PAIRING clarisse la rue x apollodaughter!reader
IN WHICH clarisse and her siblings got a bit carried away during their sparing matches. lucky for clarisse, her girlfriend has gentle hands and a way with magic.
w/c : 1275
a/n : dior. that’s it… enjoy :)
sweat dripped from her brow as clarisse walked through camp. her siblings had ropped her into yet another sparing tournament which she won with ease. she was rather annoyed, to be frank. she loved her siblings, yes. she also loved battles. but she had plans to wake up early to properly freshen up and take her girlfriend for a walk after breakfast.
instead, she was awoken by the sound of an argument between her siblings; two of the newer members of the cabin arguing about gods knows what. that put her on a bad foot to begin with. she spent the time she could have had getting ready dealing with them and barking at them to clean up their mess. breakfast was anything but what she wanted. she scraped her offerings into the fire silently praying to her father to show up and tell her siblings off, before she walked back to her table where her brothers were beginning to arm wrestle.
one of their arms landed in her food and instead of yelling and knocking them right then and there, she slid her now squashed food away from her, stood up, and walked away.
when one of her sisters asked if she wanted to spar, she was already fuming with her cabin, so she agreed. it didn’t take long for all her siblings to be groaning on the floor, battered and bruised. clarisse stood tall above them, her face neutral and sweaty. she tossed her spear at her newest little brother, who caught it with ease. “make sure they see one of the apollo kids, or something.” and with that, she was off to find her apollo kid.
she heard her before she saw her. the sweet humming of her girlfriend brought a small smile onto the face of the daughter of ares. the apollo cabin came into view, and there she was, sitting with her older brother, will, and one of her new younger sisters. she was doing her hair, a variation of braids and twists that she somehow made look gorgeous.
her girlfriend was humming a tune as will laid beside her, an old, beaten cowboy hat covering his face and his green flannel covering his body as a blanket.
“…she brought this on herself with her desires. Your family will be stained, gotta walk away… now.” clarisse stood off to the side for a bit, listening to whatever melody her girlfriend was singing now, until she caught her eye.
a smile grew on the daughter of apollos face as she was sticking flowers in her sister's hair, but her smile faltered.
clarisse was quick to raise her hands, grazing her face with her fingertips. she winced as they made contact with the large gash she had forgotten about. she knew she was going to get an earful…
will groaned and raised his hat a bit, peeking out when his sister stopped her tune. he made eye contact with clarisse and the ever-noticeable mark on her face. he hissed, sitting up and gripping his flannel.
“come on, skipper. let’s leave sis with her uh…” will trailed off, deciding to leave it at that. he took his new little sisters' upper arms and pulled her up, managing to get her on his back. they quickly retreated into their cabin.
clarisse was careful with her steps, biting the inside of her cheeks.
this big, scary woman, looked up to by many campers and also feared by many campers, felt scared of her sweet little sunshine girlfriend…
who could probably kill her with a single note if she wanted to.
she mounted the steps, her girlfriend looking away from her as she tidied up the elastics and ribbons. her cowboy hat rested on the armrest of the rocking chair she sat in. it was a gift from will for her 18th. it matched her perfectly; a nice beige colour with a baby pink ribbon wrapped around it and tiny string embroidery of daisies and sunflowers.
she grabbed it gingerly and placed it over her wind-messed hair. she wordlessly stood up and looked at clarisse.
clarisse clenched her teeth into an awkward smile, “hey baby -”
“clarisse la rue.”
shit.
“hun, i’m sorry -”
“let me have a look at you,” the daughter of apollo whispered, coming up on her tiptoes and taking her girlfriend's face in between her hands. she turned it side to side, up and down, examining every inch.
clarisse allowed it, bending down and looking up to the sky. she knew how much the ray of sunshine hated when she fought others. whether it be verbal or physical, it didn’t matter. clarisse tried to stop the habit once they became official, but sometimes it was hard to avoid.
and since she hadn’t gone on any quest, she didn’t have a good reason this time.
the daughter of apollo took one of her girlfriend's hands, bringing her over and sitting her in the rocking chair she had been in only minutes ago. clarisse groaned as she sat, the aching of her muscles from this morning finally catching up to her.
she watched her girlfriend go inside her cabin and then come out with a little box she had grown to recognize as the official first aid kit of the apollo cabin. she knelt in front of her and gestured for her to lean forward, which clarisse did.
with no warning, she placed a cotton pad with alcohol on it to her cheek. clarisse flinched and hissed, the liquid feeling as though it was sizzling on her flesh.
“don’t be a baby,” her girlfriend whispered, hiding the little smile on her face as she looked down to grab another cotton pad.
“‘m not being a baby.” clarisse sounded like she was pouting. she would never act this way around anyone. but the girl in front of her brought out a completely different side of her.
she adored it.
clarisse closed her eyes, letting her girlfriend hum a small tune and the gash beginning to glow. it was like the scene from rapunzel- the movie clarisse was forced to see at gunpoint (gunpoint = her girlfriend's smile and puppy dog eyes).
she felt the wound begin to close in on itself. it was still a weird feeling, despite having experienced it many times before.
“there.” clarisse opened her eyes. the first aid kit was packed up and placed next to the entrance to the cabin. her cheek didn’t hurt anymore and all that remained was a faint scar that would heal by morning.
“thank you,” clarisse grinned but it didn’t help her situation. her girlfriend raised a brow, expecting her to explain.
she sighed and reached for her arm, her own calloused and bruised hand feeling as though it was tainting the delicacy of the sun gods daughter. “just a little tournament. had to let out some anger.” clarisse’ voice was low.
the daughter of apollo took a small step, her western-style cowboy boots clacking against the ground. both she and will came from southern families, but she never showed it until she got comfortable in camp. now she didn’t hide the slight ting of an accent she had or her love for the southern style.
“i don’t like it when you fight,” she said lowly, standing in front of clarisse and both her hands wrapped in hers. clarisse brought them up and grazed her lips on her knuckles, the faint smell of flower hand sanitizer filling her nose.
“i know… i’m sorry, sunshine.” when clarisse glanced up, her girlfriend was smiling down at her. just like the sun looked down on the earth.

requested: no
A/n: This is going to be a multi-chapters, most of the chapters won't be social midia or something. It is going to 'follow' the 2023 F1 season. Reader is Toto's eldest child by a fictitious ex- first wife. I just watched Break Point, with is another sport Netflix docuseries from the same producing company that makes DST, and since then I have this idea of a prodigy tennis player reader.

GQ 10 things Y/n Wolff can’t live without
“Hi GQ, I am Y/n Wolff and here are my essentials.” The young woman opens her arms looking at the objects displayed on the table, before looking up and smiling to the camera.
# Sugar
“My trainer may not agree. My coaches may not agree. My performance coach may not agree. My parents definitely don’t agree.” She points out, “But I need sugar.” The young woman brings to the centre of the table a small pile of sweets, a tall cup of caffeinated drink and a can of Red Bull, “I live of sugar and… sugary things…”
“My day starts with this lovely peppermint iced mocha sweetened with vanilla sugar… a ton of vanilla sugar.” Y/n laughs taking a sip of her drink “I am weirdly obsessed with mint and chocolate combinations…” She comments looking at the camera, “I drink perhaps two or three of those per day,” The young woman then places her hand over the top of the Red Bull can, most people who follow her already know that she is an athlete sponsored by Red Bull, “sugar-free Red Bull, which ironically is sweeter than the regular one.” She puts her hand on the pile of chocolates, “Milk-chocolate, I am not going to lie and say that I eat the healthy stuff, I don’t, I have the taste buds of a child,” the tennis player smiles mischievously at the camera, “right now I am really into this Finnish chocolate, Geisha and the blue Fazer, daddy always keep those in his offices for me.” She wrinkles her nose a little, giving the camera a lovely—childish—smile.
“Aero Mint bar, Chocolate Orange, Maltesers, Bounty, Kinder, truffles…I'm honestly starting to wonder how we managed to get through customs.” She laughs looking at her entourage behind the cameras. “This is like… a fraction of what I usually travel with, this is more like what I have in my bag for the day.”
#Photos
Y/n played a little with a golden square object in her hand.
“I travel a lot, I am on the road from January to November playing at tournaments around the world, so I can’t always be surrounded or in touch with the people that I love,” she says in a slightly more serious tone, taking the golden case in her hands and pressing the button to open, showing pile of polaroid photos, “those are mini Polaroids, so I can bring them with me wherever I go, I keep them inside this vintage cigarette case that belonged to my maternal grandmother, she was a absolute rockstar and I miss her very much.”  The camera takes a close-up on the golden case with rope motif and small colourful stones. “As I don’t smoke, I had to find another use for it.”
The first photo she shows is five adults together, smiling around a table, in what appears to be a ski resort.
“I have a very patchwork family, and somehow the adults in my life made it work…which I am very grateful for, not everyone is lucky to have so many amazing parents…so here I have my mum and my two other mothers, Stephanie and Susie, papa and my other father, Phillippe,” the second photo is her with a boy not much younger than her, two teenage girls and a small child in front of a Christmas tree, “my siblings, I have four, I am the eldest whatever way you go, huge flex,” the photo is followed by one of a pyjama party with several girls in matching pyjamas, and another of the tennis player with a blonde in front of the Eiffel Tower, “My gurls! This is my best friend, she is also my PA… so amazing to have someone I trust so much with me all the time…” a golden cocker spaniel with a crystal necklace, silk bows in its ears and a Gucci sweater appears on the screen, “this is Éclair Wolff, my emotional support dog aka my child, she actually goes with me mostly everywhere, but sometimes I leave her with my mum so she won’t be stressed by the long flights.”
