“Take me back.” by Theo4thestars

Stiles finds out Derek is dead. He’s hurt. He finds out Allison is alive. He’s never been more happy. He’s conflicted so he goes home.

Stiles came home and Derek did not die.

It's been fifteen years, and Derek still has feelings about that Jeep.

Crawling back to you by ads1008

(1/1 I 10,901 I General i Sterek)

Stiles gets a call from Eli that Derek has died. He runs home in time to be at the funeral where Eli barrels into him crying shaking like he is five years old again after a nightmare. Stiles holds him tight looking up at the pack he walked away from years ago. The ones that hurt him and his family too many times to count. His eyes landed on Scott, who looked sad and sorry. Stiles didn’t care for his pity. Rage boiled in him at just seeing his ex-best friend. The man that almost ruined everything for them 15 years ago but it looks like he already did. Stiles pulled Eli away, handing him off to his dad. Stiles walked over landing a hard punch to Scott’s temple.

“What did you do?” Stiles shouted.

Stiles knew he had to bring back the love of his life and the father of his son, with the help of Lydia and the rest of the gang. Stiles must fight one last demon of his own to bring Derek back. By doing so, secrets of the past fifteen years will be told. His young son, Eli, will know more about himself and his parents than either Stiles or Derek was ready to share.

Derek grew quiet, eyes searching Stiles’ face. “It’s called True Mates.” “Do you think we…” he started, but cut himself off. He wasn’t sure he wanted an answer. “Maybe,” Derek nodded anyway, eyes cast down. Their hands were intertwined on the bed where they sat, and Stiles traced Derek’s knuckles with his fingers. “How would we know?” Derek sighed and leaned over to rest his head against Stiles’ shoulder. “There’s always a sign."

Thank god someone had the brains to call him. Now he was running through the preserve to that stupid stump, hoping that he gets there before it's too late and he loses his reason for living.

"X" marks the spot by mmspring

(3/3 I 39,796 I General I Sterek)

"Please, bring my nephew back" Stiles stays silent for a second, before clearing his throat and speaking again. "Do you remember that time when you asked if someone in this town could stay dead?" he asks, and waits for the other man to confirm that he, indeed, remembers. "Well, let's hope the answer is still no".

Or

Stiles has to save the day once again, but he doesn't want the recognition for it.

Nothing Ever Stays Dead by Violet_Michelle

Following Derek’s death, Eli took the Jeep and went to find the only person he thought could get his dad back.

Yoda Said It Best by OKDeanna, thePurebloodPrat

(21/21 I 99,128 I Explicit I Sterek)

Derek Hale knows he as a problem. Contrary to what some might believe, he isn’t stupid. He knows the Jeep has meaning to him, real meaning. The kind of meaning that he doesn’t want to think about, let alone stop and have to analyze. Except… his son keeps pushing him about it, prodding at him, and then before Derek knows it, Stiles is back in Beacon Hills, driving the one thing in the world Derek wishes he never had to set eyes on again. If Derek isn’t careful, he could open himself up to a fall, and that would affect more than just his son but also his own traitorous heart. Because with Stiles back, Derek finally has hope again, and its making him want the things he knows better than to ever crave: a home, a future, a life—love.

One-Sentence Premise: To find the happiness they both crave, a lonely stressed-out single dad and a disillusioned FBI agent must confront their shared past and accept the feelings that have always existed between them.

5, 8 through 13, and 18 + 20 for the Furuba asks!

Woohoo! Thank you for sending this! (ask game here)

5. not at all! I was born in the year of the horse, so maybe that's part of why I felt such a disconnect with Rin at first.

8. I have to go with Chapter 88 (the Cinderella-ish play)! I know I already gave the corresponding episode as my favorite, but it's just SO GOOD! It's hilarious and heartbreaking and has beautiful character moments for much of the main cast. It's almost a credo statement for the series. And Hiroshi's brilliant narration is the cherry on top!

Question 9 answered here | Question 10 answered here

11. Yuchi is my OTP ❤️

12. The fabulous Yukeru writers on Ao3 have me shipping them. Same for the YukiKyo (? what's their ship name?) writers. And I've really come to love some of the rarepairs I'm writing for my longfic Bloom Within Us. I'll put them under a cut down below for those curious.

13. Ooh, this is such a good question! Right now, I think my answer would be Momiji & Kyo because of the series I just finished writing. I have a soft spot for Yuki & Kakeru, of course, and Yuki & Haru, as well as Tohru & Arisa & Saki. I also really enjoy Kyo's sibling-esque dynamic with Arisa.

18. Ok, to combine 18 and 20, here are two hot takes that sort of deal with character headcanons. Let me know if you want to hear headcanons for someone else, or more fleshed out hc for these characters.

I think my hottest take is that Tohru needed Kyo more than he needed her. I don't think she had anyone she let her walls down for beyond him; not even her best friends. Kyo at least had Kazuma, and he was pretty candid with Momiji, too. Tohru regularly refused to let people take care of her (except for Kyo), and she would've been trapped in her grief & unable to move forward without him. Kyo would've struggled, and he may not have survived, but while they both would've had friends, he would've at least had a loving parent who would've done anything for him.

