Anon you’re officially a dearest peace of heart for sending this my way. 1 minute in and I’m genuinely laughing my ass off. All the shade and constant bombastic side eyes at Louis terrible choices bulldozing thru all those massive amount of red flags, the sheer refusal to call Lestat by his name smoothly referring to him as Lioncourt, “White Vampire”, “Elsie”, “Levi” etc. so interchangeably yet I’m not confused whatsoever as to who their referring to lmao

Pls check out Olurinatti’s channel, her Recap is a riot!

(18+ minors "dni") ;)

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

After getting this years  schedule  you make your way down the large hallways of Everleaf High feeling like a cliché Disney bi**h looking up and down as you count down the numbers on the doors. 

"425..424..423..422..421.. and - "

Before you can finish your whispering

" last name " 

You look up and see a younger white male with platinum bond hair and dark brown eyes and the most beautiful pink lips ( the face kind ya nasties) you count the wrinkles in his forehead as he waits for you answer with a smile. 

" oh um my bad you reminded me of someone I saw on TikTok but (y/ln) " 

The teacher sucks air through his teeth in a rhythmic pattern  while he searches for your last name.. "ah found it luv."

The moment you hear the word luv seep from his lips your entire body melts and you get a slight bo*er. In that moment  which was only a second you imagine all of the thing you would do and let that man do to you if he weren't your teacher. 

 You snap out of your fantasy and beging to walk in when he calls your name 

"Hey y/n.. Danny ? "

"Huh" you say confused still high off pure lust 

" the person I remind you of.. is it Danny"

"OH YEAH that's him" you burst into a chuckle which is very abruptly ended when you hear his voice. A voice that makes you shake to your core. A voice that makes EVERY SINGLE BONE IN YOUR BODY ache with pain. 

" WHAT THE F**K IS SO FUNNY YOU F*G BAG " 

" fuc***g Issac" you say to your self as you put your stuff down at the desk that the black girl with the locs called you to sit at. 

       " ISSAC,"you say with a sigh "How can someone who claims to hate me so bad be so fu***ng obsessed with me." As you say this  you get closer and closer to him slowly changing your voice and posture from argumentative to seductive and sexy. " I mean I know that when ever I come into the room your little friend starts to.. jump .. In your pants  but come oon if you want me all you have to do is say it. No need to put on this tough boy act in front of your little friends." You turn to his friend Jax on the right and wink at him before you turn around and walk back to your seat as the whole class including the teacher watches as Issac just sits  in silence with a shadow of anger hidden embarrassment over his eyes. 

    " I KNEW I WAS RIGHT TO ASK YOU TO SIT NEXT TO ME" the girl from earlier says with the biggest smile on her face showing off all of her dimples. " Somali nice to meet you." She stands up and holds out both of her hands. 

Pulling you into a hug " Y/N"  say when you finally pulled away from the hug. 

   The rest of the period was pretty much just going over the syllabus, and what the class was going to be like.

Although having so much fun, talking to your new friend Somali, you can't help but feel the intensive gaze of his eyes.

Lifetime of Moments

Pairing: Non-idol!Anton x reader

Length: 1,886 words Genre: fluff, slight angst

Warning: not edited, very long, children*, major character death

Synopsis: Anton retells the story of him and his life partner through the important moments of their time together

Note: this is heavily inspired by the movie 'A man named Otto'. * I don't mention pregnancy or bringing children back from the hospital to ensure gender neutrality and be inclusive. I also use the abbreviation P/T to stand for Parental Term. But I wanted to give a warning either way for people.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

"I'm sorry!" a voice rushed out, the owner not sparing a look back towards Anton. They seemed to be in a rush, a book falling out of their arms.

"Oh! You dropped your book." Anton called out but it seemed as the person couldn't hear him. The boy picked up the book and ran after its reader. Luckily, Anton hadn't lost them in the small crowd of people. He reached out to tap their shoulder as they stopped at a cross walk. "Hey, you dropped this back in the cafe." he explained as he handing the item over. The two's figures brushing over one another's.

"Thank you!~ I'm halfway through and I would hate not knowing how it ends," They smiled at Anton, looking into his eyes. And he swears that they were the prettiest person that he's ever seen. "You're my hero! Is there a chance that I could get your name?" they inquired, beginning to rock back and forth on their heels. "Mine's Y/N".

"I'm Anton. Lee Anton." He replied, returning a shy smile of his own.

"Well, it was nice meeting you Anton. Maybe we'll see each other again one day" Y/N said. Anton was enamored with the way his name came out of their mouth. They gave him a thumbs up before crossing to the other side of the street, weaving their way through the mass of people.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

Anton began hanging around the cafe more often after his encounter with Y/N. It wasn't just because he wanted to see them again, it was convenient cause the cafe was close to Anton's college and gym. The perfect spot to wait for classes and get something before practice. If Anton happened to bump into you there then that was a bonus.

He was waiting in line when he received a tap on his shoulder. "I thought that was you, Anton." Y/N said giving the male in front of them a big grin.

