episode seven: the massacre at hawkins lab
Steve coughs, swatting at the particles in the air. âJust inhaled a bunch of that crap.â âIâve been trying not to think about how much of the Upside Down weâve ingested since being here.â âItâs stuck in my throat, Y/N.â âAgain, Iâm trying not to think about that.
Summary: bats are really fucking annoying to fight, you always somehow end up critically injured, nancy carries the group on her back as always, eddie gives steve relationship advice (embarassing, tbh), interdimensional bike riding is lowkey fun, and you take a trip down memory lane.
Rating: general, some swearing, violence
Warnings: fem!reader, use of y/n, cursing, blood and gore, critical injuries, mentions of fainting, mentions of death and violence, description of corpses

Before you swing in: ive never been more excited to write a chapter tbh. this episode touches on so many things ive been building up for seasons now !!!! insane !!! im so so so excited to see how yall react. this chapter has my favorite sequence of scenes yet ;) enjoy !
â
His name rips from your mouth. âSteve!âÂ
The bats sink their fangs into his stomach. His legs kick out, he gasps for breath, choking on his pain. Your legs threaten to give out as you stumble towards Steve. Quickly your fingers find the knives you always carry with you just as a bat lunges towards you.
Barely having time to dodge its quick attack, you swat at the creature, but your knives slide off its skin easily. Your heart drops; their flesh is too thick to cut through. The bat screeches at you, its teeth bared, and you throw your body weight against it onto the ground. Angling your knife, you pierce the inside of its mouth, killing it.Â
âShit!â Another bat crawls towards you. Your elbow scrapes the ground as you roll out of its path, slicing into the creatureâs maw.Â
Steve screams again, this time even louder as even more bats surround him. Frantic, you jump to your feet. Without thinking, you grab the tail of one of the bats, its face buried in Steveâs stomach. When you start to pull, Steve shakes his head violently and throws his arm out at you. âGo!â
You donât bother answering; youâre not leaving him.Â
The batâs tail cuts your palms as you pry it off of Steveâs flesh, but as soon as itâs removed, it latches onto your upper thigh. âFuck!â
Razor sharp pain shoots through your entire body. The bat loosens its jaw to only tighten it more; you can feel its teeth hit your bone. Screaming, the white-hot pain blinds you. Your knees give out and you fall before you can catch yourself.
âY/N!â Steve chokes out, desperate. He clenches his jaw, tries to get up. More bats screech overhead, circling you, and Steve knows you only have seconds before youâre dead. But the vines around his neck constrict even more. His airway closes, another bat takes the other oneâs place on his stomach.Â
âMotherfucker!â You stab at the bat, but then a second one slams against your body and your shoulder explodes with pain. âFuck-no,â you try to twist around, to use the last of your strength to remove it from your own skin, but itâs no use. The bats tear at your skin, ripping through muscle and ligaments.Â
Lightning flashes, its light red mars the endless dark blue sky. Above you, a bat screeches, signaling its descent, before it dives towards you at full speed. Your eyes close, you hope death will be quick.Â
âGet fucked!â Someone screams, a sickening thud following. Opening your eyes, you see the creatureâs body get thrown into the air. Eddie stands above you, smiling wickedly, but as soon as he sees the two other bats gnawing on you, he brings his oar over his head and swings.Â
You look away, scared heâll miss, and see Nancy and Robin a few feet away. Nancy holds the other oar, working with Robin to kill the swarm of bats that encase Steveâs body. Seeing them makes you want to cry in sweet relief.Â
The sound of the batsâ pained cries echo in your ears. It takes several attempts before Eddie manages to get them off of you. The batâs teeth cut deeply with every attack, causing you to cry out in pain. Itâs fucking agonizing. Warm blood follows a sickening tearing sensation in your leg.
When Eddie has killed both bats, he helps you stand up. âJesus, you alright?â
âTalk later,â you grunt, already rushing to go help Nancy and Robin. âFight now.â
Eddie doesnât stop you. He swings his oar again and Robin begs you to help. She has a bat pinned down while Nancy pounds her oar into its face, but it wonât fucking die. Its tail has wrapped itself around Steveâs neck and heâs paler than youâve ever seen him.Â
But before you can gut the piece of shit creature, another bat pounces on Nancy. Its claws tear her skin and she yelps. You scream her name and catch her before she falls. âI got you.â
Nancyâs hands clutch your body as you stab the bat. âGet it off me!â
âIâm trying!â The bat wonât let go, screeching with every pull. Biting down, you ignore the searing pain as your palms get cut up even more. Robin tries to help, but you scream at her. âNo! Help Steve!â
She nods quickly and itâs a mess of fighting and screeches and blood. Steve bites down on the batâs tail, its jaw opens as it squeals, giving him just enough time to escape. As he rolls to the side, Robin throws the batâs body onto the ground.Â
Seeing Steve safe reinvigorates you, and with one final scream, you use everything within you to pull the bat off of Nancyâs back. It releases her skin with a squelching pop. You force your knife down its throat and pin the creature to the ground. It writhes beneath you. âNow, Nancy!â
She doesnât hesitate. âGo to hell!â Her oar slams down, killing it.
Behind you Eddie kills the remaining few bats that circle overhead. Steve stands next to you, slamming the final bat into the ground. The body lands with a loud smack against the concrete and Steve rips the carcass in half.Â
Blood drips from his mouth and he messily spits it away. Heâs panting, his stomach is on fire, heâs stuck in some alternate dimension with no way out, but all he can focus on is you.Â
Flesh hangs from your shoulder, leaving behind a gaping wound of exposed muscle. Your thigh is torn clean through. Thereâs blood everywhere. The white of your tanktop is now soaked in red. But youâre here, youâre alive. He hasnât lost you. Not yet, at least.
âY/Nââ Steve practically falls against you, and youâre no better yourself. Youâre crying, snot runs down your face as you grab desperately at him. His hands are all over you as he tries to stop the bleeding, but thereâs so much blood.Â
âI-Iâm here.â Your hands are all over Steveâs body, too. They cup his waist, there are so many bite marks on him, but at least his flesh is warm under your skin. Heâs still here, heâs still yours, and now all you want to do is calm him down. Steve is panicking, holding you as if heâs afraid youâll die in his arms any second, and the fear on his face makes your chest ache.Â
âAre you guys okay?â Nancy asks, tentatively touching your shoulder. A wince slips from her lips when she sees the flesh that is no longer there. âJesus, Y/N.â
Steve wraps his hands around your thigh, itâs bleeding the most and you can barely put any weight on it. âIâm fine, but they took a fucking pound of flesh from her.â
âYouâre no better,â youâve placed your own hands over his stomach, his blood warm against your fingers. âI think you lost your appendix.â
Steve laughs, but almost immediately his laugh turns into a groan. âGod, donât make me laugh. It hurts.â
You apologize, kissing his shoulder. Light catches your attention and you see Robin crouched down next to one of the bat carcasses. She looks up at everyone. âUh, do you guys think these bats have, like, rabies?â
âRobin, if we have rabies, please promise me youâll shoot me.â You tell her, dead serious. Rabies has always terrified you. When you were younger, a rabid fox made its way onto your grandparents' farm. It had killed all the chickens, attacked the herding dog they had, and you remember how distraught your father had been when he had to kill both the fox and the hound.Â
âIâm sure you and Steve donât have rabies.â Nancy says, sensing your growing fear. But before she can say anything else a small group of bats descend from the sky.
Steve pushes you behind him. They land near the gate you fell through, screeching at the five of you. Theyâre a small enough group, Steve voices what youâre all thinking: you can handle them. Flicking your knives out, you prepare for whatâs about to come.Â
Until a swarm grows larger in the distance. Thereâs easily hundreds of them, they cast a shadow below where they fly. Thereâs too many to fight.Â
âYou were saying?â Robin breathes out, eyes never leaving the sky.
Steve is speechless, he doesnât know what to do. His hand tightens around you, protective, but thankfully Nancy has a plan. She tells everyone to run towards the woods and none of you hesitate to follow. Steve swings your legs over his arms, picking you up with ease despite the bite wounds that litter his skin. Like hell heâs letting you run right now; youâre too torn up, you can hardly even walk.Â
As Steve runs with you in his arms, heâs careful to avoid the vines that creep over the ground. Itâs a dizzying rush. All you can do is hold tightly onto him, trusting that Nancy knows where sheâs taking you.Â
Deep into the woods, Nancy calls over her shoulder, âOver here!â
Lifting your head from Steveâs chest, you realize, as you always do, that Nancy Wheeler is a goddamn genius. Sheâs taken you all to Skull Rock.
The giant boulders form a small alcove, just big enough to hide under as the bats fly overhead. She instructs everyone to crawl under and Steve sets you down gently, positioning you so that youâre sitting with your back against the rock. As soon as youâre secure, Steveâs hand goes back to your thigh.
The sound of the bats is almost deafening. No one dares to speak. They fly over at such a gruesome speed, their screeches echoing off the trees. You lose count of how many there are. All you can do is wait for the last of them to leave.
More lightning strikes above. It shakes the ground, the sound reverberates in your skull. You canât believe youâre here. Youâre in the Upside Down. The place youâve only ever spoken about, the entity that haunted your nightmares and took the ones you loved from you.
Itâs so much colder than you imagined it to be. Everything is darker, more twisted. The dimension is exactly as Will once described to you: this is Hawkins, itâs your home, but different. Colder, scarier. These woods are the woods you walked through, the woods where you fell in love, and yet the trees loom over you in a threatening way. Their branches form spikes, the dirt recoils against your feet.Â
Nothing here feels warm. The darkness is never ending.Â
This is where Will was, all by himself, for a week.Â
He had only been twelve.Â
When the nightmare swarm of bats is finally over, Robin carefully pokes her head out from the alcove. âOkay, that was close.â
Eddie agrees, kicking at a rock. Steve offers you his hand to stand, but the moment your skin touches his, you feel sick. All the adrenaline from earlier leaves you. All the blood youâve lost catches up, leaving your body weak. Stumbling, your vision tunnels and your eyes roll back.Â
âWoah, hey.â Steve breaks your fall, snapping his fingers in your face to bring your attention back to him. Heâs weak as well, he has to lean heavily against the rock to steady himself. âY/N-shit!â
âSteve?â Nancy turns around, finding you and him moments away from collapsing. She curses, rushing over. When she sees all the blood that still pours from your thigh, she gags. âOh, fuck.â
âKeep⊠keep talking. Please.â Your breathing is labored, you can hardly form any words. âKeep talking to me. If-if I faint⊠embarrassing.â
âI think sheâs losing it.â Eddie whispers rather loudly to Robin.Â
Nancy grazes Steveâs chest, silently asking him to move your body aside. She wants to get a closer look at his wounds as well, she canât help you if heâs bleeding out himself, but he refuses. âNo, no we need to help Y/N.â
âSteve, youâre also losing bloodââ
âI donât care.â Steve pulls you even closer to his chest, he needs to feel your rib cage rising and falling. He needs to feel you breathe. âHelp her, Nancy.â
His outburst startles Nancy. She takes a step back, alarmed, but clenches her jaw. Thereâs no getting through to Steve; she knows sheâs lost the fight. âAt least sit her down.â
Steve collapses, sliding back against the rock with you tucked to his chest. With shaking hands, he forces you to sit next to him. You wince with every movement, itâs getting harder and harder to stay awake.
âStay with me, angel.â Steve murmurs to you, motioning to Nancy to look down at your thigh. The wound is bleeding the most, the teeth sunk in the deepest.Â
âDonât wanna faint,â your head sags to the side, exhausted. âSo embarrassing.â
Nancy places her hands unsurely to your thigh. The blood squelches, soaking through your jeans. She exhales shakily. âYouâre not-youâre not going to faint, okay? Just keep talking, Y/N.â
âHate bats.â Itâs the first thing that comes to mind, but it seems to settle Nancyâs unease and Steveâs worry. âLittle fuckers hurt.â
Nancy tears the end of her shirt, her nimble fingers gently lift your injured leg. She ties the piece of fabric tight around your thigh, quelling the bleeding. Steve helps with the knot, though really he just needs something to do.Â
âIf you want some good news, Iâm pretty sure wooziness is not a symptom of rabies.â Robin crouches next to you, smiling despite how terrified she is. âSo thatâs something, right?â
You yelp when Nancy tightens the tourniquet. Biting your tongue, you force a smile to Robin. âHooray.â
âThere,â Nancy wipes her hands of your blood. The tourniquet isnât much, but already the bleeding has subsided. âBut I think youâre going to need stitches.â
âIâm tired of hospitals,â you whine, but youâre already feeling a bit better. Youâre weak, sure, but at least your body isnât slowly draining itself out. âThanks, though.â
Nancy nods, smiling softly, before her eyes land on Steveâs stomach. âCan I finally patch you up?â
Steve doesnât even look at her, instead cups your face. Even though youâre covered in blood and sweat and tears, even though your cheek is scabbed and your lip is split, he doesnât think heâs ever found you more beautiful. âYou alright?â
âBeen better,â you admit, squeezing his arm. âBut letâs worry about you now.â Turning to Nancy, you extend your arm. âGot any more torn pieces of clothing?â
She bites her lip. The only thing covering your body is your tank top. Sheâs seen the cuts all over your palms. She doesnât think youâll be able to wrap the cloth around Steve, if sheâs being honest. But she also knows Steve and how fiercely he loves you. He wonât let anyone near him but you.Â
Finally, she sighs. Tearing off more of her shirt, she hands it to you. âYeah, here.â
You thank Nancy again, and she gives you a curt nod before backing away, giving you and Steve some space. Once sheâs gone, you tend to Steveâs injuries. When he moves his hand away and reveals raised, angry flesh, you inhale sharply. âSteveâŠâ
âJust a flesh wound.â He jokes, but you can hear the pain in his voice.Â
Though youâre still dizzy and weak, you manage to lift Steveâs body enough to wrap the makeshift bandage around him. Luckily he isnât bleeding as badly as you are, but the sight of him injured still leaves you nauseous.Â
Tying the fabric around his torso, youâre careful not to hurt him any more. The moment is familiar, reminiscent of the years before. Back in the junkyard when a Demodog nearly tore open your rib cage, Steve had been the one to take care of you. He had so carefully wrapped your cardigan around your chest, been so delicate with you, and now itâs your turn to do the same for him.Â
âWe always end up here, donât we?â You say softly, it still takes a lot of energy for you to speak. You finish tying a knot to secure the bandage and Steve looks at you oddly. He doesnât understand, and you shrug. âYou and me, patching each otherâs wounds up.â
Steveâs eyes soften. It doesnât matter where he could be, in what situation he could be stuck in, you always somehow remind him of how loved he is. âKinda wish the bats had eaten my ribs instead. We couldâve had matching scars.â
You laugh, eyes shining with tears. Fresh pain explodes all over your body, but you laugh anyways. You donât know why youâre laughing or why tears run down your face. The exhaustion and pain from today must finally be catching up to you. âHow romantic.â
Steve laughs as well, the pain of it bearable when he hears your laughter mixing with his. âI love you, angel.â
âI love you, too, honey.â Itâs so cold in the Upside Down, but the warmth of Steveâs love feels like sunshine kissing your skin.Â
Robin clears her throat. âUh, not to ruin this cute moment, but I just wanted to say that if either of you start feeling aggressive, please let me know. Because, ya know. The threat of rabies still.â
âI kinda wanna punch you.â Steve looks at her pointedly, annoyed.Â
You poke his cheek and smile apologetically at Robin. âHe didnât mean that.â
âSense of humor is still intact, thatâs a good sign!â She cheers, then, as an afterthought, she takes off her flannel and hands it to you. âAlso, figured youâd want this. Not that you arenât totally hot right now in only a tiny tank top and blood all over you, itâs just freakishly cold down here and you technically have an exposed wound on your shoulder and who knows what sorts of awful flesh eating diseases there are here.âÂ
You accept the flannel gratefully and thank her. Then, together, you and Steve stand up. The process is difficult, you only have one functional top and bottom, and you walk in a slow manner together as you lean against the other.Â
Up ahead, Eddie is standing on one of the boulders, staring out into the vast dimension. âSo, uh. This place is like Hawkins, but with monsters and nasty shit?â
âBasically.â You respond, grunting as you support Steveâs upper body.Â
Eddie nods, defeated, and before he can step down, Nancy tells him to be careful of the vines. âItâs all a hive mind.â
When Eddie doesnât understand, Steve tries to explain it to him. âAll the creepy crawlies here, dude. Theyâre like, one or something.â
âTheyâre all interconnected. They can feel each otherâs pain, feelings, whatever.â You say, remembering how Jonathan had described Willâs agonizing screams when the vines had been burned in the tunnels.
âStep on a vine, youâre stepping on a bat, youâre stepping on Vecna.â Steve finishes grimly.Â
Eddie smiles sarcastically, obviously displeased with this information, but heâs careful not to step on any vines on his way down.Â
âBut everything from our world is still here, right? Except people?â Robin asks.
You nod. âAccording to Will, yeah.â
This pleases Robin, and she starts explaining her plan. If everything's the same in the Upside Down, then you should be able to use the guns stored away at Hawkinsïżœïżœ police station. With the ammunition stored there, itâd be more than enough to kill the bats that guard the gate back to Hawkins.Â
âI highly doubt the Hawkins PD has grenades, Robin.â Steve says skeptically. âBut guns? Sure.â
You shake your head. While Robinâs idea is good, thereâs still the issue of going all the way downtown from Skull Rock. The five of you barely made it half a mile without getting killed. Thereâs no way youâd survive three. âBut the police station is downtown. Thatâs too far from here.â
Robin deflates, but Nancy furrows her brows. After thinking for a moment, her eyes light up. âWe donât have to go all the way downtown. I have guns. In my bedroom.â
God you love her.
Eddie scoffs in disbelief. âYou, Nancy Wheeler, have guns⊠plural? In your bedroom?â
âFull of surprises, isnât she?â Robin says with pride.
âAnd this is why we always listen to her.â You sing along, high fiving Robin.Â
Nancy doesnât acknowledge you or Robin, but her cheeks flush with slight embarrassment. âA Russian Makarov and a revolver.â
âYeah, you almost shot me with that one.â Steve reminds her, though his tone is gentle, almost teasing.
You laugh, remembering how terrified he had been when Nancy pointed the gun at him. You all had been so much younger, more naive. All he wanted to do was apologize to Jonathan for their fight earlier. Steve had just wanted to make things right, and thatâs why you stepped in front of him that night. âLuckily for you, I was there to save your life.âÂ
Steve looks down at you fondly. He pulls you close, his eyes are full of so much love. He remembers everything. The night that started it all. âAnd then I saved yours.â
To think that a sprained ankle and a bat full of nails would lead you to here: Steveâs warm chest against you, so full of love.
Lost in your warm memories, neither you nor Steve see Eddie throwing his vest at Steveâs face until itâs too late. The material smacks against him, cruelly bringing the two of you back to reality.Â
âWhat the fuck, Eddie?â You sneer at him, deeply annoyed.Â
He waves at you flirtatiously, a devilish glint in his eyes. âIâm protecting your boyfriendâs modesty for you.â
Before you can retaliate, the ground beneath you starts to shake. The force of it is so sudden, so strong, that it sends you and everyone else falling. Steve catches himself on a rock, holding you tightly to his chest, and you manage to catch Nancy before she falls as well. Eddie grabs onto Robin, stuck on the ground together.
The tremors are violent. Thereâs a cracking sound, branches fall behind you as the earthquake destroys whatever it can. Steve holds you through it, he whispers reassurances to try and calm you. When itâs over everything is quiet for a moment, before a loud, heart stopping shriek cuts into the night.
It doesnât sound like any creature youâve faced before. Far too loud to be a Demodogâs, far too large to be a batâs. The thought of what it could be almost paralyzes you; it couldâve been the Mind Flayer.Â
âGuns seem like a pretty good idea to me.â Eddie finally says, panting.Â
Robin quickly agrees, and you swallow down the bile that rises in your throat. âYeah, okay. I can be okay with guns.â
âSo what are we waiting for?â Steve puts Eddieâs vest on, twirling a flashlight in his hand. He nods to himself, tries to convince himself that heâs as confident as he sounds. He extends his other arm towards you, helping you steady your balance. âLetâs go.â
And you follow.Â
âÂ
Itâs a long walk from Skull Rock to Nancyâs house; itâs an even longer walk when youâre in the Upside Down, hiding from demonic bats. With every branch that snaps beneath someoneâs foot, you all jump. The croak of whatever creature nearby sets everyone on edge.Â
âCouldnât we have tried a road or something just slightly less creepy?â Robin complains, jumping over a vine.Â
Leaning against Steve, you groan. âAnything would be less creepy than this.â
âI think weâre getting close,â Nancy tries to sound convincing, but even sheâs uneasy. âWeâre almost out of here. Donât worry.â
Robin nods at the reassurance, but you canât help but wonder what could possibly come next after you find Nancyâs guns. Itâd be two guns, two critically injured members of the group, two oars, and one switchblade against an army of bats.
Not the best odds.Â
Nancy and Robin wander further ahead, leaving you behind with Steve and Eddie. None of you talk, more so because youâre putting all your energy into not falling on your face and Steve is busy helping you stay upright.
Walking is difficult and painful and youâre so frustrated by it all, especially after you trip over your fourth tree root. If it werenât for Steveâs quick reflexes, youâd be long dead by now.
Eddie must recognize this, too.
âHere, let me justââ He comes next to you and throws your arm over his shoulders before either you or Steve can protest. Immediately the pressure on your injured leg lessens. You sigh in content, and Eddie smirks. âThere ya go, princess.â
âDonât call her that.â Steve snaps, but even he has to admit that Eddieâs help is needed. With him carrying half your weight, Steve is able to breathe a little easier. Youâre better balanced this way. Heâs no longer straining his injuries to support you.Â
Eddie winces. âIâm sorry, just⊠trying to lighten the mood, I guess.â
Steve doesnât say anything, but the silence stretches on and you feel bad for Eddie. He really is trying. Despite the fact that heâs Hawkinsâ most wanted, he still tries to make everyone else laugh. He has to know that heâs never getting out of this alive, and you admire the strength it must take to continue laughing anyways.Â
So you try to for him as well. âThank you, by the way. You saved our lives back there.â
Eddie looks at you funny, he hadnât expected you to acknowledge it. âShit, Steve saved his own ass, man.â
âThatâs true,â you laugh. By the time the fight finished, Steve had somehow managed to fight his way out by himself. âIt was impressive.â
âNo it wasnât.âÂ
Eddie scoffs at Steveâs dismissal. âPlease, that was a real Ozzy move you pulled back there.â
âOzzy?â Steve looks at you, silently asking for some type of explanation, but you shrug.Â
âAll I know is that heâs in Black Sabbath.â Jonathan occasionally listened to the band whenever he was particularly angry, but not enough for you to understand Eddieâs obscure reference.Â
Eddie makes a surprised, but pleased, sound. âHonestly surprised you even know Black Sabbath, but câmon. Ozzy Osbourne, he bit a batâs head off onstage. You seriously havenât heard about that?â
You and Steve stare at him blankly, and he sighs. âWell, it was very metal. Thatâs what Iâm trying to say.â
Steve scoffs again, but deep down you know heâs preening. Itâs not everyday someone commends his strength or recognizes how well he can hold his own. Steve has come a long way since his first fight with Jonathan back at the alley.Â
âI think I finally get why my brother likes you so much,â you tell Eddie, looking up at him curiously. âYou know a lot of weird facts. He goes crazy for them.â
That, and youâre finding that Eddie isnât so bad when he isnât surrounded by his goonies. Heâs actuallyâŠÂ decent when he isnât putting on a show for everyone. Itâs almost reminiscent of how Steve had once been, back when he was the King.Â
But if you ever pointed out that similarity to the boys, you know theyâd be deeply offended.Â
The corners of Eddieâs mouth tilt up. âYeah, well. The kid adores you and practically worships Steve.â
âHe does?â Steve almost sounds bashful at the idea of Dustin worshiping him. It makes your heart constrict. You both miss your brother terribly.Â
Eddie nods. âOh yeah, itâs kinda annoying, to be honest. Especially when all he talks about is Y/N. If he isnât talking about you, heâs talking about her.â
âI doubt thatâs true,â you shake your head. âHe doesnât need me anymore, heâs practically counting down the days until I leave.â
âNah, man. Dustin tells me all the time how much heâll miss you when you leave.â Eddie tells you, voice firm. âKid always talks about how much you look out for him, that he doesnât know what heâll do when youâre gone. In a way, itâs annoyingly endearing. He frets over you just as much as you fret over him. I can see the Henderson charm in him that made you Hawkinsâ sweetheart.âÂ
Everything that Eddie tells you leaves your throat sticky with tears. You didnât know, you couldnât know all Dustin said about you. For the longest time you thought heâd grown to hate you, to resent you the way kids often do with their family. You wouldâve never blamed him; sometimes people just grow up, grow apart, but here Eddie is, telling you that your brother will miss you when youâre gone.Â
Unable to say anything in fear that youâll cry, the only response you give Eddie is a curt, short nod.
Steve rubs your side tenderly, understanding all youâre unable to say. Eddie feels the touch against his own side and he clears his throat. He knows you want him to change the subject. âAdmittedly, I got a little jealous. Hearing the little shrimp talk about you as if you hung the goddamn stars yourself.âÂ
The irony of it all crashes upon you. While you had been jealous of Eddie, he had been jealous of you. The two of you spent months quarreling over Dustin, youâd been uncharacteristically mean to Eddie, and yet the entire time you envied the other.Â
Abandonment can make people cruel.Â
âI was jealous of you, too.â You finally reveal to Eddie, meeting his eyes for the first time tonight.Â
Eddie stares back at you, his expression softens with understanding. He seems to have pieced together what you have: your anger had never been cruel, only defensive. Protective of your brother the way only a sister would in fear of losing him.Â
âGuess that makes us both idiots, huh?â Eddie teases gently, accepting the offering of truce that you present to him.Â
You laugh, looking away. The moment of truce is nice, pleasant almost, until the beat of silence becomes too unbearable for you. Youâve revealed enough of yourself tonight. Awkwardly clearing your throat, you lift your arm from Eddieâs shoulder and pull away. âRobin is probably missing me right now. She hates the dark, these woods are her worst nightmare.â
Steve catches your arm before you leave. Youâre still unsteady on your feet, but he understands what youâre trying to do. Heâs come to learn that you shut away when youâre vulnerable. While you wear your heart on your sleeve, Steve knows that it can be exhausting for you.Â
âNeed me to call her over?â He asks you quietly.
âNo, I can manage.â You kiss Steveâs cheek, thanking him without having to say it. Eddie smiles at you as you leave, tight lipped, but kind nonetheless.Â
The two teens watch you slowly make your way over to Robin, who happily welcomes your presence. She wraps her arms around you and holds you tightly, giggling slightly, before holding you close and helping you walk.Â
âIâll bring her back in one piece!â Robin calls to Steve, giggling under her breath. Steve waves his hand sarcastically, but doesnât argue. Turning to you, Robinâs face shines in the blue moonlight. âYou here to save me from this totally creepy, absolutely horrid woods?â
âDuh,â your laughter reflects hers. âIâm your knight in shining armor, babe.â
Robin squeezes your hand, resting her head against yours as you walk together. Itâs been a long time since youâve held each other like this. The realization makes you guilty. âHowâve you been holding up?â
Robin shrugs, the motion jostles your head, but you donât mind. âWeâre in the Upside Down, some guy named Vecna wants you and Max dead, and you refuse to admit that youâre scared.â
You bite your lip. Robin is just as worried for you as Steve is, sheâs just hidden it better, and you wish that you could spare her the worry. Sheâs put up such a strong front for you. Between Steve, Dustin, Lucas, and Max, Robin knew you didnât want yet another person coddling you.
So she stepped back, gave you the space you wanted, but youâre still her best friend. Robin wonât let you forget that.
âIâm sorry,â you whisper to her, holding onto her as tightly as she holds onto you.Â
Robin shrugs again. âNothing to forgive, pretty girl.â
And itâs as simple as that.
Though Steve canât hear your conversation, he watches you and Robin fondly. The two of you sway together, laughing occasionally. Eddie notices the way Steve looks at you and laughs to himself.Â
âYou know, I was jealous of you, too.â
Steve raises his eyebrow. âWhat?â
âI was jealous of you and Henderson, the little one, I mean. Guess I couldnât accept the fact that Steve Harrington was actually a good dude. I mean, rich parents, popular, chicks love him, not a douche? No way dude. That like, flies in the face of all laws in the universe and my own personal Munson doctrine.â
Then Eddie motions towards you. âAnd when you started dating Y/N? Câmon, man. Everyone knows Y/N Henderson is like, Godâs gift to selflessness. I watched her tutor kids in the library like goddamn Gandhi, and suddenly sheâs dating you? There isnât any law in the universe to explain that. Fucking unfair.â
Though he knows he should be offended, Steve finds himself laughing. If heâs being honest, heâs relieved that someone else is questioning whether Steve deserves you. From the moment he met you, youâve tried convincing him that heâs always deserved you. But Steve knows better, and he canât believe itâs Eddie Munson who sees this, too.Â
âIf it makes you feel any better, I also donât know why Y/N chose me.â Steve confesses, catching Eddieâs attention. âHonestly, I donât think I ever wouldâve been someone she even liked had we not been dragged into the Upside Down together. I was a douchebag. She hated me for years, but I guess saving her life a few times earned me some brownie points.âÂ
Eddie snorts. âSurprised youâre not claiming it was your âstunningly good looksâ that made Y/N fall for you. Oh how humble youâve become.â
âY/N changed me.â Steveâs eyes find your body again. They will always draw towards you no matter where you are.
The sincerity in Steveâs voice surprises Eddie. Licking his lips, he sighs. âWell whatever she did, I never wouldâve jumped in that lake to save your ass, not under any normal circumstances.â A branch snaps, Steve and Eddie turn to its source, but thereâs nothing there. Sighing again, Eddie continues to walk. âOutside of DnD, Iâm no hero. I see danger and I just turn heel and run⊠at least, thatâs what Iâve learned about myself this week.â
Steve doesnât know where Eddie is going with this. âHey, give yourself a break, man.â
Eddie points to you, Robin, and Nancy walking up ahead. âNo, you see. The only reason I came in here was âcause those ladies came in straight after you. I was too ashamed to be the one who stayed behind. But Y/N? She dove in the second your head went under. Nearly tore Robinâs arm off trying to get to you.â
Something heavy settles in Steveâs chest. Thereâs a shift, thereâs something that simmers deep into his rib cage.Â
