WIR AU Introduction!!!! "ReinC̴̢̺̹̿̐̊͂̉Ȍ̸̬̘̭̬́̈Ḑ̸̯̫͔̝̋̎̓̏Ẽ̸̠̤̤̰͕̆͐͝D̶̹̜͆̒͜ AU"

(oooo spooky title)

Soooo uhhhh this is an Wreck It Ralph AU of mine that is also a self inserbut uh if u don't like that then uhhhhhh. Sorry.

ANYWAY! I'm bad at explaining things so just bear with me here! *Freddy Faz bear noises 🐻*

Oke oke- Sooo basically this AU is about this Girl "Annabelle" (my self insert teehee) who had gotten trapped in the Sugar Rush game somehow just by messing with the game cabinet while the Arcade was closed (spooky black magic shit ik). But later she finds some weird red glitchy blob by Cola mountain, she messes with it for a bit and then HOLY SHIT IT'S TURBO??? WHAT???!!! NO WAY! But Turbo is in his virtual form (like a ghost form of some kind, idk just keep listening to me yap) instead of his physical form (and oh boy is his physical form way more fucked up than his virtual form). Time goes by and Annabelle is Ruling Sugar Rush (yeah ik that doesn't make sense but just wait till I get to the lore part and as to why oke? oke-). So yeah she has been made to rule a literal sugar kingdom while she also has to be a playable character to NOT look sus to other game characters watching. (ofc this did not work cuz erm- what the sigma??? new girl??? where Vanellope???????)

LORE

OK! now for the lore and as to WHY??? AND HOW???

Sooo, Annabelle had move into town and then found out there was a cool arcade nearby where she was now living. Ofc that being Litwack's Arcade :3. For a little while she had been a daily visitor to the arcade and ofc Sugar Rush was her #1 favorite arcade game and played it EVERY DAY. She would play other games too ofc (Fix It Felix Jr would be her last resort game when all the other games in the arcade were Occupied).

Now as for Annabelle's personality? She is pretty nice and very fun to be around if you like her at first sight. She has a bit of an ego though, It pretty much started developing when she would win all the time in that Sugar Rush game. She had ALWAYS been the #1 person on that sugar rush leader board (I actually don't know if there even is a leader board in the game but NOW IT DOES >:]). Unfortunately that would change when a couple of assholes would come in and mentally put her down saying shit like uhhh "lol, ur so bad", "I could bet you in a race like that" (they're jealous lol). Ofc this gets on Annabelle's nerves and this makes her think she has competition (and she did) AND her way to cope and talk back at them with bs like this was to STROKE HER EGO (oh honey noooo D,:). Ofc this eventually gets to her when she starts fumbling in the game and is starts losing with every chance she gets (yes getting 2sd place means losing to her, sounds familiarrrrrrr ◉_◉). She has been losing her place on the leaderboard and eventually the Assholes find out and then they quite literally take a mental tole on her (ya wanna know what's really funny??? These assholes are literal teenage kids... Annabelle is literally fucking 20 like- HONEY THEY'RE KIDS STOP WORRYING 😭😭😭).

One night Annabelle hits a breaking point and NEEDS to be back on that #1 spot on the leader board BY. ANY. MEANS. NECISSARY.

Phhhfffttt- Oh nonono- she is NOT losing to a couple of kids that have been bulling her for the past couple of days! Hell NO! So what does she do???? Break into the Arcade overnight!!!! WhAt CoUlD pOsSiBlY gO wRoNg??? *screaminggggg and cryinngggg*

So Annabelle breaks in the Arcade, UNFORTUANTELY She had forgotten her quarters back at home. Sooooo she goes back home and doesn't bother✨ JK SHE DECIDES TO BREAK INTO THE GAME CABNET TO STEAL QUARTERS 💀 (mind u that Annabelle is UNAWARE that these game characters are sentient, so even if she did have her change on her and put them in... they would NOT be there) Annabelle rummages around and is suddenly hit with some powerful shock and blacks out (Nice one girl 😒). Annabelle wakes up and HOLY SHIT- WHAT THE FUCK??? SHE'S IN SUGAR RUSH???? WHAT THE HELLLLL?????? (ofc this whole time she thinks she's dreamingggg but the scary reality finally hits her eventually 😁😁😁) Annabelle Finds out about Game Central Station and oh my god it looks to scary for her- nope, She's staying inside Sugar Rush. And heaven forbid if one of them finds out she's human in the game world, they could probably kill her *🥲*. I almost forgot to mention that her physical appearance slowly starts to change the longer she's in the game world. Her skin starts to look paler and slightly grey; her eyes are tinted yellow and her eyerises are turning a darker shade of blue. And this is due to the exposure to the atmosphere of the game world. So it looks like she's dying but she's not. :,]

Anyway about this Red g̵̋͜l̸̯̾i̶̱̍t̶̩͒c̴̪̀h̸͖́ÿ̶̦ blob she found beside Cola Mountain~

After a while of her walking around and Exploring Sugar Rush (and to find a safe place to stay *sobs*) She sees a red glint in the corner of her eyes by the mountain and ofc goes to check it out (naauuurrrrrrr!!!!), She finds it, picks it up, messes with it for a minute and she's suddenly hit with a painful red shock that literally makes her fall to the ground. And with some spoooky electronic glitchy magic bs going on in front of her this blob takes in the form of... guys... You'll NEVER guess who it is!... It's Turbo! what a goddamn surprise! I bet u never guessed right hehehehehehe >:] jk (I just realized how long this is getting. I'm sorry to all my ADHD people 😭😭😭)

I'll try to explain this part really quick :,)

Turbo meets Annabelle in his Virtual form, Annabelle os freaked out about this shit cuz holy fuck what is that creepy ass glitchy tall shadow creature???? (yes his virtual form made him tall 🤭) So after some back and fourth talking and them introducing themselves and Turbo going on about his pathetic sob story as they why he's like this and all that bs talk, Annabelle asks if he could be able to take her home because of his coding abilities and all that stuff. He says he will BUT, in order to help her get "home" SHE has to do something for him first in order for that to happen. He NEEDS everything back that was all taken away from HIM and he need her help to get it all back just by Reincoding him back to his physical from (unfortunately for Turbo, his powers and abilities are limited when he's in his virtual form.). Annabelle agrees. (spoiler alert: There is actually no way she can get home, she's stuck in the game world forever. 🥲)

Now how this will happen is:

• Get inside the castle and enter the code room, Find Sour Bill and hold him at knife (ik, very dramatic and over the top but somethings gotta work) point. He will help her get into the code room with a rope to tie around her in order to stay safe and not float away in the black abyss of the code room (ofc he tells her the Nintendo code)

• He will be with her when this happens, Annabelle will need to destroy Vanellope's code and keep it away from all the other codes just like he did when he Ruled Sugar Rush. This will ensure that Vanellope will forget EVERYTHING (this means her memories about Ralph and everyone else she has befriended and her memories she has held dear)

• Turbo will teach her how to code a new character sprite for herself and put EVERYTHING in it that will make her Rightful Ruler. Annabelle gives herself the Name "Queen Sweetheart" Omori Reference???? (Turbo designed a dress for her, She found it pretty sus on how low the bust area is but whatever, she has other clothing designs for herself. Whatever works)

• Alright Vanellope is out of the way and now considered a threat once again and no one has NO memory of Vanellope and Annabelle is officially rightful ruler of Sugar Rush

• She will announce that there will be a big Racing event in THREE DAYS (ofc the whole part with the coins from the first movie is brought back to ensure that Vanellope CANNOT enter the race again.

• When that day comes Turbo will virtually go into Annabelle's body (It's painful) and then she will go racing with him virtually inside her.(Please don't get the wrong idea I couldn't think of any other way to say it 😭😭😭) She HAS TO WIN. If she doesn't then he will find her completely useless and not help her get back home. *😐*

When Annabelle wins that race Turbo is finally back to his physical form and 100% fully alive and will take everything back that has been taken from him. (sure Turbo, sure 😒)

Ofc there will be people getting in the way of Their plans cuz people want to know why there's suddenly a new character and "WHAT THE FUCK DID U DO TO VANELLOPE???" -Ralph probably 🤭

With the help of some people Vanellope eventually starts to regain memory. "How will Vanellope get into that Race? she has no medal!" Well Felix was nice enough to give him one of his to use, he was hesitant *raises eyebrow* but he had to do it for the sake of Vanellope.

I was gonna type in more but I think that would be spoiling some stuff so uh yeahhhh. I'll stope here for now! uhhhh Thanks for readingggg. (If u even read this far into my AU Lore and stuff 😇)

I'd love to type more story and lore but like the last bits are like the best parts so like- I'll save those for art hehehehe.

If you like this AU then YIPPEEEE!!!!! ✨✨✨

If not then uhhhh 😐😐😐

thx for reading anyway 🥲

Anyway uh I'll make ref sheet's for Turbo and Annabell/QS soon dw 😁😁😁

If u have questions about the AU, my inbox is open for asks!!! ✨✨✨ I'd love to answer :333

Oke uh Bye 💖

[review-anon]

It's Christmas!

*The clocks on the Voidship tick over and the calender now reads 25th December, AKA Christmas Day, Christmas has finally come to the Voidship!*

*Kana yawns as she gets out of her dorm* Ahhh today is gonna be the day I've been looking forward to all month, as Christmas is here!

The party is gonna be fantastic, everyone is gonna have a fun time and I can't wait to see what's in store!

*She then walks over to the Blowback Tree and she's followed by her own classmates*

Ohhhh I hope the little green men have come!

I think that's only what you want Kanjiro.

Didn't an Abnormality come and deliver the presents? So something akin to that has come and gone.

I wouldn't exactly call that an alien, just some nuisance.

"Oh I hope today is gonna be a brilliant day everyone!"

*Eventually, the Blowback cast arrive at their tree*

Oh I am so glad this didn't get destroyed in the chaos of yesterday.

Nijiue almost got away with these presents but I and Chihiro was able to catch her in the act before she did anything.

This place is looking very clean, the Voids must have done a fine job cleaning it last night.

Indeed and I hope they passed out and never wake up again for what they've done.

S-Shozo please...

Alright everyone! Let's open our presents and have a good time!

*Everyone looks for presents with their names on it and opens them up and is treated to a wide range of gifts*

Oh wow this teddy bear is huge! I wonder if I can get inside them and just stay in their soft, delicate fur.

Oooo this violin looks so pretty and the colours go with my outfit.

Wait...its similar to Akamatsu's suit she wore in the Concert that made everyone go crazy don't tell me its made of the same equipment....

Yeah...maybe don't play that just in case.

Oooo these notebooks look fancy, Mai thanks you very much!

Ah look at this stunning creature figure! It looks like a shark combined with a raptor with a crown on its head.

Its a very menacing alien indeed!

Awww Kazuki, you didn't get me the latest addition of The Bomb Inside Her?

Kazuki: I did it, it wasn't easy to get.

Well I like it s-so thanks.

Erm guys...why don't I have anything?

You aren't the only one, since I can't find anything for me.

Well in your case, its because you're a arsehole, but for me? Do people...

Oh noooo you guys forgot about me again did you?

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

*Across the Voidship various other people were getting presents*

*Kaede holds out some high quality headphones* Oh Shuichi this is so sweet...you shouldn't have.

W-well...I do know what to get you for the occasions.

Also thanks for this guide on the world Kaede...that means a lot.

This spiked dildo is so much spiker then the last one and its gonna be great!

Quest For Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness | Part 8

The Adventurer's Log

To the swamp! But Erana's Garden first to get another fruit. I keep forgetting to do that. Plus I can water the bonsai tree. No idea if there's any point in doing that but I like doing it.

Since I was headed to the swamp I also went toward the cave, since it's nearby, to stop by the big arch to see if I could find the ritual under the Dark One's sign. I didn't find anything. Then again I didn't when I first took the sign either, so I'm not sure what to do about that. Did it get taken?

Back to the swamp I glided my way across until I found the tomb and two Chernovy.

After a little spell slinging (yay reversal), they made it get dark and came to me.

The Juggling Lights spell is fun. Yeah, let me just put on a light show for ya. I mean it's a practical use in cancelling their darkness spell but it's also just fun to see. Then it turned into a fight.

And made me chew right through my MP so I'm glad I'd grabbed another fruit along the way. I had to resort to my dagger in the second fight, ew.

Once they were gone, I was able to examine the tomb? Pillar?

Of course the Dark One's sign was used for the inset figure and I was given a puzzle with the arcane symbols to presumably mark in order.

I figured the order would be the same as the arch. That I had I just been examining. But did I remember the order? Of course not! Were the symbols all clear to see in my old screenshots? Nah. Did I ever note them down? No!

I didn't want to glide my way all the way back across the swamp again and then have to do it again to get back, so I reloaded an old save and went to have another look. Remember, multiple saves can save your butt AND let you be lazy.

