Ch. 1 Ch. 2 Ch. 3 Ch. 4 Ch. 5
After being living with Autumn and Haneul for a month and a half, Taehyung was finally meeting the rest of their family, he had already met Jin, Jimin and Jungkook and even though it was hard for him to trust them fully, he had decided that he liked the three males… Not that any of them really knew that because Taehyung still avoided them every time he could, though it was not really possible to avoid Jimin after he discovered that he and Taehyung were the same age and decided that they were to be best friends.
‘’ Mamma… MAMMA...Mamma, can Tata be my daddy?’’ - That finally caught Autumn’s full attention, she turned around making sure that the hybrid was still taking a shower, praying that he couldn’t hear them over the running water and his own singing voice. She rushed to kneel in front of her daughter. - ‘’ Haneul, baby, that’s not something that we should say...’’ ‘’ But mamma, he tells me stories to sleep and sings to me and tucks me in sometimes, all the kids have a daddy and…and I saw it on tv, the daddy that lives together with you and your mamma, and tells you stories is your daddy! Does my Tata don’t want to be my daddy?’’ - Haneul’s pretty eyes swelled with unshed tears at the idea, and Autumn could have sworn that she heard her own heart break. - ‘’ No honey bear, you know your Tata loves you very, very much! He tells you that all the time, right? It’s just that for a woman and a man to be a mommy and a daddy they have to really really love each other a lot. - She couldn’t believe she was having this conversation with her 5 year old daughter, her flushed little face was destroying her heart. -
"But momma, don't you love Tata?" - Autumn could practically see the engines in her daughter's head starting to over think, tears threatening with reappearing.- "I do sweetheart, I do, but it's just a little bit different for adults, you know, adults are dumb sometimes and things don't work the same for us...Let’s talk about it later, ok? we need to go see your uncles!"
"Noona, I'm ready!" - Autumn felt her soul come back to her body when Taehyung decided to appear, giving her the chance to escape the impossible conversation she was having with her daughter. She smiled at him, noticing the way he was referring to her, she was almost sure that it had to do with spending so much time with Jimin.-
The drive to Yoongi’s apartment was filled with loud singing and laughs. The prospect of getting together with her best friends had Autumn in a really good mood, and even though Taehyung felt really nervous, the smiles on both mother and daughter’s faces helped him breathe easier. He knew most of the men they were getting together with but the fact that they were actually entering the territory of another hybrid, one that he hadn’t met yet, was nerve wracking. He was worried that his instincts would get the best of him and he would piss Autumn’s loved ones off, how would Autumn react? what would she think of him? would she start hating him if her friends didn’t like him?
Taehyung didn’t have to wonder for too long. Everybody’s temper was tested when Hobi had to let go of Autumn as she was being yanked back by a strong arm towards a wide chest, a low growl vibrating against her back. Sensing the hostility in his own territory kicked Hoseok’s instincts on, even though Autumn and Haneul weren’t his humans, they were part of his family and he felt really protective of them, so soon there was a battle of growls and silent snarls. For a few moments none of them really acknowledged the attempts of the others to calm them down.
‘’ Tata, don’t be mean to uncle Hobi, I promise he is really nice!’’ - Haneul’s innocent voice and the way she hugged his leg was what brought Taehyung back to his senses . As soon as he stopped growling, Hoseok did the same, he understood where the younger hybrid was coming from, he remembered being in the same place a few years ago, he wasn’t about to let him cross the line in his territory, establishing hierarchy was a basic hybrid instinct anyway, but he was also excited for the new addition to the friend group even if he was not about to show that at the moment. -
Taehyung was utterly embarrassed about his conduct and after a solid ten minutes of being scolded first by Autumn an then by Jimin, he just wanted to curl up into a ball in a corner and cry his heart out, but they were so loving even when scolding him that he couldn't even do that. He hesitated but ultimately approached Hoseok who was setting things up for the movie night.
‘’Hyung… I… I’m really sorry about earlier… it’s not really excuse for my behavior but…”- Before he could finish his apology, he was attacked by a very effusive fox hybrid, Hoseok was bouncing on the balls of his feet, too excited by the idea of having a new hybrid friend, Taehyung couldn’t help the smile that divided his lips.-
‘’ I’m really sorry about that, Yoongs. Taehyung is a little bit weary of males, and new environments are a little hard for him to take in.’’ - Autumn was worn out by the whole scene, feeling sorry and guilty for everyone in the room, she didn’t blame Taehyung, she knew well enough of his apprehension towards males and she knew how protective hybrids could get when facing threats to who they considered their people, specially in the presence of other hybrids. She remembered the first time she met Hoseok with a shiver. But she couldn’t stop feeling bad for her friends. It was their home at the end of the day.-
‘’ Hoseok, really likes him, I can see it in his face that he already is taking him under his wing. I don’t think we will have any problem. - Yoongi assured with a wink as he motioned towards the three hybrids that seem to have engaged in an enthusiastic conversation about what movies to watch, after Jimin joined them in the living room. Autumn felt her body relax, realizing how worried she was until that moment, a soft smile appearing on her face. -
‘’ Uncle Yoongi, up!’’ - A new battle arised, this time, between Yoongi and Jungkook fighting over who was Haneul’s favorite with Haneul enjoying herself in the shower of attention and love she was getting. -
‘’ He really is the right fit, isn’t he?’’ - Jin's voice came from behind her before a pair of arms encircled her shoulders. She let herself relax in his embrace, feeling happy to be home, loving how her brothers embraced Taehyung so effortlessly.- ‘’ Haneul asked me if Taehyung could be her new dad’’ - She whispered, knowing that Jin was close enough to hear her and everyone else was so loud that she doubted they could hear her even if she were to scream it. She felt Jin humming in thought, it wasn’t a surprise to him even though this was the first time Haneul had ever said something like that. - It is good for her to have some kind of father figure in her life… And if he is sticking around for a while… How do you feel though? - She knew exactly what he was referring to, her an her friends never really payed any attention to the stigma that interracial relationships between humans an hybrids carried with them, but she had given up on dating a long time ago, men were too inmature, too insensitive and she didn’t have the time or the energy to deal with someone else’s child. - ‘’ I don’t know Jinnie, I haven’t really consider it, I mean, he is one of the most caring an loving people I’ve met, always looking out for both of us and looking for ways to collaborate, you know how happy he was when you offered him to work at the flower shop, an he loves Haneul so dearly, she loves him even more, I’m afraid she will get hurt if anything were to happen and he decided to leave… But we are not in that type of relationship, Jin. I am his sponsor and he is our hybrid, and I’m totally fine with that.’’ - Jin left a soft brief kiss on top of her head, hugging her a little closer.-
‘’Then there is nothing to worry about, Mamma Bear.’’ - Autumn closed her eyes in contentment, right on time to miss the look that Taehyung directed to them, but Jin was able to catch the turmoil of emotions that twirled in his eyes. A knowing smile dancing on his lips, He knew how dense Autumn could be when it came to this topic, it would be fun to see how these two would figure things out.He had the hunch that Taehyung was there to stay, and his hunches were usually right-
‘’ Jin hyung, stop hoarding noona all to yourself and come sit, we are about to start the movie!’’ - Hoseok complained in a whine that Jin responded with a scoff before complaying and dragging Autumn with him.- ‘’Next time we should invite Namjoon, Yoongi hyung! ‘’
‘’ Yeah, I like him’’ - Autumn and Jungkook agreed and Yoongi just nodded lazily. Asking them to be quiet and start the movie. Autumn’s fingers immediately found their way through Taehyung’s soft locks when he seated himself on the ground in front of her, resting his head on her knee, missing the heavy tears that rolled across his cheeks. -
…
Autumn woke up gasping for air, her heart felt like it was held in an iron grip, she couldn’t breath, and for a minute she wondered if she was about to die. She didn’t realize she was crying until she rubbed her hands over her face and felt the wetness on her cheeks. The images of the nightmare are very vivid in her mind. It was the same nightmare she had had ever since Ha Neul's dad had left, just that this time, there was a spin to it that made her sick to her stomach.
