Rating cute and spooky

Concept gothic home (possibly in the same universe as baby bat or you can see it as its own thing up to you)

"Cheers" I nodded to the taxi driver to have At Last drop me at my front door. I gave him a wave as he scurried off down the road and I took a sigh as I looked up at our beautiful little stone house. I was thrilled to be home having been gone half way across the world for the last nine months. I had barely really seen the house as we bought it only a month before I left so I had left it in the capable hands of my little princess. I wasn't worried we had agreed on most things months before we bought the place anyway. I headed to the sweet wooden door about to knock but I noticed a little cast iron door knocker against the wood so I gave it a few solid taps waiting for a moment before the door opened to a sweet and beautiful sight.

She stood in the doorway in her little bat slippers, thigh high black socks with little cat heads at the top, a little white and black plaid pleated skirt, a long sleeve black and white striped shirt with a little black faux… latex faux leather not sure what it was little best top with various little straps. Her hair clearly damp put in two pigtail braids with little more makeup on her face then some highlighter and her beautiful black lipstick. 

"Tommy!" She smiled jumping into my arms

"Uuuummmm I missed you princess!" I smiled hugging her tightly, feeling so happy to have her in my arms again. I immediately inhaled her sweet lavender and lemongrass smell even if I could smell a little bit of that chemical hair dye smell and it was just then I noticed "you dyed your hair?"

"How could you tell?" She giggled

"I can smell it. And also… it wasn't blue last time I saw you"

"Yeah I did it yesterday" she smiled taking my bag and leading me inside 

"I thought you said you dyed it red? Just after I left?"

"I did"

"And?"

"You've been gone nine months Thomas I got bored of having red hair"

"You couldn't wait till I got home? Atleast to let me see it?"

"Nope" she giggled taking my bag to go start a load of laundry 

"Fine" I rolled my eyes before having a look around the house …

I don't know what I expected, the furniture was all thrifted or picked up cheap, most of it antiques to an extent all of which she had lovingly repaired and cared for all of them a dark wood clearly freshly polished. The hallway mostly just had the stairs and it's detailed banister, the horizontal black and white striped wallpaper, dark wood flooring, a little wooden unit for coats and shoes by the door, a little ouija board doormat which I quickly got off of. Even the key hook was shaped like a bat. I continued on seeing the living room the TV packed away into a unit hidden away completely the blinds drawn on the windows with the curtains open this side of them, the walls a deep purple, the beautiful dinning table up the counter with a vase shaped like a ghost in the center filled with beautiful flowers, the table set with the bleeding candles, purple placemats to match the walls on the table and even coaters on the wooden coffee table all to match the walls and curtains, a large black shaggy rug under the coffee table, the large gothic mirror above the log burner and our display cabinet pride of place with all our fancy glassware and such. My guitars hung up perfectly on the wall almost as if they had been designed to be displayed. And the large leather sofa tucked against the wall with all her little cushions, one shaped like a bat, them a ghost, then a skull, then a couple larger ones that had tarot cards and the two small cushions either side each with a star sign of course mine on my side of the sofa and her own on hers admittedly it was really nice and cosy. It likely sounds strange I Basically gave my baby bat free reign to decorate our house but it makes her happy. She works from home and I'm off out of the house working for months on end so I'd rather the house make her happy I don't care she could have painted it neon green for all I care. I followed her to the kitchen where she was unpacking my bag making up some loads of laundry basically sorting by colour which may as well be sorting by my colors and… black. The technical machines like the TV had a door to hide them away from our perfect little dark blue Victoria kitchen with wooden counter tops little windows for our cupboards and our beautiful vintage oven and fridge, even a farmhouse sink. With all the retro styled items you could ask for all of which in dark colours to fit the asthenic. I had input in this room the only room I did and I'm thrilled I did it becoming a beautiful mix of us both my retro and vintage classic and her… well goth. alot of her spooky style snuck in with black plates, coffin cutting boards and a bat wine opener. I went over and started a coffee for myself before wrapping my arms around her leaning my head on her shoulder

"I missed you"

"I missed you too" she giggled "do you like the house?"

"It's beautiful princess" 

"Ugghhh"

"What?"

"Don't call me that"

"Why not? I like calling you my princess"

"Why would I ever want to be a princess? Their boring and glittery" 

"Well you're my Gothic little princess. Ummmmm my princess of darkness" 

"Really?"

"Of course"

"So you your not mad at me making us live like the Adams family?'

"If we can be as happy as Gomez and morticia after getting married and having two kids I'll be thrilled"

"Three kids they have a baby in the sequel"

"Do they?"

"Yeah? The little baby?"

"Oh yeah. But no I don't care princess if your happy then I'm happy" 

"Good" she smiled turning to nuzzle with my shirt "you haven't seen your study yet"

"I am very excited too. But hows about we go out for dinner tonight? Celebrate bring home?"

"That sounds lovely Tommy, can I be spooky?'

