Gökyüzüne mi yoksa maviye olan sevgimden mi bilemiyorum ama nereye gidersem gideyim hep bulunduğum yerden gökyüzünün fotoğrafını çekmeye çalışırım ondan sonrada galeride evim diye oluşturduğum albüme eklemeyi seviyorum çünkü kendimi ait ve huzurlu olduğumu hissettiğim yer gökyüzü veya mavinin kucağı her ne ise orasıymış gibime geliyor.

Gerçi bazen de fotoğraf çekmeyip sadece izler, o anı hissetmeye çalışırım... Ama bazen fotoğrafı çektiğimde telefonuma sinirlendiğim zamanlar da oluyor çünkü benim gördüğü ve hissettiğimi yansıtmıyor diye.

Roy Harper following Black Canary steps in music. One day he's tweeting "Big things coming ! 👀👀👀" like every band but the next day the corrupt governement just next their following tour date is overthrown with a picture of Arsenal, Red Hood (on do not disturb mode since a month), and Artemis in every newspaper.

[ashoss]

For the bat x pjo thing, I’ve always loved the idea of Jason as a son of poseidon. I know that one’s probably overdone, but I love it a lot!

Just think about it—he’s got the looks, the sheer physical and probably even mystical power, the changeability…he’s just as intelligent as Percy believes he (Percy) isn’t, especially strategically. He was resurrected during heavy rain, which could be an explanation, like Poseidon’s upset his kid died so he’s sending rain to bring him back. He died in the desert, where there’s not a lot of water, and I know it’s a lazarus pit, but he regained his faculties in the water, and in both the comics and the movie, he’s extremely disoriented and falls/is pushed off a cliff into a body of water—but more than that, even if he preempts betrayal later on by leaving first, he is EXTREMELY loyal and will do anything for his friends.

I don’t know if you’ve already heard it, but you should really listen to Ruthlessness from Epic the Musical, with Jason confronting Bruce with the Joker in mind. It’s perfect for that, and that’s actually how I got the idea before I read anything on AO3 with Jason as a son of poseidon.

And I love the idea of Roy as a son of Athena too, you know, extremely clever, invents things but also fights very well, and, even if he’s not great at lying as a leader, is a very good leader anyway. (Kori and Bizarro have their own things, but Artemis, even though she is from Bana-Mighdall, is still descended from the greek amazons, and could be a legacy of a child of Athena, Ares, or Apollo).

And yeah, okay, I feel like Damian kinda has to be a legacy or something, BUT what if he were more like Carter Kane in The Red Pyramid? A vessel for Horus, or something, but a powerful warrior-magician nonetheless.

For Dick, I really liked in your other one him as a child of Hermes, but I feel like a son of Astrape, goddess of lightning, would work better. Astrape for sheer, you know, flashy power that still puts you on your ass, and arcs through the sky even if it can’t fly on its own necessarily (although that’s just a lot more representative, of course his abilities would be the result of hard work, as usual). And the fact that Astrape and Bronte are in Zeus’ entourage, and his shield/weapons bearers just fits Batman and Robin’s first thing and then Nightwing and Batman’s whole thing after very well, I think.

As for Tim? I honestly think he should just be a clear sighted mortal. He’s never seemed that much like any one child of anything to me.

Stephanie as the daughter of Dionysus is just inspired, and I can’t believe I never thought of it!

And Alfred I feel like would be, even if not the son of anyone, or a legacy, a sort of disciple of Hestia or something.

Babs I just love as a daughter of Athena, but also, she’s kind of taken the role of Oracle for herself, and I was thinking, you know, she should be a clear sighted mortal who became the oracle of Delphi, like Rachel.

And Cass I love as the daughter of Nike, but I feel like a daughter of Hades just fits her so well! Disappears into shadows, often called quite creepy and yet has no patience for what she sees as trivial when she could be attacking something with her fists instead (and has something against contributing to the overpopulation of her father’s realm 😆).

And Duke I liked in the other one too, able to see something vaguely…Other about his foster family, and the gods already seeming much too bright, but just with his meta ability.

Heh, I know I focussed a lot on Jason and the Outlaws, but they are very much my blorbos 😅.

💜

god i do really love Poseidon kid Jason (especially if we give Jason more of the earthshaker powers). he's definitely very similar to Percy in a lot of ways like you mentioned. HOWEVER while you bring up a LOOOT of good points for Poseidon kid Jason i think i want to stray away from having any of the batkids being kids of the big three? i feel like it might to into like,, mary sue territory (even though they're not really OCs but I'm lowkey kinda strict with my PJO aus and want to stick as close to canon as possible - meaning the big three only broke their oaths to not have kids with Percy, Jason and Thalia.) maybe ill do another au or something with Poseidon kid Jason because i really do love it lol

Athena kid Roy is interesting! unfortunately i don't know much abt Roy himself to really refute it or anything

as for Damian i definitely was playing with him being a magician, and maybe a legacy on Talias side? I'm not too sure on that part.