"Hi, Y/N" he greeted breathily, Y/N looked breath-taking despite wearing a hoodie and sweats. Anton admittedly was surprised that they had remembered him and his name.

"I'm sorry for rushing off without properly thanking you last time. Let me make it up to you," Y/N told him. Anton began shaking his head in protest. It wasn't a big deal to him and he was happy just knowing that they remembered him. "Nonsense, let me take you to dinner. It's the least I could do for my hero" They cut off any of Anton's protest as they pulled out a notebook. He watched them write a series of numbers before then ripping the page. "That's my number, we can discuss where and when later."

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

Anton paid his fair before quickly leaving the cab. He was running behind but he hopefully hadn't kept them waiting long. Anton had texted you but he hadn't checked his phone for a response. A breathe of relief left him at the sight of Y/N waiting outside the agreed upon restaurant. "I'm glad you're still here!"

"I told you, I was taking you out. If anything I should've been worried that you were gonna bail." They responded opening the door for the male. The place seemed relatively fancy but not so that eating would break the bank. "I hope you're into Italian food, Mr. Anton cause this is the fanciest I can afford" Y/N joked as the pair walked into the restaurant. Anton felt so comfortable in Y/N's presence, he was able to joke and laugh freely with them. It was as if he could talk with them for hours.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

Anton felt like he was on cloud 9 and was buzzing from the energy in the crowd. The male had broken a personal record at the swim meet just minutes before. He and Y/N walked hand-in-hand out of the stadium. "Anton," Y/N pulled him to the side, away from the crowd. They took both of his hands in theirs and swung them between the pair. "Will you marry me?" They asked the man in front of them. "We've been together for 4 years, and I know I love you and want to be together with you for the rest of my life." Y/N continued, rubbing circles on the back of Anton's hands.

Anton pulled them into a hug, bringing their heads together. "Of course, I want to marry you" he responded.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

"This is the last one" Y/N said as they set the last box down.

"And now it's officially our place" Anton said back as he wrapped his arms around them. Y/N hummed in agreement and leaned back onto their husband. "Imagine what it'll be like once we're all settled in." The pair swayed as they took a break before they'd begin unpacking.

"Where should we start first? The Kitchen...The Living Room?" Y/N asks turning to face the male. "The bedroom?" They continued as they jokingly wiggled their eyebrows at Anton. He laughs and plants a kiss onto their forehead.

"Let's start in the bedroom and then work towards the kitchen and living room" The male proposes. The duo separate and begin unpacking the boxes.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

Ushering in, the pair quietly and tiredly walked through the door. Y/N makes their way towards the couch and sets the baby carrier down. They take out their son and place him in the bouncer. Anton joins after putting their bags into the couple's laundry room. "He's so small and precious" Y/N whispers as they looked over their child.

"He's all ours to love" Anton responds bringing his partner closer to his side. Sniffling was heard making the male turn. "Why are you crying?" Anton asked as he wiped their tears away. "Are you okay?" He continued with worry in his voice.

"I'm okay" They nodded, sniffling some more. "We have a baby. We're parents." Y/N says taking Anton's hands in theirs.

The male laughed "Yeah, we sure are". He pulled his partner into a hug.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

"How was the zoo, you guys?" Y/N asked as Anton and the boys walked in. They got an arm full of Teo, their oldest son, once he was fully inside.

"P/T we saw so many animals. And there was even an animal that was like Kori. It stayed on its parent's back" He tells you excitedly about the animals the three saw at the zoo.

"A Koala" Anton informed the young boy as he took his second son out of their sling. "Did you tell P/T about your favorite exhibition yet?" He asks the toddler as he lets the baby onto the play mat. Anton walks over to his partner, giving them a peck on the lips despite Teo's protest.

"Appa! You can't give P/T a kiss before I give them one!" the young boy says pushing his dad away. Teo wrapped his tiny arms around his other parent and begins placing kisses on their face. Laughter came out from the adult couple at the toddler's actions.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

Anton turns and reaches out to his partner's side. He opens his eyes when he doesn't feel anything. The male gets up out of the bed, puts his house shoes on and begins looking around their home. Anton checks on the boys' room after looking in the bathroom and the kitchen-living room combo with no avail. Teo and Kori are both deep asleep with tiny snores coming out of their mouth. He closes the door softly then proceeds to the nursery. There he finds Y/N in the rocking chair with their youngest June. Anton lets out a sigh of relief upon the sight. He walks towards his partner and their child. "Y/N, come back to bed. Let's put Junie back in her crib" The male whispers rubbing their back.

"Did I fall asleep?" Y/N asks groggily with a confused look on their face. Anton nods as he helps them get up from the rocking chair. The duo quietly set June back in her crib, double checking the monitor before heading out of the room. He rubs Y/N's back as the couple walk back to their room. They get into the bed and Anton cuddles into his partner. Now he can fall back asleep knowing that all of his family is safe.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

Y/N and Anton sit outside, enjoying the fresh evening air. "It's quiet, isn't it?" Y/N says after a moment. "With all of the kids officially out, it's quiet" They continued as they sipped their tea.