"Your always allowed to be spooky I love when we dress up, even if you always seem to make me look underdressed" I told her "I love when you wear your beautiful outfits"

"Ummm I love you"

"I love you more. Come on then my little princess of darkness let's get this laundry on and decided where we're going" I told her giving her sweet lips a kiss before helping her with the laundry

@bloominghands​ sent: ❛say you want me, and i’m yours.❜

subtle smut prompts -> [meme]

The archaeologist's presence had come as a surprise to Rayleigh, the woman arriving on Sabaody a couple weeks before the crew’s expected reunion date. It was not a problem. In fact she was more than welcomed and he was glad to be in her company. Her charming, alluring company.

Rayleigh withheld his usual flirtations at first on the basis that she was a Strawhat, but that restraint had been waning the more she would give him those looks. He had written her subtle advances off in the beginning, unsure if it was simply his wishful thinking or a trick of the eyes. Surely such a woman wouldn’t...? Yet his certainty grew along with her boldness, all culminating in her now brushing her fingers through his long locks and murmuring those words of temptation in his ear.

The blood rush was immediate, his shift in expression and tone making his arousal obvious. He shifted on the couch, moving to rest a hand on her plush thigh. Deft fingers slid up until they brushed against her apex as he murmured, “Are you certain on this, Robin?” Oh, he wouldn’t deny her. He’d never deny her. Offering to give herself-- it brought something out of him he wasn’t aware he had forced into dormancy.

His digits swirled in tantalizing circles across the flesh of her inner thigh, his gaze heavy as he took in her beautiful features. The dim moonlight that bathed the otherwise empty Rip-Off bar shone across her golden eyes, and he couldn’t help but feel she was feline in nature.

He leaned in, lips placing a kiss to the skin right below her ear as he continued in a low whisper, “Do you want this?”

ladrien fic recs!

there are SO MANY amazing ladrien fics i cant possibly cover them all but here are a few!

(all the ratings used are ao3 ratings)

((this is a very long post!))

FLUFF

Of Ivy and Sunlight by cyanise [ T, 1509 words, 1/1 ]

When Adrien takes to wandering the streets of Paris in ungodly hours, Ladybug has no choice but to keep an eye on him. Still, things are bound to get a little out of hand between two overloaded teenagers with a lot of love and not enough self-control. 

a lovely post-chat blanc fic :’) it has a great flow and is just soft and so sweet and it’s just perfect. gosh i cannot really say more other than read it!!! also almost all of their other stuff is also ladrien so do check it out!

This can't be happening by PlaPla [ T,  6,467 words, 1/2 ]

Ladybug is unsure whether accompanying Adrien to a gala as his not-date is the best or worst thing that has ever happened to her. But when their table mates turn out to be none other than her long time friends Alya and Nino and with Adrien acting weirder and weirder she finds herself with bigger worries than an unrequited crush.

a djwifi/ladrien double date? hit me up! i love identity shenanigans, ball dancing, ladrien, and djwifi and this is a perfect mix for me. i know it’s incomplete but it doesn’t end in a cliff-hanger really, the part 2 is just a promise of more so it doesn’t feel incomplete! PlaPla also has a short oneshot of ladrien going for a motorcycle ride.

Falling again by emsylcatac [ M,  4,506 words, 2 Works ]

They had been dancing around each other for a while now, and while fifteen year old Adrien would have been ecstatic at the idea of dating Ladybug in secret, twenty-two year old Adrien knew better. But Ladybug wasn’t making it easy. It was like… she, too, was falling for him. And that surprisingly enough, she didn’t mind.

* * *

Or Adrien trying (and failing) to keep things professional between him and Ladybug when the two of them partner up for a mission. Older AU

things are a little steamy~ here (don’t worry, it’s only implied it’s very mild and closer to a T rating than the M) but it’s a great mature take on their dynamics! emsy has more ladrien one-shots in her collection of one-shots!

i'd love to go on a date with you by sae_what  [ G,  6,480 words, 1/1 ]

Once it had been falsely announced throughout Paris that Adrien and Ladybug are in a relationship, Ladybug pays him a visit to turn him down gently.

Only, she doesn’t. And instead, she has a formal dinner date. With Adrien. At 8 pm. Tonight.

LADYBUG IN A SUIT!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaa. okay but for real it’s so sweet and also??? they are on a date!!! a rooftop date!! (too man exclamation marks oops)

Always Welcome by  chatonne-rousse [ T, 1,683 words, 1/1 ]

Ladybug knows that Adrien's window is always open for her to swing by and stop in, whether for video games or a chat or, like tonight, for soft kisses and sweet nothings.

He loves these visits. His girlfriend is always welcome. Always. (Especially for kisses.)

Written for Ladrien June, day 8: bluebell eyes.

established relationship, pre-reveal ladrien. there is something very home-y about this fic and it’s all about the comfort and quiet that i adore about it!

Five Times Gabriel Agreste Caught Ladybug in His Son’s Bedroom (and the One Time He Caught Chat Noir) by agrestenoir [ T,  1,923 words, 1/1]

Gabriel Agreste keeps finding Ladybug in his son's bedroom. As a super villain and father, this will not stand.

this crack fic is... honestly so hilarious. it’s all through gabrie-i-am-trying-to-parent-and-failing-a-lot-agreste’s POV so it is so much ridiculous! 

an uncurtain discovery by  Missnoodles [ T, 4,684 words, 1/1 ]

When he returns from school on Wednesday afternoon, Adrien discovers the darkness in his own home. He struggles to come to terms with it. To his utter mortification and delight, Ladybug is nearby to rescue him.

