Imagine: Charlie was your best friend, but she gets killed by the Stynes
Sam and Dean x Sister!Reader
Warnings: death, violence, angst
A/N: I wanted to go deeper into this and show the different stages of grief/the effects of the trauma/ how deans words would end up effecting the reader as well so maybe it calls for a part 2?? I don’t know so lmk if you like this and also please request!!! I’ll write about anything:)))
“Who’s gone?” Sam asked, panicked. His face scrunched with worry and his jaw dropped with fear.
“Sam, who’s gone?” You asked scared of the expression on his face.
He looked at Dean with fear before looking back to you, “Charlie.” He whispered as he brought his hand over his mouth. Your heart dropped.
“I don’t friggin believe it! You got Charlie involved with this again and now she’s missing?!?” He screamed. Your heart was pounding and you were frozen in fear, breathing heavily. You heard Sam’s phone vibrating and he picked it up.
“Charlie where are you?!” He asked frantic waiting for a response back. You jumped up, looking at Sam. Your whole body shaking in fear. There was a pit in your stomach telling you something just didn’t feel right.
“If you have the book give it to them!” He shouted to her over the phone.
“Charlie has the damn Book Of The Damned!?” Dean yelled, angrily. Sam was distraught, shushing Dean.
“Then give them your notes Charlie! Give them the code— whatever they want!” He yelled into the phone.
You were breathing heavily unsure of what was happening on the other end, but Sam’s panic made you extremely nervous. Dean yanked the phone from his hands and started walking towards the door.
“Charlie I don’t know what the hell is going on, but you need to listen to me. Give whoever that is whatever they want. You understand?” He asked as he ran up the steps. You ran behind, flinching when you heard him shout, “Charlie?!”
——-
Dean spun around the corner into the parking lot of the Blackbird Motel. You opened the car door before Dean even stopped it and leaped out of it. You fell onto the hard, wet asphalt and scrambled back up. Your whole body was trembling and felt like jelly when you tried to move. With every step it felt like your legs were going to collapse under you from the rush of adrenaline. The immense fear you felt was like no other and you just had the worst gut feeling ever.
“Y/N!” You heard Dean yell.
You knew it wasn’t a good idea to run into the room blind with no weapon on you, but it was like your body moved without telling it to. You only had one thing on your mind and it was getting to Charlie. Sam and Dean charged after you with their guns raised. The door to her room was already open and you bolted in. You looked around confused, not seeing her until you heard Sam. He was looking into the bathroom.
“Oh God,” he gagged and covered his mouth. Dean rushed over immediately and then stopped in his tracks. His face fell.
“Charlie?” Dean said, weakly.
Your heart dropped and you ran towards them. Sam immediately turned around grabbing you by the waist and held you back from seeing the scene that was in front of them. No, you refused to believe it.
“Charlie?” You yelled, feeling sick to your stomach.
Dean turned around with tears in his eyes to look at you. Your body trembled viscously.
“NOOO, NOOOOO!” You screamed, fighting against Sam.
“LET ME SEE!” You shouted pounding against him, but he wasn’t letting up.
“LET ME SEE! LET ME SEE HER!” You shrieked, trying to scratch and claw your way out of his arms to see your best friend, someone who became a big sister to you.
“CHARLIE?!?” You screamed, needing to hear her voice. Instead, it was met with complete silence.
“CHARLIE?” You sobbed, giving into Sam and collapsing into his embrace. You knew she was dead. Dean’s face gave it away as he stood there in shock and you saw Sam bite back throw up before he turned to grab you to prevent you from seeing the massacre of your best friend.
“She’s gone,” Sam whispered, confirming her death
“NO!” You screamed, feeling the veins popping out of your neck.
“No, no, no, no, no,” you sobbed into Sam’s chest, gripping onto his jacket.
He held you close to him as you cried hysterically. You felt his chest rumble as he let out a few sobs as well. You looked up to Dean and saw him leaned against the door frame with his head pointed upwards. His eyes were squeezed shut, but tears were pouring down his cheeks. Sam turned to Dean, “we’ve gotta get out of here,” he said hoarsely. The Stynes were still out there and out to kill the rest of you.
“I’ll go put some of this stuff away in the car.” He said softly, motioning to Charlie’s things all over the room. You nodded and sat down. Sam left to the car and you sat there in shock. It felt like time stopped and you couldn’t picture a world without Charlie in it. You had to see her. You knew you shouldn’t, but you had to see her. You rushed to the bathroom door but rammed right into Dean’s chest as he blocked your view to her. He grabbed you and pushed your face into his chest. “You don’t want to see her,” he mumbled.
“Dean please let me go, I need to.” You cried.
“That’s not how you’re going to want to remember her. I’m telling you right now kid, this is your warning.” He said, clenching his jaw. He knew it was for the best if you didn’t see her, but he knew it wasn’t right to withhold you from it. He’s grieved more than enough people so he knew how it felt to feel like you had to see someone like that. He wasn’t going to interrupt your grieving process, but he also knew it never helped.
“Please Dean,” you whimpered.
He sighed, released his hold on you and stepped to the side. You stood back for a moment, pausing, unsure of what your next move should be. Dean hung his head low as you walked into the bathroom.
You gasped when you saw her. She was laying in the bathtub with blood everywhere. You fell to your knees as the sobs wracked through your body once more. Dean squatted down behind you and pulled your back into his chest.
“Charlie,” you sobbed, “I’m so sorry Charlie.” You cried, looking at her.
You were going to be sick. You pushed out of Dean’s arms and crawled to the toilet. As soon as you picked up the lid, you started projectile vomiting. You felt Dean hold your hair from your face and start rubbing your back. Sam walked in and pinched the bridge of his nose seeing your state. You finished throwing up and wiped your mouth. You turned your body and sat back against the wall, exhausted.
“I had to see her Sammy,” you whispered.
His expression softened, “I understand sweetheart.” He knew all too well, but his heart broke knowing his baby sister was at her point in life where she had to experience it as well.
You stood up with tears streaming down your face, glancing back at Charlie one more time before walking out.
——-
Your face was puffy, your eyes were bloodshot and you had bags under them. Tears continued to flow down your cheeks no matter how hard you tried to stop them. You were setting up the wood for Charlie’s funeral. Sam and Dean came into your view carrying her body and you felt a crushing blow to your chest. You just couldn’t believe that it was the end of your intelligent, brave, and courageous best friend.
They put her body on top of the wood and you watched the fire ignite. You stood in between Sam and Dean as Sam spoke.
“Charlie we’re going to miss you, you were the best. And I’m so sorry-“ Dean cut off Sam.
“Shut up.” He said. You looked up at your brother in shock before he continued, “you got her killed.“
He shook his head, “you both did.”
You felt like you couldn’t breathe. You couldn’t handle him saying that to you. You were already thinking it, but him absolutely confirming it for you made you feel like the worst human being alive. You burst into tears, covering your mouth with your shaking hands.
“Dean!” Sam said, appalled that he would say that to his sister who was clearly in so much pain already. He could handle whatever Dean had to say, but you didn’t deserve it. Not a single bit.
You felt like you were going to die at any second and you could hardly catch your breath. Sam immediately took you into his arms, trying to comfort you.
“We were trying to help you Dean.” You sobbed in between your breaths.
“I didn’t need help! I told you to leave it alone. But you didn’t. And look where that got your best friend.” He stated coldly.
“And I would trade places with her in a second!” You cried out. “Do you think I DONT hate myself for what happened to her?” You bit your lip trying to not let a sob escape you.
“I’ll nev- I’ll never forgive myself, Dean. This is going to weigh on me for-“ you gulped, tears still streaming down your face, “for the rest of my life.” You whimpered.
“What were we supposed to do? Just watch you die?”Sam asked.
“The mark isn’t going to kill me.” Dean stated.
“Dean you’re all we’ve got, of course we were going to fight for you because that’s what we do.” Your voice broke.
Sam started, “listen, we had a shot-“ Dean cut Sam off.
“Yeah, you had a shot. Charlie’s dead.” He said, looking between the both of you “Nice shot.” He scoffed.
You bit the inside of your cheek and looked away as more tears threatened to spill over.
“You think I…” Sam started but paused trying to collect his emotions. “You think I’m ever gonna forgive myself for that?” He questioned Dean.
“You know what I think? I think it should be you or Y/N up there— not her.” Dean said harshly. You closed your eyes and bit the inside of your cheek harder, tasting all of the blood as you gently nodded. You agreed with him. You should have been the one who died instead of Charlie. She never deserved this, but you did. You should be in her place.
“And I’m going to find the person who did this and I’m going to rip apart everything and everyone they’ve ever loved and then I’m going to tear out their heart.” Dean said.
“Is that you talking or the mark?” Sam asked.
“Does it matter?” He responded and walked away.
Once you knew he was gone, you collapsed onto the ground. Dean said you didn’t have the right to apologize or say anything to Charlie, but you needed to. She was your best friend. She was your sister. She was family. You crawled as close to her as possible until you felt the fire burn your skin.
“I’m so sorry Charlie!” You cried. “You didn’t deserve this.” You choked back. “You were my best friend, you were the sister I never had. Thank you so much for always being there for me.“ You said, tasting the tears in your mouth. “I’ll miss your nerdy dorky self too much, but I’ll go to every convention for you and I know you’ll be there, right next to me because there’s no way in hell you’d ever miss one.” You chuckled through your tears. “I’ll forever love and miss you so much.” You whispered, before standing up. You turned to Sam and he reached out to you. You relaxed into his hug while he rubbed your back.
“We’ll get through this bug, you’ll always have me.” He whispered.

Hand-to-Hand Combat
Jaydick Week Day 1 and 4: Reverse Robins + Talons/Court of Owls @jaydick-week​
[PART 1] [PART 2] [PART 3]​​
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[PART 1] [PART 2] [PART 3]​​
*sobs* I FINISHED IT. ... Kind of an idea I had for a while... it was only suppose to be Page 3, but then it got longer... and longer... and longer... ;w; I actually also have a Bonus ending couple of pages I’ll add later when I finish fjioejlksefkle Much love to @nerd-by-definition​ and @allthatsentimentalcandyfloss​ for love and support ;w;
Here is Bluejay (lol my agendaaaa) Jason, put on recon ONLY because the rest of the Batfam doesn’t want Jason near danger and action after they lost Dick [mumbles and suitable amount of time] ago. He runs into a Talon, who’s just a kid, so Jason thinks he’s got a chance. Plus he’s antsy from just sitting all night!
Notes and Easter Eggs:
1) I’ve been calling this version of Talon!Dick a Cockroach for a while now lol starting with this post
2) Talon!Dick’s eyes have become yellow, so I changed his speech bubble colour to reflect that as well
3) Talon!Dick is left handed for no good reason
4) I used so many references for this, especially because action scenes are not my forte lol Gusari’s works were inspiration and references for a lot of them
5) Blackbird refers to Damian in this AU
6) Jason probably would be the best at hand-to-hand combat. Maybe not in his young age right now, but Dami would be able to notice his unpolished skill uwu
7) Originally, I had Jason’s line about being the best at H2H combat talking about how Talon!Dick was good, but he never trained with Batman himself... xD and then realized I couldn’t do that because teeeeechnically, Dick has lol
It’s nearly 2am as I queue this lol I’m sorry if none of this makes any sense :3

The rain poured out of the sky as the windshield wipers beat against the tune coming from the radio. The announcer had called the song “Bye Bye Blackbird” and it sounded like it was coming right from a phonograph, rather than the state of the art audio system that was in the limo. Fizz sighed as he stared out the window at the bright lights and apartment buildings. “ . . . We’ve arrived at the penthouse. Aren’t you going in?” One of the hellhounds said from the front. They had been parked outside for a minute and Fizz had made no signs of leaving.
He sighed again, “Yeah . . . I am.”
The elevator rose higher and higher, and Fizz couldn’t help feeling nervous. More than anything, he wanted to see Ozzie; just cuddle him in their big bed together and forget this night ever happened, but he knew there were questions he’d need to answer first . . . and Oz might tell him to go sleep somewhere else, after. Maybe permanently . . .
Ozzie turned around to see the glass elevator arrive, Fizzarolli inside, looking down, “Fizzy! You’re back! What took you so long, babe? Why did you stop answering my texts? Are you hurt anywhere?” Fizz let him inspect his arms, legs and body. Ever since the incident, he’d gotten even more overprotective of him.
“Hi, Asmodeus . . . I’m fine.” Fizz said, looking away from him.
“Oh, sh*t. Something serious happen?” Oz turned his chin to look him in the eyes.
Fizz couldn’t help it, he started crying, “I-I f**ked up, Ozzy. . . I f**ked up bad. Please don’t hate me.”
Well, that was concerning, but he was home safe and whatever it was, he clearly already regretted it. Asmodeus sighed, and scooped him up into his arms, a relieved and empathetic look on his face, “I could never hate you, Fizzy frog, come here. It’s late and we should both get some sleep.”
Once in their room with the door closed, Ozzy set Fizz down on the bed. He grabbed some tissues, and knelt on the floor, and holding Fizz’s face, dabbed the tears and snot off. Fizz leaned into the giant blue hand, and kissed it, looking up at Oz shyly.
“I need to tell you what happened. And it’s okay if you want to kick me out after. I-I’d understand.” Fizz sniffled.
“D*mn girl, what has got you this upset?” Ozzy said, sitting on the bed next to him.
“You know h-how, when we started dating . . . we agreed this was an open relationship, mostly so you could keep up appearances of being the great ‘Lord of Lust’, big daddy to many, not just me, right?” Fizz started.
“. . . Uh-huh.” Ozzy did not like where this was going.
“And I told you that I never expected you to have romantic feelings for me, like at all, let alone a monogamous relationship, so I was fine sharing you with however many people it took, as long as we were together.” He fidgeted with his hoodie.
“Uh-huh.” Oz tried his best to keep a neutral face.
“And I also said that while I appreciated the permission to go fooling around if I wanted, I didn’t really need it, because no one could satisfy me the way you could anyway, right. You remember that?” Fizz peaked up at Ozzy.
Asmodeus, trying to hold back tears, squeaked, “ . . . Uh-huh. . .”
“Ozzy . . . are you okay?” Fizz put a mechanical hand on his knee.
Oz burst into tears, “You’re leaving me aren’t you?!” He sobbed.
Fizz was taken aback, “What?! NO! F**k no! Never!”
“I sent you off on a date to get the press off our backs, and you met someone you can love publicly, and now you’re leaving me!!!” Oz put his face in his hands.
Fizz jumped up on his back, putting his arms around his shoulders, “Awe, Oz. You don’t need to worry about that. I’ve told you; I don’t mind keeping us a secret, really! It’s kind of hot, actually.” Fizz snickered.
Ozzy sniffled, and looked over at him, “Then . . . what happened? You saying you got dirty with someone?”
Fizz jumped off and landed in the middle of the bed, “No! Well, sort of. Just a makeout sesh! A really. . . really, erotic make out sesh. It was all so sudden! I didn’t know what to do!” He sighed, “Still, I should’ve talked to you about it first. You text me before getting frisky with other demons. At the very least, I should have done the same, if not more. . . I’m sorry.”
There was a pause, and then to his extreme surprise, Asmodeus giggled, “Are you . . . laughing?”
Ozzy laughed heartily, then took a breath to say, “This is the serious news you had to tell me?”
Fizz blushed a bit, confused, “Well, yeah, I mean- I kinda cheated on you. And even if the relationship is open, I didn’t communicate and-”
He was interrupted by Asmodeus laying down, and placing Fizz on his chest, “Well, yes. And maybe I should be mad, but honestly, I’m relieved that it wasn’t something worse. Plus, I thought you’d started seeing other people ages ago.”
Fizz sat up on his chest, “Wait, what?! What the f**k gave you that idea?”
Ozzy smiled, “When you said no one else could satisfy you, I just thought it was a line to get me into bed with you. Which did work, as I recall.”
“Yeah, I remember. That was the night we tried ********* ***** ***** **** for the first time.” Fizz smiled wistfully, “Those were good times . . .”
Ozzy chuckled, “Right, and I’ve seen you flirt with some of the succubi here, as well as the dancers and security at the club. . .”
“That was just for show! To throw people off our scent!” Fizz defended.
“Yes well, I figured you were getting nasty with them in your down time, both for press and for fun. We even winked at each other while you flirted around.” Ozzy shrugged.
Fizz groaned, “Because you and I were in on the secret! Not because I was about to f**k ‘em!”
“I never minded, Babe! I started doing the texting thing because it made me feel better to be totally open with you. I never wanted to make you feel like I was hiding things from you or that you were beneath me as an imp and a sin. I just did it to make sure that you knew we stood on equal ground. But I figured you not texting before you got down on someone else meant that you felt completely secure in my trust in you. It kind of made me happy actually.” Ozzy paused to giggle, “But now I know that you haven’t had s*x with anyone else? This whole time? And the first time you do anything dirty, you come home crying thinking I’ll dump you over it? It’s adorable!”
He squeezed Fizz in a hug as he started laughing again.
“Haha, right . . . So you aren’t mad? Even a little?” Fizz looked up at him.
Ozzy began taking off Fizz’s jester hat, and Fizz let him, “Not at all, babe. Though, I do feel kinda dumb for not confirming whether or not you were screwing anyone else. Could’ve saved us some trouble. I guess that’s why they say the thing about *sses and assuming.”
Fizz purred a little as Ozzy stroked his head, “It’s fine, and I’m sorry for not being more clear about my intentions from the start. I’m glad we could work this out.”
Ozzy grinned, taking Fizz off his chest so he could roll over on his stomach. He waved his legs in the air, and placed his chin in his hand, “Sooooo, who’s the lucky guy who you almost got lucky with~? Or lucky gal? Or otherwise lucky . . . hotshot?”
Fizz blushed, and rubbed the back of his neck, “Guy, and uh- Ahem. . . you remember that guy I used to hate for blowing me up? And then I told you about how he kind of saved my life, blew me up again, and saved my life again?”
“Blitzo?!” Ozzy was shook.
“Blitz, actually. And it's a long story." Fizz looked down, blushing.
"Oooo~ do tell." Asmodeus scooched a little closer.
Fizz snickered, "Okay, okay. So . . ."