Astrape kid dick is also interesting! i haven't really looked at any of the more minor gods/goddesses for any of them but i can def see it! it's taking some of the traits of Zeus and toning them down a bit without really taking away the power. i still think I'm kinda attached to Hermes kid dick, but if we really want to give him flight we can give him the shoes similar to the ones Luke gave Percy in tlt

honestly mortal Tim does make sense and can also play into his insecurities on not being enough to fit dick or Jason's shoes as robin, since he's not a demigod he's just a regular kid. (however i think i am attached to Aphrodite kid Tim now lol but i do think mortal Tim could be good)

i think i may need a bit more swaying on Dionysus kid Stephanie but i do think its cool - it's definitely something i haven't seen before.

and yes i think Babs should just be a clearsighted mortal no matter how much i like Athena kid Babs. i did really want to play into the oracle name itself and her being the oracle of Delphi is good (however i don't really think her being the oracle itself - like Rachel- would fit in the au? unless they were all at camp i don't really know. i don't think the batfamily themselves need an oracle ? maybe she could be blessed (or cursed) by apollo )

i do like hades kid Cass but like i said with dick i kinda don't want any of them to be kids of the big three. but i think it fits her character - especially with her being a bit creepy as black bat/batgirl. but it might be interesting in terms of her childhood - if David was aware of her parentage he might have had higher hopes for this killing machine he wanted. this child of hades who is a master at reading body language and could kill with the touch of a hand? it could also tie into her adverseness of death itself - because she couldn't handle the feeling of death because of two contributing factors - her understanding of death through her hades powers (like Nico) and her understanding of body language. (hmmm maybe i might make an exception of my refusal of big three kids for hades Cass)

and yes!! i love the ideas of just meta Duke with no godly influence. it might be interesting for him to not be clearsighted - but that could bring in more ideas for how his powers affect his life. do you think he could see the outline or the shadow of a monster? or that his new foster family's eyes tend to glow slightly too bright and there seems to be something golden in their veins? maybe one of them could have some control of the mist like hazel does and would lift the mist later on for duke.

very good takes!! you're definitely making me think about these tho lol

Bu ülkenin beni bir duygudan diğerine taşıması... Bugün yaşadığım olayı Türkiye'de yaşar mıydım bilmiyorum. Yaşamadım en azından.

Sabah şirketin olduğu tren istasyonuna geldim. Oradan da otobüs durağına geçtim. (Bu arada da Hollanda Kasımda sadece gri olur diyenler azıcık utansın diye gözümü alan güneşin fotosunu da çektim.)

Fotoğraftaki amcaydı şoför, otobüsün iptal olduğunu söyledi bana ve yanımda bekleyen kadına. Ben yıkıldım tabii, çünkü Utrecht'e gidip oradan bilebilirsinzi ya da bi sonraki 45 dakika sonra dedi. Şu ülkede yol o kadar büyük bi imtihan oldu ki bana..

Amcaya kendi durağımın ismini söyleyip, oraya başka bi şekilde gidip gidemeyeceğimi sordum. Şuna binersen biraz yürürsün ama gidersin dedi.

Sonra bana bi baktı ve dedi ki "hadi gel ben seni götüreyim"gkflflffkkffl

Bindim ve kart da bastırmadı. Ben, amca ve koca otobüs...

Konuşa konuşa gittik. Bir de beni durakta değil şirketin tam önünde indirdifkflflfl ona daha bi şok oldum çünkü bisiklet yolu bile olmayan çok geniş bi yol, orada durması yasaktır muhtemelen.

Yolda bi de Dutch kelime öğretti: Moeilijk, zor demekmiş.

İnerken de ben ona "dank je well, jij ben een engel" dedim, güldü.

Elini uzattı ve tokalaştık. Ve kendisi bütün bir günümün güzel geçmesine, managerımı bol bol güldürmeme hatta managerımla insan ilişkileri üzerine deep talk yapmamıza vesile oldu. Resmenn kelebek etkisi ❣️

--

Bu da yetmezmiş gibi gökyüzü bugün tam anlamıyla şov yaptı. Benim işkolik managerım hiçbir şeyle ilgilenmeden bilgisayara baktığı için arada onu tüm neşem, gökyüzü aşkım ve hayretimle gülümsettim, gökyüzüne bakın lütfen tekrar bakın, its time to appreciate the sky now diye diye :')

------

Ve maalesef bu hafta da "bu yol beni çok yoruyor, okuldaki işlerimi yapamıyorum, işi bırakmak istiyorum" diyemedim. Ayy napıcam ya napıcam... Neden bütün oyuncaklar bizim olamıyor?

