wasn’t as if Lilith had—apart from breaking orders—done anything wrong. She had technically saved a life, just as she had mentioned before.
Beel gulped as the silence from the five angels filled the room. It was so suffocating that he didn’t know if Lucifer’s masterful playing was sufficient to overcome it. He stepped forward. “I did it, Father.”
His Father’s furious light subsided in surprise. “You, Beelzebub?”
Of course, God knew that it was not him who took the fruit. But, Beel knew how his Father’s mind worked. If Beel admitted to the crime, his Father would punish him for what he confessed and also punish him for lying, as well. The Almighty still knew that Lilith had committed the crime, but Beel’s sacrifice for her would be enough to sate His anger, and she wouldn’t be punished at all.
His admission elicited shocked gasps from Adoniel, Chasan, and Tabris. Lilith stared at him, her eyebrows downturned in agony. “No—” she began.
Beel interrupted her before she could get very far. “—one expected this of me, right, Lilith? Well, they should have. In fact, Father, I was not only the one who picked the fruit, but I ate it, too.”
“You ate the fruit, Beelzebub?” his Father confirmed, even though He knew otherwise. “You know not even angels are allowed to eat the fruit, as they can suffer ailments that can be healed, as well.”
Beelzebub gulped. “Yes. You know I’ve spent many moons flying around Earth, searching for my twin brother, Belphegor, the Angel of the Sabbath. In doing this, I haven’t gotten much time to eat, so in my desperation, I picked from the Tree and ate.”
“What gluttony you displayed, today, my son! This appetite—so all-consuming that you would desecrate a sacred fruit for the pleasure of excess nourishment—this need for immediate gratification in the form of food, has caused you to disobey My orders and sin.” The Almighty’s anger flared again. “You must be punished.”
“Yes, Father, you should punish me,” Beel replied, wringing the hem of his tunic nervously. And punish me, and me alone, he added silently.
“This is your first offense, my son—I will make your retribution less severe, provided you understand the error of your ways. Answer me, Beelzebub, do you regret what you did?”
Considering he hadn’t even committed any crime, Beel knew he couldn’t answer the question truthfully. He turned his head to look at Lilith, whose eyes were overflowing with grateful tears, her hands over her mouth to drown out her sobs. He knew that he would admit to the offense a hundred times if it meant she didn’t have to suffer for it.
So he answered the question in that context instead.
“No.”

Switch au
N/A: This idea comes to me thanks to some fanarts and some talks. What am I doing? Honestly, no idea. But I´m doing something. BTW, this is a mix of Ultimate and 616. A new au here.
@dannybagpipesarecalling @djinmer4 @bamfoftheundead @muninandhugin
Her skin is wet, completely so. Her cold sweat covers all spots of her body. Boisterous sounds assault her ear-her eyes see unfocused and dubious figures coming near her form- as the voices, sounds are still enigmatic to her form. Suddenly, a loud honk forces her eyes to locate a big van and a man - if her eyes have the strength to see something so bleary- and her eyes saw the crimson circle and can only reply. "w-what?" with such feeble tone cementing the fact the others sure must haven´t heard.
"Call HER now. We found" she can hear someone giving orders. Someone familiar. And she sees a form of a blonde woman-oh, she can see the logo of quartet fantastic. Is Sue Storm- near the circle and muttering something. She can´t hear well.
"Don´t worry....you´re safe...Kitty" is all she managed to get before she closes her eyes again.
________________________________________________________________________________________
(2 hours before)
One Kitty Pryde is forming a circle in what used to be Dr. Stranger´s old apartment- the man moved out years ago and never look back- and aggressive fixing the symbols in the view. And huffing in and out. She clenches her teeth for a moment and only speaks once the digital watch-the the only thing she brought with her- marked 00:00 and then finally speaks.
"I summon, the begin, not the end. I summon the harbinger of life. Venus, heed my call" Kitty repeats those words 3 times and waits impatiently - tapping her foot away from the circle to not mess out her work of art- until someone taps her shoulders.
"You know, I´m pretty easy to summon...no need to go so archaic" and there is Venus. The Herald. With her long fiery hair-metaphorically speaking now-her dress covering what it must but showing a lot of her skin and her smug expression. "So, little mortal, what you want?" she looks up and down to Kitty. "A new sense of fashion?"
Kitty ignored Venus. At least, this question. "No, I want to sue Zaorva for taking my face. She uses my face and does whatever she wants" and Venus does the only sensible thing.
She giggles. Flicks her forehead and then speaks. "You´re supposed to be smart...that is pretty much dumb" and Venus shakes her head amused. "You are out of luck...She-Hulk is solving a conflict between Pheonix and Galaticus...time is relative" Venus responds and shurgs off.
Kitty is not caring. "Then I want to talk with Zaorva." and Venus stops smiling. "You´re being dumb here...but" she lifts her hand as her once brown eyes change into something azzure. "what you know, Zaorva is also amused...ok, little mortal..." and summoning somewhat ancient staff- mind you, out of thin air- Venus pushes Kitty to the circle without any struggle.
And Kitty is down on the rabbit hole, so to speak.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
The beginning is never static. The Neverending is in constant change if you look closely. Nothing remains the same. And Kitty has no mind- a dangerous thing to admit concerning an Outer God and you- to admire the beauty of Neverending. Kitty has no mind to do anything but survive and talk with Zaorva.
The sky is in a greenish shade-one that seems familiar to Kitty and at the same time is completely new- as she´s holding to her dear life on something - something soft and squeeze. And her eyes land on an azzure tentacle. The origin and no end.
"What?"
And a booming voice responds. Amused. In higher spirits and all its attention goes direct to Kitty. "You were wanting to talk with me, right...here I´m, Kitty Pryde. Oh, right..." and the voice stops and Kitty looks to a version of herself- donning with something blue. Not sure if is a dress or a robe, and at the moment, it doesn´t matter- as a face similar to hers is speaking now. "Hello, Kitty. You want to sue me?" and she treats as is a joke.
(It isn´t? Humanity is a fun joke for some Outer Gods. Humanity is a great way to kill time for others)
Kitty let go of the tentacle-better not try to understand how Zaorva is- and summons her courage again. "Why you bless that union?" and Zaorva didn´t respond and Kitty continues. "Peter Parker was taken ...by that thing...why?"
And now Zaorva answers putting a finger-Kitty´s finger. And there´re some implications here that she chooses to ignore- making a silent gesture to Kitty. Kitty/Zaorva will explain. "Peter Parker falls in love with the Felicia Hardy of my dimension. If you think this love was caused because of her tits..." Zaorva never breaks eye contact. "you´re wrong! Now...let me answer some of your questions that height in your soul"
Kitty wonders if she can even speak against. Even if she truly wanted. Could she do it?
"Felicia Hardy of the dimension where I live is not human as you noticed but rather the void" Kitty looks even more frightening. "The void has plans to Spiderman...He´s not being forced to be with this version of Felicia nor will be hurt, again, he has plans for this version of Spiderman"
And she continues. "Spiderman of your dimension jump the interdimensional portal on his own free will. No void, no Felicia tempted him to do so...only his desire to escape the mess of this dimension"
And to conclude. "And why I use your face? Because of Katherine Anne Pryde...I was you a long time ago. I can be a bit nostalgic" and a cute smile plays on Zaorva´s face. "And if you want to sue me" she is obviously mocking now. "She-Hulk is dealing with a big problem with Pheonix and Galaticus"
Kitty gulps unsure of her next step. A tentacle shows up. Several.
"Not so fast, little mortal, while I´m amused you wanted to sue me...would be another one to my criminal file" Kitty makes a wtf expression even if she´s still aware of the tentacles. " you did something really dumb and I´m a bit disappointed as well...so, I´ll punish you"
Her eyes change to a crystal tone of blue. She´s smiling in such a serene way. "You´re bold, as you´re judgemental, brash and always look down on magic users...well, that´s a bit hypocrite of you, isn´t it?"
And her view is just darkness.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
And Kitty opens her eyes in a blink. So fast and registering how the ceiling facing her is not the one she is used to. This is not the X-men´s mansion. Not the old apartment of Dr. Strange and not a hospital. Where is she?
"Ah, you wake up!" a voice carries from above. She shivers thinking is Zaorva again- her voice is different from the last time- and her eyes land to the right to see a woman -donned from heads to toes with crimson- hovering in the air in a lotus position.
"Who are you and where am I?" Kitty replies taking a grip on her situation. The woman´s age seems lost to Kitty- either she has 1000 years, which wouldn´t be the first time Kitty meet an immortal, or she has a normal age- opens her eyes and slowly comes down to the ground.
"I´m the Sorceress Supreme of this dimension. Still Scarlet Witch, I fought tooth and nails to keep my title to let go so easily and my name is Wanda Maximoff. You´re Kitty Pryde" Wanda answers for Kitty as she didn´t know who she is. "and you´re in Salem, my house now"
Kitty sits on the now identified as the couch and looks around. There´s nothing suspicious on as far her eyes- tired as they are- can register. "What happened?"
Wanda clap her hands and took a deep breath. "Lots of things happen in the 2 days you were in a comma. Oh, I´ll come there. First off, Jean Grey, the woman who was sleeping with Wolverine behind Scott´s back and then sleeping with Scott behind ...did many bad things earning the wrath of Pheonix...the Firebird would have burned all the X-men, however, Jean in a moment of clarity decides to sacrifice herself in exchange to all X-men´s safety. Pheonix agrees!" and Wanda looks at Kitty´s face.
Kitty and Jean aren´t that much friendly towards each other, in fact, quite the opposite...but, knowing Jean sacrifice herself to save others is something Kitty isn´t ready.
"Then, Logan didn´t take this well and jump into a Vulcan. Yes, that happened. Prof X´s lies are exposed and people start to side with the mutants in the social media" Wanda frowns at that. "sure, when I took the mantle people to side with my people too...but that didn´t lead the Romani people to live well, not all of them"
"Oh...anything else?" Kitty asked and Wanda nods.
"Spiderman renounces his residence in this dimension and is living in a new dimension with Felicia Hardy" Kitty inhales loudly and didn´t say anything. Wanda carries on. "The Avengers as well X-men will never be friends, but, once Tony Stark is out of the picture...again, they won´t be friends" and now she lowers her head and exhales. "Magneto was killed in the most ironic way...a Jewish community of New York killed him as Magneto was ready to murder everyone, mutants, and humans for his view"
Kitty opens her mouth and closes. "I´m sorry"
Wanda didn´t say much about this part. "The Quartet fantastic located and killed Madame Hydra and Red Skull on the same day"
"And then...come to you. You´re either the dumbest or bravest soul I ever meet. You managed to get an audience with the Mother of all magic. What you two talk I don´t know and if you don´t wish to say is alright...but, you must know...." Wanda now narrows her eyes sitting in front of Kitty and level her eyes to the young woman. "what you truly think of magic?"
"I ...never liked"
"Well, congratulations, Kitty...Zaorva loves ironic punishment and now you´ve magic powers" and as Kitty lifts her hands Wanda adds. "You can wrap reality just like me"
Kitty shivers and tries to deny, but, as her hands glow a pinkish light. Kitty knew in her heart, without a doubt, what truly happened. "And what I do?"
"You have options, Kitty. You can go away and return to the X-men" Wanda doesn´t hide her disappointment with the X-men-was an Avenger thing or something else?- "and figure out the magic on your own...is your choice. Or, you can be here and I can teach you how to use safely without hurting anyone or yourself"
And Kitty adds. "I must choose now?"
"No, you have options and time, something I never had...and more importantly, if you want to talk...I´m here ´cause I know and did some pretty dumb things in my youth...you´re not on even top 10"
And Kitty takes a decision. The X-men have an open vacancy and Nightcrawler wonders what happened to Kitty to give up on the X-men- is how he sees it- to go to a magic academy. "Something fishy...and I don´t trust Scarlet Witch nor any Sorcerer Supreme"

SWTOR Fic: Double Duty
Title: "Double Duty"
Fandom: Star Wars: The Old Republic (Drastic Measures AU)
Author: Ginger
Pairing: Imperial Agent/Jedi Shadow (Reanden Taerich/Mairen Bel Iblis)
Rating:T
Summary: ”You’re not a spymaster,” Marcus Trant muttered. “You’re a damned matchmaker!”
