the house looks so different now it’s so pretty but I can’t help but think
the house is covered now in the colors of nolan’s omniman costume with the pale greyish-blue and red tones. i have never seen a character haunt the narrative as much as that man

this might be a silly question, i dunno how much arcane fanfic you read. but i wanted to ask if you had any favorites or recommendations? genuinely curious. nottttt that i need any more bookmarks (my tbr list is screaming in agony :3), but i always like to talk about fanfic with people.
especially arcane?? a few of my toh mutuals do rb content, but since ive been getting into arcane/caitvi more i havent quite sunk my teeth in to all of the content thats out there. and also like i dont want to bother people with talking about things that arent fully in the toh fandom too much because i dunno where my mutual overlap of toh/arcane is.
i mostly read caitvi centered fics but im low key down for almost anything. i do need to read more jinx fics but i always seem to see them ship related(?). this might be controversial but i really cant see her being shipped??? ship jinx with therapy. she is unwell. repair the doomed sisters PLEASE.
getting sidetracked mb, but hey, if you have any recommendations or fics you like please feel free to let me know or drop them my way!! if anything ill most likely read them and want to talk about them sm ill explode. /pos.
...just please no major character death </3 i beg.
sorry for the random ass ask lol. hope u dont mind.
always send me random ass asks I 4 sure don’t mind! I’ll give you them in an ask answer 4 now, if by some random chance the author (s) see this and wish for it to be removed I’ll send it privately.
I have two recommendations, both them caitvi so I’m glad you like that pairing. I KNOW I’ve read and liked more than two but ig I haven’t bookmarked them yet. I’ll comb through my history later and see if I can find a few others :3
And yeah it really sucks I haven’t found any good jinx centered fics. I feel like no one gets her voice right? Idk.
My favorite caitvi fic is called Butterflies (Don’t belong in zoos) an it’s a pop star au. It’s very good, got a drop of angst, overall just amazing. Only warning is it EARNS that explicit rating so uh. Don’t read it in public? Unless you can control your facial expressions :}
The other one I have bookmarked is also very good! It’s called The Threads Of Fate Tangle and Twist. It’s a prison fic and it’s pretty intense but it is worth it I promise. As far as I remember it’s not too bad as far as explicit content but I have a horrid memory so
if you read these pls come and yap with me I’ll be thrilled! Imma go try and find a few more

I wake up to the faint sound of birdsong, blinking in the sunlight streaming across my face. I stretch out my arms and legs, letting out a long yawn before sitting up in bed, the warmth in the room having me push the covers away as I look out through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the other side of the room.
Every day since I got here, I’ve woken up to a forest view. At first, the trees were still as dead as they are when it’s mid-winter, brittle and bare. Slowly, over the past three months of my stay, they’ve come back to life, little buds appearing along their branches. I wondered what would grow – leaves, or maybe flowers, like orchids or magnolia. And now, on my 90th day of rehab, they’re covered in pale pink cherry blossom, beautiful and bright to bring in summer.
The morning after Mason came over to my house, we woke up early after sleeping in each other’s arms the entire night. He phoned the rehab centre I stayed at a few years ago while I packed a quick bag with enough of my things to last a couple nights. He drove us here, checked me in and paid the fee, as well as setting up a payment plan so that the money for my stay here would come out of his pocket.
They showed us both to my room, a different one than last time, and we were allowed a few moments to say goodbye, knowing it’d be a while until we’d be able to see each other again.
The comedown started a few hours after he left. I cried and screamed and begged and swore and broke everything in this room that I could. I eventually wore myself out, falling asleep curled in a ball in the corner, and I woke up in the bed, the room back to how it was when I arrived, like nothing had happened at all.
It’s gotten easier. The group therapy sessions have helped a lot, and the personal therapy sessions have been difficult but they’ve helped too. I’ve spent my time writing music and poetry, playing tennis and football, swimming and dancing and falling in love with life again. I’ve even made some new friends, learned things from the older women and taught things to the younger girls.
It hasn’t all been so fun though. I’ve had a fair few difficult moments, times when I’ve considered checking myself out to go and get high, days when I’ve felt low enough to end everything, breakdowns when I’ve smashed things against the wall and screamed at the staff and cried enough tears to make my eyes red and dry.
But let’s not dwell on that. I’d rather focus on the positive. Because I can say with happiness that I am 90-days-sober, and I can say with confidence that in this fight against addiction, I’m winning! My programme finishes today, and if all goes well, I never have to come back here again. No matter how good this place has been to me, I’d gladly go the rest of my life without even a glimpse of this rehab again.
I slowly get out of bed, getting ready for my last group session before I get to leave, thinking about what my life’s gonna be like when I get home. I’m nervous about reconnecting with everyone, apologising and making amends and coming back out into the world. But, luckily, what would normally be my biggest concern hasn’t worried me at all.
My closest friends and family got to come and visit me, once a week, so at least there’s nothing to be nervous about with them. I was so worried on the day of the first visit, wondering who it’d be. I’m only allowed three visitors at once, so I guessed it’d be my parents and my sister, but when Isla and Steph walked in, I realised just how much I’d been hoping it was them.
The three of us cried the entire time they were here, and I apologised to them over and over again, the weight slowly lifting from my shoulders every time they forgave me. I went to sleep that night much happier knowing that my best friends, my soul-sisters, still loved me just as much as they always have.
The following week was my parents and sister, another emotional visit, but again, I was left a lot happier after their visit. I was so comforted by being back in our typical brown family dynamic, with my dad’s inability to talk about his emotions but trying his best to show me his love anyway, my mum’s constant fussing and my little sister’s childish teasing.
Lisa visited the next week, having a go at me every time I tried to talk about work and giving me some tough love, the tears in her eyes betraying her. After Lisa was Steph and Isla again, that time with Ben, and they came again the next week with Callum instead. It made me so happy to see them both with their boyfriends, still going as strong as ever. Soph, Sasha and Lauren visited the next week, bringing a letter from Leah with them, and we had a good old girly gossip, the three of them filling me in on all the latest dramas.
And then, finally, Mason came to see me the week after. For some reason, I’d convinced myself that he wasn’t gonna come and visit, so I couldn’t believe my eyes when he walked in, and I don’t think I’d ever run across a room so quick, flinging myself into his arms like a military wife seeing her husband after years, his laughter like music to my ears.
We avoided all serious talk about what we are, instead spending the entire time flirting, bickering and gossiping, just like we spent our holiday together in Santorini. Everyone brought me gifts, but the one from Mason is my favourite, even though I’d never admit it to him. He brought a big box, with two blue butterflies and a tiny blue moon in between them embroidered on the lid, and a collection of memories in it.
A frayed class picture from Year 8 where we were stood together in the front row (we used to be the same height before he had a bit of a growth spurt). A scribbled note I’d written him in Year 10 English class asking if he could get me the number of one of his ‘footballer friends’ because I wanted to be a WAG. My first ever merch, a t-shirt with the album artwork from my first album on it. Tickets from every single show of mine he’s ever attended, all the way from the very first one to the most recent one, the surprise one at the O2. A little jar of sand from the beach in Santorini.
It was a highlights reel of our tumultuous relationship, and he said his sole intention of giving me all these things was a reminder. The box wasn’t even close to being half-full, and he said he wanted me to stay sober and work hard to get out of rehab so that we can fill it to the brim.
He came back to visit a couple times, all of them did, but my favourite visit has to be when Ben came to see me a couple weeks ago. He came alone, which surprised me, and we just gossiped for an hour or so, filling each other in on everything that had happened since we last saw each other. Around ten minutes before the visit ended, he took a nervous breath, saying he needed to ask me something important.
He pulled a ring box out of his pocket, and I instantly burst into tears, not even giving him a chance to explain. Once I’d calmed down, he said he’d been wanting to propose to Steph for a couple months, but was waiting to ask for my permission first. I gave it, telling him to leave and propose to her right that second, but he said he would wait until I was sober and out of rehab, wanting me to be there so I can celebrate with them and all of the rest of our friends.
I think about what their wedding’s gonna be like as I get ready, and once I’m finished, my nurse comes in to take me down to group therapy, both of us excited about it being my last day of treatment. Therapy starts as it normally does, going around the group and discussing anything we want to, before a few speeches at the end. There’s one 30-dayer, two 60-dayers and me, the only 90-dayer, and they let our loved ones in to hear our speeches.
My heart warms at all of them coming in, my parents, my sister, Lisa, Steph, Ben, Isla, Callum and Mason. They all wave at me excitedly as I stand up on the stage, getting the small slip of paper out of my pocket, clearing my throat nervously.
‘Today, I can officially say I am 90 days sober. 90 days sober. Three little words. It sounds so simple, but the process to get here was far from it. It’s been so difficult, and I would never have been able to get here without the help of all the staff here at the centre. You guys are a godsend, and I’m so grateful to you all for putting up with my dramas,’ I joke, a light laugh rippling around the room.
‘I also want to thank the other patients here. It’s such a lovely community, and you’re the best group of people to be going through this uphill journey with. I’m so proud of you all, and I have every faith that you will all stand here like I am and announce yourselves to be 90 days sober.
My final thank you goes to my loved ones, the ones sat at the back of the room. I’ve put them all through hell in the last four and a half months. I can’t even imagine the worry they must have all felt when I was in LA, and I can only apologise for my behaviour whilst I was out there.
The behaviour that followed in the month after LA was even worse. I didn’t realise how lucky I was, having these amazing people trying to check on me and help me, and pushing them all away is one of my biggest regrets. I treated them all so badly, and yet they never stopped trying. They still came to visit me, brought me gifts and love, and gave me the drive to stay sober.
But… to say I want to be sober for them would be a lie. Because instead, they’ve made me want to be sober for myself. They’ve made me realise the value in myself and my life, and I can’t thank them all enough for helping me to see that I deserve better, and that I owe it to myself to be sober.
With every one of their visits, they gave me more and more motivation to get back to my life. To visit my family more often and not rely on a weekly facetime call to check on the people who I spent my childhood with, a childhood full of light and love. To cherish the precious time I get to spend with my friends, to appreciate how priceless every single moment of laughter with them is. To throw myself back into work and reignite my passion, to get back on the stage and to spend hours in the recording and dance studios, crafting pieces of art with my genius of a manager. To create more memories with someone who’s slowly worming his way into my… affections, no matter how much I try to fight it. To bear witness to the special moments and milestones in their lives, to be there for the days that they’re happy and sad and everything in between.
I don’t want to go on too long, but I just have one last to thing to say. I got you all a little gift, just a little butterfly keyring. A good friend gave me a bracelet with a butterfly pendant on it, and his reasoning for the gift was so that I could remember the happiness I felt at the time he gave it to me. This place probably isn’t one that we’ll all remember for happiness, but we should still remember it anyway. For the strength that it took to come here, the strength that it takes to get to this point, and the strength that it’ll take to leave here sober. Thank you.’
I look at my loved ones at the back of the room for the first time once I finish my speech, heart warm at the applause, and I feel myself getting teary at how emotional they all look. I hand out the butterfly keyrings that the staff ordered in for me, all of the patients thanking me with big smiles. By the time I’m done saying all my goodbyes, tears run steadily down my face, my heart light. Maybe rehab won’t be such a painful memory after all.
I head over to the little group at the back of the room, all of them embracing me one-by-one, complimenting me on my speech and telling me how proud they are. ‘Right, come on. Party at ours in a couple hours,’ Ben says cheerfully, and I look at him open-mouthed, relieved when he says it’s a joke. ‘No parties for this one for a while,’ Lisa says sternly, my mum nodding in agreement, and I can’t help but laugh at the two of them.
‘Don’t worry, I’m all partied out. I just want to go home and binge-watch Bridgerton or something,’ I smile, leaning into Mason as he slides an arm around my waist, my head on his shoulder. My mum and dad exchange an unsubtle glance at the physical contact (they don’t really use the internet – thank god – so anything they know about my career/love life, they hear from my sister, and I’m relieved she doesn’t seem to have told them too much).
