______________________

You were doing good.

So good in fact, that when someone asked you how you were, it wasn’t a mundane, somewhat conditioned response of ‘good’ - even if you weren’t. It was a genuine, wholehearted ‘I’m so good’ kind of response you’d hear in some finding the light moment by a protagonist in a movie. You deserved it too, you had been actively trying to find this frame of mind and finally here you were.

You first noticed the change in yourself when you started some new habits in your life. The moment came when you were caught in a drunk-minded deep conversation with one of your best friends.

“Y’know what I need?”

“What?”

“Get on some new shit.”

“You wan’ drugs right now?”

“Nah, nah, nah, not like that. I mean like, in life in general, y’know?”

“Yeah, dude. Same, like... let’s day drink on weekdays too.”

You laughed at her reply, but you remember not saying no. That was something else you were trying to do. Saying yes instead of no.

It’s not that you were necessarily a no person. In fact, you liked to think you were more of a yes person. You were always the friend who was up for anything once upon a time. No matter if it was going to sushi train, spending an afternoon following a Bob Ross tutorial, going axe-throwing, having a Sunday sesh of drinking bottomless margaritas or simply laying in bed and bitching about the people you didn’t like from high school and how boring their lives seemed compared to yours. You were always very friend orientated and you had amazing friends who you always had the most fun with and when that part of your life halted, it effected you more then you realised.

It had stopped by your own choice. You happened to fall in love with one of the most known and beloved male singers of this generation. Harry Styles. At first you kept living normally, but it was only a matter of time before you would get recognised more and more due to being his girlfriend. You didn’t sign up for being a celebrity, it was never your plan and you didn’t consider yourself to be one. But you couldn’t deny that you were known in the Harry Styles fandom for sure. Because of this, you started saying no to a lot more things. It was a sacrifice, but one you were willing to make at the time for the boy who you were so sure was the one.

It was impossible to ignore his status when you two were together and even now when you were not. There was a day when it had been two months and six days since you broke up where you were driving home from work and you were thinking of him. On your lunch break, your co worker who was named Henry was drinking from a mug with a ‘H’ on it. It was the same mug you had bought for Harry when you two were together. And on your way home there was a split second where you thought you saw him at the bus stop. You didn’t though. Of course not, it was just your mind playing a sick trick after you’d been thinking of him so much. Someone of Harry’s fame wouldn’t be able to catch a public bus, especially at peak hour without causing a ruckus. It was easy to miss the good parts and that moment was a slap in the face of reality at how the two of you struggling to be a ‘normal’ couple was a big reason why you broke up.

Two days after that, you spent a week where you swore to hit the ground running each night that week to feel better. The first night was out to dinner, the second was a board game night, the third was visiting your parents, the fourth was an escape room, the fifth was a rooftop bar, and finally came Sunday where you hit the matinee.

That week was exactly what you needed. It was busy as hell, but you wanted it to be. By the end of the week you were exhausted, but in the best possible way. Almost in a way of when you exercise and the release of good endorphins follow. You really felt like the main character in your life again, and when you were reminiscing back on the packed week, it was like a montage in a movie and your favourite songs would’ve been playing as the soundtrack. But then you had a wave of him. One single moment alone, and of course he’d crept into your mind. A simple memory of when you couldn’t decide what movie to watch. You had very different tastes when it came to watching something and Harry in an effort to soothe this over before it became frustrating asked in a dramatised voice,

“Don’t you know that the greatest films of all time were never made?”

At the time you had rolled your eyes and laughed at him. But maybe he was right after all. You missed him again in that moment, you never thought you would have to miss him in that way. When you were together and you missed him because he was away for a work commitment, you could call him up. Now you couldn’t. The the last phone you’d had with him flew to the front of your mind and sadly it was a bitter memory.

“Hi, baby.”

“Hey, H.”

“You okay?”

You sighed.

“That’s a no.”

“Mhm.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Well I’m home again.”

“Go out then, (Y/N). You don’t need to have fomo.” He tried to lighten the mood by saying it like that, you were an extreme fomo sufferer and it was a personal joke within your life and at first he had found it cute and joined in. But it wasn’t simply fomo anymore. You were beginning to become depressed with the downfall of your social life that was once, such a defining aspect of who you are, and one of the reasons you had caught Harry’s attnetion in the first place, he loved your extroverted attitude.

“If I go, I’m gonna’ feel like groups of girls are looking at me and talking about me.”

“I know how that feels.”

“Harry, it’s not the same for me.”

“I know.”

You gave him silence, some sort of this conversation had became pretty repetitive for you two towards the end of your relationship.

“I am sorry you’re feeling like this (Y/N), but I’m not sorry for having my life.” He was getting frustrated, you could hear it in his voice. You were too, but you understood his frustration now, you didn’t then.

“Well, how I was to know that dating you meant this? You never know... never know that dating someone is going to fuck your life up.”

“I fucked your life up?”

“Kinda, yeah.”

He hung up then. It wasn’t pretty due to things only getting rockier. You broke up the day after that call. And fuck, were you devastated. You didn’t have your old life because going out meant feeling like people were looking at you for being Harry Styles’ girlfriend and that would hurt too much knowing you weren’t. Another thing that kept you inside for the most part, was the knowledge that it would only be a matter of time before rumours spread on social media that the two of you had split. And you didn’t even want to think about how it would make you feel to hear people you didn’t know at all whisper about you being his ex. So there you were, without your old life and also without Harry and the new life you had with him.

It fucking sucked.

You waited for him to call, or to show up at your door to display some proclamation of love to get back together. In the first two months you would’ve said yes of course. But unfortunately it happened five months and twenty-eight days after the break up.

You were having a really good night. Harry wasn’t.

You and your sister were at the movies and you had to go to the toilet after ordering the biggest slurpee size and not being able to make it through the movie without needing a pee break. Just after you’d washed your hands your phone rang and you answered without looking at who it was, assuming it would be your sister asking to get some more m&m’s.

“Yeah?”

“Ah..hi. Bad time?” You recognised his voice and swore you felt your heart lurch into your throat. “(Y/N)?” You hadn’t answered him and you had answered the call so quick, he was caught off guard at your abrupt answering of the phone and now complete silence.

“No.. I, I didn’t look who was calling. I thought it was (Y/S/N).”

“Oh, you out?”

“Just to the movies.”

“That’s good.”

“Yeah.”

“Bet you look so pretty, baby.” He was drunk. His compliment did cause that warmth to appear in your heart, but you fought against it.

“Why are you calling, Harry?”

“Miss you...miss you so much.” Tears welled in your eyes, this was all you had wanted months ago. Just not now, not after you’d work so hard to get your life back on track to how you liked it. “Want you back, (Y/N).”

“Stop.”

“No.”

“It’s too late.”

“Why?”

“You had so much time to do this, it isn’t fair you’re doing it now. If you wanted me, you really should’ve showed.”

“I’m-”

You hung up on him and then cried.

You never made it back to into the theatre, instead, your sister came to you in the bathroom, making a joke about if you had gotten diarrhoea. She quickly stopped when she saw your makeup ruined and teary eyes. Immediately becoming concerned and when you explained what had happened, she simply told you,

“If you never bleed, you’re never gonna grow.” And that was all you really needed to hear.

And so bleed you did, figuratively. You thought you had gotten past the crying stage but that call brought on a second wave. Except this time, you were determined to keep up with your found again lifestyle. More often then not you saved the crying for when you were alone. But sometimes, something reminded you of him and you couldn’t help but to become a little teary eyed in public.

One day though, a month and eleven days after that call, the tears weren’t out of complete sadness. You were at your nieces birthday party and the current activity for the children was making balloon figures with those long, skinny balloons. Your attention was on one kid who was seeming to struggle a little and you could quickly see that her balloon was shaping into something not so appropriate for a kids party. It made you laugh and before you gave it a second thought, you snapped a photo and sent it to Harry, due to it reminding you of a memory with him.

“Baby, I don’t think giraffes are meant to look like that.” Harry was laughing at you, the two of you had, had some drinks and after finding a random packet of those bendable balloons in your backpack, you decided on seeing who could make the best animals.

“I know! I can’t figure out how to do it any differently.” Your tone was frustrated. That was your third attempt and it was turning out exactly how the first two had. In the shape of a penis.

“That dirty mind of yours.” He continued to tease you so you hit him with your penis shaped balloon and he quickly picked up the other two to hit you back with them. It wasn’t long until the swats of balloons became grabby hands and you two had some of the best sex you’d ever had.

It was such a fun moment and your eyes did well up slightly, but it was more of a nostalgic feeling. He replied to the photo quickly.

Harry: I want to support you in whatever you do but I can’t support you teaching the only balloon shape you know how to do, to kids.

His reply was funny and you laughed and gave a quick wipe under your eyes before a tear could roll down but your sister caught the movement and gave you a questioning look so you told her,

“It’s alright now.” And she knew exactly what you meant.

You didn’t message him back. That day. And you had to really fight with yourself not to but for the next two nights he was in all of your dreams so that third morning when you woke up and was still half asleep, you messaged him.

(Y/N): I had this dream you were doing cool shit.

Harry: You did? What was I doing?

(Y/N): A bunch of things, it was like I was watching a movie of you.

Harry: How so?

(Y/N): Idk, having all these adventures on your own.

Harry: Anything in particular that stands out?

(Y/N): You met a woman on the internet and took her home.

Harry: It wasn’t you?

(Y/N): No.

Harry: Interesting.

You didn’t reply after that. You thought it would be another light hearted text conversation but something felt weird about it. Yes, you were obviously broken up but you swore there was a shift of some kind.

You tried your best to forget about, you really fucking tried but a few more weeks passed and on a Saturday at 1:33am you were drunk calling him.

“’lo?” It was his ‘I just woke up voice’. And your heart fluttered, he always was a ‘Do Not Disturb’ person when he slept, so this meant your contact was still selected as a favourite.

“Hi.”

“(Y/N)? What time is it?”

“1:33am.”

“You okay?”

“I don’ know.”

“Hm? What do you mean?”

“My life feels out of place...and I’ve been trying real fucking hard to get it back on track.”

“I’m sure if you keep trying-”

“I hate tha’ you’re missing from my life.” You cut him off.

“(Y/N), I think you need to get some sleep.” He could tell you were drunk.

“I know we never painted by the numbers, but like, we were making it count... Right?”

“Right.”

“But it doesn’t mean anything anymore... the greatest loves of all time are over now.” You were so drunk, and speaking a little dramatically but Harry knew you were in a state, so he was being a little patient with you. “Do you miss me, Harry?”

“I do.”

“I miss you, too.”

“But think of all the things you missed when we were together. I don’t want you to stop living your life that you love so much.”

“Yeah, guess so.”

“This is for the best.”

“Do you actually think that?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Do you want to come stay tonight? I miss you a lot in the mornings.” You were getting more tired and Harry could hear it in your voice.

“I can’t.”

“Why?”

“I just can’t, (Y/N).”

“Fine, it’ll just be another day waking up alone.”

“You’re not alone, you’ve got so many people in your life.”

“But not you, anymore.”

“Well, you still do, just not in the same way.”

“But, we were something, don’t you think so?”

“I do think so.... Are you okay, (Y/N)?” Harry asked a second time, he still cared for you so much.

“I think so, I just, can’t stop thinking about what if we had been together in another time... Like, imagine us in the roaring twenties. We’d be so vibrant and throwing parties together... Wishful, too. Tossing pennies in the pool.”

“What would you wish for?” He knew it was wrong to ask this while you were intoxicated but your emotion was flowing onto him even through the phone and he couldn’t help himself but to induldge in your scenario.

“Harry, if my wishes came true, it would’ve been you and me always.” You so unashamedly admitted, and Harry felt guilty then. He was pretty certain you’d wake up in the morning and regret this.

“I think I should go, (Y/N). Let you get some sleep, okay?”

“Yeah, night.” You were exhausted.

“Goodnight.”

The next day your best friend called and once you had told her of your late drunken call to Harry she immediately asked you,

“Now why the fuck would you do that?”

“In my defence... well I have none.”

“Exactly, and my question still stands, why the fuck would you do that?”

“You know me, just can never leave things well enough alone.”

After that call and promising your best friend that you wouldn’t go drunk dialling ex boyfriends again, you really wanted to stick to it. And so you did.

For seven months, there was no contact. And Harry had been laying pretty low so he wasn’t really being talked about and plastered in places so you couldn’t not see his face or hear his name or his songs.

Until news broke of him and his new girlfriend.

It was everywhere and you hated it. You hadn’t even thought of dating someone new. A couple months ago, you and your friend had set up a tinder profile for you but you hadn’t used it at all. You didn’t end things with Harry because you didn’t love him, because you did. So maybe part of you thought that you would get back together eventually, and maybe part of you thought he felt the same.

Apparently not.

The following weekend, you only had a couple drinks when you went out for a friends birthday. Truth being told, ever since seeing photos of Harry simply holding hands with another girl who wasn’t you, you had a pit in your stomach. You didn’t stay out for long, either. It was probably just you being a little anxious but you couldn’t shake the feeling that people were staring at you, and it had been a while since you felt like that and it was not a welcomed feeling.

Once you were home, you persisted and resisted the temptation to call or message Harry, simply to ask him if one thing had been different, would everything be different today? But you did resist and that was something you could celebrate.

Eventually those feelings that came from seeing Harry with his new girlfriend, faded. Partly because you’d done everything in your power to block hearing any news about him, but it was what you needed for your own peace of mind.

But today, you were going to see him, you knew that. And you knew there was a possibility of his new girlfriend also being there. It was a mutual friends engagement party, and maybe you had tried extra hard to look as good as you possibly could due to this knowledge.

You’d brought your best friend as a plus one and she spotted him before you did.

“Don’t turn around, but he’s coming in now.”

“Is she with him?”

“Yeah.” You took in a deep breath at your best friends confirmation of what you’d been worrying over. “He’s just spotted you.”

“Fuck... Does he look like he’s gonna come over?”

“Maybe, he’s talking at the moment.”

Harry was only a 180 twist away from seeing him after no contact for so long, but anxiety overtook any feeling of excitement or temptation. “Let’s move, I’m not ready.”

“We’ll go get a drink.”

The two of you walked off to the bar area and you released a sigh of relief which was followed by a few wet pussy shots to calm your nerves.

As the night continued on, you started to feel more at ease, which was probably from the alcohol but you didn’t care what it came from, as long as you felt better. As far as coming into contact with Harry, you hadn’t yet. You’d spotted the back of him a number of times, but he was always involved in a conversation with someone else.

It was when the engaged couple and their families announced speeches, you’d ended up closer to him then you would have liked. You sat down beside your best friend, only to look slightly to your left and see Harry sitting just to the side of you and a tiny bit forward.

You wished you could’ve said you found this fine and you enjoyed the speeches given by the couple and their family members but you kept allowing your eyes to drift over to him. It was so easy to considering he would have to look over his shoulder to catch you looking. He seemed happy with the rosé flowing with his chosen family.

“Are you okay?” Your best friend whispered to you and you looked back to her with a soft, sad smile.

“Yeah... just would’ve been sweet if it could’ve been me.”

You were so grateful she was there with you and when the final speech was completed with a cheers, the both of you downed your own drinks and then laughed at each other. The laugh of yours that was familiar to someone else in the room and when you felt your vision moving to the left again, you were greeted with Harry’s eyes locking with your own. You weren’t even sure how, but your heart stilled and you watched as he turned his head back to the woman stood beside him to tell her something. She gave him a smile and nodded and you quickly looked at her as she glanced to you, you barely mirrored the smile she offered you because then Harry was making his way towards you.

“Hello, ladies.” He greeted the two of you. Moving to hug your best friend first because you had subconsciously taken a step back when he became too close.

“Hey, Harry.” She greeted him back and you took the brief moment they embraced to glance down and try to quickly regain your composure as best as you could.

It was only a quick timeframe between him hugging your best friend hello to then solely directing his attention to you but at the same time, it seemed like time was in slow motion.

“(Y/N), hi.” He moved to you so easily, and you to him. You were worried about it being awkward but your bodies knew exactly what they were doing when it came to each other. Your arms didn’t bump into each other, rather they so elegantly glided across one another until yours were up and around his shoulders and his were clasped so snugly around your waist.

Fuck, it felt good. It had been so long since you’d seen him, let alone felt him. You were so happy it was a genuine hug, being pressed against him and being held so tight felt so right. “Hi.” You finally returned his greeting, quietly and he pulled you in closer then.

“I’m just gonna head to the bathroom, guys.” Your best friend spoke up and part of you was glad because you weren’t sure you could ever let go of Harry again after being apart for so long. Another part of you wasn’t because it did cause the two of you to break apart and look towards her. You both shared a look, an unspoken ‘are you going to be okay?’ before she walked away after an unspoken confirmation.

When you looked back to Harry, you realised your hand was still gently holding onto this arm and when you noticed he had completely dropped his touch from you, you did the same. “Sorry.” You apologised and held your hands in front of you, but he smiled so warmly at you.

