Flashback to Sunday Evening

FOGGY’S VOICEMAIL: Matt, where the hell have you been?! I've been trying to call you since Friday night! I saw the news about Zack… that had to have been you. Is __ okay? Where is she? Call me back as soon as you can—Karen and I are worried.

Matt sighed as he clicked the message off. He was still standing by the doorway you just left out of. He couldn’t muster the strength to leave the space you once lingered. He stood there and leaned against the wall… the wall he just kissed you against.

He called Foggy.

“Jesus, Matt, now you can call me?” Foggy cursed over the line. “What the hell happened?”

“A lot,” Matt sighed, turning his hand into a fist. “You should come over so we can talk about it. Maybe bring Karen as well.”

“Okay,” Foggy sighed, “is __ alright?”

“She is now,” Matt answered, as he finally heard you enter a cab from outside. “She’s on her way home.”

“She was at your apartment? What the hell, Matt… you have a lot of explaining to do. And no bullshit. Karen and I deserve to know the truth.”

“I know,” Matt didn’t have the energy to argue with his friend. He sighed, leaned his forehead against the wall, and deeply breathed. “I’ll tell you the truth.”

Foggy and Karen weren’t happy with what Matt told them, which was the truth.

“Jesus, Matt…” Foggy shook his head. “I don’t even know where to begin. You—you and __ have been together since this summer, and she didn’t know, but you knew, and now she found out because Zack—Jesus,” Foggy pinched his temples as he processed what Matt confessed.

Karen was silent, like she always was when Matt revealed a big revelation. He remembers the time he told Karen his secret like it was yesterday, and the way she acted then was close to how she is now. Hunched, biting her nails, furrowed brows. Her heart pounding in her chest. Out of anger or confusion, he didn’t know.

“Karen?” He called her name softly.

She glared at him. Matt didn’t need to see to know she was.

“I’m upset we lost a good employee because of your lies,” Karen stated. “I’m upset she couldn’t talk to any of us about it. I completely understand why she wouldn’t want to come back.”

“You can reach out to her,” Matt suggested. “She would probably like that.”

“I’ll probably write her recommendation letter for Columbia if she still needs it,” Foggy added. “I just—I can’t believe Zack almost—Jesus. I hope he gets disbarred.”

“He will,” Matt said instantly, “I’m sure of it.”

“For what it’s worth,” Karen began to say, “I’m glad you were there to save her.”

“Me too,” Foggy said.

Matt nodded his head, “I knew it was bad news. I just didn’t know he was going to try to do that.”

“Who took care of her when you took her back here?” Karen asked.

“Claire,” Matt sighed. “She hooked her up to an IV.”

“And what did you guys—you know what, never mind,” Foggy stopped himself from asking an obvious question. Matt shifted uncomfortably on the couch.

After another few drinks and conversation with his friends, Foggy and Karen left Matt’s apartment. He laid on his bed, on the side you slept on the entire weekend. Your scent was still there. Even if it wouldn’t last for long, the memories he made with you and the way you made him feel, would last an eternity for him.

And despite his best efforts to move on, he was never going to stray far.

“I was happy to see your name in our applications,” Geri Hogarth said as she poured herself a glass of seltzer water. You watched as the bubbles rose in the glass. “Would you like a glass?”

“No, thank you,” you gently declined. “I was really happy to see you guys looking for a legal assistant. And it works perfectly you’re so close to Columbia.”

“Congratulations on getting in, by the way!” Geri cheered with her glass. You blushed.

“Thank you. I’m really excited to be working here, along with you, Marci, the other colleagues.”

“You’re going to learn a lot here. But I’m curious—Mr. Nelson and Mr. Murdock are really fine attorneys—what made you want to leave?”

Wasn’t that the question, you thought?

“I felt it was time for me to move on and explore new opportunities—get as much experience at different firms as I could,” you answered, which was true, in many ways. “I’m… grateful for my experience there. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for them.”

“Good,” Geri agreed, “I won't ever forget the first firm I ever worked at. It really builds you as a person in your career.”

“It sure does,” you smiled. “So, when do I start training?”

And you would start training at Hogarth, Chao & Benowitz that following Monday. And you would work there for the entire length of your law school years.

Eventually, the past became the past, but it didn’t mean you wouldn’t think of him every now and then. A thought of him was behind every alley way at night. A thought of him was behind every second thought you put into going on a date with someone new. It never was more than a thought, but it was enough to make you feel a certain way—a true longing for something that could’ve been. You could never look at rooftops the same, or black coffee, or even a church. There was always Matthew behind all of that.

And little did you know, he was there, all along.

Three Years Later

New York County Supreme Court

A cold day in Manhattan. One of those mornings, the moment you stepped outside, you were chilled to the bone. But today was an exciting day: after finally passing the Bar Exam, you were to be sworn in officially as an attorney. A lot of sweat and tears went into this day—this day you knew would come all along.

You stepped out of the cab and held your coat around your shoulders tighter as you looked up at the New York County Supreme Court in awe. There were two signs near the entrance. One read: CONGRATULATIONS! The other read: BAR ADMISSION CEREMONY. You watched as other people arrived at the court and stared in awe just as you were. You smiled at them all, wondering where they came from and what it took for them to get here as well.

Finally, entering the courthouse was like seeing the Museum of Natural History. Nothing will compare to that feeling of seeing it for the first time. You followed the red velvet carpet down the hall and into the chamber where the ceremony would take place. There were ushers along the way who guided people to their designated seats. The Law Judge would call your names one by one and you would go up for a picture.

Other people were here too, to support the new attorneys. Friends, families, colleagues. You spotted your parents and friends in the audience, as well as Geri Hogarth and your favorite professor from Columbia. When you caught their attention, you smiled and waved in excitement before taking your assigned seat.

The Law Judge went up to the podium and gave a long speech about how important this day was for the future of justice. After a short while, he finally had all the new attorneys stand from their seats and hold their right hands up to take an oath and be sworn in. You raised your right hand and repeated the words in tandem with everyone else.

“Now, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, your class of new attorneys! When you hear your name, please come up to the podium for a picture and your certificate.”

One by one, the assigned seats became empty as the newly sworn-in attorneys went up to get their certificates and pictures taken. The closer it got to your name being called, the faster your heart began to beat. You felt yourself sweat under your white button-up and blazer. You fixed your hair and pushed two strands behind your ears.

Finally, your name was called.

You smiled at the people you walked past and carefully walked up the stairs to meet the Law Judge, who held your certificate in his hands. He held his hand out for you to shake and pointed at the camera. You smiled at the camera, the flash blinding for you a moment. After it had faded, you searched the audience for your friends and family again and smiled when you caught their attention, holding up your certificate.

You met them outside in the lobby of the courthouse, for more pictures and hugs. And amid all the congratulations, the smiles, the selfies, the jokes about being your friends’ future lawyer, you saw him.

Walking out of the chambers you just were sworn in, you saw him. Donned in his gray suit, black tie, dark red glasses, and cane in hand. You saw him.

He stood there, in the corner, away from the crowd. Cane standing straight, with two fists at the top. From that stance alone, you knew he knew you noticed him.

“I’ll be right back,” you said to your friends, “I see someone I know.”

Gravity pulled you in your path to Matt who waited for you to approach him. It was like seeing a vision, this image of him standing there and waiting for you.

It’s been three long years. Three years of wondering what he was up to, and if he ever thought about you the way you fell asleep thinking of him.

What were you to say?

You looked at his appearance—not much has changed. If anything, he was more handsome now. His hair was styled nicely, he had a slight stubble. His hands, his knuckles—red. Not much has changed.

“Congratulations, __, Esq.,” Matt smiled. To hear his voice after so many years—it still made your heart flutter. So many memories flashed in your mind, memories of Matt’s face being half covered, memories of those early mornings you spent, memories of being tangled in his sheets.

“Thank you,” you answered. “How did you know—I guess the list of attorneys is public on the site.”

“It is,” Matt affirmed, “I—I hope you don’t mind I’m here.”

“Not at all,” you said. “I’m happy to see you. I told myself that I wouldn’t seek you out. I’d let—“

“Fate decide it,” Matt finished your sentence. “I remember… you once said that it was fate, how we kept running into each other.”

You raised your eyebrows in surprise—he remembered.