Şimdi trendeyim. İş o kadar yoğundu ki yemek yiyemedim. Sabahtan beri a��ım. Hem hüzünlüyüm, hem neşeliyim, bir garip hallerdeyim. Otobüs şoförü amca sen hep iyi ol inşallah ya, canım benim, dutch kelebeğim.

小菫[Kosumire] Viola japonica

小[Ko] : Small

菫[Sumire] : Violet

On a day after the midnight rain, while strolling through a wooded area where the sky became brighter than in autumn, I found violets blooming among the fallen leaves, which had darkened in color with moisture. As looking around, I saw them growing here and there, and almost all of them were in bloom.

The leaves were much larger than those in the spring and were not uncommon for the leaves to be well over ten centimeters in length. So finding them was easy, but on the other hand, identification was a bit of a struggle.

Blooming when it is not in its natural season, or unseasonable blooming, is called 狂い咲き[Kurui-zaki](lit. wrong blooming), but this is not the case, since they are all blooming at the same time, it is 返り咲き|帰り咲き[Kaeri-zaki](lit. returning blooming) or 二度咲き[Nido-zaki](lit. twice blooming).

Kaerizaki is called 帰り花[Kaeri-bana] in haiku and poetry, and was also called 忘れ花[Wasure-bana](lit. forgetting flower) in earlier times.

Feels Like Home [Epilogue]

Summary: When an unexpected three-week break between Monza and Singapore finds Daniel back on his farm in Perth he’s desperate to use this time to clear his mind, figure out his future in Formula One, and find his way back. He didn’t expect a new neighbour, a sassy two-year old, and three alpacas would make him realise that sometimes, what you’re looking for is right in front of you.

Pairing: Daniel Ricciardo x reader (unnamed OFC)

Warnings: None. Weird.

Word count: 3k

AN: Sorry for the long wait, bb’s. Life got in the way and- Ugh. Anyway. Here we are, the last part of this story. I hope you liked reading it all as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please leave a comment if you did :) ♥

Masterlist

"Danny, banana. Danny, bana-"

"Mate-" Daniel locks eyes with his best friend through the rear view mirror and shakes his head.

From the driver's seat Blake shrugs and grins, "What? Shi-" He catches himself just in time, no doubt also because of a whispered, "Blake!" coming from next to Daniel, and corrects himself quick enough for it not to reach a certain three-year-old's ears. "It's a catchy song, mate." Blake looks over his shoulder then, wiggling his eyebrows, "Right, El?"

Ellie nods in response, dancing in her car seat as she continues where Blake left off, "-na. Danny, banana. Danny, banana."

There's a stifled laugh coming from his left, followed by a hand on his knee, "Regretting bringing us along for the weekend yet?"

He takes her hand in his, intertwining their fingers effortlessly, before he brings them up to his mouth and places a kiss to the back of her hand, "Never."

They're on their way to the track, Blake driving the Ford pickup Red Bull arranged for them this weekend, Mia, one of the Red Bull PR girls, in the front seat and Daniel, her, and Ellie crammed in the backseat together. It's Friday, free practice day, and so there's no rush, not much on his schedule except a sit-down interview with Sky Sports later today, once the two practice sessions are over. 

Next to him Ellie keeps singing her song and when he looks at her she smiles up at him with her toothy grin, holding out her hand to him. He takes it and presses a kiss to the back of her hand the same way he did to her mum's a few moments ago, "You excited, bub?"

"Yep," Ellie says confidently even though Daniel's sure she has no idea what's about to happen. She leans forward and looks around him, at her mum, "Happy days."

On his other side she laughs and shakes her head, muttering a quiet, "Tell me your kid is hanging out with your boyfriend too much without telling me your kid is hanging out with your boyfriend too much."

Daniel doesn't say anything but an exciting mix of happiness and pride and love spreading inside his chest, pushing out the nerves that have been there all morning. Because it's one thing to be going to his home Grand Prix, but it's another thing to do so with her and Ellie by his side. 

It feels like only yesterday when he was in Abu Dhabi, confirming after weeks of speculation that yes, he would be returning to his former team, but at the same time so much has happened in the time he’s been home that it’s hard to believe it’s only been four months.

