“You’ve been sitting there thinking so hard, I could see steam comin’ out your head.” Marie laughed as she walked close to you with two mimosas in her hand, handing one to you. The get-together she occasionally hosts with all of your mutual friends was in full swing, everyone in different corners of the huge house.

Giving her an eye roll, you sipped on the drink before answering. “Girl, fuck you.” You cussed, hearing her laugh. Following close behind her was another one of your friends, Lani. Her kitten heels clacked against the tiled floor as she sat next to you on the light blue couch.

“What’s going on, what’s the tea?” She sipped on her drink and held onto it and she looked at you. “Well my lovely friends, I’ve been thinking about getting a back tattoo for a good minute now.” You replied, leaning back into your seat as your friends gasped with excitement.

Marie held your manicured hand in excitement, “Girl oh my god, it’s going to look so good on you!”. Lani then put her drink down then sat up to look at you properly. “What you gonna get? How big?” She asked.

“A red dragon maybe. Covering the whole thing, It’s been on my mind.” You answered, looking between your excited friends. “Anddd you’re wearing a backless dress right now! Y/n, you better get this damn tattoo.” Marie said, still very much holding onto your hand.

“Anddd it’s going to look great during backshots.” Lani smiled and that earned her a smack on her arm from you.

“Stop thinkin nasty. I just want it because I think it’ll look good with all those backless clothes I got.” You admitted although the thought of it made your skin a little warm. “So what’s stopping you from getting it, bae? ‘Cause I’m excited like I’m getting it.” Marie gushed. “Can’t find a good artist around here who caters red ink for black people.” You shrugged.

It was tough trying to find tattoo artists in your city, much less those who work well with red ink. Most were extremely pricey, others worked with complicated pieces and only wanted pieces like portraits or lions or they just left you on read after attempting to make an appointment.

A moment passed by and Lani smacked your leg repeatedly as she came to a realisation. The look of unspoken excitement travelled between your friends and soon enough, you knew they were plotting something.

“Y/n, oh my goodness you genius!” Marie exclaimed and that made your eyebrows furrow even more with confusion.

“Okay, I am very confused by what is happening so I’m just going to grab another snack.” You voiced out and you couldn’t even move because both women held you down as they smiled like maniacs.

Lani nodded first then turned her head to look at you. “Okay okay. Y/n, we’ve got the perfect artist for you. D’you remember Lewis?” She grinned and you tried to think about it fully.

Lewis, Lewis…oh god, that Lewis. The incredibly beautiful man you met through your clearly unhinged friends at a housewarming party two years ago. He was that type of distant crush that would never go away even if you tried and it didn’t help that he was the quiet type who would hang out with your large friend group every now and then.

“…uh huh. What about him?” You replied, hoping that no one heard your voice almost falter at the mention of him. “He’s a tattoo artist! I don’t know how I forgot but that man just keeps to himself for real.” Lani chuckled before continuing. “But yeah anyways, he could do it for you!”

Never in a million years would you think that he would be a tattoo artist and funnily enough, his arm is filled with them. You actually had no clue what he did, always curious whenever you saw the G Wagon that he would hop into after any get-together was over.

“I don’t know, you guys. I’d have to talk to him first about everything and that seems like a lot. I don’t wanna bother the guy to squeeze in someone who has no clue what they’re doing-” You stopped your ramble once you realised that your friends were just staring at you.

“Girl, you never ramble like that unless you find a dude cute.” Marie teased as she watched you avoid eye contact with her. Smacking your lips, you shook your head and tried to appear like this news didn’t phase you.

So focused on the subject at hand, you didn’t notice that Lani was gone. Finally hearing the familiar clack of her heels, you looked up and your breath hitched. You had just denied even thinking about him but there stood Lewis, quietly chewing on his gum with a glint in his eyes as he looked at you.

With your hand still in Marie’s hold, she squeezed it as she stood up and moved to stand next to Lani. “Lewis, you remember Y/n, right? An absolute beaut.” Lani started. “Anywho, my good sis wants a tattoo and obviously, you came to my mind. Aight, see y’all later.” She continued and just like that, her and Marie disappeared.

“I’m sorry for them, they can get a lil crazy.” You spoke, offering your hand to him and he gently shook your hand with both of his large ones. “They’ve also had some green gummies so I get it.” He smiled and that alone, just sent you to another dimension.

He’s British. You made sure to make little notes along the way.

And he dressed incredibly well. Sleeveless white shirt, white cargos, air force ones and his huge tattooed arms on display. The jewellery making the outfit look all the more good.

It also didn’t help that your dress was the same shade of white as his entire outfit.

“Although we’ve briefly met before, I’m Lewis. Nice seeing you again.” He introduced himself, not breaking any eye contact with you and he could tell you weren’t expecting to see him. “Y/n. I’m sure those two already told you why they dragged you here,” You nervously smiled. “Didn’t wanna waste your time with my questions.”

“You’re good, love. Wanna sit down and talk about it?” Lewis asked, pointing to the couch you were just sitting on. This area of the house wasn’t crowded so you could hear each other clearly.

The nickname he called you by threw you into a loop, nodding at him as a response because you couldn’t come up with one on the spot.

The two of you went on to speak on everything revolving around the tattoo. Your experiences trying to find a good enough artist that you wanted to feel comfortable with, the placement of it and the design. There were all types of jokes thrown into the conversation, making you feel comfortable. He also listened, nodding and replying after you spoke.

“So I’ve got two options if I decide to chicken out of the dragon one.” You said, twiddling your fingers as you still avoided eye contact with Lewis. “Alright even though my favourite would have to be the dragon.” He winked, chewing his gum.

You flushed hearing him say that. You couldn’t imagine being naked in front of him, letting your body be a canvas he gets to work on. Of course you would like to be naked in another way but that couldn’t happen. He definitely has to have someone in his life. Would he though if he just winked at you? Or was he just playing with you because he can sense you’re shy-

“Y/n, love, you still with me?” Lewis worried a tad bit as he watched you zone out on him. Shaking yourself out of it, you were grounded by his eyes boring into yours. Clearing your throat slightly, you asked a different question. “Uh if I do go ahead with it, where will we be?”

“Right now, my studio is under renovations so I’ve got my home studio. Hope that’s okay with you, anything to help you be comfortable.” He reassured, sitting back and the sight of him just sitting so confidently had you squirming in your seat, having to cross your legs.

“That’s fine,” your voice reaching an octave higher than normal. “What was the other design, sweetie? Haven’t done a tattoo on a client in a while so I’m grateful that I’ll be the one who gets to work on this.” Lewis mentioned, watching you lose your train of thought everytime you two locked eyes and he found it quite endearing.

“…A lower back tattoo, preferably a word or a heart.” You muttered, Lani’s words running through your mind. Stop, you can’t think about that right now. “That’s a nice one.” He commented, tilting his head and admired your shyness.

Ever since he laid his eyes on you, Lewis had made it his mission to find a way to get with you. He was in awe everytime you would show at one of the many games nights or celebrations, looking effortlessly beautiful yet timid as well. He hadn’t known if you were single until a mutual friend mentioned you and blind dates in the same sentence.

Lewis thanked the universe for giving him the chance to do his favourite thing with the woman he had fancied.

After a bit more conversation, you had managed to get his number and bid goodbye to him, a very warm hug from him to you, and you hurried to your car to take several deep breaths afterwards. After not being intimate with anyone for a long while, you were embarrassed that a single conversation left you in a puddle with an all too familiar feeling in your stomach.

Consoling yourself whilst driving, you grew excited for the week ahead for the tattoo, of course.

-

Darting your eyes between your phone and the house you were currently parked outside of, you felt confused although your gps led you to the correct address.

“Sis c’mon, he wore a cartier bracelet like it was nothing.” You joked to yourself, trying to keep yourself at ease with the fact that your entire back will be filled with ink very soon.

Clearly the camera right by the gate was able to see you and the gate opened up for you. Finally parking next to the car you were familiar with, you fixed up your outfit. You tried walking to the front door with an excruciatingly slow pace to try and calm your nerves but as soon as Lewis opened the door, that all went out the window. His gaze was piercing as he leaned on the door frame, watching you twiddle with your nails and walk over to him with the same shy energy you held the other day.

“You can’t be lookin at people like that, Lewis.” You spoke with a slight smile, being welcomed into his large home. “Like how, Y/n?” He smiled as he closed the front door behind him, admiring every inch of your body.

“Like you wanna eat me alive.” You chuckled, choosing to not feel his glare on you after you said that. He chuckled as well, deciding to not comment and wanting you to be comfortable first.

“Anything you need before we start, love? You seem nervous.” Lewis asked, placing his hand on your back and lead you towards his home tattoo studio. An incredibly large room with decor that screamed Architectural Digest, the tattoo chair stitched with his initials ‘LH’ and a candle was lit, a ocean-like scent wafting through the air. You had told him that you liked that candle scent all those days ago and the fact that he remembered made you blush.

Low rnb music was playing and a calm atmosphere washed over you as soon as you entered the room.

“It’s my first big tattoo, of course i’m nervous about it.” You replied with a sigh, plopping down on the soft couch and placed your phone on the record player stand.

Playing with the band of your shorts, you knew he was looking at you from the doorway. “Also it’s a lil silly but I don’t even know if this shit will look good on me, y’know? I wanted this but i guess it’s just the nerves.” You continued.

Not even hearing him move from his spot, you lifted your head to see him crouched down in front of you. His tattooed hands landed on your thighs without breaking eye contact with you. “Can I tell you what I think?” He asked. All you could do was nod. He hadn’t touched you in the way you wanted but in an instant, you could feel a puddle forming.

“On you, it will be the best piece I’ve done because it was made to sit on your body. A canvas that people will get to admire, a canvas that you’ve given me the honour to work on.” He continued, hands barely moving from your legs.

Taking a breath, you finally got the strength to respond to what he said. “Are you always this poetic to your clients?” You tried to joke but his eyes were glued to yours, the same way he looked at you at the housewarming.

“It took me a while to garner the confidence to talk to you, to just be in your presence. Every time I had the luck to see you, I would cherish it because we wouldn’t be in the same room all the time. I want the time we have here to be meaningful. And before you make that adorable timid face, yes, I have always found you attractive.” He spoke and you were just speechless.

“Are you serious?” You managed to speak, your voice becoming softer the more you accepted everything he was saying.

“Would you like me to show you how serious I am about you?” Lewis shifted his legs so that he could kneel in front of you. You could see the truth in his eyes as he spoke, darting between your eyes and lips.

You whimpered and you couldn’t control it, his hold on you was so strong.

“I need your words, princess.”

“Please. Please show me, Lewis.” You whined out.

That was all it took for him to begin to reach for the band of your shorts but you put your hands on his to stop. His eyebrows furrowed and before he spoke, you went for it. “Kiss me.” You breathed out. Lewis stood to his full height then sat on the couch next to you, pulling you onto his lap.

You made the first move and leaned in, your lips moving together in sync as he kissed you passionately. His hand held the back of your neck, bringing even closer while his other hand trailed down your arched back.

Your whimpers echoed throughout his home studio as he pulled away from the kiss, watching you try and grind to get some sort of pleasure in. Gently putting his hands on your waist, he guided you and you gasped as you felt his length, long and hard. Just waiting for you.

It felt unbearable, a knot in your stomach needed to be released and you threw you head back, just wanting to wash over the arousal. Lewis watched how you pleasured yourself on him, your denim clothes restricting the both of you from connecting skin to skin. “You enjoying yourself, darling?” He licked his lips, looking up at you with dark eyes clouded with lust.

You wanted to respond, desperately, but you couldn’t bring yourself to. The warmth from the two of you became stronger, him leaning up to begin peppering kisses on your necks and not wanting to create any marks just yet. “..Yes.” You managed to breathe out and you loved the feeling of his large hands roaming around your body, not able to get enough of you.

Lewis held your hips firmly, halting your movement and that made you want to cry out of not getting a release. “Lewis, please.” You whined and he chuckled against your neck. “Take your clothes off and lie down, princess.” He said, looking at your cute angry face with a slight pout evident.

Instead of doing what he said, you just looked at him in the eyes clearly wanting to start a challenge. However, he knew his gaze made you weak. It was one of his many charms. All he had to do was slightly tilt his head and it had you standing up and slowly taking your clothes off, him following suit. You oggled at him, his tattoos gracefully placed on his skin making your mouth water.

With you laid down on the couch, he crawled up your body and crashed his lips into yours. He held your neck so gently as he kissed your jawline then your neck all the way down to where you needed him the most. Lewis laid between your legs to admire your clothed core, giving praise to your thighs and ass as he planted a kiss on your inner thighs.

“Oh shit…” you gasped as he started licking all around your clit until he planted his mouth on it, your moans bouncing off the walls as Lewis devoured you like you were his dinner. Sticking his tongue in and fucking you with it was really the cherry on top, your hand flying to his head to keep it in place and you ground into his face.

Screaming as he entered two fingers in your pussy, you felt a tear slide down at the immense pleasure he was giving you. It had been a very long time since someone had gone down on you but never had you orgasmed from head before. Until now.

Lewis licked you clean as he climbed up and kissed you so that you could taste yourself. You could tell he wanted to say something but you reached your hand to palm him through his pants, watching the different expressions on his face. Slapping the side of your thigh, he held your face.

“Bend over for me, princess.” With a smile on his face and you knew you were going to be here a while.

-

The buzzing of the tattoo gun sounded out through the room, Lewis wiped the dripping ink from his canvas. He was doing the last bit of work to fully complete his piece on you, the ink contrasting beautifully with your skin.

Finally switching it off and clearing his station to prepare for the clean up and to place the plastic cover on, he lightly smacked your ass to wake you up. “Darling, we’re finally done.” Lewis softly said, already focused on the clean up.

You hummed, “That’s amazing, baby. Thank you.” You spoke all drowsy from the nap you took earlier and the buzzing feeling of your body even after the tattooing gun isn’t touching your skin. Not to mention the sativa joint you smoked together before the final session.

You and Lewis kept this arrangement going, him saying that once he finished his artwork on your back, he’d take you on a date to wherever you want to go and you agreed. The mutual crush you had on each other transcended to a different level, becoming almost domestic every moment you spent together.

“Can I see it?” You asked, rising up from the chair and you looked at him while batting your eyelashes. “Of course you can, princess.” Lewis leaned down to peck your lips then led you to the mirror. You gasped when you saw your dream tattoo, sitting perfectly on your back and your mind was running wild with thoughts already.

“The backshots with this tattoo are going to be amazing.” You giggled and he just rolled his eyes. “Okay that’s enough weed for you, baby.” Lewis chuckled then lightly tapped your ass.

“You were thinking it though!”

Do you think any of the OI characters could be convinced to put on a sexy nurse outfit, while taking care of their sick partner?

I am giggling! (I really tried not to just be like YES to all of them, but I am a weak, weak person.)

_____________________________________

Steven: Giggles the whole time, and puts on a fantastically over the top accent to go with the new character he’s created. You have to kiss him to shut him up when he starts quoting Carry On, Doctor.

Marc: Will put on the outfit and make you take your medicine and go to sleep. “I’m taking care of you, so you feel better, why did you want something else?” Is a little shit about it until you beg him for kisses.

Jake: No sooner than the words are out of your mouth, he’s already scrambling to get changed. Nurse Lockley is here with medicine (his dick) and to take care of you (fuck your brains out if you’re up to it.) 

Nathan: Nathan ‘I’m not putting that fucking thing on’ Bateman. Getting all grumpy and muttering under his breath. The second you are out of the room though and (preferably) laying down, he’s knocking on the door in the most outrageous outfit you’ve ever seen and telling you he’s ‘been hired by Dr Bateman to take care of you’.

Anselm: You never have to even bring up the idea, because Anselm has already dressed up for you in a nurse’s outfit many times. (He has several for different occasions, but tends to prefer a custom made latex one that is skin tight and crotchless.) 

