200 years of railroads apparently
So when I was waiting for the train today I noticed the departure boards saying that it was the 200th anniversary of the railway this year (I believe theyâre going off of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, which was the first public railway to use steam engines and opened in 1825). Which is an important milestone in railway history for sure (although whether it counts as when railroads were invented is debatable) and there are definitely many things we can do to celebrate. To start, however, we can look back at these past 200 years of railroad history and some of the major milestones that occurred. Note that this will focus on British & American rail history since that's what I'm most familiar with. With that out of the way, here is a timeline of railway history:
c. 600 BCE: the ancient greeks moved some boats (water vehicles) over land on some rails
1769 CE: James Watt makes a better steam engine, which is why power is measured in watts and not newcomens.
1804 CE: Richard Trevithick makes a steam train but just as a fairground attraction (railways already exist but they use horses for power).
1825 CE: George Stephenson makes a steam train for the Stockton & Darlington Railway, which marks the beginning of the end for horses. In the coming years, millions of horses are sent to farms upstate, around the back of the shed, or off to work at the glue factory.
Steam trains: - faster and stronger than horses - are made of physics instead of biology (much neater & cleaner) - all of their waste goes into the air instead of the ground - you don't have to wait years for them to grow up
1830 CE: The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) opens in the United States. While probably not the first railroad outside Britain to use steam trains, it is the first to do so in the United States, and since I don't really know much about, say, Belgian railway history it's the one we're going to be talking about.
1840s CE: Railroads form a crucial part of the US's westward expansion, bringing people and goods west (and east I suppose), along with letting the federal government outsource the genocide of the people who already lived there.
1863 CE: The Metropolitan Railway (eventually the Metropolitan Line) opens in central London, as the first urban rapid transit system. Since electric trains weren't a thing yet, this used steam trains. The smoke from the steam trains killed many people, most notably american President Abraham Lincoln when he visited in 1865.
1879 CE: Werner von Siemens makes an electric train but just as a fairground attraction (railways already exist but they use steam locomotives for power) (also there were prototype electric trains before this one but Siemens is the one with a unit named after him so he's who we care about)
c. 1880 CE: The Pennsylvania Railroad and London & North Western Railway become the largest corporations in the world. It's important to note that although railroads are one of humanity's greatest inventions, they did have the unfortunate side effect of also bringing about the dawn of modern capitalism, one of humanity's worst inventions.
1883 CE: The Volk's Electric Railway opens in Brighton. For a time, it included another line that went in the ocean (with rails on the sea floor and really long legs to keep passengers above the water) but this turned out to be a dumb idea and that part closed. The original Volk's Electric Railway is still open as the oldest operational electric railway, and you can go ride on it in the summer. I'll probably do this to celebrate at some point.
1890 CE: The City & South London Railway (later the Bank branch of the Northern Line) opens, finally providing an electric underground rapid transit system for the city and some much-needed relief from the smoke of steam trains. Unfortunately, this was too late to save Abraham Lincoln, who died from being shot in 1865.
1894 CE: a bunch of american southerners LARPing (but less cool than modern LARPers) as british aristocrats but even more racist (than the british aristocrats. all the LARPers I know personally aren't racist) form the Southern Railway. I mention it now because it'll be important later.
1895 CE: The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad opens the first mainline electric railroad. This doesn't mark the beginning of the end for steam power (although it should have) since most railways are privately owned, electrification costs money, and corporations hate spending money.
Electric trains: - faster and stronger than steam - don't require fuel at all - way quieter and don't create any local pollution (can go in tunnels!) - can be powered by renewables & nuclear, once they are invented (hydro is there from the start though) - can go both directions without needing to turn around - can form multiple units (better acceleration and don't need to move the engine around!) - very low maintenance (not constantly having a fire inside does tend to reduce wear and tear on parts) - generally very good
1912 CE: the first diesel locomotive enters service. This turns out to be what marks the end of steam, since diesels are better than steam but are cheaper (to set up. not to run) than electrics. In the coming years, millions of steam locomotives are sent to branch lines upstate, around the back of the depot, or off to work at the scrapyard.
Diesel trains: - faster than steam. except for normal, unmodified, in-service trains, since the fastest diesel is the Intercity 125 with a top speed of 201 km/hr while the steam powered Mallard reached a top speed of 203 km/hr. - stronger than steam. except they aren't, the most powerful diesel loco is weaker than several steam engines. - slower and weaker than electrics (unlike with steam engines, this isn't even close) - louder and more polluting than electrics (although not as bad as steam) - still require fuel (a different sort to steam locos though, and they don't need much water) - can go both directions without needing to turn around - can form multiple units - don't need overhead wires or third rail, which is the only reason they exist (they're mostly better than steam, and although they're worse than electrics they are cheaper. To set up. Not to run.)
1914 CE: The Milwaukee Road electrifies its Pacific Extension out in the american northwest, since steam trains couldn't go in tunnels and were too weak for the hills.
1917 CE: The United States of America nationalizes its railroads under the United States Railroad Administration, in order to put a stop to the private sector's incredible mismanagement of a vital public service during WWI.
1920 CE: After the war ends, the US hands the railroads back to the private companies. Just like all those other times the US did something really, really, good (i.e. Civil War Reconstruction, free school meals during Covid), the USRA didn't last very long and everything went right back to the terribleness of before.
1923 CE: Britain's railroads are grouped from lots of small (and some big) companies into four big companies: the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), the Great Way Round Western Railway (GWR), the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway (LMS), and the Southern Railway (the real one, not the american south LARPers or modern-day corporate/french LARPers).
1920s CE: The Southern Railway (UK) electrifies much of its network with 750V DC third rail.
1938 CE: The LNER Class A4 "Mallard" sets the rail speed record, reaching 203 km/hr. This makes it the fastest steam train ever, especially since the Pennsylvania Railroad never discovered dynamometer cars or speedometers and had no idea how fast its trains were.
1948 CE: Britain's railroads are nationalized under British Railways (later British Rail).
1950s CE: Gas-turbine trains are invented. Union Pacific uses them for a while, and they briefly also are used for higher-speed trains in some places, but they never really go anywhere.
Gas-turbine trains: - more powerful than diesels - faster than diesels - very loud and kind of inefficient - these things were a bit strange weren't they?
1955 CE: Steam finally starts to die in Britain under BR's modernization plan, which sees electric (yay) and diesel (boo) trains replacing steam locomotives.
1959 CE: Ernest Marples becomes British Minister of Transport. He's also head of a road construction company. This means he wants more roads and less trains. This is a bad thing.
1960s CE: Dr Beeching (a guy Ernest Marples hired) makes a report suggesting closing most of Britain's rail network, starting with the least profitable and redundant routes. The government then ignores most of the suggestions in the report, and closes down whatever rail lines they feel like. Fortunately, the cuts aren't as large as the report suggested. Unfortunately, they are still enormous and cause huge damage to Britain's rail network that is only just starting to be repaired.
1964 CE: The Tokaido Shinkansen opens in Japan as the world's first dedicated high speed train. This marks the pinnacle of human transportation, and electric high speed rail takes its place as the most efficient, most comfortable, most environmentally friendly, and fastest (below a certain distance) form of transportation. Many other countries start to build their own networks, including France, Italy, Spain, China, Morocco, Turkey, Britain (tries to, anyway), some other places, and a couple failed attempts in the US (along with the successful kind-of-high-speed rail in the Northeast Corridor and the still under construction one in California).
1968 CE: Steam finally dies in Britain. Yes, after the Shinkansen was built. Unfortunately, diesel trains continue to exist to this day.
c. 1970 CE: Running out of money, the Milwaukee Road decides to end electrification, since diesels are much better than they used to be and fuel is pretty cheap.
1971 CE: With passenger service not making enough money (it was making money, just not enough money) due to all of those free government-provided highways and airplane subsidies, the US government under Richard Nixon forms Amtrak to take over passenger services and give them a quiet death. Fortunately, this doesn't work. Amtrak still exists, and Richard Nixon doesn't, so who's the real winner here?
1973 CE: The 70s oil crisis begins, and electric trains are suddenly back in fasion after gasoline and diesel become really really expensive. Except it ends before american railroads do anything.
1974 CE: The Milwaukee Road ends its last electric trains.
1976 CE: The Penn Central, formed from a merger between the Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central, goes bankrupt and the US government replaces it with Conrail, a sort-of nationalization of some of the US rail network. This doesn't last either, with the network being sold off to Amtrak (who take as good care of it as they can with their limited money), and CSX & Norfolk Southern (who don't, but more on them later)
1977 CE: The Milwaukee Road goes bankrupt.
1980s CE: Several mergers between US railroads result in the B&O (under the Chessie System) becoming part of CSX Transportation (the most boring corporate named railroad in existence), while the Southern Railway (US) merges with the Norfolk & Western to form the Norfolk Southern railway.
1982 CE: The British Rail Class 455 â an electric multiple unit used in south London and the suburbs â is introduced.
1993 CE: Precision Scheduled Railroading â an ingenious way to squeeze as much money out of a railroad as possible while providing awful service, treating employees terribly, never investing in infrastructure until something collapses, not doing basic maintenance, and putting safety fourth â is created, and adopted by all of the largest railroads in North America.
Also 1993 CE: The privatization of British Rail begins. Generally considered a bad idea that even Thatcher wasn't going to do (although her privatizing everything else certainly encouraged it), it ends up creating a mess of privately owned companies, half of which end up being owned by foreign state-owned railway companies like SNCF and Trenitalia.
1994 CE: the british and french moved some trains (land vehicles) under water on some rails
c. 2000 CE: people start to care a lot about climate change, and then notice that electric trains are the most environmentally friendly form of transport (apart from walking I guess but let's see you walk anywhere from tens to hundreds of kilometers every time you want to go to a city you don't live in). Car traffic and local air pollution caused by cars are also problems, which trains can solve. (even diesel trains aren't as bad as cars. whether steam trains are as bad as cars is left as an excercise for the reader)
2001 CE: for no particular reason, planes become unpopular, americans suddenly remember trains exist, and Amtrak's brand new (introduced 2000 CE) sometimes high speed train the Acela becomes very popular.
2002 CE: after it turns out privatizing infrastructure and maintenance was a really bad idea that killed people, Britain's railway infrastructure is renationalized under Network Rail (that's us!)
2008 CE: massive financial crisis happens. China decides to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on high speed rail, the US (and to a lesser extent Europe) decide to spend hundreds of billions on bailing out the banks instead
c. 2018 CE: Battery-electric trains (which had existed in some form or another for over 100 years) and hydrogen powered trains (which were new) become things, because of the previously mentioned hatred of spending money by railroads (the pressure to at least appear sustainable combined with the desire to not spend any money on electrification caused these to exist)
Battery-electric trains - weaker and slower than all other types of train - terrible range (need charging very frequently) - require loads of rare earth metals - can catch fire really badly - the batteries eventually wear out (and are not as easy to replace - as the parts of other trains) - completely useless if you need high frequencies or long distances (you'd need to charge them so often that you'll end up reinventing third rail/overhead line electrification) - JUST ELECTRIFY PROPERLY DAMN IT
Hydrogen trains - anything hydrogen powered is either a scam or is going to explode. or both. explosions are only a good thing when going to space on a rocket and only when controlled. - why do these exist - why
2019 CE: In a major milestone for the company, Amtrak almost breaks even for the first time in its existence. (STOP TRYING TO MAKE IT TURN A PROFIT IT'S A PUBLIC SERVICE AND NEEDS AT LEAST AS MUCH MONEY AS THOSE SOCIALIST NATIONALIZED HIGHWAYS GET ALONG WITH SOME EXTRA FOR ALL OF THE MONEY THEY'VE MISSED OUT ON)
2020 CE: a global pandemic happens and everyone stays home. this means all of the privately operated train companies in the UK start losing loads of money (although a bunch of them were already government-owned. some even by the british government) and the conservatives are forced to do something. they do it badly as usual.
2020s CE: the british conservatives cancel almost all of HS2 except the bit that goes from Birmingham to near London (because they hate the north of england, and transit users, and the environment, and young people, and londoners, and effective infrastructure, and recovering from the pandemic, and investing in the futrue, and everything good in the world; and also because of the cost overruns and delays that they caused). They plan to start selling off the land safeguarded for the route so the north of England will never have high speed rail (or anywhere else in the country that didn't already have HS1. so basically everywhere except London) and no future government will be able to revive the project. Fortunately they lose the election before they can do this. Unfortunately the new government refuses to revive it (except saying it'll at least go to London), so the various northern mayors have to try and scrape together the money to build whatever replacement they can afford with the money they've found in the couch cushions.
2021 CE: Amtrak gets a whole bunch of money. Not as much as the highways get, but a lot more than they usually get, and they start making big plans, and there is some high speed rail still in progress in California (it's taking a while but they're still building all of it), and there may even be some in other places soon too.
2023 CE: Norfolk Southern blows up East Palestine (the town in Ohio) after dumping loads of toxic chemicals there, thanks to Precision Scheduled Railroading techniques. They mostly get away with this. Safety fourth!
2024 CE: The british government finally announces it's going to renationalize the railways under Great British Railways (and unlike the conservatives they actually use the term "renationalize"). Also, Network Rail is now on the tumbles (you're reading a post from it right now).
2025 CE: The first british train operating companies are set to be nationalized under GBR, just in time for 200 years since the Stockton & Darlington opened.

This may be a good and normal thing but I have absolutely zero regrets about having purchased the laptop last night. Like all day yesterday and even as I was buying I was going oh god should I should I not but now Iâm not even having second thoughts about the huge display lmao
#SO FUCKING GLAD that I actually did some extra research rather than just going meh the one I looked at before is probably better#I think it was a SIGN that I got paid a little early for the monthâs work and then like the day after the laptop I bought went on sale#(Didnât actually pay immediately so I didnât USE any of that money but that is besides the point)#Only with the reservation of man⌠itâs big⌠and heavy⌠and REALLY huge and thatâs badâŚ#I HAD deep down been going âman if only there was a bigger laptop with the same specs as the one I wanna buyâ#And then!!! This baby pops up!! With a big display and BETTER specs!!!!!!!!#Cannot begin to express my excitement at playing Real People Games like that hasnât even been a POSSIBILITY#Stray is at the top of my list right next to ranch of rivershine#And also probably Elden Ring that shit looks NEAT#(Also yes there is a catch and a reason this one is cheaper even though itâs better! The one I was planning on getting had an OLED display#This oneâs just a normal good old LCD display. But in all honesty that is ABSOLUTELY a sacrifice Iâm willing to make lol)#z talks#not horse game#Also the fact itâs not currently in stock so Iâll be waiting almost 3 weeks for it also very much feels like a good thing#Like. I have a Date on which I can expect to Receive It.

âďšTHEIR VOICE LINES ABOUT YOU ๨ŕ§Ëââ§ GN!
Aether
âSince the beginning of Mondstadt they've been with me. They actually turned out to be my second guide! Which makes Paimon even more of an emergency foodâ
âWhaa-Paimon will pretend Paimon didn't hear that!â
âNo really, I'm glad I found them...or rather they found me. It really wasn't much of a surprise when I-oh-I'm already talking too much again.â
âTraveler can go shy when he talks about his lover, hehe. STOP PULLING ME AWAY-H-HEY-!â
Albedo
âOh? I see, you already heard about Y/n. Well, its not a big of a surprise, they're well known here in Mondstadt. Don't worry, if you ever encounter them, dont be shy to talk to them. They have actually been a great help for my researches and experiments. â
Al-Haitham
â Y/N? Yes, what about them? Yes, we're in a relationship, and? No, I'm not mad, why? I'm asking to much questions? Could ask you that, you seem awfully interested in my partner. Passive aggressive? Pff, now you're just pretending things. â
Ayato
â You'd like to know more about Y/n? What makes you think I have answers? Oh? I see, Ayaka has told you about it, well...Me and Y/n have been in a relationship for quite a while now. They're a very good support, doesn't matter what path i take or decisions I make, they always have my back. Without them I wouldn't be half the man I am right now. Satisfied with this answer? â
Baizhu
â The person that always helps out here is not some assistant. Don't worry, I'm sure they're not insulted. Who else are they then? Oh, my lover. Whats with that surprised look on your face? Didn't think I'd be taken? To be frank...I'm quite surprised too that I got this lucky.â
Bennett
â Y/n? My lucky charm? They're awesome! A loyal member in Benny's adventure team...the only one though...They go on every adventure with me! Saved my life multiple times! Bring me good furtune! And are my partner! Wow, I really lucked out for real this time.â
Capitano
â I'd like to keep my private life as private as possible...but for you I make an exception, just this once. Yes, Y/n is my life partner, my lover if you'd like to put it that way. I hold them very dear and would protect them with my life if i have to. So, if I ever sense any bad intentions coming from you, I will crush you with everything I've got.â
Childe
â They spend last winter with me and my family. So, to show them around and make them feel more comfortable in Snezhnaya we had a little snowball fight. Y/n got hit a dozen times in the face by Teucer. They lost, obviously. But the best part was, when we went home, the slipped right before the door and fell ass first to the ground...but instead of being upset or annoyed...they laughed. I knew they we're the one right then and there.â
Chongyun
â Oh you know Y/n? Well, I do too. You knew? Xingqiu huh?...Can't seem to keep quite sometimes...Yes, I am dating them. Saying this feels foreign...I still can't believe they chose me of all people. But I'm not too insecure about it, after all, they chose me of all people.â
Cyno
â Y/n is one of the few people who actually laugh at my jokes. I donât know if its out of pity or if i truly make them laugh, but either way i don't care. As long as i see a smile on their face I'm at ease. Huh? What do you mean i sound lovesick?â
Dainsleif
â There are things that I'd rather keep private and save, including my relationship with Y/n. So I have to apo-...no, i trust you but-...You're right. Y/n and I have been in a relationship for quite a long time now. They mean a lot to me, thats why I want to keep any information about them as private as I can.â
Diluc
â Yes, I am in a relationship with Y/n. I guess the topic makes his rounds, huh? We announced our relationship just yesterday, but have been serious for a long time now. I am...not a public as you know. And i didn't wanted any unwanted or negative attention on both of us but i know i can trust you. Right?â
Dottore
â Did i ever had a lover? What an inappropriate question of you~ Of course i had lovers, but none could compare to my favorite. Have you heard of Y/n? Oh yes, they are quite popular aren't they~? Well, they're mine, all mine. So it would be better for you if you keep your hands off them. â
Freminet
â Are they my friend? Uhm...no...they're a bit more than that. Uhm, yeah they're my partner. We've been together for a while now...Am i happy? Of course i am...I'm just a bit embarrassed thats all. No one has really asked me about our relationship yet except for Lyney, Lynette and father.â
Gorou
â You want to know about Y/n? Sure, what do you wanna know? Yes, they're my partner, in fact, we live together! They're a really caring, they make breakfast every morning, tend any injuries i have and sometimes even run me a bath...that was too intimate.â
Heizou
â Y/n? What do you know about them? Nothing yet but you wanna know more? Why? Interested? Why am I asking all these questions? I'm a detective, and you're interested in my lover-oops-now i ran my mouth.â
Itto
â You mean the oni one for me?! The true love of my life!? THEY'RE AWESOME. I'm so incredibly lucky to have them. AND they're so incredibly lucky to have the awesome one and oni Arataki Itto as their boyfriend!â
Kazuha
â They are currently waiting for my arrival...i cannot wait to have them in my arms again. I miss them every day...What's that book? Oh, it's just for all the poems i write for them while being away. One poem for each day. Once I'm back, i read them to them.â
Kaeya
â Oh you mean my little snowflake? Yes, i know them quite well, i can assure you that one. Wasn't always like that though, took is a while to actually get closer. But i won't complain either way, I'm happy that we finally found each other...damn, look at all the sappy things I'm saying, they've done this to me.â
Kaveh
â I'm still planning our house, i just cannot make it perfect! Ugh, it's really getting on my nerves. I NEED this perfect for them, I need to make this the house of their dreams. But it's taking way to long. Since when am i planning? About 3 years. And since when are we dating? Also about 3 years...oh...â
Kinich
â When they first traveled to Natlan they didn't met me immediately. I've only got to know them through Mualani and Kachina. They once expressed their hatred towards saurian hunters, went off yapping for a good hour too. You should've seen the look on their face once i told them i was one of them. They're still embarrassed to this day, even more after i explained what i really do. One of the many memories that truly make me happy.â
Lyney
â They're aware that true magic doesn't exist. That all my shows are just an act. That somewhere is a trick hidden, so simple its ridiculous. And yet, they're still amazed, still getting big eyed when I'm on stage preforming. Even after countless shows that are the same, they're clapping along like it was the first....I couldn't not have asked for a better support and love in my life then them.â
Mika
â I still don't know how i managed to confess, maybe it's because i can't really remember it anyway. It's a memory I'd like to forget entirely, mostly because i was so embarrassed afterwards. But I never want to forget what they said afterwards. Everytime i hear those 4 words from them I get butterflies.â
Neuvillette
â Y/n and I are in a serious relationship since 5 years and 4 months. We have been living together since 3 years and 1 month. I do consider our relationship deep and intimate. I trust them deeply and never once did I think about it otherwise. I truly believe that our relationship will hold on for eternity. Is this enough information or should I tell you more?â
Pantalone
â Ah, my spoiled little brat? Joking, joking...well, only half. I do spoil them quite a lot, but i wouldn't consider them a brat...most of the time. Just last week I bought them this new coat, winter in Snezhnaya are the hardest in all Teyvat. Oh, and new gloves, a scarf an-no, why would i brag with my money, it's not like i have enough to buy at least million of coats.â
Pierro
â The only thing you need to know is that they are with me and well taken care off. Should you not remember the fact that any hate or violence towards them is strictly forbidden, i will gladly remind you. â
Razor
â Y/n helped Razor a lot. Razor appreciates it, the help. Razor also loves Y/n. That's what Y/n always tells Razor every day. So Razor tells Y/n every day too.â
Scaramouche
â Who? My lover? Them? No, I would never. No, I'm not keeping anything private?! Neither am I ashamed of anything...quite the opposite, huh? No, said nothing. Screw off now, i need to be somewhere. Where? None of your damn business...So what if its a date?!â
Thoma
â Mhm, you're quite right, Y/n and I arw together. Lucked out, huh? I'm currently teaching them how to cook some dishes, been going well...for the most part. No, they have a hand for it but both of us always seem to lose any focus once we're 30 minutes into it.â
Tighnari
â You should've heard their begging, "Oh Tighnari please, i can keep my own garden!" Yeah, keeping it, but not take care of it. Because who takes care of it? Correct, me. It's easy work, so it's not too troublesome. But what is troublesome is how they don't take care of it. *sigh* maybe i am a bit to harsh on them, they are a bit stressed lately anyway. They deserve to take a rest and calm down from everything. So i gladly take care of the garden, for as long as they need me to.â
Venti
â Our first meeting was quite the embarrassing one, almost feel quite shy telling it....Ok! Ok! I'll tell you!....I fell into their lap...No, i wasn't drunk! Someone else was, pushed me by accident and i stumbled backwards right onto their lap in angels share. And to top it off i took their plate and drink with me. Lucky for me, they weren't mad at all. Still...it's so embarrassing!â
Wriothesley
â Took them quite a while to adjust to Meropide. Understandable though, it's a change from the surface. But once they grew comfortable, it's almost like they don't want to leave. They quickly befriended almost everyone, especially Sigewinne. They grew quite popular here in the matter of just a few weeks. Good for me i got them first before anyone else could.â
Xiao
â Hm? Oh, them? Yes, we're close. Why do you ask? Just curious? Ugh, don't look at me like that. What do you wanna hear? How much i love them? You can wait till the day Teyvat will shatter entirely, I won't say it to you, only to them.â
Xingqiu
â Our love story is picture perfect. A written love story by the finest ink. Full of clichĂŠs. We reached for the same book, and our hands touched. Then and there, i was mesmerized...until they snatched the book first.â
Zhongli
â Our love story has been holding on since 3717 years, and it will hold on for many years more. What makes me so sure it will? We love each other like it was the very first day. Never once did we lie to one another, were apart from each other or lost our trust. I do have a contract anyway if anything should happen.â

