Pairing: Jenna Ortega X Fem!Reader

Ughhh this was so cute to write! I hope y’all like it!🤍✨

———

Your first ever role as an actress was a blast, you didn’t expect all the fame that came with it and most particularly all the love from fans and from one person in particular. Jenna Ortega. You two had met on set of her new series “Wednesday”. You portrayed one of the member of nightshade and even though you were a side character you still got some importance and some recognition for the role you portrayed. You have always admired that girl, and even though you two didn’t really know each other at first, when you shot your first scene together you started spending more time together and grew real close.

You would spend a lot of time in her trailer at night after the recordings finished and you two had grown really intimate with each other. She would snuggle up to you and viceversa, you eventually developed some feelings for her and even though you were too shy to admit them, you didn’t have to because she was the first one to kiss you. From that day on you got together and started out your relationship together. She had been pushing a lot to make your relationship public, but no one knew you a lot yet, you were afraid of being judged by her fans so you always asked her to not make it public just yet, at least wait until people knew you better, and she always respected your decision.

Fast forward to today, you were going on your first premiere ever. The show had been out for about a week now, of course everyone had already binge watched it a lot of times. You and Jenna were about to leave her apartment and you stood nervously in the hall as you waited for Jenna. “Honey are you almost done? The premiere starts soon! You don’t want to be late right?” You called for her nervously, and you heard her laugh from the other room before catching up to you. Your jaw immediately dropped as you saw her coming out of her room, god she looked gorgeous. Of course she was wearing her black outfit with the black thin veil on her head. “Wow… you look-“ you put your hands on her waist as you gently pulled her close to you. “You look amazing” she smiled at your comment, gently biting her own lip as she looked at you as well.

“Have you seen yourself? You’re like, the most stunning person I’ve ever seen. No wonder why you’re my girlfriend” she said putting her hands on her cheek. That made you blush a lot and in this position you couldn’t look away. She loved making you blush. You were wearing a white top with a black skirt, nothing too elegant as you weren’t the protagonist of the night, your girlfriend was. Not that you minded that, you weren’t one for attentions. “Come on let’s go” she took your hand as you headed to the door “Jenna wait,” you stopped and she turned around to look at you, brows furrowed in confusion. “We’re not… gonna go public tonight, right?” You asked, fidget with your own fingers in anxiety and looking worried.

“Honey…” Jenna said, once again walking closer to you and taking your hand gently. “We’ll have to eventually-“ you interrupted her soon enough “I know that Jenna, but please, not today..” she looked at you with pleading eyes, which only led you to talk again “it’s the first time they see me, it’s the first time people want to interview me and I’m already nervous for this, please just let’s not add to it with going public. No one knows me well and-“ your girlfriend interrupted you again, seeing you were about to panic. “Babe, calm down” she squeezed your hand, making you look at her “we’re not gonna go public, okay? I get it that you’re nervous but really the interviews are not a big deal, you’ll get used to it” she smiled and you nodded having calmed down a bit. Shen pulled you in for a sweet kiss before heading to the premiere, in two different cars as to not get noticed too much.

When you arrived, of course you didn’t get much recognition, having portrayed a side character, but there was still a small group of people that loved you and that yelled in admiration when you got out of the car. If you wanted to get used to this, you knew you’d had to stop being shy and get used to all of this. However at some point everyone else started arriving too, and you went and said hi to them with a small hug, including your girlfriend as you didn’t want to draw too much attentions on the two of you. Then, you decided to stop by a few people and talk with them, take photos with them so that you’d get used to it. However, all of you got soon called to the carpet to start taking pictures. You didn’t know how to pose, but you followed everyone else and eventually posed. You were standing right behind Jenna and all you wanted to do was turn her around and kiss her.

Eventually after the pictures with all of us were taken, we were split up for single photos. “(Y/N) over here please!” This sentence kept ringing in your ears the whole time, people wanted to take photos with you and you didn’t know where to look, but eventually ended up posing for the cameras like you were supposed to and looking in different cameras for each pictures. This was all too overwhelming for you, the confusion, the too many people. You didn’t like this one bit. This is why after the last Photo Booth you quickly ran backstage, trying to calm down your nerves. You drank a whole bottle of water and fixed your hair as you tried to breathe slower, but it was getting hard.

“Hey Jen, have you seen (Y/N)? Journalists have been looking for her but she’s not around” Emma asked her when she saw Jenna finish up with her interview. Of course the cast crew knew about the relationship and also knew that you wanted to keep private, so she talked quietly. “The last time I saw her she was on the carpet taking pictures, isn’t she there?” She replied her own questions after looking over at the carpet and seeing no one. “I’ll go check backstage” Emma nodded at her statement and watched as Jenna went backstage. She did find you, but you were in the middle of a panic attack.

“(Y/N)? Hey, calm down love” she said walking over to you as she took your face in her hands, making you look at her as she saw the panicked tears in your eyes. “What’s wrong?” She asked quietly. She hated seeing you like this, it didn’t happen often. You were too panicked to even talk to her so she started whispering sweet nothings to you and trying to calm you down, all while the journalists were looking for you outside. “Do you feel like you can talk to me now? It’s okay if you can’t” she reassured you, but eventually you managed to talk. “Jen this is too much for me, there are too many people, I don’t know how to act, it’s so strange and different for me I don’t know how to deal with it” you started, this whole time Jenna kept a hand on your cheek, gently caressing it to calm you down.

“Love I completely understand how you feel… my first time to a premiere was like this too. I know how to help you” she said and gave you a small smile as she fixed your make up that had smeared with the crying. “Now we’re gonna go back outside together. If you get called for interviews I’ll make them with you. I won’t leave you alone okay? I’ll be there the whole time.” She suggested. It took you a while, but eventually you accepted and went with her, holding hands until you were completely outside, people started cheering for the both of you again. “Can you handle it?” She asked nicely and you nodded, taking a deep breath as you went for your first ever interview.

“Well good Evening (Y/N)! You look gorgeous!” The interviewer said. You were aware that interviews at premieres were like this, but hearing the words directed at yourself was very much different. You blushed and smiled brightly as the interviewer made compliments to Jenna too. “Thank you so much, it’s nice being here” you said smiling as you looked around. “And it’s nice having you here! Am I right saying this is your first ever interview as an actress and on set with THE Jenna Ortega?” The woman asked. She was being very nice, you were quite comfortable with her questions. “Yes this is my first ever interviews. I have to say that I didn’t expect all this recognition but it’s really nice actually. It was also my first time on a tv show set, but it was amazing. Everyone was amazing, too. I made really good friends with everyone, especially with Jenna” you said looking at her who was now at your side. You stared at her briefly, glancing from her eyes to her lips and viceversa.

“She’s become kind of like my best friend, that is” you said as you turned back to the interviewer. “She is the nicest person I ever met I have to say” she smiled at your words and stared at you back in awe. “You said you didn’t expect this much recognition right? How is that?” The woman asked. “Well, I’ve never acted in my life before the show and even if I portrayed a side character, the experience taught me a lot. Usually side characters don’t get loved a lot, but mine did and it’s lovely because that means that I did a great job, and I’m so proud of that and of what that made me” you nodded as you spoke your words. The interview continued for a while more and the woman started asking more personal questions.

“So, people here want to know, are you in a relationship with anyone at the moment? Because a lot of fans have been simping over you and they want to know” the question made you blush and stare at Jenna. You didn’t know how to reply to that and you smiled awkwardly. “Well uh- it’s…” you looked at Jenna once again, who eventually came into the view of the camera and kissed you softly, caressing your cheek. After a while she pulled back and you looked down embarrassed. “Yes, she’s in a relationship. With me if you didn’t understand that” Jenna said right after the kiss. the interview finished like that as you heard the fans around you scream and cheer in excitement. Your cast members were happy as hell too. Jenna being the happiest of them all as you had turned as red as a tomato

When the night was over you two stepped in the same car and the autist started driving you towards your shared apartment. “Jen you’re so freaking crazy!” You told her as you laughed and jokingly pushed her shoulder. She looked at you with nothing but love. “Well I made you less nervous didn’t I?”

Chapter 4

My week has already started off somewhat chaotic, I nearly missed my flight from the last town, and I had a bit of difficulty with the rental place. After that was handled, and I settled, I finally got to do one of my favorite things, go to the salon,and get my hair done. After a month and a half, I’m finally getting a new weave installed. Luckily, our next stop was New York City, so it was nothing for me to meet up with my stylist, Peach, at her salon. I pulled up to the suite with an overnight bag containing a change of clothes, a hair accessories bag, a pair of sweat suits on, and my hair piled up on the top of my head. From afar, I caught a few men with cameras pointed at me. I sigh and place my shades over my eyes, trying to pay them no mind. Paparazzi in my face is something I’m used to considering my time in the WWE, but there’s a constant nagging in the deep recesses of my mind, wondering about the possibility of a bad shot and a misleading story concocted from it. Still, my lips tilt in a smirk giving them just a little something to work with.

Peach’s set up is so professional, the front has chairs lined up against the windows where customers can sit and wait. The receptionist desk is made out of gray, and white marble. Pictures of beauty icons lined the walls of the hallway that led to the back where the shampooing, and styling stations were. The receptionist at the front greeted me, and had me sign in. It wasn't long before I was being taken back by a shampoo girl to get my hair washed, blow dried, and then braided for the wig. By the time I actually sat down in Peach’s chair, the process was more than halfway over. She smiled at me through the beauty mirror in front of us; this was my favorite part of my work week, and I never take this time for granted. This is probably the only other time I don't talk in depth about wrestling, which I’m absolutely grateful for. Sometimes it feels like the gig is 24/7, but going to hair and nail appointments was one of the more mundane things that kept my brain intact.

“What are the plans for today?” She asked, guiding my head back to lean into her chair, helping me get comfortable as her work takes time. I inhaled deeply – the first thing that popped into my brain was Shaun. Tonight was our first official date, although he didn't actually call it a date, but hanging out with someone you're consistently having sex with is definitely a date to me.

“Apparently…” I hesitated in telling her, only because I could already guess her reaction. “I’m going on a date.” And without having to look at her , I knew Peach’s face was set in a grim, almost unimpressed expression.

“Ew, why?” She then caught herself, not wanting to sound too put off, “Wait, who with?” She was suspicious of my answer; she’s made it evidently clear she doesn't really agree with my choice in men. Especially since she found out about Nic and I via twitter. I think she just naturally assumed I’m surrounded by jackasses and she’s partially right.

I peek an eye open, taking in her reaction, “Remember my co-worker, LA Knight?”

“Stupid name.” She mumbled, rolling her eyes, but nodding her head. I couldn't help but let out a chortle of laughter. It’s understood between us that she just cares about me, and wants the best. Which, if you don't have a friend that’s willing to beat someone's ass, or at the very least tell them off in a very passionate manner, then are they really your friend?

“Hey, be nice, that’s a future Hall of Famer you’re insulting.” I playfully scolded her, only for her to give me an indescribable response somewhere between a mumble and a grunt. I rolled my eyes this time, “Well, he asked me on a date a few days ago, and honestly I’m kind of nervous because it was so, like, left field, ya know?” I replayed the scene in my head, finally being able to reflect on that day from a birds eye view. Truth be told, I still wasn't sure if I wanted to entertain the idea of us dating, even if it was just meant to be ‘fun’ as he described it.

She’s quiet for this run as well, letting me ruminate and maybe taking in the situation herself. “You wanna know why you’re nervous?” Peach asked, voice softening a bit, and suddenly I was all in, willing to listen to a married woman, and anything she had to tell me. “He likes you – more than a situationship, and more than a friend. I mean, he might be in love with you, Mavis.” She said earnestly. I felt my face heat up, and my eyebrows scrunched together as denial fought its way through.. It is something I thought about, but I wanted to be wrong.

“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?” I asked awkwardly, my voice cracking, eyelids widened. A chagrin expression morphing onto my face. Peach pressed her lips together, a stern expression written across her features; we stared each other down through the mirror, and off course I broke first. Letting out an uncomfortable kind of laughter to fill the silence, I bit my lip when I realized she wasn’t laughing with me.

