The List:
1. I just don't think your furniture would look good in my apartment.
2. I want a partner who likes long walks and cuddling and giving me kisses and now that I'm saying that I think I'm just describing a dog.
3. I need to spend more time with my pet tarantula and on an unrelated note I never learned how to love.
4. You ate all my cheese sticks and didn't offer to replace them.
5. You know too much about stuffed crust for your own good.
6. I just don't see a future with someone who uses 3-in-1 shampoo.
7. We want different things. For example, I want someone else, and you want me.
8. I have been reborn as a mighty falcon and now I must migrate south for the winter.
9. I'm moving to the forest to start a new family amongst the squirrels.
10. I need to focus on my career in making amateur colored pencil drawings of celebrities from the early 2000s.
11. My closet's not big enough for both of us.
12. The president called and he needs my help with president stuff.

15. My dog doesn't like you.
16. I'm just not ready to share a bathroom with you.

20. I need time to figure out who I am after the loss of my favorite sunglasses.
21. I'm looking to settle down with someone who owns more than two forks.
22. I'm the heir to a throne of a faraway land and I must go save my kingdom from impending evil.
23. My favorite TV characters broke up and I will never believe in love again.
24. I have a rare disease where I can't respond to your texts anymore.
25. I know you're just using me to reach high stuff in your apartment.
26. I really didn't want to have to buy you a Valentine's gift.
Okay. So. Pizza Hut has a bonkers Valentine's Day PR stunt called "goodbye pies" where you can send someone a pizza to break up with them.
Sure. Fine. Capitalists gonna capitalism. Whatever.
BUT!
The website they created for the whole thing has a breakup excuse generator? And some of these things are actually funny.
We want different things. For example, I want someone else, and you want me.
I need to spend more time with my pet tarantula, and on an unrelated note I never learned how to love.
I know you're just using me to reach high stuff in your apartment.
So yeah, if anyone's writing break up stories for Valentine's Day, here are some free prompts?
Please note: the font on that website is horrendous, so I recommend making use of the accessibility features.

Pairing: Pedri Gonzalez x Reader
Summary: After celebrating Women’s Day with your friends, you get a little tipsy and call Pedri for a ride home.
Word count: 1951
Y si me preguntan, diré que Una pelinegra me tiene enviciado Por ella, pongo mi mundo a sus pies Es que ese culo me tiene hoockeado
Pedri was lying on the sofa, watching TV with his brother, when his phone buzzed in his pocket. He took it out and smiled as soon as he saw your name on the screen.
"Hola, guapa!" Pedri said, a smile in his voice. (Hello, beautiful!)
From the other side of the line, he heard you giggle. "Hola, mi amor." Your voice was soft, a little slower than usual, and he could tell right away, you had been drinking. (Hello, my love.)
"¿Estás bien?" He asked. (Are you okay?)
"I drank a little." You admitted.
"Ya lo sé!" he chuckled. "Do you need me to pick you up?" (I can tell!)
"¡Por favor!" (Please!)
"I'm leaving now. Stay where you are, okay?" He heard you agree from the other side and then hung up.
Fer looked at his brother. "She's drunk?"
Pedri stood up and grabbed his sneakers, slipping them on. "Yeah! She went out to dinner with her friends to celebrate Women's Day. I guess they had a few drinks."
He ran upstairs to grab his hoodie before heading back down, where his brother had already claimed his spot on the sofa. Pedri grabbed his car keys, and walked out the door.
Pedri drove through the quiet streets of Barcelona, the city lights flickering past as he made his way to the restaurant where you and your friends had been celebrating. He could already picture you, cheeks flushed from the drinks, eyes shining with happiness, probably giggling over something silly. The thought made him smile.
When he pulled up outside, he spotted you immediately. You were standing near the entrance with a few of your friends, swaying slightly as you laughed at something one of them said. The moment your eyes landed on his car, your entire face lit up.
"Pedro!" You squealed, waving at him as if he hadn't already seen you.
You always called him that in public. Pedri was the name that made heads turn, the name that fans recognized instantly. But Pedro? That was just him, not the football star. While the rest of the world chanted Pedri, you were happy keeping Pedro just for yourself.
Your friends giggled, exchanging amused looks. "She's all yours." One of them teased as he approached them.
"¡Viniste!" You said, hugging him. (You came!)
Pedri chuckled as he hugged you back. "Come on, guapa." He said, opening the car door and helping you inside. He closed the door and looked at your friends. "Do you girls need a ride home?"
"No need! I already called my partner."
Pedri said his goodbyes and walked toward his side. He put the seatbelt around your body and once you were buckled in, you turned to him, eyes shining. "Gracias, mi amor." You murmured, squeezing his hand.
He kissed your knuckles softly. "Did you have fun?"
"Sí!" You said, grinning. "We ate so much, and then we had cocktails because, you know, Women's Day! We deserved it!"
Pedri smiled as he pulled away from the restaurant. "Of course you did, guapa. You're such a lightweight."
You gasped, placing a dramatic hand on your chest. "¿Perdón? I am not a lightweight!" (Excuse me?)
Pedri laughed, shaking his head. "Whatever you say, not-a-lightweight."
A few minutes into the drive, you suddenly gasped.
"Pedri?"
He glanced at you, amused. "¿Qué?" (What?)
"I'm starving."
He laughed. "Didn't you just eat?"
"Yes, but that was hours ago!" You whined. "And alcohol makes me hungry!"
Pedri sighed playfully. "¿Entonces, qué quieres?" (So, what do you want?)
You thought for a moment, then gasped again. "¡Papas fritas!" (Fries!)
He shook his head with a smile. "Alright, drive-thru it is."
"You're the best boyfriend ever, you know that?" You murmured.
Pedri smirked. "I know. But tell me again in the morning."
With a bag of fries in your lap and a milkshake in your hand, you were perfectly content as Pedri pulled into his driveway. But the moment you realized where you were, your happy daze faded, replaced by instant panic.
"Espera… espera, no, Pedri, ¿por qué me trajiste aquí? I can't go in like this!" You whisper-shouted, sitting up straight. (Wait-- wait, no, Pedri, why did you bring me here?)
Pedri parked the car and turned to you, amused. "¿Por qué no? It's not like you're a stranger." (Why not?)
"¡Pero tus padres!" You stressed, eyes wide. "What if they see me like this? They'll think I'm irresponsible! Or a mess! Or--" (But your parents!)
Pedri shook his head, reaching over to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. "Relájate, amor. No están en casa." (Relax, amor. They're not home.)
You blinked. "What?"
"They went back to Tenerife for a week." He explained with a small smile. "It's just me and Fer."
You let out a breath of relief, sinking back into the seat. "Oh, thank god."
Pedri laughed, getting out of the car to help you. "Come on, let's get you inside before you start overthinking again."
You pouted but let him take your hand, letting him guide you up to the house, fries still in your other hand. "I wasn't overthinking…" You mumbled.
Pedri smirked. "Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night."
As Pedri unlocked the front door, you stepped inside and immediately spotted Fer lounging on the sofa, eyes glued to the TV. The second you saw him, a wide grin spread across your face.
"FERRRR!" You squealed, abandoning Pedri as you rushed over to his brother.
Fer barely had time to react before you threw your arms around him, hugging him tightly. He let out a surprised laugh, patting your back. "¡Hey, hey, cálmate!" (Hey, hey, take it easy!)
"You're my favourite brother-in-law." You mumbled against his shoulder.
"I'm the only one you have!" Fer chuckled, glancing at Pedri, who was standing nearby watching you two. "She's really drunk, isn't she?"
"¡Completamente!" Pedri confirmed, tossing his car keys onto the counter. (Completely!)
Fer pulled back, looking down at you with a teasing smile. "You really shouldn't drink."
"Why not?"
"Because you can't handle the alchool."
Pedri leaned down, poking your cheek. "Come on, lightweight, let's go to bed before you start getting affectionate over the pillows too."
You narrowed your eyes at him. "I hate you."
He smirked, grabbing your hand and pulling you up. "No, you don't."
"You're right. You're too pretty to hate." You sighed dramatically. "It's so unfair how handsome you are. I should sue."
"I'd like to see you try." He teases.
Fer groaned. "Okay, that's my cue to go to bed."
Pedri laughed, wrapping an arm around your waist as he guided you toward the stairs.
"Buenas noches, Fer." (Goodnight)
"Buenas noches, lightweight." Fer called after you, making you groan as Pedri led you upstairs.
As soon as you stepped into Pedri's room, you let out a tired sigh and flopped down onto his bed, your body sinking into the familiar softness.
"Your bed is so comfy." You mumbled, stretching like a cat. "Igual que tú." You smirked to him. (Just like you.)
Pedri chuckled, kicking the door shut behind him. "Yeah? Well, you're not sleeping with makeup on, are you?"
With a dramatic sigh, you pushed yourself up, letting Pedri kneel in front of you with a pack of makeup wipes in hand, something you had left behind. He took one out and gently pressed it against your cheek, his touch soft as he wiped away the foundation.
"You take better care of me than I do." You murmured, watching him through sleepy eyes.
"Porque te amo." He continued his slow, careful work, wiping away the mascara and lipstick until your face was fresh and clean. "There! Much better." (Because I love you)
You gave him a sleepy smile. "Gracias, mi amor." (Thank you my love)
"Not done yet." He teased, reaching for the hem of your dress. "Arms up."
You blinked, a teasing smirk playing on your lips. "Pedri…" You drawled, raising an eyebrow.
He rolled his eyes, already knowing where your drunk mind was going. "Guapa, don't start."
You giggled, tilting your head. "You just had to get me out of my dress, huh?"
Pedri let out a laugh, shaking his head. "Yeah, because you can't sleep in that thing. Now, arms up."
Still grinning, you lifted your arms, letting him pull the dress over your head. He tossed it aside and reached for one of his oversized T-shirts, slipping it over you quickly, keeping himself in control and ignoring your nakedness.
"There!" He said, kissing the tip of your nose. "Now you can sleep."
You giggled, snuggling into the shirt that smelled like him. "I love your T-shirts."
"I know." He said smugly, pulling back the covers. "Now get in bed before you start flirting with me again."
You wiggled your eyebrows. "Too late."
Pedri groaned, but the smile on his face gave him away. "Go to sleep, amor." He said softly, pressing a kiss to your forehead.
You sighed happily as you slid under the blankets. "¿Y tú?" (What about you?)
He smiled, brushing a strand of hair from your face. "I'm just going to take a quick shower, then I'll join you."
But before he could move, you grabbed his arm, pulling him closer with a whiny tone. "¡No! No me dejes sola." You protested, your voice slightly slurred. (No! Don't leave me alone.)
Pedri chuckled, amused by how stubborn you could be even when drunk. "It's just a shower, I'll be right back."
You shook your head, tugging him down so your faces were inches apart. "No!" You insisted, your eyes locking with his. "Either I take a shower with you, or you take it in the morning. But I'm not staying here by myself."
He laughed, clearly amused by your determination. "You're impossible, you know that?" He takes off his clothes and lays down next to you. "Go to sleep, amor. I'm right here."
