Chapter 5: Pink Badgers!

(Also in Ao3 :)) they also get updated first- might make a masterpost soon-)

[World Building Chapter]

".... What the fuck Vlad?" Dante just staring at Vlad Masters early in the morning in his day off, still in pajamas and casually drinking his freshly made coffee in a mug with text that said "Best Big Brother".

Ellie was hopping in happiness as her and Danny Cuddle like kittens in the couch.

"I have decided that I will need to assist you here in Gotham, the clock also demanded I keep him MUCH safer and I fully agree with him for the first time." Vlad adjusts his tie, " And do not worry, I will be staying in another place as to not disturb your .. peace here in this apartment and it ofcourse your privacy, but I do need you to do some things for me-" Vlad clears his throat and Danny rises from the couch still hugging Ellie.

"Are we going to a social event ...?" Danny asks hesitantly but also suspiciously, he stared at Vlad for a moment and Vlad just nods in confirmation.

"I will bribe you 2 if I have to—" Vlad was cut off by Dante's sudden Demand, "I'll come if you let me wear pink to prove a point to The twerp over there."

Vlad stared at Dante judgingly, and suspiciously as well. "Pink....? A pink suit...? You want... To wear that?" Vlad questioned slowly and Dante gave a Wide smug smirk and Nodded.

"Let's all wear pink!" Ellie suggests happily and mischievously with a wide smug grin.

"Ughh" Danny Dramatically rolls on the carpet as he dragged his palms on his face. "As long as my peace isn't disturbed, fiiiineeeee." Danny whined and sticks out his tounge.

Vlad sighs in defeat, "Fine... I suppose you all can wear pink.... I won't. For obvious reasons but you three can do whatever you want.. just please don't... Embarrass me too much Badgers." Vlad tried to reason with them at the very least.

"Can't promise anything Daddy!" Ellie giggled happily and Danny just stayed silent... Dante looked very mischievous and Scheming, Vlad knows very well he isn't safe with these 3 chaotic Badger's shenanigans.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

They arrived at the gala entrance in what Dante calls "In Style". Danny fixes his suit's cuff's as Dante Walked out with Danielle with their Sparkly Pink Outfits, Danny is the only one that's a less sparkly but still pink suit and Vlad in a normal suit.

Vlad doesn't even utter a word and just walks inside the gala hoping that he doesn't get stared at and all the attention goes to the trio in BRIGHT pink.

Danny was smug, it was funny seeing the Fruitloops struggle, Dante was even smugger and Danielle giggling chaotically in Dante's arms.

Vlad turns his head to to the Flamingo-Badgers, "Don't cause too much trouble... Especially you Daniel." Vlad states sternly but gently.

"Yeah yeah, Godson-Adopted Son-esque Heir to Dalv. Co." Danny chuckled, "And make sure to not interact too much with the Wayne's. Capiche?" Vlad tries to remind them.

"Ya know we can't promise anything Fruitloops." Dante chuckled menacingly. "Especially you Dante. Don't even get close to them." Vlad snaps and glared at Dante and he just sticks his tounge out in compliance.

Vlad carefully fixes Danny's tie and they entered the Gala, Immediately Dante stood out. As previously stated he is truly THE Eye Candy Overload™ even in a pink suit. Vlad had his hand on Danny's shoulder to help Danny not disassociate and adjust to the newer crowded surroundings.

Dante carried Ellie in his arm and Ellie giggled happily.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Timothy was suspicious, it was odd because the Demon Brat hasn't insulted him in the past 48 hours and rather has been staring at a star sticker in his Uniform's glove.

He even ignored Tim which honestly is both Relieving and also Concerning. It made him suspicious and paranoid.

Did the demon Brat possibly get replaced by a clone without them knowing?? Fuck. He needs to either ask Damian about it or HECK RESEARCH or well.. Stalking.

And thus, Timothy stalked Damian around the gala hopefully the demon spawn doesn't notice—.

Is that, is that the "Eye Candy™" of that Cafe. Why is he here? And is that—. IT'S THE LITTLE KID WHO CALLED HIM MR. ABYSSAL EYEBAGS— Tim hates that nickname, pray to the god or something that Damian doesn't hear about it... Or dick... Or Todd... Or anyone infact in his family.

Dante was with Danny and they were just chatting with some other people, the other people were... Very pleased to say the least.

Dante had his hand on Danny's shoulder, Danny felt more enlightened with his hand there. Tim speculates wether he should approach or not but his "stalking is my love/curious language" was interrupted by business partners, partly people who want to suck up to him thus his little journey to meet the kid again was cut off.

But the kid, "Danny" did spare him a glance even if just for a moment, atleast the kid noticed him.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Danny stared at the "Mr. Abyssal Eyeb—". That was one of the customers who frequently came to buy coffee and sit with him named Timothy. Why is he here? Danny thought but brushed it off as a mere coincidence. Danny patted Dante's hand on his shoulder and Dante promptly slid his hand down.

Danny walked away and wandered around to find the treats!. That's the only reason he was there, play pretend and eat rich people food... Jazz would've loved to be in a gala too... Danny shook his head and gently clapped his cheeks to shake off the dark thoughts.

As Danny ate subtly and secretively, he found himself side by side with Damian Wayne. He only knows him because of Sam saying he was an amazing Eco-friendly smth person.... The thought of his friends made him smile but he noticed Damian was staring at him.

Danny tilts his head in confusion, a soft long silence before Damian spoke out, "I apologize, I did not notice I was staring." Damian said and averted his eyes promptly fixing his tie. "It's fine! But... Do I know you by chance?" Danny asked, his voice is familiar but he can't pinpoint where he had heart it, "No, I don't think so." Damian says with a gentle voice. It was odd but Danny likes his presence.

Danny noticed that Damian had a Star Shaped Ornament in his suit as a clip, Danny's Inner Obsession was piqued and interested because of how shiny it is. No wonder Dante sometimes called him a Crow— but that's not the point.

Damian noticed him staring at the ornament.

"Do you... Like this?" Damian held the clip out to Danny.

"Ah! Sorry for staring at it.. it was just so shiny." Danny says nervously whilst chuckling and Damian just handed it to him.

"Huh?" Danny was shocked, "You can have it" Damian, smiled subtly. Not very obvious but it was still the smallest smile ever BUT STILL A SMILE.

"A-are you sure?" Danny asks very excitedly, like a puppy with a new toy.(Damian thinks so.) And Damian just nodded making Danny even happier as he thanked profusely and Damian just pats his shoulder to reassure him.

They continued to talk about Stars, Danny loves stars. And space. He loves it very much!

Damian listened to him as he blabbered on about constellations, it made Danny's core Purr.

It reminds him of when jazz would listen to him as well, even buying him NASA posters and Glow in the dark star ceiling stickers.

Man.

He misses her dearly.... She would've been so happy for her dear little brother, Her Precious.

What about us?

Pairing: Lewis Hamilton x ex!Reader

Warnings: mentions of loneliness, sadness, breakup, co-parenting and maybe more

Summary: Where Lewis hasn't been himself lately.

Next Chapter

Lewis and I met when I was working in the media department at Mercedes, I wouldn't say we fell in love at first, but he was definitely the guy I loved most in my life.

But unfortunately not everything we love stays in our lives forever.

We dated for 3 years and then when 2021 came, he was so devastated that the title was taken away from him that our relationship didn’t last.

He was so out of himself that u didn’t recognized him anymore, I seem like the man I love was taken away from me when he lost that day.

So that when we decided to go in separated ways.

But 3 months after i found out that u was pregnant with our daughter and we had to get our path together again. He said to me the day I told him about my pregnancy that I saved him for making the stupidest mistake of his life because he was about to retire from formula 1.

The internet already new that we weren’t together anymore but they just discovered my pregnancy when he posted about it.

We obviously will have a connection for the rest of our lives and I am extremely happy that we manage to be in good terms or co-parenting would have been harder.

I would be lying if I said it was easy because it wasn’t, the fact that we are separated makes Harley's schedule and routine harder than would be if we were together.

Today is Harley’s 3th birthday and I’m was going crazy with everything, she wanted a formula 1 themed party and it was all thanks to her father who got her addicted to the sport.

So here I was running around my apartment to decorate everything while she was with Sebastian and his wife.

Kika is here with Pierre and the other boys helping me with the party.

Lately he was kind of absent, he obviously came to see Harley but when I tried to talk to him, Lewis answered as little as possible and my messages he didn't even answer.

I had been trying to get him to help me with her birthday but now I was worried that he wouldn't come.

I hope he is only busy now in the afternoon because I will kill him if he doesn't show up.

We live in Monaco so some of the drivers came since they are all passionate about Harley.

This includes George, Pierre, Sebastian, Charles, Carlos, Daniel, Max and Lando.

Max and Lewis were not biggest fans of each other, far from it, but Benjamin his son was best friends with Harley so we met occasionally. And above all they treated each other with respect so we had an acceptable relationship for the sake of our children.

And Lewis hated that Harley adored Uncle Max.

The party had been going on for two hours and nothing came of him, I didn't know whether to be worried or angry.

"Mommy, where's Daddy?"

"I don't know my love, he should be here soon." She agrees a little discouraged but runs to where Ben and Max were.

"Anthony do you know where Lewis is?" I asked his father who was talking to my parents.

"I don't know darling, he said he would be a little late but he would come." I sighed in frustration. "I'll try to call him."

"Thank you."

He left to try to call his son and I went off to try to concentrate on distracting Harley with play.

…

He appeared in the middle of the party and I sighed with relief when I saw him coming through the door with Angela with him, Harley ran up to her father and I was happy to see her smile.

"How nice of you to come." I hugged Angela and she smiled.

"You've done well with the decorations." She said and I thanked her. "Can I talk to you? I want to take advantage of the fact that he's distracted by her."

I looked at the two of them and Harley was talking non-stop and he was listening attentively.

"Sure." We went into the kitchen where no one was around. "Is everything all right?"

"I'm not sure, I'm a bit worried about him."

"What happened?"

"I arrived at his apartment today and everything was a mess and he was asleep on the sofa." I was surprised because he rarely slept during the day and his apartment was always spotless. "I tried to talk to him but you know how he is, Lewis doesn't open up easily but he ended up saying that he wasn't happy and that he missed you both a lot."

"But we're always here."

"I think he misses a family." I sighed because I understood his feeling. "You know that he loves you both more than anything in the world and I remember when you were together he was planning to marry you, have children and have you live in a more secluded house so that you wouldn't be swallowed up by the media but from one moment to the next his plan became just a dream."

"I understand."

"And the only thing that's kept him going over the last few years is that little girl and the fact that you're her mother because that's what's kept you in his life. But he hasn't been the same for a while."

"I've noticed that he's been acting strange lately, he doesn't talk to me directly and avoids me whenever he can."