“And you knew that didn’t you? But you said yes anyways.” She confirmed without me having to. A part of me felt bad, because the truth of the matter was, if I cut off Shaun I felt like I won’t have anyone else to entertain me.

“What happens when you fuck around and actually like him back when it’s too late? Like, I love you a lot but, is this a game you really wanna play?” Peach asked, her tone firm, and serious now. Boy, did she always ask the hard hitting questions. “I’m not getting on you, it’s just something to think about. Either way, it’s your choice what you do.” She said softly after observing how my lips dropped into a frown.

I sighed heavily, deciding to let it go for now, I turned my attention towards my stomach. As soon as I thought about food, my stomach grumbled, and I didn’t wanna eat out again since I’m going out with Shaun later. Maybe just something to knock the edge off? “Hungry? I’m buying.” I offered.

“Sort of, I kinda just wanted a smoothie or something, though. My boyfriend made dinner at home,” Peach grinned letting me steer the conversation elsewhere. she already had her phone out scrolling for open restaurants nearby, and my stomach growled louder at the thought, causing us both to burst out in laughter. We took a small break, waited for the smoothies, and while we waited I decided to play a silly game of smash or pass with Peach. She passed all the options; this set a record for the most eyerolls in one conversation, but then we got around to Randy.

“Please, for the love of God, don't say smash, Mavis.” Peach deadpanned, a light hearted, yet disappointed expression etched across her face. I opened my mouth to explain, but she immediately cut me off. “Isn’t he supposed to be your mentor or something?”

“And you’ve never wanted to fuck your teacher?” I argued back without hesitation, she couldn’t contain the smile that broke out onto her face and she threw her head back.

“You know what, am I even surprised? I know more about that man than I should, no thanks to you,” she grumbled, only pausing her rant to check the notification on her phone, indicating our food had come; Peach ordered us both smoothies, a nutella waffle, and some mozzarella sticks. We nibbled, and chatted for a little while longer, then Peach got back to work on my hair. By the time she actually finished, the sky turned a pink lemonade hue outside, and the foot traffic on the streets began to pick up.

“Wow, Peach, another banger, this looks amazing!” I ran my fingers through the grape colored curls gently, then turned to wrap my arms around her. We squeezed each other tightly, “ Hey do you mind if I use your bathroom to change my clothes real quick.”

“Are you gonna ask me every time to use the facilities you help to keep up?” She asked playfully, her lips curling up into a grin, but she pointed me in the direction of the back rooms where the bathroom was located. I grabbed my duffle bag, then slipped inside, and put on the light. I made sure to flick a few pics of myself, before and after my outfit change. I quickly opened Instagram to post them, not thinking anything of it. I packed my worn clothes into my bag, collected my things, then walked back into the salon. I made sure to hug Peach one more time, and swiped my debit card on the way out the door. I hopped into my rental, then made my way back to the hotel.

With the time I had left, I wasn’t really in the mood to wear a full face of makeup, so I decided to strategically draw on a sharp batwing eyeliner. Just as I was applying my second coat of mascara, the phone rang and I nearly jumped out of my skin. “Ugh.” I groaned, reluctantly I picked up my phone, it was Shaun. “I almost stabbed myself in the eye thanks to you.” I grumbled, from his side of the video call, it looked like he was already outside the hotel.

A bright smile stretched across his face, I hated how handsome he was sometimes, it made it hard for me to deny him. “Don't worry, doll face, you wont need ’em where we’re going,” he joked. The scenery behind him changed as he walked into the hotel, smiling to anyone that passed him by. He was damn near glowing – I don't think I’ve ever seen him this happy before.

“A doofus you are.” I quipped, to which he snorted. There’s a tapping on my door and I wasn't surprised to see him on the opposite end of the threshold. His eyes softened upon seeing me. I hung up the phone on my end, and threw my arms around his neck. He seemed stunned by my eagerness. Shaun and I communicate a lot outside of work; even when we’re not physically together, we’re texting, or talking on the phone all day. This makes me feel uber important considering he’s usually busier than me at the moment with the company pushing him to be a made man, so he’s been booked a lot more than usual. It made me tear up thinking about it, I guess I was staring too long, Shaun held me at arms length observing my expression.

“Hey, you okay sweetheart?” With one hand gently squeezing my shoulder, the other held my fingers to his chest. My free hand wrapped around the back of his neck, and my fingers dug into his honey blonde hair. The corners of his lips curled upward into a tiny smile, and his eyelids drooped slightly. A while ago, we discovered that’s one of his ‘spots.’ I tilted my head to one side, my smile mirroring his.

“I’m just so happy for you, ya know? The company is really trusting you to be in a top position. And all of your success – you know how I love to watch my friends win, Shaun.” My voice just above a whisper, a sparkle of pride flashed in his eyes. He let out a breath, and quickly deflected the attention to me, like I knew he would.

Kissing me on the nose, he said, “Well, I’m just trying to keep up with you, little miss. hottest thing to rise out of NXT, little miss. First, women’s money in the bank winner. Now, she’s up on main roster, rolling with the big dogs, face on posters, and cups. Nike shoe deals, cameos in tv shows, music video vixen…I could go on, she’s got an extensive resume already.” He listed off my accomplishments, all those things were nice, and I’m grateful for all my opportunities, but I always felt as if I was the background character in my own life.

“So I guess you could say, I’m a…Megastar.” I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively, and Shaun threw his head back, chuckling deeply. He was able to recover quickly, then leaned down and kissed me on the corner of my lips.

“Yeah.” My impression of LA Knight always won him over, even if it was stupid, and sometimes a far cry from what he actually sounded like. I was a fan before anything else, which he found endearing, thankfully.

“Alright, save some fun for the actual date, huh?” Shaun unwrapped himself from me so that I could quickly run to grab my purse, and phone. With our arms linked, we walked out only to be stopped shortly by a few of our inner circle. Xavier turned just before we crossed each other, tailed by Tyler Breeze and Big E.

“Damn! New wig, who dis?” Big E called out to me, the boys slapped hands with Shaun before they gently brought me into a side hug. Tyler is wholly responsible for Shaun and I ‘bumping’ into each other at that christmas party. Now, whether Tyler shoving me into Shaun was actually an accident or not… well that was still debatable. While Big E and Shaun were busy making some small talk, Xavier and Tyler pestered me.

Tyler slapped me on my shoulder, a grin on his lips, “I bet right about now you’re thinking, ‘gee, I’m so glad Tyler accidentally bumped into me at that party’ and to that I say, you’re welcome.” Xavier instantly bubbled up into giggles, which initially I wanted to be annoyed by Tylers statement, but Xavier’s laugh is so undeniable, and contagious.

“Whatever, doofus.” I rolled my eyes, by that time, Big E, and Shaun had rejoined our group. He threw his arm around my shoulder, I could feel my face heat up by the way the guys looked at me. Tyler was ready to burst, and Xavier wasn't too far behind him. They were the big brothers I never wanted sometimes. Shuan and I haven’t ever been this open with any form of affection, maybe a love tap here or there, or a playful flirt. But tonight, he’s practically waving a banner around for everyone to see and for some reason, it was making me anxious..

“Love to stay and chat fellas, but there’s a steak with my name on it.” Shuan’s light hearted tone put me at ease, reminding me that these are my friends, and that if I could trust anyone, it would be them. Probably with my life if I’m being honest. At last, we were alone again, walking through the hotel lobby and towards the parked car. Thankfully, the sun had gone down, and a nice breeze blew through the air. Shaun opened the passenger door for me, and I made sure to plant a soft kiss on his cheek before getting in.

I checked my phone as I settled in. Randy, had apparently he had been calling me all day. A few hours ago he had sent me a few texts. I bit my lip, guilt tightened in my chest – how could I have forgotten about him?

12:30 pm Randy🐍: Hey kid, ready? I’ll swing by in a little bit

12:40 pm Randy🐍: You forgot about training, didn't you?

1:15 pm Randy🐍: C’mon Mavis, you’re killing me, call me later. We’re gonna have to talk about this.

I puffed out air from my cheeks, nothing worse than being scolded by your idol, Randy Orton at that. I had been concentrating on the screen so intensely that I didn't even realize I never asked where the hell Shaun was taking me. “Umm, so you never told me what our date was.” I finally spoke up, it wasn't out of the ordinary that we sat in silence, I appreciated the fact that he didn't take my constant dissociating personally.

“Boy, I thought you’d never ask.” He joked, he glanced at me for a moment, a grin on his lips. One hand on the steering wheel, the other on my thigh, and hiphop music in the background. My heart thudded, I felt like a girl in one of those cheesy romance comedies, like I was Kate Hudson or something. Right when I think I’m out of the trenches with this man, he somehow reels me back in with the simplest of things, and I wonder if he knew that. Because besides Nic, I’m not exactly known to keep men around that long. Shaun’s been here almost a year.

“Shut up.” I rolled my eyes halfheartedly to which he chuckled.

“It’s a surprise, I think you’d like it though, it’s a little place where you can really let your star power shine.” He said vaguely, leaving me with more confusion than before, but soon my questions were answered. We pulled into a packed parking lot, the front of the building said ‘Melodys’ in bright red led letters.

My heart pounded with excitement, and a little bit of nervousness. I recognize this place from when it came across my Instagram timeline two weeks ago. “Shaun! Why didn’t you tell me we’re going to karaoke? I would have been more prepared.” I groaned, no matter how hard I tried to rack my brain for the perfect song, there were simply too many for me to choose from.

“Sorry man, I just assumed you’d have one, everyone has a karaoke song!” He claimed, to which I went silent for a moment, and he looked at me expectantly.

“I’ve never been before.” I said quietly.

“What?” He seemed genuinely surprised by this.

“Yeah.” I whispered, now feeling embarrassed under his gaze. My eyes tore away from his, no longer able to hold his stare. He seemed genuinely shocked by this information.

“I never knew that. I figured we’d go and just have a blast.” His large hand held mine gently, our fingers laced together, and with his other hand he grabbed me by the chin turning my face back to him. “We can always go somewhere else if you want—”

“No, I wanna do this. I’ve always wanted to go, so maybe this is a sign.” Then I leaned in, and placed a sweet kiss on his lips. Even when I pulled away he lingered, eyes still closed, and lips slightly puckered.

“I’m waiting for another one.” He mumbled, the corner of his mouth turning up slightly into a lopsided grin, and I couldn’t help my giggle. I rolled my eyes, but granted him one more kiss, this time more heated than the last. I pulled him closer by the back of the neck, his tongue caressed the inside of my mouth, and caused me to moan into him.

Reluctantly we both pulled away for air, “We could always make a bed out of the backseat.” Shaun offered, his tone suggested he was joking, but his eyes said otherwise. I reached my hand out to his check, my thumb swiped over his lips cleaning the gloss I smeared across his mouth.

“And waist this outfit? Nah nah.”

“I love it when you say my catchphrases.” He breathed, still leaning forward to catch another kiss, but I moved away before he could swoop in. He rolled his eyes, turned to get out of the car, and walked around to my side. He opened the door for me, took my hand, and helped me out. Our lips pressed together again before I could even process him pushing close the door behind me. My lips parted in a gasp as his hands moved to grip at my hips, pressing me back onto the cool metal of the car. My hands moved to his neck, that spot where he liked, weaving my fingers into the hair on the nape of his neck. I wasn't sure what had gotten into him, but I was a long way from arguing with him. I was pulling him closer against me, searching for a lazy sort of dominance in the way our tongues seemed to collide. His thumbs moved sinuously over my skin, feeling warm despite the layer of clothing between us. My knees started feeling weak. Something about the way his hands were caressing me, and making out in a dim lit parking lot felt scandalous.

“Shaun,” I murmured, pulling away enough to let my words out, “I'm wearing a skirt.” I whispered through kisses that were turning more ravenous as we went on. I did nothing to stop him, even when I felt his hand squeeze my thigh, and slide up the back. I lifted my leg, wrapping it around his hip, and his fingers crept up further, disappearing underneath my skirt.