She didn’t notice Taehyung sitting on the ground next to the door until after, in her fuzzed state of mind, she almost fell over him, being stabilized by his firm hands, she heard him whimper. Her eyes filled with tears one more time as she felt herself getting lost in his bright brown orbs. She straightened up and as she pulled on her arms to free them from the Hybris grip, Taehyung let go of her. He soon trailed behind her, buzzing with worry.
Autumn wasn’t sure for how long she was zoning out with the untouched glass of water firmly held in her hand, when she felt Taehyung’s larger hand over hers as he loosened her grip, taking the glass away from her and holding her hand on his. She followed him almost unconsciously as he led her to the couch. He sitted and then led her to sit almost on his lap, they were so close that when his hand cooped the side of her face to have her look at him, she could feel his warm cinnamon breath fanning against her skin. They stayed like that for what felt like hours, Taehyung was tracing invisible circles over the skin of her jaw and cheek with the pad of his thumb, both of them getting lost in each other’s eyes when he spoke, his voice barely above a whisper.
‘’ Please… Please don’t cry, don’t be sad… It hurts so much… It hurts so, so much’’ - He knew about her nightmares, at least the ones that she usually had where her ex-husband abandoned her and Haneul over and over again, she had mentioned them once when he found her just zoning out in the living room, unable to go back to sleep after a nightmare. His voice was strained, it sounded like it was in the bearge of breaking. As she remained silent, he gained some courage from the wonder and affection that her eyes always seemed to reflect when she looked at him. He traced over her face with the tip of his nose, in one of the most intimate shows of affection for hybrids, subtly breathing her in. She felt her cheeks burn as her heart threatened with leaving her chest, but didn’t make any attempt to move away from his touch. -
‘’ If you would just let me… If you will just look at me the way… If only I could become a man in your eyes. - He closed his eyes as he rested his forehead over hers, a pained expression claiming his sharp features. His lips almost brushing over hers as he spoke. Autumn felt so vulnerable, yet so safe there in his embrace. She took the opportunity to notice all of his little details like the cute little freckles in his nose, his left cheek and the side of his chin, or the way his long lashes rested on top of his cheek bones as he closed his eyes, his rosy lips an the natural blush that seemed to be always present over his honey like skin. Taehyung was simply breathtaking.
Her fingers brushed against his jaw line in an almost hesitant movement, skimming over his skin in a feather like touch but it got him to relax immediately, the frown disappearing, he let out a relieved sigh, the feeling of her touch over his skin felt like a lullaby to his heart. But then there was something soft and sweet pressed against his parted lips, his heart pounded against his ribcage. The contact lasted mere seconds making him whine in the absence of it. He opened his eyes, facing the storm on hers. She was searching for his reaction, he could see the fear aflame in the depth of her grey orbs.
He knew at that very moment that he would give his life for this woman in a blink.
‘’ Noona...Can you do that again?’’ - He breathed out a plea over her lips, his eyes going back and forth from her eyes to her lips as if he was begging her, and he was, by all means ready to beg for her. She moved painfully slowly, her eyes also wandering over his face until her lips met his once again and this time, Taehyung took his time to savor her, his hand sneaked to the back of her head to keep her in place, he felt so blissfully light headed that he wouldn’t be surprised if he was to wake up the next morning and realize that it was just another dream. He almost cried out loud when she pulled away from him.
‘’ Taehyung… I... ‘’ - He didn’t want to hear it, he didn’t want to know what her eyes were trying to say. He could sense the confusion, the fear that rolled out of her like crashing waves. The little bit of her conversation he had overheard a few weeks ago back at Yoongi’s apartment playing over and over in his head.’I’m just his sponsor and he is our hybrid’ she had said crushing the fluttering hope that had erupted in his chest when he had heard how she told Jin about. Haneul asking if he could be her dad, he wasn’t able to hear the whole conversation but what he heard was enough for him to understand his place in their lives.
He had convinced himself that he was completely ok with that, he was happy to at least be allowed to just stay with them but after the moment they just shared he understood how greedy he had become and how much of them he wanted. He couldn’t take it.
‘’ It’s because I’m a hybrid, right? ‘’ - He murmured more to himself than anything else but she heard him and tried to stop him in a panicked attempt. He couldn’t take it, he needed to get out, he needed some time to think. -
And so, he ran. His heartbeat was so loud that it was the only thing he could hear. So loud that he couldn’t hear her
‘’No, that’s not...no, please no… Don’t leave us… Don’t leave me’’ - Autumn could feel the panic attack closing her throat. Incapable of really moving to try and console her hysteric 5 year old that had woken up to the image of her beloved hybrid hero running away and her mom becoming a crying mess. -

hey love everything you post! I’ve had a thought about the au you did were Mikoto was Misaki biological dad. What if instead Mikoto raised Misaki as a single dad? Like Yata mamma died in child birth or something. How do you think it would change the Sarumi development and plot?
So in this scenario we're basically saying what if Kusanagi raised him XD Though really I think this would lead to like a 'Yata has three daddies' scenario, where Mikoto brings the kid to the bar and Kusanagi isn't sure if he should be happy that Mikoto didn't kidnap a kid or annoyed that Mikoto went and had a kid without telling anyone. Like say in this AU Yata's mom is more around Mikoto's age and they have like a one night stand sort of thing, Mikoto doesn't think anything of it until one day Yata's mom tracks him down and tells him she's pregnant and she's pretty sure the kid is his (also let's say in this scenario that Yata Mom's last name is Yata, otherwise this could get confusing). Mikoto figures he'll just have to like pay child support or something, he's pretty sure that he wouldn't be good to have in the kid's life. Yata's mom asks him to at least be present for the birth and he agrees, but then things end up going south and Yata's mom dies shortly after giving birth. She did put Mikoto's name on the birth certificate as the kid's father though so now Mikoto is basically like handed a baby and he has no idea what to do except take the kid to Kusanagi and let him figure it out.
From this point the Homra trio probably work together to raise the kid, Kusanagi's not sure if just leaving Mikoto to handle this by himself will go very well. Yata's basically raised in the bar – learning at a young age that no, we do not break, destroy or scuff anything in Uncle Izumo's bar – and he has a major hero worship for his dad, Yata thinks his dad is just the coolest guy in the world. In this AU Yata wouldn't have any of that feeling of not belonging, like maybe he does feel a bit weird compared to his peers because he has three weird dads instead of a mom and he lives upstairs in a bar but he does feel like he has a whole 'family' in Homra. Say he ends up at Himuka middle school because Kusanagi thinks they should try to get Yata into kind of a nicer school, except Yata still doesn't fit in there because he's just as loud and energetic as ever. Yata still saves Fushimi from the bullies because he's against anyone who picks on the weak, though in this AU I could see Yata actually winning because he's learned to fight from Mikoto. He's not afraid of getting scolded by teachers either, Yata's learned that if he gets in trouble for doing the right thing his dads will have his back and anyway most of his teachers are probably afraid to call his parents because they don't want to have to deal with Yata's scary gang leader dad or even his more pleasant but probably a mafia boss dad or his extremely pleasant but also kind of worrisome friendly hobby dad.