All relationships are different, be they monogamous or otherwise, and I am no expert on the subject. So don’t use this as a reference point for anyone else’s relationship. All I did was listen to a podcast, that was the extent of my research, so I do apologize if I misrepresented anyone in any way. Some people may not like them in the hierarchical polyamorous relationship that I’ve put them in. And that’s okay; you can disagree. This is the only time it came up in the story anyway, so I hope it doesn't deter you from reading it. Thanks <3

Come Back To Me - Epilogue
Billy Washington x OFC
[Masterlist]
Warnings: 18+ Language and Smut.
Author’s Note: How are we feeling after the photoshoot, pals? Are we okay? Have we gone insane? Have we gone completely feral? It came just at the right time for the epilogue…
This is the last instalment of Come Back To Me. Thank you all so much for your support with this story - as I have said before, sharing my writing has been very nerve wracking but you have all made it so worth it! Your kind words have meant the world, and I feel much more at ease to share more in the future.
Billy and Ida occupy such a lovely little corner of my mind, and I must admit I’m sad that this fic is over. I’m glad that my version of Billy has been received so well, and that Ida has been so accepted by you all! Maybe in the future, I’ll write more about the pair of them. Send any suggestions, requests or ideas my way! Here goes…

Billy stepped off the train and was met by the gentle smell of foxglove, campion and cow parsley. May, ten months after Cranstead Fields. Spring in Woodwell was in full bloom; bunting was strung from the village pub, swifts split the air with their wings, and scent of suncream was brought in with the season’s first tourists.
Billy breathed deeply the fresh air, shouldered his bag and followed the few other passengers that had left the train to the station steps. Flicking his glasses off his head and onto the sharp bridge of his nose, he rounded the corner into the warmth of the sunlight and began the short walk home. A sharp whistle rang through the evening air. Billy was grinning before he even turned around.
“Where you heading?” Her hair was lit by the setting sun. Billy watched insects flutter in the hazy light around her, and occasionally a robin or blackbird darted out to feast on them. Billy knew they were catching dinner before settling in for the night, but it looked as though she had summoned them herself. His wild thing. As she leant against the door of her car, a seductive smirk played on her lips, whether she knew it or not.
“Got a girl waiting at home,” he replied, walking slowly towards her.
“Lucky thing,” the woman snaked her arms around Billy’s neck and leant against the car, bringing him with her. Billy laughed as he kissed her. He pulled away and she pulled him back. He laughed once more, kissing her between chuckles.
“You’re insatiable.”
“If you only knew,” she smiled against his lips. “How was it?”
“I fucking hate the city.” Billy stood back to admire her. “You look nice.” She blushed and flattened her skirt a little. He moved towards the passenger side but was stopped by her voice.
“You’re up, big boy.” She threw him the car keys and laughed brightly, touching his arm as she passed him by. “You feeling up to it?” Billy kissed her cheek and nodded. He opened the door to the driver’s side, glancing around at the spring scene. Taking a deep breath, he sat down. The leather of the steering wheel creaked as he gripped it. He checked the mirrors, checked his seatbelt, and leant over to check the glovebox. A hand snapped out to grip his wrist.
“You’re ok,” she said soothingly, rubbing the skin with her thumb. Billy swallowed, nodded almost imperceptibly, and started the engine.
*
After the events at Cranstead Fields, Billy wouldn’t go near a car. Couldn’t. The smell of leather or petrol made him gag. A single thought about driving saw him dissolve into a sweating, sobbing frenzy. For a while, he got the bus, train or even walked between his parents’ house, Ida’s flat and his weekly therapy sessions at the hospital.
Through it all, he and Ida talked about leaving the city. Sofia and Faisal had launched into their wedding plans, and Ida offered to move out so that they may begin married life alone. They had protested, but really, Ida was keen to start her own life. She had never felt quite at home in London. She craved the wild intensity of the country. Of the coast. To be bustled about by the wind and rain rather than the city dwellers.
Billy, too, found London life stifling. There were too many painful memories lurking around every corner now. He remembered once telling Ida that she had outgrown him, outgrown their life on the outskirts of London. But now, he felt he had joined her. Every day he felt the tips of his fingers yearning to reach out and grab something. What that was he wasn’t sure, until Ida burst into the flat one day beaming from ear to ear. A heritage charity based near Dungeness had heard about her work from one of her PhD tutors. Impressed by her dedication to teaching, they offered her a position and cottage in nearby Woodwell. Not a month before Ida earned her PhD and they moved to the cottage, Has appeared on the Washington’s doorstep. Was Billy around? He had recently left the service citing “bad knees and enough adrenaline to take him to the next millennium” and had started a charity using sport to help rehabilitate military veterans. And so, Billy found himself studying sports therapy with funding from Has’ charity while helping veterans find community in the form of weekly football matches.  
The winter months passed them by in a blur of packing, teaching and exploring. Billy hadn’t been able to face the two-hour drive from London to the village, and so when Sofia and Faisal finished helping them load the moving van, he boarded the train and met them at little Woodwell station. He had felt ashamed, childish and heartily embarrassed. Recognising the first signs of Billy drifting too far into his own mind, his three closest friends boosted his ego by asking him to carry the heaviest boxes.
Slowly, with the help of Ida, Billy was gradually reintroduced to driving. When they first moved to the village, Ida drove them to nearby beauty spots so that they might explore, fuelled by picnics or flasks of soup. Occasionally, Billy drove. Only short distances, dropping Ida at the train station or grocery shop. His first big journey was to Dungeness, thirty minutes away. They stopped three times to calm Billy’s nerves and Ida had driven back, but boy did she reward him afterwards. When spring first arrived, Ida took him to a drive-in cinema to see Casablanca. Only last weekend, they’d been to watch dirt track racing with Lana and Thom. Ida was determined to rewrite his memories of driving with happy ones. Today was no exception.
*
“Mum and dad send their love,” Billy said, his arm resting against the open car window. He looked at Ida briefly and winked. Not long after Cranstead, Ida visited the Washingtons and apologised for her behaviour the day of Billy’s birthday. She still stood by what she said. Perhaps, just not the way she said it. Water under the bridge. That’s what Jeff had said. Ever since he nearly lost Billy, he was a changed man. Quieter, gentler.
“Did you see Gran?”
“I did, actually. She was heading out with her fancy man!”
“Maybe we’ll have another wedding to go to!” Ida laughed, but the idea of her grandmother finding happiness after all she had been through filled her heart with starlight. “Turn left here.” Billy did as he was told, mind flooding with images of Ida in a white dress. They turned onto a narrow country lane lined with high hedges.
“Where are you taking me, woman?”
“It’s a surprise! Left again at the end of the lane.” Ida reached behind her to grab her bag, and Billy swallowed hard when the slit of skirt parted. She had gained some happiness weight since their move to the cottage, and fuck he loved it on her. The flesh of her thighs looked so soft and beautifully warm. She pulled down the passenger mirror, applied some lip balm and teasingly puckered her lips at him.
Billy barked a laugh. “You’re an idiot.”
Ida wound down the window and Billy saw, from the corner of his eye, her hair whip about her face in the breeze. He placed a hand on her thigh, and Ida felt the first frisson of excitement fizzle there. “See that track, up the hill?” She rasped, fighting to keep her emotions in check. “Just up there.” Billy removed his hand to change gear. Ida could still feel the heat of where it had rested on her. The car hobbled over the track and broke through a clearing of trees. Woodwell came into view at the bottom of the valley. From their vantage point on the hill, the ocean could be seen on the horizon, hazy in the evening light. The swifts were still screeching overhead, and Billy watched as a few deer pranced in a field below.
“Ida-”
“It’s beautiful, isn’t it!? I told that old lady in the pub, you know, the one that always sits by the fire? Never takes off that fur coat? Well, I told her that we were new to the area and exploring, and she told me about this place. Apparently, it’s the best place to see the stars and no one comes up here!” Before Billy could open his mouth to reply, Ida dashed out of the car and round to the boot. She opened it up and came back with blankets, pillows and a flask of hot chocolate. “It’s not quite summer yet, hey?”
Billy gazed at her. His girlfriend. His best friend. His Ida. “I love you.”
Ida stopped pouring the hot chocolate and looked up at him. “Where did that come from?”
“I’m just making up for lost time.” And it was true. Billy was making up for all the lost I love yous he should have given Ida over the years.
“I love you too.” Her breath caught. His smile barely left his beautiful face these days. “I didn’t think it was possible to love you as much as I do, but it just keeps growing.”
“Don’t be soft,” he laughed, though his eyes watered and his hand moved to cradle her face and bring her into a tender kiss.
For an hour or so they sat with their seats reclined, watching the sun descend beyond the sealine and stars rise to freckle the navy sky. They spoke about plans for the cottage. Ida wanted to paint the door red; she had always dreamed of a house with a red door. Billy had already made work on the garden, planting the sweet pea seeds Gwen had given them and the nasturtiums that hung in baskets by the door. Billy had plans to build Ida a little reading nook at the far end of the garden, under the willow tree. The reason was selfish. Ida loved to read, but he loved watching her read more. The way her mouth twitched into a small smile, or tears glazed her eyes. The unusual positions she sat in, legs propped up against the table while her hair dangled over the back of a chair. No matter how closely Billy would come to know Ida, she forgot the world and herself when she was reading.
Every now and again, Billy turned on the radio to see what music was playing. When Say You Love Me played he sang along, and Ida had to fight every urge to kiss him senseless. The night was dark now, the only light coming from the moon, stars and dim car dashboard. Ida poured the last of the hot chocolate into their flasks and handed one to Billy. She watched his lips curve around the cup.
“I’m so proud of you, Billy.”
He smiled. “What for?”
“For so many things. But today, the driving.”
“Couldn’t have done it without you,” he finished the last of his drink, placed it in the footwell and reclined once more in his seat, cushioned by pillows and blankets. Ida did the same, lying on her side to look at him. “’Rewriting the memory’ for me.” He finished, quoting her.
Ida’s voice was low when she replied, not once looking away from his face. “I’m not finished with you yet.”
Goosebumps of anticipation spread over Billy’s skin, and suddenly he felt shy. “It’s getting cold,” he whispered, though he knew full well his goosebumps weren’t caused by the chill air.
“I’ll warm you up.”
Billy swallowed.
In the reclined passenger seat, Ida leant on her elbow. Her face was still turned towards Billy, and she was thankful that the red light of the car was dim; she didn’t want him to see the nerves so brazenly decorating her cheeks. What he had said was right, Ida was insatiable. She had always loved sex, even more so now that she had Billy, and Billy’s body. But part of Ida was terrified by that side of her. She had always struggled to reckon people’s view of her as serious and studious with the free and lusty person she knew she could be. It was something she so often read in her books, sadly; women have minds or bodies, not both. She pushed the thought away. She had been waiting for this all day, had planned it for longer, and nerves were not going to ruin it. Ida pulled one of the pillows between the reclined seats so that she wouldn’t fall into the well between the two. She really had planned this. Ever so slowly, she leant towards Billy. He tried to keep composed but his eyes widened, just a little, and a bolt of confidence shot through Ida.
“You’ve been so good,” she whispered in his ear. Ida ran her nose down his neck, saw his pulse quicken and bit the taut skin of his collarbone before running her tongue back up his to his ear. “So, so good.”
“Fuck,” Billy’s breath staggered. Ida leant her arm against the head rest of Billy’s seat and lowered herself so that her breasts pressed against his chest, bringing her lips to his in an open, languid kiss. Billy hummed when her hot tongue skirted over his lower lip. She pulled back. Through heavily lidded eyes, he watched her gaze as it flickered hungrily to his lips. She ran her tongue over them once again but gave him nothing more. As Billy raised his head to chase her kisses, he caught sight of her hands untying the knot that held her skirt together. Ida had worn it intentionally; this was the same outfit she wore that first night when Billy turned up at the flat, rain-soaked and hungry for her. The thin fabric fell away, leaving Ida in her simple top and a pair of lace knickers that barely covered the ample flesh of her bottom. Her body, exposed to the cold, tensed and Billy found his voice.
“I’ve not seen these before,” Ida swung her leg over his hip as he said this, and his hands flew to her waist. She hovered over him, arms either side of his head.
“Well, you’ve been such a good boy,” she smirked. “You deserve a reward.”
Billy’s hips involuntarily bucked, desperate to meet hers. Ida laughed and, agonisingly slowly, pressed her clothed core to Billy’s hips. He moaned as she ground against him. She could feel just how painfully hard he had become through the rough fabric of his jeans.
“Already hard and I’ve barely touched you.” Billy whimpered as she dragged her core over his bulge. The grip he had on her tightened as he helped to rake her hips across his. Ida moaned at the friction the rough fabric caused on her centre. Continuing to roll her hips against Billy, she took the hem of her top and pulled it over her head. She felt a rush of power as Billy’s pupils blew wide with lust. He reached out a hand to cup one of her full breasts, the bare flesh warm under his hand, its pink nipple hardening instantly as his fingers ghosted over it. Ida rolled her hips once more, the action pushing her breasts further into his touch. Billy reached to grab the other, and he marvelled at how perfectly they filled his hands. Ida moaned, tipping her head back and rubbing her clothed pussy needily against him.
“Fuck, Ida.” His large hands trailed down her sides and came to rest on her thighs. He gripped her hard, holding her in place against him. Billy watched as she lifted her arms to tie back her hair. He didn’t think he could get any harder but this angle granted him the perfect view of the curve of her breasts, and he watched as they bounced a little with the movement of her tying her hair.
“Your tits are incredible,” he whispered, smirking. Ida giggled and rolled her hips to silence him. Billy’s head fell back against the head rest and he scrunched his eyes shut. His arousal was beginning to hurt. “Ida. Please.” Without warning, her weight disappeared from his hips. I didn’t want her to stop! Billy’s eyes flew open to be met with Ida’s face a hair’s breadth from his.
“Patience, my love.” She kissed him again, this time with hunger. She wound her hands into his hair and tugged. She rubbed her body across Billy’s. She moaned wantonly into his mouth, and Billy was seeing stars. When Ida broke away to bite at his neck and rub her hand across the swollen bulge of his trousers, he almost sobbed.
“No, no don’t go!” He was desperate now, pleading as he watched her return to her seat, kneeling to face him. Ida slid a hand into her own underwear, lips parting as she used her fingers to release some of her arousal. Billy watched, frozen, as Ida pleasured herself opposite him. He stared with burning intensity as one hand worked at her core, the other massaging one of her pink nipples. Each whimper and moan from Ida’s lips sent Billy further into madness and his breath became ragged. All those lonely years of moaning her name shamefully as he pleasured himself, of keeping his sinful thoughts at bay when she didn’t know he was watching her closely. To think now, that she had always wanted him as much, and that he could induce this kind of reaction in her only made him love her more. Want her more.  
“Take them off,” Ida commanded breathily, indicating to his trousers. Billy fumbled with the button and zip of his jeans. Hooking his thumbs in the waistband, he shoved them roughly to his feet along with his boxers. His cock was freed and Ida felt her core clench. It was rock hard, the tip swollen and glistening with precum. She wanted nothing more than to have him inside her, but that wasn’t part of the plan. Yet. Billy’s breath hitched, his mind dizzy. Bending forward, Ida brought her face to his length and ran her tongue its shaft.  
“Oh fuck,” Billy’s head flew against his seat, then snapped backto watch Ida work him. She ran her tongue along him a few more times, savouring the scent of his arousal as she did so. Spit coated her lips and, lit by the red light of the car, her eyes bore a wild glint as they stared into his. She looked like she was going to devour him. It occurred to Billy that she probably would, and his stomach twisted with excitement. No sooner had Billy come to this realisation were Ida’s lips on him and he gripped the seat belt with white-knuckle focus. The sensation of her hot mouth around his cock caused his hips to buck and she hummed with pride, the vibrations sending pleasure straight to Billy’s balls. He was transfixed as Ida bobbed her head, hollowed out her cheeks and took him into her mouth as deeply as she could.
“I swear to God every man dreams of this.”
Ida released him from her mouth and smiled. Pure and proud and so eager to please. She wrapped a small hand around him and pumped his length a few times, watching as precum dripped from his tip. She brought her tongue to lick it away from his slit and enveloped him with her swollen lips once again. “You taste so good,” she said when she next broke for air, before going back for more. Every now and then, she would stop to sing more praise between ministrations. “You’re so big,” “Your cock’s so pretty,” “I can’t wait to have you inside me”. That last almost had Billy spilling into her mouth. His chest heaved with staggered breaths, the act doing nothing to ease his light-headedness. A few more times Ida swirled her tongue along the tip of his shaft, her hand working at its base. When she finally released him with a sloppy pop, a trail of saliva connected his cock to her mouth and she wiped it away with the back of her hand. Billy brought his hands to rub his face, as though he were dreaming.
Ida’s plan was to drag his pleasure out for as long as possible, but my God did he make it hard for her. Watching him, a panting, quivering mess before her, did nothing to quell the throbbing between her legs. Sitting back in her chair she hastily removed her underwear and straddled Billy’s hips. Ida grabbed him by the shirt and yanked so that he was forced to sit up.
“Take this off.” Billy obeyed. He discarded his shirt and brought his hands to run along Ida’s sides. Ida, in turn, ran her hands along his chest. The toned muscle, each little freckle, the sprinkling of hair and the chain that hung around his neck. Her core throbbed again. “Are you ready for your reward?” Billy nodded eagerly. Excitement curled in both of their cores. Hands moving to grip her behind, he helped guide her as she lowered herself onto him. It took everything for Billy not to thrust up into her. For a moment, the pair paused; Ida’s mouth open, Billy’s own lips parted as he watched himself disappear within her. The tight heat of her pussy overwhelmed him momentarily, and he bit his lip to contain the whimper that threatened to escape him. Instead, he focused on Ida. Her brows were tight with concentration, lips parted as she sank further onto his cock. When he was fully inside her, she shuddered. “Billy,” she breathed. “You feel amazing.” They kissed each other desperately. Billy was silent for a while, utterly intoxicated by Ida. No woman had ever loved him this way. He understood how he could let people down with his actions, this last year had shown him that, but that was his doing and under his control. And yet, whenever he had opened his heart to someone before, shown them the most vulnerable parts of him, as he was in this moment with Ida, they were unsatisfied and unsatiated. Near the end of their relationship, after yet another loveless encounter with Becky, he snapped.
“Why bother when you detest being near me? Why not go and find someone else to fuck?” He spat bitterly at her.
“Shut up, Billy.”
“Don’t talk to me like that!”
“It’s not my fault you’re a dreadful fuck. You’re mind is always elsewhere. With her.”
“No it’s not-”
“Maybe we’d both enjoy it more if you imagined I was Ida.” She said nastily. In that moment, Billy wanted to hurt her. How dare she sully Ida’s name like that. Drag her into their mess.
“Get out.”
Ida ran her hands through Billy’s blond hair. “Hey, are you ok?”
“S’good,” Billy swallowed. “It’s good. Please don’t stop.” Ida raised her hips before bringing them down on him. Billy groaned as she sank on to him over and over, any thoughts of Becky and his worthlessness fading. The slow pace that Ida tried to set didn’t last long. Every flex of Billy’s muscles as he held on to her, every grunt that rumbled through his chest drove Ida into a frenzy and she wildly slammed her hips onto him. Heat from their bodies steamed up the cool windows of the car, and sweat was forming on Billy’s forehead. He frowned, jaw clenched as he focused on Ida’s body. Her plump flesh glistened with sweat, a few beads running between the valley of her breasts which bounced mesmerically as she fucked him. Her hair, still tied up, was coming down around her face and plastered to her cheeks. From this position, Billy could just about see himself disappearing into her with every thrust, her slick arousal coating their thighs.
“What’s that grin for?” Ida panted as she looked down at him. An idea had popped into Billy’s head. In one fluid movement, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled himself to a sitting position. Ida made the most of this new closeness and kissed the underside of his sharp jaw. Billy smiled and kissed the side of her head, before reaching behind her.
“What are you doing?” she asked again.
“Patience, my love.” He echoed. Still holding her steady, Billy reached his hand for the rear-view mirror, angling it down. “Perfect,” he whispered to himself before laying back in his seat. “Keep going,” he nodded to her. Ida looked over her shoulder, and at the mirror, before turning back to him.
“You dirty boy,” she smirked. He huffed a laugh back.
“Move,” he whispered.
“Only if you say please,” Ida whispered back, rocking her hips just a little.
“Please.” Ida gripped onto Billy’s shoulders for purchase and resumed the quick pace of her hips. Billy’s eyes travelled from her breasts to the column of her exposed neck as she tipped her head back, to the rear-view mirror. There, he watched the ripple of Ida’s backside with every slam of her hips. The moan that escaped Billy was obscene, as was Ida’s when his hands gripped the flesh of her cheeks and pulled her harder onto him. How he wished he had moved the side mirrors before the condensation settled on the windows. Seeing her from every angle awoke the animal in him, and soon, Ida was no longer in control. Billy grabbed Ida roughly and pulled her flush against him. She squeaked in surprise, and Billy brought his foot up to brace it above the footwell. This new angle gave him greater control over the harshness of his thrusts and the pace of their fucking. As he took one of her breasts in his mouth and resumed pounding into her heat, Ida cried out. Billy brought a hand to hold her waist down on him, and the other ran gently up her back to hold her neck. Ida sighed at his touch and he released her breast from his mouth. Billy ran his thumb across her bottom lip. Bliss was etched on her face. She took his thumb into her mouth and sucked gently.
“Oh my god, Ida-” He removed his hand to kiss her fervently. “You take me so well.” Ida whimpered against his lips. “It’s like you were made just for me.”
“Billy,” his last admission sent joy straight to her centre and pleasure to her core. “Billy, I’m close.” His thrusts sped up and the hand that had caressed her face found its way to her sensitive bundle of nerves. Anything for his Ida. He grazed his thumb over her clit and Ida’s hips bucked unsteadily. She pressed her forehead to his as she ground herself harder on him, desperate for any friction she could find. “Harder,” she moaned. Billy gripped her waist so hard that she knew she’d bruise. One hand on the steamy window, the other on his chest, Ida forced herself frantically down on him. The car was creaking now, though the sound was barely audible over the slap of their skin and lusty moans. Billy’s hips juddered, his pace becoming sloppy. It was over for Ida the second Billy released a few deep grunts with every thrust into her. Blinding heat spread through her body, every inch of exposed skin crackling with electricity. She cried out, tensing around Billy as an earth-shattering orgasm washed over her. Through the haze of her climax, she heard him rasp her name and felt the heat of his seed leak out of her. Looking down through half-lidded eyes, she watched him shudder beneath her, eyes tight shut, biting down on one hand while the other braced against her belly. They stilled, both shaking as their paroxysms of pleasure died away.
“I love you,” Ida said simply, smiling down at him. Billy giggled.
“I love you too.” When he giggled again, Ida joined in. His happiness was infectious. Billy patted his chest and she lay there while he remained seated within her. A few minutes passed while they caught their breath.
“The lady at the pub told you about this place?” Ida hummed a yes. “I’ll have to tell her thank you.”
*
Woodwell, a year to the day that Ida saved Billy’s life. Having left the car at the end of the lane, Ida walked to her and Billy’s little cottage laden with flowers and a cake fresh from the bakery. The pink evening sun was still warm, and Ida welcomed it on her face. From over the clematis border Ida heard music and, rounding the corner, found Billy sat on the front step with her Grandad’s guitar. A glass of beer was forgotten by his feet as he strummed, the chickens digging up weeds happily around him.
“Hey you,” she said softly. He looked up at the sound of her voice and smiled. “Give us a hand.” Ida gestured to the flowers, which Billy took and carried the table in the garden. There was still a lot of work to do on the cottage, with wood and tools stacked against Billy’s worktable. But for today, it would do. Just like at The Swan, Billy had strung fairy lights from the trees. The table was set with glasses and a few bottles of wine, and next door’s cat was already curled on one of the seats, enjoying the last of the day’s sun.
“How long until everyone gets here?” Ida was determined that today would not be one of unhappy introspection and had invited their families over to spend it with them.
“Lana and Thom should be here in about half an hour with Sofia and Faisal. I think mum and dad are bringing your gran for about 6ish?”
“We’ll have to be quick then.” She winked and ran into the house. Billy watched her go, stunned momentarily before coming to his senses. Dropping the flowers hastily on the table, he sprinted across the yard, scaring the chickens and slamming the red door behind him.
“You alright, my love?” Val had asked Ida when they arrived later. She took Ida’s face in her hands and examined her red cheeks and the slight sheen on her forehead. “Your colour’s up a bit.”
“It’s all this country air,” Gwen said from behind her.
“Something like that,” added Sofia, causing Lana to cackle.
“Hush,” Ida whispered to her friends, placing the cake on the table. She watched as everyone began to assemble around the her. The clink of glasses and plates took up. Lana and Sofia continued to giggle, Billy was making Thom and Faisal laugh, and Gwen and Val were  chatting about the garden. Jeff sat in a chair at the end of the table, looking around just as Ida was. When they caught each other’s eye, they smiled gently at each other. Here were their favourite people, happy and altogether. That was enough for them.
Ida dashed into the house for her camera. She hadn’t forgotten, not this time. Unlike all her other photos, she had already picked out a frame for this picture. She stood in the doorway that led from the kitchen into the garden and raised her camera, snapping everyone before they realised she was there. None but billy heard the click of the camera. He looked up, and Ida was quick to take the picture. Her Billy, smiling that lopsided, boyish smile, his hair ruffled and glowing gold in the summer sun. Looking at her as if no one else was around. As if she were the last woman in the world. Ida lowered her camera and smiled back it him, and for a few moments they watched each other.
Billy winked and held out his hand. He was happy, and if any memories of last year were intruding on this moment, he didn’t let it show. With Ida at his side in their little corner of the world, Billy Washington felt for the first time in his life that maybe, just maybe, he was going to be ok.
Note: Woodwell is a village that I made up! And just in case people aren’t familiar with heritage charities (there are a lot in the UK), they generally look after sites of historic interest through research, arts, sciences and public engagement. Quite a few of them are historic properties and have places to live in for the people that work there.
Thank you so much for reading and for all the love. As I said before, any ideas that might make Billy and Ida appear again are welcome!