Notes:
The idea for this has been rattling around in my head since the Fictober list dropped. The prompt, “I might just kiss you” certainly grabbed the attention of the two assholes. Unfortunately, Real Life™ has been a total bitca and I’m just now settling in to do a little writing in between some embroidery commissions.
Theoretically takes place sometime in some future version of @keldae‘s DMverse, where the Alliance is established on Odessen, with Ardun Kothe having stepped in as spymaster because Spyboy Theron has his own operational duties. Marcus Trant has apparently been forced to depart Coruscant for an as yet undisclosed reason. Mai and Reanden have -- of course -- been snarking at each other for months. More recently, however, Ardun has noted a change between the two...
Many thanks to @keldae for letting me play in the sandbox. You can have Reanden back any time. Really.
“...I have all the particulars on your identities here --” Ardun Kothe stopped, frowning as he bowed his head over his datapad. “Damn it. Grabbed the wrong one,” he said. He looked up to his agents: former Imperial operative, Reanden Taerich, and Green Jedi, Mairen Bel Iblis. “Excuse me -- and ah, try not to kill each other while I’m gone, hm?”
Reanden watched his old friend disappear into the corridor, door sliding closed behind him. He cut Mairen a wicked grin. "I might just kiss you..."
"Might?" The red headed Jedi raised her brows briefly, expression shifting quickly to a smirk. "Be still my beating heart."
His lips quirked sideways in response. "We're supposed to be married, darling," he said. He took two steps forward, narrowing the gap between. "I should be making your heart race."
Her gaze darted involuntarily -- and almost imperceptibly -- to his lips. But Taerich was a student of body language. It’s a tell he noticed, and one she knew she telegraphed. She cocked her head to one side, mischief sparking through green-hazel eyes as she folded her arms across her chest. She didn’t otherwise move. "I suppose, darling," she drawled, "I'll simply have to fake it."
"Fake it?" Reanden stepped closer. "If you must, I suppose. Though perhaps a bit of rehearsal might be needed."
Amusement mixed with the impish gleam in her eyes. "Just so I'm prepared, hm?" Her lips twitched. "Seems I've heard that song and dance before."
At this, Reanden raised his brows, left disappearing under the lock of hair that flopped diagonally across his forehead. "And here I thought Jedi led more sheltered lives. Or so your dear uncle led me to believe."
"My dear uncle has no idea," Mairen replied with a roll of her eyes. "I trained as an operative, Taerich. That required no small amount of... adjustment. Thankfully, my training officer was more than happy to oblige."
His brows arched higher. "Well, so Kothe wasn't always buttoned-up and all business, hm?" He pursed his lips, his own gaze flitted toward her lips. He covered by making a show of looking her over. "And good taste, too."
"Honestly, Taerich," she said. "You're off your game if you think that is flattering." Leaned against the conference table, she shifted a bit, despite herself. Recovering, she gave a wry grin. "At least I know Ardun cares."
"Present tense?" He stepped closer. Warmth radiated between them, as well as an undercurrent of energy that seemed to shadow their interactions of late: a mix of frustration and amusement and irritation and... something else that could prove dangerous. Neither will admit it, but both struggled to keep breathing steady and even. "I'd hate to step on any toes. Professional courtesy, and all that."
Mairen shook her head. "Long since over, if you must know," she answered. "Friends now -- colleagues, too." She glanced down, then back up. "The only toes you're about to step on... are mine.
"Then I suppose I should stop.” His eyes flashed and he swept gently forward with his foot, slipping the toe of his boot the narrow space between her own.
The Jedi arched her left brow sharply. When he didn’t retreat, she shifted to sit on the conference table, widening the gap between her legs. She unfolded her arms, hands coming to rest on either side of her hips.
Gaze holding hers as he stepped into the space, her inner thighs embraced his quads through the fabric of their trousers. He could see the slight flare of her nostrils, knew his were doing the same. Hands curled over the curve of her hip; his lips hovered millimeters away as he spoke: "Should I stop?"
“A little rehearsal,” Mairen replied slowly, “might be just what the agent ordered."
There was a sharp intake of breath, and Taerich sealed his lips over hers. The connection was at first like their conversation: firm, assured, almost taunting. She was, after all, calling his bluff -- matching his brazen attitude with her own. But then his hands drifted up, framing her face as the kiss deepened. Her hands came to rest on his biceps, tugging him closer as she shifted her hips toward his. Around them, the room faded. Their focus narrowed to little more than each other and the current that seemed to flow through them as they explored new territory.
Breaking away abruptly, Reanden dropped his head back and squeezed his eyes shut. Opening them again a moment later, his hazel eyes regarded her, pupils blown. His chest rose and fell quickly, and he swallowed between breaths. He rested his forehead against hers. “Kriffing Hells,” he panted. “Wondered what that was going to be like.”
Her laugh was abbreviated, hindered by her own short breath. “Me, too.” Mairen tightened her grip on his arms briefly. “Now I’m wondering about a lot of other things.”
He chuckled. “Me, too.” There was a long exhale, then he drew back and looked toward the door. “We’ve got to get out of here. Kothe will be back, and we are in no condition for the rest of that mission brief.”
The Corellian Jedi nodded. “Maybe, but…” She licked her lips, brow creasing in thought. “...that mission will get us out of here. And, as you so helpfully pointed out, we’re supposed to be married -- or at least our cover identities are. I can’t think of a better excuse to… satisfy some of that curiosity? Especially since we’ll have quite a bit of downtime after the drop.”
Reanden gave a lopsided grin. “I like the way you think,” he replied. “The only problem I have at the moment is I’d rather just satisfy that curiosity -- right here and now.”
“Force, Taerich,” she hissed. Her hands tightened on his arms. She then pushed him away, employing a small amount of assistance from that same energy she’d just taken in vain. Reanden landed heavily in the chair to her left. The want in her green hazel eyes reflected his own as she looked to him. “Later.”
A split second and the durasteel panel slid open once again. Kothe entered much as he’d departed, eyes fixed on the datapad in his hands. “And this should cover it,” he said as he made his way toward them. “I’m uploading the data to your ship, Reanden -- it’ll be best employed for this one. You can study your covers en route.”
The former Imperial nodded, crossing his legs, casually interlacing his fingers in his lap. “I --” He paused, clearing his throat. “I’ll make sure she’s prepped and ready to depart as soon as possible.”
Kothe nodded. “Good.” He looked to Mairen and blinked. “You all right, Mai? You look a little flushed.”
“Yes, well…” Mairen cleared her own throat, glancing to Reanden, then back to her old friend and colleague. “We had a few choice words while you were gone. I… think we’ve settled it. For now.”
Again, the senior agent nodded. “This is practically a milk run, but the last thing I want is for you two and your sniping at each other to compromise the mission. Understood?”
“Oh, I don’t think that will be a problem.” Reanden pushed himself to standing, flashing a wink at Mairen as he did so. He picked up his jacket from the table, holding it at his waist. He then looked toward her. “Meet you in the hangar in ten?”
“Ten minutes. Got it,” Mairen replied. She slipped off the conference table to her own feet, shifting her attention to Kothe. “See you on the other side, old friend.”
“As always.”
Kothe stood watching as the two beat a hasty retreat from the room.
From the opposite door behind him, Marcus Trant entered, also watching as the two agents hurried away. He gave a long, slow whistle, leaning against the podium at the front of the room. "Those two," he drawled, "are like detonite."
Picking up the small surveillance device, a disc about the size of a credit chip, Kothe chuckled. "Ready to blow at the lightest spark?" Trant nodded. "You're not wrong... and it's exactly the reason I'm sending them on this meet. We don't want them anywhere nearby when they finally get their drutash together."
Trant shook his head. "I thought she hated him."
"She did." The former Jedi looked up at his colleague, hint of a smirk ghosting across his lips. "Or rather, she hated her perception of him -- one fed to her for decades by her uncle... who, as we both know, has his own reasons for bias." The smirk finally stuck. "Turns out the reality is a bit more complicated."
"So it would seem." Marcus shifted, gaze following Kothe as he moved about the room, gathering datapads and tapping controls on the console integrated into the table. A crease formed in his brow. "Mairen's not exactly known for fooling around, Ardun."
Kothe nodded, once. "I'm more than aware," he said. His voice was a low rumble, rueful tone evident in his words. "He's the first to spark such a... passionate... reaction from her since -- well, in a long while.”
Since you, Marcus supplied silently. "But... Taerich?" he asked. "He's a remarkable agent and an old friend, but... well, his issues have issues. You know that as well as I do."
"And Mai -- Mairen -- isn't without her own baggage," Kothe began. "But I've seen -- and heard -- how miserable he is, Marcus. That banter between them is the liveliest I've seen him outside of an op in...also in a long time."
“Same.” Trant grimaced. He shook his head. “He’s been an absolute disaster since Airna died. Kept it from the kids well enough, I guess; even from me, for the most part. The past few years, he’s pretended to have it together -- and actually has -- for missions. I’ve pretended not to notice when he drops off the radar afterward.”
“Binging?”
The former director of SIS nodded once. “Not unlike you, after… well, after. But you climbed out of the bottle. He keeps finding his way back in.”
“A popular diversion, but not a coping mechanism.” Kothe offered a rueful smile. “She’s a good balance for him -- not afraid to call him out on his bantha shit, like Airna. He needs that. If this works -- and that’s a big if -- it might help.”
Marcus regarded his colleague for a long moment, lips pursed as he chose his words carefully. He shifted his weight between his feet, picked at the veneer on the podium. “You two have something of a history,” he said. “You’re okay with her and the old bastard?”
“Mai and I,” Kothe began, “are friends. Have been since she left Corellia.” He placed his datapad onto the conference table. Leaning against it in a manner that he had seen the Green Jedi herself do earlier, he folded his arms across his chest. “We can’t go back, and I don’t know that either of us wants to. I just want her to be happy. And I want that old bastard to be happy, too.”
Trant sighed, then gave a snort of laughter, shaking his head. “You’re not a spymaster,” he said. “You’re a damned matchmaker.”
At this, Kothe laughed. “Not the spymaster anymore -- or I won’t be when you step up,” he replied. “Seems to me, I’m left at loose ends.”
“Doesn’t make you the morale officer.”
“True. Hylo might not like me honing in on her territory.”
Shaking his head again, Marcus pushed himself to his feet. “C’mon,” he said, beckoning with a wave of his left hand, “and let me buy you a drink. Got a bottle of Whyren’s in the stash.”
The former Jedi fell into step next to his friend, pausing only long enough to secure the conference room. “Hope you’ve got more than one bottle in there, old friend,” he said. “With those two, we’re gonna need a steady supply.”
“With those two, we might as well buy the distillery…”

Congratulations, PARKER! You’ve been accepted for the role of LAERTES. Admin Minnie: It’s absolutely not a secret that we’ve been waiting for Lawrence for a long time, and boy did you deliver. Your characterization was distinct, your voice was so clear and your plots — Parker, your plots had me so excited and literally vibrating in my seat to see it all unfold. And trust me, I just came back from a long day of meetings and hours of driving and a flight; it took a lot for me to feel energized this evening. The way you brought Lawrence to life was so vivid and unforgettable in your application, and I have no doubt you’re going to do the same on our dash. Please read over the checklist and send in your blog within 24 hours.
WELCOME TO THE MOB.
OUT OF CHARACTER
Alias | Parker
Age | 19
Preferred Pronouns | He/him
Activity Level | So here’s the tea, right? I’m a college student who never learned how to set up a schedule that doesn’t suck and am highly involved in student government because I am poor and it pays for my housing and meals. So when it comes to the school year, I’m busy. I’m hella busy, so I’ll probably do replies on the weekends and at ungodly hours in the morning for the vast majority of the year. However, this semester is coming to a close and as long as I survive finals, I’ll have five weeks where I can be on every single day!
Timezone | Mountain Standard Time (MST)
How did you find the rp? | My cousin showed it to me during Thanksgiving, of all the wacky things! She’s big into RP and she knows how much I love Shakespeare, and she thought I’d like this group. I thought I’d try and enter her world and see if I also like RP’ing/actually writing consistently with a set goal in mind.
IN CHARACTER
Character | Laertes - Lawrence Alvise Vernon. I absolutely adore Kendrick Sampson as Lawrence, so no faceclaim changes from me!