Doctor's In - Part 15
Summary: You rebuild your relationship with Wanda, one date at a time.
A/N: Hey, I guess I owe Team Wanda some fluff after everything hehe. Enjoy!
Thereâs excitement going around the hospital.
After having to push the xenotransplant one week, it seems like everythingâs finally ready to go.
Though youâre excited for very different reasons.
Wandaâs finally coming back to Boston and you canât wait to see her. Youâve been texting every day, sometimes calling whenever you have a minute.
It feels like when you started dating, and everything was new and magical. Your heart practically skips a beat when you get a call from her.
âHey, gorgeousâ you greet.
âHelloâ Wanda says.
âHi, good morningâ Yelena answers and you glare.
âNot you. Sorry, Wands. Gimme a secâ you find an empty room. ���There. Howâs it going?â
âIâm doing good. Packing for tomorrow. And it looks like Iâll stay for a bit longer so we can definitely have dinner if youâre up for itâ she says, and you make a little dance. âYou still there?â
âYes! And yes, letâs have dinner. Iâll ask around for some restaurantsâ
Maybe Strange or Christine can suggest a nice place for a date.
A date with Wanda! Youâre so excited.
âActually⌠do you mind if I plan it? You planned our first date and Iâd really like to do it this timeâ
âWell, if youâre sure. I know youâre busy with work and traveling so I donât mindâ
âI got it, no worriesâ she says. âSee you soon. Good luck on that big surgeryâ
âJust observing, but thanks either wayâ
âByeâ
âBye, Wandsâ
You leave the room with a big smile, and Yelena hums.
âDid you have phone sex?â
âGross. Youâre one to talk, with your girlfriend Kateâ
âThatâs none of your business. And sheâs not my girlfriendâ
âBecause you havenât asked her yetâ Natasha joins you.
âLong distance is too complicatedâ Yelena sighs, pushing the elevator button. She then turns to you. âNo offenseâ
âHey, Wanda and I are just talking. Thereâs no relationship right nowâ
âRight, which is why she sent you flowers and youâre texting and calling all dayâ Yelena mocks. She gets off on the second floor, as she has to check on some of your patients.
âWhat about you? Ready for the transplant?â you ask Natasha.
âYeah, Iâll have to do post op which means less time on my researchâ she mumbles, clearly upset.
âWant help? I can stick aroundâ
âI donât want you to get in any troubleâ Natasha says, avoiding your eyes.
âHey, youâre my colleague and friend and thereâs nothing wrong with helping you out. If thatâs an issue in a relationship, then maybe I shouldnât be in itâ
Yes, you had barely survived. But every day you got up and made an effort to move on. This month had made it clear that you let work, and then your relationship be the driving force behind your life.
But now you want your happiness to be about doing what you love, and having someone who supports you as much as you support them.
âAre we friends now?â Natasha teases.
âWell, would you like to be? I mean, shit. I was an asshole to you, donât feel like you have to say yes just becauseâŚâ
âYou know, when you ask someone a question, you should let them answerâ she says. âYeah, Iâd like to be friendsâ
âOk, cool. Wanna hang out sometime?â
âLetâs scrub in for nowâ she jokes and you nod, remembering why youâre here.
You follow her to the OR, full of doctors and nurses.
There are also cameras broadcasting to medical facilities around the world.
âNice day to make history, everyoneâ Melina looks around the room. âLetâs beginâ
Everyone nods, and thereâs silence as the woman asks for a scalpel.
You interrupt that silence with a sneeze.
When you open your eyes everyoneâs looking at you.
âSorry. I must have a bit of dust on my noseâ you say, embarrassed.
âNo worries, Doctor Y/L/Nâ Melina says without looking up. âBut get out of the ORâ
âWhat? But, itâs nothingâŚâ
âLetâs hope it isnâtâ she says, glaring. âNow outâ
â
A Covid and influenza test, general bloodwork, and chest X-ray later, Yelena comes by to check on you.
âHow you doing?â
âGreat. I love being locked up in a quarantine room while I get probbed and swapped everywhere. Would you like to add a colonoscopy while weâre at it?â
âHey, you get a discount if you want oneâ
âReally? Itâs not even free for the head of a department?â you ramble. âOk, not the point! Yelena, Iâm fineâ
âYou have a slight fever and a runny nose. Itâs just a coldâ
âOk, let me outâ
âSure. But you canât work. You have to go homeâ
âIâm fineâ you say, but sneeze after that.
âGo home, rest. Weâve got thisâ Yelena unlocks the room for you.
âWhat? You gonna follow me around to sanitize anything I touch on my way out?â you challenge. Yelena lifts up a spray as if it were a gun, shrugging her shoulders.
âMaybe. Now, nice and easy. No sudden moves. Straight to the exitâ
âI hate youâ
â
It was hard saying goodbye to the kids. Even if their grandma and uncle were there to look after them, Billy and Tommy hugged Wanda a bit longer and waved until she went through airport security.
If it wasnât for the fact that sheâd see you that evening, Wanda would have decided to stay home, dream job be damned.
But now sheâs in a middle of an editorial meeting, where Wendy Lawsonâs team is looking at her sketches, making observations and pointing out changes. Wandaâs pleased to notice their feedback is mostly positive.
âIt was so hard to find the right personâ Wendy says when theyâre talking over lunch. âBut then I got a sneak peek at your new book and thought the art was beautifulâ
âThank you. Iâm really proud of itâ Wanda nods, remembering how much love and care went into it.
âAnd that story is so cute and funny. Those are the hardest ones to writeâ
âActually, I was mumbling in my sleep and my girlfriend wrote it all downâ Wanda smiles at the memory. âI really have to thank herâ
âOh, I have to meet her!â Wendy says, excited. Wanda nods, but doesnât really know if the term girlfriend is accurate at this time.
Actually, sheâs not sure if you should call each other friends or what.
âWendy, can I ask you something?â
âYou can ask me two thingsâ the woman jokes, making Wanda smile.
âI know you wrote crime novels before switching to children stories⌠and you were a best selling author in the genre. Were you scared to make the change, or did you get any pushback?â
âI mean, my publisher reminded me how much better the money is before making the switch. And he told me I could try, but he also forgot how many of my adult readers have children. So it was a successâ Wendy looks at Wanda with those piercing blue eyes. âAre you writing a murder mystery?â
âNo, nothing like thatâ Wanda laughs. She doesnât even like crime movies. âI was thinking about something⌠like a trilogy for young adults. Something that maybe my kids could read when theyâre older tooâ
âOh, that sounds fun! Tell you what, work on a draft and if you need any help to get traction, Iâll be more than happy to speak to some peopleâ
âThat means the world to me, thank youâ Wanda smiles, excited at the idea of working in something new.
Sheâs still thinking about it while working, but the rest of the meetings keep her busy and she completely misses your call.
âHey, Wandsâ you say on the voicemail. âIâm a little sick. Or a lot. I mean itâs just a cold, but Iâm no fun right now, runny nose and constant sneezing considered. Iâm so sorry because I was dying to see you but I gotta stay home. Iâll make it up to you, I promiseâ
Wandaâs never seen you get sick. Injured, yes. But not even so much as a sneeze after plowing snow early morning.
âWould you like a ride to the hotel?â Wendyâs assistant offers when theyâre done with the meetings.
âOh, I was actually going to stop by a friendâs house. Sheâs sick and I wanted to check on herâ
Great, you told Wendy sheâs your girlfriend, now youâre a friend. If Wanda keeps this up, youâre gonna end up being a distant cousin.
âI can drive you, no problemâ the woman says.
Wandaâs grateful, even when Wendyâs assistant agrees to stop by to get some stuff at the grocery.
Since Wanda has no idea if you have any food (and knowing you, thereâs probably nothing), she gets the basic stuff to make some soup and other things.
âWow, thatâs a fancy placeâ
âYeahâ Wanda agrees as they park outside, looking at the huge building with security. She hopes they let her in or sheâll be stuck with her luggage and the stuff she bought in the middle of the street.
Luckily, you do answer when the guard calls for you and you let Wanda in.
Her heart beats faster while the elevator goes up, and when the doors open she has to force herself to step outside. Sheâs struggling with all the stuff in her hands, so sheâs caught off guard when you finally open.
âWanda?â you say between coughs. âI thought it was the food I orderedâ
You try to laugh, but it turns into a coughing fit.
âHey, how are you? Sorry I couldnât stop by sooner. Had a lot of meetingsâ Wanda apologizes.
You are wearing a hoodie, your nose is red and it looks like you were in the middle of a medicine induced nap.
âAs much as I want to see you, I donât want you getting sick. So you should probablyâŚâ
Wanda rolls her eyes, walking past you.
âI have two kids. Whatever it is you caught, Iâm immuneâ
âOh, immune, wowâ you mock. âAccording to Yelenaâs thourough testing, itâs nothing more than a coldâ
âSee? Itâs fineâ Wanda insists. âI couldnât possibly leave you alone while youâre sick, detkaâ
âThank youâ you mutter, hugging her. Honestly, you rarely get sick but when you do, you absolutely hate it.
âNo need to thank meâ Wanda wants to sink in your arms and never let go, but she notices how warm you are. âYou have a fever. Take a shower, and Iâll make some food for usâ
âI donât wanna showerâ you complain, still clinging to her. âI wanna cuddleâ
âLaterâ Wanda promises, butterflies dancing in her stomach at the idea of spending an evening in your arms.
You finally let go, and she feels a little guilty at how excited she is to take care of you.
While you shower, she opens the fridge, surprised to find thereâs a lot of groceries and stuff to cook.
For a second, Wanda thinks you might have someone over that cooks because thereâs no wayâŚ
While preparing everything for the soup, she glances around the penthouse. Itâs luxurious and itâs clear you havenât added anything to the decoration, except for the Polaroids in the fridge. Thereâs one with Yelena, and others with Kate and Natasha that are obviously from the gala you attended together.
The first drawing Billy made for you is also on the side of the fridge. You always kept it in your wallet, for good luck.
Of course, thereâs nothing else of yours around, as all your stuff is in Wandaâs house.
Wanda feels overwhelmed by guilt when she realises she forced you to leave your home behind overnight.
âHeyâ you come back, looking a bit better. âYou didnât have to cook, I ordered Chineseâ
âChinese? Youâre supposed to be eating stuff like soup, my darlingâ
âI love your soupâ you watch over Wandaâs shoulder as she stirs everything in the pot, your hand on her waist.
All your talk about going slow has gone out the window. You feel like shit and having Wanda here is the only thing that will make it all better.
âSo, I noticed thereâs a lot of stuff in the fridgeâŚâ Wanda tries to sound casual. But sheâs dying to know if youâve had someone over⌠like a date that cooks and spends the evenings with you.
âYeah, I cook nowâ you smile, going back to sit at the counter. You let out a laugh at her shocked expression. âNothing fancy. Pasta, easiest version of chicken parmesan. My roast beef is pretty fucking good, thoughâ
âHow?â
âLearned by watching the bestâ you smile adoringly at her. âBut also, a lot of sleepless nights and YouTube tutorialsâ
âThatâs fair. Will you cook for me one day?â
âOf course. Have to return the favor somehow, shouldnât I? Unless you have other ideasâ you tease as she hands you the bowl of soup.
âHm. I can think of a fewâ she looks down at your lips.
âToo bad Iâm sickâ
âYes, too badâ Wanda smiles, knowing youâre messing with her.
You eat together, Wanda telling you about the book release happening soon and how amazing Wendy is. You smile at her enthusiasm, happy that sheâs got so much going on for her.
âHow are the kids?â you ask at one point.
âThey enjoy being spoiled by their grandmaâ Wanda says, and that makes you smile. Though it goes away a second later.
âI didnât mean to⌠make everything so hard for you. And hurt them. Iâm sorry, Wandaâ
âHey, look at meâ she asks, taking your face in her hands. âYou didnât⌠itâs fine. Weâre fixing it, little by little. Right? We got thisâ
âRightâ you lean your forehead against hers, wishing you could kiss her. But youâre not about to get her sick, and even if she was the one wanting to close the distance, you abruptly turn your head away, sneezing. âAh, shitâ
âCome on, letâs watch a movieâ she says, smiling as you pout. âWow, can you steal this couch? Itâs so comfyâ
âI know, I love it. Maybe I should have put it in my contractâ you sink in it, and Wanda lets you rest on her legs, her hands going through your hair.
âWhat were you watching?â
âDick Van Dyke showâ you say. âThe episode where Laura does the pool trick. I just love their faces, considering it was unscriptedâ
âWhat? No, that canât be rightâ Wanda says. Itâs one of her favorite shows, she would know.
âUh, yeah!â you say like itâs obvious. âMary Tyler Moore was supposed to pretend to do it, then theyâd switch the angle of the camera to a stand in. But she pulled it off. You can totally see it in their facesâ
âOk, now I need to watch this. I canât believe itâ Wanda says, frowning as she rewinds the episode.
âWanna bet dinner at a fancy place that Iâm right?â
âOh, you are so onâ she laughs, smiling as you keep your head on her lap.
â
Youâre driving to the airport in record time. An emergency surgery delayed you -not by much- but youâll be damned if you donât make the most of the time you get with Wanda.
Darcyâs calling and you press a button on the command center without taking your eyes off the road.
âLesbian emergency services, how may I assist you?â
âRiddle me this, you big lesbo. Why did I bother with planning the sapphic parent trap if youâre not coming back anytime soon?â
âGood morning to you too, friendâ
âIâm gonna kill Barnes. You have to come backâ
âAnd I will. For Carolâs wedding. No sooner. I do appreciate you putting in the effort, thoughâ you smile. âHere I was thinking you didnât like Wanda, and youâre trying to get us back togetherâ
âI donât like her, but as I said, Iâm going to kill Barnesâ Darcy raises her voice, probably so Bucky can hear her. âSo, what do you have planned for today?â
âPicking her up from the airport and then she has work. Will meet for dinnerâ
âNice. Well, I hope she bangs you so hard you turn into a useless lesbian and she makes you come back to Westviewâ
âAw, thatâs the nicest thing anyoneâs ever said to meâ
Youâre about to say bye when Darcy clears her throat.
âListen⌠I know I joke about you getting back together with Wanda. And honestly? I do want you to come back here and work with me again. But she said and did some nasty shit, Y/N. Donât forgive her because you feel like you have to. At least make her work for it a bit? Itâs nearly impossible with how whipped youâve always been, but⌠couldnât hurt to tryâ
âYouâre right. For what is worth, I miss you too. And youâre my best friendâ
âI know. Iâm awesomeâ Darcy says, making you laugh. âByeâ
She hangs up, and you pause the music, wanting a bit of silence to consider her words.
âHey, gorgeousâ you say as Wanda waits for you, looking all cute with her little suitcase. âWant a ride?â
âSomeoneâs picking me up alreadyâ she follows along and you take her stuff.
âWell lucky them. Come hereâ you pull her for a hug, kissing her cheek. âHey, thanks for taking care of me. Iâm sorry we couldnât go outâ
âAnything for you, detkaâ she pulls apart, looking at your lips.
âCome on, you must be starvingâ
Not that you donât want to kiss her but a part of you wants it to be special.
Another part of you really enjoys teasing Wanda.
âWhen did you buy a fancy car?â Wanda says when you reach the Corvette.
âDidnât. Itâs a loan. But hey, itâs a cool car and I might get one for myselfâ you say, putting her things in the trunk. You miss the way a girl glances at you, smiling.
âOh, goodâ Wanda glares at her. By the time you open the passenger door, she doesnât miss the chance to kiss that spot in your jaw that makes you weak. âThank you, darlingâ
âM-my pleasureâ
Wanda likes teasing you too.
âHow are Jenny and Zach?â she asks once youâre waiting for your food.
âTheyâre good. Iâm happy that my motherâs little outburst was enough to convince their father to leave herâ
âYou meanâŚâ
âSomething that happened when she picked up Jenny that time she ran away, doesnât matterâ you look away, trying to forget how much it actually hurt.
âWhat did she do? Why didnât I know?â Wanda insists, reaching for your hand across the table.
âDoesnât matter, honestlyâ
âIt matters to meâ she says, and her frown only softens when you bring her hand to your lips.
âCan I ask how are things with your mom?â you say, curious about the mysterious Mrs. Maximoff. Of course Darcy had told you about the woman, but you knew your friend could blow things out of proportion for a good story.
âWell⌠we havenât really spoken about the elephant in the room. To be honest, Iâm not sure whatâs really going with her. I know she came back because Pietro told her we needed some help. It just feels weird to me, that she has taken over everything. Like no time has passed, and Iâm a teenager again while she bosses us aroundâ
âLovingly, I hopeâ
âOf course. Sheâs a very strong, stubborn womanâ
âAh. I see now. You got it from herâ
âI am not stubborn!â she kicks you under the table, and you laugh.
You keep talking about work, especifically her meetings with Wendy Lawson and her team.
Noticing itâs almost time for her to go, you ask for the check.
âBe right backâ Wanda says, going to the bathroom to check her hair isnât a mess after taking an early flight.
Youâre replying to one of Yelenaâs texts when a familiar voice greets you.
âY/N, hey!â
âLaura. How are you?â you recognise the bartender. âGood to see youâ
âAll those ladies have missed you at the club. I was begining to think you found a better place to hangâ
âNo, after that last time I definitely stopped getting drunk. I still owe you that coffee for helping me out, thoughâ
âYes, you do. But looks like your dateâs back. See ya aroundâ Laura waves goodbye.
Oh, shit.
When you turn around, Wanda is looking at you, tilting her head in that way that activates your fight or flight response.
Run, run, run.
âWands, what are you doing?â you say when she begins to dial a number.
âCancelling our reservationâ
âHey, come onâ you throw some money at the table, going after her. âI didnât hook up with anyone, I just liked to go and drinkâ
âYouâre taking me to that club tonightâ Wanda stops in her tracks, pulling you by the collar of your shirt until youâre inches apart. âSo that all those girls know that youâre not going anymore because youâre takenâ
You nod dumbly, leaning forward. But Wanda doesnât let you kiss her, pinching your cheek and then smiling.
âGood girlâ
â
Youâre not sure this is a good idea.
Either Wanda gets jealous and you fight. Or she gets extremely jealous and you fuck in the bathroom of the club.
Thatâs not bad per se, but you really wanted to take things easy.
As you wait for her in the lobby of the hotel, youâre thinking of arguments to persuade her to go to dinner instead. Or a movie. Anything.
âThere you areâ
Any coherent thought goes out the window when you see what sheâs wearing. A short red leather dress, with nearly matching thights. Her hair is completely straight, and frames her beautiful face, lips standing out because of the darker shade of lipstick.
âLetâs just go back to my place and Iâll cook for youâ
And eat you out, you wanna add.
But Wandaâs already shaking her head no.
âItâs been forever since Iâve gone to a bar. Iâm looking forward to itâ she places her hand around your arm. âCome on, nowâ
You open the car door for her, and play some music to take your mind off of Wanda looking like a whole meal in that sinful dress.
âHuh. I was just listening to that song. Why are you smiling?â she adds when you almost let out a laugh.
âYouâve been using my account this whole time, babe. So, whenever youâre listening to something, I listen tooâ
âWhy didnât you tell me?â
âBecauseâ you shrug your shoulders. âI liked it. It was like being able to know a bit about your day. Like say, at noon, I knew you were driving to pick up the kids. And I could picture you listening to The Carpenters on the way there. The real struggle was to stop Yelena from messing with it. Canât tell you how many times she begged me to stop playing Norah Jonesâ
âI did get a little too into her, I guessâ Wanda jokes, but itâs still overwhelming. To think about all the ways in which you tried to stay connected to her life.
âWhatâs wrong? Did you change your mind? We can go get some foodâŚâ you pull over, worried about her sudden silence.
âI love youâ Wanda interrupts, looking at you. She keeps going when you stay quiet. âI know, we said to take things slow but I donât care. I love you so much and I need you to know thatâ
Without saying anything, you reach for her across the car, pulling her in for a kiss that takes her breath away.
Itâs passionate and needy and rushed, but it also feels perfect. You missed her so damn much and it was stupid to wait this long to kiss Wanda again.
âI love you too, you know thatâ you say when you pull apart, making her smile.
âOk, then. Letâs goâ
âBack to my placeâ
âTo the clubâ she insists and you groan.
âItâs nothing special. Itâs just full of drunk people dancing and fighting. Sometimes. Ok, I did the fightingâ
âIt will be fun, I promiseâ Wanda squeezes your hand and you nod, knowing youâll do what she asks.
Once you reach the club, you notice itâs not as crowded as other days. Hopefully, that means it will be a bit less likely to get into trouble, as it often happened when you came by to get drunk and flirt around.
âWhatâs the deal with that Laura girl?â Wanda asks when she nods your way and you smile.
âShe may have saved me from getting my ass kicked once or twice. You know how I get sometimesâ
âYouâre trouble, arenât you?â
You nod, looking around and ordering a beer for you and a glass of wine for Wanda. You notice she stands closer to you when a girl stops by and taps your shoulder.
âRemember me?â
No, not really.
âHowâs it going?â you greet, placing your arm around Wandaâs waist.
âYou owe me a drinkâ
âOh, of course! Order anything, Iâll ask Laura to put it on my tabâ you agree, hoping thatâs it.
âIf you donât wanna buy me a drink we could danceâ
âHereâ Wanda gives her the glass of wine. âSince you enjoy getting hand-me-downs so muchâ
âExcuse me?â
âOookaaayâ you drag Wanda away, stepping into the dance floor. âLetâs just danceâ
And you do, for a little while. You feel Wanda grinding against you and it takes every ounce of self control to stay there, instead of dragging her to the bathroom to have your way with her.
âAre you thristy?â she says against your ear and you gulp.
âYeahâ
âLetâs get something to drinkâ
Letâs get out of here, you want to plead, but sheâs in control and all you can do is hope she gets tired of playing with you soon.
âCan we get a round of shots?â Wanda leans against the bar, her dress riding up. You blush as you get a peak at her beautiful legs but also place yourself behind her so no one else sees her.
Wanda laughs, rubbing her ass against your front and you think you might collapse any minute now.
Youâre about to ask her once again to please just leave when she hands you a shot of tequila.
âTruth or dareâ
âTruthâ you down the shot.
âWhat did you think of me when you first saw me?â
âNow thatâs what I call a MILFâ you admit, making her laugh.
âYou wanna fuck me?â she says, pulling you by the shirt, her lips touching yours as she speaks.
âI have fucked you beforeâ you remind her.
âBut you still want to do itâ
âOf course I do. The day I say Iâm not in the mood just shoot me, because it means Iâve gone insaneâ
Wanda rolls her eyes, taking a shot and pulling you in for a messy kiss. Her lips travel down to your neck, and you feel her biting down with enough strenght to leave a bruise.
âI dare you to fuck me in the back of your carâ she says when you stop for air.
âItâs a really small backseatâ
âIs that a no?â
âI never said noâ you smile, kissing her again. This time she grabs the belt loop of your pants, pulling you to the exit.
âHurry or Iâll have to do it myself and youâll only be able to watchâ
âWandaâ you groan, tired of the teasing.
Unfortunately, someone stops you by the door.
âYou never called meâ a girl that you absolutely donât even remember stands in front of you.
âSheâs taken. Moveâ
âMake meâ
âAlright!â Wanda begins to remove her earrings, so you carry her over your shoulders, making a quick exit.
âPut me down, I wanna show her who you belong toâ
âHey, just calmâŚâ
Itâs a stupid idea, looking back. Of course the sudden shift and the movement make Wanda sick, so the minute you set her down, she bends over and pukes.
âItâs okâ you ease her, rubbing her back. When sheâs done, she drops all her weight against you, and you have to carry her to the car.
Wanda only wakes up when youâre taking off her shoes, and she looks around the room, disoriented.
âDid weâŚ? How was it, did you like it?â
âBabyâ you laugh, watching her adorable expression. âJust put on some pajamas and drink water. Youâll feel betterâ
She listens, taking your hand to stand up and walk to the master bathroom. On the way there, she pulls down the dress, wearing nothing but matching red underwear and her thights.
Youâre not strong enough to resist this.
Wanda takes a toothbrush that you left out for her, and by the time she cleans up, sheâs feeling a little bit better.
Youâre in bed, wearing a tank top and shorts. Wandaâs previous observation was right. You have been spending more time at the gym; your muscles look a lot more toned. She allows herself to admire you, as your eyes are closed. Wanda doesnât know if youâre asleep or not, but that doesnât matter at all right now.
The redhead takes you by surprise, climbing on top of your lap and kissing you.
âHey, slow downâ
âCome on, Iâve missed youâ she pleads.
âIâve missed you too. But you had too much to drink and it wouldnât be right, darling. Donât wanna take advantageâ
âI want you to take advantage. Donât you wanna taste me?â
âWandaâ you sigh, knowing that if she keeps going youâll have a hard time controlling yourself.
âI want your fingers deep inside me, itâs been over a month and nothing works, not like your hand⌠or your cockâ
âWandaâ you repeat, this time with a more stern tone. The woman smiles as she lifts her top, and you have seriously missed those two.
You flip her over, so sheâs on her back. Wanda moans as you kiss down her neck, rubbing her back while your lips travel lower and lowerâŚ
âWands?â you look up, to find her fast asleep. You have to hold back a laugh when you see her snoring.
After covering her, you kiss her forehead and leave to stay in the guest bedroom.
âSleep well, love of my lifeâ
â
Time goes by slowly. You really donât want anything to interfere with your date with Wanda.
A nice dinner with her is all you need right now. Hell, you even agreed she could stay at your place, seeing as the last two times she ended up sleeping there anyway.
Nothing happened, though. This time you think it might.
You hope it might.
Wanda left you all hot and bothered last time, wearing that dress and saying those dirty things while showing you those perfect, beautiful breasts that you love to bite andâŚ
âSomeoneâs asking for you in the ERâ Nurse Roman says, making you snap out of your thoughts.
âThanksâ
You have no idea who that might be, until you pull the curtain and find Wendy Lawson in a hospital bed.
âDetka, hiâ Wanda says, joining you a second later.
âHi, love. Is everything ok?â you look between Wanda and the other woman.
âWendy fell and we were just worriedâ
âHonestly, itâs nothing. Iâm an old broadâ Wendy says, clearly ashamed and not wanting to make a fuss. You can tell thereâs some blood on her elbow.
âMay I?â you approach, putting on a pair of gloves. âItâs a scratch. Wanna tell me where you hurt yourself? Head?â
âNo, just the elbow and my wrist. The elbow feels a little numb, thatâs all. Itâs probably nothingâ
âYou fell with your arm stretched before you, to prevent the fall, huh?â you say, touching and bending Wendyâs arm. âItâs an injury of soft tissue on the elbow, but Iâd like to confirm nothingâs wrong on your wrist with an X-ray if thatâs ok with you?â
âLike I said, itâs probably nothingâŚâ
âMiss Lawson, worse comes to worst, itâs in fact nothing and we get to keep your X-ray along with the other ones from famous people. Thereâs an available spot on our wall next to Matt Damonâ
âWell, alright. Wanda was right. You are very charmingâ
âOh, what else did she say about me?â you turn to look at her, excited when you notice Wanda is blushing. âWe definitely need to talk more, Miss Lawson. For now, nurse Lorne will take you to get the X-rayâ
You vaguely hear Ed tell Wendy that he is a huge fan of her work. But your mind is elsewhere, pulling Wanda into an empty on call room.
âHiâ she laughs when you kiss her cheeks, nose, neck and even behind her ear.
âMissed youâ you say, finally kissing her lips. She places a hand on your cheek and you corner her against the door. Wanda lets out a sigh as you dart your tongue out, and one of your hands squeeze her breast. âMissed those tooâ
âBet you didâ she laughs.
âHey, youâre the one that flashed me and then proceeded to pass outâ
âStop, Iâm so embarrassed about last weekâ she hides her face in the crook of your neck.
âCome on, Iâm jokingâ you kiss her temple. âIt was fun going out. But now we are going someplace fancy where I can spoil you. Agreed?â
âI donât deserve thatâ she tries to joke, but you can tell she means part of it.
âYou doâ you kiss her again, this time slower, until you break apart. Your eyes are closed, and you smile. âI love youâ
âMe too, detkaâ
âCome on, looks like Wendyâs results are readyâ you say when Lorne pages you.
Yelena lets out a loud laugh when you leave the room with Wanda and you roll your eyes.
âNot like youâre not having phone sex with Bishop when itâs a slow dayâ you shut her up.
âY/Nâ someone else calls for you as you walk down the hallway, and you turn to find Valkyrie, smiling at you. âHey, wanna have lunch today?â
âYeah, we never got around to speaking about that projectâ you agree. âOh, sorry about my manners. This is my girlfriend, Wanda. Wanda, meet Valkyrieâ
Wanda tries to keep herself from dancing around at the mention of the word girlfriend. Instead she shakes Valkyrieâs hand.
âWere you at the gala? With that pregnant womanâ Val says, confused.
âItâs kind of a long story, but yes. Pleased to meet you. Donât let me keep you longer, I can find Wendy and head outâ
âNonesense. It wonât take more than a couple of minutes. Be right back, Valâ
The woman nods and you walk with Wanda to find Wendy.
After you confirm itâs nothing serious, you prescribe some painkillers and insist that the woman can call you on your personal number with any questions.
âThank you, and itâs a pleasure to finally meet youâ
âLikewise. Wandaâs so happy that she gets to work with youâ
You walk them out and smile when Wanda kisses your cheek.
âIâll wait for you at the penthouse?â
âYeah, sounds good. Be there as soon as I finish my shiftâ
Just a couple more hours.
Ed comes back making a dance, showing you Wendyâs X-ray.
âCan I pleeease keep it?â
âFine. If someone asks, you stole it. And you canât sing any of the songs from Waitress for the rest of the weekâ
âDeal!â
â
Today of all days. Youâre late. Not excessively, but enough to go over the speed limit and say goodbye to the idea of a shower before heading out.
âHi, wanted to check if I can move a reservation by half an hour?â you remember to call the restaurant. Even if Wanda made the reservation, you donât want to lose the spot because of your tardiness.
âWe donât have any reservations under that nameâ the hostess says after a second.
âHow about Wanda Maximoff?â
âNo, nothing eitherâ
Well, damn. Did she get the day wrong? Youâre about to ask to be put on the waitlist as itâs a busy restaurant when the elevetor doors open and you spot a couple of candles lighting up the penthouse.
âAlright, sorry for the troubleâ you hang up, walking inside and looking for Wanda.
Sheâs waiting by the terrace, a soft smile as you take it all in. There are candles, roses and something that smells amazing.
âI thought we were going outâ
âThis is betterâ Wanda greets you with a kiss. âYou like it?â
âI love it but I wanted you to relax and just have fun, you didnât have to do all thisâ
âWould it make you feel better if I tell you I ordered the food instead of cooking?â Wanda smiles when you pull her by the waist.
âDid you really?â
âYeahâ
âThen alright. Thank you, loveâ
You hurry to shower and by the time youâre out, Wandaâs looking out the night sky, smiling as she sips from her glass of wine.
âNice viewâ she comments and you hum, looking at her instead of the buildings and parks around you.
âThe bestâ
âPenthouse, an expensive car, a big city⌠itâs very different from Westviewâ Wanda sighs.
âItâs also very lonelyâ you admit. âItâs nice, but itâs not homeâ
âItâs not home without you eitherâ she admits, sighing. You kiss her temple, pulling her to the small table thatâs on the terrace.
âHow was lunch with Val?â she asks after eating in silence for a bit.
âNice. We met at the gala; she works at Doctors Without Borders. I was curious about a thing or two they do thereâ
âThat sounds interestingâ
âYeah, I always wanted to do it. Never had a chance to, with student debt right out of college and once that was settled I was offered the position as Head of Trauma soâŚâ
âDo you want to do it now?â Wanda asks. You can tell a part of her is anxious. About you leaving again, about changing everything now that youâre fixing things.
âOne day. But Iâd ask you about it first. See how things might work. Or when the kids go to college, we could both travel to wherever it is they send me. Would you like that?â
âYeahâ Wanda nods, her heart skipping a beat once she notices youâre planning for a future together, like you used to do before.
Before she screwed up.
âTell me something youâve always wanted to doâ you ask with a smile, kissing the back of her hand.
âLike? In general?â Wanda hums as you nod, waiting for her to answer. âWell, this is something Iâve been thinking since my mother came back. She was telling the kids some Sokovian tales and I thought⌠when people hear about our country they only think about a small place that was destroyed by a war. But weâre so much more than that. I was thinking maybe I should write a book about legends and tales from my childhoodâ
âThat would be great, actually. It could be fun to travel back there and do some researchâ you mention, thinking back to your conversation with Val.
As the evening continues, Wanda remembers about the ring she found. Ultimately, she had decided to not tell you she knew about it.
If and when you decided to propose, it should be because you felt like you were ready, not because Wanda knew and you felt pressured to do it.
Honestly? Wanda even thought it would be better if she proposed to you. You had already proven to be committed to your life together. It was Wandaâs turn.
âWhatâs got you so smiley all of the sudden?â you notice sheâs staring at you.
âI just⌠love you so muchâ she admits.
âCome hereâ you pull her up and into your lap. âYou were right, this is better than a restaurant. I can have you here all night if I want toâ
âNot all nightâ she stutters when you leave a trail of wet kisses down her throat, squeezing her ass as your hands travel lower.
âYes, absolutely all night. I got two months of pent up energy and my beautiful girlfriend all to myselfâ
âWaitâ she laughs when you stand up, carrying her to the bedroom.
âWanna do it in the balcony for the world to see?â you joke, walking inside.
âNo, but I did have a speech planned about how I want to make it up to you for hurting youâ
âCool, Iâd love to hear it⌠after I make you come at least three timesâ
Wandaâs about to protest when you push the door to the bedroom open. Unlike other times, youâre not that gentle with your movements, throwing her in the bed and falling right on top of her, desperate to continue kissing her.
And you are right, intimacy had always been such a huge part of your relationship, even with a crowded house. Wanda canât believe she managed to spend two months without your touch.
âYou said nothing worked⌠so you tried to fuck yourself without me? How many fingers, Wanda? Two? Three?â
âThe toy⌠the one weâŚâ
âSo needyâ you whisper hotly against her ear. âAnd yet you couldnât come, huh?â
âI want toâŚâ she gasps for air when you pull her pants down.
âI donât really wanna hear anything leave those lips of yours unless itâs my name, got it, princess?â
Maybe later youâll have time for a more romantic exchange. But now? You really need to taste her.
âHey!â she protests when you rip her panties instead of taking them off. You smile, sinking yourself in her center and you moan at the first taste.
It seems impossible, but itâs so much better than you remember.
Wandaâs hands anchor her by pulling your hair until your nose nudges her clit, and you both moan when you feel her shaking, legs closing around your head.
âGive me a minuteâ she asks when you go up her body, kissing and leaving traces of her own arousal.
âNah. You had two months. Iâm fucking you all nightâ you surprise her by flipping her body, and she ends up face down, head pressed against the pillow. You pull her ass in the air, spanking her, albeit gently. âUnless you want me to stopâ
âKeep goingâ she pleads, embarassed at the way her arousal is running down her thighs.
âThatâs it. Good girlâ you say when you place two fingers before her and she sucks them greedily. âNice to see you still remember how to use your mouth, babeâ
âY/Nâ she sighs, hiding her face in the pillow.
âI wanna hear youâ you remind her, entering her easily. Sheâs so wet thereâs no resistance, not even when you add a third finger.
Your fingers and mouth move in tandem, and Wandaâs so worked up that it doesnât take a lot for her to come again.
The only reason you show mercy is because her legs are shaking and she canât hold herself up any longer.
âFive minute breakâ you kiss behind her ear. âThen youâre riding my faceâ
A mix of a moan and a laugh leaves Wandaâs lips.
Itâs gonna be a long, great night.
â
The last time she woke up this late, you were home.
Months ago, when things were ok.
And now, as Wanda opens her eyes, looking out the window, it feels like that again.
She grabs your clothes, like she always does and walks up to the kitchen.
âBreakfast is almost readyâ you say over your shoulder. âCoffee?â
âMhmâ she nods. Before you can reach out and pour her a cup, she pulls you down to kiss you. She nudges her nose against yours, smiling. âMorningâ
âFucked all night looks good on youâ you tease, making her roll her eyes.
âIâm sleepy. Feels like I ran a marathonâ
âPoor Wanda, getting orgasm after orgasmâ you whisper against her ear when you place a plate with french toast and eggs in front of her.
âYouâre meanâ
âYouâre deliciousâ you say back, kissing her. âNow, eat. Gotta get ready for round twoâ
âYouâll be the death of meâ she says, blushing.
âIâm just saying, your flight doesnât leave until noon. Donât you want to try the jacuzzi?â
âTemptingâ she says, smiling.
The sight of her wearing your clothes, and having breakfast with adorable bed hair and a relaxed expression makes your heart soar.
âHey⌠I was thinking. Why donât the kids join you next time?â you propose, looking at your plate, afraid of Wandaâs reaction.
Her words stuck with you. You knew she was upset and didnât mean it. You knew you were good to the kids and they loved you.
But maybe itâs too soon to see them again.
âHey, whatâs wrong?â Wanda picks up on your mood.
âNothing. It was stupid, forget I mentioned itâŚâ you shake your head.
Wanda stands up and sits on your lap.
âI think thatâs a fantastic ideaâ she says, her hands cupping your cheeks gently to make you look up. âBut be prepared because theyâll be hyper verbalâ
âI can live with thatâ you smile.
âAnd weâll probably not have a moment to⌠you knowâ she plays with the collar of your shirt, raising her eyebrows.
âThen we better make the most of our time right nowâ you pick her up, and Wanda laughs. âYou were done with breakfast, right?â
âWell, I actually had some toast left on my plateâ
âHereâ you offer her a bite and then take one for yourself. âAnd off we goâ
Needless to say, Wanda almost missed her flight.