“Don’t be, it’s all good.” He always was so good at making you feel okay.

It was beginning to grow louder where you were with the completion of speeches and the party going back into full swing, so at the same time you both started to suggest finding a different spot.

“Should we-” You both stopped to allow the other to continue but with the double stop you both laughed.

“Let’s go.” Harry continued and so you walked with him in search of a more peaceful spot. After a few steps, you started to grab his hand without even realising why it would be a little problematic to do that right now. “(Y/N)...” He garnered your attention by calling your name and before you could finish filling the gaps between your fingers with his own, he pulled his hand away. His movements weren’t quick or aggressive and he didn’t speak your name with any kind of warning, it was more of a sad tone.

“Sorry.” A second apology was given.

“It’s okay.” He accepted, he wasn’t trying to make you feel uncomfortable.

Eventually, you two found an empty side balcony with a little corner seat to occupy and when you sat down, your knees touched but neither of you made any effort to move to stop the accidental physical connection.

“You look beautiful.” He complimented you so doubtlessly and as your eyes found his again, you swore the stars you saw in them made their way right to your heart to pierce through it. At a different time, you would have slid right beside him and held his face in your hands and kissed him so tenderly. His hands would have effortlessly found their place on your hips and if you were both feeling daring enough, you would have fucked hard and fast right there on that balcony. But he wasn’t yours anymore. Those stars weren’t for you anymore, as much as you wanted them to be. So you couldn’t allow yourself to react how you wanted to.

“Don’t do that, Harry.”

“What?”

“Tell me that and look at me like that. It’s not fair.”

“(Y/N),” He looked away then with a sigh, but you kept your eyes trained on his side profile. “You wanted this.”

“Okay, no.” Immediately, you argued against his words. “This,” He looked back to you then as you waved your hand between you two, “is not what I wanted.”

“Enlighten me, then.” His tone changed, it was slightly angered now.

“Really? Do you really want to dig up that grave another time.”

“I mean, as far I can remember you broke up with me.”

“But not because I didn’t love you or want you or anything like that, though.” You turned more towards him and the contact of your leg against his became more prominent.

“I know... but I’m with someone else now.”

Fuck, that hurt.

“I know.” Your voice cracked and instantly you snapped your head to the side in an effort to hide your teary eyes but he had already spotted them welling up.

“(Y/N),” He placed his hand on your knee and without looking at him you put your hand over his, at first you told yourself you were going to push his hand away, but instead you let your hand simply sit atop his. “Please don’t cry.”

“I’m trying not to.” And you were. Harry could see that and he waited as you took in a few very shaky breaths. It took everything in him to not gather you in his arms and cradle you against him, but he knew that wouldn’t be the right thing to do right now. But with each breath they became more evened out.

After a couple of minutes, you looked back to him while also lifting your hand from his and pushing his hand from your leg. He got the message and removed his grip.

“I swear I’ve actually been really good.” You spoke up and Harry smiled.

“I don’t doubt that.”

As you continued on, you looked away from him. Mindlessly glancing at whatever you could as you tried to explain. “No, really...like, I miss you, yeah, but, I really have been doing good.”

“I believe you.”

“Honestly, I swear I don’t sit around crying all the time.”

“(Y/N),” Instantly you looked back at him. “I know, you don’t have to explain yourself.”

You laughed and so did he.

“It would’ve been fun... wouldn’t it?”

“What?”

“If you would’ve been the one.”

Samuel Grayson x reader where the reader is a soft-spoken, gentle and loving single mom with either a baby or a toddler who moves into Samuel's old apartment while running from an abusive ex? thank you so much!

Samuel Grayson x Reader- New Owner

Warnings: 18+ for abusive themes, gore and death

Words: 2.4k

If only things would have been different, but life doesn't let you know what will happen, because if you knew you would have never gotten into this relationship in the first place. To say the divorce went fine was a big lie, especially since you took full custody of your child.

Your now ex-husband couldn't afford to take care of your son; he was unemployed, plus he was charged with middle violence, not to mention the scandal he caused at the court, so the judge took the best decision.

Moving away from the small town and far away into San Fransisco was a big change not only for you but for your son too, but the good part was that despite being a six-year-old, he could understand the necessity of moving away.

'As long as I am with you, mom, I'm good.' Will told you when you packed the things you need to move.

Now you were at the lobby of the building you were gonna live in, waiting for the administrator to come and hand you the keys to the apartment. It was the cheapest you could find and also not one of these cramped shoe-box-like apartments in dangerous neighbors.

It was actually a pretty big one; a living room with a big kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a dressing-room. At first, you were skeptical of the price, not to mention the building was in central San Fransisco, so it was like winning the Jackpot.

The team of guys started to move the boxes to the apartment, taking the elevator and you saw a man dressed in a grey suit with a red tie, his brown hair slicked back. He noticed you and your son and smiled, walking towards you two.

"Mrs. [Exhusband surname]?" he asked and you frowned at the surname of your ex-husband, a bitter feeling in your throat.

"Not anymore. Just call me [Name]." you replied and the man gave you a sympathetic smile.

"I understand and I am deeply sorry. I am the manager of this building, Mr. Wilson, but feel free to call me Henry." he introduced himself, extending his hand for you to shake.

You gave him an assuring smile and explained that there is nothing to think about the past anymore, that you were looking forward to a neat future and to raise your son peacefully.

"I am sure you will love this apartment. It hasn't really been used that much." Henry spoke as you rid the elevator.

"How so?" you asked, getting curious.

"Oh, you know, most people now are looking for houses on the outskirts of the city. More quiet and away from the chaotic big city lifestyle." He told you, the ding of the elevator announcing your arrival on the floor.

Walking with Will behind Henry down the hallway, you noticed how everything was so quiet, save for an old lady that was wetting her plants by the door. She looked up at you and a terrified look crossed her face as you stopped in front of the door to your apartment.

"What's with the neighbor?" you asked in a quiet whisper, making Henry look at the old woman and you noticed a dark stare into his eyes like he was silently telling her to mind her own business.

"Oh! Dorota is 80 years old and she has been alone for 10 years since her husband died of old age. Don't mind her, she has a habit of starring." Henry explained and ushered you and your son inside, your eyes widening at the scenario.

It was indeed very spacious and modern, not overly filled with furniture, but enough to make it look cozy. The moving crew set the last box on the floor close to the couch, then nodded at you and Henry that they were done.

"So? What do you think? I know pictures aren't that relevant and things aren't the same in reality." Henry began to apologize, but you waved it off.

"No, no! It looks better than I thought and it's very large and I am sure Will is delighted to finally have his own bedroom." you explained and Will's eyes sparkled with joy at the information of having his intimacy.

Henry rubbed his hands together, a big smile on his face, seeing that you and your son were approving of the apartment.

"Sweet! So, it's all settled then?" he asked with a hopeful look into his eyes, and you nodded with a chuckle, seeing Will run through the apartment, gazing at every little detail with curiosity, getting aquatinted with your and his new home.

"That's delightful to hear! I will come back tomorrow so you can sign the contracts and all that paperwork." he explained, walking towards the exit door of the apartment, followed by you close behind.

He turned back towards you, handing you the keys to the apartment with a smile.

"This is now yours... with everything that is inside. Enjoy." he simply said then walked down the hallway of the floor to the elevator, getting inside, the metal doors closing.

After the man disappeared, you moved back inside the apartment, seeing Will gazing out the big full-length wall windows at the city below with excitement.

"Look, Momma! The view is so pretty!" he said with enthusiasm, making you smile and nod, looking at the city with him, happy that you finally started anew after a long time of toxicity, the thoughts of your ex-husband making you shiver and wrap your arms around yourself in an attempt at creating a little protection.

The feeling of someone tugging at the edge of your shirt pulled you out of your thoughts, looking down at Will with a questionable look.

"I'm hungry." he simply stated, and now that he said it, you were pretty hungry yourself. All you have eaten today were some croissants and a cup of coffee.

Nodding, you grasped his hand gently into yours, walking with him to the kitchen, setting him up on the kitchen counter, grateful that you delivered the groceries yesterday here.

"What would you like? Maybe some bacon, sausages, and scrambled eggs?" you asked your son who happily nodded, watching as you started to cook, not before turning the radio on for some music to play into the background.

Everything seemed so perfect, a new home, a new job, you and your son, away from your abusive ex. Everything seemed to fall right into their respective places.

After the food was ready, you served it on two full plates, eating with your son at the table, just listened to music, and having a peaceful earlier dinner. After washing the dishes, you told Will that you will be fondling the clothes and setting them into the closets. Your son nodded, telling you that he will be playing in his room.

While you were arranging your clothes, Will was playing with a remote car in the apartment, running after the toy as he controlled it with the remote in his small hands.

His brows furrowed as the toy car moved out of the apartment on its own; the front door wide open, which was suspicious seeing how you locked it, but the child was more concerned about his precious plaything.

Will was running after the car down the hallways of the last floor, not really paying attention to where he was going until he turned a corner and his gaze fell on a dog at the other end of the hallway. It was a Doberman, gazing back at him, tilting its head to the side, the car stopping at its black paws.

The little boy was ready to take a step forward, when a hand touched his shoulder, making him jump in surprise, turning himself around, and seeing you with a concerned look on your face.

"Sweety... If you want to play outside the apartment, at last, tell me. Don't run off like that." you said, crouching down in front of him, inspecting your son for injuries or bruises, a habit that was born because of your ex-husband.

"Sorry, Mom... I was playing with the car and the dog-" he didn't finish his sentence, because when he pointed to where the canine was, there was no dog at the other end of the hallway.

You sighed and rubbed your forehead.

"If you want a dog, you should have asked...Now that he is no more we can... I mean...." you stumbled over your words, remembering how Will asked one day his father for a dog and your ex just simply slapped his cheek, telling him a straight-up no without so much of an explanation.

Will hugged your legs tightly, gazing up into your eyes with a sad look, knowing what you were thinking.

"Don't be sad.... You know I don't like it when you cry." he whispered and you kissed his forehead, giving him an assuring smile.

"It's alright... Let's just go back. We can watch a movie tonight... Anything you want." you said, turning with him down the hallway and seeing the old lady that you encountered when Henry was presenting you the building.

She gazed at you two with suspicion and a morbid look, her wrinkly, skinny hands trembling. Instinctively, you pulled Will closer to you, the motherly protectiveness coming out.

"It's you... You are staying there.... His place.... He comes.... He is after you." she said in a scratchy raspy voice, making Will hide behind your legs.

Gulping down, you quickly scooped your son into your arms, walking away fast from the old lady, who began to laugh, a sound that made a shiver run down your spine, feeling sick from her words. Running, you quickly entered your apartment with your son into your arms, slamming the door behind you and locking it.

"Momma... What did she mean?" Will asked, his smaller hands clenching your shirt into tiny fists.

"N-Nothing... Don't worry... I won't let anything bad happen to you. I promise." you whispered into his hair, kissing the top of his head, hugging him tightly to your chest, not aware of a pair of golden eyes watching from the dark corners of the apartment.

So far things have been going fine for the following weeks; your working schedule was perfectly put with Will's school program, you left him at school before going to work and picking him up after the working programs, plus it was a bonus you could work extra hours at home.

Will kept telling you about the dog that he kept seeing along the hallways of the building, and you told him that it probably belonged to one of the neighbors.

Now it was weekend which meant you were free; you were currently making some dinner while Will was watching cartoons in the living room, then the doorbell rang, and before you could go and check it yourself, Will beat you to it, only for your eyes to widen when you saw your ex-husband into the doorway, Will obviously taken aback, running to hide behind your legs, the cold stare of the man making your hands tremble at your sides.

"Took me some time to find you. You thought you could get away from me with my son?" he asked, voice gruff and making shivers of disgust run down your spine, although you tried to put on a brave facade, being the overprotective mother.

"We have a restraining order." you told him firmly, wanting for this fiasco to be over, but your ex merely laughed, like you just told him a joke.

"Ya think a piece of paper is gonna keep me away?" he asked, starting to walk towards you.

You quickly told Will to run into his bedroom and lock the door, which the boy was anxious to do, mostly to leave you here with this monster that was supposed to be his father, only the little boy no longer viewed him as such.

The man scoffed, rolling his eyes and stopping in front of you, glaring daggers into your forehead.

"You know... You are starting to piss me off." he grumbled, spitting on your shoes, something he did multiple times, making you swallow the bitter feeling.

"Y-You had your chance... We don't want you... Y-You hurt us." you shuttered out, his dark aura always made you want to run, to hide.

"Please... it was only a slap." he replied.

To be correct there were too many slaps, and not only that, kicks and punches too, not to mention derogatory names that made you feel small and helpless.

Before you could tell him to leave, his hand shot up to grasp your jaw tightly, fingernails digging into the skin of your cheeks, making your eyes water.

"I think I should just get rid of you and get my son back." he whispered, pulling out a switch-blade from his pocket, but before he could use it, a big and black clawed hand shot out from nowhere, talons digging into the shoulder of your ex, making him let you go.

Your eyes widened as did your ex gaze when they landed on a man. No, he was definitely not a man. His height was insane, over 7'0, skin a sickly grey color, spikey jet black hair covering his head, clad in black clothing and his eyes of shining gold and the sclera all black.

Definitely not human.

Your ex stabbed the creature or whatever he was into his shoulder, but the entity didn't even flinch, only gazed where the blade was impaled.

"Who the fuck are you?!" your ex screamed, trying to pry his clawed hands from him.

The creature snarled into his face, black snakes shooting from the sharp-toothed mouth, hissing aggressively, making your ex scream. The scream didn't last long, for the creature ripped his arm straight off like it was nothing, throwing the limb over his shoulder, demonic dogs coming out of his back and chewing on the arm.

Your ex fell to the ground, sounds of agony leaving him, trying to crawl backwards, but the demonic being wasn't done with him, his clawed hands starting to rip him piece by piece, blood following like there was no end, the hellish dogs starting to eat each piece the creature threw at them until your ex simply disappeared.

You couldn't believe what you just witnessed, a choked cry leaving you. In an instant the sound left you pulled on the creature's attention, golden eyes meeting yours.

Before there could be any exchange of words, the sound of your son's voice, pulled your attention.

"Momma... What's happening?" he asked from his bedroom.

Gazing back to the creature, he was gone and any evidence of what happened simply vanished; no blood, no guts, not even a hint that there was any carnage.

Falling to your knees, you finally understood the old lady.

'He is coming.'

I'm sorry but the fact that the Queens have to keep thr most stone cold face during it is so funny like??

"Cause I'm the Queen of the Castle." yes QUEEN GO OFF.

THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY HAD PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH.

my son had to deal with the loss of his mother. oh wow, kinda like how my body had to deal with the loss of its head. Queens, come on now. Can't you see what's happening? Comparing your losses isn't gonna change the fact that I've already won. :)

honestly the entire dialogue before Katherine's roast is HILARIOUS

WHEN ARAGON DID THE LINE ABOUT THE CHICKEN POX AND JANE CAME IN LIKE SOUNDING LIKE SHE WAS WHINING NSIANIW

"oHhhhh, bAbbYy MarRyyY had the CHICKEN POX and yOouu didn't get to hold her hand!! you know it's funny because wHennN I wanted to HoLld MyY nEwborNn SonNn, I DIED." (casually poses)

IM SORRY BUT KAT'S ROASF WAS SO DUNNT.

your lives sounded terrible!!... and your songs.. :)... your songs... your songs REALLY helped to convey that.

I'm sorry but when Kat roasted Anne, I COULD NOT. "divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, behea- oh, nevermind." AND MOCES ON LIKE WHATJ IWMWIWMW

Jane, dying of natural causes... WHEN WILL JUSTICE BE SERVED?? (SHE RAISED HER HANDS AND I STILL FIND THAT FUNNT)

and surviving........... (moves on AND I FOUND THAT FUCKING HILARIOUS LIKE THE LONGSILENCE) Parr looked at Bessie again I think and was like my God she did not..

All jokes aside, being rejected for your looks, that legit sounds really rough. I wouldn't know anything about that. I mean, look at me, I'm really hot.... (She like paused like uh... so uh..) SO ICANT EVEN BEGIN TO THINK OF HOW I COMPETE WITH TOU ALL.. OH WAIT, LIKE THS..

durinf kat's roast, BRITTNEY HAD TO LOOK AWAY BECAUSE SHE JUST COULDNT I

YES BITCH AYWD LETS FUCKING GO..

bro I was so excited for this song like I EAS JUST EXCITED

I think I saw Anna run back on stage probably after a break o.o

NOT THE STONE COLD FACES AGAIN.

I was 13 (innocent voice), going on 30 (regular voice??)

MAJOR TO MINOR, C TO D (IT WASNT AS HARSH LIKE IN SLIME TUTORIAL, BUT IT WAS FUCKING HILADIOUS EITJE WAY.)

