"ーma. I don't know."

"Well, we all don't know. And c'mon, she's pregnant. We have to be present in her life in these times. She's alone."

"She's not. That motherfucker will be right there with her any day now."

"And the other one."

"Not the other one."

"If you could be so kind with him."

"I just wish they'll kill the biggest motherfucker ever existed."

You're staring at the vast table that's lining this book café in the university. It's not crowded in this time of day, still got some vacant seats elsewhere, but not directly next to you.

You tried to sleep again when you noticed your phone died and the humming music in your headphones got silenced, but, for the love of God, how? Muffled conversations is all you could hear. You tried not to groan in frustration.

"Akaashi's visiting this weekend, are you really gonna pass?"

You also waited for the other one with the muffled voice to answer to maybe put an end to your over reacting misery. But it never came. Right. Keep that silence and never talk again. Your head is still turned away from them, resting on an opened french book. You didn't read it, you don't even know much about french, you just love how it smells it lulls you to sleep. Yes, your kind of pillow.

Shufflings that came from things being dumped to a bag and minimum volume of a game you once played with your brother over the few months sounded. And Lo! Silence! The last you heard from the man next to you before you went back to your dreamland wasー

"Don't I really have a chance, Kenma?"

It was raining when Kuroo walks out of the university and onto the bus stop. The transparent umbrellaーone which she had left and forgotten in Nekoma's gym from the last Training Campーwas somehow relaxing to watch. The droplets make a hurried plop sound and it slides to the sides, hang on the silver tips and falls to the already wet pavement. He occassionally stares at it as he walks.

Then he heard some heavy books fall in the other side of the pavement, near the bicycle parking area. He turned to your unsuspecting figure that's too messy on picking the scattered, and now wet, books. Your bag threatening to give up on your shoulder too. He just stares at your back for a second or two and walked on, fearing he might miss his bus if he would help you. Also ignoring the fact that he somehow remembers that same long light blonde hair from the university book café three days ago.

"Why is this wet, Y/n?" the attendant on the book café grumpily asked you as you returned the books you borrowed. You frowned as you recounted to him yesterday at the sidewalk just by the bus stop. "You have to pay for the damages."

Your jaw dropped. "But no pages were torn." Your frown deepened when he dismissed you with a tab you have to pay before exiting the book café, or you have to face extra payments in your tuition. Ugh.

You grouchingly made your way to your spot. The book café is strategically situated at the center of a cross road in the university and your favorite spot is facing a part where students rarely pass by, it's peaceful with all the trees fresh to spring forth leaves.

Then you saw a raven-black haired man in your spot. Your frown deepened just a little more you can feel almost wrinkles automatically appearing in your face. Not your day, huh?

His face is turned to your side. He's not especially handsome but he's sort ofーwellーfanciable, at the least. But not your type. Definitely. You grimaced and plopped your things gently to his side, a chair away, not giving up the serenity this spot has to offer. But still grumbling because that grumpy attendant has banned you on the books until you pay up. Grr. You put your headphones on and decided to rest your eyes.

You woke up to the sound of soft dings. You peered and accidentally caught a glimpse of his lockscreen. A golden-haired girl next to his beaming figure. And the screen darkened just as fast. You couldn't care less but that woke you up real bad, your head started to throb.

You were grimacing and finding a perfect angle to rest your head against your arms but to no avail. It was until you tilted your head to his direction again. He's facing you right now and snoring. You softly snorted and somehow, to the soft hum of his snoring and music on your discarded headphones now hanging on your neck, you found yourself closing your eyes.

Kuroo jolted at a tiny pull on his hair and he looked up to find Kenma. "I have been texting you for two hours already."

Kuroo groaned and put his stuff back on his bag, finding a note with his notebook. I like it when you sleep, so adorable but unaware of it. You look so peaceful.

"If I haven't gone hereー"

Kuroo shoved all of his things, note included, to his bag and slung it on his shoulders, wrinkling the fabric of his sweater. "Sorry. Sorry. Let's go."

"Y/n, go with me to this wedding in Miyagi please? It's in 3 weeks."

Your nose scrunched up when you read your brother's message that weekend morning. You yawned as you dialed his number.

"Please! It's my friend's wedding."

"But why do you have to bring someone?" Geez.

"Well, everyone I'm close with are bringing dates."

"Then bring your girlfriend!" Ugh.

"I don't have one! No more of this. You're coming with me!"

And he fucking hanged up on you. Miyagi's 2 hours away. What the hell is he thinking? You rolled your eyes as you took a shower to start your day and classes is in an hour. You'll definitely gonna be late.

The hall was packed already when you arrived. This is a new class you just enrolled in because you just realized this is a prerequisite to that one major next semester. Blockmates are not as kind as you think, if being new to the place is still not as inconvenient.

Your eyes flew to an empty seat at the back. Next to that same raven-black hair in the book café. His eyes were dead straight to the professor and writing stuffs as he goes on with the lecture, thankfully ignoring you as you bend down trying to be obscure. He didn't spare you a glance when you sat next to him, just a subtle drag of his scattered notes out of your space. And you ignored it.

Cold.

But you were surprised when he hurriedly came pass you out of the book café that afternoon. He was all smiles and seemingly excited for something. You looked back to where he is going. And you saw her. The same golden-haired girl in his lockscreen running to meet his open arms.

"Tetsuuu! I missed youu!"

"Hey! Don't run!"

She jumped to his arms to where he spinned as he catches her, hugging her tight, brows all up above his closed eyes, face snuggling in her neck. You saw how his hug tightened as the second passed by, brows furrowing and you have to go on in the book café because of the weird feeling you had harbored in that scene.

The day you gave up a day in your favorite spot is the day you sat by the entrance and see how his face changes as he talks to the sunshine girl that has her waist carefully held by another man standing beside her. You saw Kuroo's face under his mask.

"Don't I really have a chance, Kenma?"

A voice rang loudly as you watch him watch the couple in front of him.

Kuroo's mind was swarming with lots and lots of thoughts. Mostly from what his friend said about his wedding. Wedding. He felt like he's tearing up. What a weak man he is. He just wants to storm outside the lecture hall and go straight home or anywhere else where he can scream his lungs out. His thighs are popping under the long line of desk, his fist resting on it as it bounces up.

"Lemme answer that, sir!"

"Okay, Miss Y/n. Mr. Kuroo is somehow not in my class right now."

He closed his eyes in realization that he was called a few times, and that a girl, you who is sitting rows away from him, saved him from half of the embarassment. C'mon, Kuroo. Focus. Head on the lecture.

Friday came and your brother was already nudging you to pack your things for both of you will be in a train in two hours. That Miyagi wedding is a hassle but you can't ditch your brother when he's being too cute in front of you now.

"So who is this friend that's getting married?"

He grinned in his seat and pulled out his phone. "She's my crush way back first year." Your brows shot up at his confession as he shoves his phone to your face. "Isn't she pretty? Her name is Tsukishima Ran. Well, tomorrow, she'll bear a new family name."

Your face went cold when you saw the bride-to-be. Your eyes travelled to your brother so slow and flickered back to his screen. "Y-yeah, she's really pretty."

You should've asked him before you sat on that bloody train to Miyagi. Now, you wonder what to do to avoid people. You felt your breath hitched as you realize you'll see him again, now out of the university walls.

The walk to the stunning venue was unnerving. The men were in black and the women are in either gray or white. You padded the white fabric against your skin and turned to your brother. "You look scared Y/n." He took your hand to his arm for you to cling to. "You want to poop?"

"Idiot." You hissed and pinched his arm to where he flinched and laughed as he ushered you to a table full of his volleyball friends.

You took a deep breath and act insignificant, dying to ignore the stares of a blond-hair-with-black-roots man across the table. You restricted your eyes to your phone, to your space in the table and to your brother's face. You badly want to end the night fast.

"Ran-chan! Well, you'd still be myーourーRan-chan even if you're married to that fucker. I'd still be your knight in shining armor whenever you need me, will always be available, but not on changing diapers okay? That's someone else's job."

"Who is that someone else?"

"Her fucking bestfriend, who else!"

Your head perked up when laughs were roaring throughout the venue as a man from the nearby table raised his middle finger to Kuroo, of which he kindly returned.

"In all seriousnessー" That stare he gave to the bride sent shivers to you, it made you want to run away.

"ーI'll still protect you and the ones you love with my life. That's how you both are special to me. And to that small one in your tummy right now.." He trailed his eyes to the groom that's still beaming throughout his friend's unsuspecting confession.

"He'll have the bestest dad ever, and the coolest uncle and a bunch of extra shitbag uncles. Best wishes to the both of you. Be happy now."

Kuroo wasn't supposed to say those words aloud. He wasn't supposed to. He was dead-set on keeping his feelings under control but seeing her in her wedding dress with his friend next to her, he lost it. Now he's desperately trying to find a peaceful place away from the venue to rant out, beer on one hand, loosened necktie dangled around his disheveled polo.

And you found him hunched on one of the small round pavillions away from the venue. He was sobbing real hard when you silently walked up to him. The ice came in contact with sunshine and it melted, drowning you too in the process. You pursed your lips and sat quietly two spaces away from him. That moment you held with him was suspiciously your solace from all else that's bothering you right now. His sobs, heaves, whimpers and shuffles, trying to wipe his snotty nose in his slacks. He might've noticed you but chose to ignore, like what he has been doing for the past two months.

He must really love the bride. To the point where he has no choice but to put down his mask like this. You hummed and rested your back on the wooden rails that's encasing the pavillion, careful not to make much noise, careful not to watch him cry his heart out. You closed your eyes, enveloping yourself with the sound of cries from a heartbroken Kuroo Tetsurou.

It seemed like an hour or two before Kuroo stopped crying, the can of beer crumpled on his bloodied hand. He felt his legs cramped as he stretched out and caught a hand next to him. He breathed heavy and out as he brushed the back of your hand with his thumb and looked up at your peaceful, angel face.

He's not an idiot to not know you're around. He just chooses to ignore you to not pass the pain. And he can't, he's still too in love with Ran. He's too in love with her to pay attention to others poking on him. And so, he walked away without waking you up.

Years had passed and you found yourself in his proximity again. Well, you applied at the Japan's Volleyball Association on the sole purpose of indulging what your brother loves, and now you learned to love too. Never did you know it's also his field.

Wait. Who were you kidding?

You still remember the thing Kenmaーthe blonde hair with black roots guy from that weddingーsaid to you after you woke up alone in that pavillion.

"It's better if you stay away, Y/n."

You were still shocked about how he knows your name. And if this is what it is, then Kuroo knows your name too? Is that it?

"He's dead-set on Ran right now, and maybe for a few years. He'll never be ready. I know him. When he's into something, he's going all out."

You remembered what Kuroo said in his message a while ago. "If he's gonna protect her and her loved ones, then who's gonna protect him if I avoid him now?" You smiled. "It's okay. I'm not asking for reciprocation. This is not business anyway."

Then you left Kenma dumbfounded.

You didn't know when did you start falling for Kuroo. Nor know why are you acting like the situation's okay with you. You just know that you're at peace when you see him. Just seeing him breathing and comfortable is okay.

Through the years, you started to do things to make him comfortable in every littlest way. To making him coffee when he's out cold on his desk during a night-shift, to the simple saves you did just to ease his way out of a situation, to that bento you bought him once when he forgot to buy his lunch, to volunteering to cover his shift when Ran's twins needs him for something, to rigging the Christmas raffle to let him win the vacation package.

All those were subtle. And you're comfortable with it. At least, he's happy with it.

