❤️️Single’s Night❤️️ Location: Acid Nightclub Present: Clifford & Poppy ( @poppypotted )

It wasn't often that Clifford opened his mind to the idea of romance, but there was a first for everything. And what better day than on Valentine’s Day? He’d  dressed up in his nicest red button-up, his deaf ear decked out in one of the golden cuffs he’d bought, and made his way to the venue about an hour after the party was set to start.

An hour, it turned out, was more than enough to get the mood going. The club was packed with people (no surprise there) and the beat that thumped through Cliff’s chest was almost... reassuring. No matter who the other people in the club were, they were all pulled together by the deep, resonating bass.

He made his way over to the self-serve punch table and poured himself a drink. No sooner had he put the ladle back down though, than the women next to him spat a sip of her drink back out into her glass. “That bad, huh?” He smiled amusedly at her, gesturing to his own cup. “Am I better off putting it down and walking away slowly?”

there’s something about being out with archie in public that has charlie on the verge of a cardiac event. the last time charlie loved archie, he’d had to fight every urge to act on his affections- you would think that’d make him even more eager to never do so again. but there’s still a part of him that feels...nervous. like something terrible is going to happen if he holds his boyfriend’s hand. and while him and archie had agreed no more secrets, more communication this time around, it’s not like charlie wants to ruin valentines day with his issues. so instead, of saying anything, or linking his fingers with archie’s, charlie nudges his shoulder, reaching over for a chocolate covered strawberry from the container of snacks they’ve smuggled in. it still works within his training diet if it’s fruit, right ?? “ d’you know what’s happening ?? i still can’t tell if that’s his cousin or his girlfriend. “

who: Lonnie ( @of-beasts-and-blood )

Being unmarried had its perks. Namely: 1) it infuriated her parents, and 2) she had time for more important things, like climbing up the ladder to success and power.

It also had its fair share of pitfalls, however.

1) It got lonely, though she’d never admit that, 

and 2) her parents never shut up about it, which was beginning to drive her mental. 

Mingling at a singles event on Valentine’s Day felt about as pathetic as it could get, but she’d come anyway. She figured she’d at least get some drinks in her before she lured some poor unsuspecting bachelor into her bed. Unfortunately, she was three drinks in and still - none of the men that had approached her so far had met her standards. 

She’d just sent another one on his way with his tail between his legs - when her gaze narrowed in on a familiar face across the room. 

Their eyes met. And in that split second she made a decision. She began to approach the bar, her stride filled with purpose. 

Lonnie appeared to be just as surprised to see her as she was, him.

“Wasn’t expecting to see you here tonight,” she said, speaking before he could.

“Oh, there’s plenty of room in my blanket nest if you’d like to join us!” Hamish said with a wide smile, feeding a small trio of owlets in a beanie tiny pieces of bacon. “It’s great desensitization for them, so don’t worry about disturbing them. And I have people snacks too I promise.”

Rose liked movie nights, as a general rule. Movies fascinated her and she did love all the snacks. Plus there was a different kind of magic to it all. “You can join me if you want. I promise that I won’t talk through any of the important parts.”

Simon wasn’t having a good time. When Gladys had promised them a fun night out they’d said yes because they always said yes to Gladys. Now, though, Si really wished they had just stayed home. From their spot against the far wall they could see Edgar placing more bets than he could possibly win, and they could see people limbering up for fights as if fighting was something that could ever end well.

“Do you think the bartenders could just come to me?” They asked without much hope.

“You know,” Edith said, curled up next to Nimue on the little medical bed. Mason had allowed her to stay because she’d promised not to interfere with any of the healing. Now she had her arms wrapped around Nim’s waist as she held her girlfriend as close as she could manage. “I’m beginning to think that you enjoy worrying me silly. Not that you aren’t an awesome fighter and I’m really proud of you, but I wouldn’t mind a few weeks when you like, don’t get injured? Could do wonders for my stress levels.”

It had been a good fight, it really had, but Walden was in pain and grumpy all the same. He had wanted to lose to Sera. Maybe that would’ve helped her feel better. Instead he’d lost to Thorfinn, and the fight had been good but fuck his back was murder.

Now he was laying on his stomach in the medic area, trying to make himself feel better through sheer willpower. All the medics were busy apparently. Then out of the corner of his eye he saw a familiar head of black-brown hair and couldn’t help perking up.

“Thought you were in Mexico, cuñada. Did you come all the way back to watch me get my ass kicked?”