(He does not discover that his father is supervillain. That will happen on a different Wednesday.)

Adrien is being a cat and gets tangled in the curtains on his window and it’s utterly ridiculous. all the bug and the cat tendencies make it funnier and adrien’s inner monologue is just a cherry on top!

secret valentine by a_miiraculer [ T,  12,245 words, 1/1 ]

this is the moment that we will come alive brace yourself for love sweet love, secret love

If Adrien had known that getting himself stuck in a tree would end like this, he would've gotten himself stuck sooner.

A drabble series.

i just,,,, don’t have words for how much i love it! it’s ridiculous, it’s cute, it’s funny, it’s whole-some and just ladrien. the writer also has a M rated multi-chapter ladrien kissing (no the M is very much real here) and a heroic adrien and ladybug one-shot too! 

Those Benevolent Stars by peachcitt [ G,  23,696 words, 3/3 ]

“Will you come back?”

She looked up at the deep blue sky, as if she could somehow find the answer there. “I shouldn’t,” she said, shaking her head and looking back at him. But the stars were still there, caught in her eyes, and Adrien persisted.

“But will you?”

or

adrien meets his soulmate, a thief who calls herself ladybug. he falls for her, but she seems determined to maintain a space between them.

oh my god this au.... just no words!! it’s poetry and it’s tender and it’s about the yearning and just!!! perfect :’). Her current ongoing ladrien june fic is also akin to this (and the fic i linked before it) so do check it out too! (literally check out all of their works it’s so beautiful)

Flowers on the Window Sill by LNC [ G,  2,144 words, 1/1 ]

The first time Ladybug saw him, really saw him, the universe stopped.

this fic feels like poetry and it’s so lovely. LNC is always short and direct but it always hits right in the feels while also being hilarious. Her  other ladrien works are just as good and i highly recommend going through them because it fulfills all of the ladrien needs (along with Reiaji)

whatever a sun will always sing is you by komorebirei [ T,  32,980 words, 37/37 ]

“I didn't think you'd actually... do anything," Adrien admitted, cheeks prickling with warmth. "I-I mean, I never expected... I didn't know you watched my interviews.” That definitely wasn’t how he'd imagined confessing to Ladybug.

“Of course I do!” Ladybug squeaked. “Uhh, that is…” She looked down at her hands, nervously turning her yo-yo over, over and over. “Maybe you’re not the only one with a crush.”

(After an unexpected confession, Ladybug and Adrien start dating in secret. A progressive character- and relationship-study quilted from drabbles, with the intention of digging treasure out of the cove that is Ladrien. Written using kashimalin-fanfiction's kiss writing prompts from Tumblr.)

it does such an excellent job at exploring this dynamic along with the characters. it’s such a sweet fic, each chapter short and fun!

ANGST

whose woods these are (I think I know.) by  Reiaji [ T,  105,000 words, 25/25 ]

Four years after his future turns to cinders, Adrien is a servant in the house he was meant to inherit. Disowned by his father and abused by his stepmother, his days are filled with drudgery until he meets a masked huntress in the forest behind his father's chateau.

As his friendship with Ladybug turns to first love, he dreams of a future spent at her side.

Then, on the eve of the Princess's masquerade, he meets his guardian—and is granted a wish.

[Ladrien Cinderella AU]

Warnings: Child abuse, Graphic depiction of violence

this is absolutely gorgeous. it has so many troupes and so many amazing character arc and great build up and everything just flows so well. it left me in awe for weeks and i just. want to experience reading it for the first time again. look at this gorgeous art inspired by this! {and you have to read  leonard bernstein too because LETTERS and LADRIEN and YEARNING}

i would do it again (oh, a thousand times) by bugabisous [ T, 2,266 words, 1/1 ]

Knowing you can bring someone back doesn’t mean you’re free of the pain of seeing them disappear before your eyes. He can’t imagine he’ll be able to look at her directly without replaying every horrifying moment when he felt her slip away in a puff of smoke.

When it happens once again, he already knows he’ll be trying again. He just can’t give up.

it expands on adrien’s feelings in the episode desperada (my beloved <3) and it is just ouch. such great angst, such great potential. the kind of tragedy that it offers is unusual for ml (it gets only rivaled by chat blanc tbh). to rival this angst bugabisous also has a fluffy one-shot :)

when the world gets too heavy (put it on my back) by Taliax [ T, 4,720 words, 1/1 ]

Chat Noir isn't allowed to cry over his father. But even when he's just Adrien, Ladybug won't abandon him.

Hawkmoth reveal hurt/comfort + Ladrien

the plagg and adrien bond written is just perfect, and oh this hits right in the feels :’) it hurts all in the right way. tali also has so many other ladrien works in all genres too

By Your Side by omniousunflower [ T, 4,361 words, 1/1 ]

(Angry and alone, Adrien waits on top of the Eiffel Tower for his lady.)

“So, how did my kitty get stranded up here?” Ladybug asks.

Groaning, Adrien pulls his knees toward his chest and presses his face against them. “Because he’s stupid and impulsive.”

“Chasing pigeons, then?”