Cecil: Thinks the idea is hilarious and gets a little too into character. Tries to wear a pair of very high heels and you just about manage to convince him to take them off before he falls over and gives himself a concussion. 

Club!Blue: Doesn’t mind dressing up at all and is far too into it. (If a guard knocks on his office door, he will be answering it in full costume and with his cock out.)

Orderly!Blue: Please do not encourage this man. 

Jack: Has a disturbingly realistic outfit with blood stains that you do NOT want to ask where they came from. 

Santiago: Takes some convincing because it makes him feel a little self conscious, but he wants to try to not only cheer you up but also to get over some insecurities and he knows he’s safe with you.

Shimmer!Kane: Puts it on without a second thought, clothes are clothes, right? However he does like that it makes you happy. 

King John: Even though this is not historically time period accurate, I can’t help myself - he’s gonna fuck you in a plague doctor mask. I’m sorry.

Rydal: Will be a brat about it, because he wants you to spank him in the outfit.

Laurent: Starts going on about how he’s a ‘wet nurse’ and keeps shoving his boobs in your face.

Poe: As if this man doesn’t have 400 outfits on hand at all times.

What do you think of the Ghovie? :D

holy HELL man. to give my spoiler free thoughts: it was loads of fun. the concert footage was absolutely gorgeous. the sound quality was insane, I sang along through all the songs. ending left me shook and have more questions than answers.

for my thoughts that do involve spoilers:

my only real criticism but I guess it's just a personal preference: this was me merely having my specific expectations, but I was hoping to see Copia talk to his brothers in ghost form.

I did NOT expect Sister to kick the bucket.

Damn I'm not even a huge Copia enjoyer and yet I wanted to hug this man. He fr looked so stressed and conflicted.

FRATER IMPERATOR??!?! fuck man. I'm gonna draw that outfit.

SECONDO-STAINED GLASS SHOT!!!!

the animated segment of Mary On a Cross was so so cool. i guess they finally gave in to the scooby-doo chase music allegations xD

NEW GUY? who are you. who aaaare you? I vote for resurrected terzo. hah. yeah right.

the implications of copia having a twin!!?!?

I saw terzo ONCE and I pointed at the screen. my boy....

copia getting a lil jumpscare when he inverts his cross necklace. haha.

how will this new era play out? will it be an homage to the first era?

nihil you were a delight. silly old man.

cant get the new song out of my head. good music. good message.

copia's speeches throughout the concert, ahhh really pulls at your heartstrings.

copia on the hot air balloon, fr thought something bad was gonna happen, but good chances are he was lost in his mind, and fuckin fainted. oof.

RAIN SPOKE. him saying 'so no encore?' had the same cadence as the vine 'so no head?'

ghouls were lovely. not as feral as usual? poor swiss. he didn't get much good footage.

the. GHOULETTES. PERIOD.

phantom's wacky head tilts. he's so crazy. /pos

when nihil asked him to do the 'grucification' pose during SH my ass really thought they were gonna kill him on the spot or something.

OVERALL: a damn good concert movie. so thrilling. so much fun. I am happy that I got to experience this. despite the absence of our previous papas, we cling onto so dearly, I know the spotlight isn't shining on them anymore. it makes me sad, as I would've love to see Terzo in some narrative type media. Now, I await for what this new Era will bring.

[dr-spectre]

So it's currently midnight, I was going through some tweets and stuff because I was consuming some late night Callie angst! (Bad idea. Don't fucking consume sad media of your comfort character unless you're ready for it) and I've stumbled across an interesting titbit that's making my brain go CRAZY!!!

You guys know Callie's Alterna outfit right?

What I'm about to say I am NOT 100% certain on! I NEED SOMEONE TO DOUBLE CHECK IF IM ABOUT TO SAY IS TRUE OR NOT! OKAY?! BUT APPARENTLY.... The Splatoon 3 artbook states that Callie befriended some Octolings and she took inspiration from Octarian fashion into her new look... which matches up with Smollusk's comments about her, as well as why the outfit looks leathery and mostly black. You what else is leathery and mostly black? HYPNO CALLIE!!!!

OH THIS JUST ADDS MORE AND MORE TO WHAT I BELIEVE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO CALLIE IN SPLATOON 2... oh this makes me happyyyyy... oh I'm SO GIDDY RIGHT NOW!!!

"Callie was kidnapped and brainwashed by the Octarians and DJ Octavio!!!" Then why would she take inspiration from their fashion? Why would she call them cute? Why has she wanted to give them a make over on two separate relationship charts? Why did she seem happy to help decorate the Octarian bases and make cute little doodles showing her plans? Why does she miss shaven Octarians? Why is there concept art of her getting comforted by Octarians? Why are there no signs of trauma or mental anguish from Callie? Why is Callie perfectly fine seeing Octavio in Splatoon 3 ROTM and the Grand Fest? She was smiling. Why doesn't Callie state herself that she got kidnapped? Only Marie does because that's what she THINKS happened. There's no mention of kidnapping in the original Japanese version of Splatoon 2 btw from my knowledge.

I WONDER WHY?!?!?! HMMMM!!!! HMM!!!!!!!!!!!!???? MAYBE... OH, I DONT KNOW... SHE WASN'T KIDNAPPED?!?!?! We can argue about brainwashing and hypnosis all fucking day long, we can have a healthy discussion there, but saying that Callie was kidnapped is basically wrong at this point. Like, I'm sorry, if you say she got kidnapped, then I'm gonna ignore the rest of your points. Sorry if that seems harsh but... I'm getting tired of it is all. You know?

[enbysiriusblack]

december jily bingo: fireworks & hugging just for warmth (does this count as two or am i cheating? 🤔) @jilychallenge

Potter manor was filled with their peers, strolling the grounds drunk and happy. Euphemia and Fleamont had long since gone to bed, setting up fireworks before giving Sirius free reign on setting them off.

The winter party dipped later and later into the night, the home still swarmed with guests. James Potter, however, focused only on one guest throughout the night.

Lily Evans arrived late, dressed in an emerald muggle party dress and with a fairly fancy box of chocolates as a house gift for James' parents. She then proceeded to dance with Mary for the next few hours, only taking short breaks to grab drinks. James was enamoured.

Now, hours later and Mary gone off, Lily settled down on the grass outside, waiting for the firework display Sirius had promised soon.

"Hey, Evans."

Lily turned and gave him a smile, "Lily now, remember?"

"Right, Lily", he waved a hand through his hair, "You having fun?"

"Yeah", she patted the grass next to her, prompting him to sit, "Can't believe I missed out on coming to these every year."

"Well I did invite you."

Lily snorted, "Did you really think I'd come any of those times?"

James shrugged, "Didn't think you'd actually come this time to be honest."

"Oi, I told you I would."

"Yeah, but you were like three hours late."

Lily blushed slightly and turned to glance at the various other people, claiming spots on the Potter's makeshift qudditch pitch.

"Something wrong?" James asked, noting the sudden shift.

Lily coughed slightly and turned back to him, "No, I just- I was late because I wasn't sure what to wear."

"Well you look great."

"Thanks", Lily snorted, "I just panicked a bit. I got all ready and then suddenly thought I should maybe try harder. Tried on all my best outfits and some of Mary's too."

James frowned, "That's nonsense. You'd still look the best dressed here even if you just wore your school uniform."

Lily smiled, "Are you saying I don't look good in my school uniform?"

"What-no!" James panicked.

Lily let out a laugh and touched his knee, "I'm messing with you, James."

A sudden boom sounded and the two glanced up to the night sky just in time to see a swirl if red sparkles fizzle in the air. A second came shortly later- gold waves cracking in the sky.

James felt Lily shiver beside him so he wrapped an arm around her. She shuffled closer to him.

They stayed wrapped in each other's arms as Sirius set off more and more fireworks, shifting from the muggle ones to the magical ones. And soon the fists of explosions shifted more to images against the blackness of the sky. From advertisements for Sleakeazy's products to snowflakes and ice skating.

The two kept shuffling closer, eyes kept on the firework display. As the night grew colder, they were practically sat in each other's laps.

As a large pink heart sparkled in the sky, Lily resolutely made herself turn away from the fireworks just as the sparkles dimmed away. Instead, she turned to James and wrapped her arms around him, face pressed against his neck.

"Uh, Lily?" James froze.

"Sorry", she murmured, "It's just so cold."

"Oh", James paused, "Did you want to go back inside?"

Lily lifted her head up to look him in the eye, "No, I’m very cozy here, as long as you don't mind?"

James grinned widely, "Oh, it's fine! I'm freezing cold too."

Lily placed her head back down, "We'll warm each other up then," she breathed against his neck.

Peter glanced to the two of them from only a few metres away before turning back to Remus, "Why don't they just do a warming charm like everyone else has?"

Remus smiled slightly, "I don't think they're just hugging for warmth."

Welcome to my blog! My name is Fluffy!

I am an artist and fan fiction writer who mostly focuses on one fandom at a time. My current obsession is Shazam!

My second blog is @fawcetttweets where I post Tweets from the DC universe, focusing on the daily lives of Fawcett City’s heroes and civilians!

My banner was created by @chocolatebriosh during art fight! The characters are my OCs :)

You can find me on TikTok and Ao3 with the username ChaoticallyFluffy or by using the links!

I tried my best to make it chronological with the oldest on top and the newest on the bottom, so if my early stuff sucks, feel free to skip to the bottom of each section!

First Date (Valley, Roxy)

[latenightreadingpdf]

Jealousy - Sirius Black

₊‧⁺˖⋆ Masterlist ⋆˖⁺‧₊

Summary: When Y/N excitedly announces her first date with Amos Diggory, Sirius Black’s jealousy quickly gets the better of him.

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆

The Gryffindor common room was buzzing with its usual chaos. The Marauders lounged on their favorite couch, trading jokes and stories, while Lily Evans and her group of friends sat by the fire, discussing the latest gossip. The evening was comfortably familiar—until the door burst open.

You came running in, breathless and wide-eyed, as if you had just sprinted across the entire castle.

"What's wrong?" Lily asked, concern knitting her brows.

But your beaming smile quickly dispelled any worry. "Nothing's wrong!" you said, your voice practically trembling with excitement. "I just had to tell you all—Amos Diggory asked me out!"

Gasps and squeals erupted from the girls. They immediately crowded around you, peppering you with questions.

“When?” “Where?” “What did he say?” “What are you going to wear?”

You laughed, flustered but enjoying the attention. "He asked me after Potions today. We're going to Hogsmeade tomorrow night!"

The boys exchanged confused glances. James, ever the spokesperson, called out, “Hold on, hold on—Amos Diggory? Since when do you fancy anyone?”

Your cheeks flushed, and you tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. "Since he’s nice, smart, and, you know... handsome," you admitted.

James nodded, seemingly satisfied. “Fair enough.”

“Good for you,” Remus added warmly.

Peter gave you a thumbs-up. "Amos is decent."

Sirius, however, leaned forward, eyebrows furrowed in a frown. "Amos Diggory? Really? Of all people, him?"

Your smile faltered. "What’s that supposed to mean?"

"Just that you could do a lot better,” Sirius said, his tone sharp. “He’s... dull. And too nice. Suspiciously nice.”

"Sirius!" Lily snapped, glaring at him.

Mary chimed in indignantly, “Amos Diggory is the dream guy. He’s polite, smart, and incredibly handsome.”

The other girls nodded in agreement, giggling again as they tugged you toward the staircase to the girls’ dorms. "Come on, we have to pick out your outfit!"

You cast a hesitant glance back at Sirius, but his stormy expression didn’t change. Shrugging it off, you let the girls drag you away.

The room fell quiet as the boys stared at Sirius.

“What?” Sirius grumbled, leaning back in his seat.

Remus slapped his arm. “Ow!” Sirius yelped, rubbing the spot.

“What the hell was that for?”

“For being an arse,” Remus said, whisper-yelling. “Why would you say that to her? She looked so happy!”

Sirius scowled. "I just think there’s something off about him."

“Rubbish,” James shot back. “You didn’t have to be so mean about it, though.”

Peter nodded. “Yeah, mate. You kind of ruined the moment.”

Sirius sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Fine. I’ll apologize tomorrow.”

“Good,” Remus said firmly. “But not just because we’re telling you to. You’re jealous.”

Sirius’ head snapped toward him. “I am not!”

James snorted. “You’re jealous.”

Peter grinned. “Definitely jealous.”

Sirius groaned, throwing his head back against the couch. “I hate all of you.”

“Not as much as you hate Amos Diggory,” James quipped, dodging the pillow Sirius threw at him.

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆

The next day was a whirlwind of excitement. After hours of trying on different outfits with the girls, you finally settled on one that everyone agreed made you look stunning. Their compliments gave you a confidence boost as you descended the staircase to the common room.

Amos was waiting for you, looking polished yet approachable in his casual Hogsmeade attire. His smile widened as he saw you.

“You look beautiful,” he said, his voice warm.

You felt a blush creeping up your cheeks. “Thank you. You look nice too.”

He extended his arm. “Shall we?”

With a shy smile, you took his arm, and the two of you headed off toward Hogsmeade.

The Three Broomsticks was lively but not too crowded, the perfect spot for a cozy first date. Over butterbeers, you and Amos chatted easily, laughter punctuating your conversation. He was charming and surprisingly funny, keeping you giggling throughout.

What you didn’t realize was that someone else had spotted you from outside the pub.

Sirius Black, with the rest of the Marauders in tow, was in Hogsmeade to stock up on their usual supplies: prank items and enough sweets to fuel their mischief. While the others were distracted by Zonko’s display, Sirius had spotted you through the window, laughing with Amos Diggory.

The sight made his stomach twist. “Come on,” Sirius said, feigning nonchalance. “Let’s get a butterbeer.”

James raised a brow. “Now? I thought we were going to Honeydukes next.”

“Just one,” Sirius insisted, already heading for the door.

The bell above the door chimed as the boys entered, and your laughter stopped abruptly. You glanced toward the door and spotted them. Your eyes narrowed, immediately honing in on Sirius.

“Oh, for Merlin’s sake,” you muttered under your breath.

Amos noticed your expression and turned to look. “Are those your friends?” he asked curiously.

You hesitated. “Not really. Give me a second.”

Sliding out of your chair, you made your way to the Marauders. Sirius’ face lit up with exaggerated surprise as you approached.

“Y/N! What are you doing here? Oh my gosh, are you on your date right now?”

You rolled your eyes, unamused. “Leave. Now.”

James and Remus exchanged guilty glances. “Sorry, Y/N,” James said quickly. “We didn’t know—”

Sirius interrupted, “I’m just here for a butterbeer! By the way, you look really lovely—”

“Out!” you snapped, glaring at him.

Peter tugged on Sirius’ sleeve. “Come on, mate. Let’s go.”

Grumbling under his breath, Sirius allowed himself to be dragged out. You turned back to Amos, forcing a smile.

“Sorry about that,” you said, sitting down.

Amos studied you for a moment. “Are you and Sirius... a thing?”

“Godric, no!” you said, horrified. “He’s just... a jerk.”

Amos tilted his head thoughtfully. “He likes you, you know.”

You frowned. “No, he doesn’t.”

“He does,” Amos insisted. “And I don’t want to get in the middle of that. But I’d like us to stay friends. I really enjoy hanging out with you.”

You tried to hide your disappointment and nodded. “Sure. Friends.”

Amos smiled gently and walked you back to the Gryffindor common room. Before leaving, he gave you a soft kiss on the cheek.

When you stepped into the common room, all eyes turned to you.

“How’d it go?” James asked, grinning.

“Horrible,” you snapped, glaring pointedly at Sirius.

He raised his hands in defense. “I barely did anything!”

“Barely?” you repeated, incredulous. “Thanks to you, Amos thinks you like me, and now we’re just going to ‘stay friends’ because he doesn’t want to come between us!”

The room went silent. Sirius’ mouth opened, but no words came out.

“You what?” Lily hissed, rounding on Sirius.