Addressing the sweetestdesire situation !!
ęŞŕ§ more screenshots are under the keep reading!
This morning i received an ask on anon regarding Brynn, also known as sweetestdesire. Informing me of her plagiarizing other peopleâs writings. (I completely agree what anon has expressed, it is completely wrong what she did)


With further research I clicked on all the links and saw that her posts (the copied ones) have already been deleted, so I canât say nothing regarding those links for sure. But one of my friends on here has also received an ask just like mine, just with different links/fics.
I cross read them and you can notice immediately that Brynn had copied them almost word to word, down below are some screenshots proving it!
(BRYNNS THE ORIGINAL )
* TAKE A HIKE (TITLE FOR BOTH )
* CAUGHT IN THE ACT (COPIED) LAST FIRST DATE (ORIGINAL)
* A FRIEND IN NEED (COPIED) THE PROPOSITION (ORIGINAL)
* ANGRY INSIGHT (COPIED) SORE LOSER (ORIGINAL)
As you all can see, itâs clear that she had stolen from these writers, which is completely unacceptable and wrong. Iâm not making this post to bully Brynn, I just want people to know the truth and understand what has happened, and the original writers deserve to be known as the actual writers of these stories.
That being said I have reached out to brynn outside of tumblr when I noticed that she had deactivated her account! I wonât share our conversations out of privacy for her. but I did bring this up to her, she knew what she was doing was wrong, and she apologizes. I asked her if she had anything she wanted to me to tell everyone, this is it.
âPlease let everyone know that I do apologize for just deciding to pussy out and just run away from the problems rather than come clean about everything and give a much needed apology. I shouldn't have done that and I shouldn't have done everything else that I've done. I don't know if I'll come back, but as of right now, I don't see that happening because I don't feel as if I belong on there or wanted for that matter. I fucked up and I take full responsibility about everything and if I could take back everything, I wouldâ
I want to say again that I completely agree with the anon, plagiarism is wrong! I apologize if this seems rushed (it is) but I believe that people deserve to know the truth, however hard it is!
Again, I want to make it clear that I am not making this post to bully, or be rude in anyway!
This is mostly all the information that I have on the matter, if anyone has any questions feel free to message me or send an ask!
tagging some of my moots to spread the word <3 @winterbarnesblog @wondrluv @wineauntie @fantillisgirl @isaadore @hhughes @lovesickhughes @sc0tters @letsgetrowdy43 @nylqnder @ebsmind @ruinix @prfctstrmrry @cuteandhughesy @hughesinthebox

