Fuck it.
Random Yugioh GX headcanon dump!
I've posted about some of these at various points in the past in more detail but yknow đ
All in no particular order of course, just the order they pop put of my brain lol
Syrus is actually really smart, but school is hard for him because of anxiety
Alexis is the spitting image of her and Atticus's mom
Jesse's favorite song of all time is Our Song by Taylor Swift
They're all varying degrees of Swiftie
Crowler's favorite show is The Golden Girls
Jaden will accidentally burn down the kitchen if they let him try to cook anything
Syrus, Alexis, Atticus, and Zane all knew each other pre-series. Or at the very least knew of each other since Atticus and Zane were already friends.
Syrus is afraid of storms but actually really likes gentle rain
Bastion was always insecure about his skills and needed and craved validation and recognition from others
Chazz has a hard time expressing and understanding emotions and distinguishing different kinds of love and care because his family is so emotionally distant with each other
Chazz and Alexis are platonic soulmates he's just confused by the platonic part. They love each other but are not in love with each other.
On that note, when Chazz is able to finally move on from Alexis, they develope and almost brother/sister relationship
Alexis suffers from separation anxiety and paranoia after Atticus returns because she's so scared of him getting hurt or being taken away from her again
Jaden is so protective of his friends because he didn't have any as a kid after the whole Yubel debacle even though doesn't remember Yubel for a while so he desperately wants to keep the ones he has now at any cost and keep them from getting hurt because people have been hurt because of him Yubel in the past and doesn't want to go through that whole rigamarole again. Also because he just loves his friends, but that's a given.
Syrus has a scar from being bit by the duplicate Camula in episode 32
Chazz has scars from being abused by his brothers. Only Atticus has ever actually seen them.
Hassleberry has chronic pain because of his dinosaur leg that he hides so the others won't worry about him
The J-Squad never told Hassleberry about a lot of stuff that went down in season 1
Atticus is uncomfortable in the dark and has trouble sleeping when he returns so he sleeps with at least one light on every night
Atticus's positive and silly personality and quirks and eccentricities are all genuine and authentic, but they've also become a coping mechanism for his trauma after his return
Hassleberry is a massive Dolly Parton fan
Hassleberry's seen every movie Dolly is in. Steel Magnolias makes him cry every time.
Syrus doodles on stuff in class and like on his notes and homework and stuff. It's something he does to help him focus and think
Bastion actually really likes classic movie musicals. His favorite musical is My Fair Lady
Chazz says that he has a dog at home in the dub, but it's the family dog. He's more of a cat person.
Atticus, Chazz, and Alexis are a Sun, Moon, Star trio respectively.
Hassleberry and Chazz are the biggest hopless romantics, actually
Both Crowler and Alexis's favorite movie is Titanic
Atticus can play any and all stringed instruments. If it has strings, he can play it. But his best instrument is the guitar.
Atticus hosts weekly campfire jam sessions for the J-Squad down at the beach. He pulls out an acoustic and just plays songs for them to sing and have fun together
On that note, every single one of them can sing. All of those kids have vocals for days.
Chazz and Atticus have sleepovers dates every Saturday night where they get together and watch movies. Atticus usually picks and makes Chazz watch musicals and romcoms and chick flicks.
Chazz actually enjoys musicals, especially watching them with Atticus. Hence his quoting Bye Bye Birdie during his duel with Adrian.
Atticus's favorite movie is Singin' In The Rain
Atticus does a lot of dumb shit in attempts to impress Chazz or otherwise get his attention
Syrus takes more after his and Zane's mom, while Zane takes more after their dad. Hence her saying Sy's the one who got the looks đ
Jaden doesn't even know what sexuality means let alone what his is. His sexuality is Jesse.
Jaden's mom is a pianist
Chazz's family is all sooo much older than his is. For example, his brothers are at minimum ten years older than he is.
The worst familial relationship Chazz has is with his brothers. He's his mom's favorite, and he just doesn't really have a relationship with his dad at all. Cold, distant rich old businessman dad yâknow?
Chazz wasn't necessarily an accident, but I don't think they planned on having another kid so long after the first 2 either.
Chazz's brothers manipulate their parents' perception of them and their relationship with Chazz so they don't know how bad things actually are with the three of them
Jaden thinks it's really silly and fun that his and Chazz's birthdays are the bookends of the month of August since they're rivals and stuff
Chazz has naturally cold hands
One time after graduation the kids got Crowler a father's day gift kind of as a joke. But it made him so happy they get him a group gift every year. They got him a world's best dad mug
Everyone crashed the next year's graduation so they could see Hassleberry graduate number 1 in his class đ„ș
That's all for now!
