I think this may be me being unable to read, but, as I understand it: A gay MC is not forced to marry and have kids in game, however, we could still choose to marry with an opposite gender character. Is that right? Because I like the idea of having kids, but I'm going to play as a muscle hunk gay man no matter what. Basically a gay Uriel, that's my plan.
Speaking of Uriel: Do we get a chance to speak about being homosexual with our parents? On one hand, this is something that does matter to the kingdom: we are crown prince, after all. On the other, this is a world that ought to be more traditional when it comes to romance, so it's possible a gay MC would not want to risk losing their parents favor.
That said, if it's not too spoilery: What do our parents, and Remiel, think of a gay MC? Does it change if we still decide to marry with an opposite gender person, even if we will never love them as a spouse should be loved? Do they think there is some element of tragedy to it all?
"...we could still choose to marry with an opposite gender character."
That's right, but only with Edward and Cheris.
Yes, youll have the chance to speak about it with your parents later on. Both will support you. Once you do, Adelina will explain how marriage with same sex works in the empire. Uriel will support you. If this were modern times he'd be a loud and proud ally lmao.
"On the other, this is a world that ought to be more traditional when it comes to romance, so it's possible a gay MC would not want to risk losing their parents favor."
You would not lose your parent's favor. Unfortunately, the kingdom does not share the open cultural acceptance of homosexual marriages at the noble level, doubly so for one at the royal level. Commoners are free to marry as they please, nobles have a duty to produce more offspring with as Blessed dynasty should.
Its only in the empire where youll have no questions asked so long as the rules outlined in the Imperial Church regarding homosexual marriage are still followed and upheld.
Remiel would not support you if you try having a same-sex marriage. Not because of bigotry, but because "Why are you complicating things". Simply put, he'll say that a gay marriage has never been made at the royal level even in the empire, and ducal gay marriages are extremely rare for a reason. There's too much risk involved politically.
If you share that you are gay or bi, but go forward with a Lavender Marriage, your entire family will take pity and will support you cause yeah, it is tragic. Adelina will only accept a Lavender Marriage if your spouse is in agreement and know about your sexuality. Thankfully, we have Cheris and Edward who are also begging for a sympathetic counterpart to marry also and produce a single heir to satisfy their societal expectations.
Honestly, the dynamic will go like this:
WARNING, this is LONG:

Finnie you make my silly boy brain bounce around happily. So I decided to finally ask for a mini fic thingy
Zero year riddler getting fucked with his own cane and being a whiny mess
I'm sorry I think I'm funny
Insertion
Capullo!Riddler x Female!Reader, word count: 700 thanks anon! let's get silly about bad boys together lmao this is a smashing idea and he deserves it, and it was a nice accompaniment to this post here💚 request info • prompt list • send me a request • kofi • masterlist minors DNI!! 🔞 cw: anal toys, anal penetration, whiny subby nasty eddie
Tumblr media
He was surprisingly complacent, very docile, as you approached him silently from behind. He tensed, of course, but that was to be expected. He’d never done anything like this before. You were shredding away the last bastion of what could be considered virginity. And you suspected he was quietly excited about that, despite his insistence that he was doing this for your pleasure, not for his.
Besides that, what you thought would be a hard sell due to the immense amounts of toxic masculinity which drowned and smothered any humanity left in him, had been a quick agreement with a clarification as to whether or not it changed his sexuality. Which was great, because it meant you were getting to do what you’d be thinking of for a while, but also terrible, because every time he, Edward Nygma, smartest man in Gotham, said something so stupid, it made him around about 2% less attractive. But that didn’t matter as much now that you were in the moment.
Tightening your grip around the narrow handle of his cane, you noted the way it tapered towards the bottom to a dull, rounded point. The perfect size.
“You ready?”
“Yeah, jut hurry up!”
Eddie was bent over the table, his shirt still on, but nothing on his bottom half. His position was eager, his ass stuck out and legs spread wide. The lube glistened around his hole, streaking his cheeks with the matte sheen. Coating the bottom of the cane with more, you then pressed it to him. Cold, hard, not inserted yet, merely pressing.
“Feel good?”
“It feels like nothing.”
“How about now then?”
You pushed a little, past the tight, puckered hole, and he let out a moan. It was obvious he had tried to hold it in, but with his fingers clenching the edge of the table he was bent over, there was nothing to cover up his gaping mouth.
“How does that feel?”
No answer, his body was still focused on accommodating the ever increasing length of his own cane inside of him, millimetre by millimetre. Still no protest, no sign of him stopping in pain. He took it well, like a very good boy, which was surprising since he was anything but.
“Do you want more, Eddie?”
Still silent, but he arched his spine, pushing back onto the cane. You held it steady, letting him fuck himself on it, gazing at the white-knuckle grip, the way his cheeks clenched as he sank further onto the length inside of him. And the entire time, he moaned and whined, like the greedy little slut you knew he was all along.
Still holding onto the cane, you twisted in your hands, the slight notches tingling against his insides. He clenched his teeth, spit frothing behind them and spilling out as he screamed in pleasure. You could feel him, desperate for more, back himself onto the length harder, being quite brutal with himself. At one point, he let go of his grip on the table’s edge, reaching behind himself to grab at his cheeks, spreading them apart, making a show of himself. Eager to ease the insertion, to make it faster, more frequent, just more.
But he let go pretty swiftly, one hand back to holding on, the other gripping his now stiff, short cock, pumping at it vigorously as he slid his ass up and down the cane. You pressed it into him with each thrust, offering him a little more than he could take by himself, relishing the howls that fell from his mouth, the mumbled notes of praise, words that didn’t make much sense to anyone but him and his fucked out brain.
And then it was over. He was spilling his load onto his closed fist, dripping onto the floor with a grunt, followed by a gasp as he tried to find himself again. With great care, slowly and delicately, he eased himself off the impressive length he had managed to take and remained facing away from you. You suspected to hide his flushed face, or a lopsided smile of intense pleasure at the orgasm he had given himself. You didn’t ask, you didn’t push. You just caressed his rear, giving one cheek a playful tap before you left him alone with his thoughts. You imagined he might have a lot to think about.

D.U.D.E Part 9 - Your Man (Set in 2020)
Note: This is set in a universe where Men VS Women / Intergender matches can happen.
Tumblr media
Chapter 1: here Chapter 2: here Chapter 3: here Chapter 4: here Chapter 5: here Chapter 6: here Chapter 7: here Chapter 8: here

Around 2000 Words. 18+ in places (those chapters will be marked as 'Mature / sexual content' just to be safe). Please inform me if you wish to be tagged or untagged from posts. If the text is in italics and orange it's Kirby's inner monologue. If the text is coloured but not in italics, it's either dialogue or a P.O.V change (P.O.V changes will be in bold and translated dialogue will appear in square [ ] brackets), Key below. Quick note on Geia's text colour: Yes I do know that as Greed she should be in yellow but I decided to colour the men's dialogue yellow so Geia was changed to be pink like the other women in the story outside of the main 8.
2nd Quick note: Eddie's parents are named (in the story) Ruth & Earl, and his brother is Eric. I have not yet decided on a name for Eddie's sister-in-law.
The Main 8: Damo - Bio. Vi - Bio. Billie - Bio. Geia - Bio. Kirby - Bio. Honey - Bio. Eli - Bio. Sara - Bio.
Tumblr media
Eli's Vlog / Stream P.O.V:
At six Eddie and Kirby show up, joining Eli and Geia on camera, the stream in a 20 second countdown, allowing them to get settled on the two beds. Geia and Eli on one, Kirby and Eddie on the other.
"Bonjour à tous, bienvenue mesdames et messieurs. Ce soir, nous jouons à Minecraft avec Geia, Kirby et Eddie. [Hello everybody, welcome ladies and gets. Tonight we are playing Minecraft with Geia, Kirby and Eddie.]"
"Before anyone, especially Hound, says anything. Kirby didn't faint from shock, there's a lot of rumours going around. Allow her to clear them up." Geia explains, gesturing for Kirby to talk.
"Thanks Geia. Uhm, where do I begin... for those who know about my history, you'll know I used to have anaemia on and off. After the show last night I fainted, not from shock or anxiety, but because my iron level had dropped significantly since we flew out to Jacksonville. But that means I'm back on iron tablets, and I'm also taking Xanax to deal with my anxiety." Kirby explains, leaning back between Eddie's legs.
"Wow, Hound's first question of the stream, 'why is Eddie here? I thought he'd be with Moxley'."
"I'm here, 'Hound', 'cause I gotta look after my girl." Eddie shrugs.
"Yeah, and because you met my parents today, so Eddie's not letting not letting me out of his sight, unless I need the bathroom."
"So Eddie is going to be here, until, you know, either the stream ends or you two decide to leave?" Geia asks softly.
The stream goes for the full two hours, going over their allotted time by about a minute.
Gluttony's P.O.V:
Eddie drives himself and Kirby back to their motel, carrying his half-asleep girlfriend to the bed. The following morning (Saturday 15th, August, 2020), Eddie's smoking on the balcony, Moxley and him chatting when Kirby wakes up.
"I told ya, Mox, my Ma's been fretting over Kirby since she got here."
"You did tell Ruthie that Kirby's basically your wife." Moxley chuckles.
"Yeah, I know I did, but every time my Ma has a worry about Kirby, she comes back in here... Woah, hey gorgeous." Eddie's jaw drops when he sees Kirby.
Tumblr media
Kirby stands in the balcony doorway, dressed in just a bikini, "Are you two talking about me?"
"Yeah, Eddie's mother, Ruthie, has been worrying about you after Eddie said you fainted." Mox explains, not looking up from his phone.
"I know I've seen you naked, but damn, are ya try tryin' to kill me wit' that body of yours?"
"Nope, I was gonna suggest we go down to the beach, let our parents talk the day away, have an actual date... just the two of us." She whispers, pulling Eddie into a gentle kiss.
"Deal, me and you, all day long... fuck, you look so goddamn sexy."
"Eddie... Edward, my face is up here, my tits can't talk." Kirby chuckles softly, lifting his chin gently.
When Eddie's eyes meet Kirby's he smirks, "Mox, go out front and block the door. Don't let anyone in for the next ten minutes."
Mox rolls his eyes but does as Eddie asks, The moment Mox is out of the room, Eddie capitalises on the opportunity, lifting Kirby by her thighs & ass and tossing her on the bed; he climbs over her and yanks her bikini bottoms down, before practically ripping his belt, jeans and boxers off; he teases her for a minute, getting her soaked and squirming before sliding in, making out with her as they make love.
"I'm gonna fuckin' make everybody know, I'm the only man who can fuck you like this." He growls against her lips.
"Fuck, King... Eddie, you're getting me pregnant is what you're doing, you handsome deviant." She whispers between moans.
"Livin' up to my end of the deal, 'Princess', my parent's need to meet you. After that, I'm gonna find the perfect ring, I'll marry ya pretty ass, then I'm fuckin' ya in every place available, bedrooms, bathrooms, fuckin' elevators if I can."
"You'd fuck me in public?" She asks, digging her nails into his back, "fuck, Eddie, right there... oh Papi."
Eddie doubles his pace, groaning loudly as he finishes inside her, breathing deeply as he lays on top of Kirby. She smiles softly as she catches her breath.
"My girl," he growls, "my fuckin' queen. Your last name may mean 'Exalted King', but you are a fuckin' queen, my fuckin' queen."
"Is that your way of asking me to marry you?"
"It's my way of sayin' that, but more my way of sayin', I'll marry you no matter what."
Kirby kisses Eddie deeply, feeling his dick twitch inside her. Eddie groans gutturally as he gets up and cleans both of them up. He gets dressed in his 'usual' get-up, boxers, jeans, timbs, a white tank-top, his rosaries, a black graphic t-shirt and Yankees cap.
"You're a fuckin' tease," He whispers, tossing one of Kirby's 'ready made outfits' at her, "I'll take ya to the beach, if you put this on."
Tumblr media
"I need shoes, Eddie." she grumbles as she gets dressed.
"I'll get ya a pair of timbs, you'll be fine." He shrugs.
"Wow, my very own pair of timbs, it's like we're married already." Kirby jokes softly.
Eddie pulls her in close to him, kissing her deeply, his eyes only moving from her own when Mox walks back in, followed by Eddie's parents. Kirby looks over and blushes, a wave of fearful and nervous energy flooding her mind, clearing her throat and going to button up her shirt.
Eddie takes her hands in his, "breathe, beautiful, you'll be fine." He whispers.
"Ah, she's awake, hola mi nueva nuera. cómo está [hello my new daughter-in-law. How are you doing]?" Eddie's mother asks.
"Estoy bien, debes ser la mamá de Eddie [I'm good, you must be Eddie's mother], Ruthie?"
"Oh wow, you do speak Spanish, I thought Eddie was fuckin' with us." Eddie's dad chuckles.
Eddie's mother looks over at him, mouthing 'Earl, shush'.
"I speak a lot of languages, English isn't actually my first language either, nor is Spanish."
"It isn't?" Eddie asks, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"Nope, it's my fourth. I speak Welsh, Irish, Scots Gaelic, English, French, Spanish and Japanese."
"Anythin' else I should know about ya?" Eddie chuckles softly.
"Uhm... I have a bachelor's degree, I went to college and university, the scar on my face is from a botched moment in a death-match." Kirby murmurs.
"You have a... how the fuck are you wit' me?" Eddie whispers.
"I like you, correction, I love you. You make me happy, you protect me, especially when I can't protect myself."
"You have a bachelor's degree?" Eddie's mother, 'Ruthie', asks.
"Yeah, I have a degree in 'costume and makeup design for film and television'." Kirby smiles softly.
Ruth rushes up to Kirby, hugging her tightly, Kirby looks at Eddie for help as her anxiety rises.
"Ma, take it slow, Kirby hasn't taken her anxiety meds." Eddie explains, grabbing Kirby's medication for her.
"Thank you, Kingy. I'm all for hugs and affection, but I have to either be on these, or know and trust you first." Kirby explains as she takes her medication, grabbing her phone and making a note, making sure she doesn't take too much.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, from how your parents described you, I would have never guessed."
"My parents usually leave out certain things, like how, I'm a giant, I have autism, I struggle with anxiety, you know, little things, but those little things add up over time."
"They also left out the fact you have a tattoo on your lower back." Eddie smirks.
"Edward." Ruth scolds, smacking Eddie's arm.
Eddie's father, 'Earl', chuckles softly, shaking his head and patting Kirby's shoulder, "Welcome to the family, Kid."
"Oh, uhm, thanks... I'm still getting used to everything," she mumbles, "hold on, Eddie, one sec."
"Yea, what's up, sweetheart?" Eddie asks softly.
"Is that... is that my Ice Cube 'The Predator' album shirt?"
"Yea, maybe, it was on my side of the bed." He shrugs
"Oh, I wonder why my shirt was on your side of the bed, Mr Kingston, Six-feet of sin, you are." Kirby teases playfully.
Eddie smirks and winks at Kirby, "You know you love me."
"I do, but you're gonna make my shirt smell like cigarettes. I like when you smell like cigarettes, but my stuff?"
"I'll wash it tomorrow. Today, though, I'm takin' you to the beach."
Eddie manages to talk his parents into spending the day with Kirby's folks, saying 'bye' to Moxley, driving Kirby (and himself) down to the beach, parking up and choosing the perfect place to sit on the sand. Eddie sits and watches as Kirby places down a blanket, before she returns to the car.
"Babe, what are you doin'?" Eddie asks, turning to look at Kirby.
She walks back, with a cooler in one hand and two pizza boxes in the other, "What, you didn't think I'd prepare for a date?"
"I leave you with ya parents, for five minutes, and you get all that?" He chuckles softly.
"Yeah, my mother knows what I like, she guessed what you would like, texted me she was gonna set something up, and this is the result." She explains, placing down the cooler and pizzas, as she this next to Eddie.
Tumblr media
"I love your family." Eddie whispers.
"You love my parents and me, Eddie, you haven't met anyone else." Kirby murmurs, covering her mouth as she eats.
They sit together for about two hours, talking, kissing and holding each other close. Eddie makes them leave when it starts getting crowded, driving to a mall, cursing under his breath when he sees the crowd there.
"Eddie, we'll be fine, they'll barely notice us." Kirby whispers, putting her sunglasses on as she gets out of the car.
"You sure?" Eddie asks, staring at Kirby's ass from the driver's seat.
"Yeah, I'm sure. They're too busy crowding around that table, it looks like a petition thing."
Kirby shuts the passenger door, Eddie grumbles as he climbs out of the car. He holds Kirby's hand, leading her through the maze of stores, taking her to a jewellers.
"I want ya to find yourself a ring, one you think is perfect, I'll buy it." Eddie whispers.
Kirby nods and walks around the store, Eddie holding her hand, eventually she sees it, her 'perfect' ring, silver with an amber stone, slightly Celtic in style, sleek and simple but beautiful.
Tumblr media
"That one," She whispers to Eddie, "that's my perfect ring."
Eddie smiles softly, "That one, the pretty little orange one? That could leave a mark... if you punched someone."
Kirby picks it up, getting it sized while Eddie waits, and they walk out with the ring, in a box. Eddie takes Kirby to get her shoes next, her own pair of timbs.
"You wear a size sixteen?" Eddie asks, holding the box of black timberland boots.
"Yeah, I am a giant, Eddie." Kirby shrugs.
"I know that, just... didn't expect you to wear anythin' bigger than a size ten."
"A size ten, on a six-ten frame?"
"Yea, ya right, dumb of me to assume... made an ass outta you and me." He murmurs.
"What?" She raises an eyebrow in confusion.
"Assuming shit, makes an ass outta you and me." He shrugs.
"Oh... I like it...Ooh, Eddie look, lingerie."
"No, you want me to have a heart attack, you in lingerie would kill me."
"Oh come on, just one outfit, just the one, please?"
"A'ight, one. Just one." Eddie groans.
Kirby grins, leading Eddie inside the store and looking for a single outfit. Eddie's breath catches in his throat, making him cough and head to the nearest bathroom. Kirby continues looking, working her way through the way through the store, taking a photo of every item she likes. She soon finds a two-piece set, bright and 'fun' looking, she pays for it before texting Eddie that she'll be outside the store.
Tumblr media
Kirby waits for five minutes, slowly getting worried for Eddie. He walks out of the bathroom, red-faced and breathless.
"Edward Moore, do not tell me that you did what I think you did, you did not, you better have not." She grumbles.
"What, you're the one who took me in a fuckin' sex shop." He shrugs.
"Eddie, one, it's not a sex shop, it's a lingerie store, and two, did you really just wank one out in a public bathroom?"
Eddie smirks, "Would've taken you with me if I got your attention."