While Bloom Within Us ultimately has a positive outcome for Kyo after Tohru dies, I've been thinking about writing a sort of companion piece where Kyo dies and Tohru has to grieve him. I believe that would be a much sadder story, especially with the timing related to her processing her grief for her mother and choosing to move forward with Kyo. We saw in the hospital arc how hard of a time she was having just thinking he rejected her. She'd also struggle with how the other cursed Sohmas - some of her dearest friends - treated/viewed him, and that might create a rift between her and her new found family. If he disappeared, I just don't think she'd be able to cope.

It's also probably a hot take that Shigure only gets as much hate as he does because a) people take aspects of the manga seriously that Takaya never intended us to take seriously (like his "high school girls" song. Creepy, yes, but that's a Takaya problem, not a Shigure problem.) and b) he's so full of self-loathing that he says he's not "kind" and "the worst kind of man" and people take him seriously for some reason. If you actually look at his "unkind" actions, they consist of a) speaking honestly and directly to Akito without first fawning over her, b) actually trying to break the curse (sure, he and Hatori and others refer to it as "using" Tohru, but the way he was "using" her was to try and help the younger Zodiacs form strong bonds outside the curse and to house a lonely, homeless teen), and c) sometimes asking insensitive questions or speaking uncomfortable truths. And yes, he was cold to Mayu, and yes, he slept with Ren (which is maybe the most bananas thing that happens in Furuba), and yes, he fucks with people for his entertainment (especially Mitsuru and Mayu, though, again, Takaya signals we're not supposed to take that seriously). But then we see him trying to cheer Hatori up by bringing him to the lake house, or giving Kyo guidance (and a place to live) from the day he appears, or removing Yuki from Akito's abuse, or using his cunning to get Tohru to relax and have fun, or at least stop stressing so much.

I truly think his speech about kindness came from self-hatred and not from some deeply-held belief about the meaninglessness of things like kindness. I think his speech about being the worst kind of man was again from self-loathing and not something he was proud of. And when he provoked Tohru about Kyo, I also think that was borne of his self-loathing and guilt over how the Zodiac viewed the cat.

Anyway, I know you aren't a Shigure hater, so this probably isn't terribly controversial to you. 😅

Oh, also, I read Arisa as straight. She totally gives me queer vibes, but the fact that she likes Kureno because he reminds her of Tohru, yet she doesn't like Tohru that way... I see that as confirming her straightness, tbh. (I still love AUs where she and Saki are together! They're cute!)

Rarepairs in Bloom Within Us below the cut! (These could be read as answers to 18/20, too!)

Yusuke and Kagura get together in chapter 32, and Hiroshi and Momiji finally get together in chapter 67. In Bloom Within Us, mourners sort of converge around Kyo due to his closeness to Tohru and help him through his initial grieving period. This leads to a situation where Kyo kind of slowly becomes the center of the Sohma family, hosting regular group dinners at the dojo and becoming close (to a degree) with all the formerly cursed Sohmas. Since he always was close with Momiji and Kagura, it made sense to me that he might connect them with Hiroshi and Yusuke. I don't give Yusuke and Kagura a lot of focus, but Hiroshi is basically the second protagonist of my story, and the relationship between him and Momiji (and Hiroshi's development to be ready for a relationship with Momiji) is one of the most important subplots. I've really grown to love them, and might write some more content with them just because I adore them so much. (And Yusuke and Kagura are cute together! But I'm not really interested in exploring them any more.)

I haven't written the chapter where Kyo and Saki get together, but yeah, Kyo ends up with Saki.

I always read Saki as having repressed romantic feelings for Tohru. Due to her extreme loyalty and her powerful wave-reading abilities, I think she'd catch Tohru's message to Kyo (to keep moving forward) and ensure she passed it on first opportunity, thus saving his life. And I think Kyo, with his people skills and unfortunate familiarity with grief, would be the one to figure out how Saki felt about Tohru.

In my story, Kyo has to first decide to live. Once he truly does that, he starts pursuing a future as a karate instructor, realizes blaming himself for everything only hurts the people who care about him, and finally decides to allow himself to fall in love again. He's already in love with Saki by this point, and has been for a while, but he's a dumbass about love and it takes him a while longer to realize how he feels, and even longer to decide to do anything about it.

I think it's possible to read Kyo and Saki as having sexual tension in canon. That plus them playing the prince and Cinderella in Cinderella-ish makes them a fun couple to explore.

Anyway, I think there's a strong case these couples would get together in a universe where Tohru dies, but not in any other universe.

Thank you for asking! This was fun!

[powerpolyculeshowdown]

You said I could rambles about Rexanidala @ you so here we are, i hope you won't regret your choice ❤️

OKAY SO FIRST OF ALL you have the characters aka the canon couple (Anakin Skywalker & Padmé Amidala that i think most people know at least from names?) and then you have Rex aka Captain Rex aka Anakin's right hand man during the Clones Wars and LISTEN in general i love their relationship but if you add poly to it??? -chefkiss-

Like listen you have one of the most powerful Jedi, one of the most badass & kindest Senator & one of the best Clones Officer around there, you put them in a room together, and they lost all their braincell and something ends up in fire. There's so much raw chaos in them. They're so competent but they forget everything when you put them together. They just go and cause so many problem, they're probably the reason why Mace Windu decided to stay bald and why Obi-Wan Kenobi ended up grey that young.