Over the years, much to his displeasure, he is still in love with Ran. He has fully accepted that he can't be that person whom she will love, and naively thinks that acceptance itself will make him move on. Oh how wrong is he. Now, he's suffering from your little gestures of appreciations and love.

If he just fell out of love with Ran, he'll gladly turn to you. If he just forced his way to you, he'll gladly hold you in his arms even if you're both hurting. If he's just brave enough to drag you into his life, he'll kiss you breathless. But he won't, and he can't. Coz he loves someone else.

And how bad was it for him when that day came on both of you. Him, holding you in his flailing arms, tears coming down his cheeks and trying to grip your hand to a note from years ago you thought he discarded, returning it to you but the thought's so reversed now. Kenma's words ringing in his ears as he stares at you.

"If you're gonna protect her and her loved ones, who's gonna protect you if she's not around. She said something like that. And you don't have to reciprocate what she gives, she added. She's too pure for your dumb ass but let her love you, Kuroo."

You just made an irreversible sacrifice. And he's gonna regret this for the rest of his life. Well, it's not so long before that too. Kuroo smiled through his tears and he kissed you so earnestly, the kiss he should've given you in that pavillion, or when you saved him from the professor's questions, or when you stared at him getting broken with the wedding news from his friends, or when you walked up to his side on that certain class, or when he saw you getting stumped with so much books under the rain.

He should've done this kiss to you a long time ago, instead of waiting for it from another. He wasted so much time.

Astrid vs A Few Loose Ends

Rocking up to the Waning Moon

Shadowheart: All right. Maybe getting that evidence for He Who Was might maybe kind of start making up for the whole ... thing in the Shadowfell and-- whaaaaaaaaaaaaat the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck...?

Thisobald Thorm: *is one big horrific Harkonnen-meets-illithid-looking motherfucker who's apparently about to burst if he puts one more thing in his body*

Astrid: *bellies up to the bar*

Thisobald Thorm: *plunks a mug of some vile concoction in front of Astrid* DRINK. THEN TELL TALES.

Shadowheart; Gale; Wyll: *look on in absolute fucking horror*

Gale: I ... I know she's feeling awful about ... recent events, but she ... she wouldn't really drink that...

Shadowheart: She ... she can't. I mean ... what it did to the people in here...

Wyll: It's nice when I'm calmer about this sort of thing than you all.

Astrid: *lifts mug to her lips*

Gale; Shadowheart: *staaaare at Wyll*

Wyll: Just ... wait.

Astrid: Right. You wanted a story of our adventures. Ahem. *to the tune of "Luka"* My name is Astrid / I'm a bard extraordinaire / Got caught by illithids / Which was just completely unfair / Now something in my head will squirm / Some kind of tadpole; some kind of worm / Just don't ask me what it is / Don't wanna know just what is is / But finding out just / what it is...

Thisobald Thorm: *chugs; starts leaking* DRINK. MORE.

Gale: Oh for fuck's sake--

Shadowheart: Why are we not stopping this?!?

Wyll: Again ... just ... wait.

Astrid: *lifts mug to her lips again; carries on with the song* Maybe it's because I'm lucky / Got to be these heroes' friend / Maybe it's because they're crazy / But they're with me to the end / They've got my back until I die / Your family left; you should ask why / Malus won't come 'round no more / No Balthazar here anymore / You don't see Ketherick anymore... *lute solo*

Thisobald Thorm: *chugs; starts leaking harder* YES. KETHERICK MAKES SHADOWS. MORE!

Wyll: *now standing blocking Shadowheart and Gale from interfering*

Astrid: *lifts mug to lips one more time; continues* I think we'll be okay / We're all tough; we've come so far / We've had so much to endure / And I promise now we'll find a cure / We'll be just fine / We won't go splat / Bet you wish you were like that / But you're going to explode / You fucking patron-tainting chode / Guess I'll watch ... as you explode.

Thisobald Thorm: WAIT. WUT. NO. I REMEMBER ABOUT YOU. YOU--

Astrid: *ducks behind bar*

Thisobald Thorm: *explodes*

Astrid: ...Okay I was lying about the watching but it'd take days to get viscera out of my hair.

Gale: Are you all right?!? What was that stuff?!? Shadowheart, is there a restoration spell in your arsenal that might-- *pauses* ...Wait. What's this puddle?

Astrid: You didn't think I was drinking that swill, did you? I do that with substandard beer at taverns when patrons are trying to get me drunk enough to get me into bed; I'm pretty practiced at it. Also he only had one good eye to keep on me so it was pretty easy.

Gale; Shadowheart: *staaaaaaare at Wyll some more*

Wyll: It might have given the game away if I'd said anything! Now let's look for that evidence and let's go.

Astrid: *already looting the place* THIS PLACE IS MADE OF POTION INGREDIENTS! SCORE!

Corrupted Actor: *not sounding entirely with it* Bravo! Encore!

Wyll: He a bit confused, but he got the spirit.

Gale: I'll just ... be glad she's smiling again.

Waaaaaay back in the woods around the Last Light

He Who Was: Good. Now. PUNISH HER.

Astrid: Sheeee's ... still kind of dead and I know we can speak to her but I can't cause her physical pain or anything--

He Who Walks: *channels Madeline* I didn't mean to! I was too scared of the Justiciar not to report everything like she said and she promised she was just going to talk to them and then she made them kill each other oh this is all my fault and I'd do anything to take it back and--

Astrid: *siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh* There is no taking it back, but I understand about fear making us do ... unfortunate things. Your Justiciar broke her word to you; she's the one at fault, not you.

He Who Was: *shaking off Madeline* YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PUNISH HER! DIE!

Raven: *pecks at Astrid's eyes*

Wyll: Oh you ASSHOLE! *Eldritch Blasts Raven*

Raven: *is very very dead*

Astrid: Blood in my eyes -- oh well I'll just have to do something that doesn't require me being able to see... *dive-bombs a 3rd level Thunderwave*

He Who Was: *goes flying*

Astrid: *hits him in the head with the pommel of her sword*

He Who Was: *is unconscious*

Astrid: Okay, we're done here. Let's go wake up our Harper.

Gale: *very quietly* ...ignis...

He Who Was: *is now way more than unconscious*

Shadowheart; Wyll: *staaaaaaaare*

Gale: I did not want him coming back and messing with her-- I mean us anymore. ...Okay no I meant her; she's been through enough.

Shadowheart; Wyll: *ponder that, then shrug in a 'yeah, fair enough' sort of way*

And back at the Last Light

Isobel: What. The fuck?

Astrid: Oh, the light streaking across the sky? That was the Nightsong. She piiiiiiiissed.

Isobel: All right. Fine. We have to end this.

Astrid: Okay, just one thing. *goes and wakes up Art Cullagh*

Art Cullagh: We have to find Thaniel! He's the key to lifting the curse! ...You wouldn't happen to know a Halsin, would you?

Astrid: ......Okay, maybe not just one more thing. HALSIN!

Halsin: All right; where did you last see him?

Art Cullagh: ...Shadowfell. Place smelled like lavender.

Halsin: All right. Astrid. Please come with me; companions too. It's liable to be dangerous.

Astrid: ...Okay, really not just one more thing.

[clever-and-unique-name]

Its very hard to not say ALLLL

But hmmm tell me aboutt 1, 5 andd 20!

you know we'd tell you anything abt anyone <33

1: Abel sheeee's miss gets it done, miss plans for everything possible, miss stone faced extreme executive function. the times she does burn out, things get very uneasy for us, bc she's so reliable n capable all other times. magnolias are her favorite flower bc they're elegant and simple, but also bc she first remembered hearing abt them in the context of a "steel magnolia" which is apparently someone who's both feminine and resilient? even though her aesthetic leans slightly more masc she's still plenty feminine to us, idk gender's weird but that's why she likes magnolias

5: Iris again! iris was mostly involved with rei, kestrel, and astrid (slightly less for astrid.) originally she was a white wolf with blue eyes, the opposite of mal's black wolf with gold eyes. then she was an arrogant xenophobic angel. then an ambiguous shapeshifter like mal, but she rarely ever changed shape. she's always been muuuuch more rigid than him, that's always been her Thing, to be an unmoving anchor to hold on to in the worst storms

20: Rue (white) the white rue (as we're calling her publicly, you can probs guess which one she is u u) is the innermost rue, the one underneath the mistrustful layers and hardened shields. she has very very strong emotional responses to things, holds trauma that even the other rues are unaware of. all the rues have slightly different metaphorical quirks inside; the white rue has ones that point to her being more fragile and easily hurt than the others. she has a very very hard time making words, when she's triggered out she tends to cover our mouth with her hands

Kuroo - Shy

Kuroo x Karauso Manager

Request:

Words count: 2.3k

A/N: that’s my first haikyuu scenario so pleaseeee don’t be too harsh to me lmao. I don’t know how to make hcs so I opted for the scenario hoping you don’t mind it. Also sorry for any mistake, english isn’t my first language.

You are Karasuno’s third manager, recruited by Kiyoko to help Yachi for the next year since you are a second year and already know how everything works.

All the team arrives to Tokyo for the summer training camp. This is your first time here since you joined the team a little later. Every Karasuno boy seems to be already friend with the Nekoma team, who was there waiting for you all to arrive.

“T-Tanaka...w-why is there a third girl nowwww???” Yamamoto Taketora says pointing at you. You already know each of their names since you tried to study their games to not show up here unprepared.

“She’s cuteeee, isn’t sheeee???” Tanaka says squishing your cheeks with his hand and showing you to the weird hair boy. This to receive a head smack from Kiyoko.

As you enter the gymnasium you could already recognise most of the biggest players there. One of them Kuroo Tetsuro, captain and middle blocker of Nekoma, who you didn’t even notice he actually was with your captain since you arrived. He turns and face you when you notice you’ve been staring at him all this time. With a blush forming on your face you turn away really fast, hoping he didn’t notice you.

“Why are you staring at Bokuto now? Are you so into captains?” someone whispers to you. You turn fast just to see Kuroo’s face right in front of yours, only a few centimetres apart. Flustered at how close he is you panic and start backing away. Kuroo grabs your wrist and pulls you back towards him, making you crash against his chest.

“Be careful, you were about to step into the court. Bokuto could have forgiven you for interrupting but I don’t know about the others” he smirks at you.

He’s beautiful and hot. With his beautiful brown eyes and his smirk he’s a total tease, one you couldn’t resist much. You step back from his embrace and walk away towards Yamaguchi who offered you a calming smile.

“She doesn’t talk much, does she?” Kuroo asks to no one in particular receiving a nod from a smiling Daichi, “she’s just really shy, she opens up a little after she starts being comfortable”.

During the first matches you find it hard to concentrate as you turn every minute to watch the Nekoma team. Sometimes you could even catch the tall captain looking at you, and each time you see him turning away with one of his best smirk to continue playing.

Finally the match you were waiting to see.

Karasuno vs Nekoma.

Before the start of the game you watch Hinata talking with the Russian tall boy, kinda studying him since you didn’t know much about.

“Now you’re staring at our Lev. I guess you’re attracted to tall boys then”

You jump and turn fast to face the boy at your side who was looking at the two boys as well with a big smile before turning to face you back.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you”

“Then stop appearing like this next to me all the times” you say kinda regretting it really fast and looking away.

“So she does talk. And she even has a beautiful voice...it really fits you” he says looking at the court without moving from your side.

“Yeah, I talk” you says kinda offended by his words, leaving him there alone. He starts to reach for you again and stops when Kenma calls for him. After the match ends you leave really fast without giving to Kuroo the time to approach you again.