"It's odd, right? We haven't had a quiet moment to yourselves since we brought Teo home" Anton says with a laugh. He grabs his partner's hand, over the years they've both gained wrinkles.

"Should we call them?" Y/N jokes and the duo laugh. With a sigh, Y/N continues "I understand how our parents felt when we moved out".

Anton hums before shaking his head. "No, we can bother them some other time. Let's just enjoy the silence for now."

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

Anton held his partner's hand as they laid in the bed. The low hum of the machines in the background. "Anton..." Y/N spoke lowly, their voice sounded parched and croaky.

"Yes, Y/N?" He responded with his full attention. Anton gripped tighter at his spouse's hand with love in his eyes.

"I don't want to leave you and the kids. We were supposed to be together for the rest of our lives." Y/N said looking into Anton's eyes. He tries to interrupt but they stop him from speaking. "I'm sorry Anton. I'm gonna have to leave first" they continued before turning to their children. "Take care of your Appa for me. I love you, my babies and I'm so proud to have raised the three of you. You've all done such great things with your life, and I know you'll continue to do so." Y/N tells them before a coughing fit starts.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

"Y/N was the love of my life. There was no one else like them. I pretty much fell in love with them as soon as I first met them." Anton pauses with a sigh and chuckle.

"Mr. Lee, that sweet. Did you think you'd end up dating and marrying them too?" the home nurse asked the elderly man.

"No," He shook his head "I didn't. I always thought of myself as a lucky man to be with them. I was just happy that Y/N wanted to be around me." Anton says with a smile on his face. The home nurse also smiled at the man's statement.

"I wish that I can have a love like yours one day, Mr. Lee" She tells him. She's had been helping take care of the elderly man for a few years now. She had seen the pictures and heard a few stories but today she asked about Mr. Lee's love life with his spouse. The home nurse listened and watched as the man eyes and voice were full of love as he spoke about his life partner. Anton laughs and smiles as he wishes the home nurse luck. "Do you miss them, Mr. Lee?" she asks with curiosity.

Anton hums and nods before answering "Everyday".

One day, someone will realize Inej's dad value in her story... not today, though 😔

[loumandforyou]

Early 80s Armand senses that Daniel wants something more than what he can offer. A career —he is brilliant at it after all—, children, some sense of normality. Maybe they are just fleeting thoughts. Maybe they are fed by Armand's insecurities. But if he doesn't let Daniel go, his beautiful boy will never have the chance to have these things. So he wants to give him the chance. Maybe a part of Daniel understands this, too. They break up. Only Daniel can't let go. He keeps coming back, he tries to find his high elsewhere. He gets a girl pregnant in 1985 that he actually likes, he has to get his shit together. But she is not Armand, no one and nothing else can make him feel the same way (or is it just the blood he craves?), so he goes back to him, high again, more reckless. For Armand it seems that Daniel is going to end up losing himself in the drugs, overdosing, dying. He can turn him, of course, it will fix the problem. Only... there is another way. He makes him forget — and it is okay, Armand always knew how to be the keeper of memories that pained him. Daniel has nothing to grieve about, no other life he could have had to miss. He goes to rehab. It works this time. He proposes to real Alice, his pregnant girlfriend, he sort of loves. She sort of loves him too. Their normal human life begins. He will be happy, happier than he would have been if he remembered, happier than he ever was with Armand. Of course he will be. And so on.

That's all folks?

Hey trans people, especially trans kids of immigrants; how did you come out to your parents? I'm trying to get advice since every source I've read online has been the aftermath and not the actual process

[bastardlybonkers]

re: ur post about toshiro and laios - i humbly offer this panel of laios completely misunderstanding the way izutsumi eats isn't an 'eastern thing', cuz hes not used to it

a good panel to bring up 👆 laios is a great example of a well meaning white person who ends up making micro agressions and racist generalizations without realizing because hes ignorant and very underexposed to any cultures other than his own. i mean hell both he and falin are extremely racist about 'the mountain people'

and much like theyre racist towards the nomadic people, kabru is racist towards kobolds due to him conflating them with monsters. tbh i think every character in dunmeshi exhibits some sort of racial bias at least once, which can be hard for fans to deal with, as i think most people are unused to racism being one of the major character flaws in their favs. unfortunately, when writing a story that is implied to take place in an earlier time period, or hell even just writing a story period, you cant really ignore racism as part of your worldbuilding, especially if, like kui, youre using it to make a point.

tldr everyone in dunmeshi is kinda racist in one way or another and it is a deliberate choice on kuis part, because she wanted to portray both real-world tensions through a fantasy lense and flesh out her own world with realistic tensions that would build in its history. if you are ignoring that the characters are racist then you are missing the point

also, im saying all this as a white person myself, so please Please do not think that im the only person talking about this. there are many poc, both in the replies/tags of my post and in posts of their own, who have made similar points to me and brought up things i havent touched on and you should absolutely read their takes as well