The farm- their farm now, ever since he asked her and Ellie to move in with him at the end of January- has seemed to come alive and feels more like a home than it ever did before. They moved the girls from Oscar’s farm to theirs early March because it would be a lot easier for them to look after six alpacas than it would be for her Granddad, who now only has Homer to worry about and can finally enjoy his retirement. 

Last week they spent some time with Blake, trying to figure out whether or not they should launch their relationship ahead of the Grand Prix but in the end she made the decision for them when, after another hour or so of discussing the pros and cons, she looked at him and Blake and simply said, "Why don't we just see what happens? It can't be that bad, right?”

Blake, bless him, wasted no time and started rattling of a list of reasons why it would be bad, why they needed a plan, why-

"I get that part," she said, reaching over the kitchen table and putting her hand on Blake's arm, "and I think it's good that we have something to fall back on once the news breaks, but- I just don't like the idea of an official statement, or orchestrating a 'candid'-" she air-quoted the word, "-moment with the press. I much rather just have it happen naturally, if that makes sense."

Daniel remembers nodding in agreement, "She has a point, mate.”

Blake had leaned back in his chair, pushing up his glasses to pinch the bridge of his nose but then he dropped his shoulders and let out a resigned sigh and Daniel knew they had won Blake over, "Fine. I'll call Christian and Vicky and hear what they think.

Daniel told Christian about her, last November, in the few quiet hours before they announced his return to Red Bull. Christian hadn't said anything at first, just looked at Daniel the way he so often looked at Max, a softness there that Daniel hadn't quite known how to take until Christian clasped his shoulder and told him, his voice thick and laced with pride, "I'm really happy for you, Daniel. You- You more than anyone deserve this." 

And so he wasn’t surprised when Christian gave them the go-ahead.

They’re almost at the track now and when Daniel clears his throat, the nerves from earlier back in full force, he feels her squeeze his hand, like she knows exactly what he's feeling right now. He guesses that in a way she is. 

***

From the moment you arrive at the track it's hectic, Daniel and Blake leaving the car first in an attempt to give you and Ellie some respite from hundreds of the waiting fans. Mia stays with you, so she can escort you, in what everyone hopes will be relative peace, to the paddock once Max arrives in about five minutes. 

It's a carefully planned setup by Vicky who, more than anything else, was concerned about you and Ellie and promised she would try to make it as enjoyable as possible. Even if that meant you had to wait in the car for a few minutes so Max could act as a decoy.

Looking out of the window and seeing just how crazy people get when they see Daniel, you're glad you agreed. 

You're not sure if Vicky had anything to do with it but both Max and Sergio arrive at the track at the same time and with the fans' attention turned solely to the two Red Bull drivers, you make it to the team's garage without too much trouble. Mia not wearing any team gear but instead being undercover in her plain clothes definitely helped, you tell her with a wink once you're safely inside.

"I felt like I was on a secret mission," the young girl beams back at you. She nods then, "You guys have fun today."

"Thank you, Mia," you tell her with a warm smile that grows even wider when you see Daniel coming towards you.

"Hey you," he says, standing in front of you with his back towards the pitlane, effectively blocking you and Ellie from prying eyes. "All good?"

"All good," you confirm easily enough. 

He holds something out to Ellie then, looking extremely pleased with himself, "Here you go, bub. You have to put these on when the cars start to make loud noises, ok?"

Ellie takes the headphones from him, looking at Daniel with wide eyes.

"Oh wow, Ellie," you say as you pinch her cheek with your free hand. "Danny got you pink headphones, huh? How cool!"

"Thank you, Danny," Ellie says, leaning forward in your arms so she can press a kiss to Daniel's cheek.

Daniel smiles widely at Ellie before he grabs something off the counter next to you, "I got you a pair as well."

"Momma, look!" Ellie holds up hers, "The same!"

You smile, "Yeah, we're matching, bub. How very awesome."

"So free practice starts in an hour or so, do you want to grab something to eat first?" Daniel's rocking back and forth on his feet and you can tell he's getting a little nervous again. It’s the only downside of not having an official moment scheduled, you’ve come to realise, because it’s completely out of your hands and it’s just one big waiting game until someone spots you together and runs with it. 

You try to give Daniel your best reassuring smile, "Sounds great." Taking Ellie's headphones from her, you put them, and yours, in the large tote bag that's hanging from your shoulder before you move Ellie to your other hip, "Lead the way, Ricciardo."

Daniel nods towards the back of the garage and when you turn around he puts his hand on the small of your back, guiding you through a maze of corridors that lead back to the paddock and the Red Bull hospitality. 