Anyway the order is: mouth, bone, blood, breath, sense, heart, and essence... which means just starting at mouth and going clockwise one symbol at a time. Oops easy! But also a good thing because I could still not tell what the symbols for sense and essence actually were. That got me the Ritual of Bone. I still don't know why I'm collecting these, but I'm gonna need them at some point and it gave me something to do while waiting for nightfall.

I went back to town to see how things were going and get more healing and poison curing since I used one of each today. Plus the mana fruit. Look at me using my items.

As soon I entered the main area of town the Burgomeister told me Nikolai had disappeared.

And I didn't go to find him last night because of the gypsy visit, so hopefully that's not going to be a problem for me... erm. Tonight!

The last time the Burgomeister saw him he was looking for Anna and seemed so excited to see her. He'd like to believe they're together again. I'm... thinking that may be the case... as ghosts... Agh.

There was also talk of werewolves sparking again with him missing but the Burgomeister put a halt to that.

He'll miss Nikolai...

Oohhh... Tonight's gonna be sad, isn't it? Sadder. Or bittersweet I guess? I'd be more surprised if he was alive given the everything and dangers of the forest, but knowing that's only fueling the little sad pit of dread.

Olga noted Nikolai's absence too: "More missing people! Now old Nikolai is gone! What is this town coming to?"

Otherwise nothing new from her.

The innkeeper really had nothing new, not even anything about Nikolai, but I did have to pay for my next week of room and board. Against my better judgement I went to see Punny while there too.

"Did ya hear the one about the Vampire that underestimated his opponent? He didn't know how much he had at stake."

That's better than the material he's had so far... Otherwise he didn't have anything for me either, which I was expecting.

Went to see Igor, but nothing there either except I was reassured that he's "not tomb bad." Who needs Punny Bones anyway?

Everything else in town may have been quiet, but it was an exciting day for Dr. Cranium. "Behold... Frankie!"

There she is.

He was very excited and certain she'd have all the necessary assets to become a premier laboratory assistant. And he's a genius! None other have successfully created a Frankie like his!

He didn't have much else. He didn't want to talk about the experiments he and Frankie will perform as he thinks the world may not be ready for them. And Frankie is a little shy.

When I left he said he might not be available. That's annoying for potion getting... I hope it was just talk.

Alrighty then. I don't know if I want to know what those experiments will be either.

I went to go have a nap because I still had quite a bit of day left and my stamina and mana weren't great. Especially the mana. Two hours did well for my stamina, but mana still wasn't very good oh well.

Once night fell I went to go find Anna and yeah... Nikolai's ghost too as expected.

They were very happy to see each other. So there's that...

Together in death I suppose... They thanked me and vanished and I had to do the whole leave and come back again to get them to reappear. Unfortunately I went north and found an eerie mound.

It resulted in a wraith that destroyed me. When I tried again I still went north to see if it was a consistent thing or random and yeah, still there, but I managed to get away before getting completely killed.

Anna and Nikolai did come back to thank me, and I was able to talk to them. I didn't get much in the way of new information that I hadn't already learned or figured out by now. Nikolai told me about the secret passage from the crypt to the castle, but thanks to nosiness I already did that. He also mentioned the stranger that went to the castle, "the Dark Master".

Anna also told me to talk to her old friend Olga (aw) for more information too as she was a good source. And I already do that too. I kind of feel like I was meant to do this earlier.

AND Nikolai gave me his hat. I have a hat! I'm coming, Bonehead! Not yet but soon. That was feeling like a bottleneck, so I'm glad.

Then they left... I guess they're happy? They're together and Anna's no longer lost... Dead but clearly spirits are a thing so... Happy ending?

I fled back to town.

Thanks to the general activities of the day and that wraith encounter I didn't have enough MP to levitate over the now-barred gate... I could use the spell but it immediately wore off so I had to rest until I had enough to get over the gate and the run back to the sweet sweet safety of the inn. Thankfully resting at the gate seemed safe enough.

I was not in good shape!

I got some dinner and instead of just delivering my food and leaving Bella actually stayed to talk!

She thinks Igor is a nice person and she always leaves out some dinner for him. He's always polite to her though she doesn't really understand his 'graveyard humour.'

She was also glad I helped the gypsy. She doesn't know if they're werewolves or not and doesn't care. They all have the right to live in Mordavia. She told me to tell the gypsy if I see him again that she and Yuri at least will welcome him in town. Yuri seemed a little more uncertain of this, but Bella seems in control here at the end of the day.

Time to end the day and what a day... Bed never looked so good.

And just as I was thinking, wow, a night with no interruptions, I woke in the morning to discover a note on my storage chest:

"Please meet tonight outside the town gates. I will be waiting, Your friend, Katrina."

Is she my friend though?

Another night activity for me... but daytime means NPC rounds before finally going to see Bonehead again to deliver the hat.

Bella stayed again when she brought me breakfast and had more to say. Of particular interest were Erana's staff and the Domovoi.

Staff: She said her mother would always visit the garden or her staff when unhappy and would feel better for doing so. She said tales said Erana was part fairy. She also suggested I sleep at the staff and I may have pleasant dreams. Another night task I suppose.

Domovoi: She used to see him as a child. She would sneak down in the middle of the night to try to find him and he would always laugh and laugh when she did. Awww. She doesn't see him anymore as an adult but is sure he's still there.

She also talked a bit about dreams and that they should be believed in. She's always telling that to Yuri who seems less inclined.

Yuri had a dream last night about Tanya. He spoke of her going missing two years ago and that the gravedigger had seen a huge monster outside her window. Matches what the Domovoi told me. He was generally more chatty too and talked about the Domovoi and Rusalka but wasn't sure if they actually existed or not. And there have always been rumours of vampires but it's ill luck to speak of them.

Heading out and the Burgomeister was more open with me now too! He also didn't have much to say about Vampires, just rumoured and that's never heard of anyone actually being harmed by one.

I asked about the Dark One. It's another subject of bad luck to speak of but he talked about how it was worshipped in the monastery and the members there mostly stayed there but were still feared in town. Then one day they were gone. They heard of the fighting at the Dark One's cave, but only his grandfather returned with Erana's staff.

People are being so open today! I guess I hit some threshold of doing enough good. He's even telling me to be careful now, more nicely.

Nothing new from Olga or Igor. Dr. Cranium was trying to figure out his report on the Frankie.

I also told him about the undead. He just considered vampires and rusalki and wraiths to be superstitious nonsense. Tell that to the wraith that murdered me. Tell that to my friend, the rusalka who's kindly trying not to murder me.

Time to head out and if I don't get distracted by other matters, deliver a hat to Bonehead. Smooth sailing aside from a vicious rabbit encounter (vorbal bunny I think?), but they're pretty manageable now.

I made my hat delivery and it looks pretty good on him I must say.

Baba Yaga was ready for me according to him, got a book ready and everything: "How to serve man".

I had some looking around to do and there was supposed to be a ritual in the hollow of a tree here if I got the clue correct. If there was anything there I couldn't find it yet. There was a large knothole but "knot" anything inside it. There was also a boulder nestled in the roots but nothing I tried with it worked either.

On to Baba Yaga's hut.... but it kept walking away from me. Might be mad about the whole thing in Spielburg leading it to having to fly over here.

So according to Bonehead I gotta gift it something. We could be friends...

What about the rubber chicken?

Not its "type". Fine.

Bonehead suggested thinking like a chicken to catch a chicken. So...

Corn?

Corn.

There's a happy fed hut. I finally found a use for that corn from the beginning of the game!

Into Baba Yaga's hut... Will I find useful information? Or will I meet a froggy fate?

ted/rebecca, t for themes, snippet. musings on the many meanings of acronyms. thought about actually editing and expanding this for the archive but it’s been months and months and I don’t want to so it’s going to live here.

"She's doing it again.” 

Ted gingerly set the two pints and the gin and tonic he was holding onto the picnic table. Beard raised his eyebrows, making eye contact with Rebecca, a hint of a smirk forming as he reached for a pint and took a sip. Rebecca rolled her eyes with a faux-exasperated huff, grabbing the gin and tonic. She patted the bench next to her in a bid to get Ted to sit down. He ignored her and remained standing, a furrowed expression on his face, continuing to watch Mae through the window. 

“Love, I think you’re the one staring, just sit.” 

“Rebecca, I am not making this up. Every single time we’ve come here for the last three weeks I catch Mae looking at my—“ He made an (almost) imperceivable gesture toward his crotch. “Beard, tell her, I know you know what I’m talking about. You saw it last week. I know looking’s not technically illegal, but it’s definitely uncomfy. She’s always been cheeky but—“ He trailed off.

“Should we tell him?” Beard asked Rebecca. 

She shrugged, but nodded. “This was fun while it lasted but I suppose it’s gone on long enough. Ted, sit.”

The direct command startled Ted out of his reverie. He stopped his observation of the publican just long enough to comply, quickly taking a seat and a sip before returning his gaze to Mae, who was definitely looking at him again. He narrowed his eyes; she returned the look with a laugh.

“Now what the heck is that supposed to mean?”

Rebecca reluctantly followed Ted’s line of sight, snorting when she made eye contact with Mae, who gave her a wink. Mae smirked in Ted’s direction and gave Rebecca a salute, before turning to face the back of the bar, shaking her head. Rebecca snorted, placing a hand on Ted’s shoulder in an effort to draw his attention.

“Ted, do you remember that night last month when you met Keeley and I here for dinner? You were coming from a therapy session and we were a couple drinks in by the time you showed up.”

“Yeah of course I do, that was the day I had that breakthrough, finally felt like CBT was working—“

“Right so, just before you showed up Keeley was…well she was talking, rather loudly—you know how she is—about some things she’s been trying with Roy. Certain, dynamics—“ Rebecca caught the look of confusion on Ted’s face and struggled to finish her sentence, breaking into laughter instead.

“BDSM, Coach,” Beard supplied. 

Ted sputtered, almost knocking his glass over as he returned it to the table. Rebecca clapped him on the back as finished coughing. He spoke once he recovered.

“I think that’s great that Keeley feels safe enough in this space to speak so freely. But uh, what does that have to do with me? And Mae’s, uh, new fixation?”

“Well, Mae was an active participant in our conversation, but she got called to the other end of the bar right before you walked in, some nonsense from PB&J—“

“Always love that acronym, sorry continue.”

“Funny you mention acronyms. You came in shouting about how much you love CBT now, how I’ve erm, ‘helped you see the light,’ and I guess Mae just assumed the topic hadn’t…changed.”

“I’m not following.” Ted’s brow was furrowed again, he looked from Rebecca to Beard for help.

“Cock and ball torture, Coach.”

Heart of the Weave - A Baldurs Gate fanfiction

CHAPTER 15

Nobody tells you how quickly time flies by when you’re a parent. Jenevelle is already three months old, and she’s been nothing short of a miracle in our lives. She’s still so small yet so full of life; full of smiles and laughter throughout the days, and hardly cries. Gale and I finally have her transitioned to her room in her crib now, which was so hard – not for her, but for me. Having her in the bassinet by our bed gave me a sense of comfort, knowing I could easily check up on her and make sure she’s breathing. On another note, I’m grateful for our friends, but especially since she’s been born. Karlach will come and babysit once or twice a month while Gale and I go out and have a night to ourselves, which has been so nice. At first, it was an adjustment leaving her for the first time, but I’m glad we are able to get a break every once in a while.

The morning sun rises, and I notice Gale isn’t in bed with me. He does like to wake up rather early and enjoy the dawn, drinking his warm coffee and watching the sun rise. That’s when he has his best ideas for research. I get out of bed and notice Gale on the balcony, where he’s holding Jenevelle and they’re both enjoying the outside world.

“Ah, there’s my love,” Gale says, smiling as I sit down next to him. He leans in for a kiss as the morning sunlight pours over our skin. “Good morning. I hope I didn’t wake you.”

“No, of course not. I was just ready to get up and start my day. I’m glad you are both having a quiet morning.” He gently bounces Jenevelle in his arm and takes a sip of his morning coffee with the other.

“Indeed. I’m just happy you got to sleep in some. I got so much done this morning. I had some sort of…morning epiphany that caused me to wake up and get a jumpstart on the day. I did some of my studies, made breakfast for us, which is sitting on the kitchen table by the way, and I got Jenevelle up, dressed, and fed…” As he continues to speak, I can’t help but admire him. “...and I just wanted to make your morning a little easier since I don’t teach today.” His brown eyes shimmer, transitioning into a tint of golden honey as the sun shines upon his face at a perfect angle.

“I appreciate you and how considerate you are. I truly love you more than words can define,” I tell him as I stretch my body, releasing all tensions held within me. He smiles, trying to fight that cute chuckle he always does.

“Thank you. That means the world to me. I love you too.” As we sit here enjoying the peace, the gentle breeze of Waterdeep air brushes the messy hair out of my face. As I look down at the town square below us, I see there’s a festival going on with various vendors and some bards playing some tunes for a large crowd. I actually notice Shadowheart, believe it or not, and it’s as if she’s looking for something in particular. She’s probably doing some shopping. I’m thinking about going down and buying Jenevelle a crochet owlbear or maybe a quilted blanket.

