December 6, 2023

Dear Diary,

Is that an appropriate way to start one of these? I’ve never kept a diary or a journal before. But Marie gave me this cute little notebook and said writing stuff down helps clear her mind, so I don’t think there’s any harm in giving it a shot. They would never let us have something like this in the Red Room. Too much evidence lying around for someone to stumble upon. Should I put a lock on this? Y/N wouldn’t snoop around to read this, would she? Well, I guess if she is–leave my diary alone, you big dummy!

The professor said the Red Room soldiers and Widows are coming tomorrow. This is all my fault. I’ve put these good people and innocent children in danger. Earlier, we went to help the kids pack their bags and board the buses. I’m not sure if Y/N has any kids of her own (or ever did at all), but I can tell she really cares about them. Although she was not happy with some of the excessive luggage some of them were bringing. No one would tell me where they’re sending the kids, but I overheard Ororo mention something about a private resort they had to buy out.

I still don’t quite understand why these people are willing to sacrifice so much for me. I’m basically a stranger to them. I have nothing to give them in return if they ask. Maybe they’ll finally throw me out when they realize how worthless I am. That’s what I really deserve. Not these warm clothes, the home-cooked meals, and this roof over my head. And I definitely don’t deserve the kindness and care Y/N has shown me. I really like her, but I’m afraid she’ll leave me when she realizes how boring and inexperienced I am.

Oh, I think she’s coming out of the shower now. I’ll continue this later.

Love,

Nat

Dear Diary,

It’s weird how life goes back to normal so fast here. The Red Room soldiers and Widows were here not even a week ago, tearing down doors and blasting out windows, and everything is already repaired and the students are back at it like nothing happened.

A lot of them are excited to go back to their homes and families for the holiday. But a lot of them will also be staying at the mansion, because their families won’t accept them or they just don’t have any home to go back to. The professor asked Y/N to help plan some holiday games so the kids staying don’t get too bored or lonely. She’s acting like it’s the dumbest assignment he’s ever given her, but I’ve seen her spending all her free time ordering presents and decorations (with the professor’s credit card, of course), so I know she takes it very seriously and the kids are going to love whatever she comes up with.

I’m really glad I get to spend Christmas here. It’s been a long time since I’ve actually been able to celebrate it with people I love. I feel so welcomed here and no one looks at me like I’m any different, when I come from a past where there’s red all over my ledger. Sometimes I’m surprised anyone even lets me be around these kids alone, but some of them have powers that even make Y/N nervous, and I think they know they can trust me.

It’ll take some more time before I can be fully comfortable here, but it’s really starting to grow on me and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

Love,

Nat

***********************************************************************

December 25, 2023

Natasha wakes up alone. She looks around the bedroom, in case you might be on the floor doing push-ups or in the bathroom showering, but the room is completely empty. Her heartbeat picks up as she jumps out of bed, afraid that you’ve left her, when she notices a note on the desk.

Downstairs making breakfast. Come join when you’re up - Y/N

She relaxes immediately, touched how you made sure to let her know in advance where you would be. She quickly washes up and puts on a robe, then hurries downstairs to a chaotic mess of torn gift wrapping, screaming children, and flashing new toys. She steps into the kitchen, where you are wearing a flowered apron and are threatening Marie with a spatula.

“Stop, those aren’t ready–Marie!” You swat at her hands as she swipes for a pancake.

“Merry Christmas, Miss Nat!” Marie says, moving your attention away from her as your girlfriend appears.

“Merry Christmas, Marie.” Natasha gives the girl a hug, not missing the folded pancake in her hand.

“Merry Christmas, darling,” you say next, waiting for her to come over. “I made a special plate for you. It’s over here so the kids don’t get into it.” You point to a foil-covered plate off to the side of the stove. Natasha goes to investigate, peeling back the foil to find the plate fully-loaded with two different types of pancakes, one next to a little container of jam and honey, and the other still steaming and garnished with flecks of green onion. There’s even a bowl of grainy buckwheat porridge. Her heart soars at the sight of her favorite native breakfast. With a delighted squeal, she throws herself into your arms.

“Thankyou thankyou thankyou,” she choruses, squeezing you tightly as you rub her back.

“You’re welcome, darling.”

At this point, you shoo everyone out of the kitchen to finish the preparations. Natasha joins Marie in the dining hall, helping set up the plates and silverware. She watches with great curiosity as Kitty tries getting Peter to step under the mistletoe she hung above the doorway, and then is distracted when Jean and Scott come down for breakfast.

“Y/N cooks Christmas breakfast for us every year,” Jean explains to Natasha. “The kids always look forward to it.”

“Hey, Y/N!” Scott yells into the kitchen. “Keep the walnuts away from my food, okay?”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” Natasha hears you dismissively respond.

“Scott’s allergic,” Jean whispers to her. “Now there’s no proof how, but he ended up with a plateful of them last year and I almost had to take him to the hospital. Needless to say, it was an eventful Christmas.”

Natasha giggles to herself, already having a feeling she knows exactly how those walnuts got on Scott’s plate.

Everyone finds a seat at the table, the empty one next to Natasha reserved for you. You finally emerge from the kitchen, no longer in the flowered apron but one of your classic checkerboard flannels. You’re carrying an impressive tower of pancakes in one hand and a pan filled half and half with bacon and sausage in the other. The students break out in appreciation and applause as Bobby scoots aside some dishes to make room for the last trays.

“Don’t take more than you can finish,” you remind the kids, going around the table to sit next to Natasha and presenting her with her special plate. “And uh, Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and all that other stuff.” You raise your apple cider in a toast and everyone follows your lead.

“Thanks for breakfast, Y/N,” Ororo says, clinking her glass to yours. The students erupt with more thanks before they start reaching for the food, passing around the mountainous plate of pancakes, scooping whole fried eggs onto each other’s plates.

“Thanks again, babe,” Natasha says, putting her hand on your thigh as she leans over to kiss you on the cheek.

“You should try it first before thanking me,” you tease, still not used to all the praise. You were just trying to be a good partner, and it was somewhat of a Christmas tradition for you to cook breakfast for all the students who stayed at the mansion over break. You didn’t mind it at all, in fact you really did enjoy spending time in the kitchen and it made you feel good to take care of others.

Natasha leaves her hand on your knee as she eats, and eventually you put your hand on top of hers comfortingly. Neither of you engage much in conversation as you eat and listen, happy with the company. Once all of the food has been finished, Ororo rounds up the students to help clean everything before they can continue opening presents.

Kitty gets you a Johnny Cash vinyl record. Marie and Bobby got you a variety pack of exotic flavors of jerky, including alligator, ostrich, and buffalo. Storm gives you and Natasha tickets to a weekend getaway at a Canadian resort. Jean and Scott also throw in a joint gift of a new set of winter bedsheets. You are very thankful for the presents and pile them neatly by your feet, when Natasha pulls out a box and puts it on your lap. Inside is a familiar-looking flannel shirt.

“It’s a brand new one,” Natasha says. “To replace all the ones I steal from your closet,” Natasha says.

“Thanks,” you say, putting your arm around her to pull her closer so you can kiss her cheek. “This one is from me.” You hand her a very small box.

Natasha opens it delicately and gasps when she sees what you’ve given her. It’s a wooden ring, carved a little roughly around the edges with little turquoise-colored gems pressed into the outside.

“Did you make this?” Natasha asks, running her finger over the gems.

“Uh, yeah.” You’re suddenly nervous that she doesn’t like it. Woodworking was not your finest hobby, despite your decades to fine-tune the skill, but you preferred to build vast structures and furniture. Tiny little pieces of jewelry were extremely difficult to handle, but hopefully it was worth the numerous cuts and splinters you gave yourself.

Natasha slips it on her right ring finger–a perfect fit. Maybe you needed to give yourself more credit for your handiwork.

“It’s beautiful,” she says, holding her hand up to admire the ring. “I love it. Thank you.”

“You’re very welcome.”

Natasha snuggles closer to you and rests her head on your shoulder while you sit back and watch everyone else finish opening their gifts.

***********************************************************************

The rest of the day is busy but productive. Natasha has never felt happier watching the students competitively decorate gingerbread houses, then go outside and play in the snow. You don’t join in anymore, preferring to watch from the side. You’re already wearing the flannel Natasha got for you and Natasha gazes at you adoringly from afar. Despite the differences the two of you had from time to time, she hasn’t loved another person the way she loves you. But sometimes she worries that you don’t feel the same way.