Part 2
#I'm gonna have to make a separate post about all my gx cast swiftie headcanons I have so many of those akksskks#I need to write literally everything down because I know I've forgotten some stuff đ#yugioh gx#ygo gx#ygo gx headcanons#jaden yuki#chazz princeton#atticus rhodes#alexis rhodes#syrus truesdale#bastion misawa#tyranno hassleberry#dr vellian crowler#jesse anderson#zane truesdale#stormshipping#spiritshipping#abby's just rambling don't mind her

For the Ellis & Ivy Prompt bc I love the fact that youâve given more depth to Ellisâ character than what the game givesđ„č I figured iâd take one from each section but you donât have to answer all of âem if you donât want to:
I. #8,
II. #1,
III. #8,
& IV. #9
Ohmygodđđđđ thank you for the kind words! I'm always so afraid that I'm ""ruining"" Ellis or not capturing him correctly, so that was very nice to readđ©· one of my answers got long as hell so they're gonna be under the cut. Thank you so much for sending these it!
Pre-Relationship
7. How do their friends and family feel about them as a couple?
When Ivy Nicole and Ellis first started dating, it became very clear that these two were gonna be a handful. They are both rather energetic, and they enjoy having a good time. Sammy was nervous that they would both encourage each other to get into trouble. The first time, both of them showed up to Mass hungover, Ellis got such an earful. Ivy Nicole was lectured by Father James as well. Both of them "laughed about it" but knew that they really fucked up. They tried not to let that happen again.
Once they started seriously dating, Sammy definitely came around to the two of them. He saw the kind of woman Ivy Nicole was and knew that she wasn't all bad. She just seemed to struggle with doing the right thing. Ellis is similar. They both get impulsive about something, letting their emotions fuel their decisions. Ellis was just expected to be a little better about that. He can be accountable. Ivy Nicole is still learning how to do all that. Father James likes the two of them together. He thinks that, in their own way, they're good for one another. He knows Ivy Nicole's heart and her struggles, and he knows that Ellis will always be understanding. Ivy Nicole has a big heart as well and is looking for anything to help fill it. She's strongly empathetic, and tries hard to give him a space away from everything else, so he can talk about his feelings, thoughts about the future, whatever with her, and not have to worry about anyone judging him or telling him he can't do something.
Now, when it comes to Ivy Nicole's family, it took her a long time to tell them about Ellis. Not because she wanted to hide him from her family. Rather, she wanted to keep him as a safe space for as long as she could. Running away to New Bordeaux was, in her opinion, the best choice she ever made. She loves being there. Loves the people. Loves the community she has been able to find. Ivy Nicole has a very complicated relationship with her family. She has the tendency to think that they'd ruin anything they'd touch. She wanted to keep Ellis, and by extension, Sammy and Father James, away from her family, to keep them safe and whole. To her surprise, her family was very excited about her Ellis. They wanted to meet him and Sammy as soon as they could. Ivy Nicole was nervous about that, nervous her mom and dad would say something about her past, nervous her brothers were going to be too protective. But it went better than she thought it would. Turns out, her parents just want her to be happy. Who would have known? They loved Ellis, and he seemed to get along well with them. Her mother enjoyed talking to Sammy. Her father floated between talking to both Ellis and Sammy and tried to make sure Ivy Nicole's oldest brother acted right. Ivy Nicole was both relieved and disappointed that her favorite brother wasn't able to meet Ellis and Sammy. He was in jail at the time. He never got to meet them. He didnât get out until â69.Â
General
2. Who initiated the relationship, and how did they go about it?
Ooo! Ellis approached her first, but neither initiated the relationship per se. They just kind of realized they were dating. Or they might as well say they're dating because they practically have been for a bit. They were just hanging out in Ellisâ room one evening, and Ivy Nicole just kinda reached over and grabbed his hands and was like âAre we dating? Have we been dating?â And Ellis was like âHoly shit! I guess so!â They both were very happy afterward and smiling at each other like crazy.
Love
8. Do they prefer verbal or physical affection?
Ooo, they love both! I think they think they like physical affection the most, but really, they both love verbal affection. It's easy to touch, but talking doesn't come naturally. So when either of them finally work up the courage to tell the other how much they love and care about the other person, it makes them feel even more âfulfilledâ than they thought it would.
