Medicaid care coordinator mentioned "stepping down to a lower level of care" because I've been able to manage my appointments and consistently stay on top of regular healthcare tasks and I had to put it as bluntly as possible like "Ma'am I am autistic to such a disabling degree I'm applying for SSI, the reason I can manage my medical care 'independently' is because I have a team of care coordinators who find the info I need, tell me exactly which steps I am required to complete in chronological order, by what deadline, and call me once a month to remind me and give me all the same information you've given me five times before, via text, email, and phone message. This is a disability accommodation without which I would not be able to manage my healthcare. On account of I have autism"
#Ma'am I am developmentally disabled they had to help me at the DMV bc I didn't understand verbal instructions#And then got lost and almost had a meltdown#They were getting mad at me at the DMV until#I gestured with my cane and apologized and said I was autistic and it was#My first time at the DMV alone lol#Then they were condescending but immediately much much much kinder

Rant
I love my job because I love working with kids. I love seeing them grow and watching the ways their little minds work and helping them when they need it.
I also hate my job because I'll get used and abused all day, having to do things that AREN'T MY RESPONSIBILITY because literally no one else is paying attention to the kids, I am the only one watching even though I'm NOT the teacher, I'm NOT the classroom aide, I am a one-on-one.
But I CARE. I care so FREAKING MUCH about these kids that I can't just not do anything. I have TRIED to not do anything. It never works. And it's maddening and I hate it I hate it I hate that I can be USED in this way.
But by God these kids do not deserve to suffer just because I'm the only adult in the room willing to DO MY GOSHDANGED JOB so I do more than I should because these are LITTLE PEOPLE who don't UNDERSTAND. I want to wear a shirt every day that says, "I'm doing this FOR THE KIDS."
I just wish somebody else would do it for them too.
#rant#parapro#paraprofessional#kids#teacher#rant brought to you by: my coworker who does her job was out today and the teacher wasn't doing squat#and neither was the other teacher/aide#Idk how to classify her she's there because the actual teacher STILL doesn't have her certification#so for legal reasons she has to exist#and I GET that she didn't sign up to do this for a whole school year she signed up to do it for like a month#but crap happens and you're here so DO YOUR JOB#I 👏 AM NOT 👏 THE CLASSROOM 👏 AIDE 👏#STOP TREATING ME LIKE I AM#I'm also still sick and I am just TIRED#there was NO appreciation today#I had to YELL for them to realize one of the kids hurt me (slammed his head into my jaw not fun)#this happens at every parapro job I have I swear#one of the kids called me mean today and I almost lost it I swear#GIRL IT'S BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY ONE DOING ANYTHING#*AND* I'M SICK#not like I wasn't the one to figure out what one of our nonverbal kiddos needed#she had like ten puzzles out on a table and I had her clean them up because the other kids were gonna need the table soon#whole meltdown but we did it#meltdown continues#she's just walking around with a puzzle crying she doesn't want to DO the puzzle but she doesn't want to put it back either#WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO JUST IGNORE THE CRYING CHILD (like everyone else)?!?#yeah did that for about a minute couldn't take it#asked if she needed a hug#got down and asked her what was wrong#she finally does uppy arms at me so I pick her up

"You know, for the past few days, I expected to see you sooner than later but It never came to my mind seeing you sitting here in the couch of my vacation home wearing flip flops and swimsuit briefs"
Katsuki was no fool when it came to you.
"What are you doing?" He asked, leaning with his arms into his knees.
"Washing my clothes?" You were dumbfounded by his question when he was watching you closely.
"Uh-uh no, you know what I mean"
You rolled your eyes. There wasn't really a way out of this. Bakugo had known you since you were little toddlers running in the mud and getting bruises and scratches, he knew you like the palm of his hands.
"Fine" You sat in front of him and played with your naked fingers. Yeah, you took off your engagement ring after you ran off your own wedding.
"I'm fucking listening, brat"
A man of patience.
"I didn't want to get married in the first place" you blurted out lifting a heavy weight of your chest. "I solely started to hate him in the process and I thought, hey, that's not cool"
"You sound exactly like Kirishima, disgusting" he rolled his eyes but you knew what he was doing, trying to make everything more bearable for you with his twisted and weird humor.
"I just, I love him really but it's not the quite of love when you see a person and feel all these explosions and you feel that you might be torn apart because of them, breaking down in a meltdown of hearts and flowers and-and confetti" you stuttered. "I know it's lame but, I really think that's what love should feel"
Oh, you just hit the nail. Poor him, he came all the way from Musutafu to Okuto Island to be there for his best friend but instead, he was there watching you describe all his feelings for you.
"Well if you don't feel like that when it comes to that bastard then that's it. You can force it" he shrugged.
Let's face it. He was happy to see you so chill about you splitting something that almost lasted what? four years? but, he was also happy that you didn't get married.
When you told him the news, he felt torn, but he shook the feeling right away to be by your side. When you didn't show up at the church, he couldn't help but feel the happiness rising up in his body.
It wasn't so hard to find you. The first thing that he did was use the spare key you gave him of your apartment and went through your stuff. It was classic you, always leaving tracing marks wherever you go. He found your apartment neat, so he thought that probably the fact that you ran off was something premeditated.
He found the receipts of your plane tickets when he snoop through your mail, and it clicked. He needed to see you.
"I guess you're right." You sighed and clapped your hands in your knees. You stood up to move closer to him and sit by his side. "Anyway, thanks for coming all the way here"
"Of course," he said and felt bold enough to add. "You've always been my girl, and I'll back you up any day of the week, no question asked"
"I'll pack my things so we can go back." You wiggled your toes and caught him staring at your weirdness, you let a laugh.
"Hah? Nah, that won't do. They won't give me back the days I asked to get here, " he said nonchalantly.
"Days? You mean-what? Bakugo Katsuki, are you telling me that you are willingly taking your days off? For me??" You laughed at him, but in a good way, he smirked at you, kicking your feet like a little child.
"Yeah yeah shithead, whatever, let's enjoy this little shack you got." he pressed his big ass hand in your mouth to keep your laughs quiet.
"There's only one bed, tho." You quirked a brow at him, but he just shrugged you off.
"Tch, like we never had shared a bed before," he rolled his eyes. "Now come on, I want to get in the fucking ocean and hopefully get bit by a shark so I can howitzer it to the moon"
"You're joking right now, Have you ever heard of meditation?" you stumbled through his giant feet, and he pushed you. You completely lost your balance but miraculously stayed still. "Oh fuck off you psycho"
"Ha-ha, you think you're funny, don't you?" He followed you, grabbing his suitcase to leave it in your room while you stretched yourself to get the towels.
"I am fucking funny you asshole" you poked your tongue out and threw the towels at his face.
The beach was just perfect. The sun glistening in your face, leaving you with sunkisses marks that would last for a few months, giving you the ideal tan that everyone in your agency will envy. Bakugo was at your side, skin dried after he made a run towards the ocean, trying to catch a fight with any animal or kid that would get on his way. He was resting with a magazine on his face because the sun hurt his eyes.
You took a peek at him, and the memories flooded in your brain. The first time his mom introduced you to play with the only kid that was alone. You remembered thinking how that was possible, well, after he tackled you and put your face in the ground, you knew. After that, and because you punched him in the gut, you were inseparable. You remembered you two walking to school in the morning and then studying together in your house in the afternoon. You remembered when you two got in UA and how excited he was even though he didn't demonstrate it. You remembered graduating by his side and the hangover after you went partying with your shared friends, how he took care of your drunk ass, even though he was drunk too. The nostalgia invaded you, but it felt like it was more than just that.
"You know, I know we don't say this very often," you said while taking off the magazine of his face to make him look at you, "but I love you, Katsuki."
He pretended to gag. He felt things on the pit of his stomach, and it only made it worse the fact that you, for the first time, didn't add the "as a friend" part.
"You are making me sick," he murmured, putting the magazine all over his face again to hide the redness in his cheeks.
"Say it back, you bastard," you screamed at him, tickling his ribs, which was still his weak point.
The gremlin spatted your hand away and then took both of your hands in one of his, locking them behind his head in the sand. The sudden movement made you squeak and land on his perfect and toned abs.
"You damn bastard, let me go!" You tried to release your hands from his grip, but it was useless. "At least tell me you love me too"
He loved you more than anything.
"Over my dead body." he closed his eyes and ignored you, completely zoning off your attempts to get your hands back and to avoid being laid on top of him.
"You're going to pay"
"I wanna see you try," he mocked you pinching your hips.
The thought of having other feelings for your best friend scared the shit out of you, but you knew, deep down, that maybe after seeing him caring so deeply for you, maybe just maybe, the feeling was something mutual.