“No.” Shame burns in Adrien’s veins, white-hot now that Ladybug is here to witness his stupidity. “I threw my Miraculous, and Plagg wouldn’t get it for me.”

post-hawkmoth defeat, and adrien is not doing well at all. i am cheating because it is post reveal, pre relationship but it’s still ladrien. this fic is a roller coater of emotions, starting from a slightly crack scenario to a cute, awkward, hopeful ending.  More Than You Know is another of sunny’s angsty ladrien work!

Breaking The Rules (AKA The Ladrien Fistfight) by ThisKwamiNeeds_aNap [ T, 8,714 words, 1/1 ]

Marinette may or may not be dying, but she’s still going to do her best to fix every single problem in the world. She’s not expecting Adrien to be the one who tries to stop her. (Takes place immediately after Kwami Buster)

Warnings: panic attack, broken bones, PTSD. please read the tags!

*slaps this fic* this fic can fit in so much angst. it just?? left me in PAIN oof. it says ‘ladrien fistfight’ on the lid but nooo there is marinette is just having a freak out and it’s all so much??!! and it’s not just marinette there is adrien too and chloe and alya and- wow it’s amazing. love it so much it fills up my angst needs :’)

so that’s it for now! my personal commentary isn’t impressive nor does it do justice to the fic but i still hope you read a few of these!! happy reading!!

[secret-rendezvous1d]

Just a little angsty thought about MGG or Spencer having a thing for the reader but she doesn’t know it? And she’s sort of seeing this guy but it falls through and she’s devistated but he’s there and kind of confesses his feelings? Oof I’d eat it UP

Okay, damn... lovesick Spencer has me weak-

He hated it.

Before YN came into his life, starting off as a technical intern for Garcia before working her way up to being a much loved member of the team, he never ever considered there to be an opportunity to pine after a girl. As someone who liked his own space and had his own routine and feared over germs and dirt and had been found to wash his hands after every greeting, he never imagined himself to thrive and fantasise over the thought of a relationship and being so loved-up and intimate with someone in a situation that threw him out of his comfort zone. Yet, YN seemed to change his perspective.

Love was something he craved and he never thought he’d tell himself that. The idea of waking up in the morning beside the girl he adored made his heart swell, the idea of getting to spoil the girl he loved made him quiver, knowing he got to kiss and cuddle and hold the girl he was enamoured over made him fall deeper and deeper into the hole of romance. 

Love was something he wanted to have but her love was something he craved. 

Just knowing that he could spend the rest of his life with someone who he had  captured his heart, right from the start, was warming to him and he only wished he had that attitude before it was too late... because it really was too late when she brought her date into work, one Monday morning, to show him the ropes of the job she felt proud of be a part of, of the job she felt privileged by and the job she got to do on a daily basis. 

Being fake and feigning happiness was never Spencer’s strong suit but he had to put on a brave face for YN and at least try to be happy because she was; it wasn’t her fault that he was too cowardly to ask her on a date, to ask her to be his girlfriend, to grow up a little bit more and become a partner she felt proud to have. Watching a tall, six-foot man hold the hand of the woman he longed to hold the hand of as she showed him around the office made him green in the face... watching the brunette bloke kiss the woman he dreamed of kissing goodbye made his stomach churn... watching the muscles hold her tight when all he wanted to do was hold her all day made him yearn to say something... it was hard to ignore and he felt guilty for wishing destruction upon the two of them when all he longed for was to see her smile and laugh.

And, in Spencer’s vocabulary, hate was a strong word.

But he really hated seeing how happy she was with another man when he could have made her even happier. 

*

Not once did he think he was the one to console her.

She had Garcia down the road from her apartment, she had JJ to help her with her problems and Emily knew how to make someone feel special again. Of all of her friends outside of work and the girlfriends she had from school, she had so many comforting places to stay and so many people that would take her in and hold her until she was ready to be on her own again. So, he never assumed he was the top of her list when it came to a shoulder to cry on and spout off her problems because she needed someone to listen to her. 

“I thought he was the one, you know?”

After months of seeing her happy and loved up with bloke he felt jealous over, Spencer hated seeing her sad as much as he had hated seeing her happy. He wouldn’t have made her feel like that, he wouldn’t have let her walk out of his life with the click of a finger, he wouldn’t have said vulgar things to her to belittle her and he wouldn’t have treated her as poorly as she was treated because she was someone who deserved so much more than that.

“He said he loved me then he ghosted me, Spencer. Who does that?”

Spencer shrugs and he watches her cautiously as she takes a sip of her coffee and sets the mug back on a coater on his coffee table, both sets of eyes set on the steam that filtered from the rim and evaporated into the air, the deep smell of caffeine making his home smell warm and homely. 

“I gave him everything, I showed him my favourite places and took him to my favourite restaurants, I let him stay at my house because he was having trouble with his flat,” she lets out a shaky breath and looks over in Spencer’s direction with an expression that broke his heart and released anger through his body that should never have been aimed at YN, “I don’t know what I did wrong but why did he do that? Who does that? Seriously, what bloke does that?”

“An asshole,” he states, and the disgust and upset and the anger he felt was in his voice as clear as day, “that’s who does that, YN. A pretentious asshole who thinks he can wiggle a woman round his finger and do anything he wanted to her because he knows she won’t leave him.”