Before you've crossed over though, Ellie starts wriggling in your arms and it isn't until you see a familiar face coming your way that you understand why. Ellie tries to push herself free and so, once he's close enough, you set her down and watch as she wobbles over to, "Uncle Mikey!"

Michael's entire face lights up and he squats down just in time to catch her, picking her up and laughing when she presses a wet kiss to his cheek, "Hello Miss Ellie. How you going?"

"Uncle Mikey," Ellie repeats, a little quieter this time, letting her head rest against his shoulder with a content sigh.

Michael nods to the driver who's standing next to him, "Go on, mate. I'll catch up with you in a bit, yeah?"

Yuki nods and gives Ellie a quick wave, "Bye."

A few heads have turned your way but then you greet Michael with a warm hug, Daniel keeping his distance, and it seems people lose interest rather quickly, probably thinking you're here for the Alpha Tauri trainer instead of Red Bull's reserve driver. Ellie, bless her, helps by babbling incessantly about whatever she deems interesting enough, as if she hasn't just seen him last Sunday when he was over for dinner with Nathalie and Blake. 

Michael listens intently but nods towards Red Bull's hospitality and so you follow him to where he stops in front of the sliding doors, thankful for the escort. When there's a lull in Ellie's stories, Michael takes it as his cue to hand her back to you, but not before promising he'll catch up with you later this weekend. 

Daniel reappears then, and together you head inside. The room is full of Red Bull employees enjoying their lunch but none of them seem to pay you any mind and it's then you remember a brief was sent out by the team earlier this week, where it was mentioned you and Ellie would be joining Daniel this weekend, effectively introducing you to the crew. 

There is someone waving at you from the other side of the room and so Daniel gently pushes you forward to where Blake is sitting. Without hesitating Blake pushes his chair back so he can take Ellie from you, bouncing her on his knee as you hang your bag on the back of a chair and sit down. Ellie's giggles quickly fill the room and you can't help but smile by how at ease she is.

"Well, hello,"

You look up and see Christian joining your table, giving Daniel a hug before he turns to you. Standing up you're ready to shake his hand but find yourself being pulled into a hug instead.

"It's so nice to finally meet you," Christian says when he lets go of you, one hand still on your arm. He nods to Daniel then, a mischievous grin on his lips, "This one wouldn't shut up about you."

You let out a laugh at the way Daniel's cheeks redden and smile at Christian, "Surprisingly enough we talked a lot about you on our first date, so I guess that makes two of us."

Christian chuckles and nods at Daniel, "I can see why you like her so much." He turns to Blake and Ellie then, "And who is this lovely lady?"

"Bit weird of you to call Blake that," Daniel pipes up with a grin, "but I'm sure he doesn't mind the compliment."

You shake your head at Daniel, trying to not laugh at the way Blake gives him one of his better scowls, and pick up Ellie, "This is my daughter Ellie."

"Hello Ellie," Christian says, giving her knee a gentle squeeze. "Don't you look just like your mum."

Ellie studies Christian for a second, her little eyebrows knitted together as she tries to decide whether she likes him or not, but then she grins widely, "Danny go racing."

"Not this weekend, bub," Daniel explains from next to Christian. "Some other time maybe."

Christian leans closer to Ellie then and whispers, loud enough for you and Daniel to hear, "Definitely some other time, sweetheart."

***

She and Ellie watch both the first practice session from inside Max’s side of the garage, while Daniel is on the pit wall, trying to concentrate but catching himself looking over his shoulder every couple of minutes to see if they’re still ok. He spots Brad, Max’s trainer, chatting to Ellie animatedly towards the end of the session and feels a little more at ease, once again reminded how fiercely loyal and protective everyone in the Red Bull family is. 

Once free practice is over he starts to head back inside where he finds Ellie admiring the lion on top of the helmet Max is showing her.

“It is of course not like a real lion, Ellie,” Max tells her as he traces the lines with his finger, “but it looks like one don’t you think?” 

“Danny, look!” Ellie says when she spots him and points to Max’s helmet, “It’s a lion.”

“It’s sure is, bub,” Daniel agrees with a smile, picking up Ellie then when she holds out her arms to him. When she rests her head against his shoulder he hugs her closer, still amazed by how much it means that she trusts him so much.

Max looks at him a little strange and Daniel half expects him to crack a joke but instead he claps Daniel’s back and gives him a kind smile, “I’ll see you tomorrow, yeah?” 

“Yep.”

Daniel watches as she says her goodbyes to Max, not surprised when his teammate returns the hugs she gives him without hesitating. When she turns back to Daniel she smiles, “I like him.” 

