#(back when we didn't know Jes would be his partner)

[yujeong]

does boc stick with its branded pair? or do they switch switch off their actors with others bcos ive seen really some potential chemistry between other actors 😭 im sorry. ive just started 4minutes and i know im late to the news but bas and fuaiz are really compatible? hello? never thought of that? i hope we'd get more basfuaiz pairings in the future and i don't think people would agree w this but also, bible and jj HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH like 😭 one of my "ghostship" idk of other people find them okay too let me know hwhahaha

Anon, besides MileApo for which Pond has made a million jokes and statements about them being inseparable , everyone else is basically fair game in my opinion. Meaning, Mile and Apo will always be a couple in BOC's productions, but every other actor could potentially be romantically/sexually involved with any other actor in future shows. As you said, Bas and Fuaiz was a big surprise to all of us, even the older fans like myself. BOC also surprised us with Ta and Barcode being romantically involved in Dead Friend Forever; they'd probably seen some fans being interested in those two from the KinnPorsche The Series days. Good for the MacauChay fans honestly, I was very happy for them. So yeah, BOC clearly doesn't care about branded pairs, at least not in the same way GMMTV and the rest of the industry seems to do. As someone who mostly cares about the shows themselves and if they're, well, enjoyable to watch and consume, I'm very happy with their approach. Oh and btw, Bible and Jjay is an inspired choice and one I haven't seen mentioned anywhere before. Live your truth, anon!

Day 30: Feelings You Can't Hide - A post-ep for "Bad Blood" obviously. A jealous Mulder, an attempt at humor and the hint of angst may be found here.

Day 31: Trick or Treat - IVF arc, angsty fluff: They're supposed to go to the Gunmen's Halloween party, but there's something they need to make sure of first.

[destinyc1020]

I feel like we all feel the same but I got the vibe when z and JE were together that they were kinda bored like there was no playfulness. All speculation guys but From Z’s side I think she thought he was hot but he didn’t understand her humor so she scaled back. Idk if he understood the people around her either like Darnell etc like i doubt he listens or cares for Beyoncé for example lol Hence why she was lurking on Tom shit on twitter because she was able to do those things with Tom. From JEs perspective I think he thought z was cute and she was fun to hang out with at first but he probably found her childish and couldn’t understand the deal with memes ( makes me sad because she didn’t go to a real school so she probably is online a lot lol) or maybe understand the people around her or her taste in music and humor and found her boring and even worse like too childish. He also probably hated her clean public persona and couldn’t deal. I think JEs true love was Kaia. The way his relationship with her was the most authentic to him. They were the most similar in personality and humor. They probably liked the same things. But back to z, the playfulness she has with Tom their entire relationship with lipsync battle them jumping up and down in the Beyoncé concert laughing and giggling in interviews that could never happen with JE. Tom understands her humor and even adds to it. I think you can only do so much with looks. And to the girls, guys will never give you the affection you need unless they really really like you. I think z wanted affection from JE and he was blah because he wasn’t into her like that. He just didn’t like her and that is fine lol the part that bothers me is I know z felt insecure because he was hanging out with Kaia while he was with her and she knew. Z was liking Kaia’s pics too imagine the questioning and insecurity the wondering too. And then to be proven right on your birthday with pics with the same girl you are keeping an eye on. And for all this to be public lol lawd

Yea girl, I def think TZ have always had something special, that they just didn't have with their other significant others and flings/rebounds. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I never felt that Z and JE's energy matched. For example, Z is way more light-hearted, fun, and loves to laugh and smile. Whereas JE always seemed sooo serious and seemed to take himself a bit too seriously?

Even the way he handled the paprazzi on their pap stroll in NYC was totally different (him flipping them bird vs her trying to put his hand down). 🥴

They just seemed to have some very different values.

I won't say that JE didn't get along with Darnell. Darnell seems pretty easy-going. 🤷🏾‍♀️ If JE clashed with anyone in Z's circle, it was probably Claire and Law lol 🤭

Law took that one trip with them to Greece, and you never saw Law with them ever again. And Law seems like he speaks his mind, and is pretty as fvk lol 😆

Claire seemed meh about him, and always preferred Tom over JE (that was pretty obvious 🤭).

The only thing I will add though is about the music thing.... You and your partner do NOT have to like the same type of music, movies, or even food. These little things are not what keep a relationship together. Yea, while it's nice if you and your bf both love the same type of music, I know of friends who are married and they always joke to me about how they and their husbands do not like the same joke at all lol. 😅

Those are very small things Anon lol.

Also, how do we know that JE doesn't like Beyoncé? We really don't know that lol.

But anyway, that's the only thing I would add to this.

To me, TZ are the definition of a couple that are soul mates. Meaning, they're not just dating each other, but they also genuinely LOVE each other as FRIENDS. THAT type of love with your partner is very hard to find. That's the type that only comes once or twice in a lifetime imo.

🥰❤️

2024 Watchlist Wrapped

Dropped

My Love Mix-up (ep. 4) - as each episode aired, it became increasingly clear that GMMTV has lost the plot with Gem4th. I don't think they realized that Gem4th can be more than TinnGun.

Wandee Goodday (ep. 1) - nothing was really wrong here, I just got distracted in the middle of the episode and learned from cultural osmosis that nothing happened in the show that would have looped me back in.

Completed

My StandIn - watched purely off of hype, was not disappointed but was definitely confused at times.

Summer Night (JewelTan Cut) - because I only paid attention when Ryu and Java were on the screen...together, I'm sure I missed a lot. Though, given who their new partners are in the 2025 lineup of BLs, I think it's for the best GMMTV didn't continue on with them.

Century of Love - cute but there were many issues that could have been fixed. Offroad's improved acting, excellent lewks, and some of the more daring scenes (like with Road dressed as the kitsune) made it worth the watch.

4Minutes - Bas is really fucking good. Like I believed he was Korn at times. Fuaiz is a straight up star. While he's clearly doesn't have the lighter touch of say, Bas or Jes, he's still got a whole lot of career ahead of him, which means even more improvement. I thought the plot was cool but the best part was the execution. I could do a whole Good and Bad of on this one.

Lovesick 2024 - Progress has a very bright career ahead of him if he continues on as an actor. This is not to say that the other boys weren't good, but Progress really did outact, outperform, outsell. I will give credit to the other boys though, especially NJ, Krit, and Almond who all had standout scenes that showed me some serious potential for dramatic acting. Almond is already the king of pining and he's just a kid. Baby Toto was just charismatic the entire time (plus his singing voice is undeniably one of the best in the industry). For the rest of the mains, I know it must have been difficult to embody these characters who have been in the cultural zeitgeist almost as long as some of them have been alive, but I have hope that these actors will get the coaching they need to continue to nurture their talent (if they choose to continue with acting). I could do a Good and Bad of on this one as well.

Now Playing

Perfect 10Liners (YothaGun Cut) - So far, I'm loving the lore behind Gun's character. The way ep 9 (ep 1 of YothaGun's story) ended gave me soooo much hope for PerthSanta moving forward. The only questionable thing is Santa's acting here. But I still want to see where they take Gun.

The Heart Killers - So far, this show is a hot mess and has GMMTV written all over it. Just when I think the story is getting interesting, they hit us with some bullshit. The most interesting couple for me is whatever tf is going on with PepperJJ's characters? Like THAT is intriguing, especially given that the twins NEVER really do BL characters.

ThamePo: Heart That Skips A Beat - The budget on this one is INSANE. Like...not even for a GMMTV production but for a Thai BL production period. It's up there with the likes of BOC productions in terms of how much money they're putting into this. It's generally nice to look at, has lived-in set pieces, and the audio!!! It's a huge step up from what we usually get. Plus, WilliamEst are giving EarthMix vibes so far. I can't wait to see where the story goes.

Conclusion

All in all 2024 has been a very mid year for BLs for me. If anyone has any suggestions of other BLs to watched that were released in 2024, let me know! I think I might watch Love in the Big City before the year is over.

Ferris Wheel Blues: D.T X ALEX FIC

TW: Acrophobia(Heights), Basophobia(Falling), panic attacks and anxiety, s*lf-h*rm

Please be warned

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was warm outside. Alex and D.T had taken the day off work to spend some time together at a fair. The whole day D.T had been begging Alex to go on the ferris wheel with him. Of course, Alex had been putting it off. "Later dear.", "After this ride.", "After we eat.", and more excuses of the like, until it was nearly the fairs closing time, and Alex couldn't use anymore excuses. D.T beamed as they got into the basket. Alex became extremely tense as the ride powered on.

The first go around was ok. Alex kept his head down on the way up and he seem to get paler as it went down, but everything seemed ok. The second go around, the ride stopped. Alex and D.T where stuck at the top. "Dammit. What the-" D.T started to say before a voice cut him off. "Attention riders. The ferris wheel has malfunctioned. A mechanic will be here as soon as possible. We thank you for your paitents." D.T sighed and looked out the basket. "Huh, I guess we got the best place to stop, right Alex?" D.T paused. "Alex?"

D.T finally looked over at his partner. Alex was sweating beads, pale as paper, and shaking like a leaf. His wings were out. 'Why would he bring his wings out? He can't fly.' D.T thought. Alex gripped his crimson wings and started pulling feathers out, mumbling to himself. "JESUS- Alex! Stop that!" D.T yelped, jumping up from his seat. Alex did stop, but it was just to scream in terror. D.T sat back down as Alex cried. "Je ne veux pas tombé! Je ne veux pas tombé! Arreté! Arreté s'il vous plait!." It was clear at this point that Alex was having a panic attack. His breaths were raggedy and short, he was crying, sweating and still yanking out crimson feathers from his wings. And D.T couldn't help, since trying to move towards Alex would cause him more distress.