Thinking about the latin american influences in atsv and how they added a lot more as a result of highlighting Miles' relationship w his mom

Thinking about the Spanglish and the platanos and empanadas

Thinking about all of the family members up on that rooftop party

Thinking about how after Rio's heartfelt speech to Miles looking across the New York landscape and how she pours her heart out to him to let him know how loved and supported he is

Thinking about how Miles' final response is to ask for a blessing

"bendicion" "que dios te bendiga" bro those are words I hear daily from family members and to have that as a conclusion to a scene like that made me tear up

Thinking about how Miles who was worried and intimidated about meeting Miguel thought he'd use the solidarity and talk in his broken accented Spanish

And Miguel, albeit annoyed, responds

Thinking how Miles in a world where he's raised solely by his mother is more comfortable introducing himself with his last name said in that Spanish accent (that imo is how he should say it regardless)

i’m reading a multi chaptered fic and suddenly the pov changed in chapter 6 and it’s made me want to close the fic so badly oops. and it’s just reminded me of how much i love romance stories (books and fics) that have only one pov and how rare that is in the romance book world because readers seem to love dual povs romance books.

OC: Thanea Wächter

I learned to become as invisible as the creatures were for all the others. I didn't tell anyone anything about the beings anymore. Until I met you.

Pronouns: she/her

Age: 25

Species: Human (??)

Occupation: Librarian at a university

Thanea learned early on that she seems to be the only human who can see behind the veil that hides the supernatural. Neither her parents nor her brother do. In school she got bullied a lot and sent to therapy by her parents for seeing/imagining things.

At some point she stopped wondering why she had this connection with magical creatures and just accepted it, trying to live in line with both worlds. She became very reserved and wary of humans, tries to not let them too close in fear that at some point the instances where she can't hide her ability will drive them away again - or worse.

But she's also naturally curious so when Nevras shows up with the possibility to find out more about herself she can't say no.

Aeternum WIP intro

[al9ayf]

ᥫ᭡ 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 | abby anderson x f!reader

｡˚ summary: abby thinks you’re the most perfect woman in the world until one night she comes face to face with the worst version of you.

｡˚ word count: 5.09k

｡˚ a/n: haven’t written in a while so sorry if this isn’t the best!

｡˚ content warning(s) :: general nsfw, mentions of cheating

abby laid on top of her messy covers, looking up at the wooden planks above her where random boxes sat. she was still in her clothes and messy braid, but it didn’t matter. she wasn’t trying to fall asleep, no. she laid down on the mattress to dive deep into her thoughts. to sit in her solitude in complete silence just to think about one thing…

you.

the way you walk. the way you talk. the way you style your hair and clothes. everything that you do is complete perfection in abby’s eyes. she was almost envious of the way you live your life, but also in complete awe of it. whenever she sees you all she can see is perfection. there was no better word to describe you, and she knew that other people felt the same way. you’ve only been in the WLF for a little over a year, but you proved yourself to be one of the greatest members of the organization. everybody knows who you are.

abby shut her eyes as she let out a deep breath. you shouldn’t be on her mind this much or it will end up killing her. the thought didn’t bother her much though. she sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed, holding her head in her hands as she supported her arms on her knees. she really needs to stop thinking about you and your goddamn perfect self so much.

keys jingled at the door, and once it unlocked she heard two people stumble in. abby opened up her eyes and turned her head to see her roommate and close friend manny making out with none other than you at the doorway. her cheeks turned a bright red as she sat there in complete silence and shock. what the fuck were you doing with manny? and how the fuck did he manage to convince you to sleep with him? you pulled manny inside and he slammed the door shut behind the two of you. his hands were on your waist, riding your shirt halfway up your chest. abby could see your black bra and matching thong. her face was bright red at this point.

manny pinned you against the wall, and as you two continued making out, you opened up your eyes for a quick second to see that abby was in the room with you. when your eyes locked she felt her heart skip a beat. you smiled against manny’s lips as you pulled away from him; your full attention now being on abby sitting there watching the two of you have at it.

“care to join, anderson?” you call out, winking at her. your voice is sultry and smooth. hearing her last name roll off of your tongue made abby feel some type of way. she stood up from her bed and laughed awkwardly.

manny turned around, still holding you by the waist as he made eye contact with abby. he smiled. “ah, abby!” he exclaimed in his thick-accented voice. “didn’t see you there!”

“you’re sucking each other's faces off, no wonder why you didn’t see me,” abby joked, leaning against her bed frame. there’s a hint of jealousy in her voice that you don’t seem to catch, but manny does. he only smirks wider at the sound of her tone. you stay silent though as you watch her face contort into different expressions. your gentle but seductive gaze keeps a hold on her. she wants to stare back, but she only throws a glance your way before excusing herself to leave the two of you to yourselves.

abby exits onto the balcony and lets out a deep breath she’s been holding in ever since she saw you enter that room. your lipgloss was slightly smeared, and the image of your slightly disheveled clothes and random strands of hair kept crossing her mind whenever she closed her eyes. still, you looked perfect.