"Because he knows that you know him like the back of your hand and that you would know what was wrong with him." She takes my hand. "I'm not telling you this because I want you to feel guilty or anything, but I wanted to ask you to talk to him and try to help him in any way you can."

"All right, I'll talk to him after the party."

...

I said goodbye to the last few people and the only ones that were still around was Max, Ben and Lewis

"Buddy it's about time we go home." He says trying to talk the boy off the trampoline.

"Not yet Daddy, wait a little longer." He says short of breath from jumping around.

"If you don't mind I can take him to your apartment later."

"All right, thanks." He said goodbye and went home.

They kept jumping on the trampoline while Lewis was inside grabbing the trash.

After 10 minutes Bem said he was tired and i asked Lewis to watch Harley while I take him to his father and when I came back I could hear them in her room.

"I've missed you so much, Daddy." She says, already lying on her bed.

"I missed you too baby bear." She smiles tiredly and closes her eyes. He kisses her forehead and stays there for a few more minutes until he sees that she's asleep.

"Hey." He smiles as soon as he sees me outside her room. "I'm sorry I couldn't help, I got caught up with some work stuff."

He was lying but I knew it was juts for me not to worry about him.

"It's okay, I sorted it out." He smiled and went back into the living room. "Are you all right?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"Maybe because I know you better than you think." He sighs. "You don't have to tell me what it is, but I want you to know that I care about you."

"It's just that everything's been a bit too much lately."

"What do you mean?"

"The constant pressure at work, the media, the fact that I'm not there for you two every day. Everything." He turns to me. "I just don't know how much I can take anymore."

"Lewis..."

"I miss you, and I miss us, I miss Harley and this feeling that I'm good at what I do has been haunting me."

"But you are good."

"Apparently not so much because I can't even stand on the podium." I sighed. "I don't expect you to understand but I don't think I want to do this anymore."

"What do you want to do then?" He looks at me. "You know that Harley and I don't care if you're a driver or not, we care about you too much to worry about whether you're still in Formula 1 or not."

"It's just that I've lived this for so long that I just wish I could be with you every day without worrying about having to catch a flight to the other side of the world."

"I understand and I'll support you in whatever you decide.

"Thank you." I sat down on the sofa and nudged him to sit next to me, which he did, resting his head on my shoulder. "You know I love you, don't you?"

"I know, I love you too."

"But I love you in a way that..."

"I know, and I love you the same way." He looks at me. "I understood what you meant from the start."

"And what does that mean for us?"

"I don't know but we don't need to find out today, we have plenty of time." He smiles and we lie down on the sofa.

Guys I have so many ideias for another chapters of Lewis being Harleys dad so if you guys want to read the next chapters let me know so I’ll tag you guys.

[russellsppttemplates]

Hiiii, I was wondering if you could write something about the reader being sick and the kids are causing chaos and then a driver gets mad at the kids or something, thank you :)

Cw: reader is sick

"No, Soph, you can't do that", Daniel said as your oldest daughter suggested that she could change her wardrobe all on her own as long as she could climb up on the "grown up" ladder you and Daniel used and that way you could still rest, "But daddy...!", she tried again, pushing for it one more time.

Daniel sighed, composing himself before replying back to her. He had arrived late last night only to find out that you had spent the afternoon with the girls at home since they were off school, clubs and activities long gone since you didn't feel good and weren't sure you'd be able to go and pick them up. When you had enough energy to pick them up from school to begin with, you didn't want to take it for granted, so tea, soup and cuddles were the agenda after you took the medication you hoped would make you feel better.

"Princess, we don't have to rush and switch your wardrobe now, okay? When mummy feels better, we can think about doing it", he stated before he turned to Alice, "let's go and see if mummy's feeling better?", he asked, carrying the tray with food and drinks for you.

"I'm not sleeping", you mumbled as Alice breathed on your face, checking if you were asleep per Daniel's request.

"Daddy made you food, mummy", she smiled, kissing your cheek while Daniel set it up on his side of the bed so you could help yourself to what you wanted.

"I'm going to tidy the mess this little lady made in the kitchen", he said, kissing your cheek before exiting the room.

Noise coming from Soph's room caught his attention as a loud thud echoed from there. As he opened the door, your oldest had successfully thrown some of her clothes on the floor, "Sophia", Daniel sterned as he saw the girl climb on the second step. He only reserved her full name for when he was being serious, so she knew she had pushed the boundaries, "I told you not to do it, didn't I?", he asked, keeping his tone in the same level because he didn't want to yell. He knew yelling wouldn't do any good, but between his tiredness and worry about you, as well as juggling the girls, it was getting hard to keep his emotions at bay.

"I'm sorry, daddy, I just wanted to help", she tried, tentatively hugging him and accepting his hug, "I know you did, princess, but next time, really listen to what I say, okay?", he asked, "c'mon, let's join mummy and Alice and see if they need anything", Daniel held her on his hip, kissing her cheek and going back to check on his other two girls.

Daniel Ricciardo (Alpha Tauri) - It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

Prompt: It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

Warnings: nope

The snow fell delicately to the ground in Woking as the Ricciardo children  ran around, gawking into each and every toy shop window and their parents Daniel and Y/n walking right behind them. "Mummy! Look at that one!" The oldest child, Gracey gasped, pointing in at a huge doll. "Isn't she so lovely? You could write to Santa and ask for it maybe?" She shrugged her shoulders. "Or daddy could buy it for me now! He has loads of money! He drives cars mummy!" Both Daniel and Y/n's mouth hung open. "Where did you get the cheek, Gracey Ricciardo?" Daniel asked, picking her up in his arms. "Mummy says I'm just like you so maybe you?" He laughed at her witty response. "Come on,

"Gracey? Can you be careful with Joey please?" Y/n asked as she took the little boy from his pram. "I will mummy. I'm his big sister now!" She announced proudly, taking his mittne covered hands and leading him out a bit to teach him how to make snowballs. Daniel and Y/n walked behind them, smiling on. "Don't you just love the Christmas holidays?" Y/n asked as she linked arms with her husband. He let out a sigh. "I just can't wait for school to start again." Daniel whispered. Y/n slapped his chest lightly. "I'm messing with you." Daniel laughed. "You better be! I hate seeing them going every morning." Daniel pulled a face. "And why is that?" he asked."I don't know, it means I'm all alone because you're either at the factory or at races."

Daniel looked at her worried. Back before they had two kids, they were always free to do whatever they wanted. She always had Friday to Sunday off work so they could always go to races together but now they had the kids, they had a life built for them in England so to bring them to different places every week could mess with them but maybe, just maybe, it was time to bring them along for once. "Do you think you should start going back to races then?" She looked up at him. "Well, I'm not sure. I-" Y/n was interrupted by her husband yelping as he felt a snowball hit the back of his head, the water trickling down his back. She giggled as she saw his face all scrunched up. "Which one of you threw that?!" The two children began laughing and before they could answer, Daniel was chasing after them.

Y/n sat on the bench, with the pram. She watched her little family running around, laughing. Their laughs reached up to the heavens and filled the skies. It was a truly merry sound. She spotted her little boy, Joey waddling towards her in his blue coat and mittens. "Aw, what's wrong my baby?" she asked, picking him and hugging him. "Th-now." He replied. He meant to say snow but he had a slight lispe. "Aw, does my baby not like the snow?" he shook his head. "Aw. Poor baby." she cradled him before looking back to Gracey and Daniel. He began rolling a lump of snow, presumably to make a snowman. "Look at that! Daddy and Gracey are going to make a snowman!" Joey looked over and blinked a few times before excitedly pulling away from his mother to run and join in building the snowman.

"Having fun?" she called over. Daniel showed her a mischievous grin. "Oh no, don't you dare!" She warned. Then, Daniel, Gracey and Joey charged at her with huge snowballs in hand. She began sprinting like her life depended on it but eventually, she got tired and Daniel caught up to her. "No Daniel! No-" She shrieked as the snow slammed onto her head and drizzled trickled her back and to add insult to injury, she felt two mini snowballs attack her legs. "Daniel." she whined. "That wasn't nice." He helped her shake the snow off. "You're alright, you're alright. We're sorry." She shook her head. "That was shocking behaviour Daniel Ricciardo." she said. "Come on, we'll go home. It's freezing." Daniel suggested, picking up Joey and putting him in the pram and Y/n taking Gracey's hand to start their walk home.

Once they finally did reach home, Daniel and Y/n closed the door and felt at ease at the warmth of the house made them feel better already. "You look quite handsome in that coat." Y/n said, pulling him in by the collar of the black funnel neck coat. "I might wear this coat more often then darling." He grinned as his lips met hers in a soft kiss. "Aren't you just so considerate?" Daniel hummed in response. "I'm pretending to be Santa." She pecked his lips again. "That would make me Mrs Clause, wouldn't it?" He thought for a moment. "I don't know, I like the sound of Mrs Ricciardo better." Her heart rate quickened. "That was smooth." she chuckled. "It was. I had to think about it too." The pair burst into laughter.

"Come to the first race of the season with me." She let out a sigh. "What about the kids?" she asked. "Bring them too." She looked at him. "Are you sure?" He nodded and curled his arms around her waist. "Of course I am. There's nothing I'd love more." "Okay, we'll go." He smiled, still holding her close. "Oh look." He pointed up, showing off a piece of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling. "You know what that means." She nodded and slowly but surely leaned in further until their lips met. "I love you." Daniel whispered.

"I love you too."

hello could you please do an imagine of being nervous to tell pedro your pregnant then how he would be throughout the pregnancy please.

Agent Whiskey (Jack Daniels) x f!reader

A/N: I changed your request to Whiskey because it screams Whiskey honey, I'm sorry if you're disappointed 💔

When you found out you were pregnant, you never such anxiety before

You were sure you were taking your birth control pills correctly so it was a huge surprise when you felt the classic symptoms: nausea, tiredness, delays in your period and of course you also knew contraception could fail but it was usually that kind of thing you thought that would happen to other people, not you

And the fact Jack finished inside of you most of the time didn't help

At your first symptoms, neither of you even thought of the possibility, brushing it off as a cold or something simple, but as he left for a mission you got intrigued and by the time you decided to take the test, you weren't sure if the symptoms were so evident or if you were too paranoid and it was the only thing you could think about

So you took the test and you couldn't believe it when it came out positive

So you decided to take a blood test to be 100% sure

And you were 100% pregnant

And then you spent the rest of the days wondering how you could tell Jack about it, as you two never really discussed about having kids but you knew all about his past and all the trauma that came with it

So you were really really scared of his reaction. What if he didn't like it? What if he sent you away? Broke up with you? So many scenarios ran through your mind and it all increased the worry you felt

And then Jack returned home, he had missed you so much, he could swear he was getting too old for that, before you he loved the thrill of going on a mission, flying the world and kicking bad guy' asses, but now all he could think of was coming back home alive for you

So he thought it was a little odd how startled you were around him and how you'd jump whenever he entered a room unannounced

Jack was great at observing and he could tell something was definitely going on, you were never wary around him like that and you definitely didn't refuse his touch like you were doing

So he just cornered you and demanded to know what was going on. A lot of insecure thoughts also ran through his mind. Were you in love with someone else? You didn't love him anymore?