Yata and Fushimi end up becoming friends like in canon but now I'm thinking instead of running away to live together Yata probably tries to convince Mikoto to let him kidnap Fushimi pretty much. Kusanagi isn't sure they have room for another kid at the bar but then the first time Yata brings Fushimi over the Homra trio can see why Yata feels so strongly about wanting to help his friend, like of course Fushimi never says anything about his family situation but I think the Homra trio would be able to read between the lines a little there and I could see Yata like taking Fushimi upstairs for a sleepover and Kusanagi suggesting he, Mikoto and Totsuka have a little talk about Yata's very obviously abused best friend. Maybe Mikoto even decides to pay Niki a brief visit, imagine him just showing up at Fushimi's house one day smoking a cigarette and introducing himself as the dad of Fushimi's best friend and making it clear that if anything happens to break Yata and Fushimi's friendship Mikoto might have to intervene (not that this stops Niki, who finds this more amusing than anything).
I'm thinking in this AU the jungle party would probably never happen, or if it did maybe Yata and Fushimi try to mess things up knowing jungle is run by a King. By this point Mikoto would have found his King powers and both Yata and Fushimi probably know about it, Yata really wants to join Homra but keeps being told he's too young (when Anna joins later he's just like okay so she's fine but you made me wait two years no fair). Fushimi doesn't really 'want' to join but he does want power so he can keep up with Misaki and I could see him still having some jealousy here, that Yata knows all these people with powers who are so amazing and Fushimi needs to like constantly keep up or else Misaki won't look at him. They decide to try and go after jungle to show that they're strong enough to become Homra members but they still fail and have to be saved, however after that Mikoto decides to let them join because he figures the kids will keep doing this kind of stuff otherwise. From there I imagine things going similar to canon, Fushimi seeing how Yata instantly fits in because he's been basically Homra's prince from birth and here's Fushimi who's suddenly just 'Yata's friend' and nothing else, who feels like after all that time of wanting to join Homra now that they're members it's like Misaki's moving away from him and they aren't a team anymore.
#Yata Misaki#Talking K#Yata being like 'my dad can beat up your dad'#and Fushimi's all I hope so#Yata would have such hero worship it would probably be worse than in canon#bc his dad is the strongest and coolest and can fight anyone#though then post-S1 he'd probably be in even deeper depression

character: luciano vargas / 2P! Italy - Hetalia
song recommendations: the big bang - rock mafia
you held you shopping bags with a tight grip. you were running late to a coffee date with one of your friends but you knew that if you didn’t get the shopping done, you wouldn’t have time for the rest of the week.
grabbing your keys from your purse, you immediately put all the perishable items into the fridge and left everything else in the bags before quickly using the bathroom and leaving again.
hopping into your car, you zoomed to the coffee shop where your friend decided to have the date. as soon as you parked the car, you realized that your friend was just barely arriving herself.
“Laura!” you screamed as she waved at you enthusiastically, “hey, sorry for running late!” the two of you apologized to each other at the same time. you couldn’t help but laugh, “I had to get shopping done for the week. my schedule is busy for the rest of the week and I had to get it done today.”
she nodded before saying that she got caught up with shopping as well, “well, at least we had time for hangout today. god knows I’ve needed it.” Laura sat down as you went straight towards the coffee bar to ring in your order.
“afternoon Slyvie!” you told the older lady. she gave you smile, “the same as usual?” she asked. you nodded as she went to the back to start making your order.
you sat one the stools and started talking with Laura. the two of you had coffee dates once a week. it kept the both of you sane and it really was just a form of therapy after the busy week you usually had.
“do you remember the time you got drunk at a Drake concert at busted your ass in the cement?” Laura reminded you as you rolled your eyes, trying to hide your face, “no need to be embarrassed! it’s just a funny memory. that was also the night I got into the wrong car and got yelled at for it.”
as the two of you continued to talk, you heard the small bell ring indicating someone came in. the coffee shop was usually dead around this time so it was odd hearing the noise.
paying no mind to whoever walked in, you kept talking to Laura as she stared at whoever it was that walked in. finally getting enough of her not paying attention to you, you turned to look at who it was.
you were stunned to see a tall man with two people standing behind. all three of them looked different from each other yet your eyes remained on what you assumed was their leader.
“hey Slyvie, can you grab me a lemon bread? the coffee taste is really getting to me,” you asked a bit shyly. once you turned over to Laura, the three men sat at one of the empty tables and continued their own conversation.
as the day continued and you realized that time was slipping away, you got up from your seat, “well, I gotta head home. I have class first thing in the morning and I know I’m going to struggle getting up in the morning,” you said with a hint of sadness in your voice.
the two of you walked out of the shop but not without giving the mysterious man one last look. without realizing, you accidentally dropped your ID while taking out your keys and the man immediately noticed. getting up and picking it up, he left without telling where he was going and noticed you barely reaching your car.
he sauntered over to your car and you immediately noticed him coming over to talk to you. without realizing, you checked yourself out in the mirror as he finally reached you.
“I believe you dropped this inside of the shop,” he said as you instantly swooned into your seat by the sound of voice, “oh, it’s my school ID. thanks for grabbing it,” your voice wavered as you instantly wanted to smack yourself for it.
he chuckled as he leaned up against the car, “I’m Luciano, you’re ( your name ), correct,” you nodded as he watched you nervously play with your hair. being that Luciano did what he did for a living, he was able to pick out the nervous habits of people, “what are you doing out here?” he asked knowing that it was a stupid question to ask but with your flustered state, he figured you wouldn’t realize it.
“oh, I was catching coffee with a friend,” you explained, “we usually catch coffee once a week so that’s what we were doing,” you felt yourself over explain it and wanted nothing more than to crawl in a hole and die.
he gave you a smirk as he finally got off the car, “well I see you’re busy,” grabbing your hand, he kissed the backside of it before leaving, “see you around.”
as soon as you shut the door to your car, you instantly screamed in a flustered manor. you had never gotten that reaction from a man before so having someone kiss your hand so delicately, you felt your hand tingle.
-
it wasn’t until your Friday night outing until you remembered your incident with Luciano. a few of your friends decided to grab dinner at a restaurant and while the place was a restaurant, it was also a joint to dance without it fully being a club or bar.
“god, he was so attractive,” you admitted as you smacked your head on the table, “I swear to god, I’d let him raw me,” all of your friends looked at you horrified, Laura more than the rest of them.
“Jesus Christ, ( your name ),” she exclaimed, “that’s very weird coming from someone who yells at us whenever we make a sexual joke.”
you shrugged as they continued on with the conversation they were having. as the night drew in, the dance floor was a little packed as you went to dance with Laura to a random song. Luciano was sitting in a booth with a few of his henceman as he watched you sing and dance to ‘lay all of your love on me’ from Mamma Mia.
a few songs passed when the soda you were drinking finally made you want to use the bathroom. walking over to the single restroom, you realized a very familiar face. you locked eyes with him and immediately felt your face warm up.
going to the bathroom, you checked your makeup and popped in a piece of gum before quickly using it and walking back out. Luciano stood on the other side of the wall, scaring you and making you jump at least a few feet back.