“I know.” He said playfully, and my heart jumped when I felt his fingers graze me over my panties. A soft caress at first that had me keening, then a little harder, causing my vision to blur with every intense beating of my pulse. I slur out his name, forgetting my own momentarily as I leaned my head against his neck. His fingers stroked up and down before tugging at the satin and pulling the material to the side. Cool air sent a shiver up my spine, tightening my nipples almost painfully. If I hadn't been holding onto Shaun for dear life, I fear not much would have stopped me from pulling at my shirt and begging his mouth towards the pointed tips. His palm cupped me in a way that made me think it was possible he felt every throb of my clit against his skin. My breaths were labored against his skin, and his soothing words felt akin to nonsense with the way I was struggling to stay focused. “Sweet girl,” he murmured into my soul, “Did you wear this tight little thing in hopes of me doing this tonight?” I bit down on my lip to stop the startled noise threatening to escape when slowly, he slid a finger into me. “You’re already so fucking wet,” he said, as if I wasnt so completely aware. He stroked in and out almost torturously slow, curving his digit just slightly.

“Oh my God.” I whined, tilting my head to stare up at him. I couldn’t see his eyes in this lighting but I bet he was enjoying the fuck out of this. As soft as Shaun was with me, I knew there was a side of him that wanted to hit me over the head with a frying pan, most men did.

“I love the faces you make,” he admitted. “I wonder what happens when I do this.” He pushed a second finger into me, making my eyes grow wide at the intrusion. The stretch wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle – if anything it made me crave more. My eyebrows drew together, and my head fell back when this palm bumped my clit.

“Fuck.” I moaned, lips parting and toes curling. I felt the muscles in my stomach tighten and contract against my will, and my hips began to undulate, hoping to gain more friction. My breath stopped in my throat, it was getting harder to breathe. The air seemed to still around us and my heart began to thump loudly into my ears. I almost didn’t hear the sound of someone’s car door slamming. My fingers gripped him tighter in fear, and I turned my head, looking to see if anyone was headed towards us. Shaun’s hand still at my hip suddenly rested against my neck. He slid it up, wrapping his rough fingers around my chin and forcing my gaze back to his, all the while his steady fingering had yet to stop.

“Eyes on me, little miss,” his demand was so low it felt like the sweetest caress. My lidded eyes grew only heavier as his palm pressed into my clit again. I had thought it was an accident at first, but this time he did it again. Over, and over, bringing me right back to him, and the heat he was sending through my body with the way he was working me. “Just me,” he murmured, tenderly. I nodded almost imperceptibly, but it was enough for him. “Say it,” he whispered, and my knees began to tremble.

“Just…” My voice was hoarse, barely above a whisper, “Oh God,” I gripped him so hard, I knew his blood would be beneath my nails if I looked. He moved faster and faster, edging me until I told him what he wanted to hear, “Just you,” I nearly wept and the hand on my chin slid down to the base of my throat, adding pressure to my whispered chants. “Just you, just you…” and it felt like a little more than just for this moment right now. “Please.” I begged, and I wasn’t even sure what I was begging for, I just knew I needed it. He leaned in to me, his lips close to my ear, and he whispered things to me I thought he’d never say.

“I always knew you had a slut in you, out in the parking lot getting fingered in public, but this is what you wanted wasn’t it? ” The deepness of his voice, vibrating in my ears, traveled straight down between my thighs. My breath caught in my throat, I could feel it right there, the edge was so close, and I was about ready to jump over it. “Look at you,” he said softly, lips tickling the tip of my ear, “Taking my fingers in the parking lot like a little slut. Did you want him to watch?” took my earlobe between his teeth and I can only gather he meant whoever had just come out of their car. “Want to put on a little show so they could see uptight little Mavis come undone by sweet nothings and a LA Knight’s fingers in her tight little cunt?”

“Fuck you,” I murmured, eyes screwing shut as his fingers slammed into me faster and harder. “Yes,” I blurted out, “Yes, yes,” I felt a coiling heat start at the pit of my stomach and encased me fully. A sheen of sweat coats my skin despite the cool night. I’d say anything this man wanted me to if it meant getting me closer to climax.

“Everytime I say no, you bat those pretty little eyes at me, and I come running. A spoiled fucking brat, isn’t that right?” The sound of wet flesh on flesh filled my ears. It was so hard for me to see straight, let alone speak.

“Yes… ah! I’m such a fucking brat…” I stuttered out, my words mixed with moans, and my back arching. He pressed his lips to me, kissing my cheek, my ears, anywhere he could reach. “Ugh… I’m gonna come… don’t stop, please don’t stop,” I begged in a way I never thought I would.

“I know baby, I know. I’m not going anywhere till you finish, I don’t care how long it takes.” He breathed huskily into my ear. I pulled him in closer, my arms wrapping around him tightly. I brought my other leg up around him, and rocked my hips against him. That was just the right amount of rhythm I needed, and seconds later my hips halted, and just like that I came undone.

“That’s a good girl, let it out, come all over my fingers.” He encouraged me.

“Ugh.” I groaned, squeezing my eyes shut, and burying my face into his shoulder, trying to not scream out into the void of night. . Shaun held me there, slowly pulling his fingers away, and causing my inner muscles to flex. After a moment passed, he slowly, and carefully let my legs down. One hand helped me smooth out my ruffled clothing while I held his other wrist, slowly bringing his fingers to my mouth, sucking him clean of my own essence.

“Glutinous.” He teased, though his eyes glinted something equivalent to carnal desire. We take a moment to come back to our senses, then he gives me a smile I couldn't help but return.

“What was that?” I asked, finally as we began to walk through the parking lot. Shaun had wrapped an arm around me protectively as a group of what looked to be drunk men stumbled in our direction. They didn’t bother us, but he had an eye on them nonetheless.

We paused at the back door, he signaled to the door man to give them a moment. “I sensed you were a little on edge, or at least distracted. I really just wanted to take your mind off things.” He said honestly, he held me by the hands, looking coy and charmingly boyish for a split second. I can’t help but mirror him, giving his fingers a squeeze.

“Then fun I shall have.” I giggled.

“That’s my girl.” Shaun pulled me by the hand. He passed the door man some money, and he happily opened the back door to the club. The sound of the music carried out into the night time air, engulfing us as we entered.. We held onto each other, his hand tightened around my wrist with an iron grip as he navigated us through the sea of bodies. There was seating sectioned off by a red velvet rope, and from what I could tell a small group of people were already seated there.

“Hey girl!” I squinted my eyes, to see Bianca waving me down from behind the vip. Montez behind her, they both danced up to us, she wrapped her arms around me, and instantly felt at home.

“Hey! What are you guys doing here?” Shaun didn’t tell me Bianca and Montez would be here, I would have been ecstatic to hang out with them.

“He didn’t tell you? We told him like two weeks ago to ask you out, Montez and I planned on going out to karaoke anyway. We figured it would be a great excuse to tag along.” She shrugged her shoulders, then took a sip of her fruity looking drink.

I gawked at her in shock, “Since when the hell do you like Shaun? And how come no one told me about any of this?” I wasn’t sure whether to be upset or not that she had set me up like this. I mean of course it was out of love, but I would have liked to have been included, damn it.

“Since Montez told me he wouldn’t shut up about you on one of their guy nights out.” Bianca revealed, a small smile stretched across her lips, and a knowing look on her face. Shaun was talking about me to his friends? I could feel my face heating up, I looked over to where he and Montez stood talking about God knows what. I swallowed thickly as the fluttering in the pit of my stomach went wild when he turned to glance at me. He held his thumb up to me, then switched to a thumbs down, but I answered with a thumbs up. He nodded his head, and went back to his conversation. “You two are so very much dating, I mean I’m pretty sure everyone else thought so, but now you won’t be able to fake the funk.”

“God, shut up.” I laughed. We chatted for a while. As it turned out, they only arrived a little bit before we did, and apparently Bianca signed us up as a duo. Which I’m thankful for, but then she made me sign up for my own solo song. After the boys came back from getting us some food, they sat down at our table.

“So, did you know, LA used to do Karaoke all the time with his friends?” Montez happened to have offered this information that I’m sure Shaun didn’t expect him to share at all. It wasn’t like he was embarrassed per say, but knowing him it’s probably something he wanted to brag about himself.

“You did what?” Already a large grin was forming across my face, being a Scorpio and would not, he had that whole mysterious vibe going on. It was so fun to peel back his layers, and find out something new every time, especially when it came via other people.

“Ah well, yes. It was more so a band; my friends and I would cover songs.” He was caught off guard by the topic, but explained nonetheless. This was by far the most interesting thing I found out about him.

“Whoa, okay JT.” I giggled, he rolled his eyes, he feigned a look of offense. In my peripheral I could see Bianca snapping pictures of us, and she didn’t even try to hide it.

“Okay, not too much, calm down.” He took a sip of his drink, from what I could tell it was maybe scotch, but he had gotten a margarita for me. Our names were further down in the queue, so we talked and had a few more drinks. By the time I had my third margarita I was feeling slightly buzzed, then I got the bright idea to sip on Shaun’s.

I grunted as I swallowed, burning on its way down my throat, and warming up my chest. “I was trying to warn you, but you gulped it down before I could say something.” He chuckled, but rubbed my back in an effort to soothe the pain. It only helped in the sense that he was sweet enough to do even that, even if it was while laughing at me. Bianca had brought a tray of shots back to the table, I think there may have only been four or five.

“What’s this for?” I looked up at her, she smiled, and picked up a glass. Without any more words she brought it to my lips, I didn’t question it, instead tilted my head back, and swallowed the liquor down.

Then she downed her own drink. Putting a hand on my shoulder, she said, "We're next.” Shaun clapped his hands together, and slapped fifty dollars on the table.

“Alright girls, I got money on you, get these people up off their feet.” He grinned, Montez followed his lead by also slapping money down on the table, and then a plastic card.

We looked at him confused at first, “And there’s been another fifty plus twenty five dollars off at The Cheesecake Factory,” He said proudly to which Bianca and I just rolled our eyes, and went up on stage. The crowd buzzed with mixed reactions for a moment. I could tell a few people recognized us, because then they proceeded to pull out their phone. Of course I posed for a few of them. The crowd really started to stir up when music started up.

“C’mon now, that’s the best y’all got? Let me hear some noise!” Bianca shouted, and I was quick to follow her lead.

“If it’s some laddies in the house that’s tired of scrubs lemme hear you holla!” On cue, the women in the club shouted and whistled as loudly as they could. Putting on a performance for people wasn’t out of the norm for me, but being able to do so without any restrictions was otherworldly. Especially being side by side with one of my closest friends, and when the music started it felt like everyone else didn’t even matter. No Scrubs is a song you could sing in your sleep, but when Left Eye’s verse came up, I was the only one of us that knew it by heart.

“See if you can't spatially expand my horizons, then that leaves you in a class of scrubs never rising..” I sang, the pop from the crowd really let me know they were with me, and from our VIP section, Montez was the loudest. Bianca, now my personal hype man, wrapped her arm around my shoulder as we bounced in sync as if we’ve done this before. It felt like as soon as the song started it was over, a few people had stirred up in the crowd chanting, “Hottie,” then another group of people started chanting, “EST.” Next thing we knew the crowd was going back and forth, “HOTTIE,” and “EST.”

“Much love y’all.” I held out my hands making a heart symbol, Bianca and I posed for a few more pictures, but eventually got off the stage. When we came back to the table it looked like a waitress had cleared our mess, and had left our unfinished drinks. Montez was chanting for us, and fist pumping. Shaun looked up at me from his seat. His eyes shined with desire, he clapped his hands together, I held my hand out, and he placed the money in my hands.

He chucked deeply, I took my seat next to him, and fanned myself off with his money. Then I stuffed it in my chest, Bianca picked up the gift card and waved it around. “I guess we’re having a girls night at cheesecake.” We fist bumped then giggled, the night was far from over, but I didn’t have any more drinks. When it was Shaun’s turn, the crowd was absolutely jumping, without him having to work for it, and I wasn’t surprised. He just had that kind of energy. That and I’ve learned NYC crowds love him– must be an east coast thing.