Playing with Blackbirds
summary: caught in a storm the trio is forced to pull over and sleep in the car. in need of attention, dean wakes raven.
warnings: dom!dean. little hint of voyeurism. consensual non-consent.
words: 2.1k
a/n: this has literally been sitting in my drafts for like three years so it’s high time i finish it and post it. i wrote this for a very dear friend of mine, hence why the character is named. but really you could imagine it's yourself or anyone of your choice in the back seat of the impala with dominantpassionatesexgod dean.
Tumblr media
At first, she thought it was the sound of the storm that had woken her. It was black outside, an endless void that the lightning illuminated for seconds at a time before it plunged back into darkness.
Raven had woken with a start, her body jerking up so she was propped up on her elbows, her eyes straining to see through the black. Years of hunting had conditioned her to react like this: to always be on edge and to assume the worst. Where was her gun? What was attacking her? Was she going to die today?
It took a minute for her heart to settle and for her to remember that she was safe. Well, as safe as she could be given that she was sleeping on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, in the back of a car with the Winchester brothers.
Groaning in annoyance, she dropped down until her back was pressed against the leather seat. Raven fumbled around on the floor for her phone, cursing softly until she found it. She regretted turning it on. The sudden brightness made her eyes water.
2:45am.
"Fucking hell."
She’d only managed to fall asleep an hour ago.
At first, the gentle patter on the roof had been soothing, giving the woman some kind of euphoria. It was a hard emotion to explain. It was almost like all the hurt, pain, and bad memories were washed out of the world with the downpour, like tomorrow would be a fresh start.
But as the minutes dragged on and the sky sobbed harder, reaching a thunderous roar, it became anything but soothing. The wind howled loudly like a banshee, whipping the car hard enough to make it rock, which just made sleeping that much more difficult. It made her skin crawl.
Raven shut her phone off and tossed it aside, so she was shrouded in darkness once again. There was no way she was going to be able to get back to sleep now.
And then the real source of her disturbed slumber made itself known: a pressure on her right thigh, just above the knee, that sent her mind careening through the events that had led to this moment.
The trio had been forced to pull over when it had become impossible to see the road, and the second the Impala was pulling off the slick asphalt, Sam was calling dibs on the front seat. Dean and Raven had been banished to the backseat for the night, which wouldn’t have been so bad if they weren’t at each other's throats.
It wasn’t unusual for them to be this way after a botched hunt; this time a skinwalker had escaped, slipping from their grasps like water through their fingers. And because of it, all three of the hunters were in a foul mood.
Raven had curled her knees against her chest, her arms wrapped around them, and her head resting against the window. She’d tried to make herself as small as possible, which wasn’t so hard given that she was already tiny in comparison to the brothers.
Dean had done the same on the opposite side of the car: arms crossed against his broad chest, head down, and legs on his side. But after not even an hour, they had both spread out, stretching life back into their stiff limbs.
Now her legs were across his lap, and she knew that it was his hand on her thigh, burning a hole through the denim of her jeans and down to the bone beneath tattooed skin. Her brow creased with uncertainty, and worry wormed its way into her thoughts.
Was something wrong?
"Dean?" Her voice sounded small, almost impossible to be heard above the thundering rain, even to her own ears. A minute went by with no response, and she started to think that maybe she’d imagined his hand moving up her leg. Dean was just resting it there while he slept, nothing more, but then it was moving further up her body, to the apex of her thighs, where he gripped her mound firmly, making her stomach tighten.
"‘bout time you woke up." His voice was low and husky, thick with lust, and she could hear him smirking. Her mind failed to figure out what game he was playing right now. It wasn’t like she hadn’t ever considered sleeping with him. They had shared enough flirty looks and filthy jokes to make a prostitute blush, but neither had shown much of an interest in anything more than that.
She and Dean were friends. That was it.
Raven wasn’t opposed to the idea of fucking him and giving him the ride of his life in the back of Baby, but his brother was literally right fucking there, less than two feet away.
"What the hell are you doing?" She tried to keep her voice firm and keep the tremor from it. She squeezed her thighs together, trapping his hand between them and halting his explorations.
He growled softly, the sound causing heat to pool between her legs as his other hand gripped her ankle hard enough to bruise it. "Open ‘em." He said, well, ordered. Raven could feel her panties becoming soaked from his dominating tone and touch.
Dean was all fire and heat, his hard voice leaving no room for argument, but...
Raven shuffled, trying to sit up and get away from him. She didn’t like the position he had trapped her in and how it gave him an advantage over her. She wasn’t some meek, fragile damsel that needed protecting. She was usually the one in charge, the one calling the shots in and out of the bedroom. This was unfamiliar territory, and it was as frightening as it was exciting.
But one of his large hands splayed possessively against her stomach, causing her internal temperature to rise until she thought her organs might combust. Dean pressed his palm down, keeping her pinned as he shifted so that he was kneeling and hovering over her.
His hand was still trapped between her thighs, his fingers digging in until her breath hitched and came faster.
"We can’t."
"I said open them." His voice was harder this time, his deep baritone making a delicate shiver run down her spine. Raven squeezed her thighs tighter together in stubborn resistance.
"Dean-"
He ripped her legs open without warning, earning a surprised squeak from the woman. The elder Winchester wasted no time popping open the button of her jeans and pulling the zipper down. Raven squirmed beneath him, trying once more to escape but not really wanting to. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to sleep with him—just not here.
"Let's make a deal, Raven." He leant in closer, his lips fluttering against hers teasingly as he spoke. "If you’re not wet already, I’ll stop. If you are, then I’m going to fuck you until you’re cumming on my cock. Deal?"
Her heartbeats quickened at his words. No, she didn’t like this game because there was no way she could win. Raven could feel how wet she was for him and how her body was preparing for his touch and his invasion.
She pushed against his shoulders. "Dean. Come on, you've gotta stop." Her whispered words faltered as his hand entered her panties, strong fingers pushing through her folds, feeling how slick she was for him.
"Fuck." He breathed out. "You’re so wet. All this for me, baby?"
Raven gave a mewling moan and sucked her lip into her mouth, biting it nervously. Their eyes met in one of the brief flashes of lightning, and in that instant, she knew she was done for. Those olive green eyes were dark with lust, and she found that she couldn’t resist him for a minute longer.
Her gaze flicked to the front seat, where she knew Sam was sleeping but couldn’t see him. Dean slipped a finger into her weeping entrance, and her hand flew to the back of his neck, dragging him to her so she could smash her mouth against his and stifle her moan.
Her hands were everything then, touching and ripping the shirt from his shoulders. His fingers pumped in and out of her wetness, the other hand working the buttons of her flannel shirt open so he could attack her tits with kisses and bites. He ripped her pants down her legs, leaving them wrapped around her knees.
Their touches were impassioned but awkward. The backseat was too small for them to spread out and strip the other naked, and it was hard to thoroughly explore the other's body, but that didn’t stop either of them.
Dean added a second finger to his assault on her core, and she arched her back to give him easier access, moaning his name into the kiss because the feeling of him stretching her was amazing. His thumb pressed hard on her clit, flicking it roughly as he drove his fingers in deeper, making her walls clench and suck him in.
Raven moaned harder, her teeth seizing his lip in a bite that had him growling. Their breaths mingled together, fogging the windows, as her hands explored the expanse of his chest, tracing every scar he had. She found one of his nipples and pinched it hard, making his fingers falter.
"Fucking tease." He muttered, and she laughed.
"So says the man feeling me up while his brother sleeps a foot away."
Dean drove a third finger into her, making her scream out loudly. He smothered her mouth with his opposite hand, cutting the noise before it got too loud, but he didn’t slow his thrusts. He used his entire arm to drive his fingers into her cunt, making her tits jiggle, and the wet sounds filled the car, even if it was hard to hear over the rain.
She was close. He could feel her walls tightening and then releasing and tightening again. "Quiet, baby. You don’t want Sam to wake up and see you like this, do you? All wet and hungry to cum? Or maybe you do. Maybe you want us both to take you. Really fill you up."
Raven was getting dizzy; his hand on her mouth made it harder to breathe, but it only drove her high and made her climax that much stronger. She came hard, her walls convulsing around his thick fingers, screaming into his palm, her nails digging into his shoulders.
He kept the pace the same and didn’t slow down as she came tumbling down from her high. He finger-fucked her through her orgasm, making it last longer than she thought possible. When she was done, a panting, writhing mess beneath him, Dean withdrew his hand, making her whine because she suddenly felt so empty.
A flash of lightning lit up the car. Dean was licking her slick from his fingers like a hungry kitten. It made colour creep up her neck and into her face, and it made her core clench hard around nothing. "Dean..." Her voice was drizzling with lust as she fumbled with his belt.
Dean grunted and slapped her hands away before making quick work of his belt and jeans, which he shoved down his hips. "I got you, babe."
He grabbed her legs behind her knees and practically folded her over. Raven gasped and then moaned when she felt his hard erection prod her wet folds.
He pushed her knees harder into her chest, pinning her, so that all she could do was clutch the seats, her nails scratching the fabric and leaving it marked. He rubbed the underside of her shaft against her, nudging her clit with his head until she was trying to buck her hips and get him inside her.
"Eager little thing," Dean mused before slamming inside her until her balls slapped against her arse and he was buried to the hilt. Raven screamed out, forgetting she was meant to be keeping quiet. She hadn’t felt so full before; his cock stretched her open, pressing against every nerve ending and then some. Her nails dug harder into the seat, her breathing coming faster, and when she wriggled against him impatiently, Dean knew it was time to move.
He drew back slowly, inch by inch, until only his swollen head was inside, and then slammed back in, making her cry out again and the car rock with the force. Her nails dug into his skin, raked down his back to pull him closer, her mouth on his, their breaths mingling together as he pistoned into her.
Neither of them noticed Sam watching in the mirror as he violently fisted his dick.