“i need a drink…” abby muttered to herself.

—

abby came back to the balcony half an hour later with a half-empty beer from manny’s stash that she knew he had hidden from her. his stash was always easy to find and always in the dumbest of places. she leaned against the railings and looked out towards the horizon. mostly all she saw was the baseball stadium, but she did enjoy looking at the moon and stars every once in a while.

the door behind her opened, and abby turned around to come face-to-face with you in manny’s shirt. she gulped when you smiled at her, but she quickly gave a slight smile back. as she turned around to look back out, you came up next to her and looked at what she was holding.

“oh, fuck yes,” you said, grabbing her shoulder. “where did you get the beer from?”

her cheeks turned red again at your touch. it was so embarrassing for abby. this feeling was new. this feeling was something she never had around owen. when she turned to look at you, and into those e/c eyes of yours, it only made her hate this feeling more. but she snapped out of it, and cleared her throat immediately. “manny’s stash… want some?” she asked, handing it to you. “i already had one before i came back.”

you smirked and grabbed it from her. abby watched as you took small sips, savoring the taste you so long forgot. it wasn’t the best beer, but fuck it was beer! without wanting to prude, you quickly handed the drink back to abby and wiped away the excess liquid around your mouth with your fingers.

“thanks,” you said. “i really needed that.”

abby laughed a little. “why? is manny that bad?”

you couldn’t help but chuckle at the joke and shake your head. abby felt a bit of pride when she made you laugh; when she made the most perfect woman in the world laugh. you sighed and leaned against the railing. abby took a second to quickly check you out. perfect body, perfect legs, perfect arms… you were the whole package. and the thought of you not wearing anything under that shirt made her red again.

“think you could be better than him?” you asked, looking at her.

she scoffed. “oh, i know i’m better than manny.”

“really? i see…”

it was your turn to check her out. seeing how massive her strong arms were and how she presented herself to be this independent, strong woman. it kinda turned you on a little. abby turned her head to lock eyes with you again, and you took the time to really make her blush as you smirked. she always cracked underneath your gaze.

“i’ll have to judge for myself,” you said, moving away from the railing.

abby didn’t say anything smart back. she stood there in absolute silence and shock. you, the y/n, blatantly flirting with her and even implying sleeping with her. she shook her head and looked back out at the stadium as she heard the door open and close again. it had to be a joke, of course. but abby didn’t know. she didn’t know anything when she is with you. she inhaled sharply and shut her eyes. fuck you and your perfect jokes.

she headed back inside only to stop in her tracks a few feet in when she saw you putting your pants back on. your bare back was towards her as you reached down to grab your shirt and slip it back on. “you really do love to stare, abby.” you said, turning around to look at her. she forced herself to not look at your nipples showing through the shirt and instead focus looking right at you.

“can’t help myself when you’re constantly doing things that catch my attention,” she flirted, walking toward you. “making out with my best friend and then being shirtless right in front of me sure catches my eye.”

you smirked. “you’re a flatterer.”

you bent down and grabbed your bra, throwing it at her. abby grabbed it which flustered her. “a gift for manny to remember the best night of his life,” you said, walking to the door. “… or maybe you can keep it.”

“y/n—“

you cut abby off as you opened the front door. “see you around, anderson.”

you shut the door behind you, and abby paid attention to the sound of your footsteps walking away from the door until it was the sound of silence that soon embraced her. manny got up from his bed after pretending to be asleep just to listen in on their conversation. he started laughing at abby which only made her mad and throw your bra at him.

“you have a crush on the señorita, huh!” he exclaimed.

“whatever dude, just shut the fuck up!” yelled abby, walking back over to her bed.

—

after last night, abby yet again was up the whole night thinking about you and how you still managed to look perfect after getting fucked. the thought of it sent shivers down her spine. after getting breakfast in the cafeteria with manny and heading over to the armory to get their guns for their assignment, abby couldn’t help but shake this uneasy feeling off. the way manny was a bit too happy about something other than having sex with you last night made her think he was up to something.

when she went to go grab the keys for the truck, the man at the desk told her that you had already got it for them a few minutes ago. abby snapped her head to look at a smirking manny.

“are you crazy?” she asked, walking up next to him.

“maybe, but you need to resolve this little crush you have with her. i’m tired of you fangirling over y/n from a distance,” manny said, running off to the trucks.

abby turned the corner to see you standing there swinging the keys around with alice by your side. manny grabbed them from your hands and said that he wanted to drive with alice in the front with him. so it was only you and abby in the back. she internally facepalmed and the two of you got into the backseats of the truck, sitting in front of each other.

she at first avoided your lingering gaze on her. after what you said to her last night, looking at you again will just make her all red. yet here you were looking irresistible again. with your pretty clothes and your pretty hair—the way you were sitting with one leg crossed over the other as you leaned back on both arms. your eyes sultry staring into her soul. she inhaled sharply and caught a whiff of your perfume. oud; strong and sexy. abby wondered for a second where you even got it from.

“so,” you started, looking away from her. you peered up into the bright blue sky with no clouds. “who ended up with my bra?”