The opening guitars of Beat It blasted through the packed nightclub, and I was in awe of how shockingly amazing he sounded. He moved on the stage with such confidence, and aptitude, it was weirdly turning me on. Now I wished this was how I met him. Shaun didn’t hold anything back, he was full out dancing, and playing air guitar. I was gobsmacked. I felt like a groupie the way I slipped out of the VIP section and ran up to the front of the barricade where people crowded around him. I threw my body in every direction, banging my head as hard as my body would allow. I turned to see Bianca had followed me, we held each other by the shoulders dancing, and singing. When the song was over, we maneuvered our way back to our section.

I threw my arms around Shaun when he met up with us, “How come you never told me you could sing? That was awesome!” Suddenly, I was struck by a burst of energy, forgetting all about where we were. I pressed my lips to his out of excitement, he body froze for a second, but he quickly recovered. We pulled away for air, when my eyes opened I was caught in his pretty blue irises. The fluttering stirred up again, my head felt a little dizzy, and my knees weakened. Bianca, and Montez cheered from the sidelines and brought me back to reality. We stayed for another hour, but the post performance crash was hitting me hard.

“Hey, y’all ready to get out of here?” Montez asked. Bianca was already standing with her phone, and purse in hand.

I let out a yawn, “Yeah, besides I have media to do tomorrow morning.” When I stood from my seat I stumbled a little, Shaun’s hands were quick to catch me before I landed on my face. He held onto my elbows, and carefully steadied me. “Thanks,” I smiled. He winked at me in response and if he hadn't been holding me, I would have stumbled again.

We all said our goodbyes then split. Shaun held onto me, his grip tighter than before. The sun had already gone down when we got here, but now it was approaching midnight. “Looks like we got outta there just in time, one more rock song and the roof would have popped off.” He joked as he started the car. Feeling a chill, I reached for the heat. I didn’t notice Shaun was already doing the same thing, so when our fingers touched it came as a surprise to me, somewhat jolting me out of shock. When my eye met his, a smile grew across my lips, and my heart skipped a beat.

I pulled my hand out the way, and let him hit the buttons for the heat. Shaun glanced over at me, a curious expression on his face, “what are you all smiley about?” He asked, quoting my words from earlier.

“That was the most fun, outside of work, I’ve had in forever.” I giggled, my hand reached over to caress his cheek and ear as he drove.

“See, it wasn't so bad, was it? And our friends were there, the crowd gave you a big ole pop.” Shaun complimented me sweetly.

“Yeah but the way you worked the room was crazy business, I had no idea you could sing. Like sing sing!” Not once did this come up, he told me how shy he used to be as a kid, and how he used to go find a place to hide and let loose with music. But being a part of a band was something else altogether.

He shrugged, a sheepish grin stretched across his lips, “Just never thought you were interested in hearing it, honestly.”

“Is it because I talk about myself a lot? I'm sorry.” A feeling of guilt settled into my chest as I recall our past conversations. Most if not all, consisted of me doing what I felt like was yapping while my head laid on his chest, and his arms wrapped around me.

“Awe no, listen doll face, that’s just our dynamic. You talk, I listen, and if I wasn’t okay with that, I’d tell you. I never brought it up because I just didn’t feel like it was interesting, and the boys and I haven’t done it in so long.” His voice sounded soft, and baritone as he reassured me. His hand found its way to my knee, squeezing it lovingly, before it traveled up to my thigh where his hand rested for the duration of the drive. My body relaxed, soon my forehead was pressed against the glass window, and I thought that I’d close my eyes for a moment.I was falling asleep, as the next time I opened my eyes, we were back at the hotel, and Shaun was opening my passenger side door.

“Oh shit, that was fast?” my voice was ladened with sleep.

“Not really, you 're just snoring the whole time.” Shaun teased, he handed over his keys to the valet, then took me by the hand, and walked us through the lobby to the elevators. He wrapped both arms around me from behind, pulling my close, and resting his chin on my head. My hands rested atop his, and my body melted into him. His cologne engulfed me, the warm scent beckoning me to sleep, but I fought to keep my eyes open till I made it to my bed.

By the time we made it to my hotel door I was ready to pass out, “Thank you.” A goofy grin plastered onto my face, my voice lowered to a whisper as I was too sleepy to talk any louder.

“Anytime, princess.” I pulled him in for a kiss, and I lingered for a moment, my eyes still closed. Reluctantly I pushed away, and entered my suite. I threw my clothes off near the door, grabbed a makeup wipe, and cleaned off as much makeup as I could knowing I’d regret it if I didn't in a few days time. I grabbed my bonnet, and the moment my head hit the pillow I passed out.

* Small mention: I do not own any lyrics by TLC, the verse/lyric I am referring to here is from No Scrubs by TLC. However, the only version to exists with Left Eyes rap verse is in the music video, to my knowledge. I will link the music video within the story for you all to enjoy.

AS PROMISED- Part 2: Rating TWST Boys 1-10 based on how my Mom’s much less toxic but equally chaotic side of The Family™️ would approve of them

I hope y’all are getting a kick out of these because this has been a really fun means of coping with familial trauma while ✨Absolutely Dunking™️✨ on my Dad and his side of the The Family™️. Enjoy! Maybe I’ll do the Obey Me Boys after TWST lmao

Heartslabyul

Riddle: 7/10- The Mother™️ would question how young he looks but really love how respectful and responsible he is. She would immediately start asking about his academic pursuits and trying to talk about books and philosophy and stuff. Absolutely would admire how structured and disciplined he keeps his life but would absolutely worry about how regimented and stiff it can seem at times. As far as The Maternal Family™️ goes, they’d be really confused by Riddle; respects and admires the work ethic and diligence, awed by his intelligence, but baffled and worried by his stiff formality. Idk if The Cousins™️ would really be able to let their hair down with him, but The Elder Auntie™️ and her husband would really like him as well as The Nan™️. The Mother™️ would feed this boy literally the best food and send him home with leftovers. Overall would fit in but I wouldn’t bring him to The Farm™️ where The Younger Auntie™️ and her family live. This boi would punt the rooster.

Trey: 100000000000000000000/10- He’s responsible? He cooks? He bakes? He’s a top-notch student?? WHERE’S THE RING, SLEEPY??? The Mother™️ would be practically begging this boi to move in within an hour of knowing him. She’d immediately start trading recipes and comparing notes about anything and everything food related(After the visit she would constantly be asking about him and his family and oooooh when can she meet them too??? SLEEPY PLZ I WANT ANSWERS I NEED TO PREP FOR THE WEDDINGBHRARHAUTSS). As far as The Maternal Family™️ goes, it’d be no different, they’d love him immediately. The Elder Auntie™️ would delight in asking him about his family and how he wound up being such a wonderful young man, The Younger Auntie™️ would absolutely ask him if he’d like to take home some fresh goat cheese and goat milk and eggs with him and then invite him to The Farm™️ for lunch tomorrow. The Cousins™️ would happily deal him into their card games, and The Nan™️ would probably try and drag him to church the next day and bless him into next week. Tbh he’d probably never escape, he’d have to just call his family and have them move in next door. That escalated REAL FUCKIN FAST.

Cater: 8/10- Sweet, sweet boi. After The Mother™️ and The Maternal Family™️ gets past how much he uses his phone and talks about social media, he’d fit right in. Since The Mother’s™️ food is literally the most beautiful and delicious food in all of existence, he’d have plenty to post and she would happily keep providing it. She would be so flattered and tickled pink by how eager this boi is to share her food; extra helpings for Mr. Diamond, absolutely. The Maternal Family™️ would ask him loads of questions about his family and love it even more if Cater takes them through his phone and shows them any pictures or videos of them and any of their fond memories and traditions they have. The Younger Auntie™️ would be wary of this boi’s phone but would happily invite him to The Farm™️ if he wanted to get some super cute and mega aesthetic pictures of the chickens, rooster, and goats. Especially the goats. The Elder Auntie™️ would respect Cater’s eye for aesthetics and ask him how he keeps up with trends so effortlessly. The Cousins™️ would get along so smoothly with Cater that they’d also probably also ask about his sisters and ask if they’d be interested in joining us for a Family Dinner™️ next time and a game(SEVERAL games) of cards.

Ace: 7/10- This boi only gets points docked because he sometimes forgets his manners and can be a little immature, but otherwise would also fit right into The Maternal Family™️ with some squeezing. He’s not as much of an intellectual as them but as such a happy and carefree and loyal individual, ultimately they’d all probably come to accept him with open arms and fond faces. The Nan™️ would probably bore Ace to tears but would only mean well in getting to know him. The Cousins™️ would probably have a blast with Ace in playing cards or getting up to some outdoor shenanigans. Idk what to tell you, he’d fit in pretty well.

Deuce: 10/10- He’s a Mama’s Boy, and The Mother™️ would immediately pick up on that and absolutely smother him with affection. If he offered to help set the table or clean the dishes or cook to be respectful, she’d be sent almost all the way to heaven. Extra helpings FOR SURE. His past wouldn’t bother The Maternal Family™️ because they’d see and have so much respect for how much effort he puts into being an upstanding young man. I’m sure both of The Aunties™️ would love to hear about his Mom and how they spend their time together, and The Uncles™️ would ask after what he wants to do with his ever-brightening future. The Cousins™️ would be fast friends with him for sure and immediately would consider him part of the family. The Nan™️ would very much approve as well and pat his cheek a lot. This boi would also absolutely be sent home with leftovers and an invite back with his Mother. The Maternal Family™️ would also absolutely start asking how serious the relationship is and not so subtly hint at making it down-the-aisle-official.

Savanaclaw

Leona: 9/10- This man canonically respects women because he’s from a Matriarchal Society, and thusly The Mother™️ would be fascinated by him and start asking so many questions with genuine and enthusiastic interest about the Sunset Savannah and its culture. If she had a heads up about him being a Lion Beastman, she’d be sure to prep the best meat available to her for his visit to make dinner as delectable as possible for a carnivore while still being a balanced meal. Leona would probably keep it as respectful as he would chill, and thusly would still be well appreciated by The Maternal Family™️. They’re used to me being little more than a zombie sometimes due to my own health issues so they wouldn’t take much issue if Leona seemed tired at the Family Dinner™️ table. As long as he doesn’t deliberately and clearly blow them off(I don’t believe he would at all because if he cared enough about his S/O to go meet his family, he’d put his best foot forward, especially if the family is mostly led by women like The Maternal Family™️). The fact that Leona is a Prince wouldn’t phase anybody outside of just sparking extra curiosity and questions. Tbh Leona probably wouldn’t want to go to The Farm™️ but that wouldn’t stop The Younger Auntie™️ from both extending an invitation as well as an offer to send as many fresh farm products and produce as possible back to the Sunset Savannah as a gift for him and his family. Now after hearing about Cheka, The Younger Auntie™️ would immediately offer to give him the most adorably homemade petting zoo experience of his life and let the lil lion chill with the goats and the chickens. The rooster is an asshole though. Keep Cheka away from the rooster. Anyways Leona would be well-loved by The Maternal Family™️ and sent home with leftovers, love, and an open invitation back anytime. The Cousins™️ especially, they’d love how incredible this man is at chess and his chill vibes. Idk what to tell y’all, they’d love him to bits even despite his laziness at times.

Ruggie: 9/10- The Maternal Family™️ RESPECTS. THAT. HUSTLE. But also would absolutely make sure that Ruggie would get sent home with piles upon piles upon piles of leftovers and fresh farm produce to feed his family and whoever else he would want to share it with. They would ask so many questions about his Grandmother and his community and laud him for how responsible and caring he is about them. The Mother™️ would find Ruggie to be absolutely adorable and like both his dinner and dessert plate high. The Younger Auntie™️ would absolutely invite this boi to The Farm™️. He would not be asked to help with any of the cooking or cleaning or household or farm stuff, he’d honestly be treated like a Prince in his own right, but if he ever did decide to just help out without being asked, The Maternal Family™️ would absolutely be in love. The Cousins™️ might be wary of him playing cards in case he tries to pull a fast one on them, but otherwise would get along swimmingly.