TO YOU I BELONG: CHAPTER 6
Series Masterlist || Main Masterlist
Pairing: Alpha!Dean x Omega!Reader
Summary: Dean isn't looking for a mate, and the last place he expects to meet his soulmate is while on a case. Fate ain't real. He still has free will, and saving you is just another part of the job. Except, monsters aren't the only things you need saving from... 18+ only MDNI
Chapter Word Count: 4.5k words
Chapter Warnings: language, fluff, smut implied
Previous Chapter || Next Chapter
The Men of Letters bunker was full of many wondrous and wacky things. From weapons to ancient texts, to objects that looked like theyâd been pulled right out of a sci-fi movie.Â
Some were dangerous, plenty were extremely so, and others, Dean wouldnât touch even if he was wearing a lead-lined radioactive safety suit. Screw ten-feet poles.Â
Sam would say the same about the vast collection of handwritten reports and records the place had, too, but he would be wrong. Dean did, in fact, read on occasion. And it wasnât just in times of researching for cases or when he had the mark.Â
Sometimes he simply got bored.
Itâs how heâd stumbled on one particular document regarding mated pairs from another world and learned that not all of Chuckâs creations had heats, ruts and knots like they assumed. Although he shouldâve known that without reading it in a file. He always knew there was something funny about the doppelgangers in the Fiat besides the other Sammyâs man-bun.Â
Douchebuggery aside, somewhere in Godâs vast universe, there were humans who werenât categorised by secondary gender and thus alpha males who didnât have bulbous muscles at the base of their dicks.Â
Yup. There was at least one Dean Winchester whose junk was the same width the whole way along, except for the tip. That perv Sinclair, whoâd written on the subject the most, had actually drawn a picture of one. Not his, per se, but some random guyâs. Dean hoped.
There were also no marks or claims. No soulmateâs even. Just straight up male and female pairs, shacking up together, sometimes casual, but when serious, showing off their unions with rings and a piece of paper.Â
This world and its marriage thing sounded so much simpler in some ways. No marking meant no biting, and no knotting meant you could fuck off once you were done. That had to be convenient for one-night stands.Â
Whoâd complain about that?
But this society had another thing Dean remembered, and it was something that seemed to fit what the past two weeks had been like for him and you.
The honey-days period.Â
At least, that sounded about right. He wasnât about to reread the file again because the dick pick had scarred him for life.
Whatever the name was, after meeting four weeks prior, that was the stage he was at in his relationship with you, minus the swanky hotel and room service.Â
Every moment you had been together had been spent well, together. And Dean hadnât had enough.Â
Was he whipped? Maybe. Obsessed? If that label satisfied Sammy, then sure. But as he looked down at you, lying satiated on top of him, he didnât care, because the word that came to mind for him was happy. And the happiest heâd been in his life to date that he could recall.
Heâd slept like a baby last night, and your wake-up call earlier had been awesome. Exactly what he needed after another long hunt away.Â
His arms wrapped tighter around you, basking in the afterglow of your latest romp in the sheets. Not that they were anywhere nearby. One half had ended up tangled in his ankles, while the other was on the floor.Â
He nuzzled his chin into your hair. The smell of cinnamon, a touch of apple and a nip of whisky from his lips, reminded him of his favourite dessert, and his mouth twitched. Those movies had gotten it right. If only his stomach wasnât rumbling beneath you like a crazed animal, he might have gone in for a second helping.
He was starving. Wasting away to nothing and needing to do something about it real soon.
âWhat do you say I make us a big breakfast once weâve cleaned up?â he asked. It wouldnât be as fancy as room service, but heâd put in the extra effort for you. He knew how to whip up pancakes, bacon and eggs and would even add some fruit in it for you if itâs what you wanted.Â
But who was he kidding? What he had in mind wasnât for your benefit at all.
Still, he hoped youâd agree to it. While not heavy, your hips were pressing into his bladder, and taking a leak was fast becoming the top thing to do on his imaginary list.
âI think you mean lunch,â you mumbled.
Dean strained his neck to look at the alarm clock on his bedside. Fuck. It was close to twelve. No wonder he was feeling pangs from both organs. Normally, heâd be up and about by now. âI havenât slept this late in a long time,â he said.
âLast I recall, you werenât sleeping.â You chuckled and raised your head up to meet his eyes. The cool morning air rushed straight to his nipples, nipping at them, and yours, sending signals to his still deflating knot.Â
Damn bunker was always cold.Â
There mustâve been a few drops left of his release because he definitely felt a pulse at the root of his shaft and you quirked your brow.
âI just spent three days without you, sweetheart.â He shrugged.Â
Heâd missed you every second of them, too. Though, unlike the case in New Mexico, his insecurities had become more lax.Â
You now had an anti-possession tattoo, and you knew how to shoot a pistol and shotgun, sort of.Â
The revolver he kept under the war room table was a start. It was loaded, cocked and ready to use, which yes, he was well aware went against every piece of gun training his father and Bobby had ever taught him, but precaution was key. He needed to protect you, even when he wasnât there to do so.Â
âYou just got home,â you said, finding a sudden interest in his own ink. âAnd youâve been working a lot. How about you let me make something for you?âÂ
His fingers brushed through your hair, tucking the strands behind your ear that had fallen down. âLast I recall,â he said smugly, âyou were working, too.â
âWhat? Reading text books. You and Sam had it all figured out.âÂ
You pushed away from the mattress and crawled back to sit upright. But his hands found your hips, and he stopped you from moving any further. He didnât like your tone or the way you frowned.Â
âWe didnât know we had to light it up,â he said, hoping praise was what you needed to hear.Â
It was the truth, and he and Sam had been grateful. They couldâve spent longer away from home if you hadnât found the solution. The damn thing, that still had no name, had similarities with vamps, but it still wouldnât stay put, even after a machete to the neck and the rounds of lead and silver they blasted into its torso.
But you scoffed. âHow often do you guys burn things?âÂ
Without hesitation, he opened his mouth to speak. Only you had him stumped. His brain had no words to counter with.Â
They burned shit all the time, vengeful spirit or not. If they were ever in need of disposing of a body real quick, it was digging a hole and lighting her up, or finding a wood chipper. And it wasnât like he had one floating around in Babyâs trunk.Â
That answer wouldnât help him or you, though, and there was more to this than you being upset about the method theyâd used to get the job done.
He saw the pout, the subtle nod that youâd made your point, and the way your fingers continued to trace the lines of the pentagram on his chest. Any idiot could tell that something was wrong. He just needed to know what.Â
You were his mate after all, with or without his claim, and his current bodily function issues aside, it was his duty to look out for your welfare, both emotional and physical. Yet, he was hesitant to open up whatever rabbit hole he was about to.Â
Luckily, his inner Sammy was having a conniption. âTalk to her,â it said. âDonât jump to conclusions like you always do.âÂ
And for once, rather than saying something stupid, he listened. âIs everything okay?âÂ
âI justââ You bit your lip.Â
His stomach had decided it was the perfect time to gurgle in protest.Â
âYou know what, nevermind.â You patted him gently. âWe should clean up. You havenât eaten yet.â And you swung your leg off of him and moved to the edge of the bed.
Fuck. Guilt crept in on him. Something was bothering you, but things were getting desperate for his stomach and his plumbing, and the last thing he wanted to do was wet the bed, so ultimately, his own predicament won out.Â
He sat up, wrapped his arms around you, and pulled you down onto your back, catching you by surprise. Your squeal of delight telling him distraction was key.
Dean captured your lips with his, placing all of his feelings into it to soothe whatever was troubling you. Promising himself that he would work on fixing things as soon as the horde rumbling in his insides had ebbed.Â
Sam had been busy himself that morning.
So far, heâd searched the web for anything resembling a case, and found nothing. Heâd also gone for a run, taken a shower, and was finishing up in the bathroom when he received the text.
Where are you? It read.
He didnât think much of the message. Why would he?Â
It wasnât unusual for Dean to use his phone rather than look for him. The bunker was large, after all. Three levels, multiple halls and passageways, and those were just the areas theyâd discovered. Who knew how expansive a place could be when it had a giant telescope and a shooting range amongst other rooms?
While he found some interest in that stuff, Sam still prioritised cataloguing the library. Something he hoped to get you on board with, because Dean never helped him, and you had some experience with your former job.
He sighed as he picked up his phone to type out his response - My room. At least he would be when his brother arrived at his bedroom door. It wasnât far away and Dean liked to go slow on rest days. Especially now with you around.
Unfortunately for Sam, however, he had misunderstood Deanâs intentions, and dawdling by account was the last thing he shouldâve done.Â
He took his time, putting his boots on, getting the socks into position so that the seams didnât annoy his toes in the corners. He threw his dirty clothes in the hamper, making sure each piece was turned the right way out and separated. Finally, he returned his damp towel to the metal rung he kept it on, folding it just so that the edges lined up, and stepped out into the corridor with a wave of steam close behind him.Â
Swivelling on his feet, he strolled back towards his room, continuing with his leisurely pace.Â
He had not a care in the world.
That was until he rounded the curve and found himself in front of his brother, carrying you over his shoulder, and he did a double take.
âSammy?âÂ
âDude! What the hell.â
Unlike Dean, you had some shame and scrambled to make sure the sheet youâd been wrapped in covered your body, though you had done a fair job of that before Sam had run into you both, and he appreciated it.
He liked you. You seemed kind and sweet. Too good for Dean if he was honest, but he respected the soulmate thing and knew that for whatever reason, even if it was unknown, you already had a profound bond.
With Dean, however, heâd rather not have shared as much as what he was seeing. It was bad enough heâd heard things the past two weeks since returning from New Mexico, but this? âPlease tell me youâre wearing something.â He sighed.
âWhyâd you think I sent that message for?â Dean grinned, and Sam shook his head.Â
âBecause you were looking for me?â
âNo.â His voice was higher than usual. âI wanted to know where you were. Thereâs a difference.â
Fucking hell. He may have been awake for a good six hours now, but it was still far too early for semantics, especially with Dean. âWell, here I am,â Sam said, his arms and chest jerking forward in frustration.Â
âThis ainât your room.â
Sam stared at his brother in disbelief. Why did he bother? It was days like these he wished heâd stayed at Stanford. Or left Dean alone to succumb to that djinn in Illinois. Either way, he wouldâve saved himself some crap. âI was headed there!â
âWell, keep heading there. I gotta take a leak,â Dean said as he sped past. Your hands reached down, doing their best to cover the parts of him Sam didnât want to see.Â
âSorry,â you mouthed, and he shook his head in return.
He knew he liked you. He just wasnât sure how he was going to handle his brother with you around. Especially if what heâd just witnessed was about to become a regular occurrence.
Dean jiggled, flushed and flipped the lid. He was a courteous guy. And just maybe, had learnt his lesson a long time ago while living at Lisaâs.Â
You were already in the shower waiting for him when he padded across the tiled floor to wash his hands.
Youâd been quiet ever since heâd mentioned their recent case in Iowa. Quieter still when heâd made a joke about Sammy, having the personality of the Mountain despite being younger after heâd lied about where he was, and Dean was growing concerned. You normally laughed along with him about this stuff, and sure, it had been only four weeks of knowing you, but this was different to how you usually were around him.
Were you really upset that theyâd ganked the last d-bag by lighting âem up in flames? Had you wanted to help more on the case? Did you want to, Chuck forbid, hunt with them?
Over his dead body.Â
There was no way youâd ever take up that life. The guns and tattoo were only there as a precaution, nothing more, so he hoped there was another explanation.
But what else?
Your heat was due soon.Â
Maybe this change in mood was a sign it was starting?Â
âYou ainât asking that,' he chuckled silently to himself. He didnât have a death wish. Though he was screwed if this was going to become daily life for him.
He pushed those thoughts to the side. He was being a douchebag just thinking of them, and that wasnât him.Â
That belonged with man-bun Sammy and the version of him that wore dress shirts without a suit and tie. The guy was one good looking fella, heâd give him that, but Dean didnât need a fancy-ass shirt to pull off the same amount of charm with you, or anyone else. He was like Swayze. Better with age.
He glanced over the reflection of his torso in the mirror, catching your silhouette behind the glass screen sitting just above his shoulder.
The room was quiet besides the shower and splashing noises made as you washed. There was no sound of tears or smell of them, and he took that as a good sign. Great, when you smiled warmly at him as he entered the cubicle with you.
âBetter?â You squinted through the stream.
âI am now,â he said as he stepped closer to steal the warm water from you, earning himself a wet slap and you a cheeky grin.
His hardened chest pressed against your soft one, leaving barely any room for the spray to flow.Â
There was something sexy about slippery skin. There was something sexy about your skin. Who was he kidding?
Still feeling playful, Deanâs hand moved to perch on your hip. He leaned in as if he were about to plant a kiss on your lips, but swooped behind you last second, reaching for his body wash on the inbuilt shelf.Â
That earned him a firmer smack. One he revelled in. Violence was never the answer. Heâd made that clear when he screwed with Dick. It told him his shenanigans were working, though.Â
That, and you hit like a girl.
He caught your arm and poured a generous amount of soap into your palm, proceeding to use your hand to wash himself.Â
âI need to teach you how to throw a punch,â he said as he draped your fingers around his neck first, then down over both shoulders and pectorals. All guided by him, and his even bigger grin.
âWhy? Iâm not a hunter.â You scoffed.
You werenât interested in being one, either, by the sounds of it, thank fuck.Â
Your hand pulled against his movements. âYou thought I wanted to be?â
How did you do that? âI was worried you might.â
âWhat made you think that?âÂ
Now that he was being asked, he didnât have the answer. âI, ah⌠I dunno. Somethingâs bothering you âbout the last hunt.â
You took a step back and hit the wall with a soft slap, looking at him as if heâd just told you werewolves werenât real, even though you very much knew they were. Heâd ganked one in between the witches and their most recent case.Â
âSo you thought I wanted to join you? ItâŚâ You shook your head. âI thought you were hungry?âÂ
You would be wrong. He had lost his stomach minutes ago and now had Famine banging around in there instead. But he didnât tell you that. Youâd think he was crazier than you already did if he started bringing up the apocalypse. That was a discussion for another time when he brought up their not so straightforward relationships with God and the King of Hell.
âI am.â He laced his fingers between yours and pulled you back to the centre of the shower, watching as the spray hit your shoulders. âBut it can wait. Thereâs something youâre not telling me here, and I need you to tell me.â
Your head lowered, drawing him down, too.Â
Bad move. The water now ran over your breasts to your pert nipples, the curves creating tiny waterfalls that captivated his attention with the way droplets pooled at the edges. He had to swallow hard.
âI want to make you breakfast,â you said.
Uh⌠The statement wouldâve made him revert back to eye level, but when you bounced on the heels of your feet, it didnât help his resolve. The words, though. What? âYou wanna cook?â You cooked all the time.
âNo.â You shot back up. âWell, yeah. That came out wrong⌠I want toâŚhelp moreâŚaround the bunker. You know, earn my keep.â
Earn your keep.
Do more?
âYou do plenty around here.â Youâd been cooking for them almost every meal since youâd moved in. Organised the kitchen and kept on top of the use by dates in the fridge. He hadnât drunk off-milk or been in the laundry room in over a month. Maybe even two for the latter. But he wasnât about to admit that.
âNo, I donât.â You shook your head. âNot enough. I know hunting doesnât exactly pay the bills, but you and Sam go out there and save people, and here I am, making the occasional meal for you guys when you get home.â
Your hand came up to his stomach and smoothed over the creases that highlighted where his muscles lay beneath. âI wanna help more,â you said. âDick took all myââÂ
Dean smirked at your usage of your exâs nickname. That was his âendearment,â not yours.Â
âDonât do that.â You swatted him.
âI didnât say anything.â
âYou were thinking about it. I felt you smile.â
You did? Well, that was new. But he didnât question you. He had no heart to. Your mind was on a one-way ticket to that spark he knew.Â
ââŚRitchie took everything I have, and now I donât have a job to help pay my way.â You reached for the soap and squeezed out another dollop onto your palm and started running it over his body once more. âI canât even help you with your cases. I justâŚdonât want you to think Iâm mooching off of you guys.â
So thatâs what was wrong.
Dean had forgotten all about that dickbag bleeding you dry. Too happy and lost in the life heâd been building with you to realise that your baggage was still weighing you down.
âIt ainât mooching if thereâs nothing to mooch, sweetheart,â he said, pulling you back against his chest and wrapping an arm around your waist while his hand came up to cradle your head.Â
âBut Iâm used to working. Contributing. And Iâm going stir crazy not doing that.â
Dean sighed. There was that guilt again, only now he had cause for it. He and Sam always had each other, but they were leaving you here for days at a time, with no transport, no respite, no purpose, while only his phone calls kept you company.Â
Itâs no wonder you were struggling.
This place mustâve felt like a prison to you, compared to the life youâd had, even with that abusive fucktard. It was still cold in the warmer months. Creepy, as youâd complained about when they were in New Mexico, and you had no nest here, or space to call your own so you could make one.Â
Dean could relate to all of that if he was honest, minus the nesting thing. Thereâd been times in his life when he felt frustrated because he couldnât do jack. A broken leg. Heart problems because of some crazy-ass ghost. Sammy in hell. Okay, that was a little out of the present perspective⌠All in all, though, he didnât know what to do to help you.
That was until you said, âHow about you let me make you breakfast?â with a smile, and while he was perplexed once again by how the fuck youâd done that, he kissed you on your forehead, and smiled against your skin in return.
âWeâll do it together,â he whispered. And then grabbed your hand and moved it to wash his ass cheek.
Dean fumbled through the contents of the fridge. His fingers and ears were now at risk of frostbite on account of how long heâd been searching in there for. "Whereâd you say it was?âÂ
âTop shelf,â you said over the sizzling of bacon in the pan.Â
Heâd looked there already and there was no fucking butter.Â
He raised his head and pushed past the milk, juice and whatever the hell vegetable Sam had blended into liquid this time. If smoothies werenât meant to be green, they probably werenât meant to be brown either.Â
Yes, it couldâve been melted chocolateâŚ
But it wasnât.Â
Cocoa, or anything else associated with its candy form, did not smell like the contents of his stomach after cheap whiskey. Nor did it have lumps. Or take on that specific colour.
Gross.
And no closer to finding the damn butter.
He shut the fridge with a sigh louder than the metal doors creaking and went to the pantry. Oil would have to do. Surely they had some of that lying round the bunker. The kind he used for Babyâs engine was a no go, obviously, but he wouldnât say no to blessed pancakes if he got desperate enough to take the holy stuff from her trunk.Â
âWhatâre you doing?â you asked as he scoured the open shelving.
âWasnât any.â There was, however, canola or olive oil, and he picked them up and turned around to show them to you. âWhichââ
Your hands were already on your hips.Â
You scrunched your nose and channelled your inner Samantha before spinning on your heels, searching for the ingredient yourself.
It was no surprise you found it straight away, but in his defence, Dean hadnât expected it to be in the container Jody had âleantâ them a few months ago. The last time heâd seen the thing, there was gravy inside that was definitely gravy and not something he questioned as chocolate.
âWhereâd you find that?â
âIn the fridge. Top shelf.â You deadpanned.
âSmart ass.â He grinned, but pulled you close anyway when he stepped up next to you. âI didnât know youâd put it in that.âÂ
His chin dipped down to your shoulder and nuzzled his initials hidden beneath the fabric. The hiss you made between your teeth brought a smirk to his lips and a familiar pang to his own body.Â
âIt keeps better. Though I had to clean it out first. I dunno what was in there, but it wasnât edible.â
He moved to your mating gland and chuckled into your skin, peppering kisses over the sensitive flesh. âAnd you thought you werenât helping âround here.â
âCleaning out Tupperware with a living ecosystem growing inside of it does not make up for a nine to five,â you stated.
Though he heard you, his mind focused on the change in your pulse that had taken on a life of its own. If he didnât know any better, heâd say it was pulling his into a similar rhythm.
Your skin was hot to touch, warming the surrounding air, and everything started to make sense. âHow much longer till your heat, âmega?â (And here he swore he wouldnât be a douchebag.)
Your âHmm?â was distant, and he grazed his front teeth over your neck, drawing away to find lust filled eyes turning to meet him.Â
âDo I need to stop takinâ the suppressants?â His brows wagged, hopeful and just as driven as you had been lost in his attentions.Â
âIt might be a good idea,â you said, patting his cheek. âProbably best to think about your poor brother tooâŚshit.â Your focus returned to the bacon that was fast becoming a little too crispy even for him. When it spat back at you, you flinched. âWell, excuse me for not letting you burn,â you directed to the pan.
He rubbed a placating hand over your rear, then got to work whipping up a batch of pancakes. It was now past noon and while he may have been hungry before, he was close to eating the raw ingredients he churned the spoon through.
âSammy?â his mind repeated. Heâd rather not. But Dean recognised you had a point after this morning.
If things were reversed, thereâs no way heâd be sticking around during your first heat. It was surprising Sam hadnât lost his cool with him earlier, and he wondered if he should send his brother on a fake milk run. All he needed to do was find a suspicious enough murder a few states over. Maybe get Donna or Jody involved andâŚÂ
Dean looked down at the butter in the container. Another wider grin spread across his face.
âWhat?â you asked. Not moving an inch.
âHow many days do you think we got?â
Previous Chapter || Next Chapter
Ahhhhh - any guesses what's happening next?
I started to gain a rather large interest in the concept of nesting as I worked through this story, and the first little signs of it are coming up next chapter (it's in the preview below). As someone who's made a career in retail, it was only natural that my sales brain came up with stores having nesting departments, and it will feature again if you catch my drift.
I won't give too much away, but I'm on the edge of my own seat waiting to give you guys the next chapter to the point Iâm considering uploading it earlier! Are you guys ready for him to claim her?
Until then â¤ď¸
Chapter 7: Honeydayimg 04/04
âAre you sure we need all this stuff?â he asked as you passed another couple with only half the things you had.
âThis coming from the guy who had two slices of pie on top of his burger at lunch?âÂ
Point taken, he supposed, but youâd eaten just as much. Youâd had more than him, come to think of it. Lunch, breakfast, the night before. So when you patted his stomach, and he looked down at you grinning at him, he couldnât help but return a knowing smile.
âYouâll thank me later,â you said.
He knew he would. In more ways than one.Â
Still on your way to the front, you passed the nesting department located opposite the cash registers. Of course, it was just another convenient ploy to gain some extra impulse buys from naĂŻve omegas who hadnât realised they needed that new blanket or another stuffy until they saw the giant pile of fluff.
To Deanâs distaste, you were also won over by the gimmick and he was pulled along for the ride.Â

How SKZ would react to you calling them your boyfriend on travels!
Full word count: 2,002
details: Basically I'm going on solo trip abroad for my birthday soon and as a safety precaution I've decided to use low key photos of SKZ members and telling weirdos that they're my boyfriend and I kept thinking about what if I accidentally ran into one of the boys not knowing its them and then to show a photo of themselves saying that they were my boyfriend. I doubt the boys would ever make someone uncomfortable intentionally but I'm extremely jumpy with strangers especially men haha so I could definitely see this happening! Anyway hope you enjoy:)
Warning: One curse word was said! Mentions of stalking and harassment but no actual harassment unless you count Lee Know being slightly mischievous. Also if you do workout please be sure to have a spotter when lifting heavy weights ^_ââ
Thanks again for the support on Lip Mask while that was the first story I posted. This scenario was in the works well way before Lip Mask was even written but due to the support of SKZ Tumblr community, I felt wayyy more confident and comfortable with sharing this idea with you all! Hope you enjoy â¤ď¸
Hyung / Maknae / Masterlist
Bangchan (616 words)
It was the first day of your trip after a long flight and only arriving at 3 in the afternoon you realized your fight against jet lag might be stronger than you thought. The subtle feeling of sleep as you took a shower in the hotel not doing much aid. But with a few light slaps to your face you made your trek outdoors to explore the city hoping the walking and maybe some sugar would keep you up till nightfall. With that thought you grabbed your bag and threw on a scarf to keep the chill away.
So far after walking around for a bit, your shoulders started to tense. There were a lot of people and while crowded spaces aren't that scary there was the possibility that anything could happen. What if someone tried to steal your phone? You did your best to grip your phone in your pocket. What if someone tries to kidnap you? With that thought you began looking around your shoulder hoping to only feel at ease as the city rushed past you but instead, you could see a steady black-clothed figure hurriedly following you.
Panic began to strike. You knew in your research of the city that there had been some issues with men harassing women for dates going so far as to follow them for blocks on end. You knew you couldn't go back to the hotel not wanting the newfound stalker to stalk you even more and worse you didn't even know where you were, the buildings all looked the same.
Taking a deep breath you tried your best to high-tail it out of there only to feel your heart in your chest sink to your stomach when you realized the corner you turned on was mostly a quiet street nothing compared to the bustling city a few streets over.
With a deep breath, you pulled out your phone and swiped to the image of your bias Bang Chan hoping the stranger wasn't into K Pop and would accept the fact that you having a boyfriend was enough to back off.
"I have a boyfriend and this is him, I'm on my way to meeting him right now so can you stop following me," You said eyes slightly closed and phone outreach stopped the man at his pace. After a few moments of awkward silence, you began to talk, "Look he boxes for fun, Iâd turn around if I were you," when you got no response but the quiet sounds of a chuckle you opened your eyes to see a very similar bright red scarf. So similar it even has your initials sewn in on the bottom just like the one you're wearing. Without thinking you reached for your scarf in your other hand.
Blood rushed to your cheeks as it began to click. This man wasn't stalking you but out of some weird concern trying to hand you your scarf back. You quickly looked up at the guy ready to apologize only to feel the blood on your face rise even more. God if you were to compare a cherry red tomato to your face it probably be hard to tell the difference at this moment.
"When I said I would protect you all this didn't really come to mind" He giggled a bit more. You slowly put your phone away wondering if by chance there was a pothole you could bury yourself in.
He moved to put the scarf around your neck, âJagi you should really stay warm come on, you hungry? I wanna get to know my girlfriend a bit better yeah,â he said nodding his head in a direction up the street.
Lee Know (499 words)
Your stomach growled at you as you rounded the 10th corner of the day. None of the restaurants nearby were speaking to you. Deciding that you were far too hungry to look for a decent spot you wandered into the nearest convenience store.
Quickly deciding a particular appealing hot meal you wandered to the snack aisle, hoping to find a dessert that might even out your salty meal. After contemplating a few candy bars your stomach growled again. As hungry as you were you knew the dessert would either make or break your meal and luckily the store wasn't too filled so you knew checkout wouldn't take long nor finding a decent seat. Weighing your options you decided to go back to the cold section.
Not feeling ice cream as it was already extremely cold you didn't need your teeth shaking too, you decided to look over the choices of pudding. But as you looked you couldnât decided between Carmel or the Coffee jelly. Both were appetizing but what would bring you the most joy?
In your thought of pondering you heard a deep sigh from your left. Not thinking much of it you decided to move over slightly in hopes whoever needed the pudding would still be able to grab whatever they wanted. But as you continued to decided the sigh moved to your right. So you moved to the right slightly at one point you and the heavy sigher moved left to right back and forth that it seemed to be a game this stranger was playing with you.
With your own heavy sigh you put the caramel pudding back deciding the sweet treat would taste bitter from this unnecessary transaction. Quickly holding your head high without looking at the stranger you moved to decide on a drink.
But before you could grab the tea of your choice the sigh came back. Quickly you threw the drink in your basket and then grabbed your phone. Hoping that the photo of Lee Know would cause the sigher to get lost.
âLook i donât know what game your playing at but this is my boyfriend heâs just around the corner,â you warned showing the lockscreen in the stranger direction.
A loud laugh was pulled that peak your interest, he sounded familiar quickly looking up you nearly dropped the basket in your hands to which he grabbed to help support you.
âOh but jagi Iâm already here! You should be careful you could have broken the jellyâ He began to chastise you still laughing with no concern. A quick heat of a blush went to your cheeks as you tried to process this all. Forgetting your hungry stomach as it decided now was the perfect time to growl. The blushing deepens with each giggle. He raised his brow with another quick laugh.
âCome on iâll pay and then we can go on that date we supposedly planned,â he said motioning you to follow after taking your basket from your hand.
Changbin (374 words)
With the start of the New Year you had grown dedicated to going to the gym. Even going as far to go while on vacation. Ever since you began your workout journey you've had the displeasure of many unwelcome interactions from the male population. Going so far as having to use your bias Changbin as your lock screen. It had worked so far most giving up when they realized how built the man in the photo is and leaving you alone.
Normally you try the buddy system but this being a solo trip you had no one else but yourself and Changbin's photo to protect you. Deciding to start with the treadmill to warm up, you felt the familiar eyes of men as they watched you move. With steady breath, you turned up your music and focused on the TV in front of you.
After 30 minutes you decided to move to the bench press. Deciding that while you didn't have a spotter, it should be fine if you used extremely light weights. You noticed a peculiar muscular guy watching you intently.
You tried to shake his eyes off you got into position but before you could even start the same guy came running over lifting the weight off completely. Unable to hear him you turned your music down after he finished talking and only opened your phone to show him the picture of your saver.
"Look dude this is my boyfriend and he's almost here so I'd step back if I were you," You said not even looking at him reaching for your bottled water. Hearing a big huff of air leaving his lips you finally slowly turn to look ready to set a glare on him. Only to see a somewhat concerned Changbin looking at you as he smirked. A blush creeps up to your cheeks eyes going wide.
"Well seems like your boyfriend already here and wouldn't recommend you dead lifting without a spotter. Why don't you let me help Jagi" He said smoothly. You on the other hand clutching your heart at not only making a fool in front of your bias and the fact he called you jagi.
Definitely proud of yourself for keeping up this gym routine now.
Hyunjin (513 words)
Today had been a tad bit rough on your vacation. Your phone dying so you had no idea how to get back to your hotel that and your favorite shoes had a hole in them the only good thing being that you bought a new pair. And well that you did fine a decent book burning away in your bag asking you to read its text. Quickly trying to figure out your safe haven and hopefully an outlet.
With it being extremely late you stumble upon a bar filled with books and laughter as different types of people filled it. It was a book bar, one of the many to do things on your list, maybe your luck was changing. The bar wasn't too crowded but it definitely wasn't easy finding a spot next to an outlet. Tucked away in a corner you pull out your charger and the book in your bag sipping away on the bubbling beer.
After walking for hours and shivering in the cold the warm bar and the soft chitter chatter of others around you warmed you as the author's words pulled you in. The only problem is that the person next to you kept bumping into your left shoulder. You tried shaking them off which didn't work and after a glance at your still-dead phone, you sighed taking another sip. If only it were on you'd show the stranger your lock screen of your bias Hyunjin maybe his piercing eyes and oozing confidence would scare them away. With your luck, the guy left and you let out a breath you didn't realize you had been holding in, finally able to get back to your book.
But just as if the universe was testing your patience the same guy, you assumed, came back and began to softly poke you. Luckily as he did your phone turned on.
Without even looking you unplugged your phone showing the strange man your screen, "See this guy he's my boyfriend, and he's supposed to meet me here so if I were you I'd stop touching me, he can be the jealous type and you wouldn't like to see him that way," You said setting your phone down and turning the page of your book.
But the poker was relentless and poked you again with a little laugh. You quickly closed your book marking your finger in the pages as a steady glare brought you to the source of your annoyance.
Though everything went silent or rather your heart stopped as you realized it was the same man on your home screen that went out of his way to poke you. Fuck you thought.
"Well I was gonna ask if you let me plug my phone up too. Didn't know I came off as the jealous type," he said looking down as if lost in thought. Talk about strange luck.
âHmmm Jagi put the book away seems we need to talk about the boundaries of our relationship,â he said plugging his phone into your charger. Yeah, maybe you should get lost more often.
After writing author notes: I wanted these to end on a goodish note and leave with the boys being somewhat interested but i hope i didnât feed your delusions too much as this did with mine. Also sorry for the various word counts but some scenarios were easier to write more for than others but I enjoy all the boys equally so I didn't want to write more for the sake of more but just the context needed for each scene! Might be a bit till i can figure out the maknaes i really want the scenarios to be somewhat unrealistic but realistic to the boys interest and things they'd probably be doing on vacations days. If you want to speed up the process I'm open to ideas for the rest until then I believe some more fluff for the other boys are in the works.
Take care eat well and don't forget to touch grass every once and a while ( Ë ÂłË)âĽď¸