Domestic Life
9. How do they celebrate holidays?
They're not the most traditional people in the world. I think it's important for them to like cover the basics, but I dont think they beat themselves up over following things to a T. They like decorating for the holiday and the actual celebrating of it, but when it comes to the nitty gritty, they do the best they can.

Iâm the anon that sent all those Patreon leaks to lemoncritiques months ago. Iâm no longer a patron but I still have tons of info from past QnAs, this isnât everything so let me know if youâd like me to send more.
Note: These answers are pre-season 2 so it could be dated with whatever Vivzieâs has said after mid-2022 (the time of my latest screenshots) Iâll try and give info I wasnât interested in giving Lemon but it could be a lot of repeats.
-Vivzie didnât mention Mammonâs design to be a middle finger (from what I know) she only mentioned being worried about the reception fans will have towards him since heâs not the usual skinny pretty boy designs she makes.
-Certain demons are allowed to interact with the Earth realm, imps arenât one of them.
-Millie and Loona are confirmed by Vivzie to be straight much to the disappointment of Sam, Adam mentioned theyâre as straight as LGBTQ+ writers can make them.
-Stolas has 71 half siblings in reference to the lesser keys of Solomon, itâs unknown if Andrealphus is one of them but with that amount Vivzie might only show some of them.
-Vivzie is still interested in making her SVA thesis short Timber a full series, and plans for it to be an all age adventure fantasy.
-HB cast ages: Blitz 34, Stolas 36, Loona 23, M&M both 31, Vivzie changed them to be around those ages because she keeps forgetting them sheâs answered this more than once with slightly different answers, M&M are now in their late 20s.
-Vivzie is fine with and even loves fan HH/HB merch, but believes the other studios involved (A24, Bento, or SharkRobot, she was vague) might not because of sale competition.
-Vivzie saids weâll see how Stolasâs status influences his views of other demons and wouldnât treat his imp butlers either good or bad. This was said before heâs seen using one as a stress ball.
-Vivzie didnât really think of how Stolas knew IMP was in trouble in the DHORK episode and likes to imagine he has an innate ability to sense if somethingâs wrong. She wonât go back to explain how he knows.
-Sheâs interested in incorporating elements of other religionâs Hell into her own, but not a full on inclusion.
-Sheâs most excited between Stolas and Blitzâs arcs in the show and admits the arcs intersects a lot. Her personal favorite arc to write is Stolasâs.
-Blitzâs trip in the DHORK episode were about his relationships and how they stem from one insecurity he has which will be revealed later.
-Most challenging character to animate that Vivzie could talk about at the time was Angel Dust, Iâm sure she would have mentioned Bee if that episode was out during this.
-Full quote âVivâs ADHD enables her to bounce around between things a lot, itâs been a blessing because she can bounce between the shows if she gets tired of either. Sometimes it gets overwhelming, causing her to lose focus, and losing sleep, but itâs working in the endâ
-Vivzie didnât know model sheets werenât being posted on Patreon when someone asked about Mrs.Mayberryâs, I have no idea if theyâve even bothered to post any.
-She was keeping Stolas and Stellaâs divorce a secret due to spoilers.
-Originally, season 2 was going to premiere a week after episode 8 came out because she wasnât sure if fans would be satisfied with the finale with the wait time, I saved that ask on May 22nd, 2022. She vaguely mentioned there was a bit of legal trouble regarding episode 8 that she canât talk about but will become apparent when itâs released (We now know it was the Kesha stuff)
-High class/low class demon relationships are very controversial because Hell has a strict power hierarchy. There are some lower level demons that are acceptable to be with a higher class demon. But Imps and Hellhounds are on the very bottom of the hierarchy and are not favorably viewed. (This ask was pre-Episode 8)
-Full quote again. Question: Would you have any advice for artists who are working on multiple projects at the same time?
Answer: âIt's really fucking hard, she's never worked so hard in her life. She admits she's dropped the ball several times. But she finds that the solution to that is to simply get help from other people. Find people you trust and train them on what they need to do.
If it's a smaller scale thing and/or you don't have any body to help, then just take things slowly and do things one at a time because you will absolutely stress yourself out and cause a lot of problems with things not getting done on time.
She has also had issues with things not going the way she wanted because she's not in charge, but ultimately, you gotta trust others.â
-Octavia is on decent terms with Andrealphus.