What drew you to this character? | So, I have a gut feeling this is going to get pretty long, so please bear with me. I think the first part that attracted me to Lawrence was the character he’s based off of. Hamlet was the first Shakespeare play I read, liked, and understood (though not in that order I don’t think). It was really awesome to see a character from something that had such a huge impact on me and what I want to do with my life still open and available! And Laertes is so important to that original story, even if the tragic Danish boyfriends overshadow him in the general story and in the fandom. The OG story doesn’t function as a tragedy without Laertes and the emotional impact of that last act and a half is only tear-inducing, to me, if Laertes was there. The story just needs him there, you know? One of the reasons I picked him to apply with is because I hoped the same could be said about the story of Diverona and I wanted to play that kind of role in a group filled with characters I think are awesome.
But it isn’t all source material that lead me to pick Lawrence, oh no! Lawrence is, as his bio shows, driven by a near all-consuming need for approval. He’s willing to keep pushing towards and striving for goals that would be completely out of reach if it wasn’t for his absolute, burning need to prove that he is capable of meeting those goals and surpassing them. For Lawrence, he expects that one receives love only if its been earned. He was never told that he was enough on his own merit and so the idea that he, as a person, is worthy has never crossed his mind, which is an absolutely tragedy! However, it’s something I understand and looking at that aspect of his character, I felt I’d be able to do it justice because I deal with a very similar thing far too often for it to be healthy.
However, there was one part of the bio that convinced be Lawrence was the character I had to try and get into this group with. Lawrence is a genuinely good person that has had to push that goodness aside to become someone his father prefers and someone his father would give the underboss title too. He isn’t, as you stated, cruel, but he has learned that in order to advance, he has to step on people, he must control every little itsy thing, and he must, above all, be perfect. But! Despite all these lessons, he is still a good egg! A good bean! I really appreciated you all making sure that was evident in his bio and it was really the thing that convinced me to apply for him!
What is a future plot idea you have in mind for the character? |
Plot One - Little Sister, You’re All That I Know: So, we’re starting off with the most important plot of all, said from the perspective of another older brother to a younger sister. From what I can tell, the Vernon siblings are both extraordinarily in love with people, but not because of any other reason than the fact that they’re people. Or, at least, they were, up until Lawrence got so angry at Verona for daring to kill his father that he single-handedly took up the pitchforks and torches to make those responsible for that death pay. In the meantime, he’s managed to completely smother and override his sister’s opinion and free will which is so incredibly not good, even if it is well-intentioned. I want Lawrence to learn to back off, to trust his sister, and to learn that as strong as he is alone, he’s much stronger with his sister at his back. I imagine the jumpstart for this would be Odessa doing something really awesome, maybe even saving Lawrence’s life. By proving in a very direct way that she would be able to look after herself, that would allow Lawrence to begin backing off, to release the reigns of control, and trusting her to take care of herself in a way their father never imagined. Unfortunately, Lawrence is stubborn. He won’t change unless someone else kickstarts that change by being extremely impressive. Which is… Not ideal but it is, however, the only way I see that change happening.
Plot Two - Throw Me in the Delorean and it Never Happened: The thing about anger is that it is all-consuming. The thing about vengeance is that it is blinding. And the thing is: when you’re running on both and only on both, you are going to make a mistake. Lawrence is so desperate to be perfect that realizing he made a mistake would be devastating. So you know what I want? I want him to make an absolutely disastrous mistake and I want him to kill the wrong person that he was convinced was involved in the plot to kill his father. Think of it as his own blind stabbing through a curtain without checking to see who was on the other side. I want it because there is nothing like realizing your oopsie resulted in the loss of someone that should have seen the next sunrise to shake the foundations of your conviction. It would be perfect as it would show Lawrence he isn’t infallible and he isn’t perfect, no matter how hard he tries to be Personally, I’d love if he makes a go at a Montague and is forced to also check is loyalty and conviction to the family he’s worked with since he was a little boy. This could easily evolve from him keeping an eye on someone and completely misinterpreting what they’ve been up to and acting rashly. I feel like his failure of judgement would leave the Montagues shaken and reeling and it would further destabilize the city, which is frankly a big yes please from me. I also want Lawrence to try and cover his failure up and fail miserably. That’s really just because I feel like it would be a very interesting character study to see how Lawrence deals with trying to hide the evidence of his imperfection and doesn’t have a lot to do with Verona as a city, but alas, I am just a humble writer too focused on the golden boy and recognize that aspect of this may not come to play at all.
Plot Three: The Beauty of a Broken Bust: In the biography, you wrote that “he was put on a pedestal so high that a fall might’ve shattered him”. That foundation he’s on isn’t the sturdiest of things at the moment, considering the person that made that base is now dead. So, I want him to shatter and break apart. I want the pieces that had made him up, the pieces that he has forced to make him up to go flying to who knows where, leaving Lawrence with nothing else to do but to rebuild himself entirely without his father’s influence. This would change his perspective on the war as well as his relationships with nearly every character in this RP. It would also force him to confront the actions and choices he made while trying to become someone his father would be proud of. I truly believe this is something he must eventually go through because the person he is trying to be for a dead man isn’t sustainable nor is it healthy! Something has got to change and that something is code for Lawrence. I can see this happening because of the death of his sister, a very personal betrayal from inside the Montague family, or from the plot I mentioned directly above. If Lawrence stays the way he is, however, he’s going to burn himself out before he can give the Vernon name any sort of justice and he has to accept that. The issue with this plot is that he’s so stubborn and this happening would require a push so strong I’m not entirely sure I want to see it. (That’s a lie, I absolutely do want to see it, but my internal dramatics insisted that I state it that way.)
Plot Four - Now Would You Kindly: Now, I know y’all said three plots and I hear you, but I have more ideas and I want to share them! The first of these extra ideas is that it is a truth universally acknowledged by Montagues, Capulets, and Vernons alike that Alvise was not a good man. Lawrence knows this, Roman knows this, the pigeons that litter the city know this. I want evidence of his wrongdoings to come swinging back and to slap Lawrence so hard that he’s forced to question if the footsteps of his father are ones worth following. Maybe it’s in the form of letters of blackmail or an investigation into how many innocent people he helped kill, but I want it to happen and I want the evidence to be so overwhelming it almost drowns Lawrence. He’s spent a very long time pushing down what he wants to be for what his father wants him to be and I want Lawrence to question if it’s really been worth it, if that kind of person has been worth the outrageous effort he’s put in to make it happen. And maybe that person isn’t someone Odessa wants to be related to, which is something I think would absolutely impact Lawrence’s decision. She is his last living blood relative, after all.
Plot Five - I’m the King of the Castle: In Lawrence’s mind, I have no doubt that he believes he should be the Montague underboss now that he is back in town. He has, after all, fought for it, cried for it, and killed for it. However! He is not the underboss and that has no doubt rubbed him the wrong way. So, I want him, in his crusade to avenge his father, to also do his best to prove how perfect he is for the underboss role. I want him to leap into impossible jobs and to push down his morals yet again and brush on a mask of cruelty because he wants it, he deserves it, and it his in his name and therefore his legacy that he has the blasted title of underboss! He needs to fight for it and I want that fight to be obvious and also just flat-out brutal to observe. I don’t know if I actually want him to get it, if I’m being completely honest. Him having the title also raises some issues about what he did to get there, issues I want to explore, however I feel that such a role would push Lawrence too far in one direction on that vague scale of morality and loyalty he currently exists on and I kinda want him to keep waffling on it for as long as possible. This could change however! Especially with plotting. And I recognize that, so I will say that the core of this plot is his fight for the role of underboss and less about what would happen if he got it.
Are you comfortable with killing off your character? | Yeah, I’m ok with that! It would really suck, especially given how the Vernon family has been absolutely just. Destroyed. Uprooted. Left unmoored and drifting in the wind like last week’s laundry. But that same instinct that tells me that killing Lawrence would a) sprinkle in some awesomeness that is the original source material in a very satisfying way and b) would upend Verona even more than its already been, giving and taking motivations from people and maybe driving the rest of the Montague family just absolutely over the deep-end, which I would pay actual, real-life money to see. The slow destruction of the Vernon family is the slow destruction of Verona herself which means there is some drama to be had in Lawrence’s death! And I do love drama.
IN DEPTH
In-Character Interview (I only did two, please let me know if you want more!):
“What has been your biggest mistake thus far?”
Lawrence swallowed, face kept carefully still to give nothing away. Answers sprung to the tip of his tongue, eager to leap forward like hounds released from their kennel, but opening that door would destroy a lot more than just Lawrence’s reputation. Indeed, the perfect tool should not have so many answers to that question, but perhaps, Lawrence mused, his time away had done something to his obedience.
He stalled for time by taking a sip of the drink he had been neglecting in the warm Italian air. It was now unpleasantly lukewarm as the golden heat of the day made its way into the glass but it was better than nothing. It was only as he took a small sip that an answer sprung to mind, one that was both truthful and good for the image he was attempting to maintain.
“I have to say it was leaving the city,” he commented, returning the glass to the table. “I… left for reasons I am proud of, especially because there’s nothing wrong with being educated in this world. But if I had stayed, I could have done something!” Lawrence’s fist hit the table, making the glass and girl across from him jump. The sudden burst of temper was gone as quickly as it had arrived as his hand opened and his shoulders relaxed. “If I had stayed, this all wouldn’t have happened and a great man would still be with us. But I didn’t and now my father is dead.” He shrugged, meeting the girl’s eyes and hoping she wouldn’t see the emotion carried in them. “If I had come back earlier, Verona would be a very different place.”
“What are your thoughts on the war between the Capulets and the Montagues?”
His jaw clenched so tightly, a particularly attentive listener could hear his teeth protest the treatment. Lawrence’s hand held the chair like it was the only thing keeping him from leaping across the room to punch the smugly smirking man in the nose. “Just because I’ve only recently returned,” he gritted out, “does not mean I have gone turncoat. There is nothing,” he spat out, “nothing in this city more justified or honorable.”
His body eased the tension that it had so rapidly adopted as he noticed the nervous twitches and aborted movements to concealed weapons that had begun filling the room. As he eased, the rest of the room did too. “But you’re wrong,” Lawrence continued quietly, though there was no mistaking the vehmance leaking from his mouth like poison. “This isn’t a war. This is justice long overdue and more than earned. To call it a war is to imply the Montagues are not fully in the right.”
Lawrence took a deep breath, exhaling some of the passion he had been speaking with not long before. “I wish it wasn’t the loss of my fath–” His voice cracked and Lawrence swallowed, once, before continuing. “Alvise that had caused it, but it is only makes this city all that more dangerous for the Capulets. Because now I am back in Verona and I am coming for every single one with Vernon blood on their hands.” Perhaps it was dramatic, but the ice-cold certainty that hung in Lawrence’s voice stole any humor from the proclamation.
In-Character Para Sample:
He was eight years old, holding a pistol in shaking hands barely large enough to operate the thing. A slowly expanding puddle of red licked at his new shoes, staining them from cream to what would, by tomorrow, be an ugly brown. The shoes were what Lawrence focused on, the shoes and their new color. Because if he didn’t, if he looked up, he’d see the man slumped against the wall like a marionette without strings. If he looked up, he’d see the evidence of his actions.
Larger hands took the gun from Lawrence, trying and failing to be gentle. He wasn’t large enough to stop Alvise, though he wouldn’t even if he could. If his father took the gun, he could also take the body and the unbearable weight of its existence. Lawrence knew his father could fix anything, make any problem go away, and so he let the gun go. Maybe his father would fix this too. The two said nothing to each other as large men quietly entered the room, cleaning it, restoring it under the watchful eye of a king of Verona. Lawrence kept his eyes on his shoes.
Before long, Lawrence had been bundled into a car. The gun and body were gone as were his shoes. The next morning, there would be a new pair of shoes, cream and pristine, sitting at the foot of his bed. They stayed there, untouched, until Lawrence outgrew them.
He was thirteen at a new school, all restless energy that danced under his skin because, for the first time in his life, he was allowed to play a sport. He chose football, of course, but the black and white ball came with strings he never anticipated. Fitness was never the problem, it was balancing practice with everything else. Which bruise came from cleats and which came from fists during sparring was never an easy distinction, but as he got better at the sport, he began to look more and more like a poster child for the American Child Services.