Later that night.

Everyone started to go taking a shower and then rest up for the upcoming day of more training. You were walking around the campus(?) as you see one of the unused gymnasium with the lights on. You walk towards it and stop at the door once you notice Tsukishima.

“Hey Tsukki, what are you doing here at this hou—“ you say and stop mid sentence as soon as you notice he’s not alone.

“He is playing a match with me, do you need him?” Kuroo says appearing in front of you, making you blush once again. You shake your head and start leaving when a overjoyed Bokuto stops you at the door, “why don’t you stay and watch us a little bit?? You could be my cheerleader” he says pouting with his firm hands on your shoulders.

“Okay, I’ll stay” you say walking at the side of the court.

After ten points you sigh loudly making everyone turn towards you confused, “Tsukki, follow the ball and don’t jump too fast. When you jump don’t put your hands like this but try put them more like..this. You should pay attention to your teammates too. You’re playing with Kuroo right now, you should have already understood his game, so try to fit in it at your best”.

Tsukishima nods at you, ready to start playing again but found the other boys not as ready as they’re staring open mouthed at you.

“You really left them both speechless, it might be a miracle..you should come here more often” Akaashi tells you and then go back to his spot ready to play.

“Can you play?” Kuroo asks you making you turn to run away before you notice the small orange haired boy in front of you.

“COULD I PLEASE JOIN IN TOO?” he says stepping in front of you.

Kuroo steps between the two of you putting his hands on yours and Hinata’s shoulders, “that’s a perfect timing, y/n was about to join us too and we just needed a third person for Bokuto’s team”

“So I’m playing against both Tsukishima and y/n....be ready, I’ll win!” he says surpassing you and going at his spot.

You don’t move and see Kuroo getting his face closer, “seems like you have to play now. Don’t worry, if you need help I’ll be there”

“I won’t need your help” you say walking confident towards Tsukishima, leaving Kuroo smirking at you.

After the match ends everyone goes grab their water bottles, leaving you panting there alone while sitting on the floor.

“You probably didn’t bring your water bottle with you thinking you would play so much” you hear a now familiar voice approaching you.

He sits at your side and extends his bottle to you, “take mine, looks like you need it”.

You roll your eyes and take it just to drink half of it and give the rest back to him, “it’s been a long time since I last played, sorry if we lost”.

“No need to apologise. Honestly it seems like you play everyday though. You...you played really well. I’m really impressed” he says making you turn away to hide your red face. He felt his cheeks hot as well as he watched you and suddenly starts drinking the water you left to hide it.

“I SAW IT!!! I SAW EVERYTHING!!!” Hinata screams running to the two of you making everyone in the room curious about what was going on.

“What did you see Chibi-San?” Kuroo asks him trying to hide the worry of being caught on his red cheeks.

“IT WAS A KISS!!! YOU TWO KISSED!!!” he keeps pointing at you and Kuroo with both his hands.

“W-what?? When???” Bokuto asks happily joining Hinata’s side.

“HE DRANK FROM HER WATER BOTTLE..THEY HAD AN INDIRECT KISS”

Everyone turns towards the short boy as if he just ruined a party.

“wow you really are that stupid” Tsukishima says to Hinata and offering you his hand to help you stand up. You accept his help, wish everyone a good night and leave. You can hear footsteps behind you so you stop and turn to face Kuroo.

“Do you need something?” you ask.

“I just wanted to apologise to you” he says getting closer to you.

“About what exactly?” you ask confused.

“For what I said about your voice. It was pretty rude from me to talk like that. I mean..your voice is beautiful for real but...I shouldn’t have said it like that.”

“I accept your apologies. Do you need something else, or can I go now?”

He shakes his head and you start walking away for the second time.

“W-wait” he stops you again, “is Tsukishima.....your....yeah you know...your boyfriend?”

“I’m leaving” you says walking aways from him as you feel like your face is about to explode.

The next days you didn’t even notice but you and Kuroo started being closer making you feel more comfortable around him, even tho you still get red and shy every time he teases you with his innumerable smirks.

You are eating your watermelon with Yachi and Kiyoko when a tall figure covers you from the sunlight.

“Hey y/n, I saw you were enjoying your watermelon so I stole some more for you from Bokuto” you smile accepting the fruit.

He sits next to you and just now you notice the other two girls left you alone with him. You start looking around for them and Kuroo follows you.

“Looking for someone in particular? If so Tsukishima left already”

“I told you he’s not my boyfriend. I just happened to befriend him, he isn’t as difficult as he acts like” you say finishing your second piece of watermelon.

“I was joking. It’s because you look cute when you get angry so I can’t stop myself from teasing you” he smirks leaving you to go back into the gym.

It’s the last day of training and then you’ll leave with your team to go back home.

“You should make it less obvious that you like that girl” Kenma says to his friend, catching him staring at you talking to Suga with a soft smile on.

“Oh, is it really that obvious? Do you think she noticed??” he asks panicking.

“Yeah, you really can’t hide it. I think everyone noticed it” Yaku says approaching the two friends with the rest of the team following.

“Everyone but her, I think she’s the only one who didn’t notice” Kai says making Kuroo sigh of relief.

“Y/N, keep smiling and pretend we are having a funny conversation, but why is all the Nekoma team staring at us?” Suga asks you while nodding and faking a smile to mask his flustered face.

You suddenly turn around to face the boys and they all (except Kenma and Kuroo) start blushing and looking around as if to pretend they weren’t just starting and talking at your back. You look confused at Kuroo and you notice his blush as he walks towards you.

“Why is everyone staring?” you ask him while eyeing the team at his back.

“Oh no, they’re not sta—“ he says turning around and stops the sentence as soon as he notices the team was indeed keep staring again at the two of you.

“Don’t mind them, they’re just making fun of me” he says putting his hands up behind his neck.

“Making fun about what exactly?”

“Just because I like...Sugawara hair colour. They’re saying I would look ugly and old with it” he smile nervously.

“I see..but I don’t think you would look ugly, that’s impossible to happen”

“Are you saying I’m beautiful?” he asks you with a shocked face as he wasn’t expecting that at all.

You nods and turn around putting all the things as water bottles etc in a bag.

“So...you’re leaving, right?” he asks passing you a phone.

“Whose phone is this? Who can forget a phone here now?” you watch the phone curiously.

“Uhm it’s my phone y/n”

“What do I have to do with it?”

“You can put your phone number in it. So we can message and talk sometimes, you know..”

“Oh sure then” you put your numbers in it and give it back to him with a big smile, “thank you for those days”

“Why are you thanking me, I did nothing special”

“You know, I was scared to come here” you say sitting on the bench followed by him, and admiring the now empty gymnasium you continue, “it’s not like I don’t like being with my team, but I felt scared I would have felt lonely since everything was so new to me. But then you started teasing me and even tho I hated it at first you actually made me feel more comfortable later. So thank you for making me enjoy this experience at its fullest”.

Suddenly he hugs you and even tho you’re shocked at first you hugs him back. You will miss seeing him everyday.

“I like you y/n”, four words, just four words making your heart beat faster than ever.

You break your hug and are about to say something when you both turn at the door to see an out of breath Yamaguchi.

“Y/N you’re here...I couldn’t find you. They’re about to leave us here if we don’t hurry up,” he takes the bag that was next to you and start walking away, “let’s go now, we don’t have time, I’m really sorry”

“I’m coming” you say following him and then stopping at the door to turn to face Kuroo again with a big smile, “send me a message so I can save your number too”

You wave at him and leave. As soon as you step outside you hear your phone notification and see Kuroo has sent you a message with an heart. Your smile fade away, making you stop and run back at the door of the gym.

Kuroo is still looking at the phone with a sad smile.

“Kuroo,” you call him and he turns fast to face you confused, “I like you too”

Siri meets melody (ft @qualityfunnyscenariosfire 's oc melody)

Siri was out on her walk, looking for a deer for ammit. Since it was their favorite food.

She was currently in a deeper part of the woods, with her and ammits house being about 2 miles away. However, there was this strange research lab nearby, that supposedly makes animal human hybrids, but she didnt really beleive that.

"Dammit. There are way to many scents out here for me sniff out a deer." She said

Melody was running through the forest, gasping and whimpering. She walks over this fallen dead tree that was like a bridge over a small lake.

"They're gone. Finally." She says, walking through some bushes. She sees a lady in the distance, who was sniffing around in some bushes.

Melody slowly ventures in the bushes, her scent getting strong. She pops out of one, being eye to eye with the lady

"Ep! W-Wrong bush" she squeaks, quickly moving back into bush

Siri is surprised to see a pair of eyes look at her from the bush, and then disappear. She then hears a startled squeak, and she says, "ummm, is anyone there?" She doesnt get a response, so she decides she just gonna look inside the bush.

She finds a young usagi girl (a usagi is basically a human with rabbit ears) sitting in the bush. The girl looks very scared, and let's out a startled squeak, and raises her hands defensively. "P-p-please dont hurt me ma'am!" She says

"I'm not going to hurt you little one! could you come out of that bush for me?" Siri says.

"B-but how do I know I can trust you not to hurt me?" the girl said.

"Well, I havent hurt you yet, and if I was going to hurt you, I would have done so by now."

"O-ok" the girl says and she gets up. She was a young usagi girl, with long white hair,and wearing a adorable dress. "My-my name is melody by the way."

"Well, that's a rather cute name! My name is sirius, but you can call me siri!" Siri says

In the distance siri hears a stick snap, and so does melody.

"Did you hear that?" Melody says worriedly

"Mhm. Just stay with me. I dont think were alone out here...."

Just then siri hears something running at them from behind, but before she could react she was flung into a nearby tree.

She looks up, and sees that its a wendigo. And its grabbed melody, and has started to lift her up

"H-HELP!!!" Melody screams as the wendigo bites her leg, presumably to taste her.

"Dont touch her you bastard!" siri yells as she runs towards the wendigo, and punches it in the face, sending it flying, making the wendigo drop melody.

"Melody, are you ok!" Siri says

"N-no. It bit my leg, and now its hurt pretty bad."

"Ok. I'm gonna go deal with that beast!" She says, just as the wendigo gets up.

She runs forward yet again, unsheathed one of her swords, and then prepares to fight it.

The wendigo tries to strike her but she slides under its hand, springs up and hits a horizontal slice from its right shoulder to its heart, killing it instantly. She then lights it on fire.

She walks back over to melody, and examines her wound. "Man, it damaged you pretty bad. The wound goes deep enough to were I can see your bone." Siri says worriedly. She knows what she has to do, but she doesnt want to lose her trust.

"Melody. I have to ask you something. Do you trust me?" Siri says very sternly.

"I-I guess so? W-w-what are you gonna do?"

"Well...." she touches melody on the shoulder, and she starts to shrink, and eventually end up at 1 foot tall.

"H-h-hey, why did you do that miss siri?" Melody says, slightly getting scared.

Siri doesnt answer, but instead picks melody up, opens her mouth, and then brings melody into it.

"H-H-HEY!!!! S-s-stop!!!" Melody screams. But, her screams fell upon deaf ears since siri started swallowing her, and with on swallow little mel was swallowed up to her waist, and by a second swallow she was brought all the way into siri's throat. And eventually, she ended up in her stomach.

"M-m-miss siri! P-p-p-please let me out! Why did you eat me!!!" She says whimpering, on the verge of tears.

"Hey, hey, hey! It ok, its ok. I ate you so I could heal you. My stomach can produce a healing liquid, and I put you in there to heal your leg." Siri said.

