#I have no idea if the fact that she sings it as players instead of playas has any impact at all

One afternoon, when Louis and Dayton were hanging out together in Louis's room, they could barely focus on their games, with the ruckus happening in the room next door. Curious about what was happening, the two of them sneaked down the hallway, where they found the girls' door wide open.
Inside, there was a chest surrounded by all kinds of clothing items, with the girls stood next to it. They were wearing funny hats and dresses to make them look like princesses, and had even attempted putting on their mother's makeup for a more convincing look. However, there was not playing going on. Instead, Ruby and Dorothy were arguing about which of them would be the princess in their game, as apparently there was only room for one. Of course, it could not be a proper fairy tale without the evil stepsister.
Dorothy insisted that she would get to be the princess, since she was the first to say so, but Ruby hated the idea of even just pretending to be evil. Louis knew it was time for him to step in as a big brother and figure out a way to diffuse the argument. Otherwise, they would never actually end up playing their game. He looked around the room, until his eyes rested on the costume chest.
There were more than enough costumes and accessories for all of them to dress up, which meant that the girls could easily both be a princess in this case. Louis would just have to be the stepsister in this case, the answer seemed pretty obvious to him.
The twins jumped excitedly at the idea that they would get to dress up their brother, and the two girls got to work on it quickly. Soon, Louis was sat on the chest in a barely fitting baby blue dress and a matching bonnet, while Dorothy painted his face with lots and lots of makeup. He actually did not mind it, in fact, he almost felt pretty, although he knew his sister was not the most skilled at what she was doing.
Even Dayton, who had simply thrown on a scarf as a makeshift cape and a paper crown, had to admit that the outcome was quite convincing. Had he not known any better, he could have thought Louis was a lost third McGregor sister. Speaking of whom, Dayton put on his smoothest prince voice to flatter the twin girls as best as he could. If he was going to be their prince, he was going to try his best at it, too.
With no music player in the room, the four children made up their own ballroom songs, as they danced around laughing. Dayton even took upon the role of announcing the next dance that would be coming up each time, while the other three came up with songs matching the increasingly absurd themes.
They kept playing for a while, until all of them were too tired to continue, and Dayton had to go home. All arguments were soon forgotten about, but it sure was a princess ball to remember.
[TRANSCRIPT]
Dorothy: "No, we can't both be the princess!"
Dayton: "Sounds like they're in a bit of a pickle, eh?"
Louis: "Let's see what's going on!"
Dorothy: "One of us has to be the evil stepsister!"
Ruby: "But I don't want to be evil, Dottie."
Dorothy: "Well, I chose first!"
*Louis clears throat*
Louis: "Hey, girls! What's the issue?"
Dorothy: "We're playing fairy tale princess ball. But stupid Ruby doesn't wanna be the evil stepsister!"
Dayton: "What's with the bear?"
Dorothy: "Why, that's the beautiful prince, of course!"
Dayton: "Naturally."
Louis: "Hmmm... Maybe I have an idea how we can fix this."
...
Louis: "Are you finished?"
Dorothy: "Hush, art cannot be rushed."
Dorothy: "Aaaand... done!"
Louis: "So? How do I look?"
Dorothy: "You look lovely!"
Dayton: "More like you're ready to meet the wonderful wizard of Oz!"
Louis: "Is it bad?"
Dayton: "I don't know. Dorothy's pretty, too, no? You could make a pretty girl. You know, if your dress actually fit."
Louis: "Oh, thank you, your maaaajesty!"
Dayton: *flutters eyelashes* "Of course, not as pretty as the beautiful princesses I'm meant to meet tonight at the royal ball!"
Ruby & Dorothy: *giggling*
...
*singing incoherently*

if ur requests are open…virgin Kazuha with a player m!reader.
Reader made a bet with Beidou about how long it’ll take to get to fuck Kazuha since he’s one of the people on the Crux that the reader hasn’t fucked and Kazuha overhears.
He knows he shouldn’t give in, but he’s wanted the reader for so long so they end up fucking (and confessing feelings because I’m a romantic😭).
tip [m.reader]
actual title: [just the] tip, LMAO. I AM BACK FROM THE DEAD AND I’M BRINGING THREE SMUTS WITH ME. anyway. i think we all know when i say soon, it means 2 weeks later. fuck. i’m so sorry yall i do not know how to squeeze my brain for creativity. so the past two weeks, i’m just working out and gaming and illustrating. also i was halfway through the smut when i got the request for the player reader aND THATS WHEN IMAGINATION STRUCK. so anyway have this adorable samurai, tysm baby for letting me win your 50/50 again ilysm mwah.
𖦹 gentle sex, romantic stuff, they say ily in the end (and i am jealous), it’s been weeks since my last smut so bear with me, an attempt at an oral, fingering, penetration, lots of reassurances, top male reader
It all started with a simple bet between you and Beidou. She was the same captain that challenged you many times in drinking contests, after all (most of which, you’ve lost to her). And while you cannot exactly handle all of your alcohol like she can’t, no one could say the same when it comes to your visceral need to possibly get every living being on the bed with you.
It was a running joke between the entire crew. With your utterly promiscuous nature, you’ve managed to bed every bachelor and bachelorette on the Alcor. It was an amazing feat and an occurrence that happened so much, people would casually compare your performance with each other. Granted, it was embarrassing, but such is the price of being so… whorish.
Not a single soul was saved, even the sweet housekeeper from Mondstadt and his superior that were traveling to the nation of freedom to strike a deal with an elusive winery owner weren’t saved from your promiscuity. Beidou was already hurting from the sides from all the laughing she’s done once she realizes the fleeting glances between the two of them towards you were no mere coincidences.
But maybe not a single soul being saved was… an overstatement.
All of them weren’t safe except for one — the elusive ronin that frequently traveled with Beidou’s crew; Kaedehara Kazuha himself. For some reason, he was the one person that you couldn’t bed, and unfortunately for you, Beidou noticed. She noticed how your flirtatious flair would tone down, turning you into the most unassuming version of yourself that any of the Alcor has ever seen whenever you would entertain Kazuha up in the crow’s nest, a gentle smile on your lips instead of that knowing smirk that could leave anyone writhing.
Beidou already had an idea by then, but she decided to aid you in getting things moving as she made one bet to you.
“If you can get our romantic poet in bed with you, I will retract all drinking contests in the future.”
Your terms were flimsy and shallow. But you figured your liver would greatly appreciate the deal. And if you won, you only said that the captain would have to admit that, although untrue, you have, at some point, beaten her in one contest.
Had you only known what your dear little ronin has in store for you.
Kazuha, admittedly, is an absolute romantic. The verses in his poetry could not make that mere fact any clearer. His mind and heart can coordinate and weave the sweetest words lodged in limited verses that sing the sweetest praises to the unknown.
And often you were the victim of it. Kazuha was well aware of how subdued you seem around him, suddenly discarding the playboy persona that you were known around for, your very reputation that despite the efforts that Kazuha made in order to evade it, it still somehow managed to take the longest detour right to his heart.
You were a magnet that had limitless attraction Kazuha was just a drop in a sea of particles that continued to gravitate to you, despite his constant rumination that you were never going to be a constant in his life. He lives to seek every corner of the world while you discovered the uncharted parts of someone else’s bare skin in your endeavors.
How ironic was it that in his inconsistent lifestyle, he was terrified of having you — someone who is just as much of constant as his stays on places while he wandered through all nations.
But the tiny voice at the back of his head were screaming, pleading for a chance to even experience the atmosphere with you when wrapped in the haze of lust and sex.
It was probably why the moment he overheard your tiny wager with Beidou, the restraints that he kept on his poor longing heart suddenly loosened. And it was probably why the moment you amped up your flirtatious tendencies, Kazuha was suddenly breathless.
To experience of being the end of your smooth words was something Kazuha can only describe as what it feels like to get a taste of his own medicine. Suddenly, you were more forward, you didn’t wait for him to ask you and gaze at the skies with him on the crow’s nest. Everywhere he was, you were suddenly around, like a persistent python that coiled around him until he could no longer breathe — and he loved it.
Maybe it’s why your advances were easily reciprocated by him. Maybe it’s why all of a sudden, he wanted your hand to linger under his chin. Maybe it’s why, out of all his resistance to your charm, it all comes crashing down into a futile effort.
And maybe it’s also exactly why his heart hammered with persistence against his ribcage despite the ache in his knees as he knelt and did his best to suck you off with little to no experience under his belt.
You sat on the edge of the bed, eyes downcast to meet Kazuha’s teary eyes. He was already ruined just from this, mouth barely able to take in more of you. But you were a persistent teacher, and he was an eager student.
A smirked played upon your pretty lips, hand gliding over to Kazuha’s soft cheek before pinching it, stretching his mouth just a little bit more as you slowly pushed your hips, watching your cock make it barely even halfway through Kazuha’s mouth.
You were used to the experienced men that could take you in skillfully even with your size, but the inexperience was somewhat of a breath of fresh air — if not, utterly adorable. The way his tongue refused to stay flat while your cock pushed in, his teeth grazing against your sensitive head ever so slightly, and archons, those lovely tears that glistened through his wet eyelashes as the honorable ronin looked up at you for any form of approval.
“You’ve no idea how incredibly delectable you look right now, love.” Your smooth voice filled his ears and he hummed, pleased from the praise, leaving you hissing as the vibrations from his mouth enveloped your cock.
“Think you can manage a few more inches?” You asked with a curious grin.
Kazuha doesn’t think so, but the innate need to please you and seek your praise was something he quickly found out the moment you stripped him of his robes and adored his body with your sweet words. He nodded, a little unconvincing, a little reluctant, and a little nervous.
You guided his hands that rested on your thighs to grip the base of your length, “For better leverage,” you said, though quite true, it was equally just an excuse to feel his cute little hands around you.
The ronin nodded once more before pushing further, dipping his head until he can take more of you. His cheeks burned and the moment the tip of your head hits the back of his throat, Kazuha immediately pulls back, coughing. You ran your hand through his hair, flashing him a reassuring smile.
“Too much?”
Kazuha’s lips were wet from his own saliva. He opened his eyes to see a tiny sinful string of saliva that connected his lips to your cockhead. He looked up at you with so much determination, almost eager to try again, and while it was immensely adorable, you decided to take pity on Kazuha as you pulled him up to your lap.
“I-I can do more…”
“And we’ll work on that next time,” you said with the same soft reassurance that he has heard from you every time you and Kazuha would engage in a conversation. But it wasn’t what made his heart jump — it was the fact that you opened up the possibility of a next time for him. A possibility that this isn’t a one time thing as he feared.
Before he could even process anything else, his back hits the soft mattress beneath him. It should have been intimidating, but to see tower over him with such a huge figure, Kazuha could only feel the unbridled warmth that radiated from you. He waited with bated breath as you looked down on him, a smile so inviting that it doesn’t even remotely feel like he was participating in a bet, that you were making love to him so tenderly instead.
“Think it’s time for me to finally take care of you, hm?” Your soft croon reached his ears and he could only nod, meek yet still so bloody excited for what happens next.
He could feel his breath get caught in his throat the moment your hands easily opened his legs, and he willfully complied despite how his thighs quivered under your grasp. He watched seat yourself in between his legs, watching you open up that one familiar package of lubricant. You squeezed a generous amount on your fingers before turning to him.
“Try to relax, yeah?”
“M-Mhm…”
Kazuha doesn’t question the way his back immediately arched up as his body responded to your fingers that slowly penetrated him. He could feel the coldness and he shivered, squirming at the tight fit. He could feel it all too much. His hand immediately shot up to latch onto your strong shoulders while he let out a strangled gasp.
Your little samurai was all too enticing, “My~ what a mess I’ve made you, and just from my fingers alone too…” You laughed and Kazuha can only whimper closing his eyes shut to avoid any further embarrassment, though it was clearly futile by then.
Your slowly pumped your fingers, feeling out Kazuha’s gummy walls. He clenched on your fingers with every movement, leaving him writhing against the sheets. It was a sensation that he was all too new in experiencing. His soft gasps and quiet whines echoed through the walls of the remote inn that you graciously paid for under the guise of taking shelter with your travel companion.
Kazuha cried out your name so sweetly, and it was as if the heavens are calling you.
“[Name]… m-more…” he pleaded with a tiny voice, barely managing while your fingers continued to penetrate through his walls that continued to pulsate around your digits. You indulged in every moan that spilled from his lips as you pumped your fingers even more.
You licked your lips, eyeing the samurai in bliss so hungrily. He was ethereal even when he’s a complete mess with sweat cascading through his soft skin and his hair completely tousled as he continued to squirm from your ministrations alone. You drank the very sight of him and you couldn’t wait to take him then and there.
A choked gasp suddenly weaseled out of him as your fingers finally grazed his prostate.
“H-Hah—!” You watched in fascination as your endeared ronin came just from that alone. Cum dripped down from his cock, making a tiny pool on his abdomen. Kazuha was breathless, his body quivering in inconsistent intervals as he reached his high all too early. He looked at you, just as surprised as you are.
“O-Oh… D-Did I—? Already?” Kazuha’s embarrassment was unparalleled, but you were quick to quell that as you leaned in, showering his heaving chest the most chaste kisses, filled with so much care and love that were absent from your times with others. No amount of sweetness could amount to your shallow ones when it wasn’t Kazuha.
“You treat it like it’s a problem,” you chuckled and Kazuha’s face flushed at your playful chastising. Of course it must be a problem. One too many he’s heard about people lasting in bed a better feat when it comes to sex. But you were quick to refute the little beliefs he had. “It only means I’m making you feel good, no?”
Kazuha nodded, speechless for once at such a gentle treatment. He’s heard from the accounts of others just how rough you can be, some men even having to complain about it to you openly, while you only gave a tiny apology before slithering away. But this, even Kazuha wasn’t too certain if this was something new for you or if you thought that he was too fragile to handle you. He griped to himself at the thought and he quickly grabbed onto your wrist.
“I-I’m ready,” he muttered, giving you the full green light.
You have half a mind to question him for a second time, but his look of determination and your own cock that only throbbed painfully against your abdomen was enough to persuade you.
Kazuha could only look on, his eyes widening when his struggles earlier to take you in just with his own mouth came back to bite him in the ass. He looked up, a little frantic as the anxiety only flooded through him — he could barely suck you off without suffocating, how could he take you in so easily.
You only leaned to kiss at the shell of his ear, as gentle as you can, “Don’t worry, we’ll stop if you can’t.”
His arms were quick to hook around your neck, looking down and quivering a little as he felt the way your cockhead brushed against the rim of his entrance, prodding at him with so much temptation. “But… I don’t want it to stop…” he mumbled, only making you laugh at such a sweet sentiment.
“One at a time, mkay? It’s your first time,” You whispered as you slowly lined up, your shaft already prodding at Kazuha’s lubed up hole. “Ready?”
Taking a deep breath, Kazuha only nodded, surrendering control to you to take care of him.
It wasn’t a mistake to be so near him as your ears indulged in Kazuha’s sweetest cries as you slowly eased yourself in. You didn’t bother going all the way as you felt him clench around you even with just a few inches in. It was adorable, remotely endearing as you continued a couple more inches.
“W-Wait,” he was quick to plead, and you stopped, listening intently to his whims.
“Why don’t we practice with just this much, hm?” It wasn’t even a surprise as Kazuha quickly agreed, eager to follow you. He succumbed into the submission of being under your control, to let you do as you please to him and you relished in that very permission to take in every bit of him even the slowest ways.
You drew out some quiet sobs from poor Kazuha as your hips drew back, only to stop just before you could pull out. Your sensitive head alone could even feel the slightest bumps within his walls and it was absolutely divine.
Kazuha hiccuped through his tears despite your shallow, languid thrusts — barely even fully inside and yet he’s already so spent. You could feel every gasp getting pulled out from his system with how his cock seemed to brush against your abdomen with every movement.
“Feels good?” You asked and he only nodded — quite frankly it was a miracle that Kazuha could even still make of what you can say.
“D-Deeper, [Name],” Kazuha begged, coming out in a tiny mewl that you couldn’t seem to refuse.
You followed through his demand, letting in a couple more inches inside and he was squealing so wantonly. The way his walls clenched onto your length, he could feel every sinful throb within his tight warm walls and he couldn’t help but squirm, inching away from your cock when you held him down.
“You can do it, you’re a good boy, yes?” You smiled, your thrusts slowly growing deeper and deeper until it left him writhing underneath you. You could feel the delectable scratch on your broad back as he clutched onto you for dear life.
“M-Mhm… a good boy,” he parroted, his mind numbing with each thrust, his hips slowly meeting your movement as the fervent need to feel you grew inside him.
You were just as easily losing it as your hips moved in a steady pace. Never had you even been this gentle on someone even — but somehow Kazuha brought it out of you. Your soft grunts melded with his delectable moans as you moved your head, lips just a hair distance away from him.
And then it spills from your lips;
“Fuck… I love you so much…”
Kazuha’s eyes snapped open and you immediately stopped your movements, your cock still inches deep inside your little ronin.
A wave of clarity washed over Kazuha as the realization hit you both.
“You mean it?” He asked, love in his eyes with so much anticipation.
You only laughed as you leaned in, “Couldn’t get anymore obvious with that,” you quipped, all too amused as the blush overtook Kazuha’s face down to his neck. A little taken aback, but he only smiled, bringing you in close for a sweet kiss.
“Well, I share the sentiment.” Kazuha mumbled, his breath ghosting over your lips as a lovestruck expression completely took hold of his pretty face.
“Would it kill you to say it back?”
“I love you too.”
You only showed your satisfaction with your lips on his, your fingers digging into the soft flesh of his waist as you lifted him up. A needy whimper was pulled out of Kazuha’s throat as you thrusted one more time, a mischievous and eager smile grazing your face.
You were going to show Kazuha so much more.
And lucky for you, you’ve got the whole night to express that love to each other.