“Are you thinking about the festival?” Gale asks, studying my face.

“Erm, no…”

“You want to go, don’t you?” I laugh lightly, but then hide it with a fake cough. Is it silly for a grown woman to want to go to a fun festival?

“Can we?” He smiles and hands the baby over to me as he stands up from his seat.

“Of course. Let me go get dressed and we can head out. I’m going to avoid a robe this time, just in case some of my students are there. As much as I enjoy discussing the physics of magic and teaching others how to perform it correctly, I’d rather spend my time with my family enjoying the beauty of Waterdeep and its festivities.”

While Gale goes inside to get ready, I continue to observe the happy crowds from above; people casually dancing to the music, live entertainment of a comedic orc doing stand up, and of course delicious food. Mmmm. I can smell funnel cakes from up here.

We head down to the fun market area for the festival and notice various shops and vendors on every corner throughout the square. So many children are running around playing, eating, and having fun. I almost can’t wait until Jenevelle is walking and can enjoy fun events like this, playing with other children. For now, I have her wrapped in the baby carrier attached to my body, curled up and comfortable as we stroll the calming streets of Waterdeep.

“What a perfect day for such a festival. I clearly don’t get out enough, I feel like I haven’t seen any signs anywhere,” I say, observing the exciting area around us. I do notice a few clowns around us, which immediately brings flashbacks of Dribbles the Clown back at Baldur’s Gate, except we killed him and he was actually a shapeshifter. Long story short, he and several other shapeshifters were sent by Orin to murder me. Now that I look back on it, I feel honored to be such a threat to her.

“Oh, I have a slight inkling this was all planned last minute,” Gale says, chuckling. “Nonetheless, it’s fun to get out and enjoy this time together.”

We grab food and sit down at the music event, where three high elf bards are performing some new music I haven’t heard of before, but they’re pretty good! As we’re watching the concert, I hear my name nearby by a familiar voice – Shadowheart, perhaps? I turn around and notice her approaching us, and she sits down next to me. She has a bag full of items she bought from the various shops and vendors.

“Shadowheart?”

“I know I live like, two blocks down from you, but I saw you two walking and wanted to…give the baby a gift. But then I lost you when I spotted you both at the festival. I didn’t want to interrupt any future plans you might have later, so I figured I’d come by now.” She hands me an adorable pink owlbear plush from her bag, which is almost as big as Jenevelle herself. “The pink owlbear was the last one left. Since I don’t have children yet, I figured I’d spoil your little one while I still can.” I smile, taking the owlbear plush from her.

“Wow, this…is so kind. Thank you.”

“You want children, Shadowheart?” Gale asks. “Man, I wish I knew that earlier. We’d have asked you to babysit if you ever wanted to get the feel of parenthood.”

“I… I do. Now that our adventures are in the past, I’m in a comfortable position where I know I could be a mother. I would adopt, however.”

“A very kind and selfless choice.” I don’t know why but it surprises me that she wants to be a mother. I never got that vibe from her, but I do recall her saying right before fighting the elder brain that she ‘wants to have children once this is all over.’

“Definitely come by when you can. If you’re free tomorrow, maybe you can come by and we can have some tea or coffee while Gale is teaching?” She smiles with pure delight, as if she’s excited to hang out with me for the first time in a few weeks. I don’t know why we don’t get together more often.

“I’d like that. I’ll see you tomorrow then. I better go grab Astarion before he commits some heinous acts in the middle of the square.”

Gale and I shop around, getting new handmade clothes for Jenevelle and various fruits, vegetables, and other ingredients so I can bake a yummy dessert. Baking is one of my specialties, after all. After soaking in the sun partaking in a lovely little family venture, we head home due to Jenevelle getting fussy. However, we get home to put her down for a nap and she is screaming inconsolably. What we thought was her being tired is actually fear; something is causing her to feel sudden fear.

After about thirty minutes of her lying on my bare chest, she calms down and falls asleep. This was unusual behavior for her, especially since she hardly cries, but I’m glad she’s doing alright now.

“My head is throbbing from the screaming. I can’t imagine how she was feeling. I do hope she’s okay,” Gale says, carefully eyeing our sleeping baby as she sleeps in her crib.

“Me too. Maybe she’s just exhausted? Teething? Growing pains?” We watch her sleep peacefully in her crib for a moment, then head down to the living area to relax for about an hour or two. We plop down on the violet velvet sofa next to each other, curled up in a cuddling position. I’m worried about Jenevelle, but I’m sure I’m just being paranoid.

“You might be right about her possibly having pains of some sort, but part of me believes something else is going on. Maybe she saw something that frightened her. Poor baby,” Gale says, followed with a sigh. “I hate feeling daunting like this, but that must be part of being a parent, hm?” He kisses the side of my head for a couple seconds straight, one of the various affections I adore. “I love you. I think we’re doing pretty well as new parents.” I look up at him with my dark brown eyes, staring directly into his as we snuggle closely.

“I love you too. So much. And I couldn’t agree more.”

My love for him gets stronger by the minute every day. It seems like just yesterday I was pulling him out of a portal within a rock and we had an awkward introduction. Look where that unusual encounter got us!

I suddenly remember that Karlach is supposed to come over tonight to watch Jenevelle while Gale and I attend our monthly date night.

“Oh damn, I forgot we were going out tonight. My mom brain sure shows its true colors now,” I mention.

“Do you want to cancel?”

“No, no, it’s okay. Jenevelle will adore seeing aunty Karlach.” I really try not to cancel our date nights since we don’t have them too often; however, Gale’s mom is coming down in two weeks so we may get another one then. She’s been dying to hold and babysit our little girl.

“Good. I look forward to our evening together.”

I smile as I watch the glowing sun set from our living room window, thinking how blessed I truly am. Life is finally perfect again.

⚡LIGHTNING ROUND!!⚡

Jervis, your perfect date night (or day) with Hope! GO! [BONUS:] would you want to dress her up for the date in something specific (assuming she agreed)?

Jonny, something Hope has not yet experienced that you want her to experience with you! could be an activity, a book, a food, a sensation, anything!

Eddie, gush about Hope because I know you love talking! Literally just type whatever you think of that you like about her until someone physically takes the keyboard away. No limits, no filter, get weird, GO NUTS

OKAY DON'T THINK TOO HARD ABOUT IT GO GO GO!! (@marshmallowloves (but like. no real pressure obviously take your time answering IRL kjdfhg))

Edward: OOOOH YEAHH LIGHTNING ROUND LET'S GO GENTLEMEN ME FIRST ME FIRST

I LOVE HOPE. I love her so much she's so beautiful and fun and creative and smart and I love watching her do anything. She could be sleeping and I'd just sit there and watch her because she's so

Jonathan: Wow. Made it weird immediately.

Edward: NOT YOUR TURN 😤 ANYway I fell in love with her the moment I saw her in her films, and it's just grown and grown since then. Honestly it's fate that our paths have crossed, I mean it was only a matter of time before she fell into my lap let's be honest, she's perfect and I'm perfect, we were made for each other. She was destined for me and mmmmmm 💚💚💚

You know she met me, for the first time, while we were holding her captive, you know that? She met me not as myself, but as R.id.dler, and yet she still managed to fall in love with me, despite being her captor, honestly, if that's not true love I don't know what is

(Jonathan shushing him and trying to grab the laptop in the background)

Ijustadorehersososomuch she always says "i'm normal" after she gushes about us on this blog well now I'M GOING TO DO IT I'M NORMAL I'M VERY NORMAL ABOUT HOPE!!!!!! I'M NORMAL!!! I SELFSHIP WITH HOPE I'M NOOORRRMMMAL

Jonathan: you cANNOT just come in here and TALK ABOUT THE ABDUCTION LIKE THAT??? That was a very unhinged and manic response, have you taken your medication??

Edward: I can't hear you over the sound of it being Jervis's turn.

Jervis: Hm- Hrm. Well... a perfect date, oh... well... a... I'm dropping the rhymes for this, I- I can't do it 😖

I'd love simply to go walk in a garden together, outdoor or indoor. It's getting quite cold now, the flowers simply wouldn't be in bloom, but an indoor garden would do nicely... Thinking of having her on my arm while we admire the pretty blossoms is enough to make me blush, I will be honest. It would be made all the lovelier if we were to

Mmm... if I had a choice in what she'd wear, well I do love her evening gowns... erm. Her fit and flare dresses are some of my favorites... She even has a pretty white petticoat she wears beneath to make the skirt flare even more, and it's... erm, a very lovely sight indeed!

In particular she looks lovely in dark red... and I do love when she wears her large hairbows, she has a particular white lacy one that I quite like... I-I'm done now, Jonathan, y-you go-

Jonathan: Goodness. What a range of lovers Hope has in us. Mm... well one thing I'd love for Hope to experience is going on a ride on my horse, Clarabelle. Ah... if Clarabelle can handle two people at once, it'd be lovely to ride together, but I'll have to test that out... don't want Hope getting bucked. Hope does love horses, she's absolutely in love with my sweet Clara, but she's never gotten a chance to ride her. We have a sizable pasture near the farmhouse, and I'd just... love to give her the opportunity.

Edward: Ohhh.... 🥺 Oh Jonathan she'd swoon if she read this, you should go tell her right now- I'm gonna show her-

Jonathan: do NOT SHOW HER I am waITING TIL I CAN PROPERLY PLAN IT OUT-

GGSB Fest 2024 - Day 2 - Trip Down Memory Lane

@goodgodfathersiriusblack

Prompt: Old Photos

When Sirius catches Harry looking at his photo album, he decides to make one with all of the photos he has and share some fun stories with him.

AO3

***

These days, Sirius never really sleeps.  Every time he tries, he wakes with nightmares that are actually quite real – being stuck in this house, being a fugitive, getting his soul sucked out, having everyone think he killed his best friends… 

He shakes himself, it’s better that he just tries not to sleep.

Thus, he makes his way downstairs, not sure what he would do down there, but it’s better than trying to sleep.  However, he’s surprised when he sees Harry sitting in the kitchen with a photo album. 

“Harry?”

“Oh, Sirius,” Harry says, surprised.  “I, er –”

He’s blushing a bit, like he’s embarrassed.  

Sirius makes his way over beside him.  “What’re you looking at?”

“Oh, erm, my photo album… Hagrid made it for me at the end of my first year,” Harry states, looking down at the album rather than at Sirius.  

“Oh,” Sirius states.  “May I look, too?  I bet I could tell you some stories?”

Harry looks up.  He’s clearly uncertain, but Sirius can tell how much he wants that.  “Yes,” he says, a bit too eagerly.  “I mean, if you want.”

“Of course, I do.”

Sirius sits beside Harry and begins telling him little stories about the photos inside.  There’s not as many photos as Sirius would assume given that James and Lily were at least friends for a majority of a decade.  He’s sure that’s he’s got a lot more photos than this and resolves to get them all together for another photo album. 

Until then, he’s telling Harry stories of the events leading up to the wedding.  James had been a complete mess despite how utterly in love with Lily he was and Lily, for her part, had her own freakout.  As the designed best mate for both of them, Sirius had a front row seat to the craziness, which he can happily now share with Harry.

Unfortunately, they have to call it a night earlier than planned once Tonks arrives in from her shift.  Harry’s tired anyway, but Sirius is given a new mission – create a new photo album, but first, he has to find the photos.  

***

It takes the better part of three days to find every photo he could which had him, James and Lily in them.  As he looks at them spread out over his bed, he realizes that they are a lot more than he realized.  He had thought that most of them were entirely lost, but his spell to return his lost possessions had manage to return them all. 

Many of them included his photos of him and James in their Hogwarts years.  Given that he was as close to Lily as he was James, he has plenty of similar photos with her.  And of course, they have so many pictures of baby Harry.  

He was the light of all their worlds.

“Hey, Sirius, Mrs. Weasley asked me to –” Harry starts from the doorway, but he pauses at the sight of the photos.  “What are all these?”

“Oh, erm, well – I, er, noticed that you didn’t have that many photos when we were talking the other night.  I figure – well, I was their best friend and – and there were many people lost that maybe that was why… so, I wanted to get you all of mine.  I was hoping to make another photo album for you and gift it to you before school.  I could fill in some of the stories with letters or whenever we could chat…”

Harry is staring at him unbelievably and makes Sirius nervous.  

“Er, unless you don’t –”

He’s thrown off by Harry launching himself into Sirius’ arms.  “That would be so awesome!  Can we make it together?  You could – maybe, tell me the stories as we come across the photos?”

Sirius grins.  “I’d love to.  Want to start now?  Unless, you said Molly –”

“Oh, er, yeah, she sent me up here to see if you wanted dinner.”

Sirius nods.  “Why don’t we get something to eat, and we can start our project afterwards?”

“Sounds brilliant.”

***

An hour later, Sirius is grinning as Harry laughs uproariously.  He just told him the story about James walking around Hogwarts with Prongs’ antlers because of a failed attempt to transform for three weeks.  Harry thought it was a hoot (and amazed that anyone believed their lie that Sirius tried a bad prank on him).  