“I didn’t mean—”

“I’m going to bed,” you said sharply, cutting him off. The girls immediately followed, throwing Sirius matching death glares as they escorted you upstairs.

Once you were gone, James shook his head. “You really messed up, mate.”

“I know,” Sirius muttered, guilt tugging at him. “I’ll fix it.”

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆

Later that night, a hesitant knock echoed at your dorm door. Lily answered, her sharp glare softening only slightly when she saw Sirius standing there, his usual confidence replaced with a sheepish, almost boyish look.

“She doesn’t want to see you, Sirius,” Lily said, crossing her arms.

“Please, Lily,” Sirius begged, his voice uncharacteristically earnest. “I just want to apologize. I feel awful about everything.”

Before Lily could shut the door in his face, your voice called from inside, soft but firm, “Let him in.”

Lily rolled her eyes but opened the door wider. “Fine. But if you make her cry again, I’ll hex you into next week.”

Sirius gave her a faint nod of understanding and stepped inside. The sight of you made his heart clench. You were sitting on the edge of your bed, hugging a pillow to your chest. Your cheeks were streaked with dried tears, your eyes red from crying.

“What do you want, Sirius?” you asked, your tone weary.

He stood awkwardly for a moment before kneeling down in front of you. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small bag of your favorite candies, placing them in your lap.

“I’m sorry,” he began, his voice unusually quiet. “For everything. I didn’t mean to ruin your date or make you cry. That was never my intention. I just...” He ran a hand through his hair, struggling to find the words. “I screwed up. Big time.”

You stared down at the bag of sweets in your lap, your fingers brushing against the crinkling paper. “Why did you do it, Sirius?”

He sighed deeply, tilting his head back like he was searching for courage in the ceiling. Then, he looked at you, his gray eyes vulnerable in a way you’d never seen before.

“Because Amos was right,” he admitted softly. “I was jealous.”

You blinked, caught off guard by his honesty. “Jealous?”

He nodded, his voice shaking slightly. “I hated seeing you with him. I wanted to be the one sitting across from you, making you laugh. I wanted to be the one you were excited to see. The truth is... I like you, Y/N. A lot. And I have for ages. But I didn’t know how to tell you. I was scared. Scared that you’d laugh at me or that you wouldn’t feel the same.”

The room was thick with silence. You couldn’t tear your eyes away from him, his usual cocky demeanor completely gone, replaced with raw sincerity.

“I ruined it for you,” he continued, his voice breaking slightly. “And I’ll never forgive myself for that. But I needed you to know. Even if it doesn’t change anything, even if you hate me now.”

Sirius stood slowly, his shoulders slumping in defeat. “I’m sorry. I’ll leave.”

He turned and began walking toward the door.

“Wait,” you said, your voice barely above a whisper.

Sirius froze mid-step. He turned back around, his expression unreadable, and found you standing just a few feet away. Your pillow had fallen to the floor, forgotten.

Before he could say anything, you stepped closer, rising onto your toes, and pressed a soft kiss to his lips. It was quick and tentative, but enough to make Sirius’ breath hitch.

When you pulled back, you smiled faintly. “I like you too, you idiot.”

His eyes widened in surprise before a grin broke across his face—a genuine, boyish grin that made your heart flutter. “Yeah?” he asked, his voice almost disbelieving.

You nodded, your own smile growing. “Yeah.”

Without hesitation, Sirius reached out, cupping your face gently in his hands. His thumb brushed your cheek as he leaned down, capturing your lips in a deeper, more passionate kiss. This time, there was no hesitation, no uncertainty—just the overwhelming warmth of finally crossing the line between friends and something so much more.

When you finally broke apart, both of you were breathless. Sirius rested his forehead against yours, his grin never fading.

“I’ve wanted to do that for so long,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.

“Then why didn’t you?” you teased lightly, your cheeks warm.

“Because I’m a coward,” he said with a chuckle. “But I promise I’ll make up for it.”

You laughed softly, and Sirius kissed you again, as if to prove his point.

Masterlist

——-

You held back a sigh as you walked into the lecture hall. You did not want to take this biology class, but the requirement had to be fulfilled, especially since you were in your last year of school.

“I don’t get why a film major has to take a science class.” You grumbled to yourself, setting your white frilly bag on the desk in front of you and sitting down.

“I know.”

You jumped as you looked over your shoulder. A boy with long, dark hair was setting his messenger bag down beside you. He was dressed in a black T-shirt with the Your Organic Hatred band logo on it and light-wash jeans, and his jacket was covered in patches and pins. “Oh my God, you scared me.”

He smiled. “I have that effect on people sometimes.”

“I— you just startled me, that’s all.” You sat down, wondering why he’d chosen to sit next to you in the nearly empty lecture hall. You were dressed as opposite to him as you probably could’ve been: a blush-colored top with a white cardigan and a frilly pink miniskirt.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to.” He sat down, too. “I just wanted to say I love your outfit.”

“Oh… thank you.” You looked down, turning the same color as your top. “I am not looking forward to this class.”

“Me neither.” He said as he pulled out his laptop. “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with yourself, but I’m a film major, too.”

You giggled. “That was a very private conversation, you had no right to listen.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry, miss…” He trailed off, waiting for your name.

“Y/n.” You said, a little shyly.

“Miss y/n. I will be more considerate of your privacy going forward.”

“I appreciate that, Mister…” You raised your eyebrows.

“Wooyoung.” He grinned, and you noticed an eyebrow piercing. You swallowed. It was hot.

“Mister Wooyoung.” You tried to regain your composure. “So, you’re a film major, too? What’s your concentration?”

“Visual effects. How about you?”

“Screenwriting. I’m taking an editing class this semester though.”

Wooyoung perked up. “Which one?”

“Color correction.”

“440? With Dr. Dewey?”

“Yes!”

“We’re in it together, then.” Wooyoung smiled. “That’s cool.”

“Yeah!” You smiled back. “I hear Dewey can be tough, but he’s ultimately a good professor.”

“Yeah, I had him for editing techniques last semester.” Wooyoung nodded. “He definitely pushes you, but I learned a lot.”

“Well, now I know who to go to when I need help.” You leaned down to your bag to get your notebook out.

“I’d be more than willing to help.” Wooyoung said, and you were glad your face was away from him, because you were furiously blushing again.

You continued to talk with him about classes and professors and the film program until the Biology 110 professor walked in and started the class. Even then, you couldn’t get your mind off Wooyoung, doodling little flowers in the margins as the professor went on about course expectations. You were a good student, you’d read the syllabus already. You only paid attention when she mentioned a homework assignment due in a couple days. You groaned, homework during the first week of classes wasn’t unusual by any means but it was still annoying.

When the fifty minutes were up and the class was over, you packed up your things and stood up. “It was so nice to meet you, Wooyoung… could I get your number?”

Wooyoung’s grin was wide. “I’d love that.”

You handed him your phone with an empty contact open. He filled in his information and handed it back to you. He’d included his birthday, November 26.

You laughed. “Why’d you put your birthday in?”

He shrugged. “I always give people my birthday. I like getting happy birthday texts.”

That’s so cute, you thought, but you said, “Maybe I should start doing that, too.”

“You should. It says a lot about a person, who they send happy birthday texts to.” He nodded sagely.

“I’m sure it does.” You laughed.

“Well, I’ll see you tomorrow for color correction.” He grinned. “I’ll find you.”

“Sounds good.” You said, going red again.

He laughed and walked out. You finished zipping up your bag and left, off to your next class.

—

That evening, you were at your best friend’s apartment with a few of your other friends. Minho was cooking dinner, and the rest of you were crowded into the small living room.

“So, first day of classes.” Hyunjin said. “How’d it go?”

“Oh my God, I met the cutest guy.” You gushed. “In my biology class, of all places. He’s also a film major, maybe you know him… Wooyoung?”

“Wooyoung?” Felix’s eyes widened. “I just know he’s in a band that plays at Ross’s sometimes, he’s the drummer.”

“I’ve heard he’s a bit of a playboy.” Chan hummed. “Be cautious, y/n.”

“He seemed so sweet.” You mumbled.

“Campus rumors aren’t always true.” Felix put his arm around you. “And drummers are hot. You should go for it. Did he seem interested in you?”

“I mean, I got his number.”

“Text him! Oh my God, text him!” Felix bounced in place. “Ask him on a date!”

“That seems a little presumptuous.” You smiled at his excitement. “But I’ll see if he wants to hang out or something.”

You opened your phone and started a text to Wooyoung, grinning that he’d put a little smiley face emoticon next to his name: “Wooyoung :)”.

“Hey, Wooyoung, it’s y/n.” You mumbled aloud as you composed the text. “Do you want to work on the bio homework together tomorrow, maybe after color correction?”

“You’re in a second class together?” Felix smiled. “Oh, this is meant to be.”

You rolled your eyes and sent the text.

Hyunjin had started to tell you about his painting class when your phone buzzed. You picked it up immediately. “Wooyoung :)” had texted back.

“Hi y/n! I’d love to. I’m free after color correction so we can totally go to the student center or something!” You read, a smile spreading across your face.

“Victory!” Felix pumped his fist in the air. “Date scheduled!”

“It is not a date.” You laughed. “We’re just doing homework.”

“Maybe right now it is.” Hyunjin smiled. “But it could become something more.”

“Exactly!” Felix chimed in.

You looked at Hyunjin. “Oh, not you chiming in.”

He smiled innocently. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Oh, yes, you do.” You shook your head, smiling. “I’ll let you all know how my not-date goes, okay?”

—

When you had color correction the next day, you walked into the class looking for Wooyoung. He must not have arrived yet, though, so you sat by some girls you knew from a film class a couple semesters ago. You didn’t remember any of their names, so you hoped you wouldn’t need to address them.

“Hey!” One of them greeted you. “It’s been a while! How are you?”

“Good!” You said absently, still looking around for Wooyoung.

“Who are you looking for?” One of the others said, twisting around in her seat.

“Do you know Wooyoung?” You said quietly.

“Drummer for Ateez Wooyoung?” The first one said. “You’re looking for him?”

You smiled. “Yeah.”

“Careful with him.” One of them said. “He’s super cute, and he knows it.”

That made two people who’d warned you against him. You bit your lip. “He seems so nice, though.”

“He is nice!” The first one said. “That’s the issue. He’s so nice, and then suddenly he’s talking to some other girl, and doesn’t even worry about you anymore.”

“You’re talking from experience, Ella.” One of them nudged Ella’s shoulder, and she rolled her eyes.

You didn’t like these girls. You’d sat near them in your last class, but they’d always seemed a bit mean to you.

You stood up. “I think I’m gonna sit near the front so I can get the notes better.”

“Okay.” Ella nodded. “Cool.”

You gave her a tight-lipped smile and picked up your bag, moving to the front of the room.

As if on cue, Wooyoung walked in the door, waving at you and walking over to sit beside you. Today he was in a black hoodie with a red and black design on it from Open Destruction, and black jeans. A tiny calculator hung from his belt.

“What’s that for?” You nodded at it.

He grinned. “Math, of course.”

“Oh, of course. Just in case.”

“Just in case.” He agreed. “How are you today?”

“I’m good.” You said. “I’m kind of dreading the bio homework, but it has to happen.” You sighed dramatically.

“It does.”

Before you could respond, Dr. Dewey walked into the room. “Hello, everyone! My name is Dr. Dewey, and welcome to color corrections.”

—

After class, you and Wooyoung walked to the student center together. “So, what’s the homework?”

“I think we read the textbook chapter and do the online quiz.” You said. “It shouldn’t be too bad, but I haven’t taken a biology class in a very long time, so I thought having someone to work with would be good.”

“I’m not very good at bio, but maybe if we put our heads together we can come up with something that makes sense.” He smiled.

You got to the student center and set up. Wooyoung went to get a coffee from the coffee shop, and you pulled out your phone.

11:56am, September 4

You: Just got to the student center :)

Felix: OMG YAAAAY

You: Don’t celebrate just yet lol, we’re just hanging out

Hyunjin: Sure. Remember to use a condom, y/n.

You: STOP IT HYUNE

Wooyoung returned with two cups in hand, and you put your phone away. “I didn’t know your coffee order, but you seemed like a caramel latte girl.”

You smiled, taking it. “I am! I love caramel lattes. Thank you, Wooyoung, I really appreciate it.”

He sat down across from you. “Of course.”

You both opened your laptops, navigating to the course page. “Ugh, I’ve said this before, but I hate biology.”

“Me too, but it’s a necessary evil.” Wooyoung said. “Gotta get the science credit.”

“Yeah.” You opened the textbook and began to read the first chapter. It all made sense so far, except for some information about the chemical makeup of microbes.

“I can’t quite get this. Page thirty four.” You said to him.

“Oh. I think I got that.” He began to explain it to you. It was all clear when he said it, and it wasn’t just because he was incredibly attractive as he described it. You stopped him after a couple minutes.

“Okay, I get it now. Thanks! You know, you’re not bad at bio.”

“I guess.” Wooyoung shifted in his seat. “I just don’t like it, so I don’t think I’m great.”

“Don’t sell yourself short, you’re smart, Wooyoung.”

“Thanks.” He smiled at you. “Do you want to move on to the quiz?”

“Yeah.”

You did the quiz together, and both of you got a 90% on it. This was mostly due to Wooyoung’s biology smarts, but you helped on a lot of the questions, too.

“Perfect.” You smiled, closing your laptop. “This was great.”

“It was. You know… you should come to my place sometime. We can watch a movie or something.”

You were suddenly on high alert, the warnings from Chan and Ella echoing in your ears. “That sounds great!” You said anyway. You hadn’t known Wooyoung for long, but you liked him, and you didn’t want to keep your distance.

“I’ll text you.” He said, finishing packing his things.

You walked out together, separating as you walked one direction towards your apartment, and he walked the other. “I’ll see you later?”

“Yes, for sure.” Wooyoung winked. “See you!”

“Bye!” You waved, hoping he couldn’t see your blush at his wink.

—

On Friday, you smoothed out your short white skirt as you stood in front of Wooyoung’s door, taking a breath before knocking.

Someone who was very tall and very not Wooyoung answered the door. “Hello?” He said, smiling and tilting his head. “Um, can I help you?”

“I’m— Wooyoung invited me over.” You stammered.

“Oh!” He leaned inside. “Woo! Your date’s here!”

“Coming!” Wooyoung’s voice said, and the way he didn’t deny you were his date made you go red. He appeared behind the other boy a minute later. “Come on in, y/n!”

“Thanks.” You said softly, stepping inside.

The other boy closed the door behind you, and you followed Wooyoung up the stairs.

His bedroom had a lot of stuff in it, but it was neat. The walls were decorated with band posters, and a drum kit sat in the corner. Trinkets sat on every available surface, and a TV was on the wall.

He switched it on, hopping on the bed. You gingerly sat on the edge, looking at the TV.

“You can get comfy, if you want.” He smiled.

“Okay.” You smiled and took off your shoes, then sat next to Wooyoung on the bed. “Oh, your bed is so comfortable.”

“I know.” He laughed. “I don’t like waking up early.”

“I can see why.”

Wooyoung queued up a movie on the TV, a comedy you’d never seen but wanted to. “I really like this one, if you want to watch a comedy?”

“I’d love to.” You smiled.

He started the movie, and you reclined back onto the pillows beside him.

You didn’t touch, but it already felt intimate to be so close to him. The movie was good, and hearing him laugh so much was adorable. You chatted as you watched, too, talking about the jokes, the characters, other movies you liked, classes, and music. You barely noticed when the movie ended, you were so caught up in your conversation.

Eventually you lay down with him, looking into each others’s eyes as you continued to talk. You began to notice his eyes drifting to your lips, then snapping back to your eyes when you said something. It was clear what he was thinking about.

There was a pause in conversation, and you smiled, just looking at him.

“Can I kiss you?” Wooyoung asked softly.

The alarm bells rang, deafening.