"O-ok. Thank you. Wh-why didnt you tell me that in the first place?" Melody asked.

"I didnt want you to bleed out, or pass out from shock. So, I ate you in the heat of the moment." Siri explained.

"Ok." Melody said

"So, why were you out here anyway? Your parents must be worried sick!"

"I-I-I dont have parents, or atleast ones that I know of. When you found me, I had just been running from a research facility where they did experiments on me." She says while shaking, and tearing up. "I-I-I do not wanna go back there."

"Its ok honey. I wont take you back there. What If I took you back to me and my husbands house? Would that be ok?" Siri says

"Mhm" melody says as she cuddles up into the stomach, getting comfy.

"Also, our house is pretty far away, so you may wanna get some rest while your in there."

"Ok. Goodnight ms siri." Melody says

"Goodnight mel" siri said

Time skip to when siri gets to da house

"Hey, melody! Melodyyyy!" She says, while jostling her stomach so that she can wake melody up.

"Hmmm?" Melody says, just walking up.

"I got to my house." Siri says.

"Oh, ok. I cant wait to meet your husband." Melody says.

"Honey I'm home!" Siri says as she enters the house.

"Oh, welcome home darling." Ammit said from the kitchen. "Did you bring me the venison I wanted?"

"No, but I brought something better. I found a usagi girl named melody out there. I saved her from a wendigo." Siri says

"Oh? Could we adopt her?" Ammit asks. As he walks up and starts to rub siris slightly distended belly, causing sirius to purr.

"I would like that." Melody says as she cuddles up to the belly rubs.

"That sounds like wonderful idea." Siri says joyfully. "But I'm very tired and I think we should probably go to bed." Siri says. "Mel, would you like to sleep in my belly, or would you like to come out"

"I wanna come out." Melody says.

"I'm gonna go eat something" ammit says.

Siri walks into the bathroom in their bedroom, and then regurgitates melody into her hand, and then ushrinks her. Siri hands melody a pair of her pajamas, and allows her to change her clothes.

Once shes finished, she joins siri in the bed.

"Wow, this bed is super big!" Melody says "and it's super comfy too!"

"Mhm." Siri says. "Oi! Ammit! Do you wanna sleep on the bed or on the couch?"

"Bed dear." Ammit says as he walks into the room. "Just remember that we have to start packing, since were moving into the mansion. This weekend."

"Oh shit-i mean shoot! I forgot about that!" Siris says

"It's ok honey, we can just do it tommorow. But for now I think we should rest." Ammit says as he joins the two in the bed. He immediately sniffs melody and starts nuzzling her.

"Hes very cuddly." Melody says softly as ammit massages her bunny ears, causing her to purr slightly.

"He is." Siri says while blushing. "I think he just likes physical affection."

"Alright, goodnight you two!" Ammit says

"Goodnight honey" siri says.

"Goodnight." Melody says.

Both sirius and ammit fall asleep almost instantly, but melody has a bit of trouble sleeping.

As shes sitting there, trying to fall asleep, she feels something wet touching her ears.

She looks up to find that ammit is sucking on her ears gently, and purring slightly.

She tries to pull her ears out of his mouth, but as shes trying, she gets sucked into his maw up to her shoulders.

"U-ummm, mister ammit? Your eating me!" She says, getting slightly worried.

Soon, ammit got to her legs, and wasn't stopping, so she starts struggling, but is swallowed all the way

Melody ended up in ammits stomach, and found that she landed in a small pool of glowing liquid.

She squeaks as she sees the liquid rising, fearing she was going to be digested, but soon felt a calming feeling

"Mmmmm, maybe mister ammit isnt trying to hurt me." Melody says to herself, and just decides to fall asleep.

Siri soon wakes up, and doesnt see melody, so she starts to freak out "melody! Melodyyyy! Where are you sweetie?" she says as she gets up and walks around the room, finds nothing, then walks out of the room.

Soft squeaks could be heard from inside Ammit's gut as melody snored inside

Ammit purrs loudly as the fullness in his gut felt good.

siri walks back in the room, after finding nothing, and is freaking out even more. w-w-where could she have gone!?!? I mean why would sheeee...." she then notices ammit is purring, and knows that can only mean one thing. She looks at his belly, and sees a slight bulge. "* sigh* I should have known." Siri says. "Melody? You ok in there?" She says as she pokes the bulge.

Mel purrs as she slowly awakes

"Mmmmh...yea... " I say softly, feeling safe.

Ammit stirs as he's poked.

"That's good. Dont worry about being digested in there, he does this all the time to me."

"Ok." Melody says.

Ammit yawns, sitting up. "Mmmh.. " He mutters, licking Siri. "Ah!" He opens his maw wide.

"Well shit" siri says with a sigh.

Ammit chuckles and shoves her into his maw, purring as he slurps her up.

Siri slides down his throat and eventually ends up in his belly, with melody. "Well, I guess we're sleeping in his belly tonight." Siri says to melody

Mel nods and rests by Siri

"Yea." Melody says

"Goodnight mel."

"Goodnight siri" she says as she starts to purr and they both fall back to sleep.

The end

Magnificent Scoundrels: Lock n’ Load

This one’s for all you people who are really into sci-fi gadgets like I do.  It’s a little on the short side, so sorry for that.  I’ll try and make the next one longer.  Please note that, as always, only the Tongues of Fire characters belong to me.  All others belong to their respective writers and owners.  Now, sit back, relax, enjoy, and try not to die!

Tongues of Fire Galaxy, In the far reaches of system XBH-9974

The starships of the Magnificent Scoundrels arrived perfectly on time to the coordinates Thomas Drake had sent them.  It was a dreary system in the middle of nowhere, with four barren rocks of planets orbiting a small star, and one that looked to be more mud than anything else.  Drake had invited all of the Scoundrels and any of their retinues on board the Apocalypse for the mission briefing.  They met him in the massive cargo bay of the ship; stainless steel walls and massive stacks of rectangular cargo pallets greeted the new arrivals.  Drake himself was nowhere to be seen, and so they mingled, talking, gauging exactly what type of people they would be working with.  Master Chief slid over to Cooper.

“How was the voyage?” he asked.  Copper gave a long sigh.

“It was...long.  And hard.”

“Thaaaaaattttt’s whaaaaat sheeee said!” came Drake’s much too over enthusiastic voice from one of the doorways leading into the cargo bay.  Several snickers came at his words.

“I don’t get it...oh,” muttered someone.  Copper just sighed and looked at Master Chief.

“That’s the type of shit I’ve had to deal with the entire voyage.”  Drake grinned and held out his arms in greeting.  

“Welcome aboard the Apocalypse everyone!  You’re all looking fabulous today.”  He swaggered towards them.  “I’m assuming you’re all wondering why exactly we’re all here in the ass end of nowhere.”  A handful of nods greeted his words.  “Well I’m not a man to make extensive, complicated and loquacious speeches unless I need to, so I’ll put it simply.  On the mudball planet is a group of thieves, pirates, mercenaries, whatever you want to call them.  Point is, they stole something from a client of mine.  We’re here to get it back, and I am here to see just exactly how good you are.”  He grinned.  “SO.  We shall decide the details later.  Right now, time to ah, get equipped.”  He sauntered through the massive space, the rest of the Scoundrels following him, and touched several buttons on a wrist mounted computer.  Massive panels on the walls slid open, and racks upon racks of weaponry and equipment was displayed for all to see.  Drake grinned again.  “While I was finding information about all of your galaxies, I took the liberty of...acquiring, yes, we’ll stick with that, acquiring quite a lot of things.  Guns and gadgets and weapons and cool stuff!  It’s gonna be glorious!”  Most of the Scoundrels stared, open mouthed, at the truly staggering amount of stuff that Drake had just revealed.  The tough-looking man with the purple masked figure in their retinue, who had been identified by Drake’s report as John Shepard, moved over to one of the weapon racks.  

“Is that...a black hole gun?” he asked Drake.

“Yes,” replied Drake with a typical smirk.  Ciaphas Cain looked as if his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets.  He touched a long barreled gun with a long sniper scope on it.

“Please tell me this isn’t an Exitus Rifle,” he half aske, half pleaded to Drake.  

“As a matter of fact, it is.”

“How did you get that?” asked Cain, a note of fear in his voice.

“It's probably best if you didn’t know.”  

“Yeah.  It is most definitely probably better if I didn’t know.”  Adam Vir walked over to a glass case displaying a lithe grey suit on a manikin.

“This...this is Iron Eye armor,” he said with wonder.  He frowned.  “I’m not even going to ask where you got this.”  Drake nodded.

“At least there’s someone with sense in this room.”  Han Solo, ever the pragmatist, spoke up.

“Where did you get all of this?”  Drake beamed.

“You of all people ought to be able to figure it out.”  

“You stole it.”  It wasn’t a question, but a statement.

“Oh no my dear man,” said Drake with a laugh, “I acquired it.”  Jack Cooper sighed.

“I’m surprised you haven’t stolen a Titan yet.”  Drake whirled around to face him.

“What a wonderful idea!  I think I will.  I’ll add it to the list.”  He turned around and gestured to the various gear.  “Now, I know how some of you like your stuff.”  He spun to face Solo.  “You.  Jacket, boots, holster of unknown material but probably some sort of leather, DL-44 blaster.”  He spun around to Vir.  “You.  Spear, Drev metal.  Iron Eye armor, when necessary, but not a lot.  Have an odd tendency to not wear armor and gasmask when out exploring planets and that has led to problems.”  He wheeled away from Vir and slid up to Cooper.  “You.  Pilot’s suit with cloak, good with anything but like the Flatline.  Prefer the new heavier x-shaped Militia visor as opposed to the old IMC one.”  Drake spun on his heel and pointed at Starlord.  “You.  A rather odd sort of helmet that expands from the ear.  Don’t know how it works, but I’ll find out.  Jet boots, Quad blasters, had a Walkman but now a Zune.”  The Scoundrels stared at Drake, mouths gaping like landed fish.  “You.”  Drake pointed at Master Chief  “MJOLNIR armor, MA5D assault rifle, you’re a soldier so you bring grenades...and so on and so on.  Point is, if you use it, if you want it, I've got it.  Take your pick.”  Shepard made some sort of gagging noise.

“Exactly how much do you know about us?”  Drake gave a grin that was more like a predator baring its teeth than an actual smile.

“Everything.  Including that one thing all of you seem to have that you’d rather me not know.” 

Well shit.  

“Really?  You could just be bluffing.  Prove it,” said Kirk.  Drake held out his hand and a nearby Apocalypse crew member held out a data pad.  Drake tapped several buttons, scanned his fingerprint, then, carefully hiding the surface so as no one else could see it, showed Kirk the contents.  Kirk blanched and tugged at his collar.

“Uh, yeah...he’s not bluffing.”  Drake smiled, this time genuinely.  

“Don’t worry though.  I won’t tell anyone your secrets unless you want me to.”  He rubbed his hands together.  “So.  Let’s get to it, shall we?”  He gestured at a large holographic projector in the corner of the room.  Everyone walked over, Drake tapped his wrist mounted computer, and a glowing green projection of what looked like a military base appeared.  Drake gestured at it.  

