Fic: Still Waters Summary: Belle and Gold are once again jumped into alternative consciousnesses, this time one of them is a Celtic warrior playing out an ancient curse, but to Belle and Rumple, there is something strangely familiar in the way it progresses.

Last two words: A loophole

[geraskierfanficprompts]

Prompt 131

Jasker is a dragon, sure. But he prefers his human form. He prefers pretty clothing and lutes over his scales and wings. He hasn't a hoard yet. He thinks. He's never truly cared for gold, though he knows that not all dragons have hoards of gold. That's just the default. What if he did have a hoard, and it just wasn't some boring old gold pieces? At first he thought his hoard must be his many exuberant outfits, but when he got into a scuffle and one outfit was ruined, he was disappointed but that was it. There was no anguish, no mourning, no big depressive meltdown over it's destruction... So probably not a hoard. Just an interest. He then thought it must be his songs. But when he heard a bard in some town playing one of his songs, he didn't erupt into scales and roars. He didn't burn down a city. He didn't even rip out his hair or anything. He wasn't even mad. He thinks you'd be more possessive and jealous over a hoard. He was mostly proud. The bard said it was a song he didn't write, he said it was by Jaskier, and he sang it quite well. But even if he didn't do any of those things, Jaskier would be mad, sure, maybe even mad, but never MAD. He thought of lovers being his hoard, but the thought went away very quickly. None of his lovers stay, and though it stings sometimes, he thinks he'd be flinging himself off a cliff if a treasure of his hoard literally got up and walked away from him. And then one day he meets a Witcher. The witcher looks at him with these piercing golden eyes, and Jaskier feels an audible shift in his soul, his being. He found it. His treasure. Maybe witchers are his hoard, and Geralt is just his first one. Maybe his hoard is just friends he meets. He doesn't know, all he knows is that he can't stop himself from staring at the gold of Geralt's eyes. Perhaps Jaskier does care for gold.

Okay, I'll be honest that when I first saw Peter/Ned tag in your fic, I thought it was a mistake, mostly because this is new to me.

But as a self-proclaimed multi-shipper who likes to see all kinds of dynamics, I'm interested in what they can become so keep it up!

(It definitely doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I love friends to lovers trope.. Nope, not at all!)

friends to lovers is such a superior trope and i have been hooked on it since i was but an itty bitty child reading my little stories,,,, like oh??? you mean they know so much about each other in ways that no one else could quite get???? you mean they picked each other???? they have inside jokes and have had sleepovers and movie marathons???? they learn to love based on an already preestablished care for each other that had no other motive other than 'this is my person'????

i eat it up every time

If only I had grey, green, black, brown, yellow eyes; I would stay at home and do something. It’s not that I am curious. On the contrary, I am bored but it’s my duty to be attentive, I am needed by things as the sky must be above the earth.

It’s Tradition, an Eddie Munson Blurb💚

A/N: I love the movie Leap Year and this has been sitting in my mind all day so enjoy✨

“Neither of you are Irish.” You ignore Steve’s comment as you dig around in your dresser in search of a very important box.

“You don’t have to be Irish to take part in this tradition Steve.” You respond making him just roll his eyes as he gets comfortable on the edge of your bed. “I know it’s in here somewhere.” You mumble to yourself as you feel around in the back of the drawer that holds your undergarments.

“This has the potential to end badly you know that right?” You let out a huff as you stand up and turn so you can face your bestfriend as he grabs your stuffed rabbit that you’ve have since middle school and begins messing with its floppy ears.

“I’m aware this could end with me on the floor of your bedroom crying my eyes out but that’s a risk I’m willing to take.” Steve lets out a sigh of defeat before tossing your rabbit to the side so he can stand up.

“Well if you’re going to propose to someone you can’t do it looking like shit so come on,” you smile as he walks past you and into your closet. “We’ve got work to do.” You go back to digging around in your underwear drawer in search of the box that holds a special ring while Steve busies himself with finding you an outfit.

“You look great.” Steve gives you a reassuring smile a few hours later as he puts his car in park in front of Eddie Munson’s trailer. “If it goes south just call me and I’ll meet you at the corner okay?” You just nod as you try to calm your nerves.

“Thanks Steve.” You lean over and give his cheek a sweet kiss before you get out of the car.

“Good luck!” He shouts before he pulls away as you turn and head for the front door of Eddie’s house.

