Baby In Papaya : ̗̀➛ Lando Norris
summary: as your son starts to join you in the mclaren paddock, it doesn't take long for him to earn his own piece of papaya too
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The noise in the garage quietened as soon as the team watched you walk in, holding onto the hand of your son. Lando stood up straight away, kneeling down with his arms wide open as your son ran through and jumped straight into Lando’s hold. 
“Hi buddy,” Lando grinned, pressing a kiss against his cheek before placing him back on his feet, allowing him to say hello to the other faces around the garage that he knew. 
Once you had placed your bag down, you made your way over to Lando too, feeling his lips peck against your cheek, his arm snake around your waist. Zak was quick to come and greet you, letting you know just how excited the team were to have you back in the garage again. 
“Anything you need today, you let us know,” he told you, making sure that you were looked after. Since having your son, it was your first time at a race, and the team were keen to make life as easy for you as they possibly could. 
After saying hello, your son ran back over to Lando, hiding behind his leg as the noise got louder. With everyone stood in a huddle, Zak reached up onto one of the shelves, pulling down a box and holding it out to you. 
“We got a little something for the little man to welcome him to McLaren,” Zak told you. 
“Really, you guys are adorable,” you grinned, taking the box from Zak. 
With your son’s help you lifted the lid off, greeted by a patch of papaya straight away. As you reached in, the material unfolded to reveal a McLaren shirt, a smaller replica of the one that Lando wore around the garage. 
Your son’s eyes lit up as he realised that he had been given the same as what Lando wore, bouncing up and down on his feet. “What do you say?” You asked him, watching him peer around from behind Lando and thank Zak for the gift he had given him. 
Soon enough, your son had taken his top off, his arms stretched up in the air. You knew exactly what he wanted, placing the new shirt over his head, pulling it down as it fit perfectly around his little body. 
No one was more excited than Lando though as he knelt down, standing next to your son. They were almost identical in their matching shirts, exactly what Lando had always dreamt of. 
“You look so handsome,” you smiled across at them both. 
“I’m just like daddy now, aren’t I?” 
Your head nodded in reply to your son, “hopefully it stops at the shirt, if it extends to driving race cars too, I think might have a breakdown.” 
Several chuckles came from around the paddock as the team went back to their jobs, leaving you, Lando and your son sat in one corner of the garage, with Oscar soon inviting himself over to join the three of you too. 
“When you were pregnant Lando used to talk about how he wanted to match with his child,” Oscar informed you, “it was all he talked about.” 
“Did he now?” You teased, “funny how you never told me that.” 
Lando shot a glare across at Oscar who had a proud smile on his face, lifting your son and placing him into his lap as he continued to admire his shirt. 
“I was thinking we could head out on a paddock tour in a bit,” Lando spoke, wanting to make sure that his son got the full experience of the garage, even if he was a little too young to be able to take it all in. 
“Will it be safe enough to take him around?” You quizzed, a little more doubtful than Lando was. “It’s busy out there, especially with all the car parts being moved around too.” 
Lando nodded confidently, not wanting you to worry. “I��ll be right there with you guys so you won’t be by yourselves. And if he gets lost, at least everyone will know that he belongs to McLaren now too.” 
Your eyes rolled as Lando proudly admired how amazing your son looked in the shirt once again. It had been a long time since you’d seen him so excited, knowing just how long he’d waited to show your son around, you just couldn’t say no to him. 
As he watched your head nod, Lando’s eyes lit up. “There’s so many people who have been pestering to meet him.” 
“I’m trusting you," you warned, poking against Lando's side. You looked across at Oscar who couldn’t help but laugh at you both, remembering how much fun it was to have you at the paddock. “This might be the stupidest decision that I’ve made in my life.” 
Oscar cleared his throat from beside you, “I’d argue that your stupidest decision was choosing to sleep with this guy,” he joked, smirking in Lando’s direction. “I mean even after all these years I wonder what it was that you ever saw in Lando.” 
“I’m sat right here,” Lando reminded you, speaking as if he was invisible. ”And obviously she saw how devilishly handsome I was, otherwise we wouldn’t have our little papaya baby sat here right now.” 
He was Lando’s pride and joy, on the edge of his seat with excitement about being able to introduce him to everyone. Before you knew it, he was up and holding onto your son to carry him round, hurrying you up so that he could take you around with him. 
As Lando began to walk, you hung back, with Oscar deciding to join you too. “Do you have any idea how excited he’s been to do this?” He asked you. 
“I imagine he’s been unbearable,” you laughed. 
Oscar nodded, never failing to be surprised by how well you knew Lando. “I think everyone has been driven slightly up the wall listening to him this weekend. He’s told me five times alone that you were coming, just in case I happened to forget.” 
Ahead of you, Lando walked with a spring in his step, allowing his son to wave to just about everyone. A few of the other drivers came over, keen to meet the little boy that they had heard so much about. Your son was adorable at the best of times, but dressed in papaya, he had everyone obsessing over him. 
“I think someone’s enjoying themselves,” Lando smiled back at you as yet another driver waved goodbye. Lando bounced your son in his hold, making sure that you saw just how big his smile was. 
“Is it our son, or is it secretly you?” You joked. 
“I’m having the time of my life,” Lando proudly admitted, unable to contain himself. “I always knew it anyway, but papaya really does suit my boy.” 
Your head shook at Lando’s grin, “it was only a matter of time before I ended up losing my son to McLaren, wasn’t it?” 
“His whole wardrobe will be papaya soon, I’ll make sure it’s packed out with plenty of merch,” Lando assured you, “and everyone will know that he is daddy’s biggest fan.” 
“I remember the days when I was your biggest fan,” you joked, “now I’ve just been pushed aside like I’m nothing thanks to our child.” 
“Don’t worry, there’s a place for you at number two.”

DC x DP prompt: Zeus is a dick, as is most of the Greek pantheon. As such, Cassie Sandsmark is looking for a new patron god. Dani hears this, and introduces her to Danny, the Ghost King and new god like being.
(I haven't finished reading through the Young Justice run, so I actually don't know too much yet. So just beware that this will probably be incorrect.)
Cassie snarled as she straddled the dummy to beat it with her fists. From a distance, the rest of the Young Justice looked at her with various amounts of wariness and worry. Dani leaned close to Kon.
“What’s going on?” She whispered.
Tim was the one who answered, “Cassie’s powers are disappearing. Something with Zeus? I’m a bit more worried about her raging though. She’s going to hurt herself at this rate.”
Dani nodded and shared a look with the other girls, who also gave her a look. Then they all stepped forward, leaving the boys behind to share a sigh of relief.
They approached Cassie carefully, who was panting and winding down from her brutal beat down on the practice dummy.
“Hey, Cassie,” Cissie began. “Wanna talk about it?”
Greta and Dani both helped Cassie up and while Greta patted her back comfortingly, Dani put away the dummy. Cassie scowled, but then her expression changed into something more sad. “My powers are leaving. I just— I just want to know why! I thought that they wouldn’t leave me no matter what…”
Dani perked up. “Wait, you need another patron god?”
Cassie nodded but then she paused, alongside Greta and Cissie. “Wait… do you know someone?”
Dani beamed. She nodded and flew forward to hold Cassie’s hand. “Yes! He’s new to being a god, but I can promise that he’s powerful and he won’t abandon you! I can promise you 100%!”
Cassie looked hopeful for the first time. She looked down, thinking to herself as she muttered, “I only wanted Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl to be proud of me…” She looked up at Dani. “Who is he?”
Dani grinned. “He’s a death god, but he only came to power a few months ago. He rules over the domain of death and everyone who is dead or will be dead. Also space.”
Cassie hesitated. “Death…? I’m not sure if I’m comfortable with that.”
Dani clenched her hand gently. “I promise that he won’t make you kill. He’s the god of death, so he only helps ferry the dead souls to the afterlife. He’s more like… Hades, if that makes sense. He was a hero himself in our world.”
Cassie brightened. “I’d like to meet him! Who is he?”
Dani grinned. Her eyes were sparkling from excitement. “He’s my brother.”