“How did he sleep?”

“Terribly,” Sirius admits.  “He always used to roll around a lot – he ended up the floor more than once, but he couldn’t with antlers, so he was quite put out about it.”

“I imagine,” Harry says, grinning.  “I can’t believe no one knew after that.”

“I’m not convinced no one knew, partially because when your mum found out, the first thing she said was ‘so that’s why he had antlers for weeks’.”  He laughs.  “I think people just assumed that couldn’t be it, like seeing something – assuming the correct thing, but then going, nah, not possible and ignoring the signs.”

“Until faced with the truth,” Harry states.  “Sounds about right.  How’d McGonagall react?”

Sirius laughs.  “Well, Dumbledore explained to the Order as I sat as Padfoot, and when I transformed, she took one look at me and walked out.  She came back a minute later and proceeded to lecture me on how reckless it was for the three of us to become animagi on a whim to potentially help Remus before we turned of age.  When she finished, she paused before stating ‘well, that explains why you were always ahead in my classes – and always disruptively entertaining yourselves’.”

Harry laughs.  “What does that even mean?”

“Well, we were ahead in that class for obvious reasons, so we usually spent class time trying to come up with a prank or something to entertain ourselves.”

“Nice.”

They move through more photos, Sirius telling stories about James and Lily’s obvious pining for each other but denying it.  

“What makes you think they were pining if they were fighting all the time?” Harry questions, evidently not understanding their dynamic as he looks at a photo of a pink-haired James with devil horns, and Lily laughing in the background.  “This certainly doesn’t show pining to me.”

Sirius chuckles.  “Well, I know because both of your parents used to complain for hours about each other – to me.”  He’s grinning as he remembers the nights spent listening to both and teasing them relentlessly.  “You see, I was as close to your mum as I was to your dad, but things were complicated with my family.  I didn’t want to risk making her a target as things weren’t great with the war getting worse and worse every year we were at school, so we kind of kept it secret.  So, we’d meet up in the middle of the night and she would talk for hours about how annoying James was to her, but honestly, I think she just wanted to deny any feelings because of other complicated things at the time.”  He did not want to bring up Snape, so he says, “Your dad, on the other hand, had it easy mooning over Lily – mainly because he couldn’t hide his feelings to save his life.  He wasn’t the type to ‘play nice’ if you get my drift.  He had a terrible poker face.”

Harry nods.  “I could see that.  Why pretend when it’s obvious?”

“Exactly.  So, they were both terrible piners – Lily was just better at hiding it.”

Harry hums, moving onto other photos.  Like the one from Slughorn’s Christmas Party seventh year.

“Is this –”

“Their first date?  Yes,” Sirius says.  “It was actually an accidental date…”

“An accidental date?”

Sirius hums.  “Er, yes.  See, I was supposed to go with her.  As friends, obviously.  She wanted to ask James because they were Heads together and she thought – well, he’d grown a lot – but she freaked out and couldn’t manage it, and instead, asked me.  I knew, of course, about their feelings – so I … faked ill and told James to go in place.  She ended up confessing in the middle of the dance floor – and I, under James’ cloak – snapped this photo.”

“So, without you – I might not be here,” Harry jokes, playfully.

Sirius laughs.  “You could say that, but honestly, I think they were always destined to get together.  You were always meant to be here.”

Harry hums as he continues to add photos to the album.  “Oh, we had a puppy?”

Sirius clears his throat to stop himself from laughing.  “Not exactly.”

“Then you shrunk Padfoot?”

“Er, no, but you’re getting closer.”

“Closer to what?” Harry asks, eyeing him suspiciously.

Sirius grins.  “That puppy is a – well, not quite – Animagus.”

“What does – wait, are you saying that’s me?” Harry asks, entirely confused, despite Sirius’ nod.  “How is that even possible?”

“Well, we’re not exactly sure,” Sirius states.  “You were too young to remember or explain, so we just… know that whenever we were playing together with me as Padfoot that you’d suddenly become Snuffles.”

“Snuffles?” Harry asks, incredulously.  “That’s the name of baby me or puppy me?”

“Well, it was silly and adorable like you – it fit.”

 Harry’s looking down at the photo in complete shock.  “That seems… like … how?”

Sirius shrugs.  “Like I said – no idea, but well, it happened for months – every time I visited, I’d play with you as Padfoot, and you would be there as Snuffles and – it was fun.”

“And tiring apparently,” Harry says, adding a picture of Padfoot sleeping and curled around Snuffles.  “I can’t believe I don’t remember.”

“Yeah, that isn’t so great, but at least now you have the photos.”

Harry nods, as he continues putting more photos in the album.  He pauses again as he spies a photo of one-year-old Harry on a broom.  “Ooooh, that’s me on a broom.”

“It is,” Sirius says, grinning.  “I saw it and I just had to get it for you for your birthday.  You were always a natural.”

Harry grins.  “Dad looks a little worried in these pictures.”

Sirius hums.  “He was always a quidditch fanatic, but he never realized the danger until I bought you that.  I couldn’t make it to your first birthday, but I called by a week later after getting your mum’s letter and he gave me a what-for for giving it to you.  Claimed I was trying to cause you to destroy the house or break something.  Your mum just started laughing.  Said that of course you were a natural, and that she thought it was cute.  Besides, they had magic, they could protect you.”

“Dad was overprotective, then?”

“He was,” Sirius agrees.  “He wasn’t always, but when it came to you – he wanted to wrap you in bubble wrap and keep you as safe as possible.  Sadly, you can’t do that – it isn’t exactly a life worth living, you know?”

Harry nods.  “Yeah, yeah, I get that.”

He yawns as Molly comes in to suggest going to bed.  Harry looks like he doesn’t want to end their trip down memory lane, but Sirius can see how tired he is.

So, he says, “Why don’t we pause for tonight, but we can continue our trip down memory lane tomorrow?” 

Harry brightens.  “I’d like that.”

“Then, tomorrow it is.”

“Good night, Sirius.”

“Good night, Harry.”

With that, he’s off to bed – grinning for the first time since he arrived here, and so, is Sirius.

He looks down at the photos.  “You’d both be proud of him.  He’s a great kid.”

He sighs and gathers their things.  He’d put it away and go to bed himself.  Maybe tonight… he won’t have any nightmares.  

Maybe tonight, he’ll just enjoy his trip down memory lane.

~`|•BACKSTORY•|`~

Tatsou and her older sister, Raine lived in a small village northern from the location of final selection. Raine lived in a rather poor family as they didn't have much. Her father being a common thief and the mother being a saint. Raine has a sister named Tatsou Chizaku who is 2 years younger. When Raine(7) and Tatsou(5) were younger. Their father taught Raine how to steal food and jewelry. Which caused them to be looked down on. Months after a demon attacked which led to the death of Raine's parents.

Tatsou was then raised by her sister Raine. Raine did most of the stealing foods and stuff for survival while tatsou was either the distraction or off to the side. Once when Raine and tatsou were going to 'borrowing' food, the owner of the shop caught her and was gonna punish her. One night a demon attacked the village causing everyone to panic. Tatsou was separated from Raine and almost was attacked by the demon. Luckily a demon slayer came before it could and blocked Tatsou before killing it off. Tat was so appreciative after the lovely demon slayer brought her back to Raine and ever since then wanted to be a demon slayer.

Tatsou has always been fascinated in Dragons and always went to collect lizards. One day when she was catching a lizard she saw 3 swords on the back of a river where demon slayers were bathing. Tatsou being the angel she was.... Took the swords when they weren't looking and ran off with them to show Raine.

~`|BASIC INFO|`~

Tatsou is a 16 year old, 5'5 Kinoe Ranked demon slayer. Her breathing style is Dragon breathing that she made herself. Like her sister she has very strong bones, mainly in her legs and arms as that's where she mainly trains.

She mainly focuses on agility and wisdom making her battle IQ very high as well as her flexibility, and movements. She fights in a style like The lion dance as well as basic Katana fighting ig?..... Tatsou has amazing spatial awareness meaning it's hard to sneak up to her and she can sense a demon around the area she is in

(like the police man from rainy and a chance of meatballs/j)

Disadvantage; to many demons can over welm her and if she were to work with anyone like Genya and Nezuko she would accidentally almost attack them because she would mentally process they are not on her side before she sees them

Tatsou is a duals welder except the 'chips' on her sword are actually there to cut down trees or collect wood (cause she is broke AF)

Tatsou, instead of having a crow, has a lahore pigeon because despite being amazingly gifted with spatial awareness she gets lost very easily. She went in a circle for 5 days of the 7 days during final selection

Unlike her sister, Tatsou is more loud, aggressive and very straight forward when it comes to things. She isn't afraid to speak her mind about topics no matter who you are.

🐲🐉Fun facts🐉🐲

Tatsou laces her sword with gasoline so she can light it during battle and have her attack hurt more

The flame of her breathing style is purple

Tatsou gets very quiet and shy around genya, most likely will avoid looking at him or will stare from afar for a moment

Tatsous haori was stolen from a dying homeless man

Despite having a tough exterior... She is actually very childish

Tatsou enjoys secretly giving genya crystals she finds on missions.

Tatsous scar on her face is due to a demon night during a battle.

[yuukei-yikes]

ah! if you're taking questions about the fankids, can i ask about what's going on about the whole reincarnation thing? (how konoha finds out, if anyone else figures it out, even how he finds out about konoha (before he died) and the whole "daze" thing in the first place. poor kid's got a lot to deal with lol)

YIPPEEEEEEEEEE <- this yippe was written before i finished writing the reply. no yippee anymore. under the cut bc i also went crazy long with this and its embarrassing and erm erm erm erm. hehe. so much mental illness i basically wrote a fic under the cut

i've actually answered this before BUT im changing my answer. when i answered that ask konoha and ayame were only like 40 hours old so now it's simmered in my head better...hehehehheheheeh <- my evil laugh because im abt to give konoha 80 mental illnesses.

so i know i linked to the old answer but if u went to read it just forget abt everything i say in there

yknow how i talked abt like overprotective parents haruka&takane in my last ask LOL i actually had a big wall of text that i deleted while answering because it was rly sad and it got super long and i was like erm. maybe another time and THEN I GOT THIS ASK AND IM LIKE BOYYY WHY DID I DELETE THE TEXT but whatever i'll just go crazy now and even more bc i can dedicate the whole space to it HEHEHEHEHHEEH

konoha is nonverbal for years and since ayano works with kids i think she knows sign language teehee and when it became obvious konoha wasn't going to speak as a kid haruka&takane are like. well. let's do that ig. mekakushi dan learning sign language arc 💖 still is nonverbal most of the time i think. if i had thought of it beforehand i would've kept it for present time JUST IMAGINE THE DOODLES I MADE THE FIRST TIME HE'S SIGNING EVERYTHING IVE DECIDED MY NEXT GEN KONOHA IS NONVERBAL. HE DICHO. CASO CERRADO

ok they're overprotective not only bc they're disabled4disabled and terrified that konoha will one day wake up and be diagnosed with u got 6 years to live type of thing but also. konoha autism swag

and when konoha becomes a toddler shit goes down. then he starts hallucinating and having all these night terrors abt stuff like hibihiyo's timeloop and reviving azami over and over while she was living in the real world but also he's a kid so he doesn't really register all this horrifying stuff the same an adult would duh. and he kind of ALWAYS saw it he just can put it into words now ig. so he's not like AUUUUGHHH he's more like.. confused and scared. he's also not super communicative and i dont mean that bc he's nonverbal like even if he is, he still speaks through signs!! but he's still kind of quiet and slow and etc. like he IS konoha yknow?? he's just like playing and hanging out and suddenly just sees azami and he's like erm mom can u tell the lady in the corner to go away :(( and takane's like LOL. GET IN THE FUCKING CAR. he just gets diagnosis or derivations to other doctors and a child therapist etc and its not wrong bc HE IS completely human now and that whole thing IS translating into not only a human mind but like A TINY human mind. basically mental illness. so many mental illnesses.