Jack: 10/10- Strong, respectful, responsible, diligent, determined, need I go on? The sheer volume of aggressively positive traits this boi has is so high that The Maternal Family™️ would be over the moon with him. It would take maybe less than ten minutes of talking with him for him to make a good enough first impression on them for them to welcome him into the family. Now, the tail-wagging might throw them for a loop but they’d get used to it and be unbothered by it in no time at all. The Mother™️ would be delighted not just with Jack’s intelligence, but also with how athletic he is. Does he go jogging? Perfect! Come join us(The Mother™️ and The Sibling™️) in the morning! Play sports? Tell us about it! What’s Magift? Sounds fun! The Cousins™️ would practically be BEGGING Jack to come play some sports outside after The Family Dinner™️. The Nan™️ would probably ask if she can pet him tbh but wouldn’t be bothered if he said no. She’d just move right on and start asking about his family and where he wants to invest his future. It’s the athleticism, the respect, and the all around intellect for them😤😤😤 They’d absolutely start asking about making it Down-The-Aisle official after meeting him(and of course, sending him home with mountains of leftovers and fresh produce).

Octavinelle

Azul: 8/10- The Maternal Family™️ would be intrigued at first, maybe a little wary because of how formal he is, but ultimately would come around by the end of a Family Dinner™️. The second the Mostro Lounge comes up, The Mother™️ would be fascinated and ask him all about how he came to essentially run an entire restaurant(Fish Mob notwithstanding) before even graduating. She’d probably ask what they serve there, who makes the food, what’s the vibe, etc. If pics come out, she would die from how cool it looks, and would absolutely want to come pay a visit. Tbh she’d probably also want to meet Floyd and Jade buuuuuut I’m not sure if that’d really go the way she’d think it would. Anyways! She’d definitely show off the most unhinged Baby Sleepy™️ pictures she can find if she catches wind of Azul having a difficult time in the past with his looks and sense of self(I was a weird bean too, it’d just be her way of trying to hype him up). Anyways! The Maternal Family™️ would also be similarly fascinated by Azul’s business ventures and how resourceful he is. The Nan™️ would be highly confused by the idea of an underwater lounge but, by the end of an inevitable unintentional business promotion from Azul(maybe the prospect of a free meal?), she’d be bursting at the seams to go visit with The Mother™️ for Parents Week at NRC. I think that, while Azul is incredibly charming and can lay it on when he needs to, he’s still just a little too formal to be invited to The Farm™️ immediately by The Younger Auntie™️, but would be eventually. The Cousins™️ will also be put off a little at first by him being a literal business boi, but will get past that easily after getting to know him. Just gotta give it some time and everybody will be a member of the Azul fan club.

Jade: 7/10- This boi is smooth, charming, and almost unnervingly perfect on the surface. He exudes ominous energy unintentionally, and definitely would put The Maternal Family™️ off at first. The Mother™️ would absolutely give him a warm reception though, despite the initial vibes, and start delving into the questions about him. When she learns about Mostro Lounge, her interest would be piqued, and like with Azul, she’d ask all sorts of questions about the menu and how it’s run and what Jade’s role is in the whole operation. The Maternal Family™️ would take some time to warm up to Jade completely, but what would tip The Cousins™️ and The Younger Auntie’s™️ family over the edge and into his fan club is learning about the Mountain Lovers’ Club. They literally live on the base of a mountain! If Jade wants to go explore the local mountain range(bonus hint: it’s featured in a very famous folk country song), then they’ll happily invite him to The Farm™️(he’d terrify the rooster into submission) and set him up for a nice hike with The Cousins™️ and The Younger Auntie™️. The Elder Auntie™️ would probably still be a little sus if Jade but would probably come around after The Nan™️ decides he’s a good lil lad. He really is a good boi when it’d come to his S/O so I fully believe that meeting their family would lead him to be the most genuine he’d probably get with other people, if not a little more schmoozy than normal to sweeten that first impression. The Mother™️ would probably send him home with leftovers for both him and Floyd so that his brother will feel welcome to join at the next Family Dinner™️(oh boy).

Floyd: 5/10- Oh boy. This boi is definitely out there for them. The Mother™️ would be very taken aback by Floyd’s behavior, but would do her best to be kind and accommodating. She’d certainly ask about his family, his interests, etc., but probably struggle to find some direction in the conversations with him. The Maternal Family™️ would probably have a similar issue in trying to get to know Floyd but would still treat him with kindness and respect despite their bewilderment and mild confusion. The Cousins™️ would probably get along with him the best, especially when they find out about him playing on the basketball team at NRC. The Elder Auntie™️, despite his laid-backness, would probably appreciate Floyd’s eye for style and appreciation of fashion. It’d definitely be a mixed bag of opinions by the end of the Family Dinner™️ but ultimately, regardless of what The Maternal Family™️ would think of him themselves, they’d approve of him as long as he treated his S/O well and made them happy.

Scarabia

Kalim: Literal Sunshine/10- Because this boi is literally sunshine incarnate and will spoil anyone and everyone he befriends in the general vicinity, The Mother™️ will absolutely just wrap this lil boi in affection and care and stuff his tummy full of the best food on that side of the Mississippi. Kalim would get hugs just as warm and tight as he’d give them, a belly full of food with plenty of leftovers for him, his family, and even Jamil! If Jamil were to accompany Kalim for his first meeting with The Maternal Family™️, he’d be treated with just as much kindness and camaraderie as Kalim, and absolutely sent home with his own bounty of leftovers for his family as well. The Aunties™️ would absolutely eat Kalim up though, and he would absolutely be immediately invited to The Farm™️ for a tour and the same homemade petting zoo that The Younger Auntie™️ would offer Cheka in Leona’s scenario. This boi would love the goats, literally would annihilate the world with how cute it’d be to watch him tour the farm and pet the goats. Anyways, the Family Dinner™️ introducing Kalim to the entire family would be such a smashing success that The Maternal Family™️ would already start planning a party to host the Al-Asims and start planning the wedding. Sleepy what’s your dress size? No, you’re not gonna make it yourself, hush.

Jamil: 9001/10- Honestly just as good of a fit as Kalim. While he’s reserved and plays his cards close to the chest, I fully believe that Jamil would do his best to be more open when meeting his S/O’s family for the first time, and thusly would make a very good impression on The Maternal Family™️. The Mother™️ would dote on this man after learning how respectful and responsible he is on top of being one of the hardest working people at NRC. She would give him literally the best meal in her power to muster, and ask all about his hobbies and interests, and absolutely avoid asking about anything Kalim-related after learning that it’s basically what he has to do for his job because of his family’s history with the Al-Asims. He plays basketball? Awesome! He should go shoot some hoops with The Cousins™️ and The Sibling™️ after dinner! He breakdances? W O W!! Show us some videos please! The Maternal Family™️ would literally be so impressed by how multitalented and responsible Jamil is, and even moreso if they learn how cunning and strategic he is when he inevitably gets roped into playing cards, chess, mancala, or even Stratego! There would also be an open invitation to The Farm™️, and if Jamil isn’t interested in seeing the animals, that’s ok! The Younger Auntie™️ would be happy to have another Family Dinner™️ at her house this time where she cooks instead of The Mother™️! Regardless, Jamil would be sent home(reluctantly, The Maternal Family™️ absolutely wants to have him move in) with leftovers and fresh produce to last him at least several more days if not a full week. When is he coming back, Sleepy? Have you talked about….you know?! *Wiggles ring finger expectantly* He’s such a nice boy….

Pomefiore

Vil: 9/10- Vil would like The Maternal Family™️, and they would like Vil. The Mother™️ would be mindful of his strict diet upon request if he joined them for a Family Dinner™️ and would absolutely offer to pack up and send him home with only the most wholesome leftovers for later in the week. The Mother™️ is such a master of the culinary arts that I’m confident that she’d absolutely be able to find a dessert to fit well enough into Vil’s strict diet to eat on a non-cheat day, but would happily forego that course of the meal upon request. She’s a big health nut too so absolutely would respect and accommodate Vil as much as possible. If he’d be open to spilling some of his secrets, she’d probably like to trade recipes with him too for health foods and wholesome snacks! The Younger Auntie™️ would absolutely do so as well, and would make sure that, if Vil doesn’t take home any of The Mother’s™️ leftovers, he at least has a bag full of fresh and wholesome produce to bring back home with him! The invite to The Farm™️ is probably not one Vil would take her up on but she wouldn’t be that offended. As far as The Elder Auntie™️ goes, she’d be so dazzled by his work and his celebrity status and probably ask how he manages to stay so put together and well balanced considering all of the pressure he’s under to be so perfect all of the time. The Nan™️ would probably just be vibin’ on the side and appreciating how Vil clearly puts a lot of care and consideration into his looks and public image as well as his health. She’d probably try to convince him to take some of her special sweet bread home and just slip it into his bag when he’s not looking if he politely declines. Anyways everybody would really like Vil, even The Cousins™️, and the only thing that’d be at all worrying for them is just that dating celebrities can be really difficult when said celebrity has thousands of fans that might lash out on social media out of jealousy. That’s not Vil’s fault though, so The Maternal Family™️ would be a-okay with this absolute S-Tier catch.

Rook: Literally Cannot Even/10- For reference, The Maternal Family™️ has very strong French and German heritage and thusly will be floored that this man is fluent in one of those languages. And that’s only the FIRST thing about him that would impress their socks off. Because of this man’s solar-level-flair(yes, I know a flare is different from flair, it’s a PUN😤) for the dramatic, I have no doubts in my mind that he would greet The Mother™️ with a full bow and a flourish followed by a kiss on the back of her hand after kneeling before her. This man doesn’t just drink that respecc wamen juice, he feckin CHUGS it. Man’s gonna worship the woman who birthed his S/O and then of course the woman who birthed the woman who birthed his S/O; this will earn him ALL THE SON-IN-LAW-TO-BE POINTS. He will be fed a veritable king’s feast and then treated to an old and one of our most special family recipes for dessert(I can’t tell you what it is though😉). The Maternal Family™️ would absolutely hang onto every word that leaves this man’s mouth when he’s telling a story or a joke because of how much of a natural entertainer he is(and incredibly easy on the eyes). It wouldn’t take long at all for everyone to be head over heels for Mr. Hunt; The Younger Auntie™️ would absolutely invite Rook to The Farm™️ on the condition that he doesn’t hunt the goat or the chickens(mcfrick the rooster lol), to which I’m sure he would happily accept. By the end of the Family Dinner™️ everyone would be so showered in compliments and praise that Rook would barely escape without being convinced to spend the night in the guest room and stay for a nice brunch in the morning. His S/O would have to literally drag him out to get him home at a decent hour.

Epel: 7/10- This boi is probably the most like everyone in The Maternal Family™️ and would fit in the most seamlessly. The Mother™️ would have to resist the urge to calm him cute and adorable and probably would fill the hole that that’d leave by asking Epel about his family, where he comes from, and his family’s business! Apples?? No way! Our family makes fresh applebutter in the Fall! You’ll join us next time, right? Bring your Granny! The Nan™️ would abso-feckin-lutely love Epel and how spunky he is; by the end of the visit, she’d be determined to find a new friend in Meemaw Felmier. Epel seems like he’d really enjoy The Farm™️, so the Younger Auntie would offer the invite as the visit is winding down and while loading him up with goat cheese and goat milk and veggies to bring back to Chez Felmier for his family. The Cousins™️ would definitely pal around with Epel and warm up to him the fastest out of everybody since he can probably relate the most to them. Altogether Epel would fit in pretty well, but because he’s still a lad, The Maternal Family™️ would still be a bit wary until he grows a little more.