‘Shall we… do you want us all to come back to your house, y/n?’ my mum asks, eyes sparkling with mirth, and I cringe internally at the way they all look at me amusedly. ‘Um… I think I could do with a day to just… settle back in,’ I say awkwardly, all of them nodding as they try to hold back their laughter.
My nurse comes over to let me know that my bags are ready in reception, and we head out after one last goodbye. Mason has to check me out, considering he’s the one that checked me in, whilst Ben and Callum take my bags outside. Once Mason’s done with the paperwork, he holds a hand out to me and I take it, arm tingling at the contact as he grins, leading me outside to wear they’re all waiting.
‘Right, all your bags are in Mason’s car. He’s gonna drive you home. Make sure you text us all when you get back. Let’s do brunch or something tomorrow,’ Ben says firmly, and I’m so glad he’s given us instructions rather than me having to ask who’s taking me home. ‘Sounds good. Thank you all for coming,’ I say shyly, and they all hug me again.
We all head to separate cars, Mason’s hand on my lower back as he leads me over to his car. He opens the door for me, helping me in, and I connect my phone to with Bluetooth while he climbs into the driver’s seat.
‘I was thinking… do you wanna grab some lunch on the way? I bet you’ve missed takeaways,’ he says distractedly, doing that sexy thing that boys do when they reverse, his hand on the back of my seat and his head turned to look through the back windshield. ‘I have, but I’ve missed home cooked meals even more. They let me do some baking in the kitchen a couple times but I couldn’t do any actual cooking. I just wanna make some Indian food,’ I say longingly, the boy chuckling as he nods.
‘I’ll just drop you straight off then,’ he says, and I look over at him in confusion. ‘Drop me off? No, stay with me,’ I say, and he raises an eyebrow. ‘Are you sure? Don’t you want to just chill?’ ‘Yeah, but I want you there with me,’ I say coyly, and his lips curve up into a grin. ‘Yeah?’ ‘Mmhmm. You can help me… settle in,’ I murmur, leaning across the console and resting a hand on his leg.
He glances down at my hand before looking back up at the road, taking a deep breath, the muscles in his cheek jumping with the effort of holding himself together. ‘y/n, it’s been four and a half months since I… you know. So don’t do this to me,’ he says, voice strained, and I can’t help but smile. ‘Don’t worry, Mase. I’ll make it worth the wait,’ I grin, leaning to press a kiss to his cheek, and he just chuckles, shaking his head.
‘Anyway… how much did rehab cost? I’ll need to pay you back,’ I say, and he instantly starts waving me off. ‘You don’t need to.’ ‘Mason-’ ‘No, y/n. You being sober and healthy is more than enough repayment for me. You don’t need to pay me back,’ he says firmly, his tone indicating I shouldn’t argue, and I just let out a little sigh.
‘Are you sure?’ ‘I’m sure, babe. It was barely a dent on my account,’ he says, putting on a false snooty tone, and I raise an eyebrow at him. ‘Oh, really, Money Mase? Making the big money, are we? Is that how you managed to afford tracking down this bracelet from the Californian forest?’ I ask, and he bursts out laughing.
‘y/n, Christian went straight outside after you threw it and found it after about twenty minutes because you didn’t throw it very far. He texted me about it the same day and then sent it over in the post. I didn’t, like, hire a search-and-rescue team,’ he laughs, and my heart warms at the thought that Christian went to look for it.
‘I’m really sorry about that. Throwing the bracelet out the window. I was high and emotional and-’ ‘It’s fine, y/n. I know I probably should be upset about it, but I’m not. Because it means that you cared,’ he says softly, a faint blush painting his cheeks, and I practically melt at how sweet he is.
‘Thank you,’ I say suddenly, and he glances at me questioningly. ‘For what, babe?’ ‘Everything. Staying through everything I did. I just… I really appreciate that even though all that stuff happened in LA and I literally went to rehab, you waited for me,’ I say softly, and he grins, taking my hand and lifting it so he can press his lips to the back of it, speaking against my skin, ‘4 and a half months is nothing, y/n. I’d wait an entire lifetime for you.’
‘That was smooth. Been working on that line?’ I ask amusedly, ignoring the butterflies going crazy in my stomach, and he chuckles, nodding. ‘I’ve had nearly your entire rehab stint to work on it so I’d be embarrassed if it wasn’t smooth,’ he grins, making me giggle. I can’t help but smile, my heart feeling happy with my hand in his, on our way home.

Murder Made Us Do It
Part Twelve: A History On Cults
When a killer targeting couples manages to avoid both the Justice League and the Devil Fugitives, the two “enemies” decide to work together to bring him down. How do you catch a killer targeting couples? You bait him with couples. It couldn’t go wrong, right?
TW WARNINGS: Mentions of child abuse, death, human experimentation, kidnapping, electroshock therapy, phycological abuse, phycological horror, gunshot wounds, autopsies, bullet removal, shrapnel removal, animal abuse, organs outside of the body, starvation, forced iv, blood.
Probably over tagged but I figured better safe than sorry. Anyways idk how much I like this but its good enough! I hope those of you ok with reading it like it!
SUMMARIZED VERSION WITHOUT ALL THE TRIGGERS
ALSO, if you like it pls comment or reblog with your thoughts bc i would love to hear them :D
“I really hate to have to be the one to say it… But ever since we cut contact, Matchmaker hasn’t shown up, we’ve all been feeling like we’re being watched, and we keep hearing about these people with smiley face masks. Something is going on and the only people who knew all the details are Bruce, Dick, Jason, Tim, Jacob and ourselves. The onl-” Alistair looked ready to cry.
“And the only one who wouldn’t face direct problems from it would be Jacob.” Ry finished for him.
“But he took us in, helped us learn how to function in society, got us therapy and countless other things. Why would he do something like this?” It didn’t make sense, why would he put so much effort into helping the three of you while helping the other side.
“The biggest question is who’s he helpi-” A hand clamped over your mouth and held you down, within seconds Ali and Ry were pinned as well. A familiar weight was clamped over your neck and the pain that came with it was just as bad as you remembered.
“No! Please! I promise I’ll be good!” You begged the man in the white coat. “I promise! I’ll sit still and I won’t hurt anyone I’m not supposed to! Just please don’t put the collar on! It hurts so much!” He hadn’t listened and the power restraining collar had been forced on despite your begging.
You were pulled from your memories when you were lifted up after being securely cuffed. Jacob stood up front, talking with one of the old scientists you thought had been killed. He glanced over and smirked. His eyes didn’t hold the warmth you were used to. It was like he was someone else entirely.
“Get them in the van. Make sure no one notices.” 
Why couldn’t nice things last.
Tim looked down at his phone when it pinged. Alistair. A soft smile grew on his face and the rest of the family grinned to themselves. It was cute and good blackmail material. 
“What’d your boyfriend say?”
“It’s just a location. Their hou-” He was cut off by the sound of Jason’s phone. Ry judging by the look on his face. He stepped away to answer before coming back and putting it on speaker. It sounded like Trash. The chatter was clearly a racoon and he sounded upset.
“The SOS.” Dick looked sick.
“What.” Bruce stood up.
“Y/n told me that they have a three part SOS and that the order they would come in would be Alistair, Ry, and then her. But her part was just a bunch of numbers and a book-” He typed through his phone before  showing them a screenshot with a series of numbers. 
“That's a safe code.”
“We need to go now!”
The entire group moved fast, getting into costume before getting into vehicles and speeding away. Within record time they were entering the house. Everything looked normal until two disturbed animals came running in. Trash waved them in while Appa started moving further into the house. 
They were led to a bookshelf that Trash scaled until he reached one book and tugged, looking back at the group. Damian stepped forward.
“A history of Cults?” He reached out and grabbed the book to pull it out but it only went so far before it stopped and they heard a click. Appa yowled from her spot on the ground, front paws up on the bookshelf and almost mimicking pushing it. Steph moved to help the cat and the bookshelf moved easily revealing a safe. The safe’s door was ripped off and it was empty.
“They go-” Appa yowled, interrupting Bruce and turning their eyes down to where Trash was acting something out.
“Behind it!” Jason moved and started inspecting the safe, Tim joining him. “Here. Pull!” The safe was moved and under it was another safe. “The code!” Dick put in the code and the door opened. He pulled out three files and a notebook. On the front of the books, in all caps, READ IN A SECURE LOCATION! Back to the Batcave, this time, they called the rest of the league to join them. 
“Why are we here?”
“The three from Devil’s Fugitives. Ghost, Cryptic, and Hacker have been kidnapped. We don’t know why or by who but they left us everything to get into their safe where we pulled these.” Bruce set the files and the notebook on the table. “We’re going to go over them and see if we can get any information off of them.”
“Ok, why is Dick holding a cat and a raccoon clinging to Jason?”
“They’re the girl’s pets.” 
The first file was scanned in and within seconds the first page was pulled up. 
Subject 404
It was Alistair’s judging by his ability listed. The reality of how bad it was, slowly started sinking in. They all saw the signs of past trauma, wasted as the three refused to explain things they had asked about, how how they all had weird habits that seemed off. But they never would have realized the full extent.
They hadn’t even gotten past the first page with the training plan. Just the training plan. But it was horrific. The detailed daily schedule consisted of electroshock therapy, whatever the hell fear training was, 6 hours of training daily, then an additional 4 hours of mental training as well as a whole slew of other things they didn’t want to figure out.
The second page was worse. It was the scientist's notes. While it was all important and all extremely twisted, a few things stood out to them.
—---
Today pain training went well, the subject barely flinched when he was shot. Tomorrow we’ll try multiple shots.
—---
The subject is starting to settle down. He’s not trying to make friends anymore and he’s going quietly when the guards go get him.
—---
The subject is showing signs of fear towards rats. Tomorrow he’ll go through fear training and will be locked in a cage with them until he’s no longer afraid.
—---
Today we introduced the subject to another to compare compatibility.
—---
The subject seems to be working well with Subject 532. 
—---
The Subject and Subject 532 will be introduced to the third. 
—---
Subjects 404, 532, and 673 have been introduced and started training together. Its only a matter of time before our goals are completed.
—---
The subjects seem to be getting too friendly. He was put down.
—---
During Subject 404’s autopsy, 31 bullets, 45 shrapnel, and 392 foreign items were removed. They’re currently in the process of fixing the broken bones, once that’s complete we’ll move onto the enhanced Lazurus pit injections we created.
—---
The injection was just inserted into the subject's heart. Now it’s a waiting game
—---
The subject’s heart has started beating on its own.
—---
One of the side effects seems to be a change in blood color, It's now a dark turquoise. 
—---
The first training session since the revival has revealed an increase of physical abilities.
—---
The subjects are still too close. When a guard tried to separate them, he was killed without hesitation. They’re getting stronger, we’re getting closer.
The only sound in the cave was Tim’s sobs. It was horrific. No one wanted to move onto the other files but they had too. They needed a clue as to where they would be.
The Next file was labeled Subject 532. It was Ry’s. The first page was basically the same, all the normal information a doctors office would have and then another horrible schedule plan. The Rest of the file was notes, and they braced themselves for the worst. 
—---
Subject 532 is doing well with the fear training. It only takes an hour for her to get over most fears. 
—---
The subject is still overly friendly with others but that could work as a cover so we’re letting it slide for now.
—---
We’ve found a good punishment for the subject since meals weren’t enough leverage. Give her punishments to the animals she trains with and she’ll break.
—---
The subject was introduced to a potential teammate. Subject 404. We’re not sure how it will go yet.
—---
The two subjects seem to be working well together. We’ll adjust their training to match
—---
A Third subject will be introduced. It’s earlier than planned but we’re progressing well. 
—---
The first training with the third is going well. They’ve seemed to click well. Training will be adjusted again
—---
The subject has gotten too close with the others. We were afraid of this. Subject 532 has been terminated.
