Timezones in One Piece World
I am back with a physics post! Well, more meteorology/geography post!
I was inspired to create a timezone map after reading the newest chapter of Doflamingo's Marine by @moonbaby26 where a timezone difference was mentioned, which was a great detail! I remember thinking about timezones in OP world but never got around to it but I did now. So it made me wonder just what timezone is Dressrosa (my fav island 🤗) in, what timezone are the other islands in?
SO!
I pulled a grid of irl timezones, simplified it, and put it over the One Piece World Map! (You can see some parts where I was like, no keep it simple, simplify it).
HERE IT IS!
Tumblr media
UTC is coordinated universal time, aka time in the center of the world. Anyway, here are the islands + locations and I'll put some ANs for some cus some are interesting.
Paradise:
Reverse Mountain [UTC -1]
Red Line Center [UTC -1]
Twin Cape [UTC 0] Greenwhich Mean Time,
📍Iceland
I find it PERFECT the exit from Reverse Mountain into Grand Line are the ones in the center of the One Piece World, not the Red Line Itself.
Cactus Island [UTC 0] Western European Time (WET)
📍irl ex: Reykyavik, Iceland
Little Garden [UTC +1] Central European Time (CET)
📍 Italy, Spain
Drum Island [UTC +2] Eastern European Summer Time (EEST)
Alabasta [UTC +3] irl ex:
📍
Jaya [UTC +4]
Skypiea [UTC +4]
Long Ring Rong Island [UTC +5]
Water 7 [UTC +6]
Amazon Lily [UTC +7]
Enies Lobby [UTC +6]
Florian Triangle [UTC +9] Japan Standard Time
Sabaody Archipelago [UTC +10]
Impel Down [UTC +8]
Marineford [UTC +9] Japan Standard Time (JST)
Holy Land of Mariejois [UTC +9] New Zealand Standard Time
Fishman Island [UTC +10]
New World
New Marineford [UTC -8] Baker Island Time (BIT)
Punk Hazard [UTC -8] Samoa Standard Time (SST)
Dressrosa [UTC -7] Pacific Daylight Time
📍 Los Angeles
It used to be in Hawaii, it fit so much, whyyyy 😭😭
Totto Land [UTC -5] Eastern Standard Time
📍irl ex: Florida, U.S.
Wano Country [UTC -4]
📍irl ex:
Uf, I think that's all the big locations. I recommend using just the UTC and then you go minus or plus just so you don't have to go converting everything. The One Piece world most likely just says "Universal Time + (number)" or sth.
So, for example, if it's 17:00 (5 pm) in Marineford (UTC +9) on a Monday, it will then be 1 am on Monday in Dressrosa.
17 - 9 (to get UTC 0) = 8 am Monday (UTC 0)
Then another -7 hours, you get Monday 1 am (UTC -7) in Dressrosa. So Dressrosa is 16 HOURS behind Original Marineford.
Interesting how Doflamingo settled in Dressrosa, which is the entire 22 hours behind Holy Land by time, symbolising how his family abandoned the privileges of Celestial Dragons. Nice.
Also, for the Blues, regarding seasons:
North Blue & East Blue = North Hemisphere such as Europe & U.S. (winter months - December, January, February)
West Blue & South Blue - South Hemisphere (like Australia & New Zealand) so the winter months are June, July, August.
The seasons are interchangable in the Grand Line depending on the islands!

Facts About The NYC SST Training Courses
When engaged in construction or demolition tasks in and around the city, it is essential to qualify for a New York City Site Safety Training (NYC SST) card. It is mandatory for all workers employed to handle construction-related jobs within the boundaries of the city. Supervisors must be aware of safety protocols and job-specific regulations at the job sites. ​ It is imperative for the workforce at any job site within the city limits of NYC to carry the requisite card.  All workers and supervisors must complete the NYC SST training course successfully to qualify for the card. Additionally, they must get the training refreshed within five years of gaining the card to continue working in the same industry.
It is imperative for employers such as contractors to hire only eligible workers to work on construction and demolition sites within NYC. A trained course provider must be engaged to impart the training to the training to each worker on site. Moreover, a site safety manager or a site safety coordinator must also be present during the training. It is important to note that both temporary and permanent workers must take safety training.
Several training courses are mentioned by Local Law 196 of 2017, the New York City Department of Buildings (NYC DOB) for workers dealing with the tasks within the city limits of NYC. Some of the training courses taken by employers include the following:-
NYC SST: 62-Hour Complete Supervisor Safety Package- This training is meant for supervisors and is regulated by the New York City Department of Buildings. The course duration is 62 hours and is particularly important for supervisors requiring a new OSHA-30 card. It is available online
NYC SST: 40-Hour Site Safety Training for Workers- This course is limited to workers working on construction sites for multiple hours at a stretch. This particular training includes the following the trainee is required to complete the training successfully by scoring at least 75% in individual quizzes as well as the final exam:
· OSHA 30-Hour Outreach Training - Construction · 8-Hour Fall Prevention · 2-Hour Drug and Alcohol Awareness
NYC SST: 40-Hour Site Safety Training for New Entrants- This particular course is meant for workers who have newly entered the industry and have no experience working in construction or demolition sites. It is essential to a worker who joined the NYC workforce on or after 1st December 2019. The new workers learn to identify safety hazards by taking the OSHA 10-Hour Outreach Training for Construction plus the following:
· 8-Hour Fall Prevention · 8-Hour Site Safety Manager Refresher/Chapter 33 · 4-Hour Supported Scaffold · 2-Hour Drug and Alcohol Awareness
The site manager must take the NYC SST 8-hour refresher training course to renew the site safety manager’s license. The site supervisor and the site coordinator may also take this training to renew their certificates and registration, respectively.