“This is their base, if you haven’t guessed already.  It was originally an observation outpost for the Federal Military, which is why it’s as formidable as it is, but it was abandoned, well, because it’s smack-dab in the middle of nowhere.  Why they built it in the first place is a mystery.  Anyway, they have about oh, say, 200 to 300 people there.  All of them are armed, and while they don’t have anything too heavy, like, say, anti-aircraft or -tank weapons, they have quite the compilation of small arms.  Nothing we shouldn’t be able to handle.  We can also probably disable their long range sensors, allowing us to land on the planet without detection.  The question is: what do you want to do from there?”  He looked around at the group.  “Oh come now.  Any suggestions?”  

“This is your party, your home galaxy; what do you suggest?” asked Shepard pointedly.  Drake laughed.

“Well, there are usually two ways of retrieving an object of importance from a hostile group: either no bodies for the guards to notice or no guards left to notice the bodies.”  Several of the team looked horrified at this, and Drake gave a bloodthirsty grin.  “Option two is easier as there aren’t any local law enforcement.  In fact, there isn’t anyone of significant authority to apprehend us within anywhere near here.  Hell, we don’t even need to hide our presence.  We have enough firepower to blow them into molten slag; we can retrieve the object afterwards.”  He paused and considered it for a moment.  “Although, if we go with an orbital bombardment we run the risk of destroying the object.”  Vir stared at him in horror.

“An orbital bombardment?  You can’t be serious.”  Shepard and Kirk nodded at this.  Drake scoffed.

“They’re a group of 200 pirates on an uninhabited mudball of a planet.  No one’s gonna care.”  Was Drake testing them?  They looked at each other, and Shepard spoke.  

“No.  We’re going to go in stealthily.  No need to get anyone hurt unnecessarily.  We land undetected, we,” he gestured at himself, Vir and Master Chief, “go in, steal the thing, get out.  You guys are our support.”  He pointed at Drake and Cooper, “You two stay on that side,” he gestured at Cian and Quill, “you two on that side, and you two,” he looked at Solo and Kirk, “are ready to get us out if anything goes wrong.  Any objections?”  Most of the team nodded.  Drake gave them an odd look.

“If that’s how you want to do it.”  This was definitely a test.  “Ok.  If we’re all agreed, then let’s get to it.  Take whatever you want, but tell me or the quartermaster first so I know what you’re taking.  Other than that, I bid you good luck.”  Now then, what to do?  What to choose?  Celeric, the Apocalypse's morose quartermaster, was demonstrating to some of the Scoundrels’ crewmembers the horrifying effects of some glowing green weapons.  Cain and the officers of the Valhallan 597th were all buckling on bulky armored plates and picking up strange rectangular-looking rifles attached to heavy backpacks.  Apparently they knew what they wanted.  Master Chief wore full combat armor all the time, so he didn’t need anything. Solo had already disappeared, and Shepard and Cooper were browsing through gear from their home galaxy.  That left two.  Adam Vir and Peter Quill stared at each other awkwardly, then seemingly decided at the same time to walk over to where Drake was.  

Drake was sitting next to a large rack of ornate black armor.  While not exceptionally detailed, it looked extremely advanced and very expensive.  Drake himself was humming along to some song playing from his wrist computer while fiddling with a sleek triple barreled weapon.  A blueish-purple glow emitted from the center where a magazine would be on a normal weapon, and Drake seemed to be inspecting it for any flaws.  He turned and stopped what he was doing when Vir and Quill approached.  

“Ah!  Can I help you?” he asked politely.  

“What are you doing?” replied Vir in lieu of a response.  Drake chuckled.

“Well, these are mine.  Can’t be going into combat un-prepared, now, can I?”  He indicated the armor and gun.  

“What are they?” bath asked at the same time, then looked at each other, surprised.  

“Modified armor and a modified triple-barreled supercooled assault plasma rifle.  Cost me quite a lot, but worth every penny.  And, of course, this.”  He tapped the portable computer.  “The best in the market, modified, of course, by yours truly.  It can slice into almost any security system and can pull up anything from the Apocalypse's main computer.  And it plays music.”  This got their attention.  

“What kind?”  Drake shrugged.

“Oh, you know, the classics.”

“What do you consider ‘the classics’?” asked Vir.

“You know, the classics.  Uh, Country Roads, 1812 Overture, I’m Sexy and I Know It…”

“One of those does not belong with the others,” muttered Quill.  

“Eh, doesn’t matter.  I know the both of you have quite good taste in music.  Should be interesting.  Talk to Celeric if you have any questions about the stuff.”  Quill wandered off, and Drake took out some sort of screwdriver-like tool and fussed over a panel on the suit of armor.  “Look at this.  Best of the best.  It’s got all the gadgets on it: enhanced strength and support, slot for the wrist computer, thermal vision, the works.  But now...now the possibilities are endless!  Built in flamethrowers, omnitools, cybernetic implants, personal shielding, digital weapons...oh it’s going to be glorious when I’m done with it.”  He turned to Vir, who hadn’t moved.  “Can I help you?”  

“Er...yes, you can, actually.”  Vir fidgeted with his collar and turned a slight shade of red.  “What do you know about me?”  

“You?  Everything.  I already told you that,” replied Drake as he turned back to his work.

“I mean...specifically.”  Drake sighed and turned back towards him.  

“Specifically?  I know of your war record, which is painful, but not that deep of a secret.”  He pursed his lips.  “How shall I phrase this...does the acronym LFIL mean anything to you?”  Vir turned a deeper shade of red.  

“Uh...yes.  Yes, it does.”  Drake nodded.

“Good.  Just so we’re on the same page.  I won’t tell anyone, though.  You can trust me with that.  In fact,” he began to laugh, “In fact...well, I can’t tell you.  But I shall ask.  Worry not, for I shall ask.”  Drake paused and seemed to consider something for a moment, then stood up and put a hand on Vir’s shoulder.  His voice changed from light and breezy to serious and almost fatherly.  “Let me give you a bit of advice.  Do not ever let a servant of the Imperium of Man know.  They will kill you for it.”  He looked past Vir at something in the background and sighed.  “Speaking of bloody which,” he turned and walked towards the Imperials, who were lugging crates emblazoned with the double headed Imperial eagle towards the exit.  “Oi!  You guys are just going to walk away with all my hellguns without telling me?”  And while Drake was arguing with Cain, Adam Vir stood and pondered Drake’s words.

Due to the overwhelming technological superiority of the Scoundrels, the bases’ long and close range scanners were taken down with relative ease, and the assault was to commence.  Drake had placed his own soldiers on board the various ships that would be landing outside the base, as a rather obvious attempt to see how good the rest of the Scoundrels really were.  Shepherd stared in distaste at the sleazy looking man who accompanied them aboard his ship, the Normandy.  Vir and the Chief were in the hold, ready and waiting, and Shepard was to bring them just outside the base.  The rest were to be dropped off or teleported by the Millennium Falcon or the Enterprise.  Shepard turned towards Drake’s armsman, named Nathaniel if he remembered correctly.  

“So, Nathaniel.  Drake seems a bit...off.  Is he really, well, on top of things?”  Nathaniel gave a sleazy smile.

“Here’s the thing.  People don’t follow others because they’re popular or high born.  People follow others because they’re good at what they do.  Don’t matter if they’re nice, or rich, or sane, it matters if they’re competent.  And the Captain?  Well, he’s a little off.  Whether he’s actually nuts or just likes acting like it doesn’t matter.  He’s the best of the best at what he does and I’d follow him into hell.”  Shepard didn’t have time to reply.  

“Commander.  We’ve arrived.”  

Well, that’s it.  Hope you liked it.  If you have any questions, comments, concerns, reviews, advice or criticisms, feel free to ask.  Hope you have a nice day!

Ch 13: Drowning 

Steven's P.O.V.

…

…

…

...w-where am I…? Why...is everything so dark? I...I don't know what's going on…

Beep...beep.

What...is that noise? Is it...my head beeping? I...I don't know...what's going...on…

I just feel like...I need to...get out of this darkness…a-are my eyes even...open? I don't think...they are…

All I have to do...i-is open them right? Would I be...out of the darkness then? I...can try to.

I started to try and move...my eyelids and...I think I was right. My eyes are closed…

I suddenly hear...a voice but...I can't make out...who that was...who was it…? I have to...open my eyes...I have to…

I keep squinting...my eyes as I...start trying to open them. The voice started...to speak again...as I made my way...to open my eyes.

I tried...and I tried...and I tried...until finally...I was able to open them up. Once I do...everything is just...m-mixed in...in one big blur.

What's...going on...where...am I…? I don't...remember...how I got...to this place...whatever it is…

I slightly feel something grab my hand...I think...it was my hand. I turned my head over...to see a blur that stood out...from the rest of the blurry room. Kind of like...a person.

I once again heard...a voice but it was muffled. W-where...am I? I turned my head as my vision...continued to be a blur. I feel...weird. I feel...dizzy. I…

"...ven…!"

I blinked slowly as I...slowly turned to the voice again. My vision started to clear a bit...but it was still blurry.

"...ven...ar...e…?"

W-who is that...I...I can't tell. Why...what is going on…? What is-?

Suddenly, my stomach felt like it was hit by a bus and I gasp loudly as I start to sit up, my senses suddenly snapping into focus.

"Whoa, whoa, calm down kiddo!"

I felt hands gently grab my shoulders and push me softly back down, and that's when the pain slowly started to stop. I looked back up and realized that blurry figure was my dad.

"D-dad…?" my eyes widened at how weak my voice was.

He softly smiles at me. "H-hey Schtu-ball."

I go to say something else, when I notice there's something on my face. My eyes trailed down to the thing on my face. 

Wait...what is this?! What's this on my face?! I took a look around the room again and noticed some wires attached to me. My eyes widen at this as I frantically tried to rip the thing off my face.

Oh gosh! I'm trapped! Get this thing off of me! Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!

"W-whoa! Easy there," dad said before he gently went to grab my hand but I flinched slightly. "It's ok. You're in the hospital right now."

"H-h-hosss...pital?" I forced out.

"Yea...where sick people go. Also please try not to talk too ok? Sounds like trying to speak is draining you already."

I looked at him and realized something. As I was about to ask, I gasped as that grinding pain came back to my stomach, and I couldn't help but curl.

"Steven! O-ok hang on."

I looked over my shoulder to see dad pick up some kind of remote and pressing a button.

"It's alright. Connie's mom will be here soon."

I looked at him, and forced my question out.

"H-h-how'ssss….C-C-Connie…? I-i-is sh-sheeee...o-k-k-kay?"

Dad looked at me a little surprised but then sighs, shaking his head slightly.

"Don't worry. She's ok and she's safe. Right now, we need to worry about you. You're what's important right now kiddo."

I look up, ready to say something, when I see Connie's mom come in and she looks over at me and looks shocked.

"Oh Steven, you're finally awake," she walks over to me quickly. "How do you feel?"

"I-I f-feeeeeeelllll...w-weird…"

She looks at me with a frown.

"Seems like you have a stutter and slurred speech. Don't worry, you just woke up from a coma so it should only be temporary."

My eyes widen. "A c-c-coommaaaa?!"

I've been stuck in a coma?! I've been asleep this whole time worrying everyone?!

"Y-yes, but try and stay calm," Connie's mom laid a hand on my shoulder. "The important thing now is that you're awake."

I looked up at her. "H-how l-loonng?"

She looked at me and sighed, deciding to avoid my question.

"Let me check your vitals."

She goes over and checks my heart rate, pulse, and other things I'm not even sure what she checks. After a few minutes, she looks at me and backs up.

"Well your vitals are as normal as they could be. Now then, do you feel any pain?"

I bit my lip as I was tempted to not worry her and tell her I was ok, but the look on dad's face tells me otherwise.