You nodded contentedly, snuggling closer to him. "Te amo." (I love you.)
He kissed the top of your head. "Yo también te amo." He murmured, wrapping his arms around you. (Love you too.)
The soft morning light filtered through the curtains. You stretched lazily, your body still wrapped in the warmth of the blankets and Pedri's arms. His face was buried in your hair, breathing softly. Your head was pouding but you couldn't help feeling content and peaceful, but then you noticed something.
Pedri's phone was buzzing loudly on the nightstand, the alarm going off like a siren. He stirred next to you, groaning in his sleep, but when the alarm went off again, his eyes snapped open.
"¡Mierda!" He muttered, sitting up quickly. (Shit!)
"¿Qué pasa?" (What's wrong?)
He rubbed his face, looking at the time and his phone screen. "I'm late for training!" He scrambled out of bed, running his hand through his hair. You sat up, watching him move around the room, clearly in a rush. "I need to shower really quickly."
You smirked, a grin tugging at your lips. "I can shower with you, make it extra fast."
"No!" He said quickly, shaking his head. "If we shower together, you'll make me even more late."
You pouted, kneeling on the bed. "I won't! I promise."
He looked at you with a pleading expression. "I love you, but I'm not risking being late because you're too distracting."
You raised an eyebrow, still smiling. "Distracting? Me?"
Pedri sighed and grabbed a towel. "Yes! Now, you stay here, and I'll shower fast. I'll make it up to you later, okay?"
Before he could pull away, you leaned in and caught his lips in a soft kiss. He froze for a moment, then smiled against your lips.
"You better, Pedro!"

if you’re still writing for the monster 141, what about a bay hybrid reader, who is just on the edges on going into hibernation because the base is in a colder area/remote snowy location
I’m gonna assume you mean bear?
Cw: bear hybrid!readr, hibernation, binge eating, hoarding, tell me if I missed any.
Winter was creeping closer and closer by each day, your instinctual need to sleep away the cold calling to you louder than the prior days. There was a bone-deep exhaustion that clung to you, the heaviness that cold weather brought to you was a constant and nagging feeling that urged you deeper in the nest you’d built yourself in your dark room. Your curtains drawn, lights often closed and locks installed, you’d spent the weeks preparing, hoarding soft pillows, thick blankets and clothes from people you were familiar with. 
They were surprised when you brought it up, blinking tiredly and occasionally yawning in the afternoon, stumbling between everyone’s rooms with a small plea on the tip of your tongue. You took whatever they were willing to give you: a blanket from Price and Rudolfo, a shirt from König and Gaz, a jacket from Ghost and Horangi, and a pillow from Soap and Alejandro. As long as it smelled like them, a lingering reminder that you weren’t alone in your humid room, their musk grounding and safety. You wouldn’t be alone.
Price had known you were - like most bears - prone to hibernation, taking between one to three month of your year sleeping away the cold, sinking into your mountain of fabric and sleeping off the coldest months. Your time depended on the year, the warmer it was, the less you slept, and the colder it was, the longer you slept. It might’ve been a bother in people’s eyes - humans - but it was instinctual, a primal part of your brain that still clung to your ancestors who strayed from the path of being normal bears. You couldn’t ignore the pull, the call to sleep, it wasn’t possible for a bear like you, and you were fortunate to have such accommodating teammates.
You grew hungrier, your stomach becoming an endless pit, an abyss that kept taking dish after dish, stocking up in fat and calories that you’d burn during your sleep, keeping you sustained and alive without having to wake up. You ate whatever you that was within your reach, the cold bread, the warm milk, the leftover of two days ago or Soap’s surprisingly good cooking, nothing was safe when you were a big and grumpy and hungry bear near hibernation. Ever supportive and helpful, Soap and Alejandro would jump in to cook for you, hooking Gaz and Rudolfo into being their sous-chef whenever they were free. It was the delicious scent of home cooked and warm meals that brought you to the kitchen, if it wasn’t a call for fixing up someone, it was the smell of good food. 
You were ravenous, gulping down the many, many plates the duo - occasionally quartet - placed on the table, their chests puffed up pridefully at your quick eating, you were practically breathing them in. Your constant eating helped you pack some weight, your skin stretched to accommodate your growing amount of fat that would ultimately burn over the months. And when the day came, you were low on energy, grumpy and easy to anger, your patience running paper thin, bidding your goodbyes and see you soon, wrapping your arms around them and teasing them about missing you during your lockdown. 
You’d sleep through the cold winter months and wake up to a warmer and busier time, to a welcoming and excited team that had spent the better half of winter waiting impatiently for the TF’s medic to wake up.

Word count: 3k
Warnings: None that I can remember, some humor, tension , Azriel being a dumb mother hen
previous x next
Tumblr media
Cassian, Azriel, and Rhysand had already left when you came downstairs for breakfast. Nesta grumbled that they hadn't even eaten before spreading their wings to the sky, making everything around them flutter – including the newly planted rose saplings of Elain, to her great displeasure.
Feyre often returned home in hopes that the queens had already responded. The delay was noticeable given how long ago the letter had been sent, and it was a shot in the dark trying to guess what might have happened, though you doubted the letter had gotten lost in transit, and, mind you, you weren't foolish enough to think it was their indecision.
They were making the High Lord wait for pure amusement, and maybe a little bit of sadism. The human queens were in control of the situation, and that made everything even more delicious. A power struggle where, for the first time, the weaker ones were in charge. It must have been painful to even consider discarding this succulent opportunity that had been handed to them on a golden platter—one in a million, truly.
Bringing the steaming cup of tea to your lips, you sipped cautiously to avoid burning yourself; there was no pain worse than burning your tongue – well, maybe stubbing your toe, you mused with a hum. A gust of wind passed through your hair, signaling that someone was passing by in a hurry.
“Don’t run around the house, Elain,” Nesta grumbled from her spot at the table, clearly not a morning person. Your second eldest sister slipped on the floor and turned back to stop by your side, placing one of her delicate hands on your shoulder to alert you of her presence.
Taking a deep breath, Elain spoke breathlessly, “A new batch of letters is arriving today!”
Now, this was interesting. You placed your hand on hers, squeezing her hand on your shoulder, turning your head slightly to show your interest in the topic. Not because of the letters, obviously.
“Why don’t you come with me, sister? We can stop by that little craft shop too,” Elain suggested. She certainly knew how to brighten your day, and even though you were avoiding crowds, especially those zealots who called themselves the enlightened ones – and that made your skin crawl – it was hard to resist the opportunity to get out of the house. God knows this place could be suffocating.
Nesta was irritated with anyone who breathed in her direction, Elain would shudder at the mere mention of meetings and queens, and you missed Merina and her pies. No matter how hard you tried, it was difficult to connect with your sisters as well as with Feyre, who no longer lived a human life filled with nuances like yours.
Taking a deep breath, you pushed yourself off the chair and blindly grabbed your beautiful cane, intending to head for the door alone, but Elain was quicker and grabbed your wrist, guiding you somewhat hurriedly toward the exit without saying goodbye to a very grumpy Nesta.
The morning wind hit your face as you crossed the threshold, and the birds’ song pierced your ears like a sweet melody. However, as beautiful as it was, your brow furrowed at the hurry in your sister's movements. Surely, the letters couldn’t be that interesting, not to Elain, at least. She could barely stand still when the topic was on the table. Ah, the gossip you'd have today, sweet sister.
“Is there anything else you want from the city besides the letters?” Your tone was dismissive, but even the dullest of men would see the curiosity behind the question.
Elain tripped over something on the ground and almost pulled you down with her, making you question who the blind sister really was here.
She cleared her throat and finally slowed her pace. The hesitation was palpable, and the arm linked to yours grew tense as she nervously began fiddling with the sleeve of her dress.
“I... I was thinking about looking at some prettier engagement rings, maybe gold...” It came out like a croak, and that left you a little more confused. There was no doubt that Elain had good taste and could spot something beautiful from afar, so it was strange that she wanted to see new rings when she loved hers so much.
“I thought you were crazy about that one,” the sounds of people talking grew louder, and your nose wrinkled from the variety of smells; sweets, savory foods, pig dung, and, beneath it all, the fresh scent of pine and whiskey filled your lungs with a warm, inviting sensation.
“Steel” and “Feyre” and “shame” were the only words you managed to catch through the intoxicating fog of the delicious perfume you inhaled. But that was enough for no question to leave your lips.
Turning your focus back to the surroundings as your sister and cane guided you through the streets, bodies occasionally brushed past you, nearly knocking you down; shouts proclaiming devotion to the divine; more frantic cries from merchants trying to sell their goods to eat at the end of the day, and other sounds that were impossible to decipher.
As you walked, Elain stopped abruptly in her tracks. Confused, you turned your head to look at her but got no answer. Without saying a word, your sister started walking again, leaving the noise of the city behind. You quickened your steps to keep up with her, the wind certainly making your hair a tangled mess. At least you wouldn’t have to see it.
Elain slid a bit in the mud, and with a squeak, you stopped by her side. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and her lungs struggled to keep up with her breathing. Gods, your sister was trying to kill you just so she wouldn’t have to share the inheritance.
“What in the hell-” you began but didn’t finish. The breeze had risen up your legs, making the hem of your dress flutter and leaving a coolness on your skin, only to disappear faster than it came.
“Azriel?” Azriel? He was the cause of your little sprint? Damn him, what was he doing in such an obvious place?
“Elain,” he greeted your sister, and as he turned to you, he spoke your name in a deep purr, sending a chill down your spine with the tone. You nodded in acknowledgment; your voice no longer belonged to you. “The letter. It’s here.”
Ah, he knew. He already knew the queens' letter had arrived today. How? You didn’t know.
“We were going to see it now,” Elain’s voice was syrupy, soft and sweet, almost like she didn’t know how to speak anymore.
A hum left Azriel’s throat. His trained eyes watched your shy form beside Elain, the corners of his lips tugged upwards but quickly disappeared as he turned his attention back to the eldest Archeron sister.
“Could you fetch it for me, Elain?” Azriel asked gently, and your sister nodded quickly, like a soldier. Not letting go of your hand, she motioned for you to go with her to fetch the letter. “Only you, please.”
Your feet stayed firmly planted, and now the air felt thin. Whatever the Shadowsinger had to say to you was making your nerves bubble.
Elain muttered in discomfort, clearly not wanting to leave you alone with someone she barely knew. Her hand squeezed yours lightly, and you pulled your hand free from her grip, distancing yourself from your sister. With your body facing the man, you encouraged Elain to go. He certainly wouldn’t kill you.
Still, your treacherous mind whispered.
With lips set in a line, Elain quickly made her way to her destination, disappearing into the crowd. The faster she went, the faster she’d be back.
Without your sister nearby, the silence was deafening and uncomfortable, and despite your brief interaction with Azriel, you still found the way his presence surrounded you intimidating.
“Do you have something to say? Or did you just make me stay here for your company?” The words came out sharper than you intended, and perhaps challenging such a powerful fae like him in broad daylight wasn’t the best idea. Shifting your weight, you crossed your arms like a shield. Not that you expected it to stop him.