Geordie Shore Season 23 Episode 9: Recap, Release Date & Streaming Guide
Tumblr media
Geordie Shore's Episode 8 is already aired, and viewers want to know the release date for the next episode. Don't worry. We get it covered. The 23rd season of Geordie Shore, a British tv program set in Newcastle upon Tyne, was clarified on February 15, 2022, once Paramount+ unveiled their fresh batch of unrehearsed sequences and renovations for MTV Entertainment Studios, including the new spinoff. However, the season's start date had been set for the end of 2020 or 2021, but it had been repeatedly interrupted due to UK COVID-19 limitations. Ibiza, Newcastle upon Tyne, and the Portuguese Algarve are among the places where movies have been filmed. Late in August 2022, the very first teaser for the series was revealed, and on September 20 of the same year, it made its debut. Instead of being a spinoff of the program, this series is referred to as "Geordie Shore: The Reunion Series." this program gathers the group to commemorate Geordie Shore's tenth anniversary. The show serves as the "homecoming" episode for the series. The initiative was developed in Britain. Despite having been promoted for years, this show has only started airing. Since a large number of individuals couldn't congregate in one place for a lengthy period of time, the stringent laws in the United Kingdom proved shooting challenging. Also Read: How To Watch Die Discounter Season 2 Episodes Online? Streaming Guide Recap Of Previous Episodes The episode is a homecoming program rather than a spinoff. This season's Geordie Score franchise is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and during the show, viewers are exposed to the drama that ensues when the gang gets together to celebrate. Here is a brief summary of the series's previous events. Marnie's baby shower is organized by Charlotte, Holly, and Sophie, and they will back them in their choice to throw a gathering for the entire group. The question that needs to be asked right now is whether or not everybody will make an appearance. The numerous cast and crew try to reunite and mix in with their buddies from previous episodes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsXWOXOT_QE However, a few guests keep canceling, which is very upsetting to the hosts. We discovered that the visitors received much more enjoyable treats than we had anticipated. Although some individuals have walked on from the previous, there is tension among a number of people, and fans must be having fun as we touch base on all the adventures of the characters who have previously departed the show. The group has also chosen to go to Portugal as a household. Release Date For Episode 9 The wait is over, as Geordie Shore's Episode 9 is all set to air on November 15, 2022, Tuesday. The episode lasts 45 minutes in total. Every Tuesday sees the debut of the latest episode of Geordie Shore season 23. The chapters of Geordie Shore season 23 will be broadcast on MTV in the US at 10:00 p.m. But viewers outside of the US can watch fresh chapters of Geordie Shore season 23 on a variety of streaming sites. Check the time with your neighborhood and make an effort to watch the upcoming episodes of Geordie Shore season 23. Midyear in English: 3 a.m. (Wednesday) IST: 7.30 am (Wednesday) SST: 10:00 am (Wednesday) PST:10.00 am (Wednesday) JST/KST: 11.00 am (Wednesday) AEST: 1.00 pm (Wednesday) Also Read: The Curse of Oak Island Season 10 Episode 1: Release Date, Plot & Streaming Guide Where One Can Stream Geordie Shore Season 23 Fans may watch the brand-new Geordie Shore season 23 episodes on MTV at the time they were initially scheduled to air.

Super Sonic Thieves Chapter 10
Chapter 10 - When in Rome...
The Set Up:
Sly, narrating: “The Thievius Raccoonus warned us that another Cooper had been lost, this one being Augustine Cooper. Somehow, he was the inventor of being able to defy gravity, staying in the air for days at a time with no effort. Of course, as a Cooper, he used it to rob people at his leisure, especially the kings and guardsmen. To others, his gift seemed to be a gift of the gods, but actually… well, no one knows, and he was very secretive about it in the book too. In any case, it seems that Eggman has captured Augustus for his own nefarious plots, and it looks like we are going to have to go rescue him.”
*The camera pans among some marble columns, until it stops on a few that get chiseled out to say the title: ‘ When in Rome ’.*
-----
Hub Layout:
Sly and the gang have made their hideout in the smaller homes of the poor side of Rome. In the center of town is the famous Colosseum. Surrounding it are the large palaces, then the marketplaces and the smaller homes. A large mountain stands to the far North, home to ‘Mt Olympus, and to the far South is a deep chasm the locals have referred to as ‘The Underworld’.
Enemies:
Goats: Guards on the lookout for sneaky thieves. If they spot you, expect horns in your backside with a fast charge. Carries/drops 12-14 coins and has 10% chance of treasure to pickpocket.
Wolves: Grey wolves on the prowl for thieves. Be wary of provoking them, as they will bite and scratch endlessly and chase after you. Carries/drops 16-18 coins and has 25% chance of treasure to pickpocket.
Lions: Big cats with an even bigger bite. They will seriously make an attempt to keep on your tail to maul you, so get them quick. Carries/drops 16-21 coins and has 50% chance of treasure to pickpocket.
Rhinobot: Those charging rhinobots have gotten an upgrade in size and speed, making them a bit more dangerous than before. Still, a good whack shall smash them good. Drops 16 rings when smashed.
Roman Pawns: Toga!!! It’s Egg Pawns in togas and head wreaths, of course. Don’t let their simpleness fool you, as they can fire lightning bolts from their hands. Drops 18 rings when smashed.
Helmeted Egg Hammers: Egg Hammers that have gotten into the time travel spirit wearing Roman helmets and gladiator armor (on top of their regular armor, for some reason. :P ). They attack the same as regular Egg Hammers, but they have even more armor to make destroying them tougher (Defense over attack, you know?) Drops 20 rings when smashed.
Egg-Cerberus: Eggman’s gigantic loyal guard ‘dog’ has come back, but has now gained 2 more heads to fit the Roman theme. It still has the same weakness of being controllable to careen into walls and other things.
Treasures:
From Guards:
Small Necklace: Worth 75 coins and 38 rings.
Medium Necklace: Worth 95 coins and 48 coins
Large Necklace: Worth 115 coins and 58 coins
From Pedestals:
Golden Head Wreath: Near to the front gates to Mt. Olympus. No booby traps. Worth 1500 coins and 750 rings.
Hercules’ Shield: Near to the gate of the Colosseum. It’s extremely heavy, so a strong character has to take it back. Worth 1750 coins and 875 rings.
Hermes’ Sandals: Tucked away around the palaces. No booby trap. Worth 2250 coins and 1125 rings.
Lightning in a Bottle: Near to the canyon going down below. Damage sensor trap and will zap you dead if broken. Worth 2750 coins and 1325 rings.
The coins have a lightning bolt design on them.
Secret Clockwerk Sighting: A marble statue stands in one of the plaza’s that looks just like him. But is he underneath that marble coating? Hmm...
-----Jobs-----
Roman Recon
Recon Rome
Sly: “Well, this doesn’t look good. Rome’s empty, and this is supposed to be a bustling city.”
Blaze: “I’d guess that Eggman’s helper here scared them all away. But it sure is odd when there is no damage anywhere at all.”
Bentley, over the binocucom: “Just be careful in case they should rear their ugly head around here.”
Sly, sarcastically: “Don’t we always?”
Bentley, over the binocucom, smugly: “Unless the ‘head’ is Carmelita, then you go basically blind.” *An audible high five is heard.*
Sly: “Ouch, Bentley. But at least that head is very pretty.”
Carmelita, over the binocucom: “Sweet save, Ringtail.”
*The player heads of to take recon photos of the Colosseum, the group of palaces, Mt Olympus and the Underworld.*
*Upon taking a picture of the Colosseum.*
Sly: “Odd, these gates seemed to have been blocked before everyone ran off, considering the feet prints.”
Blaze: “Does it look a little off in general too?”
Sly: “Hmm, yeah. Bigger and more recently built, which is impossible. Hmmm…”
*Upon taking a picture of the palaces.*
Blaze: “Sure are a lot of Eggman’s mechs walking around here to be doing nothing in particular.”
Sly: “Do you think they are looking for something?”
Blaze: “That, or just waiting in general.”
*Upon taking a picture of Mt. Olympus.*
Blaze: “Such very odd gates, tempered with very high heat that I’ve ever seen.”
Sly: “So we won’t be able to get in this way.”
Blaze: “No, at least, not forcibly. We need to find a way in somehow…”
*Upon taking a picture of ‘the Underworld’.*
Sly: “Wow. That’s a deep chasm if I��ve ever seen one. And dark too.”
Blaze: “I could light the way, but we have a problem.”
Sly: “What, getting down there? There are some stairs there.”
Blaze: “Someone has made a magical barrier or something to stop us. We can’t get in without finding an object to pass through.”
Sly: “We better keep an eye out then.”
*Once done.*
Sly: “Hmmm, good intelligence, but not a lot to go on.”