alright, i know you specifically mentioned sleepaway camp, but i’d REALLY like to draw attention to the story which i believe inspired the movie: the case of david reimer
david reimer was originally born as bruce peter reimer with his identical twin brother brian reimer. i don’t think i need to explain the importance of them being twin brothers. now, both boys developed phimosis, which led to their referral of circumcision at 7 months old
the first boy they planned to circumcise was peter, and his was done so through electrocauterization. which…
Tumblr media
not unusual for brenner!
the thing about this procedure was that the doctor fucked it up hard and essentially burned peter’s dick off. because of this, they decided not to operate on brian, and his phimosis cleared up on its own
basically, the parents of these kids took peter to a “gender specialist” known as john money (aka the worst human being ever). he recommended peter undergo a sex reassignment surgery and be raised as brenda reimer
now, i’m gonna skip ahead in this timeline really quick just because david’s death does support the belief that edward is the one who got fucked up here. david shot himself in the head with a sawed off shotgun.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
yeah so this is definitely edward
i only mention all of this as a potential parallel because it does seem like sleepaway camp was inspired by the story and. lines up pretty well with edward too
warning for child sexual abuse below the cut
alright, so this is kinda more speculatory, but what’s so horrific about the case of david and brian, beyond what was done to david, is that they were forced to partake in “sexual rehearsal” with each other under john money’s watch and command.
beginning at age six till nearly 14, the boys were forced to rehearse sex with each other as money believed this was what would be key to their gender development.
Tumblr media
we already know that brenner likely commits sexual abuse with these children and we definitely know that virginia, if not doing anything herself, permitted and encouraged it. the photography of the boys gets me because we know brenner records edward being tortured by those electric shocks
money also happened to get very aggressive with the boys and demand things of them. whenever they tried to resist, he’d get angrier.
Tumblr media
this specific event being noted by the brothers is also important because of how we see el react to her new clothes. brenner clearly did not care about her privacy and had her change in front of people, and this behavior is mirrored by john money
really, what this would mean in terms of edward having given birth to el himself, is that the father very likely could’ve came from henry. i’m not too sure how the genetics of powers apply, so i won’t dive deep into this possibility, but . yk. brenner is a horrible awful person as per usual
basically all this is is just. yeah . edward totally could’ve given birth to those kids, including el. henry may even be the father! these are not separate concepts!
Mother is God, In The Eyes of a Child
This has got to be my farthest-fetched theory, and its more of a collection of observations that weave together than an actual theory. However...there's something distinctly weird about all this.
It started here:
Max steps on spider egg sacs in Vecna's mind lair, and the babies spill out.
Tumblr media
"If there's a spider, you're never gonna find it 'till it lays eggs and the babies spill out"
Tumblr media
Then Vecna killing Patrick while looking distinctly like a spider on a web, a direct comparison to those black widows.
Tumblr media
And I talked in the discord chat talking with Em for a while like. They. They wouldn't. Right? And I've been sitting here thinking about the last time I said "they wouldn't...right?" So here we go.
"Of course you have a mother. You couldn't really have been born without one."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But Mama is dead...
Tumblr media
just like One doesn't exist.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And whoever you are, either you aren't home (which, you're "Terry's daughter" in Terry's home which was decorated for you in hopes that you'd come home 🤨)...or you aren't Terry's daughter.
Tumblr media
but wait: Mr. Mom? Perfect!
Tumblr media
Mr. Mom...which leads straight to the lab going haywire:
Tumblr media
Because of the Mind Flayer, who we know is (most likely) a version of Edward.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And "sleepyhead" is a parent thing...but it's specifically a mom thing, and it comes from the guy who's likely Edward. Why are you, as a man, so distinctly mother?
Tumblr media
And so I'm looking at all of his God coding:
And I'm looking at his talk of spiders, particularly black widows, being the gods of our world:
Tumblr media
There's also this particular dialogue parallel with Carrie's mother:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As well as Black Widow "God of Our World" 001 and Henry "Sensitive (Gay) Child" Creel, framed this way in back to back shots.
Tumblr media
One of them has the rainbow flag and the other's got the black widow spider, makes sense...right? (Sure. Except not really.)
He also has a ton of God coding in his music choices:
Except, when we look at the songs he alone or he and El are overlaid with...Akhnaten is functionally a mezzo-soprano. In the pieces we hear specifically, Akhnaten sings in the same range or higher than Nefertiti.
Tumblr media
Which then gets me thinking about the Silent Hill parallels (that Em has talked about here), and specifically this one line of dialogue from Dahlia:
Tumblr media
And the fact that every single black widow spider reference regarding Henward/Vecna/001 has been about female black widows, never male ones:
Tumblr media
As well as a good portion of his rant being about:
- Being vaguely broken (what's wrong with him is never said) - His kinship with spiders (specifically the female black widows) - Society's oppressive made-up rules - Being forced to pretend (unspecificed as to what, exactly, he's pretending about...all we get is "a silly, terrible play") - Reproduction
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then the fact that Vecna kind of has a thing for showing up as mothers:
Tumblr media
And on top of all that...the fact that Vecna somehow lost his dick along the way. Where did it go????????
Tumblr media
There's also all the birthing and reproduction imagery that goes along with the UD, most blatantly in the scene where El crawls out of the same hole the Demogorgon came through:
Tumblr media
As well as these movies from the ST4 Movie Board:
Ace Ventura Pet Detective: Finkle has a sex change to assume a new identity and seek vengeance.
Let The Right One In: Vampire girl who is really a boy being forced to live as a girl
Sleepaway Camp: Girl named Angela who is actually a boy named Peter being forced by his aunt to live as a girl after his twin sister (the real Angela) was killed in an accident. (Wibble knows more about this one than I do, but I'm staring at Peter Ballard and all of our Angela's parallels to the lab)
Splice: Female Human-Animal hybrid "dies" (is actually in a coma) and undergoes a spontaneous sex change to male and proceeds to go berserk.
Silence of the Lambs: Main villain is a blonde, wavy-haired cross-dressing serial killer.
And then with the parallels to Room (even if it isn't on the ST4 Movie Board):
Plus Will's Alan Turing poster and the castration stuff that goes along with that..and the "Henry" that shows up behind him:

What in the gender is going on here?

okay so i want to talk about the toe scene for a sec because a couple of us have been discussing izzy and such on this post and i want to dig deeper into this elsewhere, so it can be avoided if uncomfortable
tw for talk of sexual assault as comparison, and y'know, canon dismemberment
a lot of us like to joke about how izzy was soooo into the toe thing, like clearly this was right up his machoistic little alley, and sure. okay. yeah, i can see that. he looks downright horny when Edward chokeslams him into the wall, he clearly enjoys things like that, so i'm not going to disagree that there was a "i am getting off on this shit" glint in his eye when the toe scene happened, nor am i going to say it wasn't up his alley
but i want to talk a little in depth about the scene and how it was framed and how it was done.
Firstly, I want to stress just how downright nonconsensual the whole business was. If Edward had stormed up to Izzy, wrestled him down onto the nearest piece of furniture, held his foot still and snipped off his toe, that would have been less sa-coded in my eyes.
Instead what we got was Izzy fast asleep, alone in his room, and Edward slipping in during the dead of night to abuse Izzy's body without his consent. He hovers over him, puts it into his mouth, murmurs, "Don't cry, it's just the pinky. Come on, open up your fucking mouth now," and also, "Clean yourself up, come find me."
It's downright creepy and it's deliberately framed that way, but the undertones are also achingly clear there.
Now, if you're able without it being horrifying, imagine if that wasn't a toe, it was a different kind of assault. The framing wouldn't have to be all that different, really. Izzy wouldn't have to be any less dressed. The positions wouldn't have to change all that much. Even the dialogue could have stayed the same, except for the one word of 'pinky' and 'I'll feed you the rest'.
And you can also argue that had Blackbeard slunk in during the night and fucked Izzy, that Izzy would've be really into that, too! And yeah, his half-asleep, fuzzy-brained self might have been into it, and his body might've been into it too.
The issue just continues to be in either case: Izzy couldn't and didn't consent to any of it so it doesn't really matter in the long-term.
If it was sex, we could argue that maybe this was something he used to do with Blackbeard. Maybe they had an agreement already that Ed could slink in during the dead of night for a good time and it was okay. But Izzy seems to have all his toes and other parts of his body, so it's pretty unlikely this is something they've done before.
So instead you have Edward coming into his room in the dark, assaulting him, and Izzy seemingly being into it.
Which...does not really matter.
Either way, after Edward leaves, Izzy is left tidying himself up. He has to sit up, lick his wounds, clean himself up of any blood or mess that was made, in the case of the toe scene bandage himself, and in either case be left with the emotional and psychological aftermath of one hell of an assault.
The adrenaline wears off. The pain kicks in fully. The threat that Edward will come back and do it again hangs over his head. The fact Edward did it to begin with hangs over his head.
You then have shame: shame he pushed Edward so far, shame he made Edward feel he had to do something like that because he threatened him, shame he didn't fight back, possibly shame he enjoyed it in the moment, all intertwined with pain and injury.
And then you have this moment where he's had time to swallow down (no pun intended) all of those things and hobble out to see what other havoc he's caused.
Tumblr media
And now he's left with the consequences. He has to handle Fang if he gets upset Lucius is dead, he has to handle Ivan who had integrated nicely into Bonnet's crew, he has to handle Bonnet's crew, he has to handle Jim and Frenchie since Edward has decided to keep them.
All while hobbling and licking the wounds of the trauma he just got put through in the dead of night by the person he trusted most in this god forsaken world and would do anything for if Edward just learned how to ask.