Various exemple of their chaotic energy: the very classic "someone is trying to assassinate me so I'm gonna go into the lion's den and almost get killed, i mean i did take my Jedi bodyguard with me after all—" from one Padmé Amidala; "one of my friends got killed so I'm gonna resolve his murder even if it's not my job" from the same Padmé Amidala; "imma gonna crash this ship on the enemies bc why not" by Anakin Skywalker (self-proclamed best pilot of the Galaxy); "imma gonna give my lightsaber to my very secret wife to prove to her how much i love her and oooops there's a hostage situation and i don't have my weapon anymore" by, again, Anakin; "I'm gonna shot point blank at a clone bc he was acting suspicious and I'm not telling anyone and especially not my superior officer why i did that — hey look it was a droid i was right lol" by Rex; "you know what since droids want to pretend they're us I'm gonna pretend I'm a droid in clone armor" by Rex AGAIN; and, obviously, the whole "Padmé & Anakin are married but it's a secret so obviously we're gonna kiss everywhere, give lovesick at each other all the time, acting all lovey-dovey and/or jealous when with each other, to the point that even our enemies know we have something going on", to the "Rex for some reasons knows about their relationship and is trying to cover for them but he's really not any better than them in the art of lying and/or pretending he has no idea what's going on". They're disasters and i love them <3

ALSO Re: the last part, there's a whole scene where 1) Anakin is like "hey Rex come on we have something to do -wink wink wink-" IN FRONT OF SOME OF THEIR MEN 2) Rex is like "srly, rn now??" And Anakin insists and i swear when you watch this scene without context........ so gay 3) Anakin uses Rex's helmet to call Padmé "in secret" (re: they're so bad at keeping it a secret) and Rex is keeping guard 4) while they are talking, and despite the fact that they haven't seen each other in months and haven't been able to talk to each other a lot, Anakin asks advices to Padmé bc he's worried about Rex and wants to help him 4) Padmé knows Rex & the way he think enough to reassure Anakin and she's also worried about Rex but trusts him 5) LISTEN THEY'RE IN LOVE I DON'T MAKE THE RULES.

Anakin/Padmé is pretty much established but it's like,,,, so easy to add Rex to their couple??? Like, ofc Anakin is close with him, he's his most trusted man and his right hand man!! He knows him & cares for him & trusts him everything and everyone he hold dear!!! But also Rex & Padmé bonded in their own way!! Like, mainly, they got infected by a dead virus together and almost died, which, u know, is always a good way to bond with your future wife <3 And they're obviously friends!! And i absolutely believe they team-up to stop Anakin from doing his most stupid ideas lmao (at least when it's not their brand of chaos and thus they enable him ofc).

ALSO there's Ahsoka!!! She's Anakin's Padawan so obviously she's close to him, and bc she goes to war with him she's also close to Rex (and the rest of their men, tbh it always kills me a little how they all care for each other)!! He gives her advices and takes care of her and supports her!!! And they obviously love each other a lot!!! Rex's love for Ahsoka literally saved her life during Order 66 idkdjdj I'm so normal about it. BUT ALSO she's close to Padmé!!! Padmé is her friend!! She follows Padmé on stupid mission she decided to do herself and uses as justification "Anakin told me to stay with her to learn politic :D" kdjdjdjdj anyway she's at the same time their little sister and their kid and i LOVE IT.

Also there's so much angst potential. Like, Rex survived the end of the war but neither did Anakin nor Padmé. Rex didn't know Luke & Leia were their children. He was robbed of his kids' whole life!!! Rex didn't know about Anakin being Darth Vader either!! (He had a suspicion but no real answer.) How do you want me to be normal about it???

And in a Palpatine-slips-on-a-banana-peel-and-dies au, they can just raise the twins together and they would be even more chaotic that they already are in canon <3 but also i think they deserve it. As a treat.

Anyway i love them so much and we're like five out there shipping them but IT'S FINE. MY LIVE WILL NOT DIE.

thank you <3

Thank you so luch for rambling @ me about ur blorbos i love when ppl are sonpassionate about stuff they love

[jerzwriter]

Dani! Just so you know, the way you describe my comments impacting you, yours have the exact same impact on me. ❤️

It's so funny because when I think of the story, it's hard to reconcile that the best and worst events of Zoe's life (to date) happened at the same time. Escaping the tower, attaining freedom, and meeting Eli... but she lost her sister on the same day. And while she gained freedom, with it also came vast responsibility and the unknown. So there has to be internal conflict. It will probably take her a very long time to reconcile these things.

Eli does seem so wise here, doesn't he? I feel it's a combination of truly hearing (not just listening) what he was taught by his parents and the things Zoe told him when they met. You're right, she was there for him, and now he can take that knowledge and help her. Isn't that the ultimate relationship dynamic? When one is down, the other can lift them, and vice versa. That's so important, and they are on the path to having that together.

When I think of Zoe and Eli, I think of survivor's guilt. How can they not have it? I don't think it's anything that will ever truly go away, but it can be managed, it can lessen, and they can work on that together.

I like that you appreciated that Zoe got mad at Troy and Eli for putting themselves in danger. lol I just think that's an honest reaction. I can see the two of them out and about, Eli saying, "Hey, I don't think we're far from my cabin." And you know that once Troy knows Eli is willing (wanting?) to go, he's going to be all, "LET'S DO IT." I have not covered Zoe and Troy's relationship yet, but she loves him dearly as well. In my world, he's a best friend, a brother. The thought of losing him or Eli is almost unbearable, to lose them both... if they would have died... she would bring them back to life to kill them herself. lol The poor dear has her work cut out for her.