Relationship Headcanons (Liyue Boys)
Okay, these posts donât really follow a precise formatting, but there is a general line of reasoning I try to stick to when doing these headcanons. First paragraph is mainly explaining how the characterâs circumstances would affect their position on having a significant other, and any kind of pre-existing ideas (if they have any) about what the character would want from their significant other. Second, what they didnât know they wanted from a significant other, and how their partner would care for them/express their affection as a romantic partner. Third, some general ideas of what circumstances and person the character would fall. Some are more specific than others based on the reasons explained in the first paragraph. Fourth, how long it takes for the character to realize their feelings, how long it takes for them to confess, and then how they would go about dating their potential partner. Last paragraph is mainly how the character would act in a settled relationship and some ways they would express affection. For the most part angst free when it comes to the actual relationships.
Iâm so sorry Xiaoâs took up so much. Heâs the reason I started playing Genshin and his emotional walls took my entire stamina bar to scale. I just want to do our favorite emo boy right <3
I will be grouping characters by their home regions, or at least where the character is living/currently considers home, so Childe will be with the other Snezyneyans. As for those with unknown origins⌠weâll see if I make it there.Â
(Also no Chongyun. Iâm so sorry, but I donât have him and I just donât have a good enough grasp on his character for me to be able to write for him. To all of the Chongyun appreciators, I extend my deepest apologies. He seems sweet and cute.)Â
SO= Significant Other Link to the Mondstadt Boys post

BAIZHUÂ
Honestly, my personal favorite out of all the Liyue men (His story quest is a work of art) but I promise to try and not let that affect my judgment. Baizhu is another workaholic, except in this case the workaholic in question is quite ill most of the time and continues to make himself even more ill in order to fulfill his oath and calling as a doctor. Between his work at the pharmacy, his own personal research, and managing his illness, he is another who wouldnât give much thought to a romantic relationship. He had briefly thought about it in his youth, as many adolescents often do, but whatever desires he might have had were forgotten when he began his studies. Hypothetically speaking, Baizhu would want a significant other who shares his world views. Outside his flawless professional reputation, the few people who know him somewhat closely donât fully support his pursuit of immortality. An SO who Baizhu felt safe enough to confide in, and fully believed in his goal, would mean everything to him.Â
What Baizhu didnât know he wanted in an SO was someone who didnât just support his goals, but actively helped him pursue them while simultaneously making sure he took care of himself. Someone who would go herb gathering when Qiqi was busy with other errands, who would force Baizhu to take naps when he was fatigued and took care of the pharmacy on his behalf. Someone who would secretly stay up late into the night a few times a week in order to study every single medical text Baizhu had in his possession. Baizhu didnât even notice they did this until they managed to diagnose a patient quicker than him.Â
âNow where did you learn to identify such subtle symptoms darling?âÂ
âYour old textbooks make for excellent nighttime reading.â
I think for Baizhu to even consider someone romantically the first meeting would have to be outside a professional capacity. Perhaps they were a resident of Chenyu Vale who ran into Baizhu while he was searching for herbs. They were a photographer putting together a photo album to advertise to tourists, and coincidentally some of the most photogenic areas happened to host the plants Baizhu was looking for. Baizhu was fascinated in how they managed to capture the beauty of life, and when he found out they would be moving to Liyue soon he invited them to stop by Buba Pharmacy if they ever needed anything. However, he wouldnât see them again until the next Lanturn Rite, when they came looking for him after Qiqi told them he was too sick to leave his room. They sat at Baizhuâs bedside despite his protests and made him soup. Baizhu woke up the next morning feeling better than he had in ages, and the sight of them passed out with their arms folded at the end of his bed practically had hearts radiating from his eyes.Â
Baizhu is someone who is incredibly emotionally intelligent, making the time between the initial discovery of feelings and the realization of those feelings incredibly short. And the confession would only take as long as is necessary for him to gauge whether they might also be potentially interested in him. From there, it's straight to the admittance of feelings. Most likely somewhere secluded and scenic. Either by the seaside, or in the mountains at night where he asked them out on a picnic. He would know early on whether they were right for him, and though heâs incredibly inexperienced when it comes to romantic engagements, Baizhu finds that he is perfectly content to let them lead the way. He made sure to leave Buba Pharmacy to Gui at least one afternoon a week in order to spend time with them. This typically is excused as âherb gatheringâ (aka, they are trying to find new photo spots while Baizhu spends most of the time listening to them talk. Gui never comments that Baizhuâs basket is rarely even half-full when he returns). Nobody really knows their relationship exists. Not because they go to any length to hide their relationship but just because no one really knows Baizhu outside of his job. Once the right person notices though, it's the talk of Liyue for a few weeks. The benevolent but distant doctor is dating? How shocking! But after the few scraps of gossip ran dry and both Baizhu and his SO refused to feed into them, they died as quickly as they came about.
Expect lots of gentle affection from Baizhu. His SO would never doubt for a second that he treasures them beyond what is capable of being expressed in words, but it isnât the all-consuming love that many other Genshin characters would give. He is secure in his life and situation, and it's rare that Baizhu feels any kind of desperation for his SOâs affection that would manifest in the way he expresses his love to them. When it does though, needless to say his SO would be calling it an early night to fill his prescription of cuddles <3. Nothing much would change once they married. Baizhu would just have to remember to take off his wedding ring before examining his patients. Until of course Baizhu either succeeds in his goal, or he heals one person too many and places his life in an even more precarious position than before, forcing his SO to choose between saving the man they love and helping their husband fulfill their dream. But these posts are supposed to be mostly angst free so weâre not going to talk about that :)

Well. On the topic of angst, any relationship with Xiao (romantic or otherwise) is almost like a reverse of Baizhuâs. All of the baggage hits full in the face immediately upon introduction. As has been shown throughout the entirety of the game, Xiao is a walking ball of trauma and self-loathing. Between his abusive master, the archon war, and the deaths of his fellow yakshas, Xiao hasnât had a period of true happiness in a long time. Even now, when Liyue is at peace and Xiao is freed from his contract, heâs not able to begin healing. His karmic debt acts as a poison, forcing Xiao to keep a distance from humans or risk accidentally infecting them with god remains. However, Xiao also uses that as an excuse to continue avoiding any form of non-essential interaction with others. Centuries of ending the lives of countless gods and beasts alike has convinced Xiao he is incapable of doing anything other than cause harm. Undeserving of anything except the agony of his karma and self-imposed solitude. Even the idea of an SO that loves and cherishes him is so completely beyond his comprehension that he could be married to them and he would still have to wrestle with the voices in his head that say they donât actually want anything to do with him.
What Xiao didnât know he wanted was one: an SO. And two: an SO who exists outside of the violence and hardship. Someone who gives Xiao a safe space for him to let go of his burdens and just rest without his karmic debt hanging over him. Someone who would give Xiao the opportunity to heal.Â
Unfortunately, a mortal SO is out of the question. The Visionless canât be around Xiao for extended periods of time, and even those with visions risk being afflicted with karma. This would inevitably put a strain on the relationship, so Xiaoâs SO would have to be some kind of semi-immortal in order to give him some peace of mind. Most likely a fellow adeptus or another semi-immortal. Someone who will at least have heard of Xiaoâs past but also doesnât know him the way many of the adeptus with close relations to Liyue do and are entirely used to Xiaoâs behaviors.
I can see Xiao doing his usual patrols and ends up fighting a large group of monsters near Qingce Village. He hasnât let himself rest recently, combined with a few lucky shots from Hilichurl archers and a well-timed swing from a mitachurl pushes Xiao to his limit. He manages to finish off his opponents, but collapses before he can teleport back to Wangshu Inn. He wakes up partially submerged in a pool of water, an unfamiliar face looming over him. Panicked, but still weak, it took everything in him to leap away and teleport back to the inn. XIao immediately fell to his knees and resigned himself to laying down on the roof while he regained his strength. Once he could lift his head he checked for any injuries, and was baffled to find any trace of his battle gone. The only sign he had even been wounded was a quickly fading scar on his right bicep. Even the tear in his clothes had been restitched. The being, they hadnât looked like any spirit or monster, and yet the aura that radiated from them was certainly not human. Days later, Xiao was fully recovered and the mysterious being was still weighing heavily on his mind. He didnât have any idea of where he had been before he teleported back to the inn, so seeking them out would be nearly impossible. It was only after much deliberation that he decided to consult Mo-... Zhongli.
Zhongli, while shocked to see Xiao inquiring after something unrelated to his contract, provided him with what he knew. From Xiaoâs description, the archon remarked that they sounded like one of the younger adepti that had emerged after Fujin vanished. Healing spirits who blessed the water of Chenyu Vale, and would often ease the ailments of those who were brave enough to venture to the underground lakes that were their homes. Zhongli mentioned that one in particular was far more willing to venture above their subterranean home and aid travelers making the increasingly dangerous journey from Qingce Village to Chenyu Vale. When the retired archon asked why Xiao was so curious about them, he watched in amusement as Xiaoâs milk white skin flushed ever so slightly in embarrassment. He mumbled out a shortened version of what had transpired, and Zhongli lightly scolded the adepti for being so reckless, and advised him to seek out the healer and properly thank them for their assistance. The yaksha bid him goodbye and swiftly moved to the area Zhongli had directed him to. Carefully tucked away in a valley of broken statues and old stone faces was an old, worn passage. On instinct he summoned his polearm. Such areas were often infested with monsters and old spirits, and the yaksha had not survived a millennia of bloodshed by being careless. However, his caution turned out to be unwarranted. The dark winding tunnel was rather short, and opened up to a breathtaking underground spring. An old willowâs branches hung low over the pond, and resting beneath it was a figure identical to the one Xiao had seen before. Unwilling to disturb them, but also hesitant to simply leave and come back later, he decided to do what he did best. The adepti awoke to find Xiao perched in their tree, facing the entrance of the cave. Xiao was caught off guard how after their initial shock, they were actually really excited to see him. Xiao tried to maintain a distance, which only lasted a short time before they bullied him into letting them check his wounds. After confirming that all his wounds had healed properly, they pressed a Qingxin charm into his hand and promised to come if he was ever hurt or in need of assistance. Completely overwhelmed by their enthusiasm and the absurdity of their offer, Xiao did the only thing he could think of. He teleported away. Only to reappear a few months later with a mitachurlâs ax still lodged in his gut. His visits became more frequent and less a matter of life or death as he found himself being drawn to the kind and lively adeptus. Sometimes his visits wouldnât even involve interaction at all. He would just appear in the branches of their tree and watch them as they tended to their grotto and the animals that knew they could seek them out whenever they were injured.
Xiao is emotionally constipated. It would take him a looooooooong time to figure out that the peculiar feeling in his chest that swelled up whenever he was near them was love. Such a realization would then be followed by immediately abandoning all interaction with anyone while he grappled with feelings and urges he had never experienced before. Xiao would eventually seek out Zhongli for advice on how to get rid of the feelings. Unfortunately for him, Morax was secretly overjoyed that Xiao had found it in himself to willingly interact with someone else for his own pleasure. He knew Xiao better than anyone, and he already could envision the anxieties and fears plaguing the yakshaâs mind when being faced with such a fragile and frightening feeling such as love. In his infinite wisdom, he told Xiao that the best way to rebalance himself is to admit his feelings to the adepti. His confession would ease his own burdens, while also giving them a proper explanation as to why Xiao had been avoiding them. Xiaoâs cheeks flushed at the idea, but Zhongli had never led him astray before. The adepti was quite amused at Xiaoâs blunt admission of feelings, and even more so when Xiaoâs cheeks turned the color of ripe Sunsettias after they gave him a kiss on the cheek. The color further saturated when they said they felt the same.Â
The relationship would start out awkward. Xiaoâs experience with courtship is reduced to what heâs observed from human couples and the adepti, which has given him a lot of conflicting information about what he should be doing. Should he be holding their hand whenever theyâre together? Should he give them a gift during an important occasion? Xiaoâs uncertainty and anxiety would cause him to send very confusing signals to his SO, where something that he was perfectly fine with one day caused him to flinch away the next. Eventually the SO was the one to seek out assistance, as they had no idea what they were doing either. They had spoken with Cloud Retainer on a few occasions over the centuries and they knew she maintained somewhat close relations with their favorite yaksha, so they figured she would be able to offer some advice. Pleased that Xiao was finally attempting to open up to someone, Cloud Retainer told his SO that he simply needed time to adjust. He was entirely new to active relationships, and openly communicating their desires to him would be the best way to provide him direction. As the years passed, the awkwardness bled into a much more comfortable and easygoing routine. After a night of battling monsters and demons, Xiao would retreat to their shared abode to rest in his SOâs arms. They had rearranged a small cave next to the healing pool to create a nest that soothed Xiaoâs dormant avian instincts, never commenting when Xiao would spend hours rearranging it whenever he would add something new or decided that the pillows needed to be changed. On one such morning when the sun was already peaking over the mountains, both of them had already retired to the nest. Xiao had his SO tucked underneath his chin and his back to the opening of the cave. No monster dared tread within a mile of this cave anymore, but some habits could never completely be broken. All is peaceful, before a truly brutal realization stakes Xiao in a way karma never could. He was⌠happy. The peace he had only scraps of for centuries was now being given in quantities that made him feel slothful and glutinous. A single tear rolled down his cheek and fell onto his SOâs hand that was settled protectively over his heart. His SO blinked back into awareness and immediately cupped Xiaoâs cheek upon seeing the glazed look in his eye.
âDearest heart, are you alright? Is there something I can do?âÂ
Xiao nuzzles their hand before burrowing his face in the crook of their shoulder. Aching for his wings in order to hide them both away in the nest.Â
âIt's nothing Blossom. Please, rest. I merely wish to enjoy your presence for a little while longer.â

ZHONGLI
Another archon, however he is very different from Venti. Zhongli has always been closely tied to the people of his nation in a way the God of Freedom has never been with his. His SO could hold any occupation, come from any background, and Zhongli would find a way to connect with them. Unlike Venti I think he would secretly wish his SO would accept his offer to extend their life. He has lost too many friends and loved ones over the years that to fall so hard and treasure someone so closely only to lose them would be the final straw that broke his countenance completely. He would see his duty to its end, watching over Liyue Harbor, but he would do it from afar. There would be no consultant at Wangshang Funeral Parlor who knew more about the lands than seasoned historians. No friendly face in the crowd at Liyueâs many performances and festivals. Only a solitary soul who spends his days in the ruins on top of Mt. Aocang, reliving memories that had been lost to time the same way the faces of cliffs are worn down by the waves. While over the millenia he has found a handful of companions he grew particularly fond of, in his earlier years he had few goals beyond the protection of Liyue and the expansion of his hoard. After centuries of mellowing out, Zhongliâs priorities have shifted greatly, and only a few of his closest friends walk the same plane as him now. His love could be of the mortal or immortal realm, all he would ask of them was that they vow to stand by his side until the great mountains of Liyue are swallowed by the sea.
What Zhongli didnât know he wanted was an SO who was as good of a speaker as he was a listener. Someone still somewhat naive to the ways of the world and a boundless curiosity and desire to understand everything. That innate desire that manifested in conversations that seldom lasted less than an hour. For the first time in his long life, Zhongliâs tea would cool before he remembered it was there. He simply could not tear his attention away from the sparks that radiated from their eyes whenever they launched into a new line of inquiry.Â
As said previously, background or profession would not be an obstacle for Zhongli now that he was posing as a mortal. But I think Zhongli would be quickly endeared to someone who loved stories as much as he did. Whether it be an opera, a puppet show, or just oral retellings, he would quickly find himself interested in someone who is similarly fascinated by the art of story-telling. It would start out simple. Perhaps by inviting them to Third-Round Knockout to listen and discuss the stories told by Tian. Before long the conversation would extend beyond stories and trail into whatever topic of interest had come up. Soon after that meeting for tea would lead into long walks around Liyue, and then taking turns inviting each other to their homes for dinner. Zhongli is the perfect gentleman out of habit, and I have no doubt he would unintentionally win his SOâs heart before they even started officially courting. It would all culminate at Lanturn Rite when they would pluck up the courage to give him a kiss on the cheek right as the fireworks went off. It was the first and only evening where Zhongli didnât escort them back to their abode before returning to his.Â
Zhongli didnât leave his apartment for a few days as he took considerable thought into evaluating his relationship with them and whether he wanted to reciprocate their affections that seemed rather obvious in hindsight. A few days later, his SO would start the day with a knock at their door. They would open it to see a young man holding a large bouquet of peonies and jasmine along with a gold-flaked letter. The man explained a gentleman had paid him handsomely to ensure both the flowers and letter reached them. They thanked the man profusely before taking both of the offerings inside. They opened the letter to reveal an invitation to dinner at the Pearl Gallery the following evening as well as a VIP pass to allow them to board. They didnât want to get their hopes up, but they only knew one man that would write a dinner invitation in golden ink. They may have called off work and dipped into their savings to buy a new outfit that would look somewhat appropriate to wear to such an exquisite and up-scale establishment. The next day they spent hours getting ready, unaware that Zhongli was doing the same. When they were admitted onto the Pearl Gallery they were shocked to find the venue entirely empty, except for Zhongli. Their mouth went dry when they saw he had exchanged his regular outfit for an obsidian black overcoat and a white waistcoat. Gold details were everywhere, from the buttons to the intricately detailed dragon that coiled over the coatâs shoulder and trailed down the sides. The outfit itself only drew attention to Zhongliâs eyes, which would have fooled a master jeweler into thinking they were the finest of polished amber. Little did they know Zhongli was twice as smitten. It was hard to tell in the low-light, but his normally immaculate composure was stained with blushing cheeks and dilated pupils. Nevertheless, he quickly rose to his feet and greeted his date with a short but passionate kiss on the back of their hand. They were escorted to their seat just as a waiter arrived to confirm their order. The meal was accompanied by an immaculate performance by the Yun-Han opera troupe. The night was magnificent, and any lingering doubts were dispelled on both sides.Â
âWe are in luck the moon has hidden itself tonight, for I fear your beauty might cause it to crumble in envy.â
âYou flatter me so sweetly qÄŤn qÄŤn. I dare say it would only take a single word from you to bring the moon back to its senses.â
As the show came to a close, Zhongli escorted them off the boat and back to their house. Upon reaching the door, Zhongli presented them with an ornate box. As is tradition, he had elected to select a courting gift in order to officially declare his advances. They cautiously lifted the lid and gasped when they saw the ornate golden necklace nestled within. Zhongli didnât get to finish his courtship proposal because they broke down in tears halfway through it.Â
Zhongli is someone who would see being in a committed relationship as only a half-step down from marriage. Once the feelings are there, acknowledged, and reciprocated in full, he doesnât hold back. From the beginning of his relationship with his SO, he fits in seamlessly with their life. They never go grocery shopping alone again, and Celestia forbid they even consider carrying the bags. They are given gifts on a weekly, if not bi-weekly basis. Everything from exotic teas to priceless jewelry that they always wore out when they knew they would be seeing Zhongli. However, thereâs one last hurdle. Zhongliâs true identity. It took some time, but eventually he managed to arrange a trip to Jueyan Karst under the guise of a âsight-seeing visitâ. When he showed them his true form, they fainted. Zhongli was glad he managed to catch them on his tail and carefully brought them to his nest. They woke up surrounded by dragon and nearly fainted again before Zhongli transformed back. It was only after expressing his sincerity and desire to spend the rest of their life together (He wanted to ease them into the idea of immortality over time. After all, they were still young. He would accept the risk of waiting instead of forcing their hand). They would ask for a few days to think about it, which would make Zhongli incredibly anxious but he would accept it. And when they met him at their usual table at Third-Round Knockout and started talking like nothing had ever happened while carefully placing their hand over his, he is filled with a contentment that he hasnât felt since before the Archon War.Â
(Please excuse the detail, this man does things to me. Especially when I think of him in a black suit)