♡ Sign Here… Wait, What?! | CL16
Pairing: Charles Leclerc x Reader [Crack Fic]
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
Summary: Two strangers hit the courthouse for a ticket and a typo fix—next thing you know, they’re accidentally married. Chaos, a clerk who couldn’t care less, and a fiancée on the verge of a meltdown, convinced it’s all some evil plot. Spoiler: it’s not.
"For the last time, Brittany, it wasn’t on purpose!"
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
A/N: Inspired by my writer's block for my other fic and that one video of Charles just randomly signing anything he's handed.
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
check out my other works: Masterlist
The courthouse was an absolute disaster. It was understaffed, overcrowded, and seemed to be held together by the fragile thread of everyone’s fraying sanity. You had been stuck there for hours, and all for a minor spelling error in your legal name. At this point, you were half convinced you’d be old and gray before they got to you. The whole place felt like a purgatory of paperwork.
The guy sitting next to you looked equally miserable. He had a baseball cap pulled down low and sunglasses on like he was trying to go incognito in the world’s least glamorous place. You hadn’t exchanged many words, but the mutual annoyance simmering between you two was almost palpable.
“This is hell,” you muttered, crossing your arms tightly. “Who knew fixing one typo would take all day?”
The guy let out a long, weary sigh. “Tell me about it. I’ve been here for hours. And all for a stupid speeding ticket.”
You shot him a sideways glance. “A speeding ticket? In this city? I didn’t think that was even possible.”
He gave a small chuckle, shaking his head. “Yeah, I guess I just had to be that guy.”
The shared complaint was enough to crack a small smile out of you. But that was the only bright spot in this nightmare of a day. Every time the overworked and increasingly agitated clerk called someone forward, she did it with the enthusiasm of someone trapped in the seventh circle of customer service hell. Her eyes screamed “don’t even think about making my day worse,” and the way she barked out “Next!” like she was calling people to their doom wasn’t helping anyone’s mood.
Finally, the fateful “Next!” came again, and both you and the guy next to you jumped up at the same time. You both stared at each other, disbelief and irritation flaring up.
“I think it’s my turn,” you said, arms crossed.
He raised his eyebrows under the brim of his cap. “Uh, no, I’ve been waiting way longer.”
“Yeah, well, I’ve been waiting forever for a typo correction!”
“And I’ve been here since this morning for a stupid speeding fine!” he shot back, his voice rising in frustration.
You both stormed toward the counter, practically shoving each other out of the way, bickering like children. The clerk didn’t even look up from her screen, clearly sick of everyone and everything. “Names,” she demanded with the enthusiasm of a broken vending machine.
“Charles Leclerc,” the guy said, jumping in before you could even open your mouth.
You blinked at him in surprise. Charles Leclerc? Who just throws out their full name like that? You barely had time to process before the clerk barked out her next order.
“Both of you, step forward.”
“Wait, what? Why me?” you blurted out, confused as hell.
The clerk didn’t respond. She just jabbed her finger at the space in front of her, signaling for you both to step up. You shot Charles a questioning look, but he seemed just as lost as you were, though he didn’t argue. Sighing in defeat, you stepped up beside him.
The clerk slapped two pieces of paper on the counter with the grace of a war general deploying a tactical nuke. “Sign here.”
Charles didn’t even hesitate. He grabbed the pen and signed his paper with an alarming speed, as if this was something he did every day. You stared at him like he’d lost his mind.
“What are you doing?” you whispered, still unsure why either of you were signing anything.
“I dunno,” he muttered back, not looking up. “People give me stuff to sign all the time. It’s muscle memory.”
Muscle memory? Who just signs things without reading them?! You were about to protest when the clerk shot you a look so sharp it could have pierced through solid steel.
“Sign,” she repeated, her voice low and dangerously calm.
Your stomach twisted in confusion, but the clerk’s death stare was enough to make you scribble your name down without another word. It didn’t feel right, but you were too exhausted to fight. The ink had barely dried on the paper when the clerk slammed a stamp down and said, with zero enthusiasm, “Congratulations, you’re married.”
A beat of stunned silence.
Then chaos erupted.
“WHAT?!” you and Charles screamed simultaneously, both of you staring at the clerk in absolute horror.
Charles dropped the pen like it had just burned his hand. “Wait—what do you mean married?!”
“I’m here for a speeding ticket!” he continued, his voice cracking in disbelief.
“And I’m just here to fix a typo!” you added, throwing your hands up. “How did we just get married?!”
The clerk just raises one eyebrow and looks at her computer screen “But it says here that a Charles is supposed to get married today”
“Well clearly it’s not me!” he screams.
The clerk, utterly unfazed by the chaos she had just unleashed, didn’t even bother to look up from her computer. “You signed the marriage certificate. You’re married.”
You blinked at her, feeling like the room was spinning. “How—no, there’s got to be some mistake. We can’t be married. Can’t you just, I don’t know, not register the paperwork or something?”
The clerk slowly raised her eyes to look at you, her expression blank and dead inside. “It’s against the rules,” she said, as if this was the most obvious thing in the world.
“Against the rules?!” you repeated, your voice reaching a higher pitch.
Charles let out a panicked laugh, running a hand through his hair. “This is insane. This can’t be happening. I’m not even supposed to be getting married!”
Suddenly, a man in the back of the room shot to his feet, waving his arms frantically. “WAIT! WAIT, NO! I’M CHARLES ANDERSON! I’M THE ONE WHO’S SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING MARRIED TODAY!”
The whole room turned to look at him as he came barreling toward the counter, his crumpled papers in hand.
“YOU CALLED FOR CHARLES!” he shouted, pointing accusingly at the clerk. “I’M CHARLES ANDERSON! THEY’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MARRIED! I AM!”
You and Charles Leclerc whipped your heads toward each other, eyes wide in absolute disbelief. “Oh my God,” Charles muttered, shaking his head. “This is an actual nightmare.”
You stared at him, trying to make sense of everything. “I don’t even know you!”
Charles Anderson was now pacing in front of the counter like a madman, his papers flailing in his hand. “My fiancée’s going to kill me! They took our spot!”
You turned to face him, throwing your hands in the air. “We didn’t ask for this, okay?!”
“Can we fix this?” Charles asked the clerk, his voice cracking slightly from panic. “Like, can we just undo it? Cancel the whole thing? Please?”
The clerk let out a slow, dramatic sigh as if they were asking her to climb Mount Everest. She clicked a few buttons on her computer, then looked up at you both with the same bored expression. “Closest annulment appointment is… this Tuesday.”
“TUESDAY?!” you both screamed, causing half the room to turn and stare at you.
Charles Anderson let out a high-pitched shriek. “But my wedding is supposed to be TODAY! WHAT ABOUT MY WEDDING?!”
You whirled on him. “NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR WEDDING, CHARLES ANDERSON!”
Charles Leclerc was pacing now, hands on his head like he was trying to keep himself from exploding. “I can’t believe this is happening. This can’t be happening. I came here to pay a stupid speeding ticket, and now I’m married?”
You pinched the bridge of your nose, feeling like you were going to hyperventilate. “I came here for a typo correction. This was supposed to be the easiest thing ever, and now I’m married to someone I don’t even know!”
Charles Anderson, still flapping his marriage certificate, looked like he was going to start sobbing any second. “My fiancée is going to leave me. She’s going to walk out of this courthouse and leave me. We’ve been planning this for months!”
You threw your hands in the air. “This is not about you, Charles Anderson! We just accidentally got married, and you’re worried about yourself?!”
Charles Leclerc spun around to face the clerk, practically begging. “Please, can’t you just… not file the paperwork? We didn’t mean to sign anything!”
She stared at him, eyes glazed over, before sighing deeply. “It’s against the rules.”
“AGAINST THE RULES?!” Charles repeated, his voice reaching a panicked squeak.
The clerk took another slow sip of her coffee. “You can get an annulment. On Tuesday.”
Charles threw his hands in the air, pacing faster. “This is insane. I can’t just—Wait.” He turned to you, blinking rapidly. “Who even are you?”
You blinked back, equally confused. “I don’t know! I mean—I’m me? Who are you?”
“I’m Charles Leclerc,” he said, as if that was supposed to mean something.
You squinted. “…And?”
“And I drive in Formula 1.”
You stared at him blankly. “What’s that? A type of bus?”
Charles Anderson finally chimed in, “Oh my God, you don’t know who Charles Leclerc is?!”
You turned to glare at Anderson. “I don’t care! I just want to undo this whole mess!”
Charles Leclerc let out a frustrated groan. “This is the weirdest day of my life.”
“Oh, you think?” you shot back, throwing your arms up. “This is not how I imagined my day going either!”
Charles Anderson was now pacing in circles, mumbling about his ruined wedding day. The clerk, unbothered by the chaos she had caused, sipped her coffee again, clearly wishing she were anywhere else.
“This is insane! Can’t you just shred the papers or something?” Charles Leclerc was practically pleading now, his hands gesturing wildly like he was on the verge of losing it. “We didn’t mean to get married! Just pretend it never happened!”
The clerk, still sipping her coffee like none of this was her problem, took an agonizingly slow sip and deadpanned, “As I’ve said already, it’s against the rules. The paperwork is in. It’s legal. You’re married.”
“WHAT RULES?!” you cried, throwing your hands in the air. “There’s no way we’re stuck because of a technicality! This isn’t an episode of Law & Order! No one’s going to arrest you for this!”
The clerk blinked at you, her expression as blank as ever. “The rules are the rules,” she said, like she had this line tattooed on her forehead. “Take it up with a judge.”
Just as you were about to lose your mind, there was a loud crash behind you. You turned in time to see a woman in a wedding gown who was most definitely Charles Anderson’s fiancée, kick a chair out of the way, marching up to him like a woman possessed.
“YOU’RE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE AREN’T YOU?” she screeched, pointing an accusing finger at Anderson, who shrank back in terror. “You just didn’t want to marry me, so now you’re pulling this stunt?”
“What?! No!” Anderson yelped, looking around the courthouse like he could find an escape hatch. “It’s not my fault Brittany! They—” he pointed at you and Charles Leclerc, “—they’re the ones who got married!”
Brittany wasn’t having it. “Yeah, right! You’ve been making excuses for months, and now you’re going to try and pin this on them?! What, did you pay them to mess up the paperwork?”
You waved your hands in a panic. “Lady, we don’t even know each other! I’m literally just here to fix a spelling mistake in my name!”
Charles Leclerc jumped in, looking equally panicked. “And I’m just here for a speeding ticket! I don’t even know what’s going on!”
Charles Leclerc looked like he was officially losing his mind. He was pacing in circles, gesturing wildly at the air, as if the universe might suddenly intervene. “I have a race next week! I can’t be married right now! This is insane!”
You stared at him, completely lost. “What are you even talking about? Why does a race have anything to do with this?”
Charles paused mid-panic, looking at you like you’d just said the sky was purple. “For the last time I’m a Formula 1 diver!.”
You blinked and scream out in frustration. “…YOU KEEP SAYING THAT LIKE IT SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING TO ME!?”
Charles looked at you like you’d just spoken in a different tongue. “Formula 1! It’s international. Fast cars, precision driving, circuits all over the world?”
You squinted. “So… like NASCAR?”
Charles’s eye twitched. “NO! It’s not like NASCAR! It’s—" He took a deep breath, clearly trying to calm himself. “Formula 1 is completely different. It’s the pinnacle of motorsport. We race on tracks, not ovals, and the cars are way faster and more advanced.”
“Oh,” you said, not even pretending to be impressed. “So it’s like NASCAR with extra steps.”
Charles groaned, pressing his palms into his eyes. “I can’t do this.”
Before you could respond, Brittany threw her hands up in the air, clearly fed up. “I CAN’T DO THIS EITHER!” She pointed at Charles Anderson, who was now trying to hide behind the counter. “I knew you were stalling this wedding on purpose, Charles! You’ve been dodging this day since we got engaged!”
“Brittany, no! I swear it wasn’t me! It’s just some kind of mix-up!” Anderson tried to reason with her, his voice cracking under the pressure. “It’s a misunderstanding! I didn’t plan this!”
“Oh, so you just accidentally handed over our wedding slot to complete strangers?!” Brittany’s voice was so loud now that other people in the courthouse were starting to stare. “And now we have to wait while you run around trying to fix your mess!”
You slapped your hands over your face, feeling the absolute ridiculousness of the situation weighing on you. “This is the dumbest thing that’s ever happened to me.”
Charles Leclerc was now pacing frantically again. “I can’t be married! This is… this is a PR nightmare! my career is ruined! Fred's gonna kill me!”
“Oh my God, no one cares about your stupid racing career!” Brittany screeched, cutting him off. “My wedding’s been hijacked, and you’re worried about PR?!”
Leclerc turned back to the clerk, his voice rising in desperation. “Can’t you just void the paperwork? Pretend this didn’t happen? We didn’t actually want to get married!”
The clerk, completely unaffected by the chaos swirling around her, let out a slow, tired sigh. “It’s against the rules.”
“SCREW THE RULES!” you shouted, slapping your hand on the counter. “No one cares about your rules! Can’t you just— I don’t know— delete the file or something?”
“The government cares about the rules,” the clerk responded flatly, barely looking up from her computer screen.
Charles Leclerc, utterly exasperated, ran a hand through his hair and muttered, “This can’t be happening. This is the worst day of my life.”
“Your life?!” you shot back, eyes wide. “I just came here to fix a typo, and now I’m married to a stranger who yells about race cars!”
Leclerc threw his hands up in frustration. “I’m not yelling about race cars!”
“Yes, you are!”
Brittany stormed back up to the counter, where Charles Anderson was practically cowering. “And you,” she hissed, jabbing a finger into his chest. “You think this is some big joke, don’t you? Delaying the wedding again just because you don’t want to marry me?!”
“I swear, it’s not what it looks like!” Anderson pleaded, trying to grab her hands. “I love you! This is just a mistake!”
“Mistake my ass!” Brittany shrieked. “We’ve been engaged for three years, and now, instead of us getting married, I have to watch these two idiots get hitched by accident!”
You threw your hands up, eyes darting between Brittany and the hysterical Anderson. “We don’t even want to be married! This isn’t some elaborate plan! I’ve literally known this guy for less than five minutes!”
Leclerc, looking like he was about to snap, turned back to the clerk. “There’s nothing you can do? Nothing at all? Can’t we get, like, an emergency annulment or something?”
The clerk glanced up lazily from her coffee. “Like I said next available appointment for an annulment is this Tuesday. Wait no, it’s actually next Tuesday”
“NEXT TUESDAY?!” you and Leclerc both screamed in unison, your voices echoing off the courthouse walls.
“Can’t we just get another slot today please?!” Anderson wails
“Sorry but the fastest I can squeeze in a wedding is on Saturday 25th” the clerk says sipping her coffee nonchalantly.
“The 25th?” Anderson whimpered. “But… my wedding is today! The 25th is like 2 weeks away!”
“Oh, shut up, Charles!” Brittany yelled, practically shoving him. “There is no wedding today! You’ve ruined it! And you know what? Maybe that’s for the best!”
Charles Anderson looked like he might burst into tears at any moment. “But Brittany—”
“Save it!” she snapped, before turning to you and Leclerc. “And you two? Good luck with your stupid accidental marriage. I hope you’re very happy together.”
Leclerc, who had clearly had enough, shot back, “Oh, we’ll have a blast. Trust me. This is exactly what I wanted out of today. To marry a complete stranger in the middle of a bureaucratic nightmare.”
You rubbed your temples, feeling a headache coming on. “This has got to be some kind of cosmic joke.”
From behind, Anderson was still shrieking about his doomed marriage, while Brittany yelled about commitment issues and a wedding that would “never happen at this rate!”
Charles Leclerc leaned over the counter, looking like he was about two seconds away from losing it entirely. “Is there nothing you can do?”
The clerk just looks at him. “Next tuesday.”
He threw his hands up and muttered under his breath, “I should’ve just paid the speeding ticket online.”
The clerk, unfazed by the circus happening in front of her, sipped her coffee and calmly called out, “Next in line, please.”
And that ladies and gentlemen is how you ended up accidentally married to Charles Leclerc in the most ridiculous courthouse mix-up of all time.