But all these thoughts were dead and gone the moment he saw your eyes filling up with tears and your shaky voice admitting you were pregnant

Jack's mouth went dry, his own eyes filled with tears and he was sure the air escaped his lungs

He could feel his own hand shaking with nervousness and shock but he still touched your womb, he smiled at you and kissed your lips, his heart racing at the happiness he felt at that moment, he was going to be a dad after all

And during the months that passed, Jack was nothing but loving and protective of you and the baby, he would cuddle you at every single opportunity, his hand on your belly, stroking it and talking to the baby inside so the baby gets used to his voice

Jack taking you to all the appointments and always being with you, holding your hand and crying when the two of you listened to your baby's heartbeats every time

Jack building the nursery by himself, panting the walls, fixing up the room, picking the decoration, helping you place the baby clothes in the dresser

Getting a tiny little baby stetson hat so your kid can be a cowboy like their daddy

Massaging your swollen feet and your aching back

Making sure to remind you how beautiful and desirable you are even if you don't feel that way as your due date approaches

Jack freaking out when your water broke and rushing you to the hospital

Holding your hand through the whole thing, praising and encouraging you for doing an amazing thing which is literally giving birth to another human being

And finally Jack not being able to hold back his emotion and crying when he holds his newborn for the first time, being so mesmerized at how perfect that tiny little baby and how much he loves them

Can't blame Danielle when it's wymack we talk about.

Au vise do you think David ever was in situation where he had to explain someone why relationship with him is not in realm of possibility ? Do you think he would see a need for such conversation as his failure of setting boundaries in the first place ? Would he ask bee or Abby for advice if he needed one ?

Would Dan be happy when those feelings are addressed in therapy and she can apreciate platonic relationship with coach for what it is

I like digging into concepts

now that it seems the heat has died on that subject matter... i'll gladly and gratefully answer u my friend <3 thank you for getting it.

AU wise, i DEFINITELY 100% think Wymack has had to establish boundaries in his career as PSU Coach. oh how i would looooove to write the first time it happened. add it to the pile of wips.

i think... the overall sentiment of surprise he's slapped with when he has to face such a situation for the first time, is divided into many levels.

a) at some point, when you're collecting kids with parental issues coming out of their noses and asses, you gotta be ready for when some misplaced attachments occur. Wymack is def not ready, which is very very dumb of him. Abby saw it coming. Bee saw it coming. how did he not? big big oversight of him. now he's gotta deal with things wayyyy above his paygrade for that mistake. surprise mf! the care and tough love you provided your team has been misinterpreted by an unadjusted athlete! what did you expect david. really.

b) not to borrow too much from dbh's Hank Anderson, but i like to believe Wymack is partly surprised that one of his athletes is infatuated with him, because it's him we're talking about. he is not the same man who won over Kayleigh Day, is not as in shape and confident in his body, and despite the scarce hook-ups here and there over the years since her, Kayleigh herself was not much more than a fwb situationship herself. Wymack can't see past his family history and all his scars (mental and physical) when it comes to romantic relationships. so for a young thing to confess to him? good ol' Coach? gotta be a joke. he's not flattered at all, he's baffled. he is also very much concerned about his athlete beyond this unprofessional and inappropriate infatuation. like, wtf are your standards? let's address that. if it'd been, like, Abby, of course he'd get it. but him? yikes, man. (Bee screams into her pillow about this self-deprecating bs Wymack refuses to consult about. somebody worship this man, please! not you Greenberg tho. you get therapy for your daddy issues. it's never gonna happen.)

c) it worries Wymack very much that he did not see this developing, and it plants doubt in his ability to manage his team, his players, and provide them with what they need. it's not about setting boundaries and closing that door, because he didn't even know there was a door to close to begin with. it's about knowing that door exists and noticing it open. it really destabilizes him, to the point he's not sure he even knows his players anymore, if he's even capable of seeing through their bs, to the point where he doubts if he even should be Coach of such a complex and precarious team. surely someone out there is more qualified. surely someone out there is more well-adjusted and observant. i don't know which OG Foxes gets through to him, but i know it takes one of them, or more, to tell him that it's not about being qualified and parrying every issue before they even arise, but about wanting to be there, for them, wanting the best for them, and wanting to give them chances. surely you can give yourself that chance too, Coach? talks w/ Bee and Abby are def had, but ultimately it's the Palmetto Nines that get him though it.

about Dan now. bc i based myself on my own issues for her misplaced infatuation with Wymack, i'll once again base myself on lil 'ole me for how she copes with it: she is taking that one to the grave. she's able to fly under the radar of Bee's built-in bs detector. she's just glad she's not the only one to get those yucky feelings, that yes she does have issues but it's also normal, and well, by the time a newer Fox infatuates themself with Wymack, she is well over it and the case is closed. she even teases Wymack about the number of recruits who thirst over him over the years (once Wymack is able to treat as a joke too, like, years down the line and he hears other coaches having the same problem and the Foxes having a betting pool on who the next poor fool is. once Nicky overtly makes his objective appreciation known, and there are polls online. etc.)

I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE IT!

but maybe you know people who can make this story and others better? Then ask them, please, they can't hear me.

Dad is unhappy

✨️Imagine✨️

Daniel doesn't know what he's doing here.

He is sitting on a chair with a microphone in his hand. There is a poster with the logo of the Formula 1 women's series behind his back. There are a lot of girls in front of him. He used to sell his soul for this. But a lot has changed since then. So they interviewing him. On the one hand, he feels bitterness from his words. On the other hand, these girls look at him as if he is their father and tells the most interesting bedtime story in their lives. Hamda is sitting right next to him and looks proud. He's here because of her. Hamda wrote to him on Instagram, "Will you have the opportunity to participate in the event?" He was surprised that Susie hadn't texted him. But then, he remembered Goodwood. Daniel exchanged a few words with Hamda. She seemed nice to him and very interested in racing. Blake said he needed to stop feeling sorry for himself and get over it. That's why he's here. Answers the girls' questions about racing. If only someone had ever said... well, yeah, now he feels like a father in a classroom at school. In that very open lesson, when parents talk about their profession. Does he even have the right to say something about his profession if he is now unemployed? He is in the middle of his answer when the door opens, and Max appears with the PR girl from Red Bull. The same poor girl who scolds every time Max answers questions incorrectly. Daniel loses his thought, meets the gaze of Hamda, who looks like she's going to get into trouble, crumple his answer. Hamda's sister...Amna, yes, right, and their Red Bull contract colleague, a girl from the Netherlands, how it...Emely... turn around, see Max and... giggle? God, he's definitely at school. One of the girls raises his hand and asks a question. "Have you ever had a romantic relationship with colleagues?..on team?" The girls giggle... How did they turn from cute babies into puberty teenagers? How did the questions about racing get to this?

To be honest, Daniel thought that the questions about his personal life would be, but he quickly waved this thing off because they are all professionals here. He shouldn't have waved it off... And right in front of Max. Who looks not happy, gloomy, and he crosses arms over his chest.

"Oh," Daniel hears from his right side.

"It seems daddy is not happy..." Uh, excuse me?

Susie expertly finishes his performance, and at the moment when Dan thinks that Max is about to switch places with him... Susie is closing the whole event. What? Everyone is applauding, taking photos quickly. Damn, he didn't want to show up here. He thought he would answer everything quickly and run away. From reporters, photographers... from Max. But here he is, hugging a bunch of girls, smiling at the camera again. Max is still standing there, still frowning, still crossing his arms over his chest.

🦁🍯🦡

When Max showed up at the event, Daniel had already realized that he would not get rid of him. And now they're standing somewhere in the paddock, where there don't seem to be any photographers, Netflix can still hear them... right? They're probably omnipresent.

"You haven't answered my messages."

"I didn't answer anyone." And what was he supposed to say. Max's comment under the post about the end of Dan's career was sweet. At least someone didn't bury him. But... Daniel couldn't reply to messages and all those posts. He's stunned. Overwhelmed by the love of fans and friends, but saddened by some other posts. He considers them more truthful than posts about love for him.

"But you answered Hamda."

"This... It's a strange situation... I... I don't know how it happened."

"You could have said you were coming here."

"I didn't want to..."be here"... distract anyone. You know, they would have attacked..."

"I was worried about you. Thanks to your parents for keeping me informed. Joe said you were fixing one of your motorcycles, but he didn't say why you were fixing it. You didn't break it, did you? I was joking about a broken collarbone... well... then... but of course I didn't want you to really break it."

And Max says it without interruptions, in one breath. It's not fast or nervous, like he's worried. It's just that Max is dumping his thoughts on Dan. As always. But Daniel's brain was stuck on the words "I was worried about you... your parents for keeping me informed".

"You... Have you talked to my parents?"

"I didn't know Blake's number." Max said as the simplest fact in life. But like?

"But did you know my parents' numbers?"

"Of course, Daniel, I knew their numbers."

Daniel is still trying to comprehend the situation. His feelings are ready to explode, a lump in his throat prevents him from speaking, thoughts in his head cannot stop. He's going to cry. Max. Kind, honest, loyal Max. He always tells the truth. Almost always... He never said some words but he always showed it by his actions. Or Daniel hoped that was what Max's actions said. He called Dan's parents to find out how he was doing, when Daniel was mired in self-pity, ran away from everything, tried to find himself, tried to forget those terrible weekends and bury his thirst for victory, speed, his childhood dreams deeper so that it wouldn't hurt so much. When he didn't believe that he was a son that his parents be proud of, that he was a good man and was a great racer. While Dan is trying to figure out what he should do with all this, three girls look around the corner and watch them.

"It seems like dads have pulled themselves together."

"And if something goes wrong?"

"Everything will be fine. Look at them. I'm already sick of Max's gaze. Those hearts in his eyes will ruin his capillaries."

[onboardsorasora]

Been thinking about how Lewis and Daniel met. How Daniel became his sugar baby. I hope it's kinda fluffy, if not we can forget it ever happened

“You're in school?” Lewis asked, he leaned against the couch with his head propped up on an upturned palm, giving Daniel his attention. He liked the way he spoke, liked looking at how his mouth formed his words. There was something sexy about it. And how wild his gesticulations got when he was excited about something.

Daniel blushed, suddenly shy whereas before he was a bundle of energy.

“Uh yeah. Taking my second or third sabbatical I think.” Daniel chucked in a self deprecating way.

“What are you supposed to be studying?” Lewis' interest was piqued. Daniel had been fairly open until now, talking about how he met Charles while partying in Italy and they'd become friends.