My Thad Headcanons
Because I'm so totally autism about him, you have no IDEA
.
.
.
I took this from a fic I read, but Thad runs warm. By this I mean his cooling system likes to malfunction every now and then and he has to throw himself into a bunch of icepacks until it works again. If he overheats, he’ll shut down so it systems can cool down much like a phone would
He's self conscious about his sharp canines, but not in the sense that he’s constantly thinking about it. It’s more like a “if i look at myself in the mirror and see my smile, I’m going to remember they’re there and be like ‘oh. that’s not right.’” Because of his insecurity with his sharp teeth, he refuses to go to the dentist
The fact Uzi had a crush on him before meeting N absolutely flew over his head (he’s stupid)
He likes girls AND boys
Ever since the fight with J and V in the pilot, he coughs up oil on occasion. Basically; Worker Drones are stupid and don’t know anything about their own anatomy, so instead of trying to fix the internal damage, they just welded his wounds closed, so now he’s just perpetually internally bleeding
He heals pretty quickly and has a high pain tolerance (entirely because he’s a sports player, and also he heals quick because of the fact he runs warm)
Sometimes he’ll get nightmares about the attack with V and J and also when Solver yonk’d his ass in episode 2. These fucked him up for a little while after and he couldn’t sleep very well, but they’re not as big of a problem anymore
His room is usually surprisingly neat and full of trophies and medals and other various sports memorabilia
Gets really competitive during football matches, but has really good sportsmanship <3 like he’ll be screaming shit during the match and then he’ll lose and to the other team he’s like “good job guys you absolutely rocked it out there, but we’ll beat you next time i’m sure of it >:)” he likes a lil friendly competition
Thad and Lizzy are twins but he’s younger than her by like 2 minutes. She teases him for this. In retaliation, he teases her because he’s taller (by 1 inch)
Sometimes they get in trouble for ‘bullying” each other, but every time they do, Lizzy just says “Siblings are fair game!” and Thad nods
I think he says “no problemo” a lot. He also says other silly phrases like "Okie Dokie Artichokie" and calling things "Rad" and ironically saying" tubular." Lizzy says "This isn't the 80's" and then he responds with "Well the 80s were sick as heck dude so I don't care"
He's a morning person
Listens to highly energetic songs without paying attention to the lyrics, so he’ll listen to the most like. Innapropriate songs without even realizing it just because they’re bops
Gets dating advice from Ron (the drone at the door from episode 2 for those who forget the bg characters)
Yk how people will throw food like popcorn into the air and then catch it in their mouths? yeah he’s really good at that
Sometimes when he can’t sleep he goes out and plays basketball by himself. tires him out so he can eep
Has a nice singing voice, but he doesn’t think he does (i’m projecting)
He doesn’t like to swear, but sometimes jokingly says “I will swear word at you” to his friends
If he’s holding something, he’ll start idly just flip it in the air and catch it over and over. subconsciously too, he just does that
He also plays Soccer and Basketball
Sometimes when someone grabs him unexpectedly, he’ll flinch a little (thanks solver). This usually only happens if he’s been spacing out or doesn’t see the person who grabbed him at first
Chill until someone messes with Lizzy. Then he will fight. Though she’s one of the popular girls so it doesn’t happen often
Weak to flirting; he gets flustered easily. Yet he’s a total flirt when he likes someone and is comfortable enough around them
I like to think Thad gets hurt a lot because he’s a fucking football player and usually he doesn’t get it fixed because it’s normal, but Lizzy and/or Uzi will yell at him to get it fixed because it could fuck with the strength of his casing
One time Thad said “Bite me” to Uzi and she just looked at him like a smug cat while he had a moment
Sometimes he’ll try to hide in his collar when he’s flustered (it never works)
He, Lizzy, and Doll were a trio of best friends (Until Doll's Solver infection started getting really bad and began distancing herself from the other two)

Liveblog: Wakfu Season 2 (episodes 13-16)
Episode 13 - The Night of the Thirsters
Proof Amalia and Joris are not close friends number 829342345: if she knew the alcohol he drinks and what he considers "a clean environment to live in" she'd get scared.
WoT twitter would kill Amalia.
I know it's more likely that both alcoholic and non-alcoholic bamboo milk exists, but the thought of everyone being a-ok with Yugo underage drinking makes me giggle for some reason. Ruel would fucking do that.
Are your villains 1. indestructible, 2. want to consume something that could theoretically fix them, 3. in the process, inflict a fate worse than death upon their victim, who 4. becomes one of them?
...Necromes were a missed opportunity. Shoulda called them Wakfu Thirsters instead.
Episode 14 - The Voice Thief
It's always sad to see the way the world has been devastated by Ogrest's Chaos.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...This says:
Her singing is so cute!
She is now fully bamboo milk-pilled. GOOD.
New Krosmoz music lore: We already know that vinyls and their players exist, as well as the fact that rock music exists (due to the fact that The Blues of a Hypermage (parody of the IRL song The Blues of a Buisinessman) exists).
Now we have the confirmation that metal bands are real.
Also, electric guitars are also real.
Mics are also real. (I am totally not noting all of this down because I want to write a "Joris, Kerubim, and Atcham go to karaoke" scene in one of my fics in the future, nuh-uh...)
Hummina hummina hummina bazooooooooing! eyes pop out AROOOOOOOOGA! jaw drops tongue rolls out WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF.
It's very rare to see, within the show, characters who differ from their usual class skin and hair colours, which is a shame. (I am 99% sure this is an iop due to his clothes and his hair pointing upwards)
Text behind Eva: rien ne sert de payer il faut en fuir / there is no point in paying, you have to run away
Text behind Amalia is too shielded to transcribe fully.
This is written in Brakmarian. It says:
This means that, metal music is stereotypically a Brakmarian form of music (big news: spoon found in kitchen)
I usually don't point this sort of stuff out but, man, this tavern is really well off. Not only is there a lot of food, there are also huge hot baths...
Also, once again, canalization and running water are real in this setting.
I choose to believe that this bubble thing is the Krosmoz equivalent of vaping because it's funny.
[blushing] Would!
Jpop is real in this setting, and someday, I will be able to prove to you, that Joris is a fan of it, using some proof besides "well ecaflips are kind of japanese-coded sometimes" and "it just makes sense."
Good rooms in taverns like these not only have hot baths but also fruit, candles, and drinks... [starts writing down "Joris, Kerubim and Atcham go to an expensive tavern and start talking about some convoluted topic, with vivid descriptions of delicious fruit-eating, how good the wine is, and how soft the bubbles in the bath are" in my fic self-indulgent scene ideas document. I can live my vacation fantasies vicariously through those three men]
Of course metal music from Brakmar is about the fact that the apocalypse caused inflation and that it's Good.
This says:
ourse
olle
m al
venu
Episode 15 - Wabbit Island
Hhh she is a very good artist.
[guy who is insane voice] This means that if I ever want to use the expression "canary in a coalmine" in a fic it'll be "tofu in a coalmine" instead.
The word Sayonara exists in Krosmoz which implies that some sort of fantasy Japanese is real. Big win.
Episode 16 - The Cursed Fountain
:(
While I usually talk a lot about character parallels between Yugo and Joris (these men who had to grow up far too fast will someday commit acts which no human being can be forgiven for in the name of goodness—-) there is a lot to be said about parallels betwen Eva and Joris.
They're both artistic, kind people who try to appear logic-driven (and sadly, they are both basically the wranglers/babysitters of their entire adventuring groups).

Part 2 of the DR1 Demix Series! Here we have:
Hifumi as the Ultimate Pop Sensation
Celestia as the Ultimate Baseball Star
Saku(ra) as the Ultimate Programmer
Chihiro as the Ultimate Fighter
Touko as the Ultimate Fanfic Artist
and Yasuhiro as the Ultimate Gambler
As always, some design insights below the cut.
Celestia: Unlike Leon, Celes loves being the ultimate baseball player. She loves the fame, the attention, and the fact it makes her feel special, and far from the boring life she grew up in. She wants to start life over after hope's peak not as Taeko Yasuhiro, but as Celestia Ludenberg.
Hifumi: Hifumi is a body-positive pop sensation who got his position because he submitted a recording of himself singing a song he wrote as a dare to a radio station, aftwards his career started after a kind agent saw the potential in the big boy. Enough for a career.
Touko: Toko I imagine is not very hard to put in the role of fanfic author, in this au she never goes full psycho because she was picked up by a gaggle of anime nerd women her first school so while she lives a shitty life in her parents place she has at least had people to hang out with and bond to. So instead of a psycho, she's just her unpleasant self + anime gatekeeping.
Yasuhiro: If you had a 33% chance guarantee of winning every bet you place at a casino you should always be gambling. Even if you're not that good and a huge moron, a 1 in 3 chance of winning every bet is crazy and that's what Yasuhiro managed to be born with, a 33% chance to win any bet or call he makes, making him stupid rich... or at least he should be, if he wasn't an idiot and manage to still rack a huge debt up.

So I may have created a trolls AU based the show Julie and the phantoms (which I highly recommend you check out)
In this AU, instead of being a simple boy band like in the movie, they a literally a band, with JD on the lead guitar, Bruce on drums, Clay on the bass, Floyd on keys, and Branch is the second guitar in training. Poppy and Branch are still best friends, and are gonna become a couple eventually, but in the beginning, just friends.
So, without further adieu, let me introduce you, to Poppy and the Phantoms!
First up we have Poppy (Please don't mind the fact that she doesn't have tail in the drawing, I forgot to add it here but it will be present when I digitalize these)
Poppy is a University student still mourning the death of her mother, who is desperately trying to fix her inability to sing and play music since her mothers passing. She still loves music, but the grief is sadly stronger. When her dad brings up the thought of selling the house in favor of helping her, Viva and himself with moving on from her death, she goes to clean the garage, aka her moms old music studio. Where she finds an old CD, for a band called Brozone. When she puts it in the player and lets the first song play, three familiar ghosts pop out of nowhere.
(Things written on the paper, without my spelling mistakes and some minor stuff I didn't write down)
Lives in the house that John Dory and his new band would live and practice at
Discovers the phantoms when looking through her moms stuff in the garage
Figures out pretty quickly who they are, with Branch being her best boyfriend
They make a band to help the guys ascend and Poppy to mend her relationship with music
Lives with Viva and her dad
Next up, John Dory
Back when he was in his teens, he and his brothers made a band called Brozone, which, despite was pretty popular all things considered. However, when they were preparing for one of the biggest concerts of their live, they get into a fight about John Dory being too bossy and demanding of his younger siblings. After which, John Dory leaves the house and his family at the age of 17. In the span of his time alone, he makes a new band with some of his new friends. In a short span that they've been a band. John Dory wrote pretty much all of the songs that they sang, and though trial and error, they got an opportunity to play on a stage that has made a lot of underground artists mainstream. However, John never gets the chance to play on that stage, for her dies from a poisoning 30 mins before the show.
(Things written on the paper)
He and his brothers were in a band called Borzone, where he played the guitar
Until he, SpBruce and Clay quit, leaving Floyd and Branch alone (Well, they all lived with Grandma, you get what I mean)
Regrets it, deeply
Wrote all the Brozone songs, including songs for his new band
Also wrote "Unsaid Emily", which was originally named "Unsaid Family" as a tribute to his biggest mistake in life and an apology to his brothers, but renamed it.
Died right before his big performance on the same day and Bruce and Clay
Died at the age of 23
Bruce next
When his brother proposed the idea of making a band, he had his doubts, since they were all in school and had their own stuff to do, but then again, up until then, he and JD always did crazy things together, and band was by far the most tamest of his brothers ideas. And with everyone else on board he thought "fuck it, why not?". And it was fun for a while, until he noticed how controlling JD had become, always telling him to go practice instead of letting him hand out with friends, telling him to watch his shape, giving him a work out routine for that, Bruce had enough and finally stood up to his brother and claimed that he's quitting the band, to which Clay joined in on, and which prompted JD to leave all together. And soon after, he leaves the house at the age of 16. He rents a small house by the beach, works at the cafe near it, changes his name from Spruce to Bruce, and takes up surfing. Which also becomes his downfall on a particularly bad day, and he takes his surfboard out for a quick swim, gets swallowed by a wave, and never resurfaces.
(Things written on the paper)
Was the drummer in Brozone
Was the first one to declare he's leaving the band and feels like it's his fault for causing the butterfly effect of others quitting as well
Left to live by the beach as soon as he could
Wanted to reach out to his brothers, but only ever sent a single post card to each
Died in a surfing accident on the same day as John Dory and Clay
Died at the age of 22
Cried when they all realized that they're dead
Last but not least (for now), Clay
Clay was, surprisingly, very on board with JDs idea about the band, despite being the nerd and bookworm of the family. He just wanted to spend more time with his brothers and have fun. That quickly changed when John completely stopped paying attention to Clays interests, hobbies and dreams. And especially with the forced title of "The fun one". He finally snapped when John kept trying to push them beyond their limit for their important concert, the time they should've spent relaxing after all the hard work they did to get this far was instead spent with their instruments like that's all that mattered. When Bruce brought up quitting the band, Clay happily joins that train, and walks out the door as soon as John and Bruce do. And so, Clay leaves the house and goes to stay with his friend at the age of 14. He finishes high school, gets accepted into a very good university, and moves into a dorm as soon as he can as to not cause more trouble for his friend than he already has. And life is good again, he's doing what he wants, works at a local library, studying to be a licensed CPA, and is gathering his courage up to confess to Viva. However, he does the latter too late, for he confesses to her and dies in a fire at the university while saving her, pushing her out of the burning building before it collapses on top of him.
(Things written on the paper)
Was the bassist in Brozone
Stayed with a friend after leaving the band and moves into a dorm as soon as he got accepted into uni
Was going to be a licensed CPA
Was best friends with Viva before he died
Died on the same day as John Dory and Bruce in a fire
Died at the age of 20
Was also in a sad book club
There's still a lot I need to write out about this AU, and a lot of characters to draw and design, but I hope you all like what I have so far! Here are some redraws of certain scenes from Julie and the Phantoms with this crew (again, excuse the lack of tails on one of these, I once again forgot to add them, just imagine that they're there)