“oh hey, Luciano, funny seeing you here!” you tried to say as he gave you a smile, “I was just saying the same thing to my friends,” he replied, “where are you sitting?”
you pointed over to the table where all your friends were at, “how about you and your friends sit with our table,” you instantly shook your head, “we couldn’t you guys look busy and we wouldn’t want to intrude.”
he gave you a commanding look, “if it would be intruding, I wouldn’t have mentioned it so how about my offer?” you nodded as you gulped down the lump in your throat and walked over to your friends.
they instantly seen your heart eyes, “sooo, remember the guy I was just talking about?” they nodded, “he’s actually here and offered that we sit with them, you guys down?”
you could tell they were hesitant in responding, “sure?” Laura said as they all grabbed their things and told the waitress that they were moving tables. they all gawked as they seen the plethora of very attractive men sitting at the table.
“you can sit here, amore,” you nodded as you slid inside of the booth and sat next to Luciano. he even propped up your legs so they were laying on top of his lap, “you guys can afford this type of wine?” one of your other friends exclaimed.
she was holding a bottle of wine that had the price tag of more money you would ever see in your life. one of the other men laughed, “we can afford more than you think,” you chuckled as Luciano poured some wine in your glass.
“try it,” he whispered as he handed you the cup. the wine was a bit bitter for your liking but the taste wasn’t horrible, “it’s not bad,” you mentioned as some of the other men poured the wine for your friends.
the night continued with you basically sitting on Luciano’s lap as all of you drank wine and talked amongst each other. you felt the eyes of other patrons as you gave them a weird look and didn’t bother to give them a second look.
once all of your friends decided to call it a night, you got up from the table and stretched, “thank you for tonight, Luciano,” you said as he offered to walk you to your car, “I have to repay you for tonight,” you added.
he stayed silent for a moment, “how about you let me take you out on a proper date?” he asked as he put his gloved index finger underneath your chin, “a beauty like yourself shouldn’t have to repay me anything.”
not being able to hold back your squeal, he chuckled at your reaction, “so I’ll take that as a yes?” you nodded as he came closer to you, “wonderful. I’ll make sure to figure out where we go for our date.”
he closed the gap between the two of you and kissed you. had this been any other man, you were sure you would’ve pushed him away and probably kicked him in the nuts but there was something about Luciano that didn’t make you want to do that.
“get home safely,” Luciano whispered as he finally released you and let you get into your car, “I’ll see you later.”
-
word had gotten around your college and although you weren’t directly hearing it yourself, you were now seeing someone high up in the mafia.
people whispered about it, some envious at how lucky you got for basically reeling in a man with money while others were fearful for the fact that you were now dating a fucking mafia leader and how quickly this could go south.
you walked out into the schools campus but instead of heading to your car, you seen a very familiar expensive car standing in the pick up area. Luciano was leaning against his car, dawning a very expensive looking suit as he had a cigarette hanging from his lip.
“I’m assuming that’s your boyfriend?” one of your friends asked. you shook your head no, “we’re not in a relationship, we’re just seeing each other but to be totally honest, I have no idea why he’s here,” you explained before waving your friend goodbye and walking toward Luciano.
he flicked the unlit cigarette away as you walked up towards him, “hey Luciano! what are you doing here?” you asked as he silenced you with a welcoming kiss, “I wanted to pick you up. is that a problem?” he stated as he brought you in closer, you shook your head no, “what are you doing tonight?” he asked.
“um, I have a few papers I have to proofread but besides that, not much,” you mentioned as he told you to give your keys to one of his men and he would make sure he would bring it back to your house, “let me take you out for dinner tonight,” he offered.
you looked at your watch, “around what time? I have a few things for school I have to do but depending on the time, sure,” you replied. he looked down at his watch, “whenever you’re free,” you grabbed your planner from your book bag and scanned it, “is seven okay?” you asked. he nodded as you gave him a smile, “wonderful, I’ll see you tonight!”
you finally arrived to your apartment and got immediately to work. slowly but surely, you felt the energy to do your schoolwork wash away and lazily got it done before texting Luciano that you would be done a little early.
not knowing how fancy the place Luciano was planning on taking you, you put on a random blouse and a flow-y black skirt with black heels and very minimal makeup. you knew Luciano preferred your face not to be caked with makeup.
as you sprayed perfume on, you heard a honk from outside. grabbing your purse, you locked the door and got met with Luciano already standing outside to help inside the car.
the car he had taken was on purpose. the back was covered so the driver wouldn’t hear their conversation and Luciano hated when unnecessary people poked into business that wasn’t there’s.
as soon as you got comfortable, he propped your legs up on his lap and rubbed them, “you looked beautiful, as always,” he complimented as he watched you get flustered, “did you finish that work?” he asked.
“yeah, I did although I felt like falling asleep halfway through,” you admitted, “can’t say I wouldn’t say the same. how come you’re so far away, amore?” he mentioned before pulling you in closer.
you giggled as he held you close to him, “where are we going?” you asked as he waved you off, “you’ll see now how about you be quiet and give me a few kisses?” he said before capturing your lips.
you moaned softly as he slipped his tongue into your mouth. your fingers ran through his fiery brownish red hair as he rubbed your bare legs. you took off his suit jacket as laid you down, well as much as he could without making uncomfortable.
“are we really going to do this in the car?” you asked as he chuckled, “I guess this just knocks something off our list, right?” he asked before delving back into a kiss.
by the time you arrived to your destination, your lipstick was smeared and it stained Luciano’s face as well. you quickly grabbed a few things from your purse and fixed it before Luciano got off the car and helped you out.
from the looks of it, you were at a shopping center. the center looked to be filled with various expensive looking stores. chanel, versace, tom ford, dior. you name it and you were sure it was there.
“what are we doing here?” you asked innocently, “shopping, what does it look like?” he said before grabbing hand. his free hand fixed his bustina cap and he walked towards the first store he intended on taking you.
as you shopped and Luciano purchased everything you even mentioned in liking, you noticed others doing the same thing. a lot of the men wore something like Luciano did and their partners were dressed in either very expensive clothes themselves or shopping for new ones.
little did you know, it wasn’t unknown for mafia members to take their partners shopping here. it wasn’t a secret but not many ‘civilians’ shopped there. they knew what could happen if they got in the way of mafia leaders/members or their partners so they didn’t bother to try.
just as you felt your feet starting to wear you down, Luciano took you into a jewelry store. not many people were inside but from the looks of it, the owner already knew who he was.
“ah Mr.Vargas, how can I help you?” he asked as he walked around to greet Luciano, “I’m shopping and I need something for her,” was all he stated before got the hint.
he motioned for you to follow him and took you to the necklace section. you immediately gasped at some of the prices that you seen but Luciano was quick to remove that stress.
“pick whatever you like doll,” you immediately tried to protest but he gave you that look that usually stopped your protest, “pick something,” he stated again.
you looked over the plethora of necklaces and finally chose a necklace. the necklace was shiny but not too shiny. it was diamonds covering the entire necklace while the middle held a real gemstone, one of your birthstone.
“is the one you like?” he asked as you nodded, “we’ll take this one,” he told the man as he shook his head for the man to leave him. the man dismissed himself to the back, taking Luciano’s card to pay for the necklace.
you propped yourself up and gave him a kiss, “thank you,” you whispered as he nodded, “I hope you know that this signifies that you are now my girlfriend,” he said without giving you much say in the matter.
you smiled as he captured you in another kiss, “of course,” you immediately said, “although I do have one question,” you asked.