Chan. I’ve heard he’s a bit of a playboy. Be cautious, y/n. Ella. He’s so nice, and then suddenly he’s talking to some other girl, and doesn’t even worry about you anymore.

I’m just another girl to him.

You got up quickly, tears gathering in your eyes.

“It’s okay if not, y/n, I didn’t mean to freak you out or anything.” Wooyoung said, a note of distress in his voice.

“Don’t play around with me, Wooyoung.” You said, your words wavering.

“What? I’m not playing around with— I’m sorry for asking so soon!”

“I’m not just another girl.” You got one shoe on fully and slid the other half-on, ready to get out of there as fast as you could. All he wanted from you was a kiss, or more, and then he’d be done with you. You’d thought you were moving towards something deeper with him, but you should’ve listened to the people you knew.

Sometimes, campus rumors were true.

You ran down the stairs, one of your Mary Janes sliding off on the stairs. You didn’t even worry about it, running out of the house and back to your car. You locked the doors and took a few deep, shuddering breaths, holding back your tears.

Wooyoung hadn’t followed you outside, and you were glad for it. You got yourself together as best you could and turned on your car. Instead of going home, you went to Chan’s apartment.

He answered the door. “Y/n? What happened, are you okay?”

“Wooyoung asked if he could kiss me.” You sobbed.

Chan just looked at you for a second. “Okay, come inside.”

You told Chan and Minho, who was over hanging out, about what had happened. “I was just another girl to him, he was just using me.”

They looked at each other for a long moment. “I’m sorry I told you that, y/n.” Chan said.

“Huh?” You looked at him.

“I heard that from a friend of Ella’s. It sounds like he really does like you. He got you coffee, he invited you over, and you talked for hours. That all sounds like someone who’s actually interested in you.”

“Really?” You hiccuped.

“Yes.” Chan nodded. “And as for Ella, well… she doesn’t sound like the most reliable source, if Wooyoung broke up with her.”

“Yeah, I don’t like her all that much.” You said with a rueful smile. “She talked about her exes all the time when I was in that other class with her.” You tried to remember if one of them had been named Wooyoung, but you couldn’t exactly recall.

“Sounds like someone might be a little bitter.” Minho noted. He looked down. “You’re missing a shoe.”

“Yeah, my Mary Jane fell off on Wooyoung’s stairs.” You held back another wave of tears.

“So, you have to see him to get it back.” Chan said quietly.

“I have to see him in a couple days for class, anyway.” You sighed. “Can I spend the night here? I don’t want to drive.”

“Of course. The couch is all yours.”

“Perfect, thank you, Chan.”

He rubbed your back. “Of course, y/n.”

Minho left a little later, and Chan got some blankets for you. You fell asleep fitfully, even on Chan’s famously comfortable couch.

You woke up the next morning disoriented. You felt like you hadn’t gotten any rest at all. Chan was already up, making eggs on the stove.

“Morning, sleepy. It’s 10.” Chan shoved the eggs around with a spatula. “I thought the smell of breakfast might wake you up.”

“It did.” You smiled. “Thank you for everything.”

“Of course.”

You looked at your phone.

One text from “Wooyoung :)”.

“Hey, I’m sorry about last night. I have your shoe, if you want to meet somewhere and I can give it back.” You read to Chan.

“He apologized.” Chan said. “I think that’s a good sign. If he was trying to use you I don’t know that he’d care enough to try to rebuild the relationship.”

“I guess.” You sighed. “I’ll get the shoe back and hear what he has to say.”

“I think that’s a good idea. But first, eggs.”

—

You gave Wooyoung Chan’s address. Chan had to leave to meet his sister for lunch, leaving you to meet him alone.

“Just give it a chance, okay?” Chan smiled at you, taking his keys off the hook by the door. “And if he’s a dick, we’ll all cut him off forever, okay?”

You smiled back. “Sounds good.”

Chan walked out, and you collapsed onto the couch, trying to prepare for what you’d say to Wooyoung, but all you could think about was yesterday on his bed, looking at each other and talking about anything and everything and smiling at each other.

You wanted to give him another chance, but you didn’t want to get played.

There was a knock at the door. You unlocked it with shaking hands.

Wooyoung was standing there with your pink Mary Jane in one hand and a bouquet of beautiful white and pink flowers in the other. “Hey, I got you these because I thought you’d like the colors, and, um, to apologize, I didn’t mean to freak you out moving so fast.” He said in a rush.

You felt yourself tearing up again, and you stepped aside to make space. “Come on in.”

“Is this your apartment?” He asked, looking around.

“No, it’s my friend Chan’s. I came here last night after, um… what happened, and I ended up sleeping on the couch, partially because I only had one shoe.”

“Well, I can help with that.” Wooyoung held it up.

You took the flowers from him, pushing your face into them and inhaling the beautiful scent. “Woo, these are beautiful.”

“I’m glad you like them.” His smile was tentative, like he was… nervous.

You set them on the counter and went to sit on the couch, holding out your leg.

Wooyoung slipped the shoe on, looking at you. You could see him biting the inside of his cheek.

“I’m sorry about yesterday.” You sighed. “I heard all these people telling me you were kinda a… a playboy, and I freaked out.”

Wooyoung closed his eyes. “Yeah, those rumors have been following me around since me and Ella broke up. She can be really nasty when she’s angry, which is part of why we… you know, broke up.”

You felt a flicker of hope. “So… you actually do like me?”

He laughed. “Of course I like you, y/n. I really did just want to kiss you.”

You patted the couch beside you. Wooyoung sat.

“Can I kiss you?” You asked.

His eyes widened. “Do you really want to?”

“Yes.” You said breathlessly.

He gently moved one hand up to your hair, combing through it with his fingers. “You’re so pretty, y/n. Yes, I’d love to kiss you.” And with that, he moved forward, closing the gap between you and pressing his lips to yours.

It wasn’t anything rough or demanding, rather, sweet and affectionate. Wooyoung was gentle and sweet and he tasted like mint, like he’d just brushed his teeth or had been chewing gum or something.

When you both pulled away, you bit your tingling lip. “You’re not mad?”

“No.” He shrugged. “You were just doing what you thought was best with the information you had. I don’t blame you for that.”

You smiled. “Can we go on another date then?”

He smiled back. “Of course. I know emo music isn’t entirely your style, but there’s this band I really like that’s coming into town in a couple days, and I have an extra ticket, if you’d like to come.”

Your eyes widened. “Actually, I really love emo music.”

“Really? You have about the most opposite style to emo I’ve ever seen.” He laughed.

“Hey, just because I don’t commit to the look doesn’t mean I can’t like the music!”

He raised his hands in surrender. “My bad, my bad! But, um, you want to do the concert, then?”

“Here, um, you’ve got…” You brushed a stray piece of hair away from his face. “I’d love to go to the show. What band?”

“Climb In, Girl. They’re one of my favorites.” You could see him light up as he mentioned them.

“That works out, I love them too!” You beamed.

“Perfect.” Wooyoung took your hand, squeezing it. “I’m so excited.”

“Me too.”

You just smiled at each other for a moment before Wooyoung leaned in to kiss you again.

The best | Mary Earps

Pairing: Mary Earps x Reader

Request: Where Mary gets her fifa best award

Woso masterlist | Words: 1K

-----

Today was a big day for your girlfriend, you were attending the FIFA Best Awards, where she was nominated for not one but two categories. Though before the award show started there she had a busy schedule, one you and her team followed along closely. 

This wasn’t your world at all, but you loved supporting Mary in everything she did. While you were admiring your girlfriend in her element, you were filming bits and pieces of behind the scenes footage. Mary loved creating TikTok’s out of events like this to show the world what it was like from her perspective, and you loved helping her film.

Currently you were at a photoshoot. Mary was repping her own brand, a white tee with her quote ‘Be unapologetically yourself.’ paired with a black suede tracksuit. The whole day the group of you moved around the large building, besides the event it was also a big media day. Interviews, games, photoshoots, anything you could imagine, it was a part of today.

In each interview, Mary spoke with so much passion. Her passion was one of the things you loved most about her. She had many interests, and stood for a lot of things. The way she used her platform for the better, speaking out about mental health, and inspiring people was always incredible to watch. 

After the final interviews were done, you all made it back to the hotel room where the stylist, and the hair and makeup crew were all waiting to glam both Mary and you up. You were getting dressed in the bathroom, while the team was working on getting Mary ready. 

Once you were in your outfit, you came back into the main room and were met with Mary. She was dressed in a beautiful dress that fit her body perfectly. You hadn’t realised you were staring with your mouth open until you heard Mary's smug voice saying, “Like what you see?” Her comment makes you snap out of it and chuckle. “Yes I do. You look stunning, baby.” You walk closer to admire the dress she was showing off. “You look pretty incredible yourself.” The stylist had picked your outfit to have a slight match with Mary’s dress, so red touches all throughout the fit. 

You took some pictures together before you headed to the final destination of the night, the award show. There were a lot of familiar faces in the audience, both players you had met through Mary, and ones you’ve idolised as a football fan yourself. The atmosphere was great, and everyone was incredibly supportive of the winners. 

When the Women’s World XI section of the night started, you were sitting on the edge of your seat. Mary reached for your hand and held it tight, as the announcement started, and she squeezed it even tighter when her name was called as the goalkeeper. She stood up with tears in her eyes, and hugged you first before making her way to the stage, as the rest of the winners were being named. 

The stage filled with the winning players, you watched proudly as your girlfriend admired the trophy in her hands. You knew how much this meant for her, and were so incredibly happy for her talent to be recognised by her fellow footballers.

Winning the goalkeeper position in the World XI made Mary think that she would not win the Best Women’s Goalkeeper award as well, because that would be too much. So, when her name was announced she was shocked. “You did it baby! I am so proud of you. Go, get up on that stage and accept the award.” She placed her hands on your cheeks and pressed a kiss onto your lips, before she made her way to the stage.

You watched your girlfriend accept her second award of the evening with a big smile on your face. In your eyes there was no one more deserving than her, of course you were biassed, but she has been playing incredibly well and deserved to be recognized for her hard work. 

Mary walked up the the microphone for her speech, and you already knew you weren’t going to be able to hear it without shedding a tear,

“I think I talk about a lot obviously that it’s not been the easiest journey to get here, so I would say that I definitely took the scenic route.” Mary chuckled to the crowd at her own joke. “I had to wait a long time for this kind of success, but I think looking back now, it all makes total sense. Everything that I went through, I mean, we’re all humans, we all have struggles, right?” She was met with hundreds of nodding faces in the crowd. “But it just made me feel so much more prepared for the challenges we face today. And to be able to enjoy these moments so much more and realise how pretty unbelievable they are and to never take a single day for granted. So, if you’re struggling and you’re going through hell, keep going. And it’s never too late to be exactly who you are.” 

Mary’s words, and the feelings behind them did indeed make you tear up. Your girlfriend’s journey hadn’t been easy, but she was paving the way for young girls aspiring to be just like her, as well as advocate for mental health. You couldn’t be more proud of her, to once again use her platform to talk about the tough moments, to let the world know it isn’t all just rose coloured.

After a long, and busy day you found yourself in the back of the car on the way back home. A sleeping Mary’s head laying on your shoulder, with two trophy cases laying in the trunk.

A second chance to be happy

So, this VERY long fic was requested by Stormfalcon2018. I do know that this one had tired me enough that I will be taking a break before writing more requests but that doesn’t mean that I am done just yet.

So please enjoy!

If you would ask Marinette Dupain-Cheng about the worst time in her life. She would have talked about when Lila Rossi entered her life with her lies… causing her classmates to bully her and accuse her of things that weren’t true at all.

But now… now she would talk about how Adrien Agreste, her best and only friend, her protector, her partner, her kitty was killed by Lila Rossi all for the ladybug and black cat miraculous…

That day happened so fast, one minute she was outside waiting to meet with Adrien and the next… Lila had somehow gotten a hold of Hawkmoth and Mayura’s miraculous and unified them to become Farvona (which is Farfalla ‘butterfly’ and Pavona ‘peacock’ mixed together) … Mari has wondered at first how Lila got them… but she gave up at one point to find out how she got them when they were civilians. Her skin had gone from tanned to a shade of purple that wouldn’t be noticed if you didn’t look close enough.

Her hair was a mix of blue fading to purple in her usual style but while looking slightly tangled, her outfit was a dress with the style of a peacock at the end of the dress while at the waist and chest it had a butterfly design. The skirt was a dark purple with the blue peacock design while the top was dark blue with the purple butterfly design, for her footwear… it was a mix. She had a blue boot with purple butterflies on one foot and on the other was a purple heal with peacock style stocking.

The gloves were also weird… reaching midway to her shoulders, going from blue to purple at her hands. On her wrists were blue butterflies with peacock feather at the top. Her mask was weird too. One half was a butterfly with her eye being purple and the other half was peacock style with her eye being like Mayura’s… but the scariest part were the black veins where you can see her skin.

She also looked deranged… while also coughing at times… which meant the peacock miraculous was still damaged… but Lila didn’t care…

Cat Noir had gotten on the scene first, she demanded his miraculous but he refused and began fighting her to keep her distracted until Ladybug arrived. When she did… Lila was screaming nonsense about ‘how life wasn’t fair’ and how ‘Marinette ruined everything by not following her’ with many other things… but it was clear that something was wrong with her right now.

They begin to fight her together though; cataclysm was used on the fan and lucky charm destroyed the staff… but Lila didn’t stop attacking them “I need your miraculous! With it I can wish that Maribrat was never born!” she screamed as she grabbed a piece of her broken staff… and stabbed Cat Noir with it.

Marinette wasn’t scared since she knew he would come back to her… but after using her miraculous ladybug… he was still bleeding for some unknown reason…

It was then that he detransformed to Adrien. With the last of his strength, he gave her his ring “Make the wish… destroy the miraculous before she can make her wish my lady” he gasped out… but his life ended. She began to cry as Lila screamed about needing to wish him back to life now which scared her since it would mean her life will be lost so Lila can have what she wants… so quickly she works to reveal Gimmi the kwami of reality.

They asked Marinette for her wish “I wish for the miraculous… to be destroyed… so that no one can use them for evil and hurt other” she said which surprised Gimmi “You do know that by destroying them… there powers will search for a source to reside into… are you ready for that to happen?” they asked and she nodded as Lila slammed herself on the barrier that stopped her from trying anything.

“I am… I know they will return one day but even if for just a moment we can relax before someone finds them… that is fine with me… I only hope that they are found by someone with a good heart” she explained… she didn’t notice though the way the kwami of reality was watching her. Gimmi nodded and granted Mari her wish… next thing she knew, Marinette was blinded for a moment and then she found her earrings and the ring gone from her.

Lila screamed making her turn to her looking even more deranged “THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG!!” she screamed and moved to charge at her but Mari quickly moved to get back home. She ran until she entered her home where her parents were packing what they could from her room together.

The second her mom saw her… she ran over “You need to leave. If you don’t everyone will hunt you down for answers on what happened and you need to go now” she said making her nod as Tom gave her a few bags they were able to prepare her “Once your somewhere far and safe… send us a letter under a fake name with your address and will send you the rest of your things… but don’t come back” he said making Mari cry as they made her leave from the back… which was a good idea since when she got a few blocks away she heard screaming.

Panicked that they will find her she thought about where she could go that was far… next thing she knew she was in Japan… which confused her deeply “How did I get here?” she asked herself as she moved to get somewhere away from the public eye while trying to figure out an answer.

And then… she saw herself in a reflection…

On her body were the symbol of each miraculous almost like she got tattoo’s, her eyes were a brighter blue, she had pointed ears and her hair… it had grown long like when she becomes Pegabug but it waved as if there was a breeze where there wasn’t one in the first place. She was shocked to see them on her in the end… but she was happy since now no one could use these powers for evil purposes. For the next few months, she learned more about what she could do.