Thank you again for your thoughtful comments, and I am so glad you enjoyed the story! 💕

CHARACTERS BELONG TO PIXELBERRY STUDIOS.

It had been one of the best nights of her life. At least of the nights she could remember. It was possible that another had topped it, but if so, it would have been before the world changed, taking every semblance of safety and normalcy along with it. She didn’t have much recollection of that time, back when she shared a home with Ana and their two loving fathers. But the memories she had were warm and full of love… just like tonight. She moved to the stairs some time ago, quietly observing to take in the scene. 

Her once timid friend Shannon may have had too much of that homemade wine. Nevertheless, she was beaming. Flitting around the dancefloor and making sure everyone joined in. The children of Olympus had determined that Angel was their favorite person that night. While she pretended that it was an annoyance, Zoe knew better. That laughter that echoed down the hall and the smile on her face could only come from someone truly happy, finding companionship after a lifetime alone. Troy… well, Troy was Troy. Happy, laughing, the life of the party itself, but even he had changed. His sarcastic charm and wit were ever present, but he was different, in a better way. And then there was Eli. While most of the children had commandeered Angel, Maya had decided Eli was hers for the night. Zoe had been confident that his patience would have worn thin hours ago, yet there he sat next to Maya’s stuffed animal as the young girl fed them cookies and read them a “bedtime story.”

Zoe’s hand covered her chest, wondering if her heart could burst from so much joy, but then again, not everything had changed for the better. She quietly snuck outside while no one was watching. Alone on the deck, she listened to the silence as she gazed at the bucolic setting surrounding them. She made a mental note to thank Troy for what seemed like a ludicrous idea less than a year ago. Who knew that the dreaded Red Meadows would be their home, and who knew that the young woman who needed a sweater when it was seventy degrees would find that winter was her favorite season of all.

It wasn’t the billowing snow that covered every surface, blanketing a horrid world in a sort of peace she never knew. It wasn’t how it glowed like an enchanted forest in the moonlight. It would be easy to assume it was because most zombies were in hibernation this time of year. Having that burden lifted did usher in a relief she couldn’t express. But none of these things were the reason why. It was something… more.  

A warm glow emitted from inside, beckoning her to take another peek. The residents of the new colony were having a desperately needed night of levity. Each had endured losses and horrors that the minds of previous generations could not have conceived. But tonight, they ate, drank, conversed, played games, and, most importantly, they laughed and knew how it felt to be surrounded by love. In this ragtag group, Zoe had found something she had been longing for her entire life without even knowing what it was. She found a home.

Tears welled in her eyes, and she was unsure if they were born of sadness or joy. This was the best her life had ever been in almost every way. Yet, her heart ached for what was lost. As grateful as she was, the joy she held in her heart was tempered because the one person who enabled her to lead this life was no longer there.

Lowering her head, she took in a deep breath of the crisp winter air. She didn’t mind how it assaulted her lungs; she deserved to have some pain. That’s what she believed, for she was reaping the rewards her sister didn’t live to see. She was about to surrender to the darkness that never seemed too far away. The torrent of tears building inside her was about to overflow when a strong arm gently encircled her waist and pulled her near. 

Neither words nor sight was needed; she knew who it was. She knew his scent, the sound of his breath, and the gentle bliss his touch brought to her heart. Each day was a gift in their world, and tomorrow was unpromised. She knew their happiness was on borrowed time, so she memorized everything. Every sound, feeling, and caress was cataloged in her memory. For if the day were to come when they could no longer be together, that’s what she’d have to rely on because letting him go would never be an option.

“I knew I find you here,” he whispered. “Why are you out in the cold?”

“I’m so happy,” she said with a broken voice, “… and I’m so sad.”

He rested his chin on her shoulder, and she welcomed the warmth of lips on her icy cheek. He had come to know her so well, and now his presence was needed most of all.

“You can talk to me if you want,” he muttered in her ear.

“I know… I…” she started, but the words wouldn’t come.

“But you don’t have to,” he smiled, pulling her under his arm.

“Tonight was amazing, Eli, because of you.”

The snort that escaped him confirmed that he didn’t agree. “Hardly!” He scoffed. “This was a group effort, and you were a big part of that group.”

“It was your idea,” she said with a shake of her head. “You and the others came up with it that day at the amusement park.”

“Yeah, but some of us are more talk than action. You make sure that we see things through.”

“Hmmm, you give me too much credit.”

“Yeah, well, turnaround is fair play,” he smiled, and with that, most of her sadness disappeared. “You’re guilty of doing that with me.”

“But when it comes to you, it’s accurate.”

“That’s your opinion,” he stated, spinning her around to face him. “Why don’t we go inside? You’re freezing, and most have gone to bed, so we’ll be alone. We can talk if you want.”