Wish come true - Adrien AUGrest Day 23, 24 & 25
I know this is technically a day late but I thought it wouldn't be right to build up the idea of Kitty Section's biggest gig and not write it for you. Which turned out to be harder than I thought when you've only actually gone to one concert that has an opening act and you can't for the life of you remember how it went. So EtherealGenie, who once again betaed this chapter, had to give me advice on how it should work.
Also coming up with the set list for this was hard. So when describing Kitty Section's sound, my first thought when I watched the Hardrock episode was metal but I guess it also fits into rock. Kawaii metal was how it was described in a story by Mikauzoran (who is an amazing lukadrien writer and you should totally read their work) and after listening to Babymetal, whose song Gimme Chocolate is featured as the group's opening number, I thought it fit. But since I didn't want a technically French group singing a bunch of Japanese covers, I had to go looking through the metal and rock songs I have saved on my Spotify. I didn't realize how many of them start with death and destruction in the first few lyrics, so it made it pretty hard to decide, but below is their set list.
In terms of the actual prompt of the story, that part sort of worked since I needed an excuse for Luka to take off the ring he always has on. My original idea was so basic: luka gives Adrien one of his rings when he was messing with it and is able to find a near match and asks luka if he’d be ok wearing them as a sign of their relationship As in, Adrien is messing with one of Luka's rings when hanging out and Luka just gives it to him. I think I like this version better. Hopefully you do as well. And seriously, a massive thank you to EtherealGenie for betaing.
Gimme Chocolate - Babymetal From Persephone (the mentioned song that Rose wrote) - Kiki Rockwell Middle of the Night (J-Rock Cover) - Elley Duhé (J-Rock Cover by Shayne Orok & @Curserino) The Resistance - Skillet Invincible - Escape the Fate ft Lindsey Stirling
Rings
“Adrien, you need to eat something. You went through all the effort to bring us here.” Mylene said, though she knew she wasn’t getting through to the Italian keyboard player.
It was D-Day. Jagged Stone’s concert was that night and they were given instructions to be at the venue at 4 for sound check and then to get ready. They were grabbing an early dinner, since Penny hadn’t been sure if the venue would provide an extra meal. While they were all nervous, Adrien seemed to take it especially hard. Not only did he have the pressure of needing to impress Jagged a second time, there was also the fact that he was private with his personal life online and now he was putting himself in a position where everyone would want to find him.
“Give him some space. I mean, he didn’t make us chew at the charcuterie board while he took pictures.” Ivan recalled, laughing when Adrien glared at him instead of staring at the table like it had all the answers.
“We’ll be fine. but seriously, eat something, please? We have 30 minutes to make an impression and I think you’d be very upset if it got cut short because you fainted.” Luka said, pulling the plate of arancini closer to Adrien’s mostly empty plate. A few of the cheeses and meats from the board were on there but it was all spread out from him playing with it.
Adrien still didn’t move, his hands on his neck holding his head up while his fingers tugging at the strands of hair at the nape of his neck. It was a soothing technique he’d done since he was a kid, usually when he got very stressed. At first, he didn’t pay attention when he did it to the point he started to pull hair out. Now Adrien knew to fiddle or twirl it instead of yanking it in nerves. With his fingers occupied, food was the last thing on his mind.
“Here.” Luka put his knife and fork down, taking one of Adrien’s hands from his hair. He pulled off the ring he wore and slipped it on Adrien’s finger. Since Luka’s were bigger, the ring was loose. “Spin that with one hand and eat with the other.”
New fidget toy in hand, Adrien couldn’t really say no. he still didn’t eat nearly as much as they’d like but Mylene showed the others a text from Marinette, who was heading to the venue to get the costumes set and had been sent with quite a load of stuff from her parents. If anything, they could stuff his face at the venue.
Adrien continued to spin the ring when a car came get them from the restaurant, when being talked to by Penny and the sound technician about what they had to do for their sound check and more so when Marinette showed them their outfits. To keep them from overheating in their masks and shoulder pads, Marinette made them themed outfits that still had similar elements, still bringing their actual costumes for their last song.
“Feeling a bit better?” Mylene asked as Adrien and Juleka started setting up to do everyone’s make up.
“I guess. I mean the sound check went fine. Everyone in the class chat keeps sending encouraging messages. It’s just… scary.”
“My dad gets nervous performing too. He says to just take a deep breath, tell yourself what you want the best part to be and focus on getting to that part. If you stay focused on nailing that part then the rest doesn’t seem so scary.”
“Here’s hoping my nerves will actually listen to that.”
“Well,” taking the hand that still had Luka’s ring on it, Mylene smiled at him, rather mischievously, “I suppose a good luck charm doesn’t hurt.” She touched the pin Ivan had given her all that time ago.
Adrien hadn’t seen Luka without his accessories very much, so the fact that he’d given him his ring to keep him from tugging on his hair was silly, but it felt nice. He was always doing that, going out of his way to do things for him. Part of Adrien wondered if he was doing enough to show how much he appreciated it. Luka was looking to be his longest relationship, with past ones barely lasting long enough to feel real or stolen kisses rarely reaching the point of make out sessions. Luka was different and Adrien wanted him to know how much he saw that.
“Adrien,” Juleka said, distracting him from his thoughts, “I’ll do Ivan and you do Rose? I’ll do yours after so you can work on me.”
“Luka is getting his done too?” Mylene asked.
“Who do you think I practice on?” Juleka pointed out. “He already knows how to do his.”
Marinette had outdone herself. Jackets were the main replacement for their shoulder pads, but each of them still held the same style. Juleka’s was designed after an 80s David Bowie jacket, with the curved pointed shoulder pads that were studded. With her sleek low-rise leggings and her jacket zipped near to the top, she looked like a sophisticated rock star. Ivan’s design was as simple as his actual costume. Marinette still put his bracers on but replaced his harness with a sleeveless vest. Ivan’s costume didn’t have the same emphasis on shoulders like the others did, replaced with the bracers and armbands, but the jacket had the look of sleeves rolled all the way to the top, making them look slightly puffy, but not as severe as Juleka’s jacket.
“You look so good.” Mylene gushed, as Marinette tugged Ivan’s white shirt into place.
“I know you prefer shorts, but you make jeans look good.” Adrien said, from his place tying tiny pigtails into Rose’s hair.
“Do you really like it?” Ivan asked shyly. Mylene looked like a bobble head nodding her head.
Rose still held onto her favourite colorcolour with her pink plaid skirt, even if most of everything else she wore was black. Not her jacket though, Marinette made sure of that. To go with the roundness of her shoulder pads, she gave Rose an oversized puff sleeve on her jacket. Adrien’s was the most still like his costume, a shoulder cape attached to his form fitting tunic, while Luka’s was the most different. Luka’s outwear looked like a normal vintage cape coat with a collar similar to the one he wore with his costume. but Marinette added an attached shoulder pad, much like the one Mad Max had.
“You all look amazing! Marinette, nice work.” Penny complimented just as Marinette was done taking pictures. “I hope you guys are ready. Once we get your in-ears on, you guys are ready to head on stage.”
Nerves built back up as wires were tugged down their shirts and jackets and they reached the end of the wing. Rose gathered them in a huddle, Marinette and Mylene included.
“We can do this. Jagged Stone has technically heard us play remember. He stuck around after Desperada and Adrien knocked the socks off of him again just with a piano medley. We’re going to show him and everyone else that those are not one-time things.”
While the nerves were still building, it was a reminder they weren’t on their own on that stage.
“Unicorns and kitties, Kitty Section on three?” Ivan asked, dropping a hand into the middle.
They all dropped their hands on top of the next, bouncing as they counted down. “Unicorns and kitties, Kitty Section!”
The stage lights dimmed and the Kitty Section logo appeared on all the screens as entrance music started. There was general cheering, but none nearly as loud as the Kitty Section fans. But people were curious. Their on-air performance on TVi helped them get their foot through the door and Luka’s job as a delivery guy helped in finding coffee houses or places with open mics for them to perform at. Eventually, about two under age clubs let them perform small sets every few weeks and they started to have regulars come watch them. With Marinette busy with just about everything else, Mylene helped run their social media accounts. And since Jagged never missed a chance to talk about how amazing his graphic designer was, through Marinette, the band started to gain more popularity. The idea of a cutesy rock group with a sunshine lead singer who could metal scream was different. So when Jagged Stone posted that they’d be opening, Kitty Section fans could throw their money fast enough.
The entrance music faded out as Adrien started the lead in for Babymetal’s Gimme Chocolate!! The lights came back dramatically as the rest of the band followed. Rose had written one new song but in the interest of not overloading herself, the group agreed to mostly do covers. Adrien spent what felt like every spare moment teaching Rose how to sing the song in Japanese instead of translating it. The two might split the song with Rose doing most of the singing but she wanted it to be perfect.
Atatata tata tatatata zukkyun!
Watatata tata tatatata dokkyun!
Zukkyun! Dokkyun! Zukkyun! Dokkyun!
Yada! Yada! Yada! Yada! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
Chekera Chokoreeto Chokoreeto Cho! Cho! Cho! Iikana?
Demo ne chotto Weight Chotto saikin shinpai nan desu
Dakedo Chokoreeto Chokoreeto Cho! Cho! Cho! Iikana?
Demo ne chotto Wait Chotto matter Cho! Cho! Cho!
Give me!
Those who recognised the song, they started singing along with Rose, cheering as she did the choreography. Luka’s fingers slid across the fret of his guitar, Juleka following to the end of the song. The cheering and screaming was much louder now.
Adrien started the slow lead in, as Juleka let her guitar rest on her back to sing with Rose, switching with each verse.
You're all mistaken, mother, can't you see?
I was not taken, mother I chose to leave
'Cause I love my baby, tall, dark Hades, lord of death is down on her knees for me
No, I wasn't threatened, mother I was not bound
No, I wasn't carried, off on her three-headed hound
'Cause I packed my own bag, found my own way, down into the underground
As the song ended, Luka started to strum the familiar start to Middle of the Night with Ivan supporting, giving it a rock mood. Rose pulled her mic off the stand as she leaned against Juleka, who’d switched her guitar for her bass and joined in.
I summoned you, please come to me
Don't bury thoughts that you really want
I fill you up, drink from my cup
Within me lies what you really want
Come, lay me down
'Cause you know this
'Cause you know this sound
The well known song seemed to be a hit as the crowd joined in singing, not missing a beat, even as it was played as a rock version. They had to wait for the crowd to quiet a little to hear Luka counting the band off so they could start at the same time.
I am a nation, I am a million faces
Formed together, made for elevation
I am a soldier, I won't surrender
Faith is like a fire that never burns to embers
(Who's gonna stand up, who's gonna fight?)
The voice of the unheard
(Who's gonna break these chains and lies?)
Love is the answer
Juleka leaned into her mic.
I gotta speak it, believe it, that's how I feel inside
(I) I (I), can't, can't sit here quiet
You can take my heart, you can take my breath
When you pry it from my cold, dead chest
Adrien joined the girls for the chorus.
This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder
Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It's our world, they can never have it
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance, you can't resist us
At the false end, Juleka quickly pulled her bass off and switched to her guitar, going into the solo. Meanwhile, Luka put his guitar on its stand and picked up a violin and its bow from the stand next to his guitar. Resting the shoulder rest on his shoulder and resting his chin into the correct place, he nodded to Juleka and Adrien, who immediately moved into the opening of the next song.
I know you're reaching for the throne
Like it's always been your own
You're gonna take it all the way
You're gonna take the crown today
Said I know you're gonna take it all, take it all
Watch the others as they fall, as they fall
I know you're gonna take it all, take it all
Let the others fall
You're invincible
As Luka brought the song to a close with the small violin solo, Rose caught Penny’s eye as the assistant gave her a thumbs up.
“Give it up for Luka on lead guitar and violin!” as the crowd cheered, Marinette and Mylene came on stage, carrying familiar costumes. Rose put her mic back on its stand to free her hands. “Juleka on rhythm guitar, bass and vocals, Ivan on drums and Adrien on keys and vocals! I’m Rose on lead.” Rose announced as Marinette handed over the pink shoulder pads, the matching masks dangling from her finger.
“A round of applause for Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Mylene Haprèle!” Adrien said, fitting his mask on the side of his head. It felt strange that they were dressing like XY had when he stole their song, but playing a set made them sweat and it’d been agreed during dress rehearsal that no one wanted to wear the mask properly, even if for only one song.
Once the girls were off stage, Rose lifted a hand into the air, “Good evening and good night, everyone! We are Kitty Section! One, two, three!”
You know I love unicorns
Yeah, nothing makes me feel better!
I see their faces everywhere I go
Dreaming about them at the nights!
You know I love unicorns
And that they make me feel better!
_______________________
“Crap, crap, crap. Porca miseria! Where is it?”
The concert came to an end, Jagged Stone performed for the masses and sung their praises at least three times, even pointing out a wayward sign from a fan. Knowing they had a following should have sent Adrien flying. And it did. I mean, they actually did it. They impressed Jagged Stone. He promised he’d help keep Bob Roth on a leash and actually listen to them – though they all knew if he failed, Captain Anarka would be more than happy to string him around again. Felix managed to make it and so far, the Captain gave as good as Felix could give. Adrien was sure Felix would profess his love with how easily they clashed together. He should be with them, teasing Felix to keep going, listening to Luka sigh about how he was setting the Londoner for his own death, gushing about how their life would change, even if the band only lasted a year because who really knew? Instead, he was doing what he tried to slyly do when Jagged Stone invited the band back on stage to perform Amaranthine with him. With Jagged behind his grand piano, it left Adrien free to move across the stage as he sang, like he was doing now, even as he dodged questioning staff.
The ring Luka had given him to mess with was missing.
Adrien had put it back on after they were done getting ready to help keep him occupied but he’d slipped it into his pocket when he got behind his keyboard. He didn’t think he’d moved around much, other than jumping a little but with no hole in his pocket to justify it, it had to have fallen out. He hadn’t noticed until he went looking for it as nerves picked up again when he remembered they’d have to go back out for their joint performance. Luka took off an accessory he constantly wore and gave it to him so he could eat and here Adrien was, repaying him by losing it.
“There you are.” Felix, still perfectly dressed as ever, stepped around staff members, Marc of all people following behind. “Everyone’s looking for you. what are you doing?”
“I lost Luka’s ring. He never takes it off but he gave it to me and I lost it!”
“Woah, easy. It wouldn’t be a good look for you to be singing songs that could be taken about resisting against Hawkmoth then getting akumatized later. Start explaining. SLOWER this time.” Felix ordered.
Adrien took a deep breath before speaking again. “Luka, he wears this black and silver ring. I was too nervous to eat and when I got nervous, I couldn't take my hands off my hair so Luka gave me his ring to mess with instead so my hands would be free. I kept it with me the whole time in my pocket and now it’s gone. It went missing before we went on stage a second time.”
“Is it important?” Marc asked.
Adrien shrugged, turning back to look at the ground. “I don’t know. I just know I’ve never seen him without it. Ugh, like it’s not bad enough I feel like a bad boyfriend sometimes.”
“Ok seriously? You’re not a bad boyfriend. Luka doesn’t strike me as the type to just date someone who didn’t have the same feelings for him.”
“He’s right.” Marc said. “Luka’s empathic nature wouldn’t be able to handle a relationship where the person wasn’t as in the relationship as he was. He’ll understand if you tell him.”
“If it turns out it’s important, we’ll help you look. Bug the staff or whatever. I don’t think it would have gone into the crowd since you weren’t close to the edge of the stage.”
Adrien knew they were right and after one more search around the stage, he went to the greenroom where their class was. The rest of Kitty Section were gushing about their hopes for their new adventure. Spotting Adrien, Luka left the others, coming over.
“I was wondering where you were. You didn’t even change out of your stage clothes. What’s wrong?”
“Um,” Adrien scuffed his shoe against the floor before looking up. “The ring you leant me. I lost it, I’m sorry. I don’t know how. I had it and now it’s gone.”
“Hey,” Luka soothed, putting his hands on Adrien’s shoulders, “It’s ok. I mean it. Adrien, I got that ring at a shop 2 years ago. I was just looking for accessories while Juleka was getting new earrings and I just kept wearing it.”
“But you always have it on.”
Luka laughed a little. “It’s because I have a .5 ring size. Most rings sold in chain stores are a standard whole number size. I just wore it because I couldn’t really find others that fit. I promise, it’s fine.” Adrien looked down at his feet again, mumbling. “Huh?”
“I said you always do that. Reassure me and look out for me. I feel like I don’t do that nearly enough.”
“You’re joking right? Adrien, you do that too. You look out for people, you defend with everything you have, you love with your whole heart. Every one of us, especially me, knows how much you care.”
“Yeah, but am I doing it well enough as a boyfriend? I’m not exactly good at this and I want to make sure I’m doing ok.”
“Adrien, trust me. The fact that you’re worried about this means you are doing ok. Besides, I didn’t really date much either. I’m just as new to this as you are.”
“But you’re so suave and sophisticated.” Adrien couldn’t help but tease.
“And easily affected by strong emotions. But it’s fine. Meant I got you in the end.”
Turning red when he heard Felix laughing at him, Adrien hid his face in Luka’s neck, letting the guitar player run his fingers up and down his back. Luka might not care about the missing ring but still, Adrien wanted to prove a point.
_________________________________
Adrien scrolled through the webpage on his laptop. It was probably stupid, even after Luka said he didn’t care about the missing ring but still. Since Felix spent the night with him – he wasn’t risking being tempted to trick his uncle – he’d encouraged his idea. He’d also pointed out that it seemed Luka had the love languages of giving words of affirmation and acts of service. When Adrien mentioned how much time they spent together hanging out, Felix said his language was giving quality time.
“You both have a different way of showing how much you guys like each other. You just seem to have trouble noticing your more silent affections.” Felix said. “He was right, you feeling bad about the ring and showing how you feel is a sign you care. If you want to get him a new one, I think he’d like it even more. You know how he likes to show love, why not figure out what he likes receiving?”
So here he was, shopping for a replacement ring. He knew it didn’t have to be anything big but he wanted it to be special. And he was a sucker for shared rings. He knew in Korea, much like matching clothes, having couple rings was a way to show you were in a relationship. No one doubted they were dating, but with Luka homeschooled, there were times where Adrien wanted something of his nearby to remind him who he could see after school or on the weekends. He’d never gotten the chance to steal clothing from a significant other or share anything like that and the fact he could possibly do it with Luka? That a lot of his firsts of being in a relationship were with Luka? It made him giddy.
He heard the door open and he leaned over to see his mother on the phone. She’d already shed her blazer and her hair was out of its normal ponytail. She kicked off her heels and dumped her things on the floor as she leaned on the closed door.
“But it just feels so soon to move again.” What? “A lot of the new programs got integrated and a few were my own projects. I know we don’t know when the fight will end, but I’d at least like to see them all come to fruition. A few still need more time to be set up. I guess I can’t argue, I’m just surprised that they’d offer reassignments so soon. Poor Adrien if we do move. His concert went so well and he got signed. He’s so young, I don’t feel comfortable letting him stay by himself. And goodness, his boyfriend. His father loves him and he’s so polite. Adrien’s liked him for a while, it’s going to hurt him so badly if they have to end it.”
“Mama?” he asked, standing up.
His mother jumped at his voice, eyes widening when she saw him.
“I’m going to call you back. Adrien, caro, when did you get here?”
“I was here the whole time. Mama… are we moving?”
“...I don’t know.”
Adrien was trying not to get upset. “It sounded like you were pretty sure.”
“I know. I know, I shouldn’t have said it like that. Adrien, I promise you, I don’t know. But whenever reassignment comes up, we always move. I’m just expecting to be told we would move.”
He couldn’t fault his mother for that. She was right. The minute she was done with whatever project she was helping with, they were off to the next one. But this was different. Paris was the place they’d been in the longest, not counting New York the first time. But he was more established here. He had friends, friends who actually felt like they could last forever. He was dating someone who felt way more stable than his other relationships. And to be honest, he didn’t want to leave.
“Can I really not stay here?” Adrien begged.
“Adrien, you’re barely in lycée, I don’t feel comfortable with you here on your own.”
“Ok,” Adrien said slowly, trying to think when an idea came to mind. “What about if I stayed with a classmate’s family?”
She looked surprised at the idea. He hadn’t even asked to do that with the few friends in Italy he still had whenever they’d leave from there. “Well, I suppose if their parents are ok with it. I’d have to think about it though. How about I talk with your father? If we agree and I’m reassigned, we’ll talk with someone. I’ll let you finish the year here and during break, we can decide what to do after. How does that sound?”
He wanted to disagree but he knew this was as good as he was getting. “Deal.”
“Alright. I’ll get changed and we can order in?” she asked, moving once he nodded.
Adrien sat back down, barely noticing the thing flying by the window as he took a breath. He knew this would come eventually. He just didn’t expect it to hurt so much at the thought of it. he took in the webpage of couple rings and straightened up. If this was going to end his relationship with Luka, because long distance felt impossible at their age, he was going to leave Luka with a gift to let him know just how much he meant to him.
____________________
“Knock knock?”
Luka looked up from his last sheets from the Grimoire. Even though Juleka was busier actually going to school, somehow, she finished her pages first. He was sure she got the page that explained how to fix broken Miraculous, because he had yet to see it. he’d give it to the Guardians, they loved their riddles and double meanings.
Adrien was a very welcome sight from him scratching his head trying to decipher what they were saying. Putting his iPad down and his stylus he outstretched his arms for a hug. He even gave grabby hands.
“To quote a very famous guitar player, you’re cute.” Adrien said, coming over and sitting between Luka’s legs, falling into the hug Luka pulled him into. He yelped as Luka leaned back so he was resting on his chest. “Hi.” He said, staring up at his boyfriend.
“Hello. I thought you were hanging out with Marc.”
“I was. We had to go pick something up. I sorta convinced him to do something with me, so we have plans to actually go eat dinner instead. Assuming I can pry him away from Nath.”
“Now I’m curious.”
“So, you know how I lost your ring?”
“You know how I told you it was ok and I didn’t care?” he didn’t. It was odd not having it there but it didn’t bother him much. Getting Adrien to focus on something else so he could eat had felt more important and it worked.
“Well, I did, so I wanted to make it up to you. Felix mentioned that you have the love language of giving acts of service, and I should probably figure out which language you like to receive so we’re starting with this.” Getting up, Adrien pulled a small drawstring bag out from the inside pocket of his jean jacket. “So, I know you told me that I’m doing ok in this relationship. I felt bad about losing the ring, even if it doesn’t matter and I wanted you to know how much you meant to me. I also wanted us to have a small thing for us to have and think of each other since you have homeschooling and we don’t get to see each other during the weekday. Here.”
Luka took the bag, using a finger to pull it open and turned it over. two silver rings dropped out, both with gold designs. One was a half shining sun and the other a crescent moon. Both had stars on them in the same gold.
“Couple rings are pretty popular. It’s not like a promise ring or anything, just a way for people to know we’re together.” Adrien explained, feeling calm as Luka smiled down at them.
“So,” Luka started, picking up the ring with the sun on it, “when I see this sun, I’ll think of my, what did Alya call you? Sunshine gremlin?”
Adrien laughed. “Yeah. And I’ll look at this and think of my moonlight knight.”
“That’s a Sailor Moon reference.” Luka said, pointing at Adrien when he recognised it.
“The man can be taught. But no, stars are important to sailors and you’re important to me. Do you like it?”
“I do. Thank you.” Luka said, pressing a kiss onto Adrien’s lips. “and quality time. My love language, I like spending time with people I love.”
Adrien’s heart skipped at the wording Luka used and the question was on his tongue. He could tell Luka didn’t misspeak, not with that look on his face.
“I like spending time with you.” Luka said, meaning what he said before, but he wasn’t going to rush a response out of Adrien.
“I really like being with you too.” Adrien said. “Um, before I forget. It’s probably nothing and it’s still up in the air at this point, but…Mama told me she might be getting reassigned. We don’t actually know; it’s just it usually happens so we think it might happen. But she agreed that if her and dad agree, I could ask a classmate to stay with their family. Nino already said he’d talk to his parents and so did Marc. Chloe overheard and even offered, so it’s fine. It’s not even official, I just…needed you to know.”
“But you don’t know?”
“No. But I don’t want to leave.” Adrien said, hoping Luka could hear the unspoken things. He didn’t want to leave him. “As far as we know, I’m here to stay.”
“Then let’s stick with that until we’re told differently then.” Luka said. He took the moon ring from Adrien and helped him put it on, smiling when Adrien gushed that it was adjustable.
“That way you don’t have to worry about your .5 size.”
After slipping his own ring on, he pulled Adrien close, dropping back again.
“I’m just going to hold on, just until you have to go, ok?”
“Ok,” Adrien said, fitting his head into Luka’s neck. “I’m not going anywhere.”
Whether Adrien was or wasn’t, right then, it didn’t matter. This was all he needed right now.