It was another 20 minutes until the ride was fixed. D.T managed to talk Alex out of pulling out feathers, but he had turned to rocking and scratching his arms violently. When everything was really quiet, D.T could figure out what Alex was saying. All he was whispering was 'Not again' over and over. Suddenly, the ride jolted to a start. Alex's head shot up and his breathing quicked, if that were even possible. He was crying even harder as the ride repeatedly descended, then stopped, then descended again. As soon as they got off, D.T didn't even let Alex set foot on the ground. Instead, he grab Alex's crutch, scoop him up, and carried him to the car.

"Je suis désolé, D.T" This was the first thing Alex had said since they got off the ride. He had said nothing on the ride home, during dinner or anything. Donald and Douglas were staying with their partners, so they weren't home, but Dash and Bash were, and they seemed very worried about their dad. D.T looked up from brushing Alex's hair. "I don't know a lot of french puppy, but I think that your apologizing to me. Is that correct?" Alex nodded. "You don't need to apologize. It was my fault anyway. If I had noticed that you were trying to avoid going on the ferris wheel out of fear, I wouldn't have made you go on it." D.T said, looking at Alex's wings and arms. His arms weren't bad, he hadn't drawn blood from scratching, but his wings had small bald patches. D.T sighed. "Come on puppy, lets go to bed."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

@jammyjams1910 @just-a-douglas-simp-existing

Alex's mutterings do have a meaning. Be on the look out ;).

[justafanwarrior]

Tim would like to say it was a genuine accident. He just forgot to mention his husband and then it had been so long that he ... Forgot that he forgot to mention him.

Tim loved his husband and he loved their children. He loved Jordan in all his grumpy glory, he loved Ellie and her free spirit, he loved his sister-in-law, he loved his parents-in-law, both living and dead and he loved his husband's platonic life partners in the shape of his two best friends.

And he wanted them to meet his family ! He really did! He just wished it wouldn't be like that.

He just wished they didn't meet because someone got a lucky shot while he was out as Tim Drake. He had been quite publicly shot in the shoulder and where his spleen used to be. Which meant of course that he was brought to a hospital. Which meant of course that as his family waited outside his husband had been called.

Which of course resulted in a shouting match when Dick refused to let in who he deemed a stranger. And Danny, the worrier that he is, grew angrier the longer it went.

With a long suffering sigh Tim slowly rose up and walked toward the door before anyone on either side had enough and started throwing hands.

Was Tim touched that the whole batfamily (except for Cass who je could only assume had went after whoever shot him) was there? Even Jason and the Demon brat? Yes, not that he would let them know. Was he surprised that the entirety of the Fenton family, outside of its neverborn or fully dead members, were there? Not really. Okay maybe a bit, he thought Maddie and Jack would go hunting too instead.

The second Danny saw him, his shoulders relaxed minutiously, a relieved smile painting his face while their twin terrors ran up and started clinging to his legs.

"Dad ! You're fine! Mom worried! We told him that you're strong and won't get too hurt but mom just kept worrying but you're fine right?" Ellie's little face was looking at him expectantly even if she refused to admit she had been worried as well.

Dan had stayed silent the entire time, hiding his face in Tim's leg as soft sobs wracked his shoulders.

"I'm fine starlight, little wraith. I promise I'm fine. I'm not going to die anytime soon." He said, kneeling down to pat both his children's heads, finally seeing his son stubbornly trying to hold back tears, "Hey, there's no need to cry I'm here." Tim hugged close his children, Ellie immediately returning it while Dan once again desperately clung to him, "I'm not... I'm not crying..." His baby boy argued even as his shoulders shook with the strength of his sobs.

Tim knew his family was staring but right now comforting his children was much more important than anything else.

Danny and [insert any of the Batfam here] enter a whirlwind romance. (Danny on vacation while the Batfam member was on a forced too)

It's fast, it's chaotic, it's passionate. There is Oscar winning romance scenes (kissing in the rain after confessing deep feelings), miscommunication and heavy makeups. Etc etc.

In the middle of this romantic whirlwind, the two get drunk and get hitched.

When the morning after their wedding greets them they of course freak out but after talking it over they discover the pros outweigh the cons and decide to keep their marital status (and they maybe forgot due to reasons)

then the time for them to go home happens, the two keep in touch, sometimes finding time to go have dates but understand the other is normally busy with their jobs (and night jobs too, they talked about their hero personas so there is no misunderstandings)

It isn't until one of them gets hurt that their doctor gets in contact with their 'spouse' that their families discover they're married.

Cue shenanigans as their families try to dig up things on the mystery spouse.

[castle-dominion]

5x4 murder he wrote

these girls are amazing I love them my gal is just watching the clock RC: But there will be plenty of that this weekend GIRL SHUSH his whispers are great KB: (sigh) Wow, Castle. Thank you for reminding me that I’m lying to a bunch of people that I really care about so I don’t get fired on an ethics violation ‘cause I’m dating you.

KR, v loud: Hey Castle! RC: *there is no meme for the face I am thinknig of* Ryan's outfit "her boyfriend" "give uss sss ss something!"

Wow hella nice place

JE: Why would Beckett be holding out on us? KR, sounding genuine: Maybe there’s something wrong with the guy. Maybe he’s bad news. ((They care abt her)) JE, using it as an excuse: Well, then as her partners, it’s our obligation to find out who this guy is. KR: And what kind of partners would we be if we didn’t? Her safety could be at stake. JE: Exactly, and with no active murder case going on, I say we use this time to find him. ((They also,, just are curious lol))

KB: So uh, are you rich or smth? Holy this place is huge & nice

What's up with her though? Is she ok? complete privacy? already poured himself a drink? Wow she's tanned this episode.

UGH THE MUSIC IS SO SO GOOD Ooh becket, wowie

HOLY CRAP THIS MAN IS BLEEDING & DROPPING SAND I mean of course, this is a murder show Hey I only just noticed, we didn't get a teaser

I like Brady. What kind of arrangement? She's hot enough ig? & I'm sure castle had met this police chief fellow before

Watch a lot of cop shows do we? Shapiro?

becks is maaaad

castle is going into crime solving mode XD

Nice wooden table, reminds me of the altar in my fnmi church

they just want to have sex but they love the story they want justice lmao the party was killer XD

Green screen it looks like

[10:48, INT. PRECINCT, AUTOPSY – DAY] [Ryan and Esposito follow Lanie around her lab.] LP: Beckett’s boyfriend? Don’t you two have something better to do? JE: Actually, no. ((like balancing the egg)) KR: We figured Beckett must have started up with the guy during her suspension. JE: A pretty emotional time for her. I bet she needed a shoulder to lean on. KR: An ex. JE: It would explain why she’s too embarrassed to tell us who it is. It makes her look weak. KR: We’re thinking the most likely scenario is that it was the last guy that she was with. JE: Dr. Joshua Davidson. KR: Mm-hmm. JE: It’s him, isn’t it? LP: Okay, I get that you don’t have a life, Javi, but you’re married, Kevin, so what’s your excuse? KR: I— LP: Whoever Beckett’s boyfriend is, is none of your business. JE: Come on, Lanie. You must know who it is. She went back to Josh, didn’t she? LP: Is this how you interrogate people? ‘Cause you ain’t doing nothing but pissing me off. ((I love her)) [Esposito reels his expression back in.] LP: Now I don’t know who it is, and I respect Beckett’s privacy, but I do know it’s not Josh, because he’s been in the Amazon setting up free clinics for the last year. JE: Are you sure about that? [Lanie gives him an annoyed look.] KR: I think she’s sure. JE: Yeah. [Ryan’s cell rings.] KR: Hey, Castle. Yeah, I’m gonna put you on speakerphone so you can weigh in on this. ((brings castle into their convo instead of whatever castle was calling for initially)) RC: (on speaker phone) Weigh in on what? KR: (on speaker phone) Well, we’re in the morgue with Lanie trying to figure out who Beckett’s boyfriend is. ((So becks knows that her partners apparently try to look into her personal life, & even try to get castle in on it. The boys totally could have used the excuse that since she wasn't telling them they were mildly concerned)) [Beckett straightens up in her chair in fear.] LP: (on speaker phone) I have nothing to do with this nonsense. [Lanie walks off and hits Esposito on her way out.] RC: Yeah, until you’re bagging their mangled bodies when Beckett finds out. [Beckett smirks.] JE: (on speaker phone) Pfft. Like we’re afraid of Beckett. (chuckles) [Beckett purses her lips.] KR: (on speaker phone) Besides, how’s she gonna find out? [Beckett grabs for the phone angrily, but Castle snatches it off of the base first before she can blow their secret.]

poison with a gun lmao

that is like,, magenta not blood red-- wait nvm castle not normal to say! You could have said "It must be hard to be the last one to see him alive, are you doing ok?"

Yeah he barely needed to pressure her at all lol

so right, he is NOT close friends with the chief

hooker friend XD & now rick has another arrest on his record.

oh no this poor guy hasn't worked homicide before...

Making a deal! Nice! two hours in here? "relax" lmao He's going to learn how to solve homicides!

Oh no, if the precinct finds out... that would be less than good

bad coffee or good coffee?

He does indeed have friends in robbery, this is a plot point that has been mentioned before

KB: Why are you even helping them? are they trying to find a ship name? Yeah we know their ship name. (tho consistency is nice. I personally prefer kevenny over kevjen & esparish over esplanie, & rickate is fine but caskett is better... you should see my table/chart of ship names lol.)

lol just deputy jones <3 (what if it was him?)

in the ocean FOR 20 mins?

they are so hot for each other I love this meth guy lol he is crazed out

A red shark with red eyes? reminds me of that holmes novel with the LERNER I KNOW THAT NAME

Oof all that rope

I keep forgetting non-natives usually don't use "deadly" Oh wow I just googled it & apparently it is also used by australian aboriginals too, not just us up here in canada & probably the rest of north america, (but probs only english speaking parts in the americas)

Love how the police chief is just sitting there while these two are doing most of the interviewing

Group therapy? Or weight loss

exactly from 8.30 to 10?

It's going to be the chief himself lol Castle's face when he heard that name

Oh hey Sal! We know sal!