“I do,” she said, slipping her freezing hand into his. “Let’s go.”

~~~~~

He placed a blanket over her when she sunk into the couch, then stepped away to get her a warm drink, but she pulled him near.

“No. Just stay with me.”

“Sure,” he replied, taking the spot next to her.

“I feel guilty,” she whispered so low he almost didn’t hear.

“For what?”

“For being alive… for being here… having this beautiful night,” she lifted her head to look into his eyes, as hers brimmed with tears, “for having you.”

Eli’s expression softened, and words were unnecessary to express how much he understood. He raised a calloused thumb to her cheek, stroking soft circles against her skin.

“I get it, but a wise woman once told me that our loved ones who had passed would want us to find happiness in whatever time we have left. I didn’t always believe that, but she made me see she was right.”

“Throwing my words back at me, Eli?” she smirked.

“What? Do you think you’re the only wise woman I’ve ever known?” He grinned as she nuzzled against his chest.

“Oh, I keep forgetting you were Mr. Social Butterfuly before I came along,” she teased. 

“I know you miss Ana. I miss my family, too, every day. But I’m grateful for the people I have in my life, you most of all. I know that’s what they’d want for me. I know they’re happy I’ve found this. I only got to meet Ana once, but in that little time, I know she’d feel the same way for you.”

“She would,” Zoe smiled. “Sometimes I feel like it’s my obligation to be happy… or all her sacrifices weren’t worthwhile.”

“You should take happiness where you can find it. But you need to be true to what you’re feeling, and you’re allowed to be sad, too.”  

Zoe sat up and faced him; much of the pain present on her face had melted away. 

“I know. But I want to be happy. Tonight was magical. It almost felt like a scene in one of those Christmas movies from the Old World that Troy plays.”

“That’s what we were aiming for.”

“We succeed,” she beamed, her face aglow from the firelight. He wasn’t sure if she had ever looked more beautiful.

“We did,” he smiled, caressing her hand. “We did good. But… the night is not over.”

“It’s not?”

“No. I have a present for you.”

“Eli! We mentioned exchanging gifts at first, but then we agreed we’d save gifts for the next time. It would be too difficult to….”

“Fortunately, I ignored that,” he smirked as he retrieved a small bag from the back of a shelf. “Because I noticed you had a package with my name in your closet after I got this.”

“Snooping?” She mocked.

“No! Getting you a blanket for the five-hundredth time.”

Zoe narrowed her eyes as she got the package hid in a rarely used desk in the corner. Looking almost bashful, she returned to the seat next to him.

“So how do we do this? I’ve never exchanged gifts before. I know in the movies it’s usually a big chaotic scene where no one knows what they’re opening….”

“That never seemed appealing.”

“I’m glad you agree,” she smiled. “So, you open mine, and then I’ll open yours?”

“We can do that,” he said, accepting the gift wrapped in an old t-shirt from her hands.

A shocked expression registered on his face as he stared at the drawing Zoe had created for him. His body trembled gently as he looked at her, then back to the drawing again.

“Is this,” he swallowed, taking a moment before speaking again. “Is this… my family?”

“That’s what I wanted it to be. I never got to see them, but I really listen when you talk, and this is how I imagine them… I hope I got it….”

The wind escaped her when Eli grabbed her in his arms, pulling her tightly against his chest. Her sweater and hair absorbed his tears as his face nuzzled in her shoulder. He looked at the picture again, and a soft sob escaped him. “It’s remarkable how much it looks like them…. it’s like you knew them. I don’t even know what to….”

“Shhh,” she cradled him close against her chest, kissing softly atop his head. “You don’t have to say anything, Eli. I’m just happy you like it.”

“I love it,” he whispered, wiping away a tear. “Thank you.”

They sat in comfortable silence for several moments. Eli never took his eyes off his gift, and by the time he looked back at Zoe, he appeared more at peace than she had seen him in some time.

“I almost forgot. I have something for you, too.”

He placed the small burlap bag on her lap, gently leaving his hand on her knee as she opened it. She took out a small stack of worn books tied together with a red ribbon. 

“Before you open it,” he interrupted. “I know you love to read, and there are two things you always seem to want to know more about…the old world and me… so I think you’ll like this.”

He watched her intently, her eyes wide with wonder as she turned the tattered pages, each covered with writing in beautiful penmanship.

“Eli… are these journals?”

“They are,” he whispered. “They were my mother’s.”

Zoe reflexively dropped the books to her lap, her hands reaching up to cover her mouth. “No!” she gasped, tears already rolling down her cheeks. “That’s impossible…. How?”

“Troy and I were scavenging one day, and I realized we weren’t all that far from my old cabin….”

“Eli!” She wailed. “You went back there! It’s too dangerous and too close to The Tower! And you two went alone!”

“This is why I didn’t tell you,” he chuckled nervously, “but Troy and I….”

“Troy!” she interrupted, “I’m going to kill him! I’m going to kill you! If anything would have happened, I would….”

“Zoe,” he said, steadying her in his arms. “Nothing happened. I’m here.”

“It must have been so hard on you… to be there. If you insisted on going, why didn’t you tell me? I would have come….”

“It wasn’t planned. It’s just one of those things. And, no, it wasn’t easy… but it was better than I would have thought. The place was pretty picked over, and most of our stuff was gone. But Mom kept these hidden under a footboard in her room… I can’t tell you how happy I was to find them. I was going to show you the second we got back, but… then I realized these would make the perfect gift for you.”

“For me,” she breathed, as her hand covered her heart. “Eli, I’ve never been more honored, but I… I can’t accept these. These belong to you, and no one but you, I couldn’t imagine….”