SHE DRAGGED THE ASS PART OF ASSISTANT FOR A BIT AND I WAS LIKE OH OH OKAY

"favorite quill" AND SHE OUTS BITH OF HER HANDS ON THE MICBKKE I DIDNT KNOWCWTATBDHE MEWMT.. I KNEW KATHERINE, I KNEW..

CHORUS PART 2 THE DANCING FELT SIMILAR TO LAST TIME SO I DIDNT REALLY NOTICE ANYTHING

I can't rememv34 how she said it, but when she was talking abou5 how th4y employ women to grt them into their private chambers, she sounded a bit tired?? Like of all the men??

"you'll never guess who I met!! tall, large!.. Henry the viii...." LIKE WHEN SHE SAID HENRY'S NAME SHE WEBT SO SERIOUS FOR A MOMENT?

To be honest the dancing was really funky loved it :D

she tries to get their hands off of her :( and then they return :(((

SHE OOOKED SO TIRED OF EVERYTHING DYRING THE 3RD CHORUS LIKE.. KATHERINE HONEY I WILL HUG YOU WIRH TOIR CONDENT VUT

the queens casually close in on katherine

so we got married... woo?

KATHERINE NO HE IS NOT A FRIEND I KNOW YOU WANT ONE BUT-

casually knocks away the hands away :)

he says we have a connec...tion.. (PAUSE FOR THE HANDS AND THE DISAPPOINTMENT AND PAIN. [I THINK SOMEONE LAUGHED LIKE NO GAMERBOSS NO..]) I thought this time was different. Why did I think he'd be different? but IT'S NEVER EVER (THE EMOTION WHEN SHE SAID EVER HUH??) DIFFERENTTTTTTTTTT NOO NO.

BRO KAT SOUNDED LIKE SHE WAS ABOUT TO CRY LIKE SHE LITERALLY HWD TO PAUSE OCCASIONALLY LIKE SHE WAS SOBBING

IN FACT THINK SHE PROBABLY WAS??

PLAYTIME'S OVER.. THE ONLY THING, THE ONLY THING, THE ONLY THING YOU WANNA DO IS MWAH. (BRO SHE SOUJDED LIKE SHE WAS CRYONG WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.)

THE LIGHT ON THE EHAD

she like casually wipes her tears and waits until the applause is over (which takes a while o.o)

...and then I was beheaded :)

Seeing as I won the competition, I want to thank all the men that got me to where I am today. (KAT SOUNDED LIKE SHE HESITATWD FOR A MOMENT??) Couldn't have done it without you. Thank you, New York! Good night! (All the Queens come in right before she ends and like tells them to stop ending the show o.O)

There were four choruses, that's how much sh- I had to deal with. Yeah, yeah, sorry, when you died, your son had to live without a mother. Wait, that was me and no one cared when you died.

It's not her fault no one remembers her bland and uneventful life. :)

Parr looked at Kat for a moment like, "You okay??"

THREE HISTORICALLY CONFIRMED MISTRESSES. OH, YEAH? WELL, WHEN I WAS QUEEN, I HAD NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT THREE MISCARRIAGES!! WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT, ANNE BO-LOSER?? I HAD FIVE MISCARRIAGES!!! SOMEONE HOLD ME BACK- (Anna like walks towards Catalina like bitch woAH CALM DOWN UOLD ON..)

Parr just stands there like uh.. yeah uh.. I'm.. uh

ALSO PARR LWTS FUCKING GO (MY FIRST FSVOTITR QUEEN)

jazz music energy??

Someone in the audience laughed and then Anne went, "hahaha, what?" I find the timing very funny

When Joy said, "wOAH-" when the light shone on her it was really funny o.o

What gets the biggest cheer, trauma or abuse? Woohoo! (yes queen)

"I'M CatHerIne ParR! I dRaW thE liNe in arbItrAry pLacEs!! BLAH, blah blah." KATHERINE JSIAJWOWJWJW (SAM SOUNDED LIKE SHE WAS MOCKING PARR AND WHINING AT THE SAME TIMEBAUWJAKWJ)

All the Queens literally clap while Cathy tries to stop them and they're like, "Yes, Catherine, yes. Congratulations." and then Parr turns to face the audience like, "you see this?? You see this??"

Are you sure, Catherine? Are you sure you're not tired from BACKING VOCALS? (DAMN BIFCH WTF ajJAJSNS THE AUDIENXE ALL WENT OOOOHH... LIKE OH MY GOD KATHERINE JWKAKQ)

Go on Queens, take a seat :)

honestly the Parr dialogue was just so interesting to listen to even though I know it well o.o joy made it interesting :D especially the gold star for Cathy Parr part sinajajw

Tudor womanhood, would recommend. :)

She sounded so disappointed and sad during the part where she talked about Thomas and then how Henry came in

IDNYL STARTING...

SHE SOUNDED SAD AGAIN :(

FEELS SO RIGHT.. IM HOLDING BACK THE TEARS TONIGHT... :((

The singing was... on Parr. (JANE WOULD BE PROUD OF ME FOR THAT ONE.)

but seriously, the singing was amazing

Somehow I had that choice... No holding back I'd raise my voice! I'd say Henry, yeah, it's true, I'll never belong to you! (ARAGON UNCROSSED HER LEGS AND LOOKED AT CATHERINE FOR A MOMENT BEFORE ANNE GOT UP AND EVERYONE STARTED TO AS WELL.)

JANE HESITATED WHILE GETTING UP LIKE HMM SYMBOLISM?

THERES NOTHING YOU CAN DO! I DONT NEED YOUR LOVE, NOO NOOO. (yes queens vibe with Parr yes) I DONT NEED YOUR LOVE, NOO NOOO.

But the thing is I can't say that. Not to the King ;(

So this is goodbye. All my love, Cathy.

YES LETS GO CATHY COME ON

I find that fheees probably some kind of symbolism/metaphor/whatever when she distances herself away from the other Queens to show that she'd rather not have her story aligned with the other Queens and Henry, but would want it to be about HER if you understand. But also because, well, not in the competition

THAT I WAS A WRITER. I WROTE BOOKS AND PSALMS AND MEDITATIONS. YES QUEEN YOU DID!!! ALSO JOY MADE THIS LINE SO EXCITING I THINK??

YES QUEENS HYPE HER UP

I DISAPPEAR ;(

Wait I don't get it? Okay, look, why does anyone remember who we are? MY SIXTH FINGER!! (AND SHE LIKE HELD UP HER OTHER HAND TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A SIXTH FINGER AND I DIDNF KNOW THE ACTORS FKR ANNE (OR MAYVE JUST NICOLE) DID THIS THAT WAS SO FUNNY.) Put it away, babe.

When Cathy asked who Henry the VII wife was, everyone looked at Anne like, "you know bitch??"

We don't know. CATHERINE DE VALOIS!... (And then she pauses and Anna looks at her like, "...girl-") I MEAN- We don't know.

But isn't there a bigger problem?? The dissolutions of the monasteries. No. I'm talking about us. Because as soon as we get together as a group- Everyone notices Jane can't dance! (AND THEN JANE TRIES TO DEFEND HERSELF LIKE, "UHM- HOLD ON, UH-")

THE SIX SOUNDED SO SAD ;(

Oh my God, I get it! Since the only thing we have in common is our husband, grouping us is an inherently comparative act and as such unnecessarily elevates a historical approach ingrained in patriarchal structures. (Anne says it like you're SUPPOSED TO KNOW SHES SMART AND TO BE HONEST, YOU SHOULD /J but honestly it was just really funny.) Yeah. I read.

So, basically, we' re stuck. What a waste of time. I guess there's not much we could do about it now. (And now they scatter across the stage and are just standing there like. Uhm. Hm. Hm . Well. Uh. [I think Parr was just leaning against thr stair thing near Maggie]

I DONTNREMEMBER WHEN BUT IT WAS PROBABLY HERE WHEN AN AUDIENCE MEMBER SHOUTED "SING TOGETHER!!" AND THEN KATHERINE RIGHT AFTER SAID HER LINE ABOUT FIGHTING THE WHOLE SHOW OAIANQ

We could have done like a fake competition, showing us how messed up comparing us is. Then, we could have found some cool way to reclaim our stories or all become the leading ladies. Aw, we could have done it as a song! :(

If only we'd thought of it before.... ;)

SO WE HAD NO CHOICE. BUT NOW ITS ALONE. SO WE GOT NO CHOICE. NO WE GOT NO CHOICE. WE'RE TAKING BACK THE MICROPHONE. IM GONNA RAISE MY VOICE.

YOU NEED TO KNOW!! I DONT NEED YOUR LOVE, NO NOOO. NO I DONT YOUR LOVE!!

PARR'S TURN GET READY

YES JOY GO OFF!!!

NOO I DONT NEED YOUR LOVE.. NOO

YOU CAN GET ON OUT!! YOU CAN WALK ON OUT THE DOOR!!

OH MY GOD THE SINGING AGAIN AHT WUF8CK

NEW YORK, WE HAVE A VOICE!! WE SAID WE HAVE A VOIIICEEE! (i THINK WHE GOT INTERRUPTED BY THE CHEERING SOWUJAA)

Well, actually- Now's not the time, Catherine :)

WOOOO FHE CHEERS

ARE YOU READY FOR A ROYAL HAPPY EVER AFTER??... Well, we don't have one. (that STILL IS so funny to me oh my hod)

They all walk off stage and I'm sitting there like, oh you lying you LYING

Thank you for reading my long writing about SIX because I love it so much, good night (day/evening)!

Note

I just had an evil idea

I was rereading the branches of the Syndicate AU and-

What if the Templars had to “coerce” Henry into making them poisons? And he happened to make some poisons that make the victim go through excruciating pain, but still not die. (ex. Feeling like their bones were melting, they were on fire, they feel like they are being pulled apart, or something but it doesn’t actually happen) imagine the guilt. Imagine the mix of relief, guilt and fear he hears when his siblings are dead and he has an option to work for the Rooks now. Sure he’s free now, but how long until somebody comes along to tie up the loose ends? How long until they feel he needs to be silenced? How long, how long?

Wait

This could segway into a ghost AU really well

Henry becoming a vengeful spirit hellbent on destroying the Templars and avenging himself and the victims of his poisons, anyone?

-🦎

Sorry for the long ask

(Liz, really, don't apologize! It's not that long of an ask, I have had worse and I just love the content and interactions <3<3<3)

Mmm... The angst. Henry leaving Glasgow with his brother in search for a good life in London, Henry gets his education and studies to become a doctor but he sees how his brothers starts getting involved in bad crowds. It does not take long until they are both Templars and Henry tries to stay out of it, but they force him. They say that if he isn't helping them, he is against them, and they have to get rid of people that are against them. They force Henry to join the Templars under the threat that they will kill him and his friends, later on the Society too (maybe that's how Henry even managed to establish it? Because he has connections to Crawford?) but Henry just grows more and more bitter because he is forced to create poisons to hurt innocent? His brothers just becoming more and more ruthless, he has no way of sabotaging the poisons in an attempt to pull himself away because they test them on their own blighters to make sure it actually works, and he knows what they will do if they find out he sabotaged them. Henry barely being able to sleep knowing what he have done, knowing what he has supported, desperately wishing he could go back in time and convince himself and his brothers to never leave Glasgow, blaming himself for what happened towards their family, knowing the brotherly love and relationships they used to have are long since gone and his brothers only see him as a pawn now?

Can you imagine the guilt when he hears the news that his brothers are dead? Can you imagine the guilt when he feels relieved that they are dead, and that he can wash his hands clean off of the whole Templar business? I don't know what would be best; Henry taking his Templar things and finding the Train hideout, dumping them on the floor telling them that he wants to join the Rooks and help them to make up for the things he was forced to do, the Twins barely believing him but Henry has enough to prove that he has done his best to sabotage the Templars, or the Twins hearing that they missed a Jekyll brother and tracks him down to kill him, only to break into his office as he is burning his templar things and the photos of his brothers in the fireplace? Them demanding to know what he is doing, telling him they are going to kill him anyways because he can't hide his tracks? Henry in absolute exhaustion opening his arms and telling them to go ahead, at this point he wouldn't mind it. The twins mock him, asks him if he is so depressed because they have already killed his brothers, Henry telling them he couldn't be more relieved after the things they forced him to do. If they want to kill him, so be it, but he would much rather work for them and help them get rid of all the Templars and make sure they can't hurt anyone else.

Oh my god-- A Templar/Starrick tracking Henry down after hearing his betrayal, killing him, but Henry becomes a ghost and helps the twins fight the Templars even in death? Suddenly explosives randomly explode in Blighter Hideouts, Templars are found smashed and beaten to death beyond recognition, the twins knowing that Henry is dead and yet they still get poison deliveries? Oh my god we really are going full circle with my aus and I love it <3

OH WAIT IMAGINE IF IT IS THE BRANCH WHEN HENRY IS THE ONE TO KILL HIS BROTHERS? Imagine the twins happily recruiting him, Henry feeling bitter and guilty regardless? Fjfjjf

Ropes and Roses part three

Summary: Elizabeth Rosehill is a talented dance instructor and a force of nature that beguiles her famous student. Events in her life, however, have led her to search for more creative ways for her to keep herself afloat. What will she do to keep her dreams secure and what will it mean for her blossoming relationship.

Warning: this passage contains some drunken shenanigans, heavy petting, making out, self deprecating humor, stripping down to ones underwear, sexual frustration, some insecurities, and angst. Oh and the beginning of Elizabeth showing her dominant side. If I missed anything please let me know

Word count: 2500

A/N: If you read it and like it, it would mean a lot to me if you could say something nice!

“And what will the lady be having?” The handsome bartender asked from behind the wooden top.

“Gentleman Jack, two fingers, neat. Please and thank you.” Elizabeth had her face all smooshed up in her hands, cradling her own head, resigning to the feeling of utter defeat. Gregory Chapman had called her and told her that the movie had lost its funding. The promises he made her were now as empty as the glass in front of her. As was her bank account. At least the bartender quickly remedied the empty glass problem. Henry saw her sitting there, her perfect posture was replaced by the pose of someone who wanted to be as small as possible.

“Oh shit, you are taking the news way harder than I thought you would. I also had no idea you liked whiskey.” He saw that her eyes were puffy, she had rubbed the winged eyeliner tip off on one of her eyes. He took the hand closest to him and gave her a gentle squeeze. The best part of having had their lessons was they had grown comfortable with touching each other. He appreciated the intimacy they shared, even if he though it had been platonic on her part. “Cancellations happen pretty often, don’t beat yourself up too much.”

“You were getting so good too.” Her voice came out as a whine, she took a sip of her liquor.

“I was mediocre at best, I just happen to look good while you dance around me.” The gold tinged light above them made her eyes and the drink the same color. Everything about her right then seemed angelic to him, even with her sad expression she glowed. “My only regret is that I won’t get to see you as much. I’ve enjoyed our time together.”

“That is very kind, Henry.” Elizabeth laced her fingers with his. “It was a pleasure to teach you.”

I love how she says my name, he thought. “So, what happens next for you?”

“I have to work harder to try to keep my dance studio open.”

“What do you mean? You have some great teachers, you have full classes.”

“Greg had told me that once he was given the funding he planned on investing in the dance studio with some of his earnings. I’m not sad about the movie being canceled, I’m just sad that this is just one more thing to have gone wrong this year...” she trailed off.

“Want to talk about it?”

“If I start, I will not shut up, I’m sure you don’t want to listen to me bitch and moan for an hour. Don’t you have more important things to be doing?”

“I could listen to you complain all night. Besides, nothing is more important than us getting drunk and possibly finding people to snog with tonight,” he said with the intention of making her laugh, but with a quick look around the pub, it looked like the their options would be limited. “I bet you could charm the pants off that lad at the end there.”

The lad was an older gentleman wearing a newsboy hat and a sweater with patches on the elbow.

“Oh Mr Cavill,” she said in a dreamy, playful voice, “he’s just my type. Do you think he’ll like me?”

“I don’t know Ms Rosehill, you might have to show him a little clevage.”

She pretended to pull the top of her dress down a little, big shit eating grin on her face, “How’s that? Better? Oh please, sir, notice me. Please come tap my ass like a keg!”

The remark caused Henry to choke on his drink. After a deep gasp of air he looked at her incredulously “never mind, you’ll kill the man. Give him a heart attack talking like that.”

The two talked, Elizabeth told him about how earlier that year she had gone through a bitter divorce, her ex had left her with more debt than she would be able to handle by herself and then her mother had passed away. She felt like she was drowning and the first life raft that had been thrown her way was being pulled from her.

“But you know what? I am a pretty damn good swimmer, and my momma didn’t raise no bitch.” She stated. She sat back sagaciously for a moment, “I think that might be the whiskey talking.”

Henry chuckled to himself. They were both a few drinks deep into their conversation and she was feeling it. He paid their tab and took her with him, “Come on, you lightweight, let’s go put some food in you so you don’t black out on me.”