No contacting vinnie the scar! *cut to vinnie toasting salud* Yeah a surprising amount of people can't cook This has been a great way to slip into it

VC: Ooh, see, that’s the difference between Castle and me. You’ve had my complete attention since I’ve been here, sweetheart. RC: Whoa, whoa. Watch it, Vinnie. Don’t make me have to do to you what someone did to your neighbor. VC: Oh, you heard about that, huh? RC: Heard about it? The guy ended up in my pool!

castle no you went too far! You should have given a different route! You also maybe could have offered him to take home his leftovers even though the evening went poorly & you could have said you hoped time would heal this bump in the road.

solving murders is like foreplay for them. I say this about detective murdoch & doctor ogden too

Give him some linguine to make things up... Outing them is a good threat "He said he already ate" she probably heard the convo hun

Ooh nice place there! All dirty & gross! Flashlights! No vests. Also turn your phone on silent idiot sounds to me like the place is going to blow up heavy door...

WHO'S THAT? GOSH THEY HAVE A GUN Holy crap they took him down! Gosh ryan went in that direction & probs didn't see this individual here, thank goodness esposito came in right after & knocked him Wow ryan is yelling. & the other guy is just still there? & espt leaves him? wait no he takes the gun Wearing a lot of stuff rn. ppe But dang they are coughing a ton. ryan mr ex drug cop

He used to do what? Cook the books? I forget what he did & idk what that means naked by the pool? they switched places, now the one trying to be sexy & is the one worried about the murder "exactly" he says about the murder & drug case & then pulls her close

Ryan & esposito look pretty but I'm not interested in taking a pic, I'm tired maybe I will clip this tho bc the way ryan stops in front of espt ooh

Good to have your lawyer making back to making crank lol ryan is so good in this interrogation I love love it whu what do you mean girlfriend? Hey! Hey! I’ll ask the questions here,

brown but almost blonde nowadays, & I think her eyes might be hazel body type? Hot. That's how ryan knows it's beckett lol. KR: Son of a gun

KR, sitting chill, feet up (so we get to see his nice shoes): You were right, Castle. Franklin was using his helicopter to move meth to the Hamptons. Looks like you blew this case wide open. Guess you can get back to your writing now, huh? & then kate in the room frantic & "are you still there?" RC: Uh, what else did Aaron Lerner say? Did he say anything else about… anything else? KR: Oh, you know, the usual. “I didn’t do it. You got the wrong guy.” I’m pretty sure he told me everything he knows. He is SO toying with them KR, smug smile still on his face: Yeah. Good luck with the writing. *hangs up immediately*

why did he go to open the door & then,, close it? Good. But why are you telling them? Oh honour of being at the arrest

Ooh he has his gun out! Nice! I'm lucky! & plot armour

I mean, yeah, these knots are the way they go. Knots are the same. The only difference would be maybe left handed vs right handed. Oh the knot wasn't the right knot, nvm

I called it! It was the chief! OR NOT HOLY CRAP I mean... yeah *hides behind beckett* BRADY TOOK A SHOT! RC: Sorry about the whole “accusing you of murder”…still buddies? Brady: Yeah...

toast to you! Oh now they are waiting for him to leave. Hot tip "Well I shouldn't keep you, we'd better let you go, but let me walk you to the door"

Oh crap I forgot I was going to mention it's neat to have fbi contacts & we get to see ppl making use of these contacts

(also ryan's shirt looks like it was not ironed... I hate ironing & think that we as a society should stop caring about wrinkles, I just think it is an interesting fact)

JE: Well, the case in the Hamptons has been solved, but the case of the secret boyfriend remains open. Turns out Beckett’s FBI ex has been stationed in Europe for six months. KR: Huh. JE: What? You got anything? [Ryan turns around to face Esposito, and leans back in his chair, considering for a moment.] KR: Nah. No, I was just thinking, maybe we should drop it. [Esposito’s brow furrows in surprise.] KR: You know, let Beckett’s private life stay private. JE: What, you mean give up? (scoffs) A real detective never gives up on a case, bro. KR: You know it’s not a real case, right? JE: You’re gonna tell me what a real case is? KR: Uh, last time I checked, it’s when there was a murder. JE: Oh, there’s been a murder all right. Your spirit. KR: Wow. [They grab their coats and head out.] JE: Your dignity, too. KR: Huh. Well, you know what, just for that, the first round’s on you. JE: Yeah, good luck with that. [They greet a co-worker passing by.] JE: Bruce. KR:Bruce.

Hi dear,

💌 Name : Jes

💌 Pronouns : She/They

💌 Soulmate type : romantic soulmate. I wish to know who will understand me deeply, helping me through tough time, inspiring me to do and be my very best. My heart yearn for romance in my life but I was so afraid to get hurt again and having trust issues toward others. I know my own weakness or red flag, so I was curious if someone who willing to be with me. Teach me and encourage me to be my highest self. Someone who will help me to lift the burden in my heart. Not only as my romantic partner but can be my best friend too.

💌 concept of love : To me, love is a connection between the hearts and minds of people. Agape is one of my favourite type of love. The love is sacrificial and universal, a love that gives first and expects nothing in return. A love that you show to strangers, universe, friends and family. I think that one is the greatest love type ever. However, love can be dangerous to us when we become more obsessed with others while neglecting our self. It's like a flower, all of them are beautiful, but some of it are poisonous

🌷 take your time and remember to take care your health and energy. Stay blessed and stay happy 💖

Hello Jes! Thank you for joining Your Entwined Bonds! Here is your reading 💖

Jes, your soul - the way she appeared to me - has smooth platinum white skin with traces of soft blush on her skin. Her energy reminded me of plum trees. She's smooth with her words, she's cunning. She looks like a work of art. She has a playful, taunting personality and melodious laughter. She reminded me of fox spirits like kitsunes. She likes to recline on her seat, sort of like her throne and play with her hair.

She resides at a place that looks white everywhere, it feels like a cave with its closed-in, resounding energy, however it also has the vibe of a forest but with no trees around. The place looks and feels like it's embedded in snow but the snow is not moving, every thing, every energy in this place is stationery. There is a quality of trapped air, as if time is frozen in space.

I asked if she could give me a peek of her energy. She showed me. Her core energy is close to original point energy, close to neutral. She takes the form of a kitsune because there was a kitsune past life that she feels particularly resonating with. Without the kitsune element your soul feels like a ball of fire and air, it's a misty translucent ball and the fire isn't in flames, but encapsulated in air.

Your Soul's Message To You

"Be careful with each step. Look properly don't try to jump or you'd end up falling. Remember and put advices to heart. Don't be forgetful. If someone's words feel important to you then they are. Don't forget your umbrella."

After your soul has imparted her message, I asked her if she could lead the way to your romantic soulmate. She said yes, and gestured front. I bowed deeply, and started to go the direction she pointed. I didn't have to walk far, in fact I barely moved and a man in his hunter outfit came with a purposeful air. His outfit looked like caveman outfit. I'd try to Google an image for you because I uhh suck at describing physical things.

▲ The difference between his clothing and this picture is that there are animal stripes on his and he has a top that leaves his abdomen bare.

The man looked rugged, he had a bad of arrows on his back. He asked what's the matter, I then told him about you wishing to know more about him.

He has a deep voice, looks intimidating but appears to be a solid, honest, grounded fellow. He has light brown skin and long black hair. His energy is friendly; a gentle giant. He is aligned with wood element. He is more on the defensive side rather than combative, meaning he is not one to attack unless it's the last resort.

"Would you like to answer some questions?" I asked him.

"Yeah I would, just don't ask something too personal," he replied.

I told him if he doesn't want to answer some questions then he can choose not to.

Since this conversation progressed like an interview, my questions would be in highlight.

What makes you romantic soulmates with Jes?

"We go way back. Back when I was a troll in the forests and she was a nature spirit. We have always been supporting each other. It's like we were mated, or meant to be."

What do you remember the most about Jes in your past lives?

"Wouldn't judge, always kind. The kind to offer her shoulder to anyone especially her family (by family, he meant all friendly beings who reside in the same forest area). Very reliable. The girl I would risk anything for." He added that he wished to provide for you, tend to your every wish because you deserve it, because you make the world and his world a better place. You also reminded him of rainbows.

Did you know Jes in her kitsune past life?

"Yes, I was a hunter."

What was she like?

"Trickster, playful, would try to mess with you, loved to get too uncomfortably close to people, would play with their hair, flirty, made me scared, but has a good heart underneath but her morals and the way she expressed herself was very different from human standards. Liked to chill in the woods lazily, liked to observe and poke fun at passing humans, think humans are toys and very curious about them. Liked to play pranks on them like throwing small stones at them from on top of trees and playing hide and seek with them, like making them lost in the woods and rewalk the paths they have walked before."

What was your relationship with her like?

"To be honest she was just too otherworldly to me that I ended up very scared. She did seem to feel connected to me though, and I her. She visited me. We had the kind of relationship that's more than mortal. But I do not wish to clarify. She became more than just a friend. A friend till the days when we become old and part, till I tell my grandchildren about such a being existing. She was like, came out of storybooks altogether."

What are your favourite memories from your past lives with Jes?

“Honesty, promises, pinky promises that we will not part. Those are always sacred to me. I still find myself doing this, myself," he said and made a pinky promise gesture with both his hands. "Those promises never expire because we the persons making them are still around even though we have different faces in different bodies, our hearts are still around - beating. That's the essence of a promise, where even time stands still."

What are memories you believe Jes needs to remember from her past lives with you?

"I would say happy things but it's more than that. Her strengths, and whatever she needs to remember, that would be of benefit to her."

Can you describe the happy things you have shared?

"Us holding hands, exploring a small island by the beach. It was deserted so it was an adventure for us. We did that a day before our wedding day." I also saw a vision of you both in a food truck, you taking care of your baby beside him on the truck and he cooking. He had such a happy smile on his face. He felt like the luckiest man in the world because he got to provide for you and the baby.

"When we walk we are always together, there's no like one is a leader the other is a follower, no, we walk together, if anything, we trust each other and we discuss, we walk as one. There's no distance between us."