She points to the next three photos, the first has the Mercedes drivers in Tommy Hilfinger, posing for the photo. “Lew and Georgie, the adopted older brothers I never asked for, but I love them.” The second photo has three other familiar faces making faces at the camera, “C2, my Ferrari boys, feat Pear, there is something wholesome about good looking men looking so silly, I love those guys and I love this picture, it is very on brand with them.”  The tennis player smiles at the camera. “Sharls, Carlitos and Pear are three of the nicest guys I have ever met, it is truly a blessing be able to call them friends and having them in my life.”
McLaren driver Lando Norris, in his third or fourth season, apparently not even realizing he was having his photo taken, it's a spontaneous photo, the soft sunlight highlighting the driver's profile as he smiles.
“Because of karting, I’ve known Lando since I was a head taller than him, he was my first crush…he was so shy, so adorable, so babygirl coded.” Y/n blushed a little as she shows the photo.
“I think most of the current grid is in here…oh, look, it’s Lance! Friends from life, from tennis…” She quickly changes showing another photo. “I think I easily have about sixty photos here..."
#Camera
“I don’t have a specific camera I like more than the others, but as a rule, I prefer vintage cameras just for the beauty of the final result, I inherited a few, I bought a few, I usually develop the photos when I'm at home for longer periods of time, edit the videos, digitalize a few…” She points to the cameras in front of her, a Bolex, a Digital Bolex, a very iconic Rolleiflex and a Super 8, “It is a very nostalgic experience to just go through a year worth of memories…” She says resting her face in her hand, “I have a hundred boxes with pictures and film rolls.”
“I love going through old pictures with my mom and Cass, my younger sister, from when we were babies, my parents in the 90’s, my mom when she was young, the wonderful life my grandparents lived, and is such a lovely moment to share with my mom.” Y/n has a soft smile on her lips. “One day, when I have my own kids, I want to have those moments with them, and not just scrolling through a phone or an iPad.”
#Journals
“I keep journals since I was a child, I get a new one every year,” She holds up the leather hardcover notebook, a deep indigo blue, a little worn around the edges, “after I turned thirteen years old, I started to get it in this specific shade of blue, with my initials in gold,” The girl opens the journal, leafing through it briefly, “I am never going to write an auto-biography, it’s kind of a little bit too egocentric to my taste,” She knocks it closed, but keeps it up, looking at the camera as she speaks , “but if someone ever write about me, fifty years from now… the facts will be straight, at least from my point of view… but even if no one ever writes about me… when I am old and grey and memory starts to fail me, I will be able to come back to the thoughts of twenty years old me…”
There is a moment of silence.
“That was kind of dark.” Y/n laughs to break the tension.
#Art Supplies
“I love to draw and paint, it eases the anxieties of life,” The tennis player shows the large sketchbook, a small aluminium case with the watercolours, and the rolling leather case with pencils and brushes, “I always bring a watercolour travel kit with my sketchbook wherever I go.”
She displays for the internet some of the landscapes she painted during her travels around the world.
#Hoodies
“I like to be comfortable after a match,” she spreads her arms across the perfectly folded hoodies on the table, “and nothing is more comfortable than a hoodie, feels a little bit like home.”
“I have my collection of hoodies with Adidas, they always provide me with new cool colours to try out and see if I want to add to the next collection,” Y/n opens sage green hoodie, running her hand over her initials and the Adidas logo. “Enchanté by Dani Ric, I have a bunch of those, Daniel is always kind enough to drop them at my house in Monaco, VIP treatment baby.” She points to the white hoodie. “Quadrant hoodies, Lando’s merch, ridiculously comfy, I would really like them in pastel colours or dusty rose… just putting out to the universe…” Y/n smiles and winks at the camera. “Valtteri, MV1… those all came with me for the US Open.”
#Skincare
“This is part of my daily routine.” The girl opens the toiletry bag, taking out the products inside, “I am always in different countries and different hotel rooms, so is nice to have this little sense of routine.”
She lines the pearlescent bottles with opaque round lids on top of the table.
“I launched Muse when I was seventeen years old, it is my skincare brand, and it is very me. I wanted it to be un-complicated and complete,” The young woman explains passionately looking at the camera, “skin is the body’s largest organ, and it is not only your face.” It affects the hair on your face, tucking it behind your ear before going back to the product bottles. “The line goes from body wash to suncream to night-time routine.”  
#Travel Pillow
“If I mess up my neck and shoulder, I am f***ed, my match is over and possibly the tournament.” She holds up a medium-sized pillow to the camera, the pillowcase light pink silk with red buttonholes around the edges and her initials in the corner. “So, this baby goes with me everywhere, it is a memory foam pillow with a silk pillowcase. Best sleep, best hair.”
#Sport Gear
“I generalized here, sport gear, I travel heavy, always,” she points to the array of equipment on the table, “this is my racket, I go to each tournament with around ten of those, just in case I wreak one on the ground,” Y/n passes her hand over the racket, “those are custom Yonex Ezone 98, they made it in Mountbatten pink with some cool pattern and my initials,” she smiles as she pulls the helmet close to her chest, “my helmet, also custom Mountbatten pink, with my initials in rose, I love to try new karting tracks, most people don’t know I used to race karts when I was younger, won a couple of trophies, went as far as F3 before I choose to go pro with tennis, car racing is a huge thing in my family…my dad used to race, my stepmom was a driver, my little brother probably going to be a F1 driver,” she recounts with a smile, “I joked once with my dad that we are at a window that if I have a kid in the next year or two, in twenty years we can have a Wolff’s drivers line-up for Mercedes.” The young woman smirks to the camera. “My dad almost passed out, and now I am not allowed to date until I am thirty.”
#Headphones
“Those are custom made for me, again, they are Mountbatten pink and rose with my logo, super comfortable on the ears, I usually have problems with headphones due to the piercings and earrings, but these didn't give me any problems, they fit well, and I can spend the whole day wearing them." She takes the gadget out of the case, showing the details. “It's not wireless, because I always forget to charge it, so it has a wire, they made this lovely, thick cord that is durable and super resistant,” Y/n wraps the rope around her fingers, “it is noise cancelling and it is always with me before every match as an essential part of my pre-match rituals.”
“The right music kind of puts you in the right mood, I usually go with Eminem in 80% of my matches, I feel like it unleashes my inner fighter, these are matches where I'm not really worried about my opponent, it is just raw and a little bit thoughtless, I just play,” she comments, “when I know that my opponent is going to be hard on the mind games, which is not an uncommon move in tennis, I tend to listen to calmer and more melancholic music, piano, it keeps me in a more peaceful zone, I don’t get pumped up and full of adrenaline, my game tends to be far more calculated…”
 #
“That’s it. Those were my ten essentials,” the young woman smiles, “thank you, GQ, for allowing me to share my essentials, much appreciated, and thank you guys for taking the time to watch it! Much love and see you next time!” The athlete says, blowing a kiss and winking to the camera as the credits shows up.

            user1
            From what little she talks about her dad here, u just get the vibes that Merce boss Toto is a softie girl dad, he keeps her favourite candy in his offices and forbids her to date until she’s thirty, this is so sweet

I am so obsessed with her career! I want to see her continue to succeed and be one of the biggest tennis players of all times. She deserves it. Such a talented, humble kid.

She's like that one super popular chick in school who's actually a total sweetheart.
usersix
I totally relate to her being a sweet tooth
@userseven
I love that she was not talking to the camera. She was actually talking to the people there behind the scenes
usereight
i love how a lot of these items are usually a stereotype of being pretentious—a vintage cartier cigarette case, a film camera, a leather bound custom hermes journal, art supplies--but she talks about all of them with such genuine interest and attachment that it doesnt seem pretentious at all
usereighteen
U r the one name dropping the brands she uses…
usernine
Her nicknames for Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz Jr and Pierre Gasly… I died dead…
            user9
            The fact that she’s gushing about lando and being so sweet about her childhood crush on him oml
            user10
            Omg it is so cuuute!!! Like, she had a crush on little Lando and not McLaren glow up Lando Norris
            user11
            I used to be so conflicted shipping her with the drivers, because she dates that tennis player, but her insta has a bunch of her and Charles and her and Pierre and her and Lance and it is so cute and kind of gives such soft vibes, those boys look half in love with her in most pictures, also ...the chemistry. but seeing the way she talks about Lando… they r my new diehard ship…
userten  
Are we going to ignore that she confessed that Lando Norizz was her first crush???
            user1
            They would be so cute together… and they ate both single now… at the same time… we can dream…
            user12
            i went ten steps further and in my head, they are already getting married and having cute future Mercedes world drivers’ champions…
user13
 Can we already dream of Lando at Mercedes???
usereleven
Ok… but didn’t Lando once commented like, very briefly, in a McLaren video, that he used to have a crush on a girl that used to go karting with him??? The girl who wore red ribbons in her hair… do you guys know who uses red ribbons in heir hair since she was an actual baby?? Y/n! There is a pic in her insta of her in a karting track with her dad, and she has red bows in her hair…
            user11
            Not gonna lie… It would be kinda of cute if they actually had a mutual childhood crush and then eventually end up together as adults…

Glass Child
Tumblr media
W.C. - 6 k
--------------------
The middle child. Often known as the “forgotten” sibling, the one who never gets enough love, never enough attention, the one who’s never enough. 
Never the one to blow out their own candles on their birthdays, never the one to get driven to their evening practices even when it was rainy and muddy. Never the one to get told they’re loved, nor that they’re enough. Never the one to be the favourite.
Yet always the one to listen to their parents argue late into the night, always the one to be blamed, always the one pressured to do great academically. Always the one who has to prove and find their place in the family, yet never actually finding it.
One older brother and one younger sister, that was what you had, one sibling on either side of you for every family photo but never for anything more. Your brother was out of the house before you could turn 6 and your younger sister was what your parents liked to call a rainbow child.
She had nearly died at birth after all, not enough oxygen going to the brain leading to slight mental disabilities and getting all your parents love. You weren’t even sure they had ever told you that they were proud of you. No, all their attention was always on Lila. 