You still don’t talk very much, hardly opening up about your past the way Natasha has spilled about hers. Although you seem mostly content at the mansion, Natasha can tell you’re still adjusting to being around so many people. The life of solitude in the cabin in the woods had clearly been more your style, and she feels guilty for dragging you away from that. But as much as she would love to spend all day with you cozied up in a cabin you built with your own hands, it wasn’t a realistic option. Not with all the threats and dangers that could come her way.

Which is why it was so important to Natasha that the Red Room be dealt with, as soon as possible.

She didn’t like how dismissive you got every time she brought it up, but she understood why. You had found your domestic bliss and didn’t want to let it go anytime soon. She wasn’t going to blame you. But she wished you would actually listen to her instead of shutting her down all the time. She would figure out how to broach the topic with you eventually, but today was not that day.

After a quiet dinner, which is basically just warmed up leftovers from breakfast, Natasha finds you sitting by yourself on the couch in front of a dying fire. Most of the students had retired to their rooms, exhausted by the day’s festivities. Natasha sits next to you, leaning her shoulder against yours.

“Hey,” she whispers.

“Hi.” You offer her your hand and she clasps onto it, threading her fingers with yours. You smile when you see the wooden ring on her finger. It looks perfect on her. “Did you have fun today?” you ask.

“It was the best Christmas I ever had,” she replies. “Thank you for inviting me.”

“Of course.”

Natasha is tired, but there’s still one more thing she wants to do with you. She rests her hand on your thigh, subtly at first, then she slowly starts to stroke your leg, her fingers barely perceptible through your jeans. You ignore her and her movements become bolder, creeping towards the inside of your thigh now and squeezing it lightly.

“Can I help you with something?” you finally ask. Natasha has always been a little more shy when it comes to asking for intimacy with you. But you were patient with her and never pressured her, and that encouraged her to have the confidence to ask if you were in the mood–even if she didn’t always do it with words.

“Do you want to go upstairs?” she says, leaning forward until her lips almost touch yours. “I still have one more present to give you.”

“Oh, do you now?” you ask, trying to kiss her but she pulls away.

“You have to come upstairs,” she repeats, offering you her hand as she stands up.

“All right, all right.” Your knees creak as you push off the couch, taking Natasha’s hand and following her upstairs. You can hear her heartbeat pounding with excitement or maybe that’s…yours? You hope everyone else has gone to sleep by now, otherwise they wouldn’t be falling asleep anytime soon.

Back in the privacy of the bedroom, you let Natasha lead you to the bed and you sit down on the edge with her climbing onto your lap.

“Is this okay?” she asks, her hands locking around the back of your neck.

“Of course,” you whisper, leaning in until your foreheads touch. Your arms circle her waist to hold her securely in place. Her breath fans over your face and her heartbeat pumps at an almost alarmingly quick rate.

“I want you,” she says, rocking her hips against your thighs. “I want you to take me.”

“How do you want me?” you ask, before she presses her lips roughly to yours, her fingers digging into your neck. Her arousal spikes and so does yours. You open your mouth when she licks your lips to deepen the kiss. She tastes like vanilla and cookies and you instinctively pull her closer to you, wanting to devour her until the morning.

Natasha grabs the collar of your flannel, pulling apart the top buttons and running her hands down your chest and abs. Your skin burns where she touches you and you nip lightly on her bottom lip when she rests her hands on the buckle of your belt.

“I want to taste you,” you pant, hoping your request doesn’t come across as too greedy. Natasha has to fight down her thrill of excitement at your suggestion, wondering how you knew exactly what she wanted. She doesn’t even take the time to agree with you, instead hurriedly stripping off her clothes to show you how eager she is. You take off the flannel, setting it aside with reverence, then removing your undershirt and jeans. Natasha tackles you back on the bed, your thigh fitting between her legs and you feel the heat from her center rubbing against you.

“You’re so wet for me,” you say, holding her hips again and guiding her up until she’s hovering over your chest. “My good girl.”

“Your good girl,” Natasha reiterates, grabbing onto the headboard for support before she positions herself over your face. The scent of her arousal is almost overwhelming to you, and you waste no time bringing your arms over her thighs to pull her down. Natasha whines when your mouth makes contact with her slick center, your tongue slipping into her and coating with her juices.

Natasha moans, grinding down so you can enter her deeper. Your arms tighten to prevent her from moving too much; you want to do things at your own pace. Her taste is so intoxicating and addictive, you could lie here forever eating her out. Natasha grips the headboard tighter, struggling to rock against your face for more friction, but you won’t let her. She whines in desperation, the noises music to your ears. Your tongue dips into her again before tracing up to her clit, flicking against it and Natasha grinds down harder on your chin, gasping and moaning.

“Y/N,” she begs. “Y/N, please.”

You stop, pulling away from her far enough to say, “What do you want, baby?”

“I want you,” she repeats, her voice breaking. “I need you.”

“I know, baby. I got you.” As much as you love teasing her, this is not the time. You knew Natasha could sometimes be insecure about your relationship with her. But you had no regrets in choosing to be with her and loved her so much. You would never miss an opportunity to show her, either.

You loosen your arms around her so she has some freedom to move and Natasha quickly adjusts herself until she’s comfortable. When she settles back down on your face again, you find her clit and wrap your lips around it, rewarded with a long, drawn-out moan. Natasha rolls her hips to help you find a good rhythm. You feel her thighs tremble and more of her slick spills onto your tongue.

“Oh, god. Oh fuck, Y/N,” she whimpers, the headboard flexing dangerously from how hard she’s holding onto it.

Your stomach practically burns from how aroused you are with Natasha riding your face, and you’re hoping she’ll help you relieve some of the tension once you make her finish. You’ve held out as long as you could, and you can tell Natasha is ready to fall over the edge. Your tongue rests on her clit again, swiping upwards in a straight line, then dragging down at a diagonal angle, then going back up.

Your tongue moves in an inverted V next, drawing an imaginary bar between them.

You lick down her clit once more, then swipe perpendicular.

Natasha is panting and shaking, completely unaware that you’re trying to spell her name on her with your tongue. One of her hands has left the headboard and is holding tightly onto your hair in an attempt to guide you, but your own plan is already in action.

She doesn’t make it the next A, her back arching and thighs clamping around your head as she finally cums. You don’t let a drop of it go to waste, lapping at her sensitive folds until she’s whimpering and trying to pull your head away. Natasha lifts herself off your face with a contented sigh, turning herself away from the headboard now, but you’re not quite done with her yet.

You pull her back down on your face and she falls forward with her hands on your chest.

“Did I say you could go anywhere?” you grumble playfully.

“Y/N,” Natasha giggles.

“Can I have one more, darling?” you ask, and she responds by sitting back on your face. But now Natasha is the one with other ideas, as she eyes the veins on your flexing abdomen that disappear behind the band of your underwear. You feel her hands run across your stomach and your breath hitches when she tugs down your underwear.

“Nat, what are you–oh, shit.” Now it’s your turn to gasp and moan when Natasha leans over and places her mouth on your dripping center. You completely lose focus of what you were doing, instinctively spreading your legs open further to give her better access. “Fuck baby, oh fuck,” you whine, your head dropping back on the pillow.

“Did I say you could stop?” Natasha teases, turning your own words back against you. It takes a monumental effort, but you calm yourself enough to put your mouth to work again. Natasha almost soaks herself when she realizes how turned on you’ve gotten just from eating her out. Now she has only one mission in mind: make you cum before she does a second time. But you’re refusing to make it easy for her, and Natasha is already dangerously close despite having finished mere minutes ago. She knows she has to hurry, but judging from the tremble in your thighs, you’re closer than you’re letting on.

Natasha’s tongue circles your clit and she can feel you panting against her, your own efforts faltering in their rhythm. She pushes back against your face to remind you of what you promised her. Your fingers dig into the curve of her ass and you feel her breasts rubbing against your abs. Her mouth is so hot and wet and perfect on you, making you lose your breath every time her tongue touches you.

“Fuck, Nat,” you whimper, feeling like you’re losing control of yourself. You’re not even sure if what you’re doing to her anymore is working because all you can think about is the throbbing in your lower stomach that begs to be released. Your back arches off the bed when her tongue lashes at your clit and she struggles and fails to push down on your thighs to keep you grounded. “Nat, I can’t,” you warn, a little embarrassed at how fast you’re ready to release.

“It’s okay,” you hear Natasha say, “Cum for me, baby.”

White floods your vision and all the muscles in your body tighten as you spill into her mouth, a moan catching in your throat. Your head spins in a rush of endorphins and you’re practically convulsing underneath Natasha when you finally come down from your high. She purrs in delight at her success, gently squeezing at your thighs. And as much as you want to flip her around and press her head against your chest, you still do owe her.