—---
Subject 532’s autopsy went well. All foreign objects were removed and bones and organs were patched up. Her organs will be placed in the body and the Enhanced Lazarus Pit serum will be injected tomorrow
—---
The Subject's heart has started beating. It’s estimated she’ll be back up in less than a week
—---
There's been a change in blood color as well as a few other vitals.
—---
The first training session went well. The subject is showing signs of advanced physical abilities and increased aggression. More testing will be needed to find the limit
—---
The subjects are still too close. When separation is mentioned around them they go ballistic. Its only a matter of time before they’re too strong for any chains mankind can create
Jason looked sick, between crying and screaming. No one could blame him. The things they read in the last hour were horrible. No one should have to go through anything like that. They continued on.
Subject #673
—---
Starvation training is going good. It’s been 6 days since her last meal and she hasn’t broken yet.
—---
The subject seems to be avoiding others, that's good for now
—---
The subject refused to drink anything again today. We’ll have to use an IV
—---
The subject is doing well with most of her training. She’s being prepared for her introduction with the other two subjects.
—---
The subject wasn’t working well with the other two until a little into the session. They’ll be good together
—---
Training has been adjusted to better match the three of them. However the subjects appear to be getting too close.
—---
As feared, the subjects became too close to each other. Subject 673 was killed.
—---
The subject was autopsied and put back together with the Enhanced Lazarus Pit liquid injected into her heart at the end. 
—---
Her vitals are returning to normal and she should be ready to go soon. Her blood has started to change color.
—---
The first training session has revealed an increase in physical ability. This will do wonders for our goal.
—---
The subject has started showing signs of increased hostility, right now sh-
It abruptly cut off and blood could be seen at the bottom of the paper. There was nothing to help there. Just a list and descriptions of the horrors the three went through. That left their only hope in the notebook.
The three boys had seen enough, they had spent the last 7 months getting closer to them only to have them ripped from them and then shown the horrors the three had grown up with. But they needed to find them. They needed to save them. And they needed information for that

Well I just watched episode 23. Here are my thoughts. 🥲
Spoilers for TWD season 11 episode 23. Don’t read if you haven’t watched it because some shit goes down.
Love that they’re all heading for commonwealth to fuck shit up
Ok I am actually pissed tf off about Daryl letting Judith come with them. Daryl she’s like 11 years old. Idc how “tough” she is, she should not be allowed to fight in a literal warzone where there are automatic rifles being shot at your people. I absolutely HATE how they’ve written Daryl to allow that. They’re making him make such a stupid ass decision that I feel like he would never make (another OOC moment because the writers don’t know Daryl as a character anymore). Daryl makes stupid decisions sometimes, but this is beyond stupid. Daryl, I know you would be a better parent than that and yet they’ve written you like you have the common sense of a potato
Also Judith begging to go with them all the time is so annoying to me like girl you are a literal child know your place read the room and stop trying to be an adult it’s just annoying at this point we get it your parents were Rick and Michonne pls shut up about it🙄
Hi when am I supposed to start caring about Annie or her and Negan’s stupid unborn baby I think I missed the memo
NOT LYDIA. NOT LYDIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I gasped. When I tell you I sat up in my bed at 3am and GASPED. I love Lydia so much. But at least it was just her arm and Aaron was with her and helped amputate, but still. Also when Aaron said “you are so loved Lydia” 🥹 I love this man so much you don’t understand he is actually the best character right next to Daryl don’t @ me I’m right also I cared more about Lydia than I did Judith in this ep 🫣
I hope Elijah and Jerry make it in the herd, but tbh I am not going to get my hopes up because they are both fair game at this point unfortunately 😔 who is going to take care of Jerry’s 20 kids
I love that Mercer is helping them out now! He really is a great character I think. It’s just so frustrating that he got snitched on but you know what they say about snitches
Ezekiel pls you don’t have to be nice to Negan it’s ok (I love him for that tho, we stan a bigger person) also if they kill Ezekiel I will stab someone anyway
I really really hope Rosita finds her baby. I wonder why Coco wasn’t at Alexandria like the other kids??
Connie is so sweet to that guy idk his name but you know. That guy. Too bad he DIES
Oh yeah and Judith gets shot. Um so I am not a big Judith fan at all so like obviously I am slightly sad but also… I mostly just care about how Daryl is going to deal with it because he is totally going to blame himself (as he should bc WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN BESTIE 😭). Daryl has lost so many people and he always blames himself for it and idk it just really bothers me that they’re doing this to him AGAIN like let my man have ONE DAY where someone’s death isn’t indirectly his fault and/or affects him greatly. We don’t even know if Judith is gonna die but yeah it’s not looking good. I mean they’re not going to get great medical care in the middle of a full-blown war AND a walker attack (with the advanced updated DLC version of walkers thrown in too)
I honestly don’t care that much if Judith dies but I also don’t want Daryl to have to deal with that because DAMN he is going to be devastated he has lost so much man it’s really not fair. I think he has suffered more than any character on this show and I don’t think it is controversial to say that because just considering the sheer amount of shit he has dealt with and seen is insane. I would say he is going to need therapy after this but apocalypse 😔
But also Daryl you dumb bitch lol ofc this was going to happen you should have never let a CHILD into a WARZONE you big himbo
I’d still give him a blowjob tho he’s gonna need one after this
Anyway
Also Pamela suck the fattest cock you are such an asshole I hate you and I can’t wait to watch you die I hope Daryl kills you too 😘
Ok that’s all I think?? Idk this episode was a whirlwind. I am scared for the next one (esp since Daryl is laying on the ground?!?! HELP)

Sonny never hated his job more than when he went undercover. He had hated when he was posing as a homeless man with an eye for children, but this was worse. So. Much. Worse.
His cover story for this job was that he was part of the Italian mob, and he had been hired on as security for a prostitution ring; some huge network that was international but had its roots right here in Manhattan. Him, along with multiple real mafia members, were in charge of transporting girls, drugs, and anything else the head honcho told them to.
It had been three months since he went under; his beard itched his face still, his leather jacket was starting to be uncomfortable, and he wanted nothing more than to take all of these bastards down. But they didn’t have enough yet. So, he had to stick it out a little longer—at least, that’s what he told himself. A little longer, a little longer. He wasn’t sure how much “little longer” he had left in him.
Sonny lived in the housing quarters his boss supplied him, along with three other mafia guys. He had almost zero contact with the world outside his job—all the information he gathered was sent in a coded text from a burner. But he was starting to miss his friends and family. At least his employer understood that as part of the Italian mob, Sonny was allowed to go to church on Sundays…if there wasn’t something big happening.
His saving grace came a month later, while standing guard at his boss’s door. A woman he’d seen before came stomping up to him, and he braced himself; he knew that look.
“Let me see my father,” you snarled.
Sonny rose his hands defensively. “I was given orders ta not let anyone in. That includes you,” he replied, crossing his arms once more and trying to puff out his chest. But you simply glared at him.
“Fuck you; let me in, before I force my way in,” you growled.
He chuckled, eyeing you. “Ya really think you can get passed me? Let’s see ya try, doll.”
You gave him another impressive glare before trying to lunge passed him, reaching for the handle. Sonny caught you easily around your midsection, lifting you and placing you down at arm’s length in front of him.
“That the best ya got?” he teased. This wasn’t the first time you tried to brute force your way passed him before, and he was sure it wouldn’t be the last. But you had a trick up your sleeve.
You let your bottom lip quiver, tears appearing in your eyes. “Pl-please, sir, let m-me see my—” you trailed off, sniffling loudly.
“Ah geez, don’t be doing that. Come on; he’s in a meeting and will be out soon. Just wait a lil, okay?” he said, a touch of pleading in his voice.
But you didn’t stop, letting the tears trail down your cheeks. You let out a loud sob, and Sonny wanted to rip his hair out; he didn’t need a tantrum with daddy’s spoiled brat right now. He internally winced at that; he didn’t really believe that that was what you were, but when you came up here, trying to cry your way in, his mind went there.
You let out another loud sob. “Please, doll, I promise ta let him know as soon as he’s free—” Sonny started, but he was cut off by the door behind him opening. He stood at attention—like a good little lapdog—and the man who was having a meeting with his employer came out. He took one look at you, then left, rolling his eyes. You quickly wiped your face with your shirt before your dad appeared.
“And what are you doing here?” your father asked, annoyance dripping from his voice.
Sonny felt bad for you, but said nothing, gave away no emotions on his face as you requested to speak with him, privately.
He nodded, and Sonny moved out of the way, letting you enter, the door closing softly behind you both. He released a breath; it was always high tension after a meeting. But Sonny also found himself feeling sorry for you, having a father like that. He was hoping that when the walls came down, you’d at least be spared; you had no real idea of your father’s business, how big and deep it ran.
The meeting between you and your father didn’t last long, and soon enough, the door was opening once more behind him.
“Sonny; drive my daughter home. Giuliano will cover you until you're back,” your father ordered.
Sonny nodded, letting you pass him before following you. He kept his emotions in check, but he saw the look on your face; sadness, betrayal, and fear. He vaguely wondered what you had talked about but didn’t want to pry; he could be fired or worse for it.
It wasn’t until halfway through the drive to your place that he asked if you were okay.
“Fantastic,” you muttered, staring out the window.
Sonny wasn’t sure why he couldn’t keep his damn mouth shut; the words just spilled out. “Ya father is a hard man. I’m sorry ya have ta deal with that.” It was a mistake, he knew; if you were indeed loyal to your father, then saying that out loud was a good way to end up dead.
You blinked in surprise at his bluntness, and for his apology. “Y—yeah, he is. I wouldn’t let him catch you saying that, though.”
He nodded. “Uh, how ‘bout makin’ it our little secret, then?” he asked, hoping beyond hope that you’d say nothing about this to him.
“Our little secret…. Yeah, okay,” you replied dryly, eyes going back to the window.
 *******************
After that conversation, Sonny’s boss would often send him to you, whether to drive you or as extra protection—more like babysitting, to Sonny. But he found that he couldn’t complain; it was the only time he could be close to his true self…plus it was safer and better than doing other, illicit things. Even if he should be doing those things for intel. And of course, he never slipped up like he had on that first car ride. No, he was Sonny from the Italian mob, not the soft-hearted detective. He held you at arm’s length, determined to not let the mask slip. But something about you got to him, and he found himself afraid of you. Afraid that he’d make a mistake, and that you would see right through him.
“Sonny, why do you do this job?” you asked one day while he was driving you home. It had been over a month since your father had basically assigned Sonny to you.
He tried to stay neutral, but you saw how he adjusted his grip on the steering wheel. “’Cause it’s a job. I was hired.”
“That’s a bullshit answer and you know it,” you replied, smiling.
His jaw tightened. “Nah, see, when my boss tells me ta do somethin’, I do it.”
“You’re not like the rest, though. The others, I see murder in their eyes. They have such dark thoughts; it’s almost like they’re hoping my father gives them a kill order,” you explained. True, your father told you that they were security guards for his business, but you never bought that story; they were more like murderers than security. The day when Sonny kept you out of your father’s office was the first time you noticed that he was different; his eyes were soft, and he talked to you like a person, rather than making vaguely concealed threats. He seemed to genuinely care when you started to fake cry, even though you knew that he knew it was fake.
His bright blue eyes met with yours in the rearview mirror for a brief moment before flicking back to the road. “We don’t kill—”
“Stop lying to me, Sonny. Please. I deserve to know what’s going on,” you said, a slight begging tone in your voice.
So that confirmed it; you had no idea what your father was capable of. Sonny swallowed, wanting this conversation to end. “Talk ta ya father, not me—”
“I’ve tried! Multiple times! I’m not an idiot; I know he’s shady as hell. But just what are you protecting?”