“Yeah,” you breathed out, “fate. But I’m not sure how much fate had to do with you searching the day of my admission.”

“You’re right,” Matt said. “Not much.”

“So, what have you been doing?” You asked.

“Same as always,” Matt replied. “I’d ask you the same but I know you graduated law school and now this.”

“Yes,” you affirmed, “law school, HC&B. Now I’m an attorney.”

“HC&B treating you well?” Matt couldn’t help but ask.

“They are,” you smiled. “I’ve learned a lot from Geri.” Things I wished I learned from you.

“Good,” Matt grinned. “Foggy and Karen miss you.”

“Last time I spoke with Foggy was about my letter of recommendation,” you nodded. “I miss them, too. So much has happened, so much time has passed.”

“__,” Matt said your name in a low voice. “I missed you.”

“I missed you, too,” you said softly, letting your guard down completely. It was like you were waiting for him to say those words. The moment you left him has haunted you to this day. “I… thought about you. All the time. In everything I did.”

“I did too,” he muttered.

“I kept your secret,” you suddenly said before you could think, “I realized I never made sure of that with you.”

“I trusted you,” Matt nodded his head. “I wasn’t worried.”

“So… why are you here? Why now?” You asked him.

“Well, I wanted to support you. And… I wanted to know… if enough time has passed,” Matt gently said. “I know—I know I hurt you. And I know you needed time to heal and move on. So I came here, to ask you, will you give me another chance, to make things right?”

Enough time had certainly passed. And each day that went on, the less hurt you felt and the more longing you felt for Matt. The more you wondered what would happen the next time you saw him—which was right now. Would you give him another chance?

“Now that you’re here in front of me, I can honestly say that I have faith again,” you whisper, “so yes, Matt. I will give you another chance.”

Matt smiled. “If I could take an oath right now, to ensure I will make it right, I would. But instead,” Matt reached in his pockets to grab something. When he pulled out the cross necklace he gave you all those years ago, your heart dropped and now you felt tears brim around your eyes. “I want you to have this again.”

You took the cross necklace from his hand. He wrapped the thread around your fingertips, placing the cross in your palm and closing your hand to cover it.

“I promise I won’t hurt you like I did before,” Matt said gently, “my oath to you.”

And you held onto his cross necklace like you would hold onto his oath. Faith had finally come back.

Or Hudson, you, and a special guest make brownies.

The entire list of installments for this series can be found here. I'll start a tag list once I've caught up to AO3 so if you're interested let me know in a comment (I know I've already gotten asked about it so I'm slowly adding names)!

Swinging your apartment door open, Amber greeted you with a look of relief and gratitude. Beside her stood Hudson, his dinosaur backpack slung over his navy blue winter coat. He was beaming up at you and you couldn’t fight the large smile making its way onto your own face.

“Thank you so unbelievably much,” Amber gushed instantly. “And I am incredibly sorry to bother you so last minute like this, really. I owe you big time.”

You shrugged a shoulder in response. “It’s really not a big deal,” you assured your sister. “I love spending time with my favorite nephew and it’s been awhile since we’ve had a sleepover. Hasn’t it, Huds?” you asked, attention focusing down to your nephew.

“Right!” he agreed quickly. “Is Uncle Matt going to be here?”

“Uh, no, I don’t think so, Huds,” you answered him awkwardly.

You figured Matt would realize you weren’t alone in your apartment tonight when he stopped by, probably hearing Hudson before heading home where he would inevitably find the message you’d left on his normal not vigilante phone about Amber needing you to watch Hudson last minute overnight. You knew he’d entirely understand that you’d be unavailable this evening.

“How’re things going with him after the breakup?” Amber asked, catching your attention. “Still doing good?”

You nodded quickly. “Oh, yeah. Things are great between us,” you told her with a smile.

“Mmm,” she hummed out, eyes narrowing. “I’ll punch him in that handsome face if he hurts you again, though.”

“Amber, it was a…misunderstanding of sorts that got vastly blown out of proportion,” you told her, aware of how much of an oversimplification that was, “and we’re good.”

“I’m just saying,” she continued, “I haven’t forgotten all those nights you were crying on my couch downing an entire bottle of wine on your own. I just don’t want to see you like that again.”

“Point taken,” you told her. “Now don’t you have to be at the office?”

Amber expelled a deep sigh before she nodded. “Yeah, I should probably get back before Hogarth gets pissed. Leave it to her billionaire golden boy to somehow need help late on a Friday night.”

“I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to be telling me that,” you pointed out.

“Right,” she agreed, pulling a face. “Forget I said that.”

She turned, lowering down to Hudson’s height as she held her arms out. Hudson threw his arms around her, immediately hugging his mom tightly.

“You be good for your aunt,” Amber told him. “She’s doing mommy a big favor tonight so let’s not be a troublemaker, okay?”

“Okay,” Hudson answered.

“I’ll see you in the morning, buddy,” she said, kissing his head. “I love you. And be good , please.”

“Love you, too, momma!” Hudson replied.

Amber rose to her feet as Hudson bolted straight towards you, wrapping your left leg in an excited hug that almost knocked you off your feet. Amber shot him a sad smile before her attention shifted back to you.

“Thank you, really,” she repeated. “Just…make sure he gets to sleep and eats breakfast and I’ll be happy. I already know you’re the fun one and he’s going to do some things he usually doesn’t get to at home.”

“It’s because I’m not his mom,” you reminded her. “I don’t do the disciplining part. I do the fun activities part.”

"I'll see you tomorrow, Hudson," your sister said, shooting him a quick wave.

Amber mouthed one last 'thank you' before turning and heading down your hall towards the elevator. You closed the door and turned, spotting Hudson slipping his dinosaur backpack off onto your couch.

“You want help with your coat and shoes, Huds?” you asked, making your way over to him.

He nodded enthusiastically, patiently waiting for you to help him out of everything. Afterwards, you headed back to your door, hanging his coat and putting his shoes by yours. Turning around, you sent Hudson a large grin that he quickly mirrored.

“Your mom said you already had dinner,” you began, Hudson nodding in response. “So would you like to help me make some brownies?”

His eyes widened, lighting up excitedly as he bounced from foot to foot. “Yes! Can we make them now? Please?” he begged.

“Absolutely,” you told him. “You want to help me get the stool out of my closet so you can wash your hands first?”

Hudson didn’t answer, instead he booked it out of your living room and down the hall, heading straight to your bedroom closet. You laughed, shaking your head as you followed after him. When you entered your room, you saw him already struggling to pull the stool out of the closet with his little arms. Before you could offer help, he was already hoisting it up and shooting you a proud smile. You waved him out of your room with a smile of your own, watching as he carried the stool down your hallway. You followed slowly behind, amused at how cute he looked holding onto something half his size.

“Alright," you began, "first we’re going to wash up and–”

“ Daredevil !” Hudson shrieked, dropping the stool to the floor of your living room and cutting you clean off.

Eyes widening in horror, you turned to your left. Sure enough Matt was crouched at your window dressed as Daredevil. His mouth was hanging wide open, his fist still raised from where he must have been knocking against it. Hudson sprinted towards the window, immediately struggling to open it.

“Hudson we probably shouldn’t be opening the window to strangers, don’t think your mom would approve of that,” you said, your eyes on Matt.

“He’s not a stranger, he’s a superhero!” Hudson called over his shoulder. “I didn’t know you knew him, auntie!”

“What the hell, Matt,” you awkwardly sing-songed under your breath knowing he could hear you.

Out on your fire escape, Matt’s mouth tugged into a sheepish grin as his hand fell back to his side. With a sigh you made your way over to the window and lifted it up.

“I don’t exactly know him,” you corrected Hudson, pulling him away so Matt could climb in. “He uh, just was helping me with something for work.” Your focus shifted back to Matt as he closed the window behind himself. “And he shouldn’t have stopped by while I was watching my nephew,” you said through a forced smile.

Matt huffed out an awkward laugh, rubbing the back of his neck with a gloved hand. “I wasn’t quite paying attention,” he admitted. “I didn’t realize you weren’t alone.”

“That’s okay!” Hudson said excitedly. “You’re my favorite superhero! I’m going to tell momma I met you!”

“No!” you and Matt both shouted simultaneously.

The smile fell off of Hudson’s face as he looked up at you curiously. You licked your lips nervously, eyes briefly darting over to Matt. He was wringing his gloved hands, clearly nervous. Okay, so it was on you to come up with a fast lie. Great.