-Sinners physically cannot go into other rings, Vivzie imagines they canât even enter the 666 elevator building.
-All hellborns have a âferalâ form to themselves.
-Blitz will sing in season 2 (We learned from leaks)
-God will not show up in Vivzieâs shows, she personally doesnât feel comfortable depicting him.
-She enjoys writing at home because she can be as loud as she wants to be. But ever since her and Adam moved in together they havenât have any writing sessions with each other. While writing HB season 1, her and Brandon would go to diners and cafĂ© for their sessions.
-She loves how her antagonists are relatable and can be understood beyond what sheâs shown the audience so far and mentions they wonât be one note, one dimensional like with Stella. âSure, sheâs super angry and bitchy, but st the same time, sheâs still seen some awful things, and deserves some sympathyâ (This was pre-Circus)
-All that Vivzie would like to say is she doesnât talk to Ashley, Dave or Kovach a lot.
-She hasnât worked on Zoophobia in awhile but thinks of going back to it to redefine some things in the future.
-Thereâs a limited number of overlords, there was a comic in the works about how overlords are picked through a âvery funâ event that happens to sinners but due to story changes theyâll have to redo it. Donât know if it was scrapped entirely.
-Stella would still be mad if Stolas cheated on her with another goetia or of higher status but less so than with an imp.
-Vivzie imagines the grimoire can be damaged but not easily.
-Adam has written in an autistic character for season 2, no clue if weâve already seen them or not.
-Most of season 2 will have a single target to take out on IMPâs missions.
-She wants to leave the status of Blitz and Fizzâs past relationship open for now, we might see it in the next episode as of sending this.
-That clown symbol we see in Loo Loo Land is confirmed to be RoboFizz and not Mammon.
-Vivzie canât answer if Heaven, Hell or Earth is the most dangerous realm.
-Full quote: Question- âWhen did she decide to make Helluva its own spin off?
Answer- âShe decided within the last year of making the pilot. Without Helluva, Hazbin wouldn't exist,and vice versa. They helped the studio, the crew,and Viv, giving her experience to produce professionally.
Helluva also came to be because she was watching a lot of Brandon Roger's stuff while working on Hazbin, and so she decided to reach out to people he works with and pitch her project to him. And he accepted it, and the rest is history! She was shocked that Brandon Rogers accepted her pitch incredibly fast, asking to write with her immediately after accepting her pitch.
Brandon wrote the outline, and the jokes. But it was up to Viv to finish the rest. It was the first time she worked with someone who had a decent amount of writing experience; the people she wrote the Hazbin pilot with were all novice writers, including Viv herself.
Another unique thing about Helluva was that she got a bunch of animators for it early on because there was this mass resignation of animators from a bad project, so she was able to pick them up. Those helluva animators also enabled the hazbin pilot to be finished!â
-HH will not feature purgatory and will only deal with heaven and hellâs relationship, while HB is exclusively about the seven sins and hellborns. Vivzie has an idea for a third show involving heaven and earthâs relationship featuring purgatory but doesnât know when sheâll start development on it, itâs something sheâd further develop once HH and HB are done.
-A lot of broadway actors are involved with HH and HB and Vivzie is generally trying to cast people involved with broadway and theatre. Sheâs aware she was only able to get people like Alex Brightman thanks to the pandemic. Thereâs mention of a non broadway VA in Vivzie and Brandonâs view is a pretty big figure voicing in season 2.
-Cherubs will return, along with a lot of other season 1 characters like Verosika and Sallie May will be involved in one season 2 episode, Sheâll have a bigger role in far future.
-Goetia from the lesser keys like Stolas, Paimon and Andrealphus are considered higher rank, original characters like Stella and Octavia are lower rank but still considered âroyaltyâ
-Stella is confirmed to be a swan
-Stolas is confirmed to be a barn owl (I think itâs the same species Vivzie has taxidermed)
-Hell has an army but havenât been needed to do anything, Vivzie saids they just have one because a itâs normal thing.
-As of right now, the sins are only set to appear to HB with Lucifer only set for HH, it may change in the future.
-Thereâs no connection between HH and HB other than they take place in the same universe. HHâs narrative is more on whatâs good and evil and what makes people become good or bad and heaven and hell. HB is just about hellborn and hellborn society and the business that goes on in hell, but like the Office, itâs more about the people involved in the business than the business itself.
-Travel time between rings depend on where they go like a plane ride but it wouldnât take too long.