“Come on Eddie let me show you this.” Lilly said in a sing-songy voice. It had already been a month since they had their dinner date thing at Steves. For the whole rest of the month it was spent getting me some new clothes, and get more comfortable with the idea that I wasn’t going anywhere besides Lilly’s trailer. I was getting up from the small dinner table that Lily was using as a catch all for everything. “What’s up?” Our conversation only now starting to become smoother, glide easier from topic to topic. “You said you like metal right?”
I cocked my head a little bit. I don’t really remember a lot of the things I say nowadays, words just sorta fly out of my mouth. Most of the time my mouth is left open from viewing a world that is far more advanced then I was ever used to. I always sorta dreamed of a futuristic world, but never what Lilly had shown me so far. “Yeah I think I did.” I answer still wondering why she’s taking this conversation. She’s sitting on the couch, her legs crossed over each other. She’s looking down at her phone screen.
It had been something I wasn’t able to not comment on. She had shown me a few things, like how messages were instant now, and emojis which was a fucking funny word. “Come sit, I know I’ve shown you a few things. I think you might just like this the most though.” Lilly was so sweet in everything she did motioning me to come sit next to her I did. My knees touching hers. “This app right here.” She said pointing down to her screen, “This is for if you weren’t able to cause music.” Lilly must be joking right.
“What do you mean? Well…I had noticed that you didn’t have a radio or anything like that I mean besides in your car but that seems normal enough you don’t have a cassette player though.” She stared at me as I rambled on until my lips stopped moving and the words stopped forming in my head. “I know I’m going to show you this instead so you can listen to music faster, and theres more of it.” Lilly was clicking the app on her screen, and the screen changed rather quickly. “Search anything your heart contents Eddie.” “Anything?” I asked.
She hummed, and I looked down at the phone in my hands. It wa smaller then my hands. It had seemed that everything nowadays was smaller. Nothing besides stores had gotten bigger. Hawkins was still small and quaint. I let my fingrs press softly into the online keyboard. I pressed until the letters formed words on the bar above the keyboard. I wrote out ‘Metal 80’s’ I heard the softest giggle from besides me, I hadn’t rrealized she was watching over my shoulder so intently. “I figured you go back to your roots.” Lilly commented, “My roots?” I questioned her.
“Yeah you’ve got that metal vibe. I feel like I already said that… Maybe I didn’t. Now I want you to click which ever one interests you the most.” She says returning my attention back to the phone in my hands. I scroll I feel like that’s what I’m supposed to do, I scroll until I see Dio. It’s the cover album that I had painted on the back my jean jacket. “I like this album from Dio, the last in line. Spoke to me a lot when I was kid.” My words stopped dead when a bubble popped up.
A bubble that said calendar event; Birthday to me. I turned looking at Lilly “it’s your birthday today?” I asked, my attention was drawn away from the potential for music and for the that fact it was Lilly’s birthday. I hadn’t known her long and maybe she had other things more important things to do, either way . She hummed, shaking her head before looking back down at her phone. “Happy birthday? How old are you turning today?” I ask, Wayne had taught me a few things, like always be respectful to women, and never ask their age. “Shit sorry I…”
Lilly laughs for a moment, “If you must know Eddie I’ve turned 22 today.” She’s giggling. “Do you not have things planned?” I ask her, I had already turned 21 and 22 but I remember thinking that it was great to be able to drink legally I guess. Uncle Wayne had given me my ‘first’ real drink a beer that had been sitting in the fridge for who knows how long. I look fondly on the memory. “No haven’t got a one, friends in this town are shotty. I have a feeling you know I mean.” I shake my head.
Agree with her sadly, I had friends before I met the chaos gang of the upside down. Gareth and Jeff had been my friends but that was because we had our band together. “I understand what you mean.” I dropped the conversation sensing that it might not be a great idea to try and continue on with it. “So now you can choose whatever song you wanna listen to from that album.” Lilly said dropping the conversation and going right back into the music thing. I was amazed by the fast selection along with not waiting for the other songs.
“What do you listen to for music?” I asked, wanting unnerving to learn more about Lilly. Not that Lilly wasn’t beautiful to gaze at or that her voice made goosebumps show up on open skin, but I just didn’t want to fuck up. “Well I mean that’s a hard question for me to answer Eddie.” I look at her, hard question. Ask my choice of music any day and it would be the same every single time. “Here Eds,” She glides her fingers over my fingers taking me to another icon, before showing me a huge like list. “My favorites.”
She giggles, there’s a number at the top, “Seventeen hundred songs Lilly! HO-LY SHIT” I’m exgrateratting to no extent but it’s still funny to her face contrast with emgrassament to the knowing look that I’m fucking her with. It’s odd I’ve only known her for a few months and there’s already this unbreakable bond that’s building between us. She rolls her eyes and takes the phone. Snatching it from my hands. “Whatever, you listened to songs on a walkman probably!?” She teases me, I squint my eyes and pretend in the worst way to be mad. “It was records acutally.”
She busts out laughing and it causes a cascade like falling rain of laughter to fall from me. It’s so quiet in the trailer park yet in this trailer in the mid afternoon as the sun is high in the sky somehow it’s so loud and vibrant. The laughter doesn’t stop there, “You most definitely would pass the vibe check!” Lilly says with excitement, my eyes go wide with wonder, “What the hell did you just say to me?” I question her, “It’s just means that you’re cool, like you’d be cool to hang out with.” I hum at her.
“What it means that, here look.” She says bringing her phone back into the conversation, she moves quickly her fingers moving like how my mind works when I’m trying to figure out some D&D storyline. “Look, according to google it means ‘to successfully emanate a cool, chill and laid-back aura.’ Word for word she repeats the words on her phone screen. I can’t help but looked shock, “So you’ve got the slang words to huh?” I ask her suspicion of what other crazy words there are. Lilly looks more shocked than I did, “Yeah we’ve got slang words too.”
With a roll of her eye she’s back on her phone looking for more, “I didn’t really have one for vibe check, but have you heard this one, ‘gag me with a spoon’.” Lillys eyes grow with amusement. “Eddie what did you just say to me?” She’s laughing and talking at the same time. “In simple terms or fucked up ones?” I ask her, she rolls her eyes once more. “Tell me both Eddie.” “In fucked up terms it can mean about a few dozen things, but in simple terms it means that was disgusting, gag me with a spoon.”
She stares at me. Waiting a few moments like she’s trying to think up something new into the world. “I’ve got one better Bussin’” I drag my hand through my hair as wonder and amazement that these slang terms havent’ gotten any fucking better. “Bussin’” I echo her. “Bussin’” She comes with, “Just means amazing Eddie.” Sitting there I think back to my slang terms, words that I used almost daily and then it clicks. “Bussin’ equals gnarly.” I say simple before looking up at her. She hangs wit her mouth open, “Close your mouth you might catch flies Lilly.”
She shuts her mouth quickly. A moment passes, “gnarly doens’t equal bussin, but I have a better one anyways.” She’s trying desperately to coax me into asking her, “I don’t know if I truely wanna know now.” I play from a different angle. She squints her eyes at me, creasing her forehead in the process. “Bougie.” Again we stare at each other, “Bougie” I echo her again. “Bougie.” She echos back. Like a long empty hallway of one worded answers. “Meaning?” I ask, “In your terms, I would say Mr. Harrington house is Bougie, and maybe even his style too.”
She winks at me. “Are you sure that you don’t have any plans?” I ask her once more. She looks down at her wrist, but there’s nothing there. No watch no nothing. “Hmm let me just check, no I’d rather spend it with you… if that's okay.” She says sweetly. Lilly moves from her legs being crossed. “How about we go somewhere?” I suggest she stretches her legs, shorts that ride up her skin. The sun has gone down the laughter causing a large time gap for me. Nearly dinner time anyways. “Why don’t I take you somewhere.” She nods.
Getting up and out isn’t the hard part, it's finding some place to get a late sorta late dinner before I take her to one of my favorite places. “I grabbed my weed if that’s okay?” Lilly asks, I look over at her as I pull into a parking spot in the local outskirts diner in Hawkins. “Yeah of course, I mean it’s your birthday anyways.” I get out of the car and over to her side. Opening her door, “My lady, would you accompany me to dinner tonight?” I ask dramatically moving my body around, she laughs nodding again.
It’s not to crowded but it’s not super empty. Lilly glides to a booth near the back of the dinner. She slides into the seat infront of me and I slide in on the other side across from her. “I know I don’t have a… well any money but I thought I could half assed treat ya.” I mention, she looks up from the menu that was already at the table. “I know Eddie.” Lilly says sweetly going back to look at her menu. It’s not rush hour but there's a few creepy faces around. “Look at your menu Eds.”
I look over and she’s handing me this large plastic covered menu. There are a few hundred choices. Mix and match different orders or half order together to get whatever you want for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. “Eddie, are you alright?” She asks. She's looking over the edge of her menu. It’s like magic how she makes me feel as if we’re the only ones in the diner. I was lost in a world somewhere here and not here. “Yeah, just trying to make a choice is all.” I answer her by eyeing her over the edge of the menu.
She continues to keep her watchful eye on me. Wonderment glossing through her beautiful brown eyes. She hadn’t changed her clothes besides grabbing a sweater before she locked the door behind her. She had a short sleeve low cut shirt on, it gave a rather perfect view of her chest. A pair of bell bottoms, not that they didn’t make her ass look great when she walked in front of me to inside the small diner. As I continue to look over the meals. I’m distracted, as an older gentleman starts walking up towards our booth. Pot belly and all.
He’s slimy, and I can’t help but become over protective over what I’m already considering to be mine, but she’s not mine. Lilly will most likely, most definitely never want me like I want her. I have to curb the anger that is growing stronger in my chest. “Hey doll, what are you doin’ here?” The voice is grating and it makes me even more angry. Lilly doesn't even acknowledge him, that is until he reaches out to touch her. She grabs his hand. He doesn’t know what is happening, just that he’s probably pissing his pants from her grip.
“Shit let go of my hand!” He wasn’t yet screaming or anything, but Lilly was grabbing the attention of many folk within the diner. “Why? Do you think it’s alright to go out and touch random female strangers who you think want you to touch them?” Her face was snarled up. Her hand visibly tighten harder around the old mans wrist. I sat in complete and utter awe at her. “What is your problem?” He moaned out, “I’m making a point that you seem to be missin’ get the fuck out of here before you make a larger mess huh!”
Lilly not once raised her voice, and the eerie concern that Hawkins haydn’t changed just every creep or jerk had just gotten older was rubbing underneath my skin. A few moments of the diner being quiet besides a ding of the bell as the old fart ran away with his tail between his legs. “Whatever just happened I don’t dare want to know how many times you’ve had to do that.” Waving the waitress over. Her apron hung lower on her body a teenager who didn’t want this ghastly job. “What can I get you today?” Monotone voice ringing out.
We ordered and sat in silence for only a few moments before the teenager returned with out drinks. A coke, and one large hot chocolate. The cup was hot was steam rolling off the top of the ceramic cup. “Do you always get a hot chocolate with your breakfast?” I asked winking at her. Lilly rolled her eyes before looking down and blowing softly into the liquid causing tiny ripples to fly through it. “I do infact, never go without a good hot chocolate even if it’s way to hot for the warmth of the hot chocolate to be comforting.”
She sipped her warm drink and I sipped my fizzy drink. Without noticing at all, the waitress was walking our way with two plates and maybe a few more on the way. A simple breakfast for dinner sorta of night tonight was. Calm and peaceful to eat a morning meal before you go to sleep. The wafting smell of pancakes with butter melted into them, eggs with enough salt to kill a horse, sausage links that always made you thought you were eating something just a little spicy. Lilly licked her lips, the teenage left so we can gorge ourselves.
For someone I didn’t know anything about, we made the silence of eating and forks scratching against the porcelain plate comfortable. How we managed to do that I didn’t understand. I got to eating after watching Lilly for to long that she caught my eye on her. The silence is cut short when Lilly ask me a question about my past. “Was this a place you always came to when you were… here before?” She asks, we haven’t figured out what to call my falling through her ceiling yet. “I did, my band and i would stop after a show.”
“Band?” Lilly is so much more intrigued in learning about me. It’s a stark contrast to what I’m used to, the names getting thrown around my head, the way my head would hit a locker or the hard concrete ground in the back parking of that stupid Hawkins highschool. “Eddie?” She asks throwing me out of my head, “Where’d you just go?” She asks, “I… just thinking is all.” I answer her, “Yeah I had a band, I guess you could say it was my baby ya know.” I shove a forkful of eggs and bacon. “So many guitar picks.”
“What?” I had only just managed to swallow the eggs before she bursted those words out of her mouth. “Yeah I swear once Wayne had left the trailer he said to pack away anything I found that was in the room in the back. I don’t think he ever went back in there after you left. But seriously Eddie how many picks did you loose?!” Lilly is on the verge of asking, teasing me I can tell. Her eyes are glinting over. I can’t put my finger on just yet. “I lost many.” I reach up, fishing out my necklace.
“That one important?” She asks, she’s eyeing my hands. “What do you mean?” I only manage to not sound like a dick. “When I took you to the hospital and all, they gave me all of your things to keep safe.” She’s looking at me. “I figure that it was important if it was chained around your neck ya know.” She shrugs. I eat as she talks about my pick that’s around my chain necklace. There’s a growing silence that makes it hard to concentrate on anything other then her. “So is it for a girl? Ya know a gift?”
I see something, ther’es something behind her eyes. A twing of jealousy, a twing of hurt that she might be right that it’s connected to someone who’s special to me. “Nope. More like a gift from my mom before she ah before she passed away.” I answer her dreadful question. The tension in the conversation loosens but something else grows in it’s place. Sadness and pity in her eyes. “I’m sorry Eds, I didn’t mean… I’m glad that you have something of hers.” Lilly speaks quietly. The food on both plates is almost gone and the teeanger is back again.
Dropping the check on the table before takingthe plates away with a rather angsty attitude. I roll my eyes as I see Lilly reach for the check, a few bill she pulls out of her purse. Before I know it Lilly is grabbing my hand and we’re walking out of the diner. It seems darker outside, the sun had set, but regardless of that the cool air is welcomed. In comparison to the diner it’s like a cool bath being outside. Lilly doens’t automatically get into the car rather sitting on her hood. “Take me somewhere beautiful Eddie?” “Of course.”
We sat on the hood for only a few more moments. The sound of passing cars, and the crickets coming out to make way to much noise. She scooted closer, resting her head on my shoulder. With LED’s lights shining down it was hard to look up at the late nights sky to see any of the stars around us. We sat there for a few minutes. In utter and complete silence. “We should probably get going Lilly.” I said in the quite outside air. She hummed not moving until I did. “Okay let’s go Eds,” Lilly whispers to me.
We get into the car, and Lilly is automatically messing with the heating system. I curse that her seats aren’t connected in the front seat. I would love if she just slide over and was resting her head on my shoulder. I would love to have her touching me, I want that. So I make it happen. One hand on the wheel, and another reaching out. My palm up and waiting her touch. She seems to notice, and slips her hand into mine. Now our hands rest on the center console. Radio low, and playing country, Lilly starts singing along.
I can only catch a few of the lyrics, Lilly seems to know the whole song. Starting from the beginning and right up until the melody stops in the background. This process repeats. Until I make it to our destination she sings just under her breath. She’s beautiful and it’s hard for me to not look and stare at her. She’s somehow comfortable with me and so am I. The drive stars to slow down as I have to navigate the rock path that leads to the top of lovers lake. “We’re almost there Lilly. I hope you like it.”
Lilly opens her eyes which I hadn’t notice that they were closed. “Where did you take me, Eds?” Lilly asks, she doens’t let go of my hand. Not that I really want her to. I look down between at our hands, clearing my throat she lets go of my hand. The silence is different this time. Regardless though Lilly grabs her purse and out shuffles again to many things packed away in her small pocket book. She manages to grab onto the bag of small blunts. “Let’s go Eddie, I wanna start smoking.” Lilly says jumping out of the car.
“”By the way this is lovers lake, not that the name has anything to do with the… I just really like coming to this place not that it has changed much which is good.” The words ramble out of my mouth with great speed. Lilly giggles and grabs my hand as I get out of the car after slamming the drivers door. The head lights are turned off giving us a better view of the lite up sky. Stars that shine in their own way. Lilly throws down a blanket the grass pricking through the fabric. “This is comfy Lilly.”
It truly is, and Lilly only lets go of my hand to smooth out of the blanket and allow for the fours corner to be extended out fully. “Do you wanna pick or let me?” Lilly asks as she sit down next to me on the blanket. She’s digging in the bag with the blunts. “You can pick.” I say looking up towards the sky. The only thing that bring the light to our little area is the lighter, as she picks on for herself and lights it. Picking another for me and lighting it, before placing inbetween my lips.
She lays down next to me. Looking through the tree line. A large open space to let you see the lake down below. It’s all perfect, and in a perfect night like tonight you can see most of the stars reflect down on the lake. “It’s really pretty down here.” Lilly says, as a puff of smoke extends out and evaporates. It mights be cold but with Lilly laying down right next to me I’m so warm inside and out.
“It really is beautiful.” I say. I can’t tell if I’m talking about the lake, the sky, or her. Maybe it’s all of them at once. But I can’t manage to get my eyes off of her. She doens’t seem to care though, it’s like she enjoys being looked at, stared at. I don’t mean to be creepy and maybe she knows that. I take a few puffs of the blunt she handed. This one is fatter then hers. She seems to lost in her own world as she scouts up closer to me. I’m not laying down my legs extend out and allow for Lilly to rest her head in my lap. So close my hearts beats so fast.
We smoke until the blunts run out of smoke and there’s a floating feeling the whisps across the both of us. “Eddie what’s so special about this place?” Lilly asks as she turns her head to look up at me instead of out towards the lake view. I hum and think for a moment. “I used to come here whenever I was sad, mad, or hurt. This was the most peaceful place in all of Hawkins. The town wasn’t very nice to me whenI was around.” I get the words out before something of a teary mixture can get out.
“I feel like I remember your uncle Wayne talking about how the town could be horrible people to the things they cared to not understand, or simple didn’t like.” Lilly said she was still looking up at me, she moved in my lap her arms wrapping around my wasit. She was so warm, and she hugged me tightly. I worried that she might notice how uncomfortable I was growing in my jeans. Thankfully she didn’t say anything, so when she finally let go I took a breath. “I’m sorry people here are dicks.” Lilly says, I look down at her.
“Yeah but you’re not. You’re sweet probably more then you need to be to me. I have to thank you for everything you’ve already done for me.” I say. Lilly blushes and even in the night sky the moon glows down enough for me to see it. “Should we stay here?” I ask her. She shurggs her shoulders. “I don't have anywhere important to be tomorrow.” Lilly says off into the distance of the lake. “Coolio.” I get more comfortable. I start by complete accident gliding my fingers throug her hair. “Eds?” “Yeah.” I stop, “Keep doing that please Eds.”
I don’t stop not until Lilly’s breathe slows and my hands stops I shift and I end up fall asleep right there with Lilly in my lap asleep.