GAMING
I 10000% see this little cinnamon roll as someone who would marry their childhood crush. He just radiates cute boy next door vibes and I absolutely live for that. Gaming probably has the most normal understanding and expectations of relationships out of all the males in Genshin, so nothing crazy here. Heâs had a few crushes and gone on one or two dates. Since moving to Liyue heâs tried to move on, but for some reason no one makes him feel the same way as his friend back home does. No oneâs smile seems quite as bright, no oneâs laughter as pleasing to hear. Gaming has even caught himself composing letters to them and imagining what they would think of the various sights in Liyue when heâs supposed to be on duty. Gaming just wants a partner who will cheer him on during his Wushu dances and let him take them out for dim sum afterwards. A complete and total sweetheart.Â
What Gaming didnât know he wanted in a significant other was someone that didnât just show-up to his performances and ate dim sum with him, but someone who would actively encourage and help him with all aspects of his life. Someone who would secretly maintain and fix his equipment while he was out at work. Someone who would make and pass out flyers for his performances. Someone who tries their best to improve their cooking skills so they don't end up blowing so much mora on eating out. Upon finding out everything his SO is doing for him, Gaming would practically pounce on them and drown them in kisses and cuddles, praising them endlessly for being so sweet and kind to him.
Gaming seems the type to develop a crush early in his childhood and never let it go. I can vividly picture six year-old Gaming picking a few flowers from his familyâs garden even if heâs not supposed to, offering them, and asking shyly if they want to go see the Wushou dancers with him. But after he practically ran away from home, he didnât send letters or keep in touch out of fear of what they would think of his choices. It hurt a lot, but a clean break seemed like the best idea at the time. It wasnât until a few years later he encountered them again. Maybe they came to Liyue for business, or he ran into them by chance while on the job, but either way it was an unexpected reunion. Gaming freezes initially, not quite sure what theyâre reaction to seeing him again will be. When they almost run up to him and give him a hug, heâs quick to squeeze them back and he has to stop himself from twirling them around like he did when they were kids.Â
It wouldnât take long once the two started hanging out together again for Gaming to realize the feelings he had for them hadnât lessened at all, and now that he was an adult, he was finally able to give the feelings their accurate name. Gamingâs confession would depend on his SOâs circumstances. If they had a responsibility/career that took up a lot of their time, or were still in the process of getting over a past partner, he would wait as long as he thought was necessary for them to be ready to consider him a partner. If there was no obstacle, he would wait just long enough to plan a surprise romantic outing (probably a picnic) where he would put on a private Wushou dance for them before confessing his feelings. Upon his SOâs acceptance, he would simultaneously give the most hesitant but eager kiss of all time.Â
From there Gaming would be the most attentive boyfriend of all time. Any sign of affection or gift given must be repaid tenfold; they gave him a quick peck on the cheek? Gaming stops whatever he was doing to smother them in kisses. They still have dinner warm and ready for him when he comes home late? Tomorrow youâre both going to Third-Round Knockout for several courses of dim-sum. He frequently brought home little snacks and trinkets he had picked up at some point during the day. Even when his partner scolded him about his spending habits. Marriage seemed like a distant prospect, but every time Gaming passed by Mingxing jewelry or ran into a newly-wed couple, the idea of seeing a ring on their hand grew ever more tantalizing. But they were young, and Gaming could hear his Nai Naiâs voice in the back of his head lecturing him on proper etiquette and timing.

XINGQIU
This boy has all of the set up to be an anime character, (and not just because he looks like Ciel from Black Butler) specifically a school slice-of-life. Son of a powerful family who prefers to practice the art of the sword and read than deal with his familyâs business. And is another character that would forever have a crush on his childhood sweetheart. Only, he would remain oblivious to the true nature of his feelings until someone hit him over the head with the truth. Probably Chongyun. With his claymore. While Xingqiu was always raised with the expectation that he would marry a lady of high status in order to uphold his familyâs honor, from what Iâve seen of him and his family I think they would be willing to look past that if Xingqiu was truly in love. Outside of his familyâs expectations of what kind of person he should marry, Xingqiu would desperately want an SO who didnât see his hobbies as a distraction from his duties, but as a part of him.
What Xingqiu didnât know he wanted in an SO was someone practical. Someone who would make sure to have a stash of snacks hidden so whenever they managed to escape their handlers, they could hide for more than a few hours. Or paid off one of the managers of the bookhouse to set certain books aside to make sure Xingqiu never missed an issue of his favorite series. His favorite was when they had set up a picnic on a cliff adjoining Yujing Terrance with an entire dinner spread, cushions, and books for them to sneak off to when he was supposed to be attending a gala hosted by the Qingxing in the terrace below. Â
His SO would most likely be a fellow bookworm that he met at the publishing house. Being one of the few people unattached from his family and their business Xingqiu often found himself sneaking out to spend as much time with them as possible. This evolved into him dragging them and Chongyun around on his little adventures around Liyue. As he grew up and came into greater conflicts involving his future place in the family, they would be his anchor. A steady rock that reminded Xingqiu of his best memories, and why he chose to study the Guhua Arts in the first place. He wanted to be able to protect them from anything.Â
As mentioned previously, it would take a hot minute for Xingqiu to recognize the feelings he was experiencing were more than friendly. It's only after Chongyun flat out says to him that he talks about them more than anyone else and should ask them out that Xingqiu figures it out. Once Xingqiu does realize how much he loves them, you bet this chivalrous, manga-reading nerd would come up with the most romantic proposal (to ask them on a date) that you can possibly imagine. Flowers, chocolates, the sun going down in the background, the whole nine yards.Â
If they accept his romantic proposal Xingqiu would immediately get down on one knee after, summon his sword, and swear an oath of fealty. Promising them his sword and servitude whenever they require it. Dates would vary depending on Xingiu and his SOâs mood; sometimes they would feel like taking advantage of the Feiyunâs reserved table at Xinyue Kiosk whenever they were too tired to plan something, they might meet up in the early hours of the morning to go to the docks and watch the fisherman unload their hauls while the sun paints Liyue Harbor in orange and gold, or is Xingqiuâs SO has some kind of training in a weapon or fighting, they might take the day to explore the routes around Liyue Harbor and kill any hilichurls or slimes that were straying too close to the main road. This would continue until both Xingqiu and his SO were adults, and both of their families began putting pressure on them to marry. After years of steady dating, marriage doesnât seem like a daunting milestone or a grand occasion, because they are already fully committed to each other and have been for years. Their families spend months planning the marriage ceremony, inviting important officials and families from all over Teyvat, only for both of them to disappear halfway through the reception. The happy couple was found at Wanmin Restaurant the next morning, passed out at a table on top of each other with a book sitting half open in their laps.

Here have some snippets of the AU thatâs taken over my brain (featuring Elle unintentionally dunking on both of Bruceâs identities, Clark realizing he passed his taste in partners on to his son, a bit of pre/unaware that they are dating Super Serious Chaos, and some blink-and-you-miss-it background Enemies to Lovers Dick/Dan)
---
âSorry, whoâs Bruce Wayne?â
The room when quiet. All heads turned to look at Elle at the end of the table. Bruce didnât visibly react, but Clark could make out the subtle indication of disbelief that his old friend was feeling - that they all were feeling at the interpreterâs question. Elle, suddenly aware she had the full roomâs attention, had the look of someone who realized theyâd said something wrong, but didnât know what.
âYouâre kidding.â John said, âYou know Bruce Wayne. Everyone knows Bruce Wayne.â
Elle blinked. âI donât.â She glanced from face to face, âIs he like a big deal? Does he work here or something? I havenât been around that long so I might have missed him.â
It took every bit of self control Clark had not to laugh. His voice still came out a bit strangled from the effort as he offered, âNo he doesnât work here.â If Bruce was the type to do so in uniform, heâd be kicking Clark under the table.
âYou live in Gotham. You have to know Bruce Wayne.â Barry said, voice going a bit high with growing bewilderment. âMega ba-jillionair. CEO of Wayne Tech? Richest man in Gotham - in the world? Has like a hundred kids?â
Their interpreterâs nose scrunched. âSo heâs likeâŚin one of those fundamentalist cults obsessed with having a bunch of kids or something?â
Bruce actually twitched at that. The sound of utter disgust in Elleâs voice at the concept, the complete and total lack of any kind of recognition she had for the single most famous non-crime or crime-fighting related person in the city that she lived in, she truly had no idea who they were talking about. Clark had to get a recording of the roomâs security feed, Lois would love this. Oh, wait no, Bruceâs kids. Maybe if he was fast enough he could text Dick to get there ASAP so he could see it all in person before it was over.
âNo! Nothing like that! He adopted them - well most of them.â Barry tried to explain, looking utterly lost as he turned from Elle to the rest of them and back again. âYouâre messing with us right? This is like a joke?â
Elle shook her head, looking just as lost as Barry did. âI have no idea who youâre talking about.â
âDo you know Dick Grayson?â
âI know of an officer Grayson who is a dick. Total tool. Heâs been making my brotherâs Danâs life miserable for like a year now. Pretty sure not who youâre talking about though.â
âJason Todd.â
âThe library goon?â
âTim Drake.â
âSounds like a Dark Wing Duck character.â
âCassandra Cain.â
âIsnât that the author that started out writing incest Harry Potter fanfic?â
âDuke Thomas?â
âWhatâs he a Duke of?â
Barry snapped his fingers, pointing emphatically at Elle with a look of victory on his masked face as he shouted, âDamian Wayne!â
Damian, who had at that moment just walked into the meeting room with Jon at his heels paused in his place just behind Elle. He did pretty well at hiding his surprise at Barry seemingly shouting his civilian name and pointing at him upon walking in. Though the tense line of his shoulders suggested that if Barry was actually revealing his secret identity without warning or permission, there would be blood.
Stella Nightingale, unaware of the almost-kinda identity reveal going on around her, tilted her head in confusion at the speedster. âIâm assuming heâs related to that Bruce Wayne guy?â
âTheyâre all related to Bruce Wayne.â John said with open amusement now. The Green Lantern had given up on the research entirely, watching the entire debacle with a growing smirk he kept casting towards Bruce. âThat manâs face is plastered absolutely everywhere in the news. How do you not know who he is?â
âIf Lois Lane hasnât written about him he canât be that important.â Elle said with a casual certainty of one speaking a core tenant of their beliefs. Clarkâs opinion of the young woman - already quite high considering her ferocious loyalty and fondness to Jon - rose sharply.
âYouâre read the Daily Planet?â Clark asked, warmth curling in his chest at the mention of his wife and her work.
âI read articles by Lois Lane.â Elle said promptly, âI tried reading some articles that Kent guy she partners with sometimes wrote on his own but I couldnât get past his writing style. Dude sounds like heâs from outer space with his word choice sometimes.â
Bruce, looking far too pleased, gave a quiet and not terribly convincing cough as Clark tried to will his soul back into his body.
It was going to be a long day.
â
âYou are at least aware of who Gothamâs vigilantes are, yes?â Damian asked with a raised brow behind his mask.
Elle shrugged, giving him a sly smile. âThe relevant ones.â
Clark tried to hide his short laugh with a feigned cough. Elle at least was distracted enough with Jon and Damianâs attention to notice but Bruce was giving him a look over the tablet he was trying - and undoubtedly failing - to review files on.
Jon grinned eagerly from his spot beside Elle as he asked, âArenât they all relevant to you? You live in Gotham.â
âI live in Crime Alley.â Elle corrected, bumping his shoulder with hers. âWe have different standards of relevancy there.â
âSo what are the relevant ones then?â Clark asked, pointedly ignoring Bruceâs burning stare. Theyâd get back to the research. Eventually. Finding out if the Gothamite who had been spending all her free time with Phoenix and Flamebird for the past year and a half was as oblivious to her cityâs heroes as she was its celebrities was too entertaining a notion to pass up.
âPhoenix, obviously.â She grinned cheekily at Damian across the table, ticking names off her fingers as she continued. âRed Hood. Spoiler. UhâŚOrphan?â She trailed off, forehead scrunching in concentrated thought.
âThatâs canât be all the ones you know.â Jon gaped, eyes sparkling with amusement as he glanced over to were Bruce was seated, not five feet away before turning back to watch Elle try to rack her brain for any more Gotham vigilantes. Clark could see the moment that the words are taken as a challenge as Elle sat up and looked more determined.
âNo, shut up, I know more. UhâŚthereâs the one, um Red Sparrow? Itâs another bird one with red name, Iâm pretty sure. And the one with the blue - fuck I should know his name. Nightjar? Wasnât Nightingale I would have remembered thatâŚshit, dude threw up on our couch once I should remember his name -â
âNightwing threw up on your couch?â
âNightwing! Thatâs the bitch! He got poisoned or something and Dan drug him to our place to patch him up since Doc Thompkinsâ clinic was closed.â
Clark shared a look with Bruce and Damian. Dick had failed to mention that little event. Clark could see Bruce reaching for his wrist computer, undoubtedly typing out a message his eldest about what heâd just heard - possibly another to Alfred if he was feeling like pulling out the big guns.
At the other end of the table Elle ticked Nightwing off with a nod, even as Jon squawked that it shouldnât count since heâd given her the name, âThen thereâsâŚuhâŚoh! Harley Quinn!â
âHarley Quinn does not count.â
âShe beat up a guy trying to mug me last week and got me a hot chocolate afterwards, she totally counts!â
âSomeone tried to mug you?â
âCrime Alley, Nix, if someone doesnât try to mug me while Iâm out I get worried that I missed Hood calling in a Street Clear for something big.â
âWeâre going to circle back on that later.â Jon said, sharing a pointed glance with Damian. It looked like young Miss Nightingale was going to be getting escorted to and from the Watchtower from now on.
Ah, Clark mused, falling head over heels for someone with no understanding of the concept of self-preservation and a stubborn determination to run straight into the heart of danger without a second thought. It brought back such fond memories. Of both Lois and Bruce. And Diana. And - Hmm. Kara might have been right. Clark might have a type.
Watching the three at the other end of the table and taking them in, Clark realized he might have passed his taste in partners on to his son. Well, at least heâll be able to give Jon some advise on how to handle the heart attacks Damian and Elle will inevitably give him.
âHarley Quinn doesnât count. You got any more?â
Elle rolled her eyes, muttering about Harley totally counts, before leaning back in her chair. âI think Iâm out. I know thereâs more but,â She gave a shrug, âIâm tapped out. Those are all the ones I can think of.â
It was, surprisingly, Bruce that spoke up at that declaration, a slant of amusement to his lips as he asked, âNo one else comes to mind?â
Elle waved him off, attention turning to the mountain of alien script they needed her to translate for them. It was the reason she was even there rather than in her office trying to translate whatever incredibly dangerous magic tomb JL Dark had dropped off without accidentally summoning a demon or ending hte world in the process. Jâonn was right, they really should give her a raise.âThatâs all I got.â She said with a sigh, âLike I said, I know the relevant ones.â
âHn.â
Twenty minutes of shared looks of amusement and suppressed laughter later Elleâs head shot up, a look of wide eyed embarrassment on her face. âOh my god.â
âThere it is.â
âAbout time Nightingale, I was starting to be concerned about your mental faculties.â
âShut up, this so embarrassing!â
âDonât sweat it kid, we all have our moments.â
âI canât believe I forgot Signal.â
âWhat.â

Context of this snippet if anyone is interested:
This is actually the same AU as the Steph & Jason sibling bonding Anger Management snippet from a bit ago (Iâm calling it my Ghosts in Gotham AU in scrivener so I guess thatâs what Iâll call it here lol). This time focused on Elle and her misadventures as a Totally Normal Civilian (TM) working for the Justice League with her two besties Jon & Damian (none of them realize yet that theyâve been dating for months).
No idea when this is supposed to take place in terms of timeline with the other snippet, but kinda vibing the idea that while Steph & Jason are having a heart to heart on a rooftop over their shared background and Jasonâs future as a dad, Elle is up in the Watchtower telling Bruce Wayne to his face that she has no idea who he is and forgetting Batman is a Gotham vigilante while heâs sitting at the same table as her.
Anyway, this AU has taken over my life. Expect more nonsense to come lol

đ đŤđŽđŻđ˘đ đđđđ˘đ§đ đĄđđđđđđ§đ¨đ§đŹ
in which he finally makes her his! (after 100 yq)
also no beta we die like gruvia

first date
because in her head, theyâve been dating ever since they first met, gray âlover boyâ fullbuster has to be the one to ask juvia outâthatâs how you know it was gonna be a special one
though he should feel confident, given all the research heâs done purely for this moment, his mind draws a blank
he only thinks about juviaâs interests and what she would like to do⌠but itâs hard when the person youâre going out with doesnât have much interests besides yourself
on the day of, he meets up with juvia at the guild hallâthe latter excitedly running up to hug from the side (as per usual)
gray takes her out to a little cafĂŠ that just opened since he knows she likes to bake (even if her creations sometimes are a hit or miss)
they reminisce on the times where they ate togetherâthe caramade franks, the gray- and juvi-buns, and when they were living togetherâand they look back on them fondly
little did they know, they were gonna get a slight intrusion from their comrades
in the next table over, lucy, natsu, and happy are also seatedâthe salamander and the exceed feasting on the baked goods like thereâs no tomorrow, causing the ice mage to stare past juvia and looking at the two in disgust
is everything alright, gray-sama?
he then notices that she probably thought he was looking at her all grossed out, but points out that their guildmates have also decided to try out the new cafĂŠ as well
she turns around and they exchange happy greetings, the five of them finishing their meals together
and though gray wouldnât mind spending time with his comrades, he was looking forward to just spending the day with juvia (not that heâd actually admit that out loud)
so while juvia talks with lucy while natsu and happy continue ravaging the food on their table, gray just sits aloof, but leaning back on his chair as he drapes an arm over juviaâs
where are you guys planning on going after this? weâre going shopping since thereâs this new dress i got my eye on
when lucy asks that question, gray was hoping that theyâd just split ways after they were all done at the cafĂŠ, but heâd think that juvia would say no anywaysâafter all, why would she let her date spend any more time with one of her love rivals, right?
juvia thinks she knows what dress lucy-san is talking about, she wants to check it out too! what do you say, gray-sama? for sure, youâd like to see juvia in a cute new dress~
his cheeks flush red
he did not want to go to some girly store at all
but at the same time, he had a golden opportunity right in front of him
tchâwhatever you want, i guessâŚ
and thatâs how the fairy tail members end up at the boutiques, the celestial-spirit and water mages trying out a mountain of clothing
⌠as well as bumping into erza, wendy, and carlaâwho seemed to have a similar idea as well
so this first date gradually became a group hangout, which gray tried very hard to not be bothered by, but his mind couldnât help but itch for some alone time with juviaâŚ
does she feel this too? he thinks, taking a glance at her typically-cheery self, is she feeling this now?
but juvia remains unbothered, so gray is content with just glancing at herâthe smallest hint of a smile can be seen on his face
ICE PRINCESS HAVE YOU GONE DEAF??? OR YOU GONNA KEEP MAKING GOO-GOO EYES AT JUVIA???
and there goes his calm
at the end of the date, gray drops off juvia to her apartmentâheâs stoic but deep down heâs bummed that their date couldnât have turned out better
thank you for the great date, gray-sama! juvia had a fun time!
heâs clearly taken aback when she not only hugs him, but also gives a quick peck on his cheek, which instanly goes warm
youâre not sad the guys crashed our date?
of course not! juviaâs happy she spent the day with gray-sama, because she knows gray-sama has the most fun being with his team! ⌠did you enjoy our date, gray-sama?
did he have a good time?
when he thinks back on the day, his mind only recalls all the moments where he saw a twinkle in juviaâs eyes, every time his heart does a little jump when she laughs, and most importantlyâhow she kept smiling the entire time
so, he smiles warmly at her, placing a kiss on her forehead before answering
i wouldnât change a thing
in general
they usually spend most of their dates indoors, either at juviaâs or at grayâs
but their favourite outdoors dates are between market strolling and picnics... gray gets more affectionate if their picnics are in secluded areas
their mutual love languages are definitely quality time and physical affection
individually, juvia's is more towards words of affection, and gray's is acts of service
whenever gray has a day-long job, juvia wakes up extra early to make him a homecooked bento
between jobs, when heâs back in town, juvia doesnât mind whenever gray lounges around her apartment, happily doing his laundry and serving him homey meals
anything to keep him from crashing at lucyâs place, right?
speaking of laundry, grayâs saved a lot of jewel from going to a tailor to get his clothes fixed because juvia does it for him!
sure, theyâre all personalized since she sews their initials inside a heart for every garmet she mends but the embarrassment is a small price to pay than actually having to pay a tailor
on top of the scarf sheâs made for him, juvia has knitted him sweaters, hats, and mittens (though the last one was pretty tricky and she accidentally added an extra finger to one of them)
juvia also sewed together a juvi-doll for gray to take on jobs âin case if he misses herâ
he actually makes more of an effort to not lose the doll over his own clothes
theyâd cuddle over the night, gray wonât admit it thoughâheâs comfortable spooning juvia when sheâs in a deep sleep
they also have recurring nightmares (especially gray, whoâd then hold onto juvia tighter)
sometimes, when he holds juvia tight enough, to the point where she wakes up, she soothes him by running her fingers through his hair and stroking his head until his teeth stops grounding
she prefers being the small spoon, but the payoff from being the big spoon is more heartwarming to juvia
and it's not like he'd ever admit it, but gray loves being small spoon
typically juvia would only go for jobs with gray, but eventually she grows comfortable with taking on jobs on her own
but if she did need a companion, gray only feels comfortable if it were just girls accompanying her, and gajeel as well
actually maybe not cana... they get too chummy with each other...
erza neither... they're even more chummy... but at least it's nothing to worry about because they're in the same team anyways
yep, gray definitely gets some possessiveness issues
he knows itâs stupid, but he also knows it would be more stupid of him to expect her to wait around the guild hall like a sad puppy until he came back from a job
not that itâs ever happened to him before
juvia gets less possessive, but gray gets more possessive
her love rivals decrease down to just lucy and other women who openly express their attraction to gray (even after she and natsu finally get together)
meanwhile, gray's pda actually peaks whenever lyon is in radius of them, and even though juvia insists that she and her ex are back on good terms platonically, he can never leave her alone if they bump into him
after all, if the jerk could easily dump her at her worst, he didnât deserve to have her at her best
and even if a guy merely checks juvia out, gray already has 23462348 ways in his mind to take that perv down
juvia still initiates all the hugs, but now that theyâre together, gray eagerly returns them
in fact, juvia's physical affection doesn't really intensify nor tone down when they start dating, but gray definitely blushes more
they don't regularly have tease-offs when they're alone, but in the guild, whenever the others start to tease gray while juvia's being all lovey-dovey and teasing him as well, gray easily shuts everyone up the moment he starts teasing juvia back
despite the đŻďż˝ďż˝ďż˝đŽđŞđ´ juvia is, it really doesn't take gray much to have her all sheepish and bashful, and everyone else is just immediately uncomfortable
after all, every single time gray teases juvia back, his clothes are gone in a thanos snapâand that's already bad enough
you'd think the guild would get used to it after knowing gray for so long... they never doâand now they've got something else from the ice mage to be disturbed by
as for pet names? it pretty much stays the same
juviaâs: gray-sama, gray my love, my darling gray, gray my belovedâhis name is too important that she canât give a proper pet name unless his actual name is in it as well
grayâs: juvia (rarely âmy girlâ, âmy womanâ, âmy wifeâ, âmineââjust any possessive title, really)
but never babygirl or pookieâthose per names are cursed to him
gray doesnât give juvia a pet nameâher name is just that special to him, he doesnât feel the need to add flowery words because her name is already worth more than precious metals and stones
thatâs why if he ever hears somebody call her name a bit too friendly for his liking, grayâs already on edge
juvia always asks gray what he wants for dinner or his bento
unless if gray has a specific craving, he usually just tells her to surprise him (because he loves pretty much everything she makes so he already knows itâs gonna be good)
special dates
juvia keeps track of all the anniversaries (months, years, when they first met, when they first got together, their first date, their first kiss)
legend says she still knows how many days passed since theyâve met
as for gray?
he only needs to know one dayâher birthday
because of all the dates she keeps track of, sometimes she tends to forget when her own birthday comes up
and when that happens, gray pulls out all the stops
breakfast in bed (he saved some jewel for lessons), a vase of flowers, a fancy restaurant dinner, and a moonlight stroll
and of course, he plans a midday surprise party at the guild hall (but passes it off as the whole guildâs plan and fails)
and during grayâs birthday, even though the ice mage prefers to just lounge around and cuddle with his partner, he just goes with whatever juvia has planned
it makes him happy since he loves seeing her face light up from the planning alone
double dates
usually they go with gajeel and levy
theyâd also go with natsu and lucy, but since gray and juvia get together before they do, it never really counted as double-dates until the dragon slayer and celestial spirit wizard finally make it official
juvia stops being as hesitant before going out with gray and nalu (once the latter makes it official, that is)
gajeel and gray donât really butt heads in the same way gray does with natsu, but there is definitely tension between the two
apart from levy, juvia also brings a sort of ray of sunshine vibe to the dark, bleak, edgy angst that gajeel âdoesnât reallyâ likeâsibling dynamics, yunno
so god help gray if he fucks that up
on the other hand, the bluenettes always have fun, even moreso when galeâs baby joins them on their dates
gray is perfectly normal about seeing juviaâs maternal instincts when she babysits for them likeâ baby fever who??
but unfortunately for gray, having the baby around just fuels gajeelâs paternal instincts and the overprotectiveness just goes through the roof
so thatâs all the headcanons iâve got so far, i might make some nsfw hcs but iâve got a paper to work on for school this month as well as all the other stuff iâve got going on here that iâve been putting offâŚ
anyways hope yâall enjoyed reading this lol

