#Like I was just telling my freind he was hanging on

[sage-thetravler]

sad news. My fifteen year old cat was taken and put down today, my grandma just sent the text. He was with me for most of my childhood, and I don’t know how to feel now that he’s gone. His name was jasper

[seph-ic]

Underrated pjo dynamic? Will and Clarisse as a parallel to Nico and Reyna

It makes sense though

Both of them are daughters of a war goddess who spontaneously decided to take on a big sister role to the local traumatized queer child.

They are very gentle and caring with both of them and see a lot of themselves in the boys

Clarisse also coaches Will through being a head councilor and gives him a ton of tips on how to get his siblings to listen to him

When will confesses to her that his powers make him feel useless somtimes she reminds him that he is the reason half her cabin is alive to fight

She also offers to give him some combat training if that will help him feel a better, which he takes her up on

Will also helps Clarisse manage her anger.

Like if she’s having a really bad day she’ll just head over to the infirmary and hang out with him

Will also likes having her there to move heavy boxes

When Reyna is feeling stressed and overworked she asks Nico to teach her how to play mythomagic which he does

I like to think that the the four of them had a friendly rivalry post boo

Like they would sparr together or compete against one another in capture the flag

It nearly ended in many fatalities but Reyna did in fact win

But later Clarisse beat her at an arm wrestle to square off

After this they have a sort of best freinds sort of rivals thing going on

Like no one can tell if they like or hate one another

Not even them

Instead of Nico and/or will getting the shovel talk the girls give it to one another

Like ‘if you’re brother hurts my brother I will end you’ ‘I if Nico breaks his heart I’ll break your arm”

Despite this they are very aware of the mutual crushing and play wingman a lot

Reyna will intentionally throw Nico around in training for the sole purpose of getting him sent to the infirmary

Like not enough to cause any actual harm, but enough to have Will spend an afternoon with him

Clarisse is not much better.

She’ll make medical calls when she’s out doing training and Nico is in the vicinity

“Will! Come quick one of my campers just got hurt!” “…is Nico with you?” “….maybe…”

They also absolutely rally for them in any councilor meetings.

Like one time Will suggests that they have more basic first aid training for all campers and everyone is like ‘ehhhh idk’ but Clarisse is just standing behind him staring daggers at everyone and they switch up real fast.

Once Nico and Will are actually dating they give the worst relationship advice

Cause they are just as bad at it as the boys are

“Reyna I’m freaking out what if he tries to hold my hand?” “Tell him you want to have his babies”

“Are flowers too much for a first date?” “Not enough, I got Chris a bloody spear, think big solace.”

Homophobia is becomes basically a death penalty at both camps

Like if they’re is so much as a whisper of anything or anyone being homophobic they are the officially enemy #1 of the Ares cabin and like, the entire legion.

By the gods they will find a way to make your life a living hell.

Also Will makes Clarisse friendship bracelets

!Pairing: Sunghoon x Reader!

Genre: Freinds to lovers, fluff.

synopsis: You and Sunghoon have known eachother since you were 10, everyone believes you are dating but thats not true... Yet.

Warnings: None

You and Sunghoon first met at a figure skating competition when you were both ten. You weren't paying attention to the boys' competition until you saw him. He was very graceful, and his movements smooth and somehow sharp at the same time, you were mesmerized by his routine, you don't care much about boys considering they have cooties and were probably infected with something but seeing him on the ice you felt as if you couldn't look away before his routine was over you made your way off of the bleachers and rushed over to the opening of the rink waiting for him to finish. 

Sunghoon felt good about his routine seeing the crowd cheer loudly for him, especially his family, he smiled to himself and turned to exit the rink, when he took his first step out he was met by a girl. He looked up at her face, surprised to see her leaning close to him, her eyes wide and sparkling in admiration, 

“You were so amazing out there!” The girl spouted startling Sunghoom, “Oh,” his eyes widened, “thank you.” He responds, bowing his head in thanks, the girl grins up at him and continues spouting compliments at the quiet boy, “Seriously you're very gifted, and your movements were so controlled and smooth, it was all very inspiring.” The girl compliments. Sunghoon doesn’t know how to react other than thanking the girl. You realized how awkward the boy must've felt to have someone he doesn't know showering him with compliments so you quickly backed away bowing in embarrassment, “I'm very sorry I didn't mean to overwhelm you, I'm [L/n] [Y/n].” You introduce yourself, and the boy nods his head in a bow curtly introducing himself as well, “I’m Park Sunghoon, it's nice to meet you.” He too introduces himself, the girl opens her mouth but is interrupted by Sunghoon's family coming to tell him how great he did, she backs away wanting to give them privacy but his mom notices the girl and coos at her before turning back to Sunghoon, “Oh my, Sunghoon did you make a friend?” She chuckles, turning around towards the girl, you notice his mom looking at you and quickly bow “Hello ma’am I was just telling your son how well he did, I believe he has great skill.” You politely say to the older woman, “Oh my and you’re so polite too,” she coos again, “Please dear just call me Mrs. Park.” She bows to you, “Very well, It’s a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Park I’m [L/n] [Y/n], I’ll be competing in the girl competition tomorrow.” You introduce yourself respectfully while showing a toothy grin, The mention of you being a figure skater too catches the attention of Sunghoon, ”Wait, you skate too?” He asks excitedly, you’re just happy you got more emotion out of the boy, and you nod excitedly at him, “Yep, And I'm really good too!” you boast pridefully, and that sentence alone made you and Sunghoon friends.

You and Sunghoon are now in your third year of high school and are still very close friends. Sunghoon was hanging out with his group of friends when you come racing down the hall towards him, he hasn’t noticed you yet but you see his friends glancing at you, so you hold up a finger to your lips telling them to stay quiet, they shake their heads chuckling softly right before you jump onto the unsuspecting boy, making him rush to wrap his hands around your thighs, you grip tightly around his neck and laugh at the fearful look on his face, “[Y/n] what have I said about jumping on me when I’m not paying attention.” He scolds half-heartedly chuckling and shaking his head, you pout, “But you’re cutest when you’re a bit startled,” You giggle, “Besides I know you’ll always catch me.” You say optimistically, the boys around you two all whistle at your comment and Sunghoon rolls his eyes at this but readjusts his grip on you, Jungwon ever the responsible one checks his phone for the time and his eyes widen when he realizes class will be starting soon, “Guys we should get going, class is gonna start in a few minutes.” The rest of them groan but listen to the boy nonetheless and start to disperse from their spot, when everyone has left you attempt to hop off of him but he griped onto you tighter and starts walking towards your shared class, “Hoon let me down, this is embarrassing.” You whine but he simply ignores you and continues on his way, the two of you are receiving looks as you walk down the hall and you manage to hear some of the whispers from those you pass by, “Wow, she’s so lucky.” A girl says and her friend agrees, “I know right, they’re such a cute couple.” They whisper to each other. At hearing their words your face becomes flushed and your pulse picks up, ‘Do we really look like a couple?’ You think to yourself but shake your head at the thought, “Nah no way.” You whisper to yourself, “Did you say something?” Sunghoon asks, but you shake your head coming up with an excuse “I just said I like the view.” He hums. When you finally reach the door to your classroom he sets you down and you walk over to your seat embarrassed.

During lunch Sunghoon sits with his other friends while you sit with yours at separate tables, “Dude, are you and [Y/n] secretly dating or something cause everyone was talking about how they saw you giving her a piggyback ride to class.” Heesung asks, “No we aren’t dating.” Sunghhon shakes his head no but the others don’t believe it and all glance at each other, “Well do you like her then?” Jake asks him next, Sunghoon once again denies this saying “We’re just friends.” All of his friends looked at him with a deadpan look, “Are you sure that's all she really is to you?” Jay asks, “Oo! If she’s just a friend can I ask her out, she's seriously bad.” Jake thirsts making Sunghoon glare at him, Sunoo also pipes in his two cents, “If she’s just a friend then why do you look at her like she's everything to you?” He asks sassily crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow, Sunghhon scoffs “Yeah no, you’re wrong I do not look at her like that.” He crosses his arms defensively at the accusation, the others roll their eyes at his defensive tone and actions and decide to drop it for now.

Meanwhile, you’re sitting with your friends as they interrogate you about Sunghoon, “I mean would I make out with him? Yeah, but like totally platonically.” You say and your friends roll their eyes. They've been trying to get you to admit you have feelings for the handsome boy but you always say things like that, “Uhm, okay but don’t you think he’s cute?” Your other friend asks, “Of course he’s cute, are you blind?” You state as if it were obvious, “Okay, so you think he’s cute that's a start.” Another one of your friends Kiko says sighing in relief, “Have you ever had dreams of the two of you together?” Emi asks. “Yeah, okay, so what if I dream of us together, but don’t we all dream of our best friends like that?” You state as if it were the most normal thing in the world, “Yeah no, that's not normal at all.” All of your friends say in sync staring at you weirdly, “Yeah whatever, I’m gonna head out see ya guys later.” You push away from the table, grabbing your bag, leaving all of your friends sitting there dumbfounded at your stupidity. 

After school, you and Sunghoon walk back to his house together, while walking he listens to you yap about all kinds of things until one thing you say catches his attention, “Oh, and during last period Jake came up to me and asked me out.” You say nonchalantly but he instantly snaps his head to you, “He did?” he asks gritting his teeth, you take offense to this, “What am I not pretty enough for guys to ask me out or something?” You glare crossing your arms as you glare at Sunghoon, “No, of course not-” He tries to explain but you cut him off, “Wow okay thanks.” You say before walking away from him, he tries to explain that wasn’t what he meant but you ignore him and continue on your way home, “[Y/n], please you’re beautiful, I swear that wasn’t what I meant.” this finally makes you stop walking away, “Go on.” You say waiting for him to say more still facing away from him, “You’re stunning, you have an amazing personality, you are the best figure skater I know, and any guy would be lucky to take you on a date [Y/n], but I just-” He sighs, “I guess I’m just jealous.” He admits and this catches your attention, you finally turn to face him with wide eyes, “Jealous? Why would you be Jealous?” You ask, “I-I’m not sure I just feel strange around you.” He breathes out, and now this makes you even more confused, “Are you sick or something?” You question, “No, not that kind of weird, it’s just my heart starts to beat faster, I always want you close to me and I don’t like seeing you be close with other guys.” He admits, “Hm, Kinda sounds like you like me or something.” You try to joke but Sunghon makes a face that looks as if he’s just had an epiphany, “Oh my god.” he whispers out his eyes gazing at you in a new light, you’ve always been his gorgeous best friend but for some reason he can’t help but want more now, he slowly approaches you grasping your hand in his, “What are you doing?” You whisper staring at him, “Testing something.” All he responds with, as soon as your hand is held in his, he feels his heartbeat pick up and he can feel himself getting giddy at the thought of holding hands with you “We’ve held hands lots of time, why’re acting weird about it now?” You ask, but he ignores the question and asks his own, “W-would it be weird if we kissed right now? Be honest.” He asks his breath shallow and his hand beginning to shake in yours, You flush at his question and look away from him and at one of the houses in the neighborhood, “Yes, but I don’t mind.” You whisper out, He grins before moving his free hand up and cupping your cheek turning you to face him, you stare deep into each other's eyes before he slowly leans down to capture your lips in his, as your lips press together toy raise yourself onto your tippy toes, and releasing your hand from his as you slowly have your arms make their way up his chest and finally to his neck where you wrap your arms around him, he smirks into the kiss and you begin to giggle forcing the two of you apart, you stand there gazing into each other's eyes, your forehead resting against his, you’re still on your tiptoes with your arms wrapped around him but now his hand engulfs your waist to keep you steady. You’re still giggling and he can’t help but admire how beautiful you look right now with flushed cheeks and swollen lips, he believes you are the epitome of beauty, “I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to kiss you.” You hum out, closing his eyes and leaning more into you, “Yeah, we should really never do this again,” you sigh also closing your eyes, “Unless you want me to fall head over heels for you.” You tease him, “Well I guess we’ll have to do it again because that’s exactly what I want.” He chuckles before leaning in for a second kiss, after pulling apart for the second time he breathes out a confession “I don’t think I can just be friends with you anymore [Y/n], Will you please let me be your boyfriend?” He practically begs out, “Of course Hoonie, I’d love that.” You grin.