SECRET RECIPE TO YOUR LOVE 𓂃 심재윤
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
✷ in which jake receives a list from your friends with all your favorite things and uses them in an attempt to get you to fall in love with him.
downbad jake︲fem reader ︲fluff, comedy, chef! reader︲petname (once), small fluffy kiss at the end︲1700 / more
Tumblr media
─── ♡
jake was so desperately in love the day he saw you at the campus restaurant working there as a part time job. he didn’t even like the food there, yet he came back every single day just to see you.
he was too nervous to speak to you, and it wasn’t until your best friend chaewon noticed how puppy eyed he looked, staring at you almost every single shift.
that’s when he struck gold with chaewon offering a deal of a lifetime. the secret recipes and ingredients to your love.
“time to pay up, i basically gave you a ‘how to’ make her fall in love with you” chaewon tutted with her hand extended out towards jake.
jake was willing to pay any price, and pulled out his wallet non hesitantly pulling out cash to hand to your friend.
he was more than excited to utilize the list.
“she’s worth it,” jake mumbled, watching as chaewon counted the money with a smirk.
“oh, i know. that’s why i made this list so thorough,” she teased, waving the folded piece of paper in front of him. “don’t mess this up.”
jake took the list, his heart racing just at the thought of finally making you see him as more than a friend. he knew every tip and trick chaewon listed out would be essential.
he unfolded it slowly, scanning the first line.
unbeknownst to him, chaewon had just set him up for failure, but he was a desperate desperate man willing to trust any source close to you.
─── ♡
INGREDIENT 1 : BUY HER DAHLIAS
the next day, jake showed up outside your lecture hall, a small bouquet of dahlias wrapped in soft tissue paper in his hands. he’d looked them up after reading the list, finding out that dahlias were your favorite.
your eyes widened when you saw him. “jake, what’s this?”
“for you,” he said, smiling, his cheeks flushed pink. “just thought…you deserve something nice.”
you accepted the flowers, feeling the warmth in your chest rise as you glanced down at them. you loved dahlias; they were beautiful and rare to find around campus. it was thoughtful, sweet, the kind of gesture you never thought jake would make.
“thank you,” you murmured, a bit of nervousness creeping into your smile. you didn’t have the heart to tell him that you were mildly allergic. your nose was already starting to tingle, but you held them close anyway, wanting to appreciate the gesture fully.
“you like them?” jake asked, looking relieved and proud, as if he’d just won a small victory.
you nodded, sneezing softly into your elbow and giving him a thumbs-up to reassure him. “they’re really beautiful, jake. honestly.”
“good,” he replied, his grin widening, clearly pleased with himself. he didn’t seem to notice your eyes starting to water, or maybe he did and thought it was out of happiness.
you walked together, and he stayed close, chatting happily as if he’d broken a small barrier between you two.
as soon as he left, you quickly ducked into the restroom, letting out a sigh of relief as you carefully set the dahlias down by the sink, sniffling and laughing at the same time.
even if he’d gotten it a little wrong, the thought behind it made your heart flutter.
jake returned to his dorm room feeling victorious, his heart pounding as he recalled the thoughts earlier in the day.
─── ♡
INGREDIENT 2 : BUY HER GRAPE AND CHERRY CANDY
the next week, between classes (that he had memorized), jake found you by the lockers, his face lighting up as he pulled a small, crinkling bag from his pocket. “hey, i heard these are your favorite,” he said, holding up a pack of cherry and grape candies with a proud grin.
you blinked, momentarily confused. cherry and grape? the artificial flavors you always avoided? still, the excitement on his face was enough to make you tuck away your true feelings.
“oh… wow, jake,” you said, trying to match his enthusiasm, a slight unsure smile tugging at your lips. “thank you. you really didn’t have to.” your favorite?
“of course i did,” he said, beaming, clearly satisfied with himself. “just a little something to brighten your day.”
you took the bag from him, glancing down at the bright red and purple candies inside. you figured he must have heard wrong, but his effort—misguided as it was—still made your heart skip a beat. it was such a tiny thing, yet you couldn’t help but find it oddly endearing.
“you’re really sweet, you know that?” you said, hoping to focus on his effort rather than the actual candy.
“anything for you,” jake replied, his cheeks coloring slightly as he rubbed the back of his neck.
“i’ll, uh, save these for later,” you told him, tucking the candies into your bag. there was no way you’d eat them, but maybe you’d find a friend who would.
jake’s face brightened even more. “awesome. let me know if you need more—i’ll get you all the cherry and grape candy you want.”
“sure, jake,” you replied, biting back a laugh, your heart warming at his clueless sincerity.
as he walked away, you couldn’t stop smiling.
jake’s suspicions began to arise to your confused expression, but nonetheless he was sure this recipe was cooking up love between the two of you.
─── ♡
INGREDIENT 3 : TAKE HER TO THE BEACH
you in fact, hated swimming. you were none the wiser to chaewon planning your demise, but with someone like jake initiating all these plans, it was hard to avoid them.
jake’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he bounced on his toes outside your dorm, his car keys in hand. “ready for the beach day?” he asked, grinning ear to ear.
you froze, the smile on your face faltering just slightly. “the beach?”
“yeah! thought it’d be fun to get some sun, maybe dip our feet in the water.” he shrugged casually, as if it were the best idea ever.
you bit your lip, feeling a twist of nerves in your stomach. “oh, um… the beach?”
“yeah! i remember hearing somewhere that you love the beach, so i figured—” he paused, noticing your hesitant expression. his brow furrowed, eyes softening. “wait, you… do like the beach, right?”
you felt your cheeks warm, not wanting to let him down. “uh… not exactly,” you admitted, giving him a sheepish look. “actually, i’m a little scared of it, the water at least,”
his mouth opened in surprise, and he rubbed the back of his neck, clearly a bit flustered. “oh, wow, i… i didn’t know that. i’m so sorry! i thought—”
“it’s okay,” you interrupted quickly, laughing softly to ease his nerves. “it’s actually really sweet that you thought of me, you could take of your friends though,”
he blinked, clearly relieved but still looking embarrassed. “well, maybe we could walk on the boardwalk and get ice cream. away from the water of course,”
you felt yourself relax, nodding eagerly. “that sounds perfect.”
he laughed, holding his arm out for you. “ice cream it is. and next time, i’ll double-check my sources.”
as you walked away from the beach plan and toward ice cream, you couldn’t help but feel a little closer to him.
─── ♡
INGREDIENT 4 : BE HONEST WITH HER
as you two strolled toward the ice cream shop, jake glanced down at his phone, a hint of suspicion in his eyes. he seemed lost in thought, almost like he was putting pieces together.
“you know,” he started, his voice thoughtful, “chaewon was so confident when she gave me that list. but now… i’m starting to think it was a lie.
“chaewon? did she put you up to the candy and flowers too?” you asked giggling.
“honestly, yeah. she noticed me coming into the campus restaurant every day and felt bad, i guess,” jake admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. “she said she’d help me out with, you know… figuring out what you liked.”
you tilted your head, fighting back a smile. “so she decided to give you a list of all my supposed ‘favorites’?”
jake nodded, groaning. “yeah, but now that i think about it, she had this weird look on her face when she handed it over. like she was way too happy about it.”
you chuckled, shaking your head. “sounds like classic chaewon.”
“i just really wanted to impress you i guess,” jake sighed admitting his feelings.
your heart skipped at his confession, and you felt warmth bloom in your chest. he wasn’t just being sweet—he meant it. all the little gestures, even if they’d gone slightly wrong, came from a genuine place.
“you did, jake,” you said, your voice just as soft, meeting his eyes. “not because of the candy or the beach idea… but because you tried. because you care.”
his eyes widened slightly, and a faint blush crept up his cheeks. “you mean that?”
you nodded, smiling at him. “of course i do. you didn’t need to do any of that to impress me, you know. i already… well, i already like you.”
jake froze, the words seeming to catch him off guard. “wait… you—what?”
you laughed, nervously tucking a strand of hair behind your ear. “i like you, jake. honestly, i’ve liked you for a while. i just didn’t think you…” you trailed off, suddenly feeling shy.
“are you serious?” he asked, a goofy grin spreading across his face. “you like me?”
“yes, jake,” you said, laughing now at how giddy he looked. “i like you.”
standing close, you found yourself caught in his gaze, noticing for the first time just how warm his eyes were. flecks of amber glowed under the soft light, gentle and inviting, holding a hint of vulnerability that made your heart flutter.
“your eyes are really pretty,” you commented gazing into them, admiring the color.
“you mean that angel?” he asked, his face reaching closer to yours as if asking for approval, in which you nodded.
jake leaned in slowly, eyes searching yours for a brief moment. then, his lips brushed softly against yours, warm and gentle, a quiet, unspoken promise lingering between you both.
maybe the recipe to your love was reinvented by jake to be successful after all, despite the small (minor!) flaws written in by chaewon.

They're here. 'Yes, yes wait- WHAT?!'
Tumblr media
A/n: BLLK SEASON 2!!! also haven't posted in a while hehe >< I hope you guys enjoy this!
Summary: Their reaction to seeing you at the Bllk x U20 match.
Warnings: Fluff, angst on Chigiri if you squint your eyes, also!! Spoiler for after the match obviously, a lot of sweetness, established releshionship, that's all I think
Tumblr media
Pairings: Isagi, Bachira, Chigiri, Yukimiya, Otoya,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Loading...
Isagi
You?? Came to see him?? He is so proud of himself, almost as much as you are. The moment he saw you sitting next to his parents tho. Oh this boy panics. Then he suddenly sees you laughing and smiling with his mom, he can't help but smile too. Bachira immediately notices and smirks at Isagi. Always looks at you at the warm up, but again, trying to refrain himself from it, because of a few reasons. Tho the moment the match starts? Oh, he is as concerned as ever. His parents are even surprised and you have to be like 'Don't worry, that's normal.' After it all ends tho, ohh such a sweetheart with that smile. 'I wanna hug you, but I'm sweaty' type of guy🙏🏻. PLEASE say how proud you are for him.
Bachira
You came!!! Omg!!!!! Hii!!! Waving at you the whole time!! Smiling is as big as his face. Actually made you run to the bottom of the audience just so he could hug you from the court. Points exactly where his mom is and is like 'Please sit next to her!!'. He is sooo excited about the match in general, let alone when you two are watching him. Mhm, that's the biggest day in his life, he can bet on that. After the match, kisses you right in front of all the cameras. Everyone needs to see you!! But don't worry not without asking you. He's just silly like that.
Chigiri
Oh my love, please help this guy. Not only did his parents and sister came, but you too?? Oh boy, someone save him, he doesn't know how to react AT ALL. All of his teammates are like 'Who are they??' Otoya is ready to- Nuh uh, back up. So, usually he was still nervous because of his injured knee and everything, but now that he sees you and his family together... coming here to support him.. okay maybe you guys coming is actually very motivating to him. Now...after the match...we know how frustrated is bc of everything, but he is still happy because of the won, so comfort him and congratulate him at the same time. Somehow do it.
Yukimiya
Oh this sweetheart of a man. You came? He cannot thank you enough. He is actually proud of you to be honest. He is just like that. Giving you that sweet smile of his. Now I personally think that he would have already announced that you two are dating before the match so the media already knows, but he's going to show it again anyways. He is so proud you're his, he just can't resist. You cheering for him with his number on your back... The view is perfect, what can he say? After the match he does that with the picking you up and swirling you around. He is sure that he is the happiest man alive.
Otoya
A GIRL CANE TO SEE HIM?? HIM?? Nah, Karasu doesn't believe it. He had to pay you right? He is sooo smug about it. He has a girl and it's actually a relationship. Showing you off everywhere. Media, the crowd, to Karasu especially. Like he didn't already see you, but sure. He tries to act cool, but still is trying his best to impress you at the same time. Teammates are actually surprised when he doesn't flirt with other girls, because he is genuinely so whipped for you.

Hiii! I adore all of your poly couples so I was seriously (Sirius-ly har har I’m so funny) struggling to pick one. But I just reread the poly!Jily and omggg I love the idea of lily becoming James 😭
Anyway I think
“are you blushing?! that’s adorable”
Would be such a cute prompt for them!!
yessssss! and great choice, babes.
poly!Jily x fem!reader who picked up some Potterisms [615 words]
CW: one negative comment about Snape, reader is Slytherin and usually a little grumpy maybe?, fluff
James knew from experience that after spending so long in the company of your friends or loved ones, one quickly picks up on some of their behaviours and mannerisms. 
James started to hear some of Sirius’ barks of laughter escaping his own lips. He also found himself using more colourful language that he no doubt picked up from potty-mouth Moony. James was far more likely to try new and unique cuisines since befriending Peter. And he even found himself calling the odd Slytherin git a toe-rag à la Lily Evans. 
What surprised him was just how much James Lily managed to pick up from him in their relationship by the time they met you. 
The usually blithe, somewhat snide, proud and determined witch could be seen almost tripping over herself in excitement when she saw you. And if James had been a hopeless romantic, Lily was an all out love-aholic. 
But he had more or less gotten used to that since you agreed to go out with them a few months ago. 
What he was still trying to get over were the random bouts of him he saw in you. 
“Oh my goodness!” Lily nearly shrilled as she watched a first year shyly approach another first year with a small bouquet of hand picked flowers held behind his back. “That is so cute.”
James found himself laughing. “Sure, it’s cute when they do it, but when I tried to give you flowers in first year, you threw them in my face.” 
He could hear you giggling from Lily’s other side, but James knew better than to draw attention to your uninhibited reactions and just enjoy them, lest you completely shut down out of embarrassment. 
Lily hadn’t managed to figure that one out yet, so James was glad her attention was still directed towards the now red-in-the-face first years smiling at each other and glaring at their friends’ teasing. 
“You weren’t nearly that cute in first year.” Lily commented breezily. 
“Come now, Evans,” you drawled, “there’s no need to be rude.” 
“I’m not being rude,” Lily argued as she stuck her nose up in the air, “I’m simply telling the truth.”
“You were just blinded by your devotion to Snivellus.” James snickered, causing you to wrinkle your nose in disgust at the thought of your housemate. 
“Oh shut it.” Lily hissed, swatting excitedly at the two of you when she noticed the two first years now holding hands. 
“Ah,” James let out with a fond sigh, “young love.” 
“Isn’t that just the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen!?” Lily squealed. 
“Second sweetest.” You commented casually, causing both Lily and James to look at you in question when they realised you weren’t moved to explain. “I do get to look at you, every day.” You added, shooting Lily a wink. 
James felt a disbelieving laugh escape his lips as he stared at you with a wide smile. 
“Where has this Y/N been all this time!?” James cheered then before turning to see Lily staring at you in shock with her mouth wide open.
“Oh my Godric, are you blushing!?” He asked Lily, holding his hand up to her pink cheeks as if he needed to feel them warm under his touch just to be certain. “That’s adorable.”
“I think you broke her, L/N.” Remus commented as he and Sirius showed up. “I’ve never seen her reduced to a blushing mess before.” 
“And was that a Potterism I just heard you make?” Sirius added with a salacious wink, and James delighted in the glower you shot at his best friend, knowing you likely had a similar heat radiating under your cheeks as Lily.
Merlin, he was so in love.