Your ears perked up when you heard a rough chuckle leave Azriel. His lips pressed together; it wasn’t the response you were expecting.
“I didn’t,” he paused and licked his lips, thinking carefully about his next words. “But I feel like I do now.”
Ah, so much for being mysterious. If this non-human man wanted to make you squirm with anxiety, he was succeeding beautifully.
“And…” your voice carried impatience.
“And I don’t think you should be part of the meeting with the queens.”
Your mind stopped. It felt completely empty, focused only on trying to process Azriel’s words. Letting your arms fall to your sides, you lifted your chin, hoping you were looking at his face as you spoke. “Why? Is there a reason for this?
Simple and shyer than you intended.
Azriel was no longer amused. His face darkened into a scowl as he studied you from your structure to your features – sculpted nose, mouth pulled down, and then, eyes. His eyes were windows to his soul, so sweet that, even if not fully functional, could bring legions to their knees.
And that was the problem.
“The queens aren’t trustworthy, and I don’t want you to be a target. They’re bitter and vile with people…” His words rushed out, his wings tightening behind him, letting the weight of what he had to say burn his tongue. “...weaker ones.”
You bit your cheek until you tasted the faint copper of your blood. Indignation wasn’t the right word to describe what you were feeling, but the disbelief on your flushed face certainly expressed it.
Fragile. The Illyrian who barely knew you for more than a week was insulting you so openly, without a shred of shame. You might not see things like other people, but this made you grow a pair of balls like nothing else, and it wasn’t this male who was going to put you down now.
With clenched fists, you took a step toward him, closing the distance to a breath’s length. The smell of whiskey that had been so enticing returned, but now that you knew who it belonged to, it didn’t seem so intoxicating. Or maybe it was, a little, your mind whispered.
“I don’t think I gave you any right to make assumptions about me, fairy.” You spat the words, especially the scornful nickname you secretly used for him and his brothers.
Azriel growled low, and ah, it wasn’t because of your words.
The rustling of leaves made you step back from the winged male, and quickly, his features softened. Elain stopped next to you, breathless, handing the letter to Azriel, as if it were burning her.
“Here, it arrived last night,” she said before taking your arm and walking away as quickly as possible.
“Thank you,” Azriel acknowledged with a nod. Elain smiled tightly, already guiding you away. His voice came again, but this time as a warning, making your shoulders tense. “Don’t forget what I said.” And then he was gone, swallowed by his shadows as if he had never been there.
Elain furrowed her brow and turned to you, questioning what Azriel had meant.
“Nothing, he didn’t say anything.” Nothing you cared about, at least.
Tumblr media
“Hold your breath,” Nesta reprimanded you, her fingers pulling tighter on your corset strings, her delicate fingers and the crushing leather threatening to break your ribs.
“Tighten it any more, and watch me turn purple on this floor, sister.” You gasped out the words with difficulty. Nesta clearly wanted to kill you. You knew she was against you exposing yourself at the meeting, but you never thought she'd deliberately try to kill you.
“Stop whining, it's ready.” Nesta grumbled, and then her presence pulled away from you, her footsteps echoing as she walked to the vanity in front of you. Your head tilted to the side at the sound of objects clinking. She was making a mess, no doubt.
Nesta's heat returned as she stopped in front of you. Her warm hand held your chin firmly but gently, and the bristles of a brush tickled your lips. It was soft, sticky, with a faint scent of roses. Lipstick.
Nesta was dressing you up like a doll. Your chest warmed at the feeling. Having your sister care for and pamper you like this was a delight. It was fleeting, but so appreciated when it happened.
Pulling the brush from your lips, Nesta glanced at you. Long, trembling lashes, cheeks rosy with powder, angelic features. You were beautiful. A slight tug appeared on her lips, satisfied with her work.
“If you keep staring at me, I’m going to start thinking you like me.” Your playful voice earned an eye roll from Nesta, who, with a huff, stepped away from you, already missing the warmth of her presence.
"Don't be fooled," Nesta retorted playfully, you expected it to be a joke as she took your arm in hers and began guiding you out of your room and into the living room. The shrill creak of the door alerted you that you were passing through the main hall, just a few steps away from the comfortable armchairs that Elain had arranged for you. "Sit down, they should be arriving soon."
Groping for the armchair, you slowly lowered yourself until you were seated. Your sister settled beside you, and barely half a second later, a knock echoed on the door. Nesta took a deep breath beside you, and abruptly stood up, walking toward the door. As much for a brief break, a laugh escaped you. Hopefully, she wouldn't hear it.
The sound of what seemed like a crowd of footsteps approached where you were, low, nervous murmurs could be heard, and a melodic voice, different from those you already knew, made your eyebrow raise in curiosity.
"Sister, you look beautiful," Feyre greeted you warmly, her hands on your shoulder for a hug. A little awkwardly, you stood to hug her better. Nestling your face into her neck, you squeezed her tighter. It felt like you hadn't seen her in a decade. The sound of someone clearing their throat made your sister pull away from the hug, to your disappointment. "Sorry. Mor, this is my younger sister."
Mor? Another fae? You turned to where you thought she was. Mor smiled and approached, taking your hand in hers. Her sudden action made you jump slightly.
"It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Feyre has told me so much about you." Her voice was gentle, her shoulders relaxed, and you let yourself return her smile. She seemed like a woman with a strong spirit. Perhaps Nesta could find a friend in her.
"I'm happy to meet another one of my sister’s friends." You greeted her properly with a nod.
"That's enough, Mor. You're suffocating her." A cold shiver ran down your spine when Azriel's rough voice reached you. The memory of your last encounter still vivid in your mind. Your face twisted into a grimace. Mor huffed and pulled away, muttering about how Azriel was a joy-killer. You could agree with that.
Feyre, beside you, looked at the two of you with suspicion. Since you entered, Azriel hadn't taken his eyes off you, following every movement like a hawk. Your reaction to him only seemed to intrigue her more. With a kiss on your forehead, she guided you to sit again.
It seemed everyone was settling into their places, Elain arriving elegantly late and sitting to your right, Nesta a little farther to your left. You couldn’t tell exactly where everyone else was, but someone was behind you. You could feel the warmth of their presence.
"Stubborn artisan." Damn fae.
Azriel teased you with the nickname. If you could give him nicknames, why not? He took a step closer, leaning against your chair, ignoring the sharp look you shot at him. He bent down slightly, just enough for you to hear, his velvety tone making your hairs stand on end.
"You seemed more inclined to listen that night." Your face heated with the memory. With a small grin, Azriel stood up and turned his gaze away, completely satisfied with himself.
Before you could think of a witty retort, a loud bang echoed through the house, making everyone tense. They’ve arrived. The human queens were finally here. It was time to begin the meeting that would put everything at stake.

Tumblr media
It’s a beautiful, crisp spring morning. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and the wind carries the lovely scent of freshly baked pies. I sigh at the prospect of leaving this peaceful place and trading it for the Autumn Court.
As I push the heavy oak doors of the River House open, I can feel anxiety coursing through my veins. After fleeing Autumn seventy-three years ago, I didn’t expect to return there so soon, even if only temporarily. It was difficult for me to leave. I couldn’t risk telling anyone about my plans, so I never had the chance to say goodbye.
Knowing my father, he had probably been more concerned about how me leaving would affect his standing with the High Lord and the other noble families. But my mother and sister… I would give a lot to see them again.
All those years, I have missed the familiarity of my home court, the traditions, and the celebrations I cherished so much as a child.
I take a deep breath, trying to steady myself as I step into the foyer. Rhysand, Amren, Azriel, and Lucien are already there, waiting for me.
Except for Lucien and me, who are wearing traditional Autumn Court attire, everyone else is dressed in midnight black.
Lucien looks up as I enter, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips. “You look… convincing,” he says.
I let out a breathy laugh at that. The last time he saw me in Autumn colors was at a ball my family hosted, which ended with me puking my guts out, most of it landing on Lucien’s shoes.
Judging by the face he is making, he hasn’t forgotten either.
Azriel, standing beside him, nods in agreement. “It suits you,” he says quietly, his gaze lingering on me for a moment longer than necessary.
His shadows peek over his shoulder as if they want to take a look too.
I try to ignore the flutter of emotions his words stir within me. Instead, I focus on the mission ahead, on the role I must play. The safety of Prythian depends on our success, and I can’t afford to let myself get distracted.
Rhysand steps forward, a mischievous smile on his face. “I have to say, you both pull off Autumn Court fashion far better than I expected. Maybe we should visit the Autumn Court more often.”
Amren, her eyes assessing our disguises, retorts, “If you spent as much time on strategy as you do on fashion critiques, we’d have won the war by now.”
I have to cover my mouth to not laugh out loud and accidentally anger the century-old creature that’s lurking beneath that Fae body.
Rhys just rolls his eyes, clearly undeterred by her sharp tone. “I’ll have you know that looking good is part of the strategy.”
With one last look at me, he stretches out his hand and asks, “Ready?”
I nod, take his hand, and let him winnow me away.
———————————————————
Arriving at the southern border of the Autumn Court, I am immediately struck by the beauty of the landscape. The trees here are taller than I remember, their leaves a riot of red, orange, and gold, perpetually caught in the peak of autumn. The air carries the earthy scent of fallen leaves and the smoke of distant fires burning in hearths.
As we step onto the moss-covered ground, bittersweet memories flood my mind. I find myself thinking of the simpler days of my youth, the carefree ones.
I feel dark talons gently scraping at the shields in my mind and lwt Rhys in. So lost in the beautiful nature, I barely realize him wishing us good luck and winnowing back to Velaris.
Right after Rhys leaves, Azriel begins to scout the area for any magical traps or shields set by Koschei, leaving us to wait for his return. As the minutes stretch into an hour, my anxiety starts to build.
I pace restlessly, my mind conjuring all sorts of terrible scenarios.
Lucien tries to reassure me, placing a hand on my shoulder.
“He’ll be fine,” Lucien says softly. “Azriel knows what he’s doing.”
But his words do little to calm me.
“How can you be so sure? He could be injured… or worse. We don’t know what Koschei is capable of!” I snap.
I begin to ramble, listing every possible way Azriel could have gotten hurt. “What if he’s caught in a trap? What if there’s a magical barrier he can’t break?”
Just thinking about him being in trouble makes me want to vomit. “That’s it. He’s taken long enough. I’m going to find him and—”
Amren steps in, her voice cutting through my panic. “Enough. Get your shit together. We don’t have time for this.”
Her bluntness shocks me into silence, and I sulk, feeling chastised.
But Amren isn’t finished. “Oh, quit acting like a child. Maybe if you told him about your feelings and the mating bond, you wouldn’t be so anxious, girl.”
My mouth drops open and I look to Lucien, his face also morphed into shock. When I look back to Amren, she just lifts an eyebrow.
“How do you know about the bond?”
Amren lets out a long sigh. “Only someone stupid wouldn’t have picked up on that. And Azriel being the stupidest of all.”