HE'S STILL A RLY HAPPY KID...BUT THERE'S SO MUCH TO GET THRU... it's not like he's permanently hallucinating or having night terrors every night either he leads a fairly normal life!!! and is a little kid and has fun and plays around and he's so so so sweet and rly happy!!! but. there's also The Horrors.

i dont think the dan would hide their powers. like yeah sure kano can turn into a cat yippeee!! if we lose a toy we go to hibiya he can find anything!! seto can ALWAYS guess what number we're thinking of it's so funny!! LIKE IT'D BE CUTE RATIO + PLAYING + HAVING FUN OK? PEACE AND LOVE ON PLANET EARTH, OK!?!?!?!?

but the thing is that haruka saw everything konoha did like THEY WERE. YEAH. haruka & konoha is a THING so i think konoha can ask something and haruka's increasingly like HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT bc there is no way ANYONE could've told him that like the only person who would know is. WELLLLLL KONOHA? i think the big reveal can happen thru konoha being like hey. do u remember when we talked. in that big white room that never ended. that was rly weird lol like when did that happen. where even were we lol. also u were yelling thats so weird u never yell it was scary. lol!! and haruka's like Hehe(shaking) bc as soon as he realises He Cannot Stop realising

what the dan doesn't say is their story ofc bc it's rly sad and like why would they tell their kids abt that lol but. konoha starts asking Questions... Very Specific Questions.

ok sorry i havent even gotten to the way he finds out he's even awakening eyes LOL i think haruka realises btw. he realises before konoha realises. well konoha DOESNT realise. but he HAS been having this identity crisis and he's like damn i already transed my gender WHAT IS IT THIS TIME and he keeps asking these oddly specific questions that are freaking everybody out because he's not even really asking about their pasts?? he's just like mixing his old memories to his current memories and being like uncle shintaro remember when we fell off that high place together :3 and shintaro's like what the fuck are u talking about. like he doesn't describe it specifically enough or whoever he's talking to just assumes someone else told him abt something that happened back then.

like THATS HIS OTHER SELF so haruka isnt even doubting it, as soon as he realises HE DOESNT UNREALISE HE DOESN'T TRY TO CONVINCE HIMSELF OTHERWISE once he knows HE KNOWS. but konoha still doesn't know he's just kinda watching haruka having like a crisis or something.

from then on erm.... about how to manage it... well it'd be a complicated situation. haruka obviously tells takane and she's like ur fucking crazy lol im gonna go talk to him *leaves* *comes back* ok u were right. how the fuck did we even create this.

basically the dan knows before konoha does and it becomes a rly complicated subject about what to do about it because most of them are like the only way to rly make sure is to talk to konoha and they dont know if they wanna do that because they'd have to come clean about their horrible story and yknow konoha's just a kid!! but also if he IS konoha and everything he is seeing are those awful memories then he should know? for peace of mind? maybe? it's... a whole thing. like konoha isn't.... suffering. like obviously all his mental issues are awful but it's not like they will go away just by having context to some stuff. he's still a happy kid. the dan's like ok somehow haruka and ene created a freak of nature. it happens.

like what if they tell him and then all the memories become super clear. why would they wanna do that. most of the memories are total ass and awful. but also konoha's clearly confused and feels so lost. but maybe that's better than him being properly traumatized by remembering everything??

at the end of the day haruka and takane are the parents and they have to decide lollll man they'd be so torn about it. konoha probably throws a line like i just always feel like im forgetting something. THEY'D BREAK DOWN ON EACH OTHER SO BAD AND KONOHA'S LIKE WHYYYY ARE U GUYS CRYINGGGG!?!?! srry haruka and takane for putting u thru the horrors. i think it's funny to do that. congratulations on the marriage and the kid but also cry about it

erm. idk if or how they'd tell him. this is all i can come up with now. bye tune in for next chapter i fucking guess

[justsomerandomfanfic]

Hello! Could I get both romantic and platonic Matchups for Stranger Things and Marvel please?

So my name is Lexi and my pfp is what I look like (it’s a selfie)

I’m 24, straight, she/they, 5’4, & INTP

Pros? I’d say I’m playful, have a weird sense of humour, talkative, loyal as a dog, great listener, I smile a lot (while ironically having a resting bitch face), sarcastic, and most would probably describe me as either adorable yet cursed or adorably cursed. I’m definitely not a stranger to being called a cryptid lol

Neutral? I’m very sensitive, socially awkward, tend to ramble a lot, I can be a bit of a pack rat (I tend to keep a lot of unnecessary things either out of sentimental value or just cause it think it’s neat even if other people think it’s just junk 🤷🏾‍♀️), and I’m a bit of a perfectionist (but only towards myself).

Cons? I’m shy, anxious, a little clumsy, stubborn, non-confrontational (unless truly needed which I go kinda overkill sometimes), and can be petty/passive-aggressive

Likes/Hobbies: Playing bass, Internet Icebergs, retro technology, DIY projects, music, art, photography, and horror movies

Dislikes: Being underestimated, my passions/interests being mocked, being interrupted, and...country music? 🤷🏾‍♀️

Fun facts about me:

* Sometimes I write music (mainly just basslines though)

* I once accidentally won an art show (Yes I do mean accidentally. Long story)

* Erm…I used to work at a daycare?

* I once took a trip to Spain and joined a weed club 😎🤙🍃

Hope that’s enough info. Thanks in advance!

Hello, Lexi!

I am more than happy to write you some matchups!

And you gave me a good amount of information, don't worry! :)

So, I hope you like your matchups!

<333333333

Enjoy!

Romantic and Platonic Matchups; Stranger Things and Marvel

Stranger Things;

Eddie Munson -

You first met Eddie at the record store where you worked.

He was a frequent customer, always browsing the metal section, chatting with you about albums, and leaving with at least one cassette or vinyl every visit.

At first, you assumed he was just another music nerd, but he kept coming back - always lingering at the counter, making jokes, and trying (badly) to flirt.

Even though you were a bit socially awkward in the beginning, you being naturally sarcastic, matched his energy, throwing back witty remarks and playfully rolling your eyes when he’d dramatically declare an album life-changing.

He started asking for your recommendations, even for music outside of his usual taste, just to see your excitement when you talked about it.

The moment he knew he had a crush?

The first time you made eye contact with him.

Your eyes...

You had him since day one.

Eddie quickly became your favorite regular, and you became his only reason for spending so much time at the store.

The two of you often talked about underground bands, weird mysteries, and old-school horror movies.

Sometimes, customers would give you looks because you’d both be cackling over something absolutely unhinged.

He noticed how shy you could be at times, so he never pushed you to talk when you weren’t up for it.

Instead, he’d just plop down in the store with his notebook during your breaks and keep you company in comfortable silence.

He loved hearing you play bass, often demanding to hear your original riffs, and hyping you up like you were the next rock legend.

One time, he begged you to help design cover art for Corroded Coffin’s demo tape.

You agreed, and when he saw the finished product, he almost teared up.

It was obvious to everyone except you two that there was something more going on.

You’d both find excuses to spend time together, always standing just a little too close, always teasing but never crossing the line.

You liked Eddie - a lot - but you were hesitant about the four-year age gap.

He was 20, and you were 24...

He was still figuring his life out, and you didn’t want to make things weird.

Eddie, however, definitely liked you, and he wasn’t subtle about it.

One night, after a Corroded Coffin gig, he found you in the crowd and confessed outright.

“Look, I know there’s an age thing, and I get it, I really do. But I don’t care. I like you, I really like you. And if you give me a chance, I’ll spend every damn day proving I’m worth your time.”

You hesitated, but the sincerity in his eyes (and the fact that you also really liked him) made your decision easy.

Eddie was the best kind of boyfriend: affectionate, playful, and always down for spontaneous adventures.

He would not shut up about you to anyone who would listen.

“Yeah, my girlfriend is a total badass, no big deal.”

Late-night drives blasting your favorite bands, playing horror movie marathons in the back of his van, and sneaking into abandoned places just for fun became your thing.

He wrote songs about you - some goofy, some heartfelt, all filled with admiration.

He loved watching you play bass, and if you ever wrote a song, he’d insist on adding it to their setlist.

If anyone ever underestimated you or mocked your passions, Eddie was the first to throw hands (aka aggressively roast them into silence).

You helped him decorate his room with vintage posters and DIY projects, making it feel extra chaotic but cozy.

He had a habit of twirling your hair around his fingers whenever he was deep in thought.

Eddie always brought you coffee or snacks when you had long shifts at the store.

He liked leaving little notes in your pockets or inside record sleeves at the store.

He constantly stole your hoodies and shirts, claiming they were “more comfortable” than his own.

Whenever you felt anxious, he’d just hold your hand, rubbing his thumb over your knuckles, grounding you without words.

If you ever got frustrated with a DIY project, he’d sit with you, figuring it out together - even if he was awful at it.

Your relationship was a perfect mix of chaos and comfort, filled with music, laughter, and two weirdos being unapologetically themselves.

~~~

Marvel;

Bucky Barnes -

When Bucky first moved into the Tower, most of the Avengers were wary of him.

You, however, had zero hesitation in defending him.

Pretending that Civil War didn't happen...

“If anyone has a problem with Bucky, they can take it up with me. And trust me, they don’t want to do that.”

Bucky was immediately intrigued by you.

You weren’t scared of him, and that alone meant more than he could say.

You had a dry wit that caught him off guard, and when you sarcastically referred to him as “Mr. Grumpy,” He actually laughed.

Slowly but surely, he started opening up to you, trusting you more than almost anyone else.

Steve was still number one, sorry.

You introduced Bucky to modern music, technology, and even internet icebergs - he had so many questions.

He found your hoarding of sentimental items endearing.

Whenever he had nightmares, you were the first person he sought out.

You never pried, just sat with him until he felt okay again.

You made it your mission to make him smile at least once a day, whether it was through bad jokes, playful teasing, or just being your adorably cursed self.

You were oblivious to Bucky’s growing feelings, but he definitely wasn’t.

He noticed every little thing - how your eyes lit up when you talked about music, how you’d absentmindedly hum when working on a project, how fiercely you protected the things and people you loved.

He never acted on it, afraid of ruining what you had, but the way he looked at you made it painfully obvious to everyone else.

It happened during a quiet night in the Tower.

You were both sitting on the balcony, sipping coffee, when he finally admitted it.

“I didn’t think I could have something good. But then there’s you.”

You were shocked, but when you saw how vulnerable he looked, your heart melted.

Bucky was the softest boyfriend.

Protective but never overbearing, always making sure you felt safe and cherished.

He was incredibly touch-starved, so he lived for casual touches - holding your hand, resting his head on your shoulder, wrapping his arms around you from behind.

He’d listen to you play bass for hours, completely mesmerized.

Your late-night talks became sacred.

He told you things he never told anyone else.

He always kept one of your DIY projects on him - something small, like a keychain or bracelet.

Lazy mornings with you curled up in his arms were his favorite.

You introduced him to horror movies, and he pretended not to be scared - but you totally caught him flinching once.

Your love was quiet but unshakable, built on trust, loyalty, and a deep understanding of each other.

~~~

Platonic;

~~~

Stranger Things;

Robin Buckley -

It all started when you wandered into Family Video to browse their horror movie selection.

Robin, always looking for someone who shares her love for weird films, immediately struck up a conversation.

Your mutual sarcasm and dry humor made it impossible not to become friends.

You’d exchange quips at the counter while she tried (and failed) to upsell you on late fees.

She definitely nicknamed you something ridiculous within five minutes of the meeting.

You started coming back to Family Video not just for movies but for Robin.

It became your unspoken tradition - picking a random film, watching it together, and mercilessly mocking it the entire time.

You two are the definition of chaos.

If someone hears laughing down the hall, they know it’s you two, plotting something ridiculous.

The mix of your playfulness and Robin’s motor-mouth energy makes for some of the most insane conversations.

You’ll go from discussing horror movies to debating if a cryptid could win a bass battle.

You both talk way too fast when excited, so sometimes it’s just high-speed rambling back and forth with no one really understanding, but somehow, you both get it.

Robin adores your bass skills and constantly insists you start a band together - even though she barely plays an instrument.

You’d both geek out over vintage music players, and she’d beg you to help her fix some old junk she found.

Any time you take on a new DIY project, she’s there making it 100 times harder but also 100 times funnier.

Your love for horror movies means weekly marathons.

Robin, however, screams at the jumpscares.

She keeps bugging you to teach her bass.

It always turns into her dramatically failing while you nearly cry laughing.

You leave her cryptic, sarcastic notes around Family Video whenever you visit.

She always retaliates with even weirder ones.

She is weirdly protective of you.

If anyone mocks your interests or underestimates you, she’s immediately roasting them into the ground.

Robin is your biggest hype woman.

If you ever feel insecure about your art or music, she forces you to believe in yourself (and threatens to physically fight any self-doubt).

You once had a bad day, and Robin showed up at your house with ice cream and a stupidly bad horror movie.

She wouldn’t let you sulk, and by the end of the night, you were both laughing until you couldn’t breathe.

~~~

Marvel;

Wanda Maximoff -

You met on a mission and immediately clicked.

While everyone else was strategizing, you cracked a joke that made Wanda actually laugh in the middle of a briefing.

That was the beginning of everything.

Your chaotic energy and her dry, sometimes dark humor meshed perfectly.

You both bonded over the ridiculousness of superhero life.

At first, you were both awkward about friendship.

You’d exchange nods after missions, casual small talk… But then one day, Wanda just teleported into your room with popcorn, declaring it ‘movie night.’

No explanation.

Friendship established.

People often wonder how you function because one of you is always half-jokingly suggesting something absurd, and the other just goes along with it.

While Wanda can be quiet at times, you pull her out of her shell effortlessly.

You ramble?

She listens with a smirk, waiting to tease you about the most ridiculous thing you said.

She adores your music.

She likes to sit on the floor and listen to you play bass, occasionally using her magic to make the notes float around in glowing shapes.

You exchange playlists constantly.