A/N: This series is officially finished! Thank you for your support, comments, and appreciation for this fic. I will be doing two more one-shots for Jobe. Please keep in mind that this is set before my recent Jobe oneshot and around Chapter 3 of FBF (August 2024). You will see more of Lila and Jude in my other series, Fouled by Fate, which picks up literally the same time as this finishes. Jude and Lila are my babies, and I'm so happy you guys loved them, too!
The air in the Olympic fencing arena buzzed with anticipation. Lila sat between Snoop Dogg and Nina Dobrev, trying to focus on Miles' match while being acutely aware of the camera shutters working overtime behind them. As usual, they seemed more interested in her brother than the actual competition.
"There go the vultures," Lila muttered as another burst of flashes erupted, no doubt capturing Lewis and Amara's every move. She could already imagine tomorrow's tabloid headlines: "F1 Champion's New Love" or something equally dramatic.
"Let 'em talk," Snoop said beside her, his laid-back drawl carrying a hint of amusement. "They gonna do it anyway, might as well give 'em something to talk about."
Lila smiled, grateful for his easy-going presence. "True. Though I think they've got enough material with those two," she nodded towards Lewis and Amara, who were engrossed in conversation with Shaun White.
"Speaking of headlines," Snoop continued, "saw your Versace previews. Looking fire, baby girl."
"Thanks," Lila beamed. The campaign had been a dream come true, though she couldn't wait to show Jude the final results in September. "Just hoping I did the brand justice."
"Please," Nina chimed in from her other side. "You're killing it."
Snoop nodded in agreement, then his expression turned more serious. "Now, what about that soccer boy of yours? He treating you right?"
Lila felt warmth spread through her chest at the mention of Jude. He was back in Madrid, throwing himself into pre-season training with Real Madrid, while she was set to join him in two days. "He's perfect," she said softly. "More than perfect, actually."
"Good," Snoop said, satisfaction evident in his tone. "'Cause you know we got your back if he ain't."
A cheer erupted from the crowd as Miles scored a point. Lila jumped up, clapping enthusiastically. From the corner of her eye, she caught Amara squeezing Lewis' hand in excitement, and she couldn't help but smile. Despite her initial reservations, she had to admit - they looked good together.
As she sat back down, her phone buzzed with a message from Jude:
Miss you. Madrid's not the same without you x
Lila's smile widened as she typed back a quick reply. Two more days, and she'd be back where she belonged - in Madrid with Jude.
The crowd collectively groaned as Miles lost his chance at gold. Lila slumped back in her seat, disappointed for her bonus brother but proud he was still in contention for bronze.
As people began to shuffle out of their seats, Lila stood to hug Snoop goodbye. "Thanks for coming, Uncle Snoop."
"Anything for you, baby girl. Keep killing it out there."
Lewis approached, that easy smile of his in place. "Unc, you good for dinner tomorrow?"
"You know it," Snoop replied. "Hit me up with the details."
While Lewis got caught up chatting with what seemed like half the arena, Lila and Amara found themselves standing off to the side. Camera shutters continued their relentless clicking behind them.
"Watch this," Amara muttered, doing a spot-on impression of Lewis' media voice. "'Yeah man, just trying to support my bestie Miles, you know what I mean?'"
Lila burst into giggles. "Oh my god, that's exactly how he sounds!"
As they shared a laugh, Lila couldn't help but think how naturally Amara fit into their world. She had an ease about her that made everything feel less intense, less serious.
Finally, Lewis made his way back to them, immediately pulling Amara in for a soft kiss. The cameras went absolutely mental, the rapid-fire clicks almost deafening.
Amara pulled back with a smirk. "You're doing this on purpose now, aren't you?"
"Maybe," Lewis grinned, not looking the least bit apologetic.
"You two are ridiculous," Lila said, rolling her eyes fondly. But watching them together, she felt a surge of happiness for her brother. He deserved someone who could handle both his world and his heart with equal grace.
"Says the girl who's about to run off to Madrid to be with her footballer," Lewis teased.
"Speaking of," Amara added, "when does your flight leave?"
"Day after tomorrow," Lila replied, already counting down the hours until she'd see Jude again.
"Well then," Lewis said, wrapping an arm around each of them, "let's make the most of our time together. Dinner?"
As they made their way out of the arena, dodging photographers and well-wishers alike, Lila felt a sense of contentment wash over her. Everything was falling into place - her career, her relationship, her family. Even her brother's love life. Who would have thought?
The restaurant was one of those impossibly chic Parisian spots, all soft lighting and understated elegance. As they settled into their round table, Lila couldn't help but notice how everyone had naturally paired off - Lewis with Amara, Nina with Shaun, even Spinz had brought his girlfriend along. She felt like a sixth wheel, acutely aware of Jude's absence.
Her brother caught her pout. "Aw Peanut, what's wrong?"
"Probably misses her lil' boyfriend," Spinz commented, making Lewis roll his eyes, though without his usual bite.
"Li, you'll see him soon. You know co-dependency isn't healthy."
That made her scoff. "I'm perfectly capable of fending for myself, Lewis. I don't need Jude all the time."
Both Lewis and Amara cocked their heads to the side, clearly unconvinced.
"Okay, Peanut. We could go shopping tomorrow, okay?" Lewis offered, and Lila instantly perked up.
"For my Birkin?" she asked hopefully, grinning so wide all thirty-two teeth were on display.
"Yes…" Lewis said, taking a sip of his water. Amara nudged him playfully. "What? You want a Birkin too, baby?"
"No, Lewis," Amara shook her head with a light chuckle. "You're crazy."
Why was she in her business? Lila's eyebrows shot up at Amara's intervention. She was ready to shut this down if needed - brother's girlfriend or not.
But Amara surprised her again. "But if you want to properly get the job done, I say give her a car as well. What's going on with that?" She winked at Lila.
"Yeah, Lew, where's my new Benz?" Lila added.
The whole table erupted in laughter.
"I thought you wanted a G Wagon?" Lewis noted.
"That too. Now that you 'bout to be making Ferrari money, you can afford two cars and a Birkin," she mused.
"Don't you have money?" her brother countered. "Matter of fact, didn't your footballer sign a new contract with Louis Vuitton and Real Madrid?"
"Yes," Lila stated proudly, holding her head higher. "But I already ran his pockets. You're next, big brother." She held out her hand, beckoning for money.
"You're fuckin’ rotten," he said, shaking his head.
"You made me like this," she retorted, earning a chorus of "oohs" and "she got you there, bud" from around the table.
"Damn, if this is you with your sister, I can only imagine a baby," Amara joked.
Lewis turned to look at her, his expression softening. "The baby is going to be worse, especially if it's a girl."
The tender moment between them made Lila smile despite herself. Maybe Amara wasn't so bad after all. Still, she made a mental note to call Jude later. Paris was beautiful, but it would be even better with him here.
Tumblr media
Jobe was feeling good, riding the high after a solid win against Cardiff City. The locker room had been buzzing with energy, and the post-match celebrations were still fresh in his mind. And now, with the next day off, he was looking forward to a chill weekend with Justine. It had been about a week into their friends-with-benefits situation, and things were going alright. They’d kept it simple—texts, memes, and a couple of calls to talk through some stuff. Both of them knew what it was, and with her teaching placement starting next month, they were trying to squeeze in as much time together as they could.
Jobe's phone buzzed just as he heard the knock on the door. He knew it was Justine before even checking the message.
Opening the door, he saw her standing there, a smile on her face, overnight bag in hand. "Come in," Jobe said, grabbing the bag from her and stepping aside to let her in.
"Thanks," she said, stepping into the flat, her eyes taking in the space.
Jobe’s place was pretty much what you’d expect from a guy his age who was constantly in and out because of training and matches. It wasn’t dirty by any means, but it had that "organized mess" vibe. The living room had a couple of plates stacked on the coffee table, a few empty water bottles scattered around, and his PlayStation controllers tangled up in their wires. A couple of framed posters of his favorite musicians were hung up, alongside signed football jerseys—one from his own club and another from Jude’s time at Dortmund. His football boots were near the door, and a pile of laundry sat on a chair near the kitchen, waiting for attention. But amidst the mess, you could tell he had his routine. His boots were always in the same spot, the dishes were stacked neatly, even if they weren’t washed, and his training gear was laid out for the next session in a tidy heap.
"Nice place," Justine commented, though her tone was playful. She set down her handbag and glanced around. "Bit of a bachelor pad vibe, though.”
Jobe chuckled, shrugging. "I like to call it 'controlled chaos.' I know where everything is." He dropped her overnight bag near the sofa and then looked over at her, catching the way she was taking it all in.
Justine kicked off her sneakers, making herself comfortable as she wandered around. "So, you’re sure you don’t need to tidy up a bit? I mean, what if your mum drops by?" she teased, her eyes landing on the pile of laundry.
Jobe smirked, running a hand through his hair. "Mum’s not coming all the way up here, trust me. And besides, you know how it is—footie, eat, sleep, repeat."
He stepped closer to her, catching her wrist and pulling her into him. "But if it bothers you, I could clean up… or we could just pretend it doesn’t exist." He grinned, his tone suggestive.
Justine laughed, rolling her eyes. "I think I’ll survive. For now."
Jobe grinned back, his eyes lingering on her a bit longer. He was enjoying how easy things felt between them. They weren’t exactly all over each other every day, but the dynamic worked. They could spend time apart, shoot a meme, and laugh over random stuff, then meet up when it made sense. It wasn’t serious, and that’s what made it feel good. With Justine’s teaching placement starting soon and his season about to kick into full gear, they both knew things would get busier. That was why this weekend together felt important. A little downtime before life got crazy again.
As he led her further into the flat, Jobe motioned to the sofa. "Make yourself at home. I’ll grab us something to drink." He headed toward the kitchen, glancing back at her as she settled in.
"Where’s Jude these days?" Justine asked, leaning back on the couch, her eyes following him.
Jobe grabbed two bottles of water from the fridge. "Madrid. He’s getting ready for the season training and all that." He tossed one bottle to her, watching as she caught it easily. “His girl, Lila, is in Paris for the Olympics. She’s been sending me pics of all the events she’s been going to, living her best life."
Justine smiled, twisting the cap off her bottle. "Lila is so cool. Must be amazing being around all those athletes."
Jobe nodded. "Yeah, she’s loving it. Said she’s planning to send me a signed jersey from Team USA’s basketball squad. Gotta say, I’m a bit jealous, but happy for her." He sat down next to her, stretching out his legs and letting out a content sigh. "So, how’s the teaching stuff coming along?"
Justine took a sip of her water, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Placement starts next month. I’m excited but nervous. It’s gonna be intense, but I’m ready for it."
Jobe nodded, appreciating her drive. "I bet you’ll smash it." He gave her a playful nudge. "But until then, you’ve got me all to yourself for the weekend.”
She smirked, raising an eyebrow. "Lucky me.”
Jobe grinned, leaning in closer. "Nah, lucky me," he said, brushing his lips against hers in a soft kiss. The kiss deepened quickly, the heat between them intensifying. Jobe's teeth gently nibbled on Justine's bottom lip, and he couldn't help but look at how great her lips looked. "These lips of yours would feel much better wrapped around me."
Justine pulled back just slightly, catching his gaze with a sharp look. "I could say the same about those pussy-eating lips of yours. You better be good for it, Bellingham."
Jobe smirked, his fingers hooking under the waistband of his joggers. "I'm definitely good for it, Jus." Without breaking eye contact, he yanked both his joggers and boxers down in one smooth motion, letting them ball around his ankles. His erection sprung free, the tip already glistening with arousal.
Justine’s eyes flicked down, and instinctively, her hand wrapped around him, her touch firm yet teasing as she stroked him slowly. Her fingers moved with precision, using the wetness already there to aid her in her movements. Jobe let out a soft groan, loving the way her hand felt on him.
"You swallow, right?" he joked, his voice low and breathy, unable to resist teasing her. Justine's hand tightened around his shaft in response, causing him to release a shaky breath. "I kinda like that rough shit though. Just fair warning."
She shot him a deadly glare. "You wouldn’t like it if I bite it off," she replied, her tone sharp but playful, matching his energy.
"Ooh, is that a promise?" Jobe continued to joke, even though the tightness of her grip had his head spinning. "You’re a lil’ freak, aren’t ya?"
"Shut the fuck up," Justine snapped back with a smirk, then bent forward, her lips parting as she took him into her mouth.
The warmth of her tongue and the wetness of her mouth wrapped around him sent a jolt of pleasure through Jobe’s entire body. He sucked in a breath, his hand instinctively moving to the back of her head, his fingers tangling in her hair. "Fuck," he muttered under his breath, his hips rocking slightly forward, pushing deeper into her mouth.
Justine worked him with skill, her tongue swirling around the tip before she took more of him, bobbing her head slowly at first, then building a steady rhythm. Jobe’s head fell back against the sofa, his hand tightening in her hair as his mind went hazy from the pleasure.
For the first time in a while, he felt like he could just relax. Football was going great, things with Justine were fun and uncomplicated, and he had the whole weekend to look forward to. Life, for now, felt pretty good.
Tumblr media
Lewis lay sprawled on his back, the sheets loosely tangled around his legs, the night air from the open window gently sweeping across the room. Paris glimmered outside, a soft halo of lights casting the room in a muted glow. Beside him, Amara was curled into the crook of his arm, her body warm and soft against his.
Their last night together before she would head back to LA.
He exhaled quietly, staring up at the ceiling as the weight of his thoughts settled in. This season so far had been a blur—races, podiums, media appearances. And now, just a few days in Paris before he headed off to Africa for his summer break then he’d finished out the rest of the F1 season. But this wasn’t what had him distracted. It was Amara. The way things had shifted between them.
Casual wasn’t casual anymore.
They’d made it official. He had never thought it would feel so different, yet it did. He liked it—liked her—but now there was something heavier on his chest. At thirty-nine, Lewis couldn’t help but feel like time was slipping through his fingers. Racing had always been his focus, his purpose. But as the years went by, he started thinking more about what came next. His future. And whether Amara was part of it.
"You're quiet," Amara’s voice broke through his thoughts, her head lifting slightly from his chest to look at him. She wore that smile he had come to like—a mix of warmth and curiosity, like she could read him even when he tried to hide behind silence.
Lewis chuckled softly, his hand brushing through her hair. "Just thinking."
"About what?" she asked, her fingers lazily tracing circles on his skin.
"About you. About us." He paused for a moment, then added, "About where things are going."
Amara shifted, propping herself up on one elbow to get a better look at him. She studied his face, her brow furrowing slightly. "You nervous or something?"
Lewis exhaled, a small smile tugging at his lips. "Not nervous. Just… thinking ahead, I guess."
"About what?"
He hesitated for a second, then let the words spill out. "I’m almost forty, Amara. Racing’s not gonna last forever, and it’s got me wondering what I want when that’s over. Who I want."
Her gaze softened, and she remained silent for a beat, letting his words hang in the air between them. They had been together for a while now, but making it official had added a new layer. It was no longer just about having fun or being in the moment. There was something more real about it now. Something that required them to actually consider the future, together or not.
"I get it," she said finally, her voice soft but steady. "I’ve been thinking about it too."
Lewis glanced at her, slightly surprised. "You have?"
She nodded. "I mean, I’m not getting any younger either. And with so much going on with my modeling career, I’ve been wondering how we’re going to balance this. You’ve got your races, your whole F1 world, and I have my career. It’s a lot."
He ran a hand down his face, feeling the weight of her words settle in. It was a lot. Their lives were worlds apart—him on the road, jumping between cities and circuits, and her life in LA. They had been good at keeping things light, making it work, but now they were both staring at the reality of what this would look like long-term.
"I don’t want to be the guy that holds you back," Lewis said quietly. "Or the one that’s never around because I’m chasing the next race."
Amara looked at him, her hand resting on his chest. "And I don’t want to be the woman who can’t keep up with you, or who’s left behind because your life is moving at a hundred miles per hour."
They both fell silent, the truth of their situation sinking in. There was no easy answer here. No neat solution to make things fit. But at the same time, neither of them was ready to walk away. They were in it now—official, committed—and that meant figuring it out together.
"I’m not saying I’ve got it all figured out," Lewis said after a moment, his voice thoughtful. "But I want to try. I want to see where this can go."
Amara smiled softly, her eyes glimmering in the dim light. "So do I."
They kissed again, a slower, deeper kiss that spoke more of reassurance than passion. When they finally pulled apart, Amara rested her head on his chest once more, her fingers idly playing with the chain around his neck.
"So?" she asked quietly.
Lewis exhaled, staring at the ceiling again. "I'm off to Africa then I have to finish out the season. After that… I don’t know. I guess we figure it out."
Amara nodded against his chest, her voice growing softer as she spoke. "Well, I’ll be here, figuring it out with you."
They lay like that for a while, wrapped in each other’s warmth, letting the weight of the conversation settle into something lighter. The future still felt uncertain, but for now, they were in this together, and that was enough.
As Lewis’s thoughts drifted, he couldn’t help but think about Lila. She was in Madrid right now with Jude and Lewis had to admit, he was starting to like the guy more than he expected. Jude had surprised him—calm, focused, and deeply committed to Lila. It was something he could respect.
He had always been protective of his little sister, especially when it came to guys. But Jude had earned his approval, bit by bit. And now, seeing how happy Lila was, it made him wonder if maybe this thing with Amara could be the real deal too.
"You're thinking about them, aren’t you?" Amara’s voice pulled him back to the present.
Lewis chuckled. "How’d you know?"
"I can tell when your brain’s somewhere else. Lila and Jude, right?"
"Yeah," Lewis admitted. "I didn’t think I’d like him at first. Thought he was too much of a dickhead for her. But now… I don’t know. He’s been good for her. They’ve been good for each other."
Amara smiled. "Sounds like you’re coming around."
Lewis nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "I guess I am."
He thought about how happy Lila seemed with Jude, how they made it work despite their different worlds. It gave him a little bit of hope, knowing that maybe he and Amara could figure things out too.
"You know," he said after a moment, "watching them makes me think about us. And I’m starting to think… maybe we’ve got a shot at this. Even with everything going on."
Amara looked up at him, her eyes warm and steady. "I think so too."
They shared another kiss, slow and tender, before settling back into the comfort of each other’s arms. Tomorrow, Amara would head back to LA, and Lewis would leave Paris to enjoy the rest of his summer break. But tonight, in the quiet of their last night together, they had each other. And for now, that was all that mattered.
Tumblr media
Jude wiped the sweat from his forehead after another grueling day of training in Madrid. As intense as his sessions were, nothing compared to the way his heart soared when he thought about Lila. Waking up and going to bed with her these past few days had been pure bliss, and the fact that she’d be with him for a few more days and joining him in Poland for the UEFA Final against Atalanta kept that dopey grin plastered across his face.
There was also plenty of tea from the day that he couldn’t wait to spill. Shit had been wild recently—Trent broke up with that girl he’d been seeing, an actor's daughter, and was already on the rebound. His barber, Adam, was thinking about having another kid, which seemed crazy, but Adam was in his thirties, so Jude guessed it was expected. Jobe was hanging out with Justine nonstop, even though his little brother swore he wasn’t trying to be in a relationship. Jude wasn’t buying it, though—it sounded like Jobe was real close to the deep in. And then, there was Aurélien and his crazy-ass arranged marriage. It was wild as fuck to Jude.
As soon as Jude got home, he kicked off his football boots at the front door and padded inside, calling out, "Lila!"
"In the kitchen," came her sweet voice, and Jude headed straight there, chuckling. Lila had been spending a lot of time in the kitchen lately, and he wasn’t complaining one bit, especially since her cooking was amazing. Plus, with his mum back in Birmingham for the week, home-cooked meals felt like a luxury.
The delicious smell hit him as soon as he entered the kitchen. "Lila, babes, shit's really hit the fan today," he said, walking up behind her as she stood at the stove. Her petite frame barely cleared the stove itself. He kissed the top of her head and gave her a playful smack on the ass as he made his way to the fridge to grab a Gatorade.
"Jude! Jesus Christ!" Lila yelped, scolding him, but Jude just scoffed as he took a swig of his drink.
"I don’t know why you’re complaining. You damn sure weren’t last night when I had you—"
"Jude Victor William, I hope you aren’t about to say what I think you are?" his mother’s voice suddenly interrupted, shaking him to his core.
"Mmmhmmm, see?" Lila pointed to her phone, which was propped up against a jar of peppers on FaceTime with his mum.
"Li, what the hell? Why didn’t you warn me?" Jude sputtered, quickly closing his Gatorade and trying to put on his most innocent face. "Hi Mummy. How’s Dad?"
His mother rolled her eyes, but there was a smile there. "Your dad’s taking a nap, love. How are you?"
"Can’t complain. Ancelotti’s been working us hard, but you know we’re gonna kick ass on Saturday."
"Language, Jude," she lightly scolded. "But yes, Lila was just telling me how excited she was to visit Poland."
Jude squinted at Lila. "Why’re you chatting with my girl, Mum? Something wrong?"
"I can’t talk to my daughter-in-law now?" his mother asked with mock offense, clutching fake pearls.
"Come off it, Mum," Jude groaned, but then something clicked. "Wait, daughter-in-law? You plottin’ something?"
"Maybe," his mum teased, "but Lila wanted my recipe for pepper steak, so I decided to hop on and give her a step-by-step. We got to talking about other things. Anyway, Lila, just let it simmer for twenty minutes and you know how to plate it with the rice and plantains?"
Jude’s eyes widened at the mention of plantains. "She made plantains too?" He glanced over at the other burner, where a pan of freshly fried plantains sat.
"Wait until dinner is ready, you pest," Lila scolded, swatting him away. She turned back to his mother. "Thank you so much, Denise. I’ll talk to you later."
"Later, Li," his mum said, then directed her goodbye to Jude. "Bye, sweetheart."
"Bye, Mummy." Jude blew her a kiss before she hung up. "Daughter-in-law?" Jude teased Lila as she put the lid on the pot.
Lila laughed and pointed at him. “Didn’t you have something to tell me?”
"Oh right, yeah," Jude said, leaning against the counter. "Remember how I told you about Aurélien and that crazy-ass arranged marriage set up by his parents?"
"Yeah…"
"And that his fiancée’s been living with him in Madrid?"
"Yeah, Jude, this is old news."
"Well, get this: he’s bringing her to Poland with him."
"No fucking way!” Lila’s jaw dropped.
"Way. Told me he doesn’t want her to ‘feel lonely or some shit’.” Jude put up air quotes and tried his best to mimic Aurélien’s French accent. "But he’s not slick. Apparently, her father’s a nightmare, and you know how Aurélien gets when he’s protective, so she’s tagging along. He even wanted me to ask you if you’d hang out with her in the stands."
"Wow, that’s major!" Lila said, wide-eyed.
"Right?” Jude laughed.
"Her name’s Zuri?"
"Yeah."
"Wait, hold on a second." Lila grabbed her phone, pulling up Instagram.
Jude leaned over. "Are you stalking her?"
"Well, you’ve met her before. I don’t even know what she looks like, so of course, I’m stalking her."
Jude chuckled, letting her logic win. After a few taps and scrolls, she finally found Zuri’s profile. "Oh, she’s pretty! I love her tooth gem."
"Yeah, she’s a real nice girl," Jude said, sneaking over to grab a plantain from the pan.
"JUDE!" Lila pinched his side, making him flinch and giggle.
"Stop it, woman! You know I’m ticklish there!" he protested.
"Serves you right for trying to eat all my plantains. Dinner’s almost ready," Lila scolded, smiling.
Jude couldn’t help but pull her close, kissing her deeply. "I love you, Lila," he murmured, eyes soft but full of intensity.
"I love you more, Jude," she whispered back, her gaze never leaving his.
Jude held Lila close, her warmth enveloping him in a way nothing else ever could. He couldn’t help but smile as he pressed his forehead to hers, his heart swelling with something far deeper than affection. It was as though every moment they spent together reminded him just how lucky he was to have her in his life. He never thought that after all those months of pining over her on social media, she would become his entire world. But here they were. His girl. His everything.
Jude thought back to the way he’d once daydreamed about what it would be like to hold her, to kiss her, and now it was his daily reality. And he still couldn’t get enough. Her laughter, the way she danced around the house in his oversized shirts, how she always knew just when he needed to be comforted or teased—it all felt surreal.
He couldn’t imagine his life without her now. Training, matches, and everything else seemed like background noise when compared to her presence. Lila was the one thing that made sense in all the chaos. The grounding force that kept him centered when everything around him felt like it was moving too fast.
Pulling back slightly, Jude cupped her face in his hands, his thumb brushing over her cheek. "You know you're it for me, right?" he said quietly, his voice tinged with a vulnerability he rarely showed. "I don't need anything else. Just you."
Lila smiled up at him, her heart-shaped lips curving into that sweet smile that had him hooked from the beginning. "I'm not going anywhere," she whispered. "You're stuck with me, Jude Bellingham."
As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Jude realized this was what he'd always wanted. Not the fame, not the attention, but the quiet moments like these. The ones where he could just be Jude, not a football star, not someone always in the spotlight. Just a man, hopelessly in love with the woman who made his life feel complete.
This was it. His endgame.
And for the first time in a long time, Jude felt like he had everything he needed.
THE END......
PLEASE CHECK OUT FOULED BY FATE BUT FIRST....
June 2030
Six years had passed since Jude Bellingham first fell in love with Delilah Hamilton, but he hadn’t been able to wait until he was twenty-eight to marry her. Miraculously, he made it to twenty-seven, although Lord knows he wanted to marry her the same year they got together. Instead, they’d spent their years soaking up every bit of life: endless vacations, family gatherings, navigating hard times together. Jude had won two Ballon d'Ors, led England to two Euro championships, and they’d watched Lewis claim his rightful eighth and ninth World Drivers’ Championships (really his ninth and tenth, if you know you know) before retiring three years ago—but he's still involved, serving none other than Chief Strategic Partnerships & Marketing Officer of Formula 1. He even helped led Real Madrid to another UEFA Champions League win last year and then he finally proposed to Lila on Valentine’s Day.
Now, months later, today was here—their wedding day.
The setting was perfect: Lewis’ villa in Tuscany, Italy, where the sun cast a golden glow across the vineyard-covered hills. Jude smiled to himself, grateful to his future brother-in-law for footing the bill for this extravagant celebration, though he swore he’d pay him back—maybe by babysitting his and Amara’s three kids, which would be a task in itself. Lewis had married Amara just before Jude and Lila celebrated their second anniversary, and now their family was complete with three lively little girls whom Lila adored. She always played with them, spoiled them with gifts, and Jude loved watching her transform into "Auntie Lila" whenever they were around.
As for their own wedding, Jude didn’t care about the details—he just wanted to marry her. The flowers, the decorations, the grand design? All of Lila’s ideas, every last touch, from the romantic white rose arrangements to the silk drapery, yet Jude counted down the minutes until she became his wife.
In the groom's room, Jude was getting ready with his closest mates and his brother—Jobe, Trent, Camavinga, Aurélien, Odin, Toby, Noah, and of course, Lewis. The atmosphere was a mix of excitement and banter as they adjusted their tuxedoes, smoked cigars, and exchanged light banter.
Just then, the door creaked open to reveal Zuri, Aurélien’s wife, her baby bump noticeable under the flowy gown she wore. At seven months pregnant with their second child, she still moved with the quickness of a New Yorker. Zuri whispered something to Aurélien, and his brow furrowed.
"Another blowout?" he asked, kissing his teeth in exasperation. It was clearly about their 10-month-old son, Etiénne. "I’ll be right back," Aurélien sighed, "Eti had another blowout."
"Damn, what are you guys feeding him?" Trent joked as he tightened his bow tie.
"Seriously," Jobe added with a laugh. "Give him some medicine or something. Poor lil' dude has to have tummy issues."
Aurélien just shook his head and left the room. Zuri was about to follow him, but Jude caught her wrist, his eyes full of curiosity.
"How’s Li doin’?" he asked, the nervousness finally creeping into his voice.
Zuri gave him a pointed look and folded her arms over her bump. "No, I can't tell you anything."
"What? Not even if she's okay?" Jude added, flashing her his signature puppy dog eyes. "Please, Zu, just tell me."
"Fine," Zuri groaned dramatically, then leaned in. "She’s eating… and crying because your Mum gifted her something blue. It was your grandmother's earrings."
Of course, she was crying. Lila had been an emotional wreck all week, but Jude felt warmth flood his chest knowing his mum had gifted Lila such a meaningful heirloom.
"At least she's eating," Jude mused.
"Yeah… weird stuff too… like she’s—" Zuri stopped mid-sentence, cutting a sharp glance at Jude. Leaning closer, she whispered in his ear, "She's pregnant?"
Jude just nodded, unable to hide the smug grin that spread across his face.
"Wow, wasted no time, did you?" Zuri teased, her eyes widening in disbelief.
Jude shrugged with a grin. "They both have my last name, so it doesn’t matter."
Zuri shook her head, laughing softly before she slipped out of the room. Jude couldn’t help but think about the promise he’d made—how he wouldn’t get Lila pregnant before they hit their first anniversary as husband and wife. Well, so much for that plan. But as far as he was concerned, it could be worse. At least by the time Baby JB made his or her entrance, Lila would officially be Mrs. Delilah Hamilton-Bellingham.
With final adjustments made to their tuxes and a few snaps from the wedding photographer, the guys made their way to the ceremony’s venue–a small, recently renovated church located on the tail end of Lewis’ estate. As Jude walked down the aisle, shaking hands and receiving well-wishes from guests, his heart raced faster with every step. His friends and family were all there—teammates, coaches, Lila’s family, and more. But his focus was on what came next: the moment he'd been waiting for.
The groomsmen filed down the aisle, followed by the bridesmaids, with Jade, Lila’s best friend, as her matron of honor. Then the air shifted. The anticipation grew as every guest stood to witness the bride’s arrival.
The French doors opened, and there she was.
Lila walked down the aisle, arm in arm with her father, Anthony, who kept wiping tears of joy from his face. She looked radiant in her princess-style wedding dress, lace veil, and the long train reminiscent of Princess Diana’s iconic gown. "Ave Maria" filled the air, and Jude’s breath caught in his throat as he saw her. She looked every bit like an angel—his angel.
A single tear slipped from his eye, and he quickly wiped it away, only for more to follow as Lila got closer. Finally, she stood in front of him, the woman he’d loved for years.
"Who gives this woman away?" asked the priest.
Anthony, overcome with emotion, was bawling, unable to speak. Lewis stepped forward from the groomsmen to comfort their father as the murmurs in the crowd grew. After hugging both his son and daughter, Anthony finally managed to choke out, "I give her away," before placing Lila’s hand into Jude’s.
Jude looked down at Lila’s veil-covered face, her eyes brimming with tears, her cheeks stained from the emotions of the day. He couldn’t stop himself from whispering, "I love you, Lila Bila."
"I love you more, Judey Bear," she whispered back.
They barely registered the priest’s words about marriage and its tribulations. All that mattered was this moment—just the two of them, standing together, ready to start the rest of their lives.