“If he’s not willin’ ta tell ya, then that should tell ya somethin’, right?” he asked. He pulled over in front of your art studio, putting the car in park and getting out. You thought about his words; it was more than you got from anyone else. To be honest, Sonny always gave you more than anyone else; he didn’t sneer at you, ignore you, call you names like “brat”. And he definitely didn’t look at you with hungry eyes or creepy smiles. He seemed like…like a generally good person, all things considered. You weren’t sure when it had happened, but you noticed you had developed a crush on him.
All too soon, Sonny was opening the door for you to get out. You thanked him as you exited the car, and felt his presence behind you as you climbed the stairs to the door. He always walked you there, to make sure you were safe.
You unlocked and opened the door, then turned around to face him. He gave you a nod and you thanked him again. But something possessed you in that moment; why else would you have grabbed his shirt and pulled him to you in a kiss?
Sonny froze in place, eyes wide, before he placed his hands on your shoulders and pushed you back. You looked up at him, the apology dying on your tongue; you weren’t sorry at all. That kiss was worth it in your eyes. But there was an almost…pained? look in Sonny’s eyes.
“D-doll, we can’t—ya father—”
“Never has to know,” you finished for him.
He blinked, obviously warring with himself, and you were sure you knew why; if your father found out about you two, he could have Sonny killed. But, if Sonny felt the same way about you that you did about him, then maybe, just maybe, he could help you escape from under your father. Something about him was safe, trustworthy.
Slowly, you reached up to cup his face. When he didn’t pull away, you gently leaned in again, kissing him slowly, tenderly. He paused for only a moment before he melted against your lips. Then he gently pulled away from you.
“I—I gotta—” He didn’t finish his thought before he turned and hurried down the stairs. You watched him go, hoping that he’d say nothing to your father.
The car door slammed shut and Sonny was quick to turn the car on and leave. What the fuck was he doing, letting you kiss him? And then he kissed you back?! He must be a fucking idiot! Sure, he liked you—more than he was willing to admit—but this could blow his cover. Not to mention get him killed, cover blown or not. Plus, he was lying to you; any feelings you felt weren’t for him but for the façade he put on.
He resolved to keep his distance from you; nothing good could come from any of this. It ended in one of two ways: you, heartbroken over Sonny’s lies, or him buried six feet under in some lot. There was no way to disobey your father if he ordered him to take you home, so there was no avoiding you. Sonny would just have to lay down the rules next time he saw you; absolutely no relationship could exist, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

✨Bad Batch E10 Spoilers✨
Episode 10 thoughts:
- OK CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW WHEN OMEGA JUMPED OFF OF WRECKER'S SHOULDER, TECH, MY DARLING, HELD OUT HIS ARMS TO CATCH OMEGA IN CASE SHE STUMBLED OR SOMETHING!?!? I JUST- AGH S O F T
- Echo...bestie...why did you have to smell the space popcorn like that?
- I completely understand Hunter's concerns but the way he reacted to Wrecker saying that she seemed fine got me thinking. I feel like that the moment after hearing what Wrecker said and pushing past everyone to walk into the building gives us a bit of insight into Hunter's deeper emotional state. What I took from it was that because Hunter is not only a soldier, but also the leader, openly conveying deep forms of emotion isn't exactly something he's used to. Aside from his obvious worries regarding Omega's physical safety, I think when he said that Omega needed a break, he was trying to mask the fact that HE needed a break as well. After the showdown with Cad Bane and losing Omega, Hunter went from already level 10 dad to like level 1000 dad. The fear, panic, and shame that he felt during the time it took for them to find Omega must have been at such a jarring form of emotional intensity that he hasn't felt before and it’s clearly still bothering him a lot. Sure the team has been in stressful situations, but this is a completely different terrain. The point I'm getting at here is when we see Hunter push past everyone and go in alone before the rest of the squad, I think it pretty clearly shows that he's having a hard time processing everything that just happened and is doing everything he can to keep from feeling the way he did when Omega got separated from them as well as not wanting Omega to be that distraught again. (EEK sorry that was a lot, but what can I say? I love a good reading-between-the-lines type character analysis)
ANYWAY...
- Cid gives off great aunt energy. Not quite grandma. Not quite aunt. Great aunt. I have spoken.
- Speaking of Cid, as much as I genuinely enjoy her abrasive character, CAN EVERYONE STOP CUTTING OFF SIR GOGGLES McNERD-FACE PLEASE?! I just want to hear him talk is that too much to ask for 🥺👉👈
- BANDANA. DARK AND BROODY.
- omg hunter please just hug the child my god it's not that hard you both need a hug just do it please-
- Y'ALL ECHO'S UPSET FOR A REASON. You all saw what happened to him. Don't get me wrong, I love a good Echo and Tech sassy conversation moment, but maybe don't dismiss him so much? Can we try that pls? Thank you, loves.
- "Now are you convinced?" "Noooo" Agh someone please give Echo a hug, a nap, and some therapy please I beg of you.
- Raxus is pretty. Lovely forest. Nice architecture.
- There's something strangely calming about that droid's voice idk what it is.
- OoOoOoOo Cid got shamed for making Omega upset.
- Awwwww Dad misses his kid
- Good battle scene using only stun blasts (is that what they’re called? idk you know what I mean).
- Quick question: I will never doubt Tech's skills, but like how could he possibly fix the AT-TE using just his data pad without actually touching the walker? I think I'm reading too much into it, but I'm genuinely curious.
- PRO GAMER OMEGA
- Cid: "Try showing a little gratitude to my friend" awww even grouchy lizard great aunt likes Omega 😊
- I love the little moment at the end with Hunter and Omega playing dejarik, but lol wouldn't it be funny if the thing that finally makes Tech snap and lose his cool is Omega beating him in a strategy game.
FINAL THOUGHTS (and I'm so sorry that this was sooo long oops)
- Everyone needs a hug.
- Please let them process and TALK about their emotions. Please.
- Obvious question: Can we save Cross now? THAT MAN is most in need of a hug. Look I know he can be a bit of a bitch sometimes, but Dave...I swear to Obi-Wan "Space Jesus" Kenobi if you don't stop hurting him I will PERSONALLY set your cowboy hat on fire. 🤠🔥
That is all. It is past 4am. I can literally hear the birds tweeting outside. I need to go to sleep. Thank you for listening to my nerd rambling.

me, nodding of to sleep: IM HERE IM HERE
did my head just loll to the side? you will never know. first of all this chapter was the most beautiful thing i have ever read. Mavid have my HEART. It's also 4 16 am so im sorry if the reactions are a little bland but this was PERFECT.
me, throughout the whole thing: mavid mavid mavid
They had kissed for the first time almost a week ago. And they had kissed again. A couple of times.
Okay fine, they had kissed a lot since then.
Not a lot a lot. But a lot.
Wait a minute. How much kissing was a lot of kissing?
this is adorable
“I heard he cried when he found out Lexi and Liv were dating,” David chuckled.
yup that's jace
“We have to pay to talk on the phone?” Max asked incredulously. “I thought it was free.”
“Of course it isn’t free, Max!” David chuckled. “We have to pay for WiFi too.”
“This is ridiculous!” Max said. “Next you will say we have to pay for electricity.”
“Um, we do have to pay for electricity,” David chuckled again.
we pay for water too
but max you didnt know-
“Don’t let them guilt trip you!” Max had chastised. “They like doing chores. Let them do it. They fight demons all day and then come home and do chores. I feel like it’s their form of therapy. They need this.”
cant relate nope
“I don’t know,” Max groaned. “My family is so dramatic.”
the lightwood-banes in one sentence
THERE ARE SO MANY FEELS MY HEART CANNOT CONTAIN
“Well, too late!” Max announced. “This date is going to be the best first date in the history of first of dates.”
In retrospect, he really shouldn’t have said that.
nah its gonna be great
“Perhaps you should just take him to the New York Library. They have, uh, books.”
yes that is what they keep in libraries
OH MY GOD THE FRIEND IS ELYASS
HERE'S MY FAVORITE DEMON Y'ALL
His parents would not be pleased if they knew Max was summoning demons for relationship advice.
But they had also encouraged Max to make friends with everyone regardless of their identity. So, technically this was their fault. They gave him very mixed messages.
well-
you know i really shouldnt have laughed at the demon attack news but for some reason i did
i blame my sleep deprivation
shit i feel sick
you know maybe i shouldve just waited till the morning...
ok but the demon attack is NOT coincidental
there is something going on
“I thought dragon demons were extinct!” Max yelled over the commotion.
well-
ANJALI
“Man, fuck the orders!” Max said in frustration.
if you get hurt ill kill you
oh it's not her
well fuck
“That was an Armani, you piece of shit!” Rafael yelled at the demon. Max almost laughed.
THE AUDACITY
It really did. Dragon demons smelled like they lived inside a boys locker room.
well that's nice to know
FUCK THEY ARE TALKING NOW???
ok what is going on
“Say the thing!!!”
“I’m not saying the damn thing, you maniac!”
“Say the thing!”
Rafael groaned and raised his hands, the alliance rune lighting up.
“I’m not just a shadowhunter,” Rafael said through gritted teeth. “I’m Magnus Bane’s son.”
LMAO THEM
“Well, demons are stupid,” Max pointed out.
“Yeah, that makes sense,” Rafael said with a mouthful of food. “You are half demon after all.”
Im so sleepy i cant even react to this
but THEM I CANT-
WHERE.IS.ALEC
Max wanted to laugh. Only David would worry about another person while being injured in the infirmary.
MUST BE PROTECTED
Max nodded; his throat still dry. He couldn’t stop staring at David. At the wound. At the blood.
Also, maybe the naked chest.
AHEM
OH MY GOD JAIME IS ALIVE
we're getting lightwood-bane fluff LET ME CRY
alec...
on one hand alec smoking is fucking hot BUT WITH THE MUNDANE DISEASES OH HELL NAH
“But it tastes so good when it’s from your plate!” Max said with a mouth full of food.
“Oh, you want my food? Here!” Rafael grinned and threw a piece of chicken at his face.
Max caught it with his mouth cause wasting food was a crime. “Thanks, bro!”
“You little s-”
HE CAUGHT IT IN HIS MOUTH
“And no fighting over chicken!” Bapak pointed out. “We can always summon some more.”
“Order,” dad corrected. “We don’t summon. We order. And then we pay.”
“How do we destroy capitalism if we have to pay for everything?” Max asked.
Max has a point y'know
“That’s rich coming from someone who is wearing an Armani jacket,” Max stuck out his tongue.
“It was a gift!” Rafael said, furiously chewing on his chicken.
“Does that mean Bapak is a capitalist?” Max asked.
LMAO
Max: What even-
Max: Can shadowhunters get high on iratzes lol
CAN THEY???
David: Mr Herondale yelled “Yes! Two out of three!”
MOOD
PLEASE RAFAEL AND MAGNUS ARE LIKE "About time"
SAME THOUGH
“David is what you get if Dad and Uncle Jace and Uncle Jem had a baby.”
STOP NO
“Oh,” Max said. “Uh, David and I…We are dating.”
Dad choked on his coffee. “Excuse me?”
Bapak chuckled next to him. “Of course you didn’t know.”
“You two are dating?” dad demanded. “Since when? Who else knows about this? Why didn’t you tell us before? Were you dating when you were in London? Magnus, did you know about this?”
“There you go!” Max yelled triumphantly. “That’s the dramatic reaction I was looking for. Thanks, dad!”
There's alec. Yup
OH MY GOD NOT THE SEX TALK
good thing i had wattpad I MEAN-
“Kissing?” dad gaped. “On the mouth???”
“Um, where else would we kiss?” Max asked incredulously.
“Well, actually,” Bapa cleared his throat. “There are many ways you can enjoy-”
IM CACKLING
And that’s how the next hour turned out to be the most painful and most embarrassing hour of his life.
Max decided he would rather get attacked by a hoard of dragon demons than sit through it any longer
“You guys know we have something called the internet, right?” Max demanded.