Bentley, over the binocucom: “Can you guys return to the safehouse? Silver says he’s got an idea where Augustus is.”
JOB COMPLETE
-----
Palacian Bash
Listen in to the guard’s conversations.
Find Augustus.
Sly: “So where do you think is Augustus, Silver?”
Silver: “I have to admit it’s not a certainty, but I think I may have a location. Ever since we got here, I’ve felt a strange psychic power at work, and after some divination, I believe he is hiding in the palaces to the East.”
Sly: “That does sound like how Augustus’ powers work, so it may be him. And we just came from there; there are many pawns and guards patrolling there. Let’s go.”
Bentley, over the binocucom: “Hang on, Sly. If you don’t mind, I’d like to go. His psychokinesis intrigue me… and I have a feeling I may be able to get us more information on what’s happening around here.”
Sly: “Fair enough then.”
*Sly returns back inside the safehouse, and Bentley comes out.*
*The player heads on over to the palaces, and in the first one, find a Wolf guard and Lion guard chatting to each other next to a well.*
Silver: “They appear to be talking, but how do we hear them?”
Bentley: “Leave that to me and my grapple camera. It can listen to them and play it for us here.”
*One short grapple cam moving later.*
Wolf Guard: *Some stomach growling can be heard.* “Grrr… I’m annoyed the boss scared away everyone. Now with no one trespassing, there’s no food to eat!”
Lion Guard: *His stomach growls as well.* “I know, but what can we do when our boss is 20 feet tall!”
Wolf Guard: “Might as well loot the food stocks again…”
*They both walk away.*
Silver: “20 feet tall? That’s a giant! And we don’t know any giants.”
Bentley: “Hmmm… we better listen in to more guards then.”
*The player moves on, entering a second palace and finding a goat tinkering with a Rhinobot like a mechanic. They grapple cam over, and listen in to the guard.*
Goat: “Bah, good-for-nothing Saturn making us have to work on these stupid contraptions. If Saturn weren’t so big, I’d give him a piece of my mind.”
Bentley: “So the big guy is named Saturn, like the King of the Titans in Roman myths.”
Silver: “Then he’s clearly not from our world. It makes no sense.”
Bentley: “Yeah. Well, that’s the way it is. Little bits of information for the whole picture.”
*The player goes to the third temple, and for once, find a Roman Pawn talking to an Helmeted Egg Hammer. They must come in from behind them because the robots can detect the camera from the front.*
Roman Pawn: “NO SIGN OF AUGUSTUS COOPER FOR OUR BOSS FROM THE CITY.”
Helmeted Egg Hammer: “WELL, WE WERE ORDERED TO KEEP LOOKING FOR HIM AND CAN’T RETURN ‘TIL THEN.”
Roman Pawn: “HOPEFULLY WE FIND HIM SOON. I NEED AN OIL CHANGE.”
Silver: “Huh, I never thought Eggman programmed his badniks to speak, unless whoever’s here tinkered with that.”
Bentley: “I think the more important thing is that Saturn has not found Augustus yet, which means we got a good shot finding him. Is he close?”
Silver: “Yes, very close.. Just a few rooms away.”
*A bit further on, the duo end up finding a room with a vault door at the end. Clearing the guards away with darts, bombs and psychokinesis…*
Silver: “He’s here… but where? I think he’s hiding visually from us with his psychokinesis.”
Bentley: “It’s not like a Cooper wants to be found. But I think I got an idea how to lure him out. Let’s open the vault. I’ll tell you what numbers to turn it to.”
Silver: “Okay.”
*In a bit less annoying safe-cracking game, Bentley listens for the numbers and the player has Silver twist the knob with psychokinesis to the correct numbers. The vault opens and shows the gold and jewels inside. And as expected, Augustus appears from his hiding spot.*
Augustus, rather unemotionally: “It took a few days of waiting, but it’s finally paid off with all that treasure. Now to get rid of the witnesses.” *He attempts to psycho-kinetically kick out Silver and Bentley, but is unusually stopped. With a bit more emotion in his voice:* “Huh? Why can’t I grab you guys?”
Silver shows he’s using his psychokinesis too. “Not when I can do the same. Now, please stop, cause we’re actually looking for you.”
Augustus: “Looking for me? Daresay you be friend or foe?” *He tries to raise his power…*
Silver matches it however. “Friend, obviously. Please, just stop and listen.”
Augustus, with a bit more emotion: “I was listening, you know. You mentioned Coopers. You sensed me! How can I trust you?!”
Silver: “Well, like I said, I use psychokinesis too, and I was able to sense yours here.”
Bentley: “And, it may be a bit hard to believe, but we are from the future and are friends to your future numerous-greats grandson.”
Augustus: “The future? Well, it’s not the weirdest thing I can believe, but I do.” *He lets his psychokinesis go, and so does Silver.*
Bentley: “Come on and follow us back. We can explain more in safety.”
JOB COMPLETE
----
Augustus: “My, what a group of quirky characters, I dare say.”
Sly: “Quirky, but we get our jobs done well.”
Augustus: “I can believe so, if your friends are anything to go by.”
Sly: “So, what’s been happening?”
Augustus: “Sorry, future son, but I’ve been too focused on that vault to notice what’s been happening outside. All I did notice was the people changing to those weird, noisy things a few days ago, but that’s it. You understand, right?”
Sly: “Yeah, a big job can really mess up any other plans.”
Bentley: “Never fear, Silver and I have learned a bit of what’s been going on here. It seems that one literal giant, a Mr. Saturn, is controlling these robots and guards to do his bidding. They’re still looking for Augustus, so that should buy us some time.”
Dimitri: “Pardon my history, but wasn’t Mr. Saturn in Roman myths many feets tall?! Why haven’t we seen him?!
Bentley: “I can only speculate that he probably is spending time in Mt. Olympus, waiting for news from the badniks. I think it may be best to go out now and get things done to attract him out, and find a way to open the gates to Mt. Olympus.”
Blaze: “I think Sly and I should go back out there and find a way down that chasm. Whatever’s down there must be important, and might just attract Saturn out of his hiding spot.”
Sly: “Yeah, and we can handle whatever’s down there.”
Silver: “And Augustus and I have talked, and we might try to divinate the gate. Maybe we can find a way to open it.”
Augustus: “This adventure of yours intrigues me, and I want in.”
Bentley: “Wow, didn’t even need to ask.”
Sly, smugly: “We know our place by now.”
Bentley: “Well, let’s get to it then.”
-----
Going Down…
Find a way into the ‘Underworld’
Destroy the Energy Power plant.
(Blaze and Sly return to near the gate and a Lion guard walks through to Rome.)
Sly: “Huh?”
Blaze: “What is it? See something?”
Sly: “Yeah. I saw a small glimmer in his pocket that wasn’t money. I think it might be our way down there.”
Blaze: “Go get him then.”
*The player has Sly sneak after him and pickpocket the Lion of his item, a green orb.*
Blaze: “An orb?”
Sly: “Yeah.” *They walk up to the barrier and it drops for them.*
Blaze: “Such an odd little key, though there are orbs in our world that do similar things.”
Sly: “Hmm. Well, we better hurry up before anyone gets wise of who we are.”