“Art history. It's what you study when you're not sure what you should be studying.” Daniel scratched his cheek, “that or philosophy.”

“Didn't feel like thinking your brain into knots?” Lewis teased, swallowing the pride that bubbled up when Daniel threw his head back in a laugh.

“Yeah nah, I didn't feel like looking too deeply into I think therefore I am…. Or am I?” Daniel grinned when Lewis giggled.

“So what do you want to do?”

“I haven't really figured it out. I like bikes, I like traveling. I haven't figured out how to make them work for me I guess?” Daniel shrugged, shy again.

“So you're taking a break, getting some mental stimulation. How'd you end up in Monaco?” 

“Charles kidnapped me.” Daniel looked exasperated. “He was all ‘you should come with me!” He did a poor imitation of Charles’ accent. “‘If you are worried about money we can get you a sugar daddy.’” Daniel laughed freely before freezing, face becoming pinched. “Not that– that isn't what this is– uh. Fuck.” He stammered, honey eyes wide with apprehension and regret.

Lewis watched as he bit his lip self consciously. He blinked slowly, consideringly. He'd had a sugar baby before, a girlfriend experience to be more specific. Where he took care of her needs and they simulated a relationship for a few months. It was a good experience, he got what he needed out of it and so did she. He didn't think that he could do the same with Daniel. 

He already felt himself becoming obsessed with him. Lewis liked what he saw and wanted it for himself.

“I'm sorry if I offended you.” Daniel muttered, dragging his palm down his face with a small groan.

“What would you need to stay in Monaco?” Lewis asked instead, he bit back his smile when Daniel looked over at him in wide eyed shock.

“I– you don't. Please I'm not like trying to like– please don't feel like you have to offer.”

“Daniel, if you don't stay in Monaco then I can't ask you out. Think of it as my own selfishness.” Lewis said placidly and Daniel gaped at him. 

“I literally only came with a suitcase.” Daniel said softly. His face an embarrassed flush.

“Daniel, can I give you an apartment?” Lewis smiled lazily, sexily. Daniel covered his cheeks with his palms. “So I can take you on a date?”

Daniel licked his lips, “how about you kiss me before you start spending money on me?”

“I can do that.” Lewis smirked, leaning over to press his lips to Daniel's.

“Stomach Ache” (1/2)

(Unedited) (Support Me Links🌺) (Poly! Mom!Sam/Mom!Reader/Dad!Miguel, Domestic Life, Mention of Sickness, Slight Mention of Vomit) ( Wouldn't feel right if I didn't tag @gemini-sensei 🫣)

Reader moaned out in annoyance as she tries to hold up her daughter. The four-year-old twisted and turned, squealing as she tried to get out of her mothers hold. The girl was tucked under her arm.

“Noooo!!! I don't want to go, I want to go see Mommy too!!” the four year old screamed. Her fists clenched and hitting the air. Swinging freely.

“But you get to go see Nonno and Grandpa isn't that fun? Daddy's going with you and you get to watch them train at the dojo. It will be fun I promise.”

“No I want Mommy!!” she thrashed harder.

Reader rolled her eyes as she tried to push her bag up her arm as she tried to contain the girl. She knew the girl was going to be mad about the fact she was going out to see Sam. She shouldn't have mentioned it. She honestly didn't mean to bring up going to see her Mommy at work but she accidentally let it spill.

Dang her for having those big brown eyes like her Daddy.

Why did she have to have a love for big brown puppy dog eyes.

The little girl was quickly working her nerves up. This little scene had been going on for over twenty minutes with the girl begging to go see her Mommy at work.

Reader just couldn't do it today. Her schedule was just too hectic to drag the poor girl around town all day. She had multiple errands to run all day long and she couldn’t, she had to little time in the day to worry about being the girl with her every where she went.

And the fact that she felt sick also wasn’t helping the situation.

When Miguel said he could take her to the dojo with him to work she was thrilled. She would get to go see Daniel and Johnny and she would have the whole day with Miguel as well. Reader thought that might lessen the blow of not going with her that day. Sam forgot her lunch so Reader was going to stop by really quick to drop it off. It was only going to be a quick-second stop kinda thing.

“Miguel please come get your daughter. She’s attached herself to me and won’t let go~” Reader sang out.

Miguel rounded the corner just in time and smiled. Walking over to her he tried his best to shimmy the girl off of Reader. Her hands slapping at everything that came near her.

After a good minute or two Miguel was able to get the girl off Reader and into his own arms. He set her down and a split second later she was off running again. She flopped onto the couch and screamed into the cushions.

“Should I ask about that or?”

“She’s upset that I’m not going to taking her to drop off Sam’s lunch at the office.”

“But she loves going to see Johnny and Daniel.”

“Well clearly today is a I want Mommy day…”

Reader groaned before covering her mouth. Her stomach was on the frieze all morning now and she hated it. The minute she got out of bed that morning she knew something was up. Her stomach felt all kinds of bad. Luckily she had yet to actually throw up anything, even the breakfast she had.

Miguel quirked a brow as he looked at his wife. He watched as she gagged a bit but slowly pulled her hand away from her mouth. She took a slowly breath out of her mouth and calmed down.

“You feeling alright? You look a little pale in the face there.” He kissed her cheek as he gave her a small side hug. She sighed into him and closed her eyes from a split second. Her brow knitted as she gathers herself.

“I’m fine, just woke up with a bad stomach ache, I’ll be ok. I’ll take something for it later if it’s not better when I get back later today.”

“Did I make Mama sick?” A small voice said from the couch. Their daughters little head picking out from the side of the couch. Her big eyes wide and a frown pasted on her little face. Reader laughed a little. She knew the girl was upset by the tone of her voice.

She clearly didn’t care about what just happened a few minutes ago and was now worried about her Mama not feeling good.

“No baby you didn’t make Mama sick, she hasn’t felt good since she got up. I will be fine, please just go have fun with your Daddy at work. That will make me feel better.” She smiles as the girl gets off the couch and runs over to her. She hugs her Mama’s leg before trying to kiss at her hip.

Reader can’t help the small giggle she lets out as she bends down and kisses her cheek. The girl does the same back and then laches onto her Daddy’s pants leg.

Reader is quick to say good bye before grabbing the forgotten lunch from the fridge and her car keys. She pulls out of the driveway and heads off toward Sam’s office.

It was about a twenty minute drive do to traffic but she finally makes it there in one piece. She parks and heads into the small office building. The building is a bit quiet and the lobby is almost bare of clients. Reader greets the normal receptionist at the front with a small smile. The older woman up front smiles and waves her back, pointing back at Sam’s office door.

Reader walks back and gives a small knock to the door before Sam’s voice calls out from the other side with a small “Come in!” that was muffled by the heavy door. Reader opens it and walks in.

She’s greated by Sam typing away at her computer. Her eyes glued to the screen as she looks something over. Her fingers bang on the keys as she types away. She looks up for a brief moment before stopping what she’s doing and completely turns around. She grins and gets up from her plush chair. She comes from around the office desk and gives her wife a small kiss on the lips.

They both have small smiles on their lips as they stare at each other for a good minute.

“You forgot this at the house and I thought I would stop by and bring it to you.” Reader shakes the small bag full of food containers. She sets it on the desk as Sam eyes it for a moment before looking back at her.

“Thanks babe, I didn’t even think to grab it. Thanks for being it to me, lunch would have been crap if you didn’t. I don’t think I could do take out again.”

It’s almost as of the word “take out” was a trigger because a moment later Reader was gagging. Maybe thing about food when she was feeling so sick wasn't such a good idea. A bit of vomit filled her mouth but she was lucky enough to not actually spew it out of her mouth. She quickly swallowed but covered her mouth. Tears prickled at her eyes. Sam’s eyes widened as she watches.

“Shit are you ok? I know you said you weren’t feeling good before I left- you didn’t have to come down here just to bring me lunch if you were so sick you would vomit.” Her voice is laced with worry as Reader shakes her head.

“I’m fine I promise. It’s just a little nausea that’s all, that was the first time I actually had anything come up so far. I just have a few things I have to do before I go back home.”

Her wife doesn’t look pleased at all with the answer.

“If your don’t feel any better by tonight then tomorrow we call the doctor and get you a appointment. We don’t want you getting a stomach bug or something.” Her eyes are filled with seriousness. Her lips pouted.

Reader pulls her hand away from her mouth and gives a half hearted smile. Her wife was a little to protective some times. Even over the smallest things like a small stomach ache.

“I love you~”

“I love you too but you're not going to get out of going to the doctor if you try and lie to me later when we get home and you still don't feel good.” Reader rolled her eyes before Sam gave her a small kiss to the cheek.

Reader waved at her before leaving her office and making her way out of the lobby. She left the building quickly and went back to the car.

She threw her bag into the passage side seat and shut her door after sliding into the driver's seat. She rested her head on the steering wheel for a few minutes with her eyes closed. Her stomach bubbled and twisted. She slowly lifted herself from her slumped position and laid back in her seat. One of her hands ran over her face as she let out a shaky breath. She hadn't felt this sick in years, at least not stomach-wise.

She relished in the silence of the inside of her car before a small chime and short vibration sounded out, echoing in the ones silent space. She looked over to her bag, dug into it and pulled out her phone.

A notification popped up from Miguel. She unlocked her phone and clicked on the new message. A smile tugged at her like as she read the short message saying that Miguel and their daughter made it to the dojo safely.

She tapped on the photo that popped up not even a moment later under the text.

It was a picture of their daughter doing a little pose that she was copying from Daniel who was beside her. She was giggling as Daniel showed her how to stand in the new position. Johnny was in the background behind them, arms crossed and looking pissed at Daniel. Clearly jealous because he wasn't getting the little girls attention.

The happy feeling only lasted for a few minutes before a new notification from another app popped up.

“Having issues? Possible forgotten check in? Please review your calendar to fix issue.”

Reader felt the color drain from her face as she stared shocked at the notification. Her eyes wide and mouth wide open.

“Shit-”

To be continued.....

2 : Blazing Bravery

Danny was putting on his helmet, Dante already in his motorbike waiting for Danny to approach and finally ride the bike so they can leave for Dante's work, before he could walk away from the door he heard Pariah clear his throat before placing a hand on Danny's shoulder.

"Baby Ghost, Jasmine has told me that when humans visit one another they tend to bring gifts to the other as a sign and courtesy of politeness. Thus in this new understanding I have decided that you shall bring these to the workers of Dante's Dutiful Job." Pariah handed Danny a small box of cookies, freshly baked home made cookies Jazz has taught him to cook. "Thanks Dad." Danny mutters with a smile as he took one cookie from the batch.

Dan pressed his motorbike's horn, "Gotta go!" Danny just ran to Dan and waved goodbye as Dan drove away, Pariah was frozen by the door of the shop. He took a deep breathe, "Ghost Prince, Baby Prince, Baby Ghost, Daniel, Danny.... called me Dad." He mutters as he approached Jazz and Clockwork in the Living room.