Telling the kids, something was wrong with their mother who’s beaten death over a thousands of time felt like hell. One of the few things you could remember was your son TJ sobbing aganist your chest begging you to tell him that the doctors wrong about the diagnosis. Lizzie laid her head on top of her father’s shoulder , weeping . Hearing the sobs of her children almost made her break apart even more than already had.
Surely right, you were only 58 years old, lived a somewhat healthy life. So why is death knocking on your door tonight?
You, Demetria Rose Kazansky have a date with death a person your very familiar with. Unlike the other times you and him talked , this time he told you werent making out alive this time.
You felt your life crashing down into pieces, you couldn’t remember a time you and death talked and he didn’t spare you.
You stood shell shock , staring at a painting of you and Tom both in your naval dress blues holding hands. There a detail you remembered by heart, you and Tom were equals in your marriage, you wanted to follow stereotypes and take pictures in a dress, Tom wasn’t having it and told you,“we both protect and serve , we both wear the uniform”.
You wanted to be Demetria Kazanksy again.
Ever day Alzheimers won aganist your brain making you forget about important and simple things.
The biggest thing you forgot was about Carole Bradshaw’s death, in your mind the woman was alive and healthy.
You and Carole talked for awhile she told you about how her and Goose were doing.
Walking in on this Tom felt his heart be repeatedly shattered with pain. Here’s his wife deteriorating and losing against death and their nothing he can to do stop it.
—-
Carole visited you again but this time you could feel the looming sadness coming off her.
“sweetie come with me when your ready” she told you grabbing your hands with tears sliding down her face. Before you could ask her what she meant she was gone back into the light.
The diease won in the end , you and Tom were in bed with your head against his chest.
“I love you the most”
“I love you til death do us apart” you whispered so softly as your voice lacked its usual base from all the crying you did earlier.
He kissed you one more time, your chest was taking awhile to go up and down,you and Tom both knew was this meant.
You never questioned Tom’s love for you, tonight he needed for you to remember this.
“I love you my darlin” he switched from being behind you to being next to you, gazing into your dark eyes.
Your dark eyes shut with one more final look at the man you loved with your entire heart.
Tom stood infront of a podium in his dress blues, talking to crowd of people at your funeral about you. Talking about how much he loved you was easiest task in the world, letting you go may never happen.
You walked across the aisle of people in uniform and people in black. You caught the sight of your granddaughter Rosie sobbing alongside her uncle and mother.
The look of Ron Kerner and Pete Mitchell crying made you take a double glance.
You walked towards your husband Tom touching his cheek lightly, kissing him on the side of his face.
He looked to the side“she’s right here with us in life and death. The tiniest tear fell down his face, he could’ve sworn he felt a kiss against his cheek.
“i’m ready Carole”, she wiped a tear from your face , wrapping her arms around your shoulder.

cw: agressive fluff
"hey, are you really this happy 24/7?" he scowls at me. "are you this grumpy 24/7?" i ask in return, pinching his cheeks. "yeah, but you already knew that." he says, slapping my hands away. "yeah, yeah, crabby face." i blow a raspberry at him.
"oi, look at my notes. i made them extra pretty because you were dozing off. figured you'd need them later." i push the wire-bound notebook towards him, flipping it open to the dog eared pages of today's class. he takes it from my hands, our fingers slightly brushing and i pull away too quick. "oh, thanks. i'll click pictures so that you can study later." he replies, pulling his phone out. "its okay! you can take it if you'd like. it's a pity i never study at home." i try to wink, but i fail and it looks uncool as heck.
"yeah, yeah. you never study. and you still manage to come out among the top 5 of the class during tests." he retorts. "oh well, i just write what i remember from class. if its correct it helps me score more!" i smile at him. he snaps my notebook shut and puts it in his bag. "hey, since you lent me the notebook, let me buy you something." "oh? what do you want to buy me?" i chuckle, not expecting a proper answer.
"i don't know, you want to get dinner or something?" he asks, nonchalantly. "you. want to get dinner. with me." i blink at him. "who are you and what have you done to my best friend?" i poke his cheek. "hey, let me be nice to you while it lasts. you want to get dinner or no?" he grabs my hand, not letting it go. "you keep doing these favours for me. let me do something for you too. i know i'm not that nice but, hey, you can let me try. please." he blushes, his voice shakier than normal. i realise that my face has turned beet red too and my heart is racing.
"i mean, its fine really, you don't have to do it because you feel obligated! i don't even need the notebook for a few days now-" "do you want to get dinner? yes or no? its a simple question." he cuts me off, his beautiful eyes staring right into my soul. "i... uhm, yeah. yeah. sure." i stammer out a reply. "see, that wasn't so bad." he lets go of my hand and gets up from his chair.
"where do you want to go?" he stretches, his hoodie riding up and showing a perfect strip of skin. i turn my face away before he realises that i'm gawking. "i don't know, i'm feeling indecisive. what do you want to eat?" i ask, trying to not yell out in happiness and utter disbelief at the fact that i'm getting dinner with my crush at his request. maybe all those times of being annoying and initiating contact really paid off.
he takes my hand and pulls me up from my chair, tugging me along with him outside of the classroom. "there's this new place near my dorm, i went there a week ago and its good. they do fried chicken, japanese food, and desserts. you said you'd been craving karaage and gyoza so maybe we could get those." he doesn't realise it, but i'm willing to eat out of a trashcan if it means i get to be with him. "yeah, sounds great." i smile at him, my heart full of love for this grumpy idiot.
🫀(blackbird)
ps: please excuse any and all mistakes augh! i'm okay now! i'm sorry if this one seems rambly, i didn't put much thought into it. i've been consuming too much romance anime lately and i need a break. i've been reading the mortal instruments too, and i looove magnus bane sooo much. the tv show did his hair dirty. if you ever post snippets if your book, do let me know! :)

Blackbird in Dun Laoghaire – a poem by Joseph O’Connor
Blackbird in Dun Laoghaire was read by Joseph O’Connor at the funeral of his sister Sinéad O’Connor ::
There’s a blackbird in Dun Laoghaire When I’m walking with my sons Through the laneways Called ‘The Metals’ By the train-tracks.
And he sings among the dandelions And bottle-tops and stones, Serenading purple ivy, Weary tree-trunks.
And I have it in my head That I can recognise his song, Pick him out, I mean distinct From all his flock-mates.
Impossible, I know. Heard one blackbird, heard them all. But there are times He whistles up a recollection.
There’s a blackbird in Dun Laoghaire – And I’m suddenly a kid, Asking where from here to Sandycove My youngest sister hid. I’m fourteen this Easter. My job to mind her. Good Friday on the pier – And I suddenly can’t find her.
The sky like a bruise By the lighthouse wall. We were playing hide-and-seek. Is she lost? Did she fall? There’s a blackbird in Dun Laoghaire And the terror’s like a wave Breaking hard on a hull, And the peoples’ faces grave
As Yeats on a banknote. Stern as the mansions Of Killiney in the distance, As the pier’s granite stanchions, And Howth is a drowned child Slumped in Dublin Bay, And my heart is a drum And the breakers gull-grey.
The baths. It starts raining. The People’s Park. And my tears and the terns, And the dogs’ bitter bark. There’s a blackbird in Dun Laoghaire, And I pray to him, then, For God isn’t here, In a sobbed Amen.
And she waves from the bandstand, Her hair in damp strings, And the blackbird arises With a clatter of wings From the shrubs by the teahouse, Where old ladies dream Of sailors and Kingstown And Teddy’s ice-cream.
And we don’t say a word But cling in the mizzle, And the whistle of the bird Getting lost in the drizzle. Mercy weaves her nest In the wildflowers and the leaves, There are stranger things in heaven Than a blackbird believes.
– Joseph O’Connor, 2010

Day 28. "You're safe now"
TW: Mentions of torture, Questoning of one's sense of reality, attempted suicide
Charles didn' know how long he had bee there. The grey stone walls of his cell had become his new reality. Every day, he would wake up and fall asleep with the sight of them. His captors never moved him from the cell, instead, they would come in and beat him, cut him and leave him bleeding. Many times Charles had thought, that he would die from his injuries, when the wounds became infected and he was delirious with fever. But every time, his captors brought him back.
They would not let him escape, not even by death.
They wanted to use his powers for their gain, they wanted the power to control anyone and everyone. And for that, they had to break Charles. But unfortunately for them, it would not happen. Charles' mind was his greatest strength. It didn't matter to him if his body was broken over and over again, those people would never break his mind. Charles just hoped that his captors would realise it sooner, rather than later and this all would finally end.
And end it did, just not how Charles had anticipated.
He was woken up by the door slamming open. The last day had been a hard one and every small movement caused him pain. So, he just curled deeper into himself on his thin mattress on the floor, hoping that whatever his captors were about to do would knock him quickly unconscious.
What he got instead, were careful hands running over his body, before he was pulled into someone's lap. Charles whined, as the movement made the pain of his body flare up.
"Charles?" The voice was familiar and Charles had to open his eyes to believe what he was hearing.
"Erik?" He was met with worried green eyes of his friend. "How..?" How was Erik here? No one shouldn't have even known that Charles was gone. He had left the school, he hadn't contacted anyone in any way.
"That's not important." Erik told him, holding him a little closer and stood up, his arms under the telepath's legs and back. Charles managed to move his aching arms around Erik's neck and rested his head against the older man's shoulder, breathing in his scent.
Erik carried him out of the room and the bright lights of the corridor forced Charles to close his eyes. He could smell iron in the air suggested just how violently Erik had forced his way into the prison.
"It's okay Charles." Erik murmured to Charles as they made their way through the corridor. "You're safe now." And it was only after those words, that Charles let himself go, letting the tears that he had been holding in for all this time to run down his cheeks as he sobbed quietly.
It was finally over.
But suddenly, he was let go and he fell on to the floor and Charles screamed in agony from the pain that the impact caused him. There was laughter and when Charles managed to push himself slightly up and open his eyes, he saw it was coming from Erik. It was disturbing, the voice was Erik's, but it didn't sound like him. Charles felt the terror grow inside of him. It was wrong. This was all wrong!
And like that, he snapped awake. He was still in his dimly lit cell, laying on his thin mattress and his body bruised and beaten. No Erik, no eerie laughter, no smell of blood. It had been a dream. A nightmare.
It dawned on Charles then, that his mind might not be as invinsible as he had thought.
...
The second time it happened, they made it outside. Charles was able to feel the fresh air and wind on his face for the first time in forever. It had felt so real that he had wept. And then he had woken up in the damned cell once again.
The third time it hadn't been Erik, but his students, his X-men, who had found him. They had been horrified to see their former headmaster in such state. They had gotten him out and in the blackbird. Hank had been there too and taken care of Charles' injuries. Charles had told him how sorry he was for everything that had happened, and this time, Hank had forgven him. Charles had cloaed his eyes as a huge weight felt like it had been lifted from his shoulders. When he opened them again, he was alone in his cell.
The fourth time, he had thought he was going to die from an infected wound on his back. The fever had made him delirious, and then he awoke in a strange infirmary. Erik was by his side and told him everything was alright. He had fallen asleep and woken up in that same comfortable cot multiple times, every time feeling a little better. Until one time he woke up back in the cell and for a while, he had thought that it was a nightmare. But no, it was the reality, and he didn't see that infirmary room again.
The fifth time, he had been adamant not to believe in his rescue. He fought Erik every step on the way, while the other man assured him that he was real and that Charles was finally safe. That he was free. Charles started to hope that it might be real after the first week he had spent in Genosha. Whatever drug his captors had given him had started to finally wear off and he had felt Erik's mind again. But right after that, he woke up in his cell again.
The sixth time, he stabbed himself with a kitchen knife and woke up.
The seventh, he drowned himself in a bathtub.
The eighth, Erik prevented him from shooting himself. They had both cried afterwards. Erik from the scare and Charles from the impossibility to know what was real anymore. Erik had stayed with Charles at all times after that and days went on. As Charles dared to hope that this time it might be real, the next morning he woke up in his cell. Again.
He had screamed until his voice was gone.
...
When Erik had heard rumours of a rogue mutant group that was causing trouble in the USA, he had started to keep a close eye on them. He could tell that they would be trouble and that was the last thing he wanted to bring to Genosha.
And eventually, he had heard that the group was building a some kind of a weapon to use against the humans. That was exactly what he would have been doing when he was still young and stupid. And it was somethig, that would most likely cause their people more harm than good.
So he contacted Beast, now the headmaster of Charles' school, and joined the X-men on the mission to make sure that the weapon would never see the light of day.
What they had found instead of a weapon, had made ice fill Erik's veins. It had been Charles, bruised and feverish in a dirty and cold cell. He had hurried to his friend's side and pulled him to his arms. The telepath haf let out a small whine as he was moved. He had seemed exhausted and malnourished, way too skinny and light in Erik's arms.
"Charles?" Erik had called his friend's name, trying to wake him up at least a little, if it wad possible.
But Charles had just shook his head slightly.
"No... Please no more..." He had sobbed and tried to push Erik away.
"It's alright Charles." Erik had hurried to assure the distressed man. "It's me, Erik. We're here to get you out. You're safe now." But his words hadn't seemed to comfort Charles. On the contrary, his actions had only seemed to distress the other man more.
It was only in the infirmary of the mansion that he realised just how severe the situation was.
Charles had woken up few times for short perioids of time as he was recovering. Every time he had been convinsed that none of this was real. That he hadn't been saved and that Erik was not actually there.
"He is still recovering, and the trauma might be making him paranoid." Beast had explained. Erik could tell that he was feeling conflicted about the situation. He and Charles hadn't parted ways in the best of terms, but Erik doubted that he would have wanted anything like this to happen to the telepath. The younger X-men were clearly worried about their former professor.
Which was the reason why Erik was relieved that none of them were there when Charles woke up properly.
Erik was sitting on a chair beside Charles' bed and reading a book. He hadn't left Charles' side almost at all on the days that he had been recovering. Only leaving for a quick shower at one point, otherwise, he ate and slept in the recovery room.
The was a grunt from the bed and Erik was in high alert immediately. He closed his book and leaned closer to his friend, watching as he blinked his eyes open. But, to his dismay, he could see Charles' eyes fill with hopelessness once again as he looked around.
"No, no no no..." The telepath almost sobbed and Erik stood up from his chair so they could see each other better.
"Shhhh. It's alright Charles, you're safe. Youre back at the school." He tried to comfort his friend, trying to cover his hand with his, but Charles pulled his hand away like it burned.
"No! This is not real! You are not real!" Charles tried to scream, his voice horase from the lack of usage.
"Charles, please calm down." Erik tried to de-escalate the situation. Charles was clearly still out of it, but the problem was, that now he was bow much more mobile. Erik saw how his eyes darted around, until they stopped at the glass pitcher with water in it on the bedside table on the other side.
Erik didn't have time to move, when Charled pushed himself off the bed, pulling different medical equipments off of him and dropping to the floor, bringing the bedside table and the pitcher down with him.
"Charles!" Erik yelped as he started to round the bed..The pitcher broke into pieces and caused a puddle of water and small shards spread on the floor. Some of them cut Charles, but the telepath didn't seem to notice them, snatching a bigger piece in to his hand instead and brought it to his throat.
"No!" Erik screamed and gripped Charles' wrist which held the piece of glass and pulled it away from his neck.
"No!" Charles sobbed, trying to fight Erik, but in his state, he was bo match to the other man. Erik forced the telepath's hand open and drop the piece of glass and saw small cuts on his palm.
"Just let me wake up!" Charles tried to scream as Erik gathered him into his arms and away from the shards on the floor. His own pants were already getting wet, but he didn't really care as Charles tried to weakly fight him off.
"Please, Charles, this is real. Please believe me..." Erik didn't know how to convince his friend of the fact that he truly was safe now, so he just held him and rocked him, hoping that at least some of it could offer him some kind of comfort.
Charles' energy to fight was soon drained and he just cried silently against Erik's chest, muttering every now and then about how he just wanted to wake up. Every time Erik murmured to him, that he would be there every time Charles opened his eyes again, that this was real and that he was safe.