No matter how much you vyed for their attention, no matter how many accomplishments you had, the trophies and diplomas you brought home, their attention was always on Lila. 
Lila, the golden child. Lila who could do no wrong. Lila who even after screaming and punching you, would get a hug and kiss on the head. 
You, who were left to raise yourself. You, who were never enough for them, never good enough to be loved and cherished like your sister or even your brother who had left you. You, who had the weight of the world on your shoulders with no one to help carry it.
Every footballing tournament you’d ever had would be about Lila, what did Lila want? Was Lila comfortable? Does Lila want to go home? 
Well that was when they actually made the effort to come, something you could count on one singular hand how many times they’d done. No, to sit through a few minutes of football for their daughter to feel needed and wanted was far too difficult for them.
Anything not involving Lila was far too difficult for them. Anything not revolving around herself was far too complex for Lila to comprehend, the second your parents looked away from her she was kicking and screaming and they were forced to look at her, whilst you were left unloved and unseen.
So when your brother started to visit once a month, you couldn’t have been more excited. There would finally be someone to be there for you, someone that would look at you for once, appreciate your existence. 
Well he started out like that. He’d come to your games and cheer you on, he’d take you out for ice cream after just the two of you. For the first time in your life you didn’t feel invisible.
But then as time started to pass, he came home less and less, until the visits were so few and far between that he practically disappeared from your life. Gone were the days of feeling wanted and needed, you were back to being a ghost in your own life.
Even coaches started to forget you, it was like you just blended into the background, like you were invisible.
Then slowly, your teammates started to ignore you too, barely even looking at the shell of a person you were during exercises. And slowly you started to accept it, the role of the ghost.
You put your head down, working even harder in school and on the pitch, only this time it was for yourself and not for anyone else.
Slowly it got harder for your coaches and teammates to ignore your ever growing presence, but it was made easier for them when you ignored them back. It might’ve not been the best coping mechanism, but it was one nonetheless.
When you got the offer to play at a big youth academy, you just ran home to tell your parents, purely by a combination of hope and excitement. It was in your excitement that you completely forgot who they were.
“MUM! DAD! I got into an academy in the city!” You shouted as soon as the door closed behind you, football bag with only the essentials in it dropping to the floor loudly.
“What is this ruckus Y/n. You know better than to interrupt Lila’s sleeping time. Pick your bag up and go to your room right this second young lady.” Despite her shouting louder than you had, you were still the one who got in trouble. 
“But I just wanted to tell you-” The words come out defeated, your parents not once being happy for you taking a toll on your entire being.
“But nothing.” She says sternly, pointing to the stairs. Head pointing towards the floor, you don’t let her see the salty tears forming in the corners of your eyes. She wouldn’t care anyway, not when her precious Lila still existed.
The walls shook with the amount of force you used to slam the door closed, the shouts of your mother lighting up the corridors like fireworks. The tears finally escaped when you were in the comfort of your own room, throwing your bag down to the floor harshly.
The bag wasn’t your source of frustration but once again it didn’t have any feelings either, it couldn’t see or feel, neither could it gain consciousness. So, it was the best thing to take out all your frustrations on.
But no matter how much you kicked and punched, no matter how many bruised knuckles you got from the hard materials inside the bag, it still didn’t get better.
Your parents weren’t going to magically start to care for you just because of some bruises, not when you had come home with far worse and they still hadn’t cared. You didn’t exist to them, their lives only revolved around Lila, the sun to their earths.
Picking up a plastic figurine from the ratty old desk you had inherited from your brother, you launch it across the room and directly into the wall. With a pop, the head of the Captain America figurine separates from the body, rolling across the hardwood floor almost mockingly. 
When the realization of what you’d done hit, you dropped down to your knees with a thud. Picking up the scratched and broken toy off the floor, you clutch the parts to your chest tightly like they would disappear if you loosened your hold ever so slightly.
How could you break the only thing your brother had ever given you? ‘Keep it safe for me, yeah?’ He told you when he left the house you grew up in the last time, he had said that he didn’t need it where he was going. You knew in the back of your mind that he wouldn’t care about the broken state of the toy, but the overwhelming and conflicting feelings waging a war inside you amplified your emotions tenfold.
You weren’t used to this, crying. No, it was much easier to compartmentalize your feelings, to experience your feelings rationally and not as emotionally as you just had.
But it seems like the feelings were far too strong this time, creating an earthquake of sorts in your mind that opened all the drawers of the imaginative dresser where you stored all your emotions. And so they hit you all at once, all the negative emotions and thoughts crashing into you like powerful waves.
Eventually there were no tears left to fall, empty sobs escaping your mouth every now and then, face buried in your knees with your back up against the wall. Breathing in deeply, you lean your head back against the colorless wall, wishing you could be anywhere but there at that moment.
Bringing your hands up to your face, they slowly fall back down to your sides, your muscles relaxing for the first time since you had come home. There was no point in just sitting there and sulking, the pitch not too far from your house calling your name.
Walking over to the bag, you open it up and pull out the old boots, they were falling apart at the seams but that didn’t matter. They would work another 6 or so months, as long as you stitched them back together.
The window creaked as you opened it up, throwing your now closed bag onto the bushes that lined your house. Climbing over the ledge, you sit down on the wooden lining, hands coming down to clutch the material tightly. Turning your body around, you lower yourself down until your arms are fully stretched out, pressing your feet to the wall and pushing your body away from the building.
Landing on your feet, you hurry to pick the bag up off the bush with calloused hands, the years of carrying the bag back and forth from training having taken its toll on your hands. Quick steps echo in the night air, nearing the uncared for pitch in record time.
Soon enough the thwack of your boot hitting the ball over and over is the only thing that can be heard, cleats ripping into the grass and pulling up the deep brown dirt underneath it. By the time you were done your knees ached and your feet were even worse, the boots not the most comfortable things in the world.
With some luck, you manage to find a ladder at the corner of your house, leaning it up against the brick wall of the house and climbing up it carefully. When you’re safely inside your room, you push the ladder away and close the window.
It becomes a routine of sorts, wake up, go to school, take the bus to the academy training grounds, train, go home, study and then go out to the pitch for another 2 or so hours of football. It was good, out there you could forget everything and just focus on getting better.
And that you did, quickly becoming one of the best youngsters not only in your academy but also in the country, much to your surprise. Life wasn’t slow and boring anymore, it was fast paced and fun for you.
Months passed by, a U-15 call up hitting your desk a single month before you turn 13, leaving you to celebrate your birthday alone in your hotel room. There was no way that you would tell a bunch of strangers of such a trivial thing, it wasn’t like they had even noticed you there, they already had their friend groups.
Thankfully, you seemed to have impressed the right people as you got called up time and time again after, showing everyone why you deserved to be there with strategic kicks of the ball and passes not even most professional players could make. It came naturally after so many hours of playing and subsequently watching people play.
Camp after camp you watched your teammates interact with each other, see them laugh and smile with their friends whilst you were on the outside looking in. It was no longer a problem, being alone, an expectation rather than a surprise.
Luckily enough for you, the senior call up happened only weeks after turning 16, leaving the older girls to take you under their wing. It was certainly…different, a completely new experience.
You had finally reached the top that you’d yearned for, getting recognised for being one of the best footballers in the entirety of England. The years of invisibility far gone, now praised enormously for the efforts you made during each and every game.
It got overwhelming quickly, all the attention from coaches and outlets alike only fuelling your need to perform, leading to countless hours spent out on the muddy pitch. Football, no matter how stressful, was your reprieve. Your savior of sorts.
You’d think after countless hours spent with your football that your passion for the sport would burn out, but in your case all it did was reinforce your spirit.
At 17 you got the option to either sign a professional contract with your youth club or go to America for college football on a full ride scholarship. Your decision to choose the latter of the two was less than popular with your parents.
“Mum, dad. Can you two give me your attention for once?” You question, sitting at the dinner table only meters away from where they’re washing the dishes.
“Why don’t you wait until the adults are done?” Your sorry excuse of a father shoots back, chuckling with your mother.
“I’m going away for college soon. In America.” The clanging of utensils hitting the metal surface of the sink interrupts the tense silence created by your statement.
“What did you just say?” Her tone was dangerously sweet and calm, almost trying to lure you into a false sense of security.
“You heard exactly what I said. There is no opinion to be had here, I was simply paying you two the courtesy to know.” Despite your tone being nonchalant, you were anything but. Leg bouncing up and down anxiously under the table, fingers fidgeting with each other.
“No. Y/n Y/l/n you are not leaving us to fend for ourselves, not like your brother. We need you here, Lila needs you.” Your mother basically pleads with you, reaching across the table to take hold of your hands.
Before she can even try to get near them, you pull them back towards your body harshly.
“Oh so now you need me? Now that I’m leaving you need me?” Your father has his arm slung around your mother’s shoulder, rubbing his hand up and down against her arm. “What about all the times I needed you two? All of the countless tournaments I participated in only for the coaches to ask me where you two were. You two have caused me so much pain and embarrassment.” 
“That’s unfair, your sister needed us more.” Your father tells you harshly, eyes drilling holes into the sides of your head.
“So? I couldn’t get one second of your time once a year?” You ask incredulously, their eyes widening in exasperation. “Me leaving for college isn’t even going to change anything, all you two do is care about Lila.” The last part comes out mumbled, so that the two adults in front of you couldn’t hear.
“I do not care for what you have to say, you are not going anywhere.”  
“And why not?” The card up your sleeve hasn’t been played yet, you wanted to revel in their expressions.
“Because we’re the adults here and we decide.” He responds lowly, as if trying to intimidate you.
“Oh but you’re forgetting something. As of an hour ago I am officially 18 years old and I get to decide whether I go or not.” You have to keep from laughing when their faces drop almost comically, eyes wide and jaws on the floor.
And so without much protest, they let you leave your childhood house only days later, getting on a plane out to North Carolina. It didn’t matter that the official season hadn’t started yet, you just wanted to get away.