Eddie forces Steve to look at him. âI donât know how you did it, but she loves you. The way she was screaming your name, it was an unambiguous sign of true love that these cynical eyes have ever seen. And if someone like Y/N Henderson loves you⊠then I figured you must be worth saving.â
Steveâs breath stutters. He looks up at you again, the warmth that cascades his veins whenever he sees you overwhelms him. Steve loves you more than anything. To be told how deeply you love him by someone else is almost too much.Â
You and Steve have been fighting so much recently. Heâs said awful things to you, youâve hurt him in ways he hadnât known he could hurt. All the unspoken words, all the uncertainty and fear, and yet you dove in to save Steve without hesitating.Â
And isnât that all that love is? To love without expectations, without hesitancy. Love is the inability to separate your breath from the personâs lungs; you took all the air out of Steveâs chest the moment you smiled at him.Â
Youâre the best goddamn thing that has ever happened to Steve. Heâs always known this, heâs always known that what the two of you have is special. Itâs something more than just young love.Â
So what if the future you envision doesnât align with Steveâs? How could something so small, so miniscule as compared to forever with you, be what Steve allows to drive you away? You deserve more than just his insecurities. Youâve already decided that Steve deserves your love, what more can he want from you?
He already has you; Steve wonât let you walk away from him. Not this time, not when what you have is rare and real and raw.Â
Steve almost wants to laugh at how funny it is. Heâd been so worried about losing you, that he almost lost you in the process. Whatâs even worse: it took a five minute conversation with fucking Eddie Munson to even realize it.Â
âY/N, sheâsââ Steve begins, but the ground starts to shake again and heâs falling. Eddie curses, sick of these earthquakes, and Steve braces himself as the rumbling continues.Â
Robin struggles to hold onto you as you cower together under the earthâs violent shaking. Instinctively your head turns toward Steve to make sure heâs okay. You find him on the ground next to Eddie. Sensing your eyes on him, Steve looks up and nods reassuringly at you. Relieved, you breathe against Robin.Â
âSecond on my list of least favorite things,â she says, voice shaking. âEarthquakes. Seriously, Iâm unsteady enough as it is.â
âAt least you have two working legs.â You quip.
Robin shushes you, but her voice raises when she sees Nancy stand and take off. âNancy!â
Squinting at the darkness, you see the girlâs figure disappearing into the treeline. Sheâs running alarmingly fast, way too fast for anyone to catch up in time, and your heart lurches. None of you should be splitting up right now. It isnât safe. âFuck! Someone stop her!â
Robin quickly throws you onto your feet and you call after Steve and Eddie to follow. If running was difficult with a bleeding out leg, itâs almost impossible with the ground shaking beneath you. But if Nancyâs in trouble, you need to get to her as soon as you can. Leg be damned.
Breaking through the treeline, you find her standing at the edge of a clearing. There are fallen trees everywhere. Red lightning illuminates the Wheeler house before you. By some miracle, youâve made it.
âCome on.â Nancy breaks the silence, chin held high. She isnât giving up now, not when youâre all so close.Â
She starts to walk, never looking back, and you look at Steve. He grabs your hand. You take a deep breath. You fucking hope Nancyâs plan works.Â
This is your only chance of going home.
âÂ
The Wheeler house is exactly how you remember it, only vines and debris maims its usually pristine appearance. Nancy walks through the door first while Steve shines a flashlight. Particles float everywhere. You try not to think about the fact that youâre inhaling them.
Your foot catches on a stray vine, its tendrils flail angrily at you. Stomping your foot away, you look wearily at Nancy. âLove the decor.â
She rolls her eyes while Robin echoes you. âMight be time to get a maid, Wheeler.â
Ignoring the two of you, Nancy ushers everyone upstairs. While her voice is level, the unease in her body is apparent. She doesnât like seeing her home this way. Sympathetic, you start to follow Nancy, but for a split second you think you hear Dustinâs voice.
Itâs faint, mostly incoherent, and you think youâve finally gone crazy. Thatâs it. Vecna has won, youâve lost the remaining sanity you had left.Â
But then Steve suddenly freezes next to you. His bewilderment tells you that he hears Dustin, too. Thatâs your brother. Youâd know his nasally voice anywhere.
Sharing a look with Steve, you simultaneously begin running around the house, trying to follow the sound of Dustinâs voice. You remember Will telling you how he could hear Joyceâs cries for him while heâd been trapped in the Upside Down. It had been the only way Joyce could communicate with him. What if this is the same?
âStart screaming,â you command Steve, limping over to one of the walls.Â
âIâm sorry?â
âItâs what Will did, he-he screamed for his mom and Joyce was able to hear him.â You press our mouth close to the wall and shout, âDustin!âÂ
He has to hear you. You donât know what youâll do if he doesnât.
Steve wastes no time following along, screaming Dustinâs name at the top of his lungs as well. You know the two of you must look like complete idiots, but youâre desperate.
âDustin! Dustin Henderson you have five seconds to answer me!â You yell, throat burning.
âHello? Answer us!â Steve stands in the center of the kitchen, crouched down as if getting ready to bolt.Â
This is how Nancy, Robin, and Eddie find you. The three of them stare at you and Steve in concern, though none of them want to get any closer. Robin ducks her head down, whispers, âMaybe they really do have rabies.â
âWhat are you guys doing?â Nancy demands, fed up.Â
âHeâs here,â Steve whips his flashlight around, facing them. âHenderson. That little shit, heâs here. Heâs like-heâs in the walls or something. Just listen.â
Dustin, predictably, is quiet the moment Steve tells everyone to listen.Â
You pound on the wall. âOh, now youâre quiet?â Everyone looks at you skeptically and you rub your face tiredly. âLook, I know this all sounds crazy, but I can hear Dustin, alright? Itâs him.â
âDustin!â Steve continues to screech, not helping your whole âwe arenât crazyâ argument.Â
Only Dustinâs voice returns, and thankfully Nancy and everyone else hears it. Together you all search the house, calling your brotherâs name out. Yet now matter how loud you scream, he doesnât respond.
âAlright, either this kid canât hear us or heâs being a total douchebag.â Steve drops his flashlight.
You blow hair out of your face. âNormally heâs a douchebag, but not nearly to this extent.â
Nancy stands next to you. âBut Will found a way to make Joyce listen.â
âWhen Joyce couldnât hear him anymore, she used the Christmas lights.â You look at her. âDo you thinkâŠ?â
Sheâs already running to the nearest lamp in the kitchen. Flicking the switch, nothing happens. You suggest trying a different light, though you know it wonât make a difference. When the lights remain unlit, you slam your palm against the table in frustration.Â
âGuys?â Steve gets your attention. Heâs shining his flashlight at the chandelier that hangs over the Wheelerâs dining table. âYou seeing this?â
Where Steve points his flashlight, a warm, evanescent glow emits from the chandelier. You gasp at its beauty, youâve never seen anything like it. Nancy steps towards the light and slowly puts her hand into the loose waves that flow between the lights. Itâs encased in small orbs that float gently into the air.Â
Nancyâs fingers dance in the light. A path of gold leaves a trail where her fingers have been. The particles in the light surround her hand, pulled in by her presence. Breathless, you reach out as well. The light kisses your hand, and the sensation is soft, almost ticklish.Â
âThis is insane,â you murmur in awe, face illuminated. You never thought youâd encounter beauty in such a place as the Upside Down. But at least Will found the beauty, too. âThis must be how Will did it.â
Robin, Steve, and Eddie copy you and Nancy, putting their hands into the light as well. The five of you twirl your fingers around, causing the light to flicker with every movement.Â
Steveâs pinky reaches for yours. âIt⊠tickles?âÂ
âIt kinda feels good.â Mumbles Robin, making figure 8âs with her finger.Â
Nancy then lowers her hand and asks if anyone knows morse code. She mostly looks at you when you ask, and you bitterly tell her no. Youâd think after everything you and the party have been through, youâd at least learn morse code by now.Â
âWait, does SOS count?âÂ
Eddieâs stupid question makes you hit his chest. âOf course it counts!â
âOw!â He shoves you away from him, straightening his leather jacket. âA âyesâ wouldâve sufficed.â
Nancy shushes the two of you and instructs Eddie to start typing out the code. With a huff, he listens, and soon he begins the pattern for SOS. A soft buzz accompanies every flicker of the light. With each letter combination, you can practically feel Dustin getting closer and closer to you.Â
Itâs almost an indescribable feeling. Somewhere, in another universe, Dustin is standing right where you are. You arenât sure how you know, maybe youâll never be able to find the right words, but your brotherâs presence settles over your own.Â
This must be how Jonathan felt when Joyce was in the Upside Down. He whispered her name so softly when he followed her with the lights. Their love for one another tethered them; now itâs your love for Dustin that tethers him to you.Â
âDustin,â his name comes out whispered, relieved. Heâs okay, you can feel that heâs safe.Â
âY/N?â Dustinâs muffled shouting fills everyone with relief. Steve and Eddie high five, Nancy lets out the breath sheâd been holding, and Robin cheers while you hastily wipe your eyes. The SOS worked. âIs that-is that you?â
âYes!â Steve screams into the chandelier, though you know your brother wonât be able to hear.
Anxious to get to Dustin as fast as you can, you shove your hands into the chandelierâs light and send a long, bright beam of light. More muffled screaming can be heard on the other side, only this time laughter accompanies it.
âHoly shit!â Dustin exclaims in awe. The amazement in his voice makes you miss him even more. Thereâs a murmur of other voices, you can only assume one of them is Lucasâ, before Dustin shouts even louder, âWeâre gonna find you a better light source. Donât move.â
You roll your eyes. âLike we can go anywhere else.â
Dustin leaves again, but heâs back within minutes. Through loud screaming, he tells you to find Hollyâs Lite Brite and go to Nancyâs room. Him and Lucas will meet the rest of you there.Â
The moment Dustin leaves again, Nancy shoves everyone upstairs. âIâll find the light pad, the rest of you go. Now.âÂ
And thatâs how you find yourself restlessly staring at a childâs light up toy on Nancy Wheelerâs bed with Steveâs chest pressed against your back. He leans close to the toy, mumbling under his breath, âCome on, little Henderson.â
The Lite Brite suddenly comes to life. You throw your hands up triumphantly, giddy. âYes!â
âYou guys seeing this?â Dustin asks, to which Nancy responds by putting her hand into the light. Dustin squeals in excitement. This must be a scientific dream for him. âOkay, weâre not moving it, but weâre gonna unplug it. Stand by.â
The light fades away and Dustin prompts someone to spell something. Everyone turns to you. Heâs your brother, you should be the one to make first contact.Â
Carefully, you use your pointer finger to spell out D.U.S.T.
Eddie cocks his head. ââDustâ?â
âHeâll understand.âÂ
When your mom first brought Dustin home from the hospital, heâd been so small. Immediately you fell in love with the small baby, but his size had confused you. Youâd never seen anything so tiny before.Â
âHeâs small,â you informed your father, making a face at the yawning baby before you. âLike dust.â
You were only three, but you can still remember the way your dad had laughed. For years afterwards you never referred to Dustin by his actual name. He was only ever âDustâ to you. Your father joined, the nickname stuck, though your mother came to prefer âDusty.â
It was only after your father left that you stopped calling your brother Dust.Â
âDust!â Dustin laughs excitedly. âIâm Dust! Yes!â He raises his voice louder, he canât believe you remembered the old childhood nickname. âThat worked, guys!â
Everyone cheers, Eddie even throws in his own enthusiastic âhiâ to the Lite Brite. Your face aches from how hard you smile. Turning the toy over to Nancy, you nod at her. âAll yours, Wheeler.â
Her eyebrows knit together as she thinks for a moment. Thereâs so much to tell Dustin and the others, but the Lite Brite is small and too many words to keep track of. âWhat should I write?â
ââHelpâ would be a pretty good place to start.â You suggest to her.Â
Instead, Nancy ends up spelling âstuckâ. Which is pretty fitting, all things considered. Gets the message across well.Â
âYou canât get back through Watergate?â
Steve questions whatever the hell watergate is and Robin has to explain the wordplay. While she does so, pride swells deep within your chest. âDustinâs a little genius that I love so much.â
âIt was pretty clever.â Eddie admits.Â
Nancy tells Dustin that the gate you all came through is guarded. However, never missing a beat, Dustin tells you that he thinks they have a theory that can help. âWe think Watergate isnât the only gate, that thereâs one at every murder site.â
You jerk your head up, eyes widening. It all makes sense now. âWait, I think heâsââ
âDoes anyone have any idea what heâs talking about?â Nancy asks tiredly. Everyone gives her equally tired noâs, but you nod viciously.
âYes! We already know thereâs multiple gates, we just didnât know how, but Dustin mightâve figured it out. Itâs all connected to the murders.â
Nancy looks skeptical. âI donât knowâŠâ Before you can argue with her, she sends a â?â back to Dustin.Â
Who, predictably, doesnât take it well. âSeriously? How many times do I have to be right on the money before you guys just trust me?â
Steve grimaces. âJesus Christ. This kidâs gotta get his ego checked out.âÂ
âItâs his tone, right?â Eddie butts in.
You shove them both. âShut up. Both of you. Dustin can be annoying and frustrating, but heâs right. Heâs always been right. Now if you guys would actually listen, heâll get us out of here.â
Looking pointedly at everyone, you start to explain. âThere was a gate in Loverâs Lake, which we obviously found,â your arms wave behind you. âThe same lake where Patrick died. Now, where else has a dead body been found?â
âEddieâs trailer,â Nancy straightens, understanding where youâre going with this. Looking at Eddie, she asks him how far it is.Â
âSeven miles.âÂ
Your head drops. âWhy couldnât you have lived closer?â
âIâm sorry Iâm⊠poor?â Eddie looks at you incredulously.Â
You flick a dismissive hand at him, but Robin cuts in between you two. âNancy, I know your house here is, like, weirdly, creepily frozen in time and shitââ
âItâs what?â Obviously you missed some important details.Â
Robin holds her hand up. âIâll explain later. Anyways, havenât you always had bikes?â
You and Nancy share a look, both thinking the same thing: the bikes would be perfect. That, and theyâre kinda your only option at the moment.Â
âÂ
Since youâre in no condition to bike (your thigh has only just stopped bleeding) and thereâs only four bikes anyways, Steve has you wrap your arms around his chest and stand on his pegs. He claims itâs so that you can avoid putting any weight on your leg, but you honestly think he just wants you to hold him. Pressing your body close to his, you look around at the houses you pass.
In a strange, twisted way, itâs exhilarating biking through an Upside Down Hawkins. Everything, and yet nothing, is the same. The houses you pass are frozen in time, empty, ghostly. Robin, Nancy, and Eddie bike alongside you and Steve. The scene is almost reminiscent of the night you biked Will home, wind in your hair and the night sky before you.Â
Everything has changed since then.
Somewhere along the route to Eddieâs, you bike past the Creel house. Your arms tighten instinctively around Steve. A chill runs through you, the house is just as haunting in the Upside Down as it is back in your universe. Your head throbs being so close to it, as if warning you, but Steve is turning into Eddieâs neighborhood before you can think much else of it.Â
âThatâs gotta be a Guinness World Record.â Robin throws her bike down, breathless. âMost miles traveled interdimensionally.â
Steve coughs, swatting at the particles in the air. âJust inhaled a bunch of that crap.â
âIâve been trying not to think about how much of the Upside Down weâve ingested since being here.â
âItâs stuck in my throat, Y/N.â
âAgain, Iâm trying not to think about that.â
Eddie opens his trailer door and, just as Dustin predicted, thereâs a gate. Itâs just like the one in Loverâs lake had been: illuminating red light, vines all around its edges. An open wound.Â
âThis is where Chrissy died.â Eddie stares up at the gate, which resides in the ceiling. He swallows heavily. âLike, right where she died.â
âIâm sorry.â Your hand finds Eddieâs arm. You donât know much about what their relationship had been, but he seems to have cared about the girl a lot.Â
Eddie gives you a tight lipped smile, his eyes shining slightly. As he looks at you, Robin sees something moving in the gate. âI think thereâs something in there.â
Something starts to protrude from it, causing the gate to swell rapidly. The vines almost seem to snarl at the intrusion. An ominous, unsteady croak emits from the gate. The sound sets your nerves on edge and Steve shoves you behind him protectively. Hand on your knives, you raise them, bracing.Â
The gate explodes, spewing liquid and vines everywhere. You all scream, jumping back, as something rips through the membrane-like material. Unable to tell whatâs just happened, you squint up at the ceiling.
Nothing jumps out at you, no bats come to feast on your flesh. Finding Steveâs eye, you silently ask him if you should walk closer. Nodding, he grabs your hand, and together you creep towards the remains of the gate.
When you look up, you find Dustinâs smug, joyous face staring back at you. Only heâs upside down with Max, Lucas, and Erica, all just as in shock as you are.
Youâve never been more relieved to see them in your life. Dropping your hands to your knees, you bend over and finally breathe. âOh, thank God.â
âNo wayâŠâ Steve waves at them, and they wave right back. âHi.â
âDustin!â If your leg wasnât hanging by a thread, youâd be jumping up and down right now. Instead, you opt for waving like a madman at your brother. The entire situation is so fucking bizarre, but you donât even care anymore. âYou did it!â
âI did it!â Dustin giggles. âBada bada boom!â
After some heated discussions and a few arguments, Dustin and the others come up with a way to get the five of you out of the Upside Down. Using Eddieâs bed sheets as a makeshift rope had been the easy part. What caused nearly a fist fight between Max and Dustin had been figuring out a soft landing pad for you guys.Â
âI, uh. Have a mattress?â Eddie finally suggested when he noticed Maxâs fist clenching.Â
She glared at him. âWhy didnât you say anything sooner?â
âWell, I mean. Itâs-uh. Minor details?â
But none of them had time to question Eddieâs sudden shyness regarding his mattress. Dustin got straight to work tying the bed sheets together while Max and Lucas worked on dragging the mattress out of Eddieâs room.Â
However, the moment it landed on the ground, all eyes went to the giant stains on the bed. Cringing in disgust, you eye Eddie.
Seeing your disapproving look, he swallows. âThose stains are, uhâŠâ He tries to come up with an excuse, but eventually he realizes itâs better to just accept defeat. âI donât know what those stains are.â
âWould we want to know even if you knew?â You ask him, already knowing the answer.
â... Probably not.â
Dustin tosses the bed sheet rope up, or rather down, through the gate. âNot quite sure how these physics are gonna work, but here goes nothing.â
Miraculously, it lands perfectly in front of you. Dustin tugs at the rope before letting go of it completely. You gasp. The rope stands on its own, stiff but secure, and Dustin lets out a pleased laugh. âAbracadabra.â
âIâve never understood physics.â You say, pulling at the rope. It doesnât move. âBut even I can admit that this is cool.â
Dustin high fives Erica and Robin steps up first. âGuess Iâm the guinea pig.â
âPlease be careful.â You tell her, already dreading your own ascent. Your shoulder still aches and you were never the best at climbing the rope for gym. You preferred soccer, track, anything that involved leg coordination. Not upper body.Â
Robin slowly climbs up, and when her body hits the disgusting mattress back in your dimension, you let out a breath of relief. âThat was kinda fun,â Robin giggles slightly.
Then Eddie stares at you, Steve, and Nancy. He waits for someone to move, obviously not wanting to be next. But when no one does, he shakes his head. âAlright, I guess Iâll go.â
Steve holds the rope steady and Eddie falls onto his mattress safely. He sits up, exhilarated. âThat was fun.â He echoes Robin.Â
Steve gestures for Nancy to go next. âIâll help Y/N up after youâre done.â
She gives him an uncertain look, eyeing your injuries, and you try to smile at her reassuringly. âGo, Iâll be fine. Promise.â
Knowing itâs as good of an answer sheâll get from you, Nancy takes a deep breath. âSee you on the other side.â
You grab her waist and help hoist her up alongside Steve. Sheâs swift, her strength impresses you. Sheâs almost reached the top before you hear the first chime.Â
Itâs loud, deafening. The chime of a grandfather clock.
Another chime follows, then a third, a fourth. It wracks your skull with its force.Â
You turn, gasping, expecting to find the grandfather clock that Max had seen in her vision. Only youâre met with darkness. You canât see anything, you canât find a way out. You canât feel Steve next to you, your hands try to find his in the dark, but all theyâre met with is air.Â
âWhatââ Panic chokes you. None of this is right, you donât know where you are, you donât know whatâs happening and you canât feel Steve andâ
The sensation of sunlight kissing your face stops you.Â
Your eyes open. Youâre no longer in Eddieâs trailer.Â
Youâre outside, thereâs sunshine all around you. In front of you is a field of dandelions, their sweet yellow reflects the gold of the sun above. The grass beneath your feet is soft, lush and green. A bee flies past your head and someone calls your name.
Youâve been here before. In the distance resides a small house on a hill. The blue door and white frames of your childhood home welcomes you. Youâre back in Virginia. Someone calls your name again.
The voice is familiar.Â
Itâs your father, calling you home.Â
The realization knocks all the air out of your lungs. None of this is real. You know it isnât real, but to hear your fatherâs voice, so sweet and saccharine again, it makes you weak. But it isnât real. Your legs begin to move, youâre running before you can think of anything else.Â
This is a vision. The scent of oak trees and strawberries isnât real. The wheat that skims your thighs as you run doesnât exist. âThis is a vision,â you try to talk to yourself, your fingers dig into your pockets for your walkman.Â
You know youâre supposed to always have it on you, thatâs what Dustin told you, but thereâs nothing there. Panic swells within your chest once more. âNo, pleaseââ
Distracted as you look for your walkman, you donât see the body in front of you.
Colliding into your father, he steadies you. âWoah, there.â
His calloused hands are rough and familiar. Heâs laughing, his voice is the same gruff voice that used to sing you to sleep. Your father looks down at you and your entire body freezes when your eyes meet his.Â
You havenât seen him ever since you were twelve. He looks the same as the day he left. His smile is the same, the crooked teeth charming. Your fatherâs nose still points up ever so slightly. The only indication that heâs aged are the wrinkles that line his face, years of sunlight etching them.Â
But itâs his eyes that hurt you the most. Theyâre still kind.Â
âWhat are ya runninâ from, ladybug?â Your father asks you, his southern drawl liquid honey to your ears.Â
Tears build within you hearing the childhood nickname. You were his ladybug for as long as you could remember. When he used to call, heâd whisper the name over the phone as an apology for everything heâd done to you.Â
Because you canât help it, because youâll never be able to do this again, you hug your father. He lets out a soft chuckle at the impact, his arms hold you as theyâve always done. Your face buries itself into his rough t-shirt.
Youâre a little girl who needs her daddy right now.Â
âI.. I missed you, daddy.â Voice breaking, you begin to cry.Â
Your fatherâs palm rests against your hand. He hums, soothing the ache in your bones. âYou know you can never outrun it.â
The words unsettle you, thereâs something about them that causes you to pull away. âOutrun whatâ?â âThe guilt, ladybug. It will always find you.â Your fatherâs smile twists into a sickening grimace. The muscles in his face conjoin, his eyes darken as his voice becomes gravel. Deeper. Until it isnât your fatherâs voice anymore, but someone else's. âIÂ will always find you.â
Too late do you realize that itâs Vecna who now has you. You start to scream, thrashing in your fatherâs arms to escape, but he only grips you harder. Heâs laughing, but itâs no longer your fatherâs laughter.Â
Suddenly youâre thrown into the lake behind you. You fall, screaming, as you descend deep into a pitch black void. Your arms reach out, you try to find anything to grab onto, but thereâs nothing. Itâs just endless emptiness.Â
You land harshly on your back, all the air gone. You gasp, choke on whatever air remains in your body. The impact leaves you coughing, clawing at the ground beneath you to breathe. Soil scrapes under your nails, your palm gets cut on a root.
Youâre in the woods.Â
Scrambling to sit up, you realize youâre in the same part of the woods that Will went missing in. Fear cuts through your veins. Why would Vecna take you here?
âWill?â Youâre on your feet now, cupping your hands over your mouth as you shout his name. Does Vecna have him? Have you lost him again? âWill!â
âHe needed you that night.â Vecnaâs voice taunts you, the sound like rocks grinding together. âWhere were you?â
Youâre running now. Branches cut your face as you break through them. You have to find Will. You canât lose him again. You canât do that to Jonathan, to Joyce and El and Dustin and Mike and everyone else. Youâre the one who lost Will that night.
He had needed you. Isnât that what Vecna said?
âNancy!â Sobbing, you call for someone, anyone. But no one answers. Your vision blurs with tears, thereâs someone running behind you. Chasing you. Terrified, you scream for the person you need the most. âSteve!â
Saying his name must trigger something, because suddenly the scene changes. Youâre no longer in the woods. Youâre on the ledge of someoneâs roof, overlooking a window sill. A large, bay window that youâve spent countless slow mornings residing on.Â
Steveâs house.Â
Heâs standing in front of his bed, facing the window, facing you, but he doesnât look at you. Not how he always does; his gaze lacks warmth.Â
âSteve!â You pound on the glass, you try desperately to get him to acknowledge you, but he doesnât. His eyes are on Nancy, who sits on the bed before him. He leans down, brushes her hair out of her face, before bridging the distance between them.
You watch as Steve kisses Nancy. He cups her chin the way he cups yours. Bile rises in your throat; you canât turn away. Their kisses become heated, Steve is tugging at Nancyâs hair and her clothes. She tugs at him as well, he helps her remove his shirt.
Nancyâs lips trace the expanse of Steveâs neck and his eyes, once closed in bliss, now open. He looks right at you.Â
âDid you really think Iâd forget her, Y/N?â His voice digs into your ears. Nancy nips at his neck and he moans. He throws his head back, looks at you again. âI canât. At least, not as easily as your dad forgot you.â
You stumble back, crying so hard you can barely breathe. Steve laughs seeing your heartbroken reaction. Itâs cruel and awful. Heâs cold. Youâve never known his voice to hold so much malice. Not towards you. Not towards anyone.Â
Heâs wrong. Steve doesnât love Nancy, not anymore. Vecna is the one saying this, you know it isnât Steve. He would never say any of this to you, he could never be so cruel to you. He loves you. You know he does.Â
âN-no! This isnât-this isnât realââ
But the hatred in Steveâs eyes causes your foot to catch on the edge of the roof. You donât have time to catch yourself; your body is weightless again, only this time itâs a much shorter fall. You land on concrete. Ripping your eyes open, there are domed walls around you.Â
Nancy stands above you.Â
Hyperventilating, you crawl away from her. Youâre in Steveâs pool, only itâs empty, infested with vines, and your fingers stain the ground with blood. Everything in your body is screaming at you to run.
âY/Nââ Nancy tries to stop you, but you scream at her, kicking. She only barely avoids your fury. Holding her hands up, she lowers her voice, softens it. Sheâs crying, her terror the same as yours. âY/N, itâs me, okay?â
Your body trembles with exhaustion. You close your eyes, tired of fighting. âPlease be real.â
âIâm real.â Nancy swears to you, carefully reaching for you. When you allow her touch, she helps you stand up.Â
The memory of her having sex with Steve is burned into your mind. You canât look Nancy in the eye. She breathes heavily next to, looking around for a way out, when she sees something. A strangled cry leaves Nancyâs lips.
Barbara Hollandâs corpse sits on the other side of the pool.
You cover your mouth with a gasp, choking slightly at the sight. Nancy cries out in pain, in grief, seeing her best friendâs body dismembered by vines. You stumble towards Nancy and hold her as she sobs.Â
âDo you remember what you did, Nancy? Or have you already forgotten?â Vecnaâs voice shakes the pool. âDonât worry, I showed Y/N. When I kill someone⊠I never forget.â
A sob collapses in your chest. Barbâs death hadnât been Nancyâs fault. Yet to place her in the same pool Barb was killed in, to show Nancy her corpse, is unrelenting cruelty.Â
All around you, blood pours from the vents of the pool. It comes out quick, thick, at a dizzying speed. Nancy tugs at your hand and practically throws you up the ladder to escape. But when you reach the top, youâre met with a red hell.
Itâs exactly how Max drew it.
Fragments of stairs, jagged pieces of wood, a grandfather clock, they all drift through the air painted with blood-red. Somewhere thereâs screaming, the sound only drowned out by lightning. A clock ticks over and over again. Its metronome is maddening.
Nancy holds your hand and neither one of you lets go. Having nowhere else to go, youâre forced to walk down the stairs you arrived at. The clock chimes again and your heart stops.
âI see youâve been looking for me, Nancy. And Y/NâŠâ Vecna pauses, preying on you. âIâve been watching you for quite some time.â
Everything stops.
âAll the guilt, all the pain.âÂ
It comes to you in flashes.Â
How Will used to smile at you, before his childhood was taken from him. Maxâs blue eyes, shining with youth and happiness, before grief killed her. Billy, how he would be kind to your mother at the pool. Hopper, the way youâd bicker with him just to get him to smile.
Itâs all gone because of you; you canât remember how to breathe.Â
Vecna feeds on your fear. âHow fragile youâve become⊠like a dandelion.âÂ
The wording, itâs too specific to not mean anything. Dandelions were once one of your favorite flowers. Before a nightmare from last summer changed everything. The dandelions had filled your mouth with razors and choked you. Someone called your name in the distance, theyâd been too late to save you.
The dream had felt so real. Youâd woken up with tears in your eyes.
And now you know it had been Vecna all along. Even back then. Heâs been watching you for far longer than you realized. The realization chokes you, the fear overwhelms you. Heâs been here all along.
Nancy yanks at your arm, you can barely hear her over the roaring in your head. âY/N, listen to my voice.âÂ
Sheâs shaking you, trying to bring you back to her, but youâre lost. Hyperventilating, you struggle to catch your breath. You feel too vulnerable. Raw. Exposed. There are corpses strung up by vines in front of you. Fredâs broken jaw. Chrissyâs snapped neck. Patrickâs empty eye sockets.Â
The same will happen to you.Â
Youâve spent so long trying to be strong, trying to keep everyone safe. Youâve devoted your entire life to protecting others, helping them. But Vecna has been watching you for almost an entire year, maybe even longer, and you hadnât noticed.
Itâs why heâs targeted Max. He watched you take care of everyone you loved. Vecna watched you raise the girl. He knew itâd hurt you the most to lose her. It hadnât been a coincidence. Itâs all your fault. Itâs always your fault. Will went missing because of you. Billy died because you hadnât said anything. Max will die because you hadnât seen the signs sooner.Â
Nancyâs screams fall deaf on your ears. She shakes you, begs you to come back, but why should you?
This is all your fault.Â
Itâs always your fault.Â
Itâs always your fault. Itâs always your fault. Itâs always your fault. Itâs alwaysâ
You feel your body lift.Â
Everything fades to black.