While she is faster, stronger and flexible… when she would use one of the powers the symbol will glow and her eyes will change to the color and symbol of the power, she was using… using two gives her a headache once done but now she understood what she could do. It was sad to not have the kwami’s by her side to talk to them but now no one would harm them… at first, she was worried about the peacock since it had been damaged… but when she used it nothing ended up happening to her which made her think that since it didn’t have a physical form now it was now no longer deemed damaged.

Which was good… she could use these powers to help her survive now… and then she got caught…

It happened at night. She was out to try and earn a little bit of money to eat something without needing to steal… she never wanted to steal but she no longer had a choice… which is when she tried to pick pocket Eraserhead… and failed. Shota was patrolling the area because of her; she had been described and Nezu asked him to bring her to him “I wish to meet her and learn more about her” he said and so Shota was here… and he caught her.

Marinette was terrified… which is why she used Venom on him to escape… but due to her still training herself since she understood she had used Voyage to get to Japan… it wore off once she was about a block away. As a result, Shota caught her quickly enough and brought her to UA to meet Nezu “He won’t hurt you and I won’t take you to the police if you come with me” he had said and here she was now.

They got to Nezu’s office where he sat at his desk with a smile towards Marinette “Hello there. I am Nezu, the principal of this school” he said as Mari sat down, she nodded towards him “I’m Marinette Dupain-Cheng” she said making him nod. For a while they went back and forth with questions and answers but there was one thing that Nezu kept reminding Marinette… she was safe here, no one was going to hurt her here, they only want to help and understand her while working with her to better control her quirk.

As a result… she told him and Shota everything. The miraculous, the wish, Hawkmoth, her partner, Lila Rossi, the bullying, Adrien’s death, her wish, her escape and her new look “I have been studying about my powers… well quirk as you put it. I understand somethings about it but I’m still learning” she explained making Nezu nod while Shota kept quiet.

“I do believe that living here as a student will be safer for you right now. The teachers here are pro hero’s while a number of students are working to become pro heroes after graduation… as a result you will be safe from anyone who could know you and try to do you harm” Nezu explained making her nod “I think my class will be the safest. They have been training since the League has targeted them so they are ready for anything” Shota spoke which startled Mari since she thought he had left at one point.

As a result things were done for her… she got an entire floor to herself where she could keep everyone safe if she lost control all of a sudden while also able to do her designs, her uniform was made with a different fabric since Mari now had sensitive skin… but at the end of the day she was safe from danger and was going to become a student once more… which is why she was nervous when she saw a boy with curly green hair and green eyes that reminded her of Adrien.

She wasn’t ready to think about her precious kitty that she lost by Lila’s hands… not yet… for now she wanted to heal and focus on school…

“Everyone… this is Marinette Dupain-Cheng. She is a new students approved by Nezu to be part of our class to help her train with her new quirk that she is still learning to use… you are to respect her and help her when she asks or accepts your offer” Shota explained making them all nod, due to not having an available desk for now she was to sit by Shota.

He then had them go outside to train… sadly the workout clothes were not possible to be redone so instead Mari made her own clothes to train in… they were red in the shade of Tikki with black lines. Of course, because she was still learning things… she wasn’t to train “For now Marinette will be observing. Once she is deemed ready, she will join you all” Shota explained making them all agree… except for Minoru Mineta.

And everyone learned at that moment… to not call her ‘princess’ ever…

“Sure, thing princess… enjoy your tea party while we actually put an effort to become hero’s” he said… and that caused a trigger in Marinette… she remembered all of the times that Adrien as Cat Noir called her princess… and the way Minoru said it towards her… angered her as it was tainting her memories of her partner. Next thing everyone knew, Marinette walked up to Minoru, activated Clout to throw Minoru while doing a suplex on him.

After Minoru was found and brought back… he was expelled “I have had enough of you” he simply said before walking away to find Mari… who had curled up into a ball on her bed in her room. He knew about what she went through in Paris… but all of that over a name? He needed to understand “What happened?” he asked her softly “My partner… he would call me that if I wasn’t transformed but he was… hearing Mineta say it in such a mocking tone… it destroyed the name for me” she explained making him nod.

“Take some time to rest and come back when your better” he said and then he left her room. She comes back an hour later, the class looked at her with worry but she ignored it as she took Minoru’s seat. Classes went on that day with no one bringing up the incident… she did get stopped by a few girls who wanted to thank her for getting Minoru expelled… turns out he’s a pervert who bothered many of the girls at the school and now they could relax.

Mari felt like she did something good and began to relax a bit. In the following days, Marinette slowly began to make friends in and out of her class. It made her happy… but she kept her distance of Izuku Midoriya… who reminded her too much of Adrien, he was so much like him and as a result she couldn’t be near him. This of course was noticed by Izuku… but instead of asking her about it, he decided to give her some time and space to adjust and come to him when she’s ready to talk.

On the other hand… she had no choice but to work with Katsuki Bakugo. While she is smart in class and her hand-to-hand combat was great… she needed help with her ‘quirk’ so Katsuki was assigned to help her master it. Of course, the guy was angry and screamed about having better things to do… but always waited for her in the training area and helped her learn more about what she could do.

He works hard also in making her a day-to-day routine and her diet to keep her in shape which really surprised her… but she followed it to the letter. But… overtime she began to notice that she developed feelings for him… but since she uncovered who he is… she decided to swallow down her feelings for him instead of telling Katsuki. Then one day, as she was waiting to train with Katsuki… she finds a little girl with silver hair and red eyes, her name was Eri and the two began to play together until Shota arrived.

While Eri was distracted with something she went to see Shota “If anything were to happen to Eri… I will hunt down every single villain in Japan and punch them… then hunt Minoru to punch him twice” Shota had to hold in his desire to laugh at what she said… but deep down he hopes it never happens. A while later, Katsuki arrives to get Mari in her usual training. As they leave, Shota begins to wonder when the two will start dating.

Things are going great… until Katsuki needs to talk to Mari. He went to her floor to review how her training is going, but she wasn’t there when he arrived so he walked around as he waited for her… and then he found her open diary. He saw it was open to her latest entry with a sketchbook right next to it. He decided to take a look and discovered hero suit designs for a good portion of the class… they were amazing as he saw notes about little details she made to help them.

He then turned to the diary… and went to read it… which he shouldn’t have done… since inside… was everything she felt about Katsuki… and how Izuku reminded her so much of her first crush…

Realizing he saw too much… he put everything back like it was and then left her room. Once back in his room he texted her to let her know he went and knocked on her door but she didn’t answer. She informed him that she was out with a few friends but would be back soon… this gave him time to look into this Adrien guy… and he uncovered more stuff about Marinette and her life in Paris.

Some stuff made sense to him… but other things sounded fake and decided to ask her side of the story when she was ready to talk about it. He also found a blog by a girl named Alya Cesaire who was begging Marinette to come back to Paris… but she wasn’t explaining why she wanted her back or anything… this told him she was hiding something important and decided to make sure that Mari never went back to Paris no matter what.

One day, Mari was outside in the school yard under a tree simply sketching both outfits and hero suit designs for her friends and classmates “Hey there. Mind if I join you?” she looked up and saw Izuku. She couldn’t run or anything and so she simply nodded for him to sit by her, he quickly thanked her and once seated… began to read a book he brought with him. She was so nervous with Izuku near her right now… especially with how much he reminded her of Adrien, it broke her heart knowing she wasn’t able to save him in the end but she hoped he was at peace right now.

After a while… Katsuki walked over “Oi, I’m sitting here” he simply said and then sat down on the opposite side Izuku sat… which of course made Marinette even more nervous since her crush was here now. For a while, things were fine and quiet… and then Katsuki took a look at what she was doing “Damn! That’s an amazing design for my hero outfit!” Katsuki said which caused Mari to startle from his voice.

He pointed out how some parts of the design were perfect to help him while asking her questions about other things… which Mari was more then happy to explain her ideas to help him pick things out and giving his own ideas. Izuku quietly watched them talking with a smile on his face… before getting up to get back inside “I think that was enough to help them get closer” he whispered to himself while going inside to find Mina watching the two with excitement.

For the next few weeks things are getting better for Mari. She is now able to train with the class and as a result they were able to see her use her quirk that she named Miraculous which amazed everyone. Then one day while she was working out “I’ve been meaning to ask… did you pick your hero name yet?” Katsuki asked making her stop to look at him for a moment “I have actually… I went with Miracle because I want to be seen as a miracle when things seem to be over and they need one” she explained making him nod before going back to their workout.

Once they were done, Mari was just about to go back to her room “Hey… can we talk?” she was surprised with Katsuki’s question since he wasn’t one to ask someone to talk… most of the time he will drag others away to talk to them. They walked to his room and went inside, there she sat on his bed while he sat at his desk “So… what did you want to talk about exactly?” she asked as he kept quiet for a moment… and then he spoke “I like you. I’ve started to like you over time as we trained together and I hope… we can try going on a few dates” he explained…

Mari looked at him in shock as she thought back to Adrien and how badly she always wanted to confess to him… but never got to do it. She slowly stood up “I… I think… I” she tried to reject him but he cut her off “I know about Adrien Agreste… how he was your first crush and how he died before your eyes… I accidently read your diary” he explained making her look at him in shock as she fell into his bed.

And then… just like with Nezu and Shota… she told Katsuki everything that happened to her until she arrived at UA…

It hurt her greatly. To reopen old wounds that were still healing in her opinion… but he had a right to know what he was signing up to by dating her. Once she was done telling Katsuki everything… everything was silent between them, she was scared he would throw her out and tell everyone to make them hate her… but instead he pulled her in for a hug, he was silent the whole time as Mari busted into tears and began to sob about wishing to fix what happened.

It took a while, but soon she calmed down and Katsuki pulled away slightly from her “I know this might be too soon… but I know someone who can help” he said making her nod and follow him out of the dorm building to visit Toshinori Yagi aka All Might. She was surprised at this but after telling him what happened to her… he revealed how he too lost people and how he also wished in the past that he could fix it all “Sadly no one can go back in time to fix what happened… so we must move forward” he explained which opened her eyes to his perspective of things.

It also made her feel a little lighter about the guilt of losing Adrien…

Overtime, Mari began to feel better from everything that happened… sure she still felt some guilt about not being able to save Adrien but sometimes these things can happen. A few times she would talk about going back to Paris to visit Adrien’s grave and visit her parents which made everyone happy to hear… but Katsuki was worried about something bad happening so he decided to go to Paris with her just to make sure nothing goes wrong.

The first thing they did after landing… was go find Adrien’s grave, Katsuki was the one to find it “Here lies Adrien Agreste. Loving son, loving friend… and loving partner until the end” he read which told Mari that after being revealed behind the masks… his father must have requested it for her.

It broke her heart to see his grave… but since she had to leave so quickly… she had to miss his burial “I wish I had brought some flowers… at least he deserved some from the partner he swore to protect until the very end” she said as tears welled up in her eyes. Katsuki didn’t say a thing as he knew she was in pain right now “Miss Dupain-Cheng?” they turned to find a man with gray hair and a woman with black hair and a streak of red watching them…

Katsuki thought they were going to harm her… but Mari stopped him “It’s alright! That’s Adrien’s father and Nathalie” she said making him stop. Gabriel walked closer and set the flowers he brought down “How have you been?” he asked making Mari look at him with a smile “I have been slowly healing from everything” she explained making him nod.

They took a moment of silence together for Adrien, then Gabriel offered to give them a ride to the bakery “It’s better then for someone to figure out you’re here” he said making them nod and follow him and Nathalie to their car. Once inside, Gabriel told her what happened after she left “The media crews came to the bakery demanding to question about being Ladybug and your wish. Lila was taken away as she was seen as insane and in need of help… I guess it makes sense with the peacock miraculous being damaged” he explained making Mari nod… but Katsuki was confused

“Damaged?” he asked making Mari explain “When a miraculous is damaged it causes the wearer to weaken slowly the more, they use it… they also begin to get sick over time until they are unable to move” she explained making him nod “In Rossi’s case while it made her sick… it also affected her mental state” Gabriel added making Katsuki nod to his words.

“Sadly, the public believed that you failed to save Adrien and were selfish with the wish… I however knew why you didn’t and defended you as I believed you did the right thing” he said making Mari smile at his words… soon they arrived at the bakery and the two got out. The two were silent for a moment “You could have told her that we were Hawkmoth and Mayura… yet you didn’t” Nathalie said making Gabriel “It’s for the best… not much I can do and besides… I would rather die with this secret” he explained making Nathalie nod to his words.

Tom quickly rushed the two inside before anyone could see Marinette, once in there home, Sabine moved to hug her daughter “Were so happy to see your alright” she said making her smile from hearing her mother say this. They all sat down together to talk. Mari and Katsuki explained what happened in Japan while Tom and Sabine talked about what happened in Paris since she left.

“We barely go out now with all the reporters blocking us to demand answers… so anything we know is thanks to Gabriel, Nadja, Kagami with her mother, Clara and Luka with his parents” Sabine explained making Mari nod. Sadly… she felt like this was all her fault with everything that was happening to her parents… but Katsuki gently took hold of her hands “Tell me about Alya and this blog she has” he said making Sabine curse in mandarin while Tom looked angry.

Mari sighed at this “So you found them huh? Well, the Ladyblog was the blog she posted about me as Ladybug and Cat Noir when we fight akuma’s. The other blog was to reach out to me and make me come back” she explained making him nod “We sued her after she refused to take it down… but we sued her twice as she didn’t want to stop… but the judge warned her with jail time the third time she does it” Sabine explained making Katsuki sigh.

Tom and Sabine had to go back down to the bakery to work… leaving Mari and Katsuki alone “Let’s go to my room for now” she offered making Katsuki agree. They relax there for a while… and then after Mari put contacts and a wig on… they went out to walk around Paris before going back to the bakery to rest for the day.

For there week in Paris, it was pretty much what they did in the end, Katsuki was amazed at how relaxed and happy Mari was right now which made him feel relief. While some places they went to were ones Mari liked to go to… other places were unknown to her which was fun as he got to learn more about Mari in the end. She did ask to stop by to see Kagami and her mother to thank them for helping her parents and he agreed since he wanted her to see a friend.

The two were very happy to have her visit and promised to come see her in Japan soon enough. Katsuki did worry that they would encounter her old classmates but so far nothing happened which was a good thing in the end, soon it was sadly time for the couple to return to Japan.

Tom and Sabine promised to come visit them in Japan at some point… and they were all surprised to find Gabriel there, he offered to drive them to the airport and they accepted the offer. Mari thanked him for everything before he returned to the car… knowing full well that he will never see Marinette again… unless he visits her in Japan. As they head to where they are to board their flight… Mari froze when she saw Chloe who was walking in their direction.

Katsuki wasn’t happy about this but he waited to see what she does. Chloe came a little closer and smiled towards Mari “You look good Marinette… I guess leaving Paris was a good thing for you… just like it was for me” she said making Mari look at her in surprise, she was so used to her calling her by her last name so it was a big surprise to her in the end. Katsuki then moved to protect Mari “I won’t let you hurt my girlfriend so just leave instead of trying to hurt her” he said making Chloe look him in shock… before a sad smile appeared on her face “I deserved that… especially with everything I’ve done” she replied and this took Katsuki by surprise.

She looked around for a moment “I know a spot that should be private to talk in without anyone figuring out it's you” she said making them nod and follow her to a private room. Once inside they sat down in a moment of silence “I’m actually only here to visit my dad, hang-out with Sabrina, visit Adrien and then go to your parent’s bakery before heading back to New York” she explained which surprised Mari.

She was living in New York? She always believed that Chloe would travel but live in Paris “I’ve been seeing a therapist since Adrien’s death. Therapist believed that a new scenery could help me heal from everything… and help me see things in a new perspective” she explained making Mari nod in understanding. Chloe took a moment to breathe which Katsuki used to watch her, he simply couldn’t believe that someone like her changed “So… what have you been doing?” he asked to try and start a conversation.