Excuse the story dumps but I have another one and it’s a headcanon as well as a piece of plot:
Like Gromit, Fluffles is skilled in music but hers is the piano as she used to play for Piella as a young pup, she doesn’t know much classical work but if he gives her a piece to read from, she can effortlessly recreate the song and sometimes they play together as a couple.
Now inevitably, Lady Tottington is visiting Wallace when she captures Fluffles practicing a song, in awe of the poodles mastery, Lady T insists she preform at a big dinner her ladyship is hosting, she does and some of Gromits favourite, still living composers are there as they’re friends and before leaving the same night reveal they have a show coming up (one Gromits booked tickets to already) and ask Fluffles to, again, preform, this time in front of hundreds of like minded music lovers, her husband included. Now Fluffles is, as you can guess, a little shy of being on stage like that, she’s never done it before and it’s been stressful enough playing for Lady Tottington and her fancy friends so this seems a massive push, one she doesn’t feel she can make herself suck it up for and considers straight up walking away from due to her nerves, and Gromit preforming with her isn’t an option because one: it’s her performance and he doesn’t want to invade her spotlight, and two: they have a violin player, Gromits good but not enough so they’re happy to boot the other guy off and replace him.
Come rehearsal, Wallace, Gromit, Fluffles, DL, Lady T and one of the few composers in the show all come to the theatre, Wallace is busy with bothering the staff and wanting to see if he can score a tour of the machinery, Gromits following him to keep his master out of trouble, the others are somewhere and so it’s just Fluffles and her bestie on stage, preparing for the number which is the opening song to the telling of a story (it’s basically the prologue to my opera singer HC where they replace her with DL and they pass out. It’s the first time they learn they can sing and the two preform together, leading to the later story, also known as the reprise to this one) and to warm up Fluffles plays some Adele since she’s one of her favourite singers and with it just being them, DL is comfortable enough to sing along, gaining the attention of the others.
To Fluffles relief, Lady Tottington insists the girls play as a duo, offering to even pay on top of what the theatre/composer are going to, DL is terrified, immediately turns down the idea but the need for money overall and Wallace’s approval forces them to reconsider (this is when they’re around just shy of 18 so it’s an early look into their attainment to him). Fluffles promises to be with them, also worried but the fact she has her friend there means she can do it so they can too (another defining moment for these besties).
In the run up to the big show, Wallace and Totty are getting all cosy and romantic, finally seeming to stoke the fire Wallace failed to light in COTWR, then on the actual night when everything seems set to go, DL has their first big panic attack, whether it’s from the realisation they’re going to be facing hundreds of people or just seeing Wallace in another relationship, whichever, they can’t sing, just the notion brings on another attack, all hope seems lost until Fluffles comes up with a solution, instead of singing, they can just sit in the rafters and narrate like the show originally planned for, it’s still them working together and DL can hide from all the people, they may not get paid as much but Fluffles needs her best friend there to preform. Lady T agrees, if a touch annoyed and the show goes on with rigorous success! Fluffles has her moment in the limelight, delivering a flawless rendition of the piece given to her, the composers are happy and Wallace is able to impress her ladyship.
It’s not until after we get the performance we were meant to as DL climbs down from the scaffolding in time to see Lady T and Wallace share a peck goodnight, something he’s never done before with any past lovers they’ve seen, the moment is a punch in the gut and as Fluffles is given the freedom to play herself out to an Adele song, DL finally joins her on stage for their own private show.
Easy On Me rings throughout the empty hall as DL sings through their pain, Fluffles tapping along to the melody, it’s a bittersweet scene shared by two friends as Wallace walks her ladyship to her waiting car, no idea of what’s going on inside the building until the very end. He never sees DL turn to face their friend with eyes full of tears, or hastily wipe them away as he returns to gather them, it’s a quiet secret that spans another 12 years of unspoken heartache and loyalty.