"Would you like some tea?"
My sweet boy doll wanted a talkbox.
He has been doing so well at becoming a doll, embracing the stillness, and enjoying being posed.
He's even feeling the clothes I dress him in.
And now it was time to move a step deeper into dollhood.
He has let me in to control his body, now it is time for his voice to be left in my care.
He adored being like a Victorian doll, with elegant clothes and an air of grace, and so we sculpted this idea that he was a sweet maid doll always ready to serve.
I brought him onto my lap, wove my ribbon between my fingers as I constructed the spell, and then spoke the ribbon into him.
That Miss Saphi was alleviating him of another burden; of knowing what to say or when to say it.
When he woke, he found himself so happy with his new vocabulary.
"How was that, sweet boy?" "I'm a good boy!" "Mhm, the spell feels good doesn't it?" "Would you like some tea?" "Someone's feeling excited, isn't he?" "I am Miss Saphi's good doll!"
When I gave him his words back, his breath was heaving with arousal. To have something so personal be bound in my ribbon and shaped struck him so deeply.
Sweetly and quietly, he asked to be played with.
My heart leapt at the chance, I felt so proud of him that he wanted to explore playing further.
So I gave him permission to play, to reach down and satisfy himself.
He warned me that he was a quiet doll, but he made such sweet sounds for me. The sweetest moans and whimpers.
That was until I shaped his words again.
"Is my doll getting closer?" "I- am- Miss Saphi's-- goOod d-oll!" "Aww, does my sweet boy want to cum? "I'm a good boy!" "Well go on, my doll, you've earned it" "Would you l-l-l-ike so- ome teeEEeeeaaa......"
He came so well for me, his elation shaped by my spell.
I soften his body and cooed to him in the aftercare, I was so proud of him.
Then with his face buried in his hands he confessed something to me.
Offering to serve me tea like a good maid boy while in the throes of pleasure was one of the hottest things he's ever done.