"I like a tall woman with a nice big ass."
König x tall+curvy!reader. Love the idea of this uptight motherfucker getting with someone who is young and wild :)
MDNI
König is dragged out to a trendy club by his subordinates and he's awkwardly folded up in a seat in the corner of the club. The flashing lights and loud music give him a headache so he steps out into the smoking area. There you are with your girlfriends, yelling something about a 'hot girl summer' and pouring tequila into each other's mouths.
He can't really ignore your group; young, foreign, and rambunctious. He can't really ignore your long legs that lead to full hips that move side to side. He can't really ignore your pierced nipples or rounded breasts that almost bust out of your tight white crop top while you jump around. He can't really ignore how soft you look. He has to look away so all the blood in his body doesn't rush to his dick.
One of his subordinates walk up to him, concerningly drunk, talking about some bullshit he doesn't care about. He ushers him back to the group before ordering them to back to base. The group complains but complies. They don't even ask why he's staying behind.
He goes off to look for you. You aren't hard too find, taller than the gaggle of women that surround you. He just stares at you from far away. You stop mid conversation with your girlfriends, the hair on the back of your neck standing up. You look around and see him staring: a clear view of each other over the tops of everyone's heads.
As unsettling as his stare is, you were used to it by now. That's apparently how Germans are? You excused yourself from your group and walked over to him. Even in your heels he was taller than you. Something you weren't used to.
"Evening."
You put your hand out. He takes it, his hands are rough and his grip strong.
"Abend."
He replies dryly. There's an awkward silence. What a charmer, this one. It didn't really matter though, he was hot. He was still holding your hand... it was getting sweaty. You pull away and wipe your hand on your skirt.
"So, uhm... Nice weather."
You try to wrangle a conversation out of him.
"Yes, it is... agreeable."
You want to laugh. He was kind of pathetic. It made him hotter somehow. You convince him to take a shot with you, hoping to losen him up. You manage a few more words out of him; his age and "name". Or whatever he preferred to be called. Your girlfriends find and encircle the both of you. He immediately tenses up while they bombard the two of you with questions. You shoo them and they giggle walking off.
The rest of the night is filled with the same failed attempts at conversation. At this point it's just niceties, you're gonna sleep with him whether he talks or not. He knows that. You shoot a text to your girlfriends and share your location while he whisks you away to his place.
As soon as the door to his place closes, he pins you against the wall, grabs your neck, and plants deep kisses on your lips. It takes you back a little, expecting him to be a little more shy. But you're not complaining. You start tearing each other's shirts off, he audibly moans when your top comes off. He twirls his tongue around one pierced nipple, brushing a thumb over the other one diligently.
"So fucking beautiful, fits in my hand perfectly."
His wet mouth leaves a trail of sloppy kisses up your neck.
"Can you keep the heels on?"
He asks while unbuckling his pants. You oblige. He places a hand on your back and guides you to place your hands on a table in the hallway, making you face a mirror. You watch his face through the reflection as he lifts your skirt up, his eyes go wide. So soft and full. He's practically drooling, mumbling something about finally being able to stand and fuck someone properly for once. He pulls your panties to the side and flashes a goofy smile while rubbing himself between your slick folds. You'd laugh if you weren't absolutely horrified at how big he felt pressed up against your entrance. He looks up half-lidded,
"Fucking perfect for me, hm?"
Your knees almost buckled at his words. God, he's fucking hot. He teasingly slides his fat tip in and out of you until you beg for more, groans as he slides himself inside you. You clench around him as he gets deeper and deeper. Jesus, how much dick can one man have? He holds your hips and rocks back and forth slowly. Soft love taps to your cervix each time your hips touch his.
"Look."
He says while reaching to wrap a gentle hand around your neck to pull you back against his chest.
"See how good we look together, hm?"
You moan his name as he starts to pound into you. He's entranced with the way your soft ass bounces on his dick. He looks up into your eyes through the mirror while teasing your nipples.
"You take it better than anyone I've ever fucked before."
He kisses and nips your neck before he reaches down to grab both cheeks, spreading you out to get a better view of himself slipping in and out of you. The sight makes his dick jump inside you, which is an overwhelmingly delicious feeling. He leans over and snakes his hands around to the front of your thighs and squeezes them before sliding up between them, playing with your sensitive clit. He gets too rough with you. He thinks you can handle more since you're thicker and taller than most women he's been with. You can't. His dick is a battering ram. Your knees buckle.
"Come on mein Schatz, you can take it. Say you can take it."
How could you deny him? His voice is so soft and darling compared to the roughness of his actions. He grips your curvy hips and pulls them back onto his hips, hard. He fills you to the brim as you yelp. He didn't have a way to describe the way you made him feel. It was a nice change of pace from having to treat women like a piece of porcelain. He could rough you up a bit and you took it like a champ. He didn't have to bend in a way that made his back hurt the next morning. This was refreshing. He couldn't get enough. It went on for hours and hours.
"Made just for me."
He'd repeat into your ear every time you'd spasm around him. He folded you up and pounded into you until you couldn't see straight. He'd fondle every curve on your body, praising how nicely it bounced every time he strokes into you. You were supposed to fly out to England with your girlfriends the next day. Instead, he bought you a ticket to catch a flight after the weekend was over.

