There's Something in the Water AU Teaser
Welcome to South Bunker! A gem of a town so well hidden it doesn't even appear on your GPS.
Stop at the diner for a bite to eat. Food so good you'll immediately want a nap before you even finish your plate.
Enjoying your cabin? That's what we love to hear, but you may want to keep your curtains closed. Some of the neighbors are a bit nosy.
Car trouble? That happens a lot around here, but don't worry. We have the best mechanic around.
Venture into the woods for a hike, but don't stray from the path and be wary of the hunters. They can get a little trigger happy.
It's truly picturesque when the sun goes down. It almost distracts you from the screams.
Oh, you're leaving?
No, you're not.
Welcome home.

okay but daemon coming home after doing stupid little war crimes like killing people and full of blood, his ears still ringing from the battle, the smell of burnt flesh in his nose and rhaenyra waiting for him while everybody just trys to get away from him, seeing the bloodlust in his eyes not able to predict if he will smash someone's head against a wall if they get too close to him while he is only seeing her and it's only her voice getting him to let his guards down, leaning his head against hers and saying "I did what had to be done" and rhaenyra slowly grabbing his hand and whispering "I know."

You are Home - Phases + Robot Edition
Ok, so we've got a robot / "stomper" (that's what it's called in the code) moving across the bottom of the page:
And there's a light under the door flashing.
There are now 5 phases within the code:
2023-04-29 12PM EDT - 12:10PM EDT (countdown)
2023-04-29 4PM EDT - 4:10PM EDT (countdown)
2023-94-29 10PM EDT - 10:10PM EDT (countdown)
2023-04-30 7AM EDT - 7:10 EDT (countdown)
2023-04-29 11:55AM EDT (no end date, but this seems to be a pre-phase I don't have the HTML for) (countdown)
Now that we are past the 1st phase, the robot has been removed. There is nothing in the code to indicate what will happen for the other phases, just the dates.

Harry's "best friend" is the best boyfriend in the entire world.
Y/n loved her boyfriend more than she loved most things. He called her all sorts of beautiful things, would give her beautiful gifts for no good reason, and most importantly, he loves her and doesn't let her forget it. Amongst their friend group, they are the perfect match. Never apart. Never not talking to each other. Completely connected. It's been like this for the past year, and she loved it.
It took a while to get used to the constant flow of compliments, but she soon learned to bask in them. She still blushes and giggles at them because she still got butterflies whenever he showered her with love.
Harry hated it.
He hated how his best friend asked out the girl he had a crush on for the last year of uni, the one he befriended first. He hated how happy she seemed under his arm. He hates everything about them.
But
He still likes her. He loves whenever he is lucky enough to catch her alone. He loves catching her eye in a crowded room. The thing he loves most is when she smiles at him. He would give up a lot of things to just see that smile more often. It's not like she doesn't smile. In fact, she is smiling almost constantly, but it never quite meets the eye.
It's another one of the friend groups' weekly brunches where Harry overhears a conversation that piques his interest.
"We need to talk, and I think we should leave." The once warm voice of Y/n sounds upset and shakey it makes Harry feel uneasy.
"Let's just talk here. If we leave, people will think something is wrong." Dean's voice is stern and unmoving.
"Fine." Harry has never seen her this upset. "I know that you're cheating on me. I just need to know what I did wrong." To add salt into the wound, she reaches out for his hand, and he pulls back.
"Y/n, I'm not talking about this here." This is what made the tear fall from her big eyes. Harry just wishes he could reach out and wipe them away.
Taking a shakey breath, "You treat me as if I hung the sun, so I don't know what I did." A small sob is let out. "I love you so much. You mean everything to me. I'll fix whatever is wrong with me, just please don't leave me for her." Y/n's begging and pleading is a bit louder than she intended.
"You need to leave. I'll tell everyone you have a family emergency that you need to tend to by yourself. Go home and pack your shit because I'm done." Never in Harry's life has he ever wanted to physically hurt someone until this moment.
"No, you're not doing this to me. You can't be." She's in complete disbelief. "You said you were going to marry me!" Y/n semi shouted. Everything is falling apart in front of her. The man she so deeply loved destroyed her with so little words that he deserved a prize.
He built up her confidence with his sweet nothings. He overfilled her with love and words of affirmation. He made her feel seen. Then he took it all away with an affair.
They talked about marriage and kids and a future where they would have a porch swing and watch their grandkids run around. He said he was looking at rings.
They were supposed to be together till the end, but now...
Her mind is racing. Was she not pretty anymore? Was she ignoring him? Was she just simply not enough for him?
As she is stuck in her mind, she doesn't realize Dean has completely left her.
She's slowly losing the ability to breathe, and she can't feel the ground beneath her feet. Harry watches it all, and he can't bear it anymore.
"Y/n, I'm so sorry, but we need to take deep breaths." He holds her shaking hands gently.
"I'm not enough for him anymore, Harry, I'm not enough." She sobs into his chest. He's now holding up half her body weight, and he cradles her head.
"He doesn't deserve you. How about we leave through the back door and we can go back to my place and change out of these uncomfortable clothes and watch some movies?" Harry whispers gently to her as her tears stain his shirt.
Although something he would never admit, his heart broke for her. Not because he was upset that the pair was officially broken up, but because of how much pain she is in from it. He knows how difficult this is all going to be on her, especially since her and Dean lived together.
For now, he just wants to be there as a best friend. He'll help her get back on her feet. He'll be the best person possible if it means she will be smiling and not crying.
She simply nods at his suggestion and whispers a small "please" that makes him frown at how meek she is.
"Ready to go?" Another nod follows, and they are on their way out, leaving the weekly brunch.