Ajax still wasn’t sure why he’d come here in the first place. Maybe to see Mason, maybe to tease Archie about his overprotective streak; but the only thing more surprising than him showing up was Charlie working here. He had to blink a few times to make sure he hadn’t made Charlie up or something. His brother had been remarkably tight-lipped about his not-boyfriend lately and Ajax had a feeling that meant they’d done something dumb again. Knowing Chi, it did seem likely.

“Charlie!” He said, moving to stand next to the man. “I’ve missed you, haven’t seen you around in proper ages. What’re you up to here?”

Where; fight night Whom; Hayden @xavecamour​

The most frustrating part of this whole thing (besides having to watch Frank lose, that had hurt) was watching Hayden with her boyfriend. It wasn’t that he didn’t want her to be happy. He did. Or that he had any say over who she dated. He certainly didn’t. It was just … watching Stanley fight made him uneasy. He believed that Stanley wouldn’t do anything to hurt Denny, it was just … there something he couldn’t place.

Why did it even matter ? Hayden wasn’t blood. She was a sister by proxy. Maybe it was just Ty’s absence combined with Max’s prolonged stay in Mungo’s, but Leon was lonely. Hayden wasn’t blood but she was working her way to close enough.

“Didn’t think ring girl was quite your style.” He said, leaning against the ring to grin up at her. “Can you believe Moody won’t let me place any bets?”

where; fight night whom; wendy @wendyskies​

Beryl had to admit, part of him hadn’t quite believed that Wendy wasn’t at least partially a figment of blood-loss imagination. He knew she was real enough, Peter talked about her occasionally, but he’d rather hoped they could’ve met somewhere less... an active ground zero. Seeing her here was a delightful surprise.

“Ah! Wendy Darling!” He said, smiling as he handed her a drink. “I will admit, it’s nice to see you without one of us bleeding. You ran off after that one fight, is the man you went to alright?”

❤️️Single’s Night❤️️   Location: Acid Nightclub Present: Clifford & Penny  ( @xkilljxy​ )

It was nice to get out and socialise. Not that Cliff was a recluse - he did go out to Diagon Alley regularly, and there were of course the deliveries. It just seldom happened that he left home for the sole purpose of entertainment. Coming to the Single’s Night had been a good idea. He could practically feel his mom’s disapproval at the thought. Her only son, potentially picking a spouse from a selection of drunk partygoers. That was probably his favourite thing about London: no one to report back to his family. No one here even knew about his family. 

Except for… no, that couldn’t be right. He frowned, craning his neck to get another glimpse of the girl who, according to the news back home, was supposed to be dead. His curiosity got the best of him for once, and he nimbly made his way through the crowd until he was standing behind the woman. “Constance? Is that really you?”

where: singles night

who: Flora ( @spellbxnd )

Connie truly loathed these types of events. She felt awkward and out of place, and had no idea how to approach any of the eligible single women and...god forbid, flirt. 

She’d been out of the game for so long, she wasn’t even sure what counted as flirting anymore. 

She felt a little underdressed, as well. Most of the women here were from a slightly higher class than Connie, and it showed. They all looked stunning under the lights of the nightclub, in their sparkling dresses with their fancy hair, dancing and laughing and smiling and -

And so that’s how she found herself seated at the bar, keeping to herself. She’d just downed the last dregs of her beer when she finally noticed the woman who’d taken a seat next to her. 

“Mm!” she let out a muffled noise of surprise, her eyes widening slightly. She covered her mouth and murmured a “Hi,” 

She got a good look at the woman for the first time. She was beautiful, far more beautiful than she had any right to be. Long dark hair, eyes Connie could get lost in, and overall what Connie was sure was the face of an angel. 

She swallowed her mouthful of beer and said nervously, “Is it, um, is it hot in here, suddenly?”

Simon didn’t often think that Gladys made bad ideas, but they were beginning to consider this might have been one of them. Watching the fights had been awful. At least some of the fighters had tapped out, at least all of the fighters wanted to be in there. This whole time they’d barely managed to go more than a few feet from Gladys.

“Are we sure this is a good idea?” They asked, fidgeting with the hem of their coat. At least no one else here had a wand either. At least they had that. “We could still go hang out with Pena and Su.”

Watching Peter fight had been nerve-wracking. He knew that his boyfriend was fully capable of looking after himself and, unlike Beryl, could actually hold his own in a fight. That hadn’t exactly made any of it easier. For the first time in his life he felt like he could actually empathize with Antonin Dolohov. 

“I don’t care what anyone says,” he said, running a gentle thumb across Peter’s bust lip, “I think you did beautifully. Though I admit I am a bit relieved you won’t have to fight anyone else still in the running.”