-Vivzie tried to give Fizz and Oz masc and femme energies since theyâre going to be seen together a lot.
-Hellborn lifespans vary between species, imps and hellhounds have similar lifespan which is why theyâre paired together. Succubi and incubi are slightly longer than imps and demons like dealmakers are almost immortal. Higher up you get the harder it is for someone to die.
-Angel dust still has his third pair of arms
-Angel dust is Vivzieâs favorite HH character to write (shocking)
-We wonât see how M&M met til further along the show, thereâs no confirmation if itâll be in season 2.
-RoboFizz are considered a high-end product in hell.
-weâll see more of Verosikaâs claim to fame later.
-Vivzieâs favorite episode to write in season 1 was episode 7 because it was her first one to write solo. She also likes episode 6 calling it a penultimate episode for season 1.
Well, first of all, thank you for all of this, Anon! Second of all, where to even begin?
I just can't get over how all the glimmers of the show's writing improving in season 2 (focusing more on the targets I.M.P. takes out, Stella being shown in a sympathetic light, etc.) didn't even happen. And the fact that Vivzie got her first round of animators by snatching them up from a bad project, and brags about that, knowing what we know now about Spindlehorse's working environment.
Also "masc and femme energy." Jesus Christ, Vivzie.
It's a mess. It's just such a tangled, poorly planned mess.

Vanny Evolution
-Pre Help Wanted-
Vanya âVanessaâ Anton, the descendant to the Anton family from my other AU, âWelcome to Callieâsâ, has one interesting backstory. Her parents neglected her for years, so she always got into trouble as a child.
Until she became suddenly pregnant when she turned 16, which caused her parents to freak the fuck out and kicked their daughter out. Enter Gregory, but Vanya has to give him up cuz she was too young to take care of a child, so Gregory was taken to the orphanage, and she never saw him again.
Years later, Vanya gets hired by the company who did the Freddy Fazbearâs Pizza Virtual Reality game (it could be Fazbear Entertainment or some other company idk). As she was hired, she meets another woman who looks just like her named Vanessa (they have the same names and look the same. Thatâs what happens when Scott reuses names like Michael and Jeremy so). Luckily, the two have something in common; bad parents, bad childhood and they liked Freddyâs when they were kids (Vanny liked Bonnie and Vanessa liked Freddy). She even met Luis, Vanessaâs crush, Lottie (AKA Tape Girl), the daughter of Mayor Laura Emerson and Vanessaâs younger sister, Valerie.
However, when Vanny tested the game for the first time after Jeremy Fitzgerald cut his face (he still lived thank God), something inside her made her feel strange....
-Post Help Wanted-
(Ignore the brown eyebrows I didnât know they were both white)
After meeting William (AKA Glitchtrap cuz fuck Canon), Vanya doesnât feel like herself anymore (She either develops a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation or Iâm just headcanoned her to be like Vanessa from Nightcove the Foxâs Vanessa: Into Madness movie). She went from being totally calm and happy to depressed and miserable. Her depression hikes up to 11 when Evil Elizabeth shows up.
However, despite this, Vanya still wants to show her master that sheâs more than his daughter, but no matter what, Elizabeth was always number one. It was time to prove him wrong. Or so she thought....
-Security Breach/Ruin-
After the grand opening of Freddy Fazbearâs Mega PizzaPlex, Vanya- oops, I meant Vanny, breaks into the PizzaPlex and hacks into the database which causes Vanessa to get hired by Fazbear Entertainment to work at the PizzaPlex for night shifts. Afton gives her a mission to help Evil Elizabeth lure kids and take their remnant (still a confusing concept I get it) to make Afton âbecome whole againâ (kind of like the Prototype from Poppy Playtime but not really). Once she sets her eyes on Gregory, she couldnât bear to kill him cuz she noticed that Gregory was her baby that she gave up all those years ago, so she decided to let him leave him alone and lie to her master about it.
However, Vanny tries her best not to hurt her own child but due to Afton affecting her so much, she becomes the Vanny we know and love (oh donât worry, she and Vanessa have much more screen time here). Thankfully, Gregory frees Vanya and M.X.E.S finally kills Afton for good.
-Post Ruin-
After the events of Ruin, Vanya reunited with Gregory and the two becomes whole again. Valerie and Roxanne help her dye her hair, so she doesnât look like Vanessa and Frederic (Glam Freddy) asks her out on a date, which she accepts.