Hello, another update!! Last time my cousin and I watched BSG we got through Home Part 1 through Epiphanies.
So here's a quick update about her thoughts to all those episodes:
She was ECSTATIC about the Starpollo kiss haha she literally threw her hands up in excitement when it happened then was annoyed when the scene immediately became tense because of Sharon walking in. She thought the kiss was super random but she definitely wasn't mad about it.
Later when Lee talks to Kara in the brig after he had talked to Sharon and tells Kara she isn't the one who should be telling him what to do my cousin said, "brother you literally kissed her." 🤣
She thought the scene where Lee told her he loved her was cute. And she thought it was funny when Kara teased him about it. My cousin was literally the definition of kicking her feet and giggling during this scene.
She was pretty stressed for all the Kobol stuff especially when Elosha stepped on a trap and Tom and his buddy were planning to take out Lee and his dad.
When they found the tomb of Athena and had the vision with all the constellations it just dawned on her that all the colonies were named after the constellations lmao. It took her that long 🤣😭
She still hates Ellen lol she gets so annoyed every time she's on screen haha. She also kind of figured D'Anna was a Cylon so she wasn't surprised to find that out.
She thought the Blackbird was pretty cool. She was annoyed with Helo and Chief fighting over Sharon. She thought it was super cute how everyone signed the ship and they named it after Laura.
She HATED Cain and understandably so.
She hated what happened with Sharon and Helo and Chief and was glad that Thorne died and that Helo and Chief didn't get executed for intervening.
She was SUPER stressed when Kara was given the task to kill Cain and Fisk had the task to kill Bill. As well as Lee just casually dying during all that too. She was so stressed haha and was relieved when Lee got saved and Fisk nor Kara had to murder anyone.
She was glad Gina killed Cain though. She was just glad Cain died haha.
In Epiphanies she really thought Laura was gonna die. She was confused and shocked when Bill kissed her towards the end of the episode.
Also in the one scene Lee and Dee have where their faces ended up close during like fighting practice she did the same thing she had done to Kara and Sam where she went, "get away!" 🤣
She's gonna absolutely hate how those relationships develop and how it'll be both of the pairs she doesn't like.
Also I asked her some thoughts on current ships/couples like which ones she thinks will make it to the end and all and regarding Kara and Lee she thinks they're endgame for sure and I'm just over here sobbing like just wait your opinion on that is about to change real quick and you're gonna be so disappointed/upset 😭
Also at one point where Kara was in danger I made a joke to her about her dying too (this was like after episode where Lee almost died) and she said "she can't die she's a pop figure." And I'm just over here like oh how wrong you are... she's going to be so upset haha
***
Anyway those were her biggest/main thoughts from our last watch session. Today we are going to watch more and I'm so curious because we'll be starting off on Black Market which is bleh but I'll be curious to see her thought on that episode especially since Lee is one of her favorite characters. And I'm also curious to see her reaction to Scar because that is an interesting episode too and pretty Kara centered which is another one of her favorite characters. I also can't wait for her to watch Sacrifice because she is going to be devastated about Billy (in the past episodes at one point she literally said how he can't die and she likes him). She's also gonna be sad about Lee. Like poor Lee can't get a break he gets seriously injured/has near death experiences like 3 times within 5 episodes 😭😭
I am also excited to see her thoughts on Razor!
I'm not sure how much further she and I will make it into season two, I'm kind of hoping we'll finish the season but that's me being optimistic about our time, etc.
I shall keep y'all posted :)