Eli placed his hand atop hers, trembling on her lap. 

“If they’re with you, they’ll be with me. Because if I have one or twenty-thousand days left, I’m spending them at your side.”

Zoe fell into his arms, not worried that her crying might wake the others; after all, they were the only two people in the world. 

“I love you, Eli Sipes,” she cried into his shoulder. “I love you so much, and… I don’t care what world it’s in, I don’t care what wealth anyone could have… no one could ever give me anything this precious.”

Pulling back, he gazed into her eyes. The pain, sorrow, and tragedy she had endured were all present, but they were obscured, hiding behind the love and wonder they held whenever she looked at him.

“You gave me a reason to be alive again, not survive, but live… who knew that troublemaking pain in the ass that came onto my property….”

Zoe laughed nervously through her tears, “The one you nearly killed?”

“I’ve apologized,” he grinned. “I hope you get to know my Mom a little when you read these. And maybe you’ll get to know me better, too. She wrote about conversations we used to have. In one, she told me how she still held out hope that I’d find happiness one day, even in this world. I didn’t believe it at all… but as usual, she was right… you’ve brought that to me. You’re the most precious gift, Zoe. I’m just glad we found each other.”

“Eli, I’m going to read every word, I promise, and the memory of this night will always be among the happiest in my life.”

“Good. But I never want to stop making memories with you.”

“Neither do I. Is this where we’re supposed to say Merry Christmas?”

“We could,” he smiled.  “Or we can make up something of our own.”

“How about I just say I love you.”

“I like that.  I love you, too.”

A/N 2: Someone recently asked me if Eli ever found his mother’s journals, so it got me thinking… I thought this was a great way for it to go. If you wish to learn more about them, you can find i for here:

God of Charm - Part 2

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

A/N: Once again a short scene turned into a long one. 🙈😂 So instead of part 2 being monstrously big, I've split it into two parts. Now I just need to write the other part. 🤦 (You can find the link for the first part here.)

Warning: this does contain approximately one spoiler for the end of Kollok: Council of the Gods.

Anyway, I hope this is actually good because I currently have covid, it sucks and sometimes my brain is a little hazy.

Enjoy! ❤️

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

You stand at the edge of the platform where Night and Day are sitting, apprehensively waiting your turn to address the crowd and vote on Phobos. Night had already spoken to you earlier trying to gauge how you were voting, you'd managed to evade the question with vague answers but the truth was you still weren't sure what you were planning on doing.

You scan through the crowd briefly, your eyes quickly settling on Charm. He tips his glass to you, lips smirking slightly but there was something different in his eyes now, a hint of warmth and affection meant only for you. You nod back with your own small smile, quickly looking away as you hear your name announced. The chattering in the room dies down as you step forward. Your vote might not count for just as much as some of the other celestial beings in the room but it was worth enough that Night had leaned forward, dark eyes staring at you intently as if he's trying to will you into agreeing with him. You clear your throat and begin to speak.

"It's so nice to see almost everyone again, its been far too long". There's a pause as the crowd calls out cheers and greetings before quieting down again. "Phobos potentially being released is a very serious issue and the decision either way should not be taken lightly. I've thought about it long and hard. I've also taken some advice on board regarding the matter and yet..." You sigh, eyes briefly meeting Charm's again as he gives you a nod of encouragement. "I still can't decide either way. I really don't know what the best course of action is so I'm abstaining from voting and letting the chips fall where they may". No one hears you mutter 'excuse me' as chaos erupts in the room. There's voices coming from all sides, some accepting your decision and some disagreeing. You deliberately don't look at Charm as you leave, knowing he wouldn't be happy with what you just said.

However as you turn to leave a large hand grabs your wrist, you assume it is Charm at first until Night starts talking.

"Art, my dear, we've worked together a long time. I think you should reconsider your position on Phobos, I'd hate for something to happen to you because of it".

You try to pull your wrist free but his grip is too strong.

"Is that threat, darling Night?" Your voice drips with the same sarcastic tone he had just used.

"Oh no no no, not at all. Merely an observation". Night let's go of your wrist suddenly, you follow his eye line over your shoulder to see Charm walking very purposefully over.

"Ah Charm, my old friend! Art and I were ju-"

"-She's made her decision Night". Then he does something that no one expected, Charm wraps his arms around your waist pulling you in close to him. "I think we're done here for tonight. You got what you wanted and I..." His other hand comes up to cup your cheek for a second before moving back down to his side. "Also got what I wanted. Everybody wins, right?" He smiles at the other man but it doesn't quite meet his eyes. It was both a warning not to push the issue further and a public statement of his affection for you. For once in his life Charm had done something that didn't benefit himself, it wasn't to make someone else happy. If anything it probably pissed Night off but he didn't care. The way you were looking up at him made it all worth it.

Night looks between you both before giving a fake friendly laugh, bowing a little.