Ignihyde

Idia: 5/10- Okay, so here’s the thing; The Maternal Family™️ is warm and very inviting and will do their very best to make people that come and spend time with them feel as welcome and at home as possible. However- it’s up to the guests to meet them in the middle, and with Idia struggling so fiercely with social anxiety and also not being the most socially adept regardless, I think both The Mother™️ and The Maternal Family™️ might be a little awkward in figuring out how to best settle into this relationship. They’d certainly do their best and get to a comfortable place with him eventually, knowing that he makes his S/O as happy and cozy as he can, but the interim would be a bit crunchy. Idia probably wouldn’t have much access to junk food and easy snacks while visiting The Mother™️ but she would absolutely feed him like one of her own. The Aunties™️ both might be wary, but due ti his affinity with all things otaku, The Cousins™️ and The Sibling™️ would get along with Idia easily after breaking the ice. All in all the initial visit would be a bit awkward, but I’m certain with time they’d come to treat him like any other family member.

Ortho: Literal Child/10. Nothing about this would be in a boyfriend way, he’d probably accompany Idia on the “meet the family” visit. The Maternal Family™️ would love him though, they’d think he’s positively adorable. His chipper attitude coupled with his incredibly earnest and sincere curiosity about things. Ortho would be included in literally everything. He is a good boy and The Maternal Family™️ would commit whole crimes for him. Frick.

Diasomnia

Malleus: Happily Ever After/10- Okay, so because he’s THE Heir to the throne, he’d probably have to bring along his retainers for security buuuuut I can guarantee that even Sebek would be more than satisfied with how honored and welcomed his Waka-sama would be into the Den of the Mother™️. Regardless of his Royal Status, he’d still get literally the biggest hug from the smallest woman and sat down for the best meal she can muster(which I guarantee is Michelin level good). Because Malleus is such a gentle and curious soul and was trained to be the very picture of impeccable manners and diplomacy, I’m sure he’d probably be very interested in not only the meal The Mother™️ would prepare, but also all the little knickknacks around her house, and she would be SO happy to be able to tell him about anything and everything she has knowledge on. The Maternal Family™️ would absolutely equal and mirror Malleus’s curiosity about the human world with their own regarding the Valley of Thorns. They might be a little nervous at first to ask questions, but Lilia would abso-fucking-lutely break that ice for both parties in no time. The Nan™️ would be so infatuated with Malleus by the end of their first conversation precisely because of his gentility and curiosity; she’d find his lack of knowledge of human society as the most adorable novelty. The Elder Auntie™️ would be very impressed by his title but also certainly would get a kick out of his special interest in Gargoyles and probably direct him to The Elder Uncle™️, who was an architect before he retired, and The Sibling™️, who went to college to study world history and also has a fascination with architecture. Now, this would make for great conversation up and until The Farm™️ gets brought up. This would probably be as much a novelty for Malleus as it would be an exciting field trip in Lilia’s eyes, who will probably insist that they all go visit the following day. Needless to say that The Younger Auntie™️ will absolutely be sending Malleus home with loads of her fresh farm products to share with his family and for Lilia to use in his “cooking”. All in all, the Family Dinner™️ would be a cozy, warm, and exciting experience for everyone in attendance and especially for Malleus. The highlight of the meal would undoubtedly be the dessert options he’d have available to him, reason being that The Mother™️ owns one of those ball thingys that makes homemade ice cream when it’s tossed around for a while. Between the prospect of homemade ice cream and the game of throwing and rolling around The Ball™️ with The Cousins™️, Malleus(so long as he doesn’t throw it so hard that he breaks it or any of the family) would be having so much fun despite Sebek screeching about “making Lord Malleus do manual labor”. Of course once the ice cream is ready, The Mother™️ would make sure that our favorite fae Prince gets as many toppings on top as he pleases, and finds his thinly veiled giddiness to be the most precious thing in the whole world. Rather than sending him home with leftovers, she’d make sure that Malleus understood that he’s a.) welcome back literally anytime with a heads up, and b.) got an invitation by extension for his family and especially his Grandmother, who The Maternal Family™️ will absolutely bend over backwards for to impress. They’d literally be begging ol’ Sleepy for details about the relationship afterwards, constantly asking after Malleus, sending well wishes and regards to his family(The Younger Auntie™️ would probably work out some means of getting fresh goat milk and goat cheese and chèvre to the castle for Grandma Draconia monthly), and dropping incredibly not-so-subtle hints about wanting a wedding soon. They’d be so proud and so happy that he’d be able to provide total stability and security for his S/O in pretty much every way imaginable. It’s no wonder he’d probably be their perfect pick out of everybody here.

Lilia: 10/10- It would not be hard at all for the Diasomnia Dad to charm the socks off of The Maternal Family™️. Between exchanging his very eccentric recipes with The Mother™️, to listening with fascination to The Younger Auntie™️ telling him all about The Farm™️, to just turning The Nan™️ into a giggly, giddy mess with how incredibly charming this boi is when he really starts laying it on, to probably absolutely handing The Cousins’™️ asses to them on the finest silver platters in most video games, The Maternal Family™️ would be absolutely in love with Lilia as much as he would be in love with his S/O. The Mother™️ probably wouldn’t let him into the kitchen for obvious reasons after hearing about his recipes, but she’d absolutely spoil him rotten with her incredible meals. She’d probably attempt to get him in for another family visit every week after that first Family Dinner™️ because he’s such a bright and entertaining presence in any room he’s in. So, Sleepy…..I know he’s busy with his….kids…?….but when are we gonna get to see that lovely Mr. Vanrouge again? How’s that ring finger lookin’?

Sebek: 6.5/10- Sebek’s stiff formality would absolutely throw everyone in The Maternal Family™️ off at first, as well as his initial ostensible disgust with humans, but if he loves his S/O enough to go and meet their family, I think he’d truly do his best to be respectful. Sure, The Maternal Family™️ would do their best to hold conversations and get to know him, but he’d still probably find a way back to talking about his Wakasama and his homeland among other things, but he’d still probably still exhibit enough manners to make a decent impression. The Mother’s Food™️ is absolutely incredible so I fully believe it can charm anyone, Sebek included, and I’m sure that he’d probably be able to muster up his compliments after getting past his initial shock. I’m not sure how The Aunties™️ and The Nan™️ would feel after just one visit(especially since Sebek probably would not show much interest in The Farm™️ or any human hobbies), but if both he and they got to know each other better, they’d come to accept him with some time. He’s GOTTA chill out though.

Silver: 9/10: Mans is a literal Disney Princess, just mega sleepy; he’d absolutely do his best to stay awake to meet his S/O’s family though! Lucky for him, The Maternal Family™️ is used to my own chronic fatigue issues so they’d absolutely make room for him mid-visit if he really needed to take a nap. Otherwise, they would love to get to know him! This chivalrous yet laid-back personality would fit right in with the more chill members of The Maternal Family™️, The Mother™️ included. Everybody would love to ask and hear about Silver’s experience growing up as a human in a fae society, and then subsequently start asking him what human experiences he hasn’t tried yet and if he’d like to go on a family outing to go do them. The Cousins™️ especially would want to get to know Silver so that if he has missed out on some aspects of the human experience thus far, they can become his adventure buddies. Regardless, everyone, including The Nan™️, would have no problem accepting Silver into the family right away. The Mother™️ would send him home with plenty of leftovers(much to Lilia’s chagrin and Diasomnia’s delight) and an invitation to bring his family with him next time! They’ll have important things to discuss.👀

All of these are completely stand alone stories inspired by some strange things my partner and I have said to each other. You don’t need to read them in any particular order, nor do you need to read them all to understand what’s happening. Just enjoy the weirdness. | This series is just so fluffy and funny, each and every chapter you will find yourself laughing, I promise.

Run To You 🪙 Pt. 8 by @bestofbucky » Mob Boss!Bucky Barnes x Reader — Mob boss Bucky Barnes hires you to be his bodyguard. | The Angst is here and it is so good. This series just keeps getting better and better.

Drabbles:

*Hugs My Love by @thatfuckingweirdo » Mobster!Bucky Barnes x Reader — You just really need a hug, and Bucky is the only one you want it from. | If you are suffering from the Monday blues, this is the remedy just for that. So fluffy, it’s like being wrapped in that favorite blanket of yours.

Up, Up and Away by @thatfuckingweirdo » Bucky Barnes x Insecure!FemaleReader — Bucky turns soft in the middle of sex, and you’re left wondering if you were the cause. | This was really good and as a plus!size girl I felt a connection, but by the end all you feel is adoration from Bucky.

One-Shots:

No Goodbye by @badassbuchanan » Bucky Barnes x Reader — Bucky’s left to pick up the pieces of a broken heart. | Please have tissues on standby for this one.

So Good!

*Cheeseburgers Make Me Happy by @buckysdolls » Bucky Barnes x Reader — Ooh can I get one where the reader is maybe Morgan’s babysitter or something and post Tony’s funeral. And Bucky is just there, very sad and reader and Morgan just kinda cheer him up and fluff. | While this is fluffy, I still had a few tears slip, but I still loved it oh so much.

*Dawn by @msmarvelwrites » Bucky Barnes x Reader — ‘so far away… So alone. This place was once somewhere you could truly feel yourself. But if you couldn’t fight, what good were you here? | Brontë thank you for pulling on my heartstrings in such a beautiful way. This showed that sometimes you can’t and don’t need to go through depression alone and it’s okay to ask/rely on others for help.

Steve Rogers

(Mini) Series:

One Step Closer by @river-soul » Dark!Steve Rogers x Plus Size!Reader — Three weeks after your training session with Steve goes horribly wrong, he brings you to his office to remind you who you belong to.

Left stranded and alone, your only hope is to trust a strange Alpha named Ari who promises to get you home safe.

One-Shots:

Distraction by @wanderinglunarnights » Ari Levinson x Reader — Working on a case together you spend a lot of time together on the road. You have to spend the night in the local motel and of course there’s only one room with one bed left. | Short and hot, just the way you needed it sometimes.

One-Shots:

A Second Too Late by @angrythingstarlight » Andy Barber x Reader — You meet the man of your dreams. Too bad he’s waiting for someone else. | I honestly don’t know what is going on with my hormones but I was tearing. It’s really good but honestly anything I read by @angrythingstarlight is good.

In Between The City Walls of Dying Dreams by @darkficsyouneveraskedfor » Ex-Con/Dark!Andy Barber x Shy!Reader — One night, you’re saved by the last person you expect, but you don’t know that he’s only saving you for himself. | Can I just say that since it’s by @darkficsyouneveraskedfor you know it’s going to be good? This didn’t let me down. I also felt like I related to the shy!reader as I often don’t have a lot to say to people, unless I really know someone. Also amazing smut!

Cock Worship by @ozarkthedog » Andy Barber x Reader — It’s just what the title says of Andy Barber, reader shows her man just how much she loves Andy’s cock. | This was short and perfect.

Chris Evans

One-Shots:

Vacation Mornings by @angrythingstarlight » Chris Evans x Reader — No better way to spend your vacation than wrapped around your man. | The smut is great and it makes you feel fluffy.

A Terrible, Terrible Love by @punani » Chris Evans x Fem!Reader — You broke up seven months ago, and moving on was as easy as teaching someone how to drive stick shift. You live in his mind as much as he lives in yours, and perhaps some things are worth reconsidering. | This honestly showed that not all relationships are sunshine and roses, giving you a perhaps realistic take on love, with some really good smut!

Stucky

(Mini) Series:

*Twice Burned after → Twice Bitten by @cherienymphe » DarkVampireKing!Steve Rogers x SoftDarkVampireDuke!Bucky Barnes x Reader | King Steve has the reputation of the kindest king in all the land. How sad it is that such a man always seems to be burying a wife, leaving him lonely and searching for another. Seeing how Queen Margaret’s death affected you, the king hopes to raise your spirits by marrying you off to the handsome Duke, James Barnes, unbeknownst to you, sealing your fate. | I love vampires, but what I really loved is this especially dark!vampire king Steve. The smut in this was so good and I got chills while reading this. I’m so looking forward to part 3 when it comes out!