“You can’t tell your mom you met him,” you said slowly, kneeling down in front of him, “because uh…he’s helping me with something super secret for work, okay? It involves some…really bad guys and it wouldn’t be safe for me or Daredevil if they knew he was helping me. So can you keep this a secret?”

“Hmmm,” Hudson hummed out, his focus shifting back towards Matt, a slow smile forming on his mouth. “Okay,” he said with a nod. “Can he make brownies with us?”

You sat there kneeling on the floor, blinking rapidly a few times. “You…want Daredevil to stay and make brownies with us?” you asked him slowly.

“Yeah,” he answered, a little pout on his face. “I might not see him again.” Quickly Hudson’s hands flew out and grabbed onto your shoulders, taking you by surprise. “Please, auntie? Can he stay, please? Please?”

Your mouth fell open, eyes widening as you continued to kneel there on the floor entirely dumbstruck. “I, uh, well, Huds, uhm–”

“I can stay and make brownies,” Matt answered.

He had intentionally pitched his voice lower and you bit your lip, trying to hold back a laugh. He sounded absolutely ridiculous talking about making brownies in the same gruff voice he used to threaten breaking bones with criminals.

“But if I do,” Matt added, “I need you to keep my secret. Can you do that?”

“Okay!” Hudson said, releasing his hold on your shoulders and bouncing up and down.

Slowly your head turned towards Matt, a hand flying up to try to cover your laugh. “You’re uh, you’re going to stay and make brownies then, Devil of Hell’s Kitchen?” you teased. “With a three year old?”

Matt shrugged a shoulder, a grin slipping onto his face. “I do serve the people of Hell’s Kitchen when they need help,” Matt answered. He gestured a gloved hand at Hudson. “And this young man is clearly in need of some brownies.”

You bit down hard on your lip, eyes closing as you refrained from letting out a snort of amusement. “Hudson,” you began, fighting to keep your voice even, “I’m going to put on some cartoons, okay?” You opened your eyes, glancing over at your nephew. “Can you sit and watch them for me while I go over some uh, work things with Ma–uh Mr. Daredevil?”

“And then he’ll make brownies with us?” Hudson asked, wide eyes staring hopefully up at you.

You cleared your throat, nodding slowly as you rose back to your feet. “Yeah, I suppose he will,” you sighed.

Hudson grinned, running over to the couch and hopping up onto it. You turned, shooting Matt a pointed look.

“You go wait in my room,” you ordered him in a hushed tone.

Matt’s mouth curled into a smirk as he nodded at you. “Yes, ma’am,” he answered.

You shook your head, rolling your eyes as you made your way into the living room. Taking a minute, you turned on the television to some cartoons and begged Hudson to give you a few minutes to talk to Daredevil. When he was clearly enraptured with some cartoon dogs, you headed back towards your bedroom where Matt was leaning against your dresser.

“What the hell, Matt?” you whispered. “My nephew is here!”

“Yeah,” he replied. “I sort of gathered that by this point.”

“Well didn’t you pick up on him here in my apartment with your Fancy Devil senses before you came knocking on my living room window?” you asked.

“Clearly not,” he answered. “I was admittedly a little tired from today. I wasn’t paying that close of attention. I’m sorry.”

You sighed, running a hand over your forehead. “It’s fine, I just hope he really does keep this a secret. I mean he is only three.”

“There’s not much to do about it now,” Matt said. “Hopefully his love of Daredevil will have him wanting to keep the secret for now.”

“Yeah, I hope so,” you agreed. “Because I don’t really think you’re planning to tell my sister anytime soon about your extracurricular activities.”

“Not really,” he agreed. Pushing off of the dresser, he made his way towards you. “Come here, sweetheart.”

“Well I should–”

“He’s entranced by whatever cartoon is on, I promise,” Matt assured you.

You nodded, crossing the distance between the two of you. Matt’s gloved hand reached out, tenderly gripping your chin and lifting your face towards his. You couldn’t fight back the smile growing on your lips despite the situation.

“Hi,” you whispered.

He huffed out a laugh, a grin forming on his own mouth. “Hi, sweetheart,” he responded just as quietly.

Leaning towards you, Matt connected his lips to yours in a sweet kiss. Your hands rose to his chest, bracing yourself against him. Soon you were pulling away, wrapping your arms around him and burying your face against his chest. Matt’s own arms encircled you, his face burrowing against you in return.

“Missed you today,” Matt murmured into your shoulder.

“I missed you, too,” you whispered.

With a sigh you reluctantly stepped back, knowing you couldn’t leave Hudson out in the living room much longer. Matt released you as well, his head shifting to the side as he focused on you through the red lenses of his mask.

“So are you really going to help me and Hudson make a boxed brownie mix dressed in the full ensemble?” you asked him, waving a hand at his suit.

Matt grinned in response. “Only if you call me Mr. Daredevil again,” he teased.

You playfully swatted his chest, the gesture causing Matt to laugh. "I'm serious, because you're going to have to keep up the charade that you're not Uncle Matt," you told him.

"You know, I quite missed him calling me that," Matt said, head canting to the side.

" Matt ," you chided.

He grinned again at you, clearly enjoying pushing your buttons.

"If you get me a glass of water so I can keep up the voice I'll do my best, but–" Matt said, raising a finger and tapping you gently on the nose, your eyes narrowing in response, "–you're going to have to keep your hands to yourself."

"Keep it up and Mr. Daredevil is going to have a new foe to fight tonight," you quipped back.

Matt made a noise in his throat that sounded almost like a pleased purr. "Now that sounds fun," he whispered.

"There's a three year old on my couch right now, Matt," you reminded him. "And I'm going to head back out there and get started on the brownies now. Behave yourself, Devil."

He smirked, nodding as you turned to leave. But you stopped in the threshold when he spoke again.

"Yes, ma'am."

You shifted your head over your shoulder, shooting Matt a stern look. "You stop that, Matthew."

He chuckled as he made his way out of your bedroom, pausing when he neared you. He leaned down, his left hand resting on your lower back as he whispered into your ear, "Why would I stop when it's clear how much you like it?"

Your jaw dropped, your eyes following him as he made his way back down your hallway to the living room. He glanced over his shoulder at you, shooting you a cocky smile as he walked away.

“Ass,” you muttered, heat rising to your cheeks.

Heading over towards Hudson who was still enthralled with the cartoons, you passed Matt and heard a deep chuckle come from him as you did. Choosing to ignore it, you focused on Hudson.

“Ready to make those brownies?” you asked him.

Hudson scooted off the edge of the couch, nodding his head excitedly. His focus shifted on Matt still dressed fully as Daredevil beside you. Somehow his smile widened even further.

“Alright, bring the stool over to the sink and wash your hands first,” you told him. As Hudson darted off to pick up the stool, you shot Matt a look. “You too, Devil. Take the gloves off and wash your hands. I don’t want…whatever might be on them in the brownies.”

Matt’s tongue slipped out between his lips, your eyes following the movement as the soft flesh slickened with his saliva. His mouth pulled up into a devilish grin that had your hand momentarily pausing in its reach for the television remote.

“Yes, ma’am,” he whispered back.

Your teeth grit together as your hand wrapped tightly around the remote, eyes narrowing back at Matt. He wasn’t wrong. That was certainly starting to do something to you, but now was really not the time nor the place for Matt to be teasing you like this. Especially because he couldn’t stay the night with Hudson over.

“Matt,” you whispered his name in warning.

That grin was still on his face as he raised his hands, slowly undoing his gloves. “What?” he asked innocently. “I’m just trying to be respectful.”

“Keep it up,” you playfully threatened him.

His head tilted to the side as he watched you in amusement, his hands still undoing his gloves. Behind him in the kitchen you heard the sink turn on and you spotted Hudson washing his hands.

“Keep it up and what?” Matt pressed.

Your eyes slid back towards Matt. Setting your jaw firm and feeling emboldened by his flirting, you walked over to him and gently placed a hand along his abdomen as you leaned in and whispered, “Keep it up and you’ll end up in your shower tonight wishing you’d behaved, Devil,” you whispered.