"Pardon? What did you say Pariah?" Jazz tilts her head confused and didn't get to hear what Pariah fully said. Pariah took a deep breathe again, trying to contain his happiness, his joy, his excitement under a calm facade. "The Little Ghost Prince, Baby Ghost that is Daniel... Called me... "Dad"...." He says trying to sound calm but there's an underlying hint of rejoicing tone under his breathe.

Jazz perks up and starts clapping, "Congratulations!" Jazz just exclaims and Pariah's lips tucked a small smirk ever so tiny bit slightly in his face, he was proud and rejoicing internally at the advancement on his and Danny's Father-Son relationship. "I'm so happy for you my dearest Pariah." Clockwork floated over to Pariah and kisses the man's forehead delicately, Pariah hummed, core purring in delight.

"Yay! Danny called Daddy 'Dad'! Yay! Yay! Yippee!" Elle jumped around the coffee table happily still holding onto her crayons and bond paper where she's drawing her family for a class assignment. "Yes, Yes, after Daniel comes home we shall celebrate. Will Daniel know the reason of such celebration? No, we are not to say a single word about this Alright?" Pariah glances over to his husband and his two daughters.

Both girls looking at each other before looking up back at Pariah before giggling and nodding along in amusement, "Ofcourse Dearest, I won't say anything." Clockwork hummed also amused by Pariah's reaction to finally being called "Dad" by Danny, Pariah was leaning his head of Clockwork's hands as they caressed the Man's cheeks.

Dan was driving to Crime Alley in moderately fast speed, "Now I understand why Elle can't go.... You never told jazz you worked at Crime Alley?" Danny raised an eyebrow, "She don't need to know little twerp, spare me the worry panic she will perform...." Dan sighed soon stopping Infront of a garage.

"Heya Lucas, I brought my brother, don't worry he's no trouble." Dan parked his bike and took off his helmet and helped Danny helped his own off, Danny looked over to the 'Lucas' person. "Hey Dan, you must be Danny." Lucas crouched slightly to Danny's height smiling in eagerness, "I'm Lucas, your Brother's friend! It's nice to finally meet you Danny!" Lian had a Lean Tall Frame, His hair dark and curly and tied into a messy bun, he had intense amber eyes and piercings on his ears and lip, his skin was a natural warm brown, Danny looked up at him still befuddled by the other man's height.

"It's nice to meet you too sir... I wasn't really aware that my brother talked about me to his friends...." Danny smiled awkwardly, fidgeting slightly as he shook Lucas' welcoming hand. He was still getting used to strangers and new people, his anxiety every so paranoid and overwhelming, Danny looked over to Dan who was setting up their helmets nicely in a rack by the counter. His cheeks had a hint of reddish tint assuming that Dan could hear the two's small interaction. "How old are you Danny?" Lucas finally asked, still crouching to meet the boy's gaze.

"I'm uhm— 17 sir—." Danny stuttered, he was taken aback when Lucas started to smile and laugh softly. Danny tilted his head in confusion thinking that maybe he did something wrong. "Please just call me Lucas or Kuya, no need to be so formal kiddo." Lucas ruffled Danny's hair under his hood and Danny flushed up in Embarrasament immediately running over to Dan and hiding behind him.

He heard Lucas from afar laughing even more in amusement as Dan just raised an eyebrow, now confused on what they talked about, "What's up Twerp?" Dan glanced over to Danny who had his palms on his cheeks in hope of calming down the embarrassment in his face. "Nothing..." Danny sighed out as the flushed red cheeks finally soothed down. Danny then perked up as he saw the backdoor.

"Dan, Dan, I know you want me to stay here and all but can I go to the back alley? I promise I'll help later Im just gonna check on my friends." Danny asked tugging on Dan's jacket whilst easily taking Dan's phone in the man's back pocket. "Is there WiFi here?" Danny asked again, "Yes there is WiFi and yes you can stay by the back or wander off. Just... Make sure to be invisible... So no one spots you and possibly try and you know, get you in danger." Dan whispered the last sentence and Danny nodded with a nod and entered the staffroom lounge and headed out to the backdoor with ease.

The familiar weight of a tracker embedded on his hoodie that Dan had placed on him Incase of emergencies and a panic button In his sleeves within easy reach of his fingers if he were ever to be around too much danger, he smirked playfully and slipped into near-invisibility. Although he wasn't fully and truly intangible at the moment so he wouldn't feel the exhaustion creeping up on his nape, he still blended with the shadows and the corners of the darkness seamlessly.

He floated upwards and wandered around Crime Alley, the unfamiliar cacophony of distant rumble of traffic—the screeching of tires— rustling of rats somewhere in the rooks and crannies of the alleys... And the whispers of Crime. They whisper to him, Danny took off one of his earrings that dampened his abilities as he placed himself atop a roof of a tall building looming over crime alley.

The ghosts whispers, the shades murmur and the greatest of it all is the information they provide. Dead Men don't tell tales, they tell secrets and wisdom, they speak through the static—chirps—warbles of the ever so familiar Ghost Speak. Danny took all of the whispers in, noting them in his mind. Not because he really planned to tell anyone anything, but because it's interesting and new, he slowly floated back down near the dumpsters planning to walk to the garage by himself soon enough.

Danny perked up at the sudden grumbling of a stranger he didn't notice was even present near him, for a moment forgetting his invisibility he instinctively pressed himself in the grimy brick walls of the alley. Danny looked over atop the dumpster, He could make out the silhouette of a figure huddled deeper in the shadows, illuminated only by the flickering neon sign of a nearby bar casting a sickly yellow glow.

The voice, rough and edged with frustration, was a low growl. The figure was holding a phone and a box of donuts sitting atop the dumpster(gross) but it's smell was temptingly delicious. Danny didn't dare approach as the stranger spoke, "Weeks! It's been weeks, and I still haven't found the damn rat! Someone's feeding the Crimson Hand everything. Every move we make, every heist we plan… they know it all!."

A sharp, ragged breath hitched in his throat, the silence that followed heavy with unspoken threats as he held the phone to his ear, "And they're getting bolder. That last job… it nearly went south because of this leak. Nearly." He grumbled in frustration, in a moment of rage he stomped off still yelling on the phone and leaving the delicious box of donuts behind.

Danny a mischievous smirk plastered on his face stood up, no longer hidden in the depths of the shadows, he approached the box of donuts and opened it eagerly. "Mmm... What a treat." Danny snickered to himself, licking his lips and stealing the box of donuts whilst cackling menacingly in his head. "Right.... This is stealing.... Maybe I can..." An idea popped in his head as he pulled out his glow in the dark inked pen and sticky notes that he always carried just in case.

Danny as he was munching on one of the donuts wrote what the guy was having a problem about, knowing that he'll most likely come back for his donuts after all. Danny lent his ear to the murmurs of the ghosts, "Crimson... Trace... When's he doing the stealing stuff?.... Mhm... Uh-huh.... Novem...ber.... Thirteen..... At 12 AM...mid.. night... At the Caffeine Fix Cafe down three blocks in this alley secret route in the backdoor to a harbor...? Okay—" Danny wrote on the sticky note and also gave directions on where said 'Rat' Salvador would leak their information.

"Thank you!" Danny smiled and ate another donut, he stuck the note with a spare box he found somewhere, it was a bright neon green sticky note that has a ghost doodle on it that was bound to stand out in the dark gloomy alley, he stuck it to the sides of the box and floated back up the rooftops and ate his donuts peacefully.

The man burst back into the alley, his face a mask of furious frustration. He frantically searched the ground, his eyes darting around, his breath coming in ragged gasps. "The donuts! Damn it, where are the donuts?!" He muttered, his voice laced with a barely controlled rage that was quickly overshadowed by a rising panic.

He spotted the neon green sticky note almost immediately, its ghostly doodle a stark contrast to the grime of the alley. His eyes widened as he snatched up the box, his fingers trembling slightly as he read the message. A low growl rumbled in his chest, a mixture of disbelief and seething fury. "Sorry for stealing your donuts. . . I can help you tho with some info… November 13th… midnight… The Caffeine Fix…Crimson Trace is distributing stolen stuff and embezzling funds." he whispered, the words tasting like ash in his mouth.

His voice rose in a torrent of barely coherent rage. "Those treacherous low lives!" He slammed the box down, the sound echoing in the narrow confines of the alley, more curses and threats were yelled in the empty air of the alley, the Man soon driving off in a rage with his motorbike. Danny licked his lips as he finished eating another donut.

Danny just hummed, "I should bring back the rest of these donuts to Dan..." He smirks playfully as he floated back to the garage safely, hoping to avoid danger or anything related to a crossfire on his way back. Danny entered the backroom lounge of the Garage and was met with Dan resting on the couch with Lucas just about to head out of the room to the main front.

"Oh hey Danny!— woah are those a box of donuts— did you steal that??" Lucas asked confused as Danny placed the boxes of donuts in the table, "I traded for it." Danny merely said, not elaborating more information. Lucas didn't ask further as he knew it wasn't his business and that it was Crime Alley either way. Later that night went as usual as Dan would say.

They were closing up and Lucas has already left since he had to come home to his kids, Danny was playing on his switch playing Animal Crossing, Reworking and Rebuilding some structures on his island. He listened as Dan, a man of few words but possessing a surprisingly rich baritone voice, began to sing along to the music playing softly from his phone – a powerful, swinging rendition of "My Way" by Frank Sinatra. The song's bold and confident melody perfectly complemented Dan's deep, resonant voice. It wasn't simply humming; it was singing, his voice a commanding, resonant sound that seemed to fill the entire garage.

He poured emotion into each note, his voice hitting every note with effortless precision. The lyrics, about a life lived on one's own terms, resonated with a quiet intensity. Danny just stared and kept wondering if he too could one day sing like that, Danny perked up as he noticed a battered Motorbike pull up outside the front of the workshop, Dan didn't as he was still immersed in his impromptu performance.

The man took off his helmet and stared at the open entrance of the workshop, stunned in his motorbike watching Dan pour his everything into singing. Dan raised an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes to identity what the man looked like, He had A big bulky frame with black hair with a white streak(just like his hair!), his eyes were a sapphire deep blue with a hint of ectoplasmic green that Danny was ever so familiar of.

He stood there, seemingly captivated as he listened to Dan. Danny called out to Dan finally after finishing his lollipop, "DAN! CUSTOMER!" Danny yelled and Dan froze, "Ah... Oh, Sir Jason." Dan says as he met eye to eye with the other man. "Hey there Dante, and please I keep telling you— just call me Jason." The other man, 'Jason' smiled gently as he placed his helmet between his hip and arm. "I'm here actually for an oil change— I know it's late and also my baby girl kinda looks battered up so I'm wondering if you can help fix her up and all as well." Jason just says.