Note
What if Bella had met the Volturi's as a child? What would it change and what ties do you think it would have?
It’d change a fair amount, as in, the entire plot of Twilight would have been derailed. Or, that is, it might change nothing at all.
So, we have three options here. 
Nothing Changes
Bella is an extraordinarily delicious child visiting Italy and the small medieval town of Volterra.
If Bella doesn’t happen to be on the tour, probably whoever’s looking at her sighs, looks longingly at her delicious blood, and then walks away. The Volturi do not lose control in their own city.
Bella goes on her merry way and Twilight presumably happens. Except maybe Bella goes to Alice, “Oh yeah, Volterra, I went there once. Nifty place, nice buildings.” Alice stares.
Bella’s Eaten
Bella’s an extraordinarily delicious child whose mother thinks it’s a great idea to sign them up for the tour of Volterra castle. It’s a very exclusive tour you know! Bella’s eaten almost immediately, she’s probably fought over, Jane gets one limb and Alec gets another.
Years later, Edward arrives in Forks, his personal purgatory where he listens to the banal thoughts of teenagers. Bella Swan does not arrive. Edward continues to be miserable and depressed.
The Cullens have a game of baseball with James, Laurent, and Victoria. Unfortunately, James recognizes Alice, and is intrigued enough to come after her. Unfortunately, Alice is a vampire and not a human with human relatives to hold hostage. The Cullens murder him, Laurent flees to have sex with the sexy Denali ladies, and Victoria swears vengeance upon Jasper.
Unfortunately, her gift tells her that any attempt to murder Jasper will end up with her dead. Jasper doesn’t give her the time needed to plan. He hunts her down and murders her in cold blood.
Carlisle has the world’s worst weekend. 
Edward is still depressed and concludes this is why vampires are abominations without souls. Irina gets to keep her boyfriend, he cheats on the diet and leaves within the year. Irina drowns herself in rebound sex with pretty mortals to try and feel better abou tbeing dumped. It doesn’t work.
Aro Discovers Bella
And this is probably the route you were thinking of.
Perhaps Aro’s taking a midnight stroll with Renata, perhaps he catches Bella on the tour, but somehow he manages to meet her and happens to brush her hand. Suddenly, eating Bella is off the table forever.
Bella’s gift isn’t game changing in the way Alec and Jane’s were, necessarily, but it is something Aro does not want falling into enemy hands and something he may one day need.
He’d probably do something similar to what he intended to do with Alec and Jane. He’d leave her to live her mortal life, keep close tabs on her, and turn her when she’s a young adult (probably around twenty).
Which means Bella returns to America, probably tailed by Demetri, and has no awareness that she is at some poing going to become an immortral blood drinking creature and move to Italy to become a member of an ancient vampire sect.
Bella moves to Forks, she has a run in with Edward Cullen who very nearly eats her, Demetri calls Aro to say “we have a problem”. At first, Aro isn’t too concerned, he’s delighted to hear that Carlisle’s alive and well and my god he has a coven now. Given Edward is Carlisle’s progeny, Aro is probably sure Edward will leave the city completely to avoid temptation and the others will quickly move on.
Edward’s back within the week. He attends school. He sits within a foot of Bella Swan in Biology class.
Demetri at this point probably summons Bella out of school in the middle of Biology with no warning, gets her the hell away from Edward, and has to come up with the world’s most ridiculous lie of why she should never enter within 20 feet of Edward Cullen ever again.
Demetri is a federal agent and Edward is under suspicion of being a sexual predator and serial murderer. Here are all the women who have disappeared in various towns the Cullen family have lived in.
Bella is of course horrified and shocked, but given Edward’s reaction in that first Biology class and his weirdness in the second one... 
Aro calls Carlisle. It’s a very awkward talk. Carlisle apologizes for not writing in forever he got... distracted. Aro says it’s fine, no big, CARLISLE MISSED WATCHING THE MOON LANDING WITH HIM. But regardless, Aro is calling to ask him what the fuck.
Aro tells him about Bella, Carlisle is very uncomfortable with this girl having no choice but to become a vampire and no idea what’s going to happen to her, but there’s no talking Aro out of it. He’s even more uncomfortable that he has been begging Edward to skip town but, for some unknown reason that is perhaps pride, Edward is refusing. 
“All these worlds are yours,” Aro undoubtedly says, “Except Europa, attempt no landing there.”
In other words, hands off Isabella Swan.
Carlisle tells Edward. Edward is appalled and conflicted. At this point, he’s unwillingly fascinated by Bella but has not yet decided he’s in love. He doesn’t quite have her Carlisle persona crafted yet  and so she’s not the saintly figure deserving of worship. Right now she’s just this plain, boring, girl who dared to smell delicious.
So, a part of him thinks it serves her right. Now she will suffer for all eternity as he does. More, he can save face, the monster inside him can go back to sleep for her days are number and he can pretend he’s the wonderful person everyone thinks he is. Everything will remain as exactly as it is. EDWARD IS FINE, THIS IS FINE.
Another part of him panics. First, this girl is condemned to the worst future imaginable. Not only is she becoming a demon, but a blood drinking demon at Blood Drinking Demon HQ. More, if she becomes a vampire, no blood for Edward. And remember, this is a scent he would scour the world for. Edward salivates over the thought of her blood, obsesses over it constantly, and fantasizes over how he will devour her. Suddenly, Edward may not be able to eat her. In canon, the option of eating her is always on the table, and some part of Edward is always thinking about it, always leaving it open. Here, it’s soon to be gone.
Edward probably sneaks into her room at night to watch over her sleep. Telling himself he’s protecting her from meteors but also realizing that he’s there to test his own will power and ponder over the future in which he quietly eats her in the middle of the night. 
Now, this can go two ways
Bella wakes up, and that guy Demetri said is a sexual predator targeting her is IN HER BEDROOM LOOKING SCARY AS FUCK. Bella undoubtedly screams bloody murder and tries to hit Edward with something.
Edward panics at the noise and eats her. Then when Charlie comes running he eats Charlie Swan too. The house is an utter blood bath, Edward stands there in a daze knowing the monster inside him has won. He no longer looks anything like Carlisle Cullen (this is a thing Edward does).
Probably though, Demetri is there. Which means Edward has heard his thoughts from the beginning. While Edward has the overconfidence of Gilderoy Lockhart, and tells Bella things like the laws of physics not applying to his driving or that he could beat Jasper in a fight with both hands tied behind his back, usually when push comes to shove he knows where he stands. (He tries to fight Jane in Volterra, it doesn’t go well, and he acts very meek at being confronted by Jane, Felix, etc. When he fights Victoria, he doesn’t fight at all, but just blathers nonsense and it somehow works out for him.)
So, while Edward will tell Jasper later that he totally could have taken Demetri, he’s not going to try. 
So, instead, Demetri goes, “Hey buddy, looking for a midnight snack?” and Edward shuffles and petulantly asks, “Aren’t you looking for a midnight snack?!” Edward’s here to protect Bella, you see. Demetri just nods, of course, Edward’s here to protect Bella.
They stare at each other.
Neither leaves.
Eventually, Edward slinks away, feeling very disgusted with himself, angry and Demetri, and internally raging that he didn’t get to eat Bella.
Demetri calls Aro and notes that they’ve got to turn the girl. Demetri cannot watch her 24/7 and this boy is 100% going to eat her. Aro hops on a plane in record time, bringing Renata, and makes an awkward visit to both Carlisle and Bella.
Aro tells Bella the truth about Edward which is... a little different but also pretty scary, the truth about what’s going to happen to her and why it’s important, and anything else she wants to know.
I imagine Bella quietly and stoically accepts her fate. 
Edward doesn’t get to eat Bella Swan. He feels very conflicted about it and is filled with self-loathing that he’s conflicted about it. I imagine the Madonna complex he holds for Bella blossoms at this point, and he later comes to Italy with the intent to free her from the Volturi clutches.
This doesn’t work out. 
Knowing Edward, his attempts increase in desperation until, finally, he does something very illegal in an attempt to free her and make up for damning her to this life.
The Volturi are forced to execute Edward.
Carlisle gets yet another awkward, terrible, phone call from Aro.

I mean, I get that you just “want to remind people this is a headcanon” but what purpose does that actually serve? Analyzing Izzy as a character through the lens of someone who is in love with Edward is a valid and canonical reading supported by David Jenkins. It’s actually the first thing David goes to for “things to watch for on a rewatch” which is to look at Ed/Izzy’s relationship as a love story of its own. It’s something Con has confirmed as well as the actor, that Izzy obviously “fancies the pants” off of Ed, but is too emotionally stunted to know the words for that especially within a culture of how lax people are with hooking up all over. I assume we can take Con’s interpretation of his character as pretty close to canon, not just as an actor, but because David has also said that he would look towards Con’s audition to get back to the character.
Tumblr media
The idea of separating an actor’s acting choices from a canon interpretation feels so absurd to me because where does that even lead and how are we supposed to discern what choice is an actor’s, which part was written in the script, which part is decided by the director, and who has the most validity within this? For all we know, the script could’ve said “Izzy looks absolutely devastated but also super horny about this whole Blackbeard thing” and Con interpreted that into the facial expressions we see. The story is told through a visual medium. We’re not supposed to just rely off of hard dialogue clear enough that a homophobic 5 year old can understand that they’re gay. We’re supposed to be analyzing all parts of the show including the acting, composition, music, and parallels.
For that matter, we know for a fact that the sexual tension we see between Lucius and Izzy is canon as well since it was confirmed that the episode was going to potentially lead up to an almost kiss. That’s not imagined queerness between Izzy staring at Lucius’s lips that could be explained away by him having leftover crumbs from breakfast, it’s meant to signal desire.
If we’re supposed to be waiting until Izzy comes out and explicitly states “I am a homosexual” to be granted the privilege of analyzing him through a lens that understands him as queer, then that’s never going to happen for any of the characters. Gay as an identity didn’t exist back then in the same way it does now. Gayness was a descriptor of actions, not something people self identified as.
David talks about something similar in regards to Jim’s character. We never actually see Jim ask people to use they/them pronouns, we don’t see Jim explicitly state they they don’t identify as a boy or a girl, and we don’t have a coming out scene. We as an audience, however, know that Jim is nonbinary because we can pick up on the meaning behind things like them expressing uncertainty to the crew about whether they’re still Jim or not, the changing between names with nana, and the fact that it’s confirmed outside of the show as “yeah, they actually are nonbinary.” That’s not language we ever get in the show though.
Tumblr media
OFMD doesn’t spell every aspect of its engagement with queerness out for the audience. David Jenkins is also disinterested in stories centered on coming out and focusing on these things. Like a lot of aspects of the show, we’re expected to dig into the meat of it to have a deeper understanding of what’s going on.
Like? It’s wild to me to insist that Fang is canonly queer but you can’t say that Izzy is. Fang can just as easily be interpreted as being a big softie who cares for Lucius, and is flattered when Lucius compliments his figure. There’s no moment on screen where Fang ever says he’s gay or where he kisses a man. There’s arguably far less canon evidence pointing to Fang’s queerness than there is Izzy, who fawns after his boss and stares at twinks’ lips. I mean, for that matter, even just saying that a guy being willing to fuck a male prostitute makes him queer is arguably a stretch as well since sexuality was a wee bit more fluid back then. It’s wild to me that there can be people saying that Izzy can have a crush on Ed but not be gay, but a guy trying to pick up a prostitute as part of a gag is canon queer representation.
I don’t even understand the point on trying to separate subtext from text within the show and the arbitrary markings for what counts as canon. I also don’t understand the point in saying “Izzy’s character doesn’t make sense as straight, Izzy’s acted in a queer manner, and the creator confirmed Izzy as queer BUT reminder that Izzy isn’t canonly queer in the show!” Like it’s the same weird rhetoric used by people to deny queerness in shows. For all that you might as well argue “Korrasami’s only canon in the comics but not the show!” or “Cas went to super fruit hell and said he loves that other guy (I don’t watch this show) but that doesn’t mean you can say he’s queer!”
Why would we ever take a position of understanding queerness in a show where queerness needs to be proven without any argument before people can analyze a chara through a queer lens? I mean, David has already aligned piracy with queerness so reasonably we should actually be assuming that people are not straight until proven otherwise.
Tumblr media
ANYWAYS I think it’s incredibly disingenuous to claim that it’s okay for people to think Izzy’s gay as long as they prioritize his more important traits, as if “Izzy’s relationship to Edward” isn’t the most important part of his character. It’s also incredibly silly to me to write off him being canonly queer on screen and through word of god as not truly proven, when things like interpreting Izzy as a homophobe are also based off of pure vibes and relies exclusively on the subtext of guessing what Izzy actually means by disliking Stede and whether him calling him a namby-pamby (not a slur) in a robe indicates that he hates femininity and therefore hates queers.
Comparing it to interpreting Ed as having ADHD is also super silly since ADHD is like ya know a disorder that holds cross over symptoms towards many other things and is culturally defined and can’t be diagnosed through a TV screen unlike “liking boys disease” which is a lot easier to spot especially when the creator already has given credence to that. Even then, saying that people should focus on more important things like poverty and race is an awful comparison to make where these three things come together in specific ways. Intersectionality discusses the ways that multiple forms of marginalization meets up to create unique experiences of oppression. Even if going off that as an example, it makes no sense to then be like “REMEMBER ED’S ADHD ISN’T CANON!” instead of “remember that ADHD functions differently when in conjunction with race and class.” It also, again, feels like an odd thing to draw a comparison to where it comes off more like virtue signaling to remind people that race and class exists on a completely separate subject from “what canon traits could Izzy have that are possibly so important that we have to erase his queerness to be able to examine them.”
Also, “there’s a lot more to him than being gay” just sounds like shit someone’s white mom would say while shaking her head at a Lil Nas X performance lmao
And when it comes to “there’s other gay characters to focus on!” that’s just??? I don’t get the point of these arguments. We are like 9 months out from this show airing. There are a LOT of things to focus on and a LOT of time to do so. Analyzing the relationships and motives of one of the primary antagonistic forces is a pretty major thing that people might want to look at. Especially since it’s homework David Jenkins assigned the class anyways where he specifically stated that this is something to pay attention to on a rewatch and that their relationship is important. I don’t get why we have to keep ascribing character choices of Izzy to the same logic behind queerbaited characters when this is a show that is explicitly not queerbait. David Jenkins didn’t even understand what queerbaiting was really until after seeing the fandom’s reactions. What possible end goal could there be of having “”plausible deniability”” of a character’s queerness, a queerness that is confirmed by word of god, that makes more sense as a writing choice than “Ed/Izzy is a complicated relationship, and it’s written in a manner where we will see it unfold in subtle nuanced ways, a choice made since Taika and Con are pros at using this type of acting” ? Why would we default to some conspiracy theory of “maybe David’s just fucking with us” ?
Like this whole conversation is just silly and I’m sorry I made fun of your post you poorly worded I guess (but tbf, if you’re gonna tag it with Izzy in four different manners, it kinda feels free game to take at its word) but like let’s be honest with ourselves here and how much goodwill is actually intended with pointing out to Izzy stans that he’s not canonly gay, using a standard that would never be applied to another character in the show, and mimicking the same rhetoric homophobes use to discredit gay representation and mark things like the first 8 episodes of OFMD a bromance. Wanting fans to adhere to a strict textual reading of the show that ignores everything beyond spoken dialogue and on screen depictions of physical intimacy serves no function to a better understanding of the plot. Disregarding the creator’s multiple comments about their relationship being a love story doesn’t add nuance to any analysis.
Saying that there’s other queer characters to focus on doesn’t mean anything either because so what? What’s being accomplished here by lecturing people about how they’re stanning the wrong gay character? Why assume that because people analyze Izzy’s relationship to Ed as a queer one that it means they’re incapable of recognizing other gay characters, as if queerness is a precious resource that must be handled in moderation? And if that’s the case then what’s the point in spending so much time bickering and criticizing Izzy when there’s gay characters you could be writing meta for instead?
Literally just say you think Izzy’s too well liked and go. There’s no need to wrap it up in justifications for why this is the correct and woke way to engage with the character. You don’t have to do some paternalistic scolding as if you’re gently correcting children who had gone astray and lost the plot. It’s annoying and people are going to respond poorly to be lectured in four different renditions of Izzy’s tags about how they’re consuming media wrong based off of arbitrary rules that are constantly shifting. Where suddenly everybody in fandom has to remember that word of god doesn’t really mean anything and it’s important to not take actors’ acting as canon and even though this character is scripted in a way to be queer, if you squint and apply a lens that assumes the show is written by Moffat snorting pure queerbait, then it can kinda look like Izzy could be straight (even though, admittedly, that makes no sense to his character)
post screencap:
Tumblr media
/end post screencap
i love things like this because it just comes off as excessively homophobic like youre a supernatural actor trying to beat the gay accusations or some shit. like yeah sure izzy in the show is heavily implied to be in love with ed, and yeah sure david jenkins has said that blackhands is a love story, and yeah sure con has confirmed that izzys feelings towards ed are complicated and that hes unaware that hes in love with him, and yeah sure taika has said multiple times that all the characters in the show are queer BUT GUYS lets not get carried away with your transmasc headcanons! we cant know for SURE that izzys gay dont be silly!