Authorâs Note:Â Hi guys! Can't believe it's been so long since I last posted. Hope you guys enjoy this one! As always, if you see any typos... no you didn't
Warnings: Fem!reader, drunk Jake (alcohol), unprotected p in v sex, cock warming, fingering, hand jobs, doing things we shouldn't in a public place, cussing, partying. 18+ ONLY. MINORS DNI
Word Count: 5k
-----------------
Late has already bled into early by the time you manage to spot Jake in the crowd again. His back is to you as he speaks excitedly to someone youâve never seen before â though thereâs a definite chance that Jake hasnât either (heâs a chatty drunk no matter how well he knows the person).Â
Tonight is a celebration of sorts. A celebration of what is to come and what they've already done. With tour on break for the holidays, the Kiszka-Wagner clan had been taking some much needed R&R after such a long and grueling schedule of shows before they have to leave again. The first few days had seen Jake lounging at home, perfectly content to spend his days entirely wrapped up with you. You had binge watched some shows that heâd missed while gone, ordered take out from all the places that heâd been craving, and over all spent almost every minute of the day within each otherâs company.Â
But Jake is a man who likes action â regardless of how much he enjoys spending time at home with you. After a few weeks of nothing, you can tell that heâs itching to be doing something again. First there had been simple dinner gatherings with your immediate friends and family, then jam sessions with the rest of his brothers that had lasted well into the night, and then finally heâd begged to go to this party tonight. Josh is hosting (no doubt heâs experiencing the very same restlessness that his twin is) and a party hosted by Josh is always a sure fire promise of a fun night.Â
So youâd happily agreed and given Jake the go ahead to let loose tonight â party as hard as he wanted for however long he wanted and you would be there to drive him home. His eyes had lit up at your offer before heâd given you a sweet kiss and a murmured thank you before scampering upstairs to call Josh and let him know that you two would be coming.Â
But as excited as Jake had been to go out tonight, heâd still periodically found his way back to you, begging you to come join him where the music is the loudest. Youâd politely declined him each time, wanting to give him time to spend with his friends and brothers after giving so much of his time to you. You know that his offer is genuine. Jake wants you by his side at all times (heâs a clingy motherfucker even when heâs sober) but you had simply told him you would prefer him to go spend time with everyone else instead. Heâd begrudgingly agreed and youâd since been spending your time watching him go from sober to tipsy and finally to actually drunk within the span of the last few hours. You liked watching him like this â smiling and carefree amongst the people that he loves (along with a number of people that youâre pretty sure Josh only invited because he likes a full house).Â
But the crowd has dwindled as the early hours of morning approach. Itâs nearing 3AM now and only some 15 people remain. Youâd been parked in a far corner for the past hour or so but youâre pulled from your spot by Jake calling your name. He, along with Josh, Daniel, and Sam, have made their ways over to the couches and chairs in Joshâs living room and consequently collapsed into them. The core group you like to call them, finding each other to close the night out amongst themselves. There are others still left elsewhere â some faces vaguely familiar and some completely foreign to you, but theyâre all far too wrapped up in their own conversations and drunken storytelling to notice that the host and family has moved somewhere else.Â
Josh sits in one of the loveseats, one arm lazily thrown around the shoulders of his partner â also suitably drunk, whoâs nuzzled into his side. Sam sits in another chair, cheeks flushed and hair a complete mess as he pours himself another drink. You know already that heâd say heâs earned it since heâs spent the night âslaving awayâ as the party DJ. That leaves Daniel and Jake left to find their seats, Daniel finding his place on one end of the sofa and Jake on the other. You make your way to them â each of the boys exclaiming excitedly at your approach.Â
âY/n!â Josh booms, the sheer loudness of him drowning out the others and startling his poor partner, âGracing is with her presence at last!âÂ
You giggle as you make your way to the sofa, eyeing the spot between Jake and Daniel.Â
âNow that you all seem to have settled down a bit I thought I would join you.âÂ
As you make to sit down, Jakeâs hands find your hips and guide you instead to sit down on his lap. He sighs contentedly as you surrender to him without a fight, easing down on the tops of his thighs and settling your back into his chest.Â
âHi.â You tell him, twisting as much as you can in his lap to turn and see his face. His cheeks are flushed and a yummy sheen of sweat adorns his neck and temples. Eyes dark and lips looking particularly plump, you press a kiss to the corner of his mouth.Â
âHi there.â He answers back. âMissed you.âÂ
He smells like alcohol and weed â a combination that seems to have left him feeling particularly touchy as his hands settle themselves possessively on your waist. Heâs warm against you, the feeling of his chest rising and falling against your back lulling you into a relaxed state as he falls effortlessly back into the conversation with the rest of the boys. His words rumble in his chest and you take the opportunity to lean your head back into the space between his neck and shoulder. The smell and heat of him sets off some carnal, feral part of your brain and you find heat of your own pooling between your thighs. You ignore the feeling, opting instead to try and focus your mind on the conversation at hand.Â
â-and so I told him that he would either have to sleep there or find someone else to take him home because I wasnât doing it.â Samâs voice wafts through the air. Youâve got no idea what heâs talking about but you have a sneaking suspicion that he probably isnât all that sure of what heâs saying either.Â
âYouâve always been a little punk ass.â Josh interjects, giggling a little bit at his own words. âSince you came out of the womb.âÂ
Sam meets him with a scowl.Â
âI just learned from the best, actually.â He snarks back, though thereâs no real heat behind his words.Â
âDonât talk about Danny like that.â Jakeâs rumbling voice interrupts and though you canât see him, you can hear the grin as he speaks. âHeâs a wonderful influence, Samuel.â
Danny laughs heartily, tossing his head back as he does so. Josh smiles like heâs just won a prize and Sam only meets Jake with an eyeroll.Â
âI was talking about you two.â He says, pointing between the twins.Â
They continue on with their bickering and you do your best to keep up with them. The few remaining guests filter their way out one by one, giving thanks to Josh on their way out. The boyâs conversations weave in and out, jumping from topic to topic as they often do. It's hard to keep up, especially as your focus strays from the conversation to the uncomfortable kink in your back from sitting in this position against Jakeâs chest. You shift a little bit, settling down further in his lap to ease the feeling. As you shift, a hiss escapes him and his hands tighten on your hips.Â
âAngel.â He whispers, tilting his head down to press his lips closer to your ear. âCareful.âÂ
You canât help the way your eyes widen and your core pulses at his tone. His words are rough and ever so slightly slurred. His fingertips dig into the meat of your thighs in a way that makes you dizzy with a sudden want for him to take you right here in front of everyone.Â
âSomething wrong?â You answer him back, turning your head and capturing his lips with yours. Alcohol and weed and Jake hit your tastebuds and you shift once again in his lap.Â
âSomethingâs hard.â He murmurs against your lips.Â
And he is.Â
You can feel him now, hot and solid against your ass. It sends your blood boiling and your cunt clenching around nothing.Â
You exhale shakily, willing your voice to remain passive and unbothered.Â
âPoor baby.â You say, turning back away from him and earning yourself a growl from deep in his chest.Â
âJake stick you with being DD for the night, Y/n?â Daniel asks, causing everyoneâs eyes to shift towards you and Jake. You can feel him tense behind you. Heâs still rock hard against you and everyoneâs eyes on him only serve to make him more excited as he tries to play it cool.Â
âI offered.â You answer Danny, dropping your hand onto Jakeâs thigh. âPlus, heâs a handful to deal with even when Iâm sober.â You squeeze his thigh. âSo I figured Iâd lay off the alcohol tonight.â
âOh heâs something alright.â Josh supplies, grinning ear to ear at his brother. You worry suddenly that he knows somehow. Freaky twin thing and all that, especially given the Cheshire smile he shoots your way. But he looks away and back to the others quickly and you dismiss the idea. Freaking twins.
Conversation divulges again and the attention falls from you and Jake. But heâs worked up now and thereâs no way heâs letting you off the hook that easily. Sober Jake is a horndog⊠drunk Jake is damn near insatiable.Â
âPlay nice.â Jake warns you, his voice just barely loud enough that you can hear it. âDonât wanna have to punish you.âÂ
That finally makes your breath stutter and halt in your chest. Jake can feel you still against him and he chuckles.Â
So the game begins.Â
Wordlessly, you shift your weight and slide your ass across his crotch. Jake bites his lip and his eyes blaze as he watches you settle your rear onto the sofa next to him with an innocent smile. With your legs draped across his hips (still keeping his hard on from being seen by everyone in the room) youâre free now to settle into his side. Youâre playing a dangerous game messing with him like this but the new position allows for you to press your calf into the growing bulge beneath his dark jeans and for your hands to settle on his midsection. Deceivingly innocent to others but filled with possibilities to tease him. Jake knows this though, and those dark eyes of his are pinned to you, lust-blown and dangerous as his breathing picks up.Â
You look away and do your best to turn your attention back to the group. Jake does the same, but the feeling of his hard dick against your calf is proof enough that heâs still more than distracted.Â
As the conversation carries on, you do your best to interject every now and then to at least pretend to be interested. But youâre more interested in taking Jake home and devouring him. But you suppose the waiting will only make the reward sweeter in the end. Jake, for his part, seems to be feeling the very same. His eyes dart to your face periodically, heavy lidded and carrying the weight of how much he wants you right now. But even with the lust coursing through the both of you, he still looks at you whenever he makes a joke (making sure heâs succeeded in making you laugh) and his fingertips absentmindedly drum songs and beats onto your shin. As worked up as he is, his sweetness still seems to outweigh the alcohol in his system. It just makes you want him more.Â
Bored with waiting and ready for him to say itâs time to go, you delicately trace your fingers across his midsection. You press your fingertips into the soft flesh of his sides as you keep your eyes trained anywhere but him. Jake cocks his head to look at you, his tongue darting out to wet his bottom lip as you shift your leg and rub your calf across him. Half-hard still, his body tenses. His hand finds yours on his belly and he stills it, grip tightening in warning.Â
Not satisfied with his reaction, you press your leg down again and this time his spine goes ramrod straight as his hips buck up on their own to meet the feeling.Â
Thatâs one point for you.Â
âWhy are you trying to start shit?â He murmurs, taking a sip from the glass that heâd just refilled.Â
âBecause I can.âÂ
âBecause youâre desperate.â The last word comes out as an almost growl.Â
You shake your head.Â
âIâm not anything.âÂ
âYou think I canât tell?â He asks you, his head tilted down and gaze trained solely on you. You scan the rest of the group, afraid that theyâll hear whatever filth is about to spill from between his plump lips. Thankfully, theyâre all far too engaged with their own conversation to notice whatâs going on between you and Jake. âYour cheeks are flushed all pink like they get when youâre horny.â He starts, fingers trailing up from your calf to your thigh. âAnd you're breathing fast. Like you do when youâre wet.â His fingers go higher still and your thighs clench despite yourself.Â
He wins the point this time and you canât help the little sigh that escapes you.Â
âMaybe Iâm just tired of waiting.â Itâs all you can think to say â the lust fogging your brain and making it impossible for you to come up with a witty retort. You want him. Now.Â
âYouâre going to have to wait a while longer.âÂ
âWhy?â The question is reminiscent of a young child. Whiny and full of demanding petulance at his refusal to take you home and fuck you this instant.Â
âBecause someone,â he shifts his hips slightly, âmade me rock fucking hard. And I canât get up like this right now. Not with all themâ his eyes dart to the group, âsitting right there.âÂ
You huff a breath.Â
âPlease.âÂ
He hums and places his glass on the table next to you. His own control is cracking under the weight of your heavy gaze (and calf that's teasing his dick relentlessly) and you realize with glee that you've gotten what you wanted.Â
âGentlemen,â he starts, clapping his hands down on your legs and interrupting one of Joshâs long-winded stories. âI think weâre going to call it a night. The missus is getting tired.â He grins at you and you flush even more.Â
âLeaving without helping clean up?â Josh demands, extracting himself from his partnerâs grip and rising to his feet.
âOh, always.â Jake answers him, words still slightly slurred. âBut youâve got these fine young gentlemen here to help you.â He gestures to Sam and Danny who both groan but stand up with Josh anyway.Â
As they begin busying themselves with picking up glasses and paper plates, you raise your legs from Jakeâs lap and stand. He follows you â though he teeters dangerously once heâs on his feet.Â
âEasy.â You warn, wrapping an arm around his waist and helping him balance.Â
âIâm fine.â He laughs, but his steps remind you of a baby deer trying to walk.Â
As the two of you make your way outside, you both hiss as the cold of the night hits you. You press yourself further into Jakeâs side. As you reach the car â parked all the way by the road, you make to open the passenger door for Jake but he pulls you into a kiss first.Â
His tongue plunges into your mouth and he groans as you grant him easy access. Despite the cold, your body thrums with the heat of your arousal. Jakeâs hands are sloppy as they caress every inch of you he can get â your sides, your tits, your ass, everything. As you reach up to tangle your hands in his hair he leans his full body weight against you, pressing you into the side of the car and caging you there. You can't quite tell if it's just so he can keep you where he wants you or because he can't stand upright any longer. Either way, wetness floods your panties at the feeling of his body pressing into you. Solid is the only word you can think of to describe him.Â
âJake.â You moan as his lips trail down to your neck, the heat of his mouth a delicious juxtaposition to the frigid wind. Heâs relentless, drunkenly nipping and biting at your skin in all the ways he knows you like. âJake, quit.â You tell him, even though itâs the last thing you want him to do.Â
âWhy?â The question is muffled by your skin, his lips never leaving your throat.Â
âGet in the car. Itâs cold as fuck.âÂ
He pouts but he straightens up and removes himself from you and you ignore the ache in your belly at the loss of contact. Jakeâs fingers wrap themselves around the handle of the door but not of the passenger seat. Instead, he opens the door to the back and raises an eyebrow at you.Â
âJake.âÂ
âY/n.â His tone matches yours mockingly, his eyes glittering.Â
âItâs freezing.âÂ
âSo letâs warm up then.âÂ
You try to fight it. You know you should. Youâre out here where any one of the neighbors could look outside to see whatâs happening if they look hard enough. If Josh looks outside and sees your car still here thereâs no doubt that heâll know whatâs happening. Sam and Daniel are spending the night and are probably drunk enough that theyâre already passed out but who knows if one of them might happen to look out a window.Â
But the ache between your legs has grown nearly unbearable and you donât want to wait any more than Jake does. And as you watch him clumsily climb into the back seat and lean himself back against the opposite door you know that any shred of resistance you had is gone.Â
âYouâre drunk.â You scold, unwilling to admit defeat even as you climb into the car with him and shut the door behind you. Itâs freezing in the car and your teeth chatter slightly as you settle in.Â
âQuit fussing.â He tells you, spreading his legs and pulling you in to settle between his thighs. âDonât wanna have to wait.â
At that â at the pleading, whiny way he says the words, you cave and crash your lips back to his. His hands find your sides again, squeezing possessively. Your own hands find his shoulders as you attack his mouth with yours. The kiss has no real finesse, all teeth and tongue, but itâs perfect. Jake is moaning beneath you with every pass of your tongue and you realize with no small amount of excitement that the alcohol in his system has taken away any ability he had to hold all those noises in. Heâs always vocal. But this? This is like Heaven to your ears.Â
His hand drops to the waistband of your pants and his fingers dance along the skin there before slipping beneath. His fingers are cold as they graze over your clit through the fabric of your panties. His middle finger presses in, applying just the right amount of pressure as he begins to rub in little circles. You moan loudly into the kiss and his answering groan tells you all that you need to know about how into this he is.Â
âYouâre soaked.âÂ
You nod, head falling back and mouth dropping open as he pushes your panties aside and circles your swollen clit even faster.Â
âTake these off.âÂ
You obey, sitting backwards and toeing your shoes off before sliding your pants off your legs. Itâs cramped and clunky in the confined area of the car but Jake watches you like itâs still the sexiest thing heâs ever seen. Your shirt is next, discarded carelessly into the floorboard as you paw at his own shirt, desperate to see more of him. Jake lifts his arms and pulls his short off, the fabric joining your clothes as well.Â
No matter how many times you see him like this, you still canât help but be amazed. Heâs glorious before you, all milky skin and soft curves that make you want to bite him. His arms flex as he pushes his jeans down, the strength of his biceps and forearms the perfect balance to the rest of him. Without pausing long enough to think about it, you drop low and sink your teeth into the supple flesh of his side.Â
He cries out in answer, arching his back and head falling back with a thud against the window.Â
âY/n. Fuck.â He whines and you take his moment of surprise to palm him through his boxers. He hadnât been lying earlier when he said he was hard as a rock. Even through the fabric you can feel the heavy heat of him.Â
You trail your mouth down to the waistband, licking along the skin there before grabbing it with your teeth and pulling them down, allowing his cock to spring free. You sink lower still, intent on enveloping him in the warmth of your mouth but he stops you with a hand in your hair.Â
âWait.â He sighs out breathlessly, causing your eyes to flick to his questioningly. âNot gonna last if you do that.â He grins sheepishly and you laugh.Â
âWhoâs desperate now?ââ You ask him, echoing back to his taunt from earlier.Â
âItâs your fault.âÂ
With that, he sits up and surges forward, slamming his lips to yours again and pushing you backwards. He settles on top of you, his cock resting against your ass cheek. The movement had taken much effort, his drunken limbs just a little too clumsy for finesse and grace and you both laugh a little as you settle. Finally, he pulls your panties all the way down and you whine as the cool air hits your wet center.Â
âJesus.â He murmurs, those dark eyes of his devouring the sight of you beneath him. âBeen waiting for this all night.âÂ
He sits upwards, gripping his cock in his fist as you spread your legs for him. The car is small, your back shoved into the corner and your head cocked at an odd angle. But none of it matters as he finally slides himself into you. You cry out, hands reaching out to grip his shoulders. His groan is deep and rough as he bottoms out and pauses, allowing you a moment to adjust to the familiar stretch of him.Â
âMove.â You beg him, hooking your legs around his hips and using your heels to dig into his ass and pull him closer.Â
He plants both hands on either side of you, fingers digging into the leather of the seats as he starts to rock his hips. His brows tip upwards and his eyes fall closed as you clench around him helplessly.Â
âSo fucking tight.â He slurs, hips snapping into yours deliciously. The air between the two of you is thick â humid and warm enough that the windows have begun to fog up completely.Â
âHarder.â You whine and his body trembles and shakes as he tries to follow your command.Â
His mouth drops open and a loud moan escapes him as he picks up his pace slightly. His arms tremble where they fight to keep himself up in this position and you giggle softly at him.Â
âSwitch with me before you fall over.â You urge him before tossing your head back with a moan as his cock brushes against that special spot inside of you. Even drunk off his ass he can still find it with ease.Â
âFine.â He huffs, pulling out of you and settling back into his earlier position with his back against the door. âSorry.â He mumbles, giving you a drunken little grin.Â
âSâokay.â You tell him, climbing over his thighs to straddle him. âCan watch you better this way anyway.âÂ
He preens a little at that, cheeks flushing a dark red as you grip is cock in your hand and guide the head to your entrance. You sink down and whine as this position allows him to slip even deeper into you than it had before.
You roll your hips and moans punch out of both of you. He always feels so fucking good â but having to wait so long for it tonight has only made it even more rewarding now. His hands grip your ass, kneading into the flesh and guiding your pace. His eyes are half lidden as he watches you and sweat begins to bead at his hairline. The look heâs giving you â hair a mess and mouth dropped open, is a familiar one. Itâs one youâve seen on his face countless times; both as heâs fucked you and as he plays his guitar on stage. Itâs enough to have the coil in your belly begin to tighten already.Â
âSo fuckân beautiful.â He moans lowly, his eyes pinned to where your tits bounce with each roll of your hips.Â
You whine and lean downwards, kissing him roughly as his hips begin to thrust upwards to meet yours. You can tell that heâs losing it beneath you â his focus torn between trying to kiss you and trying to match the rhythm youâve set. Heâs pussy drunk and actually drunk and the thin bit of control he has left is starting to break.Â
He uses his grip on your ass to guide you upwards, pressing your breasts into his face. His lips lock around one hard nipple as one hand comes up to palm the other one. He moans louder still, the sound muffled against your tit. The feel of him⊠heâs everywhere in this cramped car and all of your senses have been completely overtaken with just Jake.Â
âPlease.â He whines, detaching his mouth from your nipple with a wet pop. âWanna feel you cum on my cock.âÂ
His teeth dig into his bottom lip, his face contorting in pleasured agony as he holds himself back, waiting for you to finish first. You toss your head back and cry out, his cock hitting your sweet spot as you ride him into oblivion. The noises falling from him are barely human â rough and broken in a way that lets you know that he's completely overtaken with the pleasure of it all. Your orgasm finally hits you, seeming to start at your toes and work its way all the way through you. Your body shakes as you ride it out, walls fluttering and clenching around his cock. Your moans are only interrupted by cries of his name as he fucks you through it before finally your brain manages to come back to reality to take in the sight below you.Â
Jake â drunk and fucked out with his eyes pleading up at you.Â
âGonna fucking cum, Y/n.â He thrusts up once, twice, three more times before heâs losing it. His head thrashes and curses fall from his lips like prayers. It goes on forever, his body tensed up and legs shaking on either side of you as he spills his release into you.
Finally, his body relaxes and stills. And his beautiful eyes blink open to look at you. A dopey and satiated smile spreads across his lips. You can feel his cock where itâs still inside you softening, but neither of you really want to move yet.Â
âYouâre so pretty.â He says with an alcohol-drenched smile.Â
âAnd youâre still very drunk.â You giggle, kissing him softly.Â
âI donât have to be drunk to be able to see that youâre pretty.â He answers with a slight pout. Even inebriated heâs not going to let you run from a compliment. His ability to still recognize those little insecurities that you still have, no matter how much heâs had to drink, makes you smile softly down at him.Â
âYouâre pretty too.âÂ
He flushes and opens his mouth to retort but itâs cut off with a hiss as you pull off him. You reach down to grab your phone where itâs been discarded on the floorboard with yours and his clothes and the screen lights up enough to make you squint your eyes.
Two notifications await you.Â
Josh 4:27AM
you guys okay?Â
Josh 4:34AM
in my driveway?? :(Â
You canât help but laugh at the message before clicking your phone off. The windows have completely fogged up now so there's no denying your guilt to Josh.
As you turn back to face Jake, his eyes have closed and he looks almost asleep.Â
âHey.â You smack his chest and he startles, making you laugh even harder. âGet dressed so we can go home.âÂ
He groans and sits up, eyes looking glassy but still wearing a satisfied smirk.
âRound two once we get home?â
âIf you can stay awake that long.â
âChallenge accepted.âÂ