Pas de Deux Chapter 5
Din Djarin x f!reader | 2.9k | fic masterlist | main masterlist | ao3
Tumblr media
chapter summary: It's time for the first mixed program of the spring schedule, and so it's finally time to see Din perform.
a/n: Thank you everyone for your lovely comments on the last chapter. Everything still feels pretty shitty but being part of this community does not! See my notes at the end and on the masterlist about reader in this fic and ballet in general. Thank you @katareyoudrilling for being the best beta, as always!!
chapter tags/warnings: gen, ballet terms (see end notes and the masterlist for definitions and videos), a bit more angst (sorry), but we also have fluff
Chapter 5
In stark contrast to that disaster of a rehearsal, your performance in the January program went well. The first night had its usual jitters, but even so, you felt proud of the performance you and the others put on. And Jee had been excited and full of praise, with only a couple of notes about the choreography, which made you more excited for the next performance.
On Friday, though, you had a small costume malfunction, and so you were busy getting stuck with pins and missed Din’s solo. You heard the music from La Bayadère start and cursed — you knew you wouldn’t be back in time.
On Saturday, you saw it. You saw him.
You were standing in the wings, huddled with Adrian and a small group of dancers when Din’s music began. Everyone backstage quieted as soon as the orchestra began. He was wearing a sort-of doublet and white tights that screamed classical ballet. He started in the wings just in front of you and you watched the line of his neck and back as he walked calmly onto the stage.
You knew Talia had chosen three of Solor’s variations from different versions of the ballet. She had Din moving off stage and back on to continue with the three solos that usually appeared at different moments throughout the long performance. Three demanding solos, all in a row.
The music swelled and Din swept his arm upward and, from his first movement, he stole your breath away. Your eyes followed the sheer height of his jumps, the beautiful lines of his extensions. You couldn’t help but marvel at the perfection of his technique, the absolute ease of his movements. You watched the flex of his muscles and wondered at his strength. He made everything look effortless. He had such control, but none of that showed — his face was calm, expression serene. 
You tightened your hold on Adrian’s hand.
Din dipped into the wings and back out for the second variation, and you felt someone next to you suck in a sharp breath when Din launched himself into the air into a double saut de basque in attitude followed by a revoltade. How did he look so weightless?
Talia had been right — this was the perfect way to showcase the absolute phenomenon that was Din Djarin. His strength, his precision, his control, his power, his grace: all of it was on display. 
In the third variation, you assumed he must have been tired. But he soared through multiple double assemblé turns with such ease, it looked like he was floating. 
When he fell into his final pose, the audience lost their minds.
You looked at Adrian, and he looked at you, eyebrows high. 
“That was insane,” Adrian whispered, and you nodded. “I knew he was good, but oh my god.”
You agreed. And you couldn’t help but start to worry, again, about the pas de deux. How were you supposed to partner someone who danced like that? 
You worried over that question so much over the next few days that the words started to feel meaningless in your mind. You found yourself waking up too early, too anxious to sleep. It was only a matter of time before that started to show in your dancing. 
In class you didn’t look at Din. You knew you were letting this grow into something in your mind that it probably wasn’t, but you couldn’t get a handle on it. You’d been through this before — moments where all you could see were your own flaws — but none of the tricks you’d learned over the years to claw your way out of it were working this time.
By Thursday, you were so anxious about the entire thing that it must have shown on your face, or in your body. Adrian took one look at you after morning class and pulled you into the smaller, sad break room (with the couch everyone hated) to make you breathe with him until you calmed down.
“Look at me,” he said after you’d taken several deep breaths in unison, squeezing your hand. “You can do this. One practice isn’t enough to make or break anything, you know that. You’ve been there before.”
You nodded, closing your eyes and clutching his hand with both of yours. 
“He’s good, we’ve all seen it. But so are you.” Adrian’s voice was firm and you tried to believe it, too. “And you know Kuiil picked you for a reason. Think about it — Din Djarin has never danced anything remotely like this choreography. On Saturday he was doing what he’s best at, and of course it was freaking amazing. But you’re better at this.”
He was right. You let that truth of it settle somewhere in your chest. You felt at home in more contemporary ballet choreography, and to your knowledge Din had never so much as tried it. Concordia would never even consider it, that much was definitely true.
“You can do both, you know? I bet that was part of it. Casting someone who could show him how to let go of what he knows. He isn’t going to be the only person in that room who’s an expert on something.”
You took a deep breath and opened your eyes. When you met Adrian’s gaze, he smiled. “There you are. You ready?”
You nodded. “I can do this.” You couldn’t let yourself get in your head like that. You knew better.
“Hell yeah, you can. Come on.” He stood and tugged you to your feet, and then grabbed your shoulders. “Go fucking blow him away, ok? I know you can.” He shook you a little, and you laughed.
“Ok! Ok. I can do this.”
You tried to let that run through your mind like a mantra as you stepped into the small rehearsal studio. You can do this. 
Kuiil and Din were standing by the sound equipment again. As always, Din was wearing black tights, black sweats cut off at the knees, and a tight, long-sleeve black shirt. You pointedly did not let your eyes linger on the line of his shoulders.
“Come in, my dear. We are going to start with something different today.”
You tried not to wince as Kuiil beckoned you forward, remembering the disaster of the week before.
“Today I will give each of you part of your solo pieces for the start, and I would like you to watch each other as you learn and begin to practice them.” He looked at each of you in turn as you nodded. “I want you to pay attention to each other. How do your bodies move as you learn? How do you come to inhabit the movement? How do you each make it your own?” He gestured between you. “As you know, after these moments, you will encounter each other on stage for the first time. Think about what that would feel like, as you watch each other today.”
You nodded again, frowning a little as you tried to work out what he wanted from you. To watch, to observe? To notice something new? To watch as if you’d never seen before? You supposed you could only watch and try and see what you found. 
“Let us begin.”
He started with you. It was only a few counts of 8, a few moments following the wandering path of the violin in the music. What he gave you was very bare bones — you knew, from working with him in the past, that he sometimes wanted you to find your own way to connect things together. Kuiil always wanted his dancers to put themselves into his choreography.
You realized, after he had shown you everything he wanted to, that you hadn’t even looked or spared a thought for Din as you focused on the steps and the music. You were feeling better, more confident, focusing on choreography that played to your own strengths as a dancer.
“Good. Now, give it a try with the music a couple of times, and then I will show Din how he will begin. Do not be afraid to try different things as you let the movements settle.”
You nodded and took up the first position he’d shown you, arms extended a bit behind you. He started the music and you moved, finding your way through the moments Kuiil wanted in this brief part of the first movement. You let yourself sink into the music and the choreography, trying to feel it more than think about it. You whipped through turns and flicked your leg, almost smiling when your développé was timed perfectly to the music. There were moments that felt more awkward, moments you knew you’d need to work on, but overall you felt the weight in your chest lighten as you danced. You can do this.
Kuiil stopped the music just after you found the final position, and you sucked in a deep breath as you relaxed out of it and turned to look at him. 
“Very well done, my dear. I can see the shape of it forming. One more time, and then we will switch. Try to smooth out that transition into the turn.” You nodded, but your curiosity got the better of you and you darted a glance to Din.
He was watching you intently, which you supposed was only following Kuiil’s directions. But for once his face wasn’t expressionless.
Din was smiling. It was a small thing, barely there, but it took your breath away.
Adrian was waiting for you after your rehearsal, and for once you were out the door and down the hall before Din.
“So?” He raised his eyebrows at you as he tucked his arm through yours, leading you down the hall to your rehearsal for the February mixed program. You were both in the same piece, for once, a collaboration between Jee and Vince. “How did it go?”
You told him all about it, about the way Kuiil had split the time between you. “Maybe he realized we need to get used to each other first? But we didn’t really do a lot of that, we didn’t even talk to each other much.”
“But you look like you feel better about it.”
You nodded. “Yeah, I mean, I got to do what I’m good at.”
“Hmm.” Adrian looked thoughtful. “I think that makes sense, though. Letting you learn about each other’s style.”
You shrugged. “Well, maybe. I guess we’ll see next time. But Adrian… he smiled at me.”
“Who, Kuiil?”
“No,” you almost whispered, glancing around the hall. “Din.”
Adrian’s jaw dropped as you led him through the door for your second rehearsal. “What,” he hissed, but there wasn’t time for him to ask you for more details. You put it out of your mind. You had to focus on the dance in front of you, anyway.
You took that motivation forward through your weekend and the next week of rehearsals. You had so many performances coming up — the February mixed program, Midsummer, and then after that, Swan Lake. And another mixed program in April. And Cinderella. You usually didn’t let yourself think that far ahead — you had so many rehearsals, and so much physical therapy, that you tried to focus on the next performance and maybe the one after. The ones that were right in front of you.
But it was a helpful distraction, for once, thinking through the rest of your season. 
You knew Din had joined the Balanchine ballet for the February mixed program, and you knew those rehearsals were heating up. So you barely saw him outside of morning classes, and you’d been trying not to watch him as much. You wondered, a bit, if you should try to talk to him again, but you weren’t sure what you’d say. Hey, let’s get to know each other so we can actually dance together? 
That one smile aside, he was still so closed off you weren’t sure how to bring yourself to try.
The Thursday of your third rehearsal with Kuiil arrived, and you moved quickly down the hallway, almost running — your rehearsal for Midsummer had gone long and you didn’t want to be late.
You turned the corner, moving quickly, and let out an “oomph” as you almost slammed into someone. You felt strong hands come up to steady you and once again blinked up to find Din looking down at you. His large hands were warm where they rested on your waist. 
“Shit,” you cursed. “Din, sorry, I was —” you took a deep breath. “Sorry. I was running late. Obviously.” 
His face was, of course, expressionless once more, but you could have sworn you saw the tiniest lift in the corner of his mouth as he looked at you. “It’s ok. I’m late, too.”
You smiled at him, hesitant, hoping to find that bit of ease you’d briefly had together before your rehearsals started. “Balanchine?”
He nodded. “Balanchine.”
You stepped back a bit and ignored the way it felt when his hands slid from your waist and brushed over your hips before falling by his sides. “How’s it going?”
Din fell into step beside you as you started to walk towards the small rehearsal studio where Kuiil would be waiting for you. “Good. They hadn’t rehearsed much when I started, so it was easier to step in and join one of the pairs.”
“Who have they paired you with?” Symphony in C featured four principal couples, and many of them had danced together for years at this point.
He nodded, seeming to understand your question. “Yuna. They hadn’t finalized that pairing yet, so it was easy to step in. And we didn’t do a ton of Balanchine at CBC, but I’ve danced the first before.”
That made sense. Yuna had just made principal this year, and had yet to form a strong connection with any of the others. You couldn’t imagine them breaking up the pairing of Mira and Diego, for example, or giving Din the adagio in the second movement, when he barely knew anyone yet. And that role, the pair featured in the first movement, was tough. It was perfect for him.
“Yuna’s great. She’s so good at partnering, too.” You could almost see Talia’s vision for them, in your mind — she and Din would dance beautifully together.
You’d arrived at your studio, but before you could step inside, Din said, “she said the same thing about you.”
You froze as Din moved past you into the studio. He had talked about you? With someone else? You stepped inside, in a bit of a daze, as you tried not to wonder what they’d talked about.
Later, during rehearsal, you clung to that positive moment in your mind, because it felt like the first rehearsal all over again. Kuill had you both run through the sections he’d shown you the week before and then returned to the moment you met on stage for the first time. But you could tell from the start that it hadn’t gotten better.
Somehow, it had gotten worse.
You’d lost count of how many times you’d tried it so far, but you took a deep breath as the music started. You started your pass across the floor, leaping into an attitude before rolling out of it. You were supposed to stand and find Din in front of you, except he wasn’t where you expected him to be, so it didn’t quite work. And then the moment passed. 
No matter how hard you tried, you and Din couldn’t seem to find each other at all, throughout the rehearsal. You had no idea why you couldn’t seem to connect with him. Were you feeling the music differently? He felt so distant from you, even standing only a few feet away. Your movements felt separate, like you were on two separate stages, rather than sharing one space together. 
You could feel the frustration begin to build from the base of your spine. You didn’t understand how you could have such an easy conversation with him in the hall and then hit this wall inside the studio, where it should have been easier to connect with him. It had never been this difficult for you to get to know another dancer before.
“Alright.” Kuiil stopped the music and you tried not to read into his tone. “That is enough for today. I know you have the mixed program this weekend. Focus on that, clear your minds, and next week we begin again.”
As you started to leave, feeling defeated, Kuiil called you back. You turned and saw Din hurry out the door in the mirror. You caught a glimpse of his expression as he did and realized he was frowning. Your own mouth turned down in response. 
“My dear, I can see that you are frustrated.” You nodded. As he’d said before, your body couldn’t lie. “I want you to think about something before our next practice. How did you learn to connect with other dancers on stage?”
You thought about it for a moment. “Through movement, I suppose. And interpreting the choreography together.”
Kuiil nodded. “How is it different, when you are performing different styles?”
You blinked. You suddenly understood where he was leading you. “In classical pieces, it’s more pre-defined. It’s constrained. The connection, I mean. And how we are able to express it.”
He nodded again. “Think about that, as you rehearse this week. And we will try again.”
prev | next
a/n: so 👀 how do you think the next one will go 👀🩰
Solor - this is a very difficult, technical role in a famous classical ballet, La Bayadère! Here’s a really long video of an almost complete performance by Sergei Polunin. The exact number of variations/solos that Solor has can vary by production but there could be as many as three, one per act, and I decided to make Din do all of them. Here’s one, two (and another one, and another, and another), and three with the double assembles. You may have noticed that the second variation can have a lot of different jumps in it – I stole the idea for the double saut de basque and revoltades (and another) from a couple places. I know I saw someone doing the double saut de basque in attitude where most of these men are doing a double saut de basque en dedans (both are in that video) but now I can’t find it.
Symphony in C - a very NYC Ballet piece choreographed by George Balanchine. It’s basically 100% focused on technique and it’s hard!! There are four principal couples featured in four movements. Din joins the first couple. Reader also mentioned the third. This is the sort of performance CBC would have been less likely to do, but it’s so technical and classical they would have added it to their repertoire to broaden it without moving from their classical stance. Here’s a recording of the whole thing from 1973.
Classical ballet - I’ve mentioned this before, but now I’ll say that not everyone would interpret classical ballet the same way. Din’s previous company was on the more strict end of the spectrum. We’ll learn more soon!
I know I've mentioned attitude before, but this time we also see a développé!
tag list coming in a reblog!