MAIN    FC  :  victor han  ALT    FC  :  n/a. OLDER    FC  :  he can’t age past 22, so he doesn’t need one. YOUNGER    FC  :  none  yet. VOICE    CLAIM  :  both speaking and singing (his accent is posh British with a slight hint of Canadian) MUN  QUESTIONS. Q1  :    If you could write your character your way in their own movie , what    would  it  be  called ,  what  style would it be filmed in, and what would it be about ?    A1 :  The same answer as Aurora, The Tale of Solis et Lunae that stars him alongside Aurora, Lunae, Jack, and Tate, plus more. A cosmic adventure / fantasy / coming of age / superhero / the reluctant hero / the chosen one.  His role is of Aurora’s best friend and her greatest support in emotional and supernatural dangers. He is the time traveler who ascends time and space, so he often also gives her insight and information like the sage. It’ll  expand across dimensions, worlds, and different states of existence. The scenes would be cinematic with a strong soundtrack. I imagine him to have some scenes like Quick Silver in the X-Men movies.       Q2  :   What would their soundtrack / score sound like  ?     A2  :   He would have a 90s grunge or spacey dream rock sound. It ties in with the end of the last answer because i see him in one of those scenes with 90s grunge or maybe classical music ?    Q3  :      Why did you start writing this character  ? A3  :    I made Augustus just a bit before Aurora. They were a two part deal. I don’t know when it began, I just had this image of a tall, long haired boy with piercing, intelligent eyes who’s a smart-ass and likes being a know-it-all nuisance. This character has been the same since he began in 2019 and refused to change. He was always a drummer, he always had the same fashion sense, the look, Gus was always half-Korean, he always had long fingers he wore rings on, and he was always Aurora’s best friend/partner in crime. He remains unchanged and that's why I wanted to write him. This very vivid image of this boy was something I had to pen down. And just my luck, I found a fc who looks exactly how Gus looked in my head.   Q4  :    What  first  attracted  you  to  this  character  ? A4  :   Augustus is just extraordinary. It’s something I always felt about him and Aurora and I don’t see any of my other characters coming anywhere close to them regardless of how much I spent time on them. But with Augustus, his entire image and looks and personality — down to his wardrobe and jewelry was always so vivid in my head. Like I knew this very chaotically handsome boy who was going to turn the world upside down.  His story is interesting, but what interests me more is his perspective on his story. The way he looks at his life and how he is quiet and doesn’t show his pain. How confused he always is. How much he aches but never seems so. The way he loves but doesn’t say even a quarter of the intensity he feels. And how sometimes he believes he deserves suffering because it makes sense to him. I also love the connections he makes and the way he loves so deeply and profoundly but underneath the surface. His connection, love, fears, and hopes with Aurora and Jack for their respective reasons are extremely beautiful.   Q5  :      Describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse.  ? A5  :  Augustus is unknowingly self-sabotaging. He let go the only relationship / love in his life that made him feel like real love just because he thought he didn’t deserve it. And because when he was provoked, it made “sense” to him. He bottles his emotions and pain so much despite their intensity. He never shows how much he really cares and really hurts. And how sure he is that he’ll end up alone without friends and that it makes sense to him. Q6  :      What    do    you    have    in    common    with    your    muse  ?   A6  :    Here’s a fun answer, because I bottle my emotions like him. I also interact with the carefree way he does even if I don’t feel peachy. He’s smart and witty and really hot and I don’t even have that going on for me. So, yikes. Only of Gus’ bad things I share.  Q7  :      How  does your muse feel about you  ?   A7  :  Gus loves interacting with people so he’ll definitely show up to annoy me. Maybe, he might think I’m fun to annoy? Or maybe, we’ll have a similar sense of humor. I think he won’t dislike me. Not sure if he’ll like me. I think he’d think I’m funny in a strange sort of way.  Q8  :      What    characters    does    your    muse    have    interesting    interactions  with  ? A8  :    Aurora, first of all. They have this same brain wave-length thing going on where they’re partners in crime and bffs forever more. He knows how she is feeling and what she’s thinking even before she utters it. If she is about to sneeze, he’d get a tissue ready. He can tell if she is hungry or sleepy with one glance. She can do the same, so they sorta have this weird understanding of each other.  Jack is this older brother figure Augustus loves. He won’t admit it, but he kinda wants to make Jack proud of him. He also wants to provide love and care to Jack that he thinks he deserves but never got. They’re his family now and he’ll never be alone or sad again. He annoys Jack a lot but behind it all, he just wants Jack to think he is needed and he belongs. That if he thinks Augustus is reliant on him, then he has this family he has to protect and care for. He can’t stand the thought of Jack feeling unloved, forgotten, alone.  Tida is another one. There’s this great respect and adoration Gus has for him. Almost like he looks up to him in some ways  He also has a lot of hopes and expectations attached. He feels Tida is everything that Gus himself lacks. He is the ideal boyfriend, kindest person, shows his emotions vividly, and is like a warm and cozy blanket personified. He is probably Tida and Aurora’s biggest supporter and first one to know. He can’t be happier than he is that Aurora found someone as good and perfect as Tida.   Taewon is one really fun character. Their two-way frenemy jealousy spans over years and started in Cambridge when they were both in love with the same girl they claimed to be best friends with. Though, trying to be calm, Augustus was constantly provoked and hurt, made to feel inferior and constantly in fear of his relationship being broken by Taewon’s schemes that he couldn’t say out loud. This dark period ended with a fist fight and baggage of guilt they both carry to this day for hurting each other and the one they claimed to love. Today, they’re way past that and frenemies who have funny quips and arguments for each other. They say they dislike each other. But if the lighting is good, one would be the photographer of the other. Q9  :      What    gives    you    inspiration    to    write    your    muse  ? A9  :  Music  helps  me  imagine  scenes  with  perfect  visual  details.  Any  scenes  from  shows  that  remind  me  of  my  storylines. Q10  :      How    long    did    this    take    you    to    complete  ?   A10  :  I don’t remember. It was many days and I didn’t count because it was in bits and pieces.

tonight i went on my evening walk with my mom and ran into a student and her family. she lives on the street behind mine. it was a pleasant chat but as we went our seperate ways, i made the comment about how strange it was and how can u imagine if id been wearing some shirt with a curse word or something
and it made me think. about the teacher persona and how the line btwn teacher and private life are often blurred together. what would a reaction be if it was Something Even Bigger - what if i was kissing a SO of the same gender - what if i was wearing such and such clothing - doing this - at this place - existing in a context that is other than teacher?
the incidents mentioned are real. stories that have been on the news. teachers whove posted bits of their real lives that then lost jobs, despite never doing anything wrong on the job.
the colleague bit is also true. it happened at the school i work at a few yrs ago. 
anyways.
thoughts and such
Take a Walk on the Wild Side
 It’s a perfect night out for a walk and so, after dinner, they put their shoes back on and head out, taking advantage of it being Friday night and not too brain dead. There’s a gentle breeze announcing the upcoming end of summer and the first soft tendrils of autumn and it’s nice – a good break from the oppressive heat of a few weeks ago.
 Étienne, as always, links their arms together and chatters away as they walk. Edward is happy to listen and offers insight when needed.
 They’re halfway through their walk when they hear a loud “M Édouard?!” and Étienne let’s go of Edward’s arm on instinct.
 A few steps later, it turns out that the voice belongs to one of Edward’s students and she’s out walking with her parents, the family dog and her sister.
 The girl is excited to see her teacher not at school and then nearly does a double take when she realises that M Étienne is also out walking with M Édouard.
 There’s polite chitchat that goes around – general comments from the kids, pleasantries from the parents and all the while, both Étienne and Edward put on pleasant smiles while one recurring thought runs through their head. Are they still safe?
 They hadn’t been doing anything untoward, but even if the girls hadn’t noticed anything, surely the parents must have seen that they’d been walking together with their arms linked.
 Étienne hates that he’s bothered by it, while Edward wonders if this is going to turn into a thing.
 “Do you live nearby?” The mother asks and the question is open enough that they can save face if they want to.
 But do they?
 There’s nothing criminal to what they’d been doing. An evening walk just like this family. They had lives outside of work and what they did after school shouldn’t matter to anyone. Yet, for some reason, Étienne and Edward both feel as though they’d been caught red handed committing some heinous crime and the feeling is nauseating.
 “Other side of the bridge, that ways about,” Edward motions with his hand and his student exclaims that her house is that way as well, because of course it would.
 As it turns out, they live on the street right behind them and Étienne marvels at how they’ve never run into each other before.
 The sister asks where he lives and Étienne laughs, thankful for the innocence of children. Because, obviously, two men walking together at night would not be living together.
 He’s relieved.
 He’s also a little saddened.
 Disappointed, really.
 Étienne gives as vague as an answer as possible and satisfied, the girls chatter excitedly amongst themselves, while the adults wrap up the conversation and then leave, wishing each other a lovely weekend.
 Once they resume their walk, Étienne can’t find it in him to link their arms together and Edward takes an extra step to the side. They walk, silent, lost in their own thoughts, and it’s only once they’ve crossed on the other side of the overpass that they glance in each other’s direction.
 They share a look that seems to ask if any of what had happened was real, and finally, Étienne cracks first, a desperate chuckle escaping. Edward joins soon after, a full on nervous laugh and soon, both of them are wheezing at the absurdity of the situation.
 It is both a coping mechanism and unwinding, but when they finally catch their breath again and resume their walk, it feels less loaded. Edward steps back close and Étienne lets their hands brush together, until he wraps a finger around Edward’s own.
 “Perhaps we should move. Change names. Jobs. Leave the country.” Étienne offers, only a little serious.
 “I’m honestly surprised it took this long for us to run into a student.”
 They look at each other again and fall silent, contemplating the situation.
 “Do you think the parents know? Or the girls? – Do you think this will get out?” Étienne voices the questions that had been burning both their minds and the fears that come with it. It’s one thing mentioning in the school agenda that discrimination won’t be tolerate against religion, skin colour and sexual orientation, but it’s another to put it in practice towards staff. There’s a million and one different ways to make it look like they’re being canned for something different, if the school wants to.
 “I don’t know. I honestly don’t know and I don’t know what would be worse. God – and we weren’t even doing anything bad.”
 That’s the problem with teaching. There is no such thing as a “private life.” They’ve heard the stories. One “bad” photo on social media and a career finished. One bad day that leads to dismissal. They’re lucky they have elementary students, but still.
 Edward remembers the horror fiasco that had happened a few years ago to a colleague of his. An innocent video that had been cut and changed look as though his colleague was saying hate messages. It had blown out of proportion. Parents had been frightened. The police was called. Interventions were made. The man left the school, on his own terms, deciding it would be best for him and the school. Even though he was innocent. Even though his words had been taken out of context. Even though he’d done nothing wrong.
 Would this happen to them?
 It’s a sobering thought.
 Yet, Edward isn’t ashamed of who he is. Neither is Étienne. They are proud of who they are. They believe people should be allowed to be themselves.
 Then why is it that they feel such fear?
 “I guess we won’t know until Monday,” Étienne says, trying to be reassuring, “We’ll play it by ear and hope for the best. As you said, we weren’t doing anything wrong.”
 “Yeah – you’re right...” He falls quiet for another moment and then lets out a frustrated puff of air, followed by a short laugh, “At least we weren’t in a strip club,” He says, trying to be light.
 “What?”
 “When I was doing my internship. One of the teacher’s at the school, he told us of this anecdote. He’d gone to a friend’s stag party at a strip club. And one of the stripers was a student of his – I forget if she was a current or former student. He was mortified, but she recognised him and went right over, calling out to him as if there was nothing wrong. I mean – there’s nothing wrong with working in a club, but the relationship dynamic makes it a little awkward. Or – I would feel awkward. I wish I had her level of confidence though – not be afraid that a student seeing us together might cause a minor scandal and our jobs,” He adds as an afterthought.
 Étienne reaches for his hand again, gives it a squeeze and then links their arms together. Edward sags against him and is happy when they turn on their street, close to home, where it’s safe.
 “We’ll be fine – whatever happens, we’ll be fine.”
 Edward wants to believe him and hopes Étienne will be right.
 --
 It’s a different evening, days and weeks and months and maybe even years later. Different yet similar. Another late September evening with a gentle breeze and the promise of autumn to come. It’s night time by the time they go out for their evening walk and it’s a little chilly – a perfect excuse for Étienne to link their arm with Edward, as they’re often known to do.
 They chatter away, about one thing and the next, and Edward is happy to listen and provide feedback when needed.
 They’re halfway through the walk, when they hear a shout of “M Édouard?!” and approach the voice, Étienne never letting go of Edward’s arm.
 It’s a student from Edward’s class, who is surprised to find his teacher out for a walk and not in a school setting. He’s with his own family; parents, an older sibling and the family dog. The kid does a near double take when he notices Étienne and can’t seem to wrap his head around the fact that he’s run into two of his teachers outside of school, even if he thinks it’s cool.
 The adults exchange polite conversation and eventually the older sibling asks if they live close by. This time, Edward does not shy away from his answer and says that yes, they both have their place not far from here, on the other side of the overpass.
 Both student and sibling seem amazed, remarking on how they live literally a block away from there. Étienne laughs, commenting on the smallness of the world, and telling them to come by their street at Halloween, to get candy – at the house with the haunted garage.
 The kids’ faces light up, eager and excited, and the older sibling knows where the house is – having gone a few years back and how cool it had been. Amused, the adults wrap up their conversation, and after wishing each other a pleasant weekend, both groups head their own way.