Unlike Robin, Wanda doesn’t get scared - she just critiques the monster designs while you argue about how realistic they are.

You help her train in hand-to-hand combat, and she helps you sharpen your reflexes.

It usually devolves into somebody getting thrown across the room.

But in a nice way.

You once tried to cook together, but it ended in a minor kitchen fire.

Wanda now just uses magic to make things float while you work, so it’s less chaotic.

If you ever get anxious, Wanda subtly uses her magic to send calming waves toward you.

She never says anything about it - she just wants you to feel okay.

Wanda will hex anyone who interrupts you when you’re talking.

She won’t say a word - just a flick of her fingers, and suddenly the interrupter forgets what they were saying, but they'll remember later.

If you ever feel underestimated, she reminds you how capable you are.

“They don’t know what you’re capable of,” She’ll say, smirking like she knows a secret. "You're pretty amazing."

music commentary #2: kitty dreams of dying cell

aka i don't think i've ever made a song that makes me feel this many emotions

my motivation to start this song mostly came from my frustration at Another song (super bomb death) that i'm working on not shaping up. so basically I started it because i wanted to work on something new that wouldn't melt my brain like super bomb death is for some reason. so now we're here

hmm... i guess the next thing i want to talk about is the instrument choice in this song. i tried to pick instruments that sounded very dream-like or muffled, because this song is about a dream, so there's a lotta echo and reverb here!! the first instrument that plays especially carries that "unsettling dream" vibe i think... the instrument choice in this song was probably also pretty heavily influenced by these two songs that i've been listening to recently (this and this), i've been listening to them and thinking that i want to make something that sounds like that another fun fact about the instruments: the section at the end that uses the original instruments from the two songs this is a mashup of... i had to remake those instruments by hand. because beepbox instruments don't copy over to ultrabox. it was a little bit of a struggle

i'll talk about the story i intended for this next! it's a mashup of "somnolent apoptosis" and "greetings from kitty city" so it involves two characters from those songs. basically the kitty character is having a dream about the cell character, and everything is fine and good until it turns into a nightmare when the cell dies. (somnolent apoptosis, the song the cell character originates from, means "sleepy cell death" in simpler terms. the song is about the cell feeling indifferent towards their own death, so i figured it would be fitting for them to die in this song as dark as that is) the vhs filter part afterwards represents the kitty reminiscing about the better part of the dream where the cell was alive... then the visuals go black to represent the kitty transitioning from being asleep to Awake, and when it wakes up, it kind of sleepily realizes it had been crying

needless to say, this song makes me feel a lot of things. it makes me very Sad. it makes me feel unsettled and afraid and paranoid. it makes me feel pretty emotional. more than my other songs? i'm glad i did more work on the visuals besides one drawing... i think even the tiny amount of work i put into them does a lot to tell the story i didn't really intend for this song to Scare me as much as it does, i only wanted it to be unsettling and not scary... but it does scare me... i kind of wish i had worked on this song during the day and not in the middle of the night because the vibes and darkness of nighttime tend to amplify any fear i'm feeling... i'm glad my own music can make me feel something this strongly though because i think that means it's good. still, this song instills a sense of fear in me that none of my other music has

erm... what else to say... Visuals of the song... the background of the main drawing of the song has the art of somnolent apoptosis and greetings from kitty city overlayed and distorted and stuff... the "doodle" type things floating around the characters are meant to represent the things in the kitty's life that are typically apart of its dreams

these are other kitties/members of its species

this is a yarn ball

this is a bag of food

these are fish/fish toys

and here is an example of how all of them look normally. they look distorted and messed up because that's what happens to stuff in dreams, their structure is mostly right but things are definitely off

also this is MEANT to look like a nonsense inscription but it actually says something. I'm not sure how obvious it is that it isn't nonsense... but it actually says "no my friend"

What I don't like: I don't like that this song makes me feel as scared as it does... that wasn't the intention. i think it's a little TOO unsettling and scary, especially the second drawing. i genuinely don't like looking at that picture, like i would prefer to listen to the song in the background instead of looking at that. i didn't even know i was capable of scaring myself like this LOL

What I like: uhhh besides the actual paranoia this song has instilled in me tonight it's pretty good! I like this song. I think the story comes across pretty clear. i like the vhs filter i applied as well, i think i should use the effects my video editor has more often. somehow the timing isn't horribly off like it was in nightmare in dreamland so that's good

4/26

song of the day:

today wasn’t so bad y’all. I actually found it pretty nice. I talked to js about all my friends and found out so many things.

today there was like a fight in the locker room and I was like omg…. I didn’t know the girls involved personally but there was like pepper spray and stuff involved. it was crazy. anyways. I learned how to officially use a sewing machine!!!! I tend to forget about the presser foot sometimes and I think that’s what messes me up the most. in second period we had a sub and he was kinda mean. he was chill mostly but like js another white man. he kinda looks like the guy for terminator. but the best was lunch tbh. my dad brought me chinese food from one of my fav places and I was so happy. I shared with my friends and we talked shit. in third it was basically the same thing. talking shit and eating. and I love my friends in that class and we feel really close at times but then their other friends come in and they up and leave and i’m js there like :( I don’t really care ik that there closer with them but they js leave. it’s whatever though. this time they included me in the convo!!! in fourth we had a sub too and she’s pretty chill cause she’s older. I only made like 4 plates this week when I was supposed to make 6 sooo erm. i’m js so tired of that class. like I love it it’s fun but I don’t have friends so it’s boring. anyways me and my mom were supposed to go to the school musical tonight but she got sick so we couldn’t. it’s whatever though cause we’re going tmrw night.

anyways. I watched millers girl and it really got me thinking. like ofc it’s bad if an older man takes advantage of a young girl. but I would never actually get with my tc. like that’s all pure fantasy. and I think people misunderstand that about having tcs. like most will never do anything about it since their tcs have like family’s and wife’s. mines pretty young so he hasn’t settled down and there’s that little hope of “oh i have a chance” but also like… girl wtf. like I said. it’s all a fantasy. but speaking of mr c. I only saw him once today wtf. and I didn’t even see him fully!!! he was coming out of the staff bathroom and looked my way (I was being loud asf) and I was talking to my friend about it like. i’m almost done with school. I graduate in a year. it’s whatever if I have a crush on him. it’s not like i’m gonna act on it. there’s times I wish I would but ik I shouldn’t and won’t.

anyways that other guy I had a crush on. man he’s being a bitch. he’s my friend and I love him. but he got a gf YESTERDAY and he’s like ignoring our friends. he’s been acting weird all day but jeez. and the girl he’s dating is nice. like i’ve had classes with her she’s chill. but he’s being like weird. I miss him. ik that he’s better mentally now more than ever. but I miss who he was before he lost his old friends and started dating her. but alas, there’s not much I can do.

now, i’ve had a crush on this guy, i’ll call him coco, since october. I don’t even know how it happened. I had 2 classes with him last semester and I didn’t even notice him till after fall break. he came to school with this hair cut and I was like omg… and I started to develop a crush on him before break. like the week leading up to it. I remember during a kahoot for history he took my spot at the top of the board and I went “who tf is coco?!?” (like the one tiktok but his real name yk) and my friend was like “that one in the corner” and I was like oh okay…;). and it kinda js took off from there. I spent 3 months like just crushing on him like crazy. I would answer questions and try and be funny out loud so that he would see me. but it has not worked. and i’m scared to talk to him. he’s like kinda weird tbh. but that’s for another time. I was scared since I didn’t have any classes with him for second semester but also glad since i could get over my crush. then the first day of the semester came. and I didn’t have a second period. so I talked to my councilor and she’s like oh let’s put u in second period english. i’m like yayaya cause it’s with a teacher I love. so I walk into class and i’m smiling and then boom. he’s right there. wtf bro bro. it was cool though cause all my friends are in that class too. my crush for him is still there but it’s slowing going away. I think everything he’s said about anything has just made me want to throw up. but he’s so pretty. like ugh. he doesn’t smile all the often and ugh. he’s so cute when he does. there’s this pic of his freshman year where he is trying to smile with his teeth but he’s like forcing it so he js looks goofy. I love it though he’s so cute like:(((((( but im never gonna tell him. i’d rather die actually. which it why i’m gonna go to bed.

Heart of the Weave - chapter 15

Nobody tells you how quickly time flies by when you’re a parent. Jenevelle is already three months old, and she’s been nothing short of a miracle in our lives. She’s still so small yet so full of life; full of smiles and laughter throughout the days, and hardly cries. Gale and I finally have her transitioned to her room in her crib now, which was so hard – not for her, but for me. Having her in the bassinet by our bed gave me a sense of comfort, knowing I could easily check up on her and make sure she’s breathing. On another note, I’m grateful for our friends, but especially since she’s been born. Karlach will come and babysit once or twice a month while Gale and I go out and have a night to ourselves, which has been so nice. At first, it was an adjustment leaving her for the first time, but I’m glad we are able to get a break every once in a while.

The morning sun rises, and I notice Gale isn’t in bed with me. He does like to wake up rather early and enjoy the dawn, drinking his warm coffee and watching the sun rise. That’s when he has his best ideas for research. I get out of bed and notice Gale on the balcony, where he’s holding Jenevelle and they’re both enjoying the outside world.

“Ah, there’s my love,” Gale says, smiling as I sit down next to him. He leans in for a kiss as the morning sunlight pours over our skin. “Good morning. I hope I didn’t wake you.”

“No, of course not. I was just ready to get up and start my day. I’m glad you are both having a quiet morning.” He gently bounces Jenevelle in his arm and takes a sip of his morning coffee with the other.

“Indeed. I’m just happy you got to sleep in some. I got so much done this morning. I had some sort of…morning epiphany that caused me to wake up and get a jumpstart on the day. I did some of my studies, made breakfast for us, which is sitting on the kitchen table by the way, and I got Jenevelle up, dressed, and fed…” As he continues to speak, I can’t help but admire him. “...and I just wanted to make your morning a little easier since I don’t teach today.” His brown eyes shimmer, transitioning into a tint of golden honey as the sun shines upon his face at a perfect angle.

“I appreciate you and how considerate you are. I truly love you more than words can define,” I tell him as I stretch my body, releasing all tensions held within me. He smiles, trying to fight that cute chuckle he always does.

“Thank you. That means the world to me. I love you too.” As we sit here enjoying the peace, the gentle breeze of Waterdeep air brushes the messy hair out of my face. As I look down at the town square below us, I see there’s a festival going on with various vendors and some bards playing some tunes for a large crowd. I actually notice Shadowheart, believe it or not, and it’s as if she’s looking for something in particular. She’s probably doing some shopping. I’m thinking about going down and buying Jenevelle a crochet owlbear or maybe a quilted blanket.

“Are you thinking about the festival?” Gale asks, studying my face.

“Erm, no…”

“You want to go, don’t you?” I laugh lightly, but then hide it with a fake cough. Is it silly for a grown woman to want to go to a fun festival?

“Can we?” He smiles and hands the baby over to me as he stands up from his seat.

“Of course. Let me go get dressed and we can head out. I’m going to avoid a robe this time, just in case some of my students are there. As much as I enjoy discussing the physics of magic and teaching others how to perform it correctly, I’d rather spend my time with my family enjoying the beauty of Waterdeep and its festivities.”

While Gale goes inside to get ready, I continue to observe the happy crowds from above; people casually dancing to the music, live entertainment of a comedic orc doing stand up, and of course delicious food. Mmmm. I can smell funnel cakes from up here.

We head down to the fun market area for the festival and notice various shops and vendors on every corner throughout the square. So many children are running around playing, eating, and having fun. I almost can’t wait until Jenevelle is walking and can enjoy fun events like this, playing with other children. For now, I have her wrapped in the baby carrier attached to my body, curled up and comfortable as we stroll the calming streets of Waterdeep.

“What a perfect day for such a festival. I clearly don’t get out enough, I feel like I haven’t seen any signs anywhere,” I say, observing the exciting area around us. I do notice a few clowns around us, which immediately brings flashbacks of Dribbles the Clown back at Baldur’s Gate, except we killed him and he was actually a shapeshifter. Long story short, he and several other shapeshifters were sent by Orin to murder me. Now that I look back on it, I feel honored to be such a threat to her.

“Oh, I have a slight inkling this was all planned last minute,” Gale says, chuckling. “Nonetheless, it’s fun to get out and enjoy this time together.”

We grab food and sit down at the music event, where three high elf bards are performing some new music I haven’t heard of before, but they’re pretty good! As we’re watching the concert, I hear my name nearby by a familiar voice – Shadowheart, perhaps? I turn around and notice her approaching us, and she sits down next to me. She has a bag full of items she bought from the various shops and vendors.

“Shadowheart?”

“I know I live like, two blocks down from you, but I saw you two walking and wanted to…give the baby a gift. But then I lost you when I spotted you both at the festival. I didn’t want to interrupt any future plans you might have later, so I figured I’d come by now.” She hands me an adorable pink owlbear plush from her bag, which is almost as big as Jenevelle herself. “The pink owlbear was the last one left. Since I don’t have children yet, I figured I’d spoil your little one while I still can.” I smile, taking the owlbear plush from her.