First time
Imagine your first with Luigi.
Based on junior year in college (3rd year)
Summary: Details of how you lose your virginity with your bf Luigi
Pairing: Luigi Mangione x virgingf reader
Minors do not interact!
Warnings: smut, loss of virginity, discomfort and pain
-Are you sure?
Youâve been dating Luigi for 9 months, the most intimate you guys have been is making out. One day while sitting in his lap studying in his dorm you mentioned that you are ready to have sex. Luigi was flabbergasted asking you repeatedly âare you sure?â In your heart, you felt sure and especially with Luigi. He made you feel so comfortable, when you told him you were a virgin he didnât have a negative reaction (yes the bar is hell) however he made you feel loved and provided a sense of safety in this crazy world.
-Arrangement
A few weeks prior to your conversation about having sex with Lu, he booked a hotel off campus for the weekend. He also did research on female pleasure reading various books, made a reddit post and considered all of the tips that were given . He really wants your first time to be magical and hopefully not too painful.
-Today is the day!
Friday night you guys arrived at the hotel. You were extremely excited to be intimate with Luigi. Walking up to the room, Luigi held your hand so tight. His palms were sweating due to overthinking about this entirely. Before picking you up, he set up the hotel room with candles, roses trailing the floor and on the bed and white balloons. When walking you gasped out of shock â All of this for me??!!â Luigi laughed and embraced you into a kiss.
-3âŚâŚ
Luigi asked you to change into a beautiful black negligee. You changed into the bathroom, Luigi briefly read some notes he took from the book he read. Walking out with the negligee, Luigiâs mouth dropped, adoring how beautiful you looked âYou are so gorgeous babyâ he took your hand to spin you around. You felt so admired and beautiful. âI hate I am going to take this off of you soonâ.Â
-2
You laid down on the bed looking up at him in admiration. Hooving over you he placed a kiss on your lips. âI love youâ he said softly, reciprocating that you said âI love you too Luluâ. The staring match you had with him, he broke off by looking to the right, to be honest he was nervous on how he would perform. Before anything, Luigi explained a few things from him using a condom, there are tissues on the nightstand and âIf you feel this is too much just say the word apple and I will stopâ. You nod, confirming you understand everything.
-.....1!
Luigi first started to perform oral sex, removing your panties to reveal your wet cunt. He softly used his tongue so you can adjust to the feeling. Sucking your throbbing clit, you started to whimper âyes Luigiâ, you placed on his hand stroking his curls. The oral sex you received felt amazing and he was so gentle with you. After you had your first orgasm, you guys took a miniature break. Luigi asked intensively, âWas everything alright? Did I hurt you honey? You shook your head, as you took a sip of water. Going back to position, he started to finger you, you screamed when his index finger entered you. He was hoping by fingering you it can somewhat âopenâ you so the actual penetration wouldnât be so painful. Slowly but surely he inserted a second finger in you when you were âadjustedâ. Your body was stiff and you began to sweat, hopefully he didn't notice. He played with your clit a few more times to which made you whimper even more.Â
âDoes this feel good sweetheart?â Luigi asked.
âNot really but please donât stopâ. You responded.
Luigi hearing this didnât feel good made him sad, he just wants to make you feel good:(.
-PenetrationÂ
After being fingered for sometime, you told him you were ready for âhimâ.
Taking another short break, Luigi pulled out his boxers and put on a condom.
Seeing how large he was only shocked you of how will âthatâ fit into âthisâ. He pulled your body down to the edge, before entering inside you he asked âWhat is the code word to stop baby?â
âIt's appleâ, he shook his head feeling a tad bit more confident. He sloooowly enters a little more than his tip into you, causing you to yell. âAPPLEâ he immediately pulls and panically asks âDid I hurt you honey?â
You shook your head yes, which he asked if you rathered be fingered. You agreed so he went back to fingering you, maintaining eye contact, he then entered two fingers into your. His fingers felt amazing, he was happy to see the once distressed face have a small smile. When your second orgasm hit, you asked him if he wanted headÂ
âNo not tonight itâs all about you sweetheartâ. Laughing at his response, you wanted to try penetration one more time.Â
Luigi applied lube onto himself and made sure to enter ONLY his tip. The pain of the new feeling was still there, trying not to yell out you gripped the bedsheets for support. Luigi asked if you wanted to stop but you insisted on keeping going. After about 8 strokes, Luigi entered you slightly further which tears started to form in your eyes. The tears were from a mixture of discomfort and pleasure, Lu also rubbed your clit which felt great.Â
âYou feel amazing honeybunâ Luigi praised you, he was really enjoying this to the point he was moaning himself. Despite only taking half of his âlengthâ you had a small orgasm and he finished in the condom.
-Aftercare
Your legs and waist felt extremely sore, hard to move. Luigi noticed this and assisted whatever you needed he would do. Such a sweetheart you thought. He carried you to the bathroom to pee after peeing he sat you on the bathroom sink. He kissed your forehead and praised you âI am so proud of youâ.
âThank you, you are so kind to meâ
âCmonn, I am your boyfriend it would be a shame if I wasnâtâ.
Tears of happiness started to dwell in your eyes, finding someone who treats you with the utmost respect. You read posts about numerous horror stories of losing your virginity and were terrified you would lose it to a loser who doesnât care about you. That wasnât the case for you, Luigi wiped your eyes and reassured you everything will be okay. You asked if he can run a bath for you which he immediately turned on the warm water and added soap to make bubbles. He then sat you in the water, the warm water felt amazing on your body. Sitting besides you and Luigi talking about any and everything, he cupped his hand to let the warm water run on your back. He kissed once again telling you âI love youâ.
You told âI love you too, my lu-bearâ
-Aftercare to falling asleep
After the bath, Luigi helped you change into your pajamas, carrying you to the bed bridal style. He also pushed the flowers to the edge of the bed. He turned on the tv for you and you did some channel surfing. Luigi took a shower, when he came out of the shower he crawled in bed with you. His hair was wet and he shaved the stubble off his face.Â
Your eyes began to feel heavy, laying in Luigiâs chest you slowly drifted asleep. Luigi was reading a book, when he realized you fell asleep he kissed your forehead and he then fell asleep.

taglist | @snazzynacho
You had been dating Danny for three months and somehow still hadnât met his family, it wasnât the most unusual thing in the world but you couldnât help but feel a little suspicious. You would always hang out at your house, never at his. He always made an excuse about a messy room or someone working from home that day and you were beginning to feel a bit fed up with it. Today he was picking you up for a date, a trip to the movies. You heard his horn go off and ran outside, hopping into the passenger seat. You lean over and give him a quick peck, âYou look cute today, scruffy, but cute.â You caress his cheek, looking at him lovingly.
He blushes, leaning into your touch like a cat. âSo you donât want me to shave?â
âNot yetâŚIâll be generous and give you another week,â you tease, pinching the pale flesh of his cheek between your thumb and forefinger. He giggles and pulls away from you, he backs out of your driveway and starts to head towards the theater.Â
You could save your questioning till after the movie, make it easier on both of you, but youâve never been known to choose the easy route. You decide to come right out with it, âWhy havenât you introduced me to your family yet?â
He coughs nervously, âW-What?â
âYour family. You havenât introduced me to them at all, you havenât even brought me over to your house. We always just go to mine. There has to be a reason, so tell me Danny, what is it?â
His face grows hot and he swallows nervously. âI-It just hasnât been the right timeâŚtheyâre always busy. YâknowâŚI justâŚâ
âYou hardly talk about any of them besides your grandma, who sounds lovely by the way. But it just feels weird, if you have a bad relationship with them Iâll drop it but Iâm just curious about your family. It feels like youâre hiding me from them and vice versa,â you explain.
He sighs, âMy parents are justâŚa lot, okay? They still treat me like Iâm a kid, hell my mom still has Life-360 installed on my phone.â
You giggle, âWere you a bad kid in high school or something?â
He laughs, âThe furthest from it actually. I hardly went out, never went to parties, never did drugs. I was a good kid, my parents justâŚtheyâre intense and I know they care but they donât really treat me like an adult yet. I didnât want to scare you away or have you think Iâm some Norman Bates mommyâs boy, I just want you to like me.â
âI already like you, dork. Do you think Iâd be going out with you for three months if I didnât like you? Iâm certainly not dating you for your car.â
âBut you could be dating me for my money,â he jokes.
âIâm practically your sugar mommy, mr. unemployed, I donât wanna hear it.âÂ
âOkayâŚokay, I get it, you do actually like me. But are you sure you wanna meet my parents?â
âYes! Câmon, let them get the embarrassing stage out of the way already. Iâll come over and bring them some nice wine and nod politely while they show me baby pictures and tell me embarrassing stories about you from your childhood. Doesnât that sound nice?â Youâre trying your hardest to convince him.
âIt sounds better without them embarrassing me but I guess it could be worseâŚwhy donât you come over for the final night of Hanukkah, itâs the one day this week where both my parents are off work so they wonât be super stressed or anything. Weâre doing it at my grandmas so youâll get to meet her too,â he suggests, finally giving in.
âI finally get to meet the famous Thelma Post youâve been telling me about!â You celebrate.
âIâve told her all about you too, sheâs been asking when she can meet you.â He starts to poorly imitate his grandma, âDanny Iâll have one foot in the grave before you bring her over to see me!â You both burst into laughter at his imitation. âDonât tell her I did thatâŚpleaseâŚâ
You hold your pinky up, âPinky promise.â
Itâs the eighth day of Hanukkah and Daniel had come over to your place to help you cook, he insisted that you didnât need to bring anything but you were determined to make a good impression. Heâd been here for a few hours helping you make sufganiyot, normally his mom would make some but she was more than happy to leave that task up to you once youâd offered. Youâd already made the filing the night before, letting it sit in the fridge for a few hours. Danny had been eyeing it as soon as he saw it in the fridge. Once you were done preparing the sufganiyot youâd piped some onto his finger, letting him finally have a taste. He sucks the cream off his finger and moans at the taste, âFuck this is good. My mom is gonna have one bite of this and ask when Iâm putting a ring on your finger, I swear.âÂ
âAnd what are you gonna tell her?â You tease, placing a hand on the counter and leaning against it, trying to look seductive.
âThat I need an actual job before I can even think of walking into a jewelry store.âÂ
You roll your eyes and he wraps an arm around your waist, pulling you into him to give you a soft kiss. He looks a bit silly, wearing the apron youâd bought him when youâd gone grocery shopping the other day. It had a stupid little slogan that made you cringe on it and you knew itâd be perfect for him. When heâd arrived you held it up for him and he rolled his eyes. âFor me?â He teases, holding his hand up to his mouth. You smacked him with a dish towel.Â
While you went to get cleaned up and changed for the party Danny lounged on the small couch in your living room, flicking through the channels. He was grateful the SY-FY channel was still playing shitty horror movies this time of year. Heâd gotten about halfway through Sharknado when you came out into the living room ready to go. Youâd done natural makeup, some soft smoked out eyeliner and some lip gloss. You were dressed casual but cute, wearing a dark blue sweater and some black jeans. Danny sits up from the couch and smiles as his eyes rake over you, âYou look great.â
âYouâre so sweet to me, Danny. Câmere.â You outstretch your hand to him, pulling him up from the couch and into your arms to give him a soft kiss on the cheek. He grabs the wine off the counter and you grab your tray of sufganiyot and he opens the front door for you, locking it up before opening the passenger door for you. As you sit in the car on the way to his grandma's condo your knee bounces up and down, a nervous tick that youâve had for years. Danny notices and places his hand on your thigh.
âItâs gonna be okay, I promise. I should be freaking out more than you, I have no idea what embarrassing shit theyâre gonna tell you tonight!âÂ
âI really hope they have a whole scrapbook for me to look at. I wanna see every embarrassing school photo, your awkward prom pictures, your cute little baby pictures.â
He groans, âYour parents didnât show me any of that for you though!â
You laugh, âUh yeah because I told them Iâd never come back home again if they did.â
âYouâre mean.â
âIâm not meanâŚI just know how to get what I want.â
He narrows his eyes but keeps them on the road, âIâll keep that in mind.â
Your hands are trembling when you get to his grandma's condo, you knew youâd be nervous you just didnât know youâd be this nervous. âDo you think theyâll like me?â
He chuckles and parks the car, âTheyâll love you. You have your shit together, youâre beautiful, youâve helped me get my shit together Iâm pretty sure thatâs everything they want in a woman for me.âÂ
âAnd if they somehow donât like me?â
âThen Iâm staying with you anyway, I donât care what they think. I know theyâre gonna love you and I know for a fact that my grandma is gonna love you. Before the night is over sheâll be shoving her phone in my hand and demanding I friend you on Facebook for her.â He smiles at you like youâre the only girl heâs ever loved, he means every word he says, heâs not just trying to make you feel better.
âThe only approval I need is yours and Thelmas.â He laughs at your joke and leans across the console to kiss you. He cups your face gently. When you pull away heâs smiling like a schoolboy.
Your face contorts in confusion, âWhat?â
âI justâŚâ He runs his hand through his hair, âI really like you. Iâm happy weâre doing this.â
You feel like a lovesick teenager, âMe too.â
Daniel goes around and opens your door, bowing his head as you step out of the car. âYouâre such a nerd, you know that, right?â
He smiles at you playfully, âAre you gonna bully me in front of my parents? I donât think theyâll like that too much. My grandma especially wonât.âÂ
âWell shit I canât let Thelma downâŚâ
âExactly, so be nice!â He kisses your cheek and leads you to the door. He knocks quickly before wrapping his arm around your shoulder. You rest your head against his shoulder as you wait for his parents to open the door. You hear rustling and suddenly the door opens. His mom is standing there with a huge smile on her face. At first glance she doesnât look much like him, sheâs got dark brown hair cut into a neat bob and light green eyes. When she smiles thatâs when you see the resemblance. Her tortoiseshell glasses pair nicely with her tan sweater and brown pants.Â
âItâs so good to see you two! Come in, come in!â She exclaims, moving aside for the two of you to come in. You follow Daniel inside and kick off your shoes by the door before going into the kitchen to put your sufganiyot down on the counter. Thereâs already a few dishes sitting out and ready to go. Latkes with a small dish of sour cream sat next to them, fried bimuelos with honey drizzled over top, and some brisket. His mom, Gail, hugs you like sheâs known you her whole life.Â
âDanny has told us so much about you, I was wondering when he would finally introduce you,â she says, nudging him playfully with her elbow. He looks down at the floor bashfully.
âI guess I didnât realize everyone was soâŚeager to meet.â
âWell with how you talked about her we all wanted to finally see the lovely girl. How are you?â His father, Alan, comes up behind Danny and outstretches his hand to you. You shake his hand and smile politely.Â
âIâm great, Danny takes the best care of me. Youâve raised a wonderful son.â
Daniel looks down blushing again, he does this every time you praise him. Itâs something heâll never get used to.Â
You take a second to look around the room, her kitchen reminds you so much of your grandmaâs house. The only word you can think of for it is cozy. She has an array of plants all over the kitchen, some are sat on the windowsill above the sink. A few of the bigger ones sit on a white metal shelf populated by some cutesy glassware and a couple cookbooks. You feel right at home. You grab the wine from Daniel and present it to his parents, âI wasnât sure what kind you would like so I hope this is okay.â
They take the bottle and inspect it, âItâs perfect.â
His parents thank you and bring you into the small tv nook where Thelma is sitting comfortably on the family's couch. You marvel at the collection of books sheâs collected over her lifetime. They sit cozily on her built-in shelves, a modest CRT TV sits at the center. On each side of the couch sits more bookshelves. You can imagine yourself curled up on her orange and white pinstripe couch spending your days working through her collection. âGrandma, thereâs someone Iâd like for you to meet.â She turns and smiles as she sees you. Sheâs quick to get to her feet, walking towards you happily. âOh honey! Finally! I thought weâd never get to meet at this rate, ah, look at you! Danny youâve always had good taste but sheâs got to be my favorite! Oh just look at her, Danny you make such a cute couple.â Now itâs your turn to blush as Thelma gushes over you. She holds your hands in hers and smiles at you warmly.
âYouâre too kindâŚDanny has said so much about you. I think heâs been hiding me away so I donât become your new best friend,â you joke, helping Daniel lead her to the front of the house. The house is set up a bit strangely, her main living room is quite spacious, and a bar sits behind one of the floral couches. Itâs unused, now displaying various family photos. Thereâs even more books on more beautiful shelves, you wonder if sheâs read them all.
Thelma playfully swats at Daniel's arm, âHave you been hiding her? I always could do with more friends. You know that, Danny.â You admire their menorah as it sits on a white tray on a small table in front of the window, itâs a beautiful gold color, made of brass. It was his parents' wedding gift. A blue table runner sits beneath it.
He giggles, âCan you blame me for wanting to keep her to myself?â The three of you stand together, his parents on either side.Â
You watch as his father loads the candles, their matchbook sits on the tray next to the menorah. You watch as his father strikes the match and lights the shamash and begins to recite the blessings. âBaruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech HaOlam, asher kidshanu bâmitzvotav vâtzivanu lâhadlik ner shel Hanukkah. Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech HaOlam, sheâasah nisim lâavoteinu, bâyamim haheim bazman hazeh.â Once heâs finished reciting the blessings he lights each candle from left to right and puts the shamash at its place in the center. It makes you think of past Hanukkah celebrations youâd spent with your family, itâs the first year youâre not spending it with them. You have a feeling you can convince Daniel to come to yours next year.
You all head to the kitchen and grab a plate and start to grab your food, you load your plate up happily.
Daniel pours you each a glass of wine, Thelma has water instead. The table is small which makes things a bit cramped but you make it work, you and Daniel sitting close enough that your elbows knock occasionally.
âWas your family alright with you missing out on celebrating with them this year?â Thelma asks as she sips from her glass.
âThey understood, theyâd like Danny to come to ours next year for a night. They really loved him when they met him.â Daniel squeezes your hand softly.
âOh of course! Maybe we could all get together next year, have a little party!â She suggests.
âThat sounds perfect. Iâm sure theyâd love to.âÂ
As you begin to dig into your food you look over at Gail with a sly smirk. âSoâŚwhat was Danny like as a kid?âDaniel chokes on his wine, his eyes going wide. He didnât expect you to start asking about this as soon as dinner started.
Gail smiles knowingly at Daniel, she knows just how badly sheâs about to embarrass him and sheâs going to cherish this moment for as long as it lasts. âOh he was just precious. Such a sweet smiley little boy,â she takes a sip of her wine, âbut he was so shy. I remember on his first day of Kindergarten he was so scared, he wouldnât let go of my leg. Poor thingâŚâ
âAww DannyâŚI was a shy kid too. Maybe not that shy but it took me a while to grow out of it. I remember sitting at a table with a group of other shy kids in English class and we were all supposed to do some project together and I had to pull myself out of my shell for it because none of them wanted to,â you laugh.
âThat sounds like Danny. Yâknow there was this shy boy in his class when he was younger,â she turns to face Daniel, âWendy Horowitzâ son, do you remember him?â
Daniel nods. He has no clue who sheâs talking about.
âAnyway, he got hooked on Don Julio and heâs been in and out of rehabs ever since. Always made me worried for Danny, you never know what the quiet ones are doingâŚâ
âWell I donât drink much, Iâll have one if I go out somewhere nice for dinner, but Iâm usually the designated driver. Danny doesnât really have much when we go out either.â
Gail rubs Daniel on the shoulder, âOh youâre cutting back on the drinking? Good, see Alan sheâs already a good influence, only 3 months in!â
Alan smiles, âYou did get him to throw out that ratty old cardigan too.â
âThere were too many holes for it to be considered wearable at that point. I bought him a nice new one to replace it.â
Daniel blushes, âThe new one is softerâŚâ
âHeâs always worn his clothes till they were falling apartâŚIâd always fix them up so he could wear his favorites a bit longer,â Thelma says.
Daniel looks at her with nothing but love in his eyes and smiles,âAnd thank you for that. Youâre why most of my favorite sweaters are still around.âÂ
Gail chuckles, a memory surfacing. âDo you remember that phase you had where you would only wear your Spider-Man costume? You were like whatâŚsix? You wore it everywhere! I remember you even demanded you wear it to school under your clothes.â Daniel's face turns bright red as the rest of you giggle.
âI uh, I think I do remember that,â he scratches the back of his neck nervously.
âThatâs cute. I think I did the same with some princess dress my mom had got me.â As fun as it is to watch him squirm with embarrassment you still donât want him to get too embarrassed.Â
The rest of dinner is spent with Gail telling childhood stories about Daniel, most are just cute instead of embarrassing but once dinner is wrapped up is when the embarrassment really starts. Thelma is quick to lead you to her array of childhood photos of Daniel she has on display. You pick up each one, inspecting them closely as he looms over your shoulder, face bright red with embarrassment. âDo you really have to show her the middle school ones? Those are justâŚtheyâre badâŚâ He groans as he pinches the bridge of his nose.Â
âOh but Danny you were so cute! Wasnât he?â Thelma asks, turning towards you.
You giggle and smile, âThe cutest.â
âSee! Not embarrassing!âÂ
Daniel groans and puts his hands over your eyes, he leans down to whisper in your ear, âI think youâve seen enough.â Itâs playful and cute. You giggle and lean back against him.
âI think I wanna see more actually-â
Heâs quick to cover your mouth with one of his hands, âShe doesnât know what sheâs saying. That wine mustâve been strong, right baby?â He moves his hand from your eyes to your chin, maneuvering your head to make you nod. âSee? Sheâs all good on childhood pictures now, Grandma.â
You lick his palm and he yelps, pulling his hand away. âDonât listen to him! Show me the worst ones!â
Thelma is doubling over in laughter at the two of you, it reminds her of when she had met her husband. âOh Iâve got more, sweetheart. Donât worry.â She heads over to the bookcase to start looking for her photo albums.Â
Daniel leans down to whisper in your ear so softly that no one else can hear, âYouâre so getting it later. You hear me?â
You giggle, âIâm sure I am, DannyâŚâ He loves to talk a big game but hardly ever follows through. You know itâll end in giggles and a makeout session on your couch.Â
He helps Thelma bring over the photo albums, setting them down onto the coffee table before taking a seat next to you. âYou better be nice to me about these.â
âDanny how bad could they be? Donât be so dramatic, we were all dorky when we were younger.â You rub his shoulder comfortingly. You lean against his arm as he opens the first one. The first page is his mom holding him in the hospital, his tiny footprints next to the photo make you tear up a bit.
Thelma tells a small story with each photo, âHe was such a smiley baby. The happiest in the family. I remember Gail called me one time to ask if it was normal for a baby to be so happy all the time,â she laughs, âsheâs always been such a worrierâŚâ
âYou were adorable Danny, your smile is the same now yâknow.â
He leans his head against yours, âSome things never change I guess.â
âIâm glad youâve still got that sweet smile and all those beauty marks.â
He smiles and presses a kiss to your forehead as you continue to look through the photo albums. His face heats up with embarrassment as they reach the elementary school photos. Heâs wearing silly graphic tees and missing teeth, new ones growing back into place. Thereâs photos of him playing video games, kindergarten and 5th grade graduations. Photos of him with childhood friends and peers, most of the names he canât remember but he has a story for almost all of them. âHe had a pet lizard! I begged my parents, and Grandma of course,â he nudges Thelma with his elbow, âfor one too. But when I actually went over to his house and saw it in person it scared me so bad I never asked for another pet again!â
âWhat kind of lizard was it?â You ask curiously.Â
âA bearded one, like that dinosaur in Jurassic Park that ate Nedry.â
Your eyes light up, âAh! I can see why youâd be terrified now.â
He blushes bright red with embarrassment once the middle school pictures start coming up, awkward phases, bad haircuts, and plenty of embarrassing stories. Itâs an awful time for everyone but it seemed particularly cringe inducing for Daniel. You and Thelma stifle laughter as he tries to defend his magician phase with his life.
âThe girls were into it I swear!â
âThelma, did you tell him that to make him feel better?â You ask, leaning forward to see her.
âI think I didâŚâ
Daniel dramatically scoffs, feigning offense at her confession.
âDid you like try to pull a flower out from behind a girl's ear?â You joke.
His cheeks turn pink, âI-IâŚnoâŚâ
Heâs a little less defensive over his high school photos, you can see him finding his style in every photo. Heâs switched out his silly graphic tees for band t-shirts and cardigans, his cargo shorts for skinny jeans. Itâs interesting to watch him figure out who he is through photos. You smile at the photos of him at concerts on his tiptoes trying to peer over the shoulders of the people in front of him. Thereâs ticket stubs from his favorites glued down next to the photos of him at each one. You can tell you wouldâve been friends in high school, probably more considering how you ended up. He was your type to a tee. You could imagine asking him out to see whatever indie movie was playing at your local theatre, him slipping his headphones on you in a diner afterwards to show you his new favorite band. You feel a pang of sadness that you didnât know him back then. Youâre grateful to have him now. You cuddle up a bit closer to him as he gets to the final picture, itâs him on graduation day. His hair was grown out and combed back under his graduation cap. His favorite is the shot of Thelma and him together. He has his arm slung over his shoulder as he holds her close.
âWhy donât we take one of you two to add to the album?â Thelma suggests.
You smile and look at Daniel, trying to see how he feels. Heâs smiling just as big as you are and he nods, getting up from the couch. âWhereâs the camera?â
âItâs in my office on my desk, right by the computer,â Thelma explains. Once heâs walked off to retrieve the camera she leans close to you, taking your hand in hers. âYouâre my favorite of the girls heâs ever brought over. Thank you for being so good to himâŚI think youâre what he needs.â
You feel tears begin to well up in your eyes, your lip quivering. You reach up to wipe your tears and nod, âI think heâs what I need to.â Thelma leans forward and hugs you tight, you pull away with Daniel comes back with the camera.
âShould I call dad to come take it?â He asks Thelma.
âOh no, dear. This is the one technology I know how to use!â She gets up from the couch and takes the camera from Daniel, directing him to sit next to you. She continues directing the two of you, telling you how to pose. âDanny at least try to look like you love her! Youâre so stiff!â
He chuckles and tries to relax, pulling you closer to him. Youâre leaned against him, your head on his shoulder as he holds you close. You glance up at him for a second and hear the camera go off. âOh, I wasnât ready!â
Thelma smiles down at the photo, turning the camera back around for the two of you to look. Itâs instantly your new favorite photo of the two of you. Youâre cuddled up, gazing into each other's eyes. âI think itâs perfect, dear.â