It was a lack of sleep that ultimately did him in, made him sloppy. Alvise pulled him aside one Sunday morning before the sun graced the tops of Verona’s rooftops and told him to choose, choose between the sport and his last name. It was presented as a choice freely given, but the look in Alvise’s eyes made it clear it was anything but.
Lawrence quit the football team the next day, despite thinking that if he just kept with it, he could have made the national team. Somewhere, in a shoebox in the back of a closet, are a barely-used pair of cleats.
He was sixteen, armored inside a jacket of patches and studs, the handmade messages stitched to the outside screaming his fury at the world. There was a funeral scheduled that afternoon and Lawrence wasn’t going to be able to make it. The jacket weighed heavy on his back as he cursed Verona and the Montague name for letting his friend, the only one not tied to his father’s world, die because of it anyway.
But Lawrence was needed elsewhere that afternoon, Alvise’s steady gaze still hanging heavy across his back though the man had left some time ago. That coffin was going to go into the ground and with it, the boy affectionately nicknamed “Ray” by the body in that coffin was going to be buried too. The patches that the two had spent so long on, the quiet acts of teenage rebellion and freedom would join the nickname, and Lawrence would once again become the son of Alvise.
No one among the Montague family was going to mourn the dead civilian from two weeks before. No one but Lawrence, and he screamed it from the rooftop. It was only when his throat ached and the fire inside him was less of an inferno that he left the roof and changed into a suit. Alvise needed him elsewhere, and he was never one to disappoint. Lawrence pretends he lost the jacket, even though he knows exactly which trunk it’s collecting dust in.
He was twenty-two when he took the role of captain, the final stepping stone before Alvise’s throne, it seemed. It struck him like a plank of wood across the face when he realized being a Vernon wasn’t enough. His soldiers would listen, and yes, they’d do what he’d ask, but they lacked the respect they gave his father. For the first time, he needed to be more than a Vernon and he rose to the challenge with relish.
He never learned to address them like his father, a man who had perfected the harsh bark that made every muscle in a body snap to immediate attention. That seemed to be a skill reserved exclusively for the man Lawrence knew he needed to become. He never perfected it, but he did learn how to get close enough to command respect and the focus of a room. Then the Vernon name dripped from those around him, praising him for how like his father he was. But that wasn’t enough anymore.
He was twenty-four when he left Verona, determined to outshine his father. It wasn’t enough to just be a Vernon, he had to be better than that. He doesn’t talk about that time with Veronans, the free laughter and the hours spent in a library, writing essays on things he only cared about because they were things to outdo his father. But even as Alvise hung like a ghost over his shoulder, he was still thousands of miles away. His weight that had hung over Lawrence was lifted, and it was only when it was gone he realized it had been there at all.
He would never say it, but his time out of Verona was possibly the happiest times he’d ever had.
He was twenty-eight when Lawrence got the phone call that his father was dead. He is twenty-eight still, but his hands still shake when he fires a gun. He is twenty-eight, and he sneers when someone on the national team fails to score a goal. He is twenty-eight, but anger towards the Montague family still overtakes him at times, clawing at his throat and heart, begging to be released. He is twenty-eight and he has still not learned how to deliver orders like Alvise. He is twenty-eight and despite it all, Lawrence Vernon is his father’s son. He carries a torch alongside his father’s name and even though he is not Alvise, he has never let him down and he has returned to Verona with a bag of clothes and the Vernon name. Wars have been fought with far less and Lawrence has been fighting every day of his life for his father. He just never thought he’d have to fight Verona.There was a time for goodness, but now is the time for success.

BLACANOVA: Warm and sunny dreamgaze from Seville
Blacanova are from Seville, Spain, and were created in 2006. Their music incorporates a wide range of genres, such as Shoegaze, Noise Pop, Dream Pop, Post Punk, Psychedelia or Post-Rock.
Their music is sometimes similar to Slowdive’s with a hint of My Bloody Valentine, but without the coldness or remoteness that you can find in the incumbents’ music. It is like listening to a warm Dreamgaze fire, sitting with old friends, a nice whisky (or cup of tea) in hand, comfortable. There is very little anguish or anxiety. I find their music leaves you at peace. It does not create more stress in your life, rather the contrary.
In this, Blacanova is a quite rare band, in genres where the music is more often than not a bit disturbing in its soundscape or arrangements. There is always warmth to be found in their music, maybe coming from mixing the soft female and male voices, always present in the forefront.
The only slightly grim part of their work are the LP and Ep’s covers. You can have a look on Bandcamp. you will see it is closer to Hans Ruedi Giger than to Eugène Gauguin.
I also love the way the use Spanish in their song and blends it so well with the music.
This, and their beautiful and talented music work, are the reason why I love Blacanova, possibly one of the more underrated Dreamgaze bands around.
Some history
In 2010, the band publishes its first LP with the label Foehn Records, titled homonymously Blacanova. Qualified as one of the most original and interesting proposals in the national independent scene by diverse prestigious written and digital publications (Rockdelux, Go Mag, Mondo Sonoro, La Vanguardia, Hypersonic, Playground, etc.), the LP is considered one of the best albums of the year in numerous lists of different media.
After several advance digital singles, Blacanova presents at the end of 2012 his second LP, "How do you see the world a horse? ", edited by the Barcelona label El Genio Wrong. With his second LP, he also receives excellent reviews and appears in numerous specialized lists, the sound of Blacanova is consolidated from two basic elements: some letters that play with the desolate, macabre and at the same time hilarious deformation of the everyday and a musical discourse based on vocal games, layers of reverb, distortion and rhythmic patterns that they oscillate between slow and melodic developments and outbursts of powerful intensity.
In the spring of 2015, the band released their third LP, "Devastated Regions." In this new installment, Blacanova repeats edition with The Wrong Genius and recording in the La Mina studios, by Raúl Pérez (McEnroe, Pony Bravo, Pumuky, etc.). The mastering is done by Doug Van Sloun in Focus Mastering (Omaha). The new LP is a step forward in the trajectory of the band and a different album in many aspects, betting on new and surprising arrangements (synthesizers, wind instruments and string) that share protagonism with the already characteristic guitars in compositions that are enriched with denser textures and worked. Dynamics and contrast are the basis of a disc where the game is important and not allowed borders when it comes to experimenting with sounds, structures and voices.
The band has also released songs with other international labels, such as Series Two Records (USA), Slanty Shanty (USA) or TBTCI Records (Brazil) and has appeared in compilations edited by media such as RockdeLux, Go Mag, etc.
Blacanova currently consists of:
Manuel Begines (bass guitar, keyboards),
Inés Olalla (vocals, keyboard)
Eduardo Escobar (drums),
Cristian Bohórquez (guitar, keyboards, programming),
Paco Arenas (guitar, keyboards, programming),
Armando Jiménez (vocals, melodica, xylophone).
When asked what their music is about, the band tells us:
Blacanova incorporates a wide range of genres, including shoegaze, noise pop, dream pop, post-punk, psychedelia and post-rock. Dark, dense, hypnotic are adjectives used sometimes to describe our work by the musical press.
Our musical discourse is based on vocal duets, multiple reverb layers, lots of feedback, distortion and intensity outbreaks. We really enjoy including new arrangements in our recordings (synthesizers, strings, winds, etc.) which share the spotlight with guitars and create both dense atmospheres and luminous textures.
We always tried dynamics and contrast were essential in our albums with no boundaries to experiment with sounds, structures and voices.
THEIR MUSICAL WORK
You can find Blacanova’s musical work on Bandcamp. To date, it consists of:
Infidelidades Múltiples en "Úrsula, 10 años por amigos", song, 2002
Monja, EP, June 2007
Perro, EP, June 2008
Madre, EP, March, 2009
Blacanova, LP, May 2010
Checoslovaquia, Single, April 2012
¿Cómo ve el mundo un caballo?, LP, September 2012
El Abrigo, single, July 2013
La Soga, single, February 2015
Regiones Devastadas, LP, March 2015
El Abismo, single, December 2017
Zoe, single, November 22, 2017
La Cabeza, LP, January 2018
The music work is so vast that it is difficult to present all the LP and EPs individually.
One thing is for sure: when you listen to their work in order, you can hear how it matures over the year. Like a good wine. It does not change recipe or style, but improve their song-writing and arrangements knowledge, getting slowly at ease of who they are and what their music is.
To continue the wine allegory, their music is a very nice young wine at the beginning, turning slowly in a “grand cru” as the years progress.
Here are a few songs (one song by EP or LP in chronological order) to discover their music. for more, all their work is on Bancamp.
THE INTERVIEW
The Band
Where are you from? Where are you living now?
Inés, Edu, Paco, Villa and Armando are from Seville (Spain); Cristian is from Ceuta. We are all living in Seville or very close to this city.
What did you study?
It's a kind of bizarre mix, which includes grades like Psychology, Journalism, Engineering and even the horrible Business Administration.
What is your day job at present if any?
Another bizarre mix. Sometimes interesting, sometimes boring.
Do you dream to live from your music or is it a passion you do not want to spend your full time on?
It's really complicated to live from our music. You know, I am afraid this is far from ‘mass media music’, at least not in Spain.
You have a great history. Could you tell us more?
When we started, we never thought that we could release four LPs and a number of EPs and singles. Our released music reflects our history, we think, specially our evolution and feelings through the years.
Could you tell me how the band meet and decided to do music together?
It started as a kind of goth/ dark wave joke between friends at the very beginning. Nevertheless, Monja (2007), our first EP, mixed all our shoegaze, dream pop and post-punk influences for the first time. Perhaps we got our own style with the first LP (Blacanova, 2010).
Can you tell me the inspiration behind your band? You can detect the influences of shoegaze and have a very unique sound. You took all these influences to make your own music, your own sound, which is not easy. Could you tell more?
A number of shoegaze, dream pop, post-punk and even post rock bands are an important influence in our music. However, we think we got our own sound working on some pedal effects, keyboard and guitar textures, irregular melodic structures and vocal arrangements. Bass and drums were always clear and forceful. Furthermore, lyrics are important in our songs.
Was there a vision of sorts or did you know what you wanted to do when you started up
We were Shoegaze and post-punk music fans, so we knew what we wanted when we started up. However, we always tried not to do just ‘genre music’, but looked for an own identity.
Do you have any other musical side projects apart from this band?
Yes, we do. In fact, we are now focused on these projects. We are very proud of ‘La Cabeza’ (2018), Blacanova’s last LP, and we really enjoyed working on these songs. However, after the release of this album on January, Blacanova went on a hiatus and we are working on our side projects. Cristian, Inés and Paco are members of Martes Niebla and released their debut EP last April. They are going to record their first LP over 2019. Cristian is also making music with Escuelas Pías (they released their second LP on November). Villa, Edu and Paco are recording their new songs as Beladrone these days and they hope to release their first album this year too. Finally, Edu is also playing with Ultra Lutra. So, we really don’t stop making music at all.
Could you tell me more on the band composition?
Regardless of the demo’s origin, we always worked together with our songs.
Can you tell us more how you came to have the band’s name?
The band was named after Olga Baclanova, the leading actress in Freaks (Tod Browning, 1932), though her surname was changed slightly for phonetic reasons.
The Creative process
Who writes the song and the music and how do you get to the final song? Is it a community process, do you have leaders in composing or arranging music?
It has always been a collaborative process. We never believed in composing / spiritual leaders for Blacanova. It always sounded quite ridiculous between us ;)
Do you listen to the advice of your band mates? What would you do if they said a song was shit but you liked it?
We have always tried to work with the songs in order to get the band’s general approval. And most of the times we got this, probably because we have a shared idea of the Blacanova’s own sound.
There’s a degree of unconventional songwriting with you guys. Was it kind of intimidating going to record knowing people might not be engaging with the songs in terms of hooks and such and trying to deliver an engaging sound on record?
We have tried to be honest with our likes and dislikes. There is no sense in making music you don't believe in, even if some (or a lot of) people are not easily engaged with your songs. However, we never thought our songs were complicated or not easy to hear and enjoy. Perhaps it's just a question of time and relax. We always recommend not to do many things while you listen to our music. Just listen to it and enjoy it when you are not in a hurry.