The next day the two of you walk into school together, walking towards where he usually meets his friends, when the two of you arrive they all look down at your hands, they’ve seen you both hold hands many times before but for some reason, something feels different. “Hey, Jake I’m sorry but I’m gonna have to cancel our date.” You apologize to the boy, “Oh uhm no worries did you wanna reschedule or something?” He asks but you shake your head, “Sorry but I don’t think my boyfriend would approve of me going on a date with his friend.” You joke, raising your and Sunghoons intertwined hands. “What!” the group exclaims begging you to tell them more details of how and when he confessed, “Well after I told him about our date he told me he didn’t want me going out with you,  then proceeded to kiss me.” You muse at the memory of your walk home, “Then I told her there’s no way we could stay friends after that.” He shrugs, even just speaking about the confession makes you giddy. “Oh, and by the way I won’t be able to hang out tonight either, we’re going on a date.” This makes Sunoo curious and the boy must know what the plans are, Sunghoon sighs before telling the boy them all “We’re going to the place we met.”

Our children yearn for the waterpark

part one

barbie dolls: Jegulus x you

word:3.9k

summary:James takes you and regulus (along with your children) to a waterpark

warnings: your son is named Elliot, also you're referred to as Ren and Rena like the gn term for your parent so just yk it's not an oc i promise, pushing the trans James agenda, James is a baker and regulus is a stay at home dad/writer you’re a teacher just so you know, modern au I'm SORRY, James’ parents are alive, Regulus has freinds, Regulus hates the public water, Allusions to poc Luna harry and james, your race and elliots race is not menntioned everyone is welocome, you dont get in the water, Regulus is a sunscreen god he loves sunscreen so much, Harry is mentioned to have moms theyre giving divorce core mom and dad’s house, james drives a minivan, allusions to autistic reader and Elliot but its not specified, your swimsuit is not mwntioned or described so again everybody welcome, i hate typos oh my god

You liked dating James and Regulus. Your relationship was still very fresh, but their effect was hard to miss. They made you laugh all the time. James was very energetic, matching your kids well. Regulus was blunt and it relaxed your nerves of missing a hidden message in a conversation. And they were both great parents. Your kids already loved each other and they got along well.

School was out. Meaning both you and Elliot had loads of free time on your hands. With summer in full swing, you set up frequent playdates with Elliot’s two best friends. You wanted him to keep his strong bonds with them and it definitely wasn’t because you missed Regulus and James. Regulus was really self-employed. He stayed at home to raise Luna and to write his books. He could easily add a playdate to his schedule. James however was a baker with hours he had to meet. So he didn’t always have a clear schedule. Harry would stay with his grandparents, Euphemia and Fleamont, while James was at work. Harry also spent a lot of time at his Moms’ house. So making a playdate with all three children involved was harder than expected. Elliot still liked hanging out with Luna, and sometimes even Harry too on certain weekends.

Your phone rang as you were cutting up celery for Elliot. He was going through a peanut butter phase, eating it on everything. You picked up the call, holding the phone with your shoulder and the side of your face.

“Hello?”

“Hey, Pretty. It’s me.” You smiled at James’ voice. Just as you were about to tell him hi again, he started talking. “Lemme add Regulus.” You stayed silent as his side went quiet. You heard Elliot in the other room, clacking his toys together on the dining room table. You snagged a pretzel from the small pile on his plate. Soon enough James and Regulus both joined.

“Are you guys busy this weekend?” You scoffed at James. You heard Regulus sniffle a laugh on his line.

“James, baby, we’re always free. Do try to remember our professions.” You said as you smeared peanut butter onto Elliot’s celery.

“Right yeah, well I just accidently bought exactly six passes to this really cool waterpark,” James said, whispering the last word. You oooed while Regulus snorted.

“James, do share with us how you accidentally bought exactly enough passes for all of us and our children.” Regulus pressed. You heard Luna in the background let out a yell filled with laughter.

“Was that Luna?” You asked. Regulus explained that her uncles were over and attacking her with tickles. Regulus returned the conversation to the waterpark passes.

“alright fine, you caught me. I missed you guys. I’ve been so busy with work, I feel like I haven’t seen you all summer.” You cooed at James while Regulus let out a whine.

“He cares.” Regulus mocked.

“How adorable.” You joined in making James groan loudly. “What day were you planning on going to the p-a-r-k, James?” You spelled out where you were going so Elliot wouldn’t overhear and get excited. You turned around to the color-coordinated calendar on the fridge. It was mostly empty, you and Elliot preferred the company of each other than strangers. Though you had a really exciting playdate with Luna planned next Thursday. What a wild life you lived.

“This Saturday if that works for you two.” You glanced over at the empty box.

“Yeah, I could squeeze you in.” You muttered into the microphone as you turned back to Elliot’s plate.

“Lemme check my planner.” Regulus waited for a second. “Oh that’s right, I hate human beings. I'm completely free.” James let out a sigh of relief. You picked up Elliot’s plate, walking it to the dining room. Elliot was sitting in a chair, his little arms just barely reaching over the edge of the table, smacking two toy cars together. You set his plate in front of him. Elliot thanked you, shoving the peanut butter-covered celery into his mouth. You kissed his forehead, ruffling his hair before pulling back. You noticed his bare legs.

“Baby, where are your pants?” You tilted your head. Elliot pointed to the bathroom.

“Hamper,” Elliot answered.

“Well, good job putting them in the hamper but why aren’t they on your legs?” You asked.

“Didn’t wanna wear ‘em,” Elliot said, his mouth full of celery.

“Can’t argue with that, make sure you chew all the way okay.” Elliot nodded as you left to go clean the kitchen.

“One thing I will say though, I’m not getting that water. Do you realize how filthy those things are?” You tuned back into the conversation listening to Regulus list off statistics of how gross waterparks are.

“That’s okay, I’ll be in the water so I can make sure Luna doesn’t swim away or anything,” James said, clearing up the problem. You nodded.

“I’ll dry off Luna if you don’t want to touch the water on her, and we’ll lay a towel over one of those chairs that are shaded so we know it's clean. If you feel lonely, I'll sit with you and James if you feel tired we can swap places.” You offered, wanting to fill in any potholes in your plans.

“You are very kind, darling,” Regulus muttered. You cooed at him as you shoved the peanut butter back in the high cabinet so Elliot wouldn’t eat it all in one sitting and hurt his stomach.

“You guys are nasty. I was thinking maybe we carpool so nobody gets lost and it saves gas.” James said. You hummed while Regulus made a disapproving sound.

“James, there’s like twelve of us. Are you driving a bus?” Regulus said, poking holes into James’ ideas. If you were looking at James you assumed he’d be rolling his eyes.

“I have a big van. It has enough seating for us, I counted to make sure.” You hummed.

“Okay, baby, whatever you want.” You agreed, putting the celery into the refrigerator. Regulus sighed.

“I suppose that could work.” You snorted at Regulus’ faked disappointment. You heard Luna call for Regulus on his side.

“I’m being called for Yeti in my Spaghetti, I have to go.” You all said bye before hanging up.

Saturday came faster than you thought it would. You were packing a big bag of sunscreen and towels, in no time. You told Elliot he didn’t need to wear his goggles before you even got in the car but he was excited. You let it slide, you’re only seven once. You were a little anxious about the whole thing, you worried one of the kids would splash Regulus. You were worried they would slip on the wet concrete and crack their head. You worried Elliot’s goggles were too tight on his head. You heard an engine approaching. You looked out the window to verify it was James. Definitely his red minivan, bumper stickers littering the back. You turned around to Elliot.

“You know who’s in the driveway?” Elliot jumped up off the couch, bouncing on his feet.

“Harry and Luna?” You nodded. Elliot bolted towards the door. You were opening the minivan door in no time, a wave of hello’s meeting you and Elliot. Luna and Harry were next to each other in the back row.

“They wanted to sit in the back because they’re spies.” You hummed at Regulus’ explanation. You were able to fit Elliot’s booster seat in the back, next to Luna. You pushed the seat in front of them back, sitting in the row in front of theirs. Regulus was in the passenger seat, tilting his head back to see you. You smiled at him warmly as you buckled your seatbelt. James’ face appeared next to his, looking at you.

“Hi,” James said, a light air to his greeting.

“Hi.”

“Okay, waterpark here we come!” James said, loud enough for the back row to hear. The kids all squealed, thrashing their legs and arms around. Your trip to the waterpark calmed your worries. James and Regulus’ presence already working numbers. James apparently made a summertime fun playlist specifically for this. The kids seemed to enjoy it. Luna made her doll dance and Elliot made his car dance. Harry just made himself dance.

You six easily made it through the gates. You were holding hands with Regulus on one side and Elliot on the other. When you look back to see Elliot holding onto Luna’s hand and Luna holding onto Harry’s hand, you had flashbacks to watching ducks cross the road. James was in the front leading you all to his Harry’s favorite part of the waterpark. Regulus narrowly avoided a small kid with Nemo arm floaties splashing. You rubbed his arm in sympathy.

“I'll dry you off if you get any water on you, and I have hand sanitizer and butt wipes in my bag. Regulus knocked your cheek with his head in a thank you. James ran ahead, snagging a sunlounger for Regulus. You pulled a towel out of your bag, handing it to James. Regulus settled onto the chair, digging into his own bag. He motioned for Luna to come over, squirting a mountain of tinted sunscreen into his hands. Regulus smothered Luna in sunscreen, making sure she was covered entirely.

Luna had on an adorable bright orange swimsuit with ruffles around the edges. She had matching arm floaties that she talked Regulus out of, pinkie promising to stay in the shallow end. You knew that within an hour she’d want to go into the deep end and Regulus would have to talk her into a life vest and arm floaties. Luna was free though, slipping her Tinkerbell flip-flops off and splashing into the shallow end. You were in the kid's area so there wasn’t even really a deep end but you could easily imagine Luna tricking someone into taking her to the lazy river.

Harry was next in the sunscreen line. Harry had on a long-sleeved swim shirt and Lighting McQueen shorts. James had on just red shorts. He had already tossed his coverup tee off. You didn’t want to oggle him. James had antler tattoos following the path of the scars on his chest. Regulus’ shorts were blue, you expected him to stay under the shade the whole time.

James pulled his spray can of suscreen out of his bag. Regulus looked aghast at James even thinking of covering a human in that. Regulus slapped it out of James’ hands, using Luna’s sunscreen on Harry instead. Regulus forced James into using Luna’s sunscreen as well. Regulus smothered some over James’ cheeks. It made James fluster, giggling and needing to turn around to take a moment to himself. After Regulus smothered James and Harry in sunscreen, he pulled Elliot over.