“Good.” Daniel chuckles, “I like him too most of the time.” Ellie lets out a yawn then and Daniel presses a kiss to the top of her head, “You tired, bub?”

Ellie shakes her head but another yawn betrays her.

She runs her hand through her daughter’s hair and smiles, “It’s a long day, huh bub?”

Daniel smiles apologetically, “I can have someone take you back to the hotel if you want?”

“Oh, no, that’s ok,” she says. She nods towards Ellie then, “She’d never forgive me if we left early but-” she looks around, “-if we could find somewhere quiet, maybe?”

“Say no more,” Daniel says and uses his free hand to guide her to the back of the garage and into the maze of corridors that ultimately leads them to a conference room that he hopes still has a comfortable couch in it like it used to do when he first was with the team. It does.

“Perfect,” she tells him with a smile as she sits down at an angle, one leg folded in front of her. She leans in and takes Ellie’s shoes off, the little girl already fast asleep in Daniel’s lap. She looks up at him then, “You sure you don’t have anywhere else to be?”

“Nah.” Daniel shakes his head and leans in to give her a kiss, “There’s nowhere I’d rather be right now.” 

***

“Daniel, after four years you’re back to where it all started for you, back at Red Bull,” Nathalie looks up at him and smiles. “Are you happy to be back?”

“I am,” Daniel agrees easily enough, leaning back in his chair. You can tell he’s at ease, no nervous tapping of his foot or biting the skin around his nails, and you know it’s because he and Nathalie are good friends and he knows he won’t push anything. You watch as he nods to where the Red Bull garage is, “It feels good, you know? They’re family.” 

Nathalie nods, “Christian told us you’ll probably be at eight races this year, Melbourne being the first, are you ok with being around the paddock but not being able to drive? Do you miss it?”

“Of course I miss it but-” Daniel sits up a little, as if he wants to get his point across, “-I know I still need some time. These past few months- Without the pressure of having to prepare for a season, you know, it’s- It’s been good. I’m in a much better headspace now and I think if we can keep this up for the next couple of months-” He shrugs, “Who knows what might happen.”

“Would you say you’re happier now than you were at Renault and McLaren? Even though you’re not driving-”

“Oh definitely,” Daniel answers without hesitating. “It feels like this is exactly where I’m meant to be.”

Nathalie smiles, “You seem more relaxed than when we last spoke in Abu Dhabi last year- Would you say the longer winter break helped with that?” 

“Amongst other things,” Daniel says with a grin, making Nathalie shake her head. 

“I heard something about you being an alpaca farmer now,” Nathalie teases, as if she didn’t come by after Jeddah for a two-day visit where she spent most of her time cuddling the girls. And Ellie. 

“You heard correct,” Daniel shoots back, smiling widely.

“You are a man of many talents, Daniel,” Nathalie says as she throws him a wink. “Amazing.” She clears her throat then, “So is it safe to say you’re in a good place right now? That you’re happy?”

Daniel nods, “Yep.” 

“Why?”

Daniel looks past Nathalie at you and Ellie, locking eyes with you as he smiles and says, “I’ve got everything I need right here.” 

“Yes?”

“Yeah.” Daniel looks back at Nathalie, “I’m home.”

Mayqo'te- Moonlight

Mayqo'te prompt list I'm following can be found here ----------

E'venna gazed up at the moon, trying her best to distract herself from the bruises all over her body. Another loss in the ring, another poor payout, she didn't even break the top eight competitors this time. It all came at the worst time, just as the deadline for the triplets' tuition was approaching... Ears drooped and tail fell motionless as Venna silently let the tears fall on her face. She couldn't let herself get like this normally, not around her family. She's this unbreakable hero to them, when she loses she's supposed to gets right back up with a smile. She's supposed to...supposed to... Tears drop from her face to her bruised arm, glistening in the moon's pale light. They'd all find a way to make up the difference. Maybe Bana's mining crew found that new ore vein he'd been hyping up for a while? At the very least Venna was sure she could live without a few meals in the meantime...every Gil mattered.

Blinking through the tears, she could barely make out the shape of the moon above. Everything seemed to go wrong today...and yet the moon keeps traveling, with the sun following close behind. Another day is starting. A bright, hopeful new day. Venna smiled as the tears kept falling, keeping watch of the moon as it danced through the sky. A new day...another day they all get to see. That's all that matters.

Whores Worshipping on Weathertop

18+ MINORS DNI

Steve was yet again complaining about another failed date to Robin at Family Video.