In your opinion, what are Jes's strengths?

"Her ability to see patterns. She can be analytical so she knows what's best for her. She knows the right steps forward, she's not easy to get lost. She's got a good sense of direction and a keen sense of where she should be going. I'm proud of her."

How would you guide Jes to become her highest self?

"Unlock the maze in her heart, guide her through things she should let go of, like the past, like the burdens, and what she should keep, like her heart, her original heart that's untainted. Teach her to wipe it clean, and teach her to treasure it, take care of it properly, remove the blemishes left by those who have hurt her, and make good, healthy, happy memories with her that would leave good happy smiles on her heart, happy wrinkles. Let it be a place of goodness again. And let her be known to herself once more as the best she could be.

"To be honest she would warm my heart whichever version she is, to me I see the one and the same person as I fell in love with. But if she's not happy with herself then I'm willing to be there and guide her through the storms one by one. I don't believe there's anything you can't brave through if you're brave enough. Just wear a sturdy jacket and brave through the rain."

Will you meet Jes as your present incarnation?

"Yes, definitely. I'm dying to meet her (pun intended). I'm crossing the (place where spirits have to cross sort of like a challenge in order to incarnate, like purgatory but not in the Christian atoning for sin way, this is more neutral where most ordinary spirits will go through) to meet her.

What's your current incarnation like?

He showed me a vision. The vibes I got from his current incarnation were wood, book, library and carpenter vibes. He's youngish, in his 20s but he looks much younger. Moderate stature. "I'm sorry I can't give away much. He's someone you'd deem honest at first sight, like there's this vibe of him being someone you could trust. Unless there are misunderstandings which happen quite a lot in his life lately. That's all I'm gonna say," he explained.

What's your message to Jes?

"I know it's hard but he truthful and true to yourself in every step you take. You are your own priority when it comes to healing yourself so you are the one whose feelings you must take full consideration of."

What are your parting words with Jes?

"Take good care of yourself, until the day we meet. I promise to sweep you off your feet. Take care now," he gave a two-finger salute (the touching his forehead kind), and off he went.

I hope this reading provided you with insight and happy feelings. Please remember to give feedback! Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors! 💝

Chapter 1: Genius Little Ladybug

★—–—–†–—–—★

It all started when Sabine Cheng and her parents moved from China to America, where she met a rich boy named Tony, they weren't the best of friends at first, but they would always get into crazy shenanigans because of Tony. Sabine always finding a way to get them out of it. After a while they were practically inseparable, they had each others backs, both in the good times, and the bad.

So when Tony lost both his mother and father in a tragic car accident, and had to take over his parents company, she was there to try and ease the pain. It helped a little, but the boy changed and blocked out many people, only keeping a select few close to him. His personality changed, and he started to act differently, it saddened Sabine, but she knew it was his way of coping with his lose.

She would oftentimes find him crying silently in his office. When Tony opened a branch in Paris France, he was paranoid something would go wrong when he wasn't there, so he had Sabine become a sort of co-CEO for the Paris branch. Over the many years of her being a sibling-in-everything-but-blood to Tony, her intelligence was much higher than everyone in the company, other than said boy.

She moved to Paris not long after, always keeping an eye on both the Paris branch and Tony ( because god knows what would happen if she didn't do so). She even met a baker named Tom Dupain. Eventually dating, and marrying him. Tony wasn't the most eager when he heard of Tom, but he accepted him as family (not because if he didn't Sabine would knock some sense into him). He practically exploded with excitement when he heard we would be an uncle a few years after Sabine's wedding.

Tony was there in the waiting room with Tom, when Sabine was having the child ( Tony denies not having a mini heart attack when the nurse came in). Both men looked at the beautiful child through the glass. Tony was put to tears when he read her name "Maria Dupain-Cheng" and was comforted by a teary Tom.

When Maria was 9 months old, her Uncle Tony came to spend time with her, and talk business with Sabine. None of them expected Maria to crawl her way into their conversation and say "Uncle Tony" in the sweetest most adorable laugh both adults had ever heard. Tony had a massive grin on his face, and gave Maria a big hug and lots of kisses saying " I knew i was your favorite hahaha, and you're only 9 months old. Sabine I think we got a little genius on our hands." Sabine was just as happy and told Tom to hurry and grab the camera.

"Come on say it one more time my dear Maria, show your papa who your favorite adult is" Tony said with a very wide grin.

Maria giggled at her uncle's happiness, clapping her hands. "Uncle Tony, Uncle Tony" Tom just smiled giving his baby girl a kiss and handing Tony 10 Euros.

Tony continued to visit his little genius niece over the years. Maria ended up getting the best education a kid could get, becuase his logic was " If she is a genius (which she is) then she is going to have the best education money can buy, for nothing is to much for my Little Genius Maria!" and with that she could officially be called the smartest kid in all of Paris... heck probably in all of Europe even! So when she gained a passion for fashion at 4, Tony didn't hesitate to get her, her very first (kid friendly) sewing set. By the time Maria was 5 she already knew how to speak and write in French, English, Spanish, Russian, and is learning Mandarin.

Maria had met Chloé when they were both 6, although they weren't really friends, they were polite to each other, which surprised a lot of the other kids their age. She had met Alix a few months later. She spent a lot of the time she wasn't studying with her friends, Alix would get in trouble with another kid on the playground, Chloé would criticise the other kid, and Maria would talk to Alix and then apologize to the other kid. Overall, they had a good dynamic going on, and they (as 7 year olds) promised to always have each others backs to the very end.

When Maria was 3½ months away from her 9th birthday, Tony was kidnapped. Maria just broke down, she wanted to help her Uncle, but she didn't know where he was or how she could help if she did. For three months Maria would only speak to Chloé and Alix (they were kinda shocked to find out she was related to THE Tony Stark). A few days before her birthday, Tony came to their home, with rolls of fabric, flowers, and 'I'm sorry cards'. Maria jumped into his arms crying asking what happened, and "If you're the smartest man on the Earth, why the Heck did it take you so long? How did you get out? Are any of your vital organs hurts? Do you need to go to the Hospital? An-"

"Hey slow down My Little Genius Maria, I'm ok. 1, They didn't really give me much to work with at first, and there is only so much a genius like myself can do with so little resources, and time before your Birthday. 2, I made an anime mecha suit and flew out guns a blazing. 3, Nothing I can't live without. and 4, No because I'm spending the week with you lot before a conference I have in about 10 days." He said while holding his small little genius  in his arms.

Wiping away the tears she looked her Uncle in the eyes "Wait, you 'made an anime mecha suit and flew out guns a blazing?' How does it work? what's its power source? And why do you have a weird glowing device in your chest?!" He had a lot of explaining to do.

That week, in her words was 'The best week of her life.' She was really happy for the first time since the Tony-napping happened, although she was sad he had to go, she knew  he was safe, and that she didn't have to worry (as much) now.

When Maria was 13, both Tony and Sabine decided to have her go to public school with her friends. After hearing this Maria called for a meeting, her two commanders (Alix and Chloé) came for the meeting, and had a talk on how she should go about her first day of public school, asking questions like 'How do non-homeschooled kids act? What are their personalities like? What interests do they have? Are some barbaric like Alix is sometimes? Will they like me? Am I allowed to talk to Chloé in or only out of class? What are the seating arrangements? Who do I sit next to?' the list goes on. They were all excited to finally all be in the same study environment, now all they had to do was wait for their first day.

•~—~—~—~—~—~—~•

The night before her first day Maria may or may not have slept well due to her excitement, she woke up a little later than she ever would have preferred, getting breakfast, her clothes, the 'greeting sweets' (as Alix called them) and heading out in a slight panic.

On her way out she noticed an elderly man with a cain crossing the street, and a car coming a little faster than what was allowed, she pulled the man out of the cars way without losing any of the sweets, after making sure the man was ok, she gave him a sweet before saying good day and heading over to school. She never noticed the man walking away without the use of his cain.

She still got to class on time, when her teacher walked in she greeted everyone in the class "Bonjour, je m'appelle Maria Dupain-Cheng, c'est un plaisir de vous rencontrer! (Hello, my name in Maria Dupain-Cheng, it is a pleasure to meet you!)" after the introductions she sat down in the empty seat next to Alix, both giving a fist bump, and a smile to Chloé, who looked away as if she didn't care (the girl had an image to keep after all). When class was over she handed out the sweets and went with her friends to lunch. During lunch, one of the other students from a different class was mocking one of their classmates that Maria remembered as Ivan, for having a crush on Mylène and not saying how he really feels to her. Ivan ran off into one of the locker rooms, and Maria decided to go and comfort him, she explained that she overheard what happened and that he should try and tell Mylène about his feelings, listing many different things he could do or say, and that he should stay positive.

Ivan thanked Maria afterwards and went off to write a song for Mylène. Ivan later showed Mylène the song he wrote for her, but was teased by other students near them, Ivan ran away not wanting to be embarrassed more.

Back in the classroom Alix and Maria are sitting and talking when everyone hears crashing and screams outside, the class looked out to see a giant rock thing destroying everything  on its way to the school. The teachers sent the kids home in an attempt to keep them safe.

When Maria got home she noticed a small box with writing she didn't recognize, she carefully opened it, instantly releasing a glow of bright red-ish pink light.

"Greetings Maria Dupain-Cheng, I am Tikki, the Ladybug Kwami of creation and good Luck, it is a pleasure to meet you." Maria couldn't believe her eyes "Mon dieu..." was all she could say, before going full interrogation mode "You're a Kwami? What is that? How are you floating like that? How am I able to understand you? Do you have some sort of ability to communicate in any language?How did you fit in this box? w-"

"There is no time, Paris needs you! I can only explain the powers I grant and how to use them, so please listen carefully."

•~—~—~—~—~—~—~•

Soon Maria was running in a red suit with black spots and amor. She ended up facing the 'akuma' as Tikki called it in a stadium, meeting her partner (a blonde furry she decided) for the first time.