She rolls her eyes and starts picking at her nails. “We all suspected it. For a while we thought it snapped for Azriel too. The way he followed you around like a love sick fool, we were sure of it. But I guess it didn’t.”
I don’t say anything else after that, my mind not coming up with a response.
——————————————————
Another hour passes, and my worry only deepens. I can’t stop imagining Azriel injured or trapped, his shadows unable to find a way back to us. Every rustle of the leaves makes me jump, hoping it’s him returning.
Lucien tries to keep me distracted, but my thoughts are a whirl of dread. He tells me stories of his own missions, but I can’t focus on his words. My mind is entirely on Azriel.
Finally, just as the sun reaches its peak, Azriel returns. He looks slightly worse for wear, his clothes torn in some places and his face smeared with dirt, but otherwise unharmed. He notices the tension immediately, his eyes narrowing in concern.
“What happened?” Azriel asks, looking between us.
I step toward him, my relief overwhelming. “Are you okay? What took you so long?”
Azriel nods, his expression serious. “There were more traps than I anticipated. It took a while to disable them all, but the path should be clear now.”
Amren crosses her arms. “Good. We don’t have time for any more delays.”
Lucien places a hand on my shoulder again, this time with a reassuring squeeze. “See? I told you he’d be fine.”
I manage a weak smile, still shaken by the fear that gripped me. Azriel’s eyes soften as he looks at me.
“We should move quickly,” Azriel says, breaking the moment. “It won’t be long till they notice that their shields and traps were destroyed. Amren and I will accompany you to the Forrest House, then we’ll separate and follow the original plan. It’s too dangerous otherwise. We can’t risk you.”
Lucien nods and gestures for me to go first. “Let’s get moving then. The sooner we’re done here, the better.”
We begin to move deeper into the forest, leading to Beron’s residence. The beauty of the surroundings contrasts sharply with the danger I know lurks nearby.
As we walk, I steal glances at Azriel, wondering how he can be so calm and collected all the time.
Gods, I nearly lost my mind over him doing his job. I am a hypocrite for snapping at him the other day. Yes, I am mad at him for courting Elain, but I also can’t expect him to be loyal to me when he doesn’t even know that we’re mates.
How different things would be if it had just snapped for him the second it did for me...
It happened three years ago. Unbeknownst to us, we were just celebrating the last winter solstice without Rhys when it snapped into place.
One moment I was admiring him from afar, the next I was connected to him for the rest of my immortal life.
He had still been in love with Mor back then, so I chose not to say anything. A huge mistake, because soon after, Elain came into the picture.
Truthfully, I never thought they were anything more than friends until I overheard Rhysand ordering Azriel to stay away from her. It wasn’t until then that I realized I had lost him forever. He wasn’t going to stay away from her, so I accepted my fate and kept silent.
———————————————————
After five hours of hiking through bushes, stepping in rabbit holes, and nearly getting killed by a boar, I can feel the exhaustion creeping into my bones.
“Can we please take a break? My legs are going to fall off,” I ask.
Amren smirks, not breaking her stride. “And here I thought you were tougher than this.”
Only Rhysand’s plea to behave and work together holds me back from strangling her. Gods, she really is a cranky hag.
Lucien chuckles softly and turns to me. “We’re only a few minutes away. Hang in there.”
I groan but press on. As we finally crest a hill, the sight of Beron’s castle comes into view, exactly as I remembered it. The imposing structure looms against the deep orange sky, its dark stone walls lined with creeping ivy. Tall, narrow windows glint in the dawning light.
“It’s just like I remember,” I whisper, a mixture of awe and dread washing over me.
Lucien glances at me, his expression unreadable. “Let’s get ready. We need to find a way to get in there.” He points to the entrance of the castle, where nobles are lined up to enter the masquerade ball hosted by the High Lord himself.
We slip through the dense forest that surrounds the castle, our movements silent and precise. Azriel scouts ahead, his shadows cloaking him in near invisibility. After what feels like an eternity, we find a secluded spot to prepare for our infiltration.
“Here,” Amren hands both Lucien and me a stack of clothes. “These are your disguises. You will pose as Lord and Lady Hawthorn. The late Lord Hawthorn died three months ago. You are recently married with no offspring or heir yet. This is your first outing as Lord and Lady. Some might recognize your name, though they should not look twice your way. Be discreet and don’t draw attention.”
“What about the real Lord and Lady Hawthorn? What if they decide to turn up and out us as imposters?” I ask.
Azriel shifts on his feet and answers a bit sheepishly, “Don’t worry, they have already been dealt with.”
My brows furrow in confusion. “What do you—” realization dawns over me. “Oh… oh, okay. I guess that makes this a lot easier.”
I grab the clothes Amren gave me and head for the nearest bush to change. When I look back, Azriel has his head tilted sideways and smiles at me.
The dress I change into is a deep burgundy, adorned with delicate golden embroidery.
The fabric is soft and luxurious and fits me like a second skin. The mask is made of similar fabric, with intricate golden lace around the edge of it.
As I step out from behind the bush, my eyes find Azriel’s immediately.
His eyes, usually so guarded, widen slightly as they take in my appearance, his gaze lingering on the details of my dress and the way it clings to my form.
“You look… stunning,” he murmurs, his voice low and sincere.
I feel a blush rise to my cheeks and look away, focusing on Lucien. Lucien is similarly attired, his outfit complementing mine with its dark tones and subtle elegance.
He grins at me. “Shall we, Lady Hawthorn?”
I bark out a laugh. “We shall, Lord Hawthorn.”
———————————————————
Getting inside the Forrest House was easier than expected. We just walked right up to the entrance, stated our names, handed them our fake invites, and were ushered in.
As we step into the grand ballroom, the sheer opulence of the scene takes my breath away.
Crystal chandeliers hang from the high ceilings, casting a warm glow over the sea of elegantly dressed nobles. Musicians play softly in one corner, their melodies mingling with the murmur of conversation and the clinking of glasses.
At the far end of the room, atop a raised dais, sits Beron, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd. To his right stands Eris. Our eyes meet briefly, and I give a subtle nod, which he returns.
Lucien and I mingle with the guests, keeping our eyes and ears open, waiting for Eris to give us our signal.
As Beron rises from his throne, a hush falls over the grand ballroom. The guests turn their attention to him. He begins to address the crowd, his voice echoing through the vast space.
“Welcome, esteemed guests, to this celebration of our enduring legacy and power,” Beron proclaims, his tone laced with self-satisfaction.
Just as he is about to continue, the heavy doors of the ballroom burst open. A squadron of Eris’s soldiers rushes in, their armor clanking loudly. The crowd parts like a tide, murmurs of confusion and fear rippling through the room.
Beron’s confident façade falters, replaced by one of anger and panic. “What is the meaning of this?” he demands, his voice rising in pitch as he glares at the soldiers.
Eris steps forward, his demeanor calm and resolute. “Father,” he begins, his voice carrying a chilling edge, “it is time. Your reign has been marked by tyranny and cruelty, and I will no longer stand by and watch my people suffer under your rule.”
Beron’s eyes narrow, a sneer curling his lips. “You think you can overthrow me, Eris? It takes more than a few soldiers to claim this throne.”
Eris begins to smile. “Oh, I know. A noble to swear me in and an heir to secure the lineage, right? Well, here they are.” He gestures to Lucien and me.
My eyes widen as I whisper-shout in Lucien’s ear, “He cannot be serious? THIS is his plan?!”
Lucien replies, equally as quiet. “I have learned a long time ago not to question my brother’s way of handling things.”
“You are truly deluded, Eris.” Beron laughs, a harsh, mocking sound. “They won’t accept a random noble as your heir.”
Eris stands his ground, his gaze unwavering. “But they will. Take off your masks,” he says to Lucien and me.
And so we do. Nobles everywhere are gawking at us. Some eyes fixed on me, most on Lucien.
Beron steps down from the dais. “What a surprise. The lost son finally returns home.” He turns his gaze to me. “And you, you’re Lord Yarrow’s daughter, no?”
I don’t answer. Even if I wanted to, I don’t think I could. I’m rooted in place, not taking my eyes off Beron.
Beron turns to Eris again. “Well, it seems you really are full of surprises. But you’re forgetting one important thing. You would have to kilI me to claim the throne. And you’ve always been weak, Eris. You’re not strong enough, but you shall try.”
In that moment, I realize what Eris was doing. He was provoking his father into accepting his challenge, and Beron just did exactly that.
“I’ve had a long time to prepare.”
And with that, all hell breaks loose.
———————————————————
Chaos erupts as Beron and Eris clash, their swords flashing in the bright light of the ballroom. Beron's strikes are powerful, but Eris is swift and precise, his fire magic flaring up with every swing.
Lucien and I are quickly surrounded by Beron's soldiers. The nobles' screams fill the air as they flee the room in terror. I manage to grab a blade as the first soldier aims right for my neck.
My heart races as I parry another soldier's blow, my muscles straining with each clash of steel. Lucien fights beside me, his own fire magic scorching the air around us, incinerating our enemies with fiery blasts.
The ballroom is a whirlwind of chaos.
As we cut through the soldiers, our eyes are locked on the fight between Eris and Beron. We try to reach them, but more and more of Beron’s soldiers are streaming in.
Eris and his father fight with brutal intensity, their swords ringing out as they meet. Eris dodges and strikes with a precision that keeps Beron on his toes, but his experience gives him the upper hand, forcing Eris back step by step.
Just as Lucien and I are within seconds of reaching Eris and Beron, the ballroom doors burst open again. Five of Koschei's soldiers, dark magic radiating from them, storm in. They immediately begin slaughtering nobles, women, and children alike. Their dark magic tears through Eris's soldiers as if they were paper.
Lucien and I have no choice but to turn away from Eris and Beron and face Koschei’s magic wielders.
I take several hits to the gut, and a sword slices across my cheek, but I fight on, managing to take down one of the dark soldiers. Lucien, with his fire magic, kills two more, but before the third soldier is turned into ash, he drives a sword straight through Lucien’s chest.
Lucien collapses to his knees, blood pouring from the wound. I rush to his side, my heart pounding in my chest. Lucien's eyes flutter, and he tries to speak, but I stop him. "Save your energy," I beg.
He begins to close his eyes, the loss of blood making him weaker and weaker. "Lucien, stay with me!" I cry, trying to stem the flow of blood with my hands.
I have to get him to a healer fast; otherwise, he will bleed out. So I do the only thing I can think of.
Desperate, I tug on the bond with Azriel, praying that he will sense my distress.
A moment later, Azriel bursts into the room, Amren in tow. Azriel’s eyes widen with panic as he spots me and Lucien. He rushes to us, dropping to his knees beside Lucien.
"Azriel, you have to winnow him back to Velaris," I plead. "Find Madja , now!"
Azriel looks torn. "I can't leave you," he says, his voice tight with fear. “I— not like this. Not with you being my—”
"Amren is here, I’ll be fine," I insist, glancing at Amren, who is finishing off the last two of Koschei’s soldiers. "Please, Azriel! I can’t watch him die. I am begging you, just go, please!"