"I don't know what to do, Rob. This is the third girl that only wanted me for sex," Steve said with a pout. "Not that sex isn't great. I just want a connection, you know. Hey, maybe you should just make all of my dating decisions for me. You know what you want, maybe you should decide what I want."

"You want me to pick your date for you?" Robin asked, panicking. "I don't know, man, that's a big decision, and what if I pick wrong? You know what?! Just date the next person that strolls through here! There we go!"

As she slapped the counter, the bell above the door rang, and Eddie Munson strolls in like he was Willy Wonka.

"Have no fear. The best part of your day is here!" Eddie exclaimed with a cheeky grin.

"Huh, alright," Steve said. "Hey, Munson, you want to go on a date with me?"

The smile slid of Eddie's face as he and Robin stared at him.

"Wait - no, that's not what I -," Robin started.

"Are you serious?" Eddie asked.

"Yep!" Steve exclaimed.

"Um, yeah, I would like that," he replied, his cheeks tinted red and the smile returned to his face. "When are you thinking?"

"I'm not doing anything Saturday, what about you?" Steve asked.

"Nope! Wait - I just remembered! I am doing something that day. I am going on a date with the prettiest boy in all of Hawkins! That's you, silly," Eddie said, flouncing over and kissing his cheek. "Now, excuse me, I need to go shopping for new clothes. I have to impress my date!"

Steve watched him leave and turned to Robin, who was gaping at him.

"What? You told me to ask out the next person who walked in here, and that was Eddie," Steve said to her.

"Yeah, but you're not -," Robin said.

"I don't know if I am or not, Robin. I do know that I have a connection with Eddie, and I would like to see if that leads anywhere. That's kind of what dating is, isn't it? To find a connection, to see if it leads anywhere and if it doesn't, then I will try to let him down gentle. I have had no luck with girls lately, and I just - I have always had these thoughts about guys, and I've always wondered if they're what I think they are. I'll never know unless I try, right? I know this probably all sounds horrible - I have to know, Robin," Steve said.

"Holy shit, you're rambling. You are turning into me. Maybe that's what those thoughts are - you're picking up stray transmissions," Robin replied.

"You too are having gay thoughts about men?" Steve asked.

"Shut up, you know what I mean."

It was silent the whole car ride over. Saturday had rolled around, and Steve was taking Eddie to Weathertop for a picnic under the stars. The weather was cool enough to not worry about breaking into a huge sweat while climbing the side of the hill but not too cold for them to shiver to death. Steve took his hand as they began their trek up the hill, lacing their fingers together. He laid out the blanket and patted the spot next to him, unloading the basket in front of him.

"I swear to God, if you have wine in there, I will kill you," Eddie said.

"What happens to me if I have beer?" Steve asked.

"You'll get this," Eddie said, placing a lingering kiss on his cheek. "What else you got in there, Stevie Poppins?"

"I have these!" Steve exclaimed as whipped out a couple of sandwiches.

"Peanut butter and bananas!" He exclaimed with a gasp. "My favorite! However did you know?"

"I may have called your uncle. I was super casual because I wasn't sure if -," Steve trailed off.

"My uncle knows that I'm gay, Steve," Eddie replied. "And he knows about you because that's all I would talk about when you asked me out. And that's so fucking cute that you called my uncle to ask about my favorite sandwiches. Gah!"

Eddie unwrapped his sandwich and began to eat. They ate in silence as they watched the stars in the sky. Every so often, Steve would look at Eddie. He was currently trying to get a piece of banana off his face with his tongue. Eddie would move his head back as he whipped his tongue against his cheek and attempted to get it without using his hands. When Eddie finally got it, he let out a whoop and went back to eating his sandwich. Steve couldn't help but think about how cute this man was and how that was such a strange thought. After a while, they finished their food and turned to each other.

"Dustin told me that you like the Hobbit and that you've read it so much that you could probably reenact it by yourself. Did you, I don't know, want to do it for me?" Steve asked.

Eddie gaped at him, getting on his knees.

"Are you asking me for a reenactment of the Hobbit?" Eddie asked and Steve nodded.

Eddie launched himself at Steve and kissed him. He had thrown his entire body on top of Steve’s, kissing him hard and fast. It was over before Steve could return it. Yeah, Steve had definitely liked that. He opened his mouth to speak, but Eddie had jumped up to begin his reenactment. Steve was immediately enraptured in the story, especially with the way Eddie told it. Steve loved it when he did the voices, and he loved the way his hips moved. He couldn't help but watch his lips as he talked, and he realized how much he's done that before the date. The more he thought about it, the more he realized how much he's watched Eddie. All these dates he's been going on, the reason they didn't work out was because he's been unknowingly looking for Eddie. The metalhead eventually finished the story and sprawled out on the blanket beside Steve.