#FNaF#The Massacrez of the Decades AU#Vanny#Vanya Anton#me art#AU Lore#ish#I like to headcanon that Vanya dresses like sheâs back in the 90âs/2000âs era#personally the Y2K era

The First of Four of the Princess Collection
The story begins with Celestia raising the sun. Lots of flowery words are here and it funny enough talks about Twilight and her friends more than Celestia. But there are two things to note: 1) they use moon to signify the passing of time. So could this be the first time they started calling a long period of time âmany moonsâ. 2) Celestia thanks the sun for letting her guide it. Is it sentient? Can âWhen Day Breaksâ of SCP happen here?
But enough about making a Creepypasta, it's time for the actual plot. Luna is having a rough night's sleep. And this is 2 years before Celestia thinks Lunaâs job isnât as hard. This time it makes sense since while Celestia was asleep Luna was handing Horseshoe Bay and a Manticore scare. While that was easy enough, the surprise Giant Enemy Crab was not. Celestia wanted to handle it since it is her shift now, but she has other commitments.
The Duchess Diamond Waves is having student troubles at her magic school. She was hoping Celestia being there could set things back on the path. Not wanting to disappoint a friend, she goes hoping that she can do it quickly and take care of the Carcinus issue. Of course thatâs after worrying about letting Luna take over Canterlot on her own while sheâs gone. Luckily Luna prepared and asked Twilight Sparkle to help. Apparently the Friendship Letters were an addiction Twilight is trying to kick.
So after finally arriving at Prance (yes, Prance), we meet Diamond Waves and honestly the interaction when they first met in this story really sells that they were friends for a long time. Back to business, when Summer Break should have been happening the students are still in school because none of them passed the exam. This is bringing Diamond down so bad, sheâs dimmer than when Celestia last met. But our favorite Sun Princess promises she will help and together they are unstoppable. Yeah, I wanna make Diamond Waves into pixels now.
But a scream makes a call to action and Celestia is ready for anything, even if it was Discord again playing pranks with his Invisipaint. Instead it was a colt who was escaping class without a hall pass. There was a fake spider spell that scared him, which Diamond Waves placed there. And considering how she was treating the student with earlier thinking that Twilight should let her students have fun, I think I figured out why her students arenât doing as hot as she would like them to.
Though to be fair, Diamond seems to have a reason. Apparently they have a Magical Artifact known as the Time Glass. While normally all it does is tell you the days on the calendar (so basically what is todayâs date), Mrs. Waves believes that if her students donât pass their Beast Defense Exam before a certain time period, Monacolt would be attacked by an army of creatures since Destiny dictates that only the sons and daughters can defend from it.
Of course you do have Celestia here but given her track record some more defense couldnât hurt. So when Celestia went to check up on these focus lacking students only to see students who look like theyâre about to play a round of Saw. One of them even answered a question so correctly, you wonder if this is a Stepford Wives situation. But Celesia works to ease their minds around her.
Thatâs when she finds out the test theyâre taking: The Muybridge Test. So Muybridge was an old stallion who won a battle in Monacolt a long time ago. And since the Dutchess wants to get these kids ready to defend the city, their big exam is based on his feats. And this is super top secret that only the school knows. So Diamond got them to write all this Moon (so is it months?) and became strict, boring and horrible.
So basically, Diamond Waves is trying to turn all her students into Pre-Friendship Twilight. Which means for Celestia to fix them, she gotta show them the power of Friendshi... I mean fun. And sending them to Ponyville to make Friends was not going to be the solution this time, especially with them struggling to figure out what fun is. So Celestia figured out that the best way to get them to have fun is to trick them to have fun.
So she got them to pair off with each other so they can learn how to make Friendship Fire. And the first step is to give your partner your essay, and have them rip it up. After a while, one pair decided to do it. It eventually turned into laughter and everyone followed suit. As the papers were burnt up, the blue flames burned them up. They learned how to create Friendship Fire by banding together despite having something to lose.
The next lesson is a beach day. She took them all to the beach to have fun. They instead ask her so many questions. One of them being how her hair gets all wavy, something Diamond Wavesâ used to do. But they eventually do start to play around. It was so nice, even old couples were happy to see the kids happy. But you know who wasnât? Diamond Wave who came back from her trip to see everything now. Too bad she leaves just as one of the students shows off an advanced water manipulation spell.