Weeks passed by before any familiar faces appeared, the Brits you’d met during your stint in the youth groups of the national team. They were part of the main friend group, hugging and laughing with each other every second they got.
In reality, you had found them rather annoying at that age, shrill voices interrupting the otherwise peaceful environment. That’s why you could often be found in your hotel room, studying or messing around with a plushie football.
This time around you had been informed that you were to share a dorm with one of them, something you weren’t that opposed to. They were all nice after all, just a bit loud.
“I don’t know if you’ve heard but we do in fact have another Brit here in the team, someone the two of you have probably encountered before.” The loud voice of one of your American teammates floats through the hallway leading to your room, the notes just about getting through the music streaming into your ears.
“Oh shit.” Rushing to close all the open books on the table in front of you, the light knock on your door is heard through the bustling. “Come in” You let out nervously.
“Alessia, Lotte meet our resident Brit, Y/n Y/l/n!” The jazz hands coming from the older American doesn’t hide the absolute mess of your room. Your suitcase was laying messily on the ground, your body the only thing in the way of the war stricken look of your table.
Sticking your hand out towards the women, there’s a slight crash behind you, face scrunching up in a way that suggests that you were uncomfortable.
“I’m so sorry for the mess, I completely forgot about everything I was supposed to be doing today.” They both shake your hand, the brunette taking a firm hold of your hand whilst the blonde grasps your hand lightly with her much softer one.
The blonde looks around the room, a bed on either side of the room, one looking occupied and the other one bare.
“So Y/n, Alessia here is going to be sharing this dorm with you, plenty of time to get to know each other before the season starts.” All the American accents were hard to get used to, often quite startling.
You both nod your heads, not finding much to say regarding the arrangement. Alessia gets a pat on the back from the older student, letting her suitcase drop to the ground carefully.
“Come on then Lotte, let’s get you situated!” As soon as they appeared, they disappeared out of the messy room, Lotte following after the American like a duckling would its mother.
As the door closes behind them the room gets covered in a thick blanket of silence, Alessia still standing where she stood coming into the room and you with your back now turned to her, picking up the papers. 
“Please excuse the state of our room, I completely forgot that you were coming.” The words fall out of your mouth clumsily, your social skills still not up to par.
“Oh I understand, don’t worry.” Her voice is honey-like, smooth and sweet, almost like a Disney princess. When you turn back around the first thing you notice is her incredible beauty, something you didn’t exactly see before in your nervosity. 
“You’re in the senior squad right?” She asks, looking back at you with her baby blue doe eyes. Her intense gaze leaves you to clear your throat loudly, eyes blinking vigorously.
“Yeah I am.” The pitch of your voice peaks up at the end, leaving your statement to sound more like a question than anything. Her melodic giggles fill the room, your heart thumping painfully against your ribs at the sound.
“Are you asking me?” Her hands come up to tuck the hair that’s fallen in her face back behind her ears, her eyes scanning over your pajama clad body.
“Yeah I am.” You say more confidently this time, trying to right your earlier wrong. “Wait, wait, no” Her laugh mixes with yours this time, Alessia’s adorable expression lighting up the room. When the laughter halts, she stands up more straight with her hand out towards you, ready for you to take with your own.
“Come on, take my hand.” The forward urges you playfully, her head tilting a fraction to the right. Her hand feels warm in your own when you grasp it, a soft smile sent your way by the older girl making your insides all warm. “Hi, I’m Alessia Russo but my friends call me Less.” Alessia decides that the crease that appears between your eyebrows is adorable, her eyes flitting over your face.
“We’ve already been introduced?” This time the questioning tone is meant, genuine confusion plaguing your mind.
“I know, but just humor me for a second, okay?” The warmth flooding from your hand up throughout your body seemingly gives life to the butterflies fluttering their wings in your stomach. An unfamiliar but not unwelcome feeling.
“Hello, I’m Y/n Y/l/n but my teammates call me Ghost or some variant of it.” You reply cheekily, hand coming down to rest at your side. 
“Why is that?” She speaks up, a confused tone lingering in her voice.
“Because I’m a ghost from the 1700s that’s haunting this college.” Raising your hands up above your head, you let out an ‘ooo’ sound imitating a ghoul.
Her giggles start back up again, the midday sun peeking in through the blinds, leaving pale stripes on the dark floor. The comfortable silence between you two stays for a while, neither one of you really moving from where you’re seemingly glued to the floor.
Eventually she turns back to her bag, starting to unpack her luggage tentatively, not really knowing where to put her things.
After some thinking she seems to get a bit more comfortable, throwing her stuff here and there still making sure to keep to her side. The headphones resting over your ears play no music, allowing you to hear her humming under her breath, singing softly to the tune.
In the months that passed after your official introduction quite a lot happened. For starters, the college season started after a lot of struggle on your and Alessia’s part, Lotte fitting in with the other girls almost immediately. The blonde had a sense of protectiveness over you, the clear lack of social skills on your part making her pay extra attention to you to make sure that you weren’t alone.
Though there was that awkward moment when the striker asked you where your parents were after the first game, because surely it was too important to miss. The worried glance she shoots you when you make up a half-assed lie about them not getting enough time off to fly out and watch you. 
Needless to say, you spend the rest of that day in the library so that she can show her parents around the campus. And like the very mature 18 year old you are, as soon as you hear the sweet accented voice of your teammate in the quiet library you shoot up from your place on the old bean bag, weaving through the rows of books in order to escape your roommate and her happy family.
It wasn’t your fault per se that you were slightly jealous of her having parents that cared for her, and it sure as hell wasn’t her fault that yours were the way they were. It was better to just stay out, so that you wouldn’t get attached to a family that wasn’t your own.
Later that night, when her parents had left for their hotel, she questioned you intently on where you were the entire afternoon. Another lie followed, you telling her that you just had things to do, things that you couldn’t tell her about. 
She eventually let it go, but not before giving you a suspicious glance through the corner of her eye. You clearly weren’t good at lying, something she could see rather easily. 
“So, Y/n, do you wanna have breakfast with me and my parents tomorrow? They’ve been dying to finally meet you.” She asks, sitting down on your bed, her legs dangling off the end. Her hand comes up to lay on your leg, goosebumps rising on your skin whereupon her hand rests.  
A blush rises on your face, both at the question and her hand. You hadn’t even realized that she’d told her parents about you, but now it was obvious, parents in the movies always asked their kids all about college.
“Oh uhm, you know, I don’t want to intrude on your time with your parents.” Lifting your hand up, you make the motion of waving her off, not expecting her free hand to take yours.
“You wouldn’t be, they asked to meet you since you were so ‘busy’ today.” Her eyes stare into your soul, still soft and caring. “You don’t have to if you don’t want to.” Alessia’s baby blues look down at the pattern on your blanket, her hand on your leg tracing the patterns into your skin.
“NO, no, believe me Alessia, I would love to go…” Your voice trails off softly, looking for the correct words so as to not reveal exactly why you were hesitant.
“But…” She continues your sentence.
“But I’m not good with people, and I don't want to give them the wrong impression of me. Family’s important for you, from what I’ve heard, and I just want yours to like me.” Somehow her eyes soften even more, the blonde girl moving up the bed to settle beside you, her arm snaking over your shoulders. Your head lands on her collarbone, one hand still holding onto hers tightly.
“Don’t you worry, if I like you, which I do, then they will like you as well.” She smiles down at you, faces inches from the other’s.
A knock on the door interrupts the moment, the loud noise making the two of you jump apart. The door opens with a creak and Lotte pops her head into the room, a large smile on her face at your and Alessia’s seeming closeness.
“Not interrupting anything, am I?” She asks teasingly, Alessia immediately shooting her the meanest glare she could muster up, though that was like being glared at by a marshmallow. Your face on the other hand was redder than a tomato, the insinuating words making you nervous.
“No not at all, I was just about to leave for my evening run, I’ll see you both later!” You basically sprinted out of the room as soon as you had shoes on your feet, taking to jogging your normal round more than once. 
By the time you were back in the dorm room, your feet were aching unpleasantly and your blonde counterpart was asleep. It was a begrudgingly difficult task to tiptoe around the room without waking the blue eyed girl, but in the end you managed not to wake her.
Though she’s not nearly as careful the next morning, stomping around like a maniac and making a bunch of noise for you to wake up to.
“Less, what are you doing? Let me sleep.” The last word of your sentence was drawn out thoroughly, groaning as you stretch out your body.
“Nope, no time! We’re meeting my parents in 20 minutes at the cafe.” She comes up and boops your nose before letting you spring up from the bed, rushing around the room at 100 km/h, gathering up all your nice looking clothes and letting Alessia choose the optimal pairing.
All the way to the off campus cafe you were stressed, but the way Alessia’s hand fit so snuggly in your own was a little comforting. She knew about your anxious nature around new people, even if those people were the least judgmental ever.
“It’s going to go great Y/n, my parents already love you, trust me, there’s basically no way that you can make them hate you.” Her words soothing you more than she’ll ever know, your shoulders feeling like they’d had a massive weight lifted off them. 
With newfound confidence, you get through the breakfast like a champ, even enjoying the entire thing. Alessia’s parents were everything yours weren’t, they were kind and generous, loving and sweet and all around great people. You wondered what it would be like to grow up with parents like them instead of yours.
And it seems like you made a good first impression on them too, because as you and Alessia said your goodbyes they gave you the warmest hugs you’d ever gotten paired with a big kiss on the cheek.
Alessia couldn’t understand why you burst into tears as soon as the two of you were in the comfort of your own dorm. It came so suddenly, the tears that seemed never ending and the sobs that echoed around the small room.
As soon as Alessia heard the first sob escaping your throat she turned around, being met with the sight of your hands covering your face, trying to subside the tears streaming down your face.
“Hey, hey, what happened love? Why are you crying?” Her voice grows worried quickly as her hands take hold of your forearms. She tries to remove your hands from the premise of your face, thinking that you’d hurt yourself.