“who do you think did?” she asked, looking at you. you smiled and shut your eyes in thought.

“hmm… realistically, manny.” you said, looking back at her.

“actually it’s abby’s now because i stuffed it in one of her drawers while she was asleep,” said manny. you busted out laughing and even clutched your shirt when your chest started hurting. abby rolled her eyes.

“how did manny even convince you to sleep with him, anyway?” she asked in an irritated voice.

you stopped laughing and slowly dropped your smile. abby waited for your answer, but you didn’t seem to have one. so you two sat there, staring at each other quietly and in awkward silence for a little while.

“i wanted to try something new,” you said. “and sleeping with manny is something new.”

“get the fuck out of here,” abby laughed, shaking her head.

“hey! do i need a reason to sleep with somebody?”

“she doesn’t want to admit that i’m hot!” yelled manny.

you laughed again, which made abby smile. you uncrossed your legs and leaned forward towards abby. her heart started beating faster when your head inched closer every few seconds.

“i like you, anderson…” you said. “i hope you don’t mind me sticking around for a while.”

she liked you back, but way more than just a friend. abby has true feelings for you. feelings that she feared you may never reciprocate. nonetheless, she leaned in closer to you too, and held her small smile.

“never.”

—

for the next few months, you and abby got closer to each other. every time she saw you she never thought you could be more perfect each time. you were eye-catching, show-stopping, and mesmerizing. every move that you did made abby watch you like a hawk. and the constant flirting didn’t make it any better. she never knew if you were actually going to make a move or not. each word and action you did was so calculated and perfect.

whenever abby saw you she gained more courage and the balls to try to be more flirtatious and open. you were noticing her efforts but still said nothing about it. it was almost like you were the hawk now watching her. but fuck, she loved the tease. it was obvious but subtle that you were playing hard to get. all abby wants to do is be with you, and since it was so obvious, you knew what she was doing. but still, you made no advancements.

one day, while sitting on your couch together in your room, abby finally decided to make a move. after months of flirting and suggestive looks, she couldn’t handle it any longer.

when the mood was settled and the time was right, abby placed a hand on your thigh. it caught your attention, and you turned your head to give her a confused look. but when you saw that look in her eyes, the same look you had given her that night when you slept with manny, you knew that she basically wanted to fuck you right then and there on that couch.

you shifted in your seat more towards her and smiled. “are you going to do anything or just continue staring at me with those pretty eyes?” you asked.

abby smiled and looked away. “shut up…” she said, turning to look back at you.

you two started leaning toward each other, but the sound of knocking at your door caught you both off guard. you rolled your eyes and got up from the couch. “just a sec!” you yelled. you looked at abby with a frustrated expression on your face. she only laughed as she told you to get the door so you two can continue where you left off. it left you smiling as you walked to your door to open it up.

abby stood up from the couch and turned the corner to see who was there. she was met with a man smiling down at you, calling you “baby” as he embraced you in his big arms. it crushed her—seeing you being hugged and kissed by a man who could only be your boyfriend. and she thought you were single… you slept with manny. you were about to kiss her. what the fuck?

the moment you opened your front door your heart dropped to the floor. you weren’t expecting your boyfriend to come randomly. he never did this. but fuck, with abby here? and when he kissed your lips full of passion and love, you stood there with wide eyes and nervousness running through your body. fuck. fuck. fuck. when you two stopped kissing, you quickly pulled away from him and turned around. abby stood there with a stoic expression on her face. but you knew her well at this point. you could see how angry she was behind those eyes. you cleared your throat and allowed your boyfriend to enter.

“babe,” you said. abby’s heart ached even more when you called him that. called some man you never even talked about “babe”. she so badly wanted to say fuck you right to your face and never see you again. but at the same time, it would destroy her. she didn’t want that to happen.

“this is abby…” you said nervously.

he smiled at her and gave her his hand to shake. “no need to introduce me to the number one scar-killer here!” he said. they shook hands, and you stood behind your boyfriend awkwardly as he introduced himself to her. you placed your hand on his shoulder and cleared your throat.

“it’s a surprise that you came,” you said. “why the random visit?”

“what? am i not allowed to see my girl?” he joked, wrapping an arm around you. you laughed awkwardly and avoided his gaze. “sorry that i ruined your girl’s night.”

“it’s alright,” said abby, looking at him. “i was just leaving anyway.”

you furrowed your eyebrows and moved towards her. “already?” you asked.

you went to grab her arm but she moved away from you just in time. abby opened the front door and you were quick to be right on her heel. you stepped outside with her and shut the door behind you, immediately grabbing her arm so she wouldn’t be able to get away from you.

“abby, please—“

she cut you off by shaking your hand off her and almost yelling at you. “babe?! seriously, fuck you y/n.”

you kept your composure almost all too well. your expression never changed. your face didn’t move. she didn’t see any sadness or frustration. it only made abby angrier. keeping that perfect face from doing anything out of your control. you weren’t tearing up like her. you weren’t huffing and puffing like her. you, again, were perfect. abby scoffed and shook her head.