Your hand gradually slipped downwards until your fingertips were almost touching him through his suit. Something like a grunt fell out of Matt, his nostrils flaring. That devilish grin on his mouth faded as his lips pulled into a tight line. Your hand returned to your side as you made your way towards the kitchen feeling pleased with yourself. You certainly missed having an effect on him.

“Wash your hands, Devil,” you called back over your shoulder.

Entering the kitchen, you helped Hudson finish washing his own hands before you washed yours. You noticed it had taken Matt a moment to recover before he’d made his way back into the kitchen, pausing beside you at the sink. You couldn’t fight the triumphant smirk on your mouth as you moved out of his way, letting him wash his hands next as you reached up into a cabinet nearby, grabbing him a glass for water. You waited for him to finish washing his hands before you filled it up and handed it to him. Meanwhile, Hudson had been excitedly moving the stool over towards your open counter space and curiously examining the boxed brownie mix you had out.

"Okay, so we need a bowl," you said, walking around your kitchen and bending down to a lower cabinet to pull out a large bowl. With it in hand, you walked back to the counter Hudson and Matt were both now standing at, Hudson on his stool. "You think you can handle pouring the dry brownie mix into the bowl with Hudson, Devil?"

"You really think I can't handle that?" he asked back.

Turning, you made your way over to the oven. "What do you think, Huds?" you asked over your shoulder as you began to preheat the oven. "You think Daredevil knows how to bake?"

"Yeah!" Hudson shouted.

Finishing setting the temperature on the oven, you turned back around and immediately paused, your eyes taking in the sight before you. Matt was letting Hudson tear the box open, a large smile spread across his face. Hudson was giggling hysterically as he brutalized the box with his little hands before Matt pulled out the bag from inside that held the dry ingredients. You couldn’t hold back the smile on your face as you watched him help Hudson open the bag next. It was strange but also incredibly beautiful watching your nephew bake brownies with his hero, and simultaneously watching Matt as Daredevil using the same hands he punished criminals with helping Hudson carefully pour the dry brownie mixture into a bowl.

It was in that moment, watching Matt with Hudson as you continued to openly stare by the oven, that the full realization hit you. You wanted Matt. You wanted to marry him and spend the rest of your life with him, but you also realized something else. You wanted a family. And you wanted it with him . You felt your eyes suddenly prick with tears as a strong wave of emotion hit you at the thought of Matt smiling and talking to your pregnant belly, those big hands cradling your baby bump. Or those same hands gently burping a baby over his shoulder as he rocked them back and forth. That deep rumble of his gently shushing a crying baby as he held them safe in those big protective, strong arms of his.

Matt's head abruptly spun in your direction, the smile on his face briefly dulling to something that seemed curious and questioning. No doubt confused about the conflicting emotions your body must have been displaying to him. You blinked hard a few times, trying to fight back the tears that hadn't fallen yet.

"We need eggs!" Hudson shouted.

You cleared your throat, nodding your head as you made your way to the fridge. "Yes, you're right," you said, trying to keep your voice even. "How many Hudson?"

"Two!" he proudly answered.

"Two eggs it is," you said.

Trying to gain control over your emotions, you opened the fridge door. As you were opening the egg carton and grabbing the eggs, you couldn't help but listen in to the conversation behind you.

"You remind me of Uncle Matt," Hudson was saying.

"Oh?" Matt asked, his tone cautious.

"Yeah. I want to bake brownies with him, too," Hudson said.

Turning around with the eggs in your hands, you saw the bright smile sliding across Matt's face under his mask. The sight only further melted you.

"I'm sure he'd love to if you asked him," Matt replied.

"He likes dinosaurs," Hudson continued on. "He said his favorite is a brontosaurus."

"Did he?" Matt asked.

Walking back to the pair or them, you set one of the eggs beside the bowl. “You want to help me crack these, Huds?” you asked.

Hudson reached out, grabbing onto the back of your hand as you cracked the egg on the edge of the bowl. He helped you pour the egg inside before letting go of your hand as you reached over, tossing the shell in the garbage before picking up the other. Once again his little hand was holding onto the back of yours as he helped you crack the egg.

“Do you like dinosaurs?” Hudson asked Daredevil.

“I do,” he replied in his gruff tone.

You bit your lip hard, fighting down the laugh. You were certain Matt’s throat would be aching after tonight from continually talking like that. Though as you made your way back to the sink to wash your hands, you could feel a happy warmth blossoming in your chest as Matt continued to chat with Hudson about dinosaurs in the full Daredevil suit. He had to be sweating under that thing.

Walking back over to the counter as the two continued chatting, you picked up the box. You couldn’t resist the snort of amusement that escaped you at how decimated the top of the box was. Matt’s head shifted in your direction at the sound and you caught the little smile he flashed at you in response. His attention quickly returned to Hudson as you noticed you still needed the vegetable oil.

You made your way over to a drawer, pulling out the right measuring spoon. Afterwards, you made your way over to a cabinet just beside Matt and opened it. Carefully you reached up to pull out the vegetable oil, but your hand bumped the container of olive oil and it went tumbling off of the shelf. Before you could blink, Matt’s hand darted out beside you, catching the bottle of olive oil seconds later. You stood there with your mouth hanging open for a moment. On the other side of Matt, Hudson’s eyes grew wide.

“ Cool !” he squealed.

Recovering, you accepted the bottle from Matt, muttering a ‘thank you’ as you did before you placed it back in the cabinet. With the vegetable oil in hand, you made your way back to the bowl that Hudson had been helping Matt mix.

“Can Daredevil stay and have brownies?” Hudson asked.

“Uh, Huds, you know it takes about a half an hour for these to bake,” you told him, carefully measuring out the vegetable oil.

“Please?” Hudson begged.

With a sigh, you poured the vegetable oil into the bowl before glancing at Matt beside you. He was looking at you through the red lenses of the mask, his lips quirked up on one corner as his head tilted curiously to the side.

“Maybe you should ask Daredevil,” you suggested. “He is usually busy.”

Hudson’s big, pleading eyes turned to Matt beside you. He was fortunate he couldn’t see the look on the three year old’s face because it was a look you often couldn’t say no to.

“Please stay for brownies?” he asked, his lip pushing out in a pout.

“After all our hard work?” Matt asked. “How could I not stay to eat them?”

Hudson began bouncing excitedly on the stool, expelling a loud, pleased squeal. Matt let out a laugh in response as he continued to mix the batter.

“Well Mr. Daredevil ,” you said, heading to a cabinet and pulling out a pan to bake the brownies in, “I’m assuming you haven’t eaten dinner yet, have you?”

Matt’s attention turned towards you, a little grin forming on his mouth. “I can’t say that I have, ma’am ,” he answered.

You pursed your lips, shooting him a pointed look you knew he could feel. “While these are baking, would you like some leftover pesto pasta?” you asked, grabbing the can of cooking spray from your counter to spray the pan with. “Because I can’t have you setting a poor example for Huds and eating dessert for dinner.”

“Well now, we certainly can’t have that,” he agreed. “Thank you.”

“Someone’s got to make sure the neighborhood vigilante stays fed,” you joked, spraying the pan with cooking spray. “I’ll heat some up once I get these in the oven.”

As the oven beeped behind you, letting you know it had reached temperature, your eyes lingered on Matt and Hudson. Matt’s large, ungloved hands were holding the bowl as Hudson was trying to stir the sticky mixture, once again babbling on about dinosaurs as Matt listened with an enraptured interest.

Somehow watching Matt interacting so well with your nephew tonight, despite being dressed in his Daredevil suit, was also doing something to you. Whether it was that 'baby fever' women often joked about finally kicking in or something else, you weren’t sure. But what you were sure of was that the next moment you had Matt alone after this, you were certainly going to repay him for his kindness to your nephew. And you found yourself suddenly really, really looking forward to that.

Matt’s attention snapped towards you instantly, his head canting curiously to the side as Hudson beside him continued on with his chattering as he stirred the brownie batter. You were sure Matt had just picked up on the hint of your arousal. You only smiled slowly before shooting him a wink yourself, the gesture drawing a slow smirk onto his lips in return.

Lees interest was peaked when he saw you through the window of the shop. He liked the smile on your face as you rung people up and he could almost hear the sweet tone in your voice.

He walked in unnoticed as you were already talking to someone at the register as they paid for their flowers.

Lee hid himself amongst the many roses in there store as he watched. Your voice was the sweetest thing he'd ever heard. After what felt like ages the customer finally left and he made his way to you.