do you have any favorite books?
Coraline by Neil Gaiman is the obvious answer lol. Still my favourite book to this day, obviously hugely influential in my own bullshit. Seriously check it out if you can find a copy, it’s pretty short and absolutely worth your time.
The Devil’s Storybook by Natalie Babbitt and its sequel (The Devil’s Other Storybook) are more of an anthology of short stories starring the Devil, who occupies every role from vague background presence to put-upon protagonist that are funny and thought-provoking and genuinely clever and that pissed enough people off that it was a banned book for a while. “The Imp in the Basket” is the kind of short story I wish more people knew about and wanted to sincerely discuss what actually happened at the end.
ugh i haven’t read a book i actually enjoyed in over ten years at this point uhhhhhh
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. I think potentially the only classic I had to read in school that I genuinely liked and actually finished in one sitting on my own time. And I think the first time any themes a book had for me actually clicked and I was able to do any kind of meta analysis of it completely unprompted. Baby’s first literary comprehension. Slaughterhouse-Five is a semi-autobiographical piece set during the bombing of Dresden in WWII, and also some period in the “future” (the 80s lol), and ALSO on an alien planet as the protagonist is abducted and taken to a human zoo. The story is told achronologically, and I feel is hugely influential to my own shit where it skips around, building a narrative almost entirely by juxtaposing specific moments in time against one another. It's surreal and thought-provoking, and if you only ever make yourself read one classic, it should be this one. *
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien. Bear in mind this thing has fuck-all to do with the movie, and while in retrospect I now am able to enjoy the Don Bluth movie as its own thing, I remember being fucking furious when they busted out a goddamn magical amulet. It’s a different kind of story, but is more magic realism than outright fantasy, and the titular rats get a lot more backstory, as does the late Mr. Frisby iirc.
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. God that book fucked me up. It is about a snotty porcelain toy rabbit that gets dropped overboard a ship into the ocean one day, and the various owners he has over the years as he changes hands, and the impacts they have on him, and it makes me fucking cry every time and is to date the only book to ever do so so fairly warned be ye. Fucking shit I wish I could dish out gut-punches half as good as that book could.
The His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman, which in and of itself is an angry rebuttal against everything the Chronicles of Narnia has to say, as well as Christianity in general. You’ve probably seen shit floating around about the HBO series, which I have not watched. Lyra is a horrible gremlin child running wild around a parallel universe Oxford until she accidentally stumbles onto a conspiracy that goes all the way to the Church which unofficially runs the government and eventually starts an interdimensional war against God. The first two books I think are better than the last one, which really drags in spots (and in a twist of irony had Lyra’s sexual awakening censored from the North American release which like... come on man). Absolutely worth checking out though, especially if you’re an angry pedant like I am.
Tales from the House of Bunnicula, by James Howe. Honestly the entire "Bunnicula Expanded Universe"(???) is great, but in particular I'm mentioning this sub-series because I think it actually kind of taught me to write. The framing device used is that they're being written by Howe's pet dog and sent in to him to publish by proxy. On top of having just a lot of good storytelling tips for beginners (how to create a plot! how to create character motivations! how to write female characters like actual people!), they're also fun little satire pieces of various kinds of genre fiction. Like, the third book is a riff on Harry Potter and making fun of all of JKR's worst writing tendencies, like her compulsion to phonetically write out everyone's fucking accent.
these days i'm just too picky to enjoy books anymore idfk. you have no idea how fucking disheartening it was growing up with actual taste (snooty snooty snoot) and watching everyone go nuts over stuff like divergent and eragon and maximum ride and fuckmothering twilight and shit. like, yeah misogyny absolutely played into why people shat on it because teenage girls aren't allowed to like anything, but lest we forget they were still shitty books guys. that never stopped being true or anything. and you were a social pariah if you didn't like them and that sucked. and then a couple ostensibly good series, like harry potter and artemis fowl and hunger games just dropped the fucking ball for one reason or another as they went on and never picked it back up. i think the mid 2000s almost singlehandedly just killed any real enthusiasm i had for reading altogether (this is not even getting into the fact a lot of really fucking bad "grown-up" novels came out around that period too. whole era was a baaaad time for books). so here i am writing, i guess, because i've decided you fuckers can't be trusted to make anything good yourselves. if you want something done right...
(*I like to think if Cloud wrote a book he’d write something like Slaughterhouse-Five. I think at one point I was even working on a fic along those lines -- a fictional story vaguely based off the burning of Nibelheim and the fall of Shinra that was written, in-universe, by Cloud several years later. Abandoned it just because of how fucking complicated it would be to do. Might come back to it one day.)

Around 2000 Words. 18+ in places (those chapters will be marked as 'Mature / sexual content' just to be safe). Please inform me if you wish to be tagged or untagged from posts. If the text is in italics and orange it's Kirby's inner monologue. If the text is coloured but not in italics, it's either dialogue or a P.O.V change (P.O.V changes will be in bold and translated dialogue will appear in square [ ] brackets), Key below. Quick note on Geia's text colour: Yes I do know that as Greed she should be in yellow but I decided to colour the men's dialogue yellow so Geia was changed to be pink like the other women in the story outside of the main 8.
The Main 8: Damo - Bio. Vi - Bio. Billie - Bio. Geia - Bio. Kirby - Bio. Honey - Bio. Eli - Bio. Sara - Bio.
Tumblr media
Gluttony's P.O.V:
When Kirby 'comes around' she's in a hospital bed, Eddie whispering a prayer by her side, holding her right hand tight, and her parents rushing into the room.
"Eddie... Edward... why are my parents here?" She asks, her voice weak, but just loud enough to hear.
"Kirby? Sweetheart, you're awake?!" Eddie beams, leaning over the hospital bed to kiss her deeply, then realising that she wasn't kidding when she asked the question.
Her father clears his throat, before walking up to his daughter's opposite side, followed by Kirby's mother, who scoots past her husband to check on her only baby.
"Helo [Hi] Mam." Kirby whispers, smiling softly, when her mother kisses her on the head.
Eddie seems to back off slightly, letting Kirby's mother hug her close.
"O fy maban bach tlawd, wyt ti'n iawn fy nhywysoges? Fe gawson ni'r awyrwen gyntaf allan, methu â mentro peidio â gweld ein merch fach pan mae hi wedi brifo. [Oh my poor little baby, are you alright my princess? We got the first flight out, couldn't risk not seeing our baby girl when she's hurt.]" Kirby's mother whispers.
"Byddaf yn iawn, mae'n debyg mai dim ond anaemia neu rywbeth sy'n dod yn ôl o fy arddegau. Dw i'n dy garu di hefyd, mam. [I'll be okay, it's probably just anaemia or something coming back from my teenage years. I love you too, mum.]" Kirby replies weakly, looking over at her parents and then at Eddie.
Eddie turns his cap backwards and smoothes his tank-top out, hiding his rosaries between his two tank-tops, clearly trying to present the best version of himself in his mind.
"Eddie, my parents. Mam and Da, this is Eddie, the guy I lost to and the man I am in love with."
"You better be nice to my little girl, or else I'll-" Kirby's dad growls protectively.
"Hywel Críostóir Taran Donndubán Rhydderch, you apologise to that young man right now." Kirby's mother orders.
"Oda, I'm just-" Hywel attempts to argue his case, before looking at the anger in his tiny, Scottish fireball, wife, "I'm sorry, Eddie. Obviously, I need to trust my little princesses' choices more."
"It's fine, I get it, ya daughter starts datin' a guy, you don't know him, ya get worried because what if she's in a bad situation. My brother went through it with his wife. Her folks thought that this kid, from New York, was a little too 'street' for their angel, ended up telling him to be extra careful."
"Yeah, but you, my handsome warrior, Kingy, are Irish-American on your father's side, hence those beautiful green eyes of yours." Kirby mumbles, stroking Eddie's arm as she talks.
Hywel's eyes light up, "An Irish boy, I really should trust my daughter more... Also, 'Kingy', princess, are you forgetting that we are already considered royalty by our surname? After all, 'Rhydderch' means 'Exalted King'." He states proudly.
"So, you're Half-Irish?" Oda asks gently, "What about the other half?"
"Puerto Rican, though my mother still raised me Catholic. Kirby knows all about my Catholic guilt, and how bad I wanna beat Damien's head in." Eddie grunts, clearing his throat and standing up, getting pulled into a 'manly' hug by Hywel.
Kirby's parents soon leave her and Eddie alone together, Eddie still slightly shaken by the hug from Kirby's dad. Kirby distracts him from his thoughts, pulling him into a kiss by the front of his tank-top.
"You just said the one thing my Da's been waiting to hear someone, anyone actually, say since Damien got involved in my career." She whispers, her eyes locking with his.
"Your father's fuckin' scary for a guy shorter than me." Eddie murmurs, holding Kirby close.
"You smell like cigarettes, it's strangely calming to me."
"I've been here all night, Moxie had to drag me away so I would eat somethin'."
Eddie kisses Kirby's forehead, holding her close and breathing deeply. Kirby grips onto Eddie's shoulders when the lights shut off in the room, the emergency power sustaining the machines in the room and deep red 'emergency' lights.
"The fuck is goin' on? Was there a power outage or somethin'?" Eddie grumbles, about to go and see what's going on, Kirby tightens her grip on his shoulders, "You scared of the dark, babe?"
"Please don't tell anyone, but yes, I'm terrified of the dark." She whispers, her voice trembling.
Eddie raises an eyebrow, holding Kirby tighter, kissing her forehead and neck to keep her calm. Kirby moves her hands to Eddie's face, cupping his head in her hands. He climbs into the hospital bed next to her, holding her close as they fall asleep. When they wake up, entangled in each other's embrace, Eddie kisses Kirby lazily, breathing a sigh of relief when she opens her eyes.
"What's the time, Kingy?" Kirby murmurs, still half-asleep.
Eddie checks his phone, "It's eight in the mornin', babe-alicious."
"The feck did you just call me?"
"Babe-alicious." He shrugs, kissing her before getting up.
It takes around an hour for Kirby to be released, with a new prescription, her parents joining her and Eddie as they head to the drug store. Eddie never once lets go of her right hand, clinging to it like a lifeline. Kirby gets her iron supplements and Xanax, picking up enough to last her a month. Her father then drives them to a café, they get a small table in a quieter area, making sure Eddie sits next to him.
"So, you plan on kicking Damien's ass?" Hywel asks Eddie, keeping an eye on Kirby.
"Yea, I plan on makin' him pay, for all the shit he put my lady through. I will pound him into Hell, where he says he's from, so it'll be a warm welcome home. I am gonna show him how much pain he put Kirby through, and more, much fuckin' more."
Hywel nods in agreement, holding his hand out to Eddie, "Well, I feel secure in this," He looks over at Oda, she nods in agreement, Kirby raises an eyebrow in confusion, "Welcome to the family, son."
Eddie accepts the handshake, "You mean that... sir?"
"Absolutely, but I will still destroy you if you break her heart, after all she's still my little princess." Hywel growls in Eddie's ear.
Eddie looks nervously over at Kirby, he's already backed into the corner of the building, a look of fear in his eyes.
"Da, stop threatening my boyfriend, this is why no one dated me before. They met you and it was, 'I'll destroy you, you hurt her, I'll hurt you, I know every weak spot, I own an axe, I can chop you up'." Kirby murmurs, doing a rather spot-on of her father.
"Hywel, stop it. Do you ever want grandchildren? Because this is not how you get grandchildren." Oda grumbles, smacking his arm.
"I think that could be arranged," Eddie smirks, "you keep me alive, I give you and Oda grandchildren."
"Eddie, no." Kirby whines, not quite ready for children.
"Deal." Hywel grins
"Dad!" Kirby squeaks in shock.
"Hywel!" Oda groans, shaking her head, at her husband's habit of talking without thinking.
"But ya gotta keep me alive, I ain't being a deadbeat dad, or a dead dad." Eddie explains, smiling when Kirby's father nods in agreement.
Kirby stares at Eddie, a look of total confusion on her face. It takes her a while to even close her mouth, let alone recognise that Ethan, Eli and Moxley have come to check up on the couple. Her parents leave them to order and get their meal.
"Everything okay Kirby?" Eli asks, gently checking on her tall friend.
"I'm fine, this motherfucker though, ain't getting any sex, for a year, if he says anything else to my Da." She grumbles.
"What did you do, Eddie?" Mox chuckles, sitting next to him as Ethen tries his hardest not to laugh.
"I made a deal. Her dad keeps me alive, I give him grandchildren. He could've said no. It's her father's fault she's mad. All I gotta do is try to get her pregnant, He's gotta make sure Damien doesn't kill me."
"You did what?" Ethan giggles, "You made a deal? That's not a deal, Eddie."
"Technically it is a deal, If Eddie were to just say 'we're trying for a baby' every time we fuck, my Da would have no choice, but to keep up his end of the deal, providing Eddie with the protection of my entire family." Kirby explains.
Eddie's eyes go wide, "Ya entire family, that's a fuck ton of people, all I gotta do is say that... and I get, like a hundred or more, trained wrestlers as protection? Kirby, baby, sweetheart... I know what I said was dumb, but that's crazy."
"But it's true, except for maybe my uncles, they would have to meet you... all of them would have to meet you, then they'd decide. Either you charm my whole family, and get a literal wrestling family as protection, or you fail at that and get your ass kicked."
"You only have, what, seven uncles?" Eddie shrugs.
"No, Eddie, my entire family... ugh, just forget it, I'm gonna grab my coffee from my Da before he drinks it." Kirby huffs, getting up as Eddie does the same.
Eddie pulls her into a heated kiss, stopping her from leaving his sight, he traps her in his arms and refuses to let go.
"Eddie, my Da will actually drink my coffee, Edward, you gotta let me move."
"I'm not lettin' you outta my sight, I thought I lost ya yesterday." He whispers in her ear.
"Then come with me, you oaf." She groans, still grumpy with him.
"The fuck does that mean?" He raises an eyebrow.
"It means you're being a jackass, you know, like making a deal to get me pregnant... We aren't even married, and I've never met your parents... and you're Catholic, which makes that deal sinful."
"Shit," Eddie murmurs, "ya right, I really should have thought about it. A'ight, I'll see if my parents can get down here before your folks leave. I'm sure they'll love ya, but I gotta make sure ya dad won't kill mine. Can I still kiss ya, babygirl?"
Kirby kisses Eddie softly before leaving to get her coffee, returning and sitting on Eddie's lap. He pushes Ethan's phone away as Kirby's parents come back, making 'All Ego' move to stand behind Eli as he films.
"Hywel, Oda, this is Ethan Page, Eli Lucifarian and, my best friend, Jon Moxley," Eddie introduces Kirby's parents to the trio.
"Lucifarian, as in you represent a sin. Envy, I'm guessing." Oda says, shaking hands with Eli.
"Your best friend? So I can tell you to stop my future son-in-law hiding his rosaries. I was raised an Irish Catholic too." Hywel chuckles, shaking hands with Moxley and Ethan.
"Are we still on for the gaming stream later, Me, you and Geia?" Eli asks Kirby.
"Yeah, I'll text you when I'm outside your hotel room. Two hours, right, six 'till eight?"
"Wait, you didn't tell me 'bout that, and should ya really be doin' that after yesterday?"
"I'll be fine, Eddie, don't worry."
"Kirby, you fuckin' fainted. I ain't lettin' you outta my sight, for anythin', especially not for two hours."
"Then come with me, Eddie. I'm sure the fans will love seeing big, strong, Eddie Kingston, taking care of his girlfriend." Kirby teases, kissing his temple.
"That's fine with me, I'll see you two later." Eli smiles softly, leaving the group and heading off.
Eventually Eddie and Kirby leave, Her parents get a room next to the couple. Eddie calls his parents, and keeps Kirby in his grasp for the majority of the day.
"Ma says she'll grab dad and fly out tomorrow, how long are ya parents stayin'?"
"According to my Da, they'll be here for a month. Judging from the look Mam gave him, they'll be here at least two."
"You wanna get started on my end of the deal now, or?" He smirks, winks and raises an eyebrow.
Kirby glares at Eddie, hitting him in the arm and changing her clothes (finally) into something fresh.