“Wow, this…is so kind. Thank you.”

“You want children, Shadowheart?” Gale asks. “Man, I wish I knew that earlier. We’d have asked you to babysit if you ever wanted to get the feel of parenthood.”

“I… I do. Now that our adventures are in the past, I’m in a comfortable position where I know I could be a mother. I would adopt, however.”

“A very kind and selfless choice.” I don’t know why but it surprises me that she wants to be a mother. I never got that vibe from her, but I do recall her saying right before fighting the elder brain that she ‘wants to have children once this is all over.’

“Definitely come by when you can. If you’re free tomorrow, maybe you can come by and we can have some tea or coffee while Gale is teaching?” She smiles with pure delight, as if she’s excited to hang out with me for the first time in a few weeks. I don’t know why we don’t get together more often.

“I’d like that. I’ll see you tomorrow then. I better go grab Astarion before he commits some heinous acts in the middle of the square.”

Gale and I shop around, getting new handmade clothes for Jenevelle and various fruits, vegetables, and other ingredients so I can bake a yummy dessert. Baking is one of my specialties, after all. After soaking in the sun partaking in a lovely little family venture, we head home due to Jenevelle getting fussy. However, we get home to put her down for a nap and she is screaming inconsolably. What we thought was her being tired is actually fear; something is causing her to feel sudden fear.

After about thirty minutes of her lying on my bare chest, she calms down and falls asleep. This was unusual behavior for her, especially since she hardly cries, but I’m glad she’s doing alright now.

“My head is throbbing from the screaming. I can’t imagine how she was feeling. I do hope she’s okay,” Gale says, carefully eyeing our sleeping baby as she sleeps in her crib.

“Me too. Maybe she’s just exhausted? Teething? Growing pains?” We watch her sleep peacefully in her crib for a moment, then head down to the living area to relax for about an hour or two. We plop down on the violet velvet sofa next to each other, curled up in a cuddling position. I’m worried about Jenevelle, but I’m sure I’m just being paranoid.

“You might be right about her possibly having pains of some sort, but part of me believes something else is going on. Maybe she saw something that frightened her. Poor baby,” Gale says, followed with a sigh. “I hate feeling daunting like this, but that must be part of being a parent, hm?” He kisses the side of my head for a couple seconds straight, one of the various affections I adore. “I love you. I think we’re doing pretty well as new parents.” I look up at him with my dark brown eyes, staring directly into his as we snuggle closely.

“I love you too. So much. And I couldn’t agree more.

My love for him gets stronger by the minute every day. It seems like just yesterday I was pulling him out of a portal within a rock and we had an awkward introduction. Look where that unusual encounter got us! I suddenly remember that Karlach is supposed to come over tonight to watch Jenevelle while Gale and I attend our monthly date night.

“Oh damn, I forgot we were going out tonight. My mom brain sure shows its true colors now,” I mentioned.

“Do you want to cancel?”

“No, no, it’s okay. Jenevelle will adore seeing aunty Karlach.” I really try not to cancel our date nights since we don’t have them too often; however, Gale’s mom is coming down in two weeks so we may get another one then. She’s been dying to hold and babysit our little girl.

“Good. I look forward to our evening together.”

I smile as I watch the glowing sun set from our living room window, thinking how blessed I truly am. Life is finally perfect again.

what if looney toons peter lorre met slappy

Oh that's easy! I'd simply pass way

Jk jk but ohhhh!! Finally! I can use my book of notes for this! Because as of late I've been blowing off energy writing about slappy and where specifically other peter lorre parodies in cartoons came from + roles he played that contributed most to the typical lorre caricature we have in mind that so often shows up in media. Also because slappy only has small cameos and stuff and this is how I get more content lol *snorts some slapcrack*

Okay! But there is noticeable differences between the typical looney tunes lorre characters. There's 5 looney tunes shorts I've seen so far with some type of lorre character. Two with a mad scientist-esque character and one with a gangster, some with some dude Mr. Greenstreet (ha get it? Get it?) who's obsessed with new tastes (get this man some 🐔), and one where it's just himself along with other parodies of Hollywood stars. There's also his appearence in tinytoons where he was an evil train conductor named boxcars. There's more but that's all I've seen so far.

Though I think we'll stick with mad scientist lorre because he appeared twice in the original plus had a little comeback in the movie looney tunes back in action. Also they've got an official name! Dr. Lorre 👀

I know for SURE they would've wanted experimented on my boy slappy. A talking fish? How could they resist? Maybe they'll finally find his wishbone?

Of course they wouldn't be getting it easy. While I don't see slappy really fighting. He has his way of getting around (his mysterious transportation onto that stunt ride mobility scooter in Pat-a-thon or him just there watching pat through the window in lost in couch) he just shows up and disappears. Not to mention, in actual trouble. He can manage via unorthodox methods (stair wars) Ngl I wish I could settle all feuds like this lol

Also slappy seems to have a very small (but very much there) awareness that he's a weirdo/people find him creepy. He doesn't seem to mind. But can also easily do what he can to make people further repulsed by him. (I assumed so from his first episode and lost in couch but now I am certain in the halloween special)

Who would win? Will it be a battle to the death? Err no. The scientist ones has one detail that Slappy doesn't have. The thing about how a lot of peter lorre characters are depressed and tortured. Dealing with inner demons ans suffering from loneliness and thus are unable to control their actions. Which sounds dramatic but a staple trait to add to any of your Lorre inspired characters 👀 (like for an example, I just finished watching The Stranger On the Third Floor. Peter Lorre plays a criminal, in the final scene talking to a lady and said the only one who's ever been nice to him was a lady, and that he doesn't have any friends. He's clearly sad. But he's a killer who's been slashing people's throats. It should've been obvious. Still I think it was mcstinking cute!)

Anyways they don't get why people turn away from them while doing horrible things that make people run away in fear.

Which is something the looneytunes lorre characters have that slappy doesn't. Slappy is pretty happy go lucky. He's certainly weird but doesn't mind it at all. He enjoys things his own way and is friendly (to the best of his abilities) I mean look how Unbothered he is!!

I can see slappy befriending the looneytunes lorre characters. He's the only one I can see that wouldn't judge them for their heinous actions and would probably be the most understanding. Eh, knowing them, they'd still probably try to steal his wishbone but it wouldn't bother him much.

Now I can really see them having almost like a group session where they're talking about their feelings and slappy is just there listening xD slappy is the least likeliest to make a therapist but also probably the best..?

Why do I kinda feel like he'd find their heinous acts amusing? He loves a good failure after all. Probably listening to how they let people come to their untimely demise is to him like listening to how people failed to keep their lives? Perhaps for his own macarbe amusement? Or maybe it's just innocent curiousity? Or maybe he genuinely wants to help? Who knows.

Thank you so so much for this ask! It was such a joy to answer! I really enjoyed it since I got to infodump about slappy/lorre!! Which is always such a treat. But fr I mean it! I'd ramble on and on if ya didn't stop me so it's nice to know someone enjoys listening about it!!☺💖💖

High school sweethearts x Billy Hargrove x female reader

7 years after everyone left Hawkins high, Jonathan and Nancy hosted a reunion for the old gang. The last time they saw you was during your rocky relationship with Billy during high school, now 7 years have passed and the question on everyone’s lips is ‘are you two still together?”

Warnings: alcohol, the reader and Billy having a slightly toxic relationship in high school, the starcourt mall incident is mentioned in detail

A/N: I’ve received my first request, I hope that you enjoy it. They requested a fic where Billy and the reader use to fight a lot in high school, there’s a reunion and the reader shows up pregnant and married to Billy, Dustin teases Steve as he used to have a crush on you. I had so much fun writing this. I’m from the U.K. sorry if it sounds overly British in some parts. Apologies for all spelling and grammatical mistakes as I’m super dyslexic, enjoy

Johnathan passed a glass of Chardonnay towards Nancy who was sat on their worn out brown leather couch, deeply engaged in her conversation with Robin.

Robin grew her hair down to her shoulders since she graduated Hawkins high, choosing to run as far away from Hawkins as she possibly could, but on her salary it wasn’t very far. She lived with her girlfriend Vicki in a suburban neighbourhood, with one of those white picket fence and all that other bullshit you see in Hollywood movies, only instead of kids they were the proud parents of a grey tabby cat called Freddy. Their neighbours adored them both, but then again Vicki knew that the way to peoples hearts was through their stomachs and her homemade brownies was a sure hit. Their neighbours claimed that they envied their friendship for they were as close as close can be, which caused Robin to splutter out brownie crumbs over Mrs Robinson’s pearly white table cloth. Robin was glad that she could live out the rest of her days surrounded by the woman she loved, far enough so that her parents don’t catch them two in a compromising position for robin’s parents seriously lacked boundaries, but near enough so she could visit (annoy) Steve.

“Thanks babe” Nancy smiled taking the glass from Jonathan’s hands, placing a tender kiss on his cheek.

The light caught the shiny stone that was placed upon her left hand, it shone brightly on the silver band it was situated upon.

“Jonathan it was about time, you had no idea how many nights I heard Nance complain about the lack of ring on her finger-“ Robin’s words that clearly didn’t pass through the filter that laid between her brain and her mouth, was cut short by Nancy shushing her cringing as her cheeks flushed scarlet red.

“Oh was she now?” He questioned, sitting beside his fiancé placing his arm around her shoulder, smirking as he brought his beer bottle to his lips.

“Erm” Robin stuttered bringing her own beer to her mouth to stop her from landing herself into more hot water.

“This dude” Argyle laughed patting Jonathan too hard on the back that it made his beer slosh around in its bottle, which caused Nancy to momentarily glare at Argyle for the last thing she wanted right now was to scrub out a beer stain from her cream carpet.

“This dude had that pretty little diamond ring kept away in his closet for months, like honestly I’m not even engaged to the beautiful Nance but I was freaking the fuck out, if he wasn’t going to ask her I felt like I should”

“Dude!”

Argyle held his hands up in defence, while Jonathan buried his head within his slightly regretting ask Argyle to be his best man.

Argyle still worked at surfer boy’s pizza but this time he was promoted to manager. Argyle liked a stress free simple life, as long as he had enough money to pay his bills and to buy weed he couldn’t be happier, plus he had access to all the pizza he could eat.

The Byers/ Wheelers high school reunion wasn’t supposed to be about their engagement but when Jonathan took his damn time to pop the question, the events almost intertwined.

“I mean it could be worse, you could be a certain you know who” Robin added swigging her bottle back, she choked on the liquid as she realised what she had just said. Her and her stupid mouth

“Robin!” Nancy hissed at her friend

——————————————————————————

Yours and Billy’s relationship throughout high school was rocky to say the least, in fact it was turbulent. You two were both at each other’s throats, it was if you both made a game who would piss each other off the most. The amount of times you both called it quits only to wind up in each other’s beds and arms a few days later, it was nauseating to witness the dizzy game of back and forth between you both.

“Are you fucking kidding me right now!” You screamed, your eyes narrowing capturing Billy in a deathly glare, your nostrils flaring as you tried not to act upon your instinct to punch him right in his fucking perfect face

The cheerleader who was momentarily against his side scurried off not wanting to be caught in the crossfire of your fiery argument.

“It’s not what you think princess”

“Oh really? Then enlighten me Billy, why the fuck was Sophie just hanging off your arm!” You spat glaring daggers into his skin.

“You’re being over dramatic princess-“

“Oh I’m being over dramatic! Fuck you Billy we’re over!” You shrieked throwing the necklace that he brought you on your one year anniversary at his feet. You turned your back to him with tears burning at your eyes threatening to spill.

Robin placed her arm around you dragging you away before you did something you’d regret, but she wouldn’t of blamed you if you planted a punch against his jaw.

“Y/N” billy called after you

“You dare step a foot near her again you’re fucking dead!” Nancy threatened turning on her heels, walking towards Robin who was comforting a very distressed Y/N.

That weekend was spent crying your eyes out on Nancy’s bed, while the girls did their best to comfort you, trying their hardest to conceal the fact that they were secretly overjoyed that you two had called it quits. Just hoping that it was for real this time.

‘Y/N you left your - oh you’ve got to be kidding me!” Nancy groaned upon seeing the all too familiar boy kissing you passionately in the parking lot

Robin gritted her teeth in such a force it was surprising that her jaw didn’t shatter upon impact, trying her hardest to conceal her frustration.

They both loved you dearly but seeing you back in the arms of that jerk really pushed their patience . Like the past weekend that they had just spent picking up the pieces he left meant nothing.

“I’m done with him and I mean it”

“Honey I love you but you say this every single time” Nancy groaned placing a soggy cafeteria fry into her mouth.