“You can do this.” You whisper to yourself as you walk up the creaky steps of his porch. “The worst thing he can say is no.” You add as you smooth out the shirt Steve picked for you that has green hearts all over it, you reach down and feel for the box inside the side pocket of the black vest he picked because he said it went with the black jeans you had already had your mind set on wearing. “Should I knock or ring the doorbell?” You ask yourself as you finally reach his front door.

“You know how I feel about knocking and no one has ever used the doorbell.” You jump at the sound of Eddie’s voice making him laugh as he gets up off the beat up couch he keeps on his porch.

“It’s for strangers who don’t know to just walk in.” You explain as you watch him smile as he takes a few steps closer to you.

“Exactly.” You smile back at him as he stands just a foot in front of you. “Not to be an asshole but did we have plans today that I forgot about?” You can’t help but laugh at how he’s rubbing at the back of his neck with one of his hands as he asks letting you in on the fact he’s embarrassed at the idea of forgetting plans he made with you.

“Can’t I just come surprise one of my friends with the pleasure of my company?” This makes him laugh as he pulls you in for a hug.

“Wayne’s gonna be pissed he missed you.” He mumbles into your hair as you wrap your arms around him to make the hug last a few moments longer. “Wanna come inside or did you need to finish the conversation you were having with yourself first?” He teases as he pulls away allowing him to see you roll your eyes.

“Actually there is something I’d like to say before we go in.” Eddie just nods in response as you drop your arms from around him and take a step backwards making him raise an eyebrow. “Uhm well,” you clear your throat as you reach into your vest pocket and pull out the ring box. “So today is uh Leap Day and I’m not sure if you know this but in Ireland it’s a day that-”

“What’s that? What are you doing?”

“Don’t interrupt please.” You state as you slowly get down on one knee in front of Eddie making his eyes go as wide as they can without being painful. “Uh so like I was saying today women are uhm allowed to propose to their boyfriends or whomever it’s a tradition so I figured I’d take this as an opportunity to tell you that I’m in love with you.” You let out a shaky breath as you finally look up at Eddie with the ring box open in your hands. “I’ve loved you for a while now…I can tell you the exact moment if you want? It was last year when we went to see the new Scream movie and you held my hand the whole time and fed me popcorn because I was too afraid to open my eyes…that sounds dumb saying it out loud but that’s just when I knew the feeling in my chest wasn’t going away and it wasn’t just a crush because you’re cute and nice it was…something more and I know this is an absurd thing to ask because we haven’t even been on a date or discussed how we feel about each other…but I was just wondering if you’d maybe wanna marry me?” Yours hands are shaking as you reach your arms out so he can get a better look at the shiny gold band inside the old beat up box.

“Holy shit.” Is all he can say as he looks at the ring and then looks at you and that’s the moment he watches your eyes get glossy as they fill with tears. “I uhm-”

“I’m such an idiot.” Your words are rushed as you lowers your arms and stand up. “I’m sorry just act like this didn’t happen.” You close the ring box but before you can put it back in your pocket and turn away you feel a hand on your wrist.

“I’ll marry you.” Your mouth drops open as Eddie gently takes the box out of your trembling hands. “I’m in love with you too.” You look up at him as he looks down at the ring in the box. “I uh have loved you ever since you spilled ice cream in the back of my van last summer and somehow in the process of cleaning it you just made it worst and it still smells like mint mixed with bleach when it gets hot.” You smile at the memory because he just spent the whole time laughing at your sad attempts to clean the mess. “I’ve always known you were perfect for me because you’re awesomely weird and I know you’re a little quirky but I never imagined you to be the getting on one knee on my front porch asking me to marry you because of an Irish tradition kinda quirky but…I love it….I love you.”You feel the tears running down your face as Eddie hands you the gold band and places the ring box in the back pocket of his jeans.

“You’ll marry me?” You ask making Eddie just chuckle as he nods his head. “Like for real? Or are you just saying that so I’ll stop crying because honestly I’m not sure when these tears are going to stop so you can say no if you want.”Eddie playfully rolls his eyes as he gently places both hands on your cheeks so he can cup your face and before another word can come out of your mouth his lips are on yours in a sweet kiss.

“This is the part where you put the ring on my finger.” He jokes as he pulls away and drops his right hand from your face. You smile and sniffle a little bit as you slowly slide the gold band onto his ring finger.

“Does this mean you take my last name?” Eddie just laughs as he pulls you in for another kiss but this time you wrap your arms around his neck pulling him closer to you.

Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach) - Extra

“Ichigo.”

You smiled and he nodded as you walked over to him, holding a grocery bag.

It’s not uncommon that he’s here. His part time job is close to where you live, and his apartment is a little ways further. So times like this the both of you do run into each other on your way back.