The Miracle by @heavenhatesme » Bucky Barnes x Reader x Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes x Reader, Steve Rogers x Reader — When infertility threatens mankind with extinction and there hasn’t been a baby for almost 18 years, what happens when two certain super soldiers fall for the same woman and accidentally impregnate her? | Sometimes you just need a good apocalypse au before bed and even though it’s just the first chapter, it still leaves you craving more!

One-Shots:

Deviation of Control by @navybrat817 » Bucky Barnes x Reader, Steve Rogers x Reader — Winter Soldier turns the tables on Captain Hydra. — If you are looking for some really good smut, look no further, this has it.

Loving You Is a Losing Game by @river-soul » Soft Dark!Steve x Reader x Winter Soldier — AU from CAWS where the Winter Soldier is recaptured by Hydra and mind wiped. As Steve searches for his best friend and former mate, he discovers the Omega Hydra bonded to him. Looking for a way to lure the Winter Soldier out of hiding and bind Bucky to him once more, Steve decides the best way to accomplish that is through a shared Omega, whether she is willing or not. [ABO dynamics, dub-con and breeding kink, 18+] | Do you ever just want to yell at Steve? Yeah I did in this.. the cliff hanger had me going please Miss. can have some more. 😂

Initials by @americancowgirl19 » Stucky x Reader — Bucky and Steve finds their third soulmate in Wanda’s sister. Only problem is that she’s supposed to be dead, not Hydra’s new prized possession. | Sometimes you just need something that hits you in the feels with some angst and some fluff, and this is one.

Misc.

(Mini) Series:

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

A small town near Salem, Massachusetts. Late Summer 1693.

A young, petite, blonde woman sits on a small window sill, piercing green eyes looking out into the night as the sky slowly turns dark after the sun has set. She smiles, thinking about how good the day has been. She just turned 18 a couple days ago, old enough to move together with her girlfriend, but they have only been dating for a couple of weeks and she feels like it would all be too early.

Additionally, she hasn’t found the courage to tell her parents yet, which makes things a tad bit harder. It’s not just about the fact that she is a girl. Mostly, it’s about her being Agatha Harkness. The Harknesses are frowned upon in town. They are different. They are secluded. Everyone seems to know them, but no one is able to have a connection with them.

Unlike Eleanore. Running her fingers through her locks, she smiles as her eyes scan over the landscape that’s laid out in front of her. Agatha and her met on a market in her hometown, Beverly, last season and it was love at first sight as they reached for the same apple, hiding from the world under their capes.

————————————

Beverly Market, Spring 1693

————————————

As their fingers touch, their eyes meet and the apple falls to the floor.

“Sorry! I got it!” Eleanore immediate crouches down to reach for the fallen fruit, kneeling in front of Agatha whose eyes follow her from above.

As she comes back up, she is dangerously close to the brunette and places the apple into her basket with delicate fingers. Again, Agatha follows her every move as she licks her lips.

A “Thank you,” rolls off her lips as she keeps the eye contact with the blonde while a soft smile creeps onto her face.

“I’m Eleanore!” Eleanore extends her hand to properly greet and introduce herself to her new acquaintance.

The brunette slowly extends her hand to grab Eleanore’s, hoping it makes her appear more friendly.

Talking to strangers is hard for Agatha, as she is used to people moving out of their way to get around meeting her. Due to that, she usually only ever hangs out with her coven, who is even more close minded than everyone thinks she is.

Agatha is different, though, she wonders about the humans. She wants to get to know them, which is why she came into the small town of Beverly that day, running right into the major’s daughter. But it’s not just about getting to know the humans. Agatha wants a life beyond the forest. Most importantly, she wants to be loved by someone, as her mother isn’t able to show her love for her.

This interaction might be her chance and she decides to take it, “Agatha. Lovely to meet you, Eleanore.”

Before she can continue on with the conversation, Eleanore’s eyes widen. “Harkness?”

About to run off, Agatha looks down so that her new friend doesn’t see the panic in her eyes. It’s enough of an answer for Eleanore, who places a hand on Agatha’s forearm, keeping her from leaving.

“I don’t care for the rumors. Stay.”

They both smile.

—————————

Agatha is always busy and there are definitely things she isn’t talking about but the time the girls spend together makes up for all the times Eleanore spends by herself missing her girlfriend.

Her lack of friends always made it hard for her to understand that what was happening between her and Agatha was indeed more than friendship. She has often wished for it, but never really saw the signals.

Until one night, where Eleanore sat on her window sill after Agatha had climbed up to her window once again. Talking about everything and nothing for hours, Agatha had finally leaned in for a kiss that was immediately answered by the blonde. Lingering on her lips for a while, Agatha had broken the kiss and looked at her, a purple shimmer in her eyes. Blinking, Eleanore tried to see it again but it was gone too soon, making her believe she must have simply imagined it.

On another occasion, Agatha had taken her hand in public as they walked over a market, hoods deep into their faces, hiding from the world together until someone recognized Eleanore, thinking she was with a friend.

“I love you,” Agatha had whispered to her, before she kissed her hand and disappeared into the crowd.

Being with Agatha was always like this. She was loving and caring but sometimes she would just disappear and Eleanore wouldn’t hear from her for days. Just like this week, where she told her a family gathering was happening due to a major event, but didn’t elaborate on any of it.

Sighing, Eleanore looks over the landscape again as, suddenly, her head starts hurting, prompting her to slide from the window sill to make her way back into her room.

——————

Agatha watches in excitement as the older woman gather together in a circle. The group is in the middle of a forest, assembled on a clearing, as her mother takes out the Darkhold.

The brunette is dressed in a long black dress that hugs her body, as she is kept warm by a white undershirt. Her arms are covered in black silk, only showing her hands. Open hair framing a soft face, she looks as beautiful as the stars illuminating the night sky.

Evanora Harkness opens her arms, blue magic eluding from her hands. The book floats in front of her as she stands still, welcoming the dark magic.

“WITCHES OF SALEM,” she looks around, meeting excited faces, “Tonight is the night. Tonight, my dear daughter Agatha will become a true witch. Tonight, out coven will gain another full member. Tonight, once again, we will sacrifice useless humans to create another one of us.”

Agatha knows the Darkhold back and forth. She knows the page her mother is on and her eyes grow in horror. She knows that is going to happen.

No. This can’t be.

Agatha’s face falls, unnoticed by the others. Her heart is racing. She knows everything there is to know about witches. She has read the book her mom keeps hidden away from her multiple times. She has never heard about any SACRIFICE made to create a witch before. This can’t be.

“TONIGHT,” her mother continues, “we sacrifice the city of Beverly to the moon - for you.”

Everyone turns to face Agatha, shooting her reassuring smiles.

“Please no,” Agatha whispers to herself, absolute panic rising inside her as she forces a smile onto her face.

She wants to become a real witch. She wants to be one with the coven. But she didn’t see this coming. She never could’ve known.

“Let’s begin.”

Raising her arms to the air once again, the floating book is raised as well, hovering above the circle in between the tree crowns. Every other witch raises her arms following Evanora’s lead, black colored magic eluding from their hands.

Suddenly, Evanora begins to recite a spell Agatha has read about before. It’s as useful as it is merciless, causing the effected no pain while gaining all of their life. The brunettes eyes widen in horror as she realizes yet again the deeper meaning of this.

She just stands and watches, until the woman next to her shoots her an encouraging smile to raise her hands as well.

Thinking of Eleanore, she sends a silent message into the night sky, raising her arms to join the coven.

Do not look at the moon.

——————

The nagging headache is back again and Eleanore rubs her forehead as she sits with her parents at the dinner table.

“Is there something wrong, sweetheart?” Her mother looks concerned. So does her father.

Taking a deep breath in, Eleanore decides that tonight is the night. “I have to tell you something. I…” she stops, overthinking her words, “yeah, no, I don’t know how to put it into words. I have a girlfriend. A lover. A… I love a girl.”

Her mother raises her eyebrow, placing her hand on her father’s.

“We have figured. Your mom and I need to think about this. But we…”

“It’s fine! Sweetheart, don’t worry. It is fine and we will find away. For now, let’s eat. And talk about it all tomorrow, shall we?”

“Tomorrow.” Eleanore nods, rubbing her forehead once again.

——————

ELEANORE. Agatha’s head hurts as she deperately tries to get a message to her girlfriend without being too obvious about it.

Eleanore. Please. DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOON. Another try, useless.

Evanora looks at Agatha, a joyful look on her face. “Can you feel it, daughter? Can you feel the dark magic working for you?”

Agatha smiles, nods even, frantically trying to think of another way to safe the girl she loves. Suddenly, she feels a force running through her body as the moon changes.

Looking up at the sky, she notices the moon becomes red. So red that it turns the whole black of the night into a scene right out of a horror movie.

“LOOK AT IT, DAUGHTER.” Evanora screams. “Look at it and take the power of those becoming one with the moon, sacrificed for you and you only.”

Agatha blinks as tears form in the corner of her eyes. She feels helpless, useless even, as she is unable to think about any way to help the girl she fell for.

——————

Meanwhile, over in Beverly, the people notice the moon, too. But unlike Agatha and the other witches, they are greatly effected by it as they turn into creatures of the night, nothing human in them anymore, as soon as they catch sight of it.

DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOON. Agatha’s pleading halls through the realm, unable to reach Eleanore, who is making her way up to her room, torn about the interaction with her parents.

——————

Please Ellie, do not look at the damn moon! Agatha’s pleading continues on, unnoticed by the other witches who are fully concentrated on changing the night.

Taking one last leap, Agatha changes her actions. Instead of trying to get to Eleanore, she now tries to stop the other witches.

Slowly, but surely, purple magic eludes from her hands, as she calmly casts a silent spell against the other witches’ spells. No one has notices yet, which, lucky her, because hell will break open if anyone does.

Reaching the ceremonies height, Evanora puts all her power into the final moments of the spell, until she gets struck by a blast of purple magic.

Lowering her arms, she frantically looks around, meeting Agatha’s gaze, who has a determined look on her face as she casts another spell against her mother.

“What are you…” Evanora starts before getting hit by yet another spell.

“AGATHA.”

Finally, the other witches notice and the one closest to Agatha breaks the spell, unnoticed by the brunette.

Right as she casts another dark spell against her own mother, she gets hit on the head. Hard, merely giving her time to scream into the night once more before she hits the floor.

Do not look at the moon.

——————

Eleanore sits on her bed, curtains closed and looks at her hands in her lap. Stretching out to her night stand, she pulls out a drawing she has created of Agatha to keep her close in times she seems so far away.

A silent tear runs down her cheeks as she strokes the drawing with her thumb.

“I wish you were here right now, holding me and kissing my head,” she whispers as she closes her eyes.

Suddenly, the look on her face changes and a smile finds its way onto it.

Feeling Agatha’s presence, she opens the blinds, looking directly at the moon.

Last Hope | 1K

By @slytherinzouis | friendofhayley

♥️♥️

Louis Tomlinson just wanted to go to sleep until Hot Neighbor Guy asked him for a very mysterious favor. Now he has to stay awake while convincing the most sought out couples therapist that he is in love with Harry Styles.

This is a gift for @merrrrrrrrry for the @secretlarryvalentine event! I enjoyed the freedom of you prompt (fluff, and the author’s choice) and would have elaborated more if it wasn’t for those awful Texas storms! I hope you enjoy this fic just for you <3

if you can see my reflection on the snow covered hills

by friendofhayley (me)

Length: 16k

“Louis. Seriously.” Lottie stopped Louis’ pacing, taking hold of her shoulders. “You know it’s all based on looks and personality anyway, and you’ve got both to spare.”

Louis nervously nodded her head. Fuck, this would be so much easier if she was a guy. At least then they wouldn’t be judging whether she was too fat or annoying before she even opened her mouth.

Or, the story of five queer girls against the world.

Girl Direction, X-Factor to Hiatus, Explicit

💗Thank you @dryourtearsaway for making this beautiful moodboard! 💗

Fans, creators, lend me your eyes! This month was very larrie-focused for me (fics wise) because I was introducing my sweetheart to this wonderful world. So congratulations! Here is my monthly fic rec just for larry fics! 