Talking about the lyrics: who write them? Is there a common thread in them, a theme?
Most lyrics are written by our two singers: Inés and Armando.
Do you have a message that you want to get across in your music? If so, what are some of the messages you want to spread?
Our lyrics tend to be quite disconcerting and play with the distressing and hilarious distortion of everyday reality. There are many literary and cinematographic references in them too.
Did your listening habits changed over the years and does it affect what you write?
Probably they did. We have always tried to be aware of new bands and new sounds.
How is your recognition going worldwide? Is it growing? Are you happy with it?
We think our music has been well respected by Spanish music critics. Of course we are very far from being a massive band. Even some people say we are a kind of cult band or something weird in Spanish music.
We had the chance of recording and playing all these songs over more than 10 years. We also had people supporting us from different countries. So, it has been very nice and great for us. For a band like us it was really amazing to send some vinyl records from Seville to Shoegaze fans in countries as Indonesia, Chile, Poland, USA or France.
The path to music
Is it easy to find producers and studios where you lived for indie-rock? Your recorded sound is very good, which is not easy. Did you engineer the sound yourself, or did you have a sound engineer with you? If yes could you tell us more about him/her?
It is not easy to find top studios here, but we were very lucky with Raúl Pérez and his studio ('La Mina’). He is one of the best indie producers and sound engineers in Spain and we worked together from our very beginning. Raúl coproduced all Blacanova's songs with the band. We know each other very well so it was very easy to work together all these years. Probably Blacanova's songs are not easy to mix given the high number of tracks and sound layers we include in each song, but Raúl makes it easier.
Was it a community work to try to have the best sounding music possible or mainly driven by the sound engineer or by the band?
Always a community work. We were quite obsessive with some arrangements, textures and sounds. Raúl is a patient man ;)
Can you tell us how the recording process was?
Our recording process has always implied a hard pre-production work. We start with some demo songs, but, before going into the studio, we try to record all the keyboards and programming. After that, we usually record all the songs live, to get the rhythm and bass elements. Afterwards, we introduce the other elements. Mixing is one of the most important parts for us, as we also take it as a creative process, using ambient and modulations as very powerful tools.
How did the recording work differ over time?
Every time we record new songs, we are different people with new abilities, knowledge and new musical influences, so there is always an evolution, even in our tastes. As we always work with the same producer, he also bring new elements every time.
Is the recording material yours when you are out of a studio or do you borrow/rent it?
All the instruments are ours, but we use a lot of studio gear that belongs to the producer.
Did getting the live experience across on record create any pressure for yourselves in the recording process?
We think on how we would like the songs to be, so that is how we record them. After that we adapt them for the live performance.
Instruments: are you mainly a Fender band? Could you tell me what inspire you to use fenders rather than other brands?
Yes, all our current guitars are Fender. We use Jazzmaster, Stratocaster and Mustang bass guitars. We have sometimes been into other brands, but we love Fender, mainly Jazzmasters, because of their clean and bassy tone.
Do you have one favorite instrument or do you change often?
We usually stick to one instrument. We have sometimes changed, from guitar to synths, for example, but not very often.
Tell us what you are looking when trying to achieve your sounds? Do you experiment a lot or have a clear idea of what you want?
Sometimes we are looking for a sound we have in mind, other times for any specific one we have heard in a song. We have been experimenting all the time, mostly with guitar effects, and we can say that every record we have made sounds different in that way.
Who is the more knowledgeable with pedals? You use them a lot, to great effect.
We use pedals for guitars, so the guitar players (Cristian and Paco) are the ones who know more about them.
How many concerts a year would you do on average and what would be the size of the venue?
Depending on the year, when we released our second album, we did more than 20 concerts. That is the average when we release new material. We usually play in small venues, with an average capacity of 200 people, more or less. We really enjoy that kind of ven0ues.

Powerpuff Girls 2016 - “Total Eclipse of the Kart”
Written by: Haley Mancini, Jake Goldman
Written & Storyboarded by: Kyle Neswald, Jaydeep Hasrajani, Leticia Abreu Silva, John Martinez
Directed by: Nick Jennings, Bob Boyle
Needs a pit stop. Or three.
The episode begins with the Mayor announcing the beginning of the Annual Townsville Eclipse Grand Prix. Whoever can get through the Cursed Canyon, Rampage Ridge, and ominous stone spires, again, the Mayor happens to know they're ominous but doesn't seem to care, gets a box he happened to dig up while excavating his new hot tub. Probably a step down from the key to the city.
Let’s meet our contestants, as it’s pretty much a who’s-who of the reboot's rogue's gallery. It seems like whenever Townsville has contests of any sort, the only constestants seem to be either criminals or the Powerpuff Girls, and this Grand Prix appears to be no different at first. Despite that nobody really knows what's inside, everyone seems to know it must be something really good!
Princess Morbucks: She wants the box because it's the only thing in Townsville she doesn't have! Princess is by far the most used villain in the entire show, which probably has something to do with being voiced by one of the head writers.
Man-Boy: He wants the box because it's manly! I would say more, but that pretty much sums him up. He's a man man man man man man. Man. Man.
Pack Rat: Speaking of one-note characters, this villain wants the box because it's shiiiny! This villain didn’t even make a single appearance in Season 2, even though his last episode involved him holding a super-cast with ominous music playing in the background. He’s very fitting here, especially due to that Rat Fink-like mini-monster truck he has.
The Fashionistas: They want the box because, to quote them, "ha ha ha ha ha". Yeah, they kind of just gave up after Pack Rat. They didn't even bother saying how fashionable the box was.
Unpictured, but surely just as important, is Jemmica, who makes a generic quip that there's no way she can't have that box. Also unpictured is Him, but that's because he decided not to show up in this episode at all. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention those unforgettable group of misfits...
...those four random cars on the left side of this shot, and no other shot in the entire episode! Finally, some proof that not everyone that participates in Townsville's events is a criminal aside from lovable superheroes.
Sadly, we didn't get those. Instead, the Reboot Puffs join in this race, too, knowing that there must be something sinister in that box to justify all of these villains showing up for it. If you're expecting any explanation to how 6 year olds can participate in something involving driving a car, that's because this is supposed to be a go-kart race. We know this, even though every car in this looks like a real car, because that's what the title says. I don't believe anything in the episode itself indicates this.
He did have some restraint, though. Right from the beginning, Buttercup wants to drive the car, but the Professor, seen via holographic projection, tells her she's too aggressive. The Mayor starts the race, and we see a few more of the rogue's gallery show up beyond who I've already talked about, including a set of returning villains who I'm sure were very welcomed to be in the reboot.
Yes, Fuzzy Lumpkins and his trustworthy banjo! He’s in what looks like a lawnmower. It is a way to keep your proper-tay clean! Sadly, we don't even get a line from Fuzzy, not even one of his famous ones. He gets immediately flattened, Wile E Coyote style, by Manboy running on a giant, manly log. In fact, I don't believe Fuzzy said a line in this entire reboot that didn't involve him cross-dressing.
Manboy does get a bit of just desserts for that, as he gets interrupted by the Gnat badly singing Ride of the Valkyries. This guy is essentially the replacement for the Ameoba Boys, except he's more of a troll than incompetent. Honestly, the more he appears, the more I'm ashamed that I ever said he was cool. The Gnat flings an overgrown termite at his log, which eats it and burps. It takes quite a bit for this joke to finish, no shock here.
Having seen this carnage, Blossom and Buttercup argue about whether destroying the other contestant's cars is awesome or not. Buttercup is of the former opinion, of course; it's that aggression the Professor keeps talking about. Bubbles wants to stop this argument by playing some hot tunes! She reaches into her dashboard and presses a bunch of buttons.
This leads to one of the running gags with the first half of the episode: a Reboot Puff randomly pushing buttons in the most ridiculous ways imaginable. All she’s doing is turning on the radio, and at no point does she accidentally fire missiles at someone.
With the help of that running gag, she manages to successfully play some music. After a few seconds of the music, they stop arguing and start singing along with it. Why wouldn’t they, it’s a parody of “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston, except it’s “I Wanna Have Lunch With Somebody”. The joke is that it involves food.
Discount Jojo, having been left in the dust, reveals that he's the Dick Dastardly of this race. He brought his own invention: the Deceleray, a ray gun that causes anything it hits to slow down to a crawl, and aims it right for the Reboot Puffs.
He even takes the time to tell the viewers that it's solar powered, or "solar power" as they didn't account for the CN logo covering half the text up. This seems like a completely random joke, and the sun that pops up to say "yeah, that's me" seems to hint at that, but this actually becomes important later. Misdirection, or just plain silliness? You decide!
The Powerpuff Girls are too busy listening to the song to notice that a ray is being fired right at them, which is a far better excuse than most of the "the Powerpuff Girls just sit still and take the punishment" scenes. As soon as they're hit by the ray, the car slows down slower than a tortoise that happened to be passing by.
It doesn't seem to slow down the Powerpuff Girls themselves, because the plot wouldn't work if it did, and they wonder why their song is now a vaporwave remix. Okay, Buttercup just calls it a "remix", but I couldn't resist. Discount Jojo then throws a giant spiked bomb right in front of them. I would have tried aiming right for the really, really slow moving targets, but again, that would have ruined the plot.
Buttercup unbuckles herself, and jumps into Blossom's cockpit for another wacky button pressing scene. Unlike the last scene, this does cause warning bells to go off, and she accuses Blossom of doing something wrong. Bubbles was just lucky, apparently.
Buttercup manages to press a button that splits the car into three different vehicles, each with their own name. You know how utterly blatant this scene is? They even have a song that says "cool toys, cool toys", and it ends with a random stock photo of a bunch of kids jumping in the air. They might as well have cut to a fake commercial of a bunch of kids playing with action figures, but that might have been too self-aware.
But wait, if the slow ray hit the entire car, even affecting Professor Utonium and the car's radio, shouldn't these vehicles also be slowed down? At least they explain why the Professor is now okay with Buttercup driving: he knew that Buttercup would rebel against him, and planned accordingly. That's actually a good Professor moment; using the knowledge of his children in his planning.
Now that they’re all split up, does this mean we have to see Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup start competing against each other? Bubbles decides to take a shortcut away from the entire race, basically taking her out of the episode. We do get to cut back to what she’s doing while Blossom and Buttercup are dealing with the rest of the villains, including a few surprise cameo appearances.
The very first of these cameos happens to be Donny the Hellhorn. I would complain, but he's reintroduced by us by Bubbles accidently running him over. Sadly, he survives, but the good news is that this episode is going to make his bad luck a running gag. It's almost like they know he's one of the most hated characters in the show, and this is their way of acknowledging that. I'm not a fan of unnecessary cruelty, even in the original, but it's Donny, so I would say it is necessary.
They get out of the Cursed Canyon, we never find out why it’s “cursed”, and the surviving racers go into the Rampage Ridge. Most of the race portion after this can be summed up with “Buttercup takes out most of the other racers with various traps.” Pack Rat gets distracted by shiny spike traps, The Fashionistas get oil slicked, and the unseen-in-this-episode-until-now Pug-Faced Paulie and his gang get distracted by a dog bone. Each of these ends with our villains falling off a cliff, and their car exploding.
Don’t worry, Buttercup is not intentionally killing all of these villains: she’s just pressing random buttons just to get the turbo buttons to work. I guess I can give them some creativity points for not just reusing the same wacky animation for every one of these scenes in this running gag, but all I can really think about is which one of these is the worst. I'm going with that Bubbles one in the beginning. Those eyes, ugh.
Blossom never gets the same treatment, most likely because an off-model button punching gag would be out of character for her. In fact, she barely gets to do anything other than drive and bicker with Buttercup. Oh yeah, Blossom ends up competing against Buttercup after they all split up, but nothing really comes of it.
After the Ridge, which was definitely reckless thanks to Buttercup, the final stretch leaves the two remaining Reboot Puffs, Discount Jojo, the Gnat, Princess, and Jemmica. The Gnat and Princess essentially go out just like the rest of the villains, with the Gnat splatting on Princess's windshield, and Princess gets taken out by her car running out of gas. One of the posse members exclaims that at least the car didn't explode, and then the car explodes. Wah, wah, waaah.