You sat next to Regulus as he rubbed sunscreen into Elliot’s skin. You held onto Elliot’s hand, he was squeezing the life out of it. Elliot hated the texture of sunscreen but he liked playing in the water more than sitting in the shade. He just needed a little bit of comfort through it and he was okay. After Regulus was done Elliot moved into your arms for more comfort. You hummed, squeezing him tight. You rocked him gently, giving him all the praises he needed. Elliot eventually pulled back, leaving his shoes next to his friends’ and joining them in the water. You smiled at him splashing with his friends, the three of them flinging water at James, who pretended to die and crash into the water.

You turned back to Regulus, happy you were all together. Regulus was staring at you with a deadly serious look in his eyes. His palms were pointed towards you, you glanced down at them. Your smile slightly fell when you realized they were coated in sunscreen.

“Oh Regulus, I actually put some on at ho-“ Regulus shut you up by smothering your face with his hands. He removed them, smearing his hands down your arms. You sputtered, he avoided your eyes and mouth shockingly. Regulus returned his hands to your face, now gently rubbing it into your face. You understood now why this flustered James. Regulus had both hands on your face treating your skin with such love, making sure you were fully protected. He eventually sat back, adding more to his hands before looking up at you.

“Can I do the rest or do you want to?” You shrugged.

“I’m cool with whatever you want, babe.” Regulus sighed. He hated when people made him make decisions.

“I'll do most.” You hummed in approval. He rubbed sunscreen into most of your skin, handing you the bottle to finish. When you were done you squeezed some of Regulus’ sunscreen into your hands, facing him with the same severity. He looked up from rubbing some into his arms. He raised an eyebrow at you.

“I'll get your back, baby.” Regulus squinted his eyes at you. You grinned.

“Are you trying to steal my job?” You shook your head moving to sit behind him. You applying sunscreen devolved into you just rubbing the tension out of his shoulders. Regulus dropped his head back against you. You wrapped your arms around his shoulders, lightly pecking his cheek on the way. You both watched as James picked Harry up by his ankles, wrapping his arms around Harry’s legs, and swinging him around. It made Harry giggle loudly, squealing and swinging his arms around. James gently set Harry back on his feet, splashing all three of your kids with a large swing of his arms. James left the water, squeezing his shorts out. He slumped down into the sun lounge chair next to you that you claimed with your bag.

He pulled his arms under his head, sighing. You admired the way the sun warmed his skin. You were not checking him out you were just checking for sunburns. Regulus pressed a kiss to your arm, leaning out of your hold. James opened his eyes, looking over at you both.

“So I was thinking, maybe we go out to eat after this.” You hummed nodding your head.

“You pick, I hate making decisions,” Regulus muttered. You patted his shoulder.

“Parenting must be hard for you.” Regulus nodded at you. He looked up when he heard Luna scream. Harry was splashing her. Elliot was near them staring at the lost water shoe sitting at the edge of the shallow water.

“Elliot, leave the shoe alone.” You yelled over at him. His head shot up, caught. He stood up and pointed down at it.

“Rena, it has no brother. Where’s the owner?” You shrugged at him.

“I don’t know, baby. Leave it alone, you don’t know what somebody could’ve stepped in.” Elliot pouted at you. Your yelling caught the attention of the other two. They stood around the lost shoe staring down at it. You stood up, joining them so now all four of you were standing around this lost shoe and inspecting it. You told them not to touch it running over to the nearby snowcone stand asking for napkins. You picked the shoe up with a napkin. The three children follow you to the trashcan. You set it on top in case the owner came back, and looked for it. You tossed the napkins into the trashcan, turning around to your little huddle of kids.

“Why can you touch it but we can’t?” Luna asked, staring up at you.

“I had napkins, and I’m an adult so I can make my own decisions about my health.” Luna pouted at your answer.

“That’s unjust,” Luna muttered under her breath.

“Can we have napkins?” Harry asked. You shook your head. Elliot scoffed.

“This sucks, you took away my shoe.” You dropped your shoulders.

“I’m sorry hun but you can’t have that shoe. it’s not for you.” You looked around the huddle to make sure they all understood. Luna pushed her wet hair away from her face. Elliot turned around and left, the other two following after him. When you returned to James and Regulus, you noticed how much Luna was fighting with her hair. It kept sticking to her face and annoying her. Her eyebrows were pushed together and she looked close to drowning her mermaid doll.

“Regulus, could I put Luna’s hair up? It keeps getting in her face.” Regulus shrugged. He reached over to his bag, pulling two hairbands off a key chain and handing them to you. You asked Luna if she wanted her hair up. She said yes and settled in front of you on the chair. You had James run to the snowcone stand and ask for a cup of water. You made sure her hair was damp, so you wouldn’t hurt it. You gently pulled her hair up into a ponytail, using the hair ties Regulus gave you to hold it. You patted her arms when you were done. Luna turned around and gave you a tight hug.

After another hour of the kids and James being rowdy, you were all tired. You stayed true to your word, drying Luna off with her towel while Regulus packed up his bag. With everyone buckled in the car, James started towards whatever food place he picked. The ride back from the waterpark was much calmer and quieter than the ride to. The kids were tired, you were tired, the car was tired. You glanced over at Regulus when you heard him mutter something. You noticed James’ hand resting on Regulus’ thigh. You smiled at that, glad you were all close. James smiled brightly at Regulus, making the car heat up with his joy.

“Well thank you, I like your swimsuit too.” You glanced at the backseat making sure all three kids were asleep.

“Oh, that’s why you invited us to the waterpark. To see me and Regulus half naked. I get it now.” James looked at you through the rearview mirror.

“No, I wanted you guys to have fun, don't soil my good name like that,” James said, giving you a playful glare. Regulus ignored you both, resting his head against his arm on the door. You noticed James’ thumb swiping back and forth in a soothing manner. You smiled at him before returning your attention out the window.

Eventually, you were gently rocking the kids’ knees so they would wake up. When they realized they had the prospect of chicken strips and french fries, they were scrambling out of their seats. You were sat at a round booth. It was more of a fast food than a restaurant place so your wet swimsuit coverups weren’t really a problem. You helped Elliot pick out his meal as James helped Harry. Luna apparently already knew what she wanted, busying herself with the sugar packets.

Your food arrived and you cut up Harry’s chicken strips while James caught you and Regulus up with what was going on with him. You slid Harry’s plate back to him. Elliot handed you the small bowl of ketchup like it was going to bite him.

“Nasty, Rena. I don't want it.” You nodded, taking it away. You set it between you and James so Elliot wouldn’t have to look at it.

“Oh thank you.” James dunked one of his fries into the bowl. You weren’t going to correct him and tell him you didn’t do that on purpose so you just smiled. You checked on Elliot, seeing him chomp into his chicken strips, tearing it away. He rawred before chewing properly. You put together that he was probably pretending to be a dinosaur. His favorite was a velociraptor. He liked that they looked like ‘stupid chickens’. You glanced over at Luna. She was chowing down on her burger. She ordered for herself. She did a great job too. Luna was very well-spoken, she seemed to have a big vocabulary. It probably had something to do with living with a writer. Especially a writer like Regulus.

You tore off a corner from your paper napkin. You rolled it into a ball before chucking it at Regulus. It hit him square in the forehead. Regulus set his fork down, looking down at the paper ball in his lap. He looked up at you and James both smothering your laughter. He reached over and covered Harry’s eyes before flipping you off. Elliot was luckily under the table getting his crayon off the floor. James dropped his fry. Regulus picked up his fork taking a proud bite out of his own fry. You ignored the fact he was eating fries with his fork and that he passed it to Luna.

“What about Luna?” James asked. Regulus removed his hand from Harry. Harry glared at Regulus before picking up another chicken strip.

“Oh, I already sawed that. Uncle B said it means I love you but Uncle Rosie told me the truth. Uncle B likes partial jokes.” Luna said, matter of factly. She kept her eyes on her burger before taking a bite. Regulus nodded at her.

“Practical, not partial. You used the phrase practical jokes correctly though. Good job, Lue.” Luna smiled with her cheeks full at Regulus. You understood why her vocab was so big now, it was Regulus. Elliot rawred again, making three claws with his fingers to pick up his chicken strips.

You were all strapped into James’ minivan and on the way back home, in no time. The kids were entertaining each other in the backseat. James had his playlist softly playing in the background.

“We should get together just us,” James said. Regulus looked away from his window raising an eyebrow at him.

”Is that not what we just did?” Regulus asked. James shook his head.

“No I mean like we should go on a for real date, not a playdate that we happen to flirt in the background. We go out just the three of us. Maybe not the waterpark though.” James explained, keeping his eyes on the road.

“I want to but it’s kinda hard getting a babysitter.” You said, looking between them. Regulus turned around to make eye contact with you.

“Elliot could spend the night at my house, I have like a thousand free babysitters,” Regulus said, waving his hand through the air.

“What will Uncle B teach my kind how to say fuck in every language?” You teased. Regulus pressed his lips togehter.

”He’s actually not that bad, he’s really good with kids. He just also has an odd sense of humor.” you squinted at Regulus. ” It's alright if you don't want him to babysit I can have Evan and Dorcas babysit. Evan is just as insane as Barty but he lowers it while around children. Barty doesn’t. Docas is super cool, she’ll probably teach Elliot how to sword fight with wrapping paper tubes.”

“Docas does sound sick.” You muttered. James cheered.

“See we can go out for real, Regulus you do the planning this time.” Regulus nodded at James.

“I actually really like planning, I wish I had my joural. I would’ve taken notes.” Regulus sadly muttered. Once you were back home, Elliot passed out on the couch. You smiled at him clutching his car to his chest. You were excited for Regulus to call you and start his planning process.

stink bomb kisses

Astarion x zombie reader

• In the heat of battle astarion brings out a zombie to help his comrades

• you were the zombie brought back ready to defend your new purpose, Astarion!

•After the battle and you surviving Astarion can’t help but adore you. Like a lil puppy that follows him around. It could be because he has someone to control but also just cause why not show off a zombie freind

• you don’t mind, in fact your super smart. Minded you stumble over words or drop your tongue through the rotting holes of your jaw sometimes so you get a bit tongue tied but astarion has been re-educating you on pronunciation with your tongue twister situation.

•Some of you is still there like your brain and your drop dead good looks. Just a bit green and stinky

• sometimes When following Astarion to a camp gathering Gale or well…most of the time it will always be gale who asks “Astarion why are you keeping the damn zombie around?” And Astarion will scoff “Their name is <❤️> and you will respect them. Ain’t that right darling you tell mean ol gale you are a person too. And after looking between the two you let out a little grunt nodding your head to which Astarion crosses his arms and lifts his chin smirking in victory at Gale

• the others were nice though they wanted you to stay far away. The smell was getting pretty~ badddd…but you thought it was fine cause Halsin would make you necklaces. He said “here’s a necklace with mint and eucalyptus. It’ll uh-…give you luck” and you felt so good you gave him a hug. Squeezed so hard the indent of his clothes had been on your soft…decomposing skin for a while

• Astarion though he loves you does not kiss you. He loves his knight so much but not that much. Honestly the relationship between you is seen as a queen and attack dog. But after learning to speak Astarion and you will always have conversations especially when he’s feeling paranoid about Cazador sending people to capture him.