Luciano gave you a look, “what do you do for a living? you never told me that?” you simply asked as he let out a belting chuckle, “I sell things and run my own company but don’t you worry about that. what you need to worry about is what we’re going to eat for dinner, okay?” you found it odd that he didn’t give more detail about his occupation but you didn’t bother to press it. you knew he would tell you once he felt comfortable.
Luciano knew exactly what he was doing. he didn’t need to get you wrangled into his lifestyle. the least you knew, the better. all he had to do was keep you happy and with him and he was be content. let anyone cross your relationship with him and they would be expecting an unpleasant visit from Luciano.
part two anyone?? i actually like where I went with this imagine and if any of you want a similar imagine with another Hetalia character, let me know! I’m thinking of Russia or England. i could make this an entire series like my pregnancy ones if you guys would like!

❛❛ This is a game you cannot hope to win! ❜❜
Mafia AU where we focus on Coraline’s children, and their true colors
@grotesquegabby Even tho it’s tell the end, Lennie is in this :3
“Mother, why are we here again?” asked a child who sat on a table adorned with a pure white tablecloth and beautiful flowers and plants as a centerpiece. In fact, the entirety of the venue where the child was had a wonderful arrangement all around, sunlight pouring through every window and flowers blooming everywhere, hanging from the ceiling, clinging onto walls, they were everywhere.
“Because Mr. Jennings has offered us all a treat, darling. We are also to discuss some business manners whilst you all eat.”her mother replied, motioning to a man who sat beside her, this man being her date for the day.
“Your kids are going to love this place Coraline. I’ve heard so many good things about it, never been here however.” he glanced over at the woman who gave a polite smile. “I’ve been waiting for a special occasion, and this is obviously one.”
“What’s the food like?” one of the other kids asked.
“It’s Italian, very formal. Every single ingredient is brought over from Italy, so all the food is the absolute best.”
“How can you be so sure if you’ve never even been here?”
“Dante, hush.” Coraline turned to the boy before he nodded, a waiter coming along and handing everybody their own menu. “It’s all in Italian.”
She looked through every page of the menu book, feeling a tad bit concerned before her date gave a hearty chuckle.
“Not to worry sweet Coraline. I happen to be fluent in Italian, so you and the children can sit back and relax. I’ll handle the ordering and make sure you receive only the best.”
Coraline’s children all glanced at each other, sharing looks that could only describe the irritation neither of the adults noticed.
“If you say so.”Coraline set down her menu, nodding at the children. The boys looked at Lily, waiting for a command, and she set down her menu which prompted them to follow along.
“Ciao bella famiglia.(Hello lovely family.)” a voice came, everybody turning to the spot in between the adults where a waiter holding a notepad stood. “How are we doing all today on this fine day?”
“Very well, thank you.”Coraline felt as the waiter took her hand, placing a kiss on it as Mr. Jennings was not looking too pleased at the sight. However, he smiled once the waiter turned to him.
“Have you your orders ready signore?(sir?)”
“Oh, yes. But let us order drinks first.” he glimpsed at Coraline who nodded in agreement. “We’ll have the Masseto wine, and the children will each have a soda. Which flavors-”
“Actually.” Lily spoke up as Mr. Jennings turned to her. “I’ll have the Holy Basil tea with both ginger and lemon. Hold the sugar.”
“And I would like a Cinnamon Berry Ice Tea with additional berries.”Dante smiled before the twins followed.
“And we would like glasses of water with as much ice as possible.”
“And I, a pink champagne.”Coraline turned to the waiter as Jennings was shocked. “Bring a Masseto as well, for him.”
“Of course signorita.(Ms.) And what of your meal?”
“Would an appetizer be alright with all of you?”Jennings looked over at the children who each shrugged, making him sigh in relief on the inside. He soon grabbed the menu and read through what he could tell was the appetizers section, recognizing one word that came out of Lily’s mouth, so this was bound to please her thus pleasing the others.
“We’ll have the, uh...insalad dee basil caprise.”
“Do you mean the insalata di basilico caprese(caprese basil salad?)?”
“We don’t like salad.”Dante commented before the others murmured in agreement, Jennings in turn clenching a fist under the table.
“Surprise us with anything.”
“And, what of your entrees?”
Jennings clenched his jaw as he attempted to contain his anger, looking over the entree section which he did not understand.
“What’s...what do you recommend?”
“Well, let’s see. We have the Pomodoro Tortellacini, Gamberetto Jumbo avvolto nel prosciutto crudo(Proscuitto Wrapped Jumo-Shrimp),Zuppa di Mais (Corn Chowder), Spaghetti alla caponata di melanzane siciliane(Sicilian Eggplant Caponata Spaghetti), and the Mahi-Mahi alla griglia(Grilled Mahi-Mahi).”
“Well, I, uh-”
“Il Mahi-Mahi alla griglia contiene basilico fresco?” Lily questioned the waiter, and to Jennings’ surprise, all in perfect Italian.
“Sì, certo! Contiene anche gnocchi al pesto e pomodori bruschetta.” eagerly replied the waiter. “E' questo che desideri?”
“Si', per favore. E se possibile, aggiungere del basilico extra e un limone appena tagliato.“ nodded Lily before turning to Mr. Jennings with an innocent smile. “ What are you going to order Mr. Jennings?”
Jennings looked over at Coraline who was proudly staring at her daughter, never tearing her eyes away from her.
“I’m sorry, did I not mention that my children are fluent in all European dialects?”
_____________
“Quell'uomo è assolutamente idiota. Non posso credere che mamma abbia accettato la sua offerta di appuntamento.(That man is absolutely idiotic. I can't believe mom accepted his date offer.).” whispered one of the children, this being Dante who popped a cherry tomato in his mouth with his siblings nodding.
“Nemmeno io. Ovviamente non gli piacciamo nemmeno noi.(Me neither, he obviously doesn’t even like us.).” Rayden rolled his eyes, staring right at the man who told Coraline a joke. Or at least, it was an attempt at a joke, especially considering how Coraline merely gave him a look.
“Beh non ci piace neanche a noi.(Well we don’t like him either.)” Lily posited, stabbing her knife into her meal, clutching the utensil tightly as she glared at Jennings.
“Lily, cosa faremo con questo verme?(Lily, what are we going to do about this creep?)” Robyn leaned in to quietly ask, the girl craning her head as she felt the warm sunlight from the window behind her hit her. She shifted in her chair, turning and noticing that the bottom of the window had small glasses that could be easily moved to let in a calm breeze. Lily’s eyes widened as she then spotted a friend right outside.
“Noi aspettiamo...(We wait...)”Lily climbed off of her chair, moving one of the glass pieces to allow her hand to go through the window.
“Cossa facciamo?(What do we do?)” Rayden leaned in towards Lily who placed a finger on her lips, trying to keep their intentions secret.
“Creare una distrazione, portare via la mamma. (Create a distraction, get mom away.)”
“Mommy!” Rayden called Coraline, prompting her to turn to him.
“Yes sweetheart?”
“I need to go to the bathroom.”
“Would you like me to accompany you?”
“Oh, I can do that.”Jennings already stood up, but Rayden shook his head.
“I want my mommy to go with me!”Rayden frowned before Coraline stood up and the little boy hopped off his chair to run to her.
“It’s alright, I’ll take him. You sit tight and look after the other children.”Coraline then excused herself, walking away with Rayden who caught Jennings gaze on Coraline’s behind.