"Ofcourse! You're always the late night customer anyways." Dan snickered and took the bike with him inside, Jason following suit and meeting eye to eye with Danny, for a moment their eyes flashed an ectoplasmic green upon setting eyes on each other. Danny's breathe hitched, not out of fear but out of curiousity on this man who's core looks beaten and half-formed. Dan seems to have noticed before and had been the one to slowly cleanse and feed 'Jason' ectoplasm through being in each other's vicinity.

Danny stood up from his corner, "Who's this?" Jason asked tilting his head to the side and hiding his interest and suspicion on the teenager. "This is Danny, my little brother. C'mon Danny introduce yourself." Dan nudged Danny's back and Danny shook Jason's hand, "it's nice to meet you, Sir. You must be Jason, Dan talks nicely about you sometimes—Ack—" Dan hits Danny's back, Danny snickered mischievously.

"Sorry, My sister likes to hear about our days and all so we just kinda talk about everyone we meet Since yk, new to Gotham and all." Dan motioned his hand and sighed in embarrasament, Jason merely chuckled in amusement. "It's fine! It's no biggie, I'm glad I could be part of your dinner talks, it seems very fun." Jason just smiled and Dan nodded, still embarrassed about Danny talking about their dinner gossips.

Dan walked away to work on Jason's Bike and left Danny and Jason by themselves, "You like him." Danny immediately stated and Jason flinched, "W-what— I don't know what yo— why would you think of that conclusion— haha— he's just a frien— don't tell him, I'll pay you." Jason stammered and failed at coming up with a reasonable excuse on the spot, "500 buckaroos." Danny smiled menacingly, "You're a greedy kid." Jason clicked his tounge, his cheeks still flushed a tint of red.

"Uh-huh, And this is Crime Alley, plus this is also Gotham, so it's 500 bucks or I'm snitching." Danny stuck out his tounge but soon enough smirked mischievously as Jason handed Danny 500 bucks and Danny slipped the money in his pockets. "What are you anyways....?" Jason slowly muttered and glanced at Danny, "Just like you, but also different at the same time. I'd rather not talk about it." Danny scoffed and Jason nodded in understanding.

They are to never speak about their eye contact interaction. Dan kept working on Jason's Bike making it look as new as if it was bought just earlier that Day. "Jason Todd by the way." Jason states his full name, "Daniel James Nightingale, Just call me Danny." Danny replies and both just silently nodded at each other.

Dan finished with Jason's Bike and let Jason leave soon enough, Dan took a deep breathe and sighed, "Alright Chum, let's go before we're late for Father Pariah's dinner cooking, I heard he wanted to cook tonight." Dan chuckled and Danny nodded with a smile putting on his helmet afterwards and following Dan outside who now had his helmet on for safety even if they didn't need it.

The roar of the engine was a counterpoint to the city's nervous hum as Dan and Danny sped home, their faces obscured by motorbike helmets. Dan, driving, navigated with practiced ease, avoiding the city's crime ridden roadways — the narrow, twisting streets and notorious crime hotspots. A fight, even a brief one, was the last thing he needed, especially with Danny along. He'd already pushed his luck too far.

"Dan, I hear gunshots." Danny blurted out making Dan immediately halt his speeding bike with utmost relentlessness, perking his ears he finally picked up on the gunshots slowly nearing them, the cacophony of screaming and an obvious gang fight where they would not want to be caught in the crossfire of. Dan sped off away from the crossfire but unfortunately his bad luck caught up to him and now they were right in the middle, surrounded, fallen debris swallowed by flames blocking their way.

Dan immediately slides his motorbike in one of the alleys and grabbed Danny, embracing the boy in his arms tightly. "Shush, let it die down, if any of them comes here.... I'll kill them." Dan's eyes flashes a dark crimson red, determined to protect Danny from the danger of being caught in the middle of a crossfire. Danny nodded clutching onto Dan like a little scared kitten, he didn't want to feel pain especially not right now.

This was no normal gang fight, this was a whole arsonist gang fight where buildings are engulfed in inferno. Danny's core thrummed at hearing the screams, he wanted— NEEDED to save them. It is his obsession, his purpose of —Living— but Dan immediately held him back. "Look champ, if we're gonna save them put on your hood and you're gonna have to let me come with you." Dan demanded and Danny nodded.

— — — — —

The inferno in Crime Alley raged, a terrifying spectacle of destruction. Crimson Trace gang members, fueled by Ignis's reckless ambition, systematically torched buildings, creating a chaotic kill zone. Civilians screamed, fleeing in terror, their panicked cries swallowed by the deafening roar of gunfire and the crackling of flames. The air itself vibrated with fear, thick with smoke and the metallic tang of blood.

Red Hood, perched precariously on a crumbling rooftop, his voice tight with grim urgency, relayed the scene to the Bats. "B, this is a fucking massacre! Some bastard named Ignis is personally overseeing the arson. They're trying to wipe out the competition and claim Crime Alley as their own! Especially Me!"

Batman's voice, a low, controlled rumble, cut through the comms. "Nightwing, rooftop disruption. Robin, prioritize civilian evacuation. Red Hood, assist Robin, Red Robin and Spoiler also assist Robin in saving civilians, avoid casualty as much as possible. I'll handle Ignis." A hint of concern and steely determination, unusual for the usually stoic Batman, laced in his tone.

Chaos escalated quickly as fire does great damage, Dan could tell it was only that specific part of crime alley and it's probably to do with the many roadways and alleys Separating streets from one another quite confusingly. He looked up and saw Robin on a small balcony on a higher floor trying to pick a lock of a blocked off semi-metal window.

Dan growled under his breathe, seeing someone so young in the heart of an inferno an arsonist and many others has started. Danny still clung onto his back, as Dan suddenly scaled the wall. "ROBIN! OUT OF MY WAY!" He quickly snarled which took Robin aback and immediately jumped out to another window as Dan slammed his fists on the metal windows revealing the kids trapped inside.

"Hey there... C'mon it's safe. Robin's here to get you all out..." Dan's gaze softened and his hands reaching out to the kids as he carried them out, Danny also holding onto them as he scaled the wall and dragged Robin up to the rooftop where he deemed it safer for them before dropping them off, "Jesus Christ, He's your Age Danny, a fuckin Robin!" Dan huffs out and dropped Robin but gently put down the kids for Robin to tend to.

Robin and Danny made eye contact and Robin immediately upon seeing Danny's face started to flush up under his mask. Stunned and nervous but he was fast enough to focus on the situation at hand. Robin immediately tended to the injured children as much as he could with the limited equipment he's brought, he was about to turn to Dan and Danny to check on them but it turns out they'd have already gone back down to apparently save more lives and risking themselves.

"Danny. What do the ghosts say?" Dan asks, Danny had one of his earrings off hearing the ghosts of Gotham, directing them to trapped civilians and guiding them so they wouldn't face any major danger other than some goons that Dan can easily knock out. "East. Eastward, 4 story building, first floor right by a window painted yellow, the Windows are barricaded with hard thick wood and there is a woman and a baby inside as well as some cats that are apparently guarding them trying to keep them safe even if they know they really can't do anything at all. Faster Dan." Danny states as fast and as coherent as he could.

Dan growled and jumps above debris that blocks his way, his hands partially burned from the fires they're running through, the weaker whispering shades actively protecting Danny and Dan from getting any major injuries or burns as they whispered and guided the two halfas to the building they say where the trapped people are. "There are two more kids with the woman now, Dad is outside in the crossfire, gang member of the... Black Prints? Oh.... That's the guy I helped earlier? You're protecting him too? Good good... Do that yes." Danny conversed subtly with the ghosts of Gotham.

Dan punched slid atop a hood of a car and found the yellow window of the building described, "Cover your body." Dan reminded Danny and Danny immediately curls himself behind Dan as Dan punched through the wall leaving his knuckles bruised and bleeding. "Hey! Are you okay?!" Dan asked as he ran inside , the fire was spreading and he could hear the meowls of the cats.

Dan didn't hesitate to grab the inflamed debris that's blocking his way and shoving it to the side creating a much safer pathway for the trapped people, "Jesus Christ, Lorraine is that you?! Fuck! c'mon now! Get moving get moving!" Dan carried the weakened Woman and one of the teenager kids holding the baby, Dan guided them out of the building before it collapse on them, the cats were nestled inside Danny's hoodie as Danny clung onto Dan's back much also like that of a cat.

"You. None of you question what I'm about to do okay?" Dan glanced over at the kids who just nods in understanding before Dan carried them all and floated and left the physical plane along with the others he's carrying, actively transmitting his Intangibility abilities temporarily to those he is touching as he gets them to a safer part of the alleys and drops them off where he knows a Bat will find them.

"Shush okay? You didn't see us." Dan reminded the kids and the cats as the kids nodded in understanding, the cats clinging onto the passed out woman, 'Lorraine' as Danny recalls Dan calling her. Dan ran back into the fire, Danny kept guiding him as the ghosts whispers in his ear. Eventually they run into a struggling Red Robin as he tried to lockpick a door because he genuinely can't take it down.

"Out of the way little Red Bat." Dan scoffed, Red Robin was taken aback and Spoiler pulls him out of Dan's path as he tackled the door sending it flying out of it's hinges, he groaned slightly and then his eyes landed on a familiar face. "Oh my fucking ancient— LUCAS—" Dan recognizes his friend on the floor coughing, "KUGG— wassup Da-cugh- Dan." Lucas looked bleary as Dan grabbed Lucas holding the urge to shake his boss, he sighed and shoved him on a stunned Red Robin's arms and heading to Lock Lucas's basement fully so his snake and turtle pets wouldn't get caught in the inferno, good thing the Door was Metal.

"You! You're a civilian too! C'mon!" Red Robin yells and Dan stopped the urge to roll his eyes, "Stay out of my way Red Robin, We both know you need any help you can get at this moment. Do what you do as always. Be a Hero." Dan sneered and punched the window open and headed out from there running through the alleys once again. "Welp— he's a fast lad— cough— fu—huck, my insurance ain't gonna cover this— cough— atleast he has my pets saf— cough— safe." Lucas coughed out more, struggling to breathe in the smoke as Spoiler carried him and lead Lucas to the safe zone/camp as fast as possible.

Red Robin sighed and tried to chase Dan but was promptly halted by a debris that's in flames suddenly falling information of his path, he nearly touched the fire and trip towards it but managed to fall backwards instead, his chest heaved and his heart racing at the near-death experience, "Jesus Fuck that's gonna keep me more awake than coffee ever did." He blurted out with a gasp, slowly standing up with his body trembling subtly at the adrenaline rushing in his veins.

Tim runs to find out that most of the gun fighting were dying down. As if the goons of Crimson Trace was coming back to their base, Red Robin couldn't help but follow one of the retreating goons. They were running right in the middle of the inferno's heart— but why— Tim just knows Batman and Red Hood are there and he needs to keep finding trapped survivors.