“i’m sorry,” you said, looking down at the floor. “i wanted to tell you but there wasn’t a perfect time.”

“perfect time? he’s your fucking boyfriend, y/n! boy-friend!” she exclaimed all shocked.

“i know, it’s just—it’s complicated…”

she stared down at you with a piercing gaze, and when you looked up at her with the same look. not a single thought behind your eyes, she only shook her head and turned around to start walking away from you. “whatever…”

“abby!” you called out.

she walked down the hallway, but you didn’t run after her. you never said anything else. you just watched in silence as she walked away from you. not even a single glance behind her shoulder. your nose scrunched up; your expression finally breaking. but she wasn’t here to see your imperfection.

—

weeks passed and you two never crossed paths since that day. it hurt abby to an extreme knowing that you were with somebody else, and it hurt you knowing that she was hurt by, well, you. she was purposely avoiding you, and you didn’t blame her. all you wanted though was to be with her again. just one more time to explain yourself. but she wouldn’t let you be near her. so you never crossed paths again.

until tonight…

the shortest way to get back to abby’s room is to pass by yours. and she so badly wanted to avoid taking that route again, but after tonight's assignment, she was way too exhausted. it was just passing by your room nothing else. so she quietly made her way down the semi-dark hallway. and as she inched closer and closer to your wooden door, her heartbeat picked up faster and faster.

‘it’s just a door, abby. just. a. fucking. door,’ she thought to herself.

but it was your door. yours. and she couldn’t help but stop in front of it for no fucking reason at all. but she only stood for less than a second before continuing her way. though, in the faint distance, she heard somebody crying. she stopped walking to pay more attention. was that you? she walked back over to your door and gently pressed her ear up against it. abby could hear you crying, hard. she’s never heard you cry before.

without any hesitation, abby knocked three times on your door. you stopped crying immediately, but it wasn’t going to fool her. when a minute passed, and no noise was her on the other side of the door, abby decided to knock again.

“y/n… it’s me,” she said in a soft voice.

in just a couple of seconds, you were at the door unlocking it. you open it just a crack at first to look into abby’s eyes, and when you saw genuine concern in them, you opened up the door all the way. abby looked you up and down slowly, not believing that this is you. your hair was unkempt and not brushed. it was messy and all over the place, sticking up in all sorts of different directions. your face was tear-stained, and your cheeks and eyes, and lips were puffy. and the oversized shirt you wore as pajamas had a hole or two in random places.

never has she seen you look so sad before, so… imperfect.

“oh my god,” she muttered. her words made your lips tremble.

“i look horrible, don’t i?” you asked, holding back tears. “i should’ve—

abby cut you off. “i don’t care about how you look right now,” she said. “what happened, y/n?”

you stared into her eyes as your tears went away. she became more concerned by the second as you slowly started building up a wall in front of her yet again. your face that was so full of sadness suddenly turned into an expression of… nothing. you managed to pry your eyes away from hers and look somewhere else.

“nothing happened,” you were quick to shut her out. you were about to shut the door on her, but abby quickly grabbed it and forced you to open it back up again.

“no, no, no, you’re not going to do that to me,” abby said. she took a few steps inside your room, letting the door shut behind her. you took a few steps back. you couldn’t let her stay. you couldn’t let her be with you while you were in this state.

“get out,” you said, tearfully. “i-i can’t let you be here right now.” but abby didn’t move. after weeks of ignoring you, tonight was the night she stopped. seeing you sad for the first time, and all vulnerable—this was her time to be with you. and you started cracking underneath the pressure of her gaze. that concerning-loving gaze. you inhaled sharply to keep yourself calm, but you ended up breaking down as you ran into her arms.

you hugged abby as tight as you could. you were nowhere near as strong as her so she barely felt any pain. but she could feel you start wetting her shirt with your tears. she quickly led you to your couch so you both could sit down and talk once you stopped crying. abby tried soothing you by rubbing small circles on your back, but she wasn’t much of a comfort person in the first place so it didn’t do much. but, you had already felt her care and worry through her words alone, and it was enough for you to pull away from her hug and stop crying.

abby grabbed your hand and gave it a gentle squeeze to reassure you. it comforted you, and eventually, you were able to compose yourself. “what happened?” she asked again, almost in a whisper.

you frowned and wiped away some tears rolling down your cheeks. “m-my boyfriend and i fought…” you said, almost crying again. “it was really bad… he found out that i slept with manny and h-he fucking went berserk on me.”

your voice was trembling, cracking at every word in every sentence. it was weak and hoarse. god, you sounded terrible. abby opened her mouth to say something but you continued to talk. “i know i shouldn’t be crying because i’m in the wrong,” you said, looking into her eyes. “but i cheated because we….”

you cut yourself off by crying again. abby swiftly pulled you closer to her and hugged your side. you wrapped both arms around her again and gripped onto her shirt.

“t-that night when i slept w-with manny,” you cried. “him and i f-fought over the way that i-i am… who i am, w-what i wear. he’s been s-saying it for so long at that point so i-i s-snapped.”