"I've been looking around. What flowers do you think a handsome boy would want?" He asked casually, hands in his pockets.

His voice caught your attention and you looked up from the register where you were putting away money. "Oh well.. depends on the type of guy." You said, trying to understand what he meant exactly.

"Well.. what kind of flowers do you like?" Lee asked with a slight smirk. It grew as he watched your cheeks flush.

"Oh, well.." You looked around the store and pointed to the area with your favorite flowers. He nodded and smiled over his shoulder at you as he went to grab the best looking bouquet.

He returned with it and handed it to you. "Just those and your number, please." He said with a smile you knocked the wind from your chest.

Despite your shaky hands you were able to scribble out your number. It was surprisingly legible. "The flowers are on the house-" You tried but he stopped you. "They aren't for me." He said before putting cash on the counter.

"I'll call you!" He called back to you and waved as he got in his truck. You smelt the flowers in your hand before putting them in a vase that would keep them nice until you got home. You couldn't wait for that call.

I HOPE THIS WAS OK?? LEES LITERALLY SO AAAAA!! LOTS OF LOVEEE

Ghosts

Matt Donovan x Reader

Masterlist - Join My Taglist!

Written for Fictober 2023!

Fandom: The Vampire Diaries

Day 28 Prompt: "I may not get another chance to say this."

Summary: The scene where Matt jumps into the pool for a near-death experience, but with his SO instead of Bonnie.

Word Count: 1,288

Category: Angst, Fluff at the end

Putting work into an AI program without permission is illegal. You do not have my permission. Do not do it.

I was busy digging through a school supply closet in the middle of the night when my phone rang. I jumped at the noise, adrenaline pumping at having snuck into the high school in the dead of night with my friends. It was for senior prank night, so it's not like we would get in terrible trouble if we got caught, but still.

I ditched the rolls of toilet paper I'd been gathering to spread all over the school and grabbed my phone to see my boyfriend, Matt Donovan, staring back at me from the caller ID. I quickly answered.

"Matt, good news, I found the tp jackpot."

"Y/N... you remember the summer we met, working as life guards together at the town pool?"

I furrowed my brow, scooping a few rolls of toilet paper into my free hand as I responded.

"Yeah..."

"And you remember the hours we spent in classes getting CPR certified?"

"Unfortunately, yeah."

"Well... I'm gonna need you to put it to good use. I'm at the pool. I know this is gonna sound crazy, but... I think Vicki is trying to talk to me."

"What? Matt, what the hell are you talking about?"

I dropped the rolls of toilet paper and shut the closet door, then started heading for the pool.

"Jeremy told me he's been able to see ghosts since Bonnie brought him back from the dead," he said. I sped up, panic setting in a little at the tone in his voice.

"Matt, I'm not magic. And Bonnie barely managed to bring Jeremy back-"

"You don't need magic for CPR. I know you'll save me."

"Matthew Grant Donovan, don't you dare-"

"I'm sorry, Y/N, but I have to do this. If Vicki needs my help... I can't leave her. I trust you to save me."

"Matt, you're being insane!" I'd started running for the pool now, still not totally sure what Matt was thinking but definitely sure it wasn't good.

"I trust you to save me," he repeated. "But listen... just in case... I may not get another chance to say this, so... I love you. A lot. And after everybody I've lost, I can't tell you how happy I am to have you in my life."

"Whatever the hell you're thinking of doing, Donovan, don't-"

The call ended. I swore and shoved my phone into my pocket before doubling my pace. I slammed through the doors to the school's pool a few moments later and found Matt's shoes and keys at the pool's edge. I looked into the pool and found a shape floating near the bottom. Matt.

The kind of calm that only comes in a crisis washed over me, and I chucked off every layer of clothing I could easily lose before diving into the pool, using my momentum to reach Matt faster at the bottom. He'd strapped a weight around his stomach, the dumbass, and I quickly unfastened it before wrapping my arms around his waist and pushing upwards, shoving both feet off the bottom of the pool. Matt was heavy, but we rose quickly, and the urgency of the situation gave me the little extra strength I needed to heave him over the edge of the pool and onto dry land.

I took deep breaths as I leapt out of the pool, turning Matt over and checking for a pulse. I breathed a half sigh of relief when I found one, weak and thready though it was. I leaned over to check if he was breathing next, and found he wasn't. I didn't waste a second before calmly tipping Matt's head back, pinching his nose, and giving him two rescue breaths. I watched carefully to see his chest rise with my breath, then leaned back for a moment before doing another round.

I kept going, that emergency calm just starting to fray when Matt jerked awake, sitting up straight and looking at me wildly. He'd almost headbutted me right in the face he'd moved so fast and so suddenly, but thankfully I managed to rock back on my heels before he could make contact. We both sat still for a few moments, staring at each other with wide eyes while the adrenaline rushed through us, and then I punched Matt in the arm, hard.

"Ow! What the hell?" he cried, rubbing at his arm. He was dripping wet and still struggling to catch his breath a little, but the wave of calm had completely receded, and it had been replaced by pure anger.

"That's my line!" I screamed, smacking Matt a few more times, albeit with less force. "What the hell were you thinking? How could you do that to me? Do you know how horrifying it was to come in here and see you at the bottom of that pool? To think I might lose you? That I might fail, and you would die?"

"I'm sorry-"

"Not good enough! I get that Vicki is important to you, and you're still dealing with her death, but-"

"I saw her! I saw her, Y/N. She gave me a message for Bonnie."

I sighed heavily and closed my eyes, trying to get better control of my temper before I spoke again. After a second, I met Matt's wide blue eyes.

"Matt, you should've gone to Bonnie first. Or Jeremy. Or done literally any of about a thousand things before you tried to drown yourself, leaving me with a phone call and nightmares for the rest of my life about your dead body."

He looked down, guilty, shaking his head a little. I just sighed, sinking down onto the pool floor to sit next to him. We stayed like that for a few long moments, shoulder to shoulder and both of us processing. Finally, Matt looked at me again, distress written on every inch of his face.

"I'm sorry, Y/N. And I know that's not nearly enough for what I did, but... I hope it's at least a start. Everything that happened with Vicki... I think about it every day. I think about her every day. And I got so wrapped up in the chance at seeing her again that I didn't even think about putting you in the same position. I know it's too late to take back what I did but... I swear, I'll never do anything like that to you again."

I sighed, flopping my head onto Matt's shoulder. He wrapped his arm around me, and although we were both soaking wet and I'd started to get a little chilled, it didn't seem important right now.

"Never again, Matt? You swear?"

"I swear. On everything that's ever been important to me, I swear."

I nodded, still not picking my head up from his shoulder.

"Then okay. I can forgive you, and we can get through this. But seriously Matt, talk to me first next time. And then we'll talk to everyone else, and then we'll figure out a better plan than the one you just came up with."

"Deal."

"Good. Now let's get out of here and change into some dry clothes. Then we can find Bonnie and do whatever we can to help your sister."

Matt and I stood together, leaning on each other as we headed out of the room. No matter how many stupid plans he came up with, it didn't change the face that I loved him. We'd find a way to figure things out, no matter how weird Mystic Falls got.

Although, if I said I wasn't looking forward to leaving this town after graduating at the end of the year... I'd definitely be lying. Hopefully with a few more disasters like this, I'd be able to convince Matt it was worth it to leave too.

🌿🦴☁️ !!

hiiii Rose!!!!!!! ily <3

🌿 ⇢ give some advice on writer's block and low creativity

STEP. AWAY. FROM. THE . COMPUTER!!!!

The countless times I've gotten writers block and just stubbornly sat at the computer for god knows how long bc i wanted to do something even if I had nothing to type, sometimes id try to force myself to write when I wasn't even in the mood!!!

Get away from where you write! Go outside, watch a bumblebee lazily smack into flowers. Go to the store, or the mall, or the park. Turn on that show or movie you've been wanting to watch! Give your brain a break and do something you enjoy yet also productive (yes watching a new show is productive at least in my head) so you get the dopamine. You're either fried from making masterpieces or just need some new source material! Some of my best ideas came from me getting a good night sleep, or when I'm simply driving to and from places, or being inspired reading another fic, watching a show (daredevil lately lol), etc etc. My fic The Trap literally came from me standing out in the snow one day and thinking about Logan. it just built up from there! STIMULATION. You're not making the brain cells work just by staring at a screen in one spot!

🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing?

I think whatever I'm really into at the time will be what inspires me. Like I've been bingeing Daredevil (and just finished Defenders) with my parents and while a lot of my fics aren't related to daredevil in any way I was inspired to write smth good bc of the show. Also I've included daredevil in my forgotten fic so that'll be fun.

I just really like matt murdock. i think he's neat. Catholic guilt and vigilante justice is just a great combo.

Sometimes I go back to some of my fav video games! Like my recent Bioshock obsession, it inspired me to write Logan/bioshock fics which I haven't touched but will eventually!!!

☁️ ⇢ what made you choose your username?

I wanted something based off daydreams because i'm hella maladaptive daydreamer!!!! all my life. I consider my writing based off my daydreams.

so I was searching other words that weren't just daydream but related to daydreams

You could probs tell from this how I got the "Lost in", and I added loving bc my daydreams tend to be related to whichever blorbo i got a crush on (logan lol)

Finding You Always 2

Also on FF.net and A03

Chapter 1: Prelude to Conflict

Five years. Five years of peace had settled over the United Realms and it was a very welcome thing that none of them had taken for granted. At first, the release of Ouranos, such a God of destruction like him, had been very troublesome. Clayton's perversion of his destruction was even worse. Many universes had Gods of destruction to keep the balance. These Gods, like Ouranos, could lay waste to a planet with the blink of an eye. Clayton's intent to erase the truest loves though by separating them by death and inserting himself would have left this planet Earth in eternal darkness. There was no balance in that. Hermes had worried his release would have consequences, but so far, she had seen no evidence of it under her meticulous watch. Until now.

Her morning rounds had started out as any other day, but something strange had sparked her interest. She peered over the edge of her lookout, which floated high in the sky above the planet Earth of this realm. From her viewing pond, she couldn't be sure what she was seeing, so she put herself in a bubble and disappeared. She reappeared at the edge of realms, where the All World River, the gateway to infinite universes and realms swirled violently before her. Her caduceus staff appeared in her hand and she carefully stuck it into the waters to test what she had seen, though it was only a glimmer; so much so that she had almost missed it. When she pulled her staff back, she was stunned at what she found. How long had she been missing this? How long had there been a problem that was only now appearing as a glimmer? She didn't know what to make of the sickly magenta slime that covered her staff.

"Dear Gaia…what does this mean?" she uttered in disbelief. She didn't know yet and because of that, she didn't want to inform James and Aphrodite yet. They would need to soon know, but first, she needed more information and that meant a little realm hopping was in order. Steeling herself and taking a breath, her bubble reappeared and she disappeared into the All World River…

~*~

David had never been good at hiding his emotions. He was a passionate man, never afraid to express those feelings for those he loved and the warrior side of him had always clearly shown pride when he saw his kids displaying their unique powers and gifts in the name of defending all that was good and just. His six children were all exceptional in their own ways, with vast power and unique skills.

Their eldest Emma, the clear leader, and an affinity for more general magic, though it often manifested as white fire when needed most. Leo, in addition to his gift with animals, channeled most of his magic in the form of lightning at his fingertips.

Eva, the healer among them, channeled hers often from the very air as pink tendrils of wind. Summer, aptly named, since her bubbles formed from the waters all around them.

Then there were the youngest in their brood. Bobby and Flynn. His youngest biological son was somewhat of an amalgamation of all his siblings. He drew his power from the very earth itself, therefore able to channel all the elements and wield it like energy from his hands. Then there was Flynn and though he was adopted, they had discovered he had an incredible affinity for hand to hand combat, both in hands and with a sword.

When he had started Flynn's Knight training, five years ago, they had wondered if he could learn magic, even though he wasn't born with it. However, he was a bit disappointed to find that he couldn't harness any magic, no matter how hard he tried. To keep him from feeling left out or like he wasn't one of them, David began a rigorous training schedule with him and discovered that his aptitude with a sword was prodigious and soon awakened a sleeping warrior inside him of the likes which David had never quite seen. He recognized his immense potential for fighting and decided to enlist someone far more skilled at hand to hand combat than him; particularly martial arts. There weren't many martial arts masters around in the United Realms, for most that had any kind of power relied on magic rather than the discipline of the fighting arts. But there was one. Mulan.

To say that the female warrior was excited at the prospect of someone else having an affinity for martial arts like her, was an understatement. From his first lesson, it was like a light was turned on inside Flynn and the pace at which he mastered everything Mulan taught him was completed with such ease and speed, it left both he and the warrior flabbergasted at times. Flynn had gone from a novice to a master to completely surpassing Mulan in martial arts in the short five years, so much so that he now trained regularly in hand to hand combat with the Asgardian army. It was then Fandral's turn to be stunned at the boy's seemingly unusual strength for a human that seemed to now exist within him. Fandral often joked that he truly wondered if Flynn was perhaps Asgardian, after all.

As far as brute strength, he gave Bobby a run for his money now, with the latter actually having to use magic to strengthen his limbs when they sparred. Today, they were doing sword work and watching the two young men always drew quite a crowd, especially among the Asgardian warriors. While David usually wore his sword in a scabbard on his hip, Flynn had taken to wearing his around by a crossbody strap on his back and was rarely seen without it these days.

The two smirked at each other and panted heavily, pausing to catch their breath. Bobby loved to fight almost as much as Flynn and it gave David a bit of ease knowing that they would be there to step in as protectors of the United Realms as he aged. Not that he was old by any means. The Chalice had slowed his and Snow's aging to barely a crawl. By now, they should have been somewhere in their seventies if you counted curse years, but they looked and felt like they were still in their late thirties.

"Not so cocky without magic…are you?" Flynn taunted. They had agreed that Bobby wouldn't use magic, unless it was just in his limbs since that was in his blood and naturally enhanced his strength.

"Please…I've had a sword in my hand since I was a toddler. I don't need magic," Bobby bragged. They were brothers and best friends. Any jabs at each other were purely talk with no real malice behind it. Both his boys were witty, but at least Flynn had a little more tact, whereas Bobby had absolutely none.

"Enough trash talk. Katas," Mulan ordered. Both sheathed their swords in the scabbards resting on their backs like a pair of non lookalike twins, before sinking into fighting stance and going through their martial arts katas with Mulan. When Flynn took an interest in martial arts, so did Bobby, and he learned alongside him. It made David a bit angry sometimes that Gothel had hidden his origins from all of them. Flynn should have come to them from the start. He felt it in his bones and he should have been spared a harder life and been raised alongside Bobby from the beginning. He and Snow hated that he'd been a street kid, because of that witch. Sometimes he wanted to apply for a search warrant to tear apart her whole shop to see what else she was hiding, but he didn't have cause. The witch was careful and somehow still stealing youth from somewhere. He was sure it was a crime, but he couldn't prove it. Where she could be getting the magic, he didn't know, but he knew it was stolen nonetheless. His family was the obvious source of magic, but he knew there were other sources to tap. He just wished he knew where.

The Gothel of their land was supposedly not as dangerous as the one they had encountered and ultimately battled from Starcomb. But he had long felt that this one could be just as much of a threat if they continued to let her run her operation. However, until she made any overtly illegal moves, his hands were tied.

Once both boys were sweating profusely from exertion, Mulan finally dismissed them for the day. Now came the inevitable trip to Granny's to fill their empty stomachs, which also came with family time.

"Hit the showers and then we'll swing by and get your Mom on the way," he told them, as he walked out of the training facility where only the best warriors in the United Realms trained. Right in the backyard to the Andresian palace.

"Their prowess as warriors never ceases to amaze," Fandral mentioned, as they met up outside.

"I know…Flynn's potential really is as remarkable as Bobby's innate abilities," David agreed.

"It's good to know that the future of the United Realms will be in hands like these, even if neither of us is going anywhere for a long time," Fandral said. He nodded.

"Yeah…as much as I'm enjoying the peace, I wonder how long it will be until another enemy appears. I hate that I think that, but after everything we've been through, it's hard not to," David admitted.

"I do as well, but at least we are keeping up our training and have not become complacent, which would be a fatal error," he replied. David nodded.

"We'll see you at Granny's later," Fandral said, as they broke off and David met up with the boys, who were cleaned up and freshly showered.