“Well, the internet can have mixed messages,” Bapak sniffed. “We on the other hand have real life experien-”
“Magnus!” dad looked red in the face.
“Fine,” Bapak sighed. “Now moving on to the importance of lubrication and-”
“I’m begging you to stop,” Max groaned.
THE NOISES WHICH LEFT MY MOUTH ARE NOT OK TO BE MAKING AT 3 30 AM
“I’ll have you know this conversation utterly traumatized me. I demand financial compensation.”
HE'S SO DRAMATIC
“Well,” dad said carefully. “David is…”
“French?” Max asked.
i blame my sleep deprived ass for laughing at this
next thing i know someone's being tortured and im laughing because i dont have sleep in my system
Max honey...
listen to him
i for one, dont want a repeat of pg 511 cols
oh he's finding out about the incident
that's what i call it
Max thought of all the stories he had heard then. The one of the warlock who killed people who he could bring back his dead girlfriend. The one about a nephilim mother who paired up with prince of hell to bring back her dead son.
oh yeah...
shudder
They called it The Jem effect.
AYYYYY
It was true. In fact, he used to have a crush on both Tessa and Jem. It’s how he had found he was bisexual.
very very valid. have a good day sir
AWW MAX DIDNT KNOW HE COULD BLUSH
you know it's a sign ive been watching b99 too much that i was imagining mina talking like gina...
pls send help
ALSO MINA BESTEST SDCHJDFVYDYUGFYUGFVDYVFD
“Can we not talk about my boyfriend’s sperm, please?”
im surprised my parents havent woken up by the sound i let out
BUT HEY THE DOOR'S CLOSED SO
SUGGENS MINA
“I’m hearing an inflated sense of self-importance,” he heard Ragnor call from the bathroom. “Is Magnus here?”
“Just the spawn,” Max called back.
THE SPAWN BYE-
“He is married to the Consul!” Tessa chuckled. “And one of his sons is a shadowhunter.”
“It’s still very bad for our reputation,” Ragnor grumbled. “He is too close with shadowhunters.”
“You are the headmaster of Scholomance!” Catarina said incredulously. “You teach nephilim! Even though you don’t need a job!”
“I was coerced!” Ragnor huffed. “Manipulated by the children of the angel.”
really ragnor?
The grin disappeared and Ragnor buried his face on Catarina’s shoulder. “I can’t go through this again, Cat! Not again!”
“So much for not taking up after his father, huh?” Catarina chuckled and looked at him. “That’s nice, Max. We are happy for you.”
“We are not!” Ragnor said in a muffled voice.
RAGNOR DJHDCUHUKIHDVVFDDB
OOOO MAX DIDNT KNOW ABOUT CAMILLE
a kind of endless love...
dont make me cry
“I know you are worried, love,” Tessa’s voice was a whisper. “You are worried about surviving after David. You are worried about your own heart. But you should never let that fear stop you from finding love. Because love is what sustains us immortals. It keeps us alive. When you love a mortal, you love them forever. You might not remember all the memories. The colour of their eyes or the sound of their voice. But you will remember the love. You will carry that love inside you forever. It does not make you weak or fragile. It makes you stronger. And you will forever be grateful for it.”
my eyeballs are too tired to cry
stop it
THEY SAID I LOVE YOU
I FEEL LIKE A PROUD MOM
bitch you hate children wtf-
Max laughed. “I’m going to kill dad for making us do this. God, this is so weird!”
better get it done now
HE'S DAVID'S FOREVER
dont do this to me at 4 am
“You should two should some spend time together. Get to know each other and all of that,” Max suggested with a smile. “Maybe you can bond over archery or something.”
“I’m pretty sure he would use me for target practice,” David mumbled.
“Don’t be ridiculous, David!” Max said incredulously. “My father doesn’t need target practice!”
At this point, a David and alec scene isn't a want its a NEED
“I got it all planned,” Max said – for someone who had no idea what he was going to do.
me throughout life
max Rafael isn't the one smoking-
OH MY GOD MY DAD JUST CAME TO CHECK ON ME THE WAY I SLAMMED MY LAPTOP
“Also tell him to stop smoking!” Max pointed out seriously. “It’s not good for his health! Especially with all the mundane illnesses going on.”
“I know, Max,” dad sighed heavily and blinked. “I mean, I’ll talk to him. For sure.”
Alec if anything happens to you...just know ill raise hell
“I don’t want easy,” David smiled. “I want you.”
IT'S 4 AM DUDE
AYYY THE SHANGHAI SHADOW MARKET
CELESTIAL PALACE
“Dad? The Consul? That dad?” David looked surprised and relieved all at once. “Oh my god, he doesn’t hate me!”
“Of course he doesn’t hate you!” Max chuckled. “But he did say he will put your nerd ass in the silent city if you don’t bring me home by 11.”
of course, he did
oh my god SLEEP. there is so much to do tomorrow dying...my grammar was really bad and I don't have what it takes to use Grammarly's corrections except for the ones it's already doing as type.

16. “I could just pull your bikini bottoms to the side, no one would even notice.” With rio pls? Could be a family vacay at the beach and they’re just lounging in the sand having a good time while the rest of the fam is a little away (for some ~privacy~)
warning: steamy
*gif not mine*
Tumblr media
You watched as Marcus and his friends played in the water. It had been an especially hot day, so when Rio got home and asked if you all wanted to go to the beach, of course you said yes. You called a couple of other Moms and asked if they wanted to come too, and half the neighborhood ended up showing up.
You were lounging on a towel with Rio, your shades on as you watched the kids play. “This was a really good idea,” you said, turning to look at him. But Rio was already staring at you. You laughed, caught off guard. “What?”
He licked his lips, and when he spoke, his voice was low and deep and just for you to hear. “You know what,” he answered, “You look so damn good right now, mama, I just wanna eat you up.”
You giggled, feeling a heat in your cheeks and between your legs. “This is a new bikini,” you said back, watching as his eyes glossed over your body.
He bit his lip, slowly bringing his dark eyes to your face. “I know,” he said back, “As soon as you came out with that on, all I wanted to do was take it off…” He reached over and ran two fingers down your side, stopping and playing with the bow on the side of your bikini briefs. “…It’d be so easy,” he went on, “takin’ this tiny little thing off…”
“Rio…” You said, your breath coming out in little bursts.
“Can’t believe you even left the house with this,” he leaned in a little closer to you, “it’s like you’re begging me to just fuck you. Is that what you want?”
You swallowed. Was that what you wanted? Was Rio a fucking beast in the sack? Did his neck tattoo make you wet? Was the sky blue? Of course you wanted him to fuck you! You glanced around; the kids were still playing, splashing and laughing, and there were enough adults around that they were being well monitored. The neighbors were either watching the kids or swimming themselves. No one was paying you and Rio any attention… “We… We can’t,” you answered in a whisper.
“Mm,” Rio’s fingers brushed against the skin on your thigh, and you sighed softly, “that’s not what I asked. I asked if you wanted me to fuck you.” He leaned forward and pressed a kiss to your shoulder, not pulling back as he spoke, his lips brushing against your exposed skin. “You want me to fuck you, baby? You want me to make you cum? You want me inside you right now?”
You closed your eyes, his words working towards making you wetter than the damn ocean in front of you. “Yes,” you answered, “I want it so bad…”
“Yeah?” Rio asked, kissing his way up to your neck. He chuckled. “Me too.” He was kissing your ear now, and you shuddered against him.
“Where can we go?” You asked, breathless already.
“Oh, we don’t gotta go nowhere,” he answered, pulling back, “I could just pull your bikini bottoms to the side, no one would even notice.” 
You felt a little thrill go through you. Doing it with Rio was enough of a rush in of itself, but in public? “Really?” You asked, eyes wide.
He nodded, laughing at the excited look in your eyes. “Mm hmm,” he answered, gently pushing you down onto your side. You held your breath as you felt his strong arms wrap around you from behind. You could feel how hard he was already. “Just don’t make any noise.”
You nodded, biting your lip. As an extra precaution, you grabbed another towel and slung it over your waists, covering you both. You hummed when Rio stuck his hand inside your bottoms, shimmying a little as those long fingers of his brushed against you, teasing you. You heard his chuckle behind you, and he ducked down and started kissing your neck as he fingered you. You were already wet from his words and the audacity of your actions, but he made you even wetter as he rubbed your insides. You squirmed, and his grip on your waist tightened.
“Behave yourself.”
You closed your eyes, biting your lip harder as you felt that familiar feeling of an impending orgasm build within you. Rio was a master at pleasuring you, and you knew that he knew you were close to cumming—which is why you straight up gasped when he pulled his fingers out. “Rio!”
“Shh,” he kissed your neck, “you gotta be quiet, mama…” You felt his hand on your bikini bottoms, pulling them to the side just as he promised, and you closed your eyes again. Rio was shuffling behind you, and you sighed when you felt him—hard and ready—behind you. “Good girl,” he praised you, kissing your neck as he spoke, “You gonna keep yourself quiet for me, mama?”
You nodded. “Yes,” you answered, “I promise.”
“I love you.”
“Love you, Rio…”
And then he was inside of you. It was hard to contain yourself at the delicious, sinful, absolutely incredible feel of the stretch of him, but you did. Rio groaned lowly when he was fully inside of you, and you couldn’t help but let out a little giggle. You opened your eyes and took a quick look around—no one, as far as you could tell, knew what mischief the two of you were up to. Rio gave you a second to adjust to him, just sitting there on the beach under a towel connected like that, before he started to move. He moved slowly, for both of your benefits, one hand on your waist and the other down the front of your bikini bottoms, fingering you languidly as he fucked you. Every thrust of his hips made you want to cry, he felt amazing, as always. You closed your eyes and listened to the sound of the oceans and his soft, deep grunts behind you, a perfect melody.
“Rio,” you whispered, both for the sake of secrecy and because you were too turned on to speak normally, “I’m so close… Are you gonna let me cum?”
“I don’t know,” he chuckled, “should I?” He humped into you, and you had to cover your mouth with your hand to keep the scream in. “You know what you did comin’ out here wearing this shit,” he went on, fucking you slow and deep, “You think you deserve an orgasm?”
You knew what he needed to hear. “Baby, please,” you whispered, one of your hands dropping to rest over your neck, and the other to grab his wrist as he playfully flicked your throbbing clit, “please. I’m so close, baby… Feels so good… Love you so, so much, Rio…”
He groaned, dropping his head against your shoulder. He pushed into you, and you covered your mouth again as you came, your body shuddering as you orgasmed. Rio came with you, spilling into you as he bit down into your shoulder, groaning as he came.
You whimpered when he pulled out, feeling empty and satisfied, and Rio turned you around, pulling you towards him and kissing you, his tongue sliding into your mouth shamelessly. “Fuck,” he laughed, pulling back, “you’re just too good, mama.”
“You came so much,” you said, smiling as you leaned in to kiss him again, your thighs closing greedily, wanting to hold onto his seed, “I’m gonna have to wash up in the water.”
“Hell nah…” he sat up, checking on Marcus before grinning down at you. “…keep my cum in you till we get home…
…be a good girl.”

Brothers’s Reaction to Fem!Reader who is scared, timid, insecure, and suffers from social anxiety.
Tumblr ate this ask, I just say it yesterday and now it isn’t there. So I’m sorry to the anon that you ask was eaten, but here it is! I’m glad I wrote it down! I hope you enjoy much love!
1.     Can you do all demon brothers x fem shy reader who is scared, timid, insecure, suffers from social anxiety but kind, quite, gentle and behaves like snow white from the disney movie. Pls.
Lucifer:
Doesn’t treat you any differently because you are scared. He thinks it’s amusing a human stuck in Devildom and is scared. He was, well devilish, about it for a bit. It wasn’t until he realized though you were scared and definitely scared of him you trusted him blindly.
“Are all humans as stupid as you or are you special?” He asks finally and when you cowered away from him and apologized for not understanding he sighed but continued, “You are in a foreign place, you are scared, yet you still trust us so blindly,”
“Oh… that’s just me,” you whispered quietly, eyes glued to the ground.