1. i must admit i thought i’d like to make you mine by @disgruntledkittenface | girl direction - past-Zouis but Zayn isn’t a villain !! - fake relationship (and all that entails) - ✨queer ✨culture - 50k

Louis fell apart when her ex broke up with her and moved across the country. Just as she’s starting to move on, Zayn comes back to town for their mutual friends’ wedding – with a new girlfriend as her plus one.

Blindsided and scrambling to save face, Louis lets herself get talked into a fake relationship with her new friend Harry. Their arrangement makes Louis feel pathetic and embarrassed, but it’s only going to last a few weeks. She just has to get through the wedding – what could happen?

2. don’t want no other shade of blue by @louisisworthit | i love when omega!louis is just mad about everything because #relatable - strangers to enemies (in louis’ mind) to lovers - fantasy royal AU - somewhat arranged marriage - 43k

“All I’ve heard over the past couple of years are rumours of Prince Louis’ kindness, and generosity, and oh, he’s so handsome I can barely pour his tea without shaking!” says Harry, putting on a silly, high-pitched voice for the last bit. Louis’ scowl deepens. “I would already know if you were just another selfish, bratty omega prince. You can’t fool me, darling, but I admire your efforts.”

“As you said,” Louis grits out, “those are only rumours. I assure you, I’m a terrible person.”

3. Per Aspera by sedfierisentio | it’s sad boi hours, y’all - takes place 2016-2019 -  light bdsm - great character/relationship study - lots of references, so it hurts - 10k

Harry hums, but doesn’t say anything for long minutes. Then, still looking away, just a random, indefinite spot on the floor, he whispers, “I like all moments with you, even the nasty ones.” He inhales deeply and adds, voice thin like paper, light as a feather. “I know your bad taste. I know your bitterness and your hurt. I know everything. I love you still, and I can swallow that down.” He turns around to look at him, reaches out, fixes his soft fringe. “Thank you for swallowing mine.”

Louis’s throat feels tight, his heart like a hammer in his chest. You know my rot, he thinks, and I know yours. I love you still.

4. Don’t Have to Be Good to Be My Girl by @homosociallyyours | girl direction - hey megan? thanks for making me realize things while reading this - kink exploration - mild sub drop - daddy Louis - 12k

When Harry discovers her daddy kink quite by accident one night, she's surprised that it's something both she and Louis want to explore further. It takes a lot of talking and some doing, but when it works, it's oh so good.

5. Canyon Moon by @eeveelou | I absolutely loved the world building in this one ! - werewolf AU - arranged marriage - playing with gender - Lion King and thus Hamlet AU - 40k

For as long as Louis has remembered, he has been promised to be mated to Harry, his best friend and the future pack alpha. But Louis’s heart belonged to the forest and to the hunt more than he could ever imagine it belonging to Harry.

Then Harry’s father dies in a violent accident, and Louis’s future alpha disappears on the wind.

6. one Sole will Survive by @lt2soon | my knowledge about Survivor is just that Potterless live episode and I was able to follow it! - Survivor au - fake relationship - some great strategizing on what each person would probably do - the amount of times I just wanted them TO JUST KISS AND TALK was astronomical - 70k

Louis would like to believe that nobody witnessed that moment; that it was just for him and Harry. But Louis also knows better. Harry is playing a role that Louis forced him into.

And in a few months, it will be broadcasted to millions of people on their televisions.

7. Let Me Feel Your Heartbeat by @angelichl | this fic was very hot and very feel-y - misunderstandings - a/b/o - these boys need to learn communication!! - I really liked the dynamics between the two, it felt very real and aaaaa!! - 34k

Harry is 98% sure Louis hates him. So he feels like his bewilderment is justified when the omega offers to help him through his rut.

8. Bigger Ain’t Always Better! by lovelarry10 | this was !! so incredibly cute -  everything i never knew I wanted - friends with benefits - birthday sex - I’m trying to not add spoilers - 10k

Harry buys Louis a rather naughty birthday present, and they eagerly hurry back to Harry's flat, eager to try it out. Neither of them expect what happens next....

I did a lot of rereading this month, so get ready for some classics! Thank you to all fic writers, new and old to their fandoms, for creating worlds for us to run away to! This fic rec includes 6 fics from the Teen Wolf and the Witcher fandoms!

Sterek (Teen Wolf)

1. Together, Unfold by vipertooths | everyone lives AU - idiots in love - oblivious Stiles - 5+1 format - 3k

“Everyone thinks we’re dating.” Derek blinks at him once, twice, thrice. “What?” “Dating. Going steady. An item. Courting. Seeing each other. Romantically ent—” “I know what dating is."

2. #omegaproblems by subnivean | a/b/o - stiles babysits a kid - omega Stiles - Derek is a deputy who doesn’t know how to interact with hot omegas - 12k

Stiles didn't need an alpha. He might want one, though.

3. “Bunnies are cute, Stiles.” by limesnapdragon | werebunny Stiles - Derek is a toasted marshmallow - Scott isn’t a bad friend! hooray! - better S1 - 56k

A season one rewrite where Stiles is the one who gets bitten, not Scott. It doesn't exactly pan out as planned but Stiles has Derek to help him through the weirdness.

4. Sweet Buns by @pantstomatch | aaaaaaaaa this always warm and fuzzy to reread - omega Stiles - misunderstandings (about everything) - childhood enemies to lovers - 17k

Stiles hasn’t seen Derek Hale this close up for over a decade. He looks almost exactly the same, except somehow he seems even bigger and broodier—criminally handsome, with soft-looking dark scruff, heavy brows, light hazel eyes. His gaze zeros in on Stiles almost immediately, and his scowl lightens minutely in what looks like surprise.

Stiles is acutely aware that he has melted butter and cinnamon all over his face, and tries to surreptitiously wipe it with the ends of his sweater-sleeve.

Geraskier (The Witcher)

1. With a Conquering Air by @inexplicifics | Geralt killed some corrupt (monster) kings AU - strangers to friends to lovers - dad Geralt feels!! - found family - 27k

Jaskier arrives at Kaer Morhen knowing his family gave him up without a second thought, and absolutely sure that the dreaded Warlord of the North will value him even less than his own blood did. But the White Wolf and his pack are not what Jaskier expected...and if he's unreasonably lucky, Kaer Morhen might become far more of a home than Lettenhove ever was.

2. Kingdoms Come and Kingdoms Go, Rivers Run and Rivers Flow by @dancinglassie | aaaaaaaaa I will never shut up about how good this AU is!! - river god Jaskier - Geralt please assess situations better!! - river god family dynamics is tbh the best part -  62k

Jaskier's start in life was unfortunate, but sadly not unheard of. He was put in a sack, less than an hour old, and chucked in the river. For many in his position that would of been the end of it, but the Yaruga heard his cut off wail and swept him into her loving embrace.

Less than an hour old and Jaskier had already died and been reborn as the newest child of Mama Yaruga.

Sorry for the wait! I feel like I fell into a pit last month...a Marvel pit, that is. Sorry y'all, but in August all I read and rec was Tony-centric stories! Thank you to all the Team Iron Man writers out there! This fic rec includes 17 fics starring WinterIron, IronStrange, FrostIron, and Misc.

WinterIron

1. Still Waters by @tsuki-chibi | i love this author so much - Tony is a silver fox - why do people stand up for Wanda again? - AU of Ultron - 12k

James didn't know what to think when he stumbled across an older version of Tony Stark who claimed to be from the future. He had no idea that agreeing to help Stark to stop the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver would change everything.

2. Classic Sci-Fi by @notdoingsohot | Steve is a bad friend, but we knew this - Loki's a bro but not at all - '40's Bucky is cute af - all the feels - 18k

Bucky wakes up to Steve telling him he's lost his memory, but not to panic, it'll only last a few days. Easier said than done when the last thing Bucky remembers is fighting Hydra with the Howlies in WWII.

He tries to make the most of it however, and there's this guy... Tony Stark. It's pretty clear the guy hates Bucky's guts, which is unfortunate because god damn is he a sight.

He tries to figure out what he did to wrong Stark, but everyone just tells him he doesn't want to know.

3. Changing Fate by Wix | time travel - it's technically pre-slash but it's gay - everyone needs a hug - tried but true trope - 27k

Tony dies in Siberia under the hands of Captain America, but fate doesn't leave it there. He opens his eyes several years earlier amidst the threat of Loki's invasion and the first assembling of the 'Avengers'. Tony may not understand why he got this second chance, but he's going to do better with it - and he's decided that he's going to share it. With a Winter Soldier who could really use a different hand than he was dealt.

Never let it be said that fate doesn't have a sense of humor.

WinterStrange

4. List of Questions (Civil War Team Iron Man) series by izumi2 | this series is so fucking good - there are so many things that did not make sense in any universe that this fic fixes - listen, I wouldn't trust Team Captain America with anything - 28+ parts

Unrelated (or not) one shots. You can read separetely or as part of the same 'universe'.

'What if' situations where questions are raised and answered in an AU.

5. Another Way by @respect-tony-stark | this is literally such a slow burn and it's fucking great - this fic is a balm to my soul that never stops giving - Tony has mental illnesses that needs to be treated!! - #teamironman - 85k+

Everyone assumed things started to fall apart during their Civil War, but Tony could tell dynamics were off way before then. It started after Ultron. Tony was trying to hold onto the pieces just as much as everyone else, but maybe the team didn't want to as much as they thought they did. Tony just hoped that Steve and everyone else would get over Ultron.

Then Tony found out about a certain Winter Soldier and December of 1991. Tony wasn't irrational. He'd give Steve a chance to confess, but there were a lot more things wrong with their team than secrets. It was time for Tony to realize that.

6. A Second Chance (To Get It Right) by DobbyRocksSocks | this is what I wish Endgame had been - hindsight is 20/20 and it's delicious - the Steve & Tony interactions hurt - just crying about Aunt Peggy - 22k

Stephen knows there's only one way to win the war against Thanos. Tony wishes he knew what the hell was happening, and just how he's waking up in 2010 with JARVIS telling him the time and date.

7. Poison in My Veins by ArcticVulpix | listen, watching the What If...? episode right after this made me feel justified - JARVIS loves Sir so much - not SHIELD friendly because fuck them - also the reason why I went on a tangent while showing my partner Iron Man 2 - 2k

What if injecting Tony with an unknown chemical during the Palladium poisoning incident had more realistic consequences? After all, they couldn't know what medication Tony was on. And how it would react to their 'cure'.

JARVIS is not happy.

8. ironstrange vs. the rogues series by imposterhuman | feat. some juicy past-Stony - it's just great to see peeps take Tony's side - Rogues didn't realize how much shit Tony put up with to help them not fail as a team - #teamironman - 13+ parts

the rogue avengers return, only, tony isnt alone this time

9. Tony and the Neurosurgeon by ArcticVulpix | part of a great series [Anyone But Steve Rogers] - cw: mind control and sexual harassment - Clint is a bro - protective JARVIS - 10k

JARVIS would only accept the best for sir. So a doctor who can keep up with Tony's banter and with a high enough intelligence to understand him was pretty high up on the list.

FrostIron

10. Tears by Arabesqueangel | dying after getting rejected from soulmate AU - enemies to lovers - Thor: Ragnarok canon-divergent - Jotunn Loki is best Loki - 11k

Thor says they are headed to Earth. Loki is understandably dreading their arrival. It's not just his own actions on Earth the last time that are causing him pause. It's the knowledge that Tony Stark is his soulmate and he can never know... no matter how much it hurts.

Update

Hey y’all! Sorry for taking a while with the last request I have. I’ve been sick for about a week and it’s been so humid over here that I can barely think in the heat. Nonetheless I am working on the last request and it should be done by the middle of the week at most. And once I’m done with it I’ll reopen requests. So if anyone has sent requests during the closed period IT WILL BE DELETED. I only say this because I have gotten 2 requests during the closed period, and I close it so requests don’t pile up, but of course you can resend the request once I reopen them. Thanks for understanding and I hope you all have a wonderful day! ✨💕✨