Which made Chloe look at him “After I moved to New York to live with my mom… I discovered I had a half-sister. It was a huge change for me but I adjusted slowly thanks to her. I was even able to make actual friends and change myself” she explained and it was then that Mari saw that Chloe’s hair while longer was tied in a braid, her outfit was actually a cute dress and her make-up was better than the blue eyeshadow she always wore… it actually looked good on her and Mari actually wanted to design her a few outfits even.

She also noticed… how calm she was. She wasn’t showing off like she used to or anything… she was actually smiling and showing she was changing for the better. After a bit more talking, Chloe got up and said that Sabrina was waiting for her “If were lucky… maybe will see each-other again” and with that she left the room they were in first. Katsuki looked out to make sure no one was watching and then they left the room.

Mari watched Chloe walking away and smiled “I think… I’ll try to contact her” she whispered making Katsuki look at her as they walked “You sure? This is already a huge step for you” he said making her smile and nod to him “Yeah. She’s clearly changed and I want to try for us to become friends” she explained making him nod as they walked off to where they were boarding their flight to Japan.

Sadly… Chloe wasn’t the only one who saw Mari… Alya Cesaire who was at the airport to welcome her sister Nora… had seen and recognized Mari from the few pictures people were able to take of her new look before she vanished from Paris…

Once they were back at UA… the class greeted them and helped Mari to relax from everything that just happened. They knew that going back was a huge deal but they hoped she would open up about everything once she was ready. Katsuki handed out what they bought for each of them making them all thank the two for what they bought… but Katsuki was more focused on Marinette then the thanks he was getting.

Once he was done handing the gifts out… he then went to her side to bring her some comfort from everything, this was also noticed by Izuku who went and asked Katsuki what happened later in the day “We saw Chloe… the girl that bullied her before Lila came to there class. She was different from the Chloe she remembered… was actually better than the one she knew” he explained but it worried Izuku greatly since Mari was quiet since they returned from Paris, but Katsuki believes that she simply needs time to wrap her head around the new Chloe.

Sadly… things weren’t going their way… as Alya caused trouble for them…

She had followed them somehow and found out that Mari was in Japan. She told anyone in Paris that would listen and as a result… they demanded for Japan to send Marinette to Paris as she had questions to answer. As a result… she was terrified of going back and locked herself up in her room in fear. Then Nezu got a call from the hero commission… and it was about Marinette and how they wanted answers about her and why Paris wanted her… sadly he had to inform Marinette of this and ask for her permission to tell the commission everything… and she gave it to him.

As a result… Nezu told the commission everything Mari had told him, the commission called a week later “Due to the fact that Marinette Dupain-Chen has a powerful quirk after absorbing the miraculous… it is clear that Paris will abuse her if she were to be sent back… so she will not return unless she wishes to visit her family and friends” the head said before hanging up.

This also caused Mari to need a therapist since her mental health had gone back to when she was in pain from what Lila caused her. Nezu got her an amazing therapist that gave her time to speak and only brought up something when Mari was ready to talk about it. A month later she was back to being the happy Marinette they know so very well… but sadly things didn’t get to stay happy for long.

Since Japan refused to send Mari back… Alya with the entire class… and Lila flew to Japan to force Marinette to return with them to Paris so she can answer questions… and bring back Adrien like she should have done from the very start. Her new friends on the other hand… refused to let them try anything but it wasn’t enough as Mari panicked and used Burrow to escape… and Katsuki followed after her.

Once he passed through… he quickly saw that they weren’t in Japan anymore… but in Paris…

It wasn’t long before he found his girlfriend freaking out over where they were… well when they were actually. From he could hear her say… this was the day her partner was killed by Lila; Katsuki knew that they had to move away from sight but he needs to calm her down first “Come on Mari… slowly breathe” he said gently to her but it was like he was talking to a wall at the moment… he tried to find other ways to have her talk and relax though “Hey! Is everything alright here?”

He looked up to find a boy dressed like a black cat… and it made Mari spiral “No! She’ll kill him! Even if we get rid of her weapons, she still kills him! Then I make the wish and then escape!” she claims which cause the guy to look at her in shock “M’lady? Is that you?” he asked as he slowly walks over while he detransforms.

And at long last… Katsuki was able to put a face on Adrien… since he couldn’t find any recent picture of him from before he died…

“Guess it makes sense for her to become the miracle box. Since she is the guardian, we deemed her safe and went to her after she makes the wish” a little black creature says which causes Katsuki to become confused on what that thing was “That’s Plagg. A kwami that helps me transform” Adrien explains as he moves to gently hold Mari into his arms “Princess… you need to calm down… panicking over me isn’t going to change anything” he explained and that caused her to calm down… and simply cry in his arms.

Plagg flew over to Mari’s side as Adrien got up “I’ll be right back” he said and got off the roof to do something, Katsuki watched Mari as she looked down in shame… but silently walked over and sat down with her “So that’s him right? Your partner?” he asked making her nod “We have worked together to try and take down Hawkmoth. Then we got a few temporary holders to help… but he got Mayura” she explained making him nod in understanding.

A while later… Adrien returned with a small bag in hand. He hands the bag to Mari who was about to open it when he stopped her “Please… go back to your time… seeing me die once is enough… once back in your time you can look” Adrien explained making Mari nod as she cried. They stood up together and were quiet for a moment before Adrien moved to hug her “Thank you… not just for being an amazing partner… but for being an amazing friend to me” he said making Mari smile and nod.

Adrien then turned to Plagg and nodded “Plagg… claws out!” he said and with that he transformed into Cat Noir before there eyes. Cat Noir turned towards Katsuki and glared “If you hurt her or make her cry… I will do everything in my power to haunt you and have you sent to hell” he said before leaving them there to go and fight “You got it” Katsuki said softly before taking Mari’s hand “Let’s go back” he said making her smile towards the direction her partner left before nodding.

She activated Burrow once more and they soon returned to their time. Mari then opened the bag Adrien gave her… and found a gorgeous jewelry set of yin and yang jewelry based off them back when she was Ladybug… and Cat Noir was alive “Thank you kitty” she whispered as she put on the Cat Noir pieces… then turned to give Katsuki the Ladybug pieces.

But he rejected them with a smile, she didn’t push him and put them back in the bag before walking together where her old classmates were in a screaming match with her friends. Before getting any closer… Mari stopped “I just… want to see something” she said making Katsuki nod “Sublimation” she said with her eyes closed “What is that power?” he asked making her smile “It’s the power of the rooster… I can give myself any power I desire… and I gave myself the power to see and hear the dead” she said and opened her eyes… and busted into tears.

Because right there… next to Katsuki… was Adrien Agreste… with beautiful white angel wings…

Adrien smiled towards her “I wondered when you would try that” he said softly making her giggle towards him “It’s good to see you again” she replied making him nod before looking serious “After my death… I watched you get a new look… and watched you runaway. I saw myself getting buried… and how Alya got everyone to believe… that you were to blame for my death” he explained making her eyes widen in shock “I couldn’t stay in Paris so I went looking for you… when I found you, I was then assigned to watch over you” he finished making her smile.

With all of this information… Mari walked over to where everyone was “All of you… go back to Paris since I won’t be returning with monsters like you who protect a cold-hearted killer like Lila Rossi” she said making Alya and the other’s look at her in shock to her words. But it affected them still… some looked nervous while Lila looked pissed from what she called her.

But Alya Cesaire… she was the most pissed… because she wanted Mari to pay for the pain and suffering, she put her through… especially with Adrien’s death…

“You have got to be kidding me right now! This mindset of yours about Lila needs to stop! You are the one who refused to bring Adrien back with that wish so you killed him in the end!” she shouted which made Mari’s friends glare… but none of them spoke “But she wasn’t the one who went and stabbed Adrien which caused his death… Lila did that” they all turned to Juleka who glared towards Lila who began to sputter “That’s right! Maybe there’s a reason why Mari didn’t use the wish to bring him back! So, it’s not her fault… Lila is to blame since she didn’t stop” Kim was the next to speak.

One by one, Mari’s old classmates spoke in agreement… but Alya wasn’t done “Well it doesn’t matter! Mari is to blame and should fix it by using the wish to bring Adrien-“ “Then who should die in his place Alya? In order for him to be brought back… someone needs to die” Mari cut her off which made everyone go silent from the shock her words left them in.

But she wasn’t wrong… the wish to happen needs balance… so for Adrien Agreste to be brought back to life… someone else needs to be picked to die. Alya kept her mouth shut from Mari’s question. She had no words to snap back at her with since Marinette’s words echoed in her head… But Mari had one last thing to say “Why don’t you call me back once you have a name for me to take Adrien’s place… but now leave before we get the police involved” she said before she with her friends left.

Once inside her room… she cried from everything but that entire time she cried… she felt warmth around her… which told her Adrien was doing his best to comfort her. A while later, Katsuki came to see her “They left for the airport… wonder when she’s gonna call you with a name” he said as he set a tray of food down making Mari smile towards him as they relaxed.

Time went by and Alya never contacted Mari with a name… she at times believed she would call and tell her to give up her own life to bring back Adrien since in Alya’s mind… she killed him but she never did… but Gabriel did call her “I found out about what you told your old classmates… and I would like for you to think about ending Lila Rossi’s life to bring my son back. She murdered him after all” he told her which surprised Mari.

She spoke to Adrien though and told her that it was her choice since she was making the wish. This hurts her because this girl lied about her and caused her to be bullied… and she wasn’t going to get punished for it. The class helped where they could while never bringing the wish up around her as it was still a sensitive subject for Marinette. Katsuki would at times be there for her just to hold her and never spoke because he knew she needed comfort and not words.

And then… one day while in class… she was asked to go to Nezu’s office… where pro hero Hawks and a member of the hero commission waited for her with Nezu…

This confused her since she didn’t know what was going to happen “Please sit Marinette… there is much to discuss” Nezu said making her nod and slowly sit down, no one spoke for a moment… and then Hawks spoke “It’s come to the commission's attention that your old classmates visited you a good while back right?” he asked making her nod.

“Alya believed I killed Adrien and that I should use the wish to bring him back… so I told her to give me the name of someone who should die so Adrien can be brought back” she explained making him nod “Well then… someone is on the line and requested to speak to you… were not forcing you just so you know” he explained making her nod before taking the phone “Hello? Marinette speaking” she said with slight nerves… but the person on the line surprised her “Hello Marinette… how have you been?” asked Nora Cesaire… Alya’s big sister.

“Nora!? Why are you calling?” she asked quite surprised by the call. The woman chuckled at her words “Look… I’m not gonna dance around this subject so I’m going to make this quick… when Alya came back from seeing you… she ranted about what you said about the wish so we know about it… we all sat down and talked… the twins were there too… and we want you to think about having Alya take Adrien’s place” she explained which shocked Mari.

“Are you sure? This is… a huge deal” she explained making Nora sigh “I know it is… but Ella and Etta are traumatized because of Alya now… see after you left… Alya somehow got into not only her college fund… but there’s and used a majority to get Lila to return to Paris… and they now hate her and do there best to not be near her since she brings Lila over often since her mom kicked her out… she’s no longer the same girl we knew and loved” Nora explained.

They talked a little more before Nora reminded her to at least think about it before they hung up. Nezu allowed her to return to her dorm building where she went straight to her room to think things over for a bit… she didn’t really know what to do about all of this right now since this was a big choice to make.

She then decided to talk to Adrien about this and really listen to his opinion… and not him telling her that she makes the final decision about all of this. Once she could see and hear Adrien, he explained his feelings on the whole thing… pretty much how this could affect things if one of them took his place. It took a while but, in the end, “Alya would be best… that way the twins college fund will never be touched to help Lila” he explained making her nod “Alright then… Gimmi reveal yourself” she said… but nothing happened.

This of course confused her since that’s what she had to say to speak to Gimmi to make the wish “Maybe since you didn’t call for Plagg and Tikki… you need to just… make the wish?” he suggested making her nod “Alright then… I wish for Adrien Agreste to be brought back to life… and for Alya Cesaire to die in his place” she said… but still nothing.

This made her wonder… if there would be no wishes granted…

She tried to call out for Tikki and Plagg but nothing happened “If I have to say that I need to reveal myself I’m going to scream” she whined as she called her whole name to reveal herself… and it happened at long last. Adrien while a ghost… was the only one who saw it happen. Marinette began to glow, her eyes were white, her markings glowed and her hair looked like a galaxy.

She made the wish and the next thing he knew… he was in his bed waking up, he quickly moved and looked into what happened to Alya and sure enough instead of him dying with his and Mari’s identities getting revealed… Alya died after being crushed by a piece of a building Lila destroyed. They defeated Lila of course but because Alya didn’t live again… he told her to wish the miraculous gone… then he told her to run in which leads to now.

He sighed in relief at the fact it worked… but now he needed to make sure that UA and the hero commission knew about how Mari can grant the wishes now “Let’s hope she’s alright” he said to himself as he got dressed “But let’s plan how to make our ‘friends’ pay for what they did to you princess” he said before leaving his room to get to work on his little plan. He knew it would mean cutting ties with them… but they pushed him to do this after what he saw them do after he died…

He didn’t even care that Alya was screaming at him right now… as she is slowly being dragged down to hell by rotten and cold hands into a blazing hole where only she can hear the laughter and whispers of what would be soon done to her once she joins them in hell for her sins while she was alive… she knew that Mari made the wish… but cursed her for making her pay for Adrien to be brought back when she has been such an amazing friend to her from the start.

Sadly, she was wrong… so very wrong… for Alya hasn’t been Mari’s friend since she believed Lila about Mari bullying her…

Mari woke up in her bed, a glass of water on her nightstand and food on her desk with a note next to it. She drinks the water and slowly walks to her desk to read the note… Nezu wrote to inform her that two days after she fainted Nora called and she with her family still remembered everything and thanked her.

He then explained that she had been out for three days now but that she was excused from classes, Katsuki took notes for her and asked that she informs him in advance when she’s going to make a wish. She sighed as she wrote down this new information about the wish. Ever since the miraculous became part of her… she took notes of everything that happens to her and what she was able to do… and she needed to take notes about the wish so she knew how it works now.

While she did feel bad for ending Alya’s life… she brought it upon herself by hurting her family without a care in the world for there feelings. She wasn’t sure if anyone else will remember the truth of who really died but if her old classmates remember… then she hopes it makes them understand how serious she is about not coming back home to Paris. After eating her meal, she grabbed the dishes and went to leave the room only to find Katsuki there about to open the door to enter her room.

The blonde looked tired and drained. But the second he saw the dishes in her hands… he took them and left to clean them… leaving her to go back into her room to grab her things to get cleaned up and a change of clothes. She did encounter a few of her friends who greeted her… but she took her shower and returned to her room to dry her hair… and then Katsuki came back inside with food.

He set the food down on her desk and then set down a notebook “This contains the notes I took for you. Teachers are allowing you some time to read them over before giving you homework” he explained which made Marinette nod to his words. They were then quiet for a moment “We all saw a new photoshoot Adrien was in… and how Alya died… seems like you made the wish” he explained making her slowly nod.

“Turns out that after Lila was sent away… Alya stole her little sister’s college funds with her own to get her back to Paris… she didn’t even care about how much it hurt them” she explained making his eyes widen as he looks at her “She did… what?” he asked making her sigh and explain what Nora told her before she made the wish.

It was a huge shock for Katsuki… but in the end… he understood what Marinette did by wishing her to take Adrien’s place in the afterlife…

“So… does anyone else know?” he asked making her nod “From what I can understand… the Cesaire’s remember so if our friends remember then that means my old classmates remember too” she replied making him slowly nod before sighing. The moment had gone to silence once more and Mari didn’t feel like anything at the moment… then Katsuki got up “Let’s go take a walk” he said all of a sudden but she still agreed and followed him outside.

The walk felt nice in her opinion and she enjoyed herself greatly, they chatted for a little while before heading back to there dorm building… where everyone waited for there return. They didn’t say anything at first since Mari had only just woken up a while ago… so they wanted to give her some time to herself to rest and recover from the wish.