peter johnson and the flying wine bottles â percy jackson x reader
PAIRING; Percy Jackson x Neighbor! Reader
REQUEST; N/A
GODLY PARENT: Demeter
DATE; May 1st, 2024
WORD COUNT; 2440
WARNING; Illegal activities, aka buying alcohol illegally
A/N: IM BACK MOTHERFUCKERS. tehehe I know its been years oops. Not my best work but its here and thats all that matters to me at this point.
TRAILER; In which Percy Jackson meets his neighbor by accidentally almost killing himself and her multiple times.
REQUESTED BY: N/A
--
Percy locks up his flat, double then triple checks everything is secure. He knows itâs a little over the top to be this careful with his security system, especially since his apartment complex is in the heart of New Rome. But after everything he has been through it gives him a little peace of mind knowing he is coming back to a hopefully monster-free apartment.
Things have been weird for Percy since Annabeth left. He hasnât exactly hit the devastated stage that everyone, including him thought would be his reaction. Instead, itâs been like he has been going through the motions. Nothing has been that bad or great, just kind of there.
Piper has concluded that he is in shock. He suspects that sheâs right. Itâs almost like heâs waiting for the other shoe to drop. Like Annabethâs on a quest and he hasnât heard from her for a few weeks and heâs a bit concerned for her well-being. But itâs been a little over two months now and Percy hasnât felt any different.
 The only difference that Percy has felt is annoyance towards Piper. She wonât stop badgering him about meeting this girl. Itâs constant, nonstop talking about how they would be perfect for each other and how Percy just needs to get back out there.
The only thing Percy needs is a break. A break from all the sympathetic stares, the hopeful girls, and gods forbid Piper. He knows that she has his best interest at heart. He appreciates it, he really does. It makes him feel all warm and fuzzy inside whenever his friends want to do something nice for him, but this just isnât what Percy needs or wants right now.
What Percy needs is some time with his friends and maybe some free food which is exactly why he is heading over to Leoâs for a BBQ with the gang.
Stuffing his keys into his pocket, he heads over to the elevator then promptly almost dies tripping over air. Itâs then that Percy realizes that he actually hadnât fallen over air, he tripped over what looked like either a really long root or a vine? What the Hades? How did that get there?
He goes to pick it up when he realizes thereâs a girl standing there waiting for the elevator. Sheâs holding a wine bottle, and what looks like the biggest plant Percy has ever seen. It would explain where the weird vine-root thing came from.
âHey,â he starts, only to be interrupted by a scream and a face full of soil.
âOh my God!â Screeches the plant. It takes Percy a second to realize that it is in fact the girl screaming and not the plant. To be fair, Percy has seen too many outer-worldly oddities in his life, he wouldnât be surprised if it was the plant talking. âI am so sorry!â
Percy laughs and rubs dirt off his face, âDonât be. I shouldnât have scared you.â When he finally gets all the dirt off, Percy realizes she put the plant down. Sheâs pretty. Like really pretty actually. It takes Percyâs brain a second to catch up to all this new information.
She waves his apology away, âI scare way too easily. You should see me during October.â
âHalloween can get pretty spooky around here.â She tilts her head to the side in a way that remind him of a cute puppy. âCause all the ghosts, ya know?â
Her eyes widen, âThere are ghosts here?â
âYeah, you havenât seen them?â She shakes her head, âThereâs one named Vector. Heâs my favorite.â
âWhy am I even surprised? My Mom is a Greek god. Of course there would be ghosts! Whatâs next? Flying monkeys?â
Percyâs lips quirked, âDonât give them that idea.â
She laughed and Percyâs chest tightened. âWhatâs your name?â
âPercy. Yours?â
âY/N.â
âNice to meet you, Y/N. I donât think Iâve ever seen you before. Did you move in recently?â Percy knows he would have noticed or remembered her.
She puts her finger next to her lips. Percy is momentarily entranced. âI think around a month ago. I just started at New Rome University.â As she was chattering on about college Percy noticed the wine bottle slowly starting to slip out of her grip. Thanks to his demigod reflexes, Percy caught the bottle just in time.
âOh!â She said in surprise. âThanks! I didnât even know it was falling.â
âNo worries. I got it.â The elevator dings and they both head in. College? They were about a quarter into the fall semester. âWhat are you studying?â
âAgriculture.â
Percyâs eyebrows rise. That was not what he was expecting. âCool, my best friend from home is really into plants and stuff.â
Y/Nâs lips quirked, âPlants and stuff?â
Percy smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck. Thankfully, he was saved from answering by the elevator. Even though he was glad he didnât have to answer to his stupidity, Percy still felt a pang in his chest. He really didnât want to part from her but didnât know how to tell her that without sounding creepy. She gives him good vibes. Percyâs always loved people like that.
âWhere are you headed off too?â He eventually asks after sneaking what he hopes is casual glances at her as they exit the building.
She bounces on her toes a bit, âThis girl I just met invited me to their friendâs place. Iâm a bit nervous to be honest. I donât know anyone besides her.â
âIâm sure youâll be fine. Iâve loved talking to you and weâve only just met.â Percyâs face went beet red. That was not how it was supposed to come out. âI-I mean youâve been fun to talk to.â
They both laugh for a second, falling quiet quickly enough to make Percy feel awkward. He wishes he had more to say, if only to keep Y/N around him a little longer.
Y/N beams, âThanks, Percy. Iâm glad that I finally met someone in this apartment complex. Everyone here seems like busy bodies and never wants to talk.â
Percy shrugs. Heâs noticed that too but never felt too bothered by it. Though, he isnât the one who moved away from friends. âYou get used to it. Hereâs your wine bottle.â He hands her the wine bottle and Percy swears he gets dĂ©jĂ vu from a few minutes ago. Just as the wine bottle leaves his fingertips its soaring to the floor and crashes all over both of them. Fortunately, Percy isnât hurt but heâs more concerned about Y/N to care.
âAre you alright?â
âYeah,â Y/N puffs out she looks more shocked than anything. Percy feels like a giant idiot. First, he scares her, and Y/Nâs plant almost goes flying everywhere. Then, he distracts her enough to almost drop the bottle. Now, after all of that mess he literally just fucks it all up. What are the odds?
It seems Y/N read his mind because she starts to giggle, âI think the Gods just donât want me to bring wine today.â
As soon as they clean up the mess they head out. Percy had almost cut himself on the glass once or twice but he couldnât complain much. He had been through worse things than a cut. Both of them had mumbled to each other the entire time about Why the Gods had decided the third time was the charm but decided against mentioning anything else as Y/N still had her plant to carry the rest of the way.
Percy only wishes that Mr. D was here to witness this. He could practically hear the âPeter Johnson!â from New Rome.
âWhere are you headed too?â Y/N questions as they both come to a complete stop outside the building.
âTo buy you a new wine bottle.â Percy says gesturing with his head towards town. He knows heâll be late to Leoâs thing, but he canât really bring himself to care. Percy also knows that Leo, out of all people, will be understanding especially if he mentions a girl.
âWhat?â Y/N says and grabs his arm, effectively stopping him. âNo way. I am not allowing you to buy me a new wine bottle. I was the one who dropped it.â
Percy will admit that it was mostly her fault. It had been in her hands when the accident occurred. But Percy was first and foremost Sally Jacksonâs son and if Sally taught him anything it was how to be polite to a pretty girl. âI was the one handing it to you.â
Y/N crosses her arms and shakes her head stubbornly. âNo way, Percy! I am not allowing you to buy me one. Iâll buy my own and be on my way.â
âFine but at least let me walk you to the wine store.â Y/N seems to consider this as her eyebrows scrunch a little less but she still doesnât uncross her arms. She seems to agree nonverbally since she starts to walk with him.
âSo, Do you know Mr.D?â
âWho?â
âMr.D,â Percy confirms, âDionysus? Camp Half-Bloodâs camp director?â
âOh,â Y/N murmurs, âIâve heard of him from my friend, but Iâve never been to Camp Half-Blood.â
âDid you go to Camp Jupiter then?â
She shakes her head. Percy is officially confused. Where did she grow up then? How did she stay away from monsters? âIâm lost. Were you at home then?â
âFor some reason, I never really got into trouble with monsters. Sure, weird stuff would happen to me throughout the years but my teachers would just put it off as overactive imagination. It wasnât until my high school graduation that a monster came after me and my Dad finally brought me here. Next thing I know Iâm enrolled at New Rome with my own apartment. What about you?â She questions innocently.
Percy huffs out a laugh. Oh, where to start. He settles on a simple, âI grew up at Camp Half-Blood.â
Y/N nods mutely. It gets a little awkward for a second and Percy wishes he paid a little more attention to his Momâs rom-com movies. Heâs never met a girl like this before. The only other girl he had ever been interested in was Annabeth and they had been friends forever before they even started dating. He was treading new waters.
Fortunately, they turned the corner and the wine store was a few steps away. âThere it is,â Percy said and pointed. He was starting to feel nervous and he didnât know why. Y/N went to open the door, but Percy beat her to it.
She turns around with a teasing smile on her face, âThanks, Percy. So, want to tell me if your legal or not?â
It takes Percy a second to realize what she is talking about. Oh, buying alcohol. âYeah, Iâm 21. How old are you?â
â19.â
Oh. Oh. Percy shrugs, heâs certainly not one to shy away from illegal adventures. (A/N: DO NOT DRINK ILLEGALLY KIDDOS. NOT COOL AT ALL.) That would just be hypocritical.
Y/N heads over to the wine section and Percy follows after her like a lame, lost puppy. He needs to start acting a little cooler.
âWhite or red?â Percy asks.
âChampagne.â She answers immediately, with no hesitation. Alright, champagne it is. Thatâs a little too fancy for Percyâs taste. Heâs more of a red Josh man but to each their own. He likes his six-dollar wine, thank you very much. Judgement is not tolerated within this household.
âPerfectâ she says and grabs the champagne before making a beeline to the counter. Percy races after her digging for his wallet. He was not about to let her pay. He finally fishes it out of his pocket and waits for the man to check her out.
While Percy is waiting, he canât help but admire her. She chatters away to the man as he looks over what Percy is assuming her fake ID. Making small talk in a way Percy never could.
The man gives it back to her and rings her up, â19 dollars and 75 cents, maâam.â
Percy is quick to give his card to the dude. The cash register guy sighs and Y/N looks appalled. âNo way. I am paying for it, Percy!â
He gently nudges her out of the away and hands the card over to him. He rolls his eyes, âI donât care which one of you is going to sugar-mama the other. But whoever pays I have to see some ID.â
Percy digs in his pocket for his identification and hands it over. The manâs eyes widen, he looks at the picture then back to Percy. âYouâre Percy Jack-â
âYup,â Percy interrupts. He isnât self-centered enough to think that Y/N has heard of him before but just in case, Percy wants to keep that information to himself for now.
The manâs demeanor instantly changes now that he knows who he is cashing out. âHave a good rest of your day!â He yells cheerily after him. When they head out, Percy can hear him whisper-yelling to his coworker about who he just checked out.
Y/N looks a little alarmed at the situation, especially probably the way Percy rushed her out. âWhat was that about?â
âNothingâ Percy waves her away. âThat guy was justâ He hesitates, âWeird.â
She makes a face, âYeah, he really was. I canât believe we did it though! I have never used my fake before.â
Percy takes a step back, âWhat? How did you get the wine from earlier then?â
âOh, my Dad bought that for me.â Percy scoffs, Sally would be disappointed to find out that he was anywhere near alcohol. The thought fills him with a little guilt. She smiles and Percyâs chest hurts a little. This is where they say goodbye he realizes. âWell, it was really nice to meet you, Percy. Iâm glad the Gods made our paths cross.â
He grins, âMe too, Y/N. Iâll see you around.â
âBye, Percy.â
As Percy heads over to Leoâs place, he realizes how fast his heart is pounding and he canât stop smiling. Somehow, he knows itâs not from their illegal adventure.

His Little Dove | Chapter 1
The Plan
Warnings: cursing, slight age difference, innuendos, height difference, ummm calling people names, angst, i think i switched from second to third POV at a certain point so..bad/subpar writing is a warning lol, 18+ only, MDNI
Pairing: Lee Russell x Reader (AFAB)
Word Count: 2,123
A/N: it's finnniisshheeddd!! ugh i actually am so insanely proud of this chapter!! thank you so much to everyone who has been waiting to read this!! i'm genuinely so honored and am starting chapter two as we speak!! the comments and stuff really motivate me so much đ„č
 Following behind Lee and Neal, Y/N listened in on their conversation, a bit confused as to why youâd been invited.Â
âOh, Jesus Christ, the bloodbath begins,â Lee said around a mouth full of smoke, âSheâs got me off my rocker, Gamby. We gotta act quick,â Lee adjusted his hold on his cigarette, âNow, sheâs tied up in teacher reviews for the next 72 minutes. That gives us some time.âÂ
Y/N arched a brow. âTime to do what, Lee?â You questioned him, âWho exactly are we sabotaging?â Y/N knew the name of Leeâs game by now.Â
âOh, great, Russell, why did you invite her?! Sheâs not even familiar with the parameters of our plan!â Neal exclaimed, yanking his toothpick out from between his teeth, pausing in the middle of the school parking lot.Â
âOh, for Christâs sake, Gamby!â Lee whined, âTreat Y/N with a little respect! Ohhh, Y/N, darlinâ, Iâm so sorry for this fat fuckinâ losers disrespect, please just ignore him, okay, pretty bird?â Lee gave you a sickeningly sweet smile before turning back to Neal with a disgruntled look, âLoosen the fuck up or I will do this shit on my own motherfucker. Now, letâs go dig up some dirt on that grimy bitch.âÂ
Neal scoffed but followed after Lee begrudgingly, Y/N speeding up her steps to keep up.Â
You had no idea WHO you were sabotaging but you werenât one to say no to Lee. You never said no to Lee Russell. And you absolutely never fucking would.Â
-----------
The three of them rolled up on a house that Y/N knew all too well. Leeâs house. This did little to lessen your confusion but you trusted Lee.Â
âIs this where she lives? What a shit-hole.â Neal chuckled.Â
Y/N snorted as Lee ripped off his sunglasses.Â
âThis is my house, motherfucker! Itâs a mid-century sea ranch!â Lee yelled, huffing a sigh before continuing, âNow, stay here, I gotta go get somethinâ.â Lee got out of the car and strutted towards his front door.Â
âYou should go easier on him, Neal. Really.â Y/N said, crossing her arms, leaning back into her seat.Â
âOh shut up, Y/N! God! Stop being so pretentious.â Neal groaned, rolling his eyes behind his sunglasses.Â
Y/N looked over as Lee was followed out of the house by his screaming mother-in-law, Mi Cha, looking stressed to the heavens.Â
âShut up! Shut up! All I hear is gibberish from you, shut up! Go back in the house!â Lee yelled before turning to walk towards the car, âLike nails on a fuckinâ chalkboard.â He groaned, stopping when he got to the car, closing his eyes in frustration as the woman kept screaming, âGO BACK IN THE HOUSE!!!â He yelled louder this time, pointing angrily at the open door.Â
âFUCK YOU!â Mi Cha yelled, finally walking back inside.Â
Lee grunted as he got back inside the car, a noise that made the butterflies in the pit of your stomach stir, shoving a bag into the back of the car into your lap.Â
âY/N, would you be a dear and hold this?â Lee smiled at Y/N, always being so sweet with her, even if he was out of breath. His smile dropped, however, the minute he turned towards Neal. âGo.â Lee demanded.
âEverything okay?â Neal questioned.Â
âJust go.â Lee sighed, leaning heavily into the passenger seat.Â
Y/Nâs heart hurt for Lee. He was always under so much stress. Ever since his mother-in-law moved in, he had not been doing so well. Heâd been a bitâŠwilder than usual. Always wanting to get into something scandalous or cause some sort of raucous to relieve his stress. Was it always the best solution? No. No it wasnât. But, Y/N wasnât going to deny Lee any sort of stress reliefâŠeven if it did mean theyâd have to cover for him.Â
-----------
Neal cleared his throat as the three of them continued their journey to wherever it was that they were going.Â
âSo, uh, was that woman your wife?â Neal asked, looking over at Lee nervously.Â
Y/N couldnât help but giggle slightly.Â
Lee looked at him completely disgusted. âDonât be asking me personal questions. We ainât fuckinâ friends, okay? This is business.â Lee scoffed.Â
âLeeee..â Y/N said quietly, leaning up slightly to rest their hand on Leeâs shoulder, âBreathe.â Y/N massaged his shoulder, trying to help him relax.Â
Lee relaxed a little into Y/Nâs touch, taking a deep breath. Y/N was really the only one to have this sort of effect on Lee. She could calm him in almost any and all situations unless he was really, really stressed.Â
âFriends?â Neal laughed, âI am not trying to be your friend.âÂ
âOver here tryinâ to make a fuckinâ friend and we about to do a mission.â Lee scoffed, leaning back into Y/Nâs touch even further.Â
Neal looked between the two of them with a raised brow, âYouâre the one trying to make friends the most.â Neal challenged.Â
Lee sighed, slipping his sunglasses back onto his nose. âJust shut up, Gamby, god!âÂ
Y/N shook her head at the two of them, pulling her hand off of Lee to sit back once more.Â
-----------
The group of them rolled to a stop in a very well-off looking neighborhood.Â
âWho are we here for, Lee?â Y/N questioned, peering out the window of the car.Â
âDr. Brownâs deep, dark secrets.â Lee smiled mischievously, chewing on his bottom lip.Â
âBelinda?! LeeâŠhoney, I need you to bring yourself back to earth for a moment. You know I support you in all that you do but this is a suicide mission, sweetheart.â Y/N told him sweetly, sighing a little. She knew this man was up to something scandalous.Â
âDonât start, Y/N. God, you both just really wanna piss on my parade, donât you? Maybe you two should be fuckinâ butt buddies and Iâll do the work that fuckinâ matters.â Lee grumbled, getting out of the car.Â
Y/N sighed, following after him while Neal awkwardly stayed in the car.Â
âLee, sweetheart, you know itâs not like that at all!â Y/N said, walking over to place a hand on his back, âDonât get all grumpy with me like that, it hurts my feelings, doll.â Y/N frowned up at him.Â
Lee scanned Y/Nâs face with his famous sad puppy dog eyes before letting out a frustrated sigh. âAlright fine, fuck!â He exclaimed, looking down at his feet, âIâm sorry, okay? There I said it. Now, come help me take this dirty bitch to hell?â Lee looked at Y/N with a cute smile, batting his lashes at her.Â
Y/N closed her eyes. âIâm gonna regret this..but fine. Iâd do anything for you.â Y/N muttered, shaking her head.Â
âAre you two weirdos finished? Weâre running out of fucking time!â Neal grumbled as he stomped over to them.Â
Lee rolled his eyes, grabbing Y/Nâs hand to drag her towards Dr. Brownâs house. âShut up, Gamby!âÂ
The three of them shortly arrived at Belindaâs house where Neal and Lee began digging their way through the womanâs garbage.Â
âUgh,â Y/N gave them a disgusted look, âLee, I love you, but that is fucking repulsive.âÂ
âOh, please, just pretend Iâm digging in your ass, thatâll make the picture a whole lot prettier.â Lee winked at Y/N with a smirk.
Y/Nâs breath caught in her throat, heat rapidly rising to her cheeks. âLee fucking Russell, do not say that shit to me,â Y/N crossed her arms over her chest, feeling sheepish.Â
âDonât pretend like you donât love it when I talk dirty to you, darlinâ.â Leeâs smile grew as he took in her red appearance.Â
âSo..uh..Iâm confused, are you two like..dating..or..?â Neal questioned, watching the pair with an expressionless face.Â
âNO!â Y/N said much too quickly before steadying herself, âNo, weâre just friends. Lee just doesnât know how to shut the fuck up.â She grumbled.Â
Lee placed an offended hand on his chest. âThat no was a little too quick for my liking. What? Am I not good enough for you little miss honors English teacher? Huh? Not good enough for the little straight A, fuckinâ teacher of the goddamn year?!â Lee scoffed, his brows narrowed slightly. He looked genuinely hurt by her rushed response.Â
âYouâre fucking married, Lee!â Y/N yelled at him, eyes wide, âWhy the fuck would I ever agree to someone asking if weâre dating, idiot?!âÂ
âOh, donât you start callinâ me fuckinâ names now, missy!â Lee pointed an accusing finger at her, scrunching his face up the way he does when heâs upset about something.Â
âRight. Okay um, it seems like you two have a lot to work out and I really donât care to hear the rest of this conversation because youâre both fucking stupid and I donât care about either of you.â Neal ranted awkwardly before walking towards Belindaâs steps.
Y/N and Lee rolled their eyes at each other, following after Neal.Â
âOh..thereâs no fucking way weâre breaking in here!â Y/N scolded, giving Lee a disapproving look.Â
Lee shrugged, shooing Neal towards the door.Â
Neal popped off his tie, wrapped it around his hand, and busted open one of the windows on the back door before sticking his hand through to pop the lock.Â
âJesus Christ,â Y/N muttered, shaking her head. She pinched the bridge of her nose with a sigh, âwhat are yâall getting me into?âÂ
âOh shush.â Lee scolded, waltzing into Belindaâs house behind Neal.Â
Y/N followed close behind. âLee, we should not be doing this. Youâre smarter than this.âÂ
Lee stopped and turned around to give her a cold gaze. âAm I, Y/N? Hm?â He challenged, walking towards her dangerously slow, âYou donât really know me all that well, do you?â He smirked, standing so close to her she could feel his breath fanning her face.Â
Y/N gulped, trembling slightly as she peered up at him. âStop it,â She said quietly, looking away from him, âYou always fucking tease me and itâs not fucking fair, Lee, jesus.â She snapped, immediately turning and walking back out the door.Â
Lee chased after her, grabbing her by her elbow. âHey now. What's the matter with you?! Where the fuck are you going?âÂ
âBack to my fucking job, Lee. I am not doing this. Belinda hasnât done shit to me. LookâŠI love you, Lee, I really do. Youâre my best friend but this job is my fucking life. But you wouldnât get that, would you? Because youâve got fucking everything. Youâre married, youâve got a beautiful home, a nice car.â Y/N took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. She was overwhelmed with her feelings. His teasing usually never bothered her but today...today was different for some reason. She just couldn't go through with this any longer. âI understand why youâre doing this..and I want to help you, Lee, believe me, I do. But I canât lose this job.â Y/N finally looked up at him, almost taken aback by the sincere look on his face.Â
âGo,â He said, softly, âIâll meet you back at the school..okay? For lunch. Like always.â Lee held out his pinky. It was their tradition to link pinkies when making plans as a promise to not let each other down.Â
Y/N nodded, curling her smaller pinky around his larger one. âLike always.â She pulled her hand away, starting her journey back to the school on foot. It wasnât far, she wouldnât have any trouble getting there but leaving Lee behind like that when he had been counting on her to help him really broke her heart. But she couldnât lose this job. It was all she had that kept her connected to Lee and sheâd be the first to go if anyone found out about this scheme. She couldnât risk it - couldnât risk her livelihood and her job. Lee was everything to her. Everything. Lee was and always will be her livelihood.Â
-----------
Back at Belindaâs, Lee walked back into the house with a determined look on his face, now upset that his one and only friend bailed on him.Â
âYouâre a fucking idiot, you know that?â Neal said while scanning the wall of Belindaâs photos.
âWhat the fuck did you just say to me, Gamby?â Lee said pissily, narrowing his brows at him.Â
âThat girl loves you..and youâre just blind to it..Iâm not good with women but you shouldnât use her the way you do.â Neal shrugged.Â
âShut the fuck up, you ass face, you have no fucking idea what youâre even talkinâ about.â Lee scoffed, stomping off up the stairs of Belindaâs house.Â
That couldnât be right, could it? Could you really love him in that way?Â
âNo,â Lee thought, shaking his head, âThereâs no wayâŠright?âÂ
Right?Â