"Ready?" he asked. They nodded, as David pressed a button his watch, designed by Hyde for all of them, and a sparkling orange portal appeared before them, providing instant transportation to Storybrooke.

~*~

It had been a very long time since Hermes had come to this place. Even during all the turmoil in her home realm, she had never needed to consult with other Gods and otherworldly beings from other universes. Only in the direst of circumstances did a God or Goddess come to this place. It was a place of bright white light and wispy clouds. Among the clouds were many pillars and sort of even resembled different hubs like at a train station. An infinite amount of hubs, as all the Gods from infinite universes could come here to meet if needed. And it was definitely needed now.

"Hermes…it's been a very long time," a gentle, kind voice said. She smiled and bowed slightly, as he did as well. He was a short man, with lavender skin and a white mohawk for hair.

"Shin…it has, centuries in fact," she said, as she followed him into one of the hubs and it became a knoll of grass, complete with trees. Shin's own planet.

"I'm glad to have some company, though I sense you are not here for pleasantries," he said. And that's when she noticed his blank viewing pond.

"Your universe…" she uttered, as she observed the nothingness.

"Yes…I'm afraid it was slowly all destroyed and not by its destroyer, I'm afraid," Shin said.

"How is that possible?" she asked.

"A terrible, very evil being started by destroying my Earth. But then something worse came along and erased it all, until there was nothing. Then it moved onto other worlds. I was about to summon many of us, but I assume you are here, because you have discovered the problem," Shin said.

"I didn't know what I had discovered or how big of a problem it was, but now seeing this…I must know what is going on," she said, as she showed him her caduceus with the slime residue. He waved his hand and a hologram of the All World River appeared before them. She watched as the swirling portals that represented a realm or universe slowly flickered with light, before dying completely. They were dead, void of light, and at the pace it was happening, it was alarming and completely unnatural. From time to time, universes died and flickered out of existence, due to calamity or tragedy, but at a pace like this, it meant something was very wrong.

"Shin…what is doing this? Is my Earth next?" she asked.

"Yes…there is some time to prepare, but the slime you found means there is already evil seeping into your Earth," he replied.

"I must know the whole story…I must know what this is before I return to Aphrodite and her charges," Hermes said.

"Yes…your universe has much more hope than some. A fighting chance, perhaps," he said.

"The truest loves…" Hermes said.

"Them and their offspring, yes…but there is another that may be the key to tipping the scales in our favor," Shin replied. Hermes' brow furrowed and a large man approached, with a ruddy complexion and long white hair.

"This is a very long story and we need tea," Shin said, as his attendant set the tray down.

"Thank you Kibito…now I must begin about twenty three years ago…"

~*~

They should have been used to it by now, but people still side eyed the Charming table, as their youngest sons made quick work of plate after plate of food. Before he began training as a Knight and in Martial Arts, Flynn ate a normal portion like any other normal person. But since starting his training, his appetite had expanded exponentially to the point that he now rivaled Bobby when it came to the amount of food he could put away. It was astounding, but the boys' training was intense and nothing to balk at, so no one really thought it was unusual for Flynn since Bobby's appetite was so legendary.

"Storybrooke really needs a buffet or something," Emma commented.

"Yeah right…there's no way a buffet could stay in business with this family," Leo replied, with a mouthful of food, earning him a look of disdain from his wife.

"I know your mother taught you better manners than that and I expect you to be better in front of our daughter," she scolded lightly. Leo stopped eating and swallowed, before smiling sheepishly.

"Sorry hon," he apologized, before making a goofy face at their flaxen haired daughter, who sat next to her mother. Winter giggled.

"Yeah…good thing you two are filthy rich, cause I don't know how you'd pay the tab for this brood otherwise," Granny commented, as she handed the check to David.

"Trust me…me either," he replied. Snow smiled, especially at her youngest boys. They were both dating, but still living at home in their castle and she was in no hurry for them to leave. Add to that, she now had six grandchildren and one great grandchild. Obviously Henry was grown now and her great grandchild, Lucy was as well, only a year younger than Bobby. But their castle was full of little ones in Hope, who was nine now, Winter, who was six, twins Jayden and Mia, who were five now, and Summer and JJ's four year old son, Hunter. Their family had grown quite a lot in the last five years and she knew it would continue to do so.

"And you used to make fun of me for how much I eat," Bobby teased. Flynn rolled his eyes.

"Yeah…yeah, you're never going to let that go, are you?" he asked.

"Nope," Bobby replied.

"So…what do you two have planned tonight?" Snow inquired. They looked at their mother and knew that was code for did they either of them have a date tonight.

"Uh…I think Zia is busy with her parents tonight," Bobby replied.

"Yeah…and Ari is probably with her parents too. I think we're going out tomorrow night," Flynn replied. Snow couldn't help herself. The four of them were so cute together. Neither relationship was very serious yet, but she knew both relationships were likely to go the distance.

"Yeah, we're pretty tired from training so we'll probably just go home and watch a movie or something," Flynn said. That was perfect for Snow; she loved having them around in the evening. After paying the check, they did just that, going home with the boys, while parting ways with their older children, who went to their own homes with their families.

"By the Gods…" Hermes uttered, as she let Shin's story sink in for a few moments.

"Damn Atanos to the pits of Tartarus!" she said hotly, as she got up and paced a few strides.

"Yes…this High Priest truly opened up a can of worms with the release of Ouranos, though I believe it was the choice of host that truly put in motion the chain reaction that began destroying worlds," Shin said.

"Clayton…" Hermes growled.

"Yes…quite a formidable man for having no real battle power," Shin mentioned.

"The absolute worst," she agreed.

"I just don't know how I break all this to the truest loves…or most of all Flynn…or…I guess that's not his real name, after all," Hermes said.

"No…but it is a name he chose himself and one we will honor until he makes the choice as to whether to don his birth name," Shin replied. She nodded.

"I…I know mortals are not usually allowed here, but I think I need to bring them with Aphrodite and her husband. I think they need to see all of this first," she mentioned. Shin nodded.

"Exceptions are made for exceptional mortals and they are that. It was my intent to see that Flynn made his way to them as an infant. I hand picked them, but that horrible man had them captive elsewhere at the time," Shin explained.

"Yes…Flynn came while Snow and Charming were captives in Atlantis and then the second curse threw so much chaos at us that Gothel used it to her advantage," Hermes said, clearly upset by it, as she knew Snow and Charming would be. Gothel's interference in Flynn's life was far deeper than they thought and her lies had deprived him of his adopted family unnecessarily. Arrest warrant or not, she knew Charming was likely to throw her in prison and toss the key through a portal.

"I'll go now and make preparations to bring them here. But even…even if the boy's powers and true heritage are awakened, is it enough? It was not enough for his father…and other fighters," she said.

"I don't know…he has help here too and in some ways, magic could be key here. It's not something they had, so combined with ki powers, it could be the edge needed. But there is no way to know…they must all train fiercely. Evil is stirring and it will soon make itself known, sooner rather than later," Shin said, as he sighed.

"It has not been stopped yet and your realm is next. If it is not stopped here…I don't see what chance the rest have, save for perhaps a similar one to mine where things did not go so badly," he added and then smiled thinly.

"Ironically due to another version of this boy…he is very important to many timelines it seems, regardless of the version," he said. She nodded.

"I'll return soon…" she promised, as she exited the Kai's world and arrived back at King's Crossing, before her bubble transported home to her Temple. But she did not stop there and headed straight for Mount Olympus…

the gods cry because they cannot strike me down / and the rain washes away / ashes of the ghost of me

Hello hello and Welcome to my page!

I've been lingering on tumblr for a while and just never got around to really posting or reblogging anything, as most of the time I'm alright to just lurk and enjoy things quietly.

That said, I've been getting more into posting fanart and whatnot recently, so I thought I'd make a blog! Not just to post art but to yap about my favorite fandoms and find people with similar interests, too. I'll hunt down that content - and if there is none, I'll make it myself!

Feel free to leave asks or anything, and enjoy your stay here. <3

Get To Know Me!

An individual of many nicknames! My name is Phoenix, aka SingedHazards. Phoenix, Singed, Hazard, or any variation of the sorts is fine by me!

I am 18! My birthday is May 4th. :<) (Despite the birthday, I am actually not a star wars fan.)

My favorite number is 2! hence the user. 2singedthoughts.