*The player travels down the long stairs and to the bottom of the canyon. The place is bathed in an eerie green, but Sly notices something more in the dark as Blaze alights herself.*
Sly: “I smell, and see, smoke clouds.”
Blaze: *Cough* “So that’s what I was smelling above.”
Bentley, over the binocucom: “I knew I was sensing abnormal energy readings! It must be a crude energy production facility!”
Blaze: “The smell reminds me of Eggman’s smog, but it’s tinted green. But he’s had a dramatic flair for theme, so it’s probably to scare people away.”
Sly: “Whatever this is, we better shut it down.”
Bentley, over the binocucom: “I suggest just destroying everything. Subtlety will just take too long.”
Sly: “Way ahead of you.”
*The player goes and destroys all the machines by either hitting them, or using Blaze’s flame aura to ignite the clouds to explode machines. Once done...*
Sly: “And there it goes, back to dust and broken pieces.”
Blaze smiles wide. “Heh he, that was fun!”
Sly: “Let’s hurry back before someone notices.”

Home of the Gods
Find a way to open up the gates to Mt. Olympus.
(Silver and Augustus stand in front of the gates to Mt. Olympus, and attempt to use their psychokinesis to ‘divine’ the gate open, but their efforts fail.)
Silver: “I don’t think this is working, Augustus. Something is preventing these gates from being opened.”
Augustus: “Indeed, this is a waste of energy.”
*They both stop.*
Silver: “I think it the source of it is inside. But how do we get in?”
Augustus: “We float, of course. We make our own paths, as psychokinetic users.”
*The player has them just float themselves over the gate to the inside. As they float to the objective...*
Silver: “Where did your powers come from, Augustus? Were you born with it?”
Augustus, sounding a bit defensive: “Well, yeah, of course, I mean, where else would you get it? Like from the gods or something? Heh…”
Silver, getting a bit saddened when he starts to trail off: “I was just asking. I was born with it, but of course, we need to be taught to use it correctly, lest we… well…”
Augustus: “... Screw up royally?”
Silver: “... Yeah.”
Augustus: “Looks like we both know that… and maybe I need a little more training…”
Silver: “I’ll help you with that when we get a chance.”
Augustus: “Thank you. Now, ahem, let’s go find the gate opener.”
SIlver: “Right!”
*The player heads through Mt Olympus’ huge temple halls, either being sneaky or fighting off guards and badniks while making their way to the back of the building. Out in the backyard are rows of electric generators, connected to the fence and keeping the gates shut.*
Silver: “Aha! Some generators that produce electricity to hold the gate closed!”
Augustus: “Electricity?”
Silver: “It’s what people use in the future to power things.”
Augustus: “A future thing, I see. Okay.”
Bentley, over the binocucom: “Well, you don’t need to understand it when I’m going just simply ask you to destroy this electric farm. It’s only really helping the enemy, and it doesn’t belong here.”
Silver: “You got it, Bentley!”
*The player has Silver and Augustus destroy the generators with badniks, guards, and anything else they can grab with their psychokinesis.*
Silver: “Okay, Bentley! We’re done!”
Bentley, over the binocucom: “Excellent. That ought to make it easy for us to get in later.”
Silver: “Sure, we’re on our way back- Agh! Wait! Who are you?! AH!!! S-SATURN!!!”
*Screams of Silver and Augustus can be heard, which slowly fade away to nothing.*
Bentley: “Silver? … Augustus? … Oh crap.”
JOB COMPLETE(?...)
-----
Studying Saturn
Follow and listen in on Saturn.
Bentley sighs: “I screwed up. It seems I let Silver and Augustus be captured by Saturn by the sound of it…”
Sly: “No one could have predicted that Saturn was just waiting for them in Mt. Olympus. It wasn’t your fault.”
Bentley, very saddened: “I should have. It’s my job to predict the risk of everything, and I didn’t even think that.”
Tails: “You can’t predict everything the enemy is going to do. Even we get surprised by Eggman and his tricks sometimes.”
Bentley, a little surprised: “Really? You guys don’t really see Eggman as much of a threat.”
Sonic: “Oh, we do. We just snark and make fun of him to not give him the satisfaction of stroking his ego, which is massive as it is already, heh.”
Bentley, getting a bit more back into it: “Maybe… you’re right guys.”
Saturn’s massively booming voice blasts across the city. “To the mighty annoying thieves who are hiding in the city: I have your friends and demand that the rest of you turn yourselves in to me. Reveal yourselves soon, or else your two friends will have a very unpleasant time…”
Bentley covers his ears: “Ugh, the taunting. Quite the salt in the wounds. But… I mustn’t let this get me down. Knuckles, shall you accompany me on listening to Saturn unknowingly?”
Knuckles: “I’d be honored too. And don’t worry, I’ll keep you out of trouble.”
*The player leads the turtle and echidna sneakily as close as they can to Saturn, and send the Grapple Cam as close as possible to it.*
Saturn: “Heh, who am I kidding? This is Sly, Bentley, Murray, and the gang. Of course they aren’t going to show their faces. Let’s see… I’m supposed to destroy more stuff in this big mech suit to get them out of hiding, I guess..” *He moves elsewhere in the level.*
Bentley: “It’s a mech suit? I guess that does make sense with the energy plant we found in the ‘Underworld’.”
Knuckles: “I wonder if Eggman designed it, since he’s made mechs like that before.”
Bentley: “Let’s continue listening.”
*The player moves on to Saturn’s new location.*
Saturn: “I’m surprised Bentley sent Augustus and Silver straight into my hands. He really didn’t know I was there? Anyhow, they may have gotten the gate to Mt. Olympus open, but Bentley doesn’t know that, I think. Aw, well. I hope I didn’t leave him crying like last time. SInce I had to work with Eggman, I hope he will be pleased that I got their data or whatever.” *He moves on.*
Knuckles: “Well, it’s not Eggman in there, that’s for certain.”
*Bentley oddly stays quiet, just pointing for them to move on.*
*At the next location.*
Saturn: “Ugh, I see why Sonic and his critter friends don’t necessarily like Eggman. You have to do things as he says, or expect to die! If it weren’t for that robot army of his, I’d give him a piece of my rodent mind. I’m pretty smart too, you know! I’ve built RC cars, and even that time machine with him! … At least he let me build this mech suit. Heh he, Bentley is going to be jealous of this.”
Knuckles: “Uh… whoever’s in there seems to know you.”
Bentley, with worry in his voice: “I think I know…” *Does a breathing in and out to relax and his voice goes back.* “But I need to make sure… We got some work to do, Knuckles.”
JOB COMPLETE(?...)
-----
Saturn Loses His Cool
Force Saturn to go and recharge at Mt Olympus.
Break out Silver and Augustus.
Knuckles: “And what sort of work is that?”
Bentley: “Well, we got rid of Saturn’s power supply, so whoever is in there is having to rely on backup power right now. We have to drain Saturn of whatever power he has left so that whoever is inside will be forced to get out. We’ll know who is reigning here then.”
Knuckles: “I see. And how do we do that?”
Bentley: “We force the mech to run around to do meaningless things, make it overheat.”
Knuckles: “Aha. I can do that.”
Bentley: “Then let’s go.”