"So, what did you think?" Eddie asked, sipping his beer.

"I really loved it, I can see why the kids do too," Steve said. "I love the way you tell it."

"Yeah?" Eddie asked, blushing.

Steve moved closer to him, laying on his side, and placed a hand on Eddie's hip as he placed half of his body on top of Eddie's.

"Yeah," Steve said softly.

Steve leaned down and captured Eddie's lips with his. His lips were as soft as he thought they would be. . . nice and plump. He took Eddie's bottom lip and started to gently suck on it. He smiled when he felt Eddie groan against his mouth. Eddie grabbed his hips roughly and pulled Steve completely on top of him, making Steve straddle his waist. He rocked his hips against Eddie's, causing a loud moan to erupt from the metalhead. His mouth opened, allowing Steve to slip his tongue inside while continuing to grind his jeans against Eddie's. Steve wasn't sure he'd be able to last. He was going to combust. It was Eddie that had broken the kiss.

"Steve, you should know that I am not a slut and I do not put out on the first date," Eddie told him, breathlessly.

"Yeah, me neither," Steve scoffed. "Those were just rumors."

"But I would totally be a slut for you, Stevie, if you wanted me to," Eddie replied. "I came prepared. Just in case."

"That depends. Do you want to be my little slut, baby?" Steve asked and moved against him again.

"Fuck, yes. . .Daddy, please."

A few moments later, not putting out on the first date was no longer true for either one of them. Both of them were stripped naked with Eddie on his hands and knees while Steve was busy pounding away behind him. Eddie had been nervous at first because - holy shit, he wasn't sure that Steve would fit. However, Steve fit so well inside of him that Eddie never wanted him to leave. They both knew the risks they were taking by fucking out in the open like this but that was the part that also made it so exciting. The stars were twinkling beautifully in the sky, and the cool night air felt great against their now sweaty skin. Steve let go inside of the condom while Eddie came undone onto the picnic blanket he had been gripping in his fists.

"Shit, sorry about your blanket," Eddie said.

"It can be washed, Eddie," Steve asked, chuckling.

They collapsed their naked bodies onto the blanket, breathing heavily.

"We should probably get dressed," Eddie said with a giggle and Steve giggled with them.

They laid there for a while, with Eddie curled up on Steve’s chest as they looked up at the stars. Steve was rubbing Eddie's back and arms in a soothing manner, occasionally reaching down to squeeze Eddie's butt causing the other man to squeak everytime.

"So, Steve Harrington's an ass man, that's good to know," Eddie giggled.

They could have stayed like that forever, but it eventually grew a little too cold, and they had to get dressed. They packed up the picnic and went back to Steve’s car. Steve went to turn on the car but stopped and sat back, turning to Eddie.

"Uh, I am going to say something, and it's not bad, I swear. It's just going to sound bad because I'm really bad with words and shit. I just want to tell you how much this date means to me and explain some things. Can you please just let me say all this and not say a word until I'm finished, okay?" Steve asked nervously.

"Okay," Eddie said softly.

Steve told him about all the dates he had been on and how they were not going anywhere. He told him about he had thought it had meant that he was still hung up on Nancy, thanks to Eddie's conversation. When he told him what he asked of Robin, Steve nearly lost him on that one.

"I started to get to know you, Eddie, like really know you. I thought, somewhere in the back of my mind that if I let my feelings for you in, it would be really scary because it was bad enough that my heart had gotten broken by Nancy but I don't think I could have handled being heartbroken by you. I never felt this way way about anyone before, and I thought for sure that it would be scary. I let those feelings in today, though, and turns out: liking you is not so scary," Steve said.

Eddie sniffled and cupped his cheek, tears pooling in his eyes.

"Oh, baby, you have no idea how scared I was, too, not knowing if you felt the same way that I did. It wasn't just that, either. It's the fact that I have feelings for Steve Harrington that was too hard to believe. I mean, not only are you blindingly beautiful on the outside, but you are equally beautiful on the inside. You are like an angel, and I swear that I will spend every day worshipping your body along with worshipping this. Praise Satan," Eddie said with a grin and placed a hand over Steve's heart.

Steve laughed, sniffling, and pulled Eddie into a sweet kiss.

"Does this mean you're my boyfriend?" Steve asked.

"Damn straight, I'm your boyfriend," Eddie replied.

A few days later, they told Robin just how well the date had gone while over at Steve's place.

"I can't believe you guys put out on the first date," Robin said with a shake of her head, and she said the next part with great affection. "Whores."