“I wonder why,” Lucifer’s voice was much closer than it was before, and he lifted his hand to tilt your head towards him.
Lucifer warms up more and is a little gentler in public and a lot softer in private. He offers you his study or his room whenever you need to escape and hide.
“I would never let anyone hurt you, even in the beginning,” Lucifer tells you quietly one night.
“I know, I trust you,” you flashed him a rare dazzling smile, that makes Lucifer’s pride soar.
Mammon:
He harped over being assigned your “caretaker”, but once he saw how timid and scared you were had softened him. He completely broke when you stuttered out countless amount of apologizes and you hope you don’t bother him or cause too much trouble; his attitude completely changed. He took you under his wing and showed you everything, loved to stick by your side for multiple reasons. It surprised his brothers, though Lucifer seemed happy and satisfied that Mammon was stepping up to the challenge. There are times Mammon reacts or snaps that has you back to being as timid as you first were and it breaks him everything.
“She is so timid, Asmodeus!”
“What are we going to do? I hurt her today, I’m such a dumbass Asmodeus”
“I could have told you that,”
“SHUT UP!”
Leviathan:
Levi is drawn to you immediately, but keeps up the normie facade and acts like he doesn’t like you, But if you ever apologized or asked him if he really hated you, he immediately break and drop the act. Tells you his door is always open if you are scared or want to away from people, he totally understands.
You go out a lot together and it leads to teasing that neither of you can defend or deflect because you both end up red face and stuttering mess. But it doesn’t ruin or put any tension on your friendship, you are more or less glued to the hip if you have to go out, Levi also goes to Lucifer and Diavolo to see if you can do some school days at home with him, to help with your social anxiety.
 Satan:
You get close without words, Satan doesn’t always like to read in his room, preferring to go in the library and the library is a quiet place you tend to go when you need a cool down. At first you sat at other sides of the room and didn’t look at each other. Then you would still glance at each other and slowly Satan Moved closer and closer to where you sat. When you came in and say him sitting in the sit across from you, you had no idea what to do, but Satan would welcome you over. For some reason you timid and shy nature along with your willingness to trust Satan, really helped him when he needed a cool down. He knew he could and find you and sit in silence and your presence would just cam him down. It was because of it’s just how calming you are and how Satan doesn’t ever want to scare you on purpose.
Asmodeus:
Finds you adorable and probably accidentally scare you with his excitement. Tries to pull you our of your shell but either he realizes, or someone tells him (probably Satan) that won’t happen, and he needs to be patient and you’ll slowly come out when your ready.
Asmodeus enjoys your blind trust, it makes shopping for you and with you more fun a simple, “you trust me, right?” and Asmodeus could buy you clothes, no matter how much you said no, that you wouldn’t choose for yourself but always ended up looking good. He only took you opinions sometimes about no flashy or things that will draw too much attention to you, “Well Darling, I am sorry, you are always drawing attention. You are cute and beautiful,” and presses a kiss to your cheek Also tries to help with your social anxiety but he only really knows exposure therapy, so if you ever go out for food with him make sure to bring Beelz, Satan, or Levi along so they can order for you.
Beelzebub:
Beelzebub is your protector. He makes sure you always feel safe and comfortable and is willing to step in and deal with anyone or anything that dares to make you feel unsafe. If need be he takes you to the gym with him and shows you self-defense, even if he knows you are too scared to ever use them, he tells you he likes knowing that you know how to do it.
Volunteers to be your teddy bear when you needed it and will ALWAYS order your food for you and add more items, he knows you enjoy if it was someone else was paying and you were trying to be polite. Constantly reassures you that you are doing great and if you seem to be panicking, he offers his food, “It always make me feel better,”
Belphegor:
Was surprised to see you so trusting of him, even though you were so timid and insecure about you power. It almost made him hesitate if he should kill you when he escapes, ALMOST.
After the time traveling incident and him killing a version of you, he got in a lot of trouble. Lucifer and Diavolo he could take and even Mammon who was pissed the fuck off and Levi, Satan, Asmodeus. What he couldn’t handle was how even Beelzebub was pissed at him. Belphie didn’t beg for forgiveness, but he slowly started to feel horrible. If you were really a human, a timid, scared of your own shadow, and couldn’t seem to carry a conversation without apologizing; then not all humans are like the one that got Lilith killed.
He worked hard to gain trust back with you, he would cringe whenever he saw you flinch or cower away from him. It surprised him the day he woke up to you putting a blanket on him before curling up with him, he had a smile on his face for the rest of the day.

A non-exhaustive list of reasons why Baz needs therapy
those are only the examples I could think of when I wrote this, there are probably other things
That boy is suicidal or “I don’t have a death wish” my ass or RAINBOW PLS ADDRESS THIS 
“Stake through the heart?” he asked, falling back into the corner and resting an arm on a pile of skulls. “Beheading, perhaps? That only works if you keep my head separate from my body, and even then I could still walk; my body won’t stop until it finds my head.… Better go with fire, Snow, it’s the only solution.” (Carry On, Chapter 17) Baz… Baby… You know too much about how to kill a vampire. Also, talking about the boy he loves killing him, and genuinely believing that the boy he loves would kill him… not cool
“She would have killed me.
She would have faced me, what I am, and done what was right.” 
and “He will … Finish me.
Snow will do the right thing.” (Carry On, Chapter 40) He thinks of him dying as something that’s “right” TWICE, and also the whole being killed by loved ones thing… Baz you need a hug
[about the fire] “This is what I deserve” (Carry On, Chapter 60) NO IT’S NOT 
“I could hear him singing, even after I’d been walking for ten minutes. “Ashes, ashes—we all fall down.” (Carry On, Chapter 17) This one doesn’t really count, it just hurts my feelings that the part of the song Baz is singing that is highlighted is the one about ASHES. 
So in conclusion, after his LITERAL SUICIDE ATTEMPT it’s never addressed again that he has some serious suicidal tendencies. He says he doesn’t have a death wish and that’s all, it’s completely overlooked after that when CLEARLY, he HAS a death wish.
Fucked up things that seem to have impacted him the most or you think that Fiona is a better parental figure for Baz than Malcom but she isn’t really, Baz is just biased
“I know fuck-all about vampires. It’s not like I got an instruction pamphlet when I was bitten.” (Carry On, Chapter 30) A BIG part of who he is is completely unknown to him. As seen before, what he knows best about vampires is how to kill them. On top of that, even the things he thinks are true about vampires aren’t necessarily (Lamb can bite a human without killing or turning them) and he gets mixed signals (Nicodemus seems to age normally while Lamb is something like hundreds of years old and he still looks like he’s in his thirties)
“I don’t think my father ever would have mentioned it, even if he’d caught me draining the maid [...] Though he’d much prefer to catch me disrobing the maid.… (Definitely more disappointed in my queerness than my undeadness.)” (Carry On, Chapter 40) Malcolm’s complete lack of acknowledgement of Baz’s vampirism + Baz thinking that his sexuality is even a bigger deal to his father than his vampirism. He has those two things that are both parts of his identity that he didn’t choose and that are both considered to be something bad by his father, that CAN’T be easy and it definitely caused him a lot of shame and self-hatred. We have the point of view of 18-year-old Baz, I’m not sure he would be nearly as okay with his sexuality as he is if we were in the head of the Baz who just came out/thinks of coming out to his father
“My father never acknowledges that I’m a vampire—besides my flammability—and I know he’ll never send me away because of it.
But my mother?
She would have killed me.
She would have faced me, what I am, and done what was right.” (Carry On, Chapter 40) Once again, Malcolm’s complete lack of acknowledgement of Baz’s vampirism + the fact that Baz thinks his mother would have KILLED HIM if she knew he was a vampire. 
“He swings his wand and practically howls, spraying fire all around us. “This is what my mother would want for me, you idiot. [...] “My mother died killing vampires,” he says. “And when they bit her, she killed herself. It’s the last thing she did. If she knew what I am … She would never have let me live.” (Carry On, Chapter 60) Natasha wanting him dead because of his vampirism is something that’s mentioned again after chapter 40, here in chapter 60, which shows that 1) the opinion his mother would have of him really matters to him 2) he believes this opinion would have been VERY negative 3) he doesn’t even CONSIDER the option that his mother might have loved him enough to accept that he had been turned
“My father still isn’t ready to admit I have a boyfriend, and it would be too exhausting, living in a place where I have to pretend I’m not a vampire or hopelessly queer.” (Carry On, Epilogue) Malcolm please stop ignoring most of who your son is I’m begging you
I also wanted to say a few words about Fiona because I feel like in general we (as in, the fandom) really see Malcolm’s bad behavior towards Baz but not Fiona’s, while she’s also far from perfect. She saved him from the Numpties, that’s a good thing, that’s what we see, but look : “She berated me all the way home, and all the way back to Watford. She made me sit in the back seat of her MG. (A ’67. Glorious.) “The front seat is for people who’ve never been kidnapped by bloody numpties. Jesus Christ, Baz.” 
The front seat thing is a joke now but when you really think about it and when you focus on that whole paragraph and not just Fiona’s words, this is the situation that is presented : Baz just spent 6 WEEKS locked in a coffin, starved, not knowing what would happen to him, and instead of, I don’t know, TRYING TO COMFORT HIM, his aunt “berates” him, as if he was the one to blame in this situation. Jesus Christ, Fiona, give the boy a hug and ask him if he’s okay instead. 
And then there’s this : “Then the Coven made her a vampire hunter” (Carry On, Epilogue) That part would have fit better in the 3rd category but since I’m talking about Fiona let’s put it here. SHE LITERALLY KILLS VAMPIRES AS A JOB. I love Fiona but it makes me so angry whenever I think about it. I don’t know, I feel like a NORMAL PERSON wouldn’t become a VAMPIRE HUNTER when their nephew IS A VAMPIRE. That must fuck Baz up so bad that she does that, even if he doesn’t even realize it himself, and I hate that the impact of Fiona killing vampires for a living on Baz isn’t tackled at all.
So in conclusion, Baz thinks that is father is disappointed in him for existing, basically, he thinks that his mother would have wanted him dead AND KILLED HIM for what he is, and then there’s Fiona
Other fucked up things that are just barely mentioned or RAINBOW PLS ADDRESS THIS part 2
“He slipped a flask out of his jacket and took a swig. I didn’t know that he’d been drinking” (Carry On, Chapter 17) Baz was drinking. Was it a one time thing? Did Simon somehow catch him the ONE time he got drunk in the Catacombs? If it was not the first time he went there and got drunk, did he have a problem with alcohol in fifth year? I NEED ANSWERS 
“Of course I’ve read Anne Rice. I was a 15-year-old closet case whose parents pretended they didn’t notice when the family dog disappeared” (Wayward Son, Chapter 22) Once again, his family doing a poor job when it comes to handling his vampirism but we've been over this. INSTEAD CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE FED ON HIS DOG, AN ANIMAL THAT HE VERY PROBABLY LOVED, BUT THE BLOODTHIRST WAS JUST TOO STRONG TO RESIST???????? It must have been so difficult and traumatizing for him, and it’s just dropped like that in the story like it’s nothing while I’m over here crying about it

TUMBLR FUCKED UP SOME OF MY ASK POSTS I AM SO SORRY ANYWAY 
@buckleydiazs​ asked:
talk to me about eddie and chris asking buck to move in, pls and thank u 🥰
Their first unplanned night together starts off with a text message.
Ironically enough, it’s not even a message between Eddie and Buck—it’s between Buck and Maddie. Eddie is all smiles as he pulls his truck onto the highway, Buck in the passenger seat, laughing easily at some story Eddie was telling. It was nice. It was easy, easier than most of the relationships Eddie had ever had before, but that wasn’t surprising—at least, not anymore, not with Buck.