"Bonjour m'lady, so what's the plan to take this thing down?"

Without hesitation she explained her plan " The plan is for you to have your Cataclysm ready, I'll give you a signal when it's your-"

"Cataclysm!"  The boy proceeded to use his ONE attack on a GOAL POST!

"I said to wait for a SIGNAL! Now you only have five minutes before you power-off."

"Oops" The blonde was really wasting her more useful braincells. After the boy was thrown out of the stadium, Maria was left to fend for herself, and she did really well, considering this was her first non(but sort of) official villain fight, up until she lost her footing and was knocked into the side of the stadium. The akuma was gone before she could get back, more and more people were turned to stone, but it showed just where Stoneheart was heading.

She arrived at the Eiffel Tower, where blonde was fighting stone people, he just managed to get away and actually listened to the plan this time.

They defeated Stoneheart, Maria gave her speech to the villain, and did a fist bump (though at this point Maria just wanted to get some sleep), when a reporter came to interview them.

"What are your names, and where did you come from?"

"My name's Chat Noir an-"

"Ladybug, and we're hear to protect Paris from Moth-Man, as much as we would love to give you a bit more details, we don't have much time at the moment" right on que their Miraculous' beeped signalling they had 2 minutes left " Stay safe, and positive, Bug-Out. "

•~—~—~—~—~—~—~•

"Well done Maria!"

"Thanks Tikki." and with that Maria went downstairs to get something to eat, when she saw her parents watching the news.

"Earlier today Paris gained a villain and two heroes: Ladybug, and Chat Noir. Many of our viewers submitted pictures and videos, but only one of Ladybug came out clear."

"Thank you Ladybug and Chat Noir for protecting us, bonne journée à Paris."

.................

"Maria you're taking self-defense classes starting tomorrow" Sabine spoke, though Maria didn't have any complaints, plus it'll help when fighting akumas so it's a win win.

"Yes maman."

•~~~~~later in Maria's room~~~~~•

"Ok, so you're basically goddess of creation personified into a cute little Ladybug creature?"

"Kwami, but yes."

"And you've existed since basically the Big Bang?"

"Correct."

"... how are you able to float like that? How are we able to talk without any ancient god language in the way? And what other kinds of um kwamis are there?"

"I float with magic. Yes their is a language only for the Kwami, but we've learned every other language in existence, so there would never be an issue with communication. And to your last question, there are many different kinds of Miraculi all over the world, some even across the universe, so I am unable to list every single one in existence, but there are just as many Miraculi out there as there are starts in the sky."

"Impressive... does that mean I could learn magic?"

"As a human you are limited to what you can do with magic, but you have a strong creation soul. So yes it is possible for you to learn basic magic, I can teach you some life magic to help you heal quicker if you get hurt outside the suit. You can also learn other types of basic magic based on what Miraculous you are most aligned to. Surprisingly you have a close affinity to most of my brothers and sisters that are here in Paris."

"Are they in the hands of other Miraculous users?"

"... aside from Chat Noir, only two: one belongs to the Guardian, and the other to Hawkmoth."

"What are their names?"

"...Wayzz is Kwami of Protection, and is the partner of the Guardian. The other is Nooroo Kwami of Transmission, Hawkmoths Kwami.

"Ok, so then I assume the 'Guardian' is who you were with until now, right?"

"That is correct."

"And how was I chosen exactly?"

"The Guardian chose you because he saw your kindness in action, and sensed your strong Creation Soul, he has only ever been wrong once, but I can tell you will be a great Ladybug, maybe even one of the few who achieved a higher sence of life."

"... I feel like you kind of described a Sage, also how would he have seen an act of kindness, I mean, I got my things, went out helped an older man with a cain, wait."Maria squinted her eyes at Tikki as if looking for something.

"The elderly man's the Guardian isn't he?"

"..."

"I get it, you don't have to tell me, it's all apart of the 'plot' like some show, I get it. Welp, good night Tikki, have to get up early tomorrow."

"Good night Maria." Tikki never messed up so badly before, then again she never had a user with such a strong Creation Soul before either... Maria is something special.

•~—~—~—~—~—~—~•

And Tikki was right, she excelled at Life Magic, learning a fair bit of healing, luck and slight plant manipulation and communication magic. Tikki wasn't sure if she should be proud of her Bug, or scared at her fast learning skills.

A few weeks passed and Maria was thankful for the self-defense classes, she even started doing her own training routine with Tikki guiding her. She didn't like that her partner was a flirt, it got distracting and almost got Chat killed a few times. She often wondered 'what the hell did I do in my past life to get a partner like this?'

•~—~—~—~—~—~—~•

Tony Stark was called by Sabine to meet her earlier than they had planned, she informed him that Paris now has a villain and two heroes.

"Ok, so what's the problem? We agreed to put Maria in self-defense classes so she would be safe... is it a boy?! Don't tell me it's a boy, she's to young to be dating!"

"It's not about a boy."

"Then what is this about?"

"She's Ladybug, *sigh* I swear she gets it from you Tony. She learned it from your dumb@ss, and it didn't help the need to protect people she loves when you got kidnapped. I need you to teach her how to be a good hero, good combat strategist, and to give her your support. She already has a tactical mind, I'm proud in a way that she shares your bravery."

"Ffffffffudge... ok, where is she?"

"Upstairs."

•~—~—~—~—~—~—~•

After a slightly awkward conversation Maria started to get even more training, and became a pretty much badass on the field, she incorporated the known fighting styles of: Black Widow (her favorite hero), Captain America, Deadpool (favorite hero to some degree), Daredevil, Wolverine, and some moves from famous villains like, Kraven The Hunter, Red Skull, Doctor Doom, Scorpion, Shocker, and Taskmaster ( her favorite villain). And she used ALL of those skills in battle, it was damn impressive to watch, and then Sabine had a talk with Tony.

〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜Bonus〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜

"Ok Tony wtf? I asked you to teach her how to fight for protection when she's out there, But you turned her into a complete badass, I mean none of the akumas have lasted more than 10 minutes with her! I want to hug you and kick your @ss at the same time."

" Sorry not sorry Sabine, but she is our Genius Little Ladybug after all."

[lord-irving-braxiatel]

@professor-summerfield

"I was debating between Cambridge and Oxford, but I'd figured Cambridge was more romantic," Braxiatel explained as he stood by her side in the doorway, watching the relaxing scene of punting boats with couples glide over the river cam. "The original Cambridge, 1960's to be precise. They had the perfect Autumn. Besides, they have more antique shops and libraries here we can explore together."

He felt the heat rise through his neck and reached his cheeks as Benny flirted with him. Didn't she know already that to have her as his partner, he already was a lucky Time-Lord?

He wanted to take her to Cambridge, because in many ways, it reminded him of St. Dellah, back in the good old days before everything went wrong. When it had been him, Benny, Clarance, Jason, and John. Even Renee sometimes. The five friends stuck together through the sheer hell of it all. Some were lost, some were betrayed, but every now and then, his hearts gave a twinge of cosmic angst at the thought of those nights the five shared together in his office in the theatrology department. Given both how he and Bernice had their particular interests in Academics, he felt it was important to go to a place where they had something in common.

He turned his gaze away from the punting boats to find Benny's eyes were wet, and he looked at her in concern, almost worrying if he had made the wrong choice to go here. Perhaps she had been here on some previous adventure with the Doctor and it left a sour taste in her mouth that he didn't know about, but he relaxed when these weren't tears of sadness.

But tears of joy.

He raised a hand and gently wiped away her tears with his thumb. He had to have this first date perfect. Otherwise, the whole world the two had created between them could come crashing and burning down as St. Dellah did.

This time, there were no All-Gods to stop him. No burning fire to stop him from saving his friends trapped in the building. It was his turn to make this right.

He leaned in, and light as a feather, brushed his lips against her cheek where her tears had fallen before and tasted the saltiness of them. "Je te trouve belle." He whispered against her lips and he knew the TARDIS would translate that instantly to her.

"I find you beautiful."

He only wished it had taken him sooner to realize it.

Resolved to friendship? Yes. Without its speed bumps? Not exactly. The Doctor had been, for lack of better terms, a mistake. A kiss led to a shove against a bed, & the rest, as they say, is history. Looking back on it, part of her wanted to blame that specific face. That charming man that helped her to throw all past memories of their friendship out of the window in favor for an inane tryst. & how Benny’s heart had ached when she’d woken to find herself entirely alone & him, full of regret rooms away. A fitting ounce of trauma to tinge her heart. She’d poured herself out to someone, devoted her body, everything she could to him … & he’d tossed her to the side. Much like Jason had with his many little clones he could have grown in mere minutes.

… Suppose she’d never let that go.

Bernice hesitated at the doors, her head turned back to watch Irving over her shoulder. For a moment, she swore she caught a glimpse of his longing & it only made her pulse spike further. This was the man who could have anything or anyone he wanted in the entire universe, & there he had been; his cloudy eyes tracing her lips. As if looking for a reason or moment’s notice to claim them with his own. & she wouldn’t have complained.

⠀“Cambridge? The Cambridge? University & all? Goddess,” she whispered in astonishment as he moved to join her & open the doors; allowing sunlight to pour in. For a moment, she basked in the heat & glow before her mind drifted to that of a certain linguistics professor. Not that she wouldn’t mind a reunion, but … Had she ever explained Babylon to Brax? Yes? No? Maybe so?

⠀“You’re going to be one lucky man when we head back to the Collection,” she lightheartedly flirted, her hand moving to grasp his, their fingers intertwining. Though, when she did finally pry her gaze from the gorgeous scene beyond the ship’s interior, she looked to him with tear-filled eyes. Pure joy radiating from her. It was a perfect destination. With the two of them being so enveloped by their respective academic interests, & also their joined understanding for the minuscule details that made something gorgeous.

He had, certainly, surprised her.