Chess. Chapter 7
Tumblr media
Y/N never hurt anyone who didn’t deserve it. She only took what she needed, or what she felt others needed. She’d stayed out of sight for a long time, avoiding anything that could get her in to too much trouble. But for some reason Rick Flag shows up in her life, and in an instant, everything changes.
TW: Language, sexual themes, injuries. Rated M for sMut. You knew we’d get here at some point.
(This story is obviously non-canon, i.e. Diablo and GQ, but I hope you’ll enjoy it either way. Let me know if you want to be added to the tag list.)
---
I felt the blast before I heard it. It pushed me into the air, hot and forcefully.
The sound made my ears pop as I flew.
This is it. I’m dying in a second.
I hit the ground. Blackness.
An eternity went by.
“She’s under that car!”.
“Get a crowbar or something!”.
Metallic screeches. The air smelled like smoke; and I coughed.
“Chess? Kid? Are you in there?”.
“Mami, say something!”.
“I’m here”, I croaked. I tried to crawl towards the voices, but my foot wouldn’t move.
It was dark around me. Feeling my way with my hands, I felt something like a handle, recognizing it as belonging to a car door.
“Y/N”, I head Flag yell.
I pushed at the door, making a crack to let in some light.
“Croc!”, Flag yelled, and the door was ripped away from over me. I looked up at the squads worried faces. Flag grabbed my arms, trying to get me up.
“I’m stuck”, I wimpered.
Croc, Floyd and Diablo put their backs against the car that pinned my ankle down. Digger and Flag each took one of my arms.
In the background I saw Harley yelling at the soldiers to help.
“1... 2… 3!”, Floyd counted, and the three men pushed at the car, lifting it slightly, allowing the other two to pull me free.
I scrambled forward, ending up in Flags arms.
“Chopper inbound”, Edwards called, and Flag picked me up, carrying me in the direction of rotor sounds.
“Beta Team are clearing out any stragglers. We’re good to liftoff”, Edwards said, as we moved to the chopper.
Setting me down in one of the seats, strapping me in; Flag pulled out a bowie knife, and started cutting open the bottom of my pantleg, and then took of my boot.
“Don’t joke about me ripping your clothes off”, he grumbled; as I tried to hide a smile.
Determining that my ankle was most likely not broken, Flag went to his own seat, and strapped in for the ride back to Belle Reve.
---
Celebrating a job semi well done, we were granted a case of beer; outdated a few months earlier.
I’d had the chance to wash up, and put on my prisoner clothes, before Flag arrived at my cell, strapping me back up in the harness. I put my flannel over it.
“You don’t want to miss the party”, he’d said, and had a group of guards transport me in a wheelchair to the gym.
I hadn’t seen a doctor for my ankle; which I wasn’t surprised about; but the alcohol, and a couple of little pink “friends” – as Digger had called them, after he pushed them into my hand – made the pain bearable.
Harley had helped me out with a bandage; so sitting there in the wheelchair, drinking the stale beer, leg raised by a folding chair, I was content.
The guards had also “blessed” us with a small karaoke machine, and I was chuckling my way through Diggers strangely erotic rendition of Waltzing Mathilda.
“And he sang as he sat, and waited while his billy boiled: You’ll come a waltzing Mathilda with meeee”; he moaned; one hand pointing into the air, hips thrusting to what I guessed he thought was the beat of the song.
“You did good, kid”, Floyd said from next to me. “Made a choice probably none of us would”. He took a sip of his own beer.
“I guess so”, I answered.
“Now don’t get me wrong, doll”, he continued. “Good doesn’t necessarily mean smart”.
He smirked at me.
“You know you could have died back there”.
“That probably wouldn’t have been good for team morale”, I laughed, and he nodded with a smile.
Harley took over the mic, Digger having fallen from the chair he’d been standing on. Taking a deep breath, she led us into a heavy metal version of Stand By Your Man.
Diablo and Croc were arm-wrestling; actually having a pretty even fight, as the tattooed man would let his hand light on fire every time Croc almost had him defeated.
Once Harley started bawling her way through the second chorus, I decided it was time to turn in.
Wishing Floyd a good night, I wheeled my way towards the metal door.
Edwards was standing outside it.
“Boss wants to see you”, he mumbled, cuffed me to the chair, and wheeled me off, out of the building towards some barracks next to the cellblock.
“What does he want?”, I asked.
“Don’t know, don’t care”, was the answer; as he drove me into the building, and down a hallway.
We stopped outside a door. Edwards banged on it.
“Colonel!”.
Flag opened the door. He’d cleaned up too; and was drying his hair with a towel.
“Uncuff her”, he said shortly.
“Sir?”, Edwards said.
“Do it. I’ll bring her back to her cell when we’re done”.
Edwards looked at him questioningly; but began to uncuff me from the chair.
“I’ll radio if I need you”, Flag said, and Edwards left us.
“Come in”; Flag said to me, and moved out of the way, so I could stand, and limp my way into the room.
A bed, a desk, a couple of chairs, and a minifridge were placed up against the walls of his quarters.
It was surprisingly messy. Not dirty in any way, but both chairs had become makeshift closets, and papers were spread across the desk and bed; telling me that Flag literally took his work to bed with him. I chuckled to myself, thinking it must have been a while since anyone had been in here with him.
He cleared one of the chairs and pulled it out for me to sit on.
“I don’t have bitters or ice, so you’ll have to drink it neat”, he said, handing me a glass of amber liquid I instantly recognized as whiskey.
“How’s the ankle?”, he asked, taking a sip from his own glass, and sitting down on the edge of the desk.
“It’s ok. Digger had some fun little pills in his stash, that took the edge of the pain”, I smirked, and took a sip from my glass.
“I’m sure he did”, Flag retorted, almost looking defeated. “It’s like dealing with a kindergarten. And that?”. He nodded at the bandage placed on my foot and ankle, to decrease the swelling. The thing was covered in stickers, and held together by a couple of glitter hairpins.
“Harley”, we said simultaneously, and laughed, our eyes meeting for the first time. For a second all air went out of the room; but then Flag looked down at the floor.
“They didn’t want you in the hospital wing”, he said, still not looking at me.
“I scare them, don’t I?”, I asked, finishing my drink, and putting the glass on top of a stack of files on the desk.
“They’re worried, yeah”. He finished his own drink, and took both glasses away, putting them down next to a bottle on top of the minifridge. “You’re able to disappear at will; and they don’t know you won’t sneak up on them, and slit their throats”.
“Even with this?”, I asked, gesturing towards the belts and wires strapped to my body.
“Yeah. They ain’t exactly geniuses in this joint”, he scoffed.
He went to sit on the other chair, facing me. He wrung his hands; seeming indecisive about something.
“Hey”, I said, biting my lip. “Thanks for not letting me die”. I looked at him, and smiled, trying to ease the tension in the room.
“You’re Wallers newest toy. She would have had my ass if I did”, he answered shortly.
I raised my eyebrows. “Ok. Good talk”. I went to stand, finding it difficult to put weight on my busted ankle.
Limping towards the door, I was about to knock it, hoping a nearby guard would take me back to my cell. At this point, anywhere was better than here.
“You know, I thought were smarter than that, Y/N”, Flag suddenly said, startling me. “Why would you do something so stupid? Putting yourself at risk like that?”.
“What do you mean?”, I wondered.
He chewed at his bottom lip, looking at me angrily. “You threw yourself headfirst into that situation; almost got yourself killed!” He stood up, and paced the floor, staring me down; as I stood there, mouth agape, not knowing what to say.
“I told you before, I can’t always be around to protect you. You need to be smarter than that”.
“Locking me in a dark room, treating me like and animal? Strapping me up with this bullshit chastity belt contraption? Is that what you call protecting me?”.
I was on a roll. Who does this asshole think he is?, I thought.
“Did you forget that I’m a scumbag, and that the world would be better if I just disappeared?”. I pointed an angry finger at his chest and looked him square in the face. “I was doing my job. The job you hunted me down, trapped me, and tortured me to get me to do”.
He stepped back.
“That wasn’t my call”, he said, and went to pour another glass for himself.
“Waller?”, I asked, voice low.
“She seemed to think that letting the guards here work on you a bit before we returned, would make you more compliant”. He wouldn’t meet my eyes.
I scoffed. “Why do you work for her?”.
He lowered his glass, having just been about to take a sip.
“I guess I’m a bad guy too”, he said, and drank the whole content of the glass in one swig.
I took a step forward; having forgotten all about my hurt ankle. The pain from stepping down on it, made me stumble and fall.
Flag ran over to catch me, but I hit the floor with my knees, cursing.
“Shit”, I yelped, and tried to stand again.
Flag grasped my elbow, and put his arm around my waist, supporting my weight. I pushed at his chest.
“Let go; I can take care of myself”, I said, struggling against his grasp. He held on to me, forcing me to lean against him; chest to chest.
“Would you just let me help you?”, he growled at me, putting his other arm under my knees; lifting me into the air.
Kicking my legs, I grabbed a fistful of his hair, yanking his head back, my other hand scratching at his arms.
“Get. Off. Me!”, I roared, and smacked him across the face.
Having been walking towards a chair, Flag changed direction.
“Fine!”, he barked; and let me go.
---
I landed with a bump on the bed. Shocked, all I did was stare up at him; standing over me, breathing heavily. Grasping my face with both hands, he leant over me; and planted his lips on mine.
I think I blacked out for a second – everything was Flag and his lips, tugging at mine.
His hands moved to my shoulders, gently pushing me backwards; until I was lying down underneath him; his one knee between mine.
I opened my mouth slightly, letting his soft tongue find its way to mine.
Grinding his hips against me, his groin meeting my core; it felt like I was on fire. I threw my head back and moaned.
Flags lips moved towards my neck, his hot breath sending tingles through my body. He kissed and nibbled at the sensitive skin below my ear, and moved down; reaching the spot where he’d used the strange gun to place the nano-bomb.
He suddenly groaned and pulled back; getting of the bed.
“Shit, we can’t do this”, he cursed, running his fingers through his hair, and pacing the floor again. “I shouldn’t have done that. I’m sorry. This is wrong. I should take you back to your cell”. His eyes met mine, almost pleading.
The pain in my ankle completely forgotten, I stood up. I stormed across the floor, pushed him against the wall, and grabbed the back of his neck; pulling him in to another kiss.
“I don’t give a shit if this is wrong”, I said pointedly. “You finish what you started, Flag!”.
His eyes were instantly on fire. He grabbed my bottom, and lifted me up so quickly, it was almost dizzying.
“Rick”, he breathed.
“Rick”, I smirked; and pushed my lips to his, our tongues colliding, and fighting for dominance. He tasted like whiskey and chewing gum.
As I straddled his waist, he spun us around; pushing me against the wall – his hips grinding against my core once more. He grabbed at my collar, pulling it down; and nibbled and licked my exposed neck and shoulder.
The sensation almost sent me over the edge, as I felt his hardening member through his cargo pants, rubbing against my most sensitive spot.
I’m about to have sex with a guy who wears cargo pants, I chuckled to myself.
“What”, Rick asked, out of breath.
“Nothing”, I answered. “Just keep going”.
He carried me to the bed, and laid me down; my legs still in a tight grip around his body. His weight on me put even more pressure on my core, and I gasped loudly.
“Eager kitten, aren’t you?”, he chuckled into my ear, and tugged at my lobe with his teeth. My eyes rolled back, and I let out a mewl, as his fingertips travelled down my side, ending up at my waistband.
He ran one finger along the band, once again kissing me, this time softly; exploring the curves of my lips with his own.
He sat up on his knees suddenly, making my butt move up his thighs; as I was still holding on to him something fierce, with my own.
He looked down at me, soft eyes exploring my own, then travelling down my body.
“You sure you want this?”, he asked. Biting my lip, I nodded.
Rick pulled of his t-shirt, and as it travelled up his body, I swallowed hard. His muscles flexed, revealing the reason he was so strong.
Colonel Flag worked out! He was fit; slender, but not skinny. His muscles were defined, and his skin smooth and tanned. I ran a hand up his torso, and scratched at his chest; feeling the small amount of hair there, soft against my fingertips.
Throwing his t-shirt on the floor, he smiled smugly, and chuckled at me. Putting his hand around my back, he pulled me up into a seated position on his lap; our faces inches from each other.
I felt his breath again, warm; and he grabbed my bottom lip between his teeth, nibling slightly, before exhaling and looking me into the eyes again.
My body was frozen in place. What the hell are you doing to me, colonel?, I thought.
“Let’s get this of you”, Rick smiled, and pulled at my flannel shirt. Taking it of me, he threw it behind his back; and it landed on the desk, knocking over one of his piles, making us both laugh.
I ran my fingertips down his spine, as he leaned in for another kiss. I teased him; pulling my mouth away at the last second, tilting my head, and biting my bottom lip.
He tried again, and as I did the same thing; his eyes on fire, he growled, and grabbed both my hips.
He lifted me from his lap effortlessly, and threw me backwards, making me land on the middle of the bed, on top of the papers strewn there.
With one hand, he took a firm grip around my wrists, holding them over my head.
I giggled and struggled against his grip, as he straddled my legs with his own, and grabbed the bottom of my face; kissing my lips passionately.
“Who’s the eager one now?”, I smirked at him, as he pulled back. His answer was to kiss me again, grab my hip with one hand, and flip me over; still holding on to my wrists. Grabbing and squeezing my buttcheek, he leant over, and whispered in my ear from behind me.
“I can stop any time you ask”, he breathed, and chuckled when I mewled in response to his fingers close vicinity to my core.
He smacked my butt, and flipped me over again; this time letting go of my wrists, and sitting back up.
I threw myself at him – our lips once again meeting – one hand in his hair, the other scratching his back from top to bottom, ending up at his waistband; slipping my fingers underneath it, to stroke the top of his ass. It was firm; and I was eager to find out how it looked.
Smiling giddily, I started undoing his belt; as he sat back, hands behind him, looking at me intently.
Opening his pants fly, I noticed the fabric of his boxers struggling to keep the little colonel in place. Rick inhaled quickly, as I let my finger softly stroke his length through the fabric.
Biting my lip, I looked up at him. One eyebrow raised, he smirked at me. You’re a smug sonofabitch, I thought – but I had to admit to myself that he did have plenty to be smug about.
Rick leaned back towards me, and as his tongue restarted its exploration of my mouth, he started tugging at the hem of my tank top, trying to get it over my head – something that turned out to be an impossible task, due to the harness I was still wearing.
“Shit “, Rick said.
I sat back on the bed and sighed. I knew this had been too good to be true.
Rick caught my eyes, as if searching for something. He shook his head.
“Fuck it”, he said. He got up, walked to his desk, and opened the top drawer. He took out his key to the disc on my chest.
Once he got back to the bed, he unlocked the harness; and I lifted my butt slightly, letting him pull it off me.
He quickly threw it on the floor, and looked down at me, as I sat there – eyelevel with his stomach.
I ran my hand up his toned torso, and he grabbed my wrists again, lifting my arms into the air. Then – as eagerly as he had with the harness – he pulled my tank top over my head, leaving me in my bra and shorts.
He ran a finger across the uncovered top part of my breast, giving me goosebumps, and making me tingle in all the right places.
I looked up at him, once again biting my lip.
“You’ve got to stop doing that, kitten”, Rick breathed. “You don’t know what it does to me”.
Placing my palm over his covered member, gently squeezing it; feeling it’s warmth through the fabric.
“I can tell exactly what it does to you”, I smirked, licked my lips, and kissed his stomach just above the waistband of his boxers.
I started tugging at his cargo pants, and he stepped out of them, kicking them away.
Still seated, I put my hands on each of his butt cheeks, and pulled him closer to my face.
Looking up at him, I opened my mouth and put my lips on his length. His eyes widened, as he gave a small gasp.
“Y/N”, he breathed.
I moaned, and tugged gently at the fabric of his boxers with my teeth. Hearing him hiss, I laughed quietly; and hooked my fingers in the waistband, starting to pull down his boxers.
Behind my back, I could feel him unhooking my bra. Removing it myself; he meanwhile shucked his boxers.
Hi there, my eyes lit up. Standing at attention, Ricks member was right in front of my face; and I couldn’t help myself.
I placed one hand on his butt cheek, and the other closed around my new friend. Gently kissing the tip, I tasted the salty pre-ejaculate waiting there.
I opened my mouth; and meeting his eyes above me I took him in to my mouth, stroking his length with my hand.
I moaned, moving my head back and forth – tasting his warm skin, and feeling his veins ripple against my lips as I moved.
Ricks hands suddenly pulled at my hair, making me let go of his manhood.
Mouth still agape, I looked up at him, panting. He looked about to explode with lust.
He pushed me back in the bed, and pulled down my pants with shaking hands. Slinging them who knows where; he crawled over my body, grasping my right breast with a firm hand.
His other hand travelling upwards from my knee on the inside of my leg; he put his lips around my nipple, and sucked greedily.
I gasped loudly, as his fingers reached my covered folds. He continued to assault my right nipple for a couple of seconds more, before smirking up at me; then quickly pulled my panties to the side, and slid his finger between my wet labia.
He gave my left nipple a quick kiss, and moved his face to meet mine, grasping my lips with his own.
Continually kissing me, my hands in his hair; he stroked his finger from my entrance up to my sweet spot. Finding it engorged, he rubbed it gently between his thumb and index finger; driving me crazy with his circular motions.
My panties were discarded by joint effort.
He slid his free hand behind my torso, grasped my waist, holding on to me firmly. His member poking at my thigh, he held me down; one leg intertwining with mine.
He returned to my clit, stroking it softly.
His pleasuring hand pulled me closer and closer to the edge, when suddenly he slid his ring and middle finger inside me; and moved them in a come hither motion, rubbing his palm against my nub.
I pulled my mouth from his; gasping and moaning. A fiery tingle started spreading from my core, all the way through my arms and legs, fingers and toes.
I grasped the sheet, and threw my head back. Rick kissed and sucked at my neck, letting his warm breath there intensify the sensation on the rest of my body.
His hand continually moved – pressing upwards inside me, and downwards outside.
“I…”, I gasped.
“I know, kitten”, he breathed heavily. He kissed me again. “Let go”.
A hot wave, intense and earthmoving, washed over my body, from my core and outwards.
I didn’t scream. I didn’t breathe. My whole body tensed up, and I swear I floated into the air for a second; before dropping back down on the bed.
---
All the while, Rick had been staring at my face.
My body continued to climax, even after he had removed his hand from my warmth. He was now stroking my face, examining every inch of it with inquisitive eyes, as my muscles relaxed more and more; allowing me to breathe in a steadier pace.
“That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen”, he said, voice low; his index finger travelling from my forehead, over my nose, and finally stroking the edges of my lips.
I sputtered with laughter.
“I mean it!”, he said. I slapped his shoulder lightly.
“My cumface is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?”, I laughed at him.
“Yeah!”, he laughed.
“You can’t be serious”, I smiled.
“Well I did see an original WWII Lanchester submachine gun once, that got me pretty hard”, he smirked.
I laughed out loud again, making him chuckle.
“Speaking of hard…”, he said, and moved to lie between my legs. “… I’m not done with you”.
His eyes bore into mine; and he positioned himself at my entrance.
I gasped; and Rick slid into me slowly, letting me feel every delicious ripple of him as he did. Everything was this moment, and we started to move together.