"E-everything...h-hurrrrtttsss...m-m-mainly my st-stommmaaaccchhh…"

She sighs. "Well that's normal. After all the physical trauma you've been through I would've been surprised if you weren't. I could probably find you some pain killers or something to help ease the pain," she comes over and gently takes off the thing that was on my face. "I'll keep this nearby in case you need it, but I'm gonna see how you do without it for a while," she looks at dad. "I'm going to go call Connie and tell her that Steven's awake. If anything happens, please let me know immediately."

Dad nods. "Got it!"

She gives a nod before leaving the room. He looks back at me and sits in the chair next to my bed.

"I'm...really glad to see you're awake kiddo."

I look down. "I-I'm...s-s-sorrrryyy I w-worried y-yoouuu."

He smiled softly at me. "Hey, don't worry about it. The important thing is you're awake now."

"Y-yea...I g-g-guess sooooo."

"You'll be ok," he smiles.

I looked down for a second before back at him.

"D-dad?"

"Yea?"

"S-s-she said t-thaaattt...I was in a c-c-coma...h-how looonnnnggg w-was I o-o-ooouuutttt?"

He sighs and glances down.

"A...a while, Steven. A long while…"

My eyes widen. "L-like a y-year?!"

"Oh no no not that long don't worry," he sighs. "That...can be something we can talk about later. You just woke up so it's best if you don't have all the information at once right now."

I looked at him before glancing down at the sheets.

"I-I'm s-sorrrryyyy…"

"Hey hey, no need to apologize. This isn't your fault."

I looked back up at him, and that's when we started talking. A little bit later, Connie's mom came back in and looked at me.

"Hey Steven, you have some visitors."

I looked at her. "O-ok."

She turned around and it looked like she was motioning something as people started to come in. Who came in was Bismuth, Lapis, Peridot, and...Connie. My eyes widen when I saw Connie and felt a sense of relief to see she was ok. She looked back at me, her eyes widen as she started to slowly come over towards me.

"St-Steven…"

I smiled at her. "H-hey Connniiiieee. I'm glad to s-see you're okaaaaayyyy."

"Me?" she lightly chuckles. "I'm not the one in a hospital bed."

I chuckle back. "Well I-I'm a little d-disappoinnntteeddd you d-didn't get me floowwweeerrrrsss."

She chuckled while the room went silent and dad was looking at me in shock. I looked at him wide eyed, having the feeling I did something wrong.

"W-w-what? D-did I do s-something w-wrrroonnnggg?! I-I-I'm s-sorrrryyyy!"

He shakes his head. "Y-you didn't do anything wrong kiddo. It's just...do you remember hearing anything while you were unconscious?"

I looked at him feeling a little nervous.

"N-n-no I d-doonnn'ttt. I-I'm sorrrryyyy I…"

"No, it's ok," Greg looked at Connie's mom.

She looked a little shocked herself as she looked like she was thinking for a moment.

"It could be possible that Steven did hear you at some point in his coma but wasn't aware of it, and his brain absorbed that information unconsciously."

Dad looked back at me and gave me a reassuring smile.

"It's alright kiddo. What you said just caught me by surprise that's all."

I slowly nodded at him before looking over at the Bismuth, Lapis, and Peridot, and they were looking at me with a smile. I looked at them before realizing it was just them. Where were the others?

"H-hey guy? W-w-where arrreeeee P-Pearl, Ametthhhyyysssstttt and G-G-Garnet?"

Their smiles disappeared as they looked at each other. I felt more nervous just seeing the shifts in their mood.

"G-guys?"

They looked at me before Bismuth took a breath and looked at me.

"Steven...please listen to me carefully. The others they...they're still on Homeworld...still mind controlled by White Diamond."

My eyes widened as my breath hitched in my throat.

"W-what?!"

She sighs. "You...were badly injured, Steven. We didn't really have time to try and find a way to save them at that moment. We...had to save you because...well you were bleeding out."

I stared in shock as I glanced down.

"S-so...t-t-this is m-my f-f-faaauullllttt…"

"N-no it isn't," Lapis tried to reassure me. "This isn't your fault."

"I-I...d-did this…" I muttered.

"Steven?" I hear Peridot ask.

"I...d-did t-t-thiiisss…"

Suddenly, it was really hard to breath as I struggled to get a breath in. W-what is this?! Why can't I breathe?! H-help! I can barely make out the sound of the beeping getting faster as I find it more difficult to breathe! 

"St-Steven!"

Help...help me! I-I'm drowning! I can't breathe!

"I-I'm s-s-sorry! I...I d-d-didn't mean t-to!" I muttered out. "Th-this is m-my f-f-fault!"

I can't breathe! I'm drowning! Someone please...help me!

"St-Steven!" the voice sounded so distant, but I couldn't make out who it was. "I-it isn't your fault!"

I can't….I can't breathe! Someone help me! Help! Help me! The tears are streaming out of my eyes. This is my fault! They're gone because of me! I can't breathe! I'm drowning! I'm dying! Help!

Suddenly, I felt someone grab my shoulder and I gasp as I looked up, my vision suddenly blurry and my hearing starting to ring. I can see the person's lips moving barely, but I can't see...I can't hear.

I can't breathe! I can't...I can't...I can't...help me! Someone please...help...help...help...me...I can't...everything is...getting so blurry…

Everything is getting...so...dark…

Ok here's my college AU post. Only the characters from Virtue's Last Reward are in this AU because I played it for way more hours than 999 and kind of got more attached to the characters, and i never played ztd. Also I literally only started and finished 999 and vlr like a month/2 weeks ago............. so sorry if stuff is like really random lsdkjfslkdfjsdf

Alsooooo I don't normally have headcanons for fandom stuff so I guess I don't really know what I'm doing?? Sorry if this isn't interesting at all lmao. Sigma is obviously my huge favorite so this is mostly about how all the characters relate to him I guess HAHA;;

oh also some slight nsfw text here bc the characters are in college and people are horny. just a heads up idk

Sigma

double majoring in electrical engineering and biology

Mostly goofs off and parties and gets trashed all the time, kind of skips class except to take exams

but somehow he's acing all his classes bc he's freakishly good at studying (memorizing)

also a horny fool...... sleeps around all the time...... mostly sleeps w girls

initially id's as straight but he flirts w guys a lot when he's drunk. later comes to terms w being bi

even tho he sleeps around a lot he actually rly likes romance & tenderness & is kinda lonely (but he wouldn't normally admit this idk)

Phi's cousin

Kyle's brother

Akane's lab partner

has a crush on Luna

later also has a crush on Junpei

Friends with Alice and Clover

wants to punch Dio

Luna

On some medical school route at the college, aiming to be a doctor

Kind of lived a sheltered childhood or smth so she doesn't go out partying much and mostly stays in, but she likes to go w everyone when they're partying it up even tho she doesn't really do anything

Has an extremely obvious crush on Sigma that Sigma somehow doesn't know about

She's friends w Phi, Alice, Clover, and Kyle, later friends with Junpei thru Sigma

She wouldn't say it but she doesn't like Dio.

Phi

Sigma's cousin and roommate

she and sigma get on each others' nerves a lot but ultimately rely on each other for a lot of stuff and are good friends

Friends with Luna, Alice, Clover, and Akane

Oh I guess she's Kyle's cousin too. Idk I never really thought about if they get long.

Idk at all what her major should be tho if anyone has any suggestions lmk.

Alice

Another one that idk what she's studying. Criminology??

In an open relationship w Clover, closest to Clover out of the whole cast

Friends-with-benefits w Sigma (men get pegged™)

Friends with Luna and Phi, sort of friends with Dio (and Kyle by extension) because they had a class together once but also kind of hates him because he's obnoxious.

Clover

Studying the same thing as whatever Alice is studying (criminology I guess? idk)

In an open relationship with Alice, closest to Alice out of the whole cast

sheeee's not really fwb w/ Sigma, she only ever does sexy stuff w him if Alice is there OR if Sigma's in feminine clothes (but even then the two of them are not really a thing idk)

Oh but on that note she and Sigma like to go partying together & she likes to dress him up in trendy/cute clothes when they go out bc it's fun

She's bi but greatly prefers girls and feminine people

Friends with Luna and Phi, but usually more quiet around them if Alice isn’t around

Dio

Psychology major

idk why he's in this friend group I guess he made his way in thru Alice lsdkfjssdf he's not particularly close or on good terms with anyone except Kyle tho. People don't really like him much bc he comes off really flippant and arrogant

Really desperate to be cool and popular, throws a lot of parties 

Friends with/has a crush on Kyle; usually his personality is more toned down when they're hanging out one-on-one

Kyle

Philosophy major

Doesn't really get along well w/ Sigma bc he thinks Sig's rly irresponsible and obnoxious

Sigma also doesn't rly like Kyle bc he thinks Kyle's rly pretentious

Friends-ish with Luna but also gets annoyed at her when she talks too much about Sigma

Friends with Akane, trusts her w a lot of stuff

Friends with/has a crush on Dio

He and Dio get along bc they're both constantly having existential/identity crises about being the uncool sibling in their family lgksdfslnglsdkfj

Doesn't really party with everyone

also i think he’s gay idk

Akane

Biology and neuroscience double major

Sigma's lab partnerJunpei's childhood friend

loves 2 roast sigma

she and phi are the roast sigma committee :)

Her personality here is most like she is in 999 because idk what she's like in ztd

Friends with Phi and maybe Luna? She’s not as connected to the rest of the cast.

oh but she’s friends with Kyle and listens to him rant about how everything sucks for him

Junpei

Biology and neuroscience double major

Childhood friends with Akane, used to have a crush on her but not rly anymore (sorry y'all sdlfsjldfk)

Meets Sigma thru Akane in the bio lab one day

he's bi, kind of inadvertently helps sigma work thru his sexuality too

Has a crush on Sigma

Becomes good friends with Luna

Is kinda friends with everyone else but not as close as they are to each other? idk

Idk I heard his personality in ztd is edgy so he's kinda edgy/closed off in personality here compared to 999??? Technically I guess his personality should be most similar to old man Tenmyouji since this is a vlr AU but honestly i'm just freestylin when i draw Junpei ksdjfsldfkj

Other notes:

There's not really a plot or anything in this AU other than just romance/relationship nonsense, hahaha;; This all is basically just so I can draw the vlr characters having a stupid fun time instead of being depressed on the moon.

Quark's not here because he's 10............ idk how he'd fit in here slkdjfskfsdj maybe Junpei babysits him

Also my endgame ship (?) in this whole nonsense AU is luna/sigma/junpei which i think literally no one ships except me but.......... you have to trust me.......... please trust me it's good................ i'll be doodling some stuff of them at some point hopefully.

Their dynamic is basically this:

w/ Sigma in the middle. (this pic is via someone on twitter, unfortunately i can't find the original tweet u_u)

altho luna and junpei are kind of intimate w each other i think when it's just the two of them together they're basically just good friends who trust each other a lot & they both rly love sigma. & sigma loves both of them

ANYWAY that’s basically everything, sorry it’s all nonsense & if you don’t vibe with some of this stuff that’s fine this is just for me;;; 

in conclusion: i want sigma to be loved and cherished and have a good time in college

[lalalariot]

I’m watching again gossip girl(never watch it lineally) BUT I’m doing this for HBO I guess (and this Nostradamus series predicting my love life to an extent )

Soooo....

1 .I still don’t like Vanessa,the most annoying character being hypocrite .