Natasha’s second orgasm is a little more subdued but just as pleasurable. She bites the inside of your thigh to quiet the noise of her moan and you almost cum again. But once she finds the strength to move, Natasha crawls back up to you, nuzzling the side of your head and kissing you. Normally, you could go several rounds without even stopping for a break, but you’re unusually exhausted today. Maybe it was from waking up at four o’clock to work on breakfast for everyone or making sure that the Christmas activities throughout the day ran smoothly.

Natasha rests her head on your chest, listening to your steady heartbeat and you rub her shoulder, tilting your head down to breathe in the faded scent of her shampoo.

“Merry Christmas, Y/N,” she whispers.

“Merry Christmas, darling.”

Dear Diary,

Professor Xavier called me personally to his office today. I was really nervous that I was in trouble for something. I’m still not sure how I feel about his mind-reading thing. I try to keep my thoughts in check when he’s around, but I think that makes it seem like I’m hiding something. But other than that, he’s only ever been polite and respectful to me, and I can tell Y/N really looks up to him as a mentor and father figure.

He told me he has a lead on where the Red Room could be and asked if I still want to pursue them. Of course I do, but I know Y/N isn’t happy about it. I thought she would understand more. I know she’s got her own past that she hasn’t told me the entirety of yet (not that she’s required to), but she’s told a few stories so I know her situation is similar enough to mine. I wish she was more supportive instead of trying to talk me out of it, but I know she’s worried too. She doesn’t want me rushing back into danger and I totally get that. But I just…I can’t stay here and be cared for and protected and loved when there are so many of my sisters still being held against their will and forced into doing horrible things.

Luckily, the professor seems more understanding of things. But I don’t want him or anyone else here risking their lives for me. If I have to go alone, I will. I don’t know if I can do it alone, though. I’m sure Y/N will insist on tagging along no matter what. I just hope she doesn’t get too grumpy about the whole thing.

Love,

Nat

***********************************************************************

Dear Diary,

I still haven’t told Y/N what the professor told me 2 days ago (assuming she hasn’t already gone through my diary and read about it here). I tried to mention it after dinner, but I could tell as soon as I let the “R” word slip she was not paying attention to the conversation anymore. I don’t want my frustration to build up, so I’ll probably have to be straightforward about it, which isn’t easy.

I know the professor can hear all of my thoughts, so I wonder if he’s going to get tired of them and just talk to Y/N himself. But probably not. This is my problem to handle. I’ll find the courage somehow to deal with it.

I just hope it doesn’t cause Y/N to look down on me for this. I’m already nervous that I’m constantly annoying her, and if she gets fed up enough and kicks me out I will literally have nowhere to go and at that point, I’d welcome back the Red Room with open arms. That probably seems a little dramatic, but I really don’t want to risk losing the best person that ever came into my life. I have Y/N to thank for everything I have here, and I think most people in my position would call me crazy for trying to make any changes to my situation.

But I’m not like most people. And I have to do what I think is right, even if others try to stop me.

I’ll bring it up to Y/N later again. Maybe if I catch her in a good mood she’ll be more receptive to the idea. Wishing luck to my future self.

Love,

Nat

RISK IT ALL | L.HC (teaser)

read the full fic here!

SYNOPSIS. In theory, playing a card game called Risk It or Drink It during your holiday kickback sounded fun. In reality, it was your group’s wild plot scheme for you and your close friend, Donghyuck, to finally get yourselves together in more ways than one.

PAIRING. Lee Donghyuck x fem!Reader GENRE. Friends-to-Lovers!AU, Holiday!AU, Christmas!AU, Party!AU, comedy, smut (minors dni!) WORD COUNT. (teaser) 673, full fic estimate ~7k

WARNINGS. original character (Ari), language (crude sexual jokes, talks about sex positions, and profanities), alcohol and food consumption, adult drinking games with dares, explicit content (fingering, oral/sixty-nine, nipple play, praise, penetrative, missionary, etc.), nicknames (princess), will add more once they come up! PLAYLIST. Up to You - PRETTYMUCH feat. NCT Dream

DISCLAIMER. This is work of fiction. I do not own the people/characters or concepts I have written about. You cannot translate or copy my work. © sehunniepotwrites, 2023

The moment you pulled the card, Donghyuck shifted his head to read the card with you. His body began to shake with laughter as the rest of your crew rushed you to reveal the dare. God, you were not drunk enough for this. He grabbed the paper out of your fingers and took the liberties of saying the dare, “Hold a piece of food in your mouth and have the person on your right,” he paused, grazing his soft fingers on your bare knee, “that’s me, princess—”

“Yes, I know my rights from lefts, Hyuck,” you interrupted him.

“—and have them take it from you.”

“I’m picking the piece of food you use and don’t you dare complain!” Ari yelled before anyone else could claim the job. Everyone watched as she stifled through a plate of French fries. Her playful grin expanded across her pretty face when she found the perfect fry—a thin, crispy piece that was around an inch long. The group exploded with excitement as she held it up.

“That,” you pointed to the fry in your friend’s hand, “cannot be legal. That has to be against the rules!”

Jaemin pretended to examine the fry his girlfriend was holding. “Hmm, looks fine to me.”

“You’re a menace, Jaem,” you hissed at him.

Jaemin came right back, “Just doing what has to be done to take us out of our misery.”

With everything already set, you resigned to your friend’s wishes and begrudgingly accepted the dare. Ari handed you the tiny piece of food and you sighed dramatically before placing it between your teeth. It barely extended past your top and bottom lip. You shot Donghyuck a widened look, telling him to hurry. If you were to prolong this dare any longer, you were afraid of the fry breaking in your hold before he’d get to it.

You stood still as Donghyuck approached with a smug look. It disappeared as soon as his eyes dropped to the french fry you held, lingering at the sight of your parted mouth. When he looked back up at you, there was a sort of look in the brown irises you were so attracted to. Hunger. Anticipation.

“Lean in,” someone shouted but you couldn’t.

Swallowing back your nervousness, his two warm hands touched your face, both molding to your cheeks. Shutting your eyes as he grew closer, the last thing you saw was his handsome face tilting to get a better angle. Donghyuck’s actions were lightning quick and sudden, making your heart beat skyrocket towards the moon. His breath tickled your skin and then, his lips brushed ever so gently against yours. It didn’t last too long; after all, his goal was to retrieve the french fry. You did your best to focus on that, remembering not to bite down to break the crunchy strip of food–the task at hand was hard but not impossible.

Then, there was a slight pressure, the plushness of his lips pushing into you as Donghyuck bit, tugging the food out of your mouth.

Still frozen in your spot, you sensed Donghyuck pulling back. You exhaled through your nostrils and slowly opened your eyes. Your best friend was right in front of you, wearing a smirk as he chewed on the fry. He licked around his mouth, gathering the tiny dusts of salt before humming. “Salty,” was all he said while everyone surrounding you laughed at his antics.

Ignoring the hammering of your heart as he continued to stare at your lips, you cleared your throat. As much as you tried to shove all feelings of attraction aside, Donghyuck kept his sultry gaze fixated on you. You watched as it dipped back down to your lips again, his fingers coming up to brush away the little specks of salt that stuck your mouth. Everything was too much for you–the warmth of his touch, the intensity of his stare, the looks the others were giving you–it was time to direct everyone’s attention elsewhere.

“Next dare,” you called out, facing away from Donghyuck.

AUTHOR'S NOTE. Hi all! I'm back with a (shorter) one-shot! This Haechan brainrot has been sitting in my drafts since September.

Love Malfunction

Chapter 1: Anything But Love

Summary: Love is in the air as the Mushroom Kingdom is celebrating Valentine's Day, except for a certain someone. Mr Puzzles has hated the holiday ever since he can remember, seeing how nobody loved him his whole life. That is until he unexpectedly runs into his loathsome enemy, Mario. After the encounter with the stupid plumber, things only get worse for the television as he starts hacking up flower petals, pink ooze drips from his screen, and for some reason these symptoms worsen anytime the TV man gets around the red Italian. Now the both of them must fix this before their days of romance turn into disaster.

It was that time of the year when love and romance was flying around. The time where couples got together for that special day and gifts were bought for exchanging to a very special person. Anyone could be the special person in this scenario: Melony and her sadly departed Axol, Smg3 and his secret crush on Smg4, and even Mario with his one true love—spaghetti. The only one who could never be that special someone was Mr Puzzles. The dastardly villain with a TV head who had used the crew for his own twisted schemes, grown out of only one thing: hatred of his past. This holiday was certainly no exception. He was forced to go out on the streets and grimace at the tender kisses. Groveling in disgust of all the sweet chocolate hearts and colorful flowers being handed out.