The episode isn't even halfway over, and the race appears to be nearly over. Clearly, something must be going on with that box. I honestly thought they were going to stretch this wacky race into a whole half hour, but they decide to take it in a completely different direction. Probably for the best.
While the Powerpuff Girls are still bickering on who's going to win, even Blossom forgetting that she wanted to win together with Buttercup, Discount Jojo swats them away, taking them out of the race. In a shocking turn of events, Jemmica uses a jar full of snakes to distract Discount Jojo, taking the lead. Well, so much for her being a female Indiana Jones. She manages to win, much to everyone's surprise! So what was in that all-important box?
A stick. No, really, a stick. I think even a pickle, which a lot of people expected, would have been at least something that tied into the Mayor’s character. However, Jemmica seems to know that it’s a little more than a stick, as she talks about how she’s been waiting for this moment for centuries. How amazing that Jemmica manages to win an item that was specifically for her and her alone.
Suddenly, Jemmica uses the stick, combined with an orb she happened to bring with her, and turns it into a staff. This staff turns her into Cleopatra Thanos! Okay, her real name is Jemoire, and the Professor is about to reveal everything he knows about her, with Jemoire giving some visuals using her Stick of Omens.
To make a long story short, an ancestor to the Mayor banished Jemoire, took her powers, and turned her into Jemmica. She walked the Earth, her immortal body never aging past elementary school age, as various people across time, though we only ever see her in a Greek outfit and a knight outfit before leading to the outfit we knew and, um, loved? I like how this gives a little bit of worldbuilding about Townsville, but there was something that bothered me about this.
This is not possession by an evil item, nor, as I implied before, is this some sort of Him plot. Jemmica was really this demon goddess this entire time. We should have known from all the clues they subtly put into her past episodes, like that one thing! And that other thing! And...actually I have no idea.
No, really, I have no reason to believe this was their intended purpose for this character when they were writing Frenemy or even The Buttercup Job. Well, there may be one thing: she did seem to have a knack for items that would fit a demonic sorceress than an Indiana Jones style adventurer, such as those BFF necklaces from Frenemy and the Doom Cube from The Buttercup Job. But really, this just comes out of nowhere. It's as if they couldn’t think of any more ideas for this character, so they decided to write her off in a way that attempts to make this reboot seem more “twisty” than it is.
Jemoire's first step is to take over Townsville just like she did in the ancient days. The Mayor shows up to tell her that she must be democratically elected in order to take over Townsville, and Jemoire decides to give her rebuttal: by turning the Mayor into sand. Hmm, just like that certain movie that was probably not out when this episode was in production.
Buttercup tries to give her something involving an aura power, but not even the aura powers can stop her! She even tears them apart just by slamming that magic stick again. I would wonder why she couldn’t just use that staff to turn Buttercup into sand too, but plot. All nitpicking aside, I wanted to see those aura powers torn apart at some point to show that they're not an invincible barrier, and this is one way to do it.
Blossom tries to attack, only for her to get knocked into a bunch of rocks. Well, that shouldn't be too bad, the Powerpuff Girls often went through walls in their fights. It's not like they're going to have an extended scene where Buttercup picks up Blossom's seemingly lifeless body from the rubble and cries that she could have saved her, and that it's all her fault.
Sure enough, we get an extended scene where Buttercup picks up Blossom’s seemingly lifeless body from the rubble and cries that she could have saved her, and that it’s all her fault. Yeah, I really believe that these superheroes, who can lift buildings full of people, could really die from getting knocked into a bunch of rocks. Sadly, I really do; if they can get their bones broken from getting tail whipped into a wall, this isn't too far off!
They’re trying to do this emotional moment, but they apparently have no time for that. Out of nowhere, Buttercup wonders where Bubbles is.
We smash cut to a happy scene where Bubbles manages to get Poseidon to join her Party Cat Car! Remember Poseidon's appearance in The Buttercup Job? A previous scene also gave them a bear, who just swims off after Poseidon joins. One can assume he joined a polar bear and a panda and made a far better cartoon.
Oh yeah, bonus points for the implication that Donny was holding his breath for an exorbitantly long period of time. While no Donny would have been better than any Donny, a Donny in constant pain is something I can definitely appreciate.
Cutting back to the now far less dramatic scene, thanks Bubbles, of course Blossom didn’t get killed by a bunch of rocks falling on her. She doesn’t even get a broken arm! Bubbles must be that weak. Buttercup confirms that she learned absolutely nothing as Buttercup starts bickering with Blossom again. With Bubbles still partying with the fake Whitney Houston song, who could stop them from getting into another fight?
Discount Jojo, of course. Actually, I joke about calling him Discount Jojo because his character is often a downgrade from what I remember from the original, but this is one of his better appearances. Discount Jojo ends up teaming up with the Powerpuff Girls because he had dibs on taking over Townsville, and this "Jem-Moo-Moo" lady is getting in the way. It's a case of Forced Kin, and that's not a complaint at all.
We do get a scene where they plan a huge strategy against them with tiny little rocks. I think they could have thrown a joke or two in here, but I guess having a piece of cactus represent Jojo was good enough.
Jemoire summons a bunch of rock minions, and the Powerpuff Girls end up being in a big fight scene against them. I honestly don't have a lot of bad things to say about this scene. One can tell this is one of those scenes where they put a little more money into it than usual. There’s even a nice use of CGI, which I thought was a little beyond this show’s budget! It helps that, since these minions are made of rock, they have no problem showing the Powerpuff Girls punching their arms, legs, and heads off with no hit flashes whatsoever. That's an anomaly in this reboot; sometimes you can't even show a soccer ball getting kicked!
This was all going to end with Discount Jojo firing his Deceleray at Jemoire. Unfortunately, due to all the clouds and the solar eclipse, he only has one shot. Even worse, the episode still has quite a few minutes to go before it ends, and they sure weren't going to end this with a four minute dance party to that fake Whitney Houston song!
One of the rock minions is a giant robot, and Discount Jojo decides that this was too scary for him to keep aiming at the sorceress. He decides to press a giant bail button to launch himself out of his car, causing the car to drop the Deceleray. The Deceleray then shoots its only shot at a random bird. I said it was one of his better appearances; I did not say it was a good appearance.
Then again, maybe he had a reason to be scared, as the Reboot Puffs struggle to face off against it, too. Can anyone stop them, especially if it ends up to a payoff to a not-that-great running joke that ruined a previous scene?
In comes the party train! Choo choo! Somehow, they fly from the sky and ram right into the giant rock monster that Jojo was so terrified by. The robot even pukes out of its eyes, or at least that's the first thought that popped into my mind when I watched it.
But, predictably, beating up a bunch of minions doesn't mean anything. As the previous season has shown, they can have scenes where some random nobodies, and immediately lead to the Monster Punch Girls Down as soon as anything potentially story-changing could happen.
We got Poseidon, the Greek god of the seas and apparently a really good actor! With all of his might, he offers Jemoire some of his world-famous undersea creamed corn! That was a running gag with him in this episode. I don't believe you can grow corn under the sea, but I guess you can't prove Poseidon can't!
Needless to say, Jemoire does not accept the offer, and manages to take him down with a lightning strike from a storm she summoned earlier in the scene. I wouldn't take this victory against a god too far; electric is super effective against water.
I don’t even need to have a screenshot of Donny doing whatever he was going to do, because it’s a foregone conclusion that he can’t do much against this, either. The only time he’s ever in direct combat in the series was to run into a control board in a drunken-esque stupor.
They sure let this electrocution joke go for a long time, and this is something I usually complain about. However, considering how bad two of his previous episodes were, and the fact that the third episode was only okay despite him, this is a well deserved punishment for the Hell-Horn. He doesn't even deserve a consistent spelling of that.
Finally, we get the Reboot Puffs, given a job that would be easier for them than the corn salesman and the Worst Friend Forever. They could fly in and punch that sorceress right in the face while she's busy electrocuting those two.
Or, they can just get electrocuted, too. Funny how they don’t give anyone else any silly faces, but they’re not afraid to do this to our beloved classic characters. I will say that there is some comedic timing with this; the lightning strikes come up just as soon as they fly up. It's a rare good use of timing in this reboot, but way to make your super powerful characters that should inspire all those mothers and daughters look weaker than a wimpy unicorn.
All hope appears to be lost. Discount Jojo’s still around, but the Deceleray can’t get any power because of all the clouds and the moon covering up the sun. See, take that, you solar power loving hippies! Jojo clearly should have used something bad for the environment!
Discount Jojo tries to do something else, but he gets twisted up by Jemoire's magic. Thankfully for everyone else, she decides to keep all of her attention on Discount Jojo to do this one thing. Lightning spells and/or spells to keep everyone else paralyzed are apparently far less taxing than telekinesis. Unfortunately for Jemoire, it was about time for the solar eclipse to end, causing the sun to shine on the Deceleray again. The Powerpuff Girls get the Deceleray, and zap her until she’s completely stationary. What happened to Donny and Poseidon? I don't know.
We cut to The Mayor finishing the story about how he managed to come back from being turned into sand, which is sadly one of the more clever bits of the reboot. We also find out that everyone managed to survive their explosions, as we get a shot of all the villains that participated…except for Fuzzy and a few other characters. This is pretty much proof that they didn’t put a lot of thought in the classic villains’ appearance in this earlier in the episode.
Discount Jojo shows up to attempt to take over Townsville now that Jemoire is nowhere to be seen, but considering he still has injuries from being bent out of shape, his low chances of actually taking over Townsville are even lower here. The Reboot Puffs don’t even have to punch him; he just falls over just by himself. Again, this is something I could see the real Mojo doing. The trying to take over Townsville after getting injured part, not the falling over. The episode ends with the Powerpuff Girls going out for ice cream. No, that isn't my usual "eat ice cream" gag, that's actually what they did.
And right after that quip, we see Jemoire still making the same stance she had when she was frozen by the Deceleray, as ominous music plays and the shot slowly fades out. We still have a half a season left before we can assume this is yet another cliffhanger that will never be resolved.
Does the title fit?
An eclipse does factor into the plot. As mentioned before, they never really call it a "go-kart race" or anything of the sort; all of the vehicles seem like regular cars or just weird gimmicky stuff like that log.
How does it stack up?
The first half of the episode is a pretty mediocre Wacky Races parody. It's cool to see all the villains together, and unlike the last time this has happened in Tiara Trouble, you at least get to see some personality beyond "let's just put them in a dress!"
The episode gets a lot better once we get into the second part of the episode, though I'm still not convinced the twist wasn't something pulled out of thin air. However, there were some good ideas here, and the fight scene against the rock minions is surprisingly good by reboot standards. All in all, it's an upper-tier Neutral that still shows some potential.
Next, we take the long skate home. Take the long skate home.

Alright, fine, I'll talk about that cameo that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and didn't need to happen.
Almost as soon as the race begins, the Powerpuff Girls notice these three boys that look so much like them. They recognize them as the Rowdyruff Boys, as they say their names in unison. These boys were incredibly popular villains in the original, but they haven't made a single appearance in the reboot beyond false rumors of them returning with Vine superstars voicing them.
They had fansites, and even to this day, there’s tons of fanfiction and fanart depicting them as being lovey-dovey with the Powerpuff Girls. So how does the reboot reintroduce these beloved characters from the original? Clearly, they must have put some thought into that; look at those cute little helmets they gave them! It would be perfect for more cool toys! Cool beans!
Well, as soon as the Reboot Puffs say their name, the Reboot Ruff's kart immediately gets rocketed and we never see them again. They don't even get a line, it's just rocket boom, boys down, womp womp. To be honest, considering this reboot's general track record with characters returning from the original, I am a little relieved that this is their only appearance in the reboot.
Their appearance was completely inconsequential to the plot, and would only lead to confusion to people who are not familiar with them. In fact, I question why they even bothered to include them. Sure, this is a battle royale with a bunch of villains from previous episodes, but it's not like they included absolutely everyone. Is it a tribute? Is it a jab? Or maybe this is just a tease for a future appearance by them in Season 4. Ha, ha, ha.

C:R ~VE~ Chapter 14
Finis is waiting for us, seated with his legs crossed. When he sees our group enter, he laughs.
“So the carnival of misfits increases! If I had known this tea party would have such a group, I would have requested a larger table.”