Kaz Brekker × Inej Ghafa

Undercover Ballroom AU

843 words || Warning: None

Set after Crooked Kingdom but AU where everyone is alive and happy. (because thats how its supposed to be coz no mourners, no funerals)

Plot: The main six are on a heist to steal a painting from a museum where a ball is held and they have to go undercover. (lies- the main plot is kanej content because i'm trash for them so its not really about the heist-)

All characters are from the Six of Crows duology. References to both the books and the show.

p.s. follow @mvrsecode on instagram <3

Kaz rested his hand on his cane and leaned on one of the pillars. His other hand beckoned Wylan to give him the bag the red-head was carrying.

"Alright here's Plan A. Wylan and Jes will be on-" Kaz started.

"Hey! You finally accepted my nickname," Jesper interrupted, giving a half-smile and fidgeting with his rings.

"Wylan and Jesper will be on the lookout from this roof and they will give us light signals by flickering a device Wylan made. Keep your eyes on the quarter point clockwise on the dome. You will be able to spot the blue light," he explained.

"However, also remember to always focus on your surroundings. The signal they'll give is important but do not act suspicious by constantly looking up. Someone else might spot it," Inej has become quite good at joining Kaz in his plan speeches. She was mostly there to remind the others to take care of themselves, something Kaz always forgot.

"Helvar will enter through the back door and clear our escape route. Make sure no one sees you, take a guard's uniform if you will. Nina will tag along the Ravka guests and into the ballroom. Let's hope the security system isn't counting faces. We need a heartrender inside for emergencies," Kaz wasn't always thorough with his explanation but this time he wouldn't risk it.

"Lastly, Inej and I will pose as the guests Nina put to sleep. When everyone else gets distracted on the main attraction, we will slip out through the open corridor right there and into the rest of the building. I'm sure they wouldn't think to look twice at a couple of kids messing around," Kaz finished and looked at each of them directly in the eye, as if asking if they understood.

Nina, however, knew it was just a display of intimidation. Kaz's heart was beating quickly, possibly because he has to dance with Inej but Nina smiled to herself. After all, Inej's heart was matching his. She smiled to herself, wondering when they would finally admit it, but again maybe she was just a romantic.

"No mourners," Jesper said.

"No funerals." Good luck would've been too much, they do not expect good luck. The least they could hope for is getting out of here alive.

Kaz handed Inej her dress. It would've been hard for her to scale walls if she was in a ball-gown, not that she couldn't do it. It was just impractical. The gown itself was ash blue in color. Kaz didn't know why he thought Inej would've liked it but the small smile on her face confirmed he was right.

Inej layered the dress on top of her black unitard and bulletproof fabric. It would've looked ridiculous if Kaz hadn't gotten the perfect gown. She strapped a dagger around her calf, under her dress. For emergencies, for Plan B and E.

"Good to know you still remember my size," Inej thanked him.

The plan was in motion now. Nina got in quite easily, she looked the part. She was beautiful and obviously charming. She could charm her way through anything. Inej and Kaz, however, was to play a harder role. Two criminals who lived in the streets of Ketterdam to play a rich, privileged couple. Eventually, the guards let them in, with the papers Jesper had gotten forged for them.

Everyone else was dancing. Even Nina had gotten herself a dance partner, a real person, not waffles. Matthias would've had to be restrained if he saw how this man was looking at his girl.

Inej took a deep breath and looked at Kaz, "We should probably-"

"Of course," he knew what she was going to say. They needed to fit in and so they did. Dancing wasn't really Kaz's forte but it was hers.

He offered his gloved hand and he wished he could hold her soft hands again but he couldn't risk fainting in the middle of a heist and compromising it. He could try holding her hands again another time.

Kaz's other arm was loosely wrapped around her waist. Their faces a bit too close. Nina could've heard their heartbeats from a mile away. Even Inej wouldve heard Kaz's heart if she wasn't too focused on her own.

"Are you alright?" Inej whispered. She didn't want to make him uncomfortable.

"I'll be alright. It's you. I'm alright because its you," Kaz was being honest. If it was anyone else, he wouldn't have been alright but it was Inej. He'll be alright. He was still wearing gloves anyways, there wasn't any skin-to-skin contact.

Maybe in another life, in another universe, they could've been in a ballroom as guests, dancing fully comfortable. Not on some heist trying to steal a one-of-a-kind painting worth millions of kruge. He could've held her hand and he would smile without a care. She wouldn't have to be cautious where her hand dropped and she could've rested her head on his shoulders. In another life but not this one. They were just thieves from Ketterdam trying to live better lives.

plus a random pic of them coz theyre so adorable-

The elegance of the baroque was present in the initiation dance. Some dances you had been told about since you were a child. They told you they were sensational, but that you would never get to see them with your own eyes.

Yet there you were, in the dress that your maid, Agnès, had embroidered especially for you. A dress with a square-necked bodice, allowing the precious gold chain hanging from your neck, which carried a ruby in the center, to stand out noticeably. It also consisted of a triangular, v-shaped bib that slightly covered your chest and stomach, adhering to the corset. The jacket was as long as a housecoat, which opened at the front as the dress came to an end, showing a skirt of the same fabric as this one. A skirt that fell freely from your waist, which was adorned with ruffles and ribbons, exaggerating the sophisticated image of the dress. It was all covered with small flowers and abstract navy blue rhinestones that contrasted with the pale beige at the base of the dress.

Something too lush and ostentatious for your taste, but what could you do. The baroque had taken over people’s minds more than a hundred years ago, turning them into pawns of a demanding and selfish lifestyle that rewarded the rich and condemned the poor.

Trust me, you knew it well. You were born into a humble family, with parents who taught you to survive rather than to spend. They always told you to use that intelligent mind that God had given you, so that no one would take advantage of you, obviously referring to them. The aristocracy.

A real poison that had settled in the rich areas of Lyon, where the workers used to live in small wooden shacks with nails. But those nobles threw them out and caused real massacres, and then enslaved other labourers on their land.

The king, together with his secret advisors, believed that, in order to maximize the economy and the most important sources of energy, they had to get rid of a large part of the population. But they didn’t take the nobles, they decided that those who stood in their way were the harmless laborers, who didn’t even have a few crumbs of bread.

That's how you were separated from your parents. You were only eight, but that didn't stop them. They pushed and shoved and spat on them, while they held you by the arms, and then threw them into filthy floats. Finally disappearing from your sight.

You were never going to forget the fear and pain that was reflected in your parents' eyes. All that suffering, that emptiness they left you haunted you even in your dreams, preventing you from sleeping peacefully at night.

That's why you decided to rise in the aristocratic ranks so that you could find those scoundrels who preferred to leave thousands of children orphaned rather than oppose the orders of the king and his presumptuous advisors.

Yes, you were aware that if they did, they would die. But when you found them they would have the same end as if they had avoided all the chaos the aristocracy caused. You were going to avenge the death of your parents and all the children who died because they had no one to shelter them.

That's why you were here today at the inaugural ball of the young women. The debutante ball, a somewhat elitist way of introducing girls to society on their coming of age.

You found yourself talking relatively boringly to the Baron of Honfleur, who had come all the way from the north of France to meet the Gangoiti's daughter. For a long time, he had been telling you about l'église Sainte-Catherine, which he was so passionate about.

“It's a real wonder, Mademoiselle Leduc. The structure resembles a large ship placed upside down, its inconceivable appearance is thanks to the local shipbuilders.”

“It must be undeniably splendid, Baronnie de Honfleur,” you laughed a little at his animated tone of voice.

“Au fait. Who are your parents, fillette? I don't know any Leduc here in Lyon. Are you related to Viscount Leduc there in Bourges?”

You had to admit that the air was stuck in your throat, preventing oxygen from reaching your lungs for a few seconds. You had to try to conceal and articulate one of your much practiced lies so that the baronnie would not discover you.

“Oh no, pas du tout,” you replied, trying to give him your best smile. “Mon parents are on a trip, they went to Austria a few weeks ago. It would be impossible for you to have crossed paths with them, maybe that's why you don't know them.”

“A verre de vin, Mademoiselle?” a tray where four glasses rested on the silver surface appeared in front of your eyes, being held by a bartender who watched you with a beautiful smile drawn on his face.

“Merci beaucoup,” you smiled back at him and took the glass of red wine in my left hand.

“I must go now, Demoiselle,” the Baron said, holding your hand and placing a soft kiss. “It has been a pleasure talking to you”

“Likewise.”

It was at that moment that one of the majordomes called you to the dance floor, where dozens of young people ran to dance with their partners. You slightly furrowed your brow, shaking your head, all they cared about was the dancing and the parties, something that really frustrated you when you thought that there were millions of families without a roof over their heads.

Music, laughter, and dresses flying by. That was all you could see and hear in that huge hall. As the people around it chatted and drank from their wine glasses.

You decided to stop paying attention to the new dance, the passepied. You peeled off the wall and set off to find the person you were looking for, the Countess of Poitiers.

You were walking around absently while you asked the other guests if they had seen the woman you were trying to locate with eagerness. When you turned around after consulting an Ècuyer, you tripped over someone, causing some of the wine that was left in your glass to fall on top of the stranger's clothes and slip out of your hands.

“Oh, mon Dieu!” you exclaimed, reaching for your handkerchief and rubbing it over his shirt. “Forgive me, Monsieur.”

“Don't worry,” he said, taking your hands off his figure. “But I would appreciate it if you would call me Viscount, Mademoiselle. Of course, as I am the son of the Duke and Duchess of Lyon.”

“Of course, Monsieur,” you mumbled a little ashamed. “Viscount!”, you corrected yourself, feeling your cheeks turn red quickly.

“Now, if you don't mind, you may accompany me to the cooking room,” he suggested, trying to get rid of the red stains that had smeared his suit.

“Do you mean la cuisine?”, you asked, wrinkling your nose slightly.

The Viscount looked at you with furrowed eyebrows as he inspected every feature of your body, as well as your virtues and defects. You felt his brown, intense gaze pass through every pore of yours, perceiving how his eyebrows rose and he licked those pink lips he possessed as he examined you.

“Allez,” he muttered, holding your hand.