A green heart monitor line graced his screen as Mr Puzzles put a hand up to his face. "Ugh! Gross! How can these brainless peas possibly drool over these cheap gestures!? All this talk about love and affection!" He began mimicking the townsfolk, putting on fake smiles and dancing around.

"Ohhhhh I loovveee yoouuu!"

"I wouldddd neevverrr leave yoouuuu!"

"I care much more about you than some stupid TV THAT ONLY WANTED TO BRING ENTERTAINMENT TO THE WORLD! WE DESERVE ALL THIS LOVE MUCH MORE THAN HIM! NOBODY LOVES HIM!"

A blinding anger settled over him as those hyper realistic eyes broke free and Mr Puzzles stomped his foot down hard. He clutched his chest, breathing rapidly as the television fell into dismay. "I don't understand...I've changed haven't I? Even when I learn my lesson, this feeling just won't go away."

Not one person, not even his parents loved him. Only...Leggy. Mr Puzzles missed her tremendously, but after that whole Puzzle Park ordeal, he knew that he had to let her go. Mr Puzzles took a deep breath to steady himself and thought about how Meggy was doing. He placed a curious finger on his screen and tapped in a rhythmic fashion. "Perhaps I could do a quick check, just to make sure she's okay of course."

Before he set off, Mr Puzzles watched as Frankie was holding a giant heart out in the middle of the street, declaring "III LOOVVVEEE YOUUUUU!" and then got hit by a car. Puzzles rolled his eyes while muttering "And get away from these idiots..."

Mario happily knocked at Smg4's door with a dopey smile like always. "ESSMMMGGG44444!" He was certainly excited for the blue eyed man to answer as he had a collection of card, board, and video games that he couldn't wait to share. A few seconds in and Four opened the door, but he wasn't wearing his usual overalls. He was wearing his spy suit from WOTFI 2023. It made the clueless plumber question what was so important for his best friend to be so nicely dressed, but he shrugged it off. "Oh, hi Mario! Is something wrong?" The red Italian didn't answer his question as he just shoved the games in his face and cheered "Let's hang! Mario got's lots of things he wants to play today!"

He tugged at Four's hand, begging him to go to the game room, but he just grimaced and awkwardly replied "Oooo, sorry Mario...but I'm on a very important date right now!" He leaned in seductively and whispered into the Italian's ear "(and I can't keep her waiting.)" Mario looked over his shoulder to see a cruddy drawing of a girl on Four's computer screen. It was so ugly that it made him revolt in disgust, especially since he couldn't imagine Smg4 dating someone other than a certain bearded man. Mario began wailing and rolling on the ground, crying "Waahhhhh you never want to do anything with Mario!"

"It's not that...I just-"

Four had trouble finding the right thing to say for consolation until the crybaby plumber spoke up again. "Mario doesn't want his single a** to be stuck alone on Valentine's Day!"

"Why do you think I have my date scheduled today?" Four unimpressively replied as sometimes he wondered what made Mario so dumb to miss the obvious. "Besides, don't you have your spaghetti?" The mention of his favorite food made him perk up instantly, pulling a plate out and stroking it weirdly. "Oh mi amore...how could Mario forget his one true love?" Four rolled his eyes and grabbed the phone off his desk. "Well anyway, I've got to get going. Good luck with your...girlfriend or whatever." He grabbed his computer girlfriend and strolled out the door as Mario sat there, oddly thinking to himself for once.

"Es-mg-4 is right! Mario can't be stuck here like some whiny bich! Mario's going to find himself a girlfriend!" The plumber stood up confidently when he noticed the plate of spaghetti sitting there sadly. Mario expressed similar feelings as he cradled the plate of pasta and whispered "Don't-a cry. Mario will see you tonight." He stuffed it back down his pants, which was incredibly disgusting, and set off to find himself a date.

Mr Puzzles hid behind the wooden beam to the entrance of the Showgrounds, not wanting to attract attention (for once) as he didn't wish to spend the day being hunted down by the crew. He poked his head out and scanned the area for the orange haired girl. "Alright, this shouldn't be too hard." He pulled out some binoculars and scanned the property, finding many of the crew members outside. None of them were the particular one he wanted as it was just Bob running away from the cops with his TOTALLY legal plants, Wario riding on a suffering Yoshi with a big bag of coins he stole, and Egad trying out his new invention, the cloning hairgrowing ray. Mr Puzzles slowly lowered the binoculars with a displeased expression, face slapping himself for ever thinking these dimbulbs could be of any use to him.

He was about to give up and head back home when he heard an encouraging voice shout "That's it Tari! Don't give up!" Instantly, Mr Puzzles screen changed to exhilaration as he spun around and saw in the distance Meggy giving a coaching lesson to Tari. "Just remember to be assertive!" Even though he couldn't talk to her, Mr Puzzles was still thrilled that Meggy was safe and alive in the physical sense. She had actually done really well from recovering as that was enough to convince Mr Puzzles he hadn't completely lost everything.

"Ah wonderful! With my satisfactory check in of dear Meggy, I'd say my work here is done." He was about to happily strode off when he heard another voice. An annoying voice that sung "La la la la la!" Mr Puzzles didn't have to be an Einstein to know who that was. "Oh no..." This time he turned dramatically slow as he didn't want to be right. Alas, it was. Mario.

That stupid fat Italian was going around, peaking in trees and bushes, calling out "Ladies! Come on out girlies! Your sexy hero has arrived!" Mr Puzzles quickly dove into a bush besides the pole and poked out, asking "That idiot is looking for a date? Pfff like anyone would ever date that guy." Out of everyone Mr Puzzles had ever met, he could easily tell the only exception to him being the only unlovable person was that downright moronic enemy of his.

While caught up in his intensive thinking, Mr Puzzles soon noticed Mario shooting a glance his way and he quickly ducked down into the bush. "If he sees me, he'll never let me live it down. I've got to get out of here!" He began crawling away, but was met with two big feet. Mr Puzzles froze in terror as he gulped and forced himself to look up. He was now face to face with the fat Italian himself. He braced himself for his fate, but surprisingly, Mario just kept looking at him with those crossed blue eyes. After moments of silence, he finally waved and said "Hello TV guy!"

Mr Puzzles didn't know how to respond to that so he just gave a small wave back. "Uh...hi?" Mario then weirdly tried making friendly conversation as he said "What brings you back to the Showgrounds?" The television just raised an eyebrow in confusion. Did he seriously forget everything Mr Puzzles did to him a few months ago? "Just checking on a friend..." He gestured towards Meggy as the Italian let out a long "Ohhhhhhhh." Guess he didn't forget.

"Well why didn't you say so!?" He held his hand out to Puzzles, making him flinch backwards, but then realized he was just offering to help him up. His confusion began turning to suspicion as he gently grabbed Mario's hand and let the plumber pull him up. Mr Puzzles dusted his clothes off as he muttered "Um...thanks I guess?" The two stood there, trying to avoid eye contact for a while until the television pointed towards the exit and said "I should really be going now..."

Mario happily nodded and gave a thumbs up. "Okie dokie!" Puzzles was about to take off when he noticed the cheery attitude of Mario and slanted his eyes. "Alone..."

"Okie!"

Fury boiled up in Mr Puzzles as it tore him to bits that he couldn't figure out what game Mario was playing with him. Finally, he spat out "What is your problem!? After everything I've done to you and your friends, all you have to say is oKAy!? I don't understand! Why are you being...so nice to me?" His anger died down as Puzzles felt ashamed of himself for being treated as anything more than some piece of lowdown scum. Mario shrugged and said "I dunno."

The TV man sighed sadly and took out his emotions by kicked a tiny pebble in the dirt. Then he sat down on the path and mumbled "Why would I expect you to understand? You're just an idiot. You don't know what it's like to be cast out by society." Mario's derpy face died down as genuine concern took over. Carefully, he walked over next to Mr Puzzles and sat down next to him, asking "But TV man said he learned his lesson. That he was going to search for a new path."

"Oh believe me Mario I did try." Digital tears formed in Puzzles eyes as he made a wide variety of hand gestures in the most cheeriest way he could. "I tried everything from paining to owning a puppy. Oh what fun adventures I went on. I actually believed I could finally be happy for once in my life. But that was just a stupid dream. And seeing all these couples everywhere has made me realize..." The Italian listened intently with great worry on his face.