Once Buck had gotten the stick out of his ass, Eddie realized how easily the two of them would get along almost immediately. Buck was... well, he was a far better person than Eddie was, and Eddie would be the first to admit that, but Buck seemed to be oblivious to the fact that he could basically out shine the sun with one of his big toothy smiles.
Their relationship was unique, certainly; they had survived things that went beyond the real of “regular people”; tsunamis, earthquakes, bombs, and most stressful of all (weirdly enough), a lawsuit. somehow, the lawsuit was the straw that broke the back on their friendship—Eddie had finally pulled his head out of his ass, realized how miserable his life had been without Bucky, and asked him out on a proper date a week after Buck's first call back on the team.
Though they spent a lot of time together as friends, and that had only grown after their first official ‘date’, they had been carpooling out of necessity for the week—Bobby had been good enough to match their schedules up while Buck’s Jeep was in the shop—and Eddie insisted that it wasn’t too much of a detour to shuttle Buck back and forth to work.
The mood in the truck was easy and light, and Buck was still laughing when he pulled his phone from his pocket, tapping at the screen a few times—and like someone had switched on a vacuum, the good mood was sucked through the window in less than a second.
“It’s Maddie. She says Taylor Kelly is at my apartment complex. Apparently there was a pretty big drug bust in the building across the way, she has her van camped out in our lot.”
And, well, Eddie wasn’t about to tolerate that, wasn’t about to tolerate anything that made Buck unhappy, anything that could suck the joy out of him in an instant, for reasons that he chose not to dive too deep into. He focused instead on the problem (and yeah, Taylor Kelly was a problem with a capital B), and what he figured was the easiest solution.
“Oh. Well, then you’re staying at our place tonight.”
As expected, Buck started up a whole litany of protests. It was a little sad, Eddie thought, how eager Buck was to talk himself out of a good time, and if he didn’t have the backup of a year of knowing Buck as well as he did, Eddie might have actually taken his ramblings at face value.
As it was, though, he had an ace in the hole. A surefire way to get Buck to shut up and accept some good in his life. He didn’t like to play it, but he knew that he had to as soon as Buck mentioned “I’ll just stay at the firehouse tonight, it’s really no issue, I’ll order take out, and—”
“Buck, it’s fine. Chris has been begging me to invite 'his Buck’ over for dinner for a week now anyway.”
“...oh. Okay.”
Was it wrong for Eddie to use his son so easily, knowing that Buck was as wrapped around Chris’ finger to the degree that nearly rivaled himself? Probably. Could Eddie bring himself to care? Nope.
Especially not when Chris basically launched himself into Bucks arms, completely overjoyed that Buck was here for a “surprise sleepover”. 
Dinner had gone off without a hitch, with Chris easily dominating most of the conversation, rattling off facts, figures, stories from school, information about his friends, and Buck had eaten it up. 
Eddie had found himself staring at Buck—more than once—with a little bit of a dopey look on his face, he was sure, as Buck got more and more animated, making Christopher laugh, telling stories of his own, and he hadn’t even bothered to look away when Buck caught him staring.
Buck was a blusher. Eddie loved it.
Now, though, Chris had disappeared to brush his teeth and put on his pajamas, and Eddie and Buck were working in companionable quiet as they started to clean the table.
"You know, if Taylor being at my apartment means I get to spend the evening with my two favorite guys...” Buck said with a smile, closing the fridge as he leaned against it, keeping an ear out for Chris as he turned the faucet in the bathroom on. “...I’ll have to invite her over next time.”
Eddie shrugged, gesturing vaguely with a spoon, though he couldn’t keep the smile off of his face as he rose a brow. “Buck, you know you don’t need excuses, right? You’re allowed to like this. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I am as wrapped around your finger as you are Chris’s.”
Buck was blushing again, and that was all the encouragement Eddie needed to step forward, his arms wrapping around Buck as Buck started to speak again. “You... you know the feeling is mutual, right?” he asked, and Eddie felt himself light up. “And I... don’t really want to wait for a next time to spend some time with you either.”
Buck wasn’t sure which God was on his side, but either way, he was immensely thankful that Chris didn’t barge in until long after Eddie and Buck had separated, even if they were still breathing a little heavily.
--
The next unexpected visit, it turns out, was only four weeks and three planned dates later. 
Buck had had many a sleepless night after the tsunami, but after the lawsuit, his nightmares had become even worse, more intense, more real. There were nights where he had to tell himself, ten times, that Chris was okay, that he was alive, and then there were nights like tonight, where he let the fear outweigh the guilt and he called Eddie.
(It was probably telling that he was never afraid of his own death—only Chris’. If he had a therapist, he would probably bring that up, but... well, therapy had never been a great idea for Buck before.)
To his credit, Eddie hadn’t let it ring even twice before picking up. 
“Buck, Chris is okay. He’s okay. You saved him, Buck, and I can never thank you enough for that.”
“Ed—he was right there, and I lost him, and I—”
“He is okay. Buck, seriously, he’s okay. Here, you should come over. See for yourself?”
“What? No.” Buck may have been coming out of a nightmare, but even then, he knew not to risk disturbing Eddie more than he absolutely had to.
“Buck, whatever thoughts are swirling around in that head, you better, get your admittedly very attractive ass over here right now.”
...well, he couldn’t argue with that. 
Eddie could feel his heart break when he opened the door, though, and got an armful of puffy eyed, apologetic Buck in response. They quietly made their way over to Chris’ room and then to Eddies own, where he made no short work of Buck’s apologies, kissing him soundless every time he tried.
At the end of the night, Buck wasn’t sure what had helped him sleep better—seeing Chris alive and well, or spending his night in Eddie’s arms, wrapped up tight enough that he couldn’t break free even if he tried.
Not that he would.
--
“Hi Buck!”
“Hi Christopher!” 
Buck was all smiles as he swooped in to scoop Christopher into a big bear hug, leaning over to kiss Eddie’s cheek as he let Chris back down to the ground and they started walking back to the car. “How was school, buddy?” He asked, easily going into idle listening mode as Eddie’s hand slipped into his. It was an early release day for Christopher, and he had all but demanded that they spent the afternoon hanging out together—and it was moments like these that reminded Buck about how lucky he was, swinging his hand in Eddie’s like a teenager as they walked back to the car, Chris eagerly leading the way.
Honestly, if anything, the fact that a date night for Buck was now spending a night at the museum with his boyfriend and his kid (instead of in a club, or at a bar, or doing something he probably wouldn’t remember the next day) really was a testament to his own personal growth. No drinking, no drugs, no questionable sex with questionable people in questionable locations—just a nerdy firefighter and his kid.
Dinner consisted of hot dogs and pretzels and soda, and somehow Chris was outpacing them on energy as they wandered through the exhibits. Buck never quit being amazed at just how much Chris knew—hell, Buck was an adult and he still didn’t know the difference between a Monet painting and a Manet painting—but Chris was like the little brainiac Energizer bunny, his energy only weaning after they got home and demanded Buck read him two whole stories for bedtime, and Buck was feeling selfish enough to allow himself a few moments with Chris, sleeping on his shoulder, before he tucked the boy in for the night. 
“I’m gonna get going.”
“You don’t have to, you know?”
Eddie kept his voice low as Buck slid Chris’ door shut, his arms finding their way around Buck’s waist on autopilot, easily masking the twinge of annoyance he felt when Buck had the audacity to look surprised.
“What do you mean?”
If he ever met that Abby chick, he was going to give her a piece of his mind. 
“I mean you don’t have to leave. You can stay, sweetheart. I… well, I want you to stay, but I always want you to stay, so I’m a little biased. But you can stay as long as you want, whenever you want.” 
It was better, he hoped, to be direct, because Buck obviously didn’t get the hint after so many subtle cues. Hell, Eddie had given him a key after their third official date, and all Buck had commented was how glad he was to have it, in case of emergencies. Unfortunately, the fact that Buck seemed dumber then a box of rocks didn’t seem to count as an emergency. 
His argument seemed to be well received tonight, at least, because Buck smiled shyly as he looked up to Eddie, his own arms sliding around the other males shoulders. 
“You’re sure I won’t bother you and Chris, right? You really want me to stay tonight?”
“Of course I do.” Eddie said. For the rest of your life, he managed to keep inside. 
--
“Buck, you know you’re always welcome here, right?”
“Yes, Eddie.”
“And you know we love having you here, and we generally hate it when you leave.”
“I get it, Eddie.”
“So you know—“
“Eddie, will you please let me in?”
If Buck wasn’t soaked head to toe, standing on Eddie’s doorstep, he’d probably start to think that the universe was playing a cruel joke on the both of them. It was certainly playing a cruel joke on Eddie, to be honest—they had finished a particularly grueling overnight shift just three hours ago, and he had all but begged Buck to come and get some rest at the house while Christopher was out with Carla that day, and Buck had politely but firmly refused, not wanting to trample on any of the time that he got to take for himself. It was driving Eddie crazy, to be honest—he had really thought that they had made progress on that front, that they had finally gotten to the point where Buck didn’t think he was intruding, or interrupting, or distracting, or whatever. He really had thought he had made his stance clear—that he always loved spending time with Buck, period. 
Well, he was certainly never one to back down from a challenge. 
“What even happened, Buck?”
“The pipe burst in the apartment above me. I got soaked through in the middle of a nap.” 
“Oh, Buck.”
“It’s not funny, Eddie! I was trying to be considerate!”
“Baby, I’m not laughing. I’m just very distracted by how good you look soaking wet.”
“Eddie, I swear to god—“
“Do I look like I’m joking?”
“….oh. Oh!”
--
“I meant what I said, you know?”
“Hmm?”
They had gotten down to the lazy, delighted moments of the evening, standing together in the shower, Buck slotted easily into Eddies arms. They were taking advantage of the last twenty minutes they had together before Chris came home, and needless to say, neither of them were exactly jumping at the idea of wearing pants again.
“We love having you here, Chris and I. And we really do hate it when you leave because you think that you have to, or you think that you’re intruding, or you think… well, whatever else that you’re thinking.”
“Eddie…”
Buck turned in his arms, pushing his wet hair back, but Eddie smothered any chance of a self depreciating comment by pressing their lips together. He didn’t pull back until he knew Buck would be breathless, panting, and dazed, and it probably wasn’t fair to fight that way, but Eddie couldn’t handle another comment about how much of a bother Buck perceived himself.
“You’re home to me, Buck. Chris too. He loves you and he looks up to you, and you drive me crazy thinking that you could be anything but welcome in our lives. Buck, I want you to move in with us. Stay. Forever.”
There was a time and a place where Buck’s self doubt would have run rampant faced with a confession like that—hell, Buck 1.0 wouldn’t even have allowed a relationship to get that far—but somehow, looking up at Eddie, nothing could be more perfect. 
“You’re home to me too, Eddie.” He started, softly, a smile on his face. “And if you and Chris really wouldn’t mind—“
“It’s not just that we wouldn’t mind, though. It’s what we want. We want you to live with us, sweetheart.”
“… well, I’ve never been good at denying anything my Diaz boys want, have I?”
--
(Over dinner, Buck had nervously approached the topic with Chris, because no matter how sure Eddie was, Buck had to hear it for himself. 
Chris got so excited he almost threw up. 
Eddie considered everything about that night as a win—but the best part of all was the price, Buck, beautiful Buck, waiting for him in his—no, in their bed.)

“Lilith is that you??” @ the white eyes corpse

Both mom and Alexis hiding and shrieking as nancy looks around her house for the banging.
Punky Brewster ad, she goes “paget Brewster??”
“Those aren’t human! They’re not supposed to be in there” @whatever the fuck was in that body, said cheerfully and stupidly. 5 seconds later “Bess and Ace were too prepared for that apotoposty. (Pause for thinking)... autopsy.”
Starts calling the bugs “mouthboards” (she actually was calling them that the whole time)
Repeats “blinked” for thirty five seconds before pronouncing the i in any other way she can think of.