2. “SereNate” is a horrible and forced shipping . Serena wasn’t over Dan in the whole series and Nate had a platonic love towards Serena,wasn’t that real to begin with ,he was in love with the fantasy of Serena not “the flawed Serena” as Dan did(he started platonic but they loved each other even with flaws)

3. Georgina is a boss (not as good as Blair but second best) she was like Cassie from skins but evil .

4. I still love Blair ,she is childish sometimes but she is the best character

5. Jenny and Nate had WAY more chemistry than most other people they dated (Vanessa,the gay,Damian,Serena ,Milf and the ginger) They should approach more this characters and they did dirty to Jenny (yes ,she slept with Chuck but she should loose here V card with Nate ...Not Chuck)

6. Chuck is a character I have mixed feelings .

7. The shippings were toxic AF but they had sense somehow .I meant ... they talked things specially Dan and Serena .

8. Dorota and Cyrus were the best

9. I don’t understand why Georgina and Carter never dated . They could have been a power couple.(she looks good with Jack tho)

10. Eric deserved more scandals or being into the main characters drama more

11. Dan is the less toxic of the main characters ... but has an inferiority complex .But e less toxic was Vanya(the Russian door keeper) the rest were more messy

12. I don’t think Serena is a bad person BUT she always plays victim roll and put puppy eyes to justify her mistakes .EDIT she doesn’t have the right to raise her voice to Rufus for her daddy issues

13. I think Williamis pretentious as F ...

14. Why all Brooklyn people are “poor” or feel less than upper east siders?! (Maybe was the time the series was done because Brooklyn now can be as expensive as Manhattan)

15. I felt bad for Jenny ... not even hating her ,just pity her

16. When those robbers took Chuck’s ring my heart broke ;( ,honestly ... I mean,he deserved all Dan’s punches honestly BUT taking the engagement ring that was going to be Blair’s ... sad

17. Why didn’t Blair call Chuck saying she was running late because she was supporting Dorota while she was on labor.

18. Dorota’s wedding no was beautiful,thank you Chuck and Cyrus for making that wedding beautiful!

19. Eva is so nice ,I think Blair crossed the line with her for jealousy and inmaturity.

20. Juliet(Columbia chick ) is worse

21. Vanessa was nice supporting Dan and Milo (the baby) I liked Dan and Vanessa while taking care of Georgina’s baby as a couple

22. Chuck was a better person with Eva , but I sill love Chuck and Blair more but was not bad with Eva,don’t hate on her just because she dated Chuck lol... if she was a snake like Juliet or Vanessa maybe but she was nice ,just a prostitute but a nice person.

23. I can’t relate to Juliet ,her brother is nice but sheeee .I don’t know ,she had to go to far for a grudge that is not even hers , her cousin was helping her ... what kind of sabotage is this?

24. Serena is kissing a lot of guys ... damn,this is so annoying and awkward

25. Can’t believe Serena leaves Blair and acts up like is the end of the world if Blair is busy,double moral much ...so Blair has to be ok with Serena leaving following guys and Blair can’t leave while pursuing her goals?

26. Russell vibe reminds me to the guy from Shark tank ... the whole vibe ,wouldn’t be surprise if the author did based the character on him

27. I don’t want Chuck to loose his empire

28. Raina is not a bad character BUT if she has to be dragged to save Chuck’s empire we’ll .... it has to be done

29. Damian is a thot level 100 ... first Jenny then Jenny’s best friend, Eric ! That’s so low ... this guy is so complicated

30. Jenny is just easily manipulated ,but Vanessa and Juliet are bigger snakes.Still no empathy to neither

31. I still don’t think Nate’s dad is a reliable lawyer .

32. Just a genuine question ,why all characters that are not from the upper east side have inferiority complex?

33. What Lily did with Ben was HORRIBLE but I don’t think he’s for Serena,he deserves better.

34. Dan and Blair are getting into each other?! Is not bad

35. I like Charlie(way more than Vanessa or Serena)...lets hope they don’t screw her having some inferiority complex to make everyone look nice 😂

36. Selfish Serena

37. Jack Bass looks SO NICE WITH BEARD ... I would keep him ...

38. Chuck crash a window and he finally fights for Blair when she has an engagement ring?!

39. Snake Serena ...

40. Russell Thorpe has a double moral but Chuck’s dad is not behind.

41. Why everyone banish others “go,never come back to New York “ .Blair did it with Jenny and Chuck with Russell .

42. Cyrus is so nice ,he’s helping so much Blair ! God bless this man

why she made her cousin spend her trust funds ?!

43.Is getting pretty dull and boring all this boring royal family and Ivy’s boyfriend ,he’s plain imo ... never mind

44.I still like more Ivy/Charlie than Vanessa

45. Serena’s auntie is a mess,I liked her as a teen but this lady is greedy and lazy .I liked her but she goes so low :( ... this is how you destroy a good character

46. Chuck and Blair in therapy ... something that should happen way before if you ask me ,but we wouldn’t have as much seasons

47. That milf is so annoying (Elizabeth Hurley’s character) ... why can’t she make her mind if she loves Nate or is a toy boy (but we all know he’s everyone’s toy boy)

48. Nate barely has self respect ,that’s not something just women should have ...men also

49 I can understand Ivy but she goes too far ,she could run away with the money and that’s it ! That family is rich af and will “recover “ in less than a month .

50 low key Ivy and her ex dynamic is so toxic ... both greedy people who try to climb social class seducing or stealing ... damage each other during and after the relationship,wtf

51 Honestly I could care less about those two ...

52 I would rather to have Rhodes family crazy flashbacks

53 Dan is so entitled ,he says he doesn’t care what people say about him and goes to his hater’s address.Kinda creepy

54. Nate’s cousin ... Chip is not thaaaat bad :(

55 But he got what he deserved

I’ll give more insights while I advance ...

*EDIT #1 started season 4

*EDIT#2 Season 4 almost over

* EDIT#3 season 5,half way

How well do you know your best friend?

Original post here. Answer these questions about your bff, your tumblr bff, or just anyone you want to show a lot of appreciation on here to!!!!

I was tagged by @chiruchill and will answer the questions about her (and tagging her back!!!). Tagging @shulkie @milleandra-nebula @crying-abt-fictional-people , uh chiru also tagged @glassesgirl0401 and @gray-x-natsus-matching-hip-scars  but it didn’t seem to work? idk guys feel free to spread the love but also feel free to ignore!!! (I HIGHLY recommend getting the questions from the original post, I rambled for MILES in every single question you don’t wanna read the below trust me)

1. What is your best friend’s dream job, and why? Man, idk that you’ve ever blabbed about something specific, like I know you’d love to run a café with me, or a library with your mom, or any kind if small store like that... Obviously I know you were ready to invest a lot of time and effort into teaching too... Any job that would give you enough time and self management to allow you to spend time with your dogs really ahaha

2. What is their biggest pet peeve, and why do you think that is? The main one is people being 1)  messy and 2) loud. A few weeks ago I would have just said “well you’re considerate and wish they could be too”, but I said I’d be brutally honest about this and girl... I read something a little while ago and I am genuinely worried your hyperawareness of everyone around you stems from something more specific, but we can talk about it whenever

3. What is their favourite TV series (live action)? LMAO GO AWAY I GET THE MESSAGE I will watch Arrested Development asap

4. What is their favourite TV series (animated)? Ahaha you’ve recommended a lot of quality comedies to me over the years, do you have an ultimate fave though? I know there was that group of school girls comedy gdi I watched it but forget the name >< welp

5. What does your best friend value most in life, and why? (Do you think they value most what they say they do, or something else?) Holy shit ok this goes right back to a thing the guys were talking about earlier. I’m gonna say your dogs, like you do say you do :p If we’re talking values in people/ ways of life... What the guys brought up was that you say you only want a simple life with just what we need, but... well, I guess we all know none of us have ANY idea what a minimal life is like, so I’d say what you mean by that is, you do value the life standard we currently have, where we never have to worry about a solid roof over our heads, food, and enough money left to support your pets. So yeah, my answer is 1) your dogs, and 2) the kinda life where we can support them x)

6. How would you describe their style, and how would they describe it? Colorful (but that’s how us French see all Scandinavians tbh), comfortable, like effortless but still cute? You’d probably agree it’s colorful but then say it’s not “stylish” though XD I think you just really like cute things but muuuuch prefer comfort first

7. If you were to decorate a room for your best friend, what would it look like, and why? !!!!! Aaahhh I’m a shit decorator with no taste, but I’d keep it minimal cause that’s how you feel best! A massive bed for you and your dogs, maybe nice tall lights you can reach from the bed but light the room well... A bookshelf... A pretty big desk... I’d want to add lots of plants and pillows, but idk if you’d want that clutter :/ Colors would be white beige and either pastel green or pastel pink.

8. What do you think their best quality is? You know how during a mario kart race you can see the names shuffle on the side as players cut in front or fall behind, that’s what your qualities are doing in my head now... You’re patient, so strong and independent (which I admire endlessly), generous, smart, but I guess what really sets you apart from me is your specific sense of humor and just wit in general??? idk how to explain, it’s not just that you make me laugh, it’s everything you say, I know only you would come up with that at that moment. It’s a big part of what makes me so excited when I’m around you, and a big part of why I miss you so badly when I’m not.

9. What does your best friend think their best quality is? Would they agree with you? Yee you think you’re funny and you’re right :p  Unless now you think your patience is your top quality given how much you’ve put up with lately

10. What is your best friend’s favourite book (or book series)? The Hobbit

11. What do you have in common with your best friend? LMAO our shitty sense of humor... Omg what else though :o we’re really different... maybe how difficult we are when it comes to really letting people in? idk please answer this one better than me

12. How did you meet, and what was your first impression of your best friend? First day of uni!!!! I was lost and confused, she had papers and was alone and therefore less intimidating, I asked her where she got the documents from... And once I got them, I think sheeee was the one to offer we sit next to each other while I was munching on my apple ahaha. I missed the next meeting, but after that she saw me at the bus stop, and offered to wait for the bus with me??? Kindest thing anyone had ever done for me at that point in my life, so yeah... How far we’ve come :’) Very first impression though... “she looks reasonable enough to talk to... Oh she’s nice... Yay she’s really nice!!!” ahaha

13. What does your best friend spend their free time doing, and why do you think they choose to do what they do? Reading, petting the dogs, watching stuff, gaming... It’s escapism isn’t it babe :’) Anything that’s relaxing and distracts you from whatever is happening irl

14. Who is their favourite fictional character, and why? Luigi cause he wears green lmao and cause he’s like the “second” brother and therefore deserves more love

15. What’s the first thing you tell other people when you talk about your best friend? “So Chiru - she’s my best friend and you’ll be hearing about her every day -” ACTUAL LINE SERVED TO ALL MY CO-WORKERS. And then I tend to say we lived together for 2 years, and that I miss you a lot

16. What’s your favourite story about them? Is there a single fave...How we met, how we came to do our groceries together and suddenly became unseparable, MY SURPRISE BDAY x2, coming to cheer for me at cheer, casually inviting me to your home, Nice (omg you reading Scandinavia and the world to me!!), our Japan travels, everything, right up to getting your last dog, is a highlight in my life

17. What’s your least favourite story about them? :))) fuck if I am telling that on here. Oh shit I said I’d be honest. Look... I think sometimes you forget I’m pretty insecure and basically any minor (or... you know... not so minor) event that makes me think maybe you’ll leave me behind after all is just like. uhm. “least favorite stories” is a mild way to explain how I feel about those times

18. Why do you think you two ended up becoming best friends? My dudes I wonder a lot. I know it’s so much more than just living together, if anything that makes most people hate each other. It’s shared values, willingness to make balanced efforts for each other, an endless stream of ideas for fun coming from both sides, similar interests... I don’t know, but Chiru I am just so grateful everyday I did find you

19. Would you be honest with your best friend if they were happy doing something, but you think it might end up harming them in the end? Ouch. Ok well... The truth is sometimes I doooo worry, but I’m so convinced you know what you’re doing so much better than I do, that no, I tend to trust whatever you say, if you’re convinced (/telling me you’re convinced) that what you’re doing isn’t harming you, I’ll believe you. At least, that’s what I tell myself... A part me of does worry, though, that I just don’t speak up because you’ll already have all the arguments ready and we’ll just unnecessarily argue about it, and I’ll end up hurt, and yes exactly it’s as bad as it sounds, I’m worried I wouldn’t want to fight you over your happiness in case it would result in hurt feelings. I’m a mess, this is terrible and I gotta work on that

20. Does your best friend play any instruments? Why do you think they chose that instrument? BISH SAYS SHE CAN SORTA PLAY THE GUITAR AND PIANO BUT HAS SHE PLAYED FOR ME YET, I THINK NOT. I am unappreciated, where is my serenade (jk jk, I realy doooo wanna hear you play though!!)