*The player, while still keeping out of sight of Saturn, must go around the city and cause noisy distractions (like knocking over pillar dominoes) to lure Saturn to move around, raising its heat level. Once it fully raises, Saturn complains about the heat.*
Saturn: “Ah! Heat levels are too high! I gotta get out of here! But not in town, gotta hurry to Mt. Olympus, or he’ll see me!”
*Saturn runs off and the player follows him back to Mt Olympus. Just out of sight, the player sends the Grapple Cam from behind cover to show who comes out…*
*A light purple dutch mouse in a tracksuit suddenly pops out of the chest of the machine.*
???: “Ah! Whew! Finally out of that mech! Any longer and I would have suffer hyperthermia. *Sigh* I better get to work on fixing the problem…”
Bentley: “P-p-p-Penelope… How could you work for Eggman? He’s not going to help you…”
Knuckles: “She might have been tricked by Eggman. I should know, he’s tricked me before.”
Bentley: “He has? Hmmm…” *With determination in his voice.* “Come on, Knuckles, we’re getting Silver and Augustus out.”
Knuckles: “Okay, but where-”
Bentley: “Just follow me, I think I know.”
*The player heads into the huge temple area, and find the psychics surrounded by badniks and guards in a cage.*
Knuckles: “Woah, there they are. How are we going to get them out?”
Bentley: “As much as I dislike confrontation, we got to fight them.”
*The player fights the badniks and guards, and free Silver and Augustus from their prison.*
Augustus: “I’m free! Phew.”
Silver: “Thanks, Knuckles and Bentley!”
Bentley: “Let’s get back to the safehouse. An operation cannot wait any longer.”
JOB COMPLETE
-----
Sly: “Are you alright, Bentley? You seem… worried.”
Bentley: “Yeah, I’m worried. I’ve seen Penelope. She’s our villain here.”
Sly: “Oh… can you go on? I know you left on a better note back then, but I’m worried about you.”
Bentley: “It’s fine. I… I need to go out there, and talk to her.”
Murray: “How are you going to do that when there’s a three-headed dog on the loose in town?”
Sonic: “Huh? Does it look like a mechanical dog?”
Murray: “Yeah, looks like it’s sniffing around for us.”
Sonic: “Ah, I see she has called the Egg-Cerberus. I can handle that mutt. And I guess you want to come with, Bentley”
Bentley: “If it won’t be too much trouble, yeah.”
Sonic: “It won’t be.”
-----
Operation: Turtle and Mouse
Defeat the Egg-Cerberus
Defeat Penelope
Sonic: “Alright, time to go after the Egg-Cerberus.”
Bentley: “We’re going to lure it to the Colosseum and fight it in there.”
*The player uses Bentley’s grapple cam to lure the Egg-Cerberus into the large Colosseum, and then head inside to defeat the Egg Cerberus. Bentley can stun it with bombs, but like with the old one, Sonic must grind onto its middle head and force it to ram into a wall or pillar to severely damage it. The dog should soon go down.*
Sonic: “Hah! It’s still a lousy robot mutt.”
Bentley: “No time to celebrate yet… she’s coming.”
*Soon, Penelope in her Saturn suit breaks the entryway to reveal herself.*
Penelope: “Aw! How come you guys had to destroy the Egg-Cerberus? I was starting to love the robot dog.”
Sonic: “Sorry, but if it’s Eggman property, I gotta smash it. I don’t trust anything he makes.”
Penelope: “Fair enough. And I see that Bentley is here too.”
Bentley: “Penelope… how could you work for such an evil man?”
Penelope: “I unfortunately had to, Bentley. He offered a deal… and it was really hard to refuse…”
Sonic: “What, did he point a gun to your head?”
Penelope: “Yeah, his whole badnik army’s worth. And his deal was quite hard to say ‘no’ to as well.”
Bentley: “What was so worth throwing away any last bit of your decency from what Le Paradox left you?!”
Penelope: “I told you already, Le Paradox showed me I could do greater things than just working for a ragtag gang of thieves and an officer who are just busting the villain of the day. And now, Eggman gave me a similar chance. Look, I even got free reign to make this mech suit. How is that not worth it? I get to not waste my talents on the small things.”
Bentley: “...Was it like this ever since I met you?”
Penelope: “Yes, Bentley. I did love you in the beginning, but I thought we were going to go off and do great things together, and not just sit around waiting for the next big job Sly had in mind. I just… don’t want my talent squandered…”
Bentley: “... If that’s what you felt… then why didn’t you tell me?”
Penelope: “Because you seemed like you were too far in with Sly, like he clouded your judgement. It always seems to be for the good of the Cooper clan.”
Bentley: “Well, he is my best friend for many years now, and I am their brains, so I do have to work for Cooper… but if you really wanted to expand and do more, you could have just asked. I mean, that’s why we made the time machine, so we could do a project together.”
Penelope: “... It wasn’t really made just for Sly interests in case he returned?”
Bentley: “I mean, yeah. I asked you what you wanted to build, and you asked for a time machine. We made it together. We could have went on dates with it on any time, if we had the right object.”
Penelope, saddened: “... … I’ve been a fool. Unfortunately, I have an obligation to Eggman now to defeat you…”
Sonic: “Don’t, Penelope. He says he wants to advance you further, but he doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He will toss away anyone he works with once he gets what he wants from them.”
Penelope: “He will?”
*As if on cue, Eggman appears in the mech cockpit to stop the interaction.*
Eggman: “What the heck are you doing, Penelope? Why haven’t you killed the blasted hedgehog and the Cooper Gang yet?”
Penelope: “I-I-I don’t know! I can’t get myself to want to defeat them… I don’t... want to hurt him…”
Eggman: “Then allow me to do that myself! You thought you had free reign of your mech, but in the end, it’s all MINE!!!”
*Eggman takes control of the mech from wherever he is and forces the mech to do a kick at Bentley.*
Bentley freezes up. “Ah!!!”
Sonic: “No!” *He jumps and pushes Bentley out of the way, but gets kicked himself into the Colosseum wall. He collapses, unconscious, but not dead.*
Bentley and Penelope: “No!!!”
Eggman: “Grrr… no matter, I’ll get back to him. I have a problem with you, Bentley, and I’m going to kill you personally!”
Penelope: “Hey, what’s going on?!”
*The mech suit closes up on her, and he tries to attack again, but this time, Silver and Augustus appear on the Colosseum roof and grab Bentley and float him to their level.*
Silver: “Trying something evil, Eggman? It isn’t going to work here!”
Augustus: “I can’t believe that this metal man is alive, but I shall defeat you all the same.”
Bentley: “We gotta save Penelope from that mech!”
Silver: “Already planned on it. Let’s go.”
*The Saturn mech mostly attacks with either its laser eyes across the roof, or pinpoint shooting, punching and throwing its hands down to smash you, or missiles in an attempt to scare you. To be able to defeat the Saturn mech, Silver/Augustus should throw either a missile or any flying piece of debris Eggman shoots up, and toss it back at the mech. Other than just hurting it, it will also stun the mech for a time and make it fall forward to the roof. In that time, Bentley can go over and bomb the power core of the mech. The mech will jump back up again after a bit and repeat the process over. As a note, the arms can be destroyed while it is leaned over to lessen the number of attacks the mech does. Just keep up the bombing on it, and it will soon fall down.*
Silver: “Yes! We did it!”