“What are you doing?”, you hesitated, nailing your feet to the ground to prevent him from dragging you further.

“I said we would go to the kitchen”, he answered.

“You used a conditional”, you said, letting go of his hand. “Forgive my boldness, Viscount, but that didn't sound like an order to me.”

He laughed, looking at you again with those brown eyes, making you tremble, inevitably. “You are right,” he agreed as he brushed his rings against his lips. “Come with me to the kitchen, it’s an order.”

Leaving you speechless and with a dry mouth, he again held your hand, leading you into the kitchen, passing among all the guests and elbowing them, provoking withering glances from them. He made you move quickly as he squeezed your hands tightly. You cursed yourself mentally for not being careful and bumping into him. Right now you would be talking to the Countess de Poiters and not being dragged into a kitchen for no reason by a man you knew nothing about.

“Well,” he muttered as he reached the kitchen and handed you back your stained handkerchief. “Dip it in that bucket”

Without saying anything, to avoid further discussion, you went over to the bucket and wet the tip of the handkerchief as you listened to the sound of clothes being removed. When you’d finished, you turned cautiously with your eyes slightly closed, waiting for the undressed body of a man.

“What are you doing?”, at that moment you opened your eyes wide, finding yourself with a funny but confused smile. Your gaze shifted from his face to his body, and you frowned as you saw him in clothes, still with his shirt on, but without his blazer. Why wasn't he naked? Your cheeks quickly warmed as you realized what you had been thinking. You wanted to laugh at myself, but I held back.

“I...”, you hesitated and looked away. “I've finished wetting my handkerchief.”

“I thought so,” he said, leaning his lower back against the counter which was full of dishes and moldy food. “Approche, approche.”, he insisted gesturing with his right hand.

You decided to obey to him and approached him, clearing your throat almost inaudibly, bringing the handkerchief close to his shirt.

“Désolé, for having soiled your suit.”

“I apologize to you too,” he whispered a few inches from your face.

He was quite tall. He was about four inches taller than you, maybe. But as he had his head a little lowered so that he could watch you delicately clean his spots. Little locks of hair fell down his forehead, tickling your temples.

“I was looking for someone.”

“Moi aussi,” you smiled, although it looked more like a grimace.

“Who are you?”, he asked in a soft voice.

“Je m'appelle y/n,” you replied, finishing rubbing the stains, which were now almost invisible. “I am the daughter of the Leduc. Perhaps you don't know them, they are on a trip,” you explained, leaving the handkerchief on the counter. “How about you?”

“My name is Jimin, Park Jimin.”

girl there's a pattern (someone said so on dayaspidey's Tumblr). when Tom is seen with a white girl they all jump straight to the point: "they are dating", and everything is rosy. But Z and Tom have seen each other several times, they share clothes, etc. but they can only be friends and nothing more ... guess what's the difference? 😑 If that's not racist then tell me what is?

It is..... and it's pretty blatant imo.

It reminds me of this article..... 👀

It definitely happens. The double standard is REAL.

We can ALL see it just by the anons that come in. 🤷🏾‍♀️

For example.....We Tomdaya fans need a million and one receipts in order to explain why we even SUSPECT that Tom and Z might be dating each other again, but if it's a white girl who's ABZ, all of a sudden, the bar is lowered SO LOW..... and you don't even need valid receipts lol.

Receipts?? What are those? Receipts be damned.... You can have the smallest bit of a crumb, and all of a sudden, Tom MUST be dating said white girl. 🙄

I'm not even sure if it's really a "race" thing at times, or if it's just more of an ABZ thing tbh.... But I'm leaning more towards it def being a racial thing sometimes, because when Tom was filming with Tati and pics came out, I saw a few Tomtati tweets and comments from fans here and there, but NOTHING barely from anons. 👀 Nobody mentioned Tomtati after a day or two.

Even when Tati said such sweet things about Tom in her video, I didn't see anons suddenly claiming (or insisting) that they were dating. 😏

Them there was Amanda Gorman. She's been pretty vocal about her love of Tom Holland too! She even told Ellen on her show that he's her celebrity crush.... This girl even went so far to tag him in a video post that she did with her friend. She follows him too! 😏

But CRICKETS....

Nobody came into my inbox claiming that Tom and Amanda would be "cute" together, or that Tom likes Amanda, or that Tom and Amanda might be talking in dm's...... NOTHING. NADA. RIEN.

But when it's Sydney, who WORKS with Tom's ex btw 🙄, all of a sudden it's an influx of Anon msgs trying to push a Tydney (ugh what an ugly ship name rofl... sounds too much like titty lol 😆 😅) agenda. 🙄🙄

Even when the shipping makes ZERO SENSE! (As we have seen in the case of Ciara, Sydney, and some of Tom's exes)

But they don't care..... They just wanna see Tom with ABZ, and anyone white will do. 👀 Some would even rather see Tom date a man than date Zendaya. 🙄

And then ppl wonder why we strongly suspect that SOME (notice I said SOME!) antis/trolls/ABZ's are racially biased. 😏

Z isn't dumb. I'm sure she sees it too. 👀

One good thing that I can say about JE lol is that I never really saw his fandom being this way with Z or about him dating her at all. And if anyone had any receipts, then PLEASE share them. But I never saw any fans behaving this way. Which goes back to my original theory that is now so the popularity level of the male in question that causes such visceral reactions in some fans. And of course, there are always fans who don't want to see Tom dating ANYBODY....😐 but they tend to be younger.

[noassallclass]

Fjord saying 'it's hard being angry with you' when his partner went behind his back and crossed a line he had already set is just sad. Cause he's allowed to feel angry about it, he's allowed to express why that's not okay! And him then going all passive-aggressive with her after because he actually was hurt/angry, is another sign of an unhealthy relationship. I love Jester, but I have always hated the way she behaved when it came to Fjord. Her feelings have always been underlined by this ugly possessiveness--- which is also why, to me, her feelings for him never seemed genuine. She never respected his boundaries because in her mind he always belonged to her, he was her Oscar, her Babanon-- even if he didn't know it yet😑There's a reason why so many of us read Fjord as sex-repulsed and it was usually because of how he interacted with Jes. And then suddenly you get 'you wore me down' and when you look at how their relationship have been, it's really quite disgusting. They should've never gotten together for both the characters sake! ( I know this was very one sided but I could go on and on how wrong Fjord acts in regards to Jester too lol🤷‍♀️) They really bring out the worst in each other

Honestly I feel like the fandom has been having conversations for years about how Jester’s early treatment of Fjord was bad and not good or healthy. I feel like we saw essay upon essay about it and how people were happy to see Jester’s growth to having a more mature sense of self and perspective on romance and relationships, because I’m sure people had the same views as Jester did when they were kids and read pulpy romance books or watched rom coms and had a distorted view on romance and pursuing/treating a romantic interest and seeing someone with arrested development going through the same stages others have gone through was neat

which makes it even more painful that we are back to square one. Honestly I think they treat each other horribly. Jester treating Fjord like a character from a book where she’s the protagonist and he is the object of her desire which justifies any action however disrespectful. And Fjord for being a condescending yes man that hates confrontation more than his personal boundaries being over stepped by his partner and just being kind of chauvinistic and treating Jester as this delicate thing he needs to protect. 

It’s just so painful because even if I don’t like there ship there could have been a way for the 2 of them to be together and still be their fully developed selves and have a healthy relationship that is fulfilling. I still personally would not be interested in it, and would still be a little disappointed because even after all their growth I don’t really see how their two diverging paths could cross romantically...but I must admit it could work! but in this stage it’s just bad and unhealthy and makes them both look bad and like all their character development was ultimately wasted...

Hiya! ❤️ Spy receives a phone call. Sniper overhears tge conversation, and he didn't like what he heard. Was Spy cheating on him? What the hell was going on? Sniper is angry and sad and he makes everything possible to evade Spy. It all hurts so much, not talking to Spy, not doing well in his job, Spy cheating on him... Its too much and Sniper breaks down. Spy has no idea whats going on and he grows worried with the pass of days. And he decides to get this shit sorted out.

Hey! Alright, here it is, I hope you’ll like it :) !

"Hey, fancypants, phone for you!"

Spy rose from the sofa where he had been reading a newspaper. He went to the kitchen and took the phone from Scout's hand. The young man left him alone. 

"Allô?"

[Hello?]

Sniper pushed the main door and entered. He was supposed to spend the end of the evening with Spy. He heard the Frenchman's voice coming from the kitchen and was about to join him when…

"Oui, ma belle, je sais, je sais..."

[Yes, my beauty, I know, I know…]

The Australian's jaw dropped. He stayed behind the door and listened. 

"Oui, à moi aussi tu me manques, tu sais… Oui… Non, mon travail est loin d'être fini malheureusement. Pardon? Oui, je suis seul. Non, non, je te promets, il n'y a personne d'autre."

Lucky or unlucky for him, Sniper had listened whenever his lover had taught him French and he was now able to understand it to a reasonable level.

Yes, I miss you too, you know… Yes… No, I don't know how much longer this job will be. Sorry? Yes, I am alone. No, no, I promise, there is no one else.

What did that mean? They were supposed to be together, him and Sniper!

The Australian risked it all and took a sneaky glance. He saw his lover facing the wall and lowering his head. He was speaking low and turning his back to the door, hunching his shoulders slightly. Sniper shook his head, a distraught look on his face, and left for his van. He had seen and heard enough. And for his evening with Spy…? 

Screw it. 

For the next few days, Sniper avoided the man in the hands of which he had put his heart. Spy noticed it of course and if at first he didn't make a lot of it, it annoyed him quite rapidly. 

When he went to his nest to talk to him after the matches, he found no one. When during dinner he extended his foot to play with Sniper's, he didn't find it. When he looked in his eyes, the Australian would evade his gaze and look the other way. 

And it went on for days until the Frenchman couldn't bear it anymore and decided to sort it out. He walked decidedly to his lover's van and knocked. 

"Who's that?"

"It's me." 