[Ghost, Soap and Price when you ask them "would you get my name tattooed on you?"] headcanons
A/N: This is for fun, no one requested it but I love tattoos and I got some soooooo here we go!
A/N 2: this was started back in December lmfao whoops, anyways this is just some random thoughts .
Ghost:
Ghost is gonna either A) look at you like you're stupid as fuck or B) call you stupid as fuck for even asking if you two are not close.
However, you are close so he humors you, despite not saying a for sure yes or no.
"And why would I do that?"
"Because you love me~"
"You think I love you?" Dude is making heart eyes at you as y'all speak, he's full of shit.
You pester him and poke at his chest, telling him you want your name here or there and he just rolls his eyes when he lays on his back.
He makes grunts and snarky remarks like he'd cut the skin off and belly laughs when you pout and can't help but flick your forehead and say it wouldn't happen.
A liar, he's gonna get a tattoo to symbolize you, just not your name. In y'alls line of work it's too dangerous, he's a known soldier and he has a target on his back. Whatever hyperfixation you have, whatever special interest, is something he'd get inked on him, probably on the inside of his arm to keep it hidden.
He runs his fingers across it before and after a mission, even if you're there with him. It's a habit that he'll probably never break. (I'm imagining him with Optimus tattoo for me I'm crying)
Soap:
He's been waiting. He is absolutely saying yes. He's been thinking about it for awhile and has been designing in his little journal what fonts he would get.
You cannot tell me that this man wouldn't get his loved ones name on him bc he absolutely WOULD.
He doesn't care if it's bad luck to get your partners name on you, as far as he's concerned he's yours for as long as you'll have him and you both work together, been through hell together. He's sure of it if you are okay with it.
He's the guy to get your name over his heart đ probably also with some flowers/symbols that represent you around it as well.
He presents it to you all giddy and laughs loud when you throw your arms around his neck hugging him.
"You like it? Now you're stuck with me 'orever~" while he gives you kisses all over your face.
Soap proudly flaunts when he's shirtless, his dog tags and your name on his chest make him so egotistical (it's warranted he's so fucking hot)
Would be very happy if you were to get his name but would never pressure you, however if you were, he'd need to design it for you <3
Price:
Price is on the fence, he's not a tattoo man and never has been. But he loves you, more than he's ever loved anyone so it's a firm maybe.
It'll have to be a couple of years before he genuinely will sit down and consider it.
Wouldn't get your name but instead your initial, probably on the inside of his finger or on some easily hidden slice of skin.
You don't even fucking see it until months pass and he's changing.
"Oh that? Got it back on downtime between missions." Motherfucker.
He grumbles as you steal whatever limb it's on but he's happy you're so so ecstatic and he thinks the glowing smile you send him makes it worth it.

The Lies We Tell
***FANFIC THAT INVOLVES REAL PEOPLE. 18+ ONLY. MDNI. DO NOT READ IF YOU DONâT LIKE FANFIC THAT INVOLVES REAL PEOPLE***
Summary that tells you nothing: Sometimes everything you ever wanted has been right there, within reach, all along.
CW/TW: Angst, fluff, swearing, friends to lovers, jealousy, smut, fingering, PinV, pet names, friends with benefits, more to come as I actually get things written out.
Just Friends
It's funny how life works sometimes. Someone can tell you they love you in one breath and in the very next shatter your entire reality. One wrong move while driving down the road can alter yours and another person's life forever. A brief conversation with a stranger over a drink and exchanged phone numbers can bring people into your life that you now can't imagine life without them. The latter was exactly how Quinn now found herself in this house, surrounded by the best friends she could have ever hoped for, their banter in the living room bringing a smile to her lips as she dumped snacks into bowls.
The boys had all gotten home from tour a couple days ago, and as always, they had to have a movie night. It sort of became tradition even before Noah had invited her to move in with them. After every tour there was a big family dinner, followed by a movie night where none of them actually paid attention to the movies they chose, too caught up in catching up on everything that happened while they were gone.
"Quinn! Hurry your ass up! I'm starving here!" Folio hollered from the living room.
"Untwist your panties! You're welcome to come help, ya know!" She hollered back.
Truthfully, she should have had someone come help her. The downside to living in this particular house full of guys was that they all were much taller than her. Well, all of them that actually lived there. Which meant everything was up high and she had to climb to reach most things. Meaning it took her longer to get even just snacks together.
"Fucking tall ass motherfuckers," she grumbled, climbing up on the counter to reach some more bowls. She probably should have actually counted how much she needed before starting. Her fault, really. A long tattooed arm wrapped around her waist, hauling her off the counter.
"I swear to God, Quinn. You're going to break your fucking neck one of these days. What do you need?" Noah's voice behind her, somewhat panicked, almost made her giggle.
"Well, if you didn't put shit up so high I wouldn't have to climb to get it! And some more bowls."
Noah shook his head, chuckling. Her best friend and roommate. The person that found her in that bar seven years ago, drinking away the pain of her boyfriend at the time breaking up with her, and somehow took all those broken pieces and put her back together.
When Noah was home they quite literally did everything together. From rock climbing to going to gigs for small local bands. Movie nights up in his room, just the two of them. Shoot, when he was home she barely slept in her own room. Every night, without fail they would fall asleep in his room. It was enough that Jolly had asked them more than once if there was something else going on. And was never satisfied when they told him that they were just friends.
"You could also use the step stool I bought you."
"Step stools are for old people and children. I happen to be neither."
"You're impossible."
"You love me!"
Noah glanced down at her with a smirk as he grabbed some of the filled bowls. Quinn ignored the way her stomach flipped as his dark eyes met hers. Ignored the way her heart began to race. He was her best friend. That she definitely had a crush on. But he could never know that. It would make things weird, and she was happy with the way things were. Truly.
"Come on, my little terror pixie."
Huffing she followed him into the living room. Noah had called her a terror pixie from the night they met. However, the calling her his little terror pixie was something new. And she absolutely hated how warm and fuzzy it made her feel inside. Best friends weren't supposed to feel like that towards the other.
"Fuck off, Bigfoot."
With fake indignation she found her spot on the floor with him, settled right between his legs. Long arms wrapped around her, pulling her back against him, settling loosely around her waist. Quinn didn't miss the look everyone shared, or the way Jolly smirked at them. Like they all knew something she didn't. Or maybe they were, once again, reading too much into the way her and Noah were together.

CHAPTER ONE - TOJI
â â â â â â â â â â â â ⧠summary page
  I usually donât become swoon by seeing attractive women. Working security at a luxury club, I come across them almost every day. At one point in my life, I even slept with them for money because I needed survival after the Zenâin Family disowned me about twenty years ago.
But when I stare in the direction of the bar, Iâm convinced Iâm looking at one of the prettiest women Iâve ever seen in my life.Â
 Sheâs fucking gorgeous. The deepest and richest shade of brown. Thick curls falling to her shoulders. Full thighs that are being constricted by the material of her denim mini skirt.Â
 God, I donât fucking care if I sound like a pervert, but every time I saw her cross and uncross her legs, I hoped to see a sneak of her panties.Â
 I donât care to be in a relationship.Â
 I just had to fuck her. Hard and slow until sheâs screaming my name.Â
 Insta lust isnât really my thing. However, my cock is feeling extremely uncomfortable in my pants right now.Â
 âFushiguro!â Shiu Kongâs voice blares through my ears.Â
 Shit, I forgot I wasnât alone.Â
 He continues, âYou heard anything I said or youâre too busy drooling over that pretty girl at the bar?â He points with his chin, taking a drag of his third cigarette tonight.Â
 That fucker needs to give it a break.Â
 âIâm not fucking drooling, Kong,â I answered. âAnd what did you say?â
  He chuckles. âI asked, are you going to consider that contract I gave you?â
 âNo. You know I donât do that kind of shit anymore. I have a kid.â
 âAnd howâs your relationship with Megumi going?â
 I hate using the term friend , but Shiu Kong would be the closest thing that I would have of that sort. We met back in Tokyo after I left the Zenâin Family.
 Our friendship consists of business, banter, and talking shit to one another. Heâs not a bad guy. Pretty decent and not as annoying as other people. And I guess you can say I kind of owe him since he helped watch Megumi after his mother passed.Â
 Heâs been in the States for a few days now to visit, trying to convince me to take this damn contract. But he knows I left that part of me back in Japan.
 âItâs going,â I finally responded. âHeâs still adjusting to being here.â
 âEnglish working well for him? Youâre helping him I assume.âÂ
 I give him an annoyed look. âTrying to make sure Iâm being a dad?â
 âSomeone has to,â he says, boringly, while putting out his cigarette to like another one. âMaybe you should get a girlfriend. Make her a housewife. Being a single parent to a fifteen-year-old boy isnât the easiest.â
 I let out a mixture of a scoff and chuckle. âAnd how would you fucking know?â
 âConsidering that I helped take care of your boy, I would know.â
 âHm,â I say.Â
 âAnd Iâm frankly tired of having to babysit your old ass, too. Youâre forty-two, Fushiguro. I canât be your lover forever.âÂ
 And here goes the shit talking.Â
 âFunny. I donât remember you having anyone.â
 He smirks. âI have my options.â
 âYeah, whatever.â
 My attention is back to the woman at the bar, and this time sheâs not alone. Some guy occupied the seat next to her, and by the looks of it, sheâs annoyed. Iâm almost positive that heâs hitting on her. I mean, who wouldnât? Her beauty steals the attention of the bar. Still, even I know when to read the fucking room.Â
 If a woman isnât interested, then she isnât interested. You can tell by their body language and how they engage with you.Â
 Her body is telling him to fuck off, and sheâs doesnât look like sheâs engaging either. And despite that, the fucker canât keep his hands to himself.Â
 You would think the other men seeing whatâs happening would be decent enough to fucking defend her but theyâre just sitting around with stupid grins on their faces.Â
 Kong was talking some type of shit before I got up from the table and walked toward the bar.Â
 I had two reasons to go over there.Â
 One, to get that motherfucker away from her, and two, my selfish intent to see how pretty she is up close.Â
 The closer I got to the bar, their conversation became more coherent.Â
 âCome on, sweetheart. Why are you playing hard to get?â
 âYou donât know how to fucking take no for an answer?âÂ
 Her voiceâŠÂ
 Get it together, Fushiguro.Â
 âI do, but this feels like a game of cat and mouse.â Heâs definitely drunk.Â
 âIf-â
 âSheâs not interested,â I interrupted.Â
 The moment I uttered those words, itâs like on cue, her and I locked eyes. Her hues are the color of coffee with a touch of milk. I drink them in. The almond shape. The small creases underneath. The length of her lashes. I donât think I could ever get tired of looking at them.Â
 Then, her face. It has this type of softness yet definition. Those full lips that are brown and pink, even prettier up close.Â
 No. Sheâs more than pretty.Â
 Sheâs beautiful. Sexy. Tempting.Â
 Itâs like I almost forgot what I came here for before this shithead opened his mouth again.Â
 âAnd who the fuck are you?â Heâs trying to remain calm. Confident, even. But Iâve been told how intimidating my presence can be for people. Itâs clearly affecting him.Â
 âThe guy thatâs fucking telling you sheâs not interested and to leave her the fuck alone,â I bit out. âYou look desperate.â
 He gets off the stool to buck up to me.Â
 Funny.Â
 âWhat happens if I donât?â
 âI donât think you want to find out.â Is all I say to him.Â
 This guy is about three inches, maybe four inches shorter than me. Heâs intoxicated. He is barely confident in the words heâs saying to me. But somehow he thinks he wants to find out if he doesnât listen to my warning.Â
 The other pieces of shit that didnât say anything listen into our heated conversation. I even feel her eyes still on me. Why am I being overprotective over a woman I donât know? Like sheâs mine? Not sure, but I am.Â
 Though, it looks like he made the right decision by walking away, his friends going right along with him.Â
 âYou okay?â I ask her, after the drunken fuck leaves.Â
 âI am. Thank you for defending me.â
 Velvety. Smooth. Soft. Raspy. Mature. All the words that come to mind when I hear her voice. I feel the fucking hair on the back of my neck standing up. I just know she would sound so sweet while taking me.Â
 Fushiguro .
 I know. Iâm a pervert. Fucking shoot me for being attracted to her.Â
 I nod and say nothing else to her, beginning to walk away but she stops me.Â
 âWhatâs your name?â she asks, smiling.Â
 âToji Fushiguro.â
 âDo you usually give out your full name like that, Toji Fushiguro?âÂ
 Charming, I think. I give her a small smile.Â
 âAnd yours?â
 âY/N. Just Y/N, for now.â
 I quip a brow. âYou say for now, are you suggesting there will be a later?â
 âHm, it depends. Do you want to sit down and keep me company? Your scary boyfriend demeanor can probably keep away the rest of the creeps.â
 âScary? Do I scare you?â
 She laughs, and itâs like music to my ears. âNo, Toji. You donât scare me.â
 My name from her lips sounds like pure sin. It drips like honey. I want to taste how it sounds when sheâs moaning it.Â
 âI wouldnât mind, but I have a friend-â I look back to the table where Kong and I were at to see that he left.Â
 And Iâm pretty sure he didnât cover the fucking bill.Â
She shrugs. âI donât mind your friend joining. As long as heâs not weird, which Iâm assuming heâs not since you associate yourself with him. The more, the merrier.âÂ
 âLooks like he left.â
 âThen it looks like youâre going to keep me company.â
 Now, sheâs not asking me. Sheâs telling me.Â
 Shit .Â
 I have no reason to protest, so I fill the seat next to her. The bartender comes to me to take my order, but I tell him just a refill on ginger ale and remind him I have a tab open.Â
 âYou donât drink?âÂ
 âNah, not really. I donât like the taste of alcohol. Itâs not the type of burn that I like,â I tell her.Â
 âWhat kind of burn do you like, Toji Fushiguro?â Is sheâŠ
 âYou flirting with me, Y/N?â
 She smiles. âJust making conversation. Thatâs all.â
 âHm. Well, to answer your question, the workout burn feels good. Help clears my mind.â
 âYou have a lot going on in your mind?â
 âIâm a forty-two and a single dad. My mind feels like a Formula One track.â
 She giggles. âI can only imagine. How old is yourâŠâ
 âSon, and heâs fifteen.Â
 âI donât have kids, but I teach at a high school. Teenagers are definitely not a walk in the park.â
 âA classroom full of kids sounds like hell.â
 This time her laugh is louder and clearer than before.Â
 âI swear itâs not that bad. I used to teach elementary school kids. They are a bit more handful since theyâre younger. I was their temporary mom for the day,â she explains. âTeaching isnât the easiest, but I wouldnât trade it for the world.â
 âI see youâre very passionate about it.â
 âI am.â Y/N takes a swig of her martini, licking the sugar off her lips that coats them. And like the creep she doesnât think I am, I stare at that pretty mouth of hers.Â
 A visual of Y/N on her knees with her full lips wrapped around my cock plays in my mind. Itâs like she knows what Iâm thinking because when she looks at me after putting down her drink, she shies away but quickly gathers herself.Â
 âSo, uhm, what do you do?â Â
 âI work at a luxury club. VIP security,â I answer.Â
 âVery fitting.â
 âHow so?â
 âYou ask me if you scare me. I said no, but you give off protective vibes. Itâs only right to put a good trait to use to make money, no?â
 I hum, taking a sip of my ginger ale. âI guess youâre right.â
 Over the course of hours, Y/N and I carry conversation. Talking to her feels⊠nice. Easy, almost. Like the more we talk, the more familiar she becomes. Iâm not into that artificial crap, but I feel like Iâve spoken to her before.Â
 Like I knew her in another lifetime.Â
 Usually, I talk about myself when Iâm talking to people, especially women. However, with Y/N? I listen to her. The words she says. Her opinions about insightful topics. Sheâs breathtaking. Smart. Addicting.Â
 My cock isnât aching only from her looks, but also from the high I feel from her mind.Â
 I sound like a sap. I know I do. Itâs just⊠I havenât felt this way since my wife died seven years ago.
 Maybe you could try again. Â
 Absolutely not. My heart and any kind of decency I had left was buried in the grave next to my wife.Â
 Thereâs nothing wrong with a good conversation before an attempted fuck, so thatâs all Iâm doing.Â
 Thatâs what Iâm trying to convince myself, at least.Â
 âSo, Toji, you from around here?âÂ
 âNah. Born in Japan. Iâve only been in the States for three years with my kid.â
 âWhat about your sonâs mother? She didnât move with you?â She questions.Â
 I toy with the black band that I still keep on my finger. âNo. She moved somewhere I canât go, unfortunately.â
 âWhere isâOhâŠâ Before asking her question, she realized what I meant. âIâm so sorry, Toji. I shouldnât have invaded like that.â
 âNah, itâs okay. It⊠was a while ago.â
 âIs that why you said your mind feels like a Formula One track?â
 I manage to let out a hoarse chuckle. âYeah. Her death affected me and my son badly, but weâre handling it differently.â
 âNot everyone's grieving process is the same,â she reassures.Â
 âRight, but does it normally cause your kid to hate you?â
 Why am I saying this? Why am I showing my vulnerability to a woman I just met two hours ago? In the middle of a fucking bar for Christâs sake. I canât even blame it on the alcohol because I donât drink.Â
 All I wanted to do was fuck Y/N until sheâs screaming my name, but that sole intention went completely out the door the more we talked.Â
 My slight insecurity from my vulnerability isnât even because of Y/N. She doesnât look bothered or taken off guard from my confession. She just waits for me to talk⊠like she wants to listen to me.Â
 She turns her body around to face me and while doing so, our knees brush. I donât know if she felt that slight electricity when making contact, but I did. Hopefully she just has a good way of masking her reactions.Â
 âWhy do you think your son hates you?âÂ
 I shrug. âWeâre just not as close as we used to be. It feels like his mom was the glue that kept us together. Then, when she died, so did my bond with Megumi.â
 A soft smile of pain shows on her face. âMegumi⊠that means blessings . She picked it?âÂ
 âI did, because thatâs what he feels like.â
 âHm, I see,â she says, simply. âIâm not a therapist, but I wouldnât automatically assume Megumi hates you. Like I said, grief is different for everyone. Iâm pretty sure it can cause distance between loved ones, too. I would say heâs still adjusting. Just like you are.â
 âSure youâre not a therapist?â
 She pats my thighs without realizing what that does to me. âNope, just a high school reading teacher.â
 âSorry guys. Weâre about to close. Mind paying your tab?â The bartender says to us.Â
 Were we talking for that long? Guess that happens when conversation is good.
 âAh okay.â Y/N reaches for purse to pull out her wallet, but mine is already out, giving enough cash to cover both of our bills with a tip. âYou didnât have to do that, Toji.â
 âMaybe I wanted to?â
 She doesnât bother to argue with me. âWellâ thank you.â
 âLet me walk you to your car?â
 âOh, I donât drive when I go out. Never know how much youâre going to drink.â
 âOkay, call your ride share and Iâll wait with you.â
 Y/N nods and starts walking towards the exit. I canât help but take a look at her ass. So fat and naturally shaped. Her legs look so smooth. Thick. I want them to wrap around my waist while I pound into her.Â
 And donât fucking get me started on the top sheâs wearing that shows a peak of her belly. I can tell sheâs not wearing a bra.
Fuck, Y/N.Â
 Why is looking at her making me sexually frustrated?
 Typically, Iâm direct about my intentions. If the woman wants to fuck, cool. If not, also cool. But for some reason I canât open my mouth to ask. My dick presses against my pants and Iâm glad I wore black tonight rather than my normal grey sweats.Â
 âLooks like my ride is about five minutes away,â she says. âI had a really good time talking to you, Toji. Your company wasnât bad.â
 âBetter than that motherfucker from before?â I ask.
 She rolls her eyes at the thought of him. âWay better. Gosh, that guy was so fucking annoying. He does that every time I come here. Iâm hoping since you showed up, he wonât be an issue anymore.â
 âHe wonât.â
  She arches her brow. âWhy so sure?â
 âI think I made my scary boyfriend message clear,â I joke.Â
 âHa, ha, real funny.â Silence is now between us. We look at each other, and on her face is a soft smile while mine is probably the same.Â
 Unlike before, Y/N doesnât shy away. Instead, she speaks.Â
 âCan I be honest?âÂ
 âSure.â
 âI want to kiss you, but Iâm not sure if it would be appropriate,â she admits.Â
 âAnd why wouldnât it be?â
 âWell, you vented to me about your late wife, which is perfectly fine. I appreciate you being that comfortable with me. I just donât want to take advantage of your vulnerability.â
 I chuckle. âYou canât take advantage of me.â
 She places her hands on her hips, shifting her weight onto one leg. âIs that your way of consenting to a kiss?âÂ
 âCan I be honest, too?â She nods. âI want to do more than just kiss you, but I would be no different from that shithead.â
 âNo, you would. The difference is youâre not a creep and Iâm consenting to your honesty, which Iâm attracted to.â Y/N closes the space between us. Even with heels, she still looks up to me because of my height. âConsent is sexy.â
 âI agree,â I affirmed, cuffing around her chin to tilt higher. The whiff of her sweet alcoholic breath fills my senses, and that alone can make me drunk.Â
 Her breath hitches. âDo you?âÂ
 âI do.â
 âKiss me, Toji.â
 And I do. I kiss her hard. Aggressively. Passionately that has my blood rushing straight to my groin. Y/Nâs lips are so fucking soft, sweet, succulent, every descriptor you can think of while kissing someone as pretty as her.Â
 I force her mouth with my own, licking around to explore and get a better taste of her. She whimpers and I utter fuck from how sexy she sounds. That alone can tell me sheâs probably needy, proving my point that she would take my cock in her pussy like Iâm all she knows.Â
 Like I give a fuck about us being in the middle of the street, making out like weâre horny college kids. I want to feel more of her, this fucking body of hers that I know I will have wet dreams about and fist my cock to in the shower when I wake up the next morning.
 âY/N, can IââÂ
 âStop talking,â she whispers. Itâs like Y/N knew what I was going to ask because she cut me off by grabbing my hands to place on her ass so I could squeeze.
 Fuck, itâs so soft and big. It feels jelly and perfect in my hands. While I busy myself with my own, her hands slip through my locks to deepen our kiss. Her full lips overpower mine, sucking and biting on my bottom lip.
 Itâs not a want, but I need to fuck her.
 Now.Â
 âLet me fu-â And before I was able to ask, the honking of her rideshare interrupted our heated kiss, reminding us weâre not alone.
 We break apart and ogle at each other. Those pretty fucking eyes roars with pure lust and hunger. Her lips are swollen, gloss completely gone from my excessive sucking.Â
 My hand is still at her ass while the other feathers along her collarbone and the mountain of her breasts, causing her breaths to shallow. I pull her closer to me so she can feel what she did to me.
 Again, the driver honks the car and Iâm two seconds away from breaking his window if he doesnât fucking wait.Â
 âI can come over?â I ask.
 âI want you to, but I canât. Not tonight,â she declines. âSchool night. Iâm already out later than I planned. Now itâs going to be harder for me to go to sleep after-â
 âThis.â I wrap my hand around her throat to give her a quick sensual kiss.
 âYes,â she breathes, squeezing my arms. âAfter that.âÂ
 Y/N hesitantly breaks away from me to head into the backseat of the car. I open the door for her, but before she goes in, I grab her arm to pull back into my chest so I can kiss herâagain.Â
 Sheâs just so fucking addicting
 âToji, I have to go,â she tells me with a smile on her face.Â
 âAlright, alright.â I let her go so she can get in the car and roll down the window. âYou say not tonight. So when? âHm, Iâll let you know,â she teases. The driver got sick of our shit, so he slowly started driving away but kept close enough for me to hear Y/N. âGood night, Toji Fushiguro.â
 âNight, Y/N.â And sheâs gone, leaving me in front of the bar with a hard dick and pornographic thoughts.Â
 Y/N is so fucking sexy, and sheâs a good woman. Has a career that she loves. A good listener and honest without coming off as judgemental. Not like it would hurt me if she did, but I didnât realize how calming it felt to talk to a stranger about my lack of confidence with being a single dad. Sheâs almost like a ray of⊠sunshine.Â
 Too perfect for me.
 We didnât even exchange numbers, so the likelihood of me fucking her is slim to none.Â
 Oh well. Maybe I was only meant to meet her to hear her reassurance and taste her lips⊠feel her assâŠÂ
 Shit, my dick is harder than before.
 Jacking off isnât going to work. Not tonight .Â
 I pull out my phone and scroll through my contacts to see who can help alleviate my pleasure.Â
 Maybe Iâll run into Y/N someday. Hopefully in this lifetime.Â