How do you think the boys were when MC didn't come back for a day? I imagine Kaito starting a riot and probably crying. Maybe even failing to sneak out lol (I love him 😭)
Oh GOD! the CHAOS! I'm gonna do this more as a group headcanon for both houses. Thank you for sending in a request!
It was around lunch time when the message that MC went MIA on a mission. These are the headcanons of the brave souls that survived that day.
FROSTHEIM
Jin was already pissed that he lost his newest gopher (affectionate) to do stuff for him. But the second that message dropped. He had to do a double and even a triple take to make sure he read that right. As soon as he's sure he IMMEDIATELY get Tohma to check the tracker on the cruiser he lent out to them (he's rich. He absolutely has a tracker put on his shit)
Kaito is screaming, crying, throwing up (okay maybe not that last one). He's READY to go dive into the water to save MC. He is LOSING IT scoob!
Some would think that our boy Luca would try to keep Kaito calm....in actuality he's almost just as bad. He just manages to keep it on the inside. He's trying to do it through the proper channels (ie Professor Dante) but when that doesn't work or will take too long for their liking, he's coming up with an escape plan right alongside Kaito.
We gave to remember that Luca has already lost one of his loved ones. He's sure as HELL not losing another one without a fight!
Tohma is STRESSED! Not because MC is missing though. He's concerned sure, but he's sure they'll come back soon, missions are typically dangerous after all. He doesn't have much faith in the academy itself. Its more of a logical way of thinking. Its one day, he's sure they're fine.
Where his stress is coming from is the other Frostheim ghouls. He's basically that meme of someone with kids on leashes each going in different directions. Someone HELP this man's before he goes gray!
VAGASTROM
Alan had to hear from someone else. He was shocked to hear that MC had gone missing. It was even worse since the last time he saw them they weren't sure if their ability worked or how it worked. He went to go ask some of the professors to see what happened but got what was essentially nothing.
Sho was worried but he didn't show it. He tried to play it off like he was too focused on his food truck to worry about the honor student. He did however ask his brother about them when he saw him next. His brother mercilessly teased him about possibly liking MC and Sho instantly regretted asking. Every now and then he considered trying to call MC to see if they would answer.
He decided against it and focused more on his truck to keep his mind off of things.
Leo doesn't care. At this point he still wants to take MC down. So while its not the way he wanted to do it, it meant no more annoying NPC tagging along on missions with them. So to him, it was a win. The only annoying part was Alan and Sho worrying about them. He didn't get it and just laughed at the gossip on WickChat about the meltdown at Frostheim.

❤︎ | You just love teasing your best friend—even better now that he's frustrated and can only see you through a screen (2.1k wc) ╰ feat. narumi gen (kn8) x afab! reader
kinktober entry no. 1 | kinktober masterlist
tags - best friend! narumi, virgin! narumi, reader also works in the force, cybersex, mutual masturbation, so much dirty talk, flashing, nipple play (kinda), swearing
minors do not interact
You and Narumi Gen go way back to your trainee days. Much to everyone's surprise, you two became quick friends—really good friends at that. I mean, who would've thought?
There's you—a fiery little thing, loves to poke fun and tease her friends. Then, there's Narumi Gen—bit of an oddball. Truth be told, you two had almost nothing in common, except for the fact that you were both strong.
You, Narumi, and Mina led your trainee batch; everyone looked up to you. Mina respected the two of you. Narumi, of course, couldn't accept that there was someone tailgating him at his position at the top. And you—who admired Narumi quite a lot. Although, that admiration came in the form of endless teasing. It wasn't just Narumi who was annoyed, but the rest of your fellow trainees as well. They were forced to be a witness of your 'disgusting and coy display of affection.'
Narumi said he hated it. He hated how strong you were and how you were always up in his business. Yet, you two were attached at the hip. It was a paradox, but neither of you addressed it. That was until you both graduated and got assigned at different bases which were hours apart.
Your feelings for each other were thrown into disarray. But that didn't mean you lost all correspondence.
────────────
"You look like shit."
Narumi groans from the other end of your video call. You were teasing him, but it was partially true—his eyes were sunken and a deep frown persisted on his face.
He glares intensely at you. "You wouldn't understand the burdens of the strongest kaiju killer, would you?"
His arrogance was only met by a laugh. That same laugh was one he despised, but sought after because... it just felt right. There were many things in his head that made no sense and the common denominator was you. "Why do you have to mess up my mind?" he'd often think, especially on his sleepless nights.
Narumi leans back in his chair, a pensive sigh escaping his dried lips. "But y'know... I've really been frustrated lately..." he admits.
It was a rare show of vulnerability. Most of the time, he's too prideful to admit his true feelings, but after knowing you for so long, he has learned to let his walls down sometimes. At the very least—you were nice enough to pause the teasing when it gets serious.
"Overworked huh?" you ask.
He turns his chair to face you again, tilting his head and letting out another fatigued breath. "That and life is just so BORING," he exclaims. You raise an eyebrow, anticipating a hissy fit which wasn't uncommon for this guy.
"I feel like all I do is work and work... and work. God, even the younger members of this base have more fun than I do."
A smirk crosses your lips, amused that you predicted his impending meltdown. "What? Like they don't deserve it?"
"Duh! I'm out here busting my ass off—killing kaiju left and right—and these kids are the ones having a social life?"
"When did you care about being social, Mr. Shut-in?"
He clicks his tongue. "Okay, first of all, fuck you. Second, I don't care about social relations. I am WAY above that, okay? I don't care about what they do. They can fuck like rabbits in the dorms for all I care but—"
Narumi was cut off by the sound of your boisterous laughter. As much as you tried to keep the serious facade, it was impossible... especially after figuring out his true cause of distress.
"Oh my God... don't tell me you're mad because the younger soldiers are getting more action than you?"
His face felt warm all over. Narumi didn't mean to blurt that out, but envy had been consuming him for the past few days after he had heard some younger members of the base... getting dirty in one of the dorms.
Narumi was the strongest soldier—admired and idolized by many. Yet, here he was—a raging virgin with a seemingly unreciprocated crush on you. Yes, you, but he'd rather die than admit it to your face.
He turned to look away, stunned into silence by his own actions. He was unsure of how to salvage his reputation at the moment. "That's not what I meant..."
All the arrogance had faded from his voice—replaced by a uncharacteristic softness as a result of embarrassing himself.
"Oh c'mon. There's nothing embarrassing about that. We're only human; we can feel those things, y'know?"
"Even you?" he counters.
An uneasy smile spreads across your face. "Yeah... even me."
But the look on his face says that he isn't convinced. In his head he's thinking about how impossible that is considering how attractive you are. You had to be lying about being in the same boat as him.
Though you weren't sure why you wanted him to believe you.
"I'm serious. Look, I'm in a base far away from all the people I know and the guy here aren't exactly my... cup of tea," you added.
With that, your best friend's face seemed to lighten up a bit. Part of him was glad that even someone as hot as you was in the same predicament as him, but mostly because the person he likes isn't being taken by anyone else.
As high and mighty he sees himself, he always thought himself unworthy of you. The simple fact that you were unclaimed gave him a sliver of hope.
He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. The poor guy was confused and it was clear as day. You felt mostly responsible for it. As you prepared to say something, you crossed your arms—pushing your boobs up in the process. Wearing a tank top suddenly made you conscious of your body.
An intrusive thought invaded your brain. It was perhaps the result of you wanting to tease him, his frustration, and you being secretly pent up as well. It was a futile attempt to shake off that thought as it kept bombarding you.
You were able to hold it in, until you couldn't.
"Hey... Gen?"
"What?" he says, sounding a bit dejected by his circumstances.
You stifled a smile, knowing that he'd be thrown off by it. "Can you turn around? I wanna show you a surprise."
He raises an eyebrow, skeptical of whatever you have up your sleeve. Throughout your years together, he has learned to take your so-called sincerity with a grain of salt. But his affection towards you makes him abandon all rational thought.
"Okay?" he says, turning around in his swivel chair.
You let out a breath—giving yourself a quick mental pep talk. You quickly lifted your top, thrilled and anxious of the risk at the same time.
It was now or never. "Okay, you can look now."
Narumi quickly turns in his seat, eyes widening upon seeing a pair of tits—your tits—on his screen. He frantically looked away, covering his eyes with his hands—though he wasn't doing a good job at it.
"H-hey! What the fuck? Put those away!"
His words betrayed his actions; you could see him peeking through his fingers. You figured you were at a point of no return, so you did the only appropriate thing: squishing your boobs together for him.
Seeing your boldness, he let his hand fall—finally admiring what you displayed for him. "Seriously... what are you doing?"
"We're both frustrated, aren't we?" you ask as if your situation was ordinary.
"So what? I stare at your tits?"
"Dumbass. Is that all you do when you're frustrated? Stare at shit?"
He rolls his eyes, trying to act blasé, but there was a growing tent in his pants. "No... well, I guess I... jack off... sometimes..."
As if saying 'sometimes' softens the blow of his words.
You let go of your tits and lean back into your chair. It was entertaining—how his eyes never seem to leave your chest. Almost as if he were entranced by it.
His body moved on its own, palming the growing erection under his sweats. It ached; it was painful and it wanted relief.
With the angle of the camera, you couldn't really see him pull his cock out from under the desk, but you just knew. The momentary o-face he made presumably when the cold air of his room hit the warm and sensitive skin of his cock was a dead giveaway.
All shame was thrown out the window as he started to slowly fist his cock at the sight he could only dream of. It almost felt unreal to him that all of this was happening—you willingly showing off your tits while he jacked off and you watched.
It was exhilarating in all the best ways.
But he wasn't the only one excited. This all started because you were frustrated too. Your eyes were fixed on his face. Unlike him—who had visuals—all you could go off on was the fact that you were doing something so dirty.
A hand slipped under your shorts and beneath your panties. It was damp, of course it was. You slowly rubbed the pad of your finger against the sensitive bundle of nerves.
Narumi must've noticed your own movements as well because he let out a low groan. "Fuck... that's hot."
You huff your chest out with a smirk. "Bet you're so hard right now huh?"
"Like you're not a fucking waterfall down there," he retorts.
The back and forth goes on while the two of you played with yourselves.
Eventually, the stimulation wasn't enough for you. Quickly, you pulled your hand out and popped your fingers into your mouth. He watched intently, mesmerized by you.
After sufficiently lubricating your digits, you snuck them back in and plunged two fingers into you. The pleasant intrusion had you throwing your head back against your chair and letting out a soft moan.
He rubbed himself faster than before. Narumi was desperately reaching his high, wanting to quell the ache in his cock.
"Play with your tits," he demanded.
You had heard him well enough before you got lost in the sensation. Your other hand made its way up to cup one of your breasts, slowly massaging it in a teasing manner. His jaw went slack at how easily you obeyed his orders.
The ego boost that he got while ordering around his subordinates isn't even on par with this at all.
Every time you flicked or tugged your nipple—he swore that his dick twitched. "Yeah... keep going. Are you rubbing your clit huh?"
"No..."
"Oh," he breathes, "Fucking yourself on your fingers then?"
"Y-yeah, but I can't reach deep enough," you whine.
He sucks in through his teeth. Narumi had never seen you so desperate before and awakened something primal in him.
"If that were me... you would've came minutes ago, wouldn't you?"
You nod, now wishing that it was his fingers making a mess out of you. But this was all you could get for now.
"Yeah... you're the strongest after all. You can do anything, right?"
"You fucking know it," he says almost breathlessly. Seeing that fucked out look on your face while praising him almost made him cum. But he wanted to last longer—to savor this moment which he wasn't sure if it would happen again.
"You gonna cum with me?" he asked.
He was close. Oh so painfully close. But he was a bit of a romantic in that he wanted the both of you to cum together.
You peel your back off your chair, shifting angles to coax out an orgasm and after a few moments, you do. The sensation flooded your senses, spreading warmth all throughout your body. You weren't sure if you came this hard because of having 0 action for so long or if it was because of how lewd you were with your best friend.
And as you moaned sweetly through your microphone, he let out hot ropes of cum and a breathless moan to match. He felt his abdomen cramping after unconsciously being stiff and on edge for so long.
Both of you let out labored breaths, trying to calm your racing heartbeats. It was only then your eyes met again. Though it seems like post nut clarity hit him too soon as he looked away with a bashful expression.
"Still frustrated, captain?" you teased.
He was glad you didn't call him that earlier, otherwise he would've came right on the spot. "Shut the fuck up... I am though."
"Greedy. That wasn't enough for you?"
"You mean seeing you play with yourself through a fucking monitor? Go figure."
You laugh once more and it was now mostly music to his ears. "Say—how about I visit you some time? Let me show you the real thing?"
"...Sure."
"For someone who was speaking so dirty earlier—you sure do get shy huh?"
"Don't you ever shut the fuck up?" he quips to which you laugh again.
The prospect of getting to hold you and feel you around his member was tantalizing. But for now, he'll have to deal with his cock hardening again.