“Eyes over here Mr. Jennings.” sounded Dante’s voice before the man turned to him and the other kids. “What were you looking at, sir?”
“Nothing, making sure your mom gets to where she has to safely.”
“More like her posterior.” Lily commented as she cut into her mahi-mahi. “Mr. Jennings, what are your intentions with our mother?”
“No ill intentions, that’s for sure. Just-”
“Marriage? The bragging right to say that you have a trophy wife? Or perhaps the right to all her fortune and business? Status?”Lily fluttered her eyelashes, eating a piece of her fish before staring at the man. “No need to keep up with your facade, we have gone through this several times, and it all ends the same way.”
“Oh but Lily-”
“You call me Liliosa because you have no right to call me Lily.”the girl slammed a hand on the table, startling Jennings. “How about you take a napkin, write that you had an emergency, and walk away before we make you regret even inviting us?”
This made Jennings’ smile falter before he gave a frown, leaning in closer to the children who all glared at him.
“Now you brats listen up.”he started, gritting his teeth as he made sure nobody was around. “I don’t care what any of you think or feel because one day, you’ll all have to call me ‘dad’, right before I send each and every one of you to different boarding schools far away from my future wife and me.”
“Oh, how cliche of you Mr. Jennings.” Robyn rolled his eyes before taking a sip from his water. “Have you any other villanous schemes from movies like The Parent Trap?”
“Or Back to the Future II?” Dante gave an unimpressed look before Lily grabbed a knife, stabbing it right onto the table, right next to Jennings’ hand which caught is attention and surprised him greatly.
“This is a game you cannot hope to win.” Lily softly spoke as she was now in Jennings’ face, patting his head. “This is our game, and we have never lost once.”
“Well, be prepared to feel defeat for the first time.” Jennings replied, watching as Lily sat back down in her seat as she and the other boys started to eat, casually as if nothing had ever happened for Coraline had now come back.
“Here, let me help you.” the man immediately stood up, helping Coraline into her chair as Rayden sat next to the others. Jennings soon sat back down, realizing that Coraline gave him an odd look.
“Is something wrong dear?”
“Um, well. It appears you may have something on your head.”
“Has my hair been undone? Here let me-” Jennings reach up to slick his hair down, but was confused at the touch of something slimy...snotty...He continued feeling for a bit, not knowing why his head felt in such a way, until there was a loud croak.
“A frog!” Robyn pointed at Jennings’ head, laughing loudly before the man jumped up completely startled. He attempted to remove the frog, not even realizing that it had hopped onto the table, onto his plate.
The children all laughed and giggled upon noticing this, and Jennings took notice as well, eventually flipping over his plate which caused the frog to hop away and towards Lily.
She grabbed the amphibian before clibing off her chair and crawling towards the window with a giggle, setting the frog back outside.
“Thank you friend.” she whispered to it, patting its head before it hopped away into a nearby pond. Lily then sat back in her chair, taking a sip from her tea as Jennings finally settled down in his seat.
“Are you alright sir?” a waiter came by.
“No! I mean, of course.” Jennings contained his rage, fixing his suit and hair as Coraline blinked in surprise. “May I...may I get another plate?”
“Certainly sir, right away. Let us move you to another table as well, yes?”
“Splendid.”Jennings muttered out, flustered due to the fury he hid and the humiliation he. The whole group moved to another table as waiters brought over each of their plates, but the twins decided to help in carrying their ice filled cups of water.
“Poor Mr. Jennings.”
“I agree Robyn.” Rayden nodded as the man sat down, approaching him with their glasses in hand.
“We hope you feel alright after what just happened.” Robyn gave a smile to Jennings to gave a discreet glare to him.
“Oh yes.”Rayden smiled, both of the twins giving a comforting pat on the back to Jennings. However, this pat happened to be with the same hands that held onto their icy drinks, which were soon spilled inside the back of Jennings’ coat.
Once again, Jennings stood up and freaked out, Coraline watching as he danced around like a complete fool while attempting to take the ice and water out of his coat.
“Dance monkey, dance!” Dante laughed out loud as the man removed his coat to reveal his soaked shirt.
“Sir! I everything-”
“I’m alright!” Jennings snapped at a waiter who attempted to aid him. “I’m alright, just...I just got a little wet is all.”
Jennings turned to the twins who quietly snickered among themselves before lifting a finger to catch the waiter’s attention.
“May we please have glasses of water with ice to the top?” they asked in unison before the waiter nodded and left to bring what they had asked for.
“Mr. Jennings.”Coraline called the man’s attention who turned to her. “Are you in the condition to continue this...discussion? We have not yet spoken of your business.”
“Oh, oh yes. I am so sorry Coraline.” Jennings nodded with a deep sigh. “Of course, let us talk about that. I have a proposal you won’t be able to deny!”
“Idiota.(Idiot.)”
“Lei li nega tutti.(She denies all of them).”
“Infatti.(Indeed.)”
Dante went back to picking his food as the others continued to eat. But soon enough, Dante looked up as he caught a certain scent.
Fire.
He glanced around the restaurant before he caught sight of a waiter carrying a large platter with some shish kebabs, every single one flaming.Dante pondered at it for a moment, tapping his chin before he felt somebody touch his hand. Once turning he spotted Lily, and she gave a silent nod which made Dante smirk.
They both watched as the waiter walked around and eventually neared their table. One in range, Dante stuck out a leg, causing the waiter to trip over and drop the platter of flaming shish kebabs which made everybody around gasp in fear.
However, it brought a relief to the children when the shish kebabs only landed on Jennings, nowhere else. Phew.
“Oh shit!” Jennings yelled out, jumping up from his chair and grabbing whatever drink he could get ahold of, splashing it onto himself but only caused the flames on his coat to grow.
Everybody watched as the man ran around, eventually coming towards the table where the group had previously been sitting. Since it was placed right next to a window, Jennings smashed through it causing everybody to gasp before Coraline and the kids ran over to the broken window. They watched Jennings run and jump into the pond as a police officer ran over to said area.
“Sir, are you alright!? I heard there was an emergency involving fire.” the officer stood by the pond, helping Jennings up who tore his arms away from him.
“No, I’m not alright!” Jennings yelled at the officer. “Those fucking brats in there! They did this to me!”
“Brats? I...pardon?” the officer turned to where the man pointed an accusing finger, spotting four kids and an all too familiar woman. “Sir, that’s rather improper that you refer to children in such a way.”
“Children? Children!?Those aren’t fucking children! They’re the Devil’s Spawns!” Jennings exploded with a full face of red. “They have ruined this entire afternoon since I first met them today!”
The officer and Jennings soon heard the sound of heels clicking towards them, both turning as Jennings was soon thrown to the ground with a powerful smack to the face,
“Never refer to my children with such insults again.” Coraline hissed at the man before the officer leaned down with a polite smile.
“Sir, I’m going to have to ask you leave.”
“But, Coraline-!”
“Sir.” the officer repeated. “Please leave this woman and her children alone. Now.”
Jennings stood up and gave a glare to the children who were still standing in the window, each one giving a sly smile and wave before he walked away pretty soaked.
Once alone, Coraline turned to the officer who looked up at her with a much sweeter smile, though he had already looked sweet before.
“Officer Green.”
“Ms. D’Vitt. It’s so nice to see you here, but I wish it had been under better circumstances. Are you alright?”