So after some time Celestia was going to meet up with Diamond Waves again. She also points out during her absence, Luna was responsible for the Sun and Moon, also saying it takes a lot of energy to do it. So that helps with the IDW Comic where Luna struggled to move the sun. Celestia also wonders whatâs the deal with the Time Glass. No matter how much sand goes down, the top remains the same. Celesita was hoping to point this out.
Celestia told Diamond that the students were great and learned two advanced spells. Diamond didnât believe her, with her eyes flashing dark for a second. Celestia convinced her to go to the beach for a while to discuss things further. I should mention by this point there are no waves happening. Not even little ones. Celestia convinced Diamond to have a little fun and splash around with the water together. Again, the best part of this book is selling these two being friends.Â
And just as she was, the oceans began to wave again. Turns out the Dutchess can control the waves of Monacolt and just couldnât do it for a while now. Sadly it did not last long as she began to worry about the upcoming attack once more. Sadly, just as Celestia was trying to convince Diamond to not do this, Canterlot has been attacked by Giant Enemy Crabs. Luckily a letter from Twilight clarified things and everything was alright. Also Luna can also talk to animals, something the Journal established.
Despite all that, she was wondering if she should go back to Canterlot just in case. But when a student left an apple for her with a letter thanking her for teaching how to create apples out of nothing, Celesita vowed to continue helping here. And honestly Iâm going to stop here because I highly recommend reading the rest of this story for yourself. More details I didnât mention. The truth behind the Time Glass. Celestiaâs plan. It is a fun read.
A flaw I had with Celestia that the show and comics only fixed near the end was not giving her a lot of character. She was always stoic, regal, all that jazz. But this book is like a large amount of fresh air in the middle of the Hallway. Between her interactions with the students and the Dutchess, it really showed just how well she was a teacher to Twilight Sparkle. And the friendship between Diamond and Celestia was great.
I want to make this canon. So probably sometime in the future where Twilight and Luna get more used to how this version of Equestria is. And after this, I am looking forward to the other books since that means Cadance could actually get something.Â

22nd October 2013Â
Dear Pete,Â
It's been a while since I updated you on the window box situation and I am proud to report that there is greenery in there. Andrew comes over about once a week on his way home to check the situation. Between lunches with Jamie, Holly's incessant email updates, and Andrew's gardening visits, there really isn't much time left alone. Christopher is of course always here as well. Floating through the house, doing what he does, and no longer attempting at intervals to take my clothes off.Â
Does it make me a whore if I admit that I miss that? It's not just the sex - though I could seriously do with some - it's the comfort. It was nice having someone to curl up with every now and again. It ran its course though. Now I'm cuddle deprived and irritable.Â
Anyway, that wasn't the point. Andrew came over to assess my latest gardening efforts.Â
"Oh my God, Liv! You've done it. You've kept them alive." "Really?" "Yes. They look good. Nothing to fault here." I clap my hands. "Oh such a relief! All I've done is water them and make sure they have sunlight. I can't believe it worked. That's really easy. How did I mess it up before?" Buffy is wagging his tail in approval.Â
"How do you do anything?" Good point.Â
In celebration we took Buffy over to the park for a walk. It's definitely approaching the time where he needs puppy pre-school. He's so big now and still growing. I don't think it would've registered how much time has passed since you've left if I didn't have something that I was able to fit in the palm of my hand when I first started writing, but now struggle to carry in both arms. Weighing in at twenty-three kilograms he is hardly my baby anymore. The park was quiet so we let him off the leash to run around.Â
"Are you still training?" Andrew's face was serious, watching the darkening evening sky straight ahead of him. "At least every second day. It helps. I don't really know how, maybe the chemical reactions, or being around other people, but the world is brighter when I do so I'm sticking with it. It also means I can eat more and I'm not averse to that."Â
He chuckled. "I've never met a woman who eats like you that isn't a hundred kilograms." "Now you know why I train. I'm actually not as bad as I make people think. When there are people around I eat whatever I want, but most of the time I don't bother eating on my own because I'm too lazy."Â
"A runner and a slacker? I didn't even know that was possible." "I am all about conquering the impossible. I thought you'd know that by now."Â
We grinned at each other but there was something else coming. Waiting for him to speak I felt calm, like whatever it might be I'd be able to handle it.Â