• “awe stink. You have it easy, you’re already dead and well…your you.” He said taking the needle with the black thread and stitching the deep tear in your jaw that was hanging on by a thread your drool dripping out onto the dirt ground under you with soft plops. “I have all these strong freinds but it’s like I’m a huge risk. What if they lose their lives trying to protect me. Maybe I’m putting a burden on everyone.” He chuckled “Weird of me to feel guilty for using people as protection.” He said but looked up at you the way your glossy eyes focused on the night sky above you both. He sighed “Guess I should say I’m sorry for turning you into some zombie lap dog.” He frowned cutting the thread and letting his hands rest in his lap. You looked at him “I’ll always…protect astarion. Alive…or not.” You groaned “Your a good luck star…nobody gets to hurt you.” Astarion just sighs and blows a kiss your way and you do it back the whiff of your rot throwing him off only for a second.

•When astarion falls in love with someone you’re there watching. Seeing the way they kiss and hug….though you only focused on how he was so happy. Finding someone to make him happy and feel safe. More than you ever could. Plus who were you kidding you’re a zombie. It could never work out. You felt your cold still heart break.

• Astarion searched every where for you. He was planning on saying goodbye and getting rid of you. Seeing how slow and unfocused you were during fights recently. He felt you were old and tired to throw in the towel

•Astarion found you just the same when he brought you back. A pile of viscera. Astarion cried for hours he wasn’t able to say goodbye.

•u died of a broken heart.

hiii this is acc brain dump thought of it from something I forgot but yeaaa. Enjoy it I hope you guys mess with my first headcanons post

[anulithots]

Link click yapper here sorry but Im dying to know how many lasts/first did CXS forget/never got to experience again. Like I think that CXS did off himself in the flashback LG has when he got shot so I wonder what changed in that timeline for the ending to change (although the results were the same)

TW for discussions of CXS’s suicide

Oohhh so like what differences there was in this timeline from the last? The things CXS experienced the last time around that he won’t be able to experience in the current timeline for the sake of keeping him alive?

(I am in pain. Also note that plot theories are slightly out of my area of expertise - character and theme analysis - but I’ll try my best!)

Okay so this is partially inspired by @snowpoet123’s amazing fic - three time’s the charm - so I think that CXS doesn’t get to experience becoming close with Lu Guang in this timeline, and there MUST be some things he missed there. Not to say that Lu Guang and CXS aren’t as close in the current timeline because they are close in literally every timeline and every medium they are so queer for each other afjaskdfjasd. (I have a whole essay on the trust between them /exaggeration but not by much). So I imagine that CXS would miss a lot of those ‘firsts’ with Lu Guang like… idk what do normal freinds do… okay nevermind what would these two nuerodivergent sillies do… I imagine they would play a lot of basketball and just hang out before and after a lot before they did the whole ‘moving in together and being business partners thing’ (apologies for my pandering the headache is headaching today).

Like in the current timeline he ‘miraculously appeared in their lives’. So I imagine there would be lots of little misadventures - similar to the chibi shorts - before they trusted each other to such a degree. Paticularly in college and such… and I’ll have to see the yingdu arc to be sure but… hmm I imainge tihngs would be different there as well. And I don’t think it’s needs to be dramatic at all, like it would be wonderous if their first tiem around they are just.. there for each other.

I saw this one headcannon where CXS would speak for Lu Guang if Lu Guang didn’t know what to say (in social situations). And I think it would go both ways tbh. With Lu GUang doing things for CXS if CXS is upset (similar to post-ep 5)

… I feel like I’m not answering this right. mmm i’ll come back to this and add more thoughts… after I nap.

OKay what changed for the timeline to change -

If one goes with the ‘Lu Guang didn’t have powers in the first timeline and CXS passed them to Lu Guang when he died in Lu Guang’s arms (very queer of him)’ theory, then they wouldn’t have had their time travel business in the first timeline. Perhaps CXS went on his own through photos, and one can theorize whether he went back in time for the same purpose of getting information from the photos… because a part of me is like: ‘what if he tried to find his parents?’

But considering that CXS brought up the idea of the time travel business to Lu Guang, one can assume he came up with the idea first… and after sleeping my brain still isn’t working sooo I might come back to this.

But perhaps the time travel business originally was CXS diving into photos on his own, Qiao Ling getting clients, and CXS is still becoming friends with Lu Guang.

Without Lu Guang’s guidance, I do imagine CXS might mess around in time, and wouldn’t know the parameters of what can and can’t happen. ANd perhaps because he went back into time on his own, could not tell anyone and didn’t have much support for how emotionally draining the photos are…. perhaps then he dethatched from the world (See CXS post s1ep5) and did off himself because of that.

Lu Guang is horrified because at this point they’ve gotten very close, and he goes back in time to save him. Ta da ta da!

Thank you for the ask!

(My apologies if this is incoherent, I might write some more on this later!)

You read? Part 2

- Mason mount x reader

summary: You and your girls decided to have a clubbing day out. Funny enough you bump into a familiar face you’ve see before.

Warnings: Swearing,drinking and fluff.

paring: single dad-mason “Mason mount” x female!Reader

You woke up feeling good knowing tonight you would get to go out with your friends ever since holiday and ever since your interaction with mason. All the dates you had been on didn’t go so well and all your friend’s new that. That’s also the whole reason you ended up going clubbing in the first place.

Once again, you were sat there figuring out a perfect dress. You had finally made up your mind on dress and it was final. You couldn’t waste anymore time all your friends were waiting on you already.

once you met up with all of your friend’s you headed inside the club. The same old music blasting, having to walk through a crowd of dancing people just to reach the bar.

Most of your friends were already on their fourth or Fifth drink already. You had said to your self you’d take it easy didn’t want to wake up with the worst hang over of your entire life but you knew one way or another you’d end up having one drink and end up having many more.

____________

The clock had now read 7:30 Most of your friends were already wasted.you were now on your Fifth drink by now probably had more than five.One of your friends Ashley wasnt as drunk was the rest which was good.

Most of your freinds were dancing. You decided to go and freshen up in the bathroom.

You decided to tell Ashley in case she wondered where you had went “hey im going to the bathroom really quick.“ you said with a slight smile

“want me to go with you?“ She smiled back “nah you go and enjoy I'll be back in like a minute or so.“ you responded with a smile and walked to the bathroom.

____________

when you entered the bathroom the music faded. You fixed up your hair and were ready to head back out. You told yourself you'd have one more drink and then ask Ashley to drive you back home with the other girls.

As you walked back your full attention on your phone your phone you accidentally nudged someone knocking whoever's phone out of their hand.

“oh shit! I'm so sorry I wasn't looking!“ you said a lace of worried in your tone. “it's okay you didn't break my phone at least“ whoever responded had a voice you has definitely heard before.

_________

Looking up at whoever you bumped into gave you a shock “Mason!?’’ you said with a surprised tone as you got up and handed his phone back.

“Lexie? Well this took a turn“ he said scratching the back of his head you hadn't talked to mason ever since at the airport and when he spoiled that good book it still struck you that he read?.

“I didn't expect seeing you here...how are you?’’ you said trying to make some kind of small talk to ease up this awkward cconversation“oh yeah i’ve been good how are you?“ he said a small smile on his face.

“I'm good..How's Maisey?“ you said with a smile on your lips “oh she's good! did you come here alone?“ he said sounding a bit curious “oh no came here with some friends what about you didn't take you for a clubbing type“ you said with a smile on your face.

“I could say the same thing pretty lady and again I'm sorry for spoiling that book when we were at the airport“ he said with a slight chuckle “Dont worry apology accepted I guess“ you said with a smile.

“good...Anyways u know you made the best impression on masiey cuz she keeps wondering where the pretty lady from the airport went” he said with a chuckle.

“guess i just make a good impression on everyone!” You say with a laugh causing mason to let out a laugh as-well.

_________

throughout,most of the night you and mason had talked at the bar which then you guys talked and talked and talked until it was time to go home you could see Ashley gesturing to get up and go home now.

“hey it was nice bumping into you mason! but i should get going now.” You said with a smile planted on your face “nice bumping into you too i’ll definitely be telling masiey i bumped into the pretty lady again” He said with a slight laugh causing you to smile.

“Good and don’t you dare spoil another book for ever again!” you said with a fake angry tone causing mason to put his hands up in defeat and laugh “don’t worry they end up together” he said with that same cheeky smile.

“…Are you serious!! How dare you spoil it for me!” you said angry but also trying to bite the smile back “I’m sorry it funny seeing you all mad and that pout you make”he said laughing.

“I’m leaving now! Thanks alot mount!”you said fake angry at him mason just waved and headed back to his group of friends.

________

you got back in your friend Ashley car your other friend’s passed out sleeping in the back “girl what took you so long?” she said sounding curious “nothing i just bumped into someone i knew” you said resting your head on the car window.

“Omg! that cute guy who you were talking to he looked interested in you!” she said with a squeal “Oh shut it! you said with a smile “okay okay just saying” she said with a cheesy smile on her face.

your phone buzzed and as you looked at it was mason number the text message reading.

“Come to masiey birthday party? and i’ll make up for spoiling the book pretty lady.’’

Levi x gn reader

warning~ none

request-open

aot masterlist

Hange wasn’t sure if they should stay or run.

Levi’s room door was open ever so slightly and Hange Bering Hange just wanted a small look inside.

So you can imagine when they find Levi NO a sleeping Levi but that’s not all he was wrapped around your frame his face perfectly slotted in the crock of your neck.

Your arm around his lower back the other intertwined with his.

They had never seen their short friend so peacefully.

Then again Hange never thought they would see the day when shorty would fall for someone.

Taking a closer look at your face the notice you were one of the few captains under Mike leadership, you were quite often sticking to your self rather then being in a larger group of people and often sat alone at meals.

So it was a surprise to yourself when Hange Zoe soon followed by Moblit had decided to sit down in frount of you during breakfast the next morning.

“ hello my dear” they sounded to happy for 6 am.

You just looked at the two your eyes widened a little.

“If you are looking for Levi he is with the commander I think” you said before taking a sip of your tea.

“What no I was looking for you” they smiled their glasses falling down there nose a little.

“ Hange-san I don’t think they want to talk about it”Moblit said for ever the one with a thought of other.

“Soo” they added fully choseinf not to listen to their freind.

“So?” You raised an eyebrow.

"you and Levi” your eye widened ever so slightly.

"me and Levi what?" you question back taking another sip of your tea.

"ohh you know the fact that you two were holding each other in his office last night" the grin smugly making you goan.

"Hange i don't know what you want me to say" your hand draging down your face making the light catch onto your ring.

Hange was quick to take your left hand in their looking it over before looking back up at yourself before looking back at the ring, they did this a few more times to the point you though they were going to hurt their neck.

"You married," they said like it was a secret only they could know.

"yes hange I am married and have been for a few years now," you said slowly taking your hand from theirs, your eyes met Moblits before you saw the realisation in his eyes.

"hange-san don't you have to say good morning to the Titans?" you had never been so thankful for him always being by Change's side.

"your right we do need to do that" they spoke moving to stand up from the table before stoping.

"This isn't over my dear," they said making you laugh.

Late that day you were sitting with Erwin and Levi when Hange walks in you in't bother to look up from your paper work to focused in finishing it as quickly as you can so you could hopefully get some form of sleep that night.

"hey, Levi did you know {y/n} was Married " they spoke with a grin.