YN’s eyebrows furrow and the ache in her heart hurt more than before; why was he blaming her for being a victim to heartache? Where did this anger come from? For thinking she found the right guy? For going through a tough time? It confused her and, as much as she wanted to ask and have a conversation that probably needed to be had by people with clear minds, she hated how he was speaking to her.

“Spencer-”

“YN-”

“No,” she hisses to shush him from speaking further, her eyes stinging as she stared at him with a longing gaze. A streak of tears running down both cheeks, her nose damp beneath her nostrils, her lips pink and her bottom lip bitten raw, her fingers picking at the skin around her thumbnails, “you don’t get to blame me, Spencer. You don’t know anything about relationships. You’ve never had the chance to experience one. You’ve never have had. You don’t get to tell me it’s my own fault for what happened when he made me believe he wanted me.”

“I’m not-”

She scoffs heavily and shakes her head at him. 

“You did! Spencer, you called me naive and you basically called me needy and hinted that I fall for any bloke who smiles at me,” she shakes her head and her eyes bore holes into the top of his head, his own eyes staring at the floor beside his socked feet, “I thought you could have made me feel better, make me smile like you used to-”

“I could have treated you better.”

The heaviness in his voice, the finger pointing adamantly into his chest and the way his head snapped back up to look at her caught her in her place. His face was stern, his lips set in a tense line and his jaw looked rigid and his knuckles were white as he released the tight grip he had upon his trousers.

“You spent months with him when you could have had me. You were treated so poorly and you weren’t loved and you were touched by someone who didn’t deserve to touch you and he never deserved your love. You could have had me all along. I could have loved you like you deserved, kissed you like you wanted to be kissed, held you so tightly,” he gulps thickly and stands to his feet, “and you can still have that. With me.”

She shakes her head and runs her fingers through her hair.

“I can’t-”

“You can,” he whispers, taking a step towards her only for her to turn her back to him, letting her feet take her to the front door of his apartment. Her bag hung heavy on her shoulder, her shoes weren’t even tied properly and the doorknob felt cold and uninviting as she opened the door to let herself out, “YN-”

“Spencer, I can’t.” xx

The Perfect Mind Game Shuichi played at the Beika Mall - Who left the Coaster?

It was Shuichi who left the coaster as Subaru for Jodie

Chapter- 699-704

Everything what happened there and why Shuichi was the one who left the coater makes sense logically. Let's have a look step by step, how it actually worked-

A Mind Game

How Jodie would have percived and reacted towards the message-

As soon as Jodie got the message, she thought about Shuichi. In the message, a particular word which only Shuichi uses in the whole DC universe was used-"area". So logically she would have thought and would have followed about Scar Akai.

Imo Gosho uses english words and phrases to show that he is a foreigner and to depict his identity through which we can know it's him. Ex- 50-50 was used in scarlet return, so that Jodie will know that Subaru is Shuichi and so on. After this chapter, in bell tree express, Subaru uses the same word infront of Haibara.

Another small observation was the coaster was folded at the left side. This implied that the person who folded the coaster was lefty. He wrote the message and, flipped it and put it under the glass. You know Gosho ia detail oriented afterall ;)

Now Subaru left the message while Jodie was away from her table because she was answering James. Co-incidence? No. Imo it was Shuichi who informed James and asked him to call her back.

Now why Shuichi left the message when James already asked her to come back? Don't think that she would have left that easily. It wasn't only for personal reasons but also for professional reasons which is absolutely valid. Professionally, to figure out another a deceased colleague is already a good reason to stay back there. So Shuichi left a warning message to her so that she'll leave as soon as possible.

The plan would have backfired ONLY when Jodie would have INTERACTED with scar Akai. But Shuichi made sure that shouldn't happen. He did that at the same time while saving Jodie's life. And she lost him!

How scar Akai would have reacted to Jodie?

When Jodie was calling him out, Scar Akai would have thought that she is only spotted her colleague who seemed to have personal connections with him. So when she shouted, that wouldn't have intervened in his deduction.

Bourbon ( Scar Akai) would have tried his best not to get caught by any FBI agents, especially the ones he was already spotted by, or else they would have taken him with them. All he needed was reaction, nothing more. Jodie was already suspicious that how come no one remember a man having scar in the mall. So we are talking about Bourbon, he won't commit this silly mistake.

When Scar Akai went outside of the mall, he looked directly towards Chianti. That means he knew before that they thought his as Akai Shuichi and we're there kill him. So Jodie's reaction was logical according to the situation.

Speculation- I don't think he would have checked on a particular person for twice. Even if we think logically Gosho won't do that twice when in the Detective boys vs bank robbers, Jodie gave the reaction which was enough to know the truth. Imo, Bourbon would have observed while investigation that Jodie usually is seen with Camel and James so he targeted them as well.

The situation was played smoothly by Shuichi. Basically he took advantage of the situation to save his colleagues by manipulating everyone, got information about Scar Akai and his identity was secured. Hats off to that guy! Basically hats off to Gosho!