*The mech starts a self destruct sequence of 60 seconds, but also opens up its head section where Penelope is, collapsed from the shock.*
Bentley: “Penelope!”
*While Silver and Augustus psychically lift Sonic up, Bentley jumps down and rolls and grabs Penelope and puts her on his lap. Silver notices, and then grabs them both too. They all escape off the roof, just as the mech explodes into pieces.*

The Getaway:
Penelope opens her eyes to see the Cooper and Sonic gang. “Huh? You guys saved me?”
Silver: “Well, Bentley was the one who went to the mech and grabbed you before it exploded.”
Penelope: “Really? After all I’ve done to you, Bentley?”
Bentley: “Y-yeah. I-I just had to. I… um…”
Penelope: “Same here… I don’t know anymore either.”
Sly: “Um, Sonic? Tails says your friends have sent us something.”
Shadow, on Tails’ Miles Electric: “I can’t believe I have to ask this, but we need your help right now. Some strange villains have come through a portal and started taking over our world. GUN and the rest of us are trying our best to take them, but they’re using some powerful robots that look to have been made by Eggman. These are what they look like.” *He shows pictures of the villains who look quite familiar...* “Hurry, we don’t know how long we can last.” *The transmission ends.*
Carmelita: “What the heck? They said they were reformed! I knew they were lying and just waiting to be free of prison totally!”
Murray: “All the past villains we put away are running around in your world, Sonic!”
Sonic: “Not if I get a say with them!”
Sly: “We’ll help you, Sonic. We’ve dealt with them before… and I’m thinking this is not just a point of conquest.”
Bentley: “I smell revenge. Why else are they all there?”
Sly: “Exactly. We have to deal with them.”
Penelope: “Was I just… a distraction for him? Hmph, I’m not going to play that game. I’m helping too!”
Sly, narration: “It looks like our adventures through time are over, and a new adventure to begin in a different world altogether. How did the villains we put away escape, and could we do it again? In any case, we better deal with them before they mess up all time in a new world.”
Next Time: We return to Sonic’s world to deal with an ‘artsy’ bear.. in Prehistropolis City Zone.

oh my god i wanted to read a complate kingdom but i’m scared it’s going to be too disturbing. are there any moments of relief? and destiel moments that might bring me relief? i watched midsommar and it didn’t scare me because the violent scenes looked fake to me but if i read a story it’s going to be different
okay let me give a good answer to this (very vague spoilers under the cut!)
okay let me start by clarifying that when i said it was like midosmmar, i really didnt mean in terms of plot or scare level or even like, the way that it was scary. i wasnt really scared by midsommar; i didnt LIKE watching it, as in i was made extremely uncomfortable and on edge so it wasnt an enjoyable experience that i would like to repeat, even though the movie was good. (i know that was intentional, so props to ari aster) thats what i mean when i compare the two; actually, a complete kingdom freaked me out way more than midsommar, in terms of pure scare/unsettledness actually. the fic was really really intense for about the last two and a half chapters, and it wasnt like, FUN to read, for me. it was super super good and i devoured every word but it was actually distressing because it was so well done from a horror perspective. i dont think i want to read it again.
okay, that being said: are there moments of relief? frankly? once the story really hits its stride and starts escalating (which i would say happens in chapter 8/10), not really. it pretty much is a nonstop flight to the insane ending that doesnt pause for you to take a breath. destiel moments.....they’re there and im OBSESSED with the way their relationship is written because its soooo good, but i wouldnt really call them “relief” as theres always a veneer of horror over them, and all of them when they’re done leave you feeling at best vaguely suspicious and on edge, and at worst, deeply disturbed. 
so i guess (and maybe im talking this up too much? i did read it in one sitting and got to the ending around 5am) like, it’s a super amazingly written fic. the characterization is insane and perfect and the case theyre working is just as masterfully crafted. the horror is slow building and for me it really hit, to the point where i dont think i want to read this fic again despite it being super well done because it was like. it wasnt just horror movie type fear or sadness over the threat of mcd that had me in tears for the last two chapters, i just found it to be really overwhelming and it did tap into my anxiousness in a way that was both impressive and not enjoyable. i wouldn’t recommend this fic to EVERYONE the way i do with ssts, but if you like horror and can handle the tags of the fic, i would absolutely say go for it! if anyone would like to send and ask or a dm with specific questions or concerns about reading, id be happy to help you figure out if this fic would be okay for you :’)

Save Me: Chapter 9 - Wolf in Saviour’s Clothing
~Hey guys! This is Chapter 9 of ‘Save Me’ ❤️ Molly witnesses the horrors of the Sanctuary first hand and Negan has an important question to ask her. I hope you enjoy and chapter 10 will be out on Wednesday 😊~
Negan was working his way under Molly's skin. Or was it the other way around? As long as he couldn't figure her out, she was safe. She knew he was dangerous, but for some reason he didn't scare her. She could see that there was more behind the eyes.
Ah home sweet home.
This cell was starting to hold a weird familiarity, I hated being here but apart from Negan's daily chats with me and Dwight bringing me food which consisted of a dog food sandwich, the solitude was actually not bad.
I thought I would be going crazy by now as I loved the outdoors, but in here felt strangely safe.
Negan had offered to move me to a better cell so that I wouldn't have to stay in place where a guy had tried to rape me, but I refused.
In fact I liked it, being in the very same room where that had happened reminded me that I was alive and that prick wasn't.
I was empowered, as empowered as being in a cell can make you but at least walkers couldn't get at me, so that was a plus.
And right on time, the door swung open and in came Dwight...
Dwight usually brought me food but for some reason he hadn't yesterday.
As usual I didn't speak, neither did he.
Instead, he just put the food on the floor beside me.
He was about to leave when he said 'have you been talkin' to Sherry?'.
I looked up at him, squinting because of the light, 'why do you care? I retorted.
'I don't, just don't get mixed up in...his wives. Negan's taken a shine to you but don't push it' he said pulling me up from the ground.
I struggled, 'where are we going?', 'the food hall, Negan wants you to be there' Dwight replied.
I was puzzled but remained silent as we walked.
As soon as the doors opened, the hall was filled to the brim with Saviours, it's leader standing by the fire.
What was going on?
Negan ignored me but simply instructed Dwight to get the iron ready.
The what?!
Everyone was on their knees now, not me.
A man was strapped into a chair in the middle of the room.
One of Negan's wives was crying, the one he was talking to when I saw Sherry again.
'You know the deal, What's about to happen is gonna be hard to watch. I don't want to do it. I wish I could just ignore the rules and let it slide, but I can't. Why?' he spoke addressing his people.
'The rules keep us alive!' they all chanted in unison.
I looked around confused, mumbling 'Jesus Christ' under my breath at their worship of him.
Negan looked directly at me through the crowd. ‘That. Is. Right' he said softer than before.
'We survive. We provide security to others. We bring civilisation back to this world. We are the Saviours. But we can't do that without rules', he said without breaking eye contact, like he was trying to convince me.
He broke eye contact now, 'rules are what make it all work. I know it's not easy. But there's always work. There is always a cost. Here, if you try to skirt it, if you try to cut that corner...then it is the iron for you'.
I looked over at Dwight, we looked at each other, understanding each other a bit more.
Seeing how being back here affected him, I had guessed that Negan burnt his face as well.