After that… things went back to normal for Mari. She went back to class; she worked hard and contacted her parents to talk for a bit. Mari was really happy because Katsuki also introduced her to his parents… causing them to deeply desire for her to work with them at their fashion company which made her excited since that meant experience and learning more about making clothes.

They also went on some dates together which caused them to get closer to one another… while also hanging-out with some friends which made her have so much fun with them. One day she got contacted by Gabriel who thanked her for bringing his son back and offered to help her whenever she needed help at any point in time which made her thank him for the offer before going back to her new life.

But who would have thought… that she would need to ask for his help… so soon after he contacted her?

Lila Rossi blasted her anywhere she could think out… not only was she claiming that Mari killed Alya… but she claimed that Mari stole the miraculous, stole her clothing designs and lied about everything that happened in Paris between them to make her look like the victim while Lila was the proclaimed bad guy. Her friends were angry about the whole thing since Lila was clearly not giving up on trying to ruining Marinette’s life at all.

Mari planned to inform Gabriel about the situation… she hoped he would be able to help clear her name from Lila’s actions. She sent him an email explaining the situation with the high hopes that he would be able to help her with Lila and what she was doing at the moment to her image “She’s clearly trying everything she can to force you to come back to Paris” Ochako huffed out in anger as the others nodded in agreement to her words… Mari agreed with her too since this was her clear demand… for her to come back to face her actions towards her and Alya.

But Gabriel and Adrien had other plans in mind…

One morning, Mari woke up like usual in her room with the hopes that Lila has decided to take a break of bullying her. She did her morning routine like usual before going to greet everyone as she didn’t want to check her phone just yet to see what Lila did to her image… Katsuki went to her side with his phone in his hand “You need to see this” he simply said before handing her his phone.

She looked at him curious as to why he wanted her to see something but the look on his face told her to ask later… so she took a look to see what was so important that she needed to see over greeting her friends that morning… and it was then that she saw a video… of Adrien speaking up about Lila and her lies about herself to get friends to do things for her and how everything she claimed about Mari was a lie.

He went on to give examples of lies she told and proved they were lies from the very start. Even Gabriel joined in to reveal how Lila tricked him into believing she was an actual model with experience… they also got Kagami with her mom, Luka with his parents and Chloe came back to reveal some lies Lila told her that at the time she thought were true “Is she going to be punished?” she asked after Katsuki took the phone from her.

“From what was said on the news… her mom was screaming at her as police took her away… she defamed a bunch of people with her lies and they are all suing her for that and the lies she made of them” Mina said as she laughed at the video of Lila getting taken away why police while her mom screams at her.

Clearly, she was enjoying that part of the situation, she then sighed in relief at the news until Shota walked in “Marinette… there’s someone in Nezu’s office who asked to see you” he said making her look at him in shock to what he said. Everyone who heard him became worried about Mari but Only Katsuki moved to take her hand in his “Let’s do this together” he simply said making her smile and nod as they then followed Shota to Nezu’s office…

Where she found Felix Graham de Vanilly waiting for her “Hello Marinette… I hope I didn’t interrupt anything” he said while Katsuki looked at him confused “He and Adrien are cousin’s” she simply said which shocked Katsuki while Felix got up “That’s right and I wish to thank you for bringing back my cousin… I know that it must have been a difficult choice for you to make” he said making Mari slowly nod to his words.

“If you mean picking to kill the liar or the bad ex-friend… then yeah sure a hard choice to make” Katsuki said making Shota sigh and Nezu softly laugh at his words. Mari shakes her head at this before turning towards Felix “What can I do for you Felix? It’s clear you’re here for a reason” she said making him nod and sits down once more “This… may come to you as a shock… but I’m not human… but a sentimonster my father created after my uncle lent him the damaged peacock miraculous because he and my mother couldn’t have kids” he explained which shocked everyone in the room.

But for Mari… this meant that Gabriel was Hawkmoth and Nathalie was Mayura… and he wanted the wish… more then likely for something relating to his wife Emily “So what… you want her to wish you as a human?” Katsuki asked “That’s the tricky part to the wish… by making me human… someone must become a sentimonster” Felix explained making the room go silent.

No one said anything after that… but Mari had to ask Felix something “Who do you have in mind to take your place?” she asked him and in response… Felix smirked “Well isn’t it obvious? I want Lila Rossi to become my puppet so I can make her suffer” he explained making her nod to his request “I’ll get to it later today. Contact me with an update for changes” she explained making Felix nod, hand her his ring and was then escorted out by Shota…

Leaving Mari and Katsuki to walk back to her dorm room in silence… only then did she spoke “I need to have something of her’s that’s important to her… something that she would freak out over if it went missing… only with that in hand can I bound Lila to it and make her take Felix’s place as a sentimonster. Katsuki nodded and then left her room to get someone.

That someone… was none other… than Toru Hagakure…

Katsuki explained her quirk and how she was perfect for this “All you need to do is send me into her room and I’ll just sneak around until I find what’s precious to her and then bring it back to you” Toru explained. Mari nodded to this plan but made her promise to text once she got something from Lila, after Toru promised to do so she activated Voyage and Toru was soon in Paris… right on the roof of the building Lila lives in.

She moved into the shadows and stripped herself before moving to go down to a window so she could peak inside to see who lived there… she continued until she got to an open window and saw Lila in the bedroom doing her makeup before leaving the building. Toru waited a moment and sure enough after entering the room… Lila rushed back to close the window and go to a jewelry box.

And then… Toru saw it… Lila gently plucked out a gorgeous ring with a lily design around the ring… and in the center… was an emerald…

Lila spoke quietly in Italian with her eyes closed, once she was done. She put the ring back into the box and ran out… Toru waited once more just to make sure Lila didn’t come back inside for anything. Then she went to the box and took the ring, opened the window to get out, closed it and went up to the roof where she got dressed and texted Mari that she got something.

A portal soon opened and Toru went through… the second it closed she revealed the ring “I don’t speak Italian but she ran back in to say something to it… maybe a prayer?” she said making Katsuki nod while Mari thanked her. Once she left Mari got up “I’ll look into the past to see where the ring came from in her family… then I’ll try and mess around to change where it goes so Lila never has it” Mari explained making Katsuki nod in understanding.

After going through Burrow. Mari got to work to look into Lila’s past… and she saw a lot of pain for people she lied about to be better than them and make them vanish. She sighed as she kept looking… and then she found what she needed. Turns out she had a grandmother on her mom’s side who passed away before Lila was born, she had been conceived for two months before her grandmother passed and the ring was handed to Lila’s mom to give to her first daughter.

Mari decided to look into Felix’s family and discover that his maternal grandparents were in Italy at the time she lived… and decided to go in. It wasn’t hard for her to make an illusion of herself to look different, then all she had to do was discover Felix’s grandparents and then bump into Lola which was the name of Lila’s grandmother. And then help her to meet Felix’s grandparents.

As a result… they became friends… and then knew about the ring… but Mari wasn’t done… for she had to warn to woman about her granddaughter…

She turned herself into a fortune teller… Lola loves them and believes them often when they say things that end up happening with no information from her. When Lola walked by, she acted “Oh my! Miss Lola is your name correct?” she asked making Lola turn to look at her “Yes? Is something wrong?” she asked making Mari nod “Yes! Your granddaughter is so vile in the future! Your daughter failed in so many ways!” she exclaimed making her eyes widen.

“But how!? I can help her and her husband raise her, no?” Lola asked making Mari sigh “Sadly no… two months after she is conceived you pass away. Your granddaughter Lila lies about her father and causes her parents to divorce” Mari began to explain making Lola gasp… and then… she points to her ring “That ring… you hand it to your daughter to gift to Lila after she is old enough to understand it’s value… but she sells it a few days after receiving it and then lies to her mother about where it is" she lies making Lola go pale as she looks at her ring

“What do I do then? I wrote in my will that my daughter must give it to her first daughter” she explained making Mari smile “There is a way… there is a couple you met and became friends with… their daughter Amélie will have a son named Felix… he cares for antiques better then Lila does… if you will it to Amélie to gift to her first son then he will care for it as if it were a child” she explained making Lola slowly nod “I need to think about all of this… but thank you” she said before walking away.

Once far enough… she uses Burrow, drops the illusion and goes into the future to where sure enough… miss Rossi has become desperate to have a child and her husband is ready to do anything to have one with her. This made her happy… and now she had a wish to make… but she would need to possibly work with the timeline to make sure it all goes to plan “I’ll need to check on the past after I wake up from making the wish… if things don’t go like, I hope… I can just make a deal with the Gabriel from the past to save his wife from the negative effect of the peacock miraculous” she said to herself.

Once back… she made the wish for Felix to be human… and Lila becomes the sentimonster. She passes out and Katsuki catches her… and places her in her bed to sleep there for the next three days. When she wakes up again, she eats the food Katsuki left for her to eat and then uses Burrow to look into the new timeline… and sure enough it changed perfectly.

Gabriel went to Italy one day and bumped into mister Rossi, they talked and one day he reveals the peacock miraculous. Mister Rossi steals the ring from Amélie to create Lila… then gets rid of the ring… causing Mari to go there and put the ring back where it was before he took it, she then secretly goes to Gabriel further along the timeline “Your wife’s ailment… I can save her from it… but you need to hide me for three days… and never tell anyone about this” she said… Gabriel accepts and hides her in his office.

There… she makes the wish… for the negative effects of the peacock miraculous… to be transferred to mister Rossi… which kills him later on…

When she wakes up again. She asks if Gabriel took the brooch from Emilie “It needs to be fixed or else she will get sick again” she had explained to him before making the wish “I locked it away from her… I said that something could have happened to her with it being damaged and told her I would try to fix it… I will fix it yes?” he asks making her smile and nod “It will take you making some akuma’s to get the ladybug and black cat miraculous but yes you will fix it” she replied and then she left… she used Burrow and after that… the timeline she knew was there.

Gabriel becomes Hawkmoth, Nathalie becomes Mayura but the peacock miraculous is fixed… so she secretly goes back to her time but in Paris… to use the rooster’s power Sublimation… to grant her the power to heal someone of the negative effects of a damaged miraculous one time for the person.

Nathalie of course woke up and turned to Mari “So you found out” she said quietly “Felix was a sentimonster… he told me what Gabriel did… I just swapped it to Lila’s dad” she revealed before leaving and using Voyage to get to her dorm room. She leaves her room to find Katsuki “How are things looking for Lila?” she asked making Katsuki chuckle.

“Felix called… said that thanks to the ring he was able to fully control Lila on what she says and does… and ruined her at school by getting her caught when she tried to lie or steal… resulting in her expulsion multiple times” he revealed making her nod with a faint smile. But then he revealed a box “He sent the ring to you though… said something about having enough fun with when growing up and how you have a right to make her pay now” he said making Mari stare at the box… and then she shakes her head.

“It wouldn’t feel right to me… controlling someone to ruin them… it feels wrong to me” she explained making him nod… then he took the ring out of the box “Then I’ll do it… I don’t know her well other then what you said about her so I don’t care” he explained making her nod “Also… can you make me a sentimonster? One that can help me see and hear what she’s doing?” he asked making her nod.

She made a sentimonster that could be controlled with his phone and with it he made her do what she lied about… if she said she didn’t have any money left because she donated it… he made her do it for real… same with her clothes and many more things about helping others. Sometimes Lila would freak out but Katsuki would make her believe that she wanted to do this… and then she followed along as if it was the truth… which made Katsuki laugh because he knew she hated this.

Sometimes if she lied about meeting people or travelling… he would have her admit she lied the very next day while making her feel guilty for lying about those things… and while she didn’t understand why she was doing this… he laughed because since she’s a sentimonster he can make her say and do whatever he wanted of her.

Mari sometimes watches him control Lila but after a while she would leave him be to have his fun of controlling her… sometimes another friend will join in to make her suffer but it was rare and Mari didn’t care since it wasn’t her ring now… but sometimes Felix will ask to have it back for a little while since his parents know he has the ring which Mari didn’t mind doing… but Katsuki will complain about not being able to control Lila for a while.

But once it’s back in his hand… he laughs and goes back to controlling Lila…

A few years later…

“You need to take a break bug… clearly this report is draining you” Adrien said making Mari sigh “I know that minou… but I need it done by tomorrow” she replied making Adrien sigh… while Felix chuckled “Just let her be cousin… it won’t be long before she sees that the report and her latest commission is keeping her from going home to her boyfriend” he said making her eyes widen and check the time…

And she starts running around “Katsuki is going to be pissed if I’m not home soon!” she said… the last thing she heard was Felix laughing before she ends the video call to finish packing up… then uses Voyage to get to her house… where she unlocks the door and walks inside “I’m home!” she says as she takes off her shoes and set’s her things down.

And then… she looks up… to a lovely surprise… prepared by her boyfriend Katsuki…

While she was working… he prepared a romantic dinner for the both of them to enjoy. The home they bought together was decorated with lovely candles and flowers, then Katsuki walks over in a lovely suit “Marinette” he says making her look at him confused to why he said her full name like that… and then her eyes widen as he got down on one knee… and then she saw it… while she never pushed him to wear the ladybug pieces that Adrien bought… he was now wearing them at long last.

“I love you Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I know that I would never love anyone else as much as I love you… so will you make me that happiest man on the planet… and marry me?” he asked making her run over as she said yes multiple times. He slips the ring on her and then guides to the table to eat… next thing that she knows they are working together to plan there wedding. Of course, there friends and family are invited… but she couldn’t wait to do one last thing.

After a month had passed since they got married… together they sent her bullies who hurt her because they believes Lila over her pictures of there wedding… as for Lila… she not only received pictures… but a film of there wedding… and the bouquet she tossed at her wedding… and while it was caught by her friend Ochako… she agreed to let it be sent to Lila… at the prison in Italy she was locked up in… to tell her that she might get married after getting released… but she and the class would never see her again or control her…

HELLO!!!!! i am very very happy to post this!!! theyre finally done!!!!! i spent a lot of time of this and im very very happy with it <3 i love mary so much

also this was the 'big project' thing i was working on :P

this is a drawing of mary anta in the outfits below!! (art by the wonderful arcadekitten :3!!)