Trying to get the teacher to do anything while she had been drinking was like trying to get a cat to cooperate. Every time they walked for more than a few minutes, she would wonder off some where distracted by anything that caught her attention. He stood there the fourth time when she stopped to look at display of macrons in a window.

“Are you like this every time you drink?”

“No, only when I forget to eat during the day before hand, I’m so hungry, I would perform unspeakable acts if I could get my hands on some fried pickles right now. Are those even a thing here?”

“Fried… pickles?” He responded moderately concerned for her sanity. “Why?”

“Do you want the drunk answer or the athlete answer?”

“Both. Oh my god woman, would you get off of that. You are like the worst version of the worst mission in video games. No, no, no, you wrap your arm around mine right now, I will get you food, I promise. Stay with me, Lizzie, tell me about the pickles.”

“Drunk answer is that they taste good, you know what takes a sandwich from eh to great. Pickles.” She tucked her arm right into his, with his other hand gently resting on top of her arm ready to guide her along. “Athlete answer is that they help re-hydrate you, after work outs, after drinking. Drinking pickle juice always cures my hangovers. Although chips work too, especially with salt and vinegar.”

They found a place still open that was serving delicious smelling fried food. He was together enough to set her down on a curb. “Please stay here. I’ll be right back.”

She leaned against him as soon as he sat down and handed her their snack. It was beginning to get late and a chill in the autumn air was starting to creep in. “You called me Lizzie earlier, I haven’t been called that since I was a little girl.”

“I hate to break it to you, but you still are a little girl. Well, compared to me anyways.” He nudged her with his elbow a little to get a smile out of her. “I hope you don’t mind, I won’t call you that again if you hate it.”

“It is totally fine, I’ve gone by Liz, Lizzie, Lizbeth, Beth. Just please don’t call me Libby. My middle name is Louisa, my ex would call me Libby-Lou, knowing how much I hated that nickname. Made me feel like I should be living in Whoville, waiting for the Grinch to steal my Christmas dinner.”

“They can be the worst, ex’s. They always know where they can jab at you with a mean joke or poke at an insecurity. One of mine would make comments about what I was eating, especially if I was between jobs.” He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and felt her whole body shiver.

“I’m sorry, you never deserved that.” She said softly. He looked into her eyes, the eyeliner had somehow gotten more smudged, she looked as exhausted as she sounded.

“No, neither did you. I don’t know what all he did to you, but you deserve better too.” His voice came out low and husky. “Do you want to come back to my place, I live pretty close by and you look like you are about to freeze.”

“I don’t know, Mr Cavill, I seem to remember you mentioning something about finding someone to make out with tonight, will I find one there?”

With the straightest face he could possibly muster, “As long as you don’t eat all of my pickles.”

***

A twenty minute walk later, they were in Henry’s home. They were both greeted by a very excited Kal, who snuffled and snorted at his daddy’s new friend. A warm welcoming glow came from the living room where the lights had been left on for his dog. He offered her one of his hoodies to help her warm up and planted her on the couch so he could take his boy to do his business outside. He came back as quick as he, honestly expecting to find her asleep. Instead, she was looking at him with her whiskey colored eyes. He had wanted another drink, and brought them both another glass of the liquor. He sat down at the other end of the couch, trying to respect her space. “Are you comfortable, can I get you anything else?”

“No, I’m warming up well, thank you. You have a beautiful home, it’s nice and cozy.”

“Thank you, I like it here a lot, it is just enough for me. And Kal, for that matter.” His furry buddy was pressing as much of himself against the spot Elizabeth sat on the couch. She was delicately rubbing the area between his eyes and cooing at big beast, his fluffy tail wagging happily. “I think he likes you.”

“Oh good, I’m glad His Lordship approves of me.” She moved her hands to rub his chin. “You are just a big softy aren’t you? Good man, Kal.”

Henry watched them get acquainted, allowing himself to melt into the couch, legs spread apart. She turned her attention to the beautiful man before her. Maybe the booze was making her feel more bold than usual, but damn did she want him. Her mind was still swimming from their earlier adventure. Hopefully, it was an invite to climb between his powerful thighs. She shot back her glass and put the empty cup on his side table. He reached over to her and pulled her close. She positioned herself to face him and straddled his lap. His breath caught in his throat for a moment.

“If I’m being to presumptuous, I can stop. I will go sit on the other side again.” She said quietly.

“No, I want this. I want you.” He reached up, fingers were gently touching the back of her arms.

She leaned forward and pressed her forehead against his, “Before you... we… whatever it is here that we are doing, I need you to know that I don’t know what all I can give to you right now. I don’t want to hurt you.”

“I think you are worth the risk,” he whispered to her and they connected.

Henry had wanted this from the first time he placed her hands on him. Every nudge, posture correction, hand offered to help him, whenever he felt her skin on his he felt the current between the two of them and it was electrifying. He felt himself grow hard as she invited him to explore her body. His hoodie was off was off of her body as soon as they started, and then shortly after came her black dress. They continued to make out as she unbuttoned his soft flannel shirt.

He fingers searched the back of her bra for it’s clasp. She broke off their kiss long enough to lean back and unhook it from the front. Henry could feel the pressure building in his jeans as he looked at her body. All she had left on were knee high black boots and a pair of silky purple panties. Elizabeth gave him a lopsided smile as she leaned back into their embrace. Her fingers danced and tickled down his chest running down to to the bottom hem of his shirt. Henry stopped himself before she removed the cotton undershirt, ever so gently. “Before I take this off, I want you to not be disappointed.”

“Disappointed?” she asked breathlessly.

“I don’t look like Geralt right now. I’m in my off season, and I don’t know what kind of expectations you have...” Elizabeth slowly ran her hands back up his chest.

“I like you, Henry: your beautiful, overthinking, intelligent mind; your sweet nature; your burning passions. You as a person.” peppering his neck and face with tender kisses, her hands tangling in his hair. “Everything else is just sprinkles on a cupcake.”

“Sprinkles on a cupcake?” he smiled. She nibbled on his ear and he moaned, hungry for more.

“Cupcakes don’t need sprinkles to be delicious, I have never refused a cupcake because it didn’t have sprinkles on it.” She ran her fingers back down to the bottom of his shirt. “So, Mr Cavill, do I have permission to take your shirt off?”

“Yes, Ms Rosehill, you do.” The woman on top of him pulled the garment off, never breaking eye contact. After it’s removal, she kept a firm grip on his arms, inching ever closer to his wrists. With her hands on them, Elizabeth pressed her weight against his wrists and pinned him as best she could to the back of the couch. She ground her pelvis against his as she started nibbling and kissing his neck, her torso against his. Appreciating the nuzzling and nibbles on his neck, he closed his eyes for a moment, waiting for her to continue.

All he felt was her soft breathing against his skin. A moment later her hands dropped from his wrists. Henry tried to move himself to see what what was going on when a soft snore came from his would be lover. He rubbed his face, not believing what had just happened.

“Liz… Lizzie… wake up, sweetheart.” He tried kissing her cheek to wake her. The only response she gave was tucking her arms to her chest and adjusting her head on his shoulder. He groaned, but knew what he had to do. Elizabeth was as limp as a rag doll, so he guided her arms through his flannel shirt, placed her down gently on the couch and prepared his guest room for her. Making sure his warmest duvet was on the bed, he left a bottle of water and some Tylenol on the bed side table for her. He carried her to the room and tucked her into bed, making sure a pillow was wedged behind her back to keep her on her side. Henry then went to his room, fell face first into bed and yelled directly into a pillow.

The marriage pact - Different strokes

Henry Cavill x OC Alice - multi-chapter

< Part 7 | Part 8 Different strokes | Part 9 >

Disclaimer: tiny bit of angst and plenty of domestic fluff

Author’s note: I LOVE writing domestic fluff and tender Henry, ugh, please bare with me if the chapter seems a bit like a filler. I just don’t want to skip on it 😊😙

Word count: 1.184

(Link to my Masterlist)

Dear readers,

It has been some three months since I broke up with my ex, and as my life is getting back its balance - though a place of my own would still be quite nice, I admit - I feel the age old question pop up in my head: what makes a relationship work? The answer to that is probably closeness. Yes, I think closeness. Especially now I have not closeness, but distance to my relationship, do I get to overthink why failure was at hand.

And when I’m talking about closeness, I mean; emotional, sexual, physical and, not entirely unimportant; simply doing day-to-day things together. Is it weird to want those things? No. Did I have those things in my previous relationships? Come to think of it; no.

Either there was a lack of communication, lack of shared hobbies or we didn’t share the same need for physicality (and sex). And that, in the long run, will hurt you more than any wish to have kids will ever do. If you’re not a team, then this is not the dream.

In other fun news; I am currently in London! How fun is that? So far for.. “living the dream” haha. And of course, as always, I hope such dreams may come to you too, be it as a team or not.

Sweet dreams,

Ali

‘Do you eh..have milk or sugar in your coffee?’ I glanced over my shoulder, watching Henry push some slices of bread in the toaster. We were in the kitchen of his Mews home, readying breakfast.

‘Used to, but now just black.’ He smiled, brushing past me and pressing a sweet kiss on my cheek in the process. With a gorgeously flexing arm he swung open the fridge door to fetch some eggs for an omelette.

He should wear tight grey shirts more often.

‘And how do you like your eggs?’ He closed the fridge, studying me as I poured us two cups of black coffee. ‘Sunny side up? Slightly gooey in the middle?’ I asked and yawned - it was ungodly early in the morning for a Saturday: 6.45 AM.

‘Very well milady.’ He nodded. ‘Do you always eat eggs for breakfast?’ I blew over my cup of coffee, gently pushing his cup into the direction of the stove where he started cracking open the eggs above a sizzling hot frying pan. ‘Often, yes. Gotta have protein to keep up..’ He flexed his arm. ‘..this.’

Show-off.

‘Mhmm.’ I hummed with a hint of amusement, my lips sipping on the scorching hot and bitter liquid as I watched him poke the frying eggs, his muscles shifting ever so slightly beneath the grey cotton of his shirt. Oh this was just what I needed. Henry smiled over his shoulder and winked.

‘I’m glad you’re here.’

‘Good. So am I. Though I’m not going to be fully functioning till 8 AM, just so you know.’

He chuckled. ‘Good to know..good to know.’

—

Before long we had eaten breakfast and were on our way to meet up with his manager. It felt a bit weird to join him, but Henry calmed my nerves, telling me he often had family or friends tag along since it could get rather difficult to stay in contact otherwise.

‘So that’s where we hit a roadblock the last time.’ I muttered, following him out of the cab. He nodded and without hesitation laced his fingers through mine - he was as touchy touchy as I was and I couldn’t help but feel my heart flutter at the simple, yet meaningful gesture.

‘I fear it did. But I know the pitfalls now, better than ever before. Ten years can make a boy a man.’ He winked, then guided me in gentlemanly fashion towards a coffee place where we’d be spending the next two hours going over his adjusted schedule.

I mostly remained quiet, watching the man he had become in his natural habitat. His brow slightly furrowed as he went over some paperwork with his manager, his voice clear and dominant as he discussed and defended his needs and desires. It was simply very sexy to see him like this. Sure of his business, comfortable, authoritative. So very different from the cuddly bear I had woken up to this morning.

I had known Henry for almost 35 years and finally I got to see him as more than the boy next door. This was a man. A full grown, sexy..man.

—

‘Happy with the new schedule?’ I asked, hooking my arm more deftly around his, our feet stepping in shared rhythm through the street near his Mews home - I could get used to walking with him. It was calm in the neighbourhood as most people were eating their lunch right now, the usual pitter patter of children running on the pavements now a simple whisper of a memory, the desolate grey tarmac filled with silently resting cars.

Lunch, yes, that would be a good idea; I could feel my stomach already rumbling quietly.

‘It’s okay for now.’ Henry awoke me from my stare, smiling down upon me, his hooked arm pulling me a touch closer so my hand was now stuck between his lower arm and bicep. ‘But..?’ I raised an inquisitive eyebrow, my lips turning up in a smile mirroring his.

He was so freaking strong..rawr!

‘Hmm..’ He hummed. ‘..well it is still going to be quite busy. And I really don’t want it to come in between ..-‘ ‘Us.’ I interjected, understanding where this was going. ‘Yes.’

‘Well, I knew your life is quite different from mine, but I think we might be able to manage. You want to get a bit more grounded, get a real home, and I sure don’t mind travelling a bit - especially as long as it doesn’t interfere too much with my writing job.’

He nodded in agreement, breathing in deeply, his eyes quickly looking towards the pavement ahead of us, his eyes slightly shimmering in the late summer sun.

Wait...Was he going to ..eh..cry?

I moved up my other hand to caress his arm, my gentle fingers desperately trying to put some strength in my words. I really did mean them. I didn’t even have a home right now, so other then my job there was fairly little that bound and shackled me to Jersey. I could be there for him, if I chose to do so.

He sniffled, quickly brushing a tear as it fell down his shaved cheek. ‘Sorry about that.’ He muttered, taking a deep breath and smiling at me again. I squeezed his bicep a little firmer with the hand he kept snug and tight in the hook of his arm, my lips curling in a soft smile as I moved my head to very briefly rest on his shoulder. ‘No need to be sorry Hen.’

‘You’re just so very ..different..from my previous girlfriends. It’s..so nice and normal with you..I..’ He stammered, halting us mere meters away from his home - I could already see the front door, dark blue wood against old but clean dark brickwork.

‘Henn..’ I cooed cupping his cheek with my free hand. ‘You know I’m not one for being fussy. I take things as they come. I’m too old for being insecure and restless. I know what I want. I know what I need. And if I feel I don’t get it, I’ll make sure I either get it..or leave, and search for it elsewhere.’

He sniffled back another tear and quickly gathered me in his arms, a flurry of small kisses pressing into my hair. I giggled, using my newly found arm-freedom to wrap him into an equally tight hug.

‘I really like you Ali.’ He whispered finally, resting his nose into my hair.

The best of bear hugs.

‘I like you too Hen.’ I said, my loudly rumbling stomach breaking the simple silence between us as we both couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. ‘My stomach seems to disagree though.’

‘Can’t have that happening. Come on, let’s make us something to eat.’

I got to go watch six last night and holy shit! I surprisingly didn’t die. What a miracle guys. The Australian cast was incredible. It was a dream come true getting to watch the show live. And from the start of ex wives to the end of megasix, I had the greatest time. I couldn’t stop smiling and I’ll admit, I teared up at Loren’s Heart of Stone. She is now my second favourite Seymour Courtney Stapleton Seymour is still my favourite. But all the aussie queens have such a unique spin on the characters that we haven’t seen with other productions.

Chole’s Aragon has this angry vibe during the show but its this fresh anger at Henry for humiliating her. I wasn’t expecting this at all and I remember just listening to No Way and was just blown away by how powerful ‘No Way’ sounded. And she looked so offended during the second chorus that Boleyn had her arm around her shoulders.

Kala’s Boleyn really was there just to have fun and really didn’t mean for anyone to get hurt. She has an amazing Boleyn and she’s chaotic as well. Slight spoiler but when she sings the last ‘what was I meant to do’ she goes around to the different ladies in waiting and she looks absolutely terrified and I loved that. Also she is so done with Jane’s puns. She’s just in the background and is glaring at Jane. Just I need more alto Boleyn’s in my life.

Loren’s Seymour... I have no words... I was just sitting in my seat just in awe. Her seymour is this angry but its the sad angry you get. During the bridge she was bitter that she never got to spend time with Edward. And just last chorus was just astonishing. She was just jaw dropping and you knew Jane was still in love with Henry as well but also heart broken at the fact that she didn’t get to spend time with Adward. And during I don’t need your love, she was the last queen to stand up and join parr, which I found really cool. Kala also interrupts the monologue just after a line and it’s so funny. Plus her Boo hoo was bitter af!

Kiana Cleves... She winked at me during ex wives and I’ve never been the same since. Her BDE is off the charts. Her Get Down. OMG! I love it so much. You could tell Kiana was just having the time of her life during it because it showed during her dancing. Her Cleves was there for a good time and just to party. Aussie six says Cleves and Jane Brotp rights.

Courtney Howard was not as baby as I was expecting but still protect this Howard. Courtney was fornite dancing during HOH and I was very proud and jush HOH was as chaotic as I hoped it would be. Her ‘All Wou Wanna Do’ was really good. Her breakdown at the end was just jaw dropping because she went off! Courtney’s riff were amazing. And the monologue before aywd is the favourite one I’ve heard so far.