Azriel nods reluctantly, wrapping his arms around Lucien. With a final, desperate look at me, he winnows away, leaving me behind in the chaos.
With Azriel and Lucien gone, I feel a pang of anxiety, but I have no time to dwell on it. I turn back to the fight, watching as Eris and the High Lord continue their deadly duel.
Around me, the battle rages on. I join Amren, who is ruthlessly dispatching the remaining dark soldiers with a ferocity that belies her small stature.
Together, we fight our way through the chaos, our movements synchronized from years of fighting side by side.
We are fighting for what feels like hours. My arms ache from dealing blow after blow, and my eyes are getting blurry from the lack of sleep.
I steal a glance at Eris and Beron, watching as they exchange hits. Eris manages to land a few blows, but Beron shrugs them off.
The two of them are evenly matched, but the High Lord’s power coursing through Beron's veins gives him a slight edge.
Suddenly, Beron lunges forward, his sword aimed at Eris's heart. Eris barely manages to block the strike, their blades locking together. Fire erupts between them, and for a moment, it looks like Eris might be overpowered.
But Eris digs deep, summoning a burst of strength. He pushes Beron back, their swords disengaging with a loud clang. Eris's flames burn brighter, and he steps forward, pressing the attack.
The next moment, everything is quiet. No swords clashing, no screaming, just utter quiet.
As the flames subside, there, in the middle of the ballroom, not moving, is Beron.
The High Lord of the Autumn Court is dead.

It’s been one year since we had to say goodbye to Scamp, and I still miss him every day. I remember some people saying now he was at his “fishpond in the sky” which always stuck with me. So in honor of Scamp, here is a peaceful clip of him at his favorite place (other than a table full of pies).

Heart beating out of your chest, you reached towards your phone. A number you didn’t recognize looked back at you. It bared the 313-area code. Holding your breath you answered the phone with a soft "Hello?"
“Hello, is this Y/N?”
“Yes, this is she,” you said, pinching your phone between your shoulder and ear. If this was the call you’d been hoping for, you wanted to be ready to head out the door immediately. 
“Hi! Yes, you visited us the other day. I understand you were interested in Stan-“
“Yes, that’s correct!”
The voice on the other end chuckled at your enthusiasm. “Wonderful! His new home did not work out and he is back with us. He wanted me to ask if would you be interested in adopting him?” 
A huge smile crossed your face. “We would love to.”
“Amazing! We are able to place him on hold here for three days. Do you have a minute to schedule a time to come in for paperwork?”
“Yes!” Taking a hold of your phone, you put the call on speaker and opened your calendar. Thank god, you weren’t scheduled to go into work today. “Actually, if it’s alright, I could come in in about forty-five minutes from now.”
“Sure, let me check our openings for today.” Trying your best to be patient, you began to fidget. “Oh, looks like we are rather booked today. Would you be able to come in at 4:30?”
“Absolutely” Oh my god, how would you tell Marshall.
“Great! If you decide to take Stan home today. We will send him home with his medical records, a collar and leash. He currently is eating Iams chicken and rice dry dog food. We recommend sticking to the food the dogs are used to. Switching to another brand may cause an upset stomach. I have had the pleasure of spending some time with Stan while he has been with us. Personally, I recommend picking up some squeaky toys for him. Those tend to not last long here, but when he was able to play with one, he loved it.”
“Sounds like I have a bit of shopping to do!” You switched over to your notes app and began to make a list.
“Oh, my he will love to be spoiled. Well, Y/N, if there is anything we can help you with in the meantime feel free to call us back. Unless we hear otherwise, we will plan to see you at 4:30!”
“Thank you so much. See you then!”
“Alrighty, have a good day.”
“Thanks, you too! Goodbye.”
“Bye.”
Hanging up the phone, you couldn’t hold in the excitement anymore. You did a little happy dance. Suddenly, the weight of what just happened hit you. You agreed to adopt a dog. Not just any dog, though—it was Stan. Should you have called Marshall first? What if his feelings about Stan had changed?
Frantically you pulled up his contact. He didn’t always answer when at the studio though. The phone rang and rang before going to voicemail: “The person you called has a voice mailbox that has not been set up yet. Please try again later. Goodbye.”
You sighed, typing out a quick message asking him to call when he had a moment, then set to work preparing the house. Even if Marshall wasn’t on board, the worst-case scenario would be a cleaner home. Vacuuming, organizing, and rearranging, you spent the morning in a productive frenzy.
 Treating yourself to some tea and a rest. You picked up your phone to a text from Paul. 
Tumblr media
That’s all you needed to hear. You were going to bring Stan home today. Marshall would get home around 5:20. With some luck, and little traffic you could make it back before him. 
After stashing away some of Marshall’s loose cassettes scattered on the floor, you grabbed your keys and checked your shopping list one more time. 
Iams chicken and rice dry dog food
Bowls
Leash
Collar
Squeaky toy
Peanut butter/treats
Dog bed
Dog brush
Poop bags
Travel crate
Lots of toys
---
Your car’s backseat was soon filled with bags. You hadn’t enjoyed shopping this much in ages, and the deals you found weren’t bad either. The pièce de résistance, however, was a dog-sized hoodie that would match Marshall’s favorite.
The clock on your dash read 3:04. You would have just enough time to grab some lunch, set up Stan’s new things at home, and make it to the dog shelter before your appointment.
Excitement radiated through you as you pulled into the driveway, gravel crunched under the tires. Lugging the bags inside, you transformed your home for its newest resident. First, the food and water bowls found a spot in the kitchen, tucked away in a corner to avoid spills. You arranged the plush dog bed in the living room near the couch, where you knew Stan would want to be close to you but more so Marshall. Surely, the bed would be moved to Marshall's office on days he worked from home. The squeaky toys were arranged in a basket by the TV stand, though you chuckled, imagining the chaos when Stan—or Marshall—dumped them all out.
By 3:45, everything was ready. You sat the hoodie by the door alongside a hat, a subtle hint for Marshall if you didn’t make it home first. A quick glance in the mirror and a face wash later, you were back in the car, heart pounding with anticipation. 
The shelter was calmer than you remembered, a stark contrast to the excited storm brewing inside you. The same cheerful volunteer from before greeted you with a wide smile. “Hi, Y/N! Right on time. Are you ready to take Stan home?”
“More than ready,” you replied, practically bouncing on your toes.
The adoption paperwork was straightforward, though it felt like it took forever. You could hardly focus as the volunteer walked you through the forms, nodding eagerly at all the right moments. Your fingers drummed against the office chair you sat in. Finally, with a flourish, you signed your name at the bottom. Clicking the pen closed, your phone rang. It was Marshall. Shit, he should still be at the studio. Did he go home early? Excusing yourself, you stepped outside to answer.
“Hey, Love.” You tried to steady your voice, shaky with excitement. 
“Yo. I am starving. We are wrapping up a bit early today. Thoughts on pizza from that place across town?” 
Mentally, you calculated what time this would get him home. “Sounds great. What time do you think you’ll make it back?” You tried so hard not to sound suspicious. 
“uhh. maybe forty-five minutes to an hour. Also, I might get us a little surprise.”
Giggling at his normal nonsense, “Okay, drive safe.”
“Nah.” His voice changing to the higher pitched tone he uses with babies, dogs, and apparently you, “I Wuv You!”
“I love you too, Marshall. Bye bye.” Holding your phone to your chest, the sparkle in your eyes brightened. This was going to work out perfectly. 
Re-entering the room, the volunteered looked up at you. “Are you ready for Stan? I know he has been very eager to see you again.”
You slid back into the office chair, “Absolutely!”
“Great! I’ll go get him for you,” the volunteer said, taking the papers and disappearing down the hall.
A few minutes later, the sound of claws clicking in the hallway tile announced his arrival. Stan bounded into the room; tail wagging so hard it looked like it might propel him into the air. The volunteer handed you the leash, and Stan immediately began sniffing every inch of your shoes, pants, and hands. His feet danced with excitement, as his backend wiggled back and forth.
“Hey, buddy,” you cooed, kneeling to meet him. His warm, wet nose nuzzled your cheek, and your heart melted all over again.
As the volunteer handed you Stan’s file, she lingered for a moment, her expression softening. “Before you take him home, I thought you might want to know a little more about Stan’s story.”
You nodded eagerly, rubbing Stan’s ears while he looked up at you with his big, trusting eyes.
“Stan’s past is a bit of a mystery,” she began. “He was found in the winter wandering in a park downtown. A kind gentleman saw him there a few days in a row—no collar, no tags, and looking severely underfed. He brought him to us, and we scanned Stan for a microchip, but there wasn’t one. He either escaped and was never found or, more likely, lifted by his previous owners.”
Your heart ached at the thought of him all alone, cold, scavenging for food and waiting for someone who never came. You gave him an extra scratch behind his ears, and his tail thumped against your leg.
“We estimate he’s about two years old, based on his teeth and overall health. He was pretty scared when he first came in. A lot of dogs are, especially if they haven’t been around people much, but Stan warmed up quickly. He’s incredibly sweet and loves attention���honestly probably because he didn’t get much of it before. It’s clear someone trained him a little; he mostly knows basic commands like sit and stay, and he’s decently house-trained. So, whoever had him before must have cared at least a little.”
“Poor guy,” you murmured, looking into Stan’s soulful eyes. “But he’s okay now?”
The volunteer nodded. “He is. He’s been with us for a while. At first, he was overlooked—mutts often are, unfortunately—but then, as you know, a young couple fell in love with him. They were so excited to take him home.”
You frowned, glancing down at Stan. “If you don’t mind me asking, why didn’t it work out?”
The volunteer smiled softly. “I view it as a happy ending. They were a nice couple, but shortly after they brought him home, they found out they’re expecting their first child. They were understandably overwhelmed and felt it wouldn’t be fair to Stan to bring him into such a big transition. They brought him back, and it was clear they were heartbroken about it.”
You stroked Stan’s head as he leaned into your touch, a pang of sadness mingling with your happiness. “That’s rough. For them and for him.”
“It is,” the volunteer agreed. “But we’re so glad he found you. From what we’ve seen, Stan’s a resilient guy. He just loves being loved.”
“Well, he’s going to get plenty of that with us,” you promised, your voice firm, and hands cupping Stan's sweet face.
The volunteer beamed. “I can tell you’re going to be a great match. Just take things slow and let him settle in at his own pace. If you ever need help or advice, don’t hesitate to reach out.”
“Thank you for taking care of him,” you said, feeling the leash between your fingers and looking at Stan. “You’re coming home, buddy.”
--
Marshall’s car pulled into the garage, the sound of the engine humming to a stop. Inside the house, Stan was dressed for the big moment: the dog-sized hoodie you’d picked out earlier fit him perfectly. To top it off, your old baseball cap perched precariously on Stan’s head, just enough to make the sight of him even more heart-meltingly adorable, and dare you say a little shady.
You crouched by Stan’s side, giving his ear a gentle scratch. “Okay, buddy,” you whispered, your voice a mix of nerves and excitement. “This is it. You ready?”  