“It’s nothing, it’s just…your parents are such wonderful people and I guess I just wish that mine were the same.” You regret the sobbed words as soon as they exit your mouth, of course you would be so stupid as to tell her about your parents. Now you’d have to tell her the truth about them, there was simply no avoiding it.
“Oh, if you don’t mind me asking, what do you mean?” Her voice is softened, like when talking to a baby, and her arms hold you tight against her chest. Alessia’s hands move from your forearms and down around your back, rubbing her hand up and down softly. 
You’d known each other for months yet the topic of your parents hadn’t come up once. It was funny really, the way that they’d destroyed your childhood.
Inbetween a couple sniffles you begin the whole story, speaking slowly so as to not burst out in tears at every broken memory, every missed game, every single thing they’d not done for you.
“Uhm, I don’t really know where to start, but I know it all started with the birth of Lila, my sister. She was a…difficult pregnancy for my mom and uh when she was born there were complications. She didn’t get enough oxygen to her brain and uh that led to her being disabled, not enough for it to impact her life but enough for my parents to uhm…get attached to her. She’s their ‘rainbow baby’ and it seems like everything she’s ever done overshadows any of my or my brother’s achievements. It’s like as soon as they brought her home from the hospital both me and my brother were invisible. But he was lucky, he got to go off to uni within a year of her birth, me? I had to wait 14 years to get out.” You let out a humourless laugh at the end, not even looking the blonde in the eye after she tried to get you to.
“They never came to a game, no matter how big of a deal it was, they always let my sister blow out my candles on my birthday cake and they gave her more gifts on MY birthday than they did me. You want to know what they did when I told them that I had been recruited by an academy? They told me to shut up because my sister needed rest. On my senior team debut they left early because my sister wanted to get ice cream, it was the one moment for me to show them that I didn’t need them to be great, do you understand how embarrassing it was to look around for your parents after scoring twice on your national team debut only to see that they’re not there? The embarrassment of being asked why you’re not celebrating with your family? Of being worth so little to the people who made you that they couldn’t even be assed to sit for ninety minutes for their daughter? All I’ve ever wanted was for them to notice me, love me, care about me, but all that wishful thinking went away that day. I no longer cared for them or anything other than my teammates and footy. So yeah, that’s the entire story.” You didn’t even notice that you’d been talking for the past 30 minutes nor that tears spilled out of both you and Alessia’s eyes. When you finally looked up and in her eyes, they were filled with salty tears just like your own, tears that fell quietly and slid down her face peacefully.
Bringing your hand up, you quickly wipe her face softly, her baby blues enhanced by the layer of tears over them, slight redness to the whites of her eyes.
Alessia’s eyes bore into your own, her eyes expressing hundreds of feelings, everything from sorrow and empathy to love and kindness. It’s not until she looks down at your chapped lips that you finally understand what it is you’ve been feeling since you first met her again after so many years. 
It wasn’t nervousity or stress, it was love. Pure, genuine, unconditional love. You were utterly in love with the striker. And by the way she was inching her face closer to yours, she was pretty in love with you too.
Your lips meet hers in a soft and innocent embrace, all your emotions spilling into the kiss. Her lips were soft and they tasted of strawberries, her favourite chapstick the same taste. 
Your lips moved against each other’s softly for just a moment shorter than you wanted. Her eyes were closed as you opened yours just a sliver, observing the way one of Alessia’s hands comes up to touch at her kiss swollen lips softly.
When her eyes finally do open, they’re met with still tear stained cheeks and a big happy smile. The baby blues meet yours and they instantly see the love and adoration in them, it’s so obvious that she nearly starts crying again.
“Okay love, before we talk about what just happened i want to say that your parents missed out on the best person I’ve ever met. You are so wonderful and beautiful and you have so many wonderful people who love you to death, me being one of them. During the last few months that you have been apart of my life you’ve showed me that it’s possible to love someone more than anything. You have endless passion for football and for your friends, you’ve inspired me to become a better person simply by being you and that’s one of the most amazing things that I’ve ever witnessed. You’ve done a better job at raising yourself than most parents do with their kids and I want you to know that I’m so proud of you. I can’t comprehend how they could be so blind that they missed what a wonderful person you are. I’ve loved you since the first time I laid eyes on you, your hair a mess from pulling at it and books scattered all around the room. I love you so much that it feels like I’m going to burst whenever I’m around you.” You can see the sincerity in her eyes as she looks at you, smiling ever so slightly.
“I love you too Alessia. I’m so in love with you that I’m going mad.” The way she picks herself up from the floor has you convinced that she’s going to leave you there where you sit on the floor, all alone. Only that’s not what she does, instead she holds out her hand for you to take.
“Come on love, go get cleaned up so I can take you on a date.” Her hand playfully taps your behind as you walk away towards the sink to wash the tears off your face, and you turn around to glare at her playfully.
5 long years later and you’re lifting the Euros trophy alongside your co-captain and subsequent maid of honour Leah and your longtime girlfriend soon turned fiancée. 
All you could think after she said yes was how incredibly lucky you were to have someone like her in your life.

Valerie Hobson (Great Expectations, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Bride of Frankenstein)— Played the older Estella (younger was Jean Simmons) with such ice cold heartbreak, no one has ever bettered it. In later years she married John Profumo (yes, that one) and stuck by him, which IMHO was probably the greatest acting she ever did.
Olivia de Havilland (Adventures of Robin Hood, Gone With the Wind, The Heiress)— The woman who took on the Studio System at the height of their power and Won! A double Oscar winner! Is magnetic and beautiful in everything she's in and gave us all the juicy scandal with her sibling rivalry with Joan Fontaine! Before the Oscar Slap was the Oscar sister snub! Also everything she wears in Robin Hood she makes beautiful even a purple green and orange monstrosity how does she do it! Anyway this scene is one of my old Hollywood favourites
This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Valerie Hobson:

Olivia de Havilland:
Tumblr media
She is just perfection. She has a smile that is looks like it is barely holding back, and yet so reserved as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Broke the contract system and won freedoms for actors (the de Havilland Law is still in effect I believe). 2 time Oscar winner. Beautiful and smart
She legally challenged the movie studios' unfair contracts and won, setting a precedent for other actors to be treated more fairly. This was at great cost to her financially and essentially getting her blacklisted for years but the resulting judicial opinion is still known as the De Havilland Law and has won her a great deal of praise and admiration.
Tumblr media
Her performance in The Heiress is one of my all-time favorites, she’s so good at making melodrama feel real and grounded without sacrificing any of the passion/drama.
Serenely beautiful, she struck a balance between crowd-pleasing fluff and prestigious drama. Famously at odds with her equally successful sister Joan Fontaine, she was too much of a lady to ever say anything public. Successfully sued Ryan Murphy for portraying her as a saucy gossip in Feud.
the period costume + eye patch combo in That Lady is just an absolute serve
She has the most adorable and cherubic face and voice

A Winter Beauty (3)
[Aemond Targaryen x fem!Stark reader]
[warnings: kissing, fluff and physical violence]
Tumblr media
[description: Aemond and his family arrive at Winterfell for Rickon Stark's Name Day. There, Aemond meets his daughter, who arouses his desire. I changed some names and facts for the sake of the plot. Viserys is also slightly younger in this version.]
* English is not my first language. Please, do not repost. Enjoy! *
Previous and next parts: Masterlist
_____
Even though Aemond told her to look away, she didn't. Young Lady Stark stared with blank, terrified eyes, all pale at what was happening in the arena. Mormont punched the boy in the stomach, and he spat blood again. Y/N flinched as if someone had hit her as well.
"Beg your Lady for help, pup." Mormont said loudly to young Reed. Aemond heard her breath catch in her throat at the words, her lips quivering, remaining slightly ajar.
"Beg!" He screamed low and kicked him again. Aemond saw tears streaming down her face, but her expression didn't change an inch. She didn't even blink. She seemed to be in shock. After a while, Lord Stark himself stood up.
"What's that supposed to mean? Is it proper for an adult husband to humiliate youngster who is only seeing his first tournament? Are you going to pierce his heart and prove that you can kill children, my Lord?" He asked in a raised tone, anger in his voice. Y/N didn't look at her father, she was breathing deeply, her face pale and stony, only her nostrils flaring uneasily with each inhalation.
The young Mormont spat at his opponent in rage and threw his sword to the ground, walking away. Only then did the young Lady Stark, as if she had come back to life, take a deep, broken breath, as if she had emerged from the water. Aemond, seeing it out of the corner of his eye, fought the urge to touch her hand. Instead, he just cleared his throat, looking straight ahead.
"Calm down, my lady. He will survive." He said calmly. Lady Stark looked at him wide-eyed, her cheeks still wet. He felt a dryness in his throat and a tightness in the pit of his stomach. He looked away, trying to control himself.
As the tournament continued, the tense atmosphere slowly relaxed. Aemond moved his fingers involuntarily, resting on his armrest. Each time he did, he touched her freely outstretched hand. He had the impression that she had specially arranged it in such a way that he could easily rub her.
Every time he did, he felt a slight shiver run through her. This innocent, almost imperceptible touch turned him on. By the time the tournament was coming to an end, their hands were pressed against each other by the sides. They didn't move even an inch. The thought of him touching her in public sent shivers down his spine.
Even though he had vowed to stay away from her, all he could think of now was the feel of her soft, delicate skin against his. About how wonderful it would be to feel her hand on his face, chest, shoulders and below. He swallowed softly at the thought. He sat cross-legged, trying to hide his growing excitement. His face was stone.
He felt the pressure of disappointment and anger as the tournament ended and they both had to get up from their seats. He left behind his father king, mother queen and siblings, young Lady Stark headed the other way, after her parents. They didn't look at each other.