Vidya Parr is just under Courtney S Parr. Her Parr had this quiet presence during the musical but when it was her turn to speak, it felt like she was teaching the queens and the audience about her life. I fucking loved it. It was history time with Catherine Parr and I was down for that. Also when she started singing, oh my god... It’s incredible. The start of her Idnyl was just her kinda accepting she had to leave Thomas to be with Henry but near the end she went off cause like she was not having it! I loved it

The entire was fucking amazing and during stage door I got to meet all the queens and the alts plus the ladies in waiting who are all super sweet. And apparently all the queens and ladies in waiting noticed me in the 3rd row just smiling and having the time of my life. Thank you for listening to my ramblings about the queens

A Terrible Idea

pairing: bichie

word count: 2,192

warnings: underage drinking

modern day AU, aged up to 17

Bill and Richie are sitting on Richie’s bed, Bill's legs drooped over Richie's as they sit and stare at their phones, playing each other in silly iMessage games.

"Hey, Bill?" Richie asks, breaking the silence. "I have a terrible idea," he says looking away from his phone, focusing on Bill.

"Oh god, w-what?" Bill asks nervously and meets eyes with Richie.

"What do you say about going to a party? Like, an actual party." a wide smile spreads across the dark-haired boy's face as he thinks more and more about the idea.

"Why?" Bill asks, not so fond of the idea.

"Because," Richie lifts Bill's legs off his own and faces the boy in a full on manner. "Think about it. We have never been to a party together, wouldn't it be fun to go?"

"W-we've been to p-p-parties together," Bill says, furrowing his brows together.

"One that doesn't include cake and balloons and board games," Richie rolls his eyes playfully. "An actual high school party. It'll be so fun." Richie sings the last part and squeezes Bill's hands.

"W-whose party is i-i-it?"

"Henry Bowers’ ex girlfriend's cousin's party," Richie says effortlessly.

"H-H-Henry Bowers?" Bill's mouth hangs agape at the mention of his name.

"Ex girlfriend's cousin's party," Richie finishes Bill's sentence. Bill just stares at the other like he's completely lost his mind. "He won't be there, you can relax." Richie laughs as he leans into the boy.

"H-how do you know ab-about this?"

"I just know things," Richie smirks. "Now please, let's go. You'll have so much fun. We can get really fucking drunk and you won't have to think about shit for awhile."

"Sh-shit as in G-G-G-Georgie?" Bill asks blankly.

"That's not what I said," Richie defends himself, heart starting to pound in his chest.

"B-But you were imp-implying it,"

Richie looks down because he knows Bill is right, he just didn't want to say his name. An extreme amount of guilt starts to wash over Richie, his breath hitching, feeling like he can’t breathe.

"H-hey, it's okay," Bill says, grabbing Richie's face gently, forcing him to look at him. "I'll g-g-g-go to this stupid party w-with you." Richie jumps up from the couch and starts hopping up and down like a child on Christmas morning. "Wh-when does it s-st-start?"

"Now," Richie says and looks up at the clock that's hung over his TV in the living room. "We're actually an hour late." Richie grabs Bill's hand as they start to head out the front door.

"Wait," Bill stops and pulls away. "H-how are we going t-to get back?"

"She'll let us stay," Richie says and opens the passenger side door for Bill to get in.

"How do you kn-know?"

"She's let me stay before,"

"Y-you've been to her party b-be-before?"

"A few times," Richie chuckles lightly. "She's nice don't worry." Richie smiles a heartwarming smile, making Bill feel calm.

Richie starts the car and the two head off to this so-called party. The drive there is nice and pleasant, Richie playing his music through the aux cord as they sing along at the top of their lungs. Bill would never admit this, but he likes Richie's music, quite a lot, actually.

Richie parks his car on the side of the street and the two get out.

"Are you ready for your first high school party, Denbrough?" Richie asks the other and wiggles his eyebrows.

"N-not really," Bill says as the anxiety starts to grow in the pit of his stomach.

"Great! Now let's go." Richie grabs Bill's hand again as they head into the house with blaring music and flashing lights. They make their way through a sea of sweaty, drunken teenagers and over to the drink table. "Pick your poison, Billy." Richie motions over to all the drinks that are laid out all across the table, all of them being alcohol.

"Umm," Bill's eyes dart back and forth between all the drinks.

"Since this is your first party, we will start you off easy. Have a beer," Richie says, deciding for him, and hands Bill a red solo cup full of beer. Bill looks at the cup then at Richie - who's smiling like an idiot - then back at the drink. He slowly raises the cup to his lips and takes a drink. "So? How does it taste?"

"N-not as bad as I th-th-thought it would taste,"

"Good!" Richie says and starts to pour himself a mix of whatever the hell it is that he's drinking. All Bill can think about is it looks like one awful hangover.

"Richie!" a female's voice shouts over the music. "Fuck, Richie, it's about damn time you showed up!" a short brunette girl says as she hangs her right arm over Richie's shoulder. "Everyone has been asking where you've been,"

"They have?" Richie asks, shocked because he's so used to no one wanting him around or requesting to see him.

"Yes! Especially all the girls." she winks. "Oh, who's this?" she asks, turning towards Bill.

"Kat, this is my best friend Bill. Bill, meet Kat." Richie introduces the two.

"You're cute, Bill," Kat says flirtatiously and clearly drunk as she eyes him up and down. Richie narrows his eyes at Kat's comment. "Now, Richie, go have some fun and find those girls, there's a ton of hotties. I will introduce Bill to everyone."

"No, Kat, it's fine. I can do that," Richie protests.

"No, Richie, go have some fun! I'll take good care of him," she says and pushes Richie away.

"S-so are you the c-co-cousin?" Bill asks and takes a another sip of his drink, trying to hold back a bitter face.

"No," Kat laughs nervously. "I'm the ex girlfriend."

"O-o-h..." Bill whispers.

"Yeah. That was one big ass mistake. That's why I drown out the memories," she says and downs the rest of her drink in one big gulp. Bill just stands there with wide eyes thinking why the hell did he let Richie get him into this mess. "So what brings you here tonight, Bill?"

"P-peer pressure,"

Kat laughs hysterically at his comment.

"You're funny, Bill," Kat flirts some more.

"Yeah, s-sure," Bill says and looks away uncomfortably.

"You see that really pretty blonde girl in the red dress over there?" Kat asks pointing over to her left, Bill nods. "That's my cousin, Tori. She's the host of the party. I say you go over and talk to her, she's been eyeing you since you've walked through the door." Kat winks. "Now I'm going to go find Richie," she says tapping her cup on Bill’s before she walks away.

Bill hesitates, he's not sure if he actually wants to go up and talk to this Tori girl, he would rather go and look for his best friend. Bill sighs and decides to go and talk to the girl so he doesn't look like a complete loner.

"H-hey," Bill says coming up from behind Tori.

"Oh, hi." Tori smiles brightly. "I've never seen you around here before, what's your name?"

"B-B-Bill," he stutters shyly, his cheeks tinting pink.

"Well, Bill, I'm Tori." The girl holds out her hand, Bill shaking it.

"You're th-the cousin," Bill states.

"That I am," she laughs. "So who'd you come with?"

"R-Richie Tozier," Bill takes a drink, starting to feel a little bit angry at Richie for leaving him like he did.

"Ah, that Richie," Tori says biting her lip. Bill frowns and pulls his eyebrows together.

"What's that s-su-supposed to mean?"

"Oh nothing," the blonde girl laughs as she shakes her head. "Him and Kat have just gotten into it." Bill's not quite sure what that means but he has a slight idea. Bill stands there awkwardly and then downs the rest of his drink.

"I-I think I'm going t-t-to get a refill," he says and walks away back to the drink table.

"Fancy seeing you here," a voice says. Bill looks up and sees his best friend smiling widely at him. "Having fun?"

"I n-n-need something stronger," is all Bill says.

"Rough night?" Richie asks, grabbing his cup and pouring a hard mixed drink for the other.

"Sorta," Richie hands Bill's cup back to him and he takes a drink. "Sh-shit,." Bill says, coughing. Richie looks at the boy with loving eyes and giggles. He's always wanted to take Bill to a party and he's glad he convinced him to do so. He swears that every time Bill laughs he just falls more and more for him, as cheesy as that sounds.

"It'll get you drunk faster if that's what you're hoping for," Richie smiles a crooked grin.

"Good," Bill says and starts to chug it.

"But take it slow unless you're wanting to fucking throw up," Richie says and quickly pulls the cup away from Bill's lips and looks down at them for a second then quickly looking away.

"J-just don't leave me ag-agin," Bill pleads.

"I didn't want to in the first place," Richie half whispers, feeling guilt-ridden.

Bill smiles slightly and looks down at his drink as his heart starts to pound its way through his ribcage.

"S-so, Kat..." Bill says as sadness grows in his voice.

"What about her?" Richie tilts his head to the side.

"You l-like her?" Bill asks brokenheartedly, Richie choking on his drink as Bill asks the question.

"No, god no. She's just..." Richie trails off.

"Tori s-s-said that you two have 'go-gotten into it,'" Bill says, using air quotes.

"We just made out a few times," the dark-haired boy says quietly, feeling guilty. "That's it. It's nothing major. Didn't mean anything." Bill nods his head, believing him.

"Y-you might want to tell h-he-her that," Bill winks. Richie blushes and laughs lightly.

"So, you see anyone that you're interested in?" Richie half teases.

"N-not really. You?" Bill bites his lip nervously, lying, because he wants Richie.

"Me either." The two boys finish their drinks and continue to talk. Many, many giggles and refills later, Bill starts to loosen up.

"I-I think I'm d-d-dr-dru-drunk," Bill says looking around, his vision a little bit blurry and feeling light headed.

"You think or you know?" Richie slurs his words.

"I d-don't kn-know?" Bill asks in more of a question than an answer. The two boys laugh some more, Bill trying to walk but falling into Richie's arms instead.

"You, my friend, are drunk," Richie says, helping the boy balance on his own two feet again. "How do you feel?"

"G-great actually. I-I-I feel like I can do an-any-anything," Bill says quite loudly and melts himself deeper into Richie's arms. He loves how he feels, he loves how Richie is here with him at his first high school party, his first time getting drunk. He knows that if Richie wasn't here with him, he'd be paranoid beyond belief. He's glad that he's here to take care of him even though Richie is quite drunk himself.

"Do you want to go somewhere else?" Richie shouts over the loud music.

"L-like where?" Bill shouts back.

"Like upstairs." Bill nods his head, grabs the boy's hand and leads him upstairs. They enter a room, assuming that it's Tori's and sit on the floor. The two boys sit there in silence for a few moments until Richie breaks it.

"I lied," he says.

"W-what?"

"There is someone here that I do like." Richie takes a deep breath. "And that someone is you." Bill gasps lightly, not sure if he heard him right.

"It i-is?" Bill shakes his head in disbelief.

"Oh shit... I just fucked everything up didn't I?" Richie starts to internally panic.

"N-n-n-no, no you didn't," Bill says quickly. "Because I li-like you too."

"Well fuck me," Richie says, exhilarated. "Really?"

"Y-yeah, for a long t-ti-time actually." Bill blushes cherry red.

"Me too." Richie smiles at the other.

He takes one long look at the boy before grabbing his face gently and smashing his lips onto Bill's. Bill doesn’t know what’s happening at first, but then he kisses Richie back. Richie wraps his arm around the small of Bill's back, pulling him closer and onto his lap. Bill, being desperate, wraps his arms around Richie's neck. The kiss begins to heat up quickly. Both of them have wanted to kiss each other for so long, and the amount of time is clearly showing itself. Bill scoots himself up Richie's lap so that both of their torsos are touching. Richie runs his hands through Bill's soft, silky hair and tugs lightly. Bill is the first to pull away, panting and trying to catch his breath. He relaxes himself, still on Richie's lap.

"Shit," Richie whispers in awe.

"Yeah," Bill agrees.

"It sucks, you know? That we both have to be so fucking drunk out of our minds to finally tell each other about how we really feel and then make out," Richie says a little disappointed. "But, I'm also glad because there's no way I'd ever be able to tell you sober."

"M-me either," Bill says and kisses Richie again.

"I just don't want anything to change when we are sober, though."

"Tr-trust me, it won't," Bill promises.

Like it Never Happened, chapter 1: Welcome Back

Sorry this is late. I don’t know if this is going to be a one-off or if there will be more. Either way, I hope you enjoy this post-ink hell Samsie story.

---

Susie’s first day back in the real world had gone so well. After she’d tumbled out of the ink machine, which had been moved into a government research facility after Henry Stein had escaped their dimension and alerted the authorities, she’d been greeted by the researchers there. A worker on site had helped connect her to her nearest living relative and arranged her to meet with a lawyer in roughly the same area a few days later- as one might imagine, many strange legal and practical difficulties are bound to pop up when one is assumed dead for nearly twenty years. After that, she’d a long trip back to her sister, who had welcomed her with tear-filled eyes and open arms. She’d gotten to pet her sister’s German Shepard and eat real food for the first time in ages. After she’d settled into the guest room, there was only one decision left for Susie to make, and she thought she was ready. Taking a deep breath, she dialed the number that the woman at the research lab had given her. She’d been told that the man it belonged to wasn’t sure if she’d want to talk, but had wanted to give her the option.

“Hello?” a voice answered. Was that how Sammy had sounded before his inking? Susie couldn’t remember.

“Hello, is this Sammy Lawrence?”

“Yes, and this is?”

“Susie Campbell. The woman who revived me gave me your number. She said that you wanted to speak with me, but only if I was willing to. So… what is it, Sammy?”

“I just wanted to see how you were doing. I sent the same message to Jack, too, and a few others that I knew before everything happened. I guess after being their leader for so long, it just felt weird to suddenly be out and be told that it was in someone else’s hands.”

Susie blushed. “Oh.”

“What? What is it?”

“Sorry, I guess I was just jumping to conclusions. I thought that you might’ve given me this number because you wanted… I don’t know- forgiveness, or…” the thought honestly seemed to silly to say aloud now. And Susie wasn’t entirely sure she wanted to see him- lord knew what a tangled ball of emotions that was- but, she did sort of want him to want to see her.

A slightly irritable tone crept into Sammy’s warm voice. “I’m not begging you for forgiveness. Same way I’m not blaming you for- well, you know. Point is, let’s leave that world behind us.”

“Okay. Sorry, I kind of only got out this morning.” She paused. “Do you ever see any of the others, Sammy? Do you still talk?”

“Not really. I still talk to some of my cult members over the phone, but they’ve all kind of scattered to the winds. Where are you living right now?”

Finally, an indication that he wanted to see her! “I’m about an hour from New York City. I’m living with my sister right now. Of course, I’m going to try and get a job and my own place as soon as possible, but yeah, for now I’m here.”

“That’s wonderful. I’m living in New York. So… would you be willing to see me? Not as a date- just as an ex-ink creature to ex-ink creature sort of thing.”

“That sounds perfect.”

“So, tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

So, the next day, Susie found herself in New York City, waiting in a Café for Sammy to arrive. This was exciting, and a little nerve-wracking. Would they get along as though nothing had happened? Would she scared and wary around him, just as she had been between her transformation into Alice and her imprisonment? She hadn’t noticed it until she was back in the bustling city, but she had gotten awfully jumpy- like a part of her hadn’t realized that death wasn’t lurking around each corner anymore. Hopefully it wouldn’t be too obvious to Sammy. And then- would Sammy be different as well?

Finally, Sammy arrived. He looked just about the same as he always had- the scientists had really done a good job at reconstructing their bodies. The fact that they’d neglected to put details like pores or veins on their skin made them look either like wax figures or like airbrushed models, depending on who you asked.

“Hey. Enjoying being human again?” Sammy asked, sitting down across from her.

“Sure beats the alternative. So, how long have you been out?”

“Thirty-two days. Oh my God, are they still handing out those, ‘your new body’ brochures?”

Susie laughed. “The ones that are half like one of those books you give kids who are goin’ through puberty and half like an ad for a super-realistic doll? Yep. I bought us some scones, by the way.”

Sammy took one and thanked her. “I never thought of them that way, but that hits the nail on the head. ‘Make sure to wash properly! Your hair and skin are like real!’ Yeah. Sure they are. Real enough, though.”

“And I just love the fact that they decided to give me a pulse, but only on my left wrist. I mean, what- did they think that I’d complain if I couldn’t check my ‘heartrate’?”

“Wait, you have a pulse?”

“Oh, is that new?”

“I guess. I wouldn’t spend an extra month in the studio for it, that’s for sure!”

Susie laughed. “Oh my God. So someone did complain about it!”

Sammy laughed a little as well. “So, do you have anything that you always told yourself that you’d do the second you were out of that place?”

“Well, we had some plants in my area of the studio. They were the same colour as everything else, of course- and they felt like paper. Only living thing that I wasn’t destroying and they only made the place feel deader. I told myself that if I ever got out, I’d never take living things for granted again.”

Sammy smiled. “Yeah. I was a lot like that, too. Well, it’s your first day out. Want to go appreciate some living things?”