B’s day at Sabaody

This was my gift for @ask-wbp-b​ for the Valentines gift exchange, posted with her permission 💖

B stretched as she woke up, only stopping after hearing that satisfying crack coming from her shoulders. She sat up and looked fondly at her right thigh, admiring the tattoo she had gotten only a few days ago. She took the cream Marco had given her from her nightstand and spread some of it over the tattoo. It itched like hell, but she knew better than to scratch at it. Slapping the tattoo lightly a few times after she had finished applying the cream, B was satisfied with the result and got up from her bed. She got dressed, put on her glasses and tied up her hair before leaving her cabin for breakfast.

At the breakfast table she was greeted by Ace, Marco and Thatch. Ace excitedly signalled for B to come sit with them. She nodded and sat down with them, wondering if the kid was just a bit more energetic than usual this morning, or if that was her imagination.

“Morning B!” Ace greeted with his mouth full. “Morning all.” B said as she made brief eye contact with the other two men at the table as well. They both wished her a good morning as well, though not nearly as loudly as Ace. “What’s got you so excited, Ace?” she asked. “We’re docking at Sabaody today, right?! There’s so much fun stuff to do there! Haruta told me that-“ “Yes, Ace. We’re docking at Sabaody, but we’re also gonna have to say for a few days until they finish coating the ship, so you’d better not get in trouble.” Marco interrupted, a somewhat disapproving expression visible on his face. “Don’t worry Marco, I won’t get in trouble!” “That’s what you say every time, Ace! There’s going to be Celestial Dragons there! And lots of marines! This is serious!” Marco exclaimed, followed by a sigh. He rubbed his temples, already feeling the headache that was bound to come somewhere today. Thatch and B laughed at the sight. Breakfast was accompanied by a combination of Ace recounting all the fun stuff Haruta told him he could do at Sabaody, and Marco and Thatch trying to warn Ace to not get into trouble. B was a little worried about the situation, knowing that Celestial Dragons walked around here frequently, but she wasn’t too worried. Nothing major would happen here, otherwise she’d know of it. The real danger was still many years away. Ace only just joined them, and Thatch hadn’t found any devil fruit yet.

“B? Hey B? Earth to B!” “Huh? What?” She looked over to Marco, who was smiling at her. “Welcome back, B. I asked how your tattoo was healing.” “Oh, it’s coming along great!” “Have you been using that cream I gave you?” “I have, used it this morning just after waking up.” “Are there scabs on there yet?” “Yes, they’ve started forming on the lines.” “Don’t scratch them, you-“ “Fushichou chan! I know, you’ve given me the rundown of tattoo care three times already, it’s fine! I’m covering it from the sun, I’m using the cream regularly, I’m not scratching at it. I’m not gonna go against your advice, I want it to heal nicely.” “You’re right, sorry. Force of habit.” “That’s alright, but next time no doctoring at the table.” “Are they seriously flirting at breakfast already?” Ace silently asked Thatch. “Shhhh they’re ‘just friends’” Thatch laughed. “What are you two whispering about?” Marco asked, squinting his eyes. “Ace just asked me about the food on Sabaody!” Thatch quickly covered. He sounded pretty convincing as well.

Marco didn’t really buy it, but he dropped the topic there, preferring to keep the rest of breakfast as peaceful as possible.

After breakfast, everyone got to their chores. Most people were cleaning up, as was traditional before going to fishman island. Once under water most people would be staring at the ocean and all life in it, since it was a rare opportunity, meaning they would not be paying any attention to their chores. There were always people on watch on all sides, mostly commanders, to make sure no sea monsters would attack the bubble.

Once she finished up cleaning the things she was assigned to, B packed a small bag with things she’d need the coming days. Nobody was allowed on the ship as it was getting coated. With how big the crew was, everyone would just be in the way of the coaters and slow down the process. There was also the risk of people accidently messing up the coating or distracting the coater. After double-checking if she had all the essentials, B left her cabin and headed towards the gangplank.

Several people were already leaving the ship. B arrived just in time to see Ace run away from the ship, Marco following closely behind. The sight made her smile. Things had changed ever since Ace had joined them, and even though she knew full well what the future held for him, seeing the young man never failed to brighten her mood.

B paid close attention to her surroundings as she walked around on Sabaody, dead set on avoiding any Celestial Dragons, marines, or any other people who could disturb the peace of the coming few days. Everyone from the Whitebeard pirates tried to lay low during the days the ship got coated, especially those with high bounties. Once the marines knew they were there, protecting the ship until the coating was done would be a real mess.

This didn’t stop her from having some fun though. There were a ton of good food stalls scattered all over the island. There was also the amusement park, which B always loved to visit. She had mentioned her love for it, especially the Ferris wheel, to Marco a few days ago, and he had suggested going for a ride together. B had been looking forward to it, but she didn’t expect for it to happen today anymore with Marco babysitting Ace. There was no rush though. They would be here for a few days, and nothing was stopping B from going for a ride on her own.

For now though, she settled on stretching her legs and getting used to the feeling of land under her feet again, even if it wasn’t actually land but tree roots. As she was walking, she picked her brain on her knowledge about this archipelago. She knew that in the future for sure, someone would be living on one of the groves, someone she hadn’t seen in a long time. But would he be living here already now? No matter how much she picked her memory, she couldn’t remember. Her feet, however, had already made up their mind and were headed towards Grove 13.