“I agree with Nance, Y/N he treats you like shit! You’re a beautiful girl who deserves the world and someone who can adore the ground you walk upon. But honey he isn’t it, I know you love him but you have to call it quits” Robin pitifully smiled towards your direction as she awkwardly rubbed her hand against your back. Really she wanted to scream at you to ditch the loser but she was trying her damn hardest to bite her tongue

—————————————————————————

“Y/N is coming tonight, dude you have to say something to her” Dustin suggested taking a long sip of his beer

“Okay A, it’s still weird that you can drink now! And B, okay just because she’s coming doesn’t mean that’s she’s available. I mean have you seen how attached at the hip she was with billy?”

“You’re kidding right? Hello her and Billy were arguing so much to the point that we all had to take a trip to the nurses office with our killer headaches. She’s now 27 I doubt she has the time for his immature bullshit. So what do you say king Stevie, you ready to save your princess from her tower?” Eddie smirked, elbowing Steve in his ribs while Dustin laughed at the sudden change in colour in Steve’s cheeks

“Shut up” Steve mumbled taking a swig from his bottle, suddenly finding the floor very fascinating to look at. Wishing that the floor would open up a wormhole that would swallow him whole, away from his friends who are finding enjoyment in his embarrassment.

“Aww is Stevie blushing?”

“You have it so hard for her” Dustin snorted which was soon cut short by Steve’s death stare

“I hate you both” he groaned rolling his eyes at the two men in front of him.

“One Rocky road please” ordered a radiant Y/N, she look awe inspiringly beautiful with her cherry coloured lips.

Steve was freaking the fuck out, I mean it’s Y/N for Christ sake. The same girl from his English class who looked effortlessly beautiful without her trying, it’s like she never had a bad day even if she tried. Now she was inches away from him, damn scoops ahoy for making him where this damn sailor suit.

“The lady has great taste” smirked Steve trying his best at being flirtatious, despite Robin telling him that his attempt of a smoulder made him look constipated.

You took the cone from his hands, about to reach into your pocket for the cash to pay-

“It’s on the house”

“Oh thanks” you smiled in disbelief over this kind gesture “you’re Steve right? I’m Y/N we have English together”

“That we do” you turned to leave, smiling at him again to thank him for the free ice cream. He watched you go cursing himself for not plucking up the courage to ask for your number, Robin is definitely going to add a line on the ‘you suck’ tally, Steve swears that he can already hear her laughing at his misfortune.

Steve felt his heart drop as he watched you from the parlour window. As who should place their arm around your shoulder? No other than Billy Hargrove, Steve’s worst enemy in the whole of Hawkins high. The one who took his keg king title away from him but now his crush too!

Steve could feel the anger burning his skin as he watched the blonde haired boy placing a kiss on your lips.

Damn you Billy Hargrove!

So Steve admired you from afar, every time he saw you walk into class wearing Billy’s jacket with a turtleneck that rolled down slightly when you leant forward revealing a hickey, feeling like a bullet to his heart as he wish it was him taking you out on dates marking your skin to show everyone that you’re his. From the fiery arguments he overheard in the halls and the time you showed up to scoops ahoy with mascara staining your cheeks while Robin comforted you in the stock room. He knew one thing, that you were too good for an asshole like Billy.

But nothing could prepare Steve for seeing you both at prom. You and Billy looked vomit inducingly cute, you wore a scarlet floor length silk dress that complimented your every curve, while Billy wore a shirt in the same colour with most of the buttons undone showing off his rippling abs. Your wrist adorned a corsage of red roses and the ring on your finger caught the light like a disco ball. Showing off to the whole school your promise ring, that you are his and wanted to spend the rest of your life with him and only him, no matter how much of the school didn’t believed in your relationship, but you did and that’s all that matters.

His arms wrapped around your waist while you had yours tightly wrapped around his shoulders, your bodies pressed close together, holding each other close while you swayed to a slow song. Soft smiles spreading across your faces.

This killed Steve as he watched from the ends of the room, watching you be happy with him was torture. But if you were happy that was all that matters, and maybe he could be happy to accept that too?

When Steve graduated his parents brought him a house on the outskirts of town, he still continued to work at family video. Steve didn’t need to work with the whole rich parent thing, but he enjoyed the routine of his job and it was a chance to flirt (failing to do so) with the customers as his quest to find someone still continues. Yes he had a few flings here and there but with his disaster of his dating life he was starting to question if love was for him.

He busied himself in his work and keeping his the friendships he made . He had Robin who practically was still attached at his hip, they had regular movie nights ending up in too much beer, getting unbelievably drunk

and him having to apologise to Vicki for having to pick up her very drunken girlfriend. Steve regularly visited Eddie at the hideout not missing a single concert, corroded coffin was really taking off, attracting a large audience and last time Steve heard they were in talks with an agent. And Dustin practically lived at his when he visited from college in the holidays .

Steve must admit it felt weird standing in the kitchen of his ex girlfriend’s house who’s now engaged to someone who once had beaten him up, but when you have spent the last few years hunting down monsters most only believed exist in fiction, weird felt almost like the norm to him.

Mike and Will stood engaged in conversation leaning against a wall, Mike throwing the occasional glance to his girlfriend El who sat in the corner playing with Jonathan’s and Nancy’s puppy Lilly. For the party was getting a little too overwhelming for her and she decided that dogs were better than people, smiling at the small bundle of fluff that was curled up in her lap. Since she left Hawkins she finally felt at peace with her powers after gaining them back and not having a monster wanting to kill her for them nearly every year, and Mike became better at communicating his love for her and never fails to remember to add ‘love Mike’ at the end of all of his letters.

Max arrived to the party with Lucas following behind her, Lucas gave his girlfriend a quick kiss on the cheek before greeting Mike and Will.

“I missed you” El beamed at Max as she slid down next to her handing her a can of soda. Popping the tab and taking a long sip. Max and El were the only sober ones of the party for El didn’t like the taste and disliked the way it made her feel, and Max refused to touch the stuff after the way her mom used to drink herself to sleep. Max recently got her license so she was more than happy to be her boyfriend’s designated driver.

“You too el” max smiled scratching the pup behind the ears that slept peacefully on El’s lap.

—————————————————————————

The clock read out 7pm you were officially an hour late. Everyone was starting to become increasingly concerned that you weren’t going to show.

Nancy and Robin felt a small pang of guilt eating away at them slowly for losing contact with you over the years. Not that it was intentional, when you left for college and then moved house as soon as you graduated they forgotten your number. It wasn’t till Nancy saw Max at the grocery store not long returning from college , she asked about you and Max said that she still had your number.

Maybe you hated her for loosing contact with you, believing it to be personal and didn’t want to show?

The knock at the door brought the pair out of their guilt induced downwards spiral.

Racing towards the door the women practically threw themselves towards the wooden frame, squealing in delight as if they were still in high school. Their old best friend was behind the door and they couldn’t wait to catch up with you over the years they had missed. Wondering if anything has changed, maybe you dyed your hair or got that tattoo you were always talking about?

Flinging open the door the two gasped when they saw you

“Oh my god congratulations!” Nancy screamed out in excitement seeing your stomach that was carrying your second child. Pregnancy suited you for you were practically glowing, you looked happy and they couldn’t be happier for you as you deserved that over your shitty high school experience.

“Thank you” you chuckled as Robin enclosed you in such a tight embrace you momentarily struggled to breathe.

“Robin careful of the baby!” Nancy scoffed slightly slapping Robin’s arm as she finally let you breathe

“I missed you guys”

“And we missed you, we promise that we’re never going to lose touch again. I’m going to be the best auntie Robin to your child” Robin joked, you couldn’t help but beam with joy at your old friends.

It has been 7 years since you last saw them both, but at this moment in time it was like you were all transported to the good old high school days. It felt like nothing had changed when so much had.

“So who’s the lucky guy?”

“My husband-“

“You’re married!” Nancy gasped, a small part of her was disappointed that she wasn’t able to attend it, but you were here now and could hopefully be able to attend hers.

“Auntie Max” called out a childlike voice, as a small girl ran into the house towards where Max was sitting

“Hey tiger” Max smiled picking up the girl and twirling her around in the air, smiling adoringly at the girl who was letting out high pitch squeals of laughter.

Wait auntie Max? That means? Wait what?

Robin and Nancy exchanged perplexed looks, their brows furrowed heavily as they tried to process what they just heard.

The commotion attracted the attention of the three men in the kitchen, who all looked just as bewildered as Robin and Nancy. That means that you’re still together with Billy, you were actually married to him and not only had one child with him but two!

It really should be obvious as little Kelly had the same sandy messy curls as her farther, completed with his piercing ocean eyes. But everything else resembled about her a mini you, for she shared your nose and face shape, she was the perfect combination of you both.

“No fucking way” Eddie whispered with wide eyes as Billy appeared from behind you gently kissing you on the cheek.

Billy hadn’t aged a day since he graduated high school, you both packed and moved to California where he worked part time as a mechanic at the local garage, and weekends he taught people how to surf. Determined to provide enough for his family and to be the farther he never had to Kelly and to baby Dean who was on the way.

While you taught English at a high school, quickly becoming your students favourite, as they said in their own words that you made the boring dusty books that the curriculum required you to teach actually fun. Well at least you did before you took maternity leave, now you were back in Hawkins to stay with Max and Lucas for a few days which subsequently led you to be invited to the Byers and Wheelers high school reunion.

You felt the anxiety bringing up the bile up your throat on the car ride there, every little thing was making you nauseous nowadays. Last week it was Billy’s cologne which ended up with him buying a new one which didn’t make you want to projectile vomit all over the place, pregnancy was the most rewarding and yet the worst thing you ever had to experience. All you wanted was the chance to be able to not have these raging headaches and to relax with a glass of wine sitting in your favourite jeans before they stopped fitting you.

“It’s going to be okay” Billy soothed placing his hand on your thigh rubbing small circles to calm your racing mind, which felt like it was racing at a dizzying fast speed.

“I love you”

“Love you too princess”

——————————————————————————

Robin, Nancy, Eddie, Steve and Dustin all gathered in the doorway between the lounge and the kitchen all looking at Billy in complete bewilderment. From what they last remembered of Billy was that he was quite possibly biggest asshole that they ever had the displeasure to have met, a rude, arrogant dick who had a habit of hurting their friend at any given opportunity. Now he was sitting on the couch with the three year old on his knee, she was giggling at her farther as he was dancing her bear in front of her face talking in silly made up voices. Safe to say that they were all utterly speechless, who would of thought that Billy Hargrove would be such a doting farther?

Kelly was very shy over so many new faces, so she wanted to be close to her dad. She definitely was a daddy’s girl.

“Hey” Argyle softly spoke capturing the three year olds attention, she looked at the new face with a timid smile. Argyle has a warming loveable presence which enticed the small child. “I’m Argyle what’s your name sweetie?”

“Kelly” she spoke shyly

“What a rad name”

In a few minutes Argyle pretty much adopted her like he was her fun uncle, leaving Billy and Y/N to actually catch up with the people attending the party.

—————————————————————————-

Having your body controlled and your life nearly snatched away in a matter of seconds made Billy realise a lot of things. One of them was that he couldn’t lose you, for you are the best thing to have ever happen to him. He acted like a dick to you but in reality he was scared of how much he loved you, it was easier for Billy to turn to his default setting of anger rather than to show this foreign emotion that felt almost uncomfortable to show.

But seeing you clutch his body so close to your heart that felt like it was breaking as each second passed by. You thought that you were going to lose the love of your life.

“Don’t you dare leave me, hang on baby please” you begged, your voice breaking into a strangled cry. Not caring that his blood was staining your clothes, for you needed to hold him close to you. Praying to whoever was listening to save him for you couldn’t live if he was gone.

They say that before you die your whole life flashes before your eyes, Billy saw all the times he hurt you, all the tears he made you cry over the way he treated you. He couldn’t let you have these memories of him to live on when he was long gone, deciding in that moment when his lungs tightened slowing down his breathing, if he was going to make it he was going to do whatever it takes to make things right as he couldn’t lose you.

Billy started to break down his many walls that protected his damaged heart around you, he started to communicate his feelings and not hold them in till they burst out and he says something that he later regretted. Once he was out of the hospital he started to see the school counselor, he begrudgingly dragged his ass their every week, he hated attending every damn session where he was forced to talk about his shitty upbringing but Billy is doing whatever it took to make your relationship work. He was determined to do whatever it takes not to fuck up again as much as it scared him to say he loves you, he truly loves you and couldn’t afford to let you go.

Billy knew that you were going to be the one he was going to marry since the first day he laid eyes on you , yes you still fought but at least it was about small menial things that could be easily talked through, but now your relationship was stronger than ever.

Now there was no good and bad, it was just good and you both couldn’t be happier. Billy adored the ground you walked upon, he cared for you in every way he possibly could. He brought you flowers every Friday and you felt truly loved and adored by him, not this bittersweet lustful romance you experienced in high school. This now was true love, Billy was a great farther and a great husband doing all the old romantic cliches but you loved him for it.

Everyone in the party once didn’t believe in your relationship, thinking and wishing that it’d all be over soon to save the heartache for all of you. But seeing the way he looked at you with doting eyes, like you were the most beautiful woman ever created, they all admitted that they were wrong for it was clear to see that he loved you and you loved him.