rating the volo voice lines from pokemon masters ex as i hear them for the first time
youtube
“I’m Volo of the Ginkgo Guild, the go-to choice for your mercantile needs.” 
Sounds like he’s practicing his merchant persona in front of a mirror. Very pleased with his own performance. Might break out into song about it. 8/10
“Allow me to present this to you.” 
Spot-on cadence of Chris Traeger from Parks and Recreation. 4/10
“Here’s a special treat for you!” 
Creepy. Feels like he’s going to hand me a bomb. 2/10
“Oh! It’s looking lively around here.” 
Sounds like he thinks he’s too cool for the party you’ve both walked into and wants to know that you hate it too. 7/10
“What a joy to be alive!” 
Said with the paradoxical determination and resignation of someone who values his own life too highly to end it, but hates that life so fucking bad. 10/10
“Oh! My heart is racing with excitement!” 
Sounds like he just made himself think of something he actually cares about in order to generate enthusiasm about your thing. Also, overdoing it on the “oh,” there. 7/10
“If we use this well, the world will open up.” 
Whatever you say, beautiful. What are we talking about? 8/10 
“I like you better and better!” 
He’s telling the truth, but he likes me for reasons way less innocent and simple than my continued business. Regardless, the praise is appreciated. 10/10 
“Fancy running into you again!” 
Two possibilities: he very intentionally arranged this meeting and is pretending to be surprised, or he was surprised by the meeting and is pretending to be chill about it. 8/10 
“Maybe we’ll get to know each other better now!” 
Sounds like he’s about to ask for my social security number, and if I’m into men, and if I’m into giving men my social security number. 6/10
“Of course. I’d be glad to help.” 
He’s foaming at the mouth to involve himself in whatever protagonist shit I’m up to right now. 9/10
“I can see a whole new world!” 
According to Bulbapedia, he says this “upon reaching max level.” Is that like a relationship level? Does that mean I’m his world? Knowing his motivations in PLA, this could easily have a double meaning—getting close to me, and therefore Arceus, allows him to create a new world. This concerns me less because of the world erasure thing, and more because it might mean he doesn’t actually care about me. 1/10 
“Let the battle begin!” 
Doing a pretty good job sounding normal with this one. 3/10 
��That’s it! Go right ahead!” 
According to Bulbapedia he’s saying this to Togepi, which is very sweet. Also explains why it doesn’t sound fake as hell. 10/10 
“Here you are!” 
He says this to Togepi when he gives her an item in battle, I’m assuming a potion? Which is, again, extremely sweet. 10/10 
“Pay me later!” 
He says this while “using Trainer move,” which I assume is like his signature flourish during battle. The reference to his merchant persona is clever and he sounds like he’s very proud of it. I’m amused by the implication that I’m supposed to pay him for something, though. Is he helping me or battling me? Both? What are we, Volo? 4/10
“Delightful!” 
Accompanies the “nice” emote. I’m not going to complain. 5/10
“Careful now!” 
Accompanies the “watch out” emote. He sounds concerned, but like, in a “please don’t inconvenience me with your pain” way. I wish he truly cared, but maybe if I lie to myself, I can believe that he does. 3/10 
“I’m filled with curiosity!” 
Said with the exact cadence of Grunkle Stan talking to idiot tourists at the Mystery Shack. Ostensibly laughing at himself, but actually laughing at the people who are stupid enough to believe him. 9/10
“Pokemon battles are always good fun!” 
He only says this when he wins, which means they’re not always good fun. Makes perfect sense for the character and I like the delivery. 8/10 
“Too powerful…” 
He says, actively fantasizing about eventually proving himself more powerful. 10/10 
“BEHOLD! DESTINY! LEGENDS! UNDONE!” 
Bulbapedia identifies these words as things he yells during “unity attack/theme skill.” I have no idea what that means. It sounds to me like he’s accidentally taken a double dose of his ADHD stimulant medication and is just saying whatever the fuck comes to mind. 6/10 
“Allow me!” 
Said while “switching in.” Assuming he’s helping me, this is rather nice to hear. I’m more than happy to set this strange contemptuous man on my battle opponent. 9/10 
“Oh dear, that’s too bad.” 
Said while “recalling fainted Pokemon.” Option 1: He’s recalling his Togepi and trying very hard to sound brave about it. 10/10. Option 2: He’s taunting me about my fainted Pokemon with a sickly-sweet condescending tone. Also 10/10. 
“Good morning! Are you heading out today?” 
I appreciate the casual greeting and barely-contained rabid interest in my protagonist activities. 8/10 
“In that case, potions are a must.” 
Thoughtful and dedicated to his quotas. It does feel like he’s five seconds from calling me “milady,” though. Wait, in PLA I think he actually does that. It might be “madam.” He’s so embarrassing. 7/10 
“The weather outsider is lovely today.” 
Sounds like he’s about to take his lunch break so we can enjoy it together. 8/10 
“So, how about it? Care to go on an outing with me?” 
Already beat him to it. He’s trying so hard to sound chill, but I think if I said no it would ruin his day. Also, what’s with “outing?” Just say “date.” The game knows you’re saying “date.” This is a dating sim. 10/10
“Please, don’t overexert yourself too late at night. I don’t want to lose one of my loyal customers!” 
First, that’s what she said. 6/10. Second, he’s negging me again. 9/10. Third, he has other loyal customers?! 0/10
“Ah!”
Sounds like the peanut butter baby from that 2016 viral video. 4/10
“Rrrrrrr…” 
Nintendog. 7/10
*Sighs deeply* 
Agreed. 9/10
“Yes.” 
Me when I say “yes.” 5/10 
*Increasingly loud fake bouts of laughter* 
This man is going to end up on the news. 10/10
*Evil chuckle, tapering off into deranged humming* 
This man is going to end up at the Tony Awards. 10/10 
*Bitchy throat clear that turns into a laugh* 
This is how he laughs at the PLA protagonist after he insults their “curious getup.” 10/10
“Outstanding!” 
He’s high, tipsy, and/or sleep deprived, and someone just suggested getting takeout. 6/10 
“As expected…” 
Apropos of nothing, but he does like to feel smart. 7/10 
“CONGRAAAAAAATULATIONS!!!” 
This is perfect. This is a perfect voice line. The voice actor understands the comedy of Volo’s character perfectly. Divine madness aside, he is a merchant NPC almost obsessively invested in the protagonist’s adventures—but unlike many such cases, the narrative both understands and demonstrates how fucking weird and off-putting that is. 1000000/10 
“I wish you great fortune.” 
Reminds me of the PLA line, “Supporting you now is actually an investment in my own fortunes.” The voice actor nails the double meaning. 7/10 
“HOOOOW DARE????!!!!” 
I can’t find an explanation for this line. I think it’s just random. He’s so fucking weird. Did he read that in a book? Is he in a bad play? 10/10 
*Whimpering* 
Took a quick break to walk around my apartment and poorly make the bed. No further comment. ?/10
*Relieved sigh* 
It’s a relieved sigh. 
*Literal actual moaning* 
???????????????????
*Various other noises* 
The people in the comments of this video were not exaggerating. Holy shit. 
“Have some mercy!” 
WHAT IS THIS GAME RATED??????
*Deep sigh* “Now then…” 
I have no words. I don’t know. Why does this exist in the way it exists. 
“Right! Thank you!” 
I feel like I just witnessed something that I did not ask to witness. Does the Ginkgo Guild have a HR department? 
“My apologies.” 
That is not helping his case. 
“Leave it to me!” 
Good voice line. Great performance. He would say that. We’re back on track, love it. 5/10 
“No thank yewwwwww…” 
Bitch. 8/10 
“Please!”
“Indeed…” 
“That is quite something!” 
All very normal. 5/10 
“You’re too kind.” 
This is the weirdest line delivery yet. He sounds unhinged. Something happened around the 1:19 point of this video that neither of us can pretend didn’t happen. ???/10 
“Until next time.” 
Spoken like a charming male musical theater lead who just did a little song and dance about his life philosophy. 9/10 
“Come on, now.” 
Getting weird again. There is nothing I could possibly possess that would necessitate that amount of beleaguered desperation. 6/10
“Let’s get our blood pumping!” 
Not on the first date—sorry, outing. ?/10 
“The mysteries of the past… oH-hO! How they tICKle my curiosity!” 
Sure. Why not. 5/10 
“Investigating the odd and novel is key to any good merchant’s success.” 
This is delivered pretty much how I would imagine in the game! Also just such a fun line for him—he says this as if it makes all the sense in the world, but it literally doesn’t? It’s a total non-sequitor. Investigating the odd and novel have nothing to do with being a successful merchant, and later in the game he even admits to ditching work to do his research. I’ve always appreciated that part of his characterization—the way he knows that he’s bullshitting everyone and getting away with it, and is simultaneously so smug about his clever ruse and so miserable to be alone in his truth. 10/10
“A HISTORIC MOMENT!” 
Deeply bizarre final line for a deeply bizarre character. I hope he says this about mundane shit like dropping a cup of coffee or getting an email. 10/10.