Soon enough, she found herself in front of familiar building. It seemed to be in a slightly better shape than B remembered. She somehow found herself being nervous as she walked up to the bar. There was no guarantee Rayleigh would even be there. It would be nice to catch up with him for sure, but explaining the situation to Shakky if he wasn’t there would be awkward. Before she could even make up her mind, the door to the bar opened and a figure left the building. A very familiar figure.

Rayleigh.

B felt her cheeks heat up immediately. He still looked as good as she remembered. As Rayleigh approached her, a smile appeared on his face.

“B, is that you? It’s been so long! How have you been?” “I’ve been good, thanks. How have you been?” B asked, trying to sound as casual as possible. “I’m great, Sabaody is a great place to stay. There’s good things, there’s enough places to gamble, there’s a lot of interesting people coming through…” “Sounds like you’re having a great time.” “I am. You’re welcome to join me, you know.” “Thanks, but no thanks. You know my place is with the Whitebeard pirates.” “So you’ve told me before, too bad.”

The two of them chatted a little while longer as B tried her very best to not turn into a flustered mess. Rayleigh noticed but didn’t mention it. B was the same as always, though she had learned to control her emotions a little better over the years.

“Say, B, how about we go for a drink together? For old times sake?” Rayleigh asked with a grin. Before B could even answer, a familiar voice called out to her from behind her. As she turned around, she noticed Marco approaching her. “There you are B! Have you seen Ace?” Marco asked. He looked over to see Rayleigh standing next to you, and nodded at him as a greeting. “I haven’t. Did you lose him?” B asked. “Kind of. That boy is as slippery as a snail. Thatch is also looking for him, if we leave him to his own devices there will be trouble, I can feel it.” “There probably will be… want me to help you look for him?” “That’d be great.” “Alright.” B nodded at Marco and then turned back to Rayleigh. “I’ve got to go. It was nice to see you again, maybe I’ll see you again in the coming days.” “I sure hope so. Be safe out there, B.” Rayleigh smiled and pulled her into a hug. B happily returned the gesture, maybe a little too happily, “You too. Bye, Rayleigh!”

B walked away from the bar with Marco, back towards the more touristic parts of the archipelago. The walk back was filled in silence, though it was a little different from the usual silence. It was less comfortable than usual.

“Marco, is something wrong?” “No, nothing is wrong. How about we get on the Ferris wheel? We might be able to spot Ace from up there.” “If you want a bird’s view you could fly around?” “Yes, of course, blue phoenixes flying around the archipelago doesn’t draw any attention at all.” “You’re right, let’s go then.”

The two of them walked towards the amusement park and got in line for the Ferris wheel. It took a little while of waiting, but luckily nothing too long. B noticed Marco glancing over at her a few times, but every time she caught him looking, he just smiled and looked away again. Something was definitely off.

Once they got into the gondola they both took one side of the wheel, looking out over the archipelago. It didn’t take long for B to spot Ace. He was being dragged away from the amusement park by Thatch. Ace’s arms were full of different kinds of food, and his cheeks were puffed out as he continued stuffing food into his mouth. The sight made B laugh, and she quickly called Marco over to come see. It was a huge relief to see that Ace was safe. B and Marco sat down next to each other on the bench after that, deciding to enjoy the rest of the ride.

“Hey, B?” “What?” “What were you and Rayleigh talking about?” “Oh you know, just watching up a little. He actually asked me to go grab a drink with him as you arrived. Why?” “No reason, just curious.” “Fushichou chan, are you jealous?” B grinned at the realisation. “Nah, why would I be?” Marco answered casually, and if B didn’t know any better, she would have believed that her guess was wrong. “Aww, that’s cute. No need to be though. Rayleigh asked me to stay on the archipelago but I turned him down.”

Marco let out a sigh of relief. He knew how B got around Rayleigh, and he did feel a little threatened by his presence when it came to B. Knowing she turned him down when he directly asked her that greatly eased his mind. What B didn’t know is that his fear wasn’t just about her leaving the crew again. It was also about losing her to him, even if he hadn’t made his feelings known to her yet.

“That’s a relief.” “Aww, is that why you were acting weird? Were you worried I’d be staying?” “Yes, I sure was. You left our crew once before you know, I wouldn’t want you to do that again.” Marco half lied.

B smiled and turned towards him. She cupped one of his cheeks with her hand, pulling it a little closer to her own face to place a kiss on the other cheek. The gesture surprised Marco, but he couldn’t say he disliked it. Not at all. A smile started spreading on his face as B let go of his face. In a sudden boost of confidence he put his arms around her shoulders and pulled B against him as he leaned back against the bench again.

The rest of the ride was spent in silence one again, however, with this cleared up, all tension was gone. When the gondola started descending, he felt a little disappointed, knowing he’d have to let go and get up soon.

“Hey, B?” “What’s up?” “Let’s go for another gondola ride tomorrow.” “Are you asking me on a date, fushichou chan?” “What if I am?” The words left his mouth with an amount of confidence that surprised even Marco himself. “I’d say yes.”

These are the wire-bound bar coaters, the diameter of the wire varies with the coating required. Coating thickness can be obtained through these bar coaters ranging from 1 micron - 30 microns.