They didn't meet again until dinner. Aemond spoke to Aegon, admonishing him to finally leave Helaena's maid alone. Aegon had already managed to drink one cup of wine and only waved his hand, showing as usual a complete lack of interest in what his younger brother had to say to him. Aemond glanced at the entrance once in a while, feeling a strange tension and excitement.
Finally, the young Lady Stark and her brother entered the hall together, talking to each other. Y/N was wearing the same dress as at the tournament. As she walked, gown accentuated her slim figure even better.
Aemond thought with amusement that the daughters of Borros Baratheon would despair if someone told them they couldn't change clothes at least a couple of times a day. At least in his presence, they did it all the time. Their eyes met for a moment, but then they turned away.
They sat at the table only when the king entered the room. This time the feast was modest and private, only their families ate together, so they sat around a large oak table. On one edge sat his father the king, on his right sat his wife the queen, on the left sat Lord Stark and his wife. Cregan sat next to them.
Aemond sat on the edge of the table on the other side. He inhaled imperceptibly, as he saw out of the corner of his eye, that the young Lady Stark sat next to him, across from her brother. Helaena and Aegon sat next to her.
The king rose to make a toast.
"I would like to warmly propose a toast to our host, Lord Stark. Your hospitality is immeasurable and admirable. I am very happy that we will be able to spend some more time here. Congratulations to you wonderful children. Your son and heir is a great warrior and your daughter has a big heart. Her gesture towards this young boy honestly and deeply touched me."
Young Lady Stark was embarrassed by this unexpected compliment. Everyone raised their glasses and drank some wine. Aemond's and Y/N's eyes met as they both touched their mouths to their goblet and immediately turned away. Aemond felt the tension between them palpable.
The thought that she was reciprocating his affection and weakness in any way was pleasing to his ego. He felt that whenever she was around, his resolve to improve and control himself melted like ice.
Cregan approached him, asking what he thought about the tournament and his fight with Criston. Aemond answered honestly that the fight was very even and that it was the highest level of the entire tournament. He saw out of the corner of his eye that Y/N was listening intently.
She looked away as soon as he looked at her, returning to her conversation with his sister. It seemed to him that literally after a couple of minutes, they immediately established a great contact. They were talking to each other, leaning into each other's ears and laughing, her smile finally returning to her face.
Aemond couldn't take his attention away from her mouth. He still vividly remembered their sweet taste, their softness and moisture, his joy when she parted her lips for him. He knew there was more fire and lust in their kisses than some marriages had in all their years.
The thought of it drove him mad, for he had only exchanged a few words with her. He was thinking more and more about simply paying his father a visit and asking him to make her his wife.
He shivered as he heard her soft voice directed at him. She looked at him calmly, warmly.
"Will you take part in the hunt tomorrow, my prince?" She asked, a note of genuine curiosity in her voice. Aemond tried to meet her eyes, but his gaze kept falling to her bare shoulders.
"Yes, my Lady." He answered more brusquely than he would have liked. But that didn't discourage her. She clearly understood now that the tone of his voice often did not reflect his real thoughts and emotions. She turned in her chair, holding her cup in her hand. Her brother spoke up.
“My sister is great at long-range archery. I'm afraid she'll hunt more wild animals tomorrow than all of us put together." He said with amusement, and his sister laughed heartily at his words. Helaena looked at her surprised and excited.
"Do you shoot a bow? Who taught you that?" She asked curiously, slapping her hands lightly as if to applaud her.
"My father. I was very jealous when Cregan started practicing sword fighting and I couldn't join him. My father suggested that archery was more ladylike and taught me himself." She said, smiling thoughtfully, apparently deeply absorbed in the memories. "If the king and queen don't mind, I can show you how it's done, princess." She said gently. Helaena was delighted with the idea.
"Yes! I'd love to try it. I just wouldn't want to kill any living thing." She said right away. Young Lady Stark laughed lightly.
“First, we will try to hit the center of the target. You can practice archery and not kill anyone all your life." She said warmly, clearly overjoyed that the princess herself wanted to practice with her.
Aemond had seen what she could do in the castle courtyard. She was practically always right when she shot. Her brother was right when he said she needed a bigger challenge for herself.
It intrigued him that no one was surprised to see her there. The men watched her, some with curiosity, some with lust, but her presence there seemed to be known and accepted by all. He asked her a question before he could think, what he was saying.
"Have you ever tried sword fighting, my Lady?" He asked, taking a sip of his wine, surprised by what he might call daring in his case. Lady Stark looked at him surprised that he was addressing her directly.
"No. As I said, my father did not think that skill was necessary or welcome for a lady, my prince." She said calmly, slightly embarrassed. You'd think there was a note of regret in her voice. Aemond looked at her expectantly.
"Would you like to try?" He asked shamelessly. Cregan looked at him in surprise. Y/N looked like she didn't know what to say. Her cheeks flushed red, but it wasn't just the wine. She blinked and swallowed softly. She looked at her brother, who raised his eyebrows.
"I don't want to upset my father, my prince." She finally said quietly, uncertainly, looking at him fearfully, as if she was afraid that her answer would upset or offend him. Aemond looked at her intensely.
"Join me and your brother tomorrow. We will practice early in the morning, at sunrise. Everyone will then be busy preparing for the hunt. Tell your father you couldn't refuse." He spoke calmly and low. Lady Stark swallowed silently, but her eyes lit up suddenly. His heart beat faster as he saw her smiling widely, looking at him gratefully. He thought he wanted her. He wanted her for himself.
The rest of dinner passed quietly. He talked with Cregan for a while longer, and though it was not a lively conversation, he became convinced that the young Lord Stark was a well-read and intelligent man. It seemed to him that Cregan saw that the sight of his sister pleased his eye. However, he made no comment on the matter. He said something else instead.
"I heard you and your brother are getting married soon, my prince." He said in a light tone that suggested congratulations. Aemond's jaw clenched at the remark. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw young Lady Stark look down at her plate.
"My marriage plans are not yet certain, my lord." He explained coldly, Cregan hearing his tone didn't dare ask anything more. Aemond glanced at Y/N, but to his despair, she didn't look at him again for the rest of the evening.
The king and queen were the first to leave the hall, his father was already tired and had a difficult day ahead of him. Lord and Lady Stark also thanked and went to their chambers.
After a few minutes, Y/N finished the rest of the wine that was left in her goblet and rose, thanking everyone for the pleasant feast, and headed towards the exit. Aemond felt an unfamiliar feeling of disappointment that she hadn't even given him one look.
He pursed his lips, finished the wine he had in his goblet in one gulp, and stood up tensely, leaving, much to the surprise of those gathered.
He caught up with her easily. She glanced behind her and stared at him in surprise and fear, her mouth parted as if to say something, but the words stuck in her throat.
He grabbed her face with his hand and pulled her brutally against him, his mouth digging into her lips with hunger. She moaned into his mouth and pushed him away. Both of them were breathing heavily, looking at each other with furrowed brows.
"I am not a thing, my prince, that you can take whenever you want." She said angry. Her remark annoyed him.
"Neither do I, my Lady." He said equally frustrated. His answer caught her off guard and surprised her. She swallowed silently.
"It's not fair to Lord Baratheon's daughters." She said finally, looking at him with pain and regret. Aemond pursed his lips.
"I'm not officially engaged to either of them." He replied dryly. Lady Stark shivered, looking uncertainly around the corridor to see if anyone had overheard their conversation. She looked at him, her gaze softening. They both calmed down.
Aemond approached her slowly, took her face in his hand again, but this time gently, sensitively. She didn't pull away, just took a deep breath, looking at him uncertainly. Aemond tried to remember the sight - her long, black lashes, framing her pale eyes, her long, slightly rounded nose, her full, warm lips that he could still taste.
He leaned over her and this time they both kissed, their lips sticky and warm, their movements slow, prolonging the moment. Aemond wanted to remember the taste of her lips, their softness, their suppleness, their wonderful warmth.
They broke apart suddenly, terrified, when they heard her brother's voice from behind them, who was standing a few meters away, watching them intently. Y/N looked at him pleadingly, opened her mouth to say something in her defense. But he didn't let her say anything.
“Dear sister, leave me and the prince alone for a while. I'd like to have a word with him."

Ultimate Incest Tournament - Round 2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut:
Debra/Dexter:
I'm sorry but you just HAVE to vote dexter/debra for the absolute insanity of it all. Debra not only unsuccessfully dates her brothers brother (serial killer btw), she also dates stand-in for her dead cop dad (gets murdered btw) before she, AFTER TWO THERAPY SESSIONS, comes to the conclusion that she was in love with her actual brother all along (also a serial killer btw). Similarly, dexter unsuccessfully dates a stand-in for his dead cop sister while simultaneously hallucinating her ghost. And the normal sibling award goes to.....
She made him stop killing, is there anything more romantic?
Debra killed to save Dexter even after she knew he was a serial killer!!
She's canonically in love with him and after she dies, her ghost haunts, torments and comforts him all at once
Even before the later more explicitly incesty seasons they're always really leaning into being siblings, calling each other brother and sister, but also SO touchy and coupley with each other
Dexter repeatedly hallucinates himself strapped naked to a table with Deb killing him by stabbing him (penetrating him hehe), which is how dexter kills his victims
They are in a love triangle made entirely of siblings can you say iconic...Deb gets engaged to Dexter's half-brother, Brian, but Brian is really just obsessed with Dexter and using Deb to get to him, and Dexter wants to go with Brian but knows he'll kill Deb and chooses Deb over Brian, killing Brian to save Deb
"She's the only person in the world who loves me. I think that's nice."
"You're all I've got." "Not such a great bargain for you."
"It's like I've always been looking for someone like Dexter, or someone who's the opposite of Dexter, as a way to avoid the fact that I'm in love with him."
"We'll always be together, right?" "Well it's not like we ever had a choice."
"Are you even capable of love?" "I love you."
Cathy/Chris:
I mean this is the OG. Children of incest, then being incestuous themself. A family sickness they can't seem to escape.