I feel like maybe shen jiu might not like blue/green (the original word '青' is character that can be used for both) because he was made to wear it, being the qing jing peak uniform colour.
He probably hated violet from his time in the qiu manor, and wouldn't have worn colours when he was with wu yanzi because a) poor and b) draws attention (which is obv bad for robbing and murder 😍).
So he gets to CQMS and maybe he was the tiniest bit excited to be there (and be a proper cultivator), only to have any shred of hope burnt away with how he is treated by his martial siblings, how he felt left behind with his cultivation being damaged/flawed, riddled with heart demons from thinking his only friend had left him to be beaten, starved and treated as less than an animal.
But he couldn't leave the sect because he didn't have any other viable option, (and he still held hope that maybe something HAD happened and qi ge did want/try to come back) but yue qi said nothing and now he is stuck in the place that turned him into yue qingyuan.
From one owner to the next, violet and green are both like a shackle to him. Violet reminding him of the worst years of his life and green reminding him of all the ridicule he faced in cqms + the whole rich boy persona he feels he has to put on and that he is never free to be himself. (or that he won't be loved/accepted because the one person he was himself around supposedly left him to die😘)
ANYWAYS 🤗🤭 here is shen jiu in orange, he snuck away to a secret place to take a rest in a colour that reminds him of something nicer, like a ripe fruit.
THE END HAHAHAH
.

I'm working on making better backgrounds, the colour palette for this is so pretty and I'm proud :>

Stay away from that man, Stephanie!
Context: If you know about Kyle Rayner, you will get why Stephanie needs to stay far away from that man. She already fake died once!
Stephanie (grinning widely, bouncing on her seat): He was so cute, dude. I learned his name… Kyle Rayner.
Dick spat out his drink, shocked, the liquid splattering Damian in the face. Damian glared, his eyes narrowing, then angrily stood up to grab a washcloth and clean his new soda-covered face.
Dick (coughing a little, wide-eyed): I’m sorry, there was something in my soda. I wasn’t reacting to what you said, but um… his name again?
Stephanie (smitten, dreamily sighing): Kyle Rayner. He’s super cute, and he even finished my joke!
Cass (raising an eyebrow, intrigued): Oh, that’s actually a good sign. I know how you are with quips. What happened next?
Stephanie (lightly pounding her fist on her knee, excitement bubbling over): Flipping B literally walked me away from the guy. Then he made a joke about my favorite show using my hero name as a quip. I was ready to hand him my number, and then he carried me away!
Dick brought his hands together, silently thanking his father for getting her out of there. Stephanie took this as a sign he was on her team, her smile growing.
Stephanie (leaning in, conspiratorial): I know, right?! He is such an overprotective hero. I’m not even his kid like that!
Cass (nodding, understanding): Well, you know how Bruce is; he wants to keep his family safe. Be proud you’re part of it if he acts like that.
Dick (whispering, concerned, glancing away): You have no idea.
Stephanie (sighing dramatically, placing a hand over her heart): I might never get another chance to meet that hottie again! I could’ve taken my shot like Tim did with Konnor.
Dick grimaced, tapping his index fingers together, contemplating.
Dick (in his head, feeling uneasy): Konnor’s last girlfriend didn’t end up stuffed in a fridge.
Cass, oblivious to Kyle's past, placed a reassuring hand on Stephanie's shoulder for support, her eyes sparkling with a sudden idea.
Cass (stating the obvious, with enthusiasm, leaning closer): Why don’t you go talk to him?
Stephanie (rolling her eyes, sarcastically): Oh, yeah, sure!
Cassandra (encouragingly, grinning wider): What? Just tell him he’s cute and that you’d like to exchange numbers. What’s the worst that could happen?
Stephanie (worried, biting her lip): They could hear me and then laugh in my face.
Dick shook his head, his eyes wide and serious, keeping his thoughts to himself.
Dick (in his head, feeling a sense of dread): That’s not the worst that could happen.
Cass (smiling, reminiscing, softly nudging her): Come on, I did that with my current partner. She’s so sweet, too. It was worth it.
Stephanie (playfully teasing, raising an eyebrow): Oh, you aren’t with that guy anymore?
Cass shook her head with a small frown, her lips pressing together, but shrugged it off quickly.
Cass (sighing, dismissively): He turned out to be a bit of a sleazeball, but Jason and I dealt with him.
Stephanie (smiling warmly, her confidence returning): Aww, sibling goals. Hm, I will take your advice. Dick, do you know when Kyle—
Dick (interrupting, voice rising in alarm, backing away): Nope, nope, nope! I know nothing about him other than his name, and if I did, I’d still stay far, far away from him! Do not contact him, talk to him, or if you see him—run the other way!
Stephanie glanced at Cass, confused, but the girl shrugged back, equally perplexed.
Stephanie (shocked, eyes widening, incredulously): Freaking what?!
Dick (hastily, signaling he’s leaving, urgency in his tone): I have to talk to Bruce about a thing in a place. Bye!
Dick ran off to Bruce's office, needing to discuss Kyle Rayner with the caped crusader, who was already expecting him.
Spoiler meets a Green Lantern
What Cass is referring to -> Cass got her groove back!

𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬
Summary: Ichigo, Shunsui, Kenpachi, and Byakuya with a s/o who senses are very heightened
Request: Hi! I know your request are closed. You can write this whenever you want ❤️🫵🏼(tysm if u do) Can i request headcanons for ichigo, shunsui, Zaraki,byakuya with s/o whose six senses are on amother level? Like she can really sense/smell/hear everything,lol tysm 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
A/n: Heyyyy! I saw this pop up in my requests and I thought well why not now? I'm also writing this to get my mind off scheduling my classes for next semester. It's really such a pain bc all the classes I need, like absolutely need to take are full 😭 So, this def takes my mind off things so much!! <3
Content: Nothing to warn you about ;)
Tumblr media
Ichigo:
He thinks it's really cool and totally boasts about it to Chad, Uryu, Orihime.
Wants you to tell him alllll about it and how you can sense things on a whole different level.
Smiles the whole time as you're talking about and inches forward, super curious and interested.
Wants you to tell him every time you can maybe hear him between the thick walls or smell his cologne lingering in the air when he's far away.
Will admire you as you can sense something he totally can't.
Ichigo can usually tell when you're sensing something and he cannot, he tries to sense it, but he just can't.
Always likes to hold you in his arms as you're sitting in his lap, playing like an I-spy game with your senses as he's giving you kisses along your face.
Ichigo has so much love for you and loves every heighten sense of yours.
Shunsui:
Honestly, he doesn't really notice about your heightened senses until you bring it up yourself.
Shunsui's jaw drops as he's in shock, he didn't even or know about it.
"I've told you many times..." -- "Oh, have you? Must've crossed my mind."
Shunsui will comment with a nervous chuckle, bringing his hand behind his head and scratching his scalp.
Your face drops as you realize what an idiot he is, but god, do you love him.
After, he finally starts to notice little by little. The way your nose twitches when you smell something he doesn't or the goosebumps that form along your arms when you hear something he can't.
He'll chuckle to himself, loving that about you.
Shunsui will boast to anyone about you and your amazing senses, it doesn't matter who it is.
He's just in awe about the kind of person you are and your incredible senses.
Kenpachi:
Groans everytime you can tell him you can smell or hear him nearby.
He likes to put up this front when you can sense him and go over to him, but deep down he actually likes it.
He think it's above average to have senses where you can sniff him out like a dog and find wherever he is.
Kenny honestly thinks its super cute, but will never admit it.
Instead of admitting when he finds it cute, when you rant on about your senses, he pulls you into a deep hug.
You're confused, but you love the hug. It's Kenny's way of telling him that he's proud of you.
Scoffs or roll his eyes every time you jump up and down excitedly about your senses.
Always find it super cute when you get excited about your senses, sometimes you can see a little grin forming along his face.
Kenpachi will always love that your senses enhance the person you are.
Byakuya:
Tries not to say anything or act like he's aware of it. Will never really say anything about it to your face.
He wants to treat you just like everyone else and speaks about it when someone brings it up.
A proud little smirk forms along his face as others do talk about your senses.
He is proud of you and your senses that help you become a stronger person/ soul reaper.
If Byakuya does ever talk about your very strong senses, he praises you and tells you how proud of you he is while rubbing your back.
Def takes a notice to your senses, but doesn't ever say anything, he kind of just watches you behind the scenes.
Will never take your senses for granted and always realizes how strong you are.

Jonathan Bailey: Humble, Kind, and Hilarious (Vanity Fair)
A Humble Star with a Playful Side
There’s something incredibly refreshing about an actor who can rise to fame without letting it go to their head - and JB is the perfect example of this (I hope he never proves me wrong). In the interview, he comes across as grounded, witty, and aware of his own privilege. He jokes about his “dexterous toes” and speaks about the ups and downs of fame, showing that he doesn’t take himself too seriously. It’s not every day you hear someone with the kind of success he’s had talk about their imposter syndrome with such charm and honesty.
His humility shines through in everything he says. While he’s obviously proud of his career achievements, he never lets the glitz and glamour of Hollywood overshadow what truly matters to him. His ability to laugh at himself and stay unpretentious only makes me - and everyone else, I’m sure - love him more.
A Passion for Representation and LGBTQ+ Stories
One of the reasons JB is so beloved (at least by me) is his advocacy for LGBTQ+ representation in media. In the interview, he talks about Heartstopper and the immense impact it’s had on both LGBTQ+ audiences and the broader public. He makes a strong point about how crucial it is for older generations to see young LGBTQ+ love stories depicted so openly and positively. For JB, projects like Heartstopper aren’t just acting gigs - they’re opportunities to offer real representation for young people who need to see themselves on screen.
He also shares his thoughts on what it means to be a gay actor in an industry that’s still catching up in terms of representation. Through his work, he’s helping to create a world where LGBTQ+ stories are seen as vital parts of our cultural fabric, not niche or secondary narratives.
Philanthropy and Giving Back
It’s not just his acting career that makes him stand out - it’s his passion for using his platform to give back. Through the Shameless Fund, he has provided financial support for smaller, grassroots organizations that uplift LGBTQ+ communities, particularly those led by people of colour and trans individuals. As an advocate for visibility and justice, his commitment to philanthropy speaks volumes about his character.
In an industry where many actors focus on personal gain, it’s inspiring to see him prioritize social impact. His focus on creating positive change and supporting marginalized groups is a reminder that success in the spotlight doesn’t have to be just about fame - it can be about making the world a better place.
I just love Johnny and would love to have dinner with him and talk. That seems like it would be a good time!
Also, I'm so excited to go see Wicked!

K but like a cooking event. Like a cooking show. There are two teams. We got:
Rei Garu Dante
Kuya Quincy Olivine
Yakumo is like the one helping them, he's in charge of it all. Edmond is helping with taste testing and he's terrified. Blade is also there for taste testing which isn't helpful. Eiden is also terrified. He has no hopes that they can make something good.
Let's look at the first team.
Rei? He's a great cook but you don't want to eat what he makes. Man finds a dead animal in the woods and drags it back home to eat. You think he can hunt? Look at him. He only knows how to cook with weird possibly poisonous shit.
Dante understands the concept of cooking, I feel like he didn't cook for himself but he's watched others cook so how hard can it be?
Garu.. Well he's eating all the ingredients. Rei can't tell him no.
Garu: can I eat that?
Rei: yeah sure *gives him some*
Garu: can I eat that?
Rei: here you go *gives him it*
And that's how they ended up with no ingredients. Dante came back after going to grab something and sees almost everything is gone.
Dante: WHERE DID THE FOOD GO
Rei: doesn't matter. I don't know how to cook with that stuff anyway *pulls it plants that very much look dead and/or poisonous*
Dante: we are NOT using those
Rei: as long as you cook them hot enough they won't kill you
Man has an iron stomach and Garu is full of food. Dante is going around the kitchen trying to find anyone else they could possibly use.
Now our second team.
Olivine is just so happy to be there and he's excited to start cooking. He's good at cooking, loves to do it.
Quincy does not want to participate. He rather taste test. He's also accepted the fact that he's going to be chopping everything up. But he's also there to keep an eye on Kuya. Why?
Kuya is trying to sabotage everything. Doesn't want to be there. His weak ass taste buds probably can't even handle what they are making.
The thing is ... Olivine is way too positive. Everything Kuya tries to sabotage Olivine is perfectly able to incorporate it into the recipe. It's driving Kuya insane. It would be best if he sat there and did nothing, but he's incapable of doing that. He has to meddle.
He tried to set some vegetables on fire and it ended up cooking them perfectly and Olivine is praising him. He turns the oven up higher but it turns out the oven doesn't work well so turning it up higher actually sets it to the correct temperature and Olivine is like "You're so smart! How did you realize that?"
Quincy is just standing there telling Kuya to just stand to the side and to stop touching everything.
Garu comes over and asks for some of their food
Kuya: what happened to your food?
Garu: I ate it!
Kuya: .. yeah here you go
Kuya also cannot tell him no.
Rei is doing what he wants while Dante is trying to swap out rotting food for whatever he can find really. But whatever he makes it turns out decent. It looks foul but when Rei tries it he says it's really good. Dante refuses to try it and he's holding back Garu so he doesn't eat any.
Taste testing is scary
Olivine is so proud of everyone for helping and their dish came out wonderful and he's so proud of Kuya for helping as much as he did.

ep 43 had me tearing up in a fucking shopping centre ‼️‼️
b+w alt version that I truly couldn't decide if I liked it more . Also I included a lot of thoughts in the tags but they're somewhat incoherent<3
Tumblr media
#i dont know what i expected but i was waiting for a friend and too excited to wait until later#malevolent podcast#john doe#john doe malevolent#john malevolent#malevolent fanart#grimm art#ep 43#ep 43 left me with a lot of thoughts ... i didnt quite like how much of a recap it felt like at times but that might#be because ive been relistening and like yeah everyone knows that john 🙄 but that's not the case for everyone and with monthly uploads#things get forgotten easily#i find the discussion of “humanity” so interesting because John has shown that without someone that he has forcibly grown to value as an#equal... something he cannot do as the king of yellow as he is superior to all of his realm and presumably stays out of other elder god's#anyway. without that equality and enviroment to grow he fails to reach his goal of compassion and falls onto old ways.#John. The King in Yellow. shown by both times each has found themselves in human form do not just crave power and influence!!!#THEY CRAVE COMMUNITY!!! an endrich being not born or raised with nothing but power and ego#CRAVES COMMUNITY.#His goal of “humanity” is not a selfless goal like John projects - it is ultimately somewhat selfish as he does not want to be alone!!#which makes this desire so much more human#i don't know maybe this is just me spelling out whats already there but the way john and the witch argued about humanity frustrated me#it felt like they were missing the point or that perhaps the “good/evil” “black/white” retoric was already realised by me and john needed#realise it himself . which is fair !!!#i dont know!!!!#the witch was talking about how bad everyone was and how humanity is cruel and john was talking about Lily (#who also frustrates me how shes used in the plot somewhat she was literally just a nurse doing her job bro#) but to John - yes internally he is struggling with his moral greyness and im so proud of him for growing being himself SO PROUD#JUST.!!! he wants community. he needs community. he loves his friend. 'humanity' at its core does not matter as long as you try to be bette#and i think thats awesome and i really enjoyed the episode#guhh im rambling enjoy my tag rambling i dont know i want john to have more friends :(#yorrick can be another friend godd i love you yorrick so silly