Refs for Naiakiir for art fight! Here's her page. I'm SilverSilverStars and she's #913180.
Character info and permissions under the cut!
Naiakiir ∙ Half-elf ∙ Bard ∙ 21 yrs old ∙ 5'2" ∙ She/her ∙ Cis girl ∙ Ace bi
Interests: Music, cats, sweet fruit, nature, helping others, soft colors, ruffles, making friends
Dislikes: Cruelty, selfishness, unclear expectations, pranks, people who aren't team players
Naiakiir is a total sweetheart! She just wants everybody to get along, to the point where she can't see an interpersonal conflict without trying to fix it. The one way to get on her bad side is to mess things up when she's trying to be diplomatic! Other than that, she's forgiving to a fault; she sees the best in everyone, and finds it much more difficult to stand up for herself than to mediate for other people.
She tries her very best to get along with everybody and make friends. She's naturally quite outgoing! Many people find her sweet and easy to talk to, but sometimes she comes off as annoying or try-hard instead. If she notices someone doesn't like her, though, she'll try to adjust her behavior to be less off-putting. The idea of someone not liking her is pretty scary! Her unthreatening friendliness is how she protects herself, after all - though sometimes that need to please gets her in more trouble than it prevents.
Her main instrument is the harp, though she also plays the violin and flute, sings, and dances. Music is the area where she truly excels! She's also fairly coordinated and athletic, as a dancer needs to be, but not exceptionally so outside of that context. In other areas, she tries to work hard when she needs to, but she just doesn't have a head for facts and figures and logic. She follows her feelings!
She loves flowers and kittens and strawberries and all sorts of soft cutesy things. Sometimes it's hard to tell how much of it is because she genuinely adores them, and how much is because she's trying to stick to her sweet and lovable aesthetic, but it's likely some combination of both feeding into each other. At the very least, cats really are her favorite animal!
Naiakiir is my go-to character for a lot of different games and universes, and I first made her up a solid dozen years ago, so she exists in many different forms! Even within the standard AU, I'm constantly changing her exact outfit and designing new iterations. The most important/recognizable parts of her design are the braid and the general color scheme / silhouette of her outfits, so if you've got those, you can totally change up the specifics! I love seeing different artists' takes and AUs.
Permissions:
Feel free to modify or combine outfits or design new outfits entirely. AUs are fine too (e.g. furry version of a human character, modern version of a medieval fantasy character, etc). I love to see other peoples' ideas and takes on my OCs!
Feel free to draw them interacting with different characters. (For Naiakiir, no sexual content, but romantic shipping is okay.)
Maturity filters: Moderate "fake" gore or cartoony blood ok, otherwise no moderate or extreme gore. Body horror ok. Nonsexual nudity ok. No sexual content for Naiakiir. Eyestrain ok. No realistic bugs or vomit, otherwise sensitive content ok.

HI TELL ME ABT THE GENSHIN GSNK AU
HELLO HELLO OK SO!!
to start the genshin gsnk au is also a fanfic which you can see here .there’s only 4 chapters so far but i will add more someday this is a promise
anyway i will tell you more about the characters in the au however when i was typing this out it got really long so. i’ll put it under a readmore hehe
the name of the au is monthly girls’ sangonomiya-san because kokomi is nozaki and lumine is sakura. kokolumi ftw (just started considering kokolumi as a ship like two months ago when i first started thinking abt this au)
anyway sangonomiya kokomi is a quiet highschool girl who secretly writes manga under the penname sango-sensei. her current project is called Heart-pounding! Love and Magic Time and it is set in a fantasy world where theres a rebellion against an oppressive regime and the main leads are a doggirl (hina) and a catboy (muuzuki. mew-zuki…) and they fall in love. so the plot is still mostly typical shoujo manga stuff it’s just that every so often kokomi will throw in detailed analyses of classic war strategies or philosophical musings on the ethics of propaganda or smth
lumine is kokomi’s classmate who had a big crush on her and decided to try and confess her feelings to her, except she messed up and kokomi thought she wanted to help with her manga, and the rest is history
gorou as mikoshiba…he’s the captain of the archery club and has a lot of admirers and he would be so cool were it not for the fact that he gets flustered sooo easily. he’s been kokomi’s manga assistant for some time now but somehow never noticed that she’s basing her heroine’s personality on him
arataki itto is seo except even more oblivious. he is still in the glee club and they call him “the glee club’s angel of music”. he lives with his grandma and his childhood friend kuki shinobu, who goes to a different school but works at a cafe where kokomi and friends sometimes go to talk about manga things. ofc shinobu has no context for any of their conversations ever
yoimiya as kashima ..not sure she’d be as “princely” as kashima but yoimiya’s so pretty and lively and always seems to know the right thing to say to a girl to make her day.. so yeah shes still the girlcrush of the school and the drama club star
kujou sara is hori. she is so tired of yoimiya getting distracted talking to girls in the hallways instead of showing up to drama club practice on time. she wanted to quit and join the archery club at one point but she stayed on as the drama club president because of yoimiya (but she will never tell her this). she’s kokomi’s background assistant so she’s spent enough time around her to know that beneath her quiet, ladylike demeanor, sangonomiya kokomi is a dumbass
thoma is wakamatsu, he’s one of the newer players on the basketball team and he’s a nice guy but a little naive. he got tired of itto showing up to “help” the team practice (the captain says itto helps them learn how to deal with “unpredictable” opponents) and thought that maybe he could get itto to be a better team player and less annoying. except of course itto thinks thoma just really wants to be friends. now thoma is stuck dealing with him all the time. oh, if only itto could be less boisterous and more considerate, like the glee club’s angel of music…surely someone like that would have a personality as gentle and angelic as his singing voice, right?
kamisato ayato is kokomi’s editor who shows up at her apartment in a hoodie and sweatpants to collect her manuscripts and then leaves usually without saying more than ten sentences. kokomi appreciates him greatly. kamisato is so professional. so punctual. so reliable. definitely a huge upgrade from her previous editor, Nightmare Editor Yae Miko, who kept suggesting ideas that were either incredibly simple or incredibly stupid and trying to get kokomi to put kitsune plushies on every page. to this day kokomi isn’t sure if yae actually read any of her manuscripts or not
kazuha as mayu.. kazuha is kokomi’s cousin who grew up in the same house as her so bascially he’s like a little brother to her. he’s a bit spacey and either speaks in flowery, poetic language or just doesn’t speak much at all. he spends a lot of time sleeping or staring into space because he’s saving his energy for kendo club
aether is lumine’s twin brother who goes to a different school than lumine. sometimes he wonders about his sister and her friends from school, especially that girl she mentioned having a crush on. he visited lumine’s school once and left even more confused than he was before he arrived
#aurelia chat#mailbox tag#from fl0wer-fiend#gsnk#genshin impact#OH ALSO i forgot to mention but#“where’s paimon in this au” paimon is the mascot on lumine’s hair ties#i need you to imagine that in this au lumine has sakura’s hairstyle but instead of the two big hair bows#lumine has hair ties with chibi paimons attached to them#that is all. thank you

If there is anything TS would fight to the end for it would be for defending her lyrics. Unsure how much it would help, but she also has audio of her spontaneously coming up with those lyrics with her co-writers. Played part of it in the GrammyPro interview which is her best interview.
That’s most definitely true, but she’s also trying to get these re-recordings done as fast as she can and this case is holding her up in her ability to release her version of “Shake It Off” and ultimately 1989 TV. I’m not sure how long she wants to wait until she can put that album out. The last thing that happened was that her team filed to dismiss the suit and it was denied. I’m not sure how similar it is to Dua Lipa’s case since it’s not centered around the melody or sound, but rather the lyrical structure and similarities with the lyrics. I believe that Hall and Butler would have to prove that she had knowledge of their song and purposefully pulled from it for SIO and that documentation she has could potentially help her out. Here’s one of the most recent articles on it: https://www.billboard.com/business/legal/taylor-swift-shake-it-off-files-dismissal-lawsuit-1235014182/amp/
#asks#anons#got something to say to you*#another tricky thing would be assembling a jury of her peers#who would that even look like? other songwriters? singers?#I have no idea if the fact that she sings it as players instead of playas has any impact at all#it’s just such a common phrase and they’re not the creators of it so I don’t know why they think they have any legs to stand on#she had another sio case get dismissed a few months ago#we know the amount of documentation she has so she could most likely bring that in#it would be funny if she were like ‘bring Stevie Nicks to the stand’ since she had a very similar phrase and could speak to that#it comes down to how quickly she wants this album out and what she’s willing to get to that point#maybe butler and hall dropped it for some reason (although I don’t know why they would) but who knows!#it just seems weird for her to be indicating towards its release if she legally couldn’t#also that interview is wonderful