“Yes, I am. I am feeling much better.” Coraline smiled down at the officer who gave a nod.
“Mother? Who is this?” came Lily’s voice as she and the boys now hid behind Coraline, peeking out to look at Lennie.
“Oh, Officer Green. I’d like to you to meet my children”
“Oh! So these are the little ones?” Lennie smiled knowingly, giving a wave to them as he noticed some kind of shyness yet tension. “I suppose this is...Liliosa, was it?”
“How do you know my name?”
“We met some other night, darling.”Coraline played with Lily’s hair bow. “I told him about all of you.”
“Yes she did, and you all look like such nice kids.” Lennie grinned as the children all whispered behind Coraline, Lily eventully stepping out from behind her mother to stand before Lennie. She held out a hand to him, expecting a shake, yet was instantly surprised when Lennie placed a kiss on her hand.
“It is a pleasure meeting Coraline’s children.” he politely greeted, then feeling as Lily grabbed his hand and gave it a tight squeeze. Lennie could feel that she was trying to threaten him, yet he smiled.
“Of course. We just want you to know that we love our mother very much, so much. We would be angry if anybody hurt her.”
“Oh, Lily, hush.” Coraline pat her daughter’s head, then turning to look behind where the broken window still was of course. “Officer Green, may I ask for a quick favor?”
“Of course!”
“Can you keep an eye on the children whilst I go to pay our part of the bill?”
“Yes, don’t worry about it Ms. D’Vitt.”Lennie nodded before Coraline walked back. The officer looked back at the children who individually gave him a glare, whispering to each other in the Italian dialect once again.
“E' terribilmente basso per essere un poliziotto.(He’s awfully short for a cop.)"
"Sorride troppo. Pensavo che i poliziotti dovessero essere più cattivi e minacciosi.(He smiles too much. I thought cops were supposed to be meaner and threatening.)”
"E' meglio che non sia un altro di quei pretendenti idioti che cercano di corteggiare la madre.(He better not be another one of those idiotic suitors trying to court mother.)”
"Un altro di quei pretendenti?Cosa vuoi dire?(Another one of those suitors?""Whatever do you mean?)”
The children’s eyes widened as they all turned to Lennie who was still smiling, looking as polite as always, hearing as he replied to them.
"Lo ammetto, tua madre è una donna molto bella. Ma noi non siamo che semplici conoscenti.(I do admit, your mother is a very beautiful woman. We are but mere acquaintances however.)”
Their expressions were filled with complete shock as they looked at Lennie, his smile never faltering. He saw Lily turn to her brothers, whispering in a different dialect this time.
“Er kann Italienisch! Was, wenn er Mom das Zeug erzählt, das wir gesagt haben?(He knows Italian! What if he tells mom the stuff we said?)”
“Oh, ich w��rde nie über euch Kinder reden.(Oh, I would never tattle on you children.)” Lennie took a step towards the once again horrified kids. “Es tut mir leid, ich spreche auch zufällig Deutsch.(I’m sorry, I also happen to speak German.)”
Before any of the kids could speak again, they were interrupted by the sound of Coraline’s heels on the ground as she returnd.
“I’m back.Thank you so much Officer Green for watching over the kids.”
“Oh please Ms. D’Vitt.” Lennie chuckled while looking at her. “It’s no problem at all, and you can call me Lennie if you’d like.”
“Well then, Lennie.”Coraline quietly chuckled. “If we are to ever see each other again, or even know, you may call me Coraline.”
Lennie gave a nod as he kept on smiling at her, then directing his gaze to the children. Coraline soon gave a quiet sigh as Lily and Dante held each of her hands.
“I’m afraid we must be on our way now. I promised the children I would take them to the beach after this lunch.”
“Oh of course, then I’ll be on my way as well.” Lennie bowed his head slightly. “I hope to see you around some other time, Coraline.”
“As do I.” Coraline nodded, both adults parting ways as the children followed behind her like ducklings. They took one glance behind to look at Lennie who had turned to smile at Coraline. The children quietly scoffed at this before turning to look at their mother, surprised to see that she was smiling with a natural pink hue on her cheeks.

Female Characters and Friendships
I’m on an Anti-Plec roll, here’s Part 2, the first part was about the injust she’s done to Caroline and her previous ships. This continues on but is also about The Originals - it ended up being very TO heavy, if you only want to read The Originals, scroll down below the logo. At the end there is a little conclusion with both.
Now the injust to female characters that Plec and the team have done! This does not just relate to The Vampire Diaries but The Originals as well. In The Vampire Diaries, the female characters all had room for development, that matched the show. Teenagers learning about themselves into adulthood. Caroline, Elena and Bonnie had a strong friendship. They all became strong-willed women, they don’t need no man. Then they leave school and it all goes downhill. Bonnie always dies, no man treats her right. Enzo is the closest. Elena can’t decide between two guys became annoying and the Salvatore’s always had to help. Caroline became dependent on Stefan a guy who leaves a lot of the time, and fake-dated Alaric her teacher! Not to mention there would barely be any scenes between the girls. They could barely pass the bechdel test, it all became about boys. It just stounds me that an EP who claims to be a feminist has allowed the women to be like this, Bonnie is the strongest character that hasn’t been wrecked.
Now onto The Originals. Now, Julie gets a bit of a free pass since Michael Narducci is in charge. The original women on the show: Rebekah, Hayley, Sophie, Davina and Camille. Rebekah - a well loved character, her only storyline is about Marcel, Claire left so I don’t know if they intended for a love triangle or other storylines. Then the rest is to benefit Klaus. Then the rest of the female characters were either hated beforehand or had no fanbase. Let’s start with Hayley, she was hated beforehand (I saw potential, but she was badly written on TVD and it was clear that she was only there but the writers wanted Phoebe), they had to turn her fanbase around and they gave her power, but she was isolated for most of S1 and it was about her history (not complaining). But when Claire left, they elevated her to a lead and it didn’t help, she became a bit of a Mary-Sue and her only relationships are the wolves, Hope, Elijah and Klaus. Sophie - well not much needs to be said except that she was only there for half a season and it looked like she had a friendship with Cami, never saw it on screen. She died, wish they did more. Davina, was the only teenager and but she was underused as well. They spent too long with her storyline then for a while I couldn’t remember what she did. Her only relationship with Marcel and the witches. Kolvina were cute but they killed her off, probably because there were too many witches with Freya and Vincent that they could do her storylines. Finally, Camille. I’m not a Camille hater, I lowkey shipped her with Klaus in S1. But that character and Leah Pipes deserved better. She had all this potential with the human faction and her brother, but that all got sidelined to be Klaus’s love interest and therapist. I know she shared scenes with other characters but I can’t remember that their relationship were. I hated how they built Marcel and her up then nothing - it felt like they only added that to quell the hate, because of Klaroline. She shared scenes with Davina in S1, they had a slight friendship and it wasn’t developed. A lot of the time, she didn’t actually add anything to the plot. Things could of been done without her. The writers did mess up, yes the show is about family, but in S1 it had a Supernatural mafia thing going on with the factions and that could of been pushed forward. Leah Pipes did the best job in what was given to her. I know a lot hate her death, but that was probably some of the best work she was given in the role because a lot of dedication went into it, she had a whole episode, the only mistake is that only Klaus truly cared, because that was what she was confined to, it would of been nice to have others truly care and not just because Klaus is hurting. There is something poetic about how her death was written, if you look at TVD deaths or the other TO deaths they are done so callously - I’m ignoring Alaric since he came back and they ruined him.