I’m surprised that the drawing room has already been set up with an intimate round table and chairs. The white tablecloth has been set with fine china covered in delicate floral patterns. The most spectacular part, likely for Finis, at least, is a three-tiered carousel of macarons sitting in the middle of the table.
“Finis, how did you know...?” asks Cardia.
Finis rests his hand on his cheek with a sigh. “I heard that lunatic shrieking like a madman on the beach and got curious, so I watched the proceedings from afar.”
He darts his eyes over to Nemo.
“And then I saw you had somehow changed. I figured there would be a request for teatime shortly after.” He plucks up a macaron and holds it delicately in-between his fingers. “Tell me, Nemo. Have you finally decided to stop playing your game?” He squeezes the macaron in-between his fingers, its jam innards being forced out under the pressure.
“Hmmm~” Nemo’s voice takes on his sing-song lilt, but soon it turns serious once more. “Now is no time for games, Finis.”
“Man, it weirds me out when he talks like that,” Barbicane mutters to Cardia. “And I thought I’d never get used to his screeching!”
Nemo peers at Barbicane over his shoulder and gives a self-deprecating smile, “I don’t like this any more than you do.” He looks at the table that has been set out and walks around, pulling out a seat for Aouda.
As she sits down and he pushes her chair in, he murmurs: “If it were up to me... none of you would have to hear me like this.” He closes his eyes and looks away from the group. “It hurts so much...”
Finis and Cardia. Aouda and Fogg. Impey, myself, and... ‘Nemo’... we’re all seated around the table, so close together that our knees are touching.
“You don’t have to do this,” I say as Nemo begins pouring the tea. “You can stop and we can go back. None of us will ask questions, and...”
Nemo gently holds a finger to his lips to silence me.
“Have you really not discussed what happened with your friends?” Aouda narrows her eyes. “It’s been so long. If only I had found out that you were alive sooner--”
Nemo turns to Aouda and makes the same signal, requesting silence. He takes a deep breath and takes off his broken goggles, placing them on the table in front of him.
He looks so sad. What I wouldn’t give in that moment to take his pain from him and put it on my own heart!
He looks at all of us through half-lidded eyes, but despite his solemn figure he is fidgeting with his goggles, twisting and untwisting the screws with his metal fingernails.
“The prince is dead,” he whispers. “For me to begin, I need all of you to understand this. The... person... I once was... is no more. He died with his family.”
Aouda looks like she wants to say something, but Fogg takes her hand and gently kisses it before whispering: “Save your thoughts for after we’ve heard everything.”
Nemo nods in gratitude.
“I suppose it’s best to begin with my name,” he says. He shakes his head with a light laugh. “It feels so strange to say it like this, after all this time. No frivolities. No theatrics. Just... my name.”
He falls silent for a long time, staring at the goggles he’s begun taking apart.
Then, in perfect English: “My name is Dakkar.”
He pauses, letting the silence fill the room again.
“Nothing shattered... nothing changed...” Nemo smiles. “I’m still me, aren’t I~?”
“Nemo...” I whisper.
He hums, satisfied, and takes a sip of tea. It’s nice to see him smile again, even if it is a nervous one.
“Queen Victoria was right about one thing. I... was a prince, once,” he continues.
Barbicane begins to choke on his macaron, and Cardia pats his back until he can breathe again.
Nemo quickly Barbicane another cup of tea and pushing it towards him. “Here, it should make breathing easier.”
Wheezing, Barbicane downs the entire cup in one gulp before looking at Nemo.
“Are you-- you said... are you serious?”
Nemo doesn’t respond, instead choosing to go back to tinkering with his goggles. He fiddles in one of his pockets before pulling out a tiny screwdriver and beginning to work.
“I was the son of the Raja of Bundelkhand, a mountainous area in central India,” he states flatly.
My eyes widen with realization.
“The colonization of that country. That’s why Victoria felt threatened... you’re Indian royalty...”
“Was,” Nemo corrects me. “When Britain came, I was stripped of my title. But... that all seems so insignificant... I’d give up any title, just to...”
Nemo clenches his fists and grits his teeth, letting a wave of anguish pass over him. When it begins to subside, he takes a deep breath and looks at Aouda.
Aouda slowly nods at him.
“I...” Nemo swallows, his voice quiet and pathetic before he speaks up. “I was sixteen when I met my fiancee. I...” he grips his goggles in his hands. “I....!”
Aouda reaches out and takes his hand before speaking: “Their love was like nothing I had ever seen. To say that their betrothal was anything but providence would be disrespectful to her memory. How I envied my dear cousin, to have found such a love!”
Nemo is sobbing into his free hand, overcome with the memory of his beloved. The other one is clinging to Aouda across the table like he will spiral into insanity if he lets go.
And here I am, my insides tightening in my own anguish. Sympathy of course, but tinted jade with a selfish jealousy! I feel sick to my stomach when I realize this.
What a disgusting person I am, to feel any hint of jealousy when he’s clearly being torn apart by grief!
But this isn’t about me, not in the least. Right now I have to listen to what Nemo is saying. No matter what, I’ll be there for him. No matter how I feel, it’s nothing compared to the pain he’s experiencing.
No one is saying anything, the only sound in the room is Nemo’s pained sobs. Even Finis, who usually looks so sour, is staring down at his tea cup with a conflicted expression.
When Nemo calms down, he lets go of Aouda’s hand and sits back up. “The most beautiful moment of my life was when I saw my wife holding our newborn children. Twins... two little boys, with hair and eyes as dark as their mother’s.”
He inhales sharply.
“Even the Nautilus, what most people would consider to be my grandest creation, is nothing compared to the family she and I made...”
He closes his eyes, a nostalgic smile on his face.
Barbicane looks lost, like he can’t believe the story he’s hearing. On the one hand, Nemo’s anguish is real, but to look at the man we know and see a father and husband... it’s almost impossible.
The Nemo we know and ‘Dakkar’... the difference between them is great, but when he smiled in memory of his family, I could see it. I could see that same joy there. He must have loved them with as much passion as he now loves science.
“What a horrible story...” Cardia whispers.
Nemo nods. “Britain took away everything I love... all that was left for me was the glow of science. I couldn’t stop it from harming my family... I guess I, I guess I just wanted to see how it happened. What could create something like that? I had studied the sciences before, of course, but nothing like this. I was... curious, no... obsessed. The day my family-- not just my wife and children, but my mother, my father, my little sisters-- the day they were killed, I wanted to die beside them.”
Nemo returns to fidgeting with his goggles, sniffing. “So I did. Prince Dakkar is buried back in India with his family, and all that remains... is ‘nobody’. ‘Nobody’-- Nemo-- a great wielder of science.”
“You’re wrong,” Aouda speaks up, unable to contain her words any longer. “Prince Dakkar is not dead! Dakkar... whatever you’re calling yourself now, you’re still my family! You’re still the most important person that was in my cousin’s life! You have to take the opportunity that you were given and LIVE. Live for them, if not for yourself!”
Nemo doesn’t respond to Aouda for a moment, his tongue stuck out to the side in deep thought. To someone who doesn’t know him, he would look simply distracted. I know better, though. I see how his hands are shaking. He needs time to compose himself.
“Live...?” Nemo continues, his voice trembling. “I left India to do just that. I went to Britain and studied everything I could get my hands on. When I was invited to the Royal Society... I thought, maybe this could be my new family.”
He drops his goggles and puts his face in his hands again. “But there.... I was rejected! I don’t understand it! I made results, so why...”
Finis takes another macaron.
“If I remember correctly, the Royal Society wasn’t too happy about the lengths you were going to in order to get your results. The effects of gravity on man, how much pressure a body could take, all sorts of tests... they were all performed on people, weren’t they?” Finis finally lets his smile stretch out across his face again.
I put my hand to my mouth. Human bodies weren’t supposed to fly high in the air or descend to great depths. For him to test the limits of what a human could take... it’s horrific.
Nemo sighs. “Yes. Yes, those tests were performed on people. It got me the fastest and the most accurate results. I still don’t understand the Royal Society’s reasoning.”
“Dakkar, listen to yourself. You’re saying you don’t understand why they were against using innocent people?” Aouda shakes her head, a look of disgust on her face.
Nemo tilts his head to look at Aouda and speaks slowly.
“What is the difference... between the innocents I experimented on.... and the innocents that Great Britain destroyed in the name of colonization...?”
Aouda closes her mouth.
“What gives Great Britain the right to practice such hypocrisy...?”
Nemo grips his goggles with such force that I can hear the remaining pieces of lens begin to crack.
“You’re right!”
I’m surprised that it’s Barbicane that speaks up.
“You’re right, Nemo...” he repeats. “Science is supposed to be the hope and heart of the world.”
He closes his eyes. “I wish... I just wish your first glimpse could have been from something like what the old man showed me. Something full of dreams.”
Nemo smiles wryly.
“Impey Barbicane... you’re so naive,” he sighs. “Do you really think that something as simple as that could have stopped all this from happening? Do you think that, maybe, if I had met your old man instead of Isaac-sensei, maybe my bitterness would have lessened after all this time? Do you think, maybe...”
He grits his teeth before shouting, his voice reaching its usual crescendo. “Do you think if someone had extended a hand to me in friendship, that perhaps I could have forgiven the world for what it’s done to me?!”
Tears begin streaming down his face again.
“Do you think it would have been that easy, Impey Barbicaaaaaaaaaane?!”
Barbicane doesn’t back down, however. Instead, he stands up and looks at Nemo seriously.
“Nemo... if you were truly beyond all hope, would you be here right now?” Barbicane rubs the back of his head. “I mean... it’s embarrassing to say, really, but... you’re one of my best friends.”
Nemo’s face flushes.
“You helped Fran-chan and I design that submersible for Queen Victoria so that I could get funding to someday go to the moon. You told us hundreds of times that we couldn’t have done it without you. Maybe I should have told you more often... that you were right. And now, there’s this amazing submarine that we’re working on! This submarine doesn’t have the power to sink fleets or destroy cities.” Barbicane shrugs. “If you had truly let bitterness gobble you up, then you wouldn’t be here with us, right? You wouldn’t be having tea with Finis and Cardia-chan. You wouldn’t have dropped your cannon when you saw Aouda-chan and Philly-chan. (”Philly-chan...?”) Even back then, you wouldn’t have saved everyone on the Nautilus. You wouldn’t--”
Barbicane looks in my direction. I quickly avert my gaze.
“You wouldn’t have excitedly spoken with Polly-chan and me about science. Nemo... you have every reason to hate people, but you don’t. Instead of swearing vengeance, you swore to dedicate yourself to science! Come on, chin up! I’m not asking you to forgive and forget or anything like that, just... share your troubles with us from time to time, okay? Talk to us. That’s what friends are for, you know?”
Nemo is trembling.
“I....”
He closes his eyes.
“Since then, I... always felt so... cold... like nothing in the world could possibly make me feel happy.... but, Impey Barbicane... Finis... Cardia-chan...”
More of his tears wet the tablecloth.
“I think... you all really did save me up there... and now...”
He looks over at Aouda, the last remaining member of his family.
“A... Aouda... I never forgot her... I never forgot them...! I really, really didn’t! Isaac-sensei just meant so much to me, science meant so much to me, I....!!”
He collapses in a heap on the table, weeping.

someone hit me with no insurance
someone hit me with no insurance or someone with my car. I was not at fault in the accident.
I have paid for damages to my own vehicles, medical bills and lost wages.
I have no car and my parents have insurance and I can not be 100% certain because they were in a car accident not because of this policy, but because I’ve not paid anything.
My car has accumulated no personal information since October. My car insurance is only effective on the legal minimum coverage. As long as I am insured in the state of Illinois, I am good and stable. There are a lot of factors I’ve neglected, such as the fact that I had an accident that I didn’t intend to hit. It was my fault because I was not sure if I wanted to be sued by someone and someone with this insurance. I’m trying to get myself the damages I need but there are some issues and that is just an excuse. Can anyone help me. Please Help us.

M.
someone hit me with no insurance to replace my car. The police report and the state reports said the accident occurred on February 23rd. I was at the scene as soon as I got there. I took pictures of their car on my camera, took one hit and then found the other vehicle. I told the police that I did not know why the other driver didn’t leave a lot for their car. They were just driving me. The officer told me that the person on the video was definitely the driver of my car. I gave him my statement. I was told I will keep the police report. I told him that I had to take pictures if there is any sign of the vehicle. It has been over 2 weeks, I still have no results but will be looking into it. My mother is working for a large insurance company and the company got a letter telling me their car was in the wrong place even though the driver did not want insurance. Is there anything I can do? It is only a year.