Birthday Surprise - Barcelona Femení + Atlético Madrid x Reader
A/n: a random idea i had, it's not very angsty but i like the platonic team fics, they're cute. Also if you think I'm being specific with R's past birthdays, it's because they're my birthday experiences😅 also, if you haven't seen the live action 2002 and 2004 Scooby Doo movies, you should... and Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated 2010-13 is absolute gold.
PSA: there were probably more players than mentioned attending R's surprise party, I just find it easier to write a select view interacting with R at a given time...
///
Your hands clasped the railing of the balcony, heartbeat racing in your ears as you breathed in the evening air. Your breathing exercises you were taught in counselling were working a little, but everything was still a lot.
You almost didn’t hear the balcony door open, but it shut a little too harshly, so you heard Carmen curse under her breath for the slam before she approached.
“Hiding from me, mi dulce?”
“Hide from you? Never.” You gave her a watery smile, wiping at your face quickly as Carmen stepped closer, the concern in her eyes evident despite your attempts to hide how overwhelmed you were feeling.
“Lo siento… I’m sorry, it’s just, this is my first birthday party since I was seven. It’s a lot. Last year I ate takeaway alone in my room.” You quietly admitted, drawing patterns with your fingers on the railing and keeping your gaze there, instead of looking at Carmen.
Your former teammate raised an eyebrow, before recalling where you were for your birthday last year. After two years with Atleti, Barcelona took an interest. But they sent you on loan first, which explained your lack of birthday festivities last year.
It had taken a lot for your teammates at Atleti to find out when your birthday was, in fact it took them until your second year in but you didn’t do anything big back then.
Now your Barcelona teammates had gone out of their way for a big surprise party, inviting your Atleti teammates into the mix too. How could you not be overwhelmed right now?
She was careful as she watched you go through your breathing exercises again, recognising them from when you’d do them before more intense matches with Atleti.
“We can stay out here? It is quieter.” Carmen suggested, hearing you let out a laugh that was almost damp with tears.
“I don’t know who picked the music, but it’s nothing I’ve listened to.” You admitted, trying to hold back tears but it was too late, leaving Carmen to pull you into her arms, despite how much you didn’t want to ruin her outfit with your tears.
“Hey, where is the birthday person?” Jenni enquired, looking around as Alexia and Lola had disappeared to sort out the candles.
“Uh, crying into Carmen’s shoulder on the balcony?” Patri glanced around, almost not hearing Jenni’s question over the music when she spotted you and Carmen through the balcony door.
“They listen to this stuff?” Patri tried not to judge, but Mapi shook her head, getting her phone out to open her music app and find your account from her following.
“Not even the same genre.” Mapi deadpanned, finding one of your playlists to link to the bluetooth speaker.
It took a while for Carmen to comfort you enough for you to feel comfortable enough to go back inside, sticking close to the Atleti defender as Jenni pulled you into a side hug, kissing the crown of your head.
“Hola, Jenni…” you accepted the hug from your teammate, having known Jenni since your first year at Atleti, plus you were cold from being on the balcony for so long. You had a feeling Carmen was too. Especially when you ended up getting wrapped in a blanket that Carmen passed to Jenni.
“Feliz cumpleaños.”
“Gracias… oh um, is this the part where I stand awkwardly as everyone sings happy birthday at me and a sweet dessert that has been stabbed by many small wax cylinders that are lit on fire?” Your sarcasm was evident as Carmen chuckled, while Jenni, Mapi and Patri looked confused until they spotted Lola and Alexia with a dessert that had candles in it.
“Not like last year though?” Carmen pointed out, confusing the others even more as you tilted your head side to side in thought.
“Last year, I blew out a lighter held away from the dessert by a housemate I don’t talk to anymore.” You held the blanket further around you, avoiding eye contact with your teammates, past and present, “So, this is better, it’s just overwhelming.”
“Lighter?” Lola immediately looked concerned but you shook your head, cut off as Jenni pulled you into another hug and tried to kiss your head again, her lips getting the blanket instead as you squirmed slightly.
“You are loved.” The forward stated, holding you gently as you leaned into her, letting out a sigh.
“Okay, can everyone chill- oh look, the candles are melting wax everywhere!” causing a slight distraction, you escaped Jenni’s hold and headed into the kitchen to grab a drink.
Your face burned from all the attention you were getting, your skin prickling with heat.
Standing over the sink, sipping your drink. You didn’t hear the front door open, but you could hear a few more of your teammates arrive, instilling more anxiety in you.
Your stomach flipped as footsteps approached. You were lucky your teammates had figured out how you functioned rather quickly during your first year at Atleti. You could be anxious and a little awkward when too much attention was on you.
“We’re going to put a movie on, your birthday, your pick.” Alexia explained, smiling as you turned to face her with a quiet hum, already having a movie in mind. Your captain chuckled as you kept the blanket around your shoulders, walking with her out of the kitchen with a chaotic smirk.
“You might regret giving me the choice.” You teased, watching as your teammates, former and present, took over the living room seating.
Leila nudged you in the shoulder with her foot as you sat down on the floor in front of the main couch and swiped the remote from Lola to set up the tv.
“You know, if I had known about this get together, I would have brought the dvd. Leila, I am not your footstool.” You replied, smiling slightly as Carmen scooted off the couch to sit next to you and share your blanket, whilst Lola and Leila eventually let you two lean against their legs.
“What is this movie?” Jenni enquired, leaning forwards to hear your answer.
“A cult classic.” You smirked, turning your head as you and Carmen were joined on the floor by Mapi and Ingrid, everyone in the room watching as you set up the subtitles and hit play on the 2002 live action Scooby Doo movie.
“Happy birthday to me…” you murmured, humming along to the intro before Lola nudged you in the back, passing you a bowl of the dessert from earlier, sans birthday candle wax, and cutlery.
“Muchas gracias, for everything.” Thanking your friends for everything they had done, even if the original surprise idea had spooked you and led to you taking a breather on the balcony.
You were calmer than before as everyone’s attention was on the movie you had chosen, allowing you to breathe, resting the back of your head against Leila’s knee, eventually ending with everyone enjoying the chaos of the 2002 live-action Scooby Doo movie.
You were still awake by the time that the 2004 sequel had reached the credits. Staying still as you could as you realised a few of your teammates were asleep, carefully using the remote to turn the volume down and pressed play on the first episode of season one of Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated. Turning your head gently to glance around, you met Lola’s smile before you both went back to watching the show.
“Best birthday yet.” You whispered before getting shushed, Leila’s foot nudging you again as you realised she was awake, but your attention had shifted back to episode one, ‘Beware the Beast from Below’, completely entranced by the show.
It really was the best birthday yet for you.

Imagine the Ember Island Players creating a romance between you and Zuko which hits a little too close to home
You sat beside Katara and noticed how Zuko sat on the other side of her. Aang faltered, obviously wanting to sit there and you smirked as Zuko obliviously missed Aang’s look. Zuko had been with the group a few weeks now but his social skills still weren’t very good and you found it made for some very interesting interactions. His attempt at telling jokes alone made you smile every time you saw him for a full week afterwards and you found Zuko did a lot of things that amused you but apparently not so much the others. “I was going to sit there” Aang whined and Zuko shrugged “so? Just sit next to me”. Aang pouted and you laughed to yourself “here” you said standing up “take my seat Aang” and you moved so he could sit beside Katara. Katara was oblivious and you sat on the other side of Zuko chuckling at Aang’s blush. “What was that all about?” Zuko asked and you smiled “ow nothing you just almost ruined Aang’s evening”. Zuko frowned and went to ask what you meant when the lights dimmed so you knocked his arm shaking your head “i’ll tell you later now shhh”. Zuko folded his arm huffily but stopped talking. The play was wonderfully awful. As you hadn’t joined the gang straight away you knew you had time to just enjoy the first few acts and make fun of the way they portrayed all your friends. Plus what could they do to your character? You didn’t have any old flames like Katara or Sokka and you didn’t have an emotional backstory like Zuko or Aang. So you relaxed arms spread over the back of the bench and waited for *yourself* to make an appearance.
The second your actress walked on stage you knew it wouldn’t be good. They had your character all wrong! Your actress flirted with everyone and acted like a lovesick idiot. You didn’t think it could get much worse and then your character met Zuko’s.
“I’ll save you from the pirates” Zuko’s character purred to yours and you spluttered. “That...that wasn’t even me! That was Katara!” you whispered angrily. You looked to Zuko for confirmation who nodded “yeah I didn’t say that to you...and I certainly didn’t tie you up while staring at you like that”. “And I did not flirt with you like that either”. You both glared as your characters bonded and they actually invented Zuko letting you go voluntarily. As Zuko’s character stared off into the distance and said your name you heard Sokka and Suki wheezing from laughter while you simmered with anger and embarrassment. “I didn’t do that!” Zuko cried and you saw he was blushing vividly. That made you blush too and crossed your arms tightly “they better not stick with this theme”.
Of course they did. By the time act 3 had ended you and Zuko were living a star crossed lovers lifestyle in Ba Sing Sei. They again got you mixed up with Katara and said Azula kidnapped you to lure Zuko to the Earth King’s palace. The act ended with Zuko charging in to save you, offering his own life in exchange for yours, but Azula outmanoeuvred him and arrested him too. As the lights went up for intermission you and Zuko paused before exploding.
“That never even happened!”.
“I knew he was in Ba Sing Sei but we never went on a date”.
“Yeah that was a different girl”.
“And you did not fight with Jet over me”.
“I didn’t even know you knew Jet!” Zuko agreed and you both paused for air.
The gang all looked at each other before bursting into laughter. “What is so funny?” you cried and Sokka smiled. “We all know none of that stuff happened, we were there too remember?”. “Yeah so...can’t we rant?” you asked. “Well yeah but why get so mad about it? Are you trying to convince us or yourselves that the idea the two you flirted is so impossible?”. You and Zuko exploded again at the thought and Sokka and the others burst into laughter again. “All i’m saying is this is a lot of emotion to come from nowhere” Sokka smiled “now i’m going backstage so yell at each other or something” and he disappeared with Suki. Katara and Toph left for snacks and Aang went to the toilet leaving the two of you alone. “But i mean it is ridiculous” you muttered and Zuko nodded “utterly ridiculous”. “Sure we ended up together a few times” you shrugged “but that was completely by chance, it wasn’t like you were hyper-aware of me or vice versa”. “Yeah not at all” Zuko agreed but he wasn’t looking you in the eye for some reason. You stared at him confused and noticed his neck looked slightly red as if he was blushing. “Wait did you?” you asked suddenly “notice me more?”. Zuko looked up and he was indeed blushing deeply “what I....of course not! I never...I mean I did learn your name before anyone else’s but that’s because we spent that time together when I helped the pirates kidnap you and you wouldn’t shut up the whole night”. “Then why are you blushing so much?” you asked and Zuko shrugged “I don’t know I...it’s just them insinuating I like you. I’ve had it a lot”. “You have?” you asked amazed and Zuko nodded “when my uncle heard you’d seen me in Ba Sing Sei and that we’d reached a deal not to tell on one another he had this annoying smirk like i’d done it for any other reason besides the fact it was mutually beneficial. Then when I went back home Azula made it seem like me and you had a thing and Mai got jealous and started asking about you and I had to explain all our interactions and it was very awkward...she wanted me to reassure her by putting you down and making the idea seem impossible but I must have failed because she didn’t believe me. So I guess that’s why it makes me feel weird, everyone keeps telling me I act differently with you and I suppose I do but I have no idea if that’s because everyone keeps saying it or if I always have”. You nodded your head but were unsure what to say. “Well which one do you think it is?” you asked eventually and Zuko paused “what?”. “If you had to guess, would you say you act differently around me because of what people say about us or have you just always acted that way”. Zuko thought, staring at the ground and basically anywhere but at you, “i’m not sure but I guess maybe the second? They must have got it from somewhere I suppose”. “The second?” you asked surprised and Zuko’s blush returned vividly “I’m only guessing, I honestly don’t know”. You nodded your head and went to speak when the others returned which stopped you right in your tracks.
The second half of the play began of course with you and Zuko reuniting in the prison under Ba Sing Sei. You and Zuko did end up there together but you definitely did less staring at one another. You rolled your eyes as your characters began to passionately speak to one another stepping closer and closer. They finally reached one another and you laughed when your character began yelling at Zuko’s. “Ha maybe they got some things right!” you whispered to Zuko who nodded “you did yell at me a lot”. You smirked and went to apologise when Zuko’s character kissed yours. You and Zuko abruptly shot away from each other. “That is not even close to what happened!” you cried at the others who were all laughing. Zuko nodded “this is just slander! They didn’t even bother to try to get our characters right and anyone with half a brain would realise that!”. Someone shushed Zuko and he glared “shush yourself” he cried before storming from the room. He didn’t return for the rest of the play and honestly you thought that was probably wise. It got worse and worse. They still kept in Zuko’s betrayal of Iroh but changed it making you at the centre of Zuko’s struggle. He chose the crown and they made you react dramatically (even getting a love ballad moment). They then skipped forwards to Zuko at the palace, who got his own song when he realised he’d made the wrong choice. Your characters reunited not long after and promptly confessed their love for one another. Then you were both murdered by Ozai very much in line with the tragic forbidden lovers style.
“I mean I’m just glad she’s dead” you shrugged on your way out “anything to end that romance”. The others smirked when Aang paused “do you think Zuko went back home to the villa?” looking around for the angry fire prince. “No he knows we don’t know this place well, he’s probably just sat outside somewhere” you replied looking around but you couldn’t see him brooding anywhere either. When you walked out the front door and still didn’t spot him Aang frowned “okay everyone split up and look for him, meet back here in five minutes”.
You returned five minutes later to see Katara, Suki, Sokka and Toph all hadn’t found him either. “I wonder where he is” Katara frowned and you shrugged “he’ll be fine, that boy has nine lives”. “He didn’t in that play” Toph commented and you nodded. “True but that play was a mess and there’s one thing I still can’t get over. Zuko said his family and friends thought he liked me that’s where his side of this rumour started but in the play they acted like I encouraged him! Where on earth did they get that idea?”. The group all went quiet and you paused “what?”. “Well...I mean you kinda do encourage him” Sokka frowned and your jaw dropped “I DO NOT! When have I ever...”. “When we got kidnapped by the pirates you teased Zuko constantly and refused to be quiet until he spoke to you” Katara pointed out. “Yes but that was to annoy him not flirt with him!”. “Okay how about when June asked if you were his girlfriend and you replied he wishes instead of no?”. “I was joking” you shrugged and Toph smirked “or how about when I was sneaking out to see Zuko at the Western Air Temple and found you already on your way to see him? What were you popping in to see Zuko for huh y/n? Nice date by the campfire?”. “I was doing the same thing as you! I was going to see if he would tell the truth and given that I knew him best I thought I....”. The gang all erupted and you paused “what?”. “You know him best?” Sokka asked smirking and you nodded “that doesn’t mean anything it’s a fact”. “Ow is it?” Sokka asked and you nodded “It is! Fine if I don’t know him best what was his fake name in Ba Sing Sei?”. Everyone went quiet and you nodded “or how about how long ago he was banished from the fire nation? Better yet just tell me his parent’s names!” you cried. When nobody replied you smirked folding your arms victoriously “told you I know him best”. “Yeah you’ve definitely proved how much you know about Zuko” Suki smirked looking past you. You frowned before you heard someone behind you. You turned to see Aang had found Zuko and by the look on his face he’d heard everything. You blushed and looked down “Zuko we were...”. “Having a competition to see who knows me best?” Zuko asked mildly amused and you paused “well sort of...Sokka started it”. “No I didn’t” Sokka retorted “you declared you knew Zuko the best and when I asked if you were sure you started spouting your favourite facts about him”. “They’re not my favourite facts about him” you snapped and Sokka’s smirk just grew “whatever y/n” and he turned leading the way home. The others all followed and purposefully made it so you and Zuko were at the back. “Why were you talking about me anyway?” Zuko asked and you paused “ow nothing I was just er...trying to work out why the Ember Island Players thought I had a thing for you but the gang was not helpful”. “They couldn’t think of a reason?” Zuko asked innocently and you frowned “no they could actually think of lots of reasons, it appears similar to your family they were also under the impression I held a flame for you as it were”. “Ow really?” Zuko asked. He kept his voice flat but you could swear he was smirking slightly. “Stop enjoying this” you whined pushing him “it’s not funny, it’s embarrassing”. “Liking me is embarrassing?” Zuko asked and you paused “no I didn’t mean that, I just meant having all your friends claim you like someone when you can’t see it”. “You really can’t see where they’re coming from?” Zuko asked and you shook your head “nope not at all”. Zuko looked away and you frowned “I saw that, what did that look mean?”. “Nothing...” Zuko trailed off but you sighed grabbing him by the arm to make him look at you “I’m sick of everyone saying things about me for once just say it to my face!”. Zuko sighed “fine, I just think i’ve been honest with you but you’re not being honest with yourself”. “Not being honest?”. Zuko nodded “Yes, I admitted I could see where my family were coming from and how the rumours started but you’re acting as if they plucked them out of thin air!”. “Well maybe they did! I don’t see how any of our interactions could be interpreted as romantic”. Zuko didn’t look convinced. “You don’t think there’s some truth to what the Ember Island Players said? That maybe there is something here?” Zuko asked gesturing to the small gap between you. “No of course not! Do you?”. “No” Zuko yelled back and you nodded “fine! You are the most infuriating...” you started when Zuko grabbed you kissing you. You initially tensed at the sensation but soon melted into it. Zuko seemed to be trying to prove a point by kissing you passionately and not wanting him to win you kissed him back matching his intensity. Finally Zuko pulled away for air and stared at you “still not want to admit there’s something here?”. You stared at Zuko torn between admitting he was right and your pride. You were annoyed, frustrated, excited and exhilarated all at once. You were breathing rapidly, your cheeks bright red as were Zuko’s and neither of you made to move away. “I...” you started eventually “that was a good kiss”. Zuko nodded, his frustration melting away “it was, I enjoyed it...I’ve been wondering what it would feel like to kiss you for a while now”. “You have?” you asked and Zuko nodded “as annoying as it is to admit my family and friends were right, I like you and I have for a while”. You smiled despite yourself at how adorable Zuko looked all bashful and embarrassed. “I tried ignoring it for a while but then when I joined the group your friends all saw it straight away. Then tonight...the play was bad but I was frustrated that everyone seemed to see it apart from you the person I actually wanted to see it...you”. You looked down wondering how to reply “I’m sorry I bet that was really frustrating”. Zuko nodded “It was and I figured this was just one-sided but that...did you feel it too?”. Zuko looked so unsure and unlike himself it was endearing and gave you confidence. “Yes” you said shakily “after that kiss I can tell you it is definitely not one-sided. I like you too Zuko and probably have since the start”. “Probably?” Zuko asked and you sighed “I’m not good with my emotions, I can be oblivious to them so I can’t with certainty tell you it’s been going on as long as the play made it out to be but I know I like you. Right now in this moment...I hope that’s enough, I know it’s a shit confession and you probably wanted something more solid but I...”. Zuko began laughing and you paused “what’s so funny?”. “Something more solid? Y/n I’m on the run from the Firelord who is my father, my sister is hunting me to kill me and I could very likely be imprisoned for the rest of my life if Aang fails and that’s if i’m lucky...I’m not even sure if I have a future so trust me all I need is the present. To know in this moment right here you like me back” Zuko blushed but he stepped closer and took your hands “that’s more than enough for me”. “It is?” you asked and Zuko nodded “yes and if by some chance it becomes more long-term I’ll be very happy but for now I just want to enjoy this time with you”. You smiled and leant in to kiss Zuko again when someone coughed. “Hey what are you two doing?” Sokka called. Apparently the others had finally realised the two of you were no longer with the group and walked back to find the two of you as you currently were. Luckily it was dark so you moved away from Zuko but still held his hand. “Yeah we thought you’d gotten lost are you okay?” Katara called. Zuko sighed and you smirked at his expression. “We’re fine” you smiled “we were just talking and Zuko’s going to show me this beach he went to a lot as a kid”. Zuko’s eyes shot up to yours and he smiled. “You are?” Aang asked and Zuko nodded “yep, it’s not far from here so we won’t be long. You guys head back to the villa and we’ll meet you there” and with that Zuko tugged you away from the others. You smiled at Zuko and he smiled back at you “quick thinking, I didn’t think we’d get out of there so easily”. “You can thank me later” you replied when you heard Sokka gasp “wait are they holding hands? Y/n are you holding hands?”. “Run!” Zuko cried and you laughed but did as he said. You kept running even after Sokka’s voice trailed off and only stopped when you reached a sandy beach. You both collapsed on the ground and you turned to look at Zuko “did you know this was here or did you get lucky?”. “Totally the former” he smiled and you shook your head “you’re lucky I like you”. “I really am” Zuko agreed and he stared at your face tenderly. His fingers brushed your cheek and you smiled “what are you waiting for?”. “I have no idea” Zuko admitted and he leant in to reclaim the lost kiss from earlier. This time you weren’t interrupted.