Fluent Freshman - Part 26
PREVIOUS
Nicky canât help but bounce his legs as they sit in the waiting room at the hospital. Heâs had to leave the waiting room a couple times already because in Aaronâs effort to comfort him, and wow how far theyâve come heâs really raised Aaron to be such a thoughtful young man, the jackass has unknowingly made four more Miss Congeniality references.
This is a waiting room full of nervous families and Nicky is NOT about to be the guy who canât stop laughing because Aaron mentioned World Peace in a snapback at Kevin.
Nicky is not going to be the one to explain FFâs jokes. He MAY already be planning a Miss Congeniality movie night. Neil, Aaron, and Kevin may not remember but ANDREW will and watching Andrew realize his friend was referencing an AMAZING movie when talking about how he took out one of the FBIs most wanted was all he wanted at the moment.
Another nurse comes in and calls out âElias Smith?â But Wymack doesnât get up from his seat still sipping his now lukewarm coffee. Thereâs been 14 different times sheâs called for a âSmithâ family but Wymack hasnât moved for any of them and different waiting families have gotten up to get updates and taken back to see their family members.
Maybe he wants to see Andrewâs face a little less than he wants to see FFâs right now. He has his flowers on a chair next to him and a get well soon card that heâd had Wymack also sign. He was waiting for Smithâs grandma to come to see if she wanted in on some card real estate
âSeriously, how many Smiths got stabbed yesterday?â Kevin marvels.
âAt this point itâs at least 12.â Aaron remarks.
âIâm at 14 not including Smithy.â Nicky says.
âAt least weâll finally get to find out Smithâs first name.â Kevin crosses his arms and leans back heavily into the chair, âIâm hungry.â He whines.
âYeah, at least thereâs that.â Nicky agrees because not knowing FFâs name at this point made him feel like an incredibly BAD friend. Even mores than the fact that Nicky raised the man that stabbed FF last night. He turns his thoughts away from those thoughts, âYou wouldnât be hungry if you hadnât bitched about the breakfast burritos I had us pick up.â Nicky argues.
âIt was greasy! Iâm already slipping on my diet after Thanksgiving and eating that pie.â Kevin argues back.
Nicky canât help but think of Kevin as a pageant contestant in that moment.
Nicky looks heavenward for the strength not to laugh.
âThen go get something.â Aaron says from Nickyâs side, âThereâs gotta be a cafeteria or something around here.â Aaron adds.
âI donât want to go alone.â Kevin shoots back and Nicky can HEAR Aaron roll his eyes.
âFine, whatever I need more coffee anyways. Letâs go find a cafeteria.â Aaron says getting up and Nicky looks at his cousin, âText us if you get a room number.â He says.
âWill do.â Nicky agrees.
Then it was two.
Itâs about five minutes before, âDavid Wymack?â
Nickyâs head shoots to Wymack and he sees the smug amusement on their coachâs face.
That motherfucker.
Nicky followed Wymack up to the doctor in question. âHowâs he doing?â Wymack asks.
âThatâs what I wanted to talk to you aboutâŠâ The doctor says and Nicky feels his stomach sink into his toes.
***
Neil has NEVER been more relieved to be out of a car and that includes the ones Lola had him in (though that might be because being out of those cars meant he was closer to his death by way of Nathan).
Granny Smith had not spoken a word unprompted since they had climbed into the car. Granny Smith had the exact same expressionless face as her grandson did but it is only now that Neil realizes that there was always some hint of emotion on FFâs face. Neil wasnât great at knowing exactly what those emotions were but they were there.
Granny Smithâs rage was pretty hard to miss.
âI think she knows.â Andrew had said with his hands white knuckled at 10 and 2.
âHow could she?â Neil questions. âSmithâs phone fell in that toilet before he got stabbed.â He says but he can feel the anger and can feel it directed towards them.
She had seemed so nice with Paul!
Though Paul didnât have anything to do with her grandson getting stabbed. Neil could understand how that might sour any niceness.
Neil and Andrew had pulled into the parking lot and it was only then that Granny Smith leaned forward and pointed towards the entrance.
Words werenât really necessary then.
Before Neil could even try and trudge through offering to bring her bag to her the woman was out of the back of the Maserati and through the sliding doors of the hospital.
âMaybeâŠmaybe sheâs just like that? Smith likes to sit in silence too?â Neil tries but Andrew doesnât say anything as he turns the Maserati into the parking lot to find a space.
They walked in only to find the receptionist looking confusedly at Granny Smith as the woman spoke in rapid Polish but was getting nowhere.
Neil watched as Andrew squared his shoulders and walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. When she turned around she the fear and anger shown through in her expression. Neil could understand in a way. FF was her grandson and considering the fact that FF had likely gotten his interest in languages from learning Polish from her?
Theyâre probably close.
Neil is pretty sure that normal close family members worry like this.
Almost positive.
He may not have the best examples in his own life but he has watched enough television and enough movies to start to see what might be considered normal!
Really!
AnywaysâŠ
Andrew points towards the doors that would lead them towards the elevator that they could take up to the waiting room.
Neil watches as Granny Smith visibly struggles before nodding. Andrew holds out his hand and she stares at it before Andrew points at her bag.
She blinks, looking taken aback.
âI can carry it.â He offers.
Itâs a few moments of looking between Andrewâs face and his hand before she hands over her bag.
Andrew puts it over his shoulder and the three of them silently made their way up. The elevator ride was slightly less excruciating than the car ride but only just.
They got off and saw Nicky, Wymack, and a Doctor.
ââŠso he may not wake up.â Neil hears and watches as Andrewâs shoulders go instantly tense and Neil feels his own heart jump into his throat.
Then Nicky laughs.
âOf course heâs sleepy!â Nicky throws his head back.
âYes, he had a high level of cortisol, thatâs the stress hormone, in his blood. He should wake up either late today or early tomorrow though.â The Doctor says.
âOh thank GOD.â Nicky says with a relieved slump to his shoulders, âYou really gotta work on how you start conversations like this Doc! I thought you were going to tell me Smithy died not that heâs just going to sleep like the dead for at least 18 more hours!â Nicky exclaims before his gaze slides off of the Doctor and onto their group. âOh!â Nicky moves past the Doctor and stops in front of them. âYou must be Smithyâs grandma!â He says and offers his hand like the sweet respectable young man that Nicky absolutely isnât.
âNicky, she doesnât-â
âTy musisz byÄ Nicky! JesteĆ taki przystojny, tak jak powiedziaĆ mĂłj kurczaczek.â Granny Smith knocks his hand away and pinches his cheek. Nicky visibly melts at the warm tonÄ even if he doesnât know what is being said to him.
âOh!â Nicky says, âI hope I donât butcher this, DziÄkujÄ! UwielbiaĆem Pani ciasto!â He says haltingly before pausing, âNazywa go Pani swoim kurczakiem? Jakie to sĆodkie!â he says but this time his enthusiasm has the language come out more smoothly.
Granny Smith seems to light up even more. âCzyĆŒ nie?â
âNicky, since when did you know Polish?â Andrew asks brows raised slightly in shock.
âWhat? You two arenât the only ones who decided to learn a cute foreign language so you could have secret couple conversations.â Nicky huffs frowning at the two of them, âErikâs company has an office in Poland, he thinks it might be fun to try living there for a while so weâve been learning the last year and a half.â Nicky says, âSmithyâs been such a huge help on it too!â He adds.
Neil opens his mouth, thinks about it, and closes it.
Thatâs fair.

No please I am begging for you to expand on the Gator Tillman headcanon, I will give you my firstborn, a million dollars, anything you want
Hurts so good / Gator Tillman / One shot / Smut <3
CW- smut, hair pulling, degradation, spitting, name calling, p in v, thigh riding, creampie, D/S, pain, blood.
AN- I gotchu anon:,) I hope this is okay!! <3 thank you so so much for your request and taking so much interest in my writing! It means the whole world to me.
âYouâre pathetic yâknow?â Gator spits out, his words practically impaling your skin. âLook at you, riding my thigh. Since the second I got through the door. Fuckinâ all over me, stupid fuckinâ whore.â
He takes a fist full of your hair, pulling you back from your place in his neck so you can see his face. You can just about whisper out the word âDaddyâ before heâs pulling at your hair and biting at your neck so hard, you wince at the thought of the bruises that will decorate your skin in the morning.
âIâm going to fuckinâ ruin you.â He growls, and with a dead pan face heâs eye fucking you before he even lays a finger on your skin. Gator brings his index and middle finger up to your lips, gently tracing them. His touch is featherlight, so painfully soft youâre desperate to feel more. He points to his belt, you know itâs a demand. Hands scrambling to undo his ridiculous sheriffâs belt buckle. âFuckinâ cock drunk already? Even more of a whore than I thought.â He laughs, that quiet Gator chuckle of his that if you blink youâll miss. He takes a hit of whatever disgusting flavour he has in that vape and blowing the smoke into your face.
Without warning or any real foreplay, Gator slams inside of you. âTight fuckinâ hole. Made for me. Made for me to fuck. For me to ruin. Iâll tell you this darlinâ no other motherfucker is gonna have this hole. Iâll make sure of it.â Spitting on his cock before pounding into you again. He mutters, âdonât you fuckinâ dare move. For the same reason you donât get to go on top. I fuck this whole for my pleasure, not yours. Pathetic little slut.â
He drags his nails into your back harshly, marking up his property. Gator takes your hands from beneath you, holding them behind your scratched up back. Your mobility taken away by that small act of dominance, your face has no choice but to be smothered into the bed sheets.
âThere ya go, just fucking take it. Quit ya whining. I know mâ big but you just gotta be a good lil cocksleeve for me.â Pulling your hair backwards, contorting your body so he has access to your face. His wrist swings and you feel the familiar sting of his right hand burning against your face.
âCount with me now.â He spits once more, aiming for his cock but it reaches your back. The spit surrounding the fresh scratches that have begun to bleed. It stings but thatâs the last thing youâre worried about.
He slaps your flushed cheek once more. âTwo.â You manage whimper, your voice somewhat lost in the scene. âThreeâ .. âFourâ⊠âFiveââŠ
The pool between your thighs feels warmer, the overly familiar feeling in the pit of your stomach rises. Youâre so close, your orgasm building becoming more and more intense by the second. You scream to Gator, signalling that youâre about to come undone on his cock. He takes a handful of your ass and squeezes, digging his calloused fingers into your skin, crescent marks left as decoration.
âFuckinâ the moans out of you huh?â He teases, heâs not wrong though. The sounds pouring out of your mouth are ungodly and animalistic. You come undone, saliva dribbling from your mouth onto the pillow. Your cum drooling down your thighs. He doesnât stop. He knows youâre overstimulated from the release.
âGonna fuck you through the aftershocks. Thatâs what you want, isnât it? Whore.â
He flips you over, fucking you in missionary.
He grunts, bending forward to grope your tits. Twisting your rosebuds in his fingertips, he spits on them caressing them before yanking at them once more.
He thrusts into you once more, spurting hot ropes of cum deep inside you. âFuckinâ dirty whore, letting me do whatever I want to you. God Iâd be embarrassed to be your father.â
Pulling out of you to spank your sensitive clit with his tip before easing up on you. âSâall good now baby. I got you.â Gator collapses on the bed beside you, pulling you into his chest. Reaching out for his vape, âso good for mâ princessâ he praises and kisses your forehead and wiping the sweat from his.
âWanna hit?â He offers you his vape, to which you aggressively decline. âGross.â You laugh and shake your head.
âYouâre grossâ he repeats, brushing your hair away from your face, planting a kiss your cheek. âYouâre the grossest girl ever, my grossest girl.â

à©â©â§âË ivy | ellie w.
PAIRING: ellie x fem!reader
SUMMARY: although years have gone by, ellie cannot seem to get over the one that got away when a drunk night with friends lead to unexpected past places.
WARNING: somewhat nsfw and somewhat angst
WORD COUNT: 1.049
love, whatâs it good for? a neurological con job, an excruciatingly slow but certain downwards spiral towards heartbreakâ ellie was painfully aware of the sole two outcomes the feeling could possibly amount to, both of which meant agony ripping at her insides, a flesh eating beast doomed to haunt her ribcage as a lonely heartâs guard. she drowned out the sound of her cries permanently stuck in a lump between the clavicules with alcohol as though it would wipe her insides clean of romanceâs remnants. five years was an eternity of time; she cursed the motherfucker who claimed time healed all wounds while hers remained too fresh for scabs. jesse was the one to pull her away from the destructive thoughts, a hand to the shoulder immediately flinched from.
âyou know when we first became friends i lost a ten dollar bet âcause i was sure youâd be a fun drunk? two cups later you turned into fucking nietzsche or some shit. every time we go out just know i mourn my moneyâ
ellie smirked in response before her body reminded itself why it has become that way.
eighteen year olds with raging hormones smuggling contraband to a half acquaintanceâs garage party were the stupidest people allowed to carry hearts on their sleeve, always a truth or dare game away from confessing shakesperian feelings in stutters and chokeholds. your first kiss together was a seven minutes in heaven, where ellie swore sheâd moved the empty bottle through newly acquired telekinesis.
she was cocky back then, careless too. entered the closet with a hand by your lowerback and so quickly crashed your lips together there was barely time to catch a breath. it was chapped, and desperate, and golden. she tasted of weed and every shooting star wish you ever made coming true, you tasted of cheap wine and candy rush on a five year oldâ your bodies pressed so close against eachother the wooden shelves trembled at the embrace. ellie used to be funny and you, god, you used to be made of giggles that put the sun to shame. she remembered your laugh into the kiss, the way it echoed down her throat, and that thought in its pureness lead to less holy memories of your moans, of how she used to rub herself against you till the wetness made you one, and her core ached. another sip of her drink to mask your taste still so effortlessly by her tongue through thought only she was sure to be going insane.
âyou just need to get laidâ jesse pointed out every attractive girl by the bar that drooled at her sight and blushed under her gaze, all predictable, none you. she wanted to get laid alright, she just needed it to be with you.
ellie remembered the last time you fucked; remembered the airport bathroom becoming increasingly smaller with every finger thrust, remembered whispering in your ear you would always be hers, remembered best of all you agreeing in hushed, choked out moans. you were late and you were wet dripping past your thighs, she licked you clean and savored it.
âfound your little miss sunshineâ dina struck her out of her thoughts so frantically ellieâs head spun even as she coaxed words to come out.
âwhat are you talking about?â
âher address. itâs wonders what one can do with a full name and the internet nowadays. itâs a five hour drive, if we get going now weâll be there by two a.m for sureââ
âare you insane? what the fuck am i gonna do, ring my ex girlfriendâs doorbell at two in the morning half a decade after we last seen eachother and go hey i havenât gotten over you since you left me five years ago to a new city, wanna get back together?â ellie mocked sincerely.
âi mean you donât really have to do anything, we could always just stand there and think this whole thing was super funny tomorrowâ
half a whiskey bottle in and two road trip! chants that coaxed the entire clueless bar of drunks to join in unknowingly later, it was a mostly convincing idea. thatâs how she lost a hundred bucks to an unknown chatty bartender newly designated driver who had nothing to lose but a job shift and spent the next hours of her life being sobered up by dinaâs relentlessly flirting towards the girl. ellie wasnât sure when she had fallen asleep, only noticed jesseâs shoulder beneath her cheek poking her face as to wake her up once the car was at a full stop, anticipation bouncing off of every member of the drive choking her in anxiety now fully soberly aware of her actions.
the neighborhood was different, quiet, green. it was odd knowing your exact house despite never being close to it beforeâ she knew by the garden, infested of dandelions. you called them the wishing flowers and teared up when ellie told you they were actually weeds. you two had planned a dandelion filled front porch together, and there you were, living it alone. she felt pathetic, letting the feeling sink to the pit of her stomach, refused to get out of the car and finally had her arguments interrupted by a loud meowing. and saw you. messy hair left to roam free, mismatched socks, an oversized band t-shirt, her t-shirt, and nothing else.
âjoelâ you cooed, raising the impatient and loud kitten up towards your arms and it nuzzled onto your tired face âyou have to stop leaving in the middle of the night okay? i canât keep waking up like thisâ
ellie was frozen in place, watching your every move. your baby voice so soft she barely heard it from parking, the softness of your touch melting even a cat into submission, the way you had not changed one bit immediately transporting her into the past. the spell she had been under to observe you endlessly having only been broken by the front seat window rolling open noisily, though not fast enough to stop the wreckage coming as dina opened her mouth, inconsequential.
âhey, miss sunshine! i got your ex girlfriend in the back!â
your eyes met. the kisses, the taste, the skin, the caressing, the warmth, the words, the foreheads, the flowers, everything rushed back.
âels?â

obx s4 e1 đïž
i just watched the first episode of OUTER BANKS SEASON 4 (part one) so here are some raw thoughts & notes <33
( not proofread, literally just rambled. but hope u enjoy it & if you make it to the end - the real end - ur a real one <3 wtf was that ?? lol )
first of all, how is everyone so gorgeous in this season like thank you <33333 my babes are looking better than ever in the perfect balance between tired to the max and serving (renewed 2024). cleo is hot as fuck like always, mah john duo is looking so damn sharp and good, pope is literally king so i don't need to explain, and sarah just full on pogue life now ugh <3 and KIARA. MA'AM. i'm not a fan of kiara (sue me) but she is GLOWING this season. like, just like the girls of the cast said, they're def putting effort into their looks and boy is it working. kiara's outfits and hair through all the flashbacks and time jumps in this first episode has been heaven. and now that i've got curls i am feeling so inspired by her. and just every piece of her clothes?? the girls as a whole?? man i haven't felt this happy recently like damn. alr moving on (i'm not)
+ the emotional length & setup we got already. all that stuff with 'doesn't mean we're pogues' at the shop from jj & kie, just jj's face all along as they were dealing with the maybank property (wtf happened to luke tho am i forgetting something), his burstout after they made poguelandia 2.0 and his "home" come true, kie looking at him with the new perspective(which i surprisingly don't hate this season, he deserves it), and ofc some peak jj maybank behavior with the auction & enduro, oh god we are so back to what obx is, and we're really getting the jj focus & depth we badly wanted throughout the whole journey. i love my boy.
RAFAEL CAMERON. that man appeared on the screen and shattered my heart. such a big jump between the pogues scenes and him and i was 200% in for both of them. i announced my stance that i would not gaf if rafe and sofia broke up at the end of the season or sofia did shit to him or something (sorry) and barry was just there for him, and i still stand by it, but thank god THANK GOD he had someone to be there with him when he was doing ward's ashes. i was full on tearing my heart out crying screaming when he said those lines to his dad because oh he was the awful-est to you. and that bitterness at the race. but then sofia yelling "you got this baby" or whatever it was. Gah. pls take care of my boy. pls. am i reading a fic because he's finally got someone to love, someone who loves him.
since i didn't see wheezie, sofia, or barry at the premiere (i think) i was sort of worried, and wheezie and barry haven't shown yet (obx has the best side characters like be for real even rose has an interesting role and all the side villain-ish people haunt you forever) -- but it's only the first episode of the first part and i'm willing to have patience !! i was so angry to hear it was coming out in two parts but i'm not gonna be having much time to binge anyways so i won't complain, i'm just way too happy with what i got till now and god i'm so thankful. all that stuff with tua and kaos yeah fuck you netflix but jeez. at least i have this and heartstopper ---- no, no, no, thank motherfucking god they didn't set these on fire. ugh i'm so happy right now. okay. gonna stop talking now. GAHK. so cute so perfect so happy i can't !!!!!!!!!!