“Would you like to stay for dinner?”

He looks away.

“Sure.”

You giggle to yourself as you both continue walking down the street. It’s been pretty quiet, and you suppose he prefers it. More often than not he’s yelling at you for running in head first. Although if you recall correctly, Rukia told you that Ichigo was the one who tended to go into battle without so much as a strategy.

Talk about pot calling the kettle black.

By the time you make it home, you’re slipping your shoes off and moving into the kitchen. It takes a while to prepare the meal, and Ichigo waits patiently, watching as you move round the room.

Something Kisuke had said to him is running through his head.

“Do you suppose that her abilities were a product of her parents?”

Ichigo’s head lowered.

“I’m not sure. They’re gone.”

“I see. I guess it’s good that she met you then, Ichigo.”

Kisuke was wearing a grin when he said it.

He’d learned a long time ago not to take stuff that pesky shopkeeper said too seriously, but on the inside, he wonders if you’re indeed happy that you met him. Because he’s been having a hard time thinking about much since he’s met you.

It’s a bit frustrating.

“Food is ready!!”

Your little cheer pulled his focus, and he just brushed off the thoughts as you served the food and took a seat. The meal is a needed distraction. He knows he should say something, but he’s not sure what to say. There’s so much he wants to ask, but it doesn’t feel like his place, or maybe that’s the excuse that keeps him comfortable.

“You’ve been really quiet Ichigo, something I should know about?”

You were wearing a smile and Ichigo was still wearing a frown as he continued to eat quietly. You just give a laugh. You know he’s been coming by more often just to keep you company. Since he found out you live on your own, he’s been like a puppy.

It’s sort of sweet.

“Thanks for the food.”

He placed the bowl down and you nod.

“Of course.”

You stand, taking the empty dishes as you move to the sink.

“Ichigo, I already told you, there’s no need to keep coming over because you’re worried. I’ve been on my own for over seven years now. Plus I have all of you. I don’t want to be a bother.”

Placing the dishes down, you hear his chair scrape against the ground as he rises from his seat. His footsteps are approaching and you turn to reassure him, but he’s much closer than you anticipated.

“That’s not the only reason that I come over.”

His statement makes you freeze in place, eyes trembling when you take in the look he’s now wearing. It isn’t an expression you’re used to.

“I-Ichigo you-”

His hands come down at the sides of you, and your cheeks turn red.

“Do you want me to stop coming by?”

The question makes you swallow.

“I-I..”

How do you answer the question? Your thoughts are jumbled. If you were expecting something, it wasn’t this. Your uncertainty makes him hesitant. His eyes lower, and he takes a step back.

“Sorry.”

He doesn’t say anything else, just turns and starts walking away. Your heart is still hammering, but the sight of his retreating form is a bit scary. You don’t want him to go.

“W-Wait!”

You rush forward and the uncalculated steps make you stumble. When he hears your yell of surprise, he turns on instinct, reaching for you. The collision makes you crash into him and you both hit the floor with a thud. You groan, and Ichigo is letting out similar sounds of pain. When he gathers himself, he looks up to inspect you for injury.

“Are you okay?”

You shift slightly, and once again, the space between the both of you is almost nonexistent. Your eyes grow wide, and when he notices the same, his breath hitches. You’re so close that he can almost feel your soft breaths. Your eyes show a bit of surprise and maybe, maybe even…

He curses internally, looking away as he’s mentally scolding himself.

“I need to apologize.”

About before for starters. It’s clear that he’d startled you, and the last thing he wants is for you to be uncomfortable around him. He can’t imagine you wearing anything but a smile when you look at him, he doesn’t want to imagine it.

“I..I didn’t mean to back you into a corner.”

He mumbles.

His eyes are directed elsewhere.

Your cheeks are still quite flushed, but you have to admit that having him look at you that way, it was unexpected, but very nice. You gulp, working up the nerve.

“Do you…do you come by so often because you like to see me, Ichigo?”

The last thing he expects you to ask is that, and when he turns back to look at you, he’s about to vehemently deny it, but when he sees that hopeful look in your eyes, he all but swallows his tongue.

“I..I…”

He’s stammering, and you lean closer to urge a response, but it’s making the matter worse.

“C-Could you stop getting so close!!”

He lifts his hand to put some distance between the both of you, but you take his wrist and press it to your chest.

His face heats up.

“W-What the hell are you doing!!”

He’s about to yell at you for making such a clearly reckless and quite tempting move, but when he feels the excessive thumping beneath his palm, his expression evens out. Your lips are quivering, and you look so vulnerable, yet taken with the idea that he might feel even a piece of what you do right now.