Hange was expecting Levi to give a smart-ass repsone but in sted he held up his left hand showing the same silver ring that adorned your left hand.

"h how when you didn't you tell me" they cried out looking between the two of you.

"it isn't a big deal four-eyes"levi spoke passing another paper to Erwin.

"wow not a big deal your sleeping in your office tonight love" you laugh, making Levi look up a soft smile daring to paper upon his face.

"oh yeah is that a freit brat" he quips back.

"now now you two" Erwin laughs it was rare to see Levi let this side of him out.

For the remainder of the night, change made you and Levi, well mainly you tell them the story of how you both met and ended up married.

it was safe to say that you didn't get much sleep that nigh.

I just saw the cod: reaction to stalker post and I just have to say HOW I LOVE IT SO MUCH AND IT’S SO COMFORTING BECAUSE SAME. 💕😔✊ I don’t know if requests are open, but if it isn’t I just want to say I loved your post. However, if it is I would be really interested in a full length piece. Any characters are good for me because the way you’ve written them is really comforting. 💖

Thank you so much! I'm always looking for excuses to write so of course requests are open! Please excuse the fact that this was typed up at 9pm on a work night so it may not be perfect. (Plus autocorrect is on and we're like mortal enemies). I also chose Gaz because honestly I haven't seen any X Reader fics of Gaz and I find that super sad.

Without further ado.

The Watcher

Gaz x Reader

2.4k words

Warnings: Stalking, implied dating, very (and I mean very) little implied sexual relationship

You get some concerning texts and tell your boyfreund Kyle 'Gaz' Garrick about them.

You were always the cool headed one. Unlike Gaz who tended to be impulsive. So when you sat him down one day for a talk he assumed one of two things, you were breaking up with him, or you were dying.

You sat him down on your sectional, body facing him, but eyes on the ground. His heart was breaking at a thousand beats per minute, mind searching every little thing that had happened over the last few months. The moments you took to compose yourself causing the blood to rush in his ears.

"I have something to show you." You broke the silence, pulling out your phone and opening it to a text conversation. Scrolling all the way to the top you hand him the phone in silence. Allowing him to read.

After those first few messages the texted is silent until an hour ago. Where they send a photo of the outside of your apartment.

When Gaz is done reading he jumps off the couch and runs to the nearest window, peering down at the street corner that the photo was taken from.

"I already looked no one was there." You sounded dejected and exhausted. Almost resigned to the fact someone was peering in your windows at 11am.

"WTF baby, why didn't you tell me when you woke up?" It was a good question, every morning when you woke uo you would make time to read and respond to messages. And that was hours ago.

"I thought it was a prank at first. I used to get messages like this all the time before I met you. I figured it was one of my freinds with new number trying to freak me out." You shrugged your shoulders, letting them hang low. You propped your elbows on your knew and layed your forehead in you Palms. Cradling your skull like it suddenly weighed a hundred pounds.

Gaz sat back down on the couch, throwing one arm around you. Grabbing onto your should opposite to him and rubbing it lightly with his thumb. "Hey, hey, it's ok. I don't think I'd know what to think at first either. I'm not trying to blame you." He scratched his stubble with his free hand, thinking. "Is there any chance it's still one of your freinds?"

You shook your head, still cradled in your hands. " I texted everyone, no one fessed up and none if my freinds would go this far for a practical joke."

He made a hmm noise before standing back up. He grabbed your arm and hauled you off the couch. "Come on let's get you in the shower, I think you need a reset."

Dispite being positive and chipper as normal, anger radiated off of Gaz. He was smiling but his eyes were dark and full of hate. You weren't afraid of him, but you also had a feeling that he didn't want you to say no. And anyways, Gaz normally knew what was best for you.

You trailed after him to your shared bathroom, sitting down on the toilet while he got the water to the perfect temperature. "Get in, I'll throw a towel in the dryer for when you get out." You couldn't lie the steam radiating off of the shower was tempting so you stripped and stepped in while he closed the door and left you to your devices.

Most days Gaz would be begging to join you, but today there was none of that. Adding to your feeling of unease. As you washed your hair you heard the dryer start on the other side of the house. Not long after Gaz was on the phone with someone, speaking softly so you couldn't understand him. Although, in the small flat it was impossible to hide the fact that he was talking.

Soon you stepped out, turning the water off, still standing in the shower for a moment while Gaz said his goodbyes. Puttering across the Flat and grabbing the towel before opening the bathroom door. He wrapped you up, hugging you tightly as he did. "It's all going to be ok. Let sit down and watch something for a bit. I hear a new episode came out of your favorite show."

He hated that show. You and Gaz may share many traits, but taste in TV as not one of those. Still he made time to watch every episode with you, even recording them on DVR. He always said DVR was the best way to watch things, he hated streaming services.

You dried off and he gave you a pair of his sweats and a plain white t-shirt before embracing you and falling onto the couch. You laid there for most of the episode. Almost falling asleep with his warmth beside you.

------

You were jolted by a knock at the door. Gaz ran to the door while you huddled at the end of the couch, worried it was your stalker. He swung the door open. Embracing the man on the other side of the door like an old brother. "Brody!" He clapped the man on his back. "Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. Have you lost weight?"

Gaz was always like this around his freinds, all charisma. (Although around people he was interested in romantically? That's something different all together. It was still a miracle he ever managed to pull you. Maybe you just like the awkward charm and bad jokes). The man stepped into your home, grinning from ear to ear and reciprocating Gaz's enthusiasm. He was wearing a policemen's uniform with the hat tucked under his elbow.

"Good to see you old freind. I've got to say I was not expecting a call like this. You always seem to take care of shit on your own, whether we like you to or not."

The police were still bitter that Gaz had left to join the 141. Alot of his freinds were on the force, and it had taken a while for them to be on speaking terms again. It warmed your heart to see that they still answered his call.

... his call. He had called the cops. Without telling you.

You couldn't lie you were a little peeved. But you never would have called yourself. You didn't like the idea of sitting and waiting for some stranger to come to your home, making you relive your worst memories.

The officer walked over to you extending a hand to your huddled position. "Brody Sangster at your service." You took it, shaking it firmly, suddenly hyper aware of your dripping hair and casual clothing.

"Nice to meet you Officer Sangster. Please have a seat." You un-hunched yourself, sitting upright on the far end of the couch, extending a hand to signal him to sit on the other end. Gaz plopped himself in a armchair to your left, holding your hand that dangled over the edge.

"I've heard you've had quite a scare. Care to tell me about it?" He pulled out a small notepad and pen from his breast pocket.

You glanced at Gaz who nodded. "I know it's scary and I know it's sudden but you wouldn't have called on your own."

You sigh and nod. "I know, it's probably for the best. Better to get this out now before it gets worse." You told Brody about the texts and the photo from the unkown number. He nodded as you spoke, asking to see the messages, which you eagerly showed him.

"Thank you for the information, I just have a few more questions if you're willing?" You nod. "Thank you, now have there been any other weird occurrences over the last few days? Cars following you, unknown calls that hang up shortly after, people asking after you to your freinds or coworkers?"

You shake your head, "not that I know of."

He writes "thank you again, one last question. Have you ever had something like this happen before?"

Your eyes go wide and you glance at Gaz before looking back at the officer. You nod slowly.

Gaz sits foreward, "how come you've never told me this?" He looks more concerned than upset.

"I was still in high school then, it never really came up. Plus last I heard he was in prison." A small shake comes to your voice as you remember him.

You had transferred halfway through the year with no freinds to speak of. Everyone at the small town school had formed clicks already without you, so you were left eating lunch alone most days.

You had first noticed him staring at you about a month into the semester. He never seemed to blink when you saw him out of your perefreal, but when you turned your head he suddenly had something more interesting.

You tried to talk to him few times, which turned out to be a massive mistake. He took this olive branch as an entire tree and began to follow you everywhere. Walking you to classes, eating lunch together, studying together, even going as far as to follow you home on multiple occasions.

Honestly you were just happy to have a freind, so you ignored all the red flags. Your next year of high school was better, you made new freinds, excelled in classes and even joined after school clubs. You still hung out with the boy of course, but you had other things to do now too.

He hated that.

Soon you found threatening notes in your book bag and your home vandalized on multiple occasions. It took months to catch him in the act, but afterwards he was quickly kicked from school.

That didn't stop him though. The threats continued and intensified up until you graduated and moved away. He seemed to be in love with you. Taking every chance he had to profess it. It all culminated in his arrest your senior year, when he had attacked your ex boyfreind in a park. Slicing the side of his face open. You had never been so terrified in your life.

"Babe?" Gaz's voice came to you over your own thoughts. "I think the officer has enough, why don't you go lay down?"

You were exhausted and just nodded, dragging yourself off the couch and to the bedroom.

You heard Gaz say a few goodbyes and the door closing and locking (louder than was normal, almost like he was putting on a show). You heard him fiddling with all of the windows for a couple of minutes before he joined you in your bedroom.

He sat on the edge of the bed with a squeak. "Hey babe, I'm sorry about that, I know that was hard. Hopefully they'll catch the guy soon and you won't have to think about him ever again." He began rubbing between your shoulders in slow rhythmic movements.

You rolled over and grabbed his hand kissing his knuckles. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little peeved, but your heart was in the right place. I don't think I would have had the strength to do that myself." You raised the covers inviting him in. He gladly obliged, holding you to his chest as you both settled off to sleep.

------

The next few days were largely uneventful. No new texts or photos, although a box of xhoxolates did show up at the front desk for you, but Gaz had given them the rundown (he had been driving you to work and back everyday) and they had been thrown away immediately.

It was the fifth day when you finally got a call from Brody.

"Hey, I've got some updates for you. Do you have a place to sit?"

You were at home in the kitchen making some tea when he called. You ran into the the living room, putting the phone on speaker. You plopped yourself next to Gaz and slapped him arm a few time so he would pat attention.

"Im sitting now. What do you have to tell me?"

"We caught the guy about 30 minutes ago..." He took a pause looking for words. "Umm... idk how else to say this but he was living in the unit below you. He got out of prison sometime last month and dropped off the radar. Got fake papers and everything."

Your blood ran cold. He was so close this whole time. Gaz took the phone from your hand as you processed what Brody had said. The blood rushing in your ears.

"Thank you officer can you do me one more favor... as a freind?"

Less than a half hour later you were standing in front of a line up of 5 men. Something completely unnecessary as the culprit had fressed up the moment he had been caught.

You and Gaz scanned their faces. #4 was your man.

"Damn he's ugly." Gaz said. A grin on his face. "How the fuck he ever thought he'd pull you is beyond me." You smile tightly still confused by this whole interaction. Gaz continues.  "He looks like a Muppet bred with a kangaroo." You let off a little laugh at this strangely apt quip.

"He does doesn't he."

"Yeah, and look at how he's dressed. Khaki cargo shorts? In this cold? What a douche. I bet he thinks those sunglasses make him real hot too." You laughed louder at this.

"What are we doing here Gaz?" You asked him, the light returning to your eyes after the stress of the last few days.

"Oh I just wanted to know what you were missing out on. And I'm gonna tell you it's not much. Unless your into that crazed history professor on vacation look... you know the ear hair is growing on me I think." He pokes your side making you laugh before turning to the officer at the door. "I think we're done here, thank you."

The woman nods before opening the door. Gaz grabs your hand as you leave.

"See they got him, we don't have to worry. He even violated parole, he's not coming out for a long time." You smile at him.