I still hated Dwight, but seeing his fall from the arrogant prick he was on the road to a cowering shell of a man made me uneasy.
'On your feet' he spoke before waltzing over to Dwight.
He glanced at me briefly, then his wives before putting on protective gloves and taking the iron from the fire.
Jesus Christ, this was barbaric.
My stomach churned just looking at him, but he would know if I looked away.
'Mark...I am sorry. But it is what it is' Negan said softly now.
I looked over at Sherry who was now holding the crying girl.
Negan with a sense of urgency, walked over to Mark and put the iron to his cheek.
His screams and cries filled the hall.
The smell of burning flesh infiltrated everyone's nostrils. It was nauseating.
Mark went unconscious with shock as Negan took the iron off of his face, skin peeling with it.
Negan chuckled, impressed with himself 'ah see that wasn't so bad now was it?'
He looked at me now, to see my reaction.
He was serious now, almost somber. As if he hated every moment of it.
I hated him and he knew it by the look on my face as I scowled at him.
'Doc, do your thing. I'm all done now' he said ushering the doctor forward to Mark.
'Well, the pussy passed out. But it's settled, we're square. Everything is cool. Let Mark's face be a daily reminder to him and to everyone else that the rules here matter' Negan shouted, his voice echoing through the silent hall.
Dwight and Sherry looked at each other, like they had been through some shit together.
'I hope that we all learnt something today, because I don't ever...want to have to do that shit again', he said earnestly and looking at me.
Dwight then took me back to my cell in silence, everyone was silent for a while after that.
A couple hours later and Fat Joey had came to take me to see Negan.
This wasn't a surprise to me exactly but I knew I'd pissed him off last time so I expected this would be the end of me or at least an iron to the face.
As we walked, Fat Joey seemed to stand awkwardly next to me, like he was afraid of me.
I knew that a guy like him would do anything I wanted if I flirted with him.
Smiling to myself as we walked, I moved closer to him, wrapping my arm around his.
He was breathing faster now and I whispered seductively to him 'thanks for walking with me, you make me feel so safe', winking as we came to Negan's room.
I walked in leaving Fat Joey bright red and speechless.
Putty in my hands, I thought to myself.
There he was.
He was sitting, almost reclining on his sofa watching me as I walked into the room.
He smiled.
As much as I wanted to hate him, that smile melted me.
'Goddamn, you've been living in a fucking cell and you still look beautiful' he said standing up, leaning as he swung Lucille over his shoulder.
Dwight stood awkwardly in the corner, like he'd just been punished or something.
I looked over at him, Negan taking notice.
'I wanna tell you a little story Molly' Negan said sternly as I walked through the doorway.
'See Dwighty-boy over there, he hustles. I like hustle. But believe it or not, things weren't always cool between us and I know you've been wonderin' Negan said calmly.
'See D here, he worked for points, him and his super hot wife and her super hot sister. But see sis, she needed meds and that shit is hard to scavenge, so it cost more. Sis fell behind on points, so I asked her to marry me. Told her I would take care of her in sickness and health, blah blah blah, because I am a stand up guy' he continued, growing angrier with each reflection.
'She tells me that she's gonna think about it. Next thing you know, I'm dealing with an orange situation' Negan said frowning.
I took my eyes off him and looked over at Dwight who was looking down the whole time.
'Dwighty boy here had stole all of the medication and took off with his super hot wife and my super hot maybe soon-to-be fiancée' Negan growled in annoyance.
At this, Negan's grip on Lucille tightened and Dwight stepped backwards a little in fear.
'So I sent my guys after him, because I can't let something like that stand. There. Are. Rules. Cost me an arm and a leg going after him. And you know what? Dwighty boy still got away. But here's the thing, D, he saw the light. He manned up. He came back. He asked for my forgiveness. I like that. Made me...take notice' he said more happily now.
He moved closer to me.
'But Lucille, she is a stickler for the rules. So, Dwight...he begged me not to kill Sherry, which I thought was kind of cute, so I was just gonna kill him. But then Sherry says she will marry me if I let Dwight live, which, if you think about it is a pretty screwed up deal, cause I was gonna marry her sister before she wound up dead' he added.
'But, Sherry is super hot! Anyways, it was a start. But it wasn't enough so Dwight...he got the iron' Negan said smirking.
I looked at Dwight again, now understanding what Negan had on him. I saw the pain in his eyes.
Negan was a monster.
'So, I married his super hot wife. Ex-wife. And then after all that, he still got on board. And now look at him, pow! one of my top guys and we are totally cool. The point being, I think you can be that person. I think you are ready to be that person' he said almost excitedly.
He glided around the room, 'Look around here, this, the luxury, can all be yours. All you've gotta do is answer one simple question' he added, not noticing how horrified I was by the situation.
This was it, this was the recruitment speech.
I looked at him, like I could predict his very thoughts.
'Who are you?' he leaned further back as his eyes examined me, as if he knew my answer.
I was silent, longer than he wanted.
'Cat got your tongue? Are you just overwhelmed by the awesomeness of this? I'm gonna ask you one more time' he drawled softly.
He walked toward me, stopping right in front of me.
Noses almost touching.
You could literally feel Dwight's awkward presence. But it felt like it was just us in the room.
He held Lucille in front of him, almost to my chin.
'Who are you?' he repeated, whispering gently.
I flicked my gaze down to Lucille for a split second before looking into his eyes.
They were now auburn with flecks of golden brown. It was like being hypnotised.
He looked at my lips for a second before gliding back up to my eyes, like he wanted to be doing something else right now.
I made him wait, knowing that he would.
I smirked before whispering back 'Molly'.
He was taken aback, so was Dwight.
'This is the only way' Dwight intervened.
'Hey! Sst sst sst' Negan said to Dwight, raising a single hand up to silence him, all the while not taking his eyes off mine.
He smiled through his clear annoyance at my answer.
'It's cool D' he said while flicking his tongue to his teeth, 'she made her choice. Ain't my problem she made a dumbass choice'.
I chuckled at this, smiling while I did so.
He was so pissed off underneath the smile. He wanted to break me, well I wasn't breaking anytime soon.
He scanned my eyes, frowning.
He couldn't read me at all and that killed him inside.
I didn't want luxury, he could keep me in this cell but I would never become a Saviour.
He asked Dwight to take me back to the cell, 'Aw and I was hoping that Joey would' I said smiling while looking back at Negan.
He wasn't just furious at me rejecting him, he was jealous.
He looked at me, no smile this time. Jealousy blazed through his eyes and had turned them black.
Once again, I had left him speechless.
When we got back to the cell, I sat against the wall exhausted.
Dwight was also pissed.
He stood in the doorway before shouting 'you're gonna wind up in that room or hanging on the fence!'.
I rolled my eyes before looking down.
He was about to leave when I said 'I get why you did it. Why you took it'.
He stopped still, looking at the ground.
'You were thinking about someone else' I added.
We made eye contact that time, I felt sorry for Sherry.
'That's why I can't. My people need me' I said seriously, making him understand.
He closed the door a little more before stopping again.
Dwight was turned away from me but said quietly, 'I'm sorry for Denise'.
He quickly shut the door and then left.
The problem starts and ends with Negan but what if I could get closer?