Fails at sliding down the railing because she couldn’t run downstairs fast enough before the show came on. Proceeds to crabwalk gallop back to her chair.
“That was scary!” (Said like Dean Winchester in “yellow fever”)
It’s called a vessel. 🖐🙄
WHY DO THEY DO EVERYTHING AT NIGHT.
“Scotland” but she said it in an awful British accent that was supposed to be Scottish-
“Seriously? Do they just lose Ted once every season now, or?”
*cryptic smooth beatbox dancing to end credit music?* update: she says it’s interpretive dancing...
She wants to know where Ryan is. “Why was he just MIA this whole time?”

The Fires We Were Forged In [Part 1]
A/N: Okay, I lied again. Here’s another canon-compliant Endgame story. Sort of, I guess. Yes, the Loki and Bucky story is coming soon, it’s still getting edited a bit but for now, I wanted to post this idea that came to me when I saw a post circling of texts Peter sent to Tony’s phone post-Endgame. (If someone has credit pls lemme know, I can’t find it) So, here this is. Stick through the angst for the ending, I promise it’s worth it. :) I can’t tell how many parts this will have without spoiling the ending, so just read on. I’m not self-centred about my writing but I promise this one is good.
Warning for Endgame spoilers and all that. Enjoy!
-
Peter wasn’t the best at coping. In fact, if there were a scoreboard kept, he was pretty sure he’d come right in last at the worst at it.
And sure, no one blamed him. No one blamed anything except for themselves, really. Peter felt it in the looks anyone wore whenever… that name was mentioned. Everyone, even people who weren’t involved, found a way to blame themselves. Carol wished she’d been the one to use the stones. Rhodey wished he’d stopped Tony. Pepper wished she’d intercepted the gauntlet to keep it away from Thanos. Steve wished he hadn’t ripped the Avengers apart.
Everyone blamed themselves because really, how else were they supposed to cope? How else were they supposed to handle the fact that the Earth’s best defender was gone, and they had to live to watch him go?
It hurt. It hurt worse than the burn in Peter’s throat when he screamed himself raw. It hurt worse than the bloody, bruised, probably broken knuckles Peter got from angrily punching the stray suit he came across when they were cleaning the workshop out.
Peter was horrible at coping.
He was gone. Tony. Iron Man. Tony goddamned Stark, the man who’d built his own legacy with scrap metal and a genius smile. The man who believed in Peter when no one else would even look at him. The man who killed Thanos and saved the universe, even if it cost him his life.
The man who fucking left Peter alone and sobbing at last nights because why the hell did Peter deserve to lose another father figure? Let alone, one like Tony?
Peter blamed Tony, and that was maybe the worst part of it. Everyone else blamed themselves, but Peter saw through it. No matter who’d’ve done what, Tony was the one who had to do it. Strange even said so. Tony Stark had to die for the universe to live.
Fate was a cruel thing. And Peter blamed Tony for being selfless enough to comply with it.
Still, Peter didn’t hate Tony. He just… he missed him. Same as everyone else. Peter tried his best to put himself back together and move on. He was an Avenger now, that was his job.
And it wasn’t so bad. Morgan was adorable, Harley was cool when he wasn’t being a dick, and Nebula was so much kinder than her metal exterior let on. Peter had a new family, one that mourned with him and didn’t blame Peter when he had to leave the room whenever someone even said Tony’s name.
They understood. It was as infuriating as it was comforting. To be surrounded by pitying looks and shoulder pats and soft voices asking Peter if he was okay.
No, Peter was not fucking okay.
But he tried to be. He tried to cope and find what helped him feel a little saner and put together even in his worst moments. It wasn’t perfect, but it was all he had.
Peter’s best and possibly also worst coping mechanism ended up being texting Tony.
Well, not Tony. Tony’s old number, that was now just a void for Peter to scream into when he needed it.
Peter remembered when Tony gave him that number. The idea of having Tony Stark’s personal number in Peter’s own phone was something that had Peter bouncing off the walls for days. He relished in it, sending Tony constant texts that started out as Spider-Man updates, but digressed into just random things that happened to Peter and he felt the need to tell someone about.
And Tony always answered. To every single text. Sure, the answers were brief sometimes, just a few emojis and a ‘good job, kid’ if it was something like Peter telling Tony he aced a test. Sometimes the answers were longer, more heartfelt when Peter admitted he was scared of his role as a hero. Tony was always there.
So sometimes it was just nice to send a text to a dead number, and imagine what the response would be.
Peter would send anything, really. Some days it’d be test scores, the next it’d be a picture of Morgan attacking Harley with his own potato gun while Nebula tried to suppress a smile in the background. There’d be heartfelt texts, sometimes. Ones of Peter promising Tony how much everyone remembered him, and how his sacrifice was so worth it, seeing all the happy families reunited.
Peter thought if he promised Tony that his sacrifice was worth it, maybe Peter would start believing it too.
Even if Peter could never really accept that the loss of a man that great could ever have a price.
Which was why Peter had his bad nights. His awful nights where everything hurt and all he wanted to do was destroy anything he could get his hands on, just hoping to feel something.
Those nights, the texts were angry. They were a jumble of words and letters of Peter yelling at Tony, demanding why he’d left his family behind, telling Tony that they didn’t fucking win, that nothing could ever be a win when Iron Man was dead. It was a desperate plea for help, at it’s core.
Peter was trying to pull his act together though. And it was going… well. He’d gone sixteen days, seven hours, and forty-three minutes since he was texted Tony’s dead number. The last text he’d sent had been out receiving his early acceptance letter from MIT. He was doing well.
But Peter was bad a coping.
So when a bad night came again, like they always did, Peter was curled up in the corner of his room, sobbing. He’d already punched a hole in his wall and broken a mirror. Peter ignored the glass. And the blood.
Instead, he grabbed his phone, with shaking hands, opening the last contact he should be opening like this.
Oh well.
The text Peter sent was hardly coherent. There were spelling errors, mixed up words. It didn’t matter. All that matter was the page long angry rant of pain as Peter yelled at Tony for leaving them all behind. Demanding that Tony come back, begging Tony to come back.
Why wouldn’t he come back? Why did everyone else get to come back?
Peter was crying so hard by the end of the text he wasn’t even sure if he sent send before chucking the phone onto his bed. He hugged his knees and sobbed, pushing himself further into the corner.
Peter hated everything. He hated Tony, he hated Thanos, he hated the Avengers, he hated Spider-Man, he hated-
The phone chimed.
Peter was so genuinely confused, he stopped crying for a second. His screen was lit, and from across the room, he could see the notification for a new text message.
Feeble, awful, senseless hope built in Peter as he crawled on his hands and knees through broken shards to grab the phone. It didn’t make sense, it couldn’t be him, but there was a part of Peter that wanted, so fucking badly. An awful selfish part that made Peter hold his breath as he took three tries to unlock his phone and open the message.
‘I’m really so sorry, but I just got this number. I think you’re looking for someone else.’
Oh.
Peter wanted to scream again.
The only thing he had left of Tony and even that had been taken away from him. The universe really did hate Peter, didn’t it?
With a soft sniffle, Peter managed to type out an apology and a promise to not contact the number again. Even as typing the words out made his heart feel like a twisted coil in his own chest.
‘It’s fine. You wanna talk about it? You seem like you need to let some stuff out.’
Peter paused. He did want to talk about it. Especially to someone who didn’t know him or anyone else that he knew. Just… a stranger.
‘Yeah. That sounds kinda nice.’
‘Cool. You’re talking about Iron Man, right? We all miss him. It hurts, having to see him everywhere but know he’s not really here.’
‘Yeah. It really sucks.’
‘Did you know him personally?’
‘He was my mentor, I guess. I looked up to him so much.’
‘Not to go out on a limb, but are you that spider kid in Queens people keep talking about? Everyone said that he went up into space with Iron Man when the first attacks came.’
‘It’s Spider-Man.’
‘I’ll take that as a yes.’
Peter didn’t realize his face was dry of tears until he smiled. Actually smiling, without hiding anything underneath it felt… nice. Really nice.
‘You can’t tell anyone you know Spider-Man. I’m an Avenger, you know.’
‘Like people would believe me anyway. An actual Avenger? Have you met Pepper Potts?’
‘Mrs Potts and I talk all the time. I’m really close with Morgan.’
‘Yeah, their kid, right? This has really gotta suck for her. Losing a hero is nothing like losing a father.’
‘I know how she feels. I think she understands it a lot more than people are willing to admit. No one wants her to have to grow up this fast.’
‘How can she not, being surrounded by superheroes like you?’
‘Fair point.’
Peter spent the rest of the night texting the… new person.
And the rest of the next night.
It became a kind of routine. Peter never asked anything about the person, and they never really offered the information. They both seemed fine with that, really. Even though Peter still didn’t have the heart to change the contact name, it didn’t hurt as much, or even at all some days, when he saw it. His new friend was funny and smart enough to keep up with Peter, always teasing him about whatever he was on the news for that week.
And always being there for Peter in his worst moments. In the moments where all Peter could manage to say was ‘I hate him I hate him I hate him’ over and over again until his fingers were numb, they stayed with him.
It was better than any therapy session Aunt May dragged Peter to.
Peter did feel bad about it, some days. Dumping all his problems on this random person, no matter how much they assured Peter that it was fine, as long as they were paid back in information about his suit. Which Peter didn’t care enough not to share because it was really cool, to be honest.
On the week Peter was packing up for MIT, he found himself complaining to them.
‘Moving for college sucks. It’s stress and too much work.’
‘Mood. I’m in my first year at MIT, it doesn’t get any better once classes start.’
‘Wait, really? MIT?’
‘Yup. Jealous, spider boy?’
‘Not really, it’s where I’m going too.’
‘For real? Nice job. He’d be proud of you, you know.’
Peter smiled softly at his phone. ‘Yeah, I know.’ He thought a quiet moment. ‘Hey, since I’ll be there in a week, how about we meet up?’
The few seconds it took for Peter’s message to be read, then to watch the typing were agonizing.
‘You sure you’re okay with some rando knowing your secret identity?’
‘You’ve helped me through so much, I feel like you already know me. Let’s go out for coffee, it’s the least I can do. Please?’
Another agonizing pause.
‘Fine. But I pick the coffee place.’
Peter grinned.
Peter and his texting buddy planned their coffee meet up for a few days after Peter officially moved into his dorm room. He’d sent a selfie so they would recognize him, which got Peter a snarky comment that he looked just as dorky under the mask that made Peter laugh.
If Peter thought the anxiety of moving into college was bad, it had nothing on meeting his friend of months for the first time. A friend that he didn’t even know the name of.
Oh god.
Peter arrived to the coffee shop ten minutes early and spent five of those ten minutes feverishly checking that he got the right place and time and date. He chose an outside table, so hopefully, he’d be recognized more easily. Since he couldn’t exactly look out for someone he didn’t know the face of.
Peter spent the next five minutes playing on his phone, switching from app to app, not having the concentration to commit to anything.
After that, he began counting the minutes that his friend was late.
What if he’d been set up? What if it was just a big joke? What if they were going to scam him?
At seven minutes in of internal panicking, Peter’s attention was pulled from his phone by shouting.
“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! The professor would not shut up! I ran here, I’m so sorry!”
The young woman standing in front of Peter’s table did look like she’d run there. Her dark skin was flushed with adrenaline, frizzy black hair in a mess falling out of her hair tie. She blew it out of her face with a scowl. The woman practically threw her stack of binders and lose papers onto the table, revealing the Iron Man shirt she was wearing that hung loosely, slipping off of her shoulders.
Peter gave her a long, blank stare. “Are you…”
She plopped down in the chair across from Peter. “Hey, spider boy.”
Peter smiled so wide it hurt. It’d been a while since he’d worn a smile like that. “It’s just Peter. Peter Parker.”
The woman smiled back, extending her hand across the table. “Cool. I’m Riri Williams.”