do u have any hcs for what the m4 would look like in middle school? 👀👀👀
The same, just with that awful middle school flare.
Headcanon time tho bcuz I'm insane n need to explain the shit happenin here (tw for sh n sewerslide attempts. but if you follow my bs this is nothin new)
Cartman: Bro was at PEAK loudmouth n fuck everyone shit, but at this point all mfs were pretty sick of it n he got into fights on the daily. Not to say he wasn't askin for it, he actually got a big kick outta pissin people off (nothin new as we know). He was pretty much doin this bcuz he didn't really care n couldn't process a lot of shit he was feelin so he would just take it out on everyone else.
Kenny: Overworked, stressed, n not fuckin blessed. If he wasn't at school, he'd be at city wok, which he was grateful for the cash, but it took a toll on him n his schooling. He was just tryin to take care of him n Karen as he watched Kevin just get worse n worse with the people he was hangin around. Conflict at home had him stressin big time. Catch them z's whenever the fuck he could.
Kyle: Bro almost never changes appearance wise due to insecurities. The scratches on his face are from a meltdown he had where he lost complete control of his actions n started hittin n clawin at himself (managed to convince his parents it happened in his sleep bcuz no one was home when the breakdown happened). This was a rather common thing to happen, seein as normal teenage horomones, mental illness, n eds are like the worst fuckin combo.
Stan: Legit the worst time of his life, both home n mentally. Around this time where he'd get super drunk n high to try n numb out everythin, but that would only start more shit of course. He felt completely caged in n stuck in life n in this cycle of bs. One night he spiraled pretty hard n impulsively tried to hang himself with an old belt. He pretty quickly freaked out n managed to get somethin under him so he could get back out. Uhh n misc. red hair bcuz he had started dyin his hair lots of colours (but usually red) for Crimson Dawn around this time.
#asks#sp fanart#south park#stan marsh#kyle broflovski#eric cartman#kenny mccormick#my art#see i don't just project onto kyle i do it to ALL of them as well bcuz i have no life

The Au Pair Boy Part 5
Hey! This will take a short break until December then it will begin posting on Fridays to take place of The Hellfire Exotic Club.
In this we have all Robin and Steve with a little cameo of Chrissy. Steve just needed a little bestie time.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
~
Steve stared at the little black card in his hand. He had waited until he had gotten one in his name before using the account, even though Eddie had said that he was already an authorized user and the bank had been told that Steve would be using it immediately.
He just didn’t feel comfortable with doing so. So Eddie had one overnighted to him to make sure he could get whatever he needed as soon as possible. It was his first day off since Eddie left, Steve having refused to take one until he was sure the girls could handle it.
So here he was with his best friend standing outside of an Ikea with a black credit card and a dawning sense of dread.
“If I go in there,” he huffed, “I’m never coming back out again. You know that right? These places are cursed.”
Robin burst out laughing. “I think the power of your newly minted black credit card will act as a talisman of getting lost by the power of capitalism.”
“If you say so,” Steve scoffed. “If I don’t escape, I am totally blaming you, I hope you know that.”
She grabbed his arm and pulled him toward the entrance. “Come on, you big baby.”
They were looking at sheets when she spoke up again. “I think it’s really cool he’s allowing you decorate your room.”
Steve chuckled as he weighed the two options in his hands. “I think it’s because he really wants me to stay. If I put effort into my own space and get really settled in, I’ll be less likely to want to move.”
“Any spicy texts from ‘Daddy’?” Robin asked wagging her eyebrows suggestively.
“No.” He bumped her with his hip. “Knock that off. Yes, he is hot and sweet and funny, but I’m not going got cross that line. Especially not with him currently traveling the country with his metal band.”
“That’s too bad,” she pouted.
Then his phone rang. He put the dark blue sheets in the cart and the light blue ones back on the shelf and then he answered the call.
“Hey, Chrissy,” he greeted. “What’s up?”
“I hate to call you on your day off, Steve,” she began. “But Joanie can’t find her elephant plushy and she’s on the verge of a meltdown.”
Steve pinched his nose and sighed. “That’s because she insisted she wanted to bring Mr. Puff and Stuff, her wolf plushy instead. Snuffymuffie is still out the house.”
The sound of absolutely agony echoed through the phone line. Steve could almost feel her soul leaving her body from here.
“It’s on her bed with all her other plushies,” he assured her. “And when I come pick them up tomorrow I’ll bring mint ice cream.”
“I love you, Steve Harrington,” she breathed. “You are a saint among men!”
“No, just a seasoned nanny,” Steve replied with a chuckle. “Now go on before she decides that you’re ignoring her pain and starts wailing.”
Then wailing could be heard at full volume through the phone causing even Robin to wince from the sheer sound of it.
“Too late.”
Steve stared at his phone for a moment or two after she disconnected. He turned to Robin. “How is this my life now?”
“Don’t ask me,” she said with her hands up. “That couldn’t be me. I like kids in short spurts not long hauls.” She pointed to the phone in his hand with her chin. “So who was that then?”
“Chrissy Cunningham,” he replied pocketing his phone and pushing the cart forward. “She’s Eddie’s manager. Usually she goes with them when the band tours, but for the first little bit he wanted someone who the girls knew close on hand.”
“So why didn’t she take the kiddos?” Robin said, falling instep next to him.
“Because she still works,” Steve said. “So she can’t watch them during the day. Plus, Eddie had been wanting to get a live-in nanny for awhile. So this solved both problems.”
“Do you miss it?” Robin asked. “Having your own space?”
Steve wasn’t sure what she meant. He had his own space and told her so. That was what they were shopping for after all. Decorating his space.
“I meant an apartment of your own,” she said a little exasperated. “Like you really don’t have any freedom. It’s not like you can paint it all pink with white fruit everywhere.”
“I could actually,” Steve said with a shrug. “Though the example Eddie used was neon orange with brightly color rainbow dicks everywhere.”
Robin blinked at him for a moment. “But what if the girls saw that?”
“It would probably be explained as a banana and a couple of peaches or whatever,” Steve said, waving her off. “But that’s not the point. The point is that if I wanted to buy a racing car bed and make everything chrome, I could. I just don’t want to. It’s a gorgeous room, I want to add to it, not make it into a hellscape or whatever.”
“So what’s with all the nautical stuff, then?” she asked picking up the back of fake seashells.
“It’s very dark wood and deep blues,” he explained snatching them back from her tossing them back into the cart. “I makes me feel like I’m sailing on the ocean. But I also want to give it a haunted vibe, too. To go with the rest of the house.”
“I’m really going to have to see this place,” she huffed.
Steve stared at her for a moment. “I thought that was the plan. I thought you were coming over after we were done shopping to help me set everything up.”
“I wasn’t sure I was allowed to be there when it was just you,” she said with a half shrug.
“I’m allowed to have friends over,” he replied, rolling his eyes. “If I break anything, he just asks that I let him know. He’s got four year old twins, like I’m pretty sure anything fragile or expensive was put away a long time ago.”
Robin blinked for a moment as she processed that thought. “Right. What was I thinking?”
“You weren’t,” Steve huffed. “Now come on there are ten million miles to get through and I would like get through this before I die of old age.”
She scoffed but let him lead her through the store as he asked for her opinion on some things and to get her to mock others.
By the time they reached the check out, their cart was overflowing with all sorts of fun things for his room. Or rather, as Steve had learned. Wing. An entire fucking wing of the house was his. It had his bedroom, the bathroom, a small sitting room/library, and fucking kitchenette for entertaining guests.
He paid with the card Eddie had given him, both Robin and the cashier’s eyes went wide.
The cashier kinda gave him the stink-eye, like ‘what are you doing in an I-fucking-kea with a card like that?’ But Steve steadfastly ignored her and grabbed his packages.
“Why did we go to Ikea?” Robin asked as she helped load up his car with the stuff he bought.
“Because what I wanted was here,” Steve said rolling his eyes. “More expensive doesn’t equal better quality.” He slammed the trunk closed and got into the driver’s seat.
She rolled her eyes back at him, but wisely said nothing. He was the one with the ultra credit card and she wanted nachos from her favorite Mexican restaurant, something she would not get if she pushed Steve too far with the card. She could tell he was uncomfortable having it, so it was sure bet Eddie had insisted.
When they got to the house, Robin was in awe. She could see why Steve had fallen in love with the place. It gave off that tastefully haunted vibe of the Addams Family. Inside was even cooler as Steve showed her around. The only places they didn’t go were the Munsons’ bedrooms and Eddie’s studio and office.
But Robin was okay with that when she saw the game room, and the movie theater and the swimming pool and the actual fucking library. Here was a guy who took his money and put it to tasteful use.
“This is really neat,” she said as she flopped on the sofa in Steve’s study. “And this all yours?”
“Until they get old enough not to need me,” Steve said with a shrug. He began putting things away on the shelves. “Which is probably at least ten years off, maybe more if I’m really lucky.”
“Here’s to that,” Robin said, impressed. “Is he looking for another nanny? Because damn, I’d love a sweet place like this.”
“No,” Steve said and smacked her with his dust rag. “Get up on your feet and help me Missy!”
She leapt to her feet to get away from the dusty rag. “I surrender! I surrender!” She opened the first box and got to work sort things into proper piles so Steve could them away as he went.
“He’s looking for almost everything else though,” Steve said as he put books on the shelves. “Like everything else. A gardener or two, a couple of grounds maintenance guys, a cook, a pool cleaner, a couple of maids. All that sort of stuff.”
“Wow,” Robin said, opening another box, “that’s pretty much everyone. What happen, he fire everyone at once?”
Beat.
“Wait, what?” she said, whipping her head up to look at him. He was looking at the floor biting his lip. “What happened?”
“His ex slept with everyone on the staff who would let him,” Steve mumbled, “and those he didn’t sleep with kept it from him. With having no one trust, he just got rid of all of them.”
“Holy shit,” Robin hissed. “Way to upend the kiddos’ entire lives.”
“Ethan or Eddie?” Steve said with a shrug and grabbed the nearest pile of books to start shelving.
“Oh, totally the ex,” Robin hissed, “what an asshole. And the fact that all of them colluded to keep it from Eddie? That’s the major dick move. How long has he been struggling to do it all on his own?”
“About a year,” Steve replied absently as he tried to decide whether or not ‘Good Omens’ would go under G for Gaiman or P for Pratchett. He decided on Pratchett since it was the name on top. “I think his friends staged an intervention a la reunion tour to force him to move forward with his life.”
She snorted and shook her head. “Men. I am so glad I’m not attracted to them. Emotionally stunted morons. Well most of them anyway.”
“Anyone can get overwhelmed, Robs,” he huffed picking up his last stack of books. “I’ve gotten a few prospects for the yard and swimming pool.”
“Yeah, I was noticing how overgrown everything was,” she agreed, “even if the vibe was haunted house.”
Steve sighed and plopped down next to her. “I didn’t even show you what the gardener’s shed looked like or the pool house. He really let everything go in his grief. He didn’t say anything to me, but you can tell he took the break up really hard. This was his person. The one he thought he was going to spend the rest of his life with. And then Ethan went and blew it all up with no explanation, just a gigantic mess to clean up.”
“Well, I’m glad he has you,” she said bumping him with her shoulder. “And I was only joking about the being hired too. As long as I get to visit this place and hang out by the pool on occasion, I’ll consider it even.” She held out her hand and Steve took it with a smile.
“I think we’re all done in here,” he said standing up and dusting off his knees. “Bedroom is next.”
Robin got up and looked around his little study. “I’m happy for you, Steve. I think you’re going to be really happy here.”
Steve smiled. “I already am. I know it’s only been a week since Eddie left and ten days since I was hired, but I really don’t want to screw this up.”
She hugged him tight. If anyone deserved a fairy tale ending it was her platonic soulmate. Now all she had to do was convince him to get flirty with the hot frontman of Corroded Coffin and her boy would be set for life.
They walked into the bedroom and got to decorating it. When they were done, she flopped down on the queen size bed, spread eagle.
“We should order in and watch horror movies on that massive screen,” she suggested, staring up at the ceiling.
Steve cocked his head to the side and tapped his lips thoughtfully. “Make it pizza and you’ve got yourself a deal.”
“Fine!” she huffed, seeing her dreams of loaded nachos flutter away.
He kicked her foot, causing her to sit up abruptly. “Buy your own nachos, you big baby. You have a job. Or at least you did yesterday, so unless there is something you’d like to tell me you can get your own.”
“You’re a real bitch, Steve Harrington,” she huffed, hopping off the bed. “Tell me again why I like you?”
“Because you get to watch Jamie Lee Curtis in full high definition projection,” he said, giving her a kiss on the cheek and then walked out of the room.
“Wait!” she huffed, scrambling to catch up. “He has the original ‘Halloween’? You can’t just drop that on me and run, Harrington!”
Steve giggled as he ran down the stairs, with Robin hot on his heels. He cut a corner tightly, causing her to careen into the opposite wall.
“Curse you and your jock reflexes!” she hissed as she pushed herself off the wall to continue her chase.
By the time she had caught up with him, he was already on the phone with the pizza place. “At least get something with vegetables! You don’t want scurvy!”
“And one medium raspberry lemonade and one large cherry limeade,” he said with a wink at her. “Yes that will be all.”
“All that sugar!” Robin huffed. “I don’t know how you don’t kill over from sugar shock or something with all the sweet stuff you eat and drink.”
“Because I exercise and eat right most of the time,” Steve said back. “Diet culture is such BS, your body needs sugar to function. It’s why I put it in my tomato sauce when I make it from scratch.”
“Betrayal!” she cried and flopped on the sofa. She tilted her head for a moment and then melted into said sofa. “This is a really soft sofa, Steve. Everything here is so soft. I don’t know why but I pictured everything being so hard and stiff and uncomfortable.”
“Eddie certainly isn’t your stereotypical rich guy,” Steve agreed. “And I think this place was soft before the girls, because I think Eddie likes soft.”
Robin looked at her best friend fondly. She could tell he was already in love with this Eddie, he was just very deep in denial.
They had their movie night complete with pizza and drinks. One of the pizzas even had vegetables on it. For her. And when Steve dropped her off the next morning, she was content in her knowledge Steve wasn’t just going to do well there, he was going to thrive.