I’m leaving Freya because I’m giving her another season, she is a latecomer. My point is that one thing, The Originals never got right was female characters and female friendships. Off-screen, it is clear that there was a friendship between the girls but the writers did not take advantage of that. Hayley has no girlfriends, she shared a few scenes with Davina and Cami, but you wouldn’t call them her friends, you’d say they are more the Mikaelsons’ or Marcel’s. Davina and Cami, they shared a few scenes in S1, showed that they cared. The perfect opportunity to develop a big sister/best friends relationship. But nothing happened. Cami, as I said, probably shared the most with Davina, but that got abandoned and she mostly ended up working with Klaus (Daniel Gillies was upset that Elijah wasn’t upset about her death, despite there brief friendship), She only had a few Hayley scenes in S3 and they weren’t friends, it was because Klaus told her to help Cami. Then in S1 it’s implied that Sophie and Cami are friends because they work together but nothing. All these female characters were isolated, where in TVD the whole cast feels like a gang because every character is friends with one other. There isn’t that in The Originals. I get it, it’s an adult show, but even with Damon off being bad, everyone did interact. One of the good things that the axe of Davina and Cami has brought is a smaller cast. Riley said that it will have more of a family feel. So hopefully Hayley and Freya will have more of a friendship that extends more than I’m your brother’s baby mamma, and maybe that can extend to family afterwards.
It just astounds me that these two shows and no female friendships or they are extinct. I do hope The Originals gets renewed. I heard that JP and MN were involved in S1, then Narducci was in charge of the rest. So with Julie taking over for S5, that could mean some female friendships developed because I believe S1 was when it was more about the development of the character. To conclude: Leah Pipes deserved better. Caroline Forbes deserved better. Davina deserved better. Bonnie always deserved better. The female characters deserved better. Female friendships deserve better.
Now, not many will agree, so feel free to hit me up for a fair balanced argument if you want. Maybe you agree about the female friendships but disagree with my views of the characters. I stress with The Originals, apart from Sophie, I quite like the women in the show, in season one I could see there potential but unfortunately it did not live up to that and despite a strong real life friendship, none was present on scene, which meant with the deaths of Davina and Cami, only one or two actually cared, and if others did it came off insincere or only cared because of another person.
MORE FEMALE FRIENDSHIPS. I mean Claire and Phoebe are BFFs in real life and they didn’t even do that. They had a scene early on about girls sticking together and that’s it. Also it would be nice to see why she could get on with Hayley but not many other girls.
Literally, just have an episode where it’s a girls night out and they have fun, kick ass and save the day. They had that awesome girl power episode in S1, even if they still aren’t friends. They deserve some fun!

Family;
Soori & Nayoung & Young: The three of them are half siblings all due to their father. But while Nayoung & Young know about each other, Soori doesn’t know about either of them. Nayoung doesn’t know about Soori but Young does know about Soori. He just isn’t sure how to approach him yet. Leo & Soori: The two grew up together in California, they’re cousins. They’re the closest in age of all their cousins and ended up close. Soori moved to study in Korea so that he could be close to Leo after the death of his mother. Haeju & Casey: Haeju and Casey are sibling in laws. While Casey and Kai aren’t married they consider themselves that. Haeju is also going to be the uncle of Casey’s soon to be born baby.
Barnyard boys; a group of boys who ended up finding themselves on sejun’s farm and bonding for life. while they aren’t always together due to the distance, their hearts are always together. they’re also always texting each other and calling and keeping each other updated.
Kyuhan Bae. Sejun Na. Isaac Hong.***
**Kyuhan & Sejung: Kyuhan after he was disowned ended up wandering to the country side. Half starved, he found himself trying to steal eggs from Sejun’s farm even though he had no way to cook them. Sejung found him and was utterly amused before taking Kyuhan in. They’ve been close friends since then, Sejun’s farm is the one place that Kyuhan loves spending time at even though he’s always been more of a city boy. Kyuhan & Isaac: Kyuhan met Isaac when Isaac was working freelance. Isaac was in charge of doing his photoshoot for a lot of magazine, but they ended up keep running into each other. He saw how Isaac was quieter and not very good at taking care of himself, and then he found out that Isaac was in need of a place to stay. Since Kyuhan had just moved in to his new place he told Isaac to live with him. Since he found out about Isaac’s real job as a stripper and involvement with the mafia he’s become very protective and motherly of Isaac. Isaac calls him mamma. Sejun & Isaac: A while after they met Kyuhan brought Isaac to the farm. It was Isaac’s first time and he immediately fell in love with sheep and chickens, chasing them around like a small child. Sejun felt really protective over him due to his kind hearted nature, even more so when Kyuhan told Sejun of Isaac’s situation. Sejun since has been very fatherly over Isaac who never had a father, chastising him but also teaching him new things. Due to his Isaac calls Sejun dad.
Other / mafia;
Kyuhan Bae. Isaac Hong. Jax Ryu. Sunny Ryu. Luna Go. Haeju Son.***
**Kyuhan & Jax: Sometimes Kyuhan doesn’t know if he should feel grateful to Jax or hate him for what happened with Isaac. But they have come to a cross point where they just both choose to look after Isaac. Since they’re both dating someone in their lovers’ mafia they end up meeting a lot or hearing about each other a lot. They have more of a camaraderie than a friendship. Jax & Isaac: Isaac when his father’s debts were thrusted upon him and his legs were broken by the mafia, Jax was the one who stopped them from killing him or using him for drugs or worse. Isaac was the one who suggested that Isaac become a stripper since he was a pretty boy and he was a good dancer. Due to this Jax ended up saving Isaac’s life and Isaac feels indebted to Jax. Meanwhile, Jax feels like he set Isaac up to a worse fate. Sunny & Isacc: Whenever Isaac gets hurt Sunny is the one who watches over him with Kyuhan. This is due to the way Jax introduced them after Isaac came into their lives. Jax who avoids Isaac because of guilt, usually leaves him in the hands of Sunny. Sunny enjoys spending time with Isaac because he’s really nice and really good at boardgames. Sunny & Kyuhan: Kyuhan and Sunny don’t have anything more than a passing relationship of saying hello. While she and Isaac are friends, it’s kind of like knowing your friend’s mom. Luna & Isaac: Luna’s dad took a special interest in Isaac because of Jax and how pretty Isaac was. Due to this Luna’s father used Isaac as his personal stripper / pet. While it makes Isaac really hate himself at first Luna tired his best to keep Isaac away from his father. After Luna kills Danny and leaves the mafia, he was no longer able to do that. Still Isaac was grateful for all the help Luna gave him before he left. Haeju & Luna: Haeju and Luna used to hook up because Luna thought Haeju was attractive. Usually when Haeju would go drinking with his friends they would end up meeting. Since they stopped hooking up due to Haeju leaving and coming back, and Luna’s relationship, they’ve become very unlikely friends. They aren’t close but Haeju and Luna do talk a lot. Haeju & Taesung: Haeju and Taesung have a friendship, while they’re not close, they know each other due to Taesung dating someone he’s close to. Riis & Bee: Riis works at a gallery that Bee often promotes her art at when she does bother to do shows. He admires her work and thinks it’s very beautiful. He also admires her as a person with drive and energy due to how bad her life was growing up. Riis & Emery: He’s met Emery in passing many times due to Emery helping Bee a lot. He thinks Emery is really cute, like everyone’s younger brother.