Now that I know for sure the effect I have on him, I could use that to my advantage...

If you decide to tell Yoongi you want to take a break
Word Count: 1,358
Disclaimer: This is part (10) of a Choose Your Own Ending!
Start here:
Tumblr media
“Ugh, yes. I hate it when you’re right,” you tell him. He gives you a wry smile, and re-buttons his shirt, the light catching on his rings as he does so. You reluctantly let him up then stand yourself, and fix your disarrayed clothes. You follow Namjoon back into the living room, noting with grim amusement that the others don’t even question what either of you were doing out there.
Tae and Yoongi have disappeared into their rooms, and Jeongguk and Ruby are not-so-mysteriously missing. The others are variously cheerleading and watching J-Hope’s admittedly off-key karaoke performance, incorporating impromptu dance break. You try to concentrate on J-Hope, and ignore Jeongguk’s airy gasps and moans drifting in from the patio door but Namjoon’s clearly had enough. 
He bangs sharply on the glass twice, prompting a squeal, some scuffling, then silence. After a moment, Ruby scampers inside, head down, eyes on the ground and apologizing profusely. Jeongguk apparently has no such qualms. He wanders back inside, cocky as you like and looks defiantly at Namjoon, when he halts his progress.
“Don’t you have any modesty Kookie?” Namjoon asks him, quietly, offering him the chance to apologise. Jeongguk doesn’t answer him, instead slicing the older boy’s neck lazily with his hand before staggering over to the one empty chair and collapsing into it where he almost immediately passes out. Namjoon just looks disappointed.
“He’s out of control,” mutters Jin.
“I dunno. At least he was in tune,” Jackson teases, gesturing towards Hoseok’s drunken attempt at a karaoke power ballad.
“Sst,” warns Namjoon, with a frown and a slight shake of his head. Jin tries to shake Jeongguk awake but Namjoon puts a hand on his shoulder. “We’ll talk to him when he’s sobered up, okay?” he proposes.
“Is anyone attending to my karaoke performance?” demands Hoseok, obviously intending to defuse the situation. You all attend to the rest of his song, as requested, then everyone drifts off to their respective beds and homes. You watch Namjoon wistfully as he closes the front door behind your guests. He turns, and smiles at you, but his eyes dart towards Yoongi’s door. You give him a wry smile, letting him know you get what he’s implying, then you head to bed as well.
You wake up with a sense of foreboding. Nobody is around in the main apartment, so you take your time, make yourself a cup of green tea and perch in the living room with a book, trying to take your mind off the Yoongi situation. You’ve just managed to invest yourself in the story, when you hear a door open and close. You look up to see Taehyung drifting across to the kitchen in his pyjama pants and nothing else. He still looks pretty down. To your surprise he sits on the edge of the couch close to you and murmurs “Can I talk to you?”
“Sure. What’s up, Tae?” you ask, trying to hide your surprise.
“Well…I kinda like one of the girls who works at the gallery across town,” he mumbles. “But I know we’re not meant to…you know…date. And I don’t even know if she’s interested in me but…well, I mean…it’s just upsetting me a bit. I feel like I make an idiot of myself whenever I go there,” he frets. “She’s really into photography, so I tried to talk to her about that, but I got nervous.” He looks so crestfallen, it’s hard not to pet him. His bright blue bangs fall into his eyes, and he pushes them back impatiently. “Anyway, I’m not sure what to do,” he concludes.
“Um…I’m not sure. But I’m sure she doesn’t think you’re an idiot,” you reassure him. “Actually Namjoon and I were thinking of going to check out that David Hockney exhibition today. I’m sure Namjoon wouldn’t think it was strange if you came along,” you suggest. He looks grateful and nods with one of his sweet little smiles. Feeling bad you can’t help him more, you watch him drift back into his room. Which means you’re looking up when Yoongi comes out of his room. His eyes narrow when he sees you, but he must figure it’s too obvious to escape now, so he continues over to the kitchen to make himself some tea. You sigh and follow him into the kitchen.
“Yoongi-oppa?” you address him. “I’ve been thinking. Maybe we should…take a break. He turns, calmly and fixes you with his dark eyes. It hurts that he makes eye-contact now, when things are all going to hell.
“Sure,” he agrees. Wow. So that’s it then? You swallow hard, and nod.
“Okay,” you tell him. “Well…while that’s happening I think I’d better take a break from work as well. To stop things getting awkward, you know…?” You’re fighting not to cry. He just nods again, takes a sip of his tea. “So I guess I’ll see you round?” you prompt. Another nod.
That break turns out to be more of a whole new chapter of your life than a break. You do run into Yoongi years later at some reunion schmoozing thing. He smiles in recognition but you can see the world of hurt behind his eyes.
“Min Yoongi-oppa!” you exclaim, trying to keep things light. “It’s been forever. How have you been?” You do really want to know and you sense he kind of wants to tell you, but he’s as reticent as ever. He does mumble something about new music he’s been producing, looking self-conscious as he asks if you’d like to hear it some time. You know an olive-branch when you see one.
“I’d love to Yoongi-oppa,” you smile at him warmly. He hesitantly returns your smile, and looks like he’s about to say something else when his eyes go cold and he scowls a little at something behind you. Uh-oh. You sense Jackson’s hands on your shoulders. He’s just being affectionate and he gives Yoongi a friendly smile and holds out his hand, despite the deep-freeze coming off your former lover.
“Suga-hyung. Great to see you again, man. How’s that new stuff coming along?” he asks, sounding genuinely interested. Yoongi rallies and shakes hands with his old rival.
“Yeah it’s coming along okay,” he answers, voice low and eyes down. Jackson gives your shoulders a light squeeze, clearly unsure where to go with this.
“Well…Um…we should have you round to dinner sometime, man,” he offers. Yoongi is too taken aback to hide his surprise.
“Sorry?” he asks, looking at you for confirmation. You avoid his eyes. His flash down to take in the diamond ring and gold wedding band on your left hand. He blanches, but quickly recovers himself.
“Oh. I didn’t know…Um, congratulations Y/N…Jackson,” he manages before making his excuses and leaving the room.
“Is he okay?” Jackson asks you. “He seemed a bit…taken aback. I thought you invited him to our wedding?”
“I…no. I mean I meant to. But I just couldn’t Jackson-oppa,” you apologise. “We kinda had history. For a bit. Before you even asked me on our first date,” you add hurriedly. “Before I even left my job.” He looks somewhat mollified.
“Oh,” he states gruffly.
“C’mon don’t be jealous,” you tease him. “That was so long ago. I’d been single for more than a year when you asked me. Like I told you at the time.”
“Ah-kay. I guess I just never figured Yoongi-hyung for your ex,” he shrugs, embarrassed to have made a fuss. You smile and kiss him softly.
“Do I even talk about him?” you point out. “I mean any more than I do about the other Bangtan Boys?”
“Guess not,” he sighs.
“I married you remember?” you point out, taking his hand to lead him onto the dancefloor. He smiles and grabs you both punch making sure yours has plenty of fruit garnish. You kiss him again and let him spin you around, lost in your own thoughts.
Maybe you never speak about Yoongi anymore, but you think about him often. And it broke your heart to see him looking so lost and sad tonight. But Jackson doesn’t need to know that.
THE END