— EVEN CALM ONES HAVE MELTDOWNS ! akaashi keiji
syn : as you two were supposed to go on a date, he got an unexpected meltdown
wc : 1k
tw : none just comfort and pure fluff
You were excited for your movie date with Akaashi, having planned it for days. As you made your way to his house, you couldn't help but smile, thinking about the cozy evening ahead.
Meanwhile, Akaashi was struggling through one of his worst days. Overwhelmed by emotions and anxiety, he found himself in the midst of a meltdown he couldn't control. He had never opened up about these episodes before, always managing to keep them hidden from you and others.
Today, however, was different. The intensity of his distress made him forget about your plans entirely. He hadn't messaged you to cancel or reschedule, lost in his own world of panic and inner turmoil.
As you approached his front door, Akaashi was curled up on his living room floor, hands gripping his hair, trying desperately to regain some semblance of calm. The sound of the doorbell pierced through his clouded mind, causing him to freeze.
Unaware of the situation inside, you waited patiently, wondering why Akaashi was taking so long to answer. Little did you know, you were about to witness a side of him he had never intended to share, at least not like this.
The inevitable confrontation loomed as Akaashi, still shaking, slowly made his way to the door. He knew he couldn't hide anymore, and a mix of fear and shame washed over him as he reached for the handle, about to reveal his vulnerable state to you for the first time.
As Akaashi opened the door, your smile quickly faded. His disheveled appearance and tear-stained face immediately set off alarm bells in your mind.
"Akaashi?" you asked softly, concern evident in your voice. "What's wrong?"
He couldn't meet your eyes, his body trembling slightly. Without thinking, you stepped inside and gently closed the door behind you.
"I'm... I'm sorry," Akaashi whispered, his voice cracking. "I didn't mean for you to see me like this."
Instinctively, you reached out to him, placing a comforting hand on his arm. "It's okay, baby. Can you tell me what's happening?"
Akaashi's breath hitched as he struggled to explain. "I... I sometimes have these... meltdowns. I've never told anyone. I'm so sorry."
Your heart ached seeing him in such distress. Carefully, you guided him to the living room couch, sitting down beside him.
"You don't need to apologize," you assured him. "I'm here for you. What can I do to help?"
Akaashi's eyes widened in surprise at your calm reaction. Slowly, he began to open up about his struggles, his breathing gradually steadying as you listened without judgment.
As he spoke, you gently took his hand in yours, offering silent support.
As you sat together on the couch, Akaashi's trembling slowly subsided. He took a deep breath, his fingers intertwining with yours.
"It's... it's the volleyball championships," he finally admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "The pressure has been building for weeks. Everyone's counting on me to lead the team, to make the perfect sets. I can't stop thinking about all the ways I could let them down."
You listened intently, your thumb gently stroking the back of his hand. "That sounds incredibly stressful," you said softly. "It's a lot of responsibility to carry."
Akaashi nodded, his eyes still downcast. "I've been having nightmares about missing crucial plays, about disappointing my teammates, Kotaro. It's like I can't escape it, even when I'm awake."
Sensing his need for comfort, you carefully opened your arms. "Is it okay if I hold you?" you asked.
He nodded, almost imperceptibly, and you gently pulled him into an embrace. Akaashi's body was tense at first, but as you held him, he gradually relaxed against you.
"You don't have to face this alone," you murmured, running your fingers soothingly through his hair. "Your team trusts you because of your skills and dedication. It's okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes."
As you continued to hold him, Akaashi's breathing deepened and steadied. The warmth of your embrace seemed to provide a sanctuary from the storm of his anxieties.
"Thank you," he whispered after a while, his voice muffled against your shoulder. "For being here, for understanding."
I apologize for the confusion. You're right, Akaashi is indeed the guy in this scenario. Let me adjust the dialogue to reflect that:
As you held each other, the tension in the room gradually began to dissipate. Akaashi's breathing had steadied, and you could feel him becoming more relaxed in your arms.
After a while, you gently pulled back to look at him, a soft smile playing on your lips. "You know," you said, your tone lighter, "if you wanted to skip our movie date, you could have just said so. No need for all this drama."
Akaashi blinked at you in surprise before a small chuckle escaped him. "Oh yes, because having a meltdown is so much easier than just texting you."
You grinned, happy to see a hint of his usual dry humor returning. "Well, you always have been one for the theatrical. Remember when you 'accidentally' set the ball into my hands just to hold them?"
Akaashi's cheeks flushed slightly, but he was smiling now. "I have no idea what you're talking about," he said, feigning innocence.
You laughed, poking his side playfully. "Sure, Mr. 'Oh, my aim was off, how clumsy of me.'"
He swatted your hand away, but there was no heat in the gesture. "If I recall correctly, you were more than happy to catch that ball."
"What can I say? I'm a sucker for a smooth setter," you teased, earning you an eye roll from Akaashi.
As your laughter subsided, Akaashi's expression softened. He reached out, gently tucking a strand of hair behind your ear. "Thank you," he said quietly. "For everything."
You leaned into his touch, your eyes meeting his. "Always," you replied simply. "Now, what do you say we order some takeout and have that movie night after all?"
Akaashi nodded, a genuine smile spreading across his face. "That sounds perfect."
As you both settled in for the evening, the earlier distress seemed to fade away, replaced by the warmth of understanding and the comfort of each other's company.