Stan looked at you as if he knew something big was about to happen. You had been preparing for this moment all afternoon, and now it was finally here. Stan sat obediently by the door, his tail wagging furiously but butt staying in place, just like you’d practiced.
The sound of the car door closing snapped you into motion. Reminding Stan to "Stay," you hurried outside, stepping into the garage just as Marshall was heading toward the trunk to grab the food.  
“Hey,” you called out, your tone calm and casual—too casual, given the excitement buzzing under your skin.  
Marshall turned to you, smiling but raising an eyebrow. “Hey pretty lady… what are you doing out here? It’s cold.”  
“I thought I’d greet you,” you said with a shrug, stepping closer. “But, uh… don’t worry about carrying anything in. I’ve got it all under control.” 
Marshall paused, his eyes narrowing playfully. “The fuck?... Woman, what are you hiding?”  
“Nothing!” you said a little too quickly, your voice going up an octave. “Just trust me, okay?”  
Marshall chuckled, leaning against the car. “Well now I’m not sure if I should.”  
“Pleaseee, Marshall,” you grabbed the food, stepping back toward the house and motioning for him to follow. “Come inside.”  
Marshall shook his head and chuckled, as he followed you. “You’re being fucking weird, but okay.”
The moment he opened the door, Stan perked up from his spot, his entire body quivering with excitement. For a split second, Marshall froze, his eyes widening as they landed on Stan.
As Stan bolted towards Marshall, the baseball cap slipped off his square head. The dog bounded into Marshall’s arms, his tail wagging furiously.
Catching Stan in a tight hug, Marshall lowered themselves to his knees. 
You leaned against the doorframe, grinning as you watched the reunion. “Surprise.” you said softly.
Marshall met your gaze, his expression a mixture of disbelief and pure happiness. “You—wait—he’s ours?”
You nodded, noticing Marshall’s teary eyes, a lump caught in your throat at the sight. “Yeah. He’s ours. I got the call this morning, and I couldn’t say no. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Mind?” Marshall asked, his voice cracking as Stan licked his cheek. “Are you shitting me?” 
“Not at all. I think he missed you too much,” you said tears now filling your eyes.
“I missed him too,” Marshall replied, his voice soft as he looked down at Stan. Then he looked back up at you, his eyes shining. “Thank you Y/N.”
Almost as if he rehearsed it, Stan snuggled into Marshall and attacked him with kisses, whipping away the tears slipping down Marshall’s cheeks. Petting Stan with both hands, Marshall tried to process everything. “Yooo, you’re wearing a hoodie, little man? And—wait, is that your hat?”  
Stan barked happily, spinning in circles in front of Marshall. You walked over, scooping up the cap from the floor. “Figured he needed to look his best for his big reunion,” you said, placing the hat back on Stan’s head for a moment before it fell off again.  
Marshall laughed, shaking his head. “Fucking unbelievable,” he said, his voice thick with emotion. He looked back at Stan, then at you, his eyes shining. “Thank you. I don’t even know what to say.” Marshall pulled you into a hug, his free arm still wrapped around Stan, who was now happily nestled between the two of you.  
“Best surprise ever,” Marshall said, his voice quiet but full of meaning. Reality snapping back to him, Marshall looked towards you. “My surprise looks like shit now. And here I thought a secret order of breadsticks would be the highlight of our night.”
You laughed, resting your head against his shoulder as Stan sniffed you. “Welcome home,” you whispered, as you scratched behind his ears.
Stan wiggled in the middle, his tail thumping against both of you like a rhythmic drumbeat. Marshall scratched behind Stan’s ears, his gaze soft as he looked at you with a full smile. “This little guy’s going to be spoiled rotten. You know that, right?... We need to get the little dude some Snoop doggy merch.”
A/N: Hey chat. I cried writing this. I'm not sure if there will be a part three.. but I could be talked into it. I really love dog dad Marshall. <3

Can I request Rosie x female reader who owns a cannibal meat pie shop close to the emporium? Just them being a cute couple after a long work day. Maybe Y/N brings over some special meat pies she made just for her lovely girlfriend?
Here’s the first one! I am rusty with my writing, so you’ll have to excuse any mistakes. I hope this is good enough! Enjoy!! :D
Tumblr media
You were packing everything up for closing time, as per usual. Double checking every cabinet door was shut and locked before heading into the back of your store to gather all that you had brought with you and what you planned to bring home. The main item of concern was a pie you had specially made for your girlfriend and wanted to get home to her while it was still warm. Seconds before you went to flip the final switch the store's bell rang out and you groaned. Every day, at this exact time, the same person would come in at the last second. Susan. You inhaled and exhaled deeply, putting on your best smile as you stepped back out into the front.
"Susan," You greeted in a sickly sweet voice, already sliding open the panel to where her regular order was displayed, "What can I get for you?"
"The same as always, please" Please? That's a first. You didn't comment on it and simply nodded, going on to bring out the tray. If you took too long she'd get snappy, so there was no time for any chitchat, not like you wanted to converse with her today. It had been a hectic day, the time of the week where you’d made a fresh batch of human pies, and Susan was prolonging it.
Swiftly, you wrapped up Susan's order, not wanting to waste a minute longer. You cursed yourself for not doing this early with the knowledge that she'd come along. When you placed it on the counter, ready to take Susan's payment, you checked the time. If she was quick at getting her money out then you'd only be five minutes late. That didn't happen. Because Susan just had to go and take her sweet time getting every penny out of her purse. You felt like reaching over the counter to strangle her, but kept a smile on your face, nevertheless.
When it had been paid for you bid her goodbye, "Bye Susan, I hope you have a lovely evening"
You got the same old, "You too" from her. And the second the door closed you scrambled to gather your things, praying for no further interruptions. With the lights turned off, a bag over your shoulder and the door locked securely, you hurried home.
The moment you walked into your home you were greeted with Rosie's welcoming smile that you returned with an apologetic one.
"I'm so sorry I'm late-"
"Susan?" She interrupted your apology with an amused smirk.
You let out a short chuckle and a curt nod. You were so thankful to have such an empathetic partner such as her. She understood the struggles of dealing with Susan. You went over and pressed a kiss on either of her cheeks followed by a peck on the lips.
"She's insufferable" You whispered.
Rosie cupped your face and brought you into a kiss, mumbling against your lips, "I know, darling"
Smiling blissfully, you parted but kept your forehead up against Rosie's with your eyes closed. She sighed contently whilst snaking her arms around your waist. Her hands bumped into your bag which caused her to look down with an inquisitive expression.
"What's in the bag?" Her question brought you out of your enraptured state. Your eyes snapped open and you stepped back from the embrace.
"I made you a little something," You told her as you reached into your bag. A proud smile adorned your face with the pie you'd baked held out in front of you.
"Oh sweetie," Rosie took the pie and grinned widely, taking in the intricate patterns on the pastry, "I thought I smelt something good"
"It's got all of your favourite meats in; pinky fingers, eyeballs with some brain, and a few other little things. It will need warming up aswell"
"It'll be perfect, you know me all too well" She placed a kiss on your head before walking off to the dining table. You followed suit, noticing the teapot and cups set in your places. It made your smile grow further knowing that she'd patiently been awaiting your return, having prepared you both the hot beverages to drink over some good gossip, as always.
"Pray tell what these 'few other little things' are?"
"I'm not telling" She feigned an offended gasp at your response.
Laughing faintly, you approached her from behind and wrapped your arms around her waist. With your chin resting on her shoulder, you whispered, "You'll just have to wait and see, won't you?"
"I suppose I will”

bask in the glory of skies clearing up, bent and parted, to bring love together. unplanned silver lining, san looks at you as you walk away absentmindedly to the counter, smiling to himself, he's at peace. like his problems had never existed before, not a worry in the world. the sun now coming in the windows, thrill restored feels like an unexplored sentiment. you're real, you've changed your outfit, you go out, you do stuff, you have a real life. he's completely charmed it could make him cry, but this time, joyful tears would come out. reassured of his planned fate, he nods to himself and walks to the door. side eyeing your friend who's currently way too focused on his phone, there's no space for jealousy right now, he'll give it time.
he wishes he could stay longer with you, he does, he wants to stare at you for twenty four hours, seven days a week, but the rush of the moment, the awkwardness of getting up just to sit back down again pulls him outside. the campus is big enough for him to take a half hour walk around, picturing a scene of you in every corner. his mouth numb from smiling so much, he kneels under the bright sky, sunflowers around him. he takes note of the baby blue dress you were wearing, grateful to whoever crafted the red lipstick you donned, defining your natural pout.
roaming around between the pressured students, thinking of all the stories you would tell him if you were giving him a tour right now, the moment to turn back to the cafeteria came. he saw you leaving your friend with a hug, relieved to not witness any mouth-to-mouth action, and if you were to have a boyfriend, he sensed he wouldn't allow you to have a male friend, too much beauty around would be dangerous and any man would understand, elucidated availability to him, well, not that he cared. you look like a cloud, a symphony of destruction won't matter to him as long as you're the pied piper. your steps lead him to a nearby park, where you settle against a tree to revise. he questions whether he should come up to you, but what should he say? he's terrible with words, terrible with women, and he does not want to mess up with you, not of all people in the whole entire world, he'd rather die than to make a terrible first impression on you. you, the most perfect girl he's ever seen.
so at first, he decides he'll be just an observer. study what you like in a man and become that, study your needs and wants, then pretend it's all actually him so you'd fall for him, easy. carefully angling his phone towards you, annoyed at the lack of privacy and limited variations, he captures your essence, concentrated eyes, thighs showing, biting into your pen, inspiration sparks into him, angel sight.
mentally kissing you goodbye, hating to see your figure get smaller and smaller, he walks into his car with butterflies in his stomach. today he met excitement again, lighten ideas and whet fashions.
he grabs his latest work, a doll that's meant to look exactly like you, same hair and colours. he spends the whole day painting her to sublimity, an honoring manifestation. he usually takes the weekends off, but she needed her baby blue dress, so with tunnel vision focus, a boiling course through his body, he sews her little clothes at it's most accuracy.
his penis perked up and wet, out of boxers he's been owning for five years now, aching for the sweetness of your lips. "my y/n, you looked so fucking beautiful in that dress", he holds up his latest masterpiece, plain replica of you. "oh? you wore it just for me? that's my girl, mine, mine only." with his other hand, he starts to please himself, as always, thinking of you. "hm baby, just like that." shaky breaths, cyan silk, moving his hand up and down his shaft as he made your replication stare, slowly bringing her lower and lower to his member.
he never did this to his dolls, a self declared gentleman and caretaker would never disrespect his mini ladies, but it was you who enticed a flame into him. the way your hips swayed as you walked in front of him, how you occasionally sucked on the folds of your fingers, the wind blowing your hair back making your neck look even more appetizing to him. his pace fastened, miserable moans heard until his white release covered her solid face, dripping into her newly sewn dress, claimed in mad wonder. "you did so good my love."