“fuck him then,” said abby. “if he’s ashamed of you then that’s his fault. he can go fuck off.” you didn’t say anything, but you managed to stop crying.

“i just needed somebody that night,” you said. “but i shouldn’t have cheated… fuck, i’m such a horrible bitch.” you teared up again but immediately started wiping your eyes.

“he deserved getting cheated on a long time ago,” said abby. “you’re not a horrible person… you’re the most perfect person i know.”

your cheeks flushed as you laughed and shook your head. “i’m not… i really am horrible,” you said, looking away. “i cheated on my boyfriend with manny. how can i be perfect if i did that?”

you shut your eyes and bit the inside of your bottom lip. fuck. “and i keep thinking about cheating…” you said. “because all i can think about is you and it really fucking sucks.”

abby blinked once. just once as she took everything you said in. you noticed her silence and you turned to her. she was shocked, and it was very, very obvious.

“what?” abby asked. that’s all she could ask. nothing else escaped from her lips as she waited for you to say anything else.

you placed your hand on her thigh, but not in a sexual manner, but just to be closer to her. “whenever i’m with him, all i think about is you,” you said. “i’m… sitting here crying over this fucking asshole and all i can think about is you and it’s fucking horrible.”

“y/n—“

“you are fucking with my mind abby,” you sat up on your knees and grabbed her cheeks, caressing them with your thumbs as you looked deeply into her eyes. “and i don’t know whether to hate myself or love myself for it,” you whispered.

abby grabbed one of your hands and squeezed your wrist. “then why did you not leave him?” she asked. you continued staring into her eyes, not saying a word for a few seconds. but when she asked again, you sighed.

“i was scared,” you said. “scared to be alone because i didn’t know if you liked me back.”

“and are you still scared?”

“does it matter if i’m still scared or not?” you whispered, moving closer to her face. “when i’m with you i’m no longer scared of anything.”

abby smiled but didn’t say anything back, so you sat there cupping her face in your hands waiting for her to confirm her feelings. but when she kept her silence, you could feel your breathing become heavier. tears start to form and your body feels hotter and hotter. your lips quivered.

“please…” you murmured. “… do you love me?”

abby pushed your hands away once she felt her cheeks become hot. “you make me feel things i never thought i would ever feel before,” she said. “of course i love you.”

you smiled widely and quickly moved your head to hers. you grabbed the back of her head and kissed her. you kissed her so hard and with so much passion that you two fell back onto the couch with you on top of her. abby grabbed your waist and moaned into your mouth. it turned you on. but as soon as she realized what was going on, she pulled you away from her. you moved your hand from the back of her head to place both of your hands on her shoulders. you raised an eyebrow.

“why’d you stop?” you asked.

“this is wrong,”

“how can it be so wrong if it feels so right?”

abby tried sitting up but you pushed her back down. “i’m no perfect girl, abby,” you said. “what i’m doing right now is wrong, i know. but in my heart, and i know in yours, this is the right thing. i will leave him, i promise, but please… i cannot stand being away from you any longer.”

abby sighed and shut her eyes. “fuck,” she said. “you and your way of words…”

she opened up her eyes and grabbed your cheeks, and in one quick motion, brought you down to her chest and kissed you again. you gripped her shirt and endorsed yourself in her bliss. she grabbed your waist again and sat herself up, leaning against the arm of the couch. finally, after so fucking long, you were in her arms. abby really couldn’t care that you were cheating on your boyfriend at this point. it made wanting you even more tempting and scandalous.

abby started lifting your shirt. she wanted you so bad right now and you knew it. you pulled away from the kiss to help her remove it, and now the only thing you were in was your underwear. of course you didn’t wear a bra. you cupped her cheeks one more time and made her look into your eyes.

“i love you…” your words whispered.

but she loved you even more. beyond what words can describe and what actions could do. she loved you beyond anything else in this life.

—

abby sat with manny and his dad that morning in the cafeteria. but her eyes weren’t on her food. they were on you as you chatted with your boyfriend with a smile; a smile that didn’t mean anything. your true smile was reserved for her—your true beauty and true feelings. she didn’t know when you would leave him. really, she hoped for him to walk in on you and her one day. to rub it in his face that she was the only one you needed. the only one you wanted.

when you momentarily turned your head to meet her gaze, you gave her a sly wink and just continued chatting with your boyfriend. and at that moment, abby sat there wondering if you were the worst or most perfect woman in the world.

Does anyone know how long the Kenobi book (John Jackson Miller) takes to get into the story??

I’m listening to the audio book and I’m 4 chapters in and still there’s been no Kenobi POV. I’ve been spoiled by fanfics and their fantastic right-to-business starts. I know none of the characters this author is talking about. I assume they’re all his OCs.

He’s literally laying out a whole community before I figure out whether the chapters are days, months or years after the prologue (the only appearance of Obi-Wan so far)

tell me why did I trust how much of these hills is gold even after knowing it had blown up on TikTok....