"Thank you Gaz, I actually feel alot better now."

"I love you so much." He stops and presses his forehead to yours.

"I love you too," you whisper in return.

He straightens back up and smiles at you. "Idk about you but I'm starving, what do you think about Indian?"

"That sounds wonderful."

Post: Gaz pays for you both to break the lease on your shared apartment. You don't mention that it makes you uncomfortable, but he just seems to know it weird you out that he was living below you. He buys a small townhouse, no bigger than your old home, but without any upstairs or downstairs neighbors.

Hellooooo! This is kinda a long post today but it’s a dump of a lot of stuff and some ig ‘backstory’ to one of my friends… Enjoy!

—————————————————

I was meant to go into work today (only volunteering at a charity shop) But i got no sleep last night so i didn’t go 😔 went into town anyways with my mum to get some bits for the house, also got my dad a toblerone bc his birthday is soon!

i got him a wine bottle holder that’s in the shape of a car for his main gift (he wanted it i don’t get the appeal tho). He’s made a little man cave for himself at the house, made his own bar and a pool table that turns into a flat table to play ping pong on (it’s v cool) he also makes all his own wine now???? Not complaining tho, he’s got so many bottles it means i can steal one or two here and there without him noticing :P

Speaking of alcohol, I got invited to go to a party with my friends and their freinds this friday but i said my mum wouldn’t let me go bc i didn’t want to hang around a bunch of people i hardly know, get drunk, and then have to get either a bus home or call my mum whilst drunk and i didn’t want either of them :P

My ex-girlfriend (let’s call her H) has been msging me a lot recently, she wants to meet up in aug when she’s back from a holiday. I don’t reallyyyyyyy want to… I love her (as a friend now) but she’s been pretty rude to my bsf and her bf recently (my bsf ‘S’ Her bf ‘Al’). She told both sides that the other was $hing bc of being in a relationship and how ‘stressful’ it was. Although S has struggled w that before and currently, she was not doing so bc of a relationship, and Al doesn’t and hasn’t????? H is just such a liar honestly, it’s been the same since we first met, she’ll just make shit up: one example of this was when we were in yr9, she told me that a girl in our yr had called me ‘fat and ugly’ so she punched this girl in the face (in front of other people), gave her a black eye, and told her to go to the nurse and say that she’d just walked into a door or fallen over or smth.

Reasons i know this is fake/a fat lie:

1. She supposedly did it in front of others, if this was the case it would be a big thing, my whole yr were pretty close at the time so this story would’ve spread quickly. I never heard anything about it happening.

2. H would not tell me who it was. I was genuinely upset and surprised that someone had said that abt me, and wanted to know who had said that so i could either confront them or just stay clear away from them. She made it into some sort of game, where i had to guess who it was who’d said it. This upset me even more so she told me it was sm1 who i went to primary with. For the rest of the week i scouted out every single person at that school who went to the same primary as me to see if anyone had a black eye or looked injured but no one did.

3. When i asked H about it more recently she told me it was this girl called ‘T’ …. i hadn’t spoken to T since at least yr3 and had never interacted with her in secondary school, why she would care abt what i looked like makes no sense… H also supposedly had a crush on T during yr10, why she would have a crush on a girl she punched in the face i have no idea…

So i doubt that really happened. She also just lies about little stupid things, the sports she plays, the careers she has/had, Apparently she was supposed to play Enid Bingham (the emo one) from stranger things but she turned the roll down bc of school (she would’ve been 11/12 at the time of casting, enid is supposed to be 16/17) (maybe, idk but a lot older than 12) and supposedly she’s been in tons of films and shows but she just doesn’t want to tell anyone what she’s been in…. sureeeee

You should see some of the shit she sends me jesus christ, all of that soppy shit on tt like the ‘This is how i see you’ slideshows that are art pieces, don’t get me wrong it was cute when we were dating, but now that we’re not i find it kinda weird. i should tell her but knowing her she would cause some shite bc of it.

Recently she blocked everyone on our gc for ‘no reason’, S then asked on this gc ‘So you blocked us and made us upset and worried for you for ‘no reason’?’ she got PISSED at this ( copy and pasted from the gc)

‘You don’t get to do that’

‘You don’t get to guilt trip me and make it all about yourself that’s not right’

She wasn’t guilt tripping??? She was upset for a valid reason and worried about you for a valid reason (H has struggled with their MH before as well as $uicidal thoughts ect so people are (RIGHTFULLY) worried when she blocks everyone and drops off the face of the earth for a day!

When i msged her later asking why she blocked everyone she said (copy and pasted again)

‘It’s just so I don’t get careless and start upsetting people cause I’ve been a bit short recently so I’m like punishing myself’

Which sucks don’t get me wrong, i don’t want her to feel as though she has to ‘punish’ herself bc she’s had a short fuse atm (probably bc she’s stressed from gcse season) But how can you say this after doing the exact thing you just said you didn’t want to do?!?!!!! i didn’t respond to that msg bc it just pissed me off seeing it after she had been so rude to S…

(Quick lore dump of me and H’s friend/relationship)

- Became friends in yr9 through two mutual friends

- i had a fat crush on her in yr9 and so did she but we never said anything

- She then dated my bsf and i felt v awkward abt being around them both

- Yr 10 a mutual ‘Friend’ drove us apart

- End of yr10, this ‘Friend’ was a pos who ‘Exiled’ (their words not mine) me and my friend (we’ll call her ‘K’) from our friend group for not hanging out with M (the ‘friend’ for less than 3 days…)

-end of yr 10 Me and H are friends again ‼️‼️‼️

- (yr 11) At S’s house for a sleepover, both drunk and during truth or dare she gets asked by sm1 ‘what’s the longest you’ve ever had a crush on sm1?’ She says just under 3yrs. How long had we been friends? Just under 3 yrs, coinky dink i think not.

- One thursday i do drugs for the first time (in school ik please don’t judge i was going through it) I feel like shit all day, passing out being sick ect but refuse to go home. Next day i stay off bc im coming down and still feel like shit. Sat morning i get a big confession text from her ‘i’ve liked you forever i feel bad hiding it from you i don’t like lying to you’ (but she does…. so often…) later that month we’re dating. It’s awkward. It’s horrible. She never talks to me in person and always avoids me which takes skill bc we go to the same school and are in a lot of the same lessons so???? She wants a ‘break’ bc GCSEs will be stressful, i say ‘let’s just break up then’ bc i was pissed at her for doing it over text rather than to my face, a few gcse’s later me and S are walking around town after an exam and she tells me ‘H really wants to ask you out again and is just wating for exams to be over’ I say ‘ew’ i msg her saying ‘i don’t want to be in a relationship with you again, im saying this now so i don’t have to potentially turn you down face to face in the future’

She says okay i’ll stop

She doesn’t, she keeps on being flirty sending me texts about how much she loves me or misses me (it’s so much worse if she gets drunk) and i try my best to let her down gently each time but she never seems to get the hint.

So yeah!

Now you know a little bit more about me and H :0

I’ll write some more tomorrow but for now i’m going to bed!

Good night anyone reading, i hope you’ve had a great day you deserve it! <3

I've been hiding in this shed for a month now. the only food I have is canned peaches. I don't even like peaches but I'll be damned if I starve to death after all this. everything in here is covered in dust and the wind blows it into my eyes now,making them sting.theres a permanent chill in the air

i haven't had much to do here. it's been awfully quiet.

my only freind,mitch, left a week ago to get supplies and still hasn't returned.i hope she's alright.

the only way I've been keeping myself sane here is thinking back on times before with sam,playing games on the ps72 and playing basketball in my backyard. I smile as i think of it. these memories are bittersweet. I have no clue what happened to him when the uprising started a few years ago.

I've been hiding for 1 month and 2 weeks.

mitch is still not back. I think its safe to say she's either dead or captured. I miss her. I saw some outside today. so i had to hide I. the back corner under a musty old tarp. they eventually passed by

It's been 2 months now.

some robots are patrolling outside now. I've been having to hide alot. it's been dark for so long I'm getting worried ill never see the sun again. my peaches are running out. I have 27 cans left.

its been 3 months now.

I heard a familiar voice today. I'm either going insane or Samuel is out there. I hope to any god that may be left that he is.

its been some time since my last check in

i had to leave my hiding place a few days ago. I raised my arms in surrender and blinked against the harsh morning sun. I hadn't seen it in so long that I almost cried. a single tear made a path on my dirt,dust and blood stained skin.

id heard their gunshots. they now turned them on me. I accepted it. I was going to die.

you know how they say that your life flashes before your eyes before you die? I think they may be right.

i shut my eyes and saw myself hanging out with Samuel in my backyard,going on a road trip with my mom and dad. going on my very first date. my first kiss. the first few months of the uprising. the last few that I'd spent hidden. I hadn't lived long. my 19th birthday was only a few months ago. but I was content that the life I'd lived had been good.

"stop" the loud voice boomed across the empty,barren wasteland that used go be a town. the tears were running freely down my face now. a few made their way to my dry,cracked lips. I felt a cold thumb wipe them away. "lower your guns"

i opened my eyes again to see him standing there. they had been partially modeled after humans. if not with wires poking out in some places and being made of metal. his 'eyes' locked with mine now. I knew there was no emotion in them, robot's didn't love or cry or greive. the remaining humans knew that better than anyone else.

"hello again"

we spent the next few weeks working together. we reminisced about the old days. he had an old ps72 that we played a few games on. I was most shocked to find he was their leader.

is been about a year now.

me and Samuel have been working to preserve life. we have some animals that live in the big facility. he let me start a garden and I had something other than those damned peaches for the first time in months.

we found a few other humans too. only a couple who were left. now there's 5 of us living here. there's Tom, who's about 50.Will and Marie, twins of 15 with lovely chestnut hair,i think marie's goes down to her waist,though she always has it tied back, so you couldnt tell and Rose,a 26 year old from old world france who used to be a dancer apparently. we've started making plans to help others.

Samuel isn't exactly on board. just turning a blind eye to our attempts. I oil up his joints and play some games with him and he's nice to us. Will is a wonderful artist who's been making paintings for people, and marie is awfully good at fitting gears together to make something. Samuel now has a wind up owl on his desk and i have a cat. Tom used to be a carpenter. so he and marie have been helping in repairs. he makes the bits and she fits them. they make a good team.

we all share stories about before. Tom had a wife and a son. both were lost in the uprising. Rose tried to teach us all to dance at one point,we found that surprisingly Tom and Marie were rather okay,but me and Will seemed to both have two left feet. I explained to them my stories. the world in my head where maybe all this never happened and we were all sat at home in bed or watching the TV downstairs.

they all liked the idea.we come up with what we'd be doing in our fantasy world often. Will would be in art school. Marie would be training to become an engineer.Tom would be on his way to work or playing with his son. Rose would be dancing on stage and people would throw roses (ha) at her feet when she finished. I'd be writing again. at an old computer in my cozy room.

will is brushing Marie's hair and trying to braid it,rose instructs him,trying to teach him as I write this final 'update'. Tom is reading a book from a long time ago.

we're not quite safe. but we're all alive and okay.thats what really matters. I couldn't have done it without Samuel. if it wasn't for him I think we'd all be dead.