— — — —

Ignis, his amber eyes burning with fiery intensity, a wide small plastered across his face. He held the remote aloft, One hand with the remote and the other holding a fireball suggesting he is a Meta who uses fire. His voice a raspy baritone whisper that echoed through the gloomy abandoned building he has settled in. He chuckled lowly as Batman and Red Hood were unable to move any closer to him, "One wrong move..." He hissed, "And Gotham's underbelly turns into a pyre, Every corner, every den of vice, will erupt in a symphony of destruction! Park Row, choked by its own darkness, will finally be cleansed by fire. And you, Red Hood, will be the first to burn."

Ignis's cruel gaze hardened as he loomed over the two bats, carelessly waving around the remote that's connected to several bombs scattered around that specific side of the city, specifically Red Hood's claimed turf. "Oh I know how you bats work oh I know so well~! Especially you Batman!" Ignis continued and laughed menacingly. "I know how you work the most." His smirk widens as Batman stood still.

Batman was thinking of the ways he can turn this situation around with Red Hood's help. "You think you can stop me bats? You think you can stop the Crimson Trace? Well you can't!" Ignis laughed louder. "Cleansing? You think you can play god you bastard? You think you can decide who gets to live and die?!" Red Hood yelled, his hand was subtly hovering over his gun, ready to shoot at any given opportunity.

Ignis smiled widely, "This city is a festering wound, a breeding ground for corruption. It needs a strong hand, a leader who can bring order out of chaos. And that leader is me."

"Order through fear and violence?" Red Hood scoffed. "That's not leadership, Ignis. That's tyranny."

"Fear is a powerful tool," Ignis countered, his voice dropping to a menacing whisper. "It keeps people in line. It makes them obey. And obedience is the foundation of a strong society."

Danny, kicks his back and sent his tumbling forwards and the remote flying right in Batman's hand, "Real Lame Dude." Danny scoffed and raised his fits prepared for a fight. Ignis, his face contorted in a mask of rage, roared, "Who dares?!" He scrambled to his feet, his eyes scanning Danny the source of the attack, He pulled out a gun and Red Hood did the same at the same pace.

Danny moving in unnatural speed kicked the gun out of his hands and uppercuts his face, Ignis growled as he stumbled back. Batman, ever the strategist, saw the opening and lunged forward, a well-placed kick to Ignis's chest sending him crashing into a nearby wall. The impact sent a shower of plaster raining down, momentarily obscuring the scene.

Red Hood, never one to miss an opportunity, used the distraction to his advantage. He sprinted towards Ignis, a flurry of punches aimed at his exposed face. Ignis, however, was not one to be easily subdued. He roared with fury, his body ablaze with a sudden burst of fire. The flames danced around him, a fiery shield against Red Hood's onslaught.

Danny, sensing the shift in the fight, moved with a blur of speed. He dodged a fiery blast, his agility honed by years of being Phantom. He landed a powerful kick to Ignis's side, sending him reeling. The impact knocked the wind out of Ignis, momentarily extinguishing his fiery aura.

Batman, seizing the moment, charged forward. He landed a precise strike to Ignis's jaw, sending him crashing to the ground. The impact was enough to stun him, leaving him vulnerable. Red Hood, taking advantage of the situation, rushed in and disarmed Ignis, his gun clattering to the floor with a metallic clang.

Danny took this opportunity and roundhouse kicked Ignis's face in frustration, Batman subdues the man who's now weakened because of Danny and their collaboration in taking him down. Because of Danny they were able to assess and quickly take him down before any more casualty were to occur.

Batman's face remained impassive as he cuffed and successful seize Ignis to the ground. "We need to get him out of here before he recovers."

— — —

30 minutes has passed since Ignis has been handed over to the Police. Danny was being tended to by the ambulances as Him and Dan had burns on their hands and arms, Danny just chuckled at Dan groaning as his hands were patched up by the nurses. Batman conversing and relaying information to the police as the firefighters soon put out the fire.

Danny leaned his body to Dan as relief and exhaustion overtook his body, the adrenaline dying down. Lucas was sat beside Dan as he was breathing in his inhaler, "You okay Lucas?" Dan raised an eyebrow, looking over to Lucas who breathed out in relief. "Yep! Feeling Dandy and better than before, atleast I'm not surrounded by fire anymore." Lucas snickered and Dan sighed, staring at his bandaged hands.

Danny glanced to his side for a moment and saw Robin practically dashing to him. "You! Are you okay?" Robin asked Danny, Danny could feel he was worried. "Yes, yes I am now." Danny chuckled, "You shouldn't recklessly just—" Robin stammered and Danny tilts his head. Robin caring for him? That's odd.

"Thank you for caring Robin, but I'm fine really!" Danny smiled softly making Robin wince. Danny was confused on why Robin is reacting so... Cute?. Danny just snickered finding the young vigilante adorable. "Robin! C'mon, B is calling." Red Robin called out from afar, clicking his tounge before facing Danny again. "Just please don't risk yourself like that again. It is very unethical and unnecessary." Robin nearly stuttered out and then walked away.

"Vigilantes are odd..." Danny leaned back on Dan's arm, thinking of the time he too was a vigilante technically. Does phantom count as a vigilante? Probably.

"DAN! DANNY!" They heard cry out, both boys flinched in surprise. Dan looked over to the source of the voice and saw Jazz teary eyed stomping over to them with Pariah and Clockwork behind her. "Oh my god— are you okay— oh— fu-uck— why didn't you call? DAN!" Jazz just held onto Dan's shoulders and then looked over to Danny, sobbing as she checked Danny and Dan's Injuries.

"Damn, Hi Jasmi—" Lucas started but was promptly cut off by Dan's glare. "Oh god, you too Lucas? Are you okay? I know you have asthma—" Jazz also frantically checked Lucas's body. "i-i'm fine miss Jasmine—" Lucas stuttered nervously with a hint of red in his cheeks, visibly flustered.

Danny upon seeing Pariah and Clockwork immediately ran to them, "Dad! Father!" He cried out as Pariah immediately swooped him up and embraced him tightly, "Fuck— are you— fucking.... Goddamit... Baby Prince don't.... Don't jump into danger like that ever again..." Pariah tried to hold back his tears.

"I'm sorry.... I had to .. save them." Danny said sobbing in Pariah's arms, Danny was scared too but he needed to save those people trapped inside the buildings. Pariah just sat on the ground and hugged him tightly, feeling his shoulder dampening because of Danny's tears. "I know Prince, but please atleast say something before running off from Dan... He's the only one who can keep you safe without us there."

"I know... I'm sorry." Danny was clinging onto Pariah tightly, "don't say sorry but please... Let's go home okay...?" Pariah ushered them into the car, especially Dan and Danny.

Danny sat in Pariah's Lap clinging onto his dad like a scared kitten, Clockwork Carreses Danny's Hair softly, Jazz and Dan in the back was still. Jazz was hugging Dan close to her chest Elle was staying at home with their neighbors Penner and Keigo. "I'm here Baby Prince, you did good... You did so well." Pariah muttered softly as he drove away.

"Mhm..." Danny just hummed as Pariah placed his free hand on Danny's hair, keeping the boy close as he drifted off to sleep in Pariah's Lap, Exhaustion finally taking over his body. Danny closed his eyes, "Sleep now Little Daniel." Clockwork softly whispered, and so he did.

I hope you all had fun reading XD this is the longest chapter I've made in so long :33

As always this is Spectral Mysteries in my Masterlist! :)

Masterlist

[msfbgraves]

So in Knights and Pawns, omegas can only get with child during a Heat. Well, usually. There is a tiny chance that they can get knocked up outside of Heats too.

What if Terry managed to get Daniel pregnant outside of a Heat 😆? Poor Daniel thought he was safe to have as much sex as he could—and after seven kids, it was nice to know that only a Heat could get him with pup…or so he thought. Of course his Alpha would manage to knock him up. Of course.

“Terry, we’re not having sex ever again.” 😤

“WAIT WHAT DANNY BOY???” 😱

“I’m pretty sure you’d manage to get me pregnant even with a condom on, so—“ 😤😤

“DANIEL. BABY. WAIT. PLEASE!!” 😭 😭

No, Nonnie you misunderstand. The "Danny, please 😭😭" conversations are about dinner. Are about Daniel getting Terry his favorite shirts, the best whiskey, the way he can bring him a puppy to hold when he needs a pick me up, the way he can clean the blood off his face and give him a surprise hug when he's worried about something.

It can never be. About sex. Pup or no.

Look we already know what Terry is capable of there.

Terry may not be a batterer, but he's not going to let anyone deny him sex. Whenever Terry gets really dangerous in canon, it's always, one way or another, a sexual threat. Bathroom threats. (Multiple). Getting off on watching Daniel in pain. Creeping around. Pulling Daniel close even during fistfights.

Terry's big red flag here, too is that he simply never accepts a goddamn "no" to anything. You always have to play him for something he can grant you. And you frankly cannot physically deny him sex. You can kill him after, but the sex he can take. Honestly, in the above scenario, he'd take it as a challenge to rail Daniel then and there. Look, if his boy is tired or upset or just too damn pregnant, Terry often abstains, because he thinks it's best, or he'll seek out a handjob or a blowjob or get off in other ways but he will get off when he so pleases. He's a mob boss with an insanely high level of energy, this is not negotiable for him (do I think that is fair or healthy? No. I think that is one of the compromises and sacrifices of this marriage). He's very conscious of his Danny's pleasure but he has the final say in this, in his brain, and he acts like it.

What he cannot take is the intimacy. What he cannot take is Daniel hyping the pups up for an outing with Daddy. What he cannot do is cook splendid meals and make his people clamor to please be on guard duty of his house because the place is so damn nice. What he cannot do is make Danny appease Sister George. Or keep Michael LaRusso away on random times, or really stop Danny spending entire days with the pups at their grandparents, forcing him to stay longer at the Stallion, and he cannot stop the people there constantly badgering him about: "Is your mate well, sir? It's only that we haven't seen him a lot. My Laura was asking, sir, he is still doing the bakesale?" And "What do you care" won't get him anything other than: "No sir, it's just my mate is worried. Sorry. Won't mention it."

So when Terry misbehaves, it's more like: "Sorry? You want coffee, do you? I just don't know suddenly. And I'll be out today, Terry. Yes, with Apollonia, why do you ask?"

"No 😢"

"You'll be fine, Terry, I know you're busy"

"I forbid it 😭"

"Well - it's just that I haven't seen any of them in a while and they might come over to check"

"Call to say you're fine 😤"

"Why would I have to call about that, that's suspicious, anyway I was going to pick out a new dresser for the puppies on the way, so unless you want to -"

"I'M SORRY FORGET IT, ILY 😞❤️‍🩹😭"

"I love you too 🥰😘"

the magicians s2e6

quentin coldwater you are so goddamn embarrassing i love you

once again alice is such a fun fucking character. she liked when q did pretend cirque du soleil ????? i could cry !!!!

margo's outfits are improving but i'm looking forward to when we get past the amazon corsets

the only thing better than "no offense q but you're a little crazy right now" is him blithely acknowledging it, "maybe, yeah"

my children loved me i was a good mother!