HJDJSJH I remember reading about Artem's reaction to MC singing along to 34+35 or something like that (I think it was from artemelle?) So could I please request Vyn's reaction to MC/ his s/o singing along to 34+35 by Ariana Grande in this car? I'm just curious to hear your thoughts/headcanons you have, it doesn't have to be a full fanfic or anything. Cheers!
- Krypton
Thank you for feeding the ideas gremlin
I took a bit of liberty to move the setting to NXX Headquarters instead of the car
I'm not too used to headcanons yet so please take this fic
And yes since this is Vyn Richter we're talking about, this is (WARNING: NSFW, do not click, interact if minor etc etc)
Poor Rosa had a tendency to sing out loud the last song she listened to whenever she reached peak stress levels at work.
First, it manifested as a humming as she compiled articles of past cases in Artem's office.
As the hours went on, specifically after Artem had proposed alterations of approach with one of their more difficult clients, song lyrics start to slip out from time to time, as she starts singing under her breath.
Her singing voice wasn't unpleasant, not at all. Sometimes it was a welcome distraction. However she was still in Artem's office, and the eponymous main occupant of the office was also present, bearing witness to Rosa's singing of the word Fuck.
Can you stay up all night
Fuck me til the daylight
34 35
"Good lord." Artem watched Rosa blurt out a pathetic jumble of apologies, excuses, the I'm really sorry it's just that I'm having a bad case of LSS and I can't get it out of my head I'm sorrys before banging the door leading to his office closed behind her.
It took a few seconds to sink in before Artem, his face going beet red, buried his face in his hands.
===
NXX Headquarters. Meeting Room.
Rosa was sure that at 3 PM on a Wednesday, no one was using the premises, and she had exclusive use of the office for the day.
Having worked with the men for months, Rosa already knew their schedules to heart: Luke was away doing NSB duties until well into the evening. Marius would be babysitting the board members of his family conglomerate well until 7 PM. Vyn would be in the university doing lectures, and at 6 PM he would be doing his rounds in his research center. And Artem...she left him back in the office.
And so, she laid out her temporary workstation on the large table, and for good measure, turned up the volume of her laptop's music player.
Her fingertips swiftly flutter across the keyboard, a fierce wave of productivity crashing over her, now that she was comfortable with the fact that there was no one around to bear witness to her embarrassing tendency to sing out loud her stress, lyrics raunchy or not.
Baby you might need a seatbelt when I ride it
I’mma leave it open like a door, come inside it
Even though I’m wifey you can hit it like a side chick
Don’t need no side dick, no
This went on for at least 2 hours.
...
Aaaaaand Save. Rosa smiled, triumphant. It only took her a couple of hours to complete her revisions, with a few more to spare left to unwind.
Fuck me til the daylight
34 35
Means I wanna 69 with ya
Aww shit
It was needless to say that she felt proud of herself. Maybe I should hijack the NXX Headquarters the next crunch ti--
The sound of slow clapping emanated from the other end of the room.
No way.
With an acute feeling of dread thudding her heart against her rib cage, Rosa slowly turned to the source of the sound.
Dr. Vyn Richter was leaning by the open doorway, still wearing his white laboratory coat, a plastic bag of convenience store snacks hanging from his arm. His usual gentle smile was replaced by something quite...unreadable.
"How--how long you've been here?" Rosa stammered, now truly mortified.
"Long enough to hear you sing along to the song on loop at least three times." Still the same unreadable smile obscuring his golden gaze.
Yes, Rosa was now well and truly mortified.
"I do not understand why you should be so flustered. I am already well familiar with your tendency to sing out loud while you are experiencing work-related stress." Vyn's voice was slow and measured, not exactly devoid of warmth, but there was clearly something.
There would be some moments when Rosa--nor anyone else, for that matter--could not figure out what the man was thinking at the time. This would be one of those moments.
Vyn smiled as he placed his plastic bag of convenience store groceries on the table. "Or are you perhaps embarrassed at your choice of music?" He chuckled to himself. "There is no need for that. Do not forget that I dabbled with EDM onstage."
Without waiting for a reply from Rosa, he disappeared into the NXX server room.
A couple of minutes later, the lights in the headquarters had considerably dimmed, as if the main power source has been cut off with the emergency lights taking over the task of illuminating the premises.
Only the server room remained fully functional.
Rosa had noticed that the pilot light of her laptop has gone out as well. Is there a power outage? At this time?
"Vyn," Rosa called out, "I think the power's gone out--"
"Never you worry," Vyn said, his strangely serene smile still on his face as he emerged out of the server room. "That was me.
"I only switched off the main power." Hands in his pockets, he walked slowly towards Rosa. "Let us pick up the conversation again. Why were you so flustered upon finding out that I listened to your singing?"
His steps were slow, languid, and in the sudden dimness of the room his gold eyes flashed.
Just like a cat. A predatory cat.
"Well, um," Rosa was now confused as to why Vyn was insisting on getting an answer on such a trivial question. "Because the lyrics was...was on the lewd side...?"
"Hoh, interesting," Vyn's steps stop right behind Rosa's chair. He then grabbed the backrest of her swivel chair and turned it so she faced him.
"Vyn..." she gulped, her body becoming increasingly hot, the once light, comforting ambiance of having exclusive use of the expansive room now being replaced with a palpable tension caused by the man towering over her.
"If the power is out...the electronic doors wouldn't work, either...?" Rosa asked, slightly unnerved.
"Exactly. No one can go out." Vyn then slams his hands on the table behind Rosa, trapping her in his arms. One of his knees bend and rest on Rosa's chair, right between her thighs.
"And most importantly, no one can come in." His breath, panting ever so slightly, is hot and moist against her ear.
Rosa's eyes widen, finally realizing what was going on. Vyn was actually turned on by the song.
Before the thought fully sinks in Vyn's lips crash onto hers in a violent kiss, his tongue lashing hungrily against hers, their breaths mingling in their heady embrace.
Despite her initial confusion Rosa eventually found herself pulling Vyn by the lapels of his lab coat, returning his kissing with equally heated fervor.
She had yet to fully find out what exactly pushes her lover's buttons, but it was always a welcome break whenever something pushed one of his invisible little switches that turn the generally well-mannered, detached doctor to someone more...primal.
"If I tell you how I want to deal with my work stress, right now," Vyn murmured as he took a break from drawing wet, sloppy circles at the back of Rosa's nape with the tip of his tongue, "will you indulge me?"
Having reduced to putty in his arms, Rosa could only acquiesce. "Mm. Tell me?" She was subconsciously grinding her arousal against Vyn's knee.
Vyn licked his lips with his tongue sensuously, while maintaining eye contact with the woman who drove him quite mad.
"Let us do what you were...singing about."
===
The only sounds that could be heard in the dimly-lit NXX meeting room were muffled moaning and lewd, wet noises.
Vyn had assured Rosa that the power to the CCTV cameras were also cut along with the lights.
So there would be nothing to record the image of them lying on the cold, hard floor, with only Vyn's white lab coat spread out underneath them as a poor replacement for proper bedding.
There should also be nothing to record the unbelievably lewd manner she was grinding her sex against Vyn's hungry mouth, open just wide enough to let his tongue run along the length of her slit while two fingers gently nudge that sweet spot inside her in a maddening rhythm.
"Vyn..." Rosa moaned, feeling that tell-tale heavy, warm sensation gathering heavily in her loins.
The man underneath her pauses long enough to air out his need. "Please..."
Powering through the slowly-building wave of pleasure coursing throughout all her nerves, she lowers her mouth and wraps her wet lips around his shaft, feeling it twitch against the ministrations of her tongue.
She then lifts her lips just enough to let her tongue swirl around Vyn's tip, as her saliva-wet hand strokes the length left neglected by her hot lips.
"Please...do not stop," Vyn's voice was already strained with sheer need, his own hips now grinding against her mouth.
Vyn then switches up the licking to sucking and oh did that send Rosa over the edge with a cry--she was about to momentarily let go of his hardness when his hand firmly pushes her head back down, as he violently shot his seed directly into her throat.
===
The next day, Luke and Marius were going over the control panel in the NXX server room.
"Yeah. I really can't tell what happened for the main power to be cut." Luke said as he inspected the panels, running diagnostics trying to troubleshoot the cause of the mysterious power interruption that was isolated to the NXX meeting room only.
"At least the servers weren't affected." Marius crossed his arms. "This hasn't happened before. I wonder..."
"I will speak with the utility contractor later about this matter," Vyn said as he lifted the little vacuum robot out of its spot just right underneath one of the server racks. "Oh? This is a rather odd place for this thing to wander in."
Marius's brows furrowed. "Strange," then to Luke, he asked "Do you think this little guy may have tripped over something and caused the power to go out?"
"Mm. Dunno, can't say anything definite yet."
"Ah, poor little thing," Rosa cooed at the vacuum robot as she took it from Vyn's arms. "Being blamed for something...naughty."

Thank you for answering my question! I was actually referring to the end of the episode, when the hippie is singing once everyone is free from the cave? She blushes at the end of the song and I just noticed it now :)
Oh, okay. I didn't remember that, either, but looking at screenshots and the transcript, I think it's worth noting that Sokka also blushes when the hippie guy is talking about love and hugs him.
Does Sokka have romantic feelings for this man? No, but it is an embarrassingly intimate situation, the nomads sing about love, then Aang glances at Katara
And that's when Katara blushes.
Which, okay, I mean, they DID kiss. It would be weird if she didn't have any sort of feelings about it. Which is what I said before, that a big problem with their relationship is that the show never resolves these feelings by having them talk honestly to each other about them. Aang glancing at her is acknowledging what happened, which kind of puts her on the spot so she'd probably blush regardless of how she feels, just like Sokka blushed when the dude suddenly hugged him. But it was Aang who facilitated that interaction and Katara's blush can easily be read as embarrassment.
And then they never talk about it.
The only time they talk about their relationship is when Aang accuses Katara during Ember Island Players and demands to know why she isn't his girlfriend. And like, Aang wants to know why she hasn't gotten the message when this is the very reason why she hasn't. Because relationships don't happen out of thin air. You actually have to talk to the other person.
And I know, I know. I know why they do this. But this is literally why a lot of people react badly to KA. The idea that a girl kissing you or blushing or even expressing feelings for you gives you ownership over them is incredibly troubling. The idea that girls are expected to just throw themselves at boys and if they don't, it must be her fault, is gross meninist logic.
The other problem is that the Cave of Two Lovers scenario can be replaced with any two characters and everything would be exactly the same. They would still find the story of Oma and Shu, figure out that they need to "trust in love" to escape and might come to the same conclusion, that they need to kiss. They would still be embarrassed about it. They would still blush afterwards. Obviously it was Aang and Katara because the narrative wanted it to be, but it's a contrived way of getting these two characters to kiss and highlights the narrative problem of the show not knowing how to develop Aang and Katara's romance organically.
Add to that that the Oma and Shu symbolism seems to point to Zuko - not only with how zutara parallels with Oma and Shu and the framing of the catacombs scene in such a way that it is nearly identical, right down to the interrupted moment of intimacy, but also the fact that in this episode, Zuko has a moment with Song, a girl from the opposite side of the war - then it's not surprising that many people came away with the idea that maybe Katara should be kissing Zuko instead.