These people are my family now,even if we are a bit shaken and distant.i will do whatever it takes to protect them and whoever else may come along

The year is 3072, most people have robot servants to do their household chores and hard labor. Your robot is named Samuel, and you’ve only ever used him as a buddy to hang out and game with. When the robot uprising starts, Samuel becomes its leader.

uh ok so this memory is old but ill still tell yall. i had like.. one freind for the first 9 years of my life pretty much i was fine with this, she was 2 years older than me so we only ever got to hang out outside of school. but obviously she had freinds cause i guess nobody liked me so she and her Big Kid friends were having a sleepover and i was there too. i wasnt gonna sleep over, it was a fruday so my dad was gonna pick me up. he never showed up though. it was awesome to me... sleep over with like 5 Big Kids i barely know? hell yeah. i was like 8 years old so 10/11 years old was like wao so cool to me. we were fuckin around in her bedroom and the girls (probably not girls anymore. but at the time they all were) were saying shit like "get off my lawn" actin like mean old guys or whatever. anyways the whole core of this atory is me saying "get off my testicles! ^u^" which... where did i hear that word? i have no idea. but they all thought that was funny so i was just like "heh... my gibberish word is funny..." and yah. i only realize this years later

I realise I completely forgot about this for most of the month, but eh, I warned that I would.

Anyway, I'm only posting because I feel like I've just had an epiphany.

One of my new friends (not mentioned in the freinds post) recently put me onto a web comic and after reading episode 103-104 I realised something. I realised where a lot of my feelings of inadequacy come from.

Growing up, a lot of the things I liked to do or wanted to be good at were restricted or discouraged. Playing video games? Limited to 2 hours a day and I barely get that. Singing? Too girly, not allowed to continue. Sports? I was too fat so I wasn't allowed to play with the other kids. Music? Too loud when I practice so I have to stop. Baking? I'm banned from cooking in the kitchen because "I leave it in a big mess". Drawing? Not as important as studying. Being good at doing others' makeup? Also way too girly. Chess? My step granddad was better than me so I was discouraged. Acting? Deemed a waste of time.

Anything I took interest in, I wasn't able to fully develop or do at all, so I ended up with a barely surface level understanding of lots of things. Meanwhile, all of my friends were able to fully explore what they wanted and developed their skills as a result. All of my music freinds? Better than me. All of my theatre friends? Better than me, etc, etc.

Die to not being able to develop any skills in things I liked, I ended up being surrounded by people who were better than me at anything i tried, and it felt bad. It still feels horrible. Couple that with academic gifted kid syndrome and not having many friends, if any at all, you get a big ball of unresolved inner turmoil, self doubt, shame and self hatred. I hate that I can't do as much as anyone around me. I hate that whenever I say I can do something, there's always a freind that can do it better and then I look like I was arrogant by saying I was good at that thing. I don't hate my freinds, I hate me.

So now I'm stuck with the feeling that I can't do anything right, so I don't try anymore. I just give up as soon as there's any difficulty because that means I can't do it.

And whenever people try and console me about it I refuse that they're correct. I've heard it all before and it hasn't worked. Not because the advice doesn't work but because I won't let it. I push people away when they offer me help and then when I tell them to leave, they leave, when I really did want help, I really did want to be better. But I keep being too stupid and pigheaded that I don't let them, and then they get annoyed and leave. Because of me.

I mean hell, the only reason I started this blog is because I don't have anyone to voice these concerns to and if I do, I don't want to bother them or bring down their mood. I made this whole post about needing or wanting help and I can't even ask for it.

God I'm useless.

Or not...

Actually yeah, that's a good point.

I can just use this blog to help with that issue.

I can use this to congratulate myself or whatever whenever I do something good, like asking for help or stopping being so useless. This way I can work on that and push less people away.

I just need to clear my mind, and look at this from another perspective. I need to stop blaming other people and I need to stop making excuses for myself.

If I work on it bit by bit, then maybe I can come out of this on the other side as someone who is actually happy with who they are!

Idk where to start though.

I guess I could start by hanging out with my freinds more? Or maybe I can tell them about the things I thought about in this post? I could even try out getting better at something gradually, like baking, though it is expensive... I mean I could try practicing the drums- or both!

I would have to do this behind my step dad's back though, considering he's the one that banned me from using the kitchen.😑

Anyway, this post turned out to be more therapeutic than anything, thank you for reading my self hating, weirdly self-insuring post! And if no one but me reads this, at least I voiced these feelings rather than containing them- HOLY SHIT THAT'S WHERE I'LL START.

I CAN START BY USING THIS TO VOICE OPINIONS AND FEELINGS SO IM USED TO EXPRESSING THEM.

Anyways, BYYYEEEE.

Ch 1 ghosts of past

It was an invasion in the camp as soon as everyone was ready to rest. They've been caught off guard.

Astarion looked at his friends Gale ,Tav , and Shadowheart, hells even La'zel was on the ground. Where were the others? By now Astarion would've had a flaming arrow explode the fuckers, but something was wrong. Familiar and soon he realized what made his stomach turn, Vampire spawn. Some new faces some familiar. Tav pulled themselves up their great sword in hand as they shook off the wobbliness "Run Astarion! They want you not us. they won't have you." Tav spit a wad of blood on one of the spawn's shoes that charged at them with a mace. "They won't take you; we won't let them." Gale held his shoulder seething casting a magic missle on the spawn that was feasting on him. Why did Astarion feel so sick? So paralyzed. No, he can't let his freinds do all the dirt for him Astarion shot a bow of thunder at the spawn that had already taken a bite of Lazel and when she recomposed herself, she slashed at the enemies.

Everyone was giving it their all, but Astarion noticed Shadowheart was still very hurt he rushed over to her side "What is it? where are you hurt?" He turned shadowheart on her side looking for a wound seeing a bite on her neck for sure a vampire, but it wasn't normal. Almost like a vampire with three sets of fangs. Astarion laid a hand on it and started to heal her, but he felt the hairs on his neck stand a chill his ears twitched something was coming right towards him. Before he could react, he felt his cape pulled launching him back into the chest of someone and pushed right back agaisnt a rock his jaw hitting it making his eyes water and teeth vibrate. The person leaned against him lips next to his ear "This cape suits you, little star" Astarion let out a pained sob when the stranger pushed him harder into the rock "You've strayed too far away from the nest. Now Cazador wants you home. His runaway pet~" Astarion pulled his hands away and kicked the stomach of the person sending them back pulling a dagger out of his shoe "Tell Cazador. To Fuck! Off! I'm not going back. Unless it's to Slaughter him, I'll die before I go back!" The person stood laughing pulling off the cloak the campfire showing their features and it was like the world slowed and closed around Astarion his breathing uneven and he lowered his dagger "Killing you, would be my honor. But it will have to wait." Astarion gasped "y-y/n?" He shook his head It was you; you were the same even after a century just pale and cold. But you're supposed to be dead...actually dead left in a ditch after being feasted on by Cazador but here you are, The gorgeous monk from that night. He was in a daze his mind racing with questions and his throat was in pain growing a lump in the back his eyes watering. You grabbed him by the throat bringing him back to reality throwing him on the ground knocking the wind out of him his body him wheezing trying to take in a breath your knee pushing on his stomach your hand squeezing his throat hearing him yell when your nails dug into his skin. "Ive waited so long to have you here, crush your pretty throat where you regurgitate those loving meaningless words and rip out that damn vile tonuge of yours. i want you fucking dead...but lucky for you Cazador wants you alive. Seems ill have to wait." You said through gritted teeth You raised your right fist ready to knock him out but you got sent to his side with a punch, Astarion felt an arm pull him up for only a second, Karlach pushed Astarion behind her as she looked at you your jaw hanging out of place drool falling on the dirt but you just touched it pushing it into place your cheek was marked in the shape of Karlachs fist it was smoking the burn was intense but you just stood up un bothered "Keep your fucking hands off my freinds! Unless you want another sizzle on your cheek to take home with you!" Karlach yelled obviously raging and breathing heavy "Back off or ill tear you to pieces." Karlach warned. Astarion watched the way you smiled your fangs shining

You had three fangs they looked out of place but that wasn't important. Astarion whispered too himself "They should be dead..." Karlach looked back at him "You know them??" He stayed silent. Karlach turned to him "Astarion answer me-" In a flash you had Karlach impaled on a tree a branch through her leg she screamed your hands holding her down, but she was flaming how were you so calm your hands were being roasted skin dissolving away muscles exposed and it bubbled like gales boiling soup flesh popping and you kept a straight face looking over her your eyes glowed an orange "Hm, Karlach how much time do you have left? That infernal machinery seems like it won't last long." Karlach struggled "How do you know that?!" She was cut off when you pushed the branch with your leg the bark tearing into Karlachs muscle making her sob. "Has star told you about me? No? hm, and here I thought I was special"

Tav had cast a sunbeam with the blood of lathander a young spawn was the target so blood-hungry he neglected his surroundings being caught in the beam making him scream and the other spawn called for you "Y/N!" Your head turned to the scream seeing the boy shielding himself best he could "Help!" Some spawn tried grabbing him the pain being too much their fingers smoking. You hurried over to La'zel dragging you back "Tsk! No you don't!"you spun yourself punching her with multiple blows making her fall on her ass before misty stepping to the boy pulling him out of the beam with no harm done to you. Astarion and everyone watched in horror "The hells?!" Said shadowheart How could you go in the light unharmed, it was supposed to be impossible. You handed the young boy over to the archer spawn who thanked you before facing the group in front of you being immediately met with a blade to your throat by Wyll "Don't move." He warned blade against your jaw you just laughed "Oh come on don't embarrass yourself you're not stronger than me" you laughed looking back at the spawn who stood far behind "Told master not to have them with me...they weren't ready, but he insisted." You sighed "Just hand over the snake and I'll be on my way." Gale scoffed "Hes not going anywhere with you!" Tav stepped up "If you touch him on my life ill fuck you up!" Wyll looked at you stepping back lowering his blade "Enjoy your breaths while you can still take them...leave!" Astarion helped karlach off the tree the best he could without being burned seeing the protective arch his freinds made and the way Halsin in his bear form stood in front of Astarion big and fuzzy foaming at the mouth ready to swallow you whole he felt himself grateful that he ran into these people and for only a second he smiled but he felt deep down begging you to leave not to get yourself hurt even more. But Wyll looked at Tav who nodded and used concentrated blast to blast you into a tree you falling face first into a rock knocking you unconscious.

Yippie yippie yippie so i have more its ready to be posted but please be patient i have to type it all out again...so yea i love you all so much thank you and this is what i was scared to post

@beepersteeper @chaoticgoodstuff and others who were supposed to be waiting for this im so sorry i hope this finds you. sorry it isnt fancy with font and theme dividers. im not a writer - Lagncx

[kalims]

Hii,can i request streamer!childe,xiao,kaeya x online friend reader? (Separate) Like sometimes reader joins them stream and LITERALLY everyone can tell that he's inlove with reader,their fans literally think they look so cute together.

I can already imagine their fans making ship edits of them💀

affettuoso.

fluff, pining, pre-established relationships, modern au, swearing on my writing.

yes of course. you didn't specify so I'll go with a gender neutral reader.