Susie heartily agreed to the idea, and so as soon as the two of them were finished with their scones, Sammy led her to a greenhouse. Susie loved it. There were flowering plants in every possible colour. Sammy ended up buying her one that she could keep in her room- a beautiful purple flowering plant called a “Gloxinia.” For a moment, the two of them could have almost forgotten that anything had happened, and for Sammy that was rare. It seemed to Sammy that almost everything was aesthetically different now, and he had never quite shaken off the feeling that he was some kind of time traveller. With Susie here now, though, gushing over stuff like she used to, he almost wanted to kiss her and ask her if she wanted to see Kings Row at one of the new fancy in-colour theatres.

After walking Susie to the bus stop, she’d stopped and looked back at him, as though considering giving him a kiss. Sammy hadn’t stopped her. Maybe, he thought, he should have.

He couldn’t base their relationship on the lie that nothing had happened. Something had happened. And Sammy felt it the moment her bus had taken off. He’d heard something- he wasn’t sure what- that reminded him of the Projectionist’s roar and stumbled away in fear so quickly that he nearly ran into oncoming traffic. He was used to that kind of thing by now, and was able to take a few deep breaths and calm down, the only consequence of his outburst being a few strange looks. It hadn’t been that way when he’d only been out a few days. Something had happened. And if Susie hadn’t felt it yet, she would.

It would be nice if they could support each other through this. But their relationship had been so flimsy back in the 1930s. Could it even survive while they were both battling demons? Not unless it was much stronger than it was back then. And Sammy was tempted to just let things keep going in the direction they were going, to let things sort themselves out. Things would not be as picture perfect as this… (is it still called a first date when you were dating decades ago and never really broke up so much as betrayed each other horribly and became bitter enemies who did horrible violent things to each other while under the influence of a supernatural substance which is no longer in the picture?) outing, moreso than it was for all relationships compared to their honeymoon phase- that was for sure. But, if they were both enjoying it, what was the harm? They were different people now. Maybe they could make it work.

When things are hard, I’ll be there. Chapter 3.

So I’m actually going to start being active on here, but I sort of forgot this existed. I have a few works which need tweaked and then can be posted wooo.

Chapter 3- 3,283.

“Then I saw him,” Catherine of Aragon finished, looking towards the kitchen tabletop and not to her friends. There was fear evident in her tone. Catherine had helped Jane explain as much as they knew about Anne’s situation – it wasn’t much, however, as Anne had fallen asleep before Jane had gotten a chance to ask anything of the situation.

Catherine Parr looked bewildered. Her godmother had seen Henry? She wasn’t sure what to say or do or think.

“Do you understand, Catherine?” Jane spoke, her voice barely above a whisper, still not completely calmed down herself. Cathy nodded.

The look of confusion was plastered over Cathy’s face. Her eyebrows and lips were twisted with fear and difficulty in comprehending exactly what Catherine (and partially Jane) had told her. Henry was potentially back? There was part of her, the researcher part, which could fully understand it – it made perfect sense. The queens were back, the Ladies in Waiting were back… so why not Henry? But another part, the emotional part, wanted to scream. And why not their children? The question haunted her a little. If Henry was back, but not their children…

“I do,” she nodded, pulling her hand from Jane, and hanging her head low. She wouldn’t admit how afraid she truly was at the concept. It seemed like everyone was, though, so there was no point in complaining about the same fears everyone else shared.

Cathy took a sip of the coffee that she had been making. It was black, quite a bit of sugar and getting cold due to how Catherine and Jane had stalled on talking to her about it. Catherine had initiated, telling Cathy first about Anne’s experience which they barely knew anything about yet, and then Catherine’s own experience. Seeing as it was Catherine who had experienced it, it made it seem oddly more believable because it was Catherine. Catherine with good logical thinking, the person who wouldn’t lie about such a significant thing.

“It isn’t fair,” Cathy stated finally, taking a small sip of her sweet yet bitter coffee. “It isn’t fair,” she repeated again, pinching the bridge of her nose before standing up. There were things she wanted to say – things she wanted to scream -, but she wasn’t sure exactly how to go about saying the things. What do you say when your abusive, ex-husband, previous King of England is apparently reincarnated?

Jane nodded, standing to beside Cathy. She placed an arm gently on her shoulder, squeezing it without much pressure. The kitchen was freezing, even as the sun was streaming in from the transparent glass window which overlooked the immaculately kept garden. Jane and Katherine were immensely proud of their work to it; upkeeping a vegetable garden was not a simple task. Jane hoped Katherine didn’t find out about Henry, the thought suddenly flooded her mind as she looked out to the garden, imagining them both laughing and planting. Anna tended to watch from a deck chair, laughing along herself with a small glass of alcohol. Jane wanted to keep that serene image of Katherine in her head, rather than one of her and Henry. Jane didn’t know exactly what Henry (or Thomas Culpeper or Henry Manox) had done to her Katherine but she didn’t want to know.

Shaking her head to try and remove her thoughts, she took her hand off of Cathy’s shoulder, continuing her staring out of the window. How much would life change if Henry was back? Could they continue the show? Would they need to move? There was a part of Jane, however, which she despised, that could almost feel excited for Henry to be back. He loved her, didn’t he?

“It isn’t fair, love, it really isn’t,” Jane replied, her tone slightly wistful. “But if it is the case, we will be able to get through it, I promise.”

Cathy agreed, taking a seat back down, a little defeated by her own thoughts, draining her last bit of coffee. “Of course,” she smiled, not convincingly.

“I told Anne that I was going to pop down to Tesco in a little bit.” Jane stated, changing the conversation topic. It had been awhile since Jane and Anne had woken up and Jane was starting to get hungry. “Do you want anything? Anne suggested chocolate and I feel inclined to agree,” Jane laughed at that, taking a seat back down. She was often telling the girls that they need to eat a healthy, balanced diet and no, they could not have chocolate for lunch. However, chocolate seemed reasonable enough in this situation.

Cathy laughed also and nodded. “Definitely… galaxy?” she asked with a slight, hopeful smile.

Jane nodded; all the girls liked galaxy chocolate, so she couldn’t exactly say no! “Do you want anything, Catherine?”

She took a moment, pondering to herself. She didn’t often ask other people to get herself stuff, but she was tired, scared and Jane needed a distraction from everything. Shopping was a release. “Some mango tea, please?” Catherine asked. She knew that Jane had also been wanting to try it, so a perfect suggestion.

“Certainly! I’m going to head over once I’m dressed – do call me if Anne wakes up though please, or if the ladies come over as Anne was asking for Maggie,” Jane spoke, her tone unwavering as she arose from her seat, leaving the other two queens to converse.

Cathy’s heart was pounding. Something was wrong; she wasn’t sure what, but there was something desperately wrong. It was like a nagging feeling to her gut and a whirring sensation to her brain. Something was going to happen, but it was completely out of anyone’s control as what would happen; that she was sure of.

“Are you alright?” Catherine asked, noticing the slight change in her goddaughter’s demeanour.

“Something’s wrong,” Cathy stated, tapping her fingers on the table methodically.

Catherine was lost for words. Something was wrong, most certainly wrong. They could feel it, loud and clear that there was a shift… almost a connection present somewhere. A feeling as strong and as clear as when they had found each other – unshakable. However, Catherine didn’t agree for the sake of not worrying the person she cared so much about, but rather, she tugged her into a hug and awaited the sound of Jane returning to the kitchen.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Jane! Dunno if Cathy told you, but Maggie is coming later. She’s letting Anne sleep for a little bit more before she comes though. And- what happened to Anne?” Katherine asked with a sleepy enthusiasm, greeting Jane as the older girl walked up the stairs, meeting Jane just outside her room.

“Cathy did. Thank you for asking, Kitty. Oh, by any chance, is Joan coming with her?” Jane spoke, completely disregarding the question, Katherine wasn’t ready to know. Only if the situation became dire, Jane swore.

“Don’t really know. I think she might stay for a bit, and Maria and Bessie wanted to come too but they have an interview or a display or… something? So, she might stay!” Katherine didn’t decide to pursue what was wrong was Anne. It simply added to her anxiety about the whole situation, but if there was a reason Jane hadn’t told her, then there was a reason. She tried not to dwell on it too much because she knew if she began to theorise, it could easily send her spiralling into a panic attack which would then dampen her chipper mood for the day.

Jane smiled, releasing a breath at the fact Katherine wasn’t asking anymore questions. “I’m going to go to Tescos once I’m changed to pick up a few things. Do you want to come with me?”

Katherine shook her head, screwing up her face. “I’m hungry and we have a cinnamon roll left and I really want that before Cathy takes it. Thanks for the offer anyway, mum,” Katherine smiled, laughing as Jane gently shook her head, pulling Kat into a slight hug, and moving into her own room.

It didn’t take the girl a long time to choose clothing; a simple, silver jumper and a pair of black jeans. Despite the fact they were often extremely comfortable clothes that Jane enjoyed wearing, they felt uncomfortable and almost… prickly? Ignoring the odd sensations, Jane made the way back downstairs, again to the kitchen where Cathy and Catherine were sat, Cathy still held in her godmother’s arms.

“Is everything okay?” Jane inquired, furrowing her brow in concern.

“Everything’s fine,” Catherine Parr stated, pushing away. “Will the Tesco be open?” she then asked, changing the conversation topic, despite the fact she knew that it opened seven o’clock, so it was quite a stupid question to ask.

“It should be. Isn’t it about nine?” Jane asked, looking down at her phone and nodding at the correctly made assumption. “When Katherine comes down, she’s going to have the last cinnamon roll,” Jane told them in a “by the way” sort of fashion, smiling a sigh whilst the other two women nodded.

Shopping (or cleaning, or cooking, or baking) were always excellent distractions for Jane, often taking her out of the distressed mindset which caused the need for a distraction. The Tesco wasn’t too far away – just outside Holborn; not too far a distance from Coven Garden, where they lived. It took a moment of pondering whether or not she wanted to get the tube and walk from Holborn station to the Tesco, or, simply, drive the car. Taking the easiest option, she chose car. Sometimes, when Jane was with others, or simply just wanted to get out, she would take the underground. But she didn’t really enjoy it, it was constantly loud and crowded with train delays and rushed Londoners. Jane smiled again, grabbing her bag and keys, and left.

The travel to Tesco was nothing extraordinary, however she didn’t put on her usual cast recording of Beautiful: The Carole King musical. Something about music - or something distracting at all – seemed just… wrong at the time, and Jane was having a hard enough time concentrating on the road anyway. She was feeling something odd, a sort of hum in her head and odd restriction to her chest which didn’t leave as she pulled up to just outside the Tesco express.

Jane got out of the car, sighing slightly at nothing in particular, and grabbed a bag. It only took her walking into the Tesco to realise she didn’t actually know what she was there for other than literally chocolate and mango tea. What did they need? Bread? Milk? Eggs? Jane mentally checked the basics off, before settling on take everyone out for Sunday lunch or a Sunday treat, like they often did. Jane was clinging to some normality, even if what was presumed to be going on, was going on, their life would the fact she may as well just buy a few treats and something for a nice dinner. Walking aimlessly around, a thought came to her that, if everyone was up for it, might just not be the same again. So a decent roast dinner or a trip to Kensington would be appreciated.

Shaking her head slightly, Jane grabbed some chicken and bacon sandwich paste, a packet of ham, and smoked cheese – an odd choice to anyone else, but something which Jane knew the other girls would appreciate. Besides, Jane remembered how she promised Anne a “nice lunch”, so the odd choice of foods (and chocolate) would grant exactly that. Mindlessly, she sauntered over to the sweets aisle before she accidently bumped straight into a man as she had been so concentrated on the patterns of the floor tiles. This man was tall, pale-skinned, had flaming red-hair, and was looking at Jane with a look that immediately caused her to retract. It wasn’t exactly malicious, but something about the look and the appearance of the man caused Jane to physically retract from him and turn the opposite direction, breath heavy. Was that who Catherine had been talking about? Was that Henry? Jane’s mind ran as she sped up her pace, but not enough so it was noticeable, as not to make an obvious scene or provoke the man to speak to her.

The lights were blinding as she tried to work her way through the Tesco which she thought she knew so well. Jane wondered how much the Queens would be annoyed if she didn’t manage to bring any of the food which she promised home. Ideas of ways in which she could make up the lack of treats attempted to trickle into her mind, but it seemed wholly focused on what had just happened. She didn’t seem to see the other man in front of her as she accidently brushed passed him. This time, it felt different. The same feeling which she had felt in the car washed over her, but ever so slightly different, and she didn’t feel the same panic for a split second. It was almost like a connection present, but not strong, if Jane hadn’t been incredibly aware of herself and her own surroundings, she doubted she would have even felt the connection. It was a confusing feeling. There was wistful air to it, but also a breathtakingly terrified feeling, making her hands shake and recoil immediately away from the other man.

This man, although she didn’t get a clear glimpse, wasn’t as tall as the previous, dark-haired, and was not stealing odd glances at the woman. All in all, she should have been fully unafraid of this man, but alas, terror struck her in icy cold waves. There was almost no way that she would be able to stay, no matter how much she wanted to make her friends’ feel a little better. Quickly diverting back to the same aisle in which she got the food, Jane left, checking once, twice, three times to make sure there was no one following her before she moved into the car. Anxiety wasn’t an uncommon feeling for any of the girls, but it was unusual that Jane, in particular, would feel it to such an extent, often giving that title to Katherine, especially around men.

Sitting in her blue car, parked well in the car park of the Tesco express she had just left, she dialled for Catherine of Aragon, a familiar voice would be enough to ground her.

Cathy had wrapped herself up in the arms of her godmother again as she felt the familiar vibrate of the older woman’s mobile phone start to ring in the pocket. They had moved to the sofa from the uncomfortable bar stools at the table in the kitchen, both wrapped up in warm dressing gowns and with a cup of herbal tea. Cathy wasn’t always great at showing affection, even to the people she loved, but she’d gratefully accepted cuddling up to Catherine in this one instance; her thoughts still haywire.

“Let me get that,” Aragon stated, pushing slightly off of the smaller form, but the call went to voice mail, having waited just a bit too long. Catherine despised leaving the call too long, it made her feel awful, like she had failed.

In the car, Jane had finally managed to calm herself down and bring herself back to reality a little better. Self-talk often helped her come back around and ground herself. Things like “this is okay, you’re safe”, and “it’s okay to feel like this”, really helped the woman. However, there was still a feeling which she couldn’t shake. It was settled deep, making her feel incredibly uncomfortable in her surroundings and a sense of something was wrong overcame her in harsh waves repeatedly.

Then the phone didn’t pick up. Logically, Jane knew that Catherine could be doing any number of things – making food, tending to Cathy, heating up the cinnamon roll for Katherine. All normal things. Illogically, Jane’s mind ran to Henry coming back and hurting her. She called again, silently whispering a prayer of hope.

“Jane?” was Catherine’s voice on the other side of the mobile phone: tired and seemingly a little confused, pushing away the fact she felt bad for not picking up sooner.

All in a second had Jane realised she didn’t quite know what to say to Catherine. All she had wanted was a familiar voice. Even if she had shared a similar experience, Jane still felt the annoying urge to not be truthful oh what had happened, to feign experience. So, she did.

“I’m sorry love, but I couldn’t find any chocolate or that tea you wanted, or really anything for a nice lunch like I had promised Anne…” Jane started, her tone wavering, slightly too defeated for the situation which she was telling Catherine. Overall, the lie was weak. How was she unable to find chocolate or decent lunch ingredients at Tesco? “I’m just going to come home now,” she spoke. “But I was having a think: we could maybe go out later on, once our ladies are here, and have a nice lunch out instead?” She tried to steady her voice more as she spoke, attempting to add enthusiasm.

The voice on the opposite to Catherine’s line seemed… almost distressed? Was everything okay?

“That’s completely fine. I think a nice lunch sounds bloody wonderful!” Catherine spoke, using a calmer and more mothering tone than one which she was used to, despite the fact she was notably confused as to how Jane was unable to even get chocolate. However, she didn’t push. “Also, Kat hasn’t come down for her cinnamon roll yet.” Catherine added, a small noise which was meant to seem like a laugh punctuated the end of the sentence,

Jane nodded, sighing a little in contentment as she remembered how oblivious Katherine was to the whole situation unfurling right in front of them, and at how Catherine bought her lie. “Thank you,” Jane said, fully truthfully. The familiar voice helped her as much as she hoped as they both said their goodbyes and ended the call, leaving Catherine still confused and leaving Jane more hopeful than before.

About halfway home, Jane received another call, this time, however, the call connected through her car (a feature she was so grateful to have access too) so she was able to answer hands free. The call was from Cathy Parr and Jane didn’t question it before answering.

“Hello lovely,” she spoke, her voice calmer than before.

“Heya. Joan and Maggie have popped down now; they came a bit earlier than expected because Bessie and Maria have the interview at eleven, not one like they’d thought, and it takes way too long to get down to Guildford,” she laughed a little at her end statement.

And then, it wasn’t Cathy on the phone. It was the familiar voice of Anne’s lady, Maggie.