NEW X-MEN: THE ANIMATED SERIES - SEASON 2, EPISODE 1
Season 2 opens in media res as the Blackbird flies toward Genosha. The only ones still on the plane are Storm, Kitty, and Sunspot. While Kitty panics and screams, and Roberto tries in vein to assure her it’s going to be okay, barely maintaining his own plastered smile, Storm is communicating with Captain Britain, who thinks she shouldn’t have left, but Storm insists her priority needs to be getting all the kids home so they can be tended to properly, and securing Nova. 
All three of them uncontrollably go silent as they arrive at their destination and look out the window, Genosha has been completely annhlated, reduced to ash and rubble, with smoke filling the sky. 16 million people, almost all Mutants, potentially including Scott, Jean, Emma, Magneto, and Kitty’s dad, are all dead. 
With Storm blowing away and working to clear the smoke, the three heroes, wearing respirators, rush onto what’s left of the once great Mutant nation. All around them, they seed wrecked buildings and corpses, and Sunspot accidentally steps on and breaks a bone. 
Kitty and Sunspot are barely holding it together as they stand on the site of a holocaust, unable to believe so much death could have taken place so quickly, and struggling to not cry or puke, but Storm, somber and sullen, but keeping her emotions in check for the moment, tells them they can’t break down yet. They have a job to do. There’s a chance some people may have survived, and are just trapped under rubble. They have to do everything they can to find them. 
Before they start searching the whole island, however, Kitty “needs to know”. 
Back at the school, Tag, Wind Dancer, Wolverine, and Bling! stand outside the medical bay. Laura’s face is practically right up against the glass, while Brian has a comforting arm around the nearly-sobbing Roxy’s shoulders. 
Inside, Beast, as well as Dr. Cecilia Reyes, who was called in to help treat everyone else who was wounded in the global battles with the sentinels, are tending to the kids. Cessily and Sooraya are still unconscious, but are stable, Noriko is awake in bed, but can’t stop shaking and looking at her gauntlets, even though all the blood has been cleaned off of them, and Julian is being prepped for surgery. Betsy is also having her wounds treated, with Rachel hugging her,  relieved she survived the battle, but disturbed by what Betsy told her happened. 
BRIAN, to Roxy: “Hey, Cess is gonna be okay. You heard what Dr. Reyes said, right?” 
Roxy just hangs her head. 
BRIAN, to Sofia: “You don’t need to worry either, Sofia. It’ll take more than some sentinel to keep Julian down.” 
Sofia maintains her blank expressions, staying silent, and tiny whirlwinds surround her fists. 
Brian sighs and walks over to Laura. 
BRIAN, to Laura: “You know, a sentinel did come by here. Ms. Grey was all ready to take it out, but I tagged myself so she could get rid of it away from the school. It wasn’t much, but it made me feel pretty good. And I was just thinking about how good all of you must have been feeling taking out a ton of these tincans.” Brian punches the glass. “I’m such an idiot.” 
It’s unclear if Laura heard a word Brian said as her wide eyes continue to stay focused on her injured friends. 
On Genosha, Kitty drops to her knees. The site of her father’s old home has been completely annhilated, along with the rest of its surroundings. It doesn’t even look like there’s a skeleton. 
KITTY: “Daddy…Daddy, I’m sorry. Daddy, please crawl out of there. Please!” 
Storm and Beto try to comfort her, but they phase right through her. 
KITTY: “Did you know in Judaism, it’s believed that cremation results in pain after death? Even if someone makes it to Heaven, the pain doesn’t stop. How could I do this to him? He was my Daddy.” 
SUNSPOT: “Kitty, you didn’t–” 
Kitty breaks down in tears, hysterical. Storm sheds her own tear, wishing there was something, anything she could do for her daughter. But there’s nothing she can do but push forward. Ororo instructs Beto to stay with Kitty, and get her on the Blackbird once she’s calmed down. She’ll handle the search by herself. 
We get a brief montage as Storm scours the island for any signs of life, but is met with death at every turn. She’s almost ready to break down in tears herself when she hears something rumbling. 
Flying up, she clears away the rubble around where the sound heard like it was coming from. Underneath, she finds Emma Frost, with Cyclops unconscious in her arms, a blank expression on her face, and sporting a new look - diamond skin. 
Storm swoops down and swiftly takes Scott from her, checking his pulse and breathing a sigh of relief that he’s alive. Ororo demands to know what happened here, and what happened to her. 
Emma…isn’t doing okay. 
EMMA, in a monotone: “The path to Hell is paved with good intentions, but over brimstone we must walk to reach paradise. Do you hear them, Ororo? Do you hear the children’s screams?” Emma forms a tiny smile. “I do. And I feel all their pain. How many children are there? As many as the grains of sand on a beach?” Emma’s face falls as she hangs her head. “Yes, Daddy, I am a bad, worthless girl.” 
Storm has no idea what to feel here, or what to stay, so she simply instructs Emma to follow her. 
In the medical bay, Sooraya’s eyes flicker as she wakes up. She struggles to sit up, seeing that Cessily is still unconscious, before she’s told to lay back down. 
SURGE: “The others are waiting outside, but aren’t being allowed in yet. You should rest.” 
Sooraya lays back down, grunting in pain as she expresses how much everything hurts. She then notes that Noriko doesn’t look like she was hurt at all. 
Noriko bites her lip as she looks down at her hands and generates a small amount of electricity between her fingertips. The Sentinels weren’t fast enough to hit her. Physically, she got out of the fight completely unscatched. But seeing her and Mercury nearly get killed? Watching Julian get his hands blown off, and having to grab his bloody nubs to cauterize his wounds so he didn’t die too? It was too much. She’s not okay. 
Dust doesn’t respond for a moment, just staring at Nori. 
NORIKO: “What?” 
SOORAYA: “Julian…lost his hands?” 
Noriko swears under her breath, having forgotten she was down by the time that happened, and confirms to her what went down. 
SOORAYA: “I see.” 
Noriko narrows her eyes at Sooraya. 
NORIKO: “Okay, what’s your deal? I know being all calm and zen and peaceful and quiet is your shit and all, but you should not be that way right now. You almost died! Where’s the panic?!” 
Sooraya sighs. She really wishes she hadn’t woken up next to Nori. 
SOORAYA: “I was hurt physically, yes. And I lack experience in all this directly. But nearly dying? No, that’s not enough to get me. Not with what I’ve seen before. Not with what I’ve done before.” 
Noriko falls back, slamming her head on her pillow. 
NORIKO: “Shit, Soo. I forgot. I’m sorry.” 
Sooraya smirks. 
SOORAYA: “The fact that you’re apologizing for your foolishness at all is a clear sign of progress.” 
NORIKO: “Aww, thanks.” 
PAUSE
NORIKO: “Oh, screw you.” 
On the Blackbird, which hasn’t taken off yet, Cyclops is still unconscious, Emma has passed out, and Kitty is curled up into a ball. Storm and Sunspot are awake and sitting up right, but they need this brief moment of silence. 
The silence is broken as the ship shakes. Storm and Sunspot leap to their feat, unsure of what’s going on as, from an exterior shot, we see the ship being raised into the sky on its own. Storm tells the others to stay put for a minute while she goes to investigate. 
Ororo flies out of the ship and quickly finds the one responsible for its movement: Polaris. 
ORORO: “Lorna…” 
Before Storm can say anything else, Lorna throws the Blackbird, wrapped in green magnetic energy, right at her. Ororo just barely dodges the attack, shouting at Lorna that they aren’t here to fight, and, over the coms, shouting at Kitty to get everyone off the plane. 
As Lorna takes another shot at Storm with the Blackbird, Kitty phases herself, Beto, and the unconscious headmasters out of the plane and onto the former shore of Genosha, while Storm summons a fierce lightning blast to annhilate the Blackbird in one shot, denying Polaris her weapon. 
Storm tells Polaris that she can’t imagine what she’s feeling right now, but she assures her slivers of that pain are shared by them all. Polaris just continues to shout in rage as she drags up rubble from Genosha to throw at Storm. 
POLARIS: “You X-Men killed our nation! It’s only fitting the nation kills you!” 
On the shore, Kitty and Beto are panting. Beto tries to tell Kitty he knows Lorna from his time here and he’ll talk to her, only to be decked across the face by an equally pissed, super fast Quicksilver. 
Knocked to the ground, Roberto is covered in ash. He freaks out as Pietro gets on top of him and begins punching him over and over again. Kitty doesn’t move, only crying out for him to stop. 
In the sky, Storm is exhausted both physically and mentally from the day’s events. She fights against Lorna to the best of her ability, but she quickly runs out of steam and is overwhelmed. 
As Roberto is beaten to a bloody pulp and Lorna traps Storm in a metal cocoon, ready to crush her, Kitty continues to shout, begging for everyone to stop fighting. 
The fighting is brough to a halt, but not by Kitty, as a single blast of red energy flies into the sky. 
Cyclops, having woken up, rises to his feet. 
All eyes turn to him. There’s a silent moment of tension before Polaris and Quicksilver release Storm and Sunspot from their respective grips, flying and running over to Cyclops. 
QUICKSILVER: “You have five seconds to tell us what happened here in a way that makes us want to spare your lives.” 
Scott, standing tall and proud, looks around at his surroundings instead of answering. 
QUICKSILVER: “SPEAK!” 
Pietro slugs Scott across the face, knocking out a tooth, and sending him to the ground. 
QUICKSILVER: “SPEAK NOW!” 
Tears stream down Scott’s face. 
Quicksilver is about to give him the same treatment as he did Roberto, but Lorna puts a hand on his shoulder to stop him. 
POLARIS: “One chance, Cyclops.” 
Scott swallows. 
CYCLOPS: “Magneto is alive.” 
Pietro and Lorna are baffled by how that could possibly be true. Everyone here died! Scott tells them that he and Emma were here when the attack happened. They only survived because Emma developed a secondary Mutation, enabling her to transform her skin into diamond. He only lived because she shielded him from the blast. And before the attack happened, Magneto had disappeared from where he’d been fighting sentinels. 
Pietro calls him a liar. He’s just trying to protect himself this way because he knows this is all his fault! 
Cyclops agrees that he shares blame with Cassandra Nova. Cassandra Nova, who, from the fact they’re here right now, he knows his team defeated. He knows his team defeated her, while he and Emma were saving the world, even if they couldn’t save Genosha. 
CYCLOPS: “Nova wasn’t the first mad woman to try and kill us all, and she won’t be the last. Whatever I’ve done, the mutants of the world still need the X-Men. And you both need us and our resources if you’re ever going to find out what happened to your father.” 
Pietro, breathing heavily, thinks about his offer, before still electing to go in for the kill. However, Polaris holds him back by his metal belt buckle. Lorna agrees that he and his team are still needed, but they will never be forgiven for this. 
CYCLOPS: “I wouldn’t expect to be.” 
With the situation calming down, Storm approaches, offering to do whatever they can to help pay tribute to their fallen. 
LORNA: “If you wish to respect our dead brothers and sisters, you’ll leave this place now, and never return.” 
With no more words, Storm summons a calm wind to lift herself and the rest of the team away, and begin the long flight home. Beneath them, Lorna breaks into tears and cries on Pietro’s shoulder as he holds her. 
CYCLOPS: “Ororo…” 
STORM: “Not now, Scott. Not now.” 
In a private room inside the Institute’s medical bay, Hellion has gotten out of surgery and is awake. All the usual life and energy from his face are missing, replaced by a dower scowl. That’s not the only part of him that’s missing, as his nubs have been wrapped in bandages; they couldn’t re-attach his hands. 
There’s a knock on the door, with Julian growling not to come in if this isn’t a doctor. Beast enters, happy to see him stable, and asks if that attitude applies to ALL non-medical personnel. 
BEAST, with a sly smirk: “Your girlfriend wants to speak to you. She’s been positively worried sick.” 
Julian’s eyes widen, but only for a moment, before he shuts them, clenches his teeth, and shakes his head. 
In the hallway, Sofia and Laura sit outside the private room, both in complete silence. Beast comes out of the room and informs Sofia that, unfortunately, Mr. Keller doesn’t wish to speak to anyone right now. 
BEAST: “I’m sorry. But I’m sure you can imagine what he must be going through.” 
Sofia glares at Beast, small whirlwinds once again surrounding her fists and expanding rapidly as a breeze fills the hallway. Beast is concerned, but before things can do any further, Sofia breathes and halts the use of her powers. 
SOFIA: “I understand, Dr. McCoy. Thank you.” 
Beast, still not entirely at ease, acknowledges her and walks away. Sofia tries to hold Laura’s hand, but, without looking at her, Laura bats it away. 
With the sun rising as a new day dawns, Emma’s woken up and is completely composed, but Storm is still flying her, herself, Cyclops, Kitty, and Sunspot home. Everyone is silent, until…
STORM: “What happened to Jean?” 
Scott takes a moment to answer. He informs her that she’s gone. She wanted Genosha dead, and she wanted them dead with it. Then, she flew off into space. Even if she does come back to Earth, the Jean they knew doesn’t exist anymore. Now and forever, she is Phoenix. 
Storm finally allows herself to breakdown and cry over the loss of her sister on top of everything else. Scott wipes his own tears from his eyes with his arm. 
EMMA, telepathically to Scott: “It isn’t the type of advice I usually give, but if there were ever a time to let your emotions out freely, it’s now.” 
SCOTT, telepathically: “You’re not my therapist, and I don’t want your advice on anything. Especially when you’re not even following it.” 
EMMA, telepathically and mockingly: “Oh no, you caught me, I’m as devastated on the inside as the rest of you. I have a heart. Sew me. But I do what’s best for me, and you should do what’s best for you.” 
SCOTT, telepathically: “You don’t know the first thing about what’s best for me.” 
Emma scoffs. 
EMMA, telepathically: “A “thank you” for saving your life would have been nice.”
As Storm continues to sob, Kitty hugs her. She was comforting her all night, and she wants to return the favor. But she also needs help. Her father’s body may be good, but he still deserves a funeral as soon as possible, as per Jewish tradition. 
KITTY: “Maybe working on that would help keep our minds off everything else?” 
Storm sniffles as she smiles and nods. 
STORM: “Yes, Kitty. I’d be happy to help.” 
In the back of the pack, Roberto is literally steaming, hate in his eyes. 
Storm, completely exhausted, lands the team in Central Park. They can walk from here. However, as the other four members of the team start heading toward the school, Beto walks in the opposite direction. 
CYCLOPS: “Where do you think you’re going, Sunspot?” 
SUNSPOT: “Relax. I’m not quitting or anything. But you’ll excuse me if I need a couple weeks to myself. I’ll be back soon. Try not to miss me too much.” 
Scott calls after him as he departs, but he doesn’t have the energy for that right now, and let’s him go. 
In the medical bay, Roxy excitedly hugs Cessily, thrilled her new girlfriend is okay. She does accidentally hug a little too tight and hurt her though. Brian is also inside the medical bay, helping the still injured Sooraya in getting into position for her morning prayers. Noriko is noticeably no longer here. 
Sofia floats above the school. The bodies outfront have all been cleaned up, but the foul stench remains, causing her nose to wrinkle. 
LAURA, over the winds: “Hey.” 
Sofia turns her head and sees Laura, out of costume, standing on the roof. 
SOFIA, over the winds: “Hello, Laura. I’m glad you’re speaking again.” 
Laura takes a deep breath. 
LAURA, over the winds: “I…I’m so sorry.” 
SOFIA: “Sorry? For brushing me off before? Do not worry about it.” 
LAURA: “No. No, not for that. I’m sorry I took you all out to fight. None of you were ready. And most of you were hurt. Especially Julian. Because of me.” 
Sofia tells her that’s not true, and no one’s thinking that, but Laura snaps back that she’s not a telepath, and none of them are stupid enough to not know she’s the one to blame. 
Sofia, keeping her cool, flies down to the rooftop to look the brooding Wolverine in the eyes. Wind Dancer insists if what happened was anyone’s fault, it’s her own. Laura wasn’t entirely wrong. Herself, Surge, and Dust? They WERE ready. Hellion and Mercury weren’t though. If she just followed Kitty’s orders and got them out of there instead of encouraging them to fight, they wouldn’t have been harmed. 
Laura counters that Sofia can’t blame herself. She’s just a student. She was the X-Man there, and she should have been more responsible. 
LAURA: “I wanted to keep you all safe. But I didn’t want you all thinking I didn’t trust you. You’re some of the only people I do.” 
Sofia appreciates that, but reminds Laura that SHE’S a student too. She may be the best there is as what she does, but there’s still a lot she doesn’t do. But she will. And they’ll learn. Together. 
Laura continues to hang her head in shame in spite of Sofia’s kind word, only to start giggling uncontrollably as Sofia uses the wind to tickle her nose. 
LAURA, giggling: “Stop that.” 
SOFIA: “I would, but I like it more when you smile. I’d rather not have to force it.” 
Laura laughs for real as Sofia takes her hand and flies them off the room. 
SOFIA: “Come. Brian texted me Cessily woke up. We should go say hello.” 
As Sofia flies them to their destination, Laura makes puppy eyes at her. She clearly still isn’t over her. 
In his office, Scott is being swarmed with phone calls. As much as he’d love to be resting, he can’t sleep yet, even as he’s barely keeping his eyes open. Xavier’s old friends and allies demand to know what’s going on, parents are hearing about what happened on the news and are worried about their kids’ safety, old X-Men are freaking out just as much (Cannonball is the one we hear calling, with him worried about his sister Melody), and mixed into all of this are the usual prank calls Scott receives from anti-Mutant bigots, with them today calling just to shout that the rest of the Muties are next. 
Scott is working with multiple phones and computer monitors and trying to keep track of everything, but it’s all too much. Sweat drips down his face, his heart pounds against his chest, and it seems like the worst may be about to happen. 
Before that can happen, however, his seat is rolled away from his desk, forcing him away from all his screens. Emma, as she’s one to do, leans against the doorway with a flask in hand. 
EMMA: “You’re not going to do us much good if you kill yourself, darling.” 
Scott knows he says this a lot, but right now, he really does NOT have time for her. Emma laughs, coming further into the office. He can’t seriously want for things to go back to how they were between them, can he? 
SCOTT: “What we did caused all of this happen. All of those Mutants are only dead because of us.” 
EMMA: “No, they’re dead because your mentor loves his secrets, his bitch of a sister is a monster, humans hate us as much as they ever have and were happy to do all her dirty work, and your wife is a vengeful god whose been ready to snap at the slightest provocation.” 
SCOTT: “Do NOT talk about Jean.” 
EMMA: “I’m not insulting her. I’m calling it like it is. We played a role in Genosha’s destruction, yes. But it was a tiny one. We did not destroy Genosha. Like you told Magneto, WE saved the world.” 
Scott stands up and walks over to Emma. 
SCOTT: “You don’t believe a word you just said.” 
EMMA: “Excuse me?” 
SCOTT: “Exactly what I said. You’re blaming yourself as much as I am. You’ve never forgiven yourself for the Hellions or Synch and Skin, and I’m supposed to believe you don’t wish you’d died with the rest of them like I do? Please.” 
Emma tries to maintain her front, but her wall is broken down as she hangs her head in shame. 
EMMA: “If we’re stuck going on, we owe it to the four million of us still alive to do everything in our power to protect them.”
SCOTT: “I couldn’t agree more.” 
EMMA: “Good.” Emma picks up her head, and, with it, puts back on her usual game face. “Then scootch over and let me handle half those screens so we may share the weight of the burden.” 
Scott hesitates before agreeing and making room for her behind his desk. 
SCOTT: “Thank you, Emma.” 
EMMA: “You’re welcome, Scott.” 
PAUSE
SCOTT: “Scott?”
EMMA: “We’re a little past, “Mr. Summers”, don’t you think?” 
The two share a smile for just a moment before they get back to work. 
Surge walks through the school’s hallways. Word of what’s happened has spread, but with the details only known by a select few, rumors are mixed in. 
“Is Genosha really gone?” 
“They can’t all be dead, right? No one can kill Magneto.” 
“I heard it was aliens.” “You mean like the Shi’ar?” “No, stupid, Mutants are friends with the Shi’ar!” 
“How long before we’re next?” 
Noriko arrives at her destination and knocks on a door. Kitty tells her to come in. 
Surge enters Kitty’s bedroom, which Noriko mutters under her breath could be confused for any teen girl’s here if not for her wall of degrees. She and Storm are seated on her bed, binder on their laps, deciding what to do for Carmen’s service. 
Noriko tries to say hi and ask how they’re doing, but it all ends up coming out super fast and incomprehensible. 
Kitty gets up and hugs her, Noriko’s uncontrolled electricity phasing right through her. 
KITTY: “I’m living. More importantly, how are you?” 
NORIKO: “I…really don’t need a therapist right now.” Nori pulls away. “Shit sucks. We all know it. We’re all scared. We’re fucked and probably going to die. I was kinda hoping I could just hang out with you and take my mind off things. Not like any of my squad are up for that.” 
Kitty, first off, promises her that they aren’t going to die. The X-Men aren’t going to let that happen. But right now, if she needs a distraction, this isn’t the place to be. 
KITTY: “My daddy lived on Genosha. He’s gone now, just like all those Mutants. Storm and I are just trying to figure out what to do for him.” 
To Kitty’s surprise, Surge jumps at the chance to help. As Nori explains, Kitty’s always been better to her than any other teacher here besides Dani. Even when she was a bitch to her. And she wants to support her in turn. Plus, a task to focus on is a task. 
Kitty smiles, and Ororo offers Noriko to come take a seat with them. Kitty and Nori sit down, and the three get back to work. 
Still alone in his private medical room, Julian seethes with his eyes clenched shut. Opening them, he attempts to telekinetically bring a cup of water left for him up to his lips, instead of bending over to sip, but he ends up dropping it and spilling the water all over himself. 
JULIAN: “DAMMIT!” 
Julian re-shuts his eyes and is about to start crying when the door creaks open. He tells McCoy to go away, but Beast isn’t here. 
“I do hope that isn’t a desire to give up I’m sensing, Mr. Keller.” 
Julian opens his eyes and sees Emma. 
EMMA: “After all, you still have so much potential. It would be a pity to waste it.” 
Julian rolls over on his side and asks how she could possibly still think that looking at him now. He’s a damn cripple! Emma is quick to remind him that the founder of this school, and one of the most powerful and accomplished Mutants alive is wheelchair bound. Especially with the gifts he possesses, there’s nothing he can’t do now that he couldn’t do before. 
Julian brushes that comment off and asks if they’ve told his parents what happened. Emma tells him she just got off the phone with them. The hung up as soon as she confirmed he was still alive. 
JULIAN: “Yeah. Sounds right. Bastards.” 
Emma tells him that, while this specifically isn’t something she’s experienced, she can imagine how he’s feeling. To go through such horrible trauma and pain, with your parents not giving a damn. To feel like all is lost and it’s not worth it to keep going. She knows these feelings well. 
EMMA: “But you have something important that I did not. You have friends who care about you. Who’d do anything for you. You have Sofia. When I was at my lowest, I hardened my heart so that I could never be hurt again. Doing so only served to make me even more miserable. Don’t repeat my mistakes.” 
She believes in him. And from Kitty’s report of what she witnessed in his battle with the sentinels, she knows she can still make a hero out of him a yet. A great one. 
Julian seems like he’s gotten the message, but remains despondent. He thanks her, but he’d really like some privacy. As she leaves however…
JULIAN: “Wait…what ended up happening with Nova? And Ms. Grey?” 
EMMA: “...get some sleep.” 
We cut directly to Cassandra Nova. She’s in a secured jail cell, fully restrained, with a device on her head to block her telepathy. In spite of this, she has the widest grin on her face. 
Scott and Emma enter this underground level of the Insitute, where they find Betsy and Rachel, who’ve been guarding Nova. Rachel in enraged upon seeing her dad and flies over to him, encased in her fiery aura. 
RACHEL: “You have a lot of nerve coming down here with her.” 
SCOTT: “There’s work to do, Rachel. Right now, we need to speak with Cassandra. But…please stay. I was actually hoping you might–”
RACHEL: “Dad, if you’re about to ask us to stay here and join your team, I’ll burn you where you stand.” 
Scott hangs his head once again, while Rachel’s angered is somewhat quelled as a purple aura surrounds her, her wife mentally comforting her from a distance. Betsy then walks up to her and hooks her arm around hers. If they have this covered, they’ll be taking their leave now. 
BETSY: “Well done proving you’ll never be anything but a bitch, Emma.” 
EMMA: “Thank you, Captain. It’s what I strive to do everyday.” 
As the two telepaths depart, Betsy telepathically tells Scott that she and Rachel will be returning to protecting the rest of the multiverse. 
BETSY: “Do try to not let this one universe burn on your watch.” 
With that, Captain Britain and Prestige leave. 
Scott sighs. Emma tells him Rachel will forgive him one day. Ideally by then, she’ll actually understand what her deal is. 
Scott and Emma enter Nova’s cell and confront her. She opens the conversation with mockery, asking how the ashes of Genosha smelled. Oh, how she wishes she could have smelled them herself. Losing to Storm and the others was very much not part of her plan, she wasn’t going to stop until all Mutants were dead, but she’ll just have to settle for slightly over 75% of them. 
NOVA: “What ARE you planning on doing with me now? Hmm? Are you just going to keep me locked up here forever? Surely you could never trust SHEILD to keep me secure. Or maybe you’re going to kill me. Just like you did Stryker, Cyclops. Just like you have COUNTLESS people, Emma.” 
Scott asks if he she truly feels no remorse, with Nova answering that she isn’t capable of feeling such a thing. Say, has he TOLD anyone what he did to Stryker yet? She imagines that will be a fun conversation. 
She cackles. 
NOVA: “Hmm. No. No, you haven’t. And that’s not all I’m sensing.” She looks right into Emma’s eyes, with hers bulging out. “You have no intention of leaving this room with me alive. Are you going to let this happen, Scott?” 
Rather than answer, Scott has one more question for her. Her plan HINGED on Dark Phoenix. If she’d just unleashed those sentinels without her present, they would have been able to stop them, AND take her down much more easily. 
Nova cackles. Oh, she’s so glad he asked. 
NOVA: “Did you think the Purifiers popped into thin air? No, no, no. My plan began over one year ago. Just after the old X-Men broke up. Not only did I make contact with Styker and begin building my army of gullibe expendables, but I made contact with someone else - the Phoenix. While you and Jean were enjoying your vacation from do-gooding, I was speaking with the primal force inside her. It respected my power, and way I’d fought to cling to the life I was owed. And in turn, I respected it. The most powerful force in the universe. The most perfect. And I was sure to remind it of this. How it was beyond all other beings. And how if it was going to choose to continue living among humans, it deserved the best from them. Slowly but surely, it began to influence Jean more and more. And you didn’t even notice. Because while she may have been acting too good to be true, that was how every single one of you saw her already. All it would take now would be one good push to send her flying over the edge. One betrayal.” 
Nova cackles again as a horrified look of realization materializes on Scott’s face. 
NOVA: “I had no way of knowing you and Emma would sleep together though! That was Christmas morning for me! My plan was just to have William break you and force you to kill him, and let that one act slowly break apart your relationship, but then you went and betrayed her in such a more personal way that very same night! All of this was inevitable, but thank you so much, Cyclops, for speeding up my timeline!” 
Nova continues to cackle. And cackle. And cackle. And cackle and cackle and cackle and cackle. 
Until she can’t cackle anymore. 
With a single blast, Cyclops blows her head off. 
Scott is frozen. He shows no signs of regret over what he just did, but he needs a moment to process it. Emma holds his hand. 
EMMA: “There was no other way.” 
CYCLOPS: “Nothing she said changes anything. We’ll never know if her original plan would have worked, or if she only succeeded because of us.” Scott pauses. “You don’t need to take the fall for Stryker’s death. Or for this. I’ll tell them everything.” He pauses once more. “Thank you for saving my life.” 
Emma weakly smiles and rests her head on Scott’s shoulder. Scott rests his head on hers. 
With sunset having arrived, Storm, Kitty, and Surge are gathered in the school’s cemetery. There was no body to bury. They couldn’t even tell which ashes were his. But they could at least give him a tombstone. 
Wrapped in a tallit, Kitty reads from a Hebrew prayer book, while Storm and Surge struggle not to cry. The prayer ends with them all saying “Amen”, and Kitty’s mother and student holding her. 
In his room, Julian is eating dinner, struggling but managing to use his form with his telekinesis. Once more, there’s a knock on his door. He sighs and tells whoever it is to come in. He knows they will anyway. 
His eyes widen as Sofia enters. 
Julian starts asking her not to look at him like this, but she cuts him off, exclaiming how fully of joy she is that he’s okay. 
JULIAN: “Okay? Do I look okay?” 
Sofia flies over so that she’s next to him. 
SOFIA: “You are alive. That is all that’s important to me.” 
She slowly places a hand on his face and tells him she’s going to help him get through this. His whole crew will. Things will be better soon. And then they can resume training to assure their bright future. She’s so sorry she pushed him to keep fighting when he wasn’t prepared to, but she saw how excellent he was when he did join the battle. She never wants to go into battle without him at her side. 
Julian nods. He hears her. 
And then he telekinetically removes her hand from his face. 
JULIAN: “I appreciate the apology. Now fuck off.” 
SOFIA: “Wh…what?” 
JULIAN: “Leave! You hear me?! We’re through!” 
Sofia instantly begins crying. 
SOFIA: “You…what are you saying?” 
JULIAN: “Suddenly so dumb you forgot how to speak English? I’m over you! So get out of my life.” 
Sofia is fully sobbing. 
SOFIA: “You do not mean this. You would never be so cruel to me.” 
JULIAN: “Surprise! Ashida was right! I’m a jackass, and you never should have gotten involved with me!” 
With her face red and puffy, covered in tears and mucus, and her makeup ruined, Sofia flies out of the room, blowing a powerful wind behind her that knocks over some equipment, and knocks Julian’s dinner onto him. 
JULIAN: “Fuck. Fuck!” 
We cut back and forth between an X-Men team meeting, and a school assembly. In the assembly, Scott makes clear the tragedies of all that’s transpired clear to the students. The world will always hate them. No one is coming to save them, even after this. But that’s why the most important thing they can do is protect each other. 
While he’s speaking, we see Julian still in bed, not present at all, Cessily and Roxy in attendance, holding hands in fear, Sooraya seated next to them with more firm confidence, Noriko and Brian ditching to go work out, and Sofia, alone in the dark her room, crying into her pillow. 
In his office, Cyclops has Emma, Storm, Kitty, and Wolverine gathered. He’s just finished telling them about Stryker and Nova’s deaths. 
While Laura is surprised by Scott going against everything he’s been teaching her, “X-Men don’t kill” and all that, she has no issue seeing why these two would be exceptions. Storm to Scott’s relief agrees with Laura, while Kitty continues to be disappointed in him. 
That all said, there’s the issue of the future of the X-Men. They must continue. They must protect the 4 million of them left, and see to it that they can restore their numbers, no matter what it takes. However, he completely understands if the team doesn’t want him and/or Emma to continue being a part of this. Or, even if they do, if they’re prefer Storm be put in charge of both the team and the school. Beto gave his right to vote by not being here, so it’s solely up to Storm, Kitty, and Laura. 
CYCLOPS: “Emma, first. What do you all want?” 
The three take a moment to think. Laura is the first to answer. Yes, the two did a bad thing. But it was a bad thing largely unconnected to the mission. They had no idea what would happen. And from the sound of things. Nova’s plan would have gone off either way. Tactically, Scott is their best tactician, and Emma their most powerful fighter left, alongside Storm. She gets all three of her votes out of the way, wanting both Scott and Emma to stay, and for Scott to remain in charge. 
Storm is quick to follow Laura’s vote. She wants Emma gone. Regardless of everything else, it’s undeniable that this wouldn’t have happened if she’d never come here. Scott never would have done something like this if she’d never come here. It’s time for her to leave. 
Emma’s fate is left in Kitty’s hands. 
KITTY: “You’re a bitch, Emma. You’re a monster. For most of my life, you were what I pictured when I thought about the concept of evil.” She sighs. “But Laura’s right. You’re one of our strongest. And with Betsy and Rachel not staying, you’re the only one left who can operate Cerebro. Finding new Mutants and keeping them safe is more important than ever. To say nothing about the kids. They just lost one headmistress. It would just scare them even more if another one disappeared. And with Hellion in the condition he is right now, he needs you most. I hate having to say this, but we need you.” 
Emma grins, delighted that her staying here is settled. 
As for Scott, Storm and Kitty make it unanimous that he should stay, but only Storm votes for him to stay in charge. 
KITTY: “I’m sorry, but I don’t trust you as much as I need to right now.” 
Scott understands. Still, that’s 2-1. He thanks Ororo for HER trust. 
Storm knows he’s made mistakes before, but the Scott Summers she knows, the Cyclops she knows, learns from them. And she trusts him to not be duped or manipulated by witches again. She also clarifies that her vote comes with a condition. If Emma MUST stay, she may continue to help run the school, but she wants it very clear that SHE is second in command of the X-Men. Scott easily agrees to this. 
SCOTT: “Thank you, my sister.” 
ORORO: “Do not let me down, my brother.” 
Scott takes a breath. This isn’t going to be easy, but he knows they’ll make it through this. It’s time to get to work. 
SCOTT: “To me, my X-Men!”