-
the next day arrived, pilates monday it is. he found the studio you mentioned on his phone and checked their schedule, you must be from group d. this time he remembers to shower, thinking he could get used to this new routine, as previously when he saw himself obliged to go out, he wouldn't even bother to even look at himself in the mirror, black hoodie, sweatpants and a mask made justice for him. his mirrors now free from sheets, forcing him to face the loathe of his life: himself.
"are you an artist?" the smiling red haired cashier asked as she scanned the human anatomy book.
"no" san simply murmured.
"well you have the look, uhm... it'll be $14,34" he eyed the stairs right in the corner, where you could be walking in any minute, or maybe you did and he stupidly missed you as he was browsing the library. "here you go sir, have a ni-" approaching the stairs rapidly, he'd been too patient, he needed to see you now.
he found himself in a monochrome corridor with three doors on each side, the three rooms in the left with big windows half covered by curtains and an old water dispenser at the end of the hall. currently the second room was the noisiest, as he got closer he saw all the feminine bodies, laughing and chatting while they stretched, huff, none of them pretty enough.
for a second he wondered if you could be sick, the class was already starting and you weren't present, did he get the wrong time? had they rescheduled? maybe he could find out where you lived, bring you some tea and look after you so you can cuddle at night?.
"it's starting oh my god we're so stupid."
"this is so embarrassing," as you run up the stairs with karina, you slipped on one of the steps and she pulled you up by your inner elbow. "shit i almost fell."
"dumbass, go go go."
it was like a flash. once again you didn't even look his way, which he was thankful for as you would've found him in a dumbfounded state, appealing disadvantage on his side. doted on your laugh, your big smile and your thight clothes. you were wearing all black today and it almost sent him into cardiac arrest, he leaned against the wall, you were gonna be the death of him.
san had declared this his luckiest day as his figure could be safely covered by the curtain, and as your tardiness made you take the space closer to the door, he had a perfect view of you. you seemed nervous around the new group of people, he only wanted to come in and give you an encouraging hug.
cobra pose, downward dog and his favorite, cat cow. san watched you attentively as he filmed with his phone, allowing his mind to decorate your image at the latest hours, in his bed, pounding on y...
"hey boy," the janitor decided to appear "you waitin' for someone?." san didn't reply, taken back by the old man just trying to do his job "go sit in the back, would ya?." the man continued swiping the floor, shaking his head at the young man who secretly aimed him a middle finger.
one thing san had always been consistent with is his job, making dolls for 10 years easily became his whole lifestyle. every month he had at least five new models and the incoming orders offering big amounts of payment were enough encouragement. he never took vacations, what could he do anyway? he didn't know anything else, or anyone else, no friends, no family, might as well just keep doing the only thing he knows how to do. but that was until you came up in his life. this sudden obsession, he craved you more than anything and looking at you for only 10 minutes was just not enough. so he had no other choice but to miss work hours and follow you home, already claimed as his so might as well.
in the meantime, he checked the location on his social media and, rhythm startled, was jumpscared to find a mirror selfie your friend and you had just taken a minute ago, your tagged account being completely public, bingo.
"you sure you don't wanna go?" karina looked down at you packing your stuff.
"no i'm good, i got stuff to catch up on, haven't properly cleaned my home in like a week you know," you both got out of the room walking downstairs. "plus i still have that pizza from saturday."
"we really thought we could eat three pizzas in one night."
"yeah, can't let it go to waste."
"why won't you invite jacob over to help you? he needs the carbs," she nudged your shoulder teasingly.
"oh my god, will you stop with that?" you blushed at the mention of jacob, a much taller guy from your history class, a jock if you will. maybe you do have a teeny tiny crush on him, i mean, who wouldn't? he's manly, confident, a gentleman, always opening the door for women, and he's one of the most ambitious people you've met.
"he likes you, i'm telling you, you've gotta give him a chance."
"you know i can't," karina rolled her eyes as you both repeated the same phrase "my gap year to paris."
"your gap year to paris, listen, you're not gonna be gone forever are you?" she grabbed your shoulders as of trying to snap you into the obvious. "and you can still text."
"i don't know, he's just... too perfect, he wouldn't look my way."
"girl, i saw the way he was looking at you at the hills, literally eating you with his eyes," karina playfully fake ate your hand and you both exited the building in a puddle of laughs. san was horrified, he could almost throw up at the savagery his ears just caught on, sick and twisted.
"i'll see you tomorrow," you hugged your friend. you'd only met karina a couple months ago, when she transferred to your small town and instantly became close friends, a free fall of care and friendship, she was like an older sister to you, even if you were of the same age.
"see you babes, and don't miss your chance with jake, i'm telling you."
"yeah whatever, take care."
"love you." you put on your headphones and disassociate your walk home. you've tried to get your license before but honestly, you preferred the fresh air, thankful for the privilege of sidewalks and security around, hearts of guardian angels and trust.
it's been almost two years since you moved out, your studio apartment might be small, old and scratched up, but you're happy to finally get the fridge space all to yourself, to decorate with all the books and vintage ornaments you wanted and have your own solo parties to the type of music you pleased.
pages scattered, unfolded bedsheets, glasses from evenings of unanswered phone calls. you've talked it out many times before, but such upbringing stays a fog. paying no deserved mind, you spent the whole day deep cleaning your beloved home, ashamed box hidden under your wardrobe, kicked and out of sight. you could do anything and chose to lay in your couch, loaded melancholy. another lonely weight reminded you of your earlier conversation, what if jacob really had feelings for you? a perilous shot to be stained, you opened your chat with him trying to come up with an excuse of conversation, only to keep deleting it before being sent, cursing a rue. you curled up in your blanket, better safe than sorry, a lament lullaby.
as you (unknowingly) guided san towards your street, he found the hotel in front of your building at light, requesting the room right in front of the balcony he spotted on a selfie you posted a while ago. candled plush sitting at dawn, he found comfort at the window frame, tied by rouse. your shadow moving around out of reach, in his eyes, he's not over.
-
one night turns into four, then five, then two weeks, commissions closed, disused residency and terminating restraint. he followed you almost every single day, stalked your social media to obsession and daily masturbated to your figure on the curtain. he memorized your work days and classes. he noticed your favorite pilates positions (and took notes). he learned your favorite music, using your public playlist and the songs you blasted at night as an idea. he learned your favorite foods, as you had your breakfast in your balcony and through the discarded envelopes he found in your trash. he learned the size of your bras and your preferred model of panties as he stands in the middle of your room, dim and silent.
"gill from nemo? are you kidding me?" you'd asked ally to help you grocery shop earlier today, then somehow ended discussing about your innocent youth and what you used to like.
"you said you wouldn't judge," ally looked down ashamed.
"ok sorry i wasn't expecting your childhood crush to be a fucking fish."
"a moorish idol mind you."
"oh so now you're a fish expert?" you grabbed some butter.
"he's giving dilf," she shrugged.
"gross."
"you haven't told me yours, go on."
"i don't know, a normal one?" you pretended to think. "ooh, remember peter pan from the live action?"
"of course, he was everyone's crush," ally nodded in agreement.
"i know! i used to leave my window open at night so he would come in," you mentally slapped yourself at your confession.
"oh to be as hopeful as when we were kids."
"you said it."
little did she know you still did that, occasionally, the need of hope was heavy. this morning's class was dismissed for unclarified reasons, but since you couldn't go back to sleep, you decided to watch your favorite childhood movies, peter pan (2003) directed by pj hogan happened to be one of them. as tears fell down your cheeks, the ending credits rolled down the screen and you don't know if your nostalgic crying is a happy one or not. thinking of the time you secretly watched this movie for the first time, an instant calm, a moment where you could relax and mentally escape. you imagined a prince rescuing you many times, taking you to neverland and never seeing anyone ever again. those were the sparks of spirits you clinged to rather than the overcasted childhood you deemed lost.
you wiped your tears, feeling silly and glad that no one could see you in this state, walked to the window of your room and opened it, breeze on your face, but you didn't mind, the rush of adrenaline was worth it. you felt like looking at a 7 year old in the mirror again and although your crushing gaze shifted to captain hook this time, the feeling of childish desire gave you comfort.
as your multiple tote bags hang from your shoulders, you walked to ally's car, talking to her absentmindedly about a game you used to play until she suddenly stops in her tracks, frowning at the phone in her hand. "thank you for driving me by the way, so lucky that classes were cancelled today" you look at her skin quickly turning pale "i do need to get the dairies home but i'll be quick and then we can pick up karina..." used to her dramatic behavior, you gave yourself a moment to release the heaviness of the bags, the amount of large peanut butter jars should be the main concern right now, but when you noticed the whites of eyes widening, face still in shock, you slowly walked back to her.
"is everything alright?" you leaned over to look at her, then at her phone.
"it's mr. perez..." she scrolled back up to show you the title of the article she'd d been sent, bold in big letters.
'college professor stabbed to death, no suspects found at the scene.'
-
san knew you never missed your little stretching sessions, but he didn't expect you to leave so early and although he's curious to know where exactly you went, he can't help but notice that unlike most days, your window was left open. the risk of midday was pronounced but so was the dread of his hotel guest days ending, having to turn back home to his 'normal' habits, far from you. dark clouds painted the sky, strong breezes tasting of liquid alarms, the streets cleared of people who'd rather stay home, he took advantage from emptiness and ran to the emergency stairs before he could be seen. years of training in his private gym allowed him to manoeuvre himself to your balcony, heavy breathing, into your window.
he took in the scene, the smell, your essence. the strawberry cake diffuser decorated the air, pink accents and teddy bears made his heart flutter and the bra hanging from your headboard sent a pulse through his body. he can't help but wonder if you'd ever touched yourself, how many times and when. if you would ever touch yourself to the thought of him like he does. your bed an unmade poem he's willing to rewrite, he lets his instincts take over and slowly presses his pelvis against the mattress with the deepest whine of release. he recognizes your nightstand from the picture you posted in march where it casted a golden hour. now things were a little scattered, used and lived. he looks around, understanding the intensiveness of your decorations, but soon enough he'll spoil you he thinks, you won't have to work a day in your life, his parents' inheritance is more than enough for both of you to live together happily ever after.
he knows he's doing what's right, that it's meant to be, that your future together is closer than ever and him breaking into your home won't interfere your faith. that's why when he takes one of your used panties from the laundry basket and presses it to his nose, a yearning emotion overwhelms him to tears. he's in love with you and having you this close will only push him forward. he doesn't exactly know the cause of his wept, drowned in pressure and a bit of eagerness. on a remnant note, your apartment is now seen blurred. he cries and cries pathetically, sorrow impatient nauseous him to a deep breath. he dries his face with the soaked white undergarment and leaves it where he found it, thinking it all away. he looks at the time, you must be beginning your class right now, so he'll have to leave in about an hour to catch you, in case you got plans after. laying down on your bed, eyes closed to reach nirvana, to reach ecstasy far from the obscurity of his head.
announced by your wind chime and shaky windows, it eventually starts to rain. the impact on the surface of your balcony travel a gentle patter to his ears. your name a soft chant, his hands on his crotch. watered leaves and the jingle of keys, right outside your door.