NIFFIN ALICE I LOVE YOU FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!

i couldn't possibly make fun of q for trying to summon niffin alice like sorry you would do it too for alice quinn

best bitches !!!! they could've parented a demon baby together it would've been okay

okay i think he actually would've liked a unicorn milk latte. or have requested one in earnest at least.

like i need more people calling me daddy!

something hale and summer do is they occasionally adopt the same affect, the same intonation, it's such a subtle thing and it doesn't come up all the time but it so clearly telegraphs that these people are completely tethered to each other

"i know my daughter she's trying to protect us" oh PLEASE

ughhhhhhhhhhh i forgot about loria. oh my god fuck your parents dude. BUT ELIOT DON'T !!!!!

cin-ci-nahhh-tee.

SCREAM at the virgin queen margo

god fillory is so much fun like it's total bullshit all the time but it's also SO fun i enjoy that half of the plot so much

what's fen's title? do we know? queen consort? she has to have a title right

"if ess was a girl and you found pussy you know interesting in a sometimes you like thai food kind of way"

not to do this because i do this constantly all the time but margo hanson is my best friend i'm in love with her

don't worry the thing will not be born AUGH once again i feel like this is such a randomly traumatic plot to force on julia

niffin alice has terrible posture. somebody get her a better niffin bra!

q thinks people's love for him is so conditional every time it comes up it makes me so sad. also i would like for him to get a better hair routine i know grief and everything but dude it's stringy.

i remember when i first watched this episode i wanted daniel to have died from falling off the ladder he doesn't even deserve all that i was just mad at him for being a shit dad

ess is hot but not hot enough to act like this. you're a virgin to me sweetheart? i think margo should be allowed to kill him.

actually margo should be allowed to kill me if she wants to

queliot obviously first most tragic romance in the magicians but fen/baylor is possibly ranked second when you think about it. wait kady/penny. okay fen/baylor is top three.

JESUS CHRIST I FORGOT ABOUT DANA'S WHOLE THING

even i studied and i'm dead!

it's so sweet that she has dreams about forgetting to study. sorry i feel like somebody applauding disney for having a gay character but i genuinely like the female characters in this show so much. they get to do all kinds of shit! and feel shit!

yeah honestly the reynard plot occasionally veers into an almost anti-choice rhetoric, i could have done without like 90% of this plot

i love asking questions that have a 50/50 shot of being resolved in this episode but do we ever find out who dana's son is

once again! best bitches!

you guys have been so royally fucked with! sometimes the florida jumps out of him

"she never figured out how to be a woman" is such an insane thing to say. the magicians should've dug into motherhood more. haha. wrote a thesis on motherhood voice.

I FORGOT ALICE WAS IN THE TATTOO OH MY GODDDDDDD

cripes reynard is so fucking scary

benedict you are an angel

"we're gonna put our jimmy choos so far up your ass you're gonna taste next season" as a declaration of war is unbelievably good

will, daniel: 🧅🍋🍅

elenore, lucy: 🥑🥕🍎

for ✨will✨

🍅 [TOMATO] wow misunderstood is your OC? in-universe or IRL.

i think will is incredibly misunderstood in-universe. people think he's dumb, that he doesn't have anything going for him, that his interests are an elaborate trick to get the girl he likes to like him back. but that's not true. will is incredibly genuine. he is so honest, he scares everyone, including himself.

in real life, it's hard to know. this blog has a fair amount of followers, but only a few who ever say anything. and those people are already my friends who understand him completely.

🧅 [ONION] what is surefire to make your OC cry? who knows of this information?

will is pretty easy to make cry, but i think the easiest way is for him to see his wife or daughters struggling. everyone knows that information, but lucy, elenore, and emma understand it the most.

🍋 [LEMON] what is their kryptonite/ultimate weakness?

family. don't threaten his family, whether that's his married family, parents/sisters, or best friends. for that matter, don't threaten anyone else's family.

for ✨daniel✨

🍅 [TOMATO] wow misunderstood is your OC? in-universe or IRL.

like will, daniel is very misunderstood in-universe. people want him to be easy, boring, someone you use. someone who doesn't think much, just acts. but that's so wrong. daniel is terribly introspective, to the point where he's frustrating.

in real life, i'd wager daniel is pretty misunderstood by the readers. i have no real way of knowing that, but his vignettes usually get extremely popular because he has daddy issues. i can imagine people think that's all there is. and admittedly, that's a lot of it. but that's not all, and i have this feeling that it's what daniel would be reduced to if this blog was bigger/mainstream media.

🧅 [ONION] what is surefire to make your OC cry? who knows of this information?

i feel bad saying this because of the rant above, but daniel will cry at memories of his father, at certain sinatra songs, at certain foods. anything that reminds him of when his parents fought. everyone knows that, but two people know the most about the intricacies. one of them is sadie, but she still doesn't get it in the same way as lola.

for ✨elenore✨

🍎 [RED APPLE] who does your OC value above all else?

veronica. no question about it. elenore's with charlie now, but don't think for a second that happened without veronica's enthusiastic and express approval. she values her parents, her sister, and charlie, too. but veronica will always come before any of them.

🥕 [CARROT] how tough is your OC against certain situations? how weak are they against others?

this question is so much more vague than it thinks it is 😭 regardless, i think elenore is really tough when people question her intelligence. it happens a lot. she is very bubbly in a way her mother isn't, and people mistake this for stupidity a lot of the time. it happens so often that it hardly even bothers her anymore. i think she gets weak when people confront her actual shortcomings, though. she's not good with earnest criticism.

🥑 [AVOCADO] what will they never back down about, even if it makes them seem bad?

charlie. her relationship with him, both past and present. she defends herself, she defends him, she defends their daughter, and she's not wrong to do it.

for ✨lucy✨

🍎 [RED APPLE] who does your OC value above all else?

will, elenore, emma, and veronica. that's the family she chose and made, and that's the family she'll stick with until she's gone. of course, she also values sadie, daniel, and their kids, but her own family will always take the cake. as it should be.

🥕 [CARROT] how tough is your OC against certain situations? how weak are they against others?

lucy is very good at enduring physical pain. even when it really hurts, she soldiers on. she tends to panic when she thinks she's going to get in trouble with her administration. even as a full professor, lucy always worries she'll be ousted for one reason or another. she's not afraid of authority because she breaks and bends rules all the time. she's afraid of getting caught, even now, after years of working.

🥑 [AVOCADO] what will they never back down about, even if it makes them seem bad?

similar to elenore, lucy will never back down about the fact that getting married at sixteen after finding out she was pregnant with elenore (and giving birth to elenore shortly after turning seventeen) was the right thing to do for her. she wouldn't recommend getting pregnant as a teenager, of course! but when it happened to her, she knew what was right for her. no one else got to make that decision, just like she wouldn't get to make that decision for anyone else.

by the way, this is why this version of lucy is comparatively so relaxed about this version of elenore coming home pregnant at age twenty-one. the earliest version of elenore got pregnant at age twenty-seven with a law degree and a job under her belt, and lucy panicked, despite elenore being a fully fledged adult. this lucy knows what it's like to be young, unexpectedly pregnant, and come to the conclusion that you want to have a baby now, after all. she's sympathetic because she's been there, and she's dealt with the scorn of teen pregnancy differently than other versions of lucy did.

i'll always be there for you. don't you ever doubt that.'' w dando 🫶🏽

Hmm, going to bring back my omega/omega au because I miss it

"He's only pretending to love you because he's stuck with your mating mark on his skin. You fucked up his life, Daniel, and now you're going to fuck up your kid"

It had been two weeks since the confrontation with Michael, and his words were still ringing in Daniel's ears. His disgust lingered, festering in side Daniel despite the reassurances he got from friends and family about the situation.

Lando had almost broken his hand that day.

His sweet little omega had attacked an alpha. He had come home to Daniel cowering under the alpha's anger. He heard the horrible shit and threats Michael was making about taking him to court if the baby turned out to be his, and how Lando should be mated to someone like Michael and not Daniel.

Lando hadn't hesitated.

He had let out a sound that was near animalistic and caught them both by surprise. The moment Michael had looked in Lando’s direction, Lando had been there. Daniel had frozen in awe and horror at the sight of Lando punching Michael to defend him.

He'd watched Michael to try escape Lando, but the younger man didn't stop until he had thrown Michael out of their apartment. His fist bloody and bruising but there was only concern for Daniel in his eyes when he had turned to him.

Daniel still couldn't believe that Lando would do that for him. That he had gone feral to protect Daniel and the life that was growing inside him.

Yet despite that, Daniel still felt at a loss.

He had lost his best friend in a way he had never expected, and part of him couldn't help but feel that Lando might leave too. That Lando would wake up one morning, look at the baby bump and at Daniel and decide that this wasn't what he wanted anymore.

Lando was still young. He was still killing it on track and he was everything that Daniel had never been. He couldn't blame the way alphas and betas looked at Lando because he was amazing, and beautiful and everything Daniel could have ever wanted for a partner.

Deep down he knew that Lando wasn't going to do that, but right now as he sat awake rubbing a hand over where his little one had started to kick him in the spleen, the fear gripped him.

Or at least it did until Lando rolled over and purred as he rubbed his cheek against Daniel’s belly to scent mark the bump.

"Oh!", Lando gasped sleepily, laughing when he felt a little kick under his cheek, "Someone is happy today. Hello baby, are you going to settle so your daddy and I can sleep?"

Daniel purred softly as he felt tears well in his eyes. He reached down and dragged his fingers through Lando’s curls as their little one gave another few kicks.

"I know, we can't wait to meet you too. Your daddy and I are waiting for you, but you have to grow a little stronger first before you can meet us, little one", Lando laughed, eyes half closed as he smiled before he looked up at Daniel, "But don't you worry. When you get here, we'll be right here. Your Daddy and I will always be there for you"

And Daniel knew he wasn't just talking to their pup, but him too, especially as he said his last words that had Daniel purring loudly and Lando leaning up to kiss him softly.

"Don't ever doubt it. We love you so much already, little one"

A Series of Possibly Fortunate Events (ao3) - orphan_account

but you'll never break (ao3) - dantiloquent

Summary: "Dan knows what he’s doing all too well. In two minutes, Phil’s eyes are startled and intrigued, two bottle caps in the dark with their edges glowing, the gaze of a doe who is enticed by her own death; Dan has him flustered and jealous in five, has the guarantee of a set of emails that are definitely fishy, I tell you in seven; thirty minutes pass and he has Phil taking him home to his flat."