"My parents are right. Nobody loves me. Nobody ever will."

He sobbed a little and covered his face with his hands as Mario heard the wrenchful sounds coming from his enemy. The Italian gave him a side hug and whispered "Oh fratellino...don't-a cry." Mr Puzzles' face went warm when he felt the embrace, quickly pulling away and standing up. "E-Excuse you! I never cry!" He wiped his tears as fast as he could and changed the subject. "Besides, don't you have a date to find?"

That had completely slipped the plumber's small mind as the only thing that mattered to him in that moment was the well being of this poor, forsaken TV man. But there wasn't much he could do. Mario kept staring downcast at the ground when that's when he saw it. One lonely rose growing out of the ground. Its petals were a dark red with a hint of pink and sharp thorns covered its roots. That didn't stop the idiot from making Mr Puzzles feel better as he grabbed the flower and pulled it out of the ground. Puzzles kept crossing his arms when a raised flower caught his eyes and he saw the gracious Italian offering it with a smile.

"What are you doing?"

"Mario wants to make you feel better."

A heart monitor line with the most vibrant shade of red went through his screen. His fingers twitched when he felt them rub up against Mario's. His grip on the flower was decent, holding it up near his chest as he was speechless. The Italian just kept staring at him with high hopes. After another period of silence, Mr Puzzles uttered "Why this might be the most...HORRIBLE, PUTRID, MOST POORLY CHOSEN THING YOU'VE EVER DONE!" Mario gasped as Puzzles told him off the best way he could while burying his emotions. "AND I HOPE I NEVER SEE YOU OR YOU'RE SICK FRIENDS AGAIN!" He was about to throw the flower on the ground and stomp it out when Mario closed his eyes in preparation. Mr Puzzles hesitated. He couldn't bring himself to destroy such a gesture.

He groaned, grasping his TV box in annoyance for the never ending headache Mario made him feel. He stuck it in his vest pocket as he scolded "Forget it! This flower doesn't deserve to be put out of its misery." The Italian opened his eyes again, squealing in adoration as he leaned on Mr Puzzles and teased "Awww TV man does have feelings~"

"NO I DON'T! I am cold blooded and I never have any feelings of love or care whatsoever! Least of all feelings for you! So why don't you just leave me alone already!" He stomped off in outrage as Mario cheekily waved and replied "Bye bye TV guy! Mario hopes he helped!" Little did Mario know, he had caused a severe chain of events that were now caught between him and Mr Puzzles.

Mr Puzzles slammed the door to his lowdown home in rage, complaining non stop. "THAT STUPID, ANNOYING, PESKY ITALIAN! DOESN'T HE KNOW HOW TO TAKE 'NO' FOR AN ANSWER!? I HATE HIM! I HATE HIS STUPID FACE! I HATE HIS STUPID JOKES! I HATE HIS STUPIDITY! I HATE-" He looked down at the thorny flower, taking it out of his pocket and observing it. "I hate this flower. Nothing but a display of pity." He clutched it hard in his grasp. Though he was angry, something was preventing him from destroying the rose.

"Why should I act this way for him? He's done nothing for me. I've done nothing for him. We're just...too different to get along." A wave of sadness overcame him as Puzzles said nothing and set the rose on his halfway destroyed table. This was all too much for him. He just wanted some sleep. Mr Puzzles trudged up to his discount bed and laid on the mattress, glancing up at the ceiling. When that didn't make him comfortable, he grunted and turned on his side.

"I hate him..."

As his eyes slowly drifted to sleep and his screen flickered off, the house fell into an unprecedented silence. The only thing that stirred was a small rose, now glowing a bright red shade that lit up the room.

Author's Note: I had just finished this chapter when I saw the new episode of SMG4 and I had to write it into the script. I hope you like this story so far because Mr Puzzles will not be having a good one in the next chapter.

2025 Year of Fluff

I got inspired to make this after a friend shared with me the 2023 Year of Whump made by @soheavyaburden and I wanted to make something like it, but for individuals like me who prefer fluff and can’t (for one reason or another) do a month long challenge. I’ve had this sitting in drafts for 2 years and I’m finally going to publish it this year.

This is my first time ever doing something like this, but I did my best to have a nice mix of prompts that can work for romantic fluff, platonic fluff, family fluff, etc. so that no matter what kind of fluff you want to do, there’s prompts for you!

I also themed some weeks around big holidays for those who celebrate them while keeping the prompts vague or open to interpretation and aren’t really holiday specific. For example, the week of Easter there’s “scavenger hunt” and the week of Christmas there’s “gift exchange” and “home for the holidays.”

For any prompts where there’s an “X” in it, just substitute the X out for whatever word you want that fits in the context of the prompt. Any prompts marked with “(any)” really means any interpretation of the word/prompt. For example: “Game Day (any)” can be anything from actual sports to video games, board games, card games, RPGs, etc.

You can choose to do this event monthly, weekly, or wild card and change up which you do! Wild Card is basically doing whatever prompt strikes your fancy from any month/week!

This is completely at your leisure! No stress, no pressure, just fun and fluff! Feel free to mix & match prompts or pair with other challenges to your heart’s desire (the only exception is whump, hurt/comfort is fine but there needs to be comfort).

This is open to all fandoms, relationships, forms of media creation (except AI), etc.!

I don’t have a place on AO3 you can submit to, but if someone else wants to make one, contact me and I’ll add the link in this post!

Batman: The Animated Series Harley Quinn being the Blueprint for Modern Harley Quinn

my actual version of this post

Working On The Side Of / With The Batfam

Harlequinade (EP) • "Batman and Robin have no time to spare in stopping the Joker from detonating an atomic bomb, so they enlist the help of Harley Quinn to hunt the Joker down."

Batgirl Adventures • "When Poison Ivy is captured by mobsters, Harley Quinn must act quickly to save her, so she turns to the only hero she can find: Batgirl!"

Batman: Gotham Adventures #43 • "Who's out to get Harley Quinn? Batman has to take her on as a sidekick to find out. The answer awaits deep in Harley's history...that is, if she and the Dark Knight survive the traps set for them all over Gotham!"

Batman: The Adventures Continue Season 1 (2020) #12 | Season 3 #2, #5, #7

Also before anyone comes @ me all "oh but what about her participating in the Death in the Family storyline", I've made a post here talking about the exacts of Harley's involvement in Jason's death.

The Batman Adventures: Mad Love

Being Bisexual (cry about it♡)

Paul Dini: When Bruce and I did the Harley and Ivy miniseries, it was certainly implied that [Ivy and Harley] had a relationship with each other—they shared hugs and kisses. I didn’t want that to overpower what the story was, but the relationship between them is so natural.

Paul Dini: The more I worked with [Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy], the more I could see [a romantic relationship] happening. Unfortunately, at the time, in an animated kids cartoon, you really couldn’t get into the complexity of that or honor what a relationship like that could really be. We just showed them together as friends and on fairly intimate terms when they were out of the costume, but nothing was implicit because if we couldn’t do that relationship properly then we didn’t want to do it at all.

Batman: The Animated Series • "Holiday Knights"

Batgirl Adventures (1997)

Love Is Love (2016)

Batman: The Adventures Continue Season 3 #2-7

HQ, turning her head towards the camera: "Talk about grasping at straws. Oh, well, at least I'm going out on a joke."

Being A Domestic Violence Victim (And That Being A Prevalent Aspect Of Her Story)

"Everyone else sees the Joker laugh, only Harley has ever seen him cry. It's the only reason she stays with him.

Harleen, having once been a therapist, has touched onto his vulnerability. She knows who he is underneath. That’s what keeps her there."

Harley Quinn: Mad Love (Novel) Written By: Pat Cadigan and Paul Dini

I am aware this last one isn't technically in the BTAS universe, but later on in the novel, it blends into the Mad Love comic/episode and then goes past it. I only used scenes that were originally featured in the comic/episode as they are just those scenes in a purely written form.