His expression grows soft, and when you release his hand, he can tell you’re about to explain yourself, but he doesn’t give you a chance to. His hand slips into your hair as he pulls you in. You squeak as you’re drawn in for a kiss. He can feel the slight tremble of your hands.

It’s obvious the action had caught you off guard. But now that you’re both chest to chest, he can feel your heartbeat much more clearly, and it’s going twice as fast as before. He blushed despite himself, deepening the kiss, and you reciprocate, a small sound of content echoing in the space.

He was foolish to think he could play it off, or try and act like it was a mistake on his part. He’s wanted to hold you like this for a while now.

Those few fleeting seconds end far too soon. You pull back slightly, lips parted, eyes holding so much care as you admire him above. He smiles, and your hands smoothen against his chest, your blush still present.

“Do you..want to come over again tomorrow..”

You ask a bit meekly, clearly still flustered from the kiss. He has to admit that this side of you is cute.

“I’d like that.”

You nod bashfully, burying your face in his chest as he chuckles, running a hand behind your head.

It seems there are ways to curve your hyper nature. He’s looking forward to urging more of those expressions.

The Case of the Lover's Leap....

Tired of listening to this woman lie, Perry is relentless in his redirect. He breaks her down, piece by piece, until she can't take it anymore.

The judge allows a recess for her to get her emotions under control and to sober up from the many, many tranquilizers that she took in an attempt to remain calm in the courtroom. As you can see, it didn't work out very well for her. Hamilton admits that Perry accomplished what he couldn't do in three days in one cross examination in court.

Then, Perry and Hamilton join forces to find the truth. And find the truth they do!! I love those guys!! 😁😍

The police break into the room just in time to prevent another murder and arrest the guilty party!! Don't you just love it when a plan comes together!! Oh wait, that's another show for another post 😉😁

Anna had quite an eventful, soggy trip to Ireland and didn't even manage to make it to Dublin, landing in the middle of nowhere, only to be greeted by Declan, the most unwelcoming, obnoxious, surly, sarky pub landlord in the land.

He also has a complete downer on Dublin (it's full of cheats) and wouldn't take Anna there for... 500 Euros.

This nicely sets up romcom trope no 1, "Enemies to Lovers" ✅️

However, I forgive Declan. He might be a grumpy sod but these green eyes, wild curls and the pen chewing are oof. Yes, I am shallow.

For you @hancfubuki, I officially add Love and Deepspace MC to my roster.

I need to name her...

芯恢 Xin Hui

芯: Core, lamp wick. It has the character for 'heart' in it.

恢: To recover/restore (something to it's original state), vast/expansive, broad (minded).

To recover one's core (heart).

Instead of basing her name on the LIs (as tempting as that is), I'm thinking of what grandma must've thought as she decided to defect and raise these two children. Maybe she wants mc to restore her sense of self without forgetting anymore, live a full life as herself, and no longer just a test subject that repeatedly dies for other's selfishness. But also a hope for Caleb, watching her grow up and seeing a representation of healing and restoring normalcy in their life.

Her name sounds the same as Xavier's? Yes, I noticed AFTER I drafted this post made her name. I cannot bring myself to make her a new name and listen... Xin Hui is a pretty common name (just not in this inflection). But to just make it clear

沈星回 Shěn XīngHuí (Xavier), very different characters and meaning, even the reading/pinyin is actually different. His name is so easy to write I'm actually jealous X'D It's also cute to imagine those two cuddling and talking about how both of them have similar sounding names, it's fate!! ww Xavier's name means "(a) star returning", MC's means "restoring the core". So, it could be:

{Her heart is restored because her star has returned.}

This is perfect actually but that ended up being way too heavily Xavier coded than I expected X'D My star has left me.... so b s. That quote breaks me. So now it must ret u r n!!! This is our Good Ending era!!!

Also bc ilu I'll think up a non-Asian name... Doing this made me realize their Eng translation version names have quite a bit of Hebrew origin. So far I like, Rene (rebirth/peaceful) or Nadira (rare, unique). Roman letter names are so hard to choose I'm dying...

Leap Year Day Evening 📸

[catboy-jaebeom]

yk, honestly ? Tom giving Addison reassurance, telling her he trusts her ? not dismissing her former lover and her complicated feelings about her former lover's re-emergence ? being secure enough in what they have to have her stay on the project because she wants to ?

mature, healthy relationships in my TV show ?? it's more likely than you'd think !