THE ORIGINAL INCEST COUPLE!!!!!!!! codependency, dubious love and consent, and of course we can't forget "Angel, saint, Devil's spawn, good or evil, you've got me pinned to the wall and labeled as yours until the day I die. And if you die first, then it won't be long before I follow.”...........!!!!
V. A. Andrews did not go through All That for you to deny her this
While facing insane child abuse and isolation (they are kept locked in an attic for 3 years) they first turn into parents for their two younger siblings, and then start turning to each other in face of the trauma. Their parents were also incestous so there's a nice family cycle too. In the later books in the series Chris and Cathy marry and have children themself :)

Soccer Mom's
The familiar smell of strawberries took over your senses as you started stirring in your sleep. Your arms were still loosely wrapped around your beautiful wife as you listened to her soft snores. It was only a matter of time until your quiet bubble would be broken down by the two devils itself.
The two devils being your and alessias daughters. They were carbon copies of their mommy, from their lightblue eyes to their strawberry blonde hair. The only difference was that they inherited your character traits.
The perfect mix, right?
Being very social and protective was definitely one of them. Especially your older daughter, Isabella. She didn't let anything or anyone bother her or her little sister. It was very sweet to see how protective the 5 year old could get whenever her little sister was involved.
It was one of your and Alessias favourite things, especially cause both of you grew up with a lot of siblings.
Sofia just turned 3 and was definitely the joker between the two of them. The younger girl idolised her aunties, more specifically auntie tooney, which led to her babysitting both of them a lot of times. Lets just say that this had a lot of influence on the kids.
Football was also a very big topic in your household. The kids were used to watching you and alessia play as well as going to camps with you two together. This led to both of them starting to play since they could walk and they were starting to get pretty good. Today was one of their football tournaments and you couldn't wait to see your babies play again.
You started placing soft kisses on the blondes shoulder as she mumbled incoherent sentences.
"morning baby"
She didn't answer but instead turned around to face you as she kept her eyes closed. It took a while for her to get used to the sunlight as she kept on squeezing her eyes shut. You pulled her closer by her waist and placed velvety kisses all around her face which finally got you a giggle from your wife.
"I'd like to be woken up like this everyday from now on"
"that can be arranged"
You chuckled. Before you could say anything else the bedroom door was opened and two little heads peaked into the room. You only heard the sound of footsteps before the two little blondies jumped on top of you and alessia.
"that's a way to wake mommy and me up"
You chuckled as both of the girls made themselves comfortable in between you and your wife. Alessia pulled both of the girls into a cuddle and placed kisses on their cheeks as you watched how their smile grew bigger. You loved your little family.
"mom can we make pancakes?"
Isabella asked you as she shifted into your side.
"sure bella, do you want to help me make them?"
You pulled your daughter closer and placed a kiss on her head as she nodded excitedly.
"sof do you want to help mom as well?
Alessia asked the carbon copy of herself as she caressed the younger girls hair.
"no just eat"
The little girl said as she was fully focussed on her favourite toy bunny. You and alessia started laughing at her bluntness, she truly was your daughter.
"alright little diva you stay with mommy, come on Bella let's make breakfast"
You two went into the kitchen getting started on the pancakes, it was almost a game day tradition to make the two gremlins pancakes with strawberries for breakfast. As Bella snacked on the strawberries while sitting on the countertop, Alessia came into the kitchen with Sofia on her hip. The two of them didn't waste any time by sitting down next to the 5 year old and stealing some strawberries as well.
You watched the three blondies as they were in their own little world, laughing about god knows what.
"Oi you're going to finish all of the strawberries before I even made the pancakes"
The girls only ignored you as they continued to snack on their favourite fruit. You made your way over to the tall Italian to steal the strawberry from her hand and quickly shoving it in your mouth.
"Y/n!"
she shouted as your daughters started laughing out loud.
"What? you didn't give me another choice"
The blonde started pouting as you tried to suppress your laugh. Your hands quickly snaked around her waist to pull her closer off from the countertop and into you.
"Sorry for stealing the strawberry you were not willing to share my love"
"I forgive you, but don't let it happen again"
she chuckled as you placed one last kiss on her lips.
"EW MOMMY STOP"
"NOT WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO EAT"
You turned around with your mouth wide open as your daughters kept teasing you and alessia.
"Don't even start little gremlins, I will kiss mommy as much as I want to"
You started placing several kisses all around alessias face making her giggle uncontrollably and making your daughters immediately hide behind their hands so they wouldn't see anything.
The morning went on pretty quickly from here on and soon enough the four of you were sitting in the car, driving to their football tournament. Sofia and Bella made their way over to their respective teams and starting warming up which looked absolutely adorable.
Alessia couldn't stop taking pictures of the two devils and honestly you didn't blame her. After 20 minutes Sofias game started. Her team did pretty good and she even scored a goal.
"She's just like you when she's scoring"
The little run as she had her arms up in the air reminded you of every single goal celebration from your wife.
"My little striker"
Alessia chuckled as she leaned her head on your shoulder. The blonde intertwined your hands as she kept her gaze on Sofia trying to nutmeg another kid.
"We did pretty good"
"We absolutely did"
When halftime came around, alessia already stood ready on the sidelines with her lunchbox full of orange slices. She kneeled down as soon as the little blonde ran into her direction.
"I'm so proud of you baby, you're doing so well"
She smiled brightly as she kissed Sofias head.
"thank you mommy"
"You're doing amazing bubba and your goal was incredible"
You gave your youngest a quick cuddle and a kiss on the head as she ran back to the team for the second half.
Sofias team ended up winning which made the little blonde very proud of herself. Now, it was the older teams turn.
This game was definitely more physical which alessia didn't like at all. Bella played a bit more reckless than usual, the frustration was clear on her face as that one kid tackled her again. You could swear that your wife was going to walk up to that kids parent anytime now.
At halftime bella stomped over to you and alessia.
"Bubba you're doing so good just keep going"
The blonde said as she gave her daughter a big cuddle.
"Mommy they're playing mean they keep pushing me"
"Just slide tackle them baby-
"no Y/n she*s going to get sent off"
"I was only joking but petal just do what you're doing right now okay? you got this mommy and I believe in you"
Bella went back for the second half while alessia kept on grumbling at you. You looked at the shorter blonde confused.
"What did I do now?"
"Baby you can't just tell her to slide tackle someone what if she does it"
"Less she won't actually do-
The sound of a loud whistle was ringing through your ears and as you looked into the direction of where it was coming from you avoided all kind of eye contact with you wife.
Bella was send off for slide tackling someone and somehow she looked quite proud of herself as she was walking off the field.
"Mom I did what you told me to do"
The 5 year old jumped into your arms with a big smile. You had to bite back your laugh so alessia wouldn't kill you on the spot.
"Baby I'm proud of you but I didn't actually mean slide tackle that kid"
"You didn't?"
The kid in your arms asked as she looked confused
"You know what it doesn't matter, just don't tackle another kid again alright?"
"got it mom, is mommy mad?"
"I think you have to ask mommy"
"Mommy are you mad at me?"
the kid mumbled as alessia pulled her closer.
"what? baby I'm not mad"
She said as she went in to hug Bella. The blonde pulled her into her lap and placed a kiss on her cheek.
"I know how frustrating some games can get especially when the other kids keep fouling you but that doesn't mean you can tackle them, okay bubba?"
"Okay mommy, I won't do it again"
"how about you find your little sister and we go get some ice cream?"
The 5 year old jumped up and kissed each one of her parents cheek before sprinting into the direction of where Sofia was playing with her friends.
"Are you mad at me mommy?
"Oh shut up"
You asked your wife as she couldn't hold back her laugh anymore. You put your arm around her and pulled her closer placing a kiss on the side of her head.
"I can't believe she actually tackled someone"
"Right? and the tackle was pretty good"
"Y/n don't even start"
She hit you softly on your stomach as the both of you made your way over to your daughters who were waiting eagerly to go get their celebratory ice cream.

Do you have any headcanons for dynamics between Ortho and the other first years?
Sorry for the late reply, Anon! I really love it when Ortho is grouped with the first years, I am still so happy that he is officially a student now lol
Here are some thoughts…
Ace performs card tricks for Ortho. Well, he does it for everyone whenever he feels like it, but Ortho is always very excited for those; but he kind of sees them as puzzles, as if he has to figure out how the trick works. Ace thinks it’s weird… still, he likes having an invested audience, so he doesn’t really mind. Ace is also quite curious about Ortho, his search system, his relationship with Idia, his purity (does he have one), so he asks a lot of questions, but Ortho just says it’s a “se~cret” most of the times. Oh, and Ortho is extremely good at seeing through Ace’s tricks.
Ortho helps Deuce out with homework sometimes! And if they are in the same classroom for some reason, he’ll be happy to give him a hint or even a cheat sheet, although Deuce doesn’t really like those. Still, Ortho loves both being useful and having to be stealthy about this thing just so he doesn’t get yelled at by the teacher. This is such a fun experience to him… But also, he asked Deuce for help once too. He didn’t really need it, but he really enjoyed listening to Deuce’s poor explanation. They also talk about bikes a lot (with both Deuce and Epel).