Harley Quinn: Mad Love (Novel) Pg. 261 He lowered his head and slumped, the very picture of dejection. Harley couldn’t stand to see him that way. She cuddled up next to him and took him in her arms. “I know how to make some smiles, puddin’,” she said in a playful, sultry voice. His whole body stiffened under her touch. “Puddin’?” But she knew it was hopeless; she’d done the wrong thing again. A moment later, he was leading her down the stairs by her nose, pinching it so hard between his thumb and forefinger that she cried out on every step. “Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow! That hurts! It really, really hurts! Please, puddin’—” He pinched even harder as he led her to the door, opened it, then turned her around. “How many times do I have to tell you?” he roared, applying his foot to her backside. “Don’t call me puddin’!” Harley scrambled to her feet just as he slammed the door in her face. She started to beg him to let her in but suddenly all the fight went out of her and she sank down to sit cross-legged in front of the door. Thrown out again; how many times was this? She’d lost count. No, she hadn’t. This was the twenty-fifth time. That averaged out at roughly three times a week for the past two months. - Harley Quinn: Mad Love (Novel) Pg. 255 “Hey, that’s a real gasser, ain’t it, Mistah J?” she said between giggles. In the next moment, Gordon thought the nitrous was making him hallucinate as events took a sharp turn into the surreal. The Joker grabbed the floppy points on Harley’s hat, pulling her to him so they were nose to nose. “I deliver the punchlines around here!” he bellowed into her face. “Got that?” “Yessir,” Harley Quinn said, her voice tiny and fearful. The Joker shoved her aside and the jolly Clown Prince of Crime persona was back.

What to expect from Scorpio season 2023?

Scorpio season is basically upon us! Can you feel it? Autumn is here, and the weather has cooled down. We had a storm the past 2 days and a lot of flooding but today the sun is shining and the trees look absolutely stunning, so it seems like the perfect time for this reading!

"We are in the eye of the storm. We are going through intense times and Scorpio season will bring our attention, even more closely, to personal and collective shadows, shining a light in the dark and illuminating something we normally don’t see or don’t want to see."

How to choose a pile: Take a deep breath and close your eyes. Ask the universe if there is a message that you need to hear right now. You may either hear a number or be drawn to a pack once you open your eyes!

If the message doesn't resonate then it may not be for you.

♡ Private readings and extended readings are available - Check out my Ko-fi

♏♏♏♏LET'S GET TO IT♏♏♏♏

Please like and reblog <3

Pile 1!!! Welcome to this reading! Can I start off by saying that your energy feels sooo light! I know I spoke about the trees in the intro but your energy truly feels like a red leaf falling off a tree in the sunshine by the river. Your energy is impeccable. Even if you aren’t feeling it right now or if times have been rough for you after the eclipse, know that Scorpio season is going to be good for you and you may even end up feeling more like yourself right now. You may feel like dancing in the rain during some gloomier days or having a picnic during the cooler but sunnier days.

8 of pentacles, 4 of wands, the sun, temperance, the tower, the lovers

This may be due to your work life picking up. Work is going to be crazy for you in the best possible way! You may find yourself working at home a lot, even if things have been a bit stagnant for you, know that it’s about to change! Some of you may also be going on holidays at the very end of scorpio season - to a warmer country?! If so, don’t worry too much about your finances - things will work out for you. Work and finances may naturally preoccupy you and that’s ok pile 1. It’s about what you do with these worries. Don’t lock yourself away and stress by yourself. It’ll be ok for you to rely on others and request their help.

This season, it will be important for you to practise restraint and moderation. Things will happen really quickly, the job situation will improve quickly - but the downstide of this is that you won’t have time for yourself and you will need to find balance. Your family life may improve too - but again you may feel like you are spending all of your time with other’s and none with yourself. So finding balanc will be very important. Out of the blue you may find that a soulmate of ours comes into your life?! I asked for a clarifier and we go the 3 of swords - for some of you this will be an ex creeping back into your life and you will need to tell them to go away - for others it will be a new soulmate who will help you heal from an ex.

I felt an eye roll coming in as soon as I started shuffling my cards for you pile 2 AHAHAHAH what’s gotten you so frustrated?! I feel like you are simply done with everyone else’s sh*t and you just want a break! Because you deserve one! Your energy feels soooo moody right now but that’s ok. Youdon’t need to try to be happy for someone else. If you feel like eye rolling, just eye roll! If you feel like face palming, do it!

2 of swords, 6 of wands, the devil in reverse, the chariot, 4 of cups and page of cups

My dear pile 2, during scorpio season, the future is truly in your hands - what do you want to achieve? Do you have any plans? If so, then it is truly a blessing that the future is in your hands right now. Whether you take this season to work harder than ever or to take a breather - there is no wrong decision. You may have started a project during Libra season or at the very leats you’ve laid out the work during Libra season. You may not be where you want to be by the end of Scorpio season but by he end of Sag season? You are going to be an expert I am sure of it!

With the devil coming out in reverse for you pile 2, it will be important for you to establish boundaries and to not take any sh*t from anyone! Make sure you work on healthy boundaries especially since people will want to be around you, but you may need some “me-time!. If they are your friends, they will understand, No, you don’t need to reply to messages on the same day, nor do you need to hangout with your friend sif you are busy and if it will make you anxious. Focus on building healthy relationships. Even if you are’t sure what your healthy boundaries are yet, take the time to discover yourself and date yourself this month! Your energy may be quite low just before Halloween, so plan accordingly.

Do you feel like you are the only one who is getting rained on right now? Like the rainy clouds are following you around and bad luck just keeps chasing you. You may been feeling a tiny bit aggressive or just snappier than usual, but don’t worry this won’t last forever. Try to listen to your body and understand your need. What is making you feel this snappy? How can you move away from it? Even if all it takes it going for a run and exhausting that energy. Regardless of what it is. You are going through it and you need to be gentle with yourself.

The star, the hermit, the emperor, 8 of cups, 7 of wands, king of wands

Look at these cards! Scorpio season may be rather uneventful for you - at leats to start with. You may feel like retreating and spending quality time with yourself. Doing what makes you happy. You may feel very hopeful for the future, or at least for the end of the year. You may not want to get in trouble with anyone and just naturally avoid conflict this season. For some reason pile 3…I feel like you will be very comfortable in your body this season. This may translate to you buying some clothes that you wouldn’t usually - whether is an interesting fit for you, or a different colour, whateve ryou choose will definitely bring attention your way. You may even go underwear shopping which will without a doubt make your confidence skyrock!

Things will go very smoothly for you until around the end of the month. Between 30/10-01/11 you may feel like everything is happening to you and not for you. You may break a couple of glasses, damage your favourite blanket or shrink your new clothes. During this time just be aware of your actions and follow instructions pile 3. You may want to get out of your comfort zone and try something new as well, just don’t let your clumsiness get in the way of you discovering a new hobby.

HP FESTS: HP Festival of Stars (Part 2)

HP Festival of Stars 2023:

Can I Be Yours? by Wanderingfair - E, 2 chapters - “Stop stalling.” She laughed. “Right.” he confirmed, “I’m off to have a dastardly time bashing around Londo- oh, wait, no, I’m off to go meet the gold-digger Mum set me up with,” he snapped. “I get those two confused all the time.” “Go,” she urged, tucking her mouth into the sleeve of her jumper to hide her smile. “I’ll be up reading when you get home.” “You’ll be asleep on the library sofa and we both know it.” He winked, before closing the door. OR Hermione is forced to watch her best friend Draco Malfoy go on dates and finally confront the fact that she doesn't just love him, she is in love with him.

Draco Malfoy's Five Step Plan to Being Forgettable by OneEqualTemper - E, one-shot - Five times Draco said, “New year, new me!” and one time Hermione said, “But I like the old you.”

happy xmas (war is over) by riddikulus_puff - M, one-shot - December, 1998. Thousands are devastated and still mourning the losses from the Second Wizarding War, now came along the celebrations regarding the Muggle tradition that had moved through into the Wizarding World. Many were holding on to others for support, yet Hermione Granger felt horribly alone. Wasn’t Christmas supposed to be a happy time surrounded by family and friends? A one-shot for the 2023 HP Festival of Stars Fic Fest Inspired by the song ‘Happy Xmas (War is Over)’ by John Lennon

Crystals in the Snow by JessicaLovejoyAO3 - T, one-shot - no summary

Open Last by nissasxnotes - T, one-shot - no summary

In A Sky Full of Stars (I Think I Saw You) by InAStarlessSky - G, one-shot - “There’s a solution for that.” As if to prove the truth of his statement, he divests himself of the heavy wool coat he’d been wearing up to that point and drapes it over one arm. He then extends his hand to her and says, “Come here, I want to show you something.” She hesitates a moment, as though expecting deceit. He only smirks and gives a small shake of head. “I won’t bite, love. Come.” She approaches, still shivering despite herself and stops only when she reaches his side. “Serpents do have fangs, Draco.” “And lions have claws. What of it?” Or the one where Hermione steals an invisibility cloak and Draco has a surprise to show her.