I don't care much about pronouns either way, but I prefer it/its or they/them.

I am LGBTQ+! Polyam and Ace <3

I like talking about my interests, and hearing about others'! My favorite color is brown. I'm an animal lover and an artist. You can probably tell from the whole aesthetic so far that I like fire. I like space, too, and storms, and flowers and birds and nature. I enjoy seeing the magic in things.

I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time! There's nothing I particularly dislike, other than math. I never have any idea what I'm doing when it comes to math.

Where to find me?

You can shoot me a message if you're interested in talking on discord! It's really the only social media I'm super active on.

Other than that I have a Twitter where sometimes, once in a blue moon, I post some art. https://x.com/2DesignHazards

Fandoms?

Yessir, I have my share of those! I'll try to keep the list small lmfao.

-Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss

-MCRP or other such Minecraft content. (FavreMySabre is my most notable fixation; TSSO, TSS, SL, RQ, TR and AR) (Calvin's From The Fog S1 and S2) (I do enjoy some good MC Horror. I've been into the ARGs lately.) (UHC Generations!) (HermitCraft! Grian and Mumbo on HC mostly, but I've been following Gem, Scar, Doc and Tango as well.) (I watch Hardcore YTers every now and again, whatever video happens to catch my attention on the recommended page)

-Dead By Daylight, Phasmo, Project Zomboid and Lethal Company are some of my more commonly played games. (I don't have specific content creators for these, if I watch anything I just click on whatever looks the most entertaining.)

-Roblox player! Flee The Facility, Abyss World and Spray Paint are my go-tos. (I don't watch Roblox content a lot, but when I do it's usually Flamingo or Remainings. Sometimes Rogurt and ratskewer)

-Some miscellaneous creators I enjoy as well; IGP, Insym, Matt Rose, AstralSpiff, LetsGameItOut, ManlyBadassHero and Fooster!

You may notice I'm a horror enjoyer lmaoo. Anything with some good chaos in it will immediately pique my interest. There's more than that too, so really just hit me up. If I don't know the creator or game, I love discovering new things anyway! :<)

Miscellaneous Information

I'm not like, a professional at making intro pages or anything so for now this is all I have to say. I'll probably come back and edit and add more or remove some stuff later as I see fit, but this is a good start!

Like I said in the beginning, feel free to send asks,

and I hope you've enjoyed the stay. :<)

Hello Dragon, Happy Lunar New Year 9th -11th February 2024

For a first time in a long time , Matt and my friends welcomed the new year at Braybrook Temple at midnight. We had the annual BBH I caught up with Carole, Arthur, Thai , Luan, Hong, Anita and later on we caught up briefly with Sophia and Cam. Mike and Jane were also there too. They some how found me in the crowd of full tables. Hung out with them a bit. Mike has gotten so good at the can throwing game to the point that Jane had enough roses to be a bouquet.

We walked around and took some photos. This year, they had a lot of photo stations so you can pose and take photos. It was the most elaborate I've ever seen it. Carole and Arthur bought some fortune letters which Google attempted to translate which did not make sense. But we all had a good laugh over it. I went inside the temple to pay my respects to my grandfather. By midnight , we watched fireworks and lion and drawing dancing.

The next day, we had lunch at Ho Chi Mama with Matt's family and my parents. Only Fran and Casey came. They joined us at the NGV Triennial exhibitions. I hope to host something like this next year. I just didn't have time and energy to host another event at our house but next year, I would like to host something at home instead.

On Sunday, my parents hosted the family lunar new year afternoon late lunch/early dinner with my extended family from my dad's side. It was the first time I was giving red pockets to my nephews. Matt and I sat on the chairs like grown ups and the kids had to chuc/wish us well. They were all so cute. I also got the boys some toys for making the gingerbread house. I got them bubbles sticks and light sabres. They looked like they had fun hitting Matt with it.

It was a very busy weekend with family and friends. I feel very grateful and happy to have the people and the things I have in my life. I feel very happy and for the first time in my life I feel very rich. I have everything I need in this life to be happy. Last year was a very good year and I have been very lucky the last few years have kind and good to me I hope it will continue to be this way this year too.

Just started season 7 of our Doctor Who rewatch (the last season I watched the first time around) I'm remembering again why I sorta fell out with the show at this point. I genuinely like Matt Smith's doctor but oh my god they seriously try to tease The Doctor's death every goddamn episode of season 6, every episode the companions go through some of the most insane horrible shit and by the end of the episode it's all magically undone and forgotten. And it's not like I'm not mad that it's episodic, I'm a star trek fan for christs sakes, there's actually just 0 stakes.

Oh, now Rory's a plastic robotic centurian who was present for 2000 years of history and is older than the doctor and basically immortal? I sure hope they don't completely forget about that 2 episodes later and do nothing with it... Amy has a storyline where she's pregnant? Wait. Not pregnant. Nope, pregnant again. Pregnant, but this time we don't see it at all. Huh, turns out Amy wasn't even there for the past several episodes she was in a pregnancy tube? Are they gonna explain how that works? No? Aw, and now she can't get pregnant and it's the worst thing ever ):

Also the misogyny?? I thought maybe it was exagerated in my memory from internet discourse and being a teenager but no that shit is so blatant. The over-the-top Shock at the suggestion that a completely alien entity might consider a woman to be stronger than a man, and the reason? Women can make babies. Not her spirit, not her love or resilience, no. She has a womb. All of the "I hate my wife" jokes and the "women, amiright?" punchlines. I remember last time around I really wasn't a fan of Amy at all and this time around I wanted to give her a second chance but she just doesn't have a personality, I've got nothing to work with. She had no family or friends, she basically never mentions having a life outside the doctor, her entire schtick is being obsessed with the doctor and making her husband feel like trash over and over again. A lot of the time she just does things for no reason but luckily it always works out plotwise. Oh but she's pretty, when she does have a life on earth she becomes a model so that's something I guess. Also she can't have kids and it's very bad ): like sorry but idk why we got almost 2 and a half seasons with her, cuz it sure didn't feel that long with Rose.

And even though I haven't seen most of Clara's episodes from what I remember I worry it's probably the same with her. Another blank canvas who'll do anything for The Doctor...

Idk man, big rant. My partner's been watching all of this for the first time and has had 0 exposure to fandom and they're seeing all the same things I do so I know I'm not just being an unreasonable fan lol

#makes me worried that reviews start to drop with the next 2 doctors but those same reviews hold season 6/7 in high regard so idk #also obviously people were review bombing the 13th doctor but even still there seems to be a consensus that the next writer isn't very good #i should probably stop looking too far ahead lol

I've realized that I've laughed a lot in the past week, and it's been so long since I've been able to do that.

It's not like I was depressed or anything, I just didn't really have anything to laugh at or be excited about. Maybe I was tired, at least tired enough that the kind of videos I watch and content I consumed just didn't feel as funny as it used to.

But after going to a convention at the tail end of March, and tuning in for as much of the HC charity event as I could, and watching Matt Rose and Failboat for the first time in a while, and getting into and out of bed earlier, and finally starting school again, well, I think it's pretty nuts how the little things can make a difference.

And I didn't realize it then, but before the convention, I can't remember the last time I wholly, truly laughed. Like, verbal cackling and guffaws and teary eyes and running out of breath and keeling over as your stomach hurts from all of it.

And I'd also forgotten how good it feels.

I think that I've really taken happiness for granted, because I assumed that normalcy and the feeling of being "fine" was a form of happiness. But actual happiness is wonderful, and it's usually not hard to find if you're able to look for it. It could be as simple as watching a comedian you like, or making a piece of art, or baking something. It could also be as simple as opening your window and listening to the rain. It could even just be replaying a game you loved that you haven't touched in a long time.

Another thing I'd forgotten was how much energy you get from laughter, and the wonderful relaxed feeling you get once the boost fades. I think I finally understand why they say "laughter is the best medicine".

And one more thing: Writing this reminded me of my New Years Resolution, which if you're reading this, you might like.

"To be a crow is to find joy in the little things. This year I want to be like a crow." (Resolution inspired by the Crow Time comics)

I think I'm gonna post this as a kind of time capsule for myself. I actually just finished watching Failboat's newest video, in which I nearly threw up from laughing so hard, and I don't want to forget that.

I'm gonna go be a crow :D