“Yep, you’ll have to deal with us here until at least five,” her voice came through the car. It seemed, her tone anyway, that she hadn’t been told about Anne’s situation yet. But Maggie’s spirits often were uplifted by small things - so maybe she had been, and Jane wouldn’t have to recount the story again?

“I’ll be back home in about ten minutes,” Jane beamed, almost forgetting the men at Tesco and the fact she didn’t buy anyone anything like intended. She sighed again, the call cutting off as ended it with a quick “goodbye”. Jane spirits were higher than they had been for a while, and she was calmer than when she had entered the car. For this, she was grateful, a serene sort of piece, a moment of forgetting for the drive home. She even managed to turn on her musical theatre radio.

Don’t Let Me Go

Hello my lovely readers! This is a fic i wanted to write because i have been feeling kind of down in the dumps lately and I wanted some Fluffy Reid to make me feel better. Not that my Fiance cant cheer me up but sometimes you just need to feel a little love from the guys you’ll never get ya know? Anyways this is a new series, i’m not sure how many parts this will be but enjoy!

Pairing: Spencer Reid X Reader Warnings: Anorexia, eating disorders, depression, drug use, mentions of past character death, extreme fluff? is that a warning?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

27 hours.

It had been 27 hours since you took the last bite of food. All that had passed your lips in the past 27 hours was black coffee and water.

Pulling open the door to the conference room, your team turn to look at you. Each member giving you a smile, and Dr. Spencer reid pulled the chair next to him out slightly, a steaming paper cup set in front of it.

“Alrighty my pretties. We got two women, one a Sandra Morey, 35, divorcee. Two kids that live with their father Henry Morey. And we have Aubrey Willison, also 35, has two kids that live with their dad a Mr. Ralph Willison. Both women were found in their homes with a single gunshot wound to the chest, that pierced their heart. Both ex husbands have been ruled out as suspects, and the icing on our lovely murder cake is that they were killed within 3 days of each other.” Garcia clicks through the slideshow of the victims.

The team listens intently, but your food deprived mind starts to drift, and you find yourself staring blankly down at the paper cup in front of you. There were 2 calories in black coffee. 1 in espresso, over the past day you had consumed 23 calories. 10 cups of piping hot coffee and an espresso that you grabbed on your way here. The barista gave you a weird look when you ordered a single shot of espresso, nothing else. No cream, no sugar, normally people ordered a latte, or a cappuccino. But not you. There were far too many calories, you didn’t even enjoy the taste of black coffee, it was far too bitter and left a gross taste in your mouth. But the feeling of the hot liquid sliding down your throat warming your permanently cold chest, was euphoric. You savored the way it felt in your empty stomach.

“Y/n, are you cold? You’re shivering..” Reid’s hand on your arm startled you, and you gave him a shy smile.

“Sorry, I should’ve grabbed a sweater before coming in I guess,”

“Here use mine.”

You watch as Reid shrugs off his brown cardigan and wraps it around your thin shoulders. You were surprised it fit. You felt like a elephant, your wrists were too thick, your thighs touched and your ribs didn’t stick out when you laid down. Your collarbones were hidden under puffy, mushy fat that clung to you like glue. You hated the way your stomach protrudes when you sit down. You can’t stand when people brush by you in small spaces, people should be able to effortlessly slip by you. If they couldn’t, then you were thin enough.

“Thank you, Reid. I appreciate it.” You smile lightly, a small blush creeping up your cheeks. Across the table Morgan watched as the Dr. smiled back, his hand lingering on your shoulder just a moment too long. Morgan smiled to himself, he had an inkling that the genius liked you as more than a friend. You had been the saviour for the doctors self destruction when he fell to the cold hand of Dilaudid. You had been fairly new to the team when Reid was kidnapped, and you didn't hesitate to hold Reids hand as he was carried away on the stretcher, and you actually got into a verbal argument with Hotch, when he told you to leave for the night to go home. You stuck by his bedside the entire night, and when he was discharged you even insisted you sleep at his house until his wounds healed.

Spencer at the time wasn't aware that you had known what it was like to be completely alone when fighting something you couldn't control. You knew that the Unsub had drugged Reid, you had found the vials, when Reid was suddenly acting strange a few months after the incident. When he had been cleared for the field again, and you picked up on it instantly. You had made it your personal mission to help him with this.

As you helped Reid get over his addiction to the harsh drug that had been forced upon him, your friendship grew, and for Spencer it grew into more than that. When Maeve died you were right there for him as well. You spent nights sitting outside his apartment door, reading him lines from his favorite books. You brought him coffee and just listened to him cry. You were the equivalent to a guardian angel for Spencer.

You had helped Spencer more than anyone could have imagined, and in return the kind, awkward Doctor had started to bring you coffee, and you would spend nights at his place and listen to his read his favorite books. You would often gift books to each other, share random facts you found interesting with one another. It was the small things that made Spencer fall for you, the way your nose crinkled when you found out what the names of the Unsubs. How you had to make sure that everyone got home safe after a case, and how you bought Garcia endless colorful pens for her office.

“Wheels up in 20” Hotch, grabs the file from the table in front of you and you jump. Your brain felt foggy, and logically you knew you needed to eat something if you were going on a case, but the calories you burned when you fasted for this long. When you fasted for this long, you desired to feel light and airy. Like nothing in the world could weigh you down.

“Y/N, are you okay? You’re awfully jumpy, and you barely drank any of your coffee..” Reid stood up, his brow knitted together in worry. Reid may be a profiler, but so were you, you knew what he was looking for, a tell, a sign that you werent okay. You hated that you had to lie to him, and to the team but if they knew what was happening with you they would call for you to have a evaluation and that would get you taken from the field.

You could handle this, only 15 pounds left, then you would finally be where you needed to be. Reid and the team, they would think you looked amazing. Morgan would be able to lift you up when he gave you a hug after a hard case. And Reid, he would be able to lift you off his lap when you fell asleep as he ran his long fingers through your hair, as he read to you. You would be able to ask for a smaller size of your vest because the bigger ones the rest of the team wore would restrict your movement. You would be able to wear spencers cardigans and have them hang to your knees, your slim legs would look great in them and you wouldn't feel like an elephant anymore. All you had to do was fast for another day or so and then you could allow the 300 calories you felt would be acceptable.

“I’m fine, Spence. I promise, just tired, I had a hard time sleeping last night.” You smile up at him and he holds out his hand for you, you greatly take it and wrap your thin fingers around his, and allow the tall Dr. to assist you in standing.

You walk with the rest of the team to the jet, everyone wearing light sweaters in the warm breeze, while you wrapped your down jacket around you a little tighter, the wind forcing violent shiver through you. You stood next to Spencer and JJ, waiting for the stairs of the jet to fold down. You couldn’t wait to sit in the last booth across from the Dr. as he read another book that you picked up from him on your way in to work this morning. You always picked the longest books you could find when buying books for Reid. His eidetic memory making reading books a short task for him, but he humored you often and tried to slow his reading so you wouldn't feel bad for taking a while longer to read the selections he picked for you.

You put your go bag in the compartment above the bench you claimed as your own, and sat on the bench, as Spencer sits across from you. “Oh Spencey. I got you this.” You reach into your purse a hand him the book, and he gives you a smile.

“Thanks Y/N, I’m sure im going to enjoy it. I always do,” He takes the book and tucks in under his arm and shrugs off his messenger bag. Placing it on his seat, he walks over to the cabinet on the back of jet and grabs a water for himself and brings you one.

“Here, i know your ears pop when you take off.” He hands you the bottle his fingers brushing against yours, and it takes everything in Spencer to not pull back from your alarmingly cold hand. Spencer had noticed over the past few months how you had dropped a few pounds, and at first it wasn't alarming, with the amount of cases increasing all of your diets had suffered. But when things had evened out and you were still dropping weight. And now that the last 6 times you had crashed at Reid’s apartment you refused dinner and the following morning breakfast, settling for a cup of black coffee on both occasions.

He had also noticed how you stopped carrying a lunch bag with you when the team was at the office, and had often opted for a protein bar you had in your purse. And now with the zoning out during meetings and the way your cheeks sunk in just a hint further than normal Reid was concerned. He had always thought of you as beautiful and he fell for you despite your looks. Your caring personality and your willingness to help a person who you only knew for a few days when Spencer was going through the aftermath of being held captive by Tobias.

He had fallen in love with you for everything about you, not just your looks. Spencer had hoped to talk to you about it this weekend but with the case he was afraid that he wouldn't make it in time. That something would go horribly wrong before he got the chance to confront you and help you with whatever you were going through. Like you had done for him twice before, Spencer took the book from the seat and sat down resting one arm on the armrest and flipped to the front page of the book, eyes scanning across the page, he got lost in the authors writing for a few minutes before movement across from him caught his eye.

He glanced up from the book and watched as you laid your head down on the seat, pulling two of the blankets provided over you, still in your down coat, and closed your eyes. Spencer watched for a few moments as you drifted off, shivering slightly in your sleep. Spencer had read a few books about eating disorders as a kid, when his mom first got really sick, he thought she might have one and read up on it to try and help her. But when he figured out his mother had Schizophrenia he stopped reading up on the topic.

But he recognized the signs in you as slept across from him on the plane. He knew it wasn't his job to save you but at the same time he felt like he needed to be the one to save you because he knew that in your mind your mind you were saving yourself, but in trying to save yourself you were killing yourself. When Reid had been on drugs you were the one to reach into his life and help him. Now it was his turn, he just needed to figure out how, he knew that this case would probably take up most of your time, seeing as you were a dedicated agent. When there was a case you threw yourself into it. He wouldn't be able to talk some sense into you over this case, he would either have to pull you away from the case or wait until after it was over.

His one hope was that it wouldn't be too late for you by the time the case was over. He could tell by the way you moved and how after you stood up you took a few moments too long to start walking that you were walking a dangerous line right now. You bumped into the table on the way out of the office, and now as Spencer watched you sleep he could see a bruise forming on your forearm. You barely bumped into the table but a bruise forming like that was a sure sign of later stages of anorexia.

Spencer fearing someone was watching his contemplative stare would try to figure out what he was looking at you for and draw attention to it. Something he knew could cause you go into a downward spiral, being publicly called out about this could damage you. Something Reid didn't want to happen, for he already thought you were just a little too fragile.

Once Upon a Time 1x10 “7:15 AM” Review

Reviews 1x01 1x02 1x03 1x04 1x05 1x06 1x07 1x08 1x09

Right off the bat I have to say that I loved the Enchanted Forest story between Snow and Charming, but I hated the Storybrooke storyline between them. The main reason for this is because Snow and Charming are actually married. We’ve seen the marriage. It opened up the series after Snow was woken up with True Love’s Kiss. I have no vested interest in David flailing around trying to decide between Kathryn and Mary Margaret because it’s not real and I doubt it will matter whenever the curse is broken. End rant.

Synopsis: In the Enchanted Forest Snow receives a letter from Charming telling her he loves her and he’ll call off his wedding for her. When Snow goes to tell Charming she loves him too, she is threatened by King George and ends up taking a forgetting potion to forget about Charming. In Storybrooke, Mary Margaret and David continue to try and ignore their attraction.

Opening: Hooded figure in the woods

While I don’t usually comment on the opening, anyone have any idea if that’s supposed to be Red or Snow? They both wear hoods in this episode, so it could be either.

Character Observations:

Snow/Mary Margaret: Snow just gets the brunt of everything this episode doesn’t she? We find out that it’s been at least a month since she met Charming and she’s obviously been thinking about him the whole time. She learns that his nuptials are happening in two days time and wishes she could get Charming out of her head. Red tells her about Rumplestiltskin. Snow apparently wants to go “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” on her memories of Charming, even though she only met him once and they fought the entire time (unless we just haven’t seen that part of their history yet). Snow contemplates taking the potion when a messenger dove comes by with a note from Charming saying that if he comes to the castle and tells him she loves him he’ll call off the wedding. So of course Snow sneaks into the castle and immediately gets captured by one of King George’s guards. I thought she was supposed to be pretty savvy at this point. Now she’s stuck in the castle prison, along with Grumpy and Snow tells him that she is in love and she won’t let anyone take that from her. Now, luckily, Stealthy the dwarf comes and rescues them, but they run into guards and Stealthy doesn’t make it, and Snow threatens to burn the castle down if they don’t let Grumpy go. Snow gets taken to King George and here is where it gets bad. Snow has to choose between her love for Charming or living without him, because George threatens to kill Charming if he leaves Abigail. Snow puts on a pretty strong face when rejecting Charming, but even he can see that she’s not telling the entire truth. Poor Snow cries as she leaves her love. She was possibly getting to live a normal life with Charming and now it’s been ripped away. No wonder she still takes the potion after Grumpy’s speech not to.

Mary Margaret has become a stalker. She waits for David at the diner every morning at 7:15 to watch him get coffee to go, for himself and Kathryn. And, as she tells Emma, she pretty much knows the rest of his schedule as well. Mary Margaret makes the comment that she wishes there was a magic cure to get over love. Oh the parallels. Then Mary Margaret discovers that Kathryn might be pregnant and that really upsets her. I’m sure this is why she gets overly invested in getting the trapped dove she discovers back to her flock. She is identifying too much with this poor dove who apparently will be lonely if she is separated from her migratory flock. So, since the dove is fine, Mary Margaret decides to go back out into the woods, despite the storm that is coming, and try and find the flock. And because of that storm, she gets spooked by lightning and falls down a ravine, where, luckily, David rescues her because he knew she’d be stupid enough to try and reunite the dove and it’s flock, so he followed her. I guess the stalking goes two ways. I mean, yay, Mary Margaret didn’t die falling into the ravine because David happened to be following her. And then of course we get one of the best rom com tropes; it starts raining and they happen to find an abandoned cabin that they have to seek shelter in. Mary Margaret basically admits her stalkerish tendencies to David and how she’s miserable and it’s painful to be around him. Then they almost kiss when David also admits to being a stalker. I guess these two really deserve each other. But then Mary Margaret remembers that Kathryn was buying a pregnancy test and she ends up telling David that his wife might be pregnant. Mary Margaret finally tells David they need to forget each other. The next day Mary Margaret decides to get her coffee at 7:45 instead of 7:15 and still runs into David, because he had the same idea to avoid Mary Margaret. Also, Kathryn isn’t pregnant. And so, like the two love struck idiots that they are, they decide to kiss, right in the middle of the street, where anyone can see them, especially Regina.

Charming/David: Charming is actually a pretty stand up guy in this episode. He knows what he wants (Snow) and what he doesn’t (Abigail). Even though he knows it could ruin the future of the kingdom, he would rather be happy and be with Snow than marry someone as a business arrangement. Even after George tells Charming to forget this other woman he loves, he still writes a letter to Snow telling her ‘not a day goes by that I’ve not thought of you’ and asks her to come to him so they can be together. Unfortunately, Snow breaks his heart instead due to George’s threats. We next see him going to Red’s cottage to find Snow, presumably to tell her he broke things off with Abigail. So even though Snow broke his heart, he is still going to find her because he believes they should be together.

David is the most infuriating character on this show. He tells Mary Margaret that he feels like he has two conflicting lives, one where he has memories of feelings for Kathryn and then his real feelings for Mary Margaret. I don’t know if it’s the curse that is preventing him from leaving Kathryn completely, but he can’t just tell Kathryn he’ll work on his marriage and then go and kiss Mary Margaret because he’s been stalking her. And even though he doesn’t seem to understand how he feels about Kathryn, he’s still sleeping with her if she thinks she might be pregnant. And Mary Margaret is trying to stay away from him, but David is not helping the situation. His backstory has been all about choices and that seems to be the one thing he can’t make when it comes to Mary Margaret and Kathryn.

The Stranger: We learn he has a way with words, and the reason for that is he happens to be a writer. That box on the back of his motorcycle, and old fashioned typewriter. I do like how he tells Emma that he might just torture her by never telling her what’s in the box while he carts it around town and to mysterious places until it drives her insane. Or Emma can agree to let him buy her a drink and he’ll tell her. Heh! He’s funny. We still don’t have a name for him. He tells Emma the town provides inspiration and Emma asks if he’s been there before, his response is “I didn’t say that.” He doesn’t seem to deal in yes or no answers, and he seems determined not to play his hand yet, whatever it may be.

Kathryn: What can I say about Kathryn. She’s trying to save her marriage. She feels like David isn’t really there, even though they’re obviously having a sexual relationship. She’s happy she’s not pregnant because their marriage is shaky. She suggests going to counseling to work on it. Ugh! Why did the curse have to make Kathryn so sweet?

Rumplestiltskin: Snow calls on him to get a forgetting potion. He goes on and on about how awful love is and how only the strongest potion can make you forget about it. Seems to me that someone is bitter about a past love. He takes Snow’s hair as payment. Hmmm. He also tells Snow he was looking forward to meeting her. Was this a premonition that he had about her or did her just hear through the grapevine that she was searching for him?