i need need need headcanons for anthony with a gf whoâs like got a career in STEM and sheâs super smart and as an actor heâs amazed by her lmao.
this is so cute! thanks anon
Iâm looking for a woman in STEM - Anthony Ramos x F! Reader
prompt: headcanons for Anthony whoâs girlfriend is in STEM - iâve picked biomed for a degree since my mom wanted me to do biomed in high school
TW: mentions of academic stress and panic attacks, mention of drugs used in medicine, mention of mental illness
đŹ when you both first met, and he first asked for where you graduated from, let me tell you - mans did NOT expect you to say âCambridgeâ
đŹ âOh, so like Cambridge College in Massachusetts?â
đŹ This man omg
đŹ When you said âNo, Englandâ he felt goosebumps cause like âgeez louise CAMBRIDGE?â and when you casually said you did biomed he was like âwait what-â
đŹ âMe? Oh, I did Musical Theatreâ he says matter of factly, and youâd add âOh, I played piano when I was in elementary-â
đŹ Youâd be the definition of a perfect golden child. He knows that couldnât have been easy
đŹ When you two do start dating, heâs always bragging âOh my girlfriend does lab research for this new supplement for this drug for schizophrenia in children-â HEâS A PRO YAPPER. Especially in interviews.
đŹ Heâs so proud of everything youâve done - doing medicinal research at NYMC (New York Medical College)
đŹ Maybe in the winter as you two are baking (you always make sure the measurements are perfect, never letting him measure anything out lol) he always says baking is an âartâ
đŹ âActually babe, itâs chemistryâ youâd chuckle, taking a bite out of some gingerbread cookies, and ever since, heâs jokingly kept a lab coat and goggles and chides you for ânot tying your hair in the labâ.
đŹ Youâd tell him about how hard high school and college was for you, having to get a scholarship, going to British private schools because the medicine industry is mad competitive and honestly, you need to show something off in your application.
đŹ Youâd tell him how even though you did Cambridge IGCSE and A level courses all throughout high school, it was no match for what England had in store for you - panic attacks became a weekly thing.
đŹ I mean, you did Pure Math, Biology, Chemistry and Psychology A and AS levels for gods sake - its an absolute mindfuck.
đŹ Heâs always there to reassure her how smart she is and that sheâs human no matter what - that college is over, and the drug trials will end up great, and a bunch of kids will get some damn good medication.
đŹ He LOVES it when you come watch his shows and movies. It means the absolute world to him.
đŹ Soon, he kind of drifted away from theatre after Hamilton, and started in film, and would always get super excited whenever heâd get some remotely science-y role.
đŹ Like in In Treatment, heâd come to you for help for some advice on his role, on some deeper level analysis (not as deep as an actual therapist guys, just a psych student level) and youâd be squealing with pride when you see him on TV.
đŹ And when he got into the more Sci-Fi movies like Transformers, heâd tell you âitâs not that deep, baby.â whenever heâd catch your brows furrow in confusion at the misuse of a niche scientific term
đŹ Heâd be so happy when he landed Twisters, even though you werenât a meteorology student, your use of organic chemistry would def have some revelations when watching Kate use some form of polycarbonate.
đŹ âtheyâre right! they use silver iodide for cloud seeding!â youâd giggle.
đŹ affectionately calls you ânerdâ all the time.
â for anyone not british, igcse is from grades 9-10 and a levels are a bit like AP! but like they have a lot of depth. youâre not expected to do more than three.

Top Secret Fiction Ch. 6
The Confrontation
Katsuki Bakugou x Reader
Description: After meeting the one and only pro hero Dynamight on a dating app, you two begin to see each other. Because of the dangers that come with his hero work, you both promise to be completely honest with each other from the beginning; though you can't help but keep one big secret from him.
You write fan fiction, mostly about him.
Chapter Details: deku makes an appearance here heheh. bakugou lowkey might like fanfics? but only if they're about him. scary confrontation đ reader is a bit sad and confused :(
Word Count: 1.4k
previous chapter
As soon as Bakugou got home, he opened his computer and looked up 'Bakugou x Reader'. What came up was a ton of links to different websites, one of the top ones being HeroFiction.Com.
Clicking on it, he scrolled through the sight and found many other original stories about different pro heroes.
While doing this, he learned that this was called fan fiction, which he'd heard about before, but he never paid attention to it because he didn't care.
Keeping the website open, he leaned back and wondered, were you writing fan fiction about him? You must've been, based on your notes. Did you write for other pro heroes, or just him?
A small part of him hoped you only wrote for him.
He sighed and rubbed his hands down his face, trying to think about what the hell he was going to do about this. Clearly, this was something you didn't want to tell him, meaning you kept it a secret.
And he hates secrets, but for some reason, this didn't feel too bad. He was almost... flattered, in a way. He was also curious and he just wanted to know more. But how would he even bring this up to you?
Deciding he'd need help with understanding this website, he called someone he trusted.
"Hey Deku. You know what fan fiction is, right?"
Blushing, Izuku replied with "Why are you asking me that Kacchan?!"
"Because I know you used to write that shit back in high school!" He explained, "Just tell me what you know about this site called 'HeroFiction.com.'"
A lightbulb went off in Izuku's head, "Oh yeah I recognize that name! It's basically a website for pro hero fanfiction. I've seen a few good ones actually-"
"Yeah okay, thanks." Katsuki said, cutting off his friend.
It was time for him to do more of his own research, specifically on this website.
...
When you woke up the next morning, you found yourself in your bed wondering how you got there.
Did I fall asleep? You wondered.
You cringed at the thought of Bakugou seeing you asleep and hoped you didn't do anything embarrassing.
Rubbing your eyes, you grabbed your phone from the nightstand and saw a text from Bakugou letting you know he had left after putting you in your bed.
You smiled at his thoughtfulness and texted him back a thank you, and an apology for falling asleep while he was over.
After tossing your phone down onto the bed next to you, you stretched and blinked away any leftover sleep.
As you were stretching your legs you felt your foot hit something softly. Wondering what it was, you sat up and looked at the foot of your bed, eyes widening when you realized it was your notebook.
But this wasn't just any notebook- this one had all of your notes for fics you were planning on writing.
You thought about how Bakugou brought you into your bedroom, and your heart sank to your stomach when you realized he probably saw your notebook.
"Noooo!" You cried and placed your hands over your eyes. "Kill me now..."
You prayed to any higher power out there that he didn't read anything.
...
Your prayers clearly didn't reach anyone because a few hours after waking up, you got a text from Bakugou that said, "Can we talk? ASAP."
Biting your nail nervously, you texted back "Sure" and asked when and where he'd want to meet up.
Quickly texting back, he told you he'd meet you at a cafe near your neighborhood in a few hours.
A little while later as you got ready to meet up with him you felt like you were going to cough up your stomach and die from your nerves.
You didn't want to accept it, but deep down you knew he figured out your secret. It was already terrifying trying to keep what you did in your free time a secret, but now that the person you wrote about knew, was even more terrifying!
It seemed as though your frantic thoughts made time go by even faster than usual, and it was now time for you to leave so you could make it to the cafe on time.
Taking a deep breath and patting your face, you stepped out of your apartment and began to head to the cafe.
...
As Bakugou sat at the cafe in the outdoor dining area, he tapped his foot anxiously as he awaited your arrival.
After his phone call with Deku and doing his own research (which just consisted of reading other fan fictions he came across), he came to the conclusion that he would accept this hobby of yours, if you were honest about it when he confronted you.
Since he had browsed the website a bit, he came across some stories that were actually decent (but also others that were very, very questionable and he really hoped you didn't write anything like that. ESPECIALLY not a story with him and that damn Deku).
He'd never admit it, but it boosted his ego a bit to know that you wrote about him, and he definitely wanted to read some of your stuff. He wanted to know if it was as good as some of the other ones he has read.
Suddenly, he saw your figure walking towards him and he was snapped out of his thoughts. He sat up straighter and placed his elbows against the table, leaning forward.
You sat down across from him silently with a shy look on your face. "So..." You said softly, "You wanted to talk?"
He cleared his throat, "Yeah. I'll just get to the point..." He said, before hesitating to say, "That night I was at your place, I saw your notebook-"
You grimaced, knowing exactly what he was talking about, and placed your hands over your face in embarrassment. "I'm sorry." You said.
Letting out a deep breath, you uncovered your face and continued to speak while looking down at your lap. "I knew this would come up eventually, I just didn't think it'd be so soon..."
Bakugou scoffed, "So when were you gonna tell me? Never?"
You frowned at his tone, "No! It's just not an easy topic to talk about Bakugou. It's embarrassing and I wasn't just going to say 'Hey Bakugou, did you know I've been writing fan fiction about you for three years?'"
He blinked. He could understand where you were coming from. In fact, he'd probably be more weirded out if you had told him that easily. But, even though you were honest now, it still doesn't shake his uneasiness about you keeping a secret from him.
Sure, it wasn't a huge, life threatening secret, but it was still something you kept from him. He liked honesty, especially in a relationship and it's something he valued heavily. A part of him felt like he should've known about this sooner, since it was about him for gods sake!
He sighed. "Before you go assuming things, I'm not mad at ya, okay?" He said, "I just... I think I need time to think about this alright? A few days at most."
You furrowed your eyebrows subconsciously, making your eyes look big and puppy like. Well damn, how was he supposed to stay away from you when you gave him that look?
"Okay." You spoke sadly, "I understand. I shouldn't have kept that from you, so again, I'm sorry."
He shook his head. "'S fine."
You rubbed your sweaty palms on your legs and stood up. "I'll give you time now, alright? Just, call or text me whenever you're ready." You said and gave him a small wave before walking back in the direction you came from.
As you made your way back, you thought about your talk with Bakugou.
If you wanted to keep seeing him, maybe you would have to stop writing. You were starting to really like Bakugou, and you didn't want a silly hobby to get in the way of a potentially serious relationship with him.
You felt your eyes tear up. It was hard to think about giving up writing. You had made friends through your writing, your own little community online. It was great! But realistically, could you keep this up forever?
That same night, you posted on your page.
Hi everyone. I've decided to take a break from writing for a while. I'm not sure how long it will be, but I will still leave everything here for you to read.
Thank you, xo.

Regarding The Observer (TO), I keep going back and forth about whether Louis is involved. Many of the posts are so Larry coded and in your face about L&Hâs connections, so I wouldnât think that L would risk it.
Then i started thinking more about it. There are only about 6K followers of TO on X and many of them are talking about how itâs someone playing with the fandom. Unless you are following this closely, you wouldnât believe or understand the connections that TO is making. L could come right out and say that he and H are a couple with these clues and 99% of the public either wouldnât care or wouldnât believe it.
I will admit that when I first started looking into SBB and BBG, I thought the fandom was crazy. But when I really researched everything, I came to the conclusion that there is something to it all. Most of L and Hâs fans wonât bother doing a deep dive. Theyâll quickly glance at the posts from TO and come to the conclusion that itâs a scammer.
It could be a fan just playing with us all but I also think that Louis knows he can get away with posting a lot for the fandom without other people catching on.
Hey anon! I'm going to use your message to get some stuff out, so I hope you don't mind that this kind of flip flops and sommersaults from your main point.
I think its pretty much a right of passage to go from "nah these people are mad" to "okay maybe there is something here but not all that" to "yikes, they weren't off their rocker this stuff is pretty solid" as long as you keep researching.
Just like everything else in this, nothing is ever obvious. By definition it can't be. They did that when they were younger (my first real crush was louis tomlinson, it's confidential but we're already engaged, are you and louis dating? nods) and seemed to have paid dearly for it. They aren't that naive now. They know how to play the game.
These men are masterminds. They know how narratives work because they had to learn them from the inside out. They know that no matter how loud they get, there will always be people who pretend to be deaf.
Yesterday, a large number of people took a song Louis posted about loving someone for a long time despite all of the other changes in your life (on the three year anniversary of a song his ex-band member released about loving someone through all the other changes in your life) and made it about a girl he's known less than a month. If that isn't a prime example of people creating the narrative for him, I don't know what is.
I want to make it pretty clear that I don't think TO is necessarily L or H.
I don't even think it's someone with insider information necessarily. But I do think that L knows about it.
I don't take a coincidence like the guitar yesterday lightly.
I'm still operating, and will continue to operate, from the mindest that this is a fan as I follow along the journey. And if it gets toxic, I'll make sure that I share that information everywhere just like I am sharing the journey/connections/observations now.
But yes, I think the boys know they can be pretty loud and still get away with it now. Because antis and solos (not hating just putting a name to it) will do the rest of the work for them by twisting the narrative however they need to in order to make it fit their public perceptions of them.
I think that we sometimes are so deep in the fandom that its hard for us to see the perspective of the general population. Back in 1D the general population already assumed Louis (and most of them actually) was queer. Now, every "normal person" I talk to thinks Harry is queer. And as you said, even if I TRIED to explain TO to someone outside the fandom, they'd look at me like I grew a second head. 99% of people do not care about this.
I doubt it is a blip on the radar of anyone who hasn't been following these men closely already.

2nd: Gingerbread House ༻¨ : ¡.. ・ââ*・
Remus Lupin x reader CW: flustered Remus Lupin, kissing (?)
Remus always thought himself quite talented at charms. Well, maybe not talented like Sirius but he always made sure to balance that out with his excessive research and careful execution.
He always excelled at simple and more complicated charms in and out of the classroom, which caused him to assume some simple swings of his wand would make your and his baking date a bit more exciting for you.
And maybe he got a bit too cocky, trying to impress you, even when he knew very well that you did not need him to. Still, itâs your first date and he had been assured by his mates that he should put in some effort.
He had it all planned out.
Lumos Vitrum for softly glowing windows.
Fumos Dolcis for sugar like smoke coming from the chimney.
Scintillae Dulcia for sparkling and shimmering candy decorations.
Ambulocibus Dulcis to make the gingerbread man do a little dance with his gingerbread-wife.
And lastly, Nixus Placida for a gentle snowfall of powdered sugar.
All very easy but impressive charms. Remus would usually be able to perform them perfectly at 3am, high on 3 cups of coffees and sleep deprived.
He felt like James, fumbling any easy task in front of Regulus, as he tried to give the house some extra magical charm.
The structure of the house was finished already and you were looking at him all smiley and excited, pressing your lips to his every few minutes.
Your first kiss had been a few days prior but the prickly, excited feeling in his stomach had faded no more, now.
The glow in your bright eyes had reminded him of the first charm. He took out his charm with your soft eyes locked onto him and thighs pressed close to his.
Right before he was about to start the movement with his wand you pressed a long kiss on his upper cheek, right on his deepest scar. Your lips were warm and soft, loving as they pressed onto his skin.
The heat that took to his face will not be mentioned.
He blinked hard before focusing back onto the house. âLumos Vitrum,â he whispered, his voice cracking the tiniest bit at the last second.
The windows started shining softly and your light gasp brought a smile to his face. He looked at you to drink in your lovely reaction, not realizing that the windows were flickering a bit every time his heartbeat heightened slightly from looking at you.
Thatâs really where it started getting out of order.
You were being so incredibly sweet, kissing him long and gentle. âThis is so sweet, Remmy.â you muttered, the words lost in the kiss.
âItâs not a complicated charm,â Remus explained, still slightly panting from the kiss.
âStill, itâs cute.â
Another kiss.
At that point he just had to continue, wanting to bring that light of excitement to your eyes again.
Except, the sugar smoke ended up more like big cotton candy clouds looming over you two.
But, they made you laugh and you leaned closer to him. So really, it was a success.
Then, the candy started actually throwing sparks at you and the little gingerbread man simply stood up and walked away while his now ex-wife started destroying the house.
âGod, theyâre divorced.â you laughed, bumping his shoulder as he looked at the mess in shock. What did he do wrong?
You look at him with a humorous glint in your eyes. âLetâs hope thatâs not a bad omen for our relationship.â
"Well, I suppose we can rule out a career in magical pastry arts for me," he muttered, waving his wand to tame the rogue gingerbread man, which had stubbornly marched in circles like it had somewhere very important to be.Â
"Maybe they just have a dramatic flair for storytelling. Every great gingerbread house needs a subplot, right?"
You burst out laughing at that, Remusâ slight embarrassment and dry tone sending you over the edge.
He couldnât help but smile, the sound of your laughter cutting through his flustered state.
You giggled as you calmed down, looking at him again. âWho doesnât love a good subplot?â
Another kiss.
Thank you all for supporting my blog!! As always, I appreciate all comments and reblogs. It's what keeps me going.