The Fall of the House of Usher (2023) Episode 1
A foreword, of sorts: If someone had told me in high school or even college that I would willingly sit down to watch a horror tv show, I would have laughed in their face. Who knew it would take my college professor Emma's teachings of Pym and my first foray into Critical Theory that I brought with me to law school to get to this point. I haven't even finished watching School Spirits yet so the depression has really taken me for a ride, but my boyfriend says I need a hobby, and I spent two and a half hours and 7 and a half pages of notes on just the first episode of this show, so I'm going to write about it because I miss writing.
If you're here from twitter, may the gods have mercy on your soul.
Now, let's move on to business. My recap of Episode 1 of The Fall of The House of Usher. There will be spoilers for the Poe stories as well as detailed commentary of the events within the episode, so obviously I'm going to put a SPOILER WARNING for whatever you read below. Also, since the first episode introduces the story and the characters, it will probably be long as heck and full of background that no one but me cares about because I'm a huge nerd. I don't care if you skim. Read at your own peril; stay tuned for danger.
Firstly, let's talk about the original short story and see if Wikipedia can help me write a good, short summary of the premise/plot of that story. From within the first two minutes of the show, I can tell that we are going to deviate wildly from the plot.
In the original short story, published in 1839, the tale is told by an unnamed narrator who has been called to the House of Usher at the behest of his childhood friend Roderick Usher who is ill and needs help. Roderick and his twin Madeline are the only living members of the Usher family left alive in their family mansion. One thing that high school teachers everywhere probably tried to teach their students is to pay attention to the narrator's notice of a thin crack that extends from the roof, down the house, and into the nearby lake. This may be important later, but for me right now, I view it as a double entendre. Spoiler alert, at the end of the original short story, both Roderick and Madeline die, leading to the "fall" of the House of Usher, in that the last two living descendants die and therefore end the family name, and also the literal "fall" of the house, the family mansion that they lived in.
I have to admit I watched the first two minutes, tweeted about it, then got so engrossed about halfway through the episode that I grabbed a legal pad and started the episode from the beginning.
Firstly, the opening starts with a countdown to New Year's 1980 before we see a quick image of a cawing raven and a creepy vision of Carla Gugino's smiling face. The episode is titled "A Midnight Dreary," a line from Poe's "The Raven," so at this point I'm confused because obviously this is a completely different short story, but I roll with it. Unfortunately, I didn't have the foresight last night to look ahead and see what the other episode titles were, because then I would have probably understood the plot a little better.
We cut now to a stained glass window in a church (hello Jesus symbolism, can't wait to ponder you later) and then the pastor seems to be giving a eulogy about three dead people. We cut to an older gentleman with a teen girl sitting behind him who seems to be remembering 6 different visions. Side note: I googled the eulogy, and it cobbles together various lines from Poe's poems as well as quotes that are ascribed to Poe. At this point I guess that the older man and older women in sunglasses are the twins, and wonder who the teen girls are behind each of them before seeing MARK MOTHERFUCKING HAMILL on the screen. Even in my notes I just write him down as Mark Hamill, or MH, which is a real shame because his character's name is Arthur Pym, which is the main character from the only "book" Poe ever wrote, and there's a lot of controversy around whether it was finished or not, but I spent several classes in undergrad analyzing that book in particular, so it has a very soft spot in my heart.
Roderick(?) turns back and sees a figure with a blacked out face in the rafters, but then the girl turns around, nobody is there. When she turns to him, she calls him Grampus, so I can assume this girl is his granddaughter and not his daughter. Then Roderick (?) says, "She's here." Not quite to his granddaughter, but mostly to himself. How cryptic. I'm sure we won't think about that until it jumps right into our faces. At this point, in hindsight I had assumed that the "very pale girl" behind Madeline was her granddaughter, but oh how wrong I was.
Outside the church, we see press all over, but the church itself was noticeably empty. Then, then, we cut to a cork board. This confirms Roderick and Madeline are who I thought I was, and also gives Mark Hamill the name of Arthur Pym. Then, I painstakingly went in and paused at nearly every second of the next scene to read the details on the children, their dates of death, and any bits of information I could get from the articles about cause of death (aka COD.) The death dates are clustered very closely together. I don't know quite yet if it goes from youngest to eldest, but I'm sure we shall find out.
Then, the big reveal. Well, to me at least. I saw that the Assistant U.S. Attorney was C. Auguste Dupin, and let me tell you I pumped my fist in the air and nearly woke up my sleeping boyfriend next to me. Why? You don't care but I'm going to tell you. Dupin was introduced in The Murders in the Rue Morgue (1841), my favorite Poe short story, and also the first ever piece of writing ever coined as "detective fiction." Yes, my absolute favorite genre of writing was created by Edgar Allan Poe, so as problematic as he may have been, I will always be grateful to him for this. Besides, the plot for Rue Morgue was so wild, I saw Dupin's name and had to pause and tweet about it. Specifically, I tweeted about hoping that one of the CODs would be strangulation by an escaped monkey. Mind you, like an idiot, I still haven't looked at the damn names of all of the episodes of the series. Since last night, I have been told to keep an eye out, so that's fun.
I can't believe I typed all of that up from the first like, three minutes of the show. I warned you this was going to be long.
Then, we pan out to the corkboard being a whole ass murder board. We love that. Still no clue who Pym is and why he's alive, but the random guy who walked into the office to talk to Dupin just said something about a Pym Reaper, so I got a chuckle out of that. There's emphasis here about "him" wanting to talk. Obviously, by process of elimination, this him is Roderick.
Dupin takes a taxi (oooh, vintage) to this location, and we see it is a dilapidated house. The "House" of Usher, methinks? I will say it definitely gives rise to the gothic vibe of terror and dread, but thankfully we're not going into Gothic architecture, that would have been a little too on the nose. The clothing I've seen is very modern and the death dates are all in November, so I genuinely thought it was set last year but it wasn't. Everything is apparently set to happen next month. In the future. How foreboding.
Roderick invites Dupin in and Dupin attempts to console Roderick for his losses, but Roderick seems much more focused on the drink in his hand. Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac Grande Champagne. I googled it and apparently it is a real drink. I have to say, Roderick really doesn't seem to curry favor with Dupin when he suggests "a single pour is probably worth double your annual salary" but then he offers a glass to Dupin. This man is clearly going through something. By now, I can surmise it is the death of his family, but is this The House of Usher? Is this dilapidated building the same setting that we see in the original tale? Is Dupin now taking the place of the unnamed narrator of past?
Dupin still tries to apologize, but Roderick just seems...resigned to his fate. Also, Dupin asks where Mr. Pym is and we find out that Mark Hamill is playing a defense attorney. Amazing. Three years of law school and a JD later, and Mark Hamill, one of my favorite actors, is playing an attorney with the name of one of my most intriguing literary characters. All of my worlds have collided.
Roderick waives his right to an attorney and sits Dupin down across from him to talk. Dupin says Roderick got away with it, Roderick says no one really ever gets away with anything, not really. Dupin pushes back and says Madeline would beg to differ. Roderick says you can ask yourself, she's downstairs in the basement. At this point, I am convinced that Madeline is dead and buried, but this episode will not reveal that information to me. Trust me, I'm holding onto that theory because it is close in parallel to the original story, but I am soooo open at this point to being surprised because the actor for Roderick has sucked me in completely. Bruce Greenwood. I have painfully powerful facial recognition, so it delights me that I've never seen him in anything before so I can get sucked into his acting completely. Seriously, I just recently recognized the brother in Get Out from a single episode of Victorious because that one episode is my favorite. It can ruin my immersion sometimes.
Anyhow, back to the story. I'm rambling, but I have ADHD and I miss stream of consciousness writing so this is more for me than it is for you.
Roderick's phone vibrates, he says it is his granddaughter, Lenore. My eyeballs are rolling back into my head. We have a connection to The Raven, finally. She's not dead at present, so we shall see if she follows her namesake into the Great Beyond. Dupin tries to graciously allow Roderick to take that call and cites that "grandkids take priority" but Roderick calls him out!
He says "Don't lecture me about family values. You're just as shit in that department as I am."
At this point I am confused but I can't look away. Roderick says he wants to give his confession. Dupin whips out a recorder. November 20th, 2023. Roderick confirms we are in his childhood home. I am vibrating like a cat because I think my theory is correct, and I realize that based off of the death dates of his children, that much of this series will be told from this setting, in those chairs, and with flashbacks to important moments.
I was not prepared for the beginning of this story. In 1953, the house is warmer, more cheerful. R and M are just children, and Roderick speaks about "the woman who would shape every choice we would ever make." Their mother. Eliza. Aptly given the same name as Poe's mother. Personal secretary to the CEO of Fortunato Pharmaceuticals. The same company the Ushers own in modern times. Already I have questions about the lineage of the twins, but you know how it is.
"Not here. Not ever. We agreed." Very cryptic words, Mr. Longfellow. Madeline always hated him, she "always knew." Knew he was a liar? A terrible person? Or did she know he was their father?
Then we get into the religious phrases the mom uses. "Like Jesus, he loves from afar." "He's complicated, like God." I always find it very interesting but also very sad when the words a woman uses to justify a man's abuse is cloaked in a veil of religion. I won't go into detail on that, though. There just isn't time.
Jump to 1962. Nine years later, the twins look to be teenagers. Their studying is interrupted by a bell, and we cut to Eliza ringing a bell in bed. There is a plethora of crosses now hanging on the wall behind her, so that's...lovely. Both twins rush to her, and Eliza pushes a glass of water away. At first I thought it was rabies, but then Eliza seems to be suffering from pain in her pelvic region based off of how her actress was portraying her pain. Honestly, my theory is that she probably had an untreated STI which may have spread to other organs. Either way, her denial of medication or a doctor horrifies me. The screaming and the vitriol is a complete tone shift to who she was prior. But what I really find interesting is that Madeline, not Roderick, seems to be the brains of the pair. She is the one who coaches Roderick on what to say and how to say it to Longfellow, even though Roderick eventually messes up. There seems to be a double entendre in the way Madeline says "it's the least he can do." Because I have suspicions that Madeline knows he is their father, I keep autofilling this in my head. The shift in Mr. Longfellow's mood from humorous, almost mocking disbelief to anger and contemptuous pushback against the twins when Roderick tells him "she loves you" is enough for me. Even Madeline following up with "It's the least you could do. For her. For us." isn't necessary anymore for me to believe he is the father.
Longfellow's denial only seals the deal.
Cut to Eliza's...corpse. She didn't make it, but in trying to keep with her wishes, they tear apart the shed and build her a coffin and bury her in the backyard. Of course, because *spoiler alert* Madeline was accidentally buried alive, I had a hunch Eliza might climb out of her grave. I was proven right, and Eliza wakes up, tries to attack Roderick, but stops when Eliza calls her "Mommy" and grabs her arm. (Actress for teen Madeline is also fantastic, her look of horror was evocative as fuck. 10/10. No notes.) ELiza then walks out, goes into the gates of Longfellow's house and proceeds to choke him to death (with apparently superhuman strength) before finally collapsing next to his body.
What I *love* about this all is that when we cut back to the present, and Dupin asks about why Roderick is telling him all this, Roderick says it is because she's standing right behind Dupin! And you know what drives me nuts? SHE IS. SHE'S TOTALLY THERE AND HE DOESN'T TURN AROUND! Dupin does not see her and we see eliza walk out of the frame.
It is important to note that Roderick talks about the cleanup of that story to spare "his" family, the Usher family, of any embarrassment. He confirms that Longfellow was his father but doesn't claim him as family because Longfellow never claimed him, but it explains why he acknowledges all six of his children from five different mothers.Roderick wouldn't close the gates. Finally, we have confirmation, verbal confirmation from Roderick about who his father was.
Side note: Dupin has a husband, how progressive. I'm down for it. We love it when the elderly LGBTQ+ community is acknowledged.
Two weeks ago:
Then we switch to a trial against Fortunato Pharmaceuticals and the Usher "crime" family, according to Dupin's opening statement. As someone who did pretty damn well in both evidence and criminal law, I'm side-eyeing this opening statement. Let me tell you, law school ruins your ability to suspend disbelief for so many court things in television and movies. Also Fortunato? After The Cask of Amontillado? That's the short story I had to read in high school, and I enjoyed it enough. It does, however, tie in well if the company is also destroyed, locked away, hidden from society, whatever you want to call it to tie into the ending of Cask.
I will say this, Roderick fathered gorgeous children nonstop. Every one of these actors is stunning. I found it odd that the camera panned to Lenore and her mother(?) for a close up when Dupin talks about corruption ut when panned out Lenore is hidden from the view of the audience. At this point, I had not drawn any conclusions as to why that is. I kept fixating on "The Pale Girl," who we later find out is Juno, Roderick's newest wife. Let me tell you, that revelation was crazy because I thought she was Madeline's sole daughter who idolized Dita Von Teese and Dolores Umbridge in the worst hybridization of ways, but Ruth Codd's facial expressions are stunning. I'm visibly uncomfortable when I look at her, and that's fantastic. She's showing me so much with her body language, I can't stand how good she is. Anyhow, I love her. I will be following more of her.
Then, Dupin drops the bomb. The bomb. The thing that makes Madeline's face go from quiet amusement to concern. The statement that makes every Usher child react. There's an informant in the midst. And it is one of them.
Pym, in my opinion, correctly calls out the failure to disclose the identity of this informant. When counsel approaches the bench, this opening statement about the family witness is struck from the record, but it does what Dupin intends it to do. It rattles the whole family. Pym probably makes so much damn money off of these people.
Roderick calls a family dinner for everyone and their spouses. Then we cut to introductions of each family member. Frederick turns out to be the father of Lenore, and his wife's name is Morrie, I think? I had to check Wikipedia for this, but her name is Morella, she's a former actress and model, and now she makes hyper-realistic cakes. Freddie gives me Dan Levy vibes. He blames Perrie, who I assume is Prospero. Lenore calls out that the informant would "have to be pretty brave, I guess" and asks if the charges are true. At this point, there is a massive, MASSIVe red flag waving in my head. Is Lenore the informant? Or is she the red herring? It gets more juicy when she suggests that "if someone really broke the law, shouldn't they be punished?" The red flag...of justice? Morrie casually warns that breaking away from family rank would get you written out of the will, highlighting the difference in values between Lenore and the rest of the family.
Then we cut to Tamerlane and her husband, Bill T. Wilson. (Very cute reference to a short story Poe wrote called William Wilson.) She also says her money on the informant is "one of the bastards." All this does it solidify her and Freddie as the two children Roderick had "in wedlock." Bill suggests the informant is Freddie, and Tamerlane pushes back. She muses that it might be Perry, Bill suggests Juno, her "new stepmom." Tamerlane bristles at this, but also drops that Juno doesn't "know anything." If she really is so new to the family she doesn't know its secrets, then she's the most innocent one there and is also the only one who took the charges against the family seriously enough to not be able to hide it on her face. Tamerlane mentions Goldbug, a short story I have not read, and Tamerlane drops an important tidbit: She doesn't care about the world, she cares about what her dad thinks." I had to google who tf Blippi is for this conversation. Also, they do threesomes? Also, TEST MONKEYS?
Yep. We're going to have the true Rue Morgue murder. We are now introduced to Victorine. And her surgical partner/life partner. They have a successful surgery of some sort on a test monkey. Post-op the women are seen talking about struggling to get peer review because of nightshade. Whatever this nightshade powder Roderick sent over, it's working, but it is the same stuff that paralyzes South American tourists who get it blown in their face. Spooky. Victorine jokes about keeping away from Perry. That boy does not have anyone on his side for this. He's painted as young, immature, and apparently a date rapist so far. However, Victorine points the finger at Camille!
We jump to Leo, apparently on the phone with his boyfriend Julius. He convinces Julius to not come to the family dinner, but he finds out that Julius is on his way up while he's getting head from a woman. So Leo is a bisexual and he's a cheater. Love that about him. Has a black cat named Pluto.
We shift to Camille, apparently the HBIC of the family's PR. She tosses out orders to her drab little assistants hastily scribbling down notes. Her comment about Victorine is not unnoticed, but Camille puts aside her own feelings about her sister in order to push ahead of the PR disaster of the trial. When asked about Juno, Camille has a lot more frustration there for the massive age gap and lack of, idk, decorum about Juno? I'm intrigued as to what "Scraped her off the emergency room floor" means but I'm sure I will find out. Her main priority is sniffing out the informant, she also points to Perry but also claims she doesn't think he's clever enough to talk to the Feds without it ending up on Tiktok. Ouch. Give Perry a damn break. Or don't. He sounds awful. They all certainly seem awful. Like Tamerlane, Camille seems eager to please her father, emphasizing that she wants to be the one who finds the informant to deliver their head to her father.
Juno speaks! and she's Irish. I love that. Apparently she moderated an NA meeting once, so she's either a drug addict or a drug addict seriously affected her family. Tie-in to the Fortunato company? Possible motive? Possible mole? We shall wait and see. I love the comedy Roderick drops in about how the children have to love Juno because the only thing stronger than love is their fear of getting written out of the will.
Then the family doctor arrives with private news on Roderick should hear...My money is either terminal cancer or a slow poisoning. Either way, we don't know what's up before- Surprise! Prospero, aka Perrie shows up.
We see him pour Glenfiddich '96 and I find out he and I are the same age...He pitches a nightclub to Roderick and Madeline who magically shows up and Juno flicks off to Godzilla-knows-where. Apparently he had a full year to come up with a proposal for his first business venture and his idea for a super exclusive nightclub gets shut down mercilessly because the Ushers are about "changing the fucking world." Perrie walks away with his tail between his legs and Madeline checks in with Roderick before heading off to the dining room. She claims when the paperwork is passed out, she'll be able to tell. Apparently she can always tell when someone is...lying? We shall see.
Briefly, we see Carla Gugino put down a drink and say "For the road" which clearly freaks Roderick out because how did this strange woman show up in his mansion's bar?
Cut to dinner, Morrie presents a textbook and Starbucks and we have an Is It Cake momen to light applause from everyone. I can't quite tell if he's being sarcastic about him marrying Morrie, but Freddie moves on to suck up to Roerick by complimenting Juno.
Madeline passes out a new and improved NDA (thank you Pym for your tireless work, I hope you are paid handsomely for this) including details about forfeiture of inheritance, etc regarding being the informant and the consequences that ensue. Victorine's partner Alessandra tries to not sign it until her own lawyer looks it over but one look from the family makes her change her mind.
The siblings bicker before Madeline shuts it down, explains the importance of Fortunato and threatens the informant with certain death. I know it is meant to be serious but I admit I had a little giggle. Then Roderick says "Fifty million dollars." The twins have placed a bounty on the unknown informant's head, effectively pitting the family against each other.
In the present, Roderick laments that this was the last time he saw all of them together, and the last time he saw some of them alive. He claims responsibility for the deaths of all of his children. Even though Dupin claims that these bizarre deaths are all verified to not be linked, Roderick doubles down, and then finally brings up "a woman." Now things are getting juicy. Carla Gugino appears in a variety of lighting and with different hair, so that suggests we'll see here several times throughout the show.
We cut now to New Year's Eve, 1979 heading into 1980. The twins are dressed as Gatbsy and Daisy, I gag a little at the incestual implications even though I knew they were coming, and sit back and watch how the twins first meet the woman, now known as Verna. Apparently they enter a bar hoping for enough people to be around to provide them with an alibi. Whatever they came from at Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, they need witnesses. We see again that Madeline is the mastermind behind every plan. A conversation about resolutions with Verna ensues.
We pan to the present. Dupin talks about some other event that happens that night. Verna predicts their lives will take a complete change of course on that night. Roderick again tells Dupin that every piece of this story is important. We flash back to the funeral. Roderick sees the faceless woman in the back, but then the next time he looks back, he sees the mangled corpses of his six children. When he exits the church, he sees a creepy court jester, like a malevolent joker from the playing card, briefly waiting for him in the car. He starts, notices his nose is bleeding, and then suddenly falls backward. Madeline and Pym rush to him, but arthur stares ahead to *gasp* a raven, and he says "It's time. It's time. It's time." How mysterious.
The episode ends and I finally look ahead to all the episode names like I should have done before. Each episode is based off of a different Poe story, and probably relates to the cause of death for each character. I haven't read some of them, but I feel like I will before I start each next episode. Or I will let myself be surprised. We shall see. Anyhow, I have spent all morning typing this. If you've read this far, I salute you. I'm tired, but also satisfied.

Jason Todd x Fem!Reader from our reality!
Warnings: just cursing (you're a crazy bitch)
Part 1 of 5.
Welcome to my new serie of JT =)
Sorry for grammar mistakes. Enjoy!
Sounds like a complicated story but it all started when you hit your pinky on the edge of the table, yes, completely ridiculous and painful.
"Fucking motherfucker" you curse as you limp towards your bed, sitting up and holding your foot to try to ease the pain. "I swear this is all fucking Jason Todd's fault, I had to stay up late reading the goddamn comic book..." you mutter.
What happens is that you woke up at 3 am not knowing where you were and, in fact, that's why you ended up tripping over your desk.
"If I could, I would punch him just for hurting my foot" you sigh, but widen your eyes as you look at the table, seeing a red light appear in the middle of your room. Oh shit, my parents are going to kill me - her thoughts.
Now what would a smart person do? It would walk away from the spot glowing blood red, right? Right. Then explain to me why you went TO TOUCH the suspicious light!
As soon as your body has made contact with red, you feel a sudden dizziness and try to hold on to your desk, but it's not there anymore (?). Her face fills with panic as everything goes white in her vision and suddenly, she's thrown full force to the ground.
"Oh fuck!" you scream in frustration when you realize you're in the middle of a street and to top it all off, you feel the water falling on your body to show that it's raining. You could cry right there, what a hell of a day!
"Do you kiss your mother with that mouth, Princess?" A male silhouette and well, hell, tall as fuck comes into her line of vision.
"If you're going to rob me, do it soon, seriously, where is downtown LA?" His short answer made the guard laugh and finally show himself, with the recognition you gasp his name "Jason?".
"How the hell?" He snarls in your direction, pointing a gun, but you're too busy looking at your favorite character alive in front of you to worry about him pointing a gun at your forehead.

"You're coming with me, princess." He mutters as he gass you out in his shoulders, loading your body onto the motorcycle, heading towards the mansion.

"Thanks Richard. Now why am I tied up like I'm the Joker? Come on! I can't even walk a mile without falling over by myself!" You recognize the place where you are and almost pass out, shouting afterwards - "IS THAT THE BATCAVE?"
"Oh boy, we are going to have a big job with this one." Words from an tired Jason.