[blushingdread]

Hi MLB fandom, I am a passerby that tried to watch the show for my GF and failed, but I have read a bunch of fanfics and I think Butterfly Emilia would be cool as fuck

Some headcanons:

The butterfly does long-range magic by connecting to others and giving them magic, they're weapon isn't a weapon. It's a tool for communicating with their champions. Emilia has this big ass old timey microphone bc she's a former performer (actress if i rember correctly?) And she's all for the dramatics (Gabriel would have a head set) Despite it not being a weapon, she still wacks people with it

She has seven different pieces of butterfly jewelry on her transform (2 earrings, 2 rings, brooch, hair piece, and one holding her skirt in the back) fighting her directly is very annoying because they have no idea which fucking one is her miraculous

You may notice she's not wearing a mask, just makeup. Her face has been run through every database known to man. The cloaking magic makes it impossible to actually figure out. She doesn't really see herself as a villain, and she doesn't read comic books. Her outfit is more of a performance outfit (Marinette likes western comic books and is super hero themed, Adiren sees himself as a magical girl)

Her main motivation is that she's a MASSIVE control freak with entitlement issues. She was born rich rich and stumbled upon God jewelry. She is drunk on power 24/7 and doesn't think consequences exist. She wants to revive Gabriel bc she loves him. She's terrorizing Paris bc she thinks her happy ending is the most important and doesn't care about anyone else

Gabriel "died" from using both the peacock and butterfly to make Adiren (who Emilia designed herself, with blueprints) despite the fact that Noorou and Duusuo told them that using two miraculouses at once was a bad idea. He's her SIMP

Natalie is her childhood friend who is used to her "eccentric" behavior, and isn't in on the evil

Monarch constantly hyjacks tv/radio waves to harass the heroes. "This would be all be over if you just gave me your miraculous", "Why do you have to drag out this conflict? I just want to fix the wrong thing this magic caused.", "did that old man tell you anything before he gave you those?" <- at first. She tries to have good pr by making all her akumas only capture and sometimes helping people, but eventually she shows her true colors and she's no longer able to make the media call Ladybug and Chat selfish for not giving her their miraculouses. After her flip switches, she still does this, but it's more obvious. "This is all your fault, you know."Maybe I'll just keep doing this at 3am :D." kinda shit

Let's Adiren go to school bc both of the Kawami were like, "He doesn't actually love you. You just made him love you. You're actually a shitty mom." And it hurt her pride so much that she let her control of him slip to prove that he prefers her, and then he wanted to public school and it made her so maddd that she constantly targets the school to scare him and chase him back into her arms "of his own free will"

Emilia thinks Marinette is absolutely perfect and fits in her family so nicely. Except for some minor defects, she can correct ♡ much to Mari's slow dawning horror

Very vindictive and petty. Like, have a butterfly follow Ayla around for a week for reporting on her petty. She is doing psychological warfare on the children

Let's Chloé be childhood friends with Adrien literally bc she makes him uncomfortable, seee how good your mom is compared to others + Really likes Audrey and having perks from the mayor which means they have to be childhood friends

billy hargrove x fmreader

summary: billy is very seldom nice to you. but the truth behind the front he puts up is that he is deeply attracted to you. so when he sees a classmate touching you, he doesn’t like that very much and takes matters into his own hands to claim whats his.

content warning: mean billy, reader gets verbally harrassed by a classmate, violence/fighting, blood, wound tending (reader to billy), neil is mentioned/home abuse, kissing (might make another part idk)

an: I KNOWWW everyone is gonna say billy is a bad person but im delulu so pls let me live in a fantasy :)) like idk about everyone else but i feel like billy is a very sensitive person but he is just a product of his father/just grew up in a toxic home. IDKIDK IM RAMBLING

word count:  1.5k (not proofread) 

You wake up and open your eyes due to the trill sound of your alarm, the bright red numbers on the device flashed. Whining as you shut it off and opted to lay in bed for a few more minutes before your mother knocked on the door. “Honey wake up, breakfast is on the table.” she declared in which you just hummed before getting out of bed and headed downstairs.

Your mom asked you a few questions but you really didn’t have the energy to respond with much enthusiasm. After eating you heading back into your bedroom to get dressed, thinking of dressing a little nice today just to make yourself feel a little better. Slipping into a tight black dress with a white long sleeved half-top over it, white dainty leg warmers and black mary janes. You looked in the mirror and nodded softly in approval of your outfit, sitting down at your vanity to do a but of makeup so you didn’t look like you were running on fumes.

Soon leaving your home and you started your walk to school; you lived close so you didn’t mind the 10-15 minute walk every morning. Happy that you could just listen to music and be left to think.

Humming softly to ‘Dreams’ by Fleetwood Mac as you walked to your locker and grabbed things you needed, putting away things you didn’t. Before you knew it you felt yourself being pushed against the lockers, a soft groan coming from you because you knew who the culprit was before even turning around. “Morning to you too Hargrove.” you said before taking your headphones off and resting them around your neck. You closed your locker and turned on your heel to face Billy whom was walking around with his disciples as always.

“Uh huh. Tryin’ to impress today?” he asked and all you did was roll your eyes before putting your headphones over your ears again and walking to your first class. You didn’t even give Billy the time of day, knowing the attention is what he wanted. He wanted you to get mad. And you weren’t going to give into it.

You greeted the teacher as you walked into class and immediately took your seat. You liked this class apart from one significant detail. Billy sat next to you. Damn assigned seating. He sat beside him and you glanced over at him which he caught, knowing he did because a smirk was shown on his lips. “Like what you see princess?” he whispered and you couldn’t help but clench your thighs together but you played it off with a glare before you got to work.

Normally Billy’s pestering all class long doesn’t get to you but something just snapped. You just couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Jesus Christ Billy can you just shut the fuck up for 5 seconds?! I know you think your all that because ever girl bends over backwards to get fucked by you and you think the world owes you because of your home issues or whatever but guess what? The world doesn’t fucking revolve around you! We all have our baggage and I’m really not interested in whatever lack luster run down you have to give on what you think I am like or how my home life is. Just give it a fucking break already and stop acting like such a fucking child.” You said sternly which left his pretty blue eyes wide; not expecting an outburst like that from you. You scoffed at him before grabbing your things and excusing yourself from class. ‘Jesus I need a cigarette...’ you mumbled before the bell rang, signaling to head to your next class. Boy was it going to be along day.

When it was time for lunch, you made your way to the cafeteria like normal. But before you can enter you were stopped by Dale, some guy who is in your history class. You’ve exchanged words rarely so you have no clue why he is stopping you. “Can I help you?” you asked and he looked you up and down which made your stomach uneasy. “Yea I can think of a few things.” he said as he came a little closer to you which made you back up in response to his very obvious advance onto you. “Dale I think you should-” you started to speak but he grabbed your wrist and pulled you to him. “No no no.. you listen to me now. You can’t just come to school dressed like a fucking slut and be shocked when a guy comes up to you.” he replied, a whine coming from you has his grip on your wrist tightened.

Before you knew it you were being pulled away by one of your girl friends. You looked back and saw Dale with blood covering his face, Billy wailing on him as his fists where covered in blood. As the situation deescalated you got away from your friends and chased after Billy, grabbing his shoulder softly. “Billy” you called out and he turned to face you. Holding his hands as you seethed at the wounds on them. “Come with me.” you whispered and Billy followed without even a word.

You decided to leave early, your excuse being you were both shaken up over the incident. The walk to your house was silent, tension so thick it could be cut with a knife. You brought Billy to your room and told him to wait there so you could grab everything to fix him up. He looked around your room from his seated position, a soft breath coming from him as he rolled his eyes. Your room exactly matched your personality. 

Billy averted his eyes back to his bloody knuckles when he heard your soft footsteps come closer to your bedroom. You sat beside him and grabbed the supplies you needed before peering up at him. “Umm. This is probably gonna sting a bit.” you warned to which he just nodded in response. Cleaning his wounds didn’t take long but you also tended to the cut on his lip. Trying to stay focused; but you found yourself admiring his features, looking into his eyes when you noticed he had been doing the same. The pair both cleared their throats and you got up to clean up all the bloodied supplies. 

“B-Billy... If you don’t mind he asking... I mean hell you don’t owe me an answer after the outburst in class today...” you vented before sighing heavily and sitting beside him. “Why did you do it? I mean... Why did you stand up for me?” you asked, a hint of fear in your voice because you’ve never seen Billy so angry before. Billy looked up seeming to you that he was just trying to process his words in a way that would be coherent. “Listen... I know that I uh- I’m not very nice to you. Ever. And you yelling at me earlier today kinda made me realize;” he started to explain before grabbing both of your hands. “That the reason I’m mean is because I’m scared of you getting to close and seeing... Me really... Dammit I know that probably doesn’t make any fuckin’ sense...” he vented and you tilted your head a bit, giving Billy a soft smile before reaching your hand out and cupping the side of his face gently. “Oh Billy..” You whispered before he eventually looked at you. “Y’know I do admit.. I really hate that you treat me the way you do everyday... But I have to admit that I’ve heard the rumor around school about your.. father. And I’ve seen you with a black eye before. I just thought it was just another stupid fight because y’know. Your Billy Hargrove.”

There was a long pause before you swiveled your body and sat directly in front of him; but he took the chance to speak first. “I just want to say that I’m sorry.. And that the reason I kept you at a distance is because I was afraid. Afraid of you seeing... me really... I know it might not mean anything and your more than welcome to just kick me out but... I like you...” he whispered as he looked into your eyes with those pretty baby blue of his that made you melt anytime you made eye contact. Your heart instantly melted because you could tell he was serious, not a doubt about a single thing he just said. He was truly being honest.

 Before he knew it your lips were on his, He wrapped his muscular arms your waist and pulled you into his lap with ease as he tilted his head to deepen the kiss; which you of course followed his lead with. “I’m gonna need you to promise..” you started before sitting up and looking into his eyes. “Promise that you wont push me away...” Those words hit him and he thought for a few seconds before nodding. He reached up and took one of his dangly spiked earrings off and handed it to you. “I promise.” he told you and you smiled before putting the earring on. The both of you laughing softly before laying in your bed, just drowning in each others company.

Hello! Before I ask anything, I just want to say that I really adore your games. I've been interested in INMIMB since I saw Gloom's playthrough a  couple years ago, and I just really enjoy them in general. I've been searching everywhere for places to play them but I can't find them (I've only played  INMIMB, and it was sooooo good) so a little advice would be nice. I have a few questions (mostly about Embry bc they're my favorite and i love them sm) You don't have to answer anything if you don't want to, but it'd be nice if you did since I love you and your content and I think you're awesome :)

Okay, so a few questions:

1) I've seen someone ask if Dr d light had a favorite flower and I remember you answering sunflower, so just wondering if Embry has one?

2) is Embry's middle name confirmed or do we have to theorize about it forever? (I wouldn't know if you've talked about it since I only joined Tumblr a few days ago and it's tiring to scroll through blogs lol)

3) What's your opinion on Embry x Ryo as a romantic pairing? I'm asking this one for very personal reasons and I really don't want to make you uncomfortable by shipping it because I relate to Embry a lot and them having a partner just gives me a sense of comfort. Like it makes me feel warm inside.

4) Is Embry more of a chorus kid, a band kid, or an orchestra kid? (This is based on the context of my middle school where we have to pick a certain type of music for the whole damn year. I don't know if other schools do that but it's what I'm used to, and personally, I see them as a chorus kid because like I said, I relate to them a lot and I am a chorus kid.)

5) Does Embry have a specific preference with clothing, as in fem or masc, or do they just wear whatever? Just asking because I see them more often in masc outfits than I see them in fem.

6) are there any confirmed specific ages for any of the characters? I get the general idea that the tricks n treats group is all kids and the cemetery mary cast is all adults, but I'm just curious if there's anything specific.

7.  Dr d light's color scheme is very close to the pansexual flag (like literally you could take away the black and white and boom) so I'm just wondering if that's a coincidence or not.

Sorry that this was so long! You don't have to answer any of these (especially number 3 if it makes you uncomfortable) but I just wanna let you know that I think you're really amazing and even if I haven't played all your games yet, I'm positive I'm going to enjoy every single moment of every single game and I hope that makes you as happy as it makes me. So just....you're awesome, your games are awesome, and I'm really excited for the answers to these questions if you feel comfortable answering them.<3

(also one more thing: what are your fans called? Like Taylor swift has swifties, but what do you call us? Just wondering:))

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear you enjoy my games so much!! ♡ All of my games are available to download (for free!) on my itch.io account here: arcadekitten.itch.io

I will try to answer your questions the best I can!

Not sure! Maybe something purple or white like the kind of flowers they'd grow with their mom, but I don't have anything exact yet. ---

Nothing confirmed but I don't think it has to be a "theory" thing either. It's just a name beginning with G and there's nothing more complex to it than that! ---

I don't answer questions about ships unless they're ships I've explicitly shown interest in already (Ex: Mary x Reginald, Capella x Most Circus Members, etc). You can read more about why this is on my FAQ: https://arcadekitten.tumblr.com/faq ---

I don't think Embry is a music kid at all! They are more of a gardening + artwork kid! ---

I feel like Embry's style of clothing is heavily androgynous and it's just that androgyny is sooner associated with masculinity than femininity. Sometimes their outfits might lean more one way than another but in general I keep them pretty androgynous. ---

Nope! I don't do specific ages, just age-ranges. ---

Entirely coincidence! He currently has no confirmed orientation + sometimes colors just look nice together

Thank you very much again for your kind words!! You are terrifically sweet and I do so hope you enjoy my other games as well whenever you may have the chance to play them or interact with them! ♡

Also, I'm not really concerned with fan names! I think someone could just say they're a fan of my work and that's good enough!

Large 1 am thought dump about the ghovie under the cut (contains spoilers) (it really is large and pretty disorganized and a bit random)

(I rewrote this at 8 am ☝️)

The theater was PACKED!! The session I went to was almost fully sold out. There were cosplayers where I went too, it was great. No merch available unfortunately, but hey I didn't even expect it to show in my country so I'm very pleased.

(downside: no popcorn because if we tried to get popcorn we would have been late. The popcorn line basically took over the cinema's entry hall. The ghovie coincided with a bunch of parents taking their kids to see inside out which made for a funny mix at the waiting line).

I basically didn't know anything about what to expect but it was so cool. I'M JUST SAD I COULDN'T GET THE LAST QR CODE IN TIME SIGH BUT IT'S OKAY!!

I went with my dad and he loved it. This is the first movie we watched in a theater that he somehow didn't fall asleep in the middle of LOL.

The downside: as usual, sexual innuendos were a bit awkward to witness when your father is sitting right next to you. That didn't stop me from enjoying anything though dkkskfkdk

I kind of wish the people in my session had been more... Idk I mean it was basically a concert right!! I was expecting more singing and stuff. I normally hate loudness but in these contexts I really like it, but judging by the wait line we were all nerds so it makes sense why no one was extroverted enough for that.

(We did all laugh sometimes and also everyone groaned at the cliffhanger which was funny) (twice, once when the screen turned black and then when the lights of the theater turned back on) (everyone waited)

I did unfortunately also conclude that there's like a 90% chance that I could not ever actually go to a Ghost concert (or most big concerts) because of the lights* 🥹 (autism). I just looked away whenever it got too much but I was also kind of transfixed but regardless I had fun.

*well, really thinking about it I would probably already be overwhelmed just by being in that big of a crowd. Then having to listen to it scream the whole time would have probably kill me so there's that

I got so scared that Copia was going to die at the end. My heart was beating so fast nearing the end and when the balloon thing start I was like It's Over. Then it wasn't!

(In my heart I kind of knew Tobias wasn't going to do that because we are all very attached to him at this point and I would imagine he is too)

THE SKELETONS WERE SO SILLY I LOVED THEM

The Mary On a Cross animation made me very happy

The costume changes were so cool to witness and I really liked Papa's (or Fráter's now, I guess hehe) little boxer outfit.

Someone brought their baby AND THE BABY DIDN'T CRY OR SCREAM ONCE! Idk how their mom did it since I'm sure they couldn't have been sleeping but maybe they were raised with Ghost so they were just as hooked into the movie as the rest of us.

Oughhh ouch now I'm craving cinema popcorn so bad I wish I could have seen the movie while eating popcorn.

It was nice to get the confirmation that Copia really is Nihil and Sister's son (even though we all knew).

When they were in that box thing I thought that Nihil was going to possess him. I was expecting for him to possess him when he did the pose too for some reason.

I was like wow I will be completely normal about this I'm not even autistic about Ghost anymore. Then I sat down on the chair and immediately was fighting back tears. Apparently I can never be Normal About Things (specifically Things That I Like a Lot).

IF YOU HAVE GHOSTS!!

The new song is great

I was sad that Sister died but she's a ghost so really it's okay.

Immediate edit: THE TWIN THING ALSO YEAH THAT WAS UNEXPECTED

I might edit this later with more thoughts but I'm too sleepy to think right now. If you somehow read everything then hiiii thank you for reading my messy thoughts

Edit #2: The ghovie had no ads before it. Like at all. I was pleasantly surprised but also feel bad for the people that went into it a bit late thinking they wouldn't miss anything because the ads usually take minutes.

Edit #3: Another reason that makes me think that I'd die at a real Ghost concert is that the music is probably very loud as well, and while my brain dislikes loud music that I like less than the other loud things, it's still not immune to it. Thinking about it, it's crazy that somehow I didn't feel overwhelmed by the sounds in the ghovie once, considering that usually that happens at least once in every movie I see on the theater. Idk if it's just me or they just made it like that, but I'm VERY pleased about that too.

If you want more specific spoilers then dm me I love rambling about things I like