Vice President Kamala Harris walked onto the ABC News debate stage with a mission: trigger a Trump meltdown.
She succeeded.
Former President Donald Trump had a mission too: control yourself.
He failed.
Trump lost his cool over and over. Goaded by predictable provocations, he succumbed again and again.
Trump was pushed into broken-sentence monologues—and even an all-out attack on the 2020 election outcome. He repeated crazy stories about immigrants eating cats and dogs, and was backwards-looking, personal, emotional, defensive, and frequently incomprehensible.
Harris hit pain point after pain point: Trump’s bankruptcies, the disdain of generals who had served with him, the boredom and early exits of crowds at his shrinking rallies. Every hit was followed by an ouch. Trump’s counterpunches flailed and missed. Harris met them with smiling mockery and cool amusement. The debate was often a battle of eyelids: Harris’s opened wide, Trump’s squinting and tightening.
Harris’s debate prep seemed to have concentrated on psychology as much as on policy. She drove Trump and trapped him and baited him—and it worked every time.
Trump exited the stage leaving uncertain voters still uncertain about whether or not he’d sign a national abortion ban. He left them certain that he did not want Ukraine to win its war of self-defense. He accused Harris of hating Israel but then never bothered to say any words of his own in support of the Jewish state’s war of self-defense against Hamas terrorism. In his confusion and reactiveness, he seemed to have forgotten any debate strategy he might have had.
Something every woman watching the debate probably noticed: Trump could not bring himself to say the name of the serving vice president, his opponent for the presidency. For him, Harris was just a pronoun: a nameless, identity-less “she,” “her,” “you.” It’s said that narcissists cope with ego injury by refusing to acknowledge the existence of the person who inflicted the hurt. If so, that might explain Trump’s behavior. Harris bruised his feelings, and Trump reacted by shutting his eyes and pretending that Harris had no existence of her own independent of President Joe Biden, whose name Trump was somehow able to speak.
Hemmed, harried, and humiliated, Trump lost his footing and his grip. He never got around to making an affirmative case for himself. If any viewer was nostalgic for the early Trump economy before its collapse in his final year in office, that viewer must have been disappointed. If a viewer wanted a conservative policy message, any conservative policy message, that viewer must have been disappointed. When asked whether he had yet developed a health-care plan after a decade in politics, Trump could reply only that he had “concepts of a plan.”
Almost from the start, Harris was in control. She had better moments and worse ones, but she was human where Trump was feral. She had warm words for political opponents such as John McCain and Dick Cheney; Trump had warm words for nobody other than Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian strongman whom Trump praised for praising Trump. It was an all-points beatdown, and no less a beating because Trump inflicted so much of it on himself.
At a minimum, this display will put an end to the Trump claim that Harris is a witless nonentity unqualified to engage in debate. Harris met Trump face-to-face before tens of millions of witnesses. She dominated and crushed him, using as her principal tools her self-command and her shrewd insight into the ex-president’s psychic, moral, and intellectual weaknesses.
Will it matter that Harris so decisively won? How can it not? But it may matter more that Trump so abjectly lost to a competitor for whom he could not utter a syllable of respect.

A Different Kind of Miracle

Jackson was the kind of place that made Joel uneasy. The sense of safety, the quiet that settled over the town at night, it was almost unnatural. He had grown too accustomed to danger lurking in every corner, too used to living with his guard up, waiting for the next threat. But here, in this community, there was peace—a foreign concept after two decades of nothing but violence, death, and loss.
At first, he didn’t know what to do with it. He wasn’t sure if he deserved it, honestly. But then, you came along. And with you, came the greatest miracle of his life—a little girl, his daughter.
Joel had never imagined being a father again. Hell, he hadn’t even wanted to be. Losing Sarah had gutted him, left him a shell of a man who had given up on the idea of family, of love. But then you’d walked into his life, unexpected and undeniable, and before he knew it, the two of you had a daughter. It was like the world had found a way to give him a second chance, something he never thought he’d get.
At first, Joel was terrified. He was older now, more worn down by the world, but you’d reassured him. Together, you’d raise her. Together, you’d be the family he thought he’d lost forever.
She was his little miracle. But lately, Joel found himself… confused. Worried, even. She wasn’t like other kids. At first, he didn’t think much of it—every kid was different, after all. But as she got older, there were little things he couldn’t ignore anymore. She rarely looked him in the eye, didn’t babble like Ellie or the other kids her age. Sometimes, she’d play alone for hours, completely immersed in whatever world she’d created for herself, but if he tried to change her routine, she’d fall apart. Meltdowns that he didn’t understand would follow—her little body shaking as she screamed, inconsolable.
He hated it. Not her, never her, but the helplessness he felt every time it happened. He was used to fixing things, solving problems with his hands, with action. But this? He didn’t even know what it was, let alone how to fix it.
It was a cold morning when you first brought it up, sitting on the porch outside your little house in Jackson, your daughter playing quietly in the yard. She was lining up her toy blocks in neat, perfect rows, just as she always did. Joel watched her, sipping from his coffee mug, his face set in that familiar frown.
“Joel,” you said softly, your voice careful. “Have you… noticed anything with her? I mean, I know you have, but I mean… more than just being quiet?”
He grunted, not taking his eyes off your daughter. “She’s just a kid. They’re all different. She’ll grow out of it.”
You sighed, placing your hand on his. “I don’t think she will. I’ve been reading about… autism. I think that might be what’s going on.”
Joel’s brow furrowed, and he turned to look at you, his expression hard to read. “Autism? What the hell’s that got to do with her? She’s fine. She’s just—she’s just young. All kids act weird.”
You shook your head, your eyes gentle but firm. “It’s more than that, Joel. The meltdowns, the way she lines things up, how she doesn’t respond to her name half the time. I think she’s struggling, and we need to help her. But first, we need to understand what’s going on.”
He pulled his hand away, rubbing his face in frustration. “I don’t know, alright? I’ve been through a lot of shit, but I don’t know anything about this. This is… I don’t know what to do with this, alright? I can’t fix it.”
You reached for his hand again, and this time, he didn’t pull away. “Joel, she doesn’t need fixing. She’s perfect just the way she is. But she does need us to see her, to understand her. And you know what? We’ll figure it out together. We don’t have to do it alone.”
Joel let out a long breath, his shoulders slumping. He wasn’t used to feeling like this, like there was something he couldn’t control. He hated it. But he couldn’t argue with you either. He trusted you, more than anyone in this world, and if you thought something was going on, then maybe… maybe you were right.
That night, Joel lay awake in bed, staring up at the ceiling, your soft breathing beside him the only sound in the room. His mind raced, thoughts swirling around his daughter, around the word you’d said—autism. It wasn’t something he understood. Hell, he hadn’t even heard of it before the outbreak, and back then, his world had been so small, revolving around work and raising Sarah. He hadn’t thought much about things like that.
But now, it was different. He had to understand, because this was his little girl, his miracle, and he’d be damned if he let her struggle without doing everything in his power to help her.
---------------------------------
The days turned into weeks, and Joel found himself paying more attention to the things he hadn’t noticed before. He saw the way she flinched at loud noises, the way she covered her ears when there were too many people around. He saw the way she fixated on certain toys or routines, how any deviation sent her spiraling into a meltdown that left her exhausted and him feeling helpless.
But he also saw the little things. The way she smiled, just for a moment, when she was lost in her own world. The way her tiny hands carefully placed each block in a perfect line, her focus so intense it almost made him laugh. She was so different from anyone he’d ever known, but she was also so her—beautiful, smart, and his.
One evening, after a particularly rough day of trying to get her to wear a new pair of shoes, Joel sat on the porch, his head in his hands. The frustration had gotten the better of him, and for a moment, he’d snapped, raising his voice in a way that made her cry. He hated himself for it, hated the look of fear in her eyes, the way she’d flinched when he yelled.
“I don’t know what to do,” he muttered as you sat down beside him, rubbing his back gently. “I don’t know how to help her.”
You rested your head on his shoulder, your voice soft and understanding. “It’s okay, Joel. It’s hard. But you’re doing your best, and that’s what matters. She knows you love her. We’ll figure it out, one step at a time.”
Joel closed his eyes, the weight of everything pressing down on him. But then, from inside the house, he heard a small voice.
“Daddy?”
It was soft, almost hesitant, but it was there. His heart leapt into his throat, and he stood up, walking into the living room where his daughter stood, her blocks in her hands. She looked up at him, her big brown eyes full of uncertainty, but there was something else there, too—something he hadn’t seen before.
“What is it, baby girl?” he asked, his voice as gentle as he could manage.
She didn’t answer right away, but she held out a block, offering it to him. It was such a small gesture, but to Joel, it felt like the world shifted. She was reaching out to him, in her own way, trying to connect.
He knelt down, taking the block from her hand. “Thank you,” he said, his voice thick with emotion. “That’s a good one.”
For a moment, she smiled, just a little, before turning back to her toys. Joel stayed there, on the floor, watching her, his heart swelling with a mix of love and pain. She was different, yes. But she was also perfect.
That night, as he lay in bed beside you, he whispered into the quiet, “I’ll learn. I’ll figure out how to be the dad she needs.”
You smiled in the darkness, your hand finding his. “You already are.”
---------------------------------
The weeks and months that followed weren’t easy. There were still moments of frustration, of helplessness, but Joel found himself changing. He learned to meet his daughter where she was, to understand her needs instead of trying to fit her into a mold she didn’t belong in. He learned to listen, not just with his ears, but with his heart. And slowly, bit by bit, he saw her blossom.
One day, as the two of them sat together on the porch, Joel handed her one of her favorite toys, a small wooden horse. She took it, studying it carefully before turning to him with a small, soft smile.
“Thank you, Daddy.”
And just like that, everything was worth it. Every struggle, every moment of doubt—it all faded away in the face of that simple, precious moment.
Joel Miller had spent his whole life fighting, surviving. But now, with his little girl in his arms, he realized that this—this was what he had been fighting for all along.
A different kind of miracle.

you mentioned in the tags of that burnout post that its been 6 years and you still havent gotten to everything you wanted to in laoft, just out of curiosity are there any fics youve had in mind since the beginning/early on that youre still planning on writing but havent yet?
mostly prequels ive referenced but never gotten around to actually writing
the time as young teens/middle schoolers roman fell out of tree, hit his head and lost consciousness and logan had a week-long catastrophic meltdown about it (this is titled 'logan and the terrible horrible no good very bad week' in my documents)
a fic about very early LAMP dealing with/talking out romans habit of agreeing to or initiating things he doesnt actually want to do in order to protect himself from anything he perceives as them being mad at him
midquel during what you choose to put in the ground, were patton and logan discuss roman the day after meeting him and whether or not theyre going to try and be his friend
Virgil misunderstanding a human cultural thing because of movies/tv and assuming its like, Legally Required Of Him to ask permission of LMPs parents to marry them, so he goes to shelley first sweating bullets and shelleys like 'oh sweetheart' and we get a little bonding moment for them
more companions to Wit where i show all of the lamp combos moment of Realization when they fall in love
silly tea leaf reading fic that been languishing 3 sentences long for like 5 years
may and night!roman the first time she teaches him magic
logans flower shop opening
death threat jar.... TWO
gc goes camping
may and roman visiting abby's grave when he's a kid (9-10) and him feeling conflicted about it because he doesnt remember her/worrying he doesnt love her 'enough'
a more bittersweet companion to Requiem with Linda and Remus and their families
i really want to do more guidebook entries but i got a new computer and lost my copy of clipstudio and cant figure out how to get it back XD so i have to wait until i figure that out or buy a new copy
May + virgil hurt/comfort reminiscing about Greta and Trudi.
Dot and Larry romance fic featuring alternating cheerleader and heckler abby
analogical word association games (analogical because logan has a ginormous vocabulay and virgil is hundreds of years old, so the goal winds up being trying to say a word the other doesnt know or doesnt know enough words to play off of)
We've had badass protective LAM but i have one for Patton thats languishing as well
Virgil stumbling up on the Gage's hunting blind, which used to be Greta and Toby's house and is now derelict
fae specific idioms vs wickhills specific idioms
fire poker drama with roman and dot - he finds out about it and is uuuuuh. unhappy, to say the least
roman doing knot/weaving/braiding magic like his mom on his and linda's hair
a day in the life of dr. emile picani the only psychotherapist in a town full of magically traumatized people only he is qualified to treat (AKA So Much Pressure)
Dot and Larry with a very young Logan realizing that they have a child who physically can't lie and that it would therefore be extremely easy for them to violate his boundaries and privacy without even meaning to, and them talking about how to handle that
theres other stuff in the someday file, but these are the once ive had from or almost from the start