"You're absolutely right, Phobos will be given a second chance and that is what's most important. Do forgive me dear Art, this gathering tonight has been stressful to say the least. So". He holds out his hand for you to shake. You're tempted to ignore it and move on but you feel Charm's hand lightly squeeze your waist, giving you the encouragement you need to be nice and cordial. Night's large hand dwarfs your own smaller one slightly as you begrudgingly shake his hand whilst giving him a small smile of your own.

"Now that we're all friends again I'm afraid I must least at once, night time beckons. I'll see you there Art". Night gives you another smile that doesn't quite meet his eyes before leaving.

"Are you going to be okay with him tonight?" Charm asks, kissing the top of your head. Your struggle for words, flushing as you see the other Gods and Goddesses watching on their way past the both of you, curious as to what exactly what was happening but smart enough to keep back. Guilt gives you a dark look as she passed but you ignore her, you weren't about to let her power work on you and ruin whatever this was.

"I um...yeah". You clear your throat in an attempt to kick start your brain. "Yes, I will be absolutely fine. Thank you for, you know, stepping in...this isn't the first time Night's been mad at me over a difference in opinion. I can handle it".

Charm gives you a long searching look before nodding, seemingly satisfied by whatever conclusion he had drawn in his own mind. He let's go of your waist, taking hold of your hand instead and presses his lips to the back of it for a moment.

"Until later then, I'll be waiting". Charm smirks, raising his eyebrows in a suggestive manner, the door he calls for arriving quickly. He gives you one last meaningful look and leaves.

This was going to be a long long night.

Blackpool Polycule want another son together ❤️❤️ Dante baby come join the fam!! Matt basically said Dante needs a loving and peaceful life not one full of violence. Bryan says he loves peace and violence and that their first son is thriving in the violent but loving atmosphere of the polycule sooooo.... Matt is invalid as fuck and he will steal Dante!!! 😡 Added that last part myself that didn't really happen but like it could... So!!

WILLIAM REGAL ON COMMENTARY AHHHHHHH

Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley vs Matt Sydal and Dante Martin: This was my brothers match of the night and that's totally valid cause it was fucking phenomenal. DANTE IN BLACKPOOL POLYCULE WHEN??!? I was on the edge of my sit all fucking match!! Ok ok ok so where we were sitting I had the best view on Mox back and y'all all know I'm a slut for that man's back 🥵🥵 also heel Bryan is beloved and I would let him do sadistic things... These were my internal thoughts as I was trying not to be a fucking menace in front of my bro, but like I should've cause he was practically begging for Hookhausen all night ... Anyways back to the match!! Air Dante is my fave Dante 😱😱😱 MOX UNALIVED MATT HOLY FUCK!!! BRYAN AND MOX WANT THIS CHILD SO BAD THEY'RE BEATING THE SHIT OUT MATT FOR HIM. We knew BCC would win but damn did we think Dante had the win at some points. You could 100% see that Dante got Bryan's Respect and Bryan was basically drafting the adoption papers in his head!!

Hopefully we see a knew BCC member soon or maybe not idk but I would love to see Dante in BCC since we couldn't get Daniel Garcia cause Jericho wanted him 🙄 .

Post match brawl OH MY GOD REGAL WAS FUCKING SHIT UP YOU GO KING!!! I WAS TOTALLY REACTING NORMAL TO THAT DEFINITELY NOT SCREAMING MY LUNGS OUT NOOO NEVER!! Eddie beloved he was fucking everyone up, my brother said and I quote "Eddie fights like he has actual real life beef with you" and that's so vaild cause he truly fights like his life depends on it. So much happened in this segment holy fuck it was exquisite!! 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Ok so Bryan's leg got stuck between the ramp and the ring during the brawl. Which TK needs to now abandon the whole ring and ramp connection cause they were trying to get him unstuck for like 10 minutes. Bryan looked like he was in a lot of pain and at first we thought it was part of the story, but Mox was pretty heated about it so... Once they finally got him unstuck, by pushing the ring away, Bryan got up and put his hands out to us to signal he was okay, which was relieving!!! He did limp away though and they continued the story as best as they could.... I don't know how much of this will be on tv since it was after the main event, so I wanted to fully recap it for y'all. I hope Bryan is okay and I'm sending him healing vibes ❤️❤️ !!

STUFF THAT HAPPENED BETWEEN SHOW BREAKS... KINDA IN ORDER... KINDA NOT...

Justin does not get enough credit for keeping the crowd into the show during the commercial breaks and show changes!!

This is my official I appreciate Justin Roberts statement cause I appreciate Justin Roberts!!! ❤️

Houston adored one of the I believe security or backstage people, his name was Bob ❤️ we love Bob and claimed him as ours! During breaks Justin had lots of fun with the crowd and Bob, Bob and his son Bob Jr also had a match... A best of 3 rock paper scissors match BOB WON AND IT WAS AWESOME!!

BOB CHANTS HOUSTON LOVES BOB ❤️

TK HAS BEEN SO ADORABLY AWKWARD AND I NEED HIM TO STOP BECAUSE I REFUSE TO FEEL THINGS FOR HIM I REFUSE I FUCKING REFUSE

The Lord and savior Antony Khan himself came out and was really cute and sweet nice and thanked us for being there. He also said he doesn't come out after every show but he had to cause we were being an awesome crowd 😂 TK babe we've seen the post show videos it's okay to admit you come out to thank the crowd!!! He said he loved the Houston energy and can't wait to be back again to deliver our great wrestling city more amazing wrestling!! Also went down a list of iconic wrestling matches that happened in Houston, that man is an actual wrestling sponge. I don't know how he remembers all of that shit but he does!!

King if you love us so much give us a PPV we proved tonight we would adore it, it was a packed crowd start to finish and the energy was electric TK... Love... Babe.... Antony... Give Houston a PPV soon... K that is all love you ❤️

THE ACCLAIMED AND THE ASS BOYS CAME OUT JUST BEFORE RAMPAGE STARTED