Carry On Countdown - Day Six

Notes: I am trash. I am so sorry. This is a bit of a stretch. But to whomever watches SimplyNailogical on YouTube, you’ll know that she’s a walking Meme. Brilliant, smart and an excellent role model (also, Canadienne, comme moi! ^_^). But a walking meme nonetheless (I think in one of her recent videos, she calls herself a meme). 

Thanks go again to @carryonsimoncarryonbaz for the beta-read! :)

Also, if someone wants to draw Baz wearing holo polish, sipping out of a holo tumbler, I will not be opposed to it. Actually, I think I may love you forever if you do.

Day 6 Prompt: Vine/Meme Reference

Title: Everything’s Better With a Little Bit of HOLO!

________________________________________________________________

BAZ

Simon Snow is not lying on the sofa. 

Instead, he is sitting at the table, completely infatuated with the tiny bottle in his hands. He is slowly spinning it around and directing it towards the window, so that the outside light (however little light there is right now) hits it. I stroll to the table and sit down across from him. He doesn’t seem to notice that I’m even there, too immersed in his bottle of… Is that nail polish?

“Snow… what on earth are you doing? Since when do you like nail polish?” I am frowning at him. I never figured Simon to be the type to like nail polish, but I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing some on him. Startled, Simon clutches the bottle close to his chest, as if trying to hide it from me. 

“It isn’t mine. Agatha sent it to Penny. Said she needed more rainbows in her life.”

I raise an eyebrow, “Rainbows? What did she mean by that?”

“Apparently there are rainbows in here if the light hits it.” Simon continues to fiddle with the bottle of grey, speckled polish, “I haven’t been able to get it to work. All I see are very dull colours. Hardly any rainbows.”

I steal the bottle from Simon’s grasp and give it a look. I inspect it closely, turning it around in my fingers. It does not look like anything particularly spectacular. It looks like a typical silvery nail polish. I am pretty sure Mordelia has a similar one. The polish’s brand name is somewhat more reflective, and I do think the slight rainbows coming off it are pretty. I do not understand the name, however. 

“What on Earth is a Holo Taco? Aren’t tacos supposed to be food? What do they have to do with nail polish?” Simon simply shrugs. He opens the box that the nail polish came in. Inside, there are two more glittery nail polishes, as well as one in black and one in blue. I investigate the black nail polish. A one-coater black polish? Not possible. I’ll have to test it out myself one day. Simon pulls out a note inside. It seems Wellbelove sent instructions as well. 

“Oh. Apparently, these polishes work best under direct light. Like a mobile flash light. It helps the holo come out.” I whip out my mobile phone before Simon has a chance to finish his thought. I turn on the flashlight and point it at the bottle still in my hand. Simon begins to shout.

Because what was once a dull, almost colourless grey glittery polish has completely transformed into a bright, vivid and animated spectrum of colours. It is absolutely stunning. Simon snatches the polish from my hand as well as my mobile. He starts to study the polish, completely awe-struck by the array of rainbows that are coming off the bottle.  

“It’s the rainbows Baz! The rainbows are HOLO!” he cries with enthusiasm. I look at him in wonder. I cannot help but cough out a laugh at him. He is so absurd. But he is clearly ecstatic about this new discovery, so I let him be. I lift myself from my seat and walk over to his side of the table.

“You have lost your mind, Snow.” I whisper as I plant a kiss on his forehead. I cautiously wrap my hands around him, being mindful of his wings. Simon lifts the bottle to me again and spins it around, bright smile ever-widening.

“But, Baz, look at how pretty the rainbows are! I feel so happy looking at them!”

 _______

SIMON

I have a problem. 

It’s been almost a week since my life has been changed by HOLO. I can’t stop looking at holographic images. Nor can I stop flipping the nail polish box opened and closed. The reflective rainbows are just so mesmerizing. The creator of these polishes is correct, everything's better with a little bit of HOLO!

I’ve started watching her videos on YouTube and attempting to follow her instructions on how to care for and paint my own nails. I’m not even ashamed about it. The holo makes me happy and I want to wear it! I’ve even (without even meaning to) started to quote her in everyday scenarios. Crowley help Penny and Baz for having to put up with me yelling at them to bring me tea or asking if every random item was made of REAL HOLO!

I have a laptop opened to a video tutorial on how to properly apply a glittery holographic nail polish (using a makeup sponge helps!) when Baz saunters into the flat. 

A wide smile spreads across my lips as I notice what Baz is holding in his hands. He’s taking a sip from a silver holographic tumbler. That’s not all, he’s got something on his nails. I jump out of my seat and nearly tackle him to the ground in my excitement. I seize one his hands and stare at it. 

Each of his nails is painted perfectly in not only black nail polish, but with a generous coat of flakie holographic top coat. I raise one of my eyebrows at him (I have not yet mastered the Baz Pitch patented eyebrow stare, but I am practicing) and smile cooly at him. 

“Baz. Does this mean you like HOLO?!” Baz offers me a crooked smile, grey eyes twinkling with mischief.

“Wellbelove is right. You really could use some more rainbows around here.” He replies as he takes another sip from his tumbler.