Hi!! Do you write hcs? If not could you do a mix of all four (bill, gustav, georg, and Tom) or whichever member you choose with an s/o that has sensory issues/undiagnosed autism and goes into a kind of break down state. Just lots of fluff, I mean like, TOOTH ROTTING fluff.
(Again, only if ur comfy with it but I feel like itd be a good fluff type trope)
Keep up the good work💕💕
ᡣ𐭩 tokio hotel w s/o who has sensory issues
i love this request!! i decided to do all the members so gustav and georg can get some recognition. tried my best i hope it’s as accurate as possible, love u mwah😘
headcannons down below!
bill
didn’t even have to say anything, immediately knew what to do
knows due to his immense amount of time on the internet, spent time doing his research as soon as you brought it up to him
wanted to ensure that he was totally prepared to help his s/o because he loved you so much
left the room and came back to put your headphones on your head softly, playing one of your favourite songs
all you could hear now was the music
left the to give you some space and isolate you to cool down on your own time
after he noticed the room went silent came in to check on you with a glass of water
doesn’t speak until you do, then he speaks to you in soft quiet tone
“hey my love, i got you a glass of water, drink this hm?”
tom
panicked, but knew that in such a case would be no help
started muttering shit under his breath because he didn’t know how to help you and it killed him
for some reason knew to give you one of his sweaters
it was one of his sweaters that was your favourite, because of it’s thickness and heavy weighted feeling that it had on
finding comfort in the sweater, you snuggled into it, also relieving yourself at the scent of the cloth that was his
stayed in the room, but at a distance because he wanted to keep his eye on you
once you cooled down, walked closer to you and reached a hand out
waited until you took his hand and started caressing it softly
“oh baby, do you need anything? just let me know.”
gustav
the two of you were hanging out with the other guys until bill and tom were being too loud
saw that you begin to panic silently, the emotions intensifying every minute
“come on, he said to you softly as he followed
brought you to the bathroom in the house far away from the living room the all of you were once in
turned off the already on lights in the bathroom and gently shut the door behind you, the dim sunlight being the only source of light provided
once done, you opened the bathroom door to find him sitting on the floor against the wall beside you
seemed to have almost dozed off, you feel bad that you had him wait here instead of letting him spend time with his friends
“i enjoy your company much more than theirs, they’re so loud!”
totally made the twins apologize to you
georg
the two of you were just chilling on the couch, however there was an unknown source of noise that was bothering you
you expressed your concern to georg about this noise and instead of shutting you down was very much concerned
the two of you together went around the house to look for the noise, to no avail, could not find anything
immediately began to panic as tears filled your eyes
georg led you to sit back down on the couch, distancing himself from you more in comparison to when you were on the couch before
learnt that breathing exercises typically helped during your meltdowns
stared at you attentively and throughout all spoke to you in a calm soft manner
communicating throughout, was able to get you to calm down, he never lost his patience once and was so relieved to know you are now okay
“deep breaths beautiful, take your time, i’m here okay?”

The story basically is just Tenzin trying to get her forgiveness, and lin being "Would you be here knealing if I wasn't pregnant?" I want it to hurt ok🥰
Hello! Here is my attempt at a painful cryptic pregnancy Linzin. I hope this is what you were looking for.
It was that damned healer. That waterbending, icy bitch of a woman- who told her that she was done for couldn't have been more wrong. Lin should've gone to Katara. Spirits, she should have seen Kya instead.
Because now there she was, dismembered in a way she never thought her crime-fighting days could land her. Thankfully, every part of her body was still intact. What she was losing now was nothing she was born with.
The bathroom floor was bright red. Her vision kept shifting from black to red and back.
She only allowed herself to give in to the darkness when she felt the door to her house fling open from under her feet. Someone had entered her home. Someone was looking for her. Someone was going to find her. Someone was going to save both of them.
For the first time, Lin felt pain in her body like never before. This hurt far more than breaking a rib or getting stabbed in the thigh. Her emotions were unfathomable. To think she felt grief for something she never knew she had.
Her entire life would've been upside down had she known this whole time.
"What? A cryptic pregnancy...,"
"Will she be- will they both be—"
"Lin didn't know! She couldn't have known!"
"If you would please just let me see her..."
Lin was in an out of consciousness for what felt like days. Really, it had only been a few hours but it felt like a whole lifetime went by. She couldn't work out whose voices they were. It all felt like she had voices inside her head.
Sleep took over once again. This time it was quiet, dark and numb, like in a vacuum.
The first thing Lin realized was that she could feel her eyelids on her eyes. Her hand twitched, reminding herself that her body was whole. She was still very much there. Her toes wiggled in response. Slowly her fingers contracted, and she forced her eyes open.
She saw more red. This time accompanied with yellow.
What was he doing here? Who let him in? Don't people know better? She didn't destroy Air Temple Island for nothing after all, did she? Some destruction her meltdown had caused. That was the only time she lost control of her bending. Her emotions were volcanic- they had consumed her being, soul and body, and exploded all over the Island.
How was Tenzin both the only and the last person she wanted to see?
“Lin!” He cried, almost to himself.
Lin stirred slowly. She suddenly remembered why her body wasn’t moving earlier. Everything hurt.
“Hey, hey slow down,”
He had leapt off his seat to stand beside her, one hand on her shoulder to stay her movements.
“What are you doing here?” She asked through gritted teeth, pushing all the pain to the back of her mind.
“We almost lost you. I couldn’t—”
“As far as you’re concerned, consider me lost.”
“Lin, she’s alive,” he whispered over her. His shaky hands captured her palm and brought it up to kiss her knuckles.
Lin lost her voice too. There was a lump in her throat now. There was no admission needed, a wave of acceptance came over her.
Motherhood.
Tenzin’s kisses were wet on her hand. When her eyes shifted to him, she saw tears rolling down his face.
“Where- where is—” she managed to croak out.
“In the other room,” he replied, gesturing to the left. “The chief healer is there, caring for both of you. The baby is healthy and happy. And she looks just like you. Just as beautiful. She’s got jet black hair and your eyes and-and—”
“Tenzin, stop.”
The airbender gaped at her.
“You don’t get to be a part of this. You don’t get to just walk in here and take what you want. That’s my child.”
“That’s our child.”
“There is no our because there is no us, Tenzin. That’s my child and—”
“And that’s also my child.”
“How do you know she’s yours?”
He was spellbound. The most joyous moment of his life had reduced to a pit in his stomach. But he knew better. She was saying that just to hurt him. When he peered into that child's eyes, he knew she was his.
“Lin, come on. Please don’t say that.”
But she continued to glare daggers at him.
Just then, hearing the voices, the very chief healer entered the room. She was an old woman, one of the few who were trained by Katara personally. Where was she when she stopped bleeding all those months go? “Oh, look. Mom is awake.”
Lin offered her a weak smile.
“Your little girl is a fighter,” she said, walking over to Lin's bed. “She's a stubborn one- the girl was determined to live.”
Lin audibly masked a sniffle, but Tenzin caught it.
“She gets that from her mother,” he said with a smile.
“Oh, we’re well aware. Captain Beifong, you fought through too. Valiantly, so. If it were up to me, this ordeal alone should make you Chief.”
“Can I see my baby?” Lin asked.
The woman nodded happily, pushing Lin's hair behind her ear affectionately before stepping out of the room.
They swiftly turned to look at each other. “I’m sorry, Lin. I’m so sorry.”
Lin bit back tears by biting her cheek.
“You don’t- you don’t get to…” she whispered, shaking her head in denial.
“We can work this out. We never should’ve ended things.”
“You’re not even in love with me…” Her voice was hoarse.
“Lin, I’m crazy about you. You and only you. And now that mini-you you just brought into this world.”
“What about your soulmate?”
Tenzin slapped his forehead. “The acolyte? She’s so far driven from reality, she wouldn’t know a soul from a chair.”
Lin almost let herself chuckle with relief. But she didn't. She couldn't just laugh off the thing that Tenzin allowed to weaponize against their relationship.
“No,” she said. “No, you can’t- I’m vulnerable right now. You can’t snake your way back into my life. If it wasn’t for my pregnancy- if it wasn’t for nearly losing your child, you wouldn’t have even been here. You would be with your soulless chair mate on your cold, lifeless Island. You’re dead to me, Tenzin.”
“Lin, of course, I would. I would always be there for you. Please—”
“You value your legacy far more than you’ve ever loved me. I kept putting your first and you kept making me fight for footnotes in your life.”
“That is not true!”
“Oh, but it is!”
“Lin, I have always been in love with you. I can't remember a time in my life when I haven't loved you, truly.”
“Then why would you leave me for her? Why when I had just found out that I couldn't bear you the airbenders you so wanted. The unborn children you put before me, a whole person you claim to be so in love with.”
“I was wrong. I was so very wrong," he cried, head in his hands. "I didn't know you couldn't have children. You pushed me into Pema's arms—”
“Don't you utter her name!”
Tenzin sighed. “You told me to be with her. That she would give me my airbenders. I only did that to free you from my burdens. You didn't deserve to—”
The door creaked open again, the same healer returning with their child in her arms. The two of them fell silent immediately.
“Here, Lin. Do you want to hold her?” The healer asked.
Lin’s sniffle was enough of a response.
As she cradled her arms- as best as she knew anyway- the healer slowly placed the baby in her mother's embrace. She was so little- so much smaller than Lin imagined. She could no longer hold back her tears.
She felt Tenzin’s hand on her shoulder.
“She’s perfect,” he whispered.
“She is,” Lin replied, feeling placated like never before. She eased up. Her mind was no longer clouded- clarity had taken over. “I can’t believe we created that.”
“I can,” he replied, kissing her head.
“Don’t make me ask you to leave,” she said, curtly.
“I’m never leaving, Lin.”
She huffed, side eyeing him as she prepared herself for what she was about to say. She felt certain about her decision.
“You’re leaving, Tenzin. I will allow you to be a part of my daughter’s life so long as you vow to stay out of mine.”
Tenzin watched her, heart beating faster in his chest, as she glared at him with storms in her eyes. He didn’t have the words to respond.
“You stay on your Island and I stay in my city. We only have our exchanges on the ferry. I will not step foot onto Air Temple Island and if you so much as even breathe Republic City’s air, I will arrest you and have you sent to the Dai Li’s prison in Ba Sing Se.”
“Lin, that can’t be sustainable—”
“I don’t care what you think.”
Lin pressed her baby into her bosom. Nothing mattered anymore. Her entire life would be dedicated to protecting this baby.
Tenzin would do the same, she trusted him that much. He would be a good father to her. She would have to find a way to be okay with that acolyte being a part of her daughter's life. But perhaps, that would happen with time.
“I love you. And I respect your wishes. But can you grant me just this one thing?”
“What is it?”
“Can we have one moment? Just a single moment where we, as her parents, hold her together with love. If I am to leave you alone, I just need a glimpse of what might’ve been to keep me going.”
Lin sighed.
“Let’s- let’s name her,” he suggested, realizing that he was babbling. “Together. Right now. That’s all.”
“Sure,” she gave out a low huff of defeat.
Lin shifted on the bed as Tenzin took a seat beside her. He placed one hand under Lin’s, supporting their daughter’s head while his other arm ran around her waist. He squeezed her into his embrace and as much as she wanted to fight it, she gave in and rested her head against his chest. It felt right. As if the entire universe conspired to allow her just this one moment. Even if it wasn't made to last.
“How do you like the name Dalha?”
Lin scrunched her nose in disgust. She kissed her daughter’s head, making her coo in a way that made Lin’s heart flutter.
“What about Meng?”
“No,” Lin replied with a gasp. A yawn escaped her mouth urging Tenzin to pull her tighter.
“Jin?”
Lin gave her baby a cheeky a smile and said, “Don’t worry, kid. I won’t let your daddy name you anything as unsavory like that.”
“Well, daddy is trying. Mommy hasn’t made a single contribution.”
Lin huffed. “How about Lila?”
“I love that name. Lila Beifong. We could call her Lili too!” Tenzin glanced over at Lin only to find her looking straight at him. There was a softness in her eyes. He cupped her face with one hand and drew her in. His lips slowly met hers. It had been far too long since he had kissed her. Lin melted against his touch- she was exhausted. She just needed to be held, to feel loved- if only for a moment.
Tenzin continued kissing her, smiling, making the most of the moment with the mother of his child- the only woman he wanted to kiss for the rest of his life.
When they pulled apart, Lin passed Lila on to Tenzin to hold. He delicately held her as Lin wiped her dried up tears with her palms.
“Say your goodbyes.”
Tenzin bit his bottom lip. “Thanks.” He admired his daughter, he couldn’t help but smile. A joy so unfathomable, he couldn't wrap his head around the grief that was yet to set in. “I love you so much,” he whispered to Lila. “You’re my world, Lili. You and your mother, you're my earth, my air, my everything.” He kissed the top of Lila's head before handing her back to Lin.
He stood up, and knowing she wouldn’t stop him, he planted a kiss on Lin’s forehead one last time. “I love you. And I always will.”
“I'll be sure to thank Saikhan for letting you know of my whereabouts. If it weren't for him, you never would've found us."
"Lin, I would've found you with or without my intel. Who, by the way, wasn't Saikhan."
"Who was it then?" she asked.
Tenzin chanced another kiss to her cheek and replied. "I'll save that story for the ferry when I pick Lila up next week."
“Fine,” she said softly, but there was a hint of a smile in her voice.
Tenzin beamed, making his way over to the door. “I’m going to win you back, Beifong. Just you wait. I look forward to those thirty minutes on Yue Bay.”
Before Lin could conjure up the metal tray beside her into mini spheres to throw in his direction, the airbender was gone.