King George: He is a complete ass. I get that he’s trying to save his kingdom, but it feels more like he’s trying to save his lifestyle as opposed to his kingdom. He’s still throwing lavish balls and not trying to feed his kingdom. He’s banking on the treasures and riches he’ll get from Midas when Charming and Abigail get married. He has absolutely no love for Charming whatsoever. He is a bargaining chip. He even tells Snow that he would rather kill Charming rather than him leave Abigail, because if he’s assassinated, Midas would most likely still give the kingdom the money. Talk about cold-hearted. I wonder if George is still alive and roaming around Storybrooke.

Emma: She is tasked with two things this episode: making sure Mary Margaret stops stalking David, questioning the Stranger as to what he is doing in town. She flat out fails to keep Mary Margaret and David away from each other. But she does talk to the Stranger and at least finds out what’s in his box.

Regina: She’s not so meddlesome this episode. She asks Mary Margaret not to tell anyone that Kathryn has a pregnancy test because it’s their business. She wasn’t even rude about it. When she asks Emma to look into the Stranger, it’s out of genuine concern for Henry, not because no one should be able to get into Storybrooke. She actually seems sincere in this episode.

Grumpy: So while he’s not nearly as grumpy as his name implies, he does give Snow some great advice. He’s apparently in prison for falling pray to a diamond scam and ended up with stolen goods. He was trying to buy an engagement ring for his ex-girlfriend to win her back. He tells Snow that he wouldn’t erase it for anything as his pain is what makes him who he is. It makes him Grumpy. He invites Snow to stay with him and the other dwarfs.

Henry: Not necessarily the narrator this time around, but asking all the questions.

Questions:

Does Snow know Charming’s real name is James?

Does Snow live in a forest in King George’s kingdom?

When Rumplestiltskin talks about how awful love is, is he referring to his wife that supposedly left him, or has he found love since becoming the Dark One?

What does Rumplestiltskin want Snow’s hair for?

Where is Mary Margaret walking? It looks like the road that leads out of town. Why is she out in the middle of nowhere?

Whose cabin is that in the middle of the woods?

How did the Stranger find Storybrooke?

Why is the Stranger using an old typewriter instead of a laptop? Is it just for the mysteriousness?

Who is the Stranger? Has he been to Storybrooke before? Could he be from the EF and got here a different way?

How does burning hay and straw make an entire stone castle go up in flames? I wondered this in Desperate Souls as well, and here is Snow threatening to do the exact same thing.

How does Charming know where Red’s cottage is? Has he been there before with Snow?

Observations:

Snow is reading The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne in the diner.

Interesting putting Snow and Red as good friends. This seems to be a reference to another Grimm Fairy Tale, Snow-white and Rose-red, in which they are sisters.

Red delivers food stuff to Snow once a month.

King George’s castle is the one Snow and Charming live at in the Pilot.

Grumpy is whistling Heigh-Ho in the jail cell (he was whistling Whistle While You Work when we see him in a jail cell the first time in the Pilot).

The Stranger looks familiar to Regina.

The scene of Snow and the dwarfs is the same scene the Evil Queen saw in her mirror last episode. So now we know this took place at the same time as the Hansel and Gretel storyline.

I get that the writers wanted to parallel that Snow and Charming kind of went through the same thing Mary Margaret and David are going through, but they literally had almost the exact same storyline. The main difference being that Charming was willing to leave Abigail for Snow, whereas David isn’t willing to leave Kathryn. And I get that David is under a curse and for some reason under the curse he is unwilling to leave Kathryn, but it looks like David and Snow are now going be having an ‘affair’. The problem I have with this is that they aren’t really having an affair and I have no vested interest in David and Mary Margaret trying to resist their feelings because I know they are supposed to be together. And no matter how nice Kathryn is, I just want her to stop being blind and just kick David out already, or make up her mind that this marriage can’t be saved.

Please leave comments and reblog!

so to start off: holy shit. the energy of the entire show was amazing, it was really funny and fun and the acting/dancing/singing was on point like i cant think of a single complaint on the part of any of them.

less than thirty seconds in brittney mack made eye contact with me and i swear to god my heart stopped and i honestly had trouble focusing on the rest of the song

i am not exaggerating that is the whole truth and nothing but the truth

and idk what it was but that part just made me Lose It

adrianna had this way of making it all a little funnier?

like catherine is usually pretty Serious, i think but it felt like adrianna knew she was playing a character who was Like That, if you will, and was kinda leaning into breaking the fourth wall a little

i can probably elaborate if that doesnt make sense

you say its a pity cos quoting leviticus ill end up kiddiless all my life

she said that with such conviction goddamn

oh, he doesnt remember

this was so good

the “sh-”s were really funny

the fucking. i dont know what it is but the *ting*

holy shit

i cant put into words

how much i loved that part

the pause after “i’ll go” was............ expansive

i just checked it was 10 whole seconds

that doesnt sound long but it felt like forever

she went high on “end of my life” and thank u for mine adrianna hicks

the amount of no’s was impressive and im heart eyes for it

adrianna just had really good stage presence

like i caught myself looking at her during the dance breaks of all the songs when i wasnt looking at brittney

it was just so fun to watch her go!

dluh

during the intro of like “yeah, you know, the really important one” andrea was doing some Dumb Shit in the background

like i dont know exactly what it was but she was just like

idk like noodling around in the back

and i caught her eye and she like, smiled a little

the gasps the rest of them did were....... cute

then andrea busted out a full on fucking witches cackle

then she stuck her tongue out and looked like she was taking a selfie and it was so cute

like, her tongue was OUT

“not my thing” had the BIGGEST uwu energy of anything ive ever heard

i thought people were kidding when they said andrea boleyn had uwu energy

they were not

pret a manger barely came across as a real line it was more like, an experience

the sorry not sorry choreo. its so funny and cute and simultaneously cursed

the way andrea delivered her lines here was just

it was like, cutesy and fun but also kind of cursed

uwu

when she said “are you blind” andrea like, gestured to herself, in a like “look how hot i am” kinda way

which might be the standard? either way it made me laugh a lot

don’t be bitter/cos im fitter was the only line in the entire production said with a british accent and it fucking slayed me on sight one hit ko

i actually like that they changed “mate, what was i meant to do” to “wait, what was i meant to do” because

it implies that anne had no other train of thought than the one she was on and thats very funny to me

i think it fits w andreas portrayal too

everyone was like, fake crying when anne fake walked down the aisle and it was really funny imo

and as soon as she got to the end anne like, turned, yk?

bro just shut up

the entire audience gasped after that

andrea had actual like, panic on her face

then she led into “i guess he just really liked my head”

and there was a beat after that, where everyone laughed

it was long enough that everyone got the joke

then she mimed the blow job

her riff on “hell”? iconic

“wait, didnt you actually die” no jane she was beheaded but she was fine

abby seymour said dumbass rights she has the Dumbest Bitch energy god

“catherine of aragon had tragically died” catch adrianna looking like, yeah it was so sad for me, how terrible, right?

then boleyn goes off

the. fury, passion, anger, zest, contained in andreas “MASSIVE-”

“over my dead body” andrea gave her this look like, youre damn right it will be

heart of stone

oof

okay so the monologue

oof

“i was lucky. okay, i was really lucky” o o f

“edwina” is still cursed tho

i dont know what it was about this. i dont know if it was abby, or the dialogue, or just it being live but

this made it clear that jane had been Through It

like, this monologue came across (to me at least) as unquestionably a “woman who was abused trying to justify it to herself” kind of situation

“and that’s not because i was scared,” she said, wearing an absolutely terrified expression

this is where she started tearing up i think

okay i gotta take a moment here because

abby was fully crying before the song even started

like somewhere about halfway through her monologue she started tearing up

i was looking for it specifically

i wrote this before the last part so see above

so by the first fucking like of hos you could hear her voice breaking

holy shit ms meuller what the fuck

im not kidding who gave her the right

at the stagedoor she said that after this she was like, “well thats it for my makeup” when someone complimented her song

she is crying. the first chorus and she is actively crying. in the breaks between her lyrics you can hear her crying

abby went high on a couple of notes in here

she riffed on “truthfully” and it was, wow

she didnt go for the whistle tones which was, honestly? the most relatable thing in this entire show

but a couple of the other notes she went high on and they were so killer

there was a second or two of pause after the end where everyone just, absorbed things before the applause

i have some questions for abby about this actually because i dont know if its just because the monologue was different than im used to but

i just want to know if abby meant to have everything come off like That but god

the mental gymnastics jane is doing here are so intense

this performance genuinely changed how i listen to hos forever

i dont think i can ever peacefully listen to this song again

this song gave me so many layered emotions thank u abby mueller

haus of holbein

hans................................. *holbein*

the chaos

i honestly barely remember most of it it was

i had no idea who to be looking at

but i remember it being beautiful

i dont have the words to express how

fucking funny it was

the accents were hilarious

like they werent great german accents, but that made it far better

they were leaning into the ridiculousness of it all

the way abby said “but we cannot guarantee that you’ll still walk at forty” had me on the ground

ive spent the last 24 hrs trying to figure out exactly why it was so funny and i think i got it

she dropped the german accent

and she straight up sounded like she was reading off the side effects of a pharmaceutical ad on tv

the freeze frame? legendary

anna and courtney (im pretty sure?) managed to look so genuinely offended that henry swiped left on them

your highness your highness your highness

god adrianna please

actually every h sound that came out of their mouths

but adrianna Got It

get down

oh god i gotta talk about “didnt live up to his expectations”

brittney like, half took off her jacket and gestured to her body and like, body rolled a bit and honestly? i was fucking dead

the sarcasm really jumped out here. brittney went off in the best way possible

she was fully fake sobbing right before “tragic”

fucking legend

brING me some pheasant!

the woof line is always a good moment but their facial expressions really made it work here

this song has the most outwardly complex choreo (ofc i cant speak to its actual difficulty) and every single one of them crushed it

brittney made eye contact w me again on “looking cute” and im deceased

oh god after “take my fur” she whispered “thank you. honestly” and gestured to herself again and like, i was dying

iirc brittney was like, skipping across the stage or something on “i look more rad” and snapped into position for “lutheranism”

we gotta take a moment to appreciate the operatic talent of that one “get down you dirty rascal” instead of the slo mo

like, ofc the slo mo is a good moment but

brittney went full opera and it was,

wow

shes got a voice on her holy shit

so much talent in such a tiny body

aCHYEAH

she picked the person sitting next to me to dance w her and

they did their cute little dance thing and then brittney gestured like, go sit down, and the person did, then stood back up and started dancing again

not like, in a bad way i dont think

it was super fuckin funny and after the song brittney was like “oh that was cute you think youre funny”

but i heard them talking at the stagedoor and like, brittney was chill it wasnt like a violation of anything

im not explaining it very well but it was really funny in person

everything about her on stage was just, so enrapturing

i dont have too many specific notes about this song because it would probably turn into just, me being gay, which is enough of this already

anyway! get down was good brittney mack is a stellar cleves

her fake crying is next level tho

the confrontation

boleyn, unprompted: i lost my head!

the beheaded cousins high fived after “nice neck” and like, stuck out their necks a bit it was so funny

seymours “i died”

we all know abby is gonna kill her line delivery

but GOD

and then after, she like, realized what she had said and struck a pose like, shit please still think im regal

the line itself was actually pretty, uhhhh, sad

theres something about boleyn roasting khoward in andreas voice

courtney with that “and your songs” had perfect timing

also “when will justice be SERVED” had such good punch to it

after she did that she like

rubbed her hand on janes face

and abby looked SO offended

theres something so, sincere about courtneys delivery of her roasts that i hadnt been getting and its SO much funnier to me

i forget exactly where but at some point boleyn aragon and howard were arguing

and in the background it really looked like seymour and cleves were having a normal conversation and i lost it like. they were just chattin

there were a couple moments of like, cleves and seymour interacting and it was interesting

aywd

courtney! mack! took! no! prisoners!

jesus christ

okay so i dont know if other howards do this or if it was just because i was seeing it live and up close and that made the difference but

for me the most compelling part of this howard was the fear

like yes there was the sadness/anger/etc like there was good emotion but

from the “he says we have a connection” re: henry, and then on, everything about courtneys body language just screamed that she was afraid

idk i might expand on this in a separate post because its a darker topic but yeah. holy shit that was emotional

not a single person clapped after the last line. they all waited until after “yeah, and then i was beheaded” before clapping

like the theater was dead silent. DEAD silent

it was like, so haunting because it was just courtney on stage at that point, with just the white spotlight on her, it was a Moment

im not sure i have the heart right now to get too deep into this

if it would be particularly interesting to anyone feel free to ask, im happy to get more into it but idk its just Emotional

actually this is already so long ima go for it

so on each “we have a connection” it was uhhhh parr and aragon (i think) who each put a hand on like, her clavicle

and for the first two verses she grabbed one of the hands and was like, flirty? ig

but on the one about henry seymour also put a hand around her waist and she like

she freaked out

and listening back to the audio i can

unpopular opinion perhaps but the actual emotion of her on stage didnt come thru in the audio

because it was so physical

like you could see how scared she was

which made it more relateable to me honestly

like she looked so so scared

it was heartbreaking

the confrontation part ii

oh BOOH OO MISTERESSES

“okay catherine, babes” is CUTE fight me

anna looked like, progressively more concerned as that beat went on, and then she just kinda like, deflated? it was really funny tbh

idk her parr feels Different than the parr im used to

during “oh im catherine parr i draw the line in arbitrary places” courtney was playing with her hair it was hashtag cute

BACKING VOCALS RIP CATHY PARR

idnyl

a cute little b flat major 7

yeah anna parr seems

hmm

she seems like she’s just, over henry

like from the start she just has no time for him

idk im Conceptualizing

anna uzele is

her voice is next level

she put survived in the “got married to the king became the one who survived” in air quotes which i think is an interesting note

anna got really physically into the “remember that...” bit of it and everyone in the back was also having a good time with it it was Good

andrea. she stuck her pointer finger between two of her other fingers on her other hand for the “my sixth finger” line and it was SO funny

khoward keeping aragon in line was

not the hot take i was expecting but nevertheless the one we deserved

both for “dissolution of the monasteries” and “well actually”

idk it was a cute character moment

one of *unsure, disgusted, vaguely annoyed* siiiIIIiix

abby was right in front of me and she looked SO uncomf

yeah, i read

iconique

andrea like, threw her head back for this line

the pause after “theres not much we can do about it now” is

painfully long and so so so funny

i was only really looking at brittney but she was like, arms down head up no body language it was SO funny

also her “yeah?” ended my life

she raised the mic up to her mouth while not moving an inch of the rest of her body

the part where they get all meta. has me dead

it was about halfway through this second part that i realized cleves had her coat back. i dont know when that happened. if anyone else knows when exactly anna of cleves gets her coat back after it gets taken off in get down please tell me. i genuinely want to know

this actually distracted me

i got vibes that they genuinely hated henry during this part

first off, mood

secondly, good

annas riffing. god.

she is so talented

dsfjksdf they all straight up left

six

the opening moment is really sweet and kinda funny

abby again killing it with janes cursed lines

courtney howard is actually so cute

when shes not being heartbreakingly sad that is

like her “bye!” was so cute

theyre all so supportive of each other its very cute

megasix

adrianna and abby both looked into my camera and like, i died

at the end anna and brittney were doing some dumb shit as they walked off stage and it was SO cute

after the show

i went to the stagedoor and it was a really fun experience! ive never done that before

it seemed like everyone was being pretty respectful and stuff, thank u six fans for being sane

i got four signatures on my program dklfjsldfjds

abby was such a sweetheart, we actually talked a tiny bit

i told her i loved her line delivery (because uhhhhhh i do) and she said that she tries to get in that comedic timing when she has Those Lines and like yeah

she was seriously the nicest

the ladies in waiting came out as well and everyone cheered for them and lets be real they DESERVE it

lemme sidebar here actually and talk about the ladies in waiting because

they killed it

bessie on the bass was living her best life at literally all times

brittney was also super sweet! i told her she had good energy (because uhhhhhh she does) and she was very nice about it!!!

i didnt really talk to anna or andrea but i got their signatures!

also speaking of my program im still losing my mind over “remembered for: headlessness” and “remembered for: staying alive”

thank u sixcago program

in conclusion! this was such a great+special experience!!! all of the actors were incredible, it was so wonderful

im also not claiming any of this stuff was unique to this performance or to sixcago in general this was just the stuff i noticed as i was watching it. if you clown on this post ill end u

#six the musical #sixcago #**#i typed up no way dluh idnyl and the after show part in a daze as soon as i got back #i got more of it filled in later and then i kinda lost steam #and im filling in the last bit almost a day later so yeah thats why some of its Like That #i ran out of energy for six/megasix but im not sure when ill get the energy so #and also this is Long as Fuck #and i have even more thoughts re: the cast and their portrayals #esp vs the west end cast portrayals