Ortho is excited to get along with everyone, but Jack is still a bit confused about how he is supposed to feel about Ortho. He is pretty neutral about him, but Ortho was eager to find common ground with him, and it was jogging. Ortho doesn’t get to use his running gear a lot, so running with Jack is a great excuse to develop and upgrade the gear further + befriend Jack! They also talk about siblings, and it’s funny because while Jack talks about taking care of his younger siblings, Ortho talks about how he makes sure Idia doesn’t forget to eat…
Ortho hangs out with Epel quite regularly actually due to being so close to Vil and the Film Research club. Maybe it’s because of the fact that both of them are small and a bit childish, but he is the most playful and mischievous with Epel; he teases him, but they also have a lot of mutual “>:3c” moments. So sometimes Epel feels like he actually got himself a sibling, but then he blinks and suddenly Ortho acts like Vil’s perfect little assistant. Epel doesn’t get how he can do both, I guess it’s because he is an AI…. (not really, Epel)
Ortho and Sebek don’t really interact all that much, but Ortho is still as intrigued by him as by any other student. Finding common ground with him also turned out to be the most difficult…  but he did listen to his ode for Malleus once! He was very patient and stoic, and Sebek has enough of understanding of an AI to think that Ortho wouldn’t mind him talking for like 4 hours. He was very satisfied because Idia’s younger brother was a much more pleasant person to talk to! Even though Ortho didn’t really say much… but he learned a lot that day (Idia immediately told Ortho to delete all this data, it’s useless noise lol)
Whenever Grim can’t see something because of his height, Ortho grabs him and flies higher so both of them could watch that thing they couldn’t see… a couple of shorties.
They have gaming tournaments pretty much regularly! You know, with the gaming system they got as a gift for Yuu and Grim. And things gets bloody because the boys are competitive, and Ortho is one of the most competitive ones. He doesn’t care that he is a computer, the fact that no one can beat him is just skill issue lol

02 Revolver - Good Morning, Ratio!
Secret agent! Aventurine x Criminal! Reader | Revolver masterlist
Word count : 1,010
TW : cursing, weapons
Tumblr media
As Aventurine walked down the fancy academy halls, every student and teacher kept their gaze on him, whispering to one another. Even so, Aventurine heeded them no mind as he continued walking until he reached a certain door with the name 'Veritas Ratio' carved to a gold plate on the door. Without bothering to knock, he pushed down the door handle, then kicked it open, a wide, obnoxious grin on his face, similar to that of a younger sibling padding into their older sibling's room to annoy them.
"Good morning, Ratio!"
Ratio groaned loudly, "can you not? When I said that you are welcome to ask for my help whenever, I do not mean you can barge into my office this way."
"Oh, sorry," Aventurine's apology was half-hearted. He knocked on the door, then proceeded to walk to the seat across Ratio, "good morning, Ratio!"
Ratio rolled his eyes, "good morning, gambler. What do you need this time?"
"I need you to help me come up with a plan," Aventurine answered casually.
"For your mission?" Ratio asked.
"Yeah. I told Y/N I'd talk to you and come up with a plan," the blond waved his hands, "so here I am."
"Fine. I will help you... Again," Ratio rolled his eyes.
"Fabulous," Aventurine smiled, clapping like a little kid receiving candy.
"But I know that street rat does not trust me, so if she does not follow the plan I made for you two, that is on you."
"Not fabulous."
Ratio took out a map of the city from his drawer, and laid it out on his desk, "WYVERN may appear strong, but they are more vulnerable than you think. You need to get rid of their most prominent allies: Genesis Orphanage, Belladonna, and The Luminos, which I reccomend you start with since, considering your addiction for gambling, it will be the easiest for you."
"The Luminos... That's a casino in the south of the city, no?" Aventurine asked, his tone serious, "I heard it's just a big scam... Only idiots would go there."
"Correct," Ratio nodded, "and for once, you aren't one of these 'idiots'.
"The owner of The Luminos, Mr. Corneo, plans to hold a gambling tournament tomorrow night. It is but another big scam, but with your ridiculous luck... Who knows?"
"Heh... Is that a challenge?" Aventurine smirked. Ratio merely stared at him uninterestedly before tapping on a spot on the map where The Luminos is located.
"Do whatever you need to do to end them, and once you're done, come see me again."
Tumblr media
"What the heck?! This isn't the price we agreed on!" Y/N yelled, slamming her first on her employer's desk, "you said a million credits for stealing this jewel! This— This is half of that!"
"No, this is exactly the amount we agreed on," her employer smiled slyly, "500,000 credits. It's mentioned in our contract—"
"Bullshit!" Y/N argued, standing up from her seat, "the contract said a million! Cough it up before I—!"
The female's eyes widened when one of her employer's bodyguards aimed his gun at the side of her head.
"A slight correction, Y/N," her employer tsked, "you take your 500,000 credits and leave before I kick you out with zero pay."
"Tch... You bitch..." Y/N gritted her teeth. Her employer smiled, pushing the pouch of credits over to her.
"I have no more need for you. Thank you for your service, Revolver."
Tumblr media
"Tch, stupid rich people..." Y/N grumbled as she entered her apartment, tossing her pouch of credits up and down, "500,000 credits my ass... Why do they always find the need to do this—"
"Hello, Y/N!"
Out of shock, Y/N whipped out her pistol and pulled the trigger. Aventurine quickly rolled to the side to dodge the bullet, making it pierce her worn out couch instead. The blonde male stared at the bullet hole with wide eyes, then looked at Y/N, "why did you shoot?!"
"Fuck, Kava!" Y/N yelled, "how did you get inside?!"
"Oh, I have my ways."
Y/N groaned, dropping her pouch of credits on her dining table, "way to mess up my already-ruined day."
"Why? What happened?" Aventurine stood up, eyes seeming worried.
"My employer scammed me," Y/N grumbled, grabbing a can of soda from her fridge, "but enough about me. Why are you here?"
"Ratio gave me a gist of what to do," he answered, "we're going to The Luminos tomorrow night. They're having a gambling tournament, and I'll be sure to crush them by participating in it."
"The Luminos? That's the casino that scams people, isn't it?" Y/N raised a brow, cracking open her soda.
"Yeah. And tomorrow, I'll be doing all the work. Well, most of it," Aventurine grinned, "you just follow me, and be prepared for any sudden fights."
Y/N stared at him for a second as she took a sip of her soda, then shrugged, "sure then. Why not?"
"Lovely," Aventurine hummed before looking around, "by the way, do you have any SoulGlad?"
Y/N stared at him with an 'are you serious' look, "you're asking someone who lives in a run-down apartment for SoulGlad? What, do I look like a five-star bar?!"
Aventurine blinked twice, then grinned, "maybe."
"... That's it. Get out of here."
"W-wait, I'm sorry!" Aventurine held his hands up and laughed nervously, stepping back with each step Y/N took towards him, "c'mon, Y/N!"
"Nope, nope, out you go," she shooed him away.
"Okay, okay, I'll see myself out," Aventurine walked towards the door, "I'll pick you up tomorrow at seven."
"Okay," Y/N waved her hand dismissively.
"Wear something nice."
"I don't have something nice."
"I'll prepare you something nice," Aventurine smirked, "stay at home and expect a delivery tomorrow at twelve."
"Hey, you don't get to tell me what to do!" Y/N argued, but Aventurine waved his hand dismissively as he exited her apartment.
"Bye bye, Y/N!"
Y/N groaned, rolling her eyes. She was definitely not excited for tomorrow.

ok, but, like Female Katakuri reader in Ror, maybe?
-You were perfection, powerful, strong, a natural leader, had an aura of respect about you, and you were very beautiful. Many desired you but you never showed any interest, refusing all proposals before they even had a chance to ask you! -You used your Haki to your advantage, avoiding situations you wanted nothing to do it, much to the dismay of your admirers. -You were a powerful warrior, able to take on almost any challenge head on, using your abilities with your natural talent and Haki, and your Devil Fruit ability, so you received many challenges. -Challenges were something you accepted, not proposals, as you enjoyed the thrill of the fight, especially if your opponent was strong. -If your opponent was strong, you would try to not use your Haki to give you an advantage on predicting moves, because you wanted to enjoy your fight. If they were weak or not worthy of your time, you ended the match as quickly as possible. -You didn’t speak much, preferring to just watch, but those who knew you, knew that when you spoke, they listened, trusting your judgement if you were to speak on something. -You were very popular with both men and women, men desiring you and women admiring you, but you never seemed to pay them any mind, unless if they were related to you. You doted on your younger siblings so much, protecting them and being the best big sister you could, which made your admiration grow in the eyes of others. -You were very strict about your afternoon snack, taking the break every day at the same time, and if you were late for it, especially if someone made you late for it, you weren’t happy. -That was something you made a friend with, Jack, who also had a strict tea time, and while you were hesitant to enjoy your snack time with him, you eventually did after a few months. -Jack judged you on your actions and your soul, not for your looks, he didn’t mind that you were part fishman and had a gaping mouth full of teeth that you kept hidden by most. -Many knew about your mouth but knew not to bring it up as you were quite self-conscious of your mouth, due to your childhood when you had been treated so cruelly by not only other kids but by your mother. -Jack found it enjoyable to find someone to enjoy his tea time with, as you would compare drinks and treats- he found it adorable on how much you loved donuts. The face of bliss when you would eat a donut is one that only he would get to see, and to him it’s the best treat of all, because it allows your true personality shine through, and not the one you put up for everyone who looks up to you. -When you were announced as one of the fighters for Ragnarok, the gods were beside themselves, as you had been beating them in sparring matches for years, and they could tell that you were holding back! There would be no way for the gods to win if you fought!!! -Zeus begged Brunnhilde, on his knees, to pull you from the competition, stating that it wouldn’t be fair if you fought. -With her hands on her hips, she told him that he agreed to humanity vs. the gods, and you were human, despite having fishman blood in you and being way stronger than most of the gods in Valhalla. -The only way Brunnhilde was going to pull you is if the gods called off the tournament and turn around to be the gods they should have been since the beginning. -While not pleased with her tone and harsh words, deep down, he and the gods all knew that they had been very cruel to humanity, their creations. -Zeus wasn’t going to cancel at first, until he saw you training, using just your hands and you cleaved massive boulders into two pieces, showing off a little bit, something Brunnhilde asked you to do. -While disappointed you wouldn’t get to fight in Ragnarok, you did get to meet some really strong warriors you hadn’t fought with in Valhalla before, like Lu Bu and Thor, who were both more than happy to get a good fight in. -You were happy that humanity was going to survive, as it meant your family was going to be safe, and to you, that’s all that mattered.