sooooo what’s next for bella? 👀☺️
It's been fun seeing the meltdowns in my inbox, but enough is enough.
---------------------------
"Hey" Lucas walked inside home, muffling a yawn against his fist and circling Bella, kissing the top of her head. She only leaned back slightly, so his kiss could be pressed to her forehead and Luke opened a tired smile, pulling back, "how was your day?"
"Tiring as hell, yours?"
"Same," he yawned again, walking towards the bathroom. Their tiny house was small enough that they could hold a conversation despite not being in the same room. Even sitting in the living room, Bell could definitely hear him as he stripped out the sweaty uniform and entered the bathroom, starting the shower, "have you had dinner yet?"
"No," he heard her yawn and then her voice got louder as Bella entered the bathroom too, leaning against the doorway, "I was waiting for you."
"Have you showered?" he got under the hot water, letting out a sigh of relief and Bella nodded, sitting on the closed toilet and watching him, seeming to be completely lost in thought.
While his wife wasn't as talkative as he was, Bella was not a quiet person. Luke frowned as he washed his hair, noticing how she didn't even say anything as he used her fancy hair mask.
"Everything alright?"
She was hugging her knees, chin resting on top of them and Bella nodded, blinking heavily, "just sleepy."
He shrugged it off, finishing washing up and wrapping a towel around his hip, walking to the sink and opening up the mirror cabinet, grabbing his shaving kit. Bella got up, draping herself over him and Luke smiled as he felt a kiss be pressed to the middle of his back, her cheek resting against the still humid skin.
He expected her to pull back, but Bella stayed pressed against him the entire time he carefully shaved. He finishing applying the after shave and turned around, wrapping his arms around her, "what's wrong, Bella?"
"Nothing," she cuddled even closer, nose brushing against his collarbone, "I love the smell of your after shave."
"I know," Lucas grinned, kissing her temple. He had to know, after the amount of times he had gotten jumped by her after shaving. They stumbled back to the bedroom, since Bell refused to let go of him and he struggled to slide on his boxers, almost crushing her as they fell in the bed.
Bella let out a happy sigh, sinking against the pillows and wrapping arms and legs around him, causing Luke to chuckle, "aren't we having dinner?"
"I'm not hungry," she mumbled, her voice muffled by his neck, "I just wanna cuddle."
He frowned again, but didn't pull back, tracing invisible forms on her back, "okay baby, we can cuddle," Lucas whispered, hoping she'd pipe up about whatever was clearly bothering her.
She didn't say anything, though, instead just slumping against him and letting out a relieved breath. In less than ten minutes, Bella was out like a lamp.
Lucas pulled back slowly, unhooking himself from her hold and pulling the blankets around her. He finished getting dressed and then tip toed into the kitchen to have a quiet dinner.
Bella wasn't a heavy sleeper, but she also wasn't a super light sleeper, and she didn't wake up with the noise of him eating and then brushing his teeth, quietly turning off the lights and joining her in bed with a book forty minutes later.
She rolled closer the moment he got under the covers though, letting out a sigh as her cheek pressed to his pec.
He was rereading The Name of The Rose, sucked in by the mystery, when Bella let out a little groan and rolled away from him. Lucas paused, glancing away from the book and closing it, keeping the page marked with one hand, while with the other he brushed the red curls away from her face and lightly touched Bell's cheeks.
It wasn't a surprise when he felt a fever. He sighed, shutting the book for good and scooting closer to assess the situation. Bella was still deeply asleep, brows furrowed with a bad dream.
Luke pressed a kiss to her shoulder, shaking her awake, "babe... Bella, wake up..."
It took her a second, but then she opened her eyes, confused "Luke...? Everything alright?"
"You tell me, baby, you have a fever," he whispered, going through their bedside drawer and grabbing some tylenol, "did you know?"
Bella shook her head, blinking heavily, "I don't want meds, I just need to sleep it off..."
"After the meds," Lucas said strongly, handing her the bitter pill and his water bottle, "c'mon..."
She grimaced, but obeyed and then fell back against the pillows, rubbing her eyes with the heels of her hands. He eyed her worriedly, frowning as her shoulders suddenly hitched.
"Bell?"
He thought it was a queasy hiccup at first, but quickly Luke realized she was crying. His heart sank, "Bella, hey... Baby, why are you crying? Hey..." he moved closer on the bed, cupping her face.
She let out another sob, curling up on her side, towards him and Lucas scooped her up, planting a kiss on the side of her head as Bella draped herself over him.
"Talk to me, baby, I can't help if I don't know what's wrong..."
He felt her shake her head, pressing herself even closer and Luke let out an unhappy noise, "what don't you wanna tell me?" he whispered, kissing her humid cheek, "what's wrong?"
"Ss-stop," Bell whimpered, her nose pressing to his neck and tears streaming down still, creating a wet spot in the neckline of his shirt. Luke frowned, but shut up, continuing to rock her, a hand open in the middle of her back, feeling the shudders wrecking her.
There were very few things that genuinely scared Lucas, but his wife crying was easily in the top three. It took a handful of minutes for her sobs to quiet down, a couple more for the sniffles to stop and Luke pulled back slightly, trying to get a look at her face.
"You don't have to tell me," he said calmly, despite feeling anything but, "just answer me if you're in pain? Is this your head...?" It had been a hot minute since Bella's head injury from October last year acted up, but he couldn't discard the possibility.
"No," her arms snaked around his neck and Bell squeezed him closer, "nothing hurts."
"Alright," He wanted to rattle her, but instead Luke slid down on the bed, so they were both lying down instead of sitting up. She moved slightly so her face was pressed to his chest and he pressed his chin to the of her head, planting a kiss there.
His mind was reeling, trying to figure what this could possibly be. She had clearly been upset when he arrived already, but not at him. So the problem wasn't something as mundane as him forgetting their wedding or dating anniversary, not that they had ever celebrated those.
"Lu," she mumbled, after a long while had passed and Lucas was half convinced Bella had fallen back asleep. She moved in his arms in order to look at him and Luke pushed a frizzy curl away from her eyes.
"Yes?"
"Do you love me?" her bottom lip trembled and he frowned deeply. In what world this was ever something to be questioned?
He was about ready to bite her head off, when Bell's blue eyes welled up with tears again and caused him to reevaluate his choice of words, "I'm afraid it's terminal," he quoted, and she let out a watery chuckle, causing the near tears to fall. Luke wiped them away, "Isa?"
"I got my period, that's all," Bella sighed, turning her face in order to avoid his eyes.
Lucas was more confused than ever, "you're not gonna convince me all these tears are just because you're sensitive today, baby-"
"No," she pouted, biting at her bottom lip, "that's what happened, I got my period."
He pushed her off of him gently, sitting up as his thoughts started to connect, "you didn't want to get it....?"
"No, I did," Bella frowned, seeming lost herself, "I thought I did, I don't know, it was late and I'm never regular so I didn't think anything of it, but then it was very late- Like two months too late... And I don't know, I just- I- I thought maybe-"
He felt dizzy, this was a conversation they should've had ages ago. A conversation even his friends had asked them and they had brushed it off as not important and here they were, finally having arrived at it.
"Luke, say something," Bella pulled back, starting to chew on the corner of her thumb in a nervous way, "I'm not pregnant, you can't blue screen on me-"
"I'm not," he said quickly, "I didn't know you wanted to-"
"Not now," she shook her head vehemently, "I want kids, but not now."
"Okay, we're on the same page here..." He frowned at her face, "but...?"
"But my period wasn't coming, so I guess- I guess I just thought it might be real and I was happy?... I even bought a test, I was gonna do it today, but uhm..." she sighed heavily, "I told you it was stupid."
"It's not stupid," he glared at her, "you liked the idea, that's fine. That's..." he took a deep breath, not sure he agreed with his own words, "normal."
"Is it?" Bell frowned at him, "because I just feel weird. Relieved, happy... But sad...?"
He couldn't relate to that, not really. All Luke felt was mind numbing relief at the words not-pregnant, but he tried to empathize, "I'm sure it's normal, Bell," he lied back down, staring at the ceiling and Bella slid down, pressing her overheated forehead to his stomach.
Lucas started petting her hair, letting out a relieved sigh. Against him, Bella let out a huff, "we'd be disasters as parents right now."
He knew exactly what she was doing, it was an act he had see Bella do one too many times. Shrug it off, i-didn't-even-want-it-in-the-first-place.
"I think we'd be alright," Luke argued weakly, "I'd probably need to go back to therapy, though."
She let out a small chuckle, which sounded more like a sob, pressing her mouth to his belly, "...When you say later, do you mean it?" Bella whispered, without looking at him.
Luke frowned, "Bell?"
"I mean it," she moved slightly, so she could look at him, "not now, but later and I'm being serious. Are you?"
"Y-yeah," he moved up to look at her, "I think so..."
"You think so?"
He thought of it, ignoring Bella's half heartbroken look. Luke was terrified of the idea of kids, he knew this well. He liked them alright and he was in love with the idea of Bella with their children, but him? As a father?
"I- I love the idea of us having kids, I'm just not sure I wanna be a dad..."
Bella let out a scoff, "well, I can't exactly ask someone else, can I? Vince's taken," it was a joke and Luke knew it, but the words brought up such a vicious flash of jealousy, he recoiled away with a wounded noise. Bella's eyes widened, "baby, Luke, it's a joke! It's a joke-"
"I know," he groaned, rubbing his face, "a poor one, though."
"Sorry," she bit down her lip, "you know you're not Kit, right? Just the same I'm not my mom? We're- We're building something here, Luke, breaking the cycle and all that crap."
He smiled at her, "I know. I think I'd be scared shitless, Bell," he admitted, then took a deep breath, "but there's no one I'd rather be terrified with."
She opened a smile as well, leaning in to kiss him, "me neither, Luke."