Someone hit my car whose insurance do I call?
Someone hit my car whose insurance do I call? No. Please tell me it’s possible I was at fault. I could have a claim against someone else but as I don’t know at the level of the other person, I’m not sure. Is a person covered under car insurance? If I’m an insurance company I can not give a difference of any kind. I am not an insurance company. You are not allowed to drive in a car that is not owned by the insurer. The policy will be under the name of the person who owns the vehicle. I am not sure what insurance you have is called a comprehensive policy . However, if something goes wrong before then, you should probably change the name on the policy. The company should do your part, contact the insurer and ask to change the name. There may be a few claims about insurance contracts in a small town. However, we are not in such a small town.
What Happens If The Person Who Caused The Accident Doesn’t Have Insurance?
What Happens If The Person Who Caused The Accident Doesn’t Have Insurance?
When a person causes an accident that was caused by the person else’s insurance, your coverage might end. Or when you’re not covered by an insurance policy, you could be liable to the person whose car is damaged in an accident you caused. If your policy covers damage to someone else’s car in an accident you caused, but your uninsured motorist coverage won’t cover the compensation you would get should your uninsured driver try to sue. In this case, you’ll have to prove your uninsured motorist coverage is adequate and it was written off as a separate policy.
With Underinsured / Uninsured Motorist Coverage, you’re looking at a policy that has limits of $5,000 if a single person causes an accident that you’re responsible for, and $15,000 in bodily injury and property damage. If you’re in a not-at-fault accident that is covered by your insurance, it.
Should I call the other driver’s insurance company?
Should I call the other driver’s insurance company? Yes. Your insurance agent should tell you what kind of coverages and limits you should buy if you want to be covered, but don’t buy it all at the same time. Many insurers have their own that you should check, and you won’t find that your coverages are always adequate despite the fact that you have a history of auto accidents or traffic violations. If you get hit by a driver without insurance, what are some steps you can take to minimize the risk of not getting the right coverage if you have an accident? In some circumstances, you should not do too much to improve your odds of being covered by your insurance company. Some ways would be more than a couple of simple steps. Even after a car accident, you’re still responsible for the damage to the other car or drivers vehicle, which will require major repairs or reconstruction. Even if you purchase additional coverage, it can be a great way to reduce the damage to your own vehicle. For.
So what happens if the other driver in an accident isn’t insured?
So what happens if the other driver in an accident isn’t insured? Or is a higher insurance limit required? If the person has no car insurance at all, in which case it will be up to the other driver to determine who is at fault in an accident you caused. Most automobile insurance companies will consider every car you use a vehicle for insurance purposes, but you only need to include them if you know you’re the “high driver” or the driver you feel was acting in an unsafe way. You do what’s called . To learn more, we’ll take a closer look at the types of car insurance, and see a few of the situations you’ll most likely find yourself in. When it comes to a car policy, a claim is the best way to make the insurance payments. When the claim is verified, the insurance company will pay out the coverage amount. However, there’s no guarantee that the insurance company will actually accept the claim. It can be hard to determine an individual driver’s.
What happens when the other driver is uninsured?
What happens when the other driver is uninsured? While under–insured motorist protection might still be a major issue for some drivers, it’s worth noting that the type of insurer you’re considering will vary from one state to another. For example, some insurers may not allow drivers with relatively minor violations to drive without car insurance while they’re in violation of the law. A comprehensive car insurance policy might be a better choice for drivers who rarely drive, and don’t have cars to rely on. You could also consider optional coverages like collision and comprehensive insurance, which are the main kinds of auto insurance for many drivers. According to National Insurance Crime Data Center, there were 1.2 million uninsured motorists in the U.S. in 2017 (latest available data). If you’re in the market for a new or used car, you’ll need to budget for more than just the vehicle’s sticker price. You’ll be on the hook for basic DMV fees like title,.
Not Enough Insurance to Cover Bills After an Accident
Not Enough Insurance to Cover Bills After an Accident
Although this is a common phrase, the actual insurance will not take its course once the collision occurs. The insurance industry also considers what the driver has known since purchasing the policy. It is important to note that this definition also applies to the policyholder who is in the process of purchasing the auto insurance policy. This should be noted since the policyholder is expected to cover the property damage and the medical service portion of the policy. This is a very important insurance concept to consider. We agree with Mr. Noyes that people who are insured by an existing health insurance policy will not have to meet the $30,000 coverage threshold. To get such protection for a price they will really need an expanded policy. Also, if they can afford it they may purchase a more comprehensive insurance policy. We agree with Mr. Noyes that coverage will not change if the policyholder’s health or medical condition makes it necessary to purchase a comprehensive insurance policy. He also made it clear that comprehensive.
If you find yourself in an accident with an uninsured driver follow these three steps.
If you find yourself in an accident with an uninsured driver follow these three steps. After youâve identified the responsible driver, youâll need additional informationâand then a police reportâto file a police report. In that case, youâll need to file a police report. But, if the personinsured is uninsured (), youâll need to file a police report if the driver was the insured, as long as youâve identified his or her liability. Your property damage coverage will help cover whatever damages caused. It should cover the damage caused while youâre repairing your car, not the damages you cause during the collision.Property damage coverage might cover your carâs depreciation, or even if your car is in an accident with an uninsured driver.If thatâs the case, though, you might want to consider purchasing . It pays your losses, as.

Confessions In The Dark
Request: Hi! Could you please do 79/92/any prompt that works with Edmund where he and the reader are frenemies that constantly argue and tease each other/lowkey flirt but then during one if the arguments there’s like a confession somewhere? Love your blog btw xx
Warnings: N/A
Type: Argumentative...?
A/N: It’s been a long time coming, but I”ve finally finished this request! I’m sorry if it’s slightly different than the request if it is I didn’t mean to change it. Thank you, anon, for having so much patience, and I’m sorry to keep you waiting for so long.
Some people are rather hard to get along with. No matter how hard you try, you and Edmund just couldn’t maintain a civil relationship. There were times where it seems like you two were getting along. You’d start talking about something that interested you both, it seemed peaceful… It never lasted.
Before you retired to your chambers, Peter had asked you to tell Edmund he needed to speak with him. Since you passed Edmund’s study and Peter had a few more things to finish up, you relayed the message to him; Peter requested to see him in his chambers as soon as possible.
“Edmund?”
“Yes Y/N? I have a lot of work to do, and I would appreciate if your face wasn’t here to distract me.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
Edmund sighed, and looked up from the papers scattered across his desk.
“You’re hot,” he smirked as he finished the sentence. “Shame about the personality.”
You grit your teeth and glare at the young king in front of you. Sometimes you just want to punch that perfect smirk right off his arrogant face! You repressed the irritation and eased yourself back into an emotionless expression.
“If you are done with your dreadful attempt at flirting, Peter’s asking for you.”
Edmund groaned and leaned back in his seat, running his hand down his face.
“What could he possibly want? I told him I would let him know when I was finished with my work. If he wasn’t High King…”
“Just because you have difficulty handling a simple task, doesn’t mean you can take it out on your brother.”
Pushing off the desk with both hands and standing, Edmund returned his gaze to you.
“Is there something else you need Y/N? I know you enjoy shamelessly admiring me, but your presence is no longer necessary.”
Taking a deep breath, you held in your retort and answered the man before you.
“That was all, I’ll be going now.”
“Y/N…”
You turned at the sound of your voice, but when you looked at Edmund, his head was tilted downward and he was shaking it.
“Nevermind, go along. You have other things to tend to, I assume.”
Confused, you walked away. It had been a long day, and you were ready to get some rest. As you walked through the echoing castle halls, you could help but think about what Edmund had wanted. He sounded… solemn, in a way, but waved it off quickly. You had never really understood Edmund, but there were also few people you understood more. It was hard to explain your relationship. You didn’t dislike the dark-haired Pevensie, but he was so argumentative and condescending! Though there were times when you felt… almost a… fluttering in your stomach. Shaking your head, you rounded the corner, turning into the hall containing your chambers.
Suddenly, emerging from the shadows, a figure rushed towards you. Before you could comprehend what exactly was taking place, you had found yourself in a small cupboard. The door had been closed and the room was dark, except for a bit of light peeking in from under the door. Picking yourself up off the floor, you shook the handle of the door in front of you, not in the mood for any shenanigans.
“Hello? Whoever it is who put me in here, could you please open the door?”
The only sound in response was your own breathing, besides that, quiet. You sighed and rested your back against the wall, slowly sliding down until you were sitting. If someone was going to lock you in a supply cupboard, they most likely weren’t planning on letting you out anytime soon. You yawned and decided to rest your eyes for a few moments. Before you knew it you were drifting off to sleep. What felt like mere seconds later, you heard a commotion in the hall outside. Standing up, you took a step towards the door, when it was flung open and another body came towards you.
Yelping, you jumped to the side, trying to avoid the mass flying at you. You avoided most contact, but your ankle got caught in theirs as they fell, and you were flung around, landing on top of the body on the floor.
Hearing groaning from beneath you, you quickly rolled to the side and scooted your body away the little bit you could in the small space. The person lying on the floor slowly sat up, and your eyes widened as you saw who it was.
“Edmund?”
The young king lifted his eyes towards you.
“Y/N?” He sighed. “What did you do?”
“Excuse me?”
“You were obviously in here before me. What did you do?”
“Typical. You automatically assume this is my fault.”
“Typical? If you didn’t know, my title is the Just, Y/n. I don’t blame other people for no reason. It makes the most sense you had something to do with this.”
You rolled your eyes and turned away. You were exhausted and would rather not deal with the sassy boy in front of you.
“If you don’t mind, I’m going to get some rest. I’ve had a long day. Someone will find us and let us out eventually.”
Even though you tried to suppress it, there was a harshness about the way you said the words. Edmund didn’t seem to acknowledge it and slid to the floor along with you.
You sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, but just before you drifted off Edmund’s voice broke the silence.
“Y/N,”
This time you didn’t try to hide the bite in your voice.
“What? What do you want? I’m exhausted, but you probably have some witty comment you feel the need to say. Another attempt to lower my self-esteem? Let’s hear it then. It’s coming from your mouth, so it is obviously important.”
In the dim light, you could visibly see the change in Edmund’s mood. Your words had set him off, but it had been so long since you’d had a proper shouting match with the infuriating boy, and the tension between you two could be cut with a knife.
“Sometimes I really don’t like you. I was going to try to start a casual conversation, but apparently, every exchange we have must be hostile! I’m sick of this Y/N! There is no reason for the bitterness!”
“Then why do we continue to act like this towards each other?”
“Maybe,” Edmund paused, his voice becoming quieter. “Maybe because we’re afraid.”
“Afraid of what?”
The unexplained butterflies were back, and stronger than you had ever felt. Edmund’s voice remained soft as he answered you.
“Of what you’d think of me. I’ve always hidden behind my words because I like you too much. I don’t want you to see the real Edmund and dislike him.”
You didn’t know how to respond. You did what felt natural and shifted closer to the young king until your shoulders were just brushing against each other. You both sat there for what seemed like forever, though it was only a few moments. Through the silence, you heard Edmund inhale sharply. Before you could ask what was wrong, there was a body covering yours. Warm, slightly chapped lips were covering your own.You were too stunned to react and froze. Within seconds Edmund pulled away, realizing you weren’t kissing back. His red face was still right in front of yours, which was roughly the same color.
“I’m sorry,” he said quickly, slowly backing away. “I-”
You cut him off before he could continue, leaning forward and placing your lips upon his. The kiss wasn’t very long, but it was long enough to show that the feelings between the two of you were mutual. Once separated, you stared at each other both comprehending what had just occurred.
“Y/N?”
“Yes, Edmund?”
“Would you do me the honor of allowing me to court you?”
You began to smile and nodded your head, whispering a soft yes in reply. A grin broke out on the dark-haired boy's face, and he began to lean in once again. Before he could reach you, the door swung open, flooding the room with light, and revealing a grinning Peter Pevensie, Lucy a few steps behind.
“See? I told you it would work!”