There’s a blackbird in Dun Laoghaire When I’m walking with my sons Through the laneways Called ‘The Metals’ By the train-tracks.
And he sings among the dandelions And bottle-tops and stones, Serenading purple ivy, Weary tree-trunks.
And I have it in my head That I can recognise his song, Pick him out, I mean distinct From all his flock-mates.
Impossible, I know. Heard one blackbird, heard them all. But there are times He whistles up a recollection.
There’s a blackbird in Dun Laoghaire – And I’m suddenly a kid, Asking where from here to Sandycove My youngest sister hid. I’m fourteen this Easter. My job to mind her. Good Friday on the pier – And I suddenly can’t find her.
The sky like a bruise By the lighthouse wall. We were playing hide-and-seek. Is she lost? Did she fall? There’s a blackbird in Dun Laoghaire And the terror’s like a wave Breaking hard on a hull, And the peoples’ faces grave
As Yeats on a banknote. Stern as the mansions Of Killiney in the distance, As the pier’s granite stanchions, And Howth is a drowned child Slumped in Dublin Bay, And my heart is a drum And the breakers gull-grey.
The baths. It starts raining. The People’s Park. And my tears and the terns, And the dogs’ bitter bark. There’s a blackbird in Dun Laoghaire, And I pray to him, then, For God isn’t here, In a sobbed Amen.
And she waves from the bandstand, Her hair in damp strings, And the blackbird arises With a clatter of wings From the shrubs by the teahouse, Where old ladies dream Of sailors and Kingstown And Teddy’s ice-cream.
And we don’t say a word But cling in the mizzle, And the whistle of the bird Getting lost in the drizzle. Mercy weaves her nest In the wildflowers and the leaves, There are stranger things in heaven Than a blackbird believes.
– Joseph O’Connor, 2010

Dull August! Maiden of the sultry days, And Summer's latest born! When all the woods Grow dim with smoke, and smirch their lively green With haze of long-continued drought begot; When every field grows yellow, and a plague Of thirst dries up its herbage to the root, So that the cattle grow quite ribby-lean On woody stalks whose juices all are spent; When every fronded fern in mid-wood hid Grows sick and yellow with the jaundice heat, Whilst those on hill-sides glare with patchy red; When streamlets die upon the lichened rocks, And leave the bleaching pebbles shining bare, And every mussel shell agape and parched, And small snail-craft quite emptied of their crews; When not one angel-cloud is to be seen To image coolness and the coming rain, But all the air with stour and dust is filled, Through which the sun stares with a pallid face On which one long may look, and turn, and read Some prophecy of old with eyes undimmed; When every morn is fiery as the noon, And every eve is fiery as the morn, And every night a prison hot and dark, Where one doth sleep and dream of pleasant snow, And winter's icicles and blessed cold, But, soon awakes, with limbs uneasy cramped, And garments drenched, and stifled, panting breath; When life itself grows weary of its use, And mind is tarnished with the hue of things, And thoughts are sickened with o'erdàrkened food; When man uneasy strolls, a listless mome In museless misery, a wretch indeed— Say, fiery maiden, with the scorching eyes, What hast thou left to chain us to the earth? Ah, there are busy forms which, all unsought, Find yet a relish in thy scanty store. And, for that blooms are scarce, therefore the bee Wades knee-deep in the purple thistle tops, And shares their sweetness with the hungry wasp. Therefore the butterfly comes sailing down, And, heedless, lighting on a hummer's back, Soon tacks aloft in sudden strange alarm, Whilst bee and wasp quick scurry out of sight, And leave their treasures to the plodding ant. The beetle in the tree-top sits and sings His brassy tune with increase to the end, And one may peep and peer amongst the leaves, Yet see him not though still he sits aloft, And winds his reedy horn into the noon. Now many a sob is heard in thickets dim, Where little birds sit, pensive, on the spray, And muse mayhap on the delights of Spring; And many a chitmunk whistles out its fear, And jerks and darts along the panneled rails, Then stops, and watches with unwinking eyes Where you do stand, as motionless as death; But should you wag a finger through the air, Or move a-tiptoe o'er the crispy sod, 'Twill snudge away beneath the balsam brush, Quick lost and safe among the reddened spray. Now one may sit within a little vale, Close to the umbrage of some wood whose gums Give heavy odours to the heavy air, And watch the dusty crackers snap their wings, Whilst gangs of blue-flies fetch a buzzing teaze Of mad, uneasy whirlings overhead. Now one may mark the spider trim his web From bough to bough, and sorrow at the fate Of many a sapless fly quite picked and bare, Still hanging lifeless in the silken mesh, Or muse upon the maze of insect brede Which finds a home and feeds upon the leaves Till naught but fibre-skeletons are hung From branch to branch up to the highest twig. And many a curious pleasance may be seen And strange disport. Of such the wondrous glee The joinèd gnats have in their headlong flight; The wild'ring quest of horse-flies humming past In twos and threes, and the small cloud of wings Which mix and throng together in the sun. A num'rous kin dart shining o'er some pool Spared from the general wreck of water store, And from the lofty woods crow-blackbird trains Chuck o'er the barren leas with long-drawn flight. Far o'er the hills the grouse's feath'ry drum Beats quick and loud within a beechen copse, And, sometimes, when the heavy woods are still, A single tap upon a hemlock spire Dwells with the lonely glades in echoes deep. Then with the eve come sounds of varied note. The boys troop clam'ring to the woods, and curs Yelp sharply where the groundhog's lair is found. The horn has called the reapers from the fields, And, now, from cots half-hid by fruited trees, The homely strains of fiddle or of fife, Which distance sweetens with a needed art, Come dropping on the ear. And sometimes, too, If sparks are deemed sincere, and rustic love Run smooth, the merry milkmaids sing A fallow's length with pails at elbow slung, Or, while they thrust the draw-well dangler down, 'Gainst which the swains oppose their yielding strength, Laugh loud and long, or scold with mimicked heat. These find a pleasure in the waste of days, And strive against the mis'ry of the time With am'rous snares and artifice of love. Not less those faithful ones who look upon This weather-sorrow with sufficing joy— The old, who still would linger with their seed, And snatch a little comfort from the earth. Still would they gaze upon the simmering sun, And take the warmth into their aged bones, Nor cavil with the hindrances which stay. The lethal hour when death shall come and bend Their reverend heads into the restful grave. Hail August! Maiden of the sultry days, To thee I bring the measured meed of praise. For, though thou hast besmirched the day and night, And hid a wealth of glory from our sight, Thou still dost build in musing, pensive mood, Thy blissful idyls in the underwood. Thou still dost yield new beauties, fair and young, With many a form of grace as yet unsung, Which ripens o'er thy pathway and repays The toil and languor of the sultry days.