I've lived to see a Max Caster rap life is truly soooo fucking great byeeee I have a vid of his rap but my ugly ass voice is in the background 🙄

Austin and Colton mistaked us for Austin then Dallas and then Mr Ass himself Billy got it right also no Bowens which was 💔 but I've seen that his boyfriend confirmed that he had knee surgery so sending healing vibes and prayers to him!!! ❤️❤️

I adore the acclaimed and the Ass Boys ok ok ok

My brother was disappointed we didn't get to see Hookhausen and I was too... So when the Ass Boys came after Rampage to call out Danhausen for starting the Ass Boys stuff. WE FUCKING ACTED A WHOLE ASS FOOL FOR THIS STRAIGHT UP JUMPING UP AND DOWN SCREAMING FOR HOOKHAUSEN

They were ganging up on Danhausen CM PUNK CAME OUT AHHHHHHH THEN HOOOOOOOOK CAME OUT AHHHHHHHHHH they did their thing with the Ass Boys. Punk did GTS on Austin and Hook put Colton in Redrum which as they should cause no one hurts Danhausen and gets away with it!!! OH MY GOD CM PUNK EMPTIED OUT HIS WALLET FOR DANHAUSEN TO HAVE LOTS OF MONIES AND HOOK WANTED DANHAUSEN TO SHARE AND HE DID GIVE HOOK SOME OF HIS MONIES !!!!!!!! We lost our shit for that by the way like completely fucking lost our shit

FINAL THOUGHTS

And that was all babes overall 10000/10 experience holy fuck what a show start to finish god damn my ass was THRIVING the energy was IMMACULATE!! I truly can't wait for the next Houston show!! Also for this being my first ever wrestling show it was truly the greatest time ever and my brother had the best time. We talked all day about wrestling and like wow wow wow do we fucking ramble for hours! Also I do not have a voice after tonight. Wrestling social media is a toxic ass place, but actually being in the arena with wrestling fans is a special experience I promise you that babes!!! If aew is in your city 100% recommend you go!! Okkk I love y'all byeeee 💕💕 !!!

[askteacupfollie]

Hello! Sooo i just read a coment about one thing and i dunno if you would like to answer but, what’s that about the religious trauma?? Did something happend in the past with it?? And also how’s everything?? You doing good??

(Btw; your art is amazing and so does the story, keep going like this!!❤️❤️)

Mod- Oh yeah! Sure I'll talk about it! But is a LONG one so I'll put it under the cut. (TLDR religion is the reason I hate myself) I'm happy you like my art and story! I hope I can keep it to everyone's standers!

It's really a mix of how I was raised and body dysphoria. I was raised as a Baptist Christian as well as a girl for all of my childhood. Growing up I was always told that God had a plan for me and that he loves me unconditionally. I did not have the best childhood btw, at a very young age I was constantly introduced to being poor, racism, capitalism, generational depression, mental illness, learning disabilities going untreated, horrific gender roles from the 80's and 90's, and death. I knew about death and its toll on people before I even knew my own birthday. But my father always made sure that I knew that this was God's plan for me, all of these bad things we're going help me somehow in the future. It never made sense to me but my dad was there and that's all I really needed to be comforted.

Then in 2012 I lost my father. We were so close and so much alike. My dad was on disability check and couldn't work due to his health so when I was born he practically raised me. He was the only one to notice that I wasn't a "normal" little girl and embraced my boyish nature. He bought me boy clothes, let me play in the mud, be roughty, and he was the only person who knew on how I thought. He encouraged my artistic wants of learning to draw and paint as well as my need to understand how the world worked scientifically. He was my best friend. When he died I was so taken aback. The only person who knew the actual me was gone.

As he was being buried I burst into tears, not for the lost but at the not understanding why. Why was he gone? Why had God taken him from me? I was only 15, two months from going into high school, this was THE time I would need someone who new how I worked to teach me how to express emotions right, how to keep on task for homework, someone to help with projects, ideas, and just plain someone to talk to. It never made sense. If god loved me, then why do all these bad horrible things keep happening to me and my family? Not even a few months later I lost all of my grandparents, several great uncles that I was close to, and several cats and kittens.

If god loved me, truly loved me, then why would he keep me in a continuous bought of pain and suffering? For the betterment of me? If its for the betterment of me then that means there must have been something wrong with me. That must mean god thinks who I am and who I was meant to be was wrong. And this is the punishment for it! But that didn't make sense either, because god was suppose to love me unconditionally. Even if I was "wrong". This thinking brought up the conclusions that either there is no god, or I deserved all of this punishment, I was the reason my family was suffering, I was the reason god took away my father.

And so I lived with this thought all throughout my teen years and my early 20's. I lived though the punishment because it was what I deserved. I deserved to live unhappy, to be stalked, to be treated as an object, to be ignored, to be sick, to be failing my classes... to be raped... I lived with this trauma my whole life until almost 4 years now, when I realized I was a man. My therapist told me bad things just happen sometimes. Even to good people. My therapist helped me realize that I was not a bad person, I did not deserve these horrible things happening to me nor was it my fault. I am a good person that unfortunate thing happen to.

I'm doing much better now, I got my depression under control, I'm taking hormone treatments, and I'm gaining friends who see and notice me. As for my religious view on things I have 3 views on it now.

1- There is no god and we are just here to be here. 2- Deism. 3- He's a sick bastard and to quote the innocent jewish people locked away in WW2 "If there is a god, he will have to beg for my forgiveness."