disclaimers;
this is fanfiction moreover, this is crossover fanfiction, so not all of the dates and timelines are going to be exact or accurate BUT for the sake of my story the events have been moved and changed but the general timing and timeline of events are relatively the same, just the dates are different. and little bit of bella & edward bashing cuz i low-key dislike them both
with the cast you'll find that finn, elijah and niklaus are alive, but hayley is dead. yeah, finn was resurrected and so was mikael, mikael was resurrected for the purpose to kill the hollow, and nik and 'lijah could live, and personally i really like finn and think he never got the chance to live. also hugh dancy as kol cuz we don't support nate buzz here, it ain't it sis.
there will be mature content, such as language, descriptions and sexual scenes (or not idk yet, maybe like bonus chapters or smthn), if you're not cool with that or a minor, stop reading, or do but i warned you.
all rights go to their rightful owners/creators and producers, all i own are my OC's and my version of the timeline and plots.

3rd Times a Charm, Chap 4
GUYS I AM SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY I FINALLY HAD TIME TO WRITE, hope you enjoy!
I woke up shaking. No someone was shaking me.
"FEYRE." Someone screamed my name. Alis. I jumped out of bed. What was going on? Was Tamlin here? Was Alis's ex here? Did the bakery near us run out of blueberry muffins?
Alis's expression was not scared or frightened or angry but full of excitement. "Your tired ass fell asleep before I could get you to spill the beans on your date. So what happened? You don't have that it was a good date smile, why? TELL ME."
"Slow down Alis, your gonna give me a headache at 6 in the morning."
"It's actually 5 pm, and I made you coffee it's on your side table. I added a bit of creamer just like you like it."
"You're a lifesaver, Alis. A gift sent from the gods." she chuckled as I greedily took the mug from the side table and drank the coffee. I could feel the heavenly liquid coursing through my veins, making me more alert.
"Oh and that violet-eyed dude is in the kitchen." I choked on my coffee and whipped my head to her. "What." Rhys- Rhysand was here? For how long? Why was he here? To see me? Don't be stupid Feyre, I thought. I thought we agreed that disappointment was fake.
I leaped out of bed and stumbled to my closet, looking for something nice to wear. What hadn't I gone shopping with Alis when she asked? I rummaged through my closet when I noticed a bag near the door of my closet. I picked it up and looked inside. There was a deep blue blouse, baggy light-washed jeans, and tiny hoop earrings. Had I bought these? When? I never went shopping, Ha-
"I got that for you this morning!" Alis hollered. Alis was really a lifesaver. I thanked her 5 times and promised to make it up to her until she shouted at me to go change, and I ran into the bathroom, making sure not to run into Rhysand.
I put on the outfit, and I had to admit I looked good. Even though the jeans were loose, You could still see my curves and gods the blouse. For some reason, it reminded me of Rhysand and those impossible violet eyes. He was so beautiful, though I would never admit it because his ego would skyrocket. He looked inhumanly beautiful like he was something else, something much more powerful. I w-
"FEYRE WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?"
I jumped and slammed back into reality. Stop daydreaming Feyre, he doesn't like you. End of story. I quickly put on the earrings and opened the door, Alis was sprawled on the bed and jumped up when she saw me. She squealed and said "Feyre you look amazing! I knew those clothes would look amazing on you for your date-"
"DATE?" I screamed. Date?! When had I agreed to go on a date with Rhysand? He obviously wasn't interested in me, what was going on?
Her eyes were filled with suspicion for a moment, but then turned to shock and amusement
"So you don't remember anything from last night?" What the hell is she talking about?
"Obviously not! How the hell did I get another date?!"
Alis told me about last night, how I woke her up when I dropped a wine glass when I went to get some at 3 in the morning, how we ended up drinking wine, laughing, talking, and then going on my phone. She told me how I messaged another guy, I found out was Azriel, and asked for a date, he agreed and I told him to pick the place. Alis had then passed out but I must have messaged more because there were so many messages, full of random talks, and I realized we were talking about Again but Better by Christine Riccio, a novel we both enjoyed immensely but he seemed shy to admit it. Gods Feyre, what have you done? Wait isn't Rhysand in the house?! Wait why do you care whether he hears you, he DOESNT like you!
Alis must have seen my confusion, because then she smirked and said casually "Oh yeah, Rhysand isn't really here I just said that because that is the only way to get you out of bed."
I glared at her, but I couldn't really be mad at her, she was right. And that surprised me.
I decided not to eat breakfast because my date, Azriel was taking me somewhere. I was scrolling through the pictures on tinder and our past conversations. I had to admit, he looked gorgeous. He was muscled like Rhys and Cassian, but his eyes were different. Not different like Rhys and the same hazel like Cassians, but like they had shadows in them. He looked as if he would have shadows around him, curling in his ear to tell him things. There you go again Feyre, your artist's eye is very weird these days.
I shook my head and stood up. It was almost 6, and I had to walk to the restaurant we were going to. He had offered to pick me up when we were talking last night, but I was still too suspicious of paranoid to go in a car with a man. I thanked that my drunk self spared my embarrassment and did not tell him that.
I said goodbye to Alis and she wished me luck, with her nephews in her lap. I smiled and hugged them both before leaving.
Velaris was the perfect weather tonight, warm but with a cooling breeze that blew the hair out of my face. It was 5:40, and the sun looked like it was going to set soon. The clouds looked like a painting, and I was enraptured in them. I could never paint clouds like that, could never get the shadows right, c-
One second I was thinking about the clouds, and the next second my body slammed into something. Yet again, not something, but someone. I lost balance from the blow, but someones strong, definitely a mans, hands reached and put his arm around my waist. The hand felt familiar. The scent was similar too. I looked at who had saved me from probably getting a really bad butt bruise and saw a pair of violet eyes. Shit
"Feyre Darling, it seems I am always bumping into you. not that I'm complaining." He had his signature smirk, his violet eyes dancing with amusement. I wanted to paint those eyes so badly, to find the right-DATE FEYRE. You have a date.
"Prick" I mumbled, and he chuckled. He released his hold on me, and a small part of me wished he kept it there. His eyes widened a bit as he took me in, drinking in every. Single. Inch. Of. Me. He lingered on my lips, and something pooled low in my stomach. Shitshitshitshitshit.
"So why are you so dressed up? Not that I'm mad, you look delicious." I might have blushed a bit at that, but I was also annoyed that he had such a hold over me. I needed to get back on track. Date with Azriel.
"If you must know you busybody I am going on a date." Again his eyes dimmed a bit, but I told myself it was fake, how could eyes dim? A growing part of me snorted at that and said, Oh you wait.
"Last Night's one was that good? Damn, what did your date do?" I appreciated that he respected and did not make assumptions about my sexuality, most men I knew, scratch that, all men I knew other than Cassian and Rhys would do that.
"Yesterday's date and I realized we could be way better as friends, but I gave him my sister's number." His brows furrowed at that as if remembering something. They smoothed instantly.
"Well Feyre Darling, I wouldn't want to make you late for your date-"
"No, you wouldn't" I cut in. I might have sounded rude, but it was the only way I was going to go on my date with Azriel and not cancel it. I dusted the dirt off my pants, and walked off, making sure not to look back at him, not hearing him sigh, not hearing him say, "I'll be waiting, Feyre Darling."
The restaurant was extremely fancy, with gold chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The furniture was all brown, and though it looked expensive they all had a worn aura to them. It was like everything in here was well used. I could smell the food from the kitchen and it smelt heavenly. I walked along the hardwood floor, my shoes creating a little click-clack sound.
I spotted Azriel a few tables away. He was reading the menu, his dark hair falling on his face. He looks like a shadow. I thought. My hands itched to paint it, to have swirling black shadows around him, whispering to him, curling around his caramel brown ears.
GET IT TOGETHER FEYRE, god. I shook myself for good measure and walked up to Azriel's table. He must have heard the sound my shoes made because he looked up before I was at the table. He got up and pulled out my seat. I blushed a bit and thanked him.
"So, Feyre right?"
"Yep, the one and only."
"You are an amazing drunk texter." I whipped my head to his face and stared at him my eyes a bit wide. He had a small smile, his eyes full of amusement.
"Why thank you Azriel," I said smugly, not giving him the satisfaction of my embarrassment. No way in hell was I going to tell him Alis had looked at every text before I sent them.
"You know, it seems like it was too good," he said in a low whisper, gliding his finger across the rim of his glass of water. "Like somebody helped you."
I sputtered, trying to come up with a good explanation, and all the smugness I had before had mysteriously vanished. How did he guess?
"I'm in the CIA Feyre, I know how to find out people's secrets." Oh god, I said that last part out loud.
Before I could say anything the waiter came to ask what we wanted. I looked through the menu and smiled. They had mushroom ravioli. I had gone through a big Twilight Phase, and sometimes I wondered if I ever got over it. I ordered the mushroom ravioli, and I forced Az to get the same thing.
We started talking about Twilight, and I found out that he secretly loved the books and movies. I thanked the mother when he said he was Team Edward, gods knows what I would have said to him if he was Team Jacob. We talked about how there should have been more carlesme, how Rosalie deserved better, and we both had a love for Garrett. He also talked a bit about his time at the CIA, though he couldn't share much. The more I talked with Az, the more I realized that we wouldn't work as a couple, but I would do anything to have him as a friend, family even. Even though I was smiling, I felt huge guilt in me. I was going to have to hurt this man. I also realized that Elain would work well with him, I would give him her number. Dang Feyre you really like to play matchmaker don't you.
We finished our dinner, and we were outside the restaurant when I decided I would tell him.
"Az-"
"Yes, I would like to stay friends Feyre." His eyes were warm and kind, not sad or mad at all. I stared at him in shock.
"H-"
"I work for the CIA remember? I saw it in your eyes and body language."
"Oh. Thanks, Az, I'm super glad I made a new friend." I smiled up at him and hugged him. He stiffened for a second before hugging me back. I made sure to give him Elain's number before I walked back home. I felt so much lighter, Even though I wasn't making any boyfriends I was making friends, friends I knew I would remember forever.