Sniper sighed and after a second he went and opened the door. 

"Yeah?"

"May I come in? I think we need to talk."

"If you say so…" 

Sniper let Spy in and closed the door after him. They sat on the worn out couch. 

"Why are you avoiding me?"

"What?"

"Don't play games with me, Sniper. You are avoiding me and I want to know why." 

"I'm not avoidin' you, what are you talkin' about?" 

"Ah, then my apologies…!" Spy said sarcastically. "I am all relieved and shall kiss you, if you don't mind."

The Frenchman got closer and closer to his lover while the Australian slowly backed off until he couldn't anymore. 

"No." 

Spy stopped. 

"So what is the matter?"

"You love someone else."

The Frenchman froze. 

"What?!"

"I heard you the other day, talking on the phone after dinner. You were talkin' to a sheila, calling her 'my beauty' and tellin' her that you missed her."

"Sniper-"

"Don't you dare try and argue!" The Australian took his colleague by his collar menacingly and his eyes flashed angrily. 

"This is all wrong! Sniper, let me go and I will explain!"

"No! You've lied long enough with me! So that's all I was to you, eh? Someone to warm yer bed with? Someone to kill time with when you were already with someone else?!" 

Sniper was talking with his jaw clenched and his teeth gritted. 

"Mundy, listen-!"

"No! You shut your bloody mouth up! That'll save you some more lies!" The Australian roared.

"Alroight then, let me ask, how many of us are there, hm? If there are two already, there might be three, or four, or maybe you lost count?!"

"May I speak?!" Spy had grown impatient and furious.

"No! I said you keep yer mouth shut and listen to me! Look, if you wanted someone to release some tension, that's yer right. But to make me believe that you had feelin's for me, that's just cruel. But alroight, if that's what you are in the end, fair enough, you played yer act very well and I didn't suspect a thing…"

"Mundy, mon amour-"

[My love]

"SHUT UP! Don't you dare call me like that, you bastard! The guts you have, I swear…! Even after I confront you with the truth, you still try and act like you… love me…?"

After uttering those two words, Mundy's voice broke. 

"Mundy, if you don't release me now and let me explain, I will make you release me and it will hurt."

The Australian continued, ignoring Spy's warning.

"So everything was a lie, eh? Maybe that's why you never removed yer mask with me. Maybe Lucien isn't even yer name… Who knows?"

"J'en ai entendu assez!"

[I have heard enough!]

Spy headbutted Sniper which distracted him just enough to free himself. He stood off the couch and looked down at his lover who put a hand on his forehead and hissed.

"Now, I will speak whether you allow it or not! Everything you just said was insane.  I love you, Mundy, I really do. I don't just spend my nights with whoever I manage to get, or I would never spend a night alone! Non, my feelings for you are more than sincere."

"So who was it on the phone?"

"My goddaughter."

Sniper's eyes snapped wide. 

"You're the godfather to a girl?"

"Oui. Her father used to be the head of a reasonably large drug dealing network that spanned all across the South of France. I was sent to arrest him and if things went pear-shaped, I had to kill him and make it look like an accident. So I did what I was sent for and things went pretty badly but in the end, I had him at gunpoint. He explained that he was expecting a baby with his partner."

"You let him go for that?"

"Not exactly. I asked him when the baby was due. He said in a little less than a month. So I made him an offer. I would let him live to see his baby come to the world. If by that point he had not dropped his business, I would find him and kill him. But if he did, I would let him live."

Sniper's jaw dropped. 

"After a month or so, I knocked on his door. He welcomed me as a friend and showed me the baby. It was a little girl. I asked him what his decision was, although I knew it already. He answered that he wanted to be a good father for her, for Chloé. And so I let him be. However, before I went away, he asked me about my job. I told him that I had lied to my superiors and in their eyes, he was dead. That meant that he had to stay put in the eyes of the law now. If he didn't, we would both be in trouble. He understood and asked me to be Chloé's godfather because there wasn't another man on Earth that he would trust his baby with but me."

"Wow… How old is she now?"

"About eight years old. She's adorable and she loves me like an uncle."

"Oh, bloody hell…"

"It's her who was talking to me on the phone the other day. When I was in France, I would visit her and her parents from time to time but it has been years now that I haven't and she's been asking about me apparently. So I sent her a card with a phone number and told her she could call me on the weekends if she missed me too much. The rest you know already."

Spy lit a cigarette and puffed on it. 

"So… So you uh… There's no one else, I mean, no other…?" 

"Lover? Non. There is only you, Mundy. I love you and contrary to what you said, I love you not only with this" He pointed at his trousers zipper. "But also this." He pointed at his heart. "And this." And at his head. 

Sniper got off the couch and got closer to his lover. 

"I'm sorry… I really thought you were with someone else and you were just usin' me." 

"It's fine." Spy put his cigarette on the edge of the sink behind him and slid his hands against the Australian's cheeks. "You didn't know."

"Y-you forgive me?" Sniper asked.

"More than that, I love you."

They both smiled sweetly. 

"Thanks, luv'." 

"On one condition." Spy added.

"Huh?"

"Embrasse-moi."

[Kiss me.]

Sniper put his hands on his lover's waist and pulled him to himself. He kissed him and it was a desperate thing. It had only been a few days but he had missed those lips terribly.

Part 1

—***—

It took you so long to let go of the grudge you were holding against Chantel and Colson, and to crawl out of the little hole you've built for yourself to just exist in. Meeting Gerald and spending time with him got you out of feeling sorry for yourself, of feeling like it was something you did that made Colson want to cheat on you. You spent your time asking yourself what you did to make him want to do something like that, or maybe it was something you said. Because to you, a drunk person was in a way at their most honest, and that's the time their inner feelings emerge and they act according to that and not their head. It was only when you started coming out into the world of socialising again did it hit you that you were not the problem. That you should not be blaming yourself that the man you loved not only ended up in another woman's bed, but also made her his girlfriend. So why couldn't you get Colson out of your head? Why is he still the first thing you think about when you wake up, and the last image that passes your mind before falling asleep? 

You should be sticking to what you said, being gone for good. Colson didn't really spend his days asking for you to forgive him, he was instead spending time with his new boo. And in reality that wouldn't change anything if he did. You're too stubborn to even listen to him, but in the back of your mind, you wished he at least tried. You really cared about Gerald and you knew he cared about you, so you spent a lot of time focusing on getting Colson out of your head and filling it with your music and your boyfriend. But Colson's face would always somehow manage to cloud your vision and at the same time give you a bundle on inspiration. And that irritated you more than anything, that the one guy you wanted to hate the most was the reason behind some of your best songs. But you didn't really know how much you were still in love with him until one night, when you received a call from an unknown number. You were in the shower at the moment, and since you had absolutely nothing to hide from Gerald, you told him to answer it.

If only you didn't. When you walked our of the shower, you saw him sitting on the edge of your bed with his head in his hands. Putting away the towel you were drying your hair with, you kneeled in front of him, worry in your gaze as you asked him what was going on. He looked at you with a strange look in his eyes that you couldn't quite decipher before telling you something that made your blood freeze and your eyes widen. Your heart started beating like crazy.

"Colson had a car accident, he's in the hospital now. His condition is critical."

Watching the change in your features along with how fast you were on your feet, getting ready to go and see him made Gerald think about the phone conversation he had previously, with Chantel. She was the one to call your phone while you were in the shower and told Gerald the news. But she didn't exactly tell him the same thing je told you. Colson's condition wasn't critical, he was knocked unconscious, but he was gonna be fine, with just a few cuts and bruises. The reason why she told your boyfriend to change the story was to show him that you were still in love with Colson.

"The two of them are still in love with each other and are failing miserably to fall in love with us. I'm calling only because as Colson was coming back to consciousness, out of all the names he could have said, he called out to Y/N. I feel terrible for being half of the reason why they ended their relationship, but if this works and you see that she's still in love with him by her actions, we should probably stop fooling ourselves with thinking that they will love us more than each other."

Those words played inside his head, as he had memorized them. He knew that you might still have feelings for your ex, but this confirmed for him that not even you were aware just how in love you still are. The car ride was silent and as soon as you entered the hospital, you were rushing towards the doctors, asking if Colson was gonna be alright. After they confirmed that he's gonna be fine, you sunk into one of the chairs in the waiting room, Chantel giving a meaningful glare to Gerald, who sat down next to you. He suggested that you two go home since now you know he's gonna be fine to which you quickly protested, saying that you were not leaving until they let you see him.

"You're still in love with him."

You shift your gaze at your boyfriend, who raised his eyebrows and nodded at you. That was when realisation of your behaviour hit you and you began explaining yourself to him. But Gerald  grabbed your hands, and shook his head slowly, telling you that you had nothing to explain yourself for. He already knew this would happen, but he just wished it didn't, or maybe that he was more ready for it when it did arrive. Chantel had already talked to Colson and told him that it's for the best that they end things, and that he should go back to pursuing you and asked your forgiveness, before exiting the hospital. You didn't want to lose Gerald and tears were streaming down your face as you apologise to him, telling him that you never wanted to hurt him.

"I know, sweetheart, I know. You can never lose me, I love you too much to let you go. But I know your heart belongs to him, so it's better for me to step back and let you be with the man you love. Perhaps he's the one who's gonna change your policy on never forgiving a cheating. Considering how much you still live him. Go be with him."

You gave Gerald a big hug, thanking him for his big heart and everything you two lived through before he also left and you were informed that you can enter the patients room now. As you did, Colson tried lifting himself up in the bed, but when he winced in pain, you were quickly by his side, and he gently took your hand in his.

"Im so sorry baby girl. You mean the absolute world to me and I love you more than anything in the world. If you agree to give us another shot, I promise to do my best to gain your trust again."

You smiled at him, before leaning in, and pressing your lips to his. A sigh of relief left Colson's lips before you both chuckle at your next words and he pulls you in for another kiss and a hug.

"Don't ever scare me like that again. I guess you're my fucking kryptonite after all. I love you too, always have, always will."