I don't feel like doing a huge Supernatural analysis tonight because I'm exhausted, end of the school year cannot come fast enough, I'm so busy and so tired and there's still so much to do BUT:
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, the episode I watched tonight. Really good, really sad :( honestly the saddest of the Horsemen in my opinion so far. Famine was honestly funny to me and my sister because he's an absolute icon (he said, "Hungry! Now!" and both of us went, "Yeah, that's me."), and I don't remember War too much but he wasn't this bad I don't think. Death is horrible because I feel so bad for these people that have already said goodbye to their loved ones, went through the grieving process, and then had their old wounds reopened and salted by getting to see their loved one alive for like 5 days and that's it. Is that better, is that worse? I don't know, but it seems not great. But I wish Bobby and Karen got to have their cute white-picket fence life with Karen baking pies and Sam and Dean getting to grow up with a mother/grandmother figure in their lives, and Bobby and Karen having a bunch of little grandkids running around. They deserved that :( but on Supernatural we never get what we deserve :( But overall, I did really enjoy this episode even without Cas being in it.
My Bloody Valentine. ATE. LEFT NO CRUMBS. I had high expectations for it with it being the Valentine's episode and Cas being in it, so I was hoping for some good Destiel scenes, and it did not disappoint :) Cas was absolutely adorable, a national treasure, the entire episode. Loved seeing him eat, what a cutie, and him and Dean's little conversations gave me life ("What are you, the Hamburglar?"). Also, Cas eating a burger in the passenger seat of the Impala with Dean is what I'm calling their first date because it's just SO cute and SO domestic and sweet and I just can'ttttt. And Dean saying he's not hungry!!! While looking at Cas who is absolutely starving and can't pry his eyes away from Dean's burger!!! I was like please, Dean, baby, let him have just a bite and he was gonna give him his whole plate!! Boyfriend behavior right there!!! SUCH a fucking good episode, absolutely loved it. Also also love Cupid and Cas' interactions being like the outgoing cousin and the neurodivergent cousin who can't get along just because they're so different, Cas being so uncomfortable with the hugs :( and "Give 'em hell, Cas!" like honey oh my GOSH.
The Song Remains the Same. Honestly feel like I don't have near as much to say about this episode. A lot happened, a lot of heavy, emotional, feels-plot-related-but-probably-isn't stuff happened, like always does in the episodes where they go back in time to see John and Mary. I do really like young John, which is crazy because I HATE (or at least thought I did, now I'm not so sure anymore) old John. I was glad when he died and I was glad that he was still dead, but after hearing Sam talk about how John was just trying to protect them the best he could with raising them into the hunting life... I don't know how to feel anymore. John was just so naive and innocent as a civilian, it's crazy. The Cas abuse was UNWARRANTED though, how could they :( he literally says "It'll take a lot out of me to go back in time, especially if I bring you two, because I'm weaker now." and Dean says "Too bad."???? Like buddy no that's your boyfriend be concerned??? Then Cas is BLEEDING, leaned up against the SIDE OF A CAR, and they're surprised??? Like he told you this would happen. And then he coughs up blood and passes out and I was FREAKING out. Then Dean thinks it's fine to just stuff him in a hotel room for a week, like you're not going to check on him, watch him, make sure he... oh, I don't know, LIVES? through the week? SAM being more worried about Cas than Dean is just ridiculous. Then when they get back to their time and Cas immediately passes out and they have to drag him like a sack of potatoes to plop him down on the bed :( sweetheart <3333 But Team Free Will is formed!!! Let's fucking go!!!
So, in conclusion, the last few episodes have been GREAT, I've just been so busy and EXHAUSTED that I haven't talked about them as much, but it's so good. Season 4 & 5 of Supernatural are peak rn, and I'm really hoping to finish season 5 this weekend, but I have no clue if that'll actually happen or not, it could definitely just be wishful thinking but it's SO GOOD.

i don't think it's crazy to assume that it's been a while since jason has spent thanksgiving with someone who he truly cares about and who truly cares about him.
i also don't think it's crazy to assume that he's become so used to spending this time of the year alone. patrolling at night instead of going home to a family and eating takeout on days when people typically prepare massive meals to share with their loved ones.
he's so used to it that when you make a big deal of your first thanksgiving together he doesn't really get it at first. to him it's just another day of protecting gotham, to you it's a day to celebrate how thankful you are for the people in your life including him.
you typically spend it with your family, and this year you invite him but he politely declines. says he can't make it, has to patrol, doesn't want to intrude, etc. and you assure him that he can take a night off and it's not intruding if you want him there. still, he's set on not going and you don't push it because you know how to read between the lines, family holidays are a touchy subject for him, it's nothing personal.
when the day rolls around you go to the home of whoever you're celebrating with, and it's great, ofc it is. you're with people you love, eating really good food, catching up with the ones you haven't seen in a while.
and even though you're happy, there's still something missing. someone missing.
if you're out of state, you send him a pic of your plate.
"eating for two."
"what???"
you excuse yourself from the table, going into an unoccupied bathroom to call him. he immediately picks up.
"eating for two huh?"
"yeah, me and you."
he laughs but you can hear relief in his breaths , and you spend the next thirty or so minutes making small talk. it's not awkward but there's something bigger looming between the two of you.
"i wish you were here." you say
and he responds with, "i know."
"maybe next year?"
"maybe next year."
someone knocks on the door, asking if you're almost done, they're bringing out the pies soon. and you and jason say your goodbyes, you hope in that moment that he knows just how thankful for him you are.
if you're still in gotham, you start the night off pretty similarly. enjoying the food and the people around you, playing games and catching up.
but the second you feel that pang in your heart you start plating up enough food to feed a small army (or 200+ pounds of pure muscle). you put some plastic wrap over it and grab your coat. someone asks where you're going, and you just tell them you have work in the morning.
it's cold outside, the climate crisis making november unbearably cold before snow even hits the ground. and you haul ass to your car, driving totally safely, totally not in a rush to see your boyfriend.
when he opens the door of his apartment he's confused, but he still takes the plate from your hands, setting it down somewhere, and holds you in his arms for a while.
"you didn't have to come."
"i wanted to."
"you should be with your family right now""
"you are my family."

Señorita Nothingburger
🎶When you see her, say a prayer /And kiss your heart arse goodbye 🎶
Lauren 2.0. Wow: after The Paid Companion, The Wannabe. Unlike the first round of revelations, this time the output has been totally disappointing. Very few things and zero context, which I have to say I was totally expecting, because it didn't exactly fit the agenda being pushed by Marple (amen!). Lightning never strikes the same place twice, right? And then, we had The Follow - a very interesting foolish, yet telling move: but on this, a bit further down the road, mind you.
So, let's ask ourselves along with La Ciccone: '¿Quién es esa niña?' For once, his IG follow has been very explicit:
Tumblr media
Leading whoever to this account...
Tumblr media
Elix Wellness is offering a very specific range of treatments, of which the one for hangovers really got me interested:
Tumblr media
And yeah, even if I have apparently been scooped out by Marple on this one (my bad for sitting on it for a day), shamelessly using my patented methods (that is a lame joke), Lauren 2.0's LinkedIn account is, for once, very clear:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her contract as a Travel RN was over by August 2023, as pointed out across the street:
Tumblr media
And then she decided to go independent and open her own company. So, by far not a hooker - decent education, even, at NYU.
Lo and behold, who had Ibuprofen in his hotel room, in May 2023, when they were spotted on that NY Soho terrace, having lunch (didn't we laugh? you bet we did, it was one of my first posts in this fandom!)? S, of course. Hangovers could use both ibuprofen and a good IV cleansing treatment ( see above - such a common offering in that particular town, soon to be out of fashion - but hey: if she believes it can bring money, not my problem).
But... dating her? Not a chance in hell. You see, just a cursory survey of her IG account between the moment her contract as a Travel Registered Nurse was over and the moment her company started to be active, reveals a very busy Mediterranean summer, hitting all the possible cliches:
Before ending that contract, even, some days in Paris with her real interest, (again) checking all the tourist/romantic tropes you can imagine, from dining at the Au pied de cochon restaurant to having a quick macaron bite in the Luxembourg Gardens...
Tumblr media
... then off to Paros, a posh island Greek destination, very much in vogue with the creative crowd, followed by (we are talking mandatory island hopping, here) Mykonos (unapologetically posh and very expensive, LGBTQ+ friendly destination - also beloved by the glam and glitz crowd)
Tumblr media
Oh, hello Soho Roc House, part of the Soho Houses network - rings a bell? What a small world, really.
Tumblr media
... a couple of days in Rome, followed by some quality family time (Mom and Pop, at a minimum) in Puglia, then Croatia (again, the glam crowd of Hvar island), back to Paris for a girls' trip (Montmartre, the Eiffel Tower and a couple other spots in the Marais and around the Rue de Rivoli - cliche forever):
Tumblr media
... then back in Rome for cacio e pepe pasta, Piazza Navona and the Pantheon oculus (artsy girl, told you), followed by Positano and Capri (with Mom and Dad, again). Nothing to write home about, but still trying to sell herself as an up and coming influencer of sorts, perhaps.
Nowhere near S for the entire 2023 Sassenach Summer Tour. How is this equating with dating, that is really beyond me. Seriously. For instance, just before the second sighting, in NYC (June 10, 2023), she was having fun in the Algarve region and Lisbon (of course, Portugal). Probably posted those pics upon her return to NYC:
Tumblr media
Dating? More like convenient pretext. He knew people would hang around that hotel (fans, autograph hunters, etc), especially during OL promo peak time. And he knew someone will take that pic, which was then conveniently placed in *urv's lap, for lengthy talks and more innuendo. Just as the first sighting was conveniently placed in Marple's inbox, to see if topic garners interest and sticks around/can be reused for further shits and giggles. Innuendo and nothing more would be my best bet: neither *urv, nor Marple had ANY positive idea about who she was, back at the time.
And now, the third drop was again placed in Marple's inbox, because attention had to be redirected to this particular gossip topic, in rather dire circumstances following Lauren 1.0.
And for your information, she does not follow S and he does not follow her. But he follows her newly opened joint: hangovers are a bitch, I know.
Why? I think it is clear enough why.
Who dunnit? I will let you draw your own conclusions, really. Again, it is rather plain to see. My belief is that this is not TPTB. And for once, I do not think he met her via Raya. Nope.
I took one for the team and listened to that podcast (if you are very foolish or brave or foolishly brave, you can do the same here: https://youtu.be/vBmcnhe2kwg?si=rRu5YCLHS3eZhuFs ). I mean, what is WRONG with those women? That is legit 14 year old bullshit talk about relationships (or the immature impossibility to have a satisfying one). They essentially explain in that podcast they have trouble decoding 'the man' in some relationships and the way they play out. I was laughing so violently my abs (or lack of them) hurt. At some point, I even thought it was some sort of sophisticated second degree, but NO (#cringe).
Also, I think I should be burning my pineapple pajama summer pants. Seriously. If you listen to the whole bullshit, you'll see there is no damn way to substantiate anything based on that. Zero connection.