[ONE] [TWO] [THREE] [FOUR]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER FIVE
Because they had such an early dinner, it was only 6 PM by the time everyone had finished eating, cleaning up their dishes, and taken showers. Kate and Elizabeth chatted in Elizabeth’s room for a bit before they decided to go downstairs. When they entered the parlor room most of their friends were already there. Harry, Matt, and Jimmy stood near the fire, talking with beers in hand, while Daisy and Celeste sat on opposite couches, shuffling the ‘Spill It’ cards. Elizabeth and Kate each took the empty armchairs when Lewis and Edward cautiously walked in carrying four large glasses each, all filled with alcohol.
“Eight drinks? But there’s nine of us playing,” Celeste noticed, grabbing the boys’ attention.
They all took a seat except for Jimmy who shook his head and slowly started making his way out of the room, “No, I’m not playing. Every time we play this game either a fight breaks out from that one damn card, or there’s some weird sexual tension. And since my girlfriend isn’t here to help me with either of those scenarios, if you know what I mean,” he wiggled his eyebrows indicatively, “I’m just gonna watch a movie with Heather and Owen.”
A few people called after him, wanting him to stay, but he was gone from sight. He definitely wasn’t wrong. There were over one hundred cards in the deck that had been added in over the years, so it wasn’t often that they played the whole deck. There were a lot of cards in there that got pretty crude. Most of them were just silly, but there was one card in particular that everyone hated to get. It wasn’t even that crazy of a dare card, but it somehow always managed to bring on absolutely insane fights when played. They always talked about just getting rid of that card, but never got around to it. 
Everyone did their best to explain the game to Harry. There was a shuffled deck of cards with five categories throughout. In a clockwise rotation, starting with the youngest person, one player at a time picks up the top card. Depending on the category, either the player will answer the question or the entire group will. The amount of sips of alcohol each player has to take is on the card. The person who drinks the least wins. Harry got the gist and would figure it out as they went along. 
Since Daisy was the youngest, she would start first and would continue to Matt, then Elizabeth, Kate, Lewis, Celeste, Edward, and Harry last before it was Daisy’s turn again. 
“Hold on! Before we start,” Edward interjected, “Just to be clear: The bet we had earlier is not being paused while we play this game. Any hookups during this counts.”
Everyone mumbled in agreement. Elizabeth caught Harry’s eyes, wiggling her eyebrows as if to say ‘let the fun begin’, which made Harry blow air out of his nose in a muffled laugh and smile broadly.
Daisy reached for the first card and said, “Oh we’re starting off with a boring one. The category is WHOEVER,” she informed and said, “Whoever had the longest relationship takes one sip.”
Everyone’s eyes shot to Kate and Lewis, grinning, who both laughed and took a sip from their drinks.
Matt was next. He picked a card and said, “NEVER HAVE I EVER. - So everyone participates in this,” he informed Harry and read aloud, “Never have I ever had sexual desires that I would not discuss with my partner. Take one sip.”
Laughter ensued when they all looked around the room. Everyone except Matt, Lewis, and Daisy had taken a sip. Lewis looked at his bride in disbelief, “What? You have?...We’ll discuss later,” he flirted, making Kate giggle.
Daisy interjected, “If it’s a threesome I’ll join!”
“Of course you will,” Celeste teased.
Elizabeth giggled and read her card, “TRUTH - When did you have your first kiss? Describe it and take one sip. If the person you had your first kiss with is playing, take two sips and SPILL.”
Kate, Matt, Harry, and Celeste burst into tears, crying, “I remember this!”
Elizabeth took one sip and tried to explain to her college friends as the rest of them tried not to lose it, “Okay, well firstly he’s not here, unfortunately. His name was Tom. He was a very sweet boy. I was fourteen and we were at a party that Jimmy threw when his parents weren’t home. It was my first game of spin the bottle and we’ll just say that it was a very….memorable kiss.”
“Yeah because he shoved his tongue halfway down your throat! You choked on it!” Kate roared with laughter, “You almost died!”
Harry flicked a tear that was rolling down his cheek as he managed to get out, “I have never seen so much spit in my entire life! The amount of spit on that red shirt you wore looked like you had poured your drink all down the front!” which just made everyone laugh more. 
Once everyone calmed down they continued playing. Kate’s card was ‘MOST LIKELY TO - Choose chicken nuggets over sex’. They all agreed on Edward to drink. Lewis also pulled a MOST LIKELY TO card, reading ‘have an affair with a married man/woman’, which Daisy drank to. Celeste was dared to venmo her EX $1.00 for “being a fucking loser” which everyone found quite entertaining as she went on a rant about how it was very fitting because he happened to be a fucking loser, and she had to take two sips. Edward’s card was a dare to whisper the naughtiest things he could think of into the player to his right’s ear for thirty seconds, which happened to be Harry. He had to take one sip, but if he managed to make Harry blush, Harry had to take a sip as well.
Harry’s facial expressions changed wildly throughout the thirty seconds as Edward whispered between cackles. Sure enough, a bright shade of red flushed Harry’s cheeks.
“Bloody hell, Edward,” Harry laughed, fanning himself, “Take me on a date first, will ya?” Harry took a sip of his drink and reached for a card while everyone laughed. He cleared his throat, “Alright, let’s see. My card says, TRUTH - Have you ever had a crush on someone in this room? If so, take one sip for every person mentioned. Spill it.” Harry put his card down and looked vaguely around the room at everyone before staring at Lewis and holding eye contact.
“Go on, man,” Lewis smirked, knowingly, as everyone looked between both Lewis and Harry, unsure of what was going on.
“Shit,” Harry smiled nervously, shaking his head and taking one sip of his drink, half the room taken aback.
“Who?” Celeste demanded, eager eyes staring at him and darting around the room.
Elizabeth’s heart started to thump in her chest. Before this moment, she never would have guessed it was coming, but for some reason she knew. Maybe Kate’s years of nagging her about Harry had finally sunk in. It was rare that her best friend was wrong, after all. Elizabeth’s eyes practically bore holes into Harry’s face, trying to see if she could manage to grab his attention before he spoke. But he never looked up at her. He kept his gaze low, avoiding eye contact with everyone. 
“Alright, alright,” he still had his nervous smile, “I might have had a tiny crush on Lizzy back in the day.”
Elizabeth’s eyes widened slightly, thinking ‘dammit, Kate was right the whole time’, when Lewis scoffed, “You talked about her every day, bro!”
To which Kate gasped and smacked her husband, “You never told me that! Why didn’t you ever tell me?”
“Bro code, babe,” Lewis whispered back.
“Okay, so….a big crush,” Harry admitted, cheeks getting more red and still holding his uncomfortable smile as everyone started to look in between him and Elizabeth. “It’s fine! We’re all adults now! Let’s carry on with the game.” He finished, sitting back in his chair.
Elizabeth looked over at Kate who shot her a quick ‘I told you so’ face, before turning her attention back to Harry, waiting for him to look up at her. Okay, so he used to like her. No big deal. Harry was right, they’re adults now. A lot of time has passed. There’s no reason to fuss over it now. Although, the realization that Harry had a crush on her in school somehow made her feel more comforted. She always wondered why the relationship they had when they were teenagers was so strong. They had such a wild connection back then. Now it made sense; it was because they both had a crush on each other.
Harry finally caught her eye and he stared at her, waiting for some kind of facial response. Elizabeth’s expression softened, and to lighten the tension between them she shook her head, imitating disbelief, and mouthed ‘unbelievable’. Harry relaxed, smirking at her and shrugging his shoulders.
Daisy’s next card was a dare to kiss everyone in the room and to take two sips of her drink. Matt and Edward started cackling, realizing that this meant she would basically lose the bet. Although she seemed annoyed at first, it didn’t take long for a smile to be plastered on her face as she went around the room and planted kisses on everyone’s lips, lingering on Harry a little longer than she had with anyone else, to the point where Kate had to cough to get her to back off. She sat back down, looking pleased with herself. Elizabeth felt a slight pang of annoyance until she felt Kate’s reassuring hand on hers.
It was Matt’s turn. “MOST LIKELY TO - Accidentally kill someone. Well, that’s me, innit?” He chuckled to himself, taking a sip.
Elizabeth took her turn next and read, “TRUTH - What’s the worst lie you ever told your parents? One sip.” After a minute of thought she took a sip and said, “Probably when I told them I was sleeping over Kate’s house when Kate, Lewis, Harry and I stole Mrs. Hamilton’s car to go to the beach.” The other three sat up, remembering what happened as she continued, starting to giggle at the memory, “We were hours away from home when it broke down on the side of the road and only 30 minutes from the beach, so instead of calling one of our parents or roadside assistance, we used the rest of the money we had to take a bus to the beach and then hitch-hiked home all before any of our parents noticed. We told our parents that we didn’t know what happened to Lewis’ mom’s car and that it must have just been stolen.”
“Holy shit!” Lewis snickered, “My mom was pissed. I’m pretty sure she knew we stole it when they found it the next day on the side of the road filled with crisps and candy. That whole experience was easily the most terrified I have been in my entire life.”
“Yeah, do you remember the man that gave us a lift home? He was scary,” Harry shuttered at the thought.
Kate read her card. “It’s a Never Have I Ever, so we’ll go around the room,” she informed, “NEVER HAVE I EVER - Had sexual fantasies about anyone in the room. Spill and take one sip for every person you mention.”
Eager muttering ensued and just as Kate was about to speak, Daisy voiced, “Ok, can us ladies just agree that we’ve all had at least one sexual fantasy about Harry at one point or another? I mean, come on!” she gestured towards him, making him blush behind a smile again.
Kate rolled her eyes and shrugged, admitting, “Okay, yeah. Harry, I guess. And obviously Lewis,” and she took two sips.
Lewis feigned surprise and shook a joking finger at Harry, “Listen, man. She’s a married woman now!” Which made Harry throw his hands up, jokingly defeated. Lewis laughed in response and said, “Honestly the only person I’ve ever fantasized about in this room is my wife,” he took one sip of his drink, earning a kiss from Kate.
Celeste took two sips and rolled her eyes, “Harry and Edward.”
Edward winked at her before thinking and taking three sips, “Celeste, Daisy, and Elizabeth.” 
Harry took one sip and said, “Lizzy.” When he saw Elizabeth’s slightly stunned expression he shot back, teasingly, “Don’t act so surprised! I just admitted that I used to like you! I was a horny teenager!” 
Everyone laughed as Elizabeth pursed her lips and nodded, “True.”
“I’ve fantasized about everyone here,” Daisy confessed, taking seven sips from her drink.
“Let me think…” Matt said, tapping his chin, “Daisy and, well, obviously Elizabeth. Especially after that kiss,” he added and winked tauntingly at her, taking two sips.
Elizabeth snorted, “That’s funny, because I fantasized about you until we had that kiss.”
“What? What was wrong with my kiss?” Edward snapped in her direction.
Elizabeth laughed and continued, “Yeah, Matt and Harry,” she said matter-of-factly before taking two sips of her drinks. When she saw the look of shock on Harry’s face she mocked him and said, “Don’t act surprised! I was a horny teenager.”
While Lewis, Celeste, and Edward took their turn, Harry and Elizabeth kept stealing glances at each other. Harry mimicked her, mouthing ‘unbelievable’  while shaking his head and winking at her.
It was finally Harry’s turn again. He picked up the card and read in his deep voice, “DARE - Let the player to your left pick one person to quarantine with for the remainder of the night with no other human contact. During this time you must each divulge a secret that you’ve been hiding from the other person. You must start now. If you make it, you win the game! Spend your time wisely. Three sips each.”
Everyone gasped as he read the card. Groans among the group sounded, “I can’t believe he picked that card on his first time playing this game!” and “I thought that card was gone for good. I haven’t seen it picked in forever!”
Harry furrowed his eyebrows in confusion while everyone turned their attention to Edward, who was in charge of picking someone to go with him, shouting out suggestions on who to choose. 
“Dude, pick Lizzy!” Lewis shouted.
“He can’t pick Lizzy, that’s a cursed card! What if they have a huge fight or something?” cried Kate
Matt scoffed, “It’s a card! The only reason it always ended badly was because the person who drew the card was always a piece of shit. Besides, so what if the card is cursed and they fight? They’ve gone nearly ten years without speaking already, what difference does it make now? I think it’d be more entertaining if it were Daisy to go with him.” 
Kate shot him dagger eyes as Daisy piped up, “I’ll take one for the team!” winking at Harry.
Elizabeth was stunned by what Matt said and she immediately turned her head towards Harry to see the look of disappointment on his face before being replaced with a forced smile at Daisy. Elizabeth definitely didn’t want Harry to be trapped in a room with Daisy all night; she knew what would go down if they did. She was suddenly aware that she was feeling jealous at the idea of Harry with someone else, and that scared her. Elizabeth did not want to crush on Harry Styles again; it turned out poorly the last time she did. Still, she thought that what Matt had said was quite harsh. She and Harry had just started getting close again, and Matt knew how Elizabeth felt the last time that ended. Why would he want Elizabeth to lose her friend again?
“Can’t he just pick another card?” Elizabeth asked before being shot down by Edward.
Celeste spoke, “Okay, but I think I should also mention that if you do pick Lizzy, her and Harry are forced to stay in a room together for hours, meaning there’s a good chance that they both would lose the bet.”
“Mhmm...Good point,” Edward nodded, sitting up straight.
“Um, excuse me? Nowhere on that card does it say we have to kiss!” Elizabeth pointed out.
“Sorry, Elizabeth,” Edward said, “It’s a risk I’m willing to take. I choose you!”
Lewis reminded them of what the card meant, “To be clear, your time ends at midnight. You have to stay together at all times; that means the bathroom, too. You must have no contact with another person. No phones, either. One good secret needs to be shared by the two of you. If you fail to finish your isolation, or we find out that you don’t share a secret, then you both lose the game and owe the group a months-worth of drinks, which I will remind you that we drink a lot! May the odds be ever in your favor,” He finished, giving them a joking salute while everyone else held up their drinks.
“Is it really still until midnight?” Elizabeth asked, “We usually play this game so much later in the evening. The card is only meant to be for two hours tops. Harry and I will be more than double that.” Elizabeth was waved off with shouts of, ‘it’s the rule!’ 
Harry grinned over at Elizabeth, raising his eyebrows, shrugging his shoulders, and standing up with a hand outstretched for her, “Alright, shall we?”
Elizabeth let out an exasperated sigh, amused by everyone’s reactions, and slightly relieved that she was picked over Daisy. Taking Harry’s hand, she stood up. “Alright. It’s you and me for the rest of the night, but let’s go outside for now, so no one can listen in.”
“Kinky,” Celeste snickered, “But just remember when you come back inside you have to go straight to a room. We can’t see you.”
Harry placed a guiding hand on the small of Elizabeth’s back, leading her out of the room and towards the patio.
“Don’t forget to use protection!” Edward called after them.
Harry looked down at her and laughed as she yelled back, “Shut the fuck up!”
Four hours alone with Harry? And they each had to share a secret with each other? Elizabeth didn’t even know if she had a secret that she’d been keeping from Harry. At first Elizabeth was excited at the idea of spending four hours alone with Harry. But, honestly, the further down the lawn they went the more nervous Elizabeth got. That card did have a dark history. She couldn’t think of a single friendship that went unscathed by the end of it. Half of the people that pulled that card broke before the time was up and gave each other the silent treatment for days or weeks at a time. The other half stopped talking for good. Even if what Matt said was true, there’s a lot of bad things associated with this card now. Is it possible that the card really was cursed?