Christmas in September by MsPolaPotter - T, one-shot - One heirloom brings Hermione to the love that she had deserved all along.

The Holidate by likelyunfinished - M, one-shot - “I don’t want to be your bloody holidate ever again. I want to be yours instead.” “Mine,” she smiled. “Yours,” he kissed her then, and it was the first of many Christmas kisses to come. In which Hermione Granger needs a fake-date to her Christmas party only to be reminded that old feelings never fade.

Everything Gold Can Stay by charingfae - T, one-shot - Draco Malfoy would give all the money in his vault for a chance to woo Hermione Granger. And he very nearly does. Year after year, he gifts her the most perfect, thoughtful, elaborate Christmas presents. So why in Merlin's name does she keep getting mad? One of these years, he's bound to get it right. Isn't he? Draco paused and drank in her radiant expression, her wisdom, her never-ending quest to make everyone in her sphere of influence better—all the individual components that added up to the mathematically impossible sum that was Hermione Granger. “I don’t agree with that. I’d argue that the things we love never stop being special. Not for a moment, Granger.”

Naughty or nice, Granger? by Dramioneinkdrinker - E, one-shot - Hermione sat down next to Theo. “What’s the game?” The three of them froze, staring at her like she was a boggart. Hermione cleared her throat, nodding to the game of cards splayed in front of Malfoy. Blaise was the first to recover. “Eh, we’re doing a holiday variation of King’s Draw.” Malfoy considered her. “Have you ever played?” “It’s like the muggle game truth or dare,” Blaise explained. Hermione ignored the way her stomach dropped. Shit. She held a palm out to Malfoy, who held the deck. “What’s this holiday variation?” A slow smirk pulled at the corner of his mouth. “We call it naughty or nice.” OR Where Hermione Granger decides to act like a normal teenager.

A Running Start by sundayviolet - T, one-shot - Hermione and Draco disagree with the DMLE’s assessment when their mutual friend and coworker, Theo, is poisoned. Alone at Hogwarts for Christmas, they must work together to find the truth. With their favorite buffer in the hospital, the two grow closer and finally admit what’s been long in the making.

All the Baubles by hermionejean99 - T, one-shot - Draco and Hermione are late twenty-something best friends, established in their careers. Draco asks Hermione to help him shop for his mother and his new mystery girlfriend while spending the day in Muggle London.

You and Me, Forevermore by Goldenbucky - G, one-shot - The one where Hermione chooses to go. And where Draco chooses to stay.

HP Festival of Stars 2024:

Winter Means Nothing (Without You) by nicolawritesdrh - T, one-shot - “I can’t be the one that makes you miss Christmas with your parents year after year,” she whispered, a tear slipping from the corner of her eye. “Bullshit, Hermione!” Draco exploded, his emotions giving in to the fear that was creeping into his veins. “Winter means nothing without you.” -- Draco's first Christmas back with his parents after his breakup with Hermione is as miserable as the weather outside.

The Kissing Curse by 66gryf99 - E, 2 chapters - Draco has been cursed with a perpetual Mistletoe floating over his head that compels people to kiss him. And just in time for Yule too! Unfortunately, the only way to break it is with true love's kiss.

'tis the damn season by palomab1anca - M, WIP - Hermione finds herself in a spot of trouble when a lie turns into showing up at Christmas with Draco Malfoy at her side. What should have been a simple ruse turns complicated when a snowstorm forces bickering coworkers together.

Fridays at Flourish and Blotts by GreenInk_RedLetters - T, 5 chapters - Hermione is overworked, over-tired and just trying to get through the Christmas season. But when a flyer comes in the mail advertising a children's story hour every Friday at Flourish and Blotts, well, there isn't much she wouldn't do for her shy daughter. That is until an unexpected blond boy decides to befriend her very curious Rose. And not just any boy, but the son of her former childhood bully, Draco Malfoy. It's all chaos, cocoa, and cuteness until more than just her daughter's happiness is on the line. And maybe, just maybe, a little discovery about herself along the way. A Dramione story with all the holiday coziness, nostalgia, and self-reflection you need during the Christmas season.

lonely this christmas by riddikulus_puff - M, one-shot - “Happy Christmas, my darling,” Draco whispered, his arms wrapped around her as they swayed together in front of the Wiltshire Manor fireplace. “Merry Christmas, Draco.” She smooshed her face closer into his chest, allowing him to control their slow swaying movements. "I love you." She uttered, a smile gracing her lips. Happiness blossomed through her chest. The large Christmas pine twinkled in the corner of her eye. It was perfect. [WARNING: CHARACTER DEATH]

The Joy of Giving by nissasxnotes - G, one-shot - It's Christmas Eve and Hermione has dragged Draco out shopping for last minute gifts... again!

Until The Mistletoe Proves True by feistyferret - M, one-shot - When Hermione dodges mistletoe all holiday, she doesn't expect Draco Malfoy to notice—or to leave her the perfect gift. Amid festive tension, an unexpected connection unfolds.

This fest is ongoing.

Eyes

Written for @hinnymicrofic December 2023 - Prompt 6

Bringing a bit of Hinny Muggle AU into your day!

He seems surprised to see her, when he slouches into the classroom for Thursday evening detention. His tie is loosened, his jumper’s hanging around his shoulders, and his black hair is as dishevelled as always. He notices her straight away, already sitting near the back, exercise book out and pen at the ready, and she’s pleased about that. He looks her straight in the eye, brows raised, and smirks a bit. She looks right back, enjoying the excuse to gaze into those gorgeous green eyes, tries to play it cool and not smile back, but fails dismally.

He’s her brother’s best friend, and, from what she can tell, doesn’t have the best home life, so he’s always at her house, after school, at the weekends and in the holidays. Mum and Dad have practically adopted him.

She’s fancied him for ages. Literally years. At first, it was all very innocent, just a childish thing. Her friends couldn’t really understand, he was such a scrawny little thing back then. Everyone was so sure she’d grow out of it, but what actually happened was that he grew into it - when he was 16, and shot up about a foot overnight, shoulders broadening, jaw squaring. Then her friends (and, it seemed, half the other girls at school) got it, just fine.

By then, she was pretending that she was over it - even to herself. It wasn’t like he ever even looked at her anyway, not like that - but there were other boys who did, and they were just the distraction she needed. Right up until the day when she had the sneaking suspicion that perhaps he was looking at her like that after all. She isn’t absolutely sure, but sometimes, just sometimes, when he’s been at their house, maybe eating dinner, or playing cards or something, she thinks that perhaps she caught him staring. Once, she thought he even blushed. Ever since then, it seems like he’s the only thing she can think about.

Now, one thing she really doesn’t like is ambiguity. She’s a straightforward sort of person, she just wants to know. But she also isn’t stupid, and she’d quite like to retain at least a shred of dignity. So, she’s on a quest to see if she can’t… make something happen. One way or another. That, however, rests on being able to get him on his own, which is easier said than done, given how inseparable he and her brother are.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how she comes to find herself in detention this fine Thursday evening, having overheard her brother commiserate with him about having to attend on the school bus earlier in the week.

She’s delighted when he slopes to the back of the room and drops down into the seat next to her, just as the teacher announces they’ll be writing lines, chalking the text to copy onto the board at the front.

“Hi,” he whispers.

“Hi, yourself,” she replies.

“No talking!” commands the teacher. “This is detention, not a social club!”

She shoots him a regretful look, and picks up her pen. He does likewise. Moments later, he nudges her softly with his elbow and angles his exercise book towards her. Instead of the lines he’s meant to be writing, there’s a message for her, in his scrawly, spidery handwriting.

What are you here for?

Now that is a very good question indeed, because detention is generally something that she (unlike him) is very good at avoiding. But, being certain that he would be here, and being equally certain that her brother would not, was enough to overcome her natural inclination towards good behaviour. Or at least, her natural inclination towards not getting caught being bad.

Messing about in History, she writes back. Which is true. Surprisingly, it took quite a lot of effort - her History teacher paid so little attention to the class, she actually had to chuck a screwed up ball of paper at him to earn herself the detention.

He laughs softly. We can be reprobates together then.

She stills for a moment, twisting a strand of her red hair around her fingers, wondering if she dares actually flirt with him. Thinks to herself, Ah, fuck it.

I like the sound of that, she writes, catching his eye, and sending him a look that she hopes is suitably alluring.

He shoots her an interested glance, which she thinks is promising. Do you? he asks.

She bites her lip. Yeah. I do.