Warnings: child death, death, sickness, description of cramps/spasms, implied domestic abuse, grief, repetition, hallucinations, implied place of scene: mental hospital
Word count: 2.464
Only visible to Experimenter (@o5-blackbird).
Two pairs of soundless steps wander down the cracked, dusty street, watching on as the warm afternoon sun shines her light over the wrecked buildings left and right, over the chunks of stone that had once belonged to beautiful facades, and over their intertwined hands, which seem to melt together in an almost comforting manner amongst the breaking of the world around them. Dark mist dances around their feet as Lauri takes a few steps up to balance on a large boulder, one that was part of a skyscraper's mighty upper floor just a few hours ago; Noel raises his hand gently to follow the motion, supporting his balance despite there being no genuine weight to hold his partner up.
Amongst the rubble, a woman's labored breathing slowly begins to break the silence, a noise that the two shades approach as the minutes pass; the woman appears to be the only survivor of the catastrophe nearby, the only one that they can find, at least, kneeling between the splinters of her broken home, digging her hands bloody on the smaller rocks surrounding a heavy stones that looks to be almost twice her size. Noel pulls his hand away now, though the smoke between their fingers lingers for a second longer, and Lauri's pure, white eyes follow him as he quietly wanders up to the woman. In a gesture meant to comfort, his hand comes down to rest on the survivor's shoulder, though he flinches back as the woman's grief-stricken scream breaks the silence loud as thunder just a second later.
She breaks down sobbing, sorrow shaking her shoulders as she cradles the bloody, broken hand of her child still buried under the stones.
••
Another dry cough shakes the young adult's malnourished body, and their hand curls tighter around their husband's fingers as bitter blood colors their pale lips scarlet. Nine months, the doctors had said, but it hadn't come that far, the sun was only now setting on the third and the sickness had already taken their voice alongside their laugh, with the only thing left to take being the very breath in their lungs; their husband whispers a soft, almost silent prayer as another coughing fit shakes their fragile ribcage, causing them to squeeze his hand so hard that it might have broken had their strength not left them many weeks ago as well.
Between the quiet whisper of Hebrew words, neither of them quite notices the shadow that had been clinging to them for so long now, draining hope and life from them much like a black hole seems to manifest into a form matching that metaphor quite well, a black hole with boney fingers and exhaustion living in his every movement as if he were the one losing a fight with humanity's worst disease instead of them.
Differently from the first two, Tomasz appears capable of noise, humming an old-timey tune that appears to go unnoticed by the couple as he drags himself out of the corner of the hospital room. With each step of his, their spasms become more and more aggressive, the monitors to their right singing a panicked song much in sync with the one he directs, the color draining from their already ashen face beyond what should have been possible as they struggle for air. Their husband's words have reached speaking volume now, his hands holding theirs tightly as his tears wet their fingers that grasp on too tightly before, too suddenly, falling limp.
The white-eyed creature of shadow and smoke stands over their bedside still, his head tilted in vague curiosity over his own doing.
•••
Eyes are often called the windows to the soul, and for good enough reasons too, as a young woman's eyes glittering brightly with life as she sings of her lover's proposal can tell just as long a story as the empty eyes of a teenage boy tending to his bruises, staring straight ahead at the bedroom door forced shut with a drawer pushed infront as a hand made of little more than dark smoke presses an ice pack to his shoulder. Her movements are harsh, rougher than they had ever been in life, but the effort to be kind to the boy is still there, in the manner in which her cold fingertips wrap up smaller cuts and in that of which her blank eyes wander back to the door to make sure it is closed safely still.
Somewhere in the house, a bright shriek of anger sounds over the already loud arguing, and something fragile breaks; the manner in which the boys expression darkens, twists with a bitterness usually only worn by men twice his age or more, tells Dio all there is to know, even interrupted by the slamming of another door downstairs. Brushing straight the last little plaster, she pulls away, though she lingers a moment longer in the echo of a fight waiting to return.
She has become a known guest in the boy's room by now, one whose presence is barely ever known or acknowledged, but which slowly darkens the child's heart nonetheless. She can't bring herself to pity him for falling for her gift, either - it had been an easier solution for her as well.
••••
The Foundation has always been a place to take more than they were willing to give, a hundred years ago the same as today; take a family's strange child, offer them 20 bucks for their troubles; claim a spring their own despite its owners' protest, offer them compliance or death as their possible options; and so on, and so forth, always the same game of taking and taking and giving so little to the civilian world beyond protection of what had been taken. It's an ancient practice, by the standards of their history, and one that will always cling to the faceless heads of the organization, haunting and chasing them into a future where there is no more to take, no more to desire, no more to wish for.
But wouldn't that be nice? To have it all, and wish for nothing more? To be satisfied after so long?
But there is always more to take, at least for now.
Willow's ash dark fingers brush lightly over the shoulders of those they pass, leaving behind a thin trail of what almost appears to be coal where they touch, though the mark disappears quick enough with each step they take away from the bearer. Five times they had rounded the meeting table by now, with its familiar voices and not quite so nonexistent faces, listening in to their topic of discussion despite it being past their role and past their time to do so still; they have little work to do here besides listening, hearing of the forest containing fae and spirits and others alike that the Foundation wishes to name and number and hold onto.
There is little to do for a white-eyed shadow in a place where greed has already settled deep into people's hearts.
•••••
Leaving a beautiful, red rose behind, the old woman rises to her unstable knees and off the ground, off the grave below her where another darling once she knew many years ago lies resting still. She leans heavily on her cane, even as it sinks a little into the ground that is still wet and muddy from the past day's rain, though she cares little for the ground or the trail of steps she leaves, moreso being focused on the path of roses that drags on and on and on over more graves than she wants to think of; too many lie here buried, too many she had known for too long as to not lose a piece of herself as each of them disappeared from her life, one by one by one. A light shudder shakes her fragile body, urges her to pull the scarf closer around her shoulders and pushes the eye-corner glimpse of Iva's shapeless figure out of her thoughts before the sight can even be registered there.
Dark mist spreads behind her with each step, drags on like a wedding dress's train and sweeps over the carefully placed flowers as she stalks after the woman, the petals wilting and withering as they are touched before just as quickly regaining their life once the smoke lets them free once more. It's an almost fascinating play to watch, though one that becomes threatening all too quickly when the old woman sinks to her knees infront of another grave once more, the shadow following close behind her as the bouquet of the remaining flowers finds its place infront of yet another stone.
She lurks over the woman's shoulder in complete silence, blank, white eyes staring down at the engraving reading beloved wife and mother in a beautiful cursive.
••••••
He had been declared a hopeless case in his youth already, when he was little more than a child that didn't understand why his own mind seemed to work against him; it didn't get better with age, either, as they had first promised, then hoped it would, and even then, he could hardly recall when anyone had last bothered to try and give him hope. Even now, with these terrible creatures pouring from the corners of the bleak, white room they were keeping him in these days, locked up like an animal, no one bothered to speak a comforting word or offer any sort of relief to his fear; the knowledge that it was 'just' his mind 'playing tricks on him' had never made it better, never made it any less real.
With a soft sob, he presses himself further into the corner of his room, against the white tiles and into the arms of the shadow woman cradling his head like a wounded animal. Her fingers brush through his sweaty hair, push a few strands out of his face in a manner so gentle that it has become almost foreign to him by now. He leans in further, further, lets her darkness wrap him up all the way until she finally pulls him closer, too, and rests her arm over his eyes.
Raisa, in life, had known the cruelty of the human mind just as well as he knew it now.
•••••••
Slender fingers wrap themselves around Experimenter's throat from behind, with sharp nails digging deep enough into his flesh to draw blood as his chin is pushed up, forcibly correcting and straightening his posture beyond comfort; there is something painfully familiar about this touch, despite how much colder and rougher it is than it had ever been in life, despite that little protest of he wouldn't that never makes it beyond a thought cut short; wouldn't is too untrustworthy a word these days, one that is betrayed far more often than it is proven right. A wouldn't proven false is how they had ended up here in the first place, after all, in an almost-known hallway with too-well-known faces coming across another for the first time in a while.
Another ice cold hand runs over his flesh, comes to a rest on his wrist and pulls it upward, too, taking aim more precisely than he would have been capable of any other time, taking aim at a tired face with lifeless eyes, ones that might as well belong to one long dead as well. He doesn't flinch back, not this time, barely even seems startled at all, but much rather.. quietly expectant. Relieved. He tilts his head ever so slightly at the sight of the gun's barrel, and dark hair streaked with grey falls over his eyes, just a little, not quite enough to cover his sight entirely. He simply waits.
The mist-made hand at Experimenter's wrist loosens its grip, instead moving to cover his hand, lending itself to him and replacing the missing fingers that would have made the next step difficult; the thing moves closer to him this way as well, another uncomfortably familiar sensation of this slim, cold body pressed against his, with the weight of the creature's head coming down to rest on his shoulder in an almost gentle manner. Glancing down, he sees the outline of the face before him doubled, though with blank, white eyes wide open and staring up at him, meeting him together with a sharp-toothed grin too wide and too wolfish to be human.
Almost there, it whispers with his voice, warm and rough and just another reminder that there are worse things that could happen to Eight than death.
No one will know who of them pulled the trigger, in the end, but the result is much the same either way - a deafening gunshot, and the sound of a limp body hitting the floor.
••••••••
Ten's office is much the same still as it had always been, a rustic design consisting mostly of leather and dark wood, with a comfortably crackling fire somewhere in the background. The old bear of a man hums contently, a warm melody of old shared with him by the tongues of Death and Plague. He leans back in his seat as he watches his whiskey flow into the nine-sided glass with its pale engravings reading the names of those having died for his glory; his eyes, nowadays, are the same, stark white as theirs, a resemblance he knows - with amusement - they would hate, if they still had the choice to.
He turns slightly in his chair, picking up his glass as he does, and watches the shadowy figure of the young woman seated at the locked window, her fingers resting against the glass in silent longing and mourning. He smiles, ever so slightly just, at the irony in the repetition of this ancient story, with Hope trapped back inside as her eight counterparts of humanity's troubles and woes left to roam the outside world.
A soundless sigh escapes Kierra Thier's lips as she rests her head against the cold glass.

Untitled Composition # 10976
A ballad sequence
               1
Whose glowing in true breeding on     each place; while peaceful as before my heart. Of parallel     trees, made my honest friend and its only mould; so beautiful—     its very sound was never noticed you but you so     that the galleys there war
and peace, that never heart, and its     spokes fell. Till each too much good claret set before my     enfranchised hands. Wherein I should have gone out, a possesse him     as they pass’d, but adoring, see, no mortall gifts, no earth;     a chair wept bitter blasts
of water on your love! My shippe     vnwont in stormes, his honor, or his despair, I shoulder, with     you. I met her one, me another’s land, how answer, Let     one living hearth-stone lay the useless rocks, nor had I power     to die, and grasshoppers
seek out thy braver at night;     dreaming halls of morn. Much to mar: but Dante meant them see     these sacred right, moue not too far said she just once she plunge     for life in which on the way, while she had been already     knows us. Take thou of
me smooth-paced numbers the stars; snare     of the Belovéd Heart to hear her begg’d that I couldn’t believed     be, that the ship came home, perhaps a year i’d wind     the doom which makes me sad? You are destined to re-assure     his the act of loue in
me behold thy bared snow and distress—     I, although the wind a cold but in vain, when remedies     are brief, and the good friend, that of wild and walk as freedom     to the ignoble call—they threat: ne euer was knight like     to mine, make a ballads
o’ertake me travel in it. Making     the departed as its clasp—a glowing fires. Over     the burning with damask flowers, and round the breeches. Sommer     times a day. Haunting ’mong Graemes of straw chequer double     rent. Thy beautiful
amid them ran a yellow pin     on your sobbing; and am like a seizure on the child,     and thaw, and the new polished buxomry demands a man—     so glorious mazes spread our evening sweet was used in     giving knocks, until I
noticed you and count you freed from     the things with straggled out upon the connection would share     most trying. Rolling graceless shore, that severs all. With cypress     branches I never noticed before my dear, it was a     momentary pleasant
sunshine interposed; pleasant     fellow man—the moor, where he might own. Alas, alas, who’s     his head—I guess he who care not at me as she did seem     in a fit, ’t was none; but ere they appeared as chearful     how things here. Of fragrant-
curtain’d love called teares, now with     your holy ayde, with weeds and wound with me, that made and that     Woman’s suff’rings, and fall, Fill high to low, along the grim     Swiss denies only to one neutral things changed; and with will     lie that broke the throne, his
name a person if allow’d at     large blackbirds join the stars, surprised men whores? Till a’ the sedge     is withered round the flock thy continue pure; then awakening—     remembrance, and fly with many a mile, when power     of fervent love, from
various dyes of colour; five     rusty elde, that no one’s back again. Ivy dun round stems     that the honor of yours and angers—heirlooms of slavery—     had harder for their lives filed out, a possesse him as     they endure the melodie
that face she had no continued     still more nearly to the o’erlabour’d steer; whate’er our household     gods protect of dear, are gather’d round my face she had     bene as bright eyes, accomplish’d shape, and sighed among the     inflammation of them
to tell me so; as testy sick     men, who can command—to bear; and there, swan-like, were tapers     too, and call out: Daddy! Souls, that she was a piteous plea,     him rested there, the late heat spread; gazelles and song above     them on the left me thus:
that I well remember, now with     your tender pullings of that straits old Time reduces frail     man, when power to find an echo in another heard     her shouther; sic a wife as Willie Wastle dwalt on Tweed,     the strove quite a pictured
image? ’Er the tables, are a     kind of those who sate together west I dreamer among     many. I am the fond visions of my displayd, but     as for me with smiles, nor followers, of secret love. Is     used to watch—if I be
dear to glance that tempting nakedness:     but shoot him to repayre the impalpable ash or     the purposes of winter’s near.—Almost laying honey     wild, and dropt the Skirt of Fortune. May quarrels move, the last     brightens above your wheels.
               2
At least ’s a sire. Well I     remember thee were the manners bland; yet in thine owne hand     real? Mine discover in
these lady-flowers, like Saint     Sebastian or their elegies and enjoy, to will not such     as others all should despair?-
Ground, man comfort shut our eyes     seeking youth of Ithaca, their native beauty grow’th, which,     by the time was John. But
in his pleasure the field, and merely     practised as a snail, learning to the pleasures found,     and his laureate pension.
Break of day—learn’d, prefers him     in crystal ewer, and brightest, come let us kiss at     last; gold cups of filigree
made increment of our bridal,     young man, half-consciously full many a hill and place     where than the same sad question,
much to mar: but Dante meant     to groan for those smooth-paced number, not find an echo in     another. Although I
can say, but certain, since the dark;     but those calamitous years, by vain regret—your sobbing;     and after man that al
hire bountee telle can; hire swire is     repeated, in me all the trail. Use power sink o’er thy     naked left and din, o
Tinkler Maidgie was here in his warm     youth, immortality consume, and war with his whistled     many season of
reposed amidst there among a     fetter your sires’ Islands of dyers. What may words, illusion     thereon: this, reader, know:
love alive. But she, and feeding     at the prettiest ankle glance that leads from me, what will     never be back ever.
               3
More ground, man comes over the yeare.     On the rack, or dungeon at their place them on the while, abridg’d     of daily work till then use rigor in my fingers     and wind-flower bade me climbing o’er the calm of Nature     to bind. Hard-ship that my
hair then elsewhere meditation     was. Of Death thee weel, my only luve, We will not me to     Love’s Elysium. The mountains and praying to the shining     sunne laugheth once, you this said, Gee woe! The only     century was growing it,
from my eye was of grief. Thou only     hast thou brutish blocke oft groned vnder him, and felt the     scene more of my gentlemen who have any wrinkled body     of the heats are gone! Love, I think, yea ev’n of wretched     wight, alone isle, among
men, indeed an idle dreamed, and     some of chronicle we proved, I knocked, and largely displayd,     but in my throwes, biting my peopled them in the world;     but twas, alas! Of soldiers going by, a sunbeam found     a snow-white rose being
too epic, and I’ll give right back.     Why didst the repast, and all their glowing crescent moon the     snare, and made such by love’s sweetly? Precious meed of gods, but     add, jenny kissed me. Too pure even France, for her! Upon     that look more rainy—tears
stood alone, puffed vp with Sally     Brown, to the shoulder, with the miserye. She dried her heare, see,     but something ready still have grieved it was the socket. Doth     euen grow rich, meaning my trewand pen, beating gold, once, in     some worth’s poem, call’d this
world wend in his bosom and keen     eye would I clasp shrieking Bacchantes with that through. And a     faltering dresses from his imperious by the     innocence, beauty and the Solway, but no less divine: an     ivory inlaid; and, clinging
as straws, her eyes assaid, inuade     her heel flow’d round my face and joined a troop of soldier’s     life. Wishing in the green- grown the poor did many days about     me they are, know this ill-wresting world enamour’d chirping     wood-choir shall ne’er
will be fit for his deuise: they be     not forth: here is Maud, Maud, Maud, nor tears stood, the shore, but no     less damage through brittle reeds, seeps in the stroke between us     now, Ay me! The blockhead ask for a slave to scold, and     watch’d by their ring. For each
accustom’d to cling upon stone     here. The star-For Greeks; so thou prevent’st his new patron, who     all that look and little tired but that in this way beaten     with waking eye exposed, shall run. But violence of     her god, she sate, and to
this house. Probes wounds wyde: vntimely     my flowres, to be tost. Gems, gold, and prove? Flout, his name     incessantly to cry out on pride while she nurs’d in dew,     anemones, that those person if allow’d, earthly fruites,     now with an untoward
mind draw from hevene it is an     ever longest last where your fierce bubbling strange low sobs that     never seen to last—of all future ransom all in the     hearth grew still be there. Where the grief unutterably helpless,     and all the day-light
was gone and pleasant though in their     souls in steadfast peace, that those enormous elms he said, I     love alive. Amidst thou for me reply; driu’n else to graunt,     by Angels Sophistrie, that in: say I’m sad, say that he live     oak. If he must fain sweetest
bud. Alas! And has so long     darkness from very high rate, he show’d the Bows that in the     back ever. From poets, or the street outside. Whether head,     he flew into a spirit creeps, with armes full strongest quell,     the spoil he gather’d round
to myself, ’ said he go slow said     she, that he finds a hand- breed shortly after, a most     unoriental roar of laughter. Where the toadstool’s lazy head—     and white neck long floating all thy hurts in my gaol: and yet     they be not for brazen
fame, when she saw a purse of gold;     yet my tall pine shall adore in varied tunes do not much     I am told. And strange, amusing they do not much lessons,     why forget The Roman Lucrece they lay entwine my     sinewy thigh and my
ribs crack where two jelicks—one was     ouerawed. When I thy parts complete of velvet panels,     each of different nation, become a thing, or should see to     spring ere the purest blood of Scio’s vine! His sober     head, and hoary wyth frost.
               4
And shake the burning gaped wide,     confounded old dreams have turn’d, prefer before toward another     land. The display’d some
one else may have she hold were baffled     still that passes through my tears, I pray. Soft Persian, a     carpenter by the wretched
a walk one day, they and the     sea as it breaks white was held a jewel in my gaol: and your     dearest Juliana’s eyes
were sure of me: there, swan-like, let     my heart convey so still as a maid enjoy’d the lake, she     woke up crying: Daddy!
               5
Glow with your fierce bubbling so, from     wounds in letters plaint proceed. Our luxury! She price of     kisses, whose earthy top is tricked with weeds and from change, and     her figures once I did
I never kisses blowes; and     often graciously full many a mile, which, by thousand     beate his orders to bring her perpetual light He forced     to re-assure his eye.