✦ tartaglia.

he uses so many names that it's gonna confuse his new viewers. 😭 ajax? childe? tartaglia? harbinger?? which one is it really? 🤨

his streams are the most chaotic shit you're gonna see, there's like references for everything while there's a love-hate relationship between him and his chat. he's insulting them one second and kindly asking them something 😇😇

his siblings are always barging in his room uninvited while he's live, unintentionally or intentionally 🙆‍♀️ its either tonia telling him that the food is ready, anthon just straight up there to troll him or teucer getting excited about something.

chat laughs at him when this happens.

speaking of people barging in, you so happen to ba a hot topic.

not in the previous way but rather sometimes randomly making donations and saying the most weirdest shit or a fucking lethal weapon 😭😭

"lol no wonder ur freinds have a gc without you"

his face looks so offended "WHAT??"

and it's so funny because he literally lights up so quickly. making a half hearted angry face at the 'you have been killed' text across his screen because he got distracted by your donation playing through

and proceeding to look joyful rather than upset even though you're technically making fun of him. with love ofc ♡

chat goes brrrrr

but in another way. you usually join him when he's playing a game on stream, for example. minecraft.

he tries to put his bed next to you only to spawn into a random area after you destroyed it moments prior to his unfortunate death of drowning. 😍😍 he's whining and gaping at his screen but there's a happy little grin on his face.

he's super competitive so good luck with that, do not stand near lava <33 or else he will push you OR your dog. (most likely the former since he loves dog and claimed yours as his and your child.)

childe + you = lots of screaming.

lots of screaming = more chaos.

but if it's like shooter games you bet he's gonna try to up you.

...or claim that he's gonna protect you.

once again. goodluck.

ah, someone get this man away from tiktok. so far his fans have done a good job at gatekeeping the app away from him because his stans in tiktok are WILDDD and he's gonna be so annoying when he finds out.

but alas, they couldn't hide it any longer 😭😭 someone sent him a link of him in an edit where the perspective zooms on him in a slowed clip immediately smilling after you jokingly told him you'd marry him. (that's kinda too descriptive, we don't talk about that.)

HE JUST USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A MENACE AND MAKE FUN OF THE EDITS 😭😭 not in a rude way but like. "oh wow, didn't know we were so popular 🤭😏"

despite all the chaos the way he displays such raw, binding emotions got the chat tearing up because why can't someone look at them like that

✦ xiao.

I don't even know how to start.

he's kinda mean and finds it weird how his chat calls it hot 😰

at first his chat and followers started filling up when he decides to play with a cam because zamn 🥴 who wouldn't wanna look at that fine piece of meat.

he's usually so quiet that chat ultimately all decide that his social circle is an inside joke and makes fun of his non-existent freinds, which of course is without any ill intent.

so like who the fuck is (username) and why did xiao react like THAT?? he literally freezes and stares at the screen like a fucking cat when the notification of a subscriber appeared?? detective chat go weeeeeww.

his fan base is either the best or the worst, best because some are really fun to hang with and worse because he also has 9 year olds who threaten other people for his ✨love✨.

for an odd reason, he's playing a horror game in roblox. only having loaded in before the system notification PUBLICLY exposes his FREIND. (username) joining the game 😭😭

it's a private server so only his and his 12 freinds are allowed to access it. mainly for collaboration but chat apparently missed ONE person to investigate.

damn not even roblox likes him

xiao: 👁👄👁 knowing full well that he exposed your roblox account and that people are gonna start freinding you.

you don't seen to bothered and the stream carries on to you apologizing profusely before chaos ascends when he shyly asks if you wanted to join him.

chat... is... typing...

some people are just spamming crying emoji's and telling him that they're proud of him finally being social while in another part is yelling "roblox date" with too much heart emoji's.

he does the game so seriously that it looks kinda boring... but he's so fun to slander soooo.

he goes first for you so just thank all the gods out there that he isn't a pussy because you sure are.🥲 (unless...)

he unintentionally rudely remarks that it's a bunch of pixels and it's not real so chat just starts to full up with angry and shocked emotes. xiao's fans??? no no UR fans. they could literally be called (name) defenders.

none but a few fangirls who can't take a joke are on his side. ☺☺

you still dont seem bothered, only saying that he still hasn't changed which makes his chat go like: 🤨 SO THEY DO KNOW EACH OTHER LONGER.

hhhhhhhh

so basically he seems a little more open and expressive around you which is more than enough for his chat so they worship the ground you walk on. 🙉🙊

also, in a way where you could join him on a game. he'd probably give you really rare equipment claiming that he no longer had a need for it 💀💀 NO SHUT UP RANDOM PERSON DONT TELL THAT ITS LITERALLY LEGENDARY.

no.

he absolutely refuses to go on tiktok because the edits of him are.. weird to look at because?? ITS LITERALLY HIM.

you gotta send him the edit YOURSELF or he's not gonna touch anything that has a black screen or picture of himself as a thumbnail because he knows damn well those are edits.

if you send it to him on stream...

he literally turns off his cam AGRESSIVELY while glaring at everything with an embarassed face.

✦ kaeya alberich.

fanservice...?

43% of his streams include shitting on his adopted brother which his fans severely enjoy because the amount of tea he's spilling is astronomical.

"hah, don't even mention his coat. who even wears that thing 29 degrees outside?" to which he's actually right because how does that man put up with the fucking coat everyday. does it even get washed?? -> he has a video about that actually.

diluc doesn't even care at this rate and just ignores him. 🏌‍♂️

ANYWAYS

his stans are a perfect mix of horny and flirty, in a way. they're like his personality.

'cover them up slut' is also an inside joke but he was just staring at the camera suggestively when it was first said.

let's say genshin also somehow exists in this universe.

and let's say you played it before him and posted a highlight in your story mentioning your lack of date for the second time in lantern rite.

GIRL HES LITERALLY SPEEDRUNNING THROUGH THE GAME TO BE YOUR DATE

yeah im serious about that, someone asked why he started a genshin stream and was rushing through the game to make it before the event drops. he simply answered:

"oh. my sweetheart needs a date and I happened to be available, I can't let them spend a special day alone. can't I?"

what

lowkey tho, the genshin players in his chat just had a cold slap on the face that they were still single because that's literally so fucking romantic. even if he's aware of it or not. AND LIKE?? ME WHEN???

timeskipping after he's reached adventure rank 16 he immediately asks you to join him since he oh so desperately needs help.

in all honesty he didn't really hit off with the game, preferring to do chill streams rather than gaming ones but he does make enough time for it to please his viewers as well as you.

..anyways.

once made you sit down somewhere before his characfer disappeared off to somewhere, only to return a few moments later and sitting down next to yours just right when fireworks start to explore the sky.

... the moment of solitude is ruined when he starts spouting lines in the chat box. /hj

did I mention he flirts with the people he joins for co-op.

oh boy

the edits of him. are really good... like.... really good.

but when someone in chat pastes a link he always checks, got rickrolled like 3 times in a row and still does it.

suprise suprise, he gets to see an edit of him looking like a lovesick fool when you say something that seems to have made his heart skip a beat.

BUT HES SO SMOOTH

so no one outwit him yet.

"lisa was right, this must be the sensation of a shocking love.."

...he was prolly in a drama club..

yeah bye

[brewing-mischief]

I think remember in the show that Jack mentioned the ecto-acne really killed Vlad street cred, as if Vlad kept going to class and trying to socialize.

Personally one of the horrors I thought of is Vlad going back to the college cause the hospital couldn't find him to be contagious and Jack/Maddie straight up ditching him because in the week he was at the hospital they started dating and are now completely involved/focused on eachother

OR

Jack -makes fun of Harriet Chin as a grown adult oblivious how his comments are hurtful-Fenton makes awful jokes at Vlad's expense or hangs out with people that bully Vlad like everything is fine until Vlad has enough of his best friend treating him like trash and leaves. Which finally makes Jack realise what hes done.

Like, just imagine it.

Jack-oblivious to social cues-Fenton.just cracking jokes or stating obvious things . Vlad mentions how he wanted o talk to a girl from his class and she keeps avoiding him...

"Well of course she does! You look like a pepperoni pizza! She was probably disgusted by your incredibly greezy boils!"

*slaps Vlad on the back happily as he walks away*

"...right..."

Or if Jack gets invited to a college party but is told not to invite Vlad cause the others find him gross...

"Heading out V-Man! Party at John's tongiht!!"

"Oh! Let me grab my keys :)"

"No can do buddy. They said your not invited on account of you being a disgusting freak! Bye!!!"

"...oh."

Like Vlad KNOWS Jack. He knows his best freind is a little, socially blind. And probably doesn't mean all the harm he's been doing. But it's just getting too much. It's getting isolating. He already faces jeers from his classmates but now he has to face it in his own apartment??? But he can handle it. He's Vlad Masters. Who cares that Jack hasnt apologized yet. EvenOnce. He probably forgot. Thats not insulting. Ruin a man's life, date the girl he had a crush on and just COMPLETELY FORGET your part in all of it. It's fine. It's fine. At least they're all still freinds. At least he still as them. Hes not completely alone. And Maddie does her best to keep Jackin check when she can. And she always looks awkward when Jack makes his 'jokes' at Vlad's expense or sides with people insulting him...but it's fine. Really.

And then, one day. Mabye its one of the worst days for Vlad. When it's just been going on for too long or his professor said something insulting to him because of his new look or the Hospital called to tell him they needed him back for more tests, or his peers just really ganged up on the jeers today and jack...cracks another joke

And Vlad has had enough. He's ready to curse Jack out. To yell. Let him really REALLY have it- but before he can, theres a snort of laughter. The sound of someone instinctively laughing before trying to cover it up. And its Maddie.

The betrayal. Vlad is just standing there in shock. He had accepted his freindship with Jack had breaking over the past couple weeks. Accepted Jack didnt have his back, but Maddie??? Maddie? The one sane person on the campus who was suppose to understand him and see him and NOT be awful to him? Her??

Jack is thrilled he got Maddie to laugh and is trying to get more laughter out of her. And Vlad just focuses all his hatred on Jack. Because this is HIS fault. Its HIS fault he's like this. HIS fault the student body wont leave him alone. His fault he's not accepted anymore. HIS fault Maddie...he corrupted her. It's all HIS fault.

That night, Vlad leaves. He packs everything up in silence, and phases everything out with his ghost powers. Jack wakes up the next day to an apartment empty of Vlad.

Jack gets nervous, where's Vlad? Management didnt approve an early check out, why hasnt he called? Or left a note? Golly, do you think he was hurt? Kidnapped?!

Jack is ranting about his worries to a friend group and one of them makes a nasty comment like " what do you care? I'd be glad that freak face is gone. No longer spreading his gross germs on everything"

And jack is shocked "THATS MY FRIEND! DONT TALK ABOUT HIM THAT WAY!"

And the group is taken back "...why not?havent you been making comments like that since he got out of the hospital?"

And that's when it hits Jack. Right there on the picnic bench in front of a group of people who have been talking nasty about his best freind just EXACTLY what he had done.

"Oh no."

I think it explains a lot why Vlad hates Jack, why he give Maddie a pass, why Jack could never bring himself to reach out to Vlad. Cause if your best freind had to sneak out in the middle of the night to get AWAY from YOU, would you feel entitled to chase them down when you found out why they left? I wouldnt. I'd stay away until they reached out to me.

But that's just my terrible theory.

Poll time! What's your personal headcanon for the proto-portal accident?

Do you believe that Jack and Maddie felt guilty or thought that Vlad was mad at them and that's why they never visited him in the hospital?

Or do you think that they actually did try to visit him, but weren't allowed in the hospital due to how contagious and unknown the ecto-acne disease was, and Vlad just didn't know about their attempts at visiting? Or they tried to visit but Vlad wouldn't let them in because he was mad at them at the time (and then got mad they didn't reach out later)?