For a few minutes, he doesn’t write anything. Chews his pen, like he’s thinking some particularly deep thought. Then he nudges her again, making sure he has her attention. She looks at him curiously. Those gorgeous green eyes are sparkling, and she thinks she could actually drown in them. He meets her gaze intently, like he’s searching for something in her expression. Then, he takes a deep breath, and starts writing again.

I’m going to grab a bag of chips on the way home afterwards. Want to join me? We could eat them in the park?

Her heart leaps in her chest, and has to clamp her lips together to stop herself yelping in a very un-cool way. She looks sidelong at him, and he’s staring at her, not even trying to hide it. He is, she thinks, holding his breath.

With salt and vinegar? she asks, with a smirk.

He relaxes a bit, laughs silently. Of course!

Oh well, in that case, yeah, she writes. Sounds like fun.

And you know what? She’s right - it is.

Do you collect or would like to start collecting AEW trading cards? Or would you like certain cards for arts and crafts purposes?

Hi! I have a LOT of AEW base cards. I mean…A LOT.

I collect them and I have various cards from the following sets. If you’re curious or unfamiliar, each set is a link to tell you what the decks look like and provides a full checklist.

2021 AEW Upper Deck (the first ever set)

2022 AEW Upper Deck

2022 AEW Upper Deck ALLURE

2023 AEW Upper Deck

I just bought 7 hobby boxes and 2 blasters to add to the collection that haven’t gotten here yet. I don’t everything I already have cataloged yet. I’ve been working on that over the holiday break. If I had to ballpark, I’d say I’ve got no less than 4,000 cards. If there is something you need/want, feel free to reach out to me! I can make some good deals for you (I’m talking like .25 cents per card plus the cost of a stamp to send to you - even cheaperfor multiple orders, etc). I even have a bunch of toploaders if you’re wanting to decorate and personalize them, which has been a growing trend (especially in the K-POP fandom).

If you’re a collector and would like to trade rarer cards, send me a DM and let me know what you’re missing. I might have it and you might have what I need.

Try again? (30/9/2023)

I’m trying so hard to cope please bear with me. WHEN I CATCH YOU GEGE

edited on 12/12/2023

‘Love is the most twisted curse of all.’ You always say. And yet, you fell in love with me and I fell in love with you.

“Yo.” You wave, and you walk over to me, with that soft gaze and cocky smile. I knew you well, so I would just run over and give you the biggest hug ever. I mean you loved it even though the impact would make you fall down. “I missed you so much.” You’d breathe down my neck, and I’d say it back, “I missed you more, Satoru.”

We walked down the street, hand in hand, with ice cream too, preferably. You’d steal mine when you finish yours and we’d bicker until the same old man tells us off.

“Just buy a new one you good for nothing lanky tall guy.” I’d call you to make you pissed, but you would just tell me, “You love me though don’t you.” with that signature smirk of yours, and you take advantage of your height and take my ice cream away from me. It was like that everyday. It was good while it lasted though.

I moved to England the year later, but we facetimed every night. You visit me on every single weekend and every holiday you have, but I was forced into too many activities that I couldn’t make enough time for you. That must’ve been the case, because you broke up with me a month later, saying you can’t take it anymore. I know it was a full on lie but I had to give up, or I would bring you down with me. “I’m sorry Satoru, I-” I cried on call, I could see the red stains on your eyes too, but you were pretending to be calm and cool, I know you’re lonely but I can’t do anything about it. “Save it, just take care.” Then you cut the call, and I bawled my eyes out that night.

Moving on after you was hard, those times I had with you in Japan kept appearing in my mind. I heard from Shoko that you’d moved on and was dating another girl whose name was Himeko, I knew she was pretty and I told Shoko to tell you that it’s good that you’d moved on. I started picking up drinking at the age of 17, then smoking at 18. It was hell when you weren’t around, I regret not begging you to stay when we were on call.

I knew I was dying once I was admitted to the hospital unconscious. My parents wanted to know what was wrong with me too, but I couldn’t bear to tell them after all the money they’d invested in me. Shoko visited me, she said that you didn’t know yet, because if you did, you’d go on a serious rampage and might hurt someone. I was in the hospital for two whole weeks before leaving. On the last day though, a bouquet of roses was on my table. No card, nothing was slipped in the bouquet, but I really hoped it was you who sent it.

I got up to my feet again and started working hard, hoping that I could go back to you as soon as possible, but it was too selfish for me to. You have a girlfriend and a happy life, your instagram was full of smiles and laughter, it makes me forget that I wasn’t with you anymore. When I finally posted on my instagram story, with a photo of me with a neck full of medals together with a friend, you messaged me and said ‘good job’ like you always do. To be honest, I hoped that you’d forget about me and never look back, but deep down I hoped that you had never given up on me.

Turning twenty years old and coming back to Japan to finish med school after 2 years of prior study in England, I speak fluent English and tried to appear with more confidence. I got to take glimpses of you when you caught my eye at the shopping mall I loved to go to. The only thing that was different was you were with your girlfriend, laughing. But wasn’t with me.

When Shoko told me you and Himeko broke up and I was almost overjoyed, I hope you won’t drink that much and get drunk because god knows what you’d do. Before I knew it you were at my door, apparently Shoko gave you my new address and there you were, looking as handsome as ever and was so drunk your ears were bright red.

I opened the door and you locked eyes with me, “Hey.” You say, your voice was so much deeper now, you were so much taller too, “Hi, Gojo.” I say back and you furrowed your brows, “Isn’t it Satoru for you?” My heart fluttered, it shouldn’t have been like this but I couldn’t help it, “Satoru, I thought you moved on, what happened.” You just stood there, in front of my door, and I was so glad somehow, “Can you hug me? Please? I know it’s out of line and all but-”

I cut you off with an embrace, “I missed you so much, Satoru.” and you hug me back, “I missed you too.” I bring you into the house, you were really drunk, and you kept rambling about how you were really sad when you broke up with me, “I really didn’t want to, maybe you could’ve had a better future there without me and all, and I really tried to move on, I dated Himeko because of that, but when she figured out that I was using her because I missed you, she broke up with me. I love you so much and I missed you so so much, my love. I might’ve messed up real bad when you moved to England, but I just wanted you to have a better life with someone better. I didn’t know that my heart would ache that much without you around.”

Tears were streaming down your ocean blue eyes, and I felt somewhat responsible for that, “Satoru, listen. I had no choice but to move, my parents spent so much paying for my tuition in England and I couldn’t let them down, I indulged myself in all that studying and extra activities I couldn’t even make time for you, it’s my fault too, I understand that you’d leave me for it. But hey, I never moved on from you, every night I’d think of you, hoping that you’d show up at my door all smiley and tell me that the break up thing was a joke, but you never came. I also hoped that the bouquet of flowers was you when I was in the hospital because I missed you too much but I made it, and I’m back.”

I was crying too, and we just held each other until the sun rose, “That bouquet was me. I’m sorry, I should’ve wrote a card or something.”

When I woke up, you were nowhere to be seen, I was too desperate that I had my real feelings show. The doorbell rang, and when I opened the door, you were there with your soft gaze and a somehow still cocky grin, “Hey. Wanna try again? The dating thing?”

And I mean how could I say no, “Yeah, let’s try again.”

Soon after it was my twenty fifth birthday, we were at your favourite restaurant and ordered your favourite food. You had me wear my best outfit — that blue dress I adore so much, to go to dinner with you. Everything was going smoothly, I was happy, you were happy, we were talking and laughing. The music in the background played joyfully and it made people feel like a stone has been lifted up from their lives.

Suddenly, the music stopped. And I turned around to the pianist that was playing the song. The man smiled at me, then as if on cue, the birthday song started playing.

You sung, “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to my love~. Happy birthday to youuu!”

I was overjoyed, and was ready to throw myself in your embrace and fill your face with kisses. But you knelt down on the floor, opened up your red velvet box, and asked me, “Will you marry me?” I didn’t know what to say, the shock and the embarrassment got to me — not that I mind though. Every moment with you is and will always be precious to my heart. So I helped you up and threw my arms around you, before muttering a soft “yes”. You teased me, telling me to say it again, as embarrassed as I was, I simply couldn’t resist your charms and just let you be.

“Are you ready to be my amazing wife, Mrs. Gojo?” You teased.

“Do I look unprepared?” I laugh, “I’m more than ready to spend my whole life with you, you goofy freak!”

You just laughed at the mention of me calling you a ‘goofy freak’, but added, “You love me though.” and I just said, “Too bad I do.”

And you were right, ‘Love really is the most twisted curse of all.’ But I’d still take the risk to love you over and over again.