21. Do you and your best friend have a dream for the future, if so, what is it? Move in with me please it’s the one thing that keeps me going

22. What is one thing you have always wanted to tell your best friend, but never have? :)))) ((((: *digs through a million letter drafts and hell, fic drafts, we all know where my inspiration comes from anyway* Sigh... Well first of all I need you to know you’re the most beautiful and kind soul I have ever encountered. Please get that through your head. Secondly... I don’t think I’d have EVER brought this up, but that’s what the question is aiming for, isn’t it... You probably only held my hand in Barcelona because I was so black-out wasted you were worried I wouldn’t follow you home otherwise, but it made me sort of ridiculously happy, and I guess I wouldn’t mind if it happened again

23. What do you think your best friend’s life will be like 10 years from now? What I’m thinking or wishful thinking hah... Thinking, well... deep breath, you’ll be alright :) You’ll have a comfortable home somewhere you like, with a job that suits you. You’re too stubborn to settle for any less. Your dogs are with you, of course. And so is whoever will be lucky enough to be chosen by you. You can guess based on that what the wishful thinking is

24. What song makes you think of your best friend? IT’S 4:18 AM AND HONESTLY THERE ARE SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM (anything from Just Dance tbh XD) BUT I CHOOSE THIS GEM (45:21) because fukkit it’s cold as heeeeck in my room right now and I’m only listening to this kind of music

25. Just to end on a mean note, what’s your best friend’s worst personality trait? (Be honest now, guys, none of that “they’re just too kind” bullshit) Worst? You wanna hear something crazy... Well you know I miss you, I always do and have been for so long now, but once I thought maybe if I listed everything that maybe weren’t the beeesst parts of your personality, and all the parts of my personality that probably annoyed you, I’d force myself to accept that maybe it’d be best for us to stop living together... And gdi I tried. But it’s just a really ridiculous list ... or at least it was, until that one night... Remember when one of my friends took my phone and texted you quite extensively, and that went really really badly? Well here’s the moment of truth: (hey it’s 4:25 now and I was out) I had broken down sobbing after you compared me to your dogs again :’) Look, sober me can rationally process your way of thinking. But... I guess deep down, we’re not the same, I want to be loved and appreciated like a human being. I’m genuinely sorry I couldn’t bring myself to tell you this sooner, idk what I was so scared of. So, uh, “worst” personality trait (which really isn’t one but)... omg I can’t even phrase this without turning it against myself ahaha, like it’s my own fault for telling you that everything was fine when it wasn’t. So look this isn’t even about your worst personality trait, I guess it’s me realizing I gotta stop lying about crap, and I hope you’ll be considerate and understanding like always :’)

1, 2, and BONUS BECAUSE I'M A STINKER, 10!

Omggg thanks dude!! NUMBER TEN, IM YELLING, this’ll be fun

1. an overheard conversation about your OC

*for context, this is a whispered conversation*Lander: “Psst, hey Kieran. Can you uh- can you keep a secret?”Kieran: “Yeah man, of course. Is somethin’ wrong?”Lander: “Oh not at all. You know that I’m not one for keeping secrets or anything but- I heard from the Captain that it’s Nox’s birthday tomorrow and no one has any plans so. Do you think you could help me get the Autumnweavers together for a sort of uh- surprise celebratory dinner? I don’t know what she would like, but I mean- yeah.”Kieran: “Aw, well ain’t that sweet! Sure, I’ll gladly help! Though... you’re trying to keep a secret from Nox? The Rogue? The one who found out I accidentally ate Her cereal after about 5 minutes?”Lander: “I know, I know! But I figure we’re the most efficient adventuring party out there! Combined with the all the knowledge and wisdom of the Autumnweavers, we can surely throw a little surprise party. This time we’ll be the stealthy ones!”Kieran: “Yeah, you’re probably right. One more thing, do you really think Zarra will help?”Lander: “...”Kieran: “I’ll bring drinks.”Lander: “Ah perfect! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to see- Is that? Is that Clementine over there?”Kieran: “Shit.”2. a letter written by your OC’s family memberYo sis!Long time, no see! I hope you’re doing well wherever you are! I would say come visit more but I’ve been seeing your wanted posters around the streets. It’s like I know a celebrity, ha! Othain has been pretty poppin’ since you left, and not in the Faekton way. There are more guards on the street than I’ve ever seen, and some of the outer districts have a curfew... So I guess only come visit if you really want a challenge. Though if you can’t make it, at least tell that nice friend of yours in the purple to come back. She bought three things last time! THREE! Nah, for real she was really nice, along with that other chill dude that stopped by. I’ll be honest that I feel relieved that you’re hanging out with some pretty competent people. I know it’s classic big brother stuff but I worry. Speaking of sibling stuff, when were you gonna tell me that you STOLE MY BOOK??? Did you even know I was looking for that for like 3 years? I mean you can keep it but jeez, you think you can trust someone. Anyway, I’ve got to open shop soon, but I love you and PLEASE try to stay out of the newspapers. And tell me when I can come to Courdray’s! I want to meet this Hair Lung because that HAS to be a made up person. From your bro,Riz3. a description of your OC by someone who hates them“Nox? Do I know Nox? Blazing hell, do I! She is the bane of my existence and a plague to this town! Sheeee thinks she’s so sly and that she can get away with everything! You know that my inventory goes down every time she visits my shop? And she NEVER BUYS A THING! Always tryin’ to swipe the tip jar too, I don’t know why I try anymore! All you can ask for in life is to try to run an honest business and then you have thievin’ hooligans tryin’ to ruin it for ya! I don’t know why Captain Kennecke puts up with her. If I were in charge, she’d be rotting in jail for 10- no! 20 years! That damn dragon, I tell ya, it makes me angry just looking at her. I hope she can’t sleep at night because of all the trouble she’s caused me. I just don’t know what to do anymore. That girl is a curse, an absolute terror to my livelihood!” -Jaskin, probably 

[therewas-a-girl]

promeytheus replied to your post “I know you love Felicity, but not everything on Arrow has to be about...”

The closest we got to felicity having s/l meant just for her was 4a with palmer tech and even then it really wasn't bc it was used to introduce Curtis and bring back Ray? But overall, after she was paralyzed, it kinda went back to being about her...until u know they scrapped out of nowhere. 

Even her being shot and paralyzed wasn’t that much about her, imo - i thought so when i was watching it, i hoped it was. But then when she and Oliver broke up, in exactly that scene where she just stands up and leaves the apartment without even finishing her sentence - i realized that the whole thing, her shooting, her being in a wheelchair, all of it, was done for the sake of oliver’s angsty reaction, and for the “”wow”” effect of her leaving him the moment she can walk. like some kind of shit metaphor or something. Emily’s interview where she says ‘they wanted Felicity out of that wheelchair as soon as possible’ just proves this, imo.

I was reading the av club review of this past ep and the author made some interesting points specifically that the reason felicity's s/l can struggle is bc it isn't fleshed out and when you put her in a scene with Oliver who pov often is fleshed out, the scene becomes about him, or the viewer gravitates towards his development. 

I especially hate the way they don’t take the time to explore her emotions, the consequences within her of the plot choices they enact through her. It would help us understand where’s she’s coming from better, instead of guessing at it. Instead we’re kept “”ins suspense””. 

*gAsPPp* waT wiLl sHeeeE Do NOw????? ooOOOHHH *Hitchcock suspense music blares in the distance!! 

*kill bill sirens blare inside my head*

He made an excellent point of pointing out that laurel got to be the center of her s/l bc she was distanced from Oliver, and tbh I think for these writers who always let the hero take precedent over the other characters, that distance from Oliver is necessary. The palmer tech s/l last season made Felicity the center and Oliver felt like a secondary character. 

Laurel - and Sara! I think 50% of the reason Sara was such a successful character in s2 was because she had her own mission! Her own protege, her own struggle, moral compass, dilemmas, conflicts. It fleshed her out, made her stand out. Made ppl empathize. She didn’t feel in function of Oliver, like some bracelet. She felt like a person.

Same with diggle. His best arc was in 4b and anytime he had a suicide squad s/l, and there was a significant amount of distance from Oliver. Rene/quentin s/l has benefitted from it too, but yeah I think the reason ppl see them as the same bc the writers a lot of times see them as the same (they always feel this need to write back towards Oliver and that’s completely unnecessary at this point)  

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

and the general olicity fandom want them to be one in the same. Just look at the arguments people where making during this season. Either ppl were pissed bc Felicity wasn't allowed to grow on her own and had to share the screen with billy or rory (but to be fair they were both so one dimensional they were more like talking boards than actual characters) or fandom wanted her to be in scenes with Oliver all the time. 

Like the writers, a good majority of fandom equate a felicity story with an Oliver/Felicity story.

(i just love this gif) 

to be quite honest, though i did love Billy, i felt in the beginning that he was unnecessary. I felt Felicity needed a friend, not a boyfriend. (though going with the story-line they have built for her now, the isolation, the driving away from the team and into Helix, i get why she was denied that.) BUT he was like you said - he was sweet, and there for Felicity exposition... and for Oliver to kill, later. (god i hate the way they handled that). When i dared skim the Felicity tag for meta, I absolutely DESPISED the way people dismissed her [nonexistent-on-screen] PTSD by dismissing Billy in the ‘wow she’s not in her right mind that’s why the boyfriend is there’ way. I feel like nobody would have given the smallest shit about her illness if they didn’t blame Billy on it. That - the boyfriend who was not oliver - was the only reason her illness made the radar.

And Rory - I LIKED Rory. he was her only friend! the only one she did talk to while he was there, after Curtis was too busy dealing with his own problems with his husband. But i guess if it’s not Oliver talking to her it doesn’t count.

[treeetales]

"Maybe they were someone who thinks their transgender or whatever?" What tHe FUCK does that even meean? I met a neat human today. who was really cool and nice and we hit it off. but I didn't get their gender so when a friend asked me if they were a guy or a girl, I just called them "they" but no this person was like "what do they look like? Nice, a sweet face. Was their voice deep? no, i guess it was kinda high pitched. "So it's a SheEee not a theeey!" "What? Well i dont know they siad their name was Alejandro" "Maybe they were someone who thinks their transgender or whatever?" How can you say that, when they could just be nonbinary, and if they are transgender it doesn't matter if they don't pass as their gender. And does one "think" their transgender, do you just imagine it or something?