"Liv, do you have a plan?" "For?" I watched Buffy chase imaginary objects back and forth. There'd been a little trouble with fetch so the ball still sat firmly in my grip. There was no point throwing it if I was just going to have to chase it myself. Can't flex cardio. "For really moving past your issues. For if Prince Charming never comes along." "Oh. That." "It's just," he hesitated and pinched his brow. "It should be fun. Dating should be a pleasant experience, but watching you these last few months is about as fun as watching a human castration. How are you going to move past that? I worry that your behaviour is too erratic for you to ever be able to meet anyone. I could be wrong and I hope that I am, but I still worry." Taking a breath I squared my shoulders. "You're right. Andrew, you are fabulous, but you have nothing to worry about here, even though until recently I shared your concerns. That is the old Liv. Yesterday the new Liv kicked Big Red out and a few days before that she told The Czech to leave her alone. Now she has even gone so far as to stop having sex with Christopher. She is good. I am good."Â
"I'm sorry, you did what?" I gulped. Maybe Andrew had missed that one. "Yeah," I sound sheepish. "We hooked up a few times." "No I don't care about that. Why did you tell The Czech to leave you alone?" "Oh not you too! Come on! You don't even like him!" "His methods? No. The way he makes you smile when he gets his shit together enough to call? Yes." "Argh! You and Jamie are both insane. There is nothing between him and I. He wants sex, I want a relationship, what would be the point?" "And you couldn't possibly have sex without the promise of a relationship?" "I can, but it would end badly," I groan but Andrew is having none of it and continues to frown at me. "Say we have sex. What then? I'll tell you. I'll get so confused about what it means, and wishing that it meant more to him that next thing you know I'm so distracted I miss my chance with someone who actually wants me." "If it's just sex, why would you be distracted?" "I'm incapable of differentiating between good sex and my feelings." "You're having sex with Chris and you aren't confused about that." "That's Chris. Different." I protest but Andrew just turns up the corners of his mouth in amusement. "Uh huh." I pause, train of thought temporarily derailed. "I am though, aren't I? I'm having casual sex with a man and not getting crazy or jealous." "They grow so fast..."
Nodding to myself, I continued to mull it over. Then my brain reached that point. "Andrew? I need to go. I need to go get me some." He contorted his face in pain. "Phrase it differently."Â
"I'm going to go get laid." He pats my arm. "We'll workshop your poor conversational habits at a later date."Â
That all said, I had thought I would've heard from Will by now. Being told no is his ultimate aphrodisiac so it seemed a no- brainer that he'd pursue me a little more. But if you're only friends and your friend tells you to leave them alone, well that's what you do. Anything else would be disrespectful. Friendships are built on respect, so really what did I expect?Â
Exhibit A: Big Red vs. The Czech, or Sex Chaser vs. Real Friend. Lesson learned. So why am I contemplating screwing it up by adding sex into the mix? Or is everyone completely misreading this and unknowingly lining me up for another setback?Â
Liv xÂ

I love your âlittle momentsâ series⊠I have a weak spot for dad!Harryđ and I love the relationship between the familyâs members đ€ and I really hope u will continue to update it! And for this series I would like to request Harry doing the 73 questions interview for Vogue and his kids and wife make an appearance (u can choose if the kids are toddlers or teens) and they even answer some questions OR an Howard Stern interview where Harry is asked about his family,maybe the host makes like not so nice-low key shady comments on his wife and on Harryâs daughter coming out story. Ok Iâ m done, so sorry ik itâs so long đ
itâs just I love your series sooo muchhh đ„°đ„° ok Iâm done love u have a good day đ
iâd love to answer this one!! thank you so much for loving my little seriesđthis oneâs for you and for the other request i got which iâm combing with this: âHarry is doing a interview on facetime when his kid crashes the interview.â so pls enjoy and yeah enjoy;
oli - 6, felix - 4, belle - 1
The day had finally arrived for Harry Styles to complete the 73 Questions with Vogue.
It had come to be the promo for âDonât Worry Darlingâ and his schedule was booked with interview after interview after interview, and it wasnât ideal for this to all be happening months whilst also having to look after three meddling toddlers, one of whom had only recently turned 1 years old.
The house was chaos. Fun, but chaos. And it was also the setting of this interview.
âAlright you lot, this way.â You shoved your children along to your living room, giving Harry the space he needed with Joe Sabia - the interviewer.
âThank you love, see you later.â He blew a kiss to you and returned his focus to Joe. This interview was the first of many and it was also a major marketing ploy. These types of interviews were so highly recommended for Harry to be involved in and Jeff had thought it was about time for him to do one.
Joe had arrived around 15 minutes ago, just to
run over the script and remind Harry of the pre-determined questions - which reminded him of the answers that youâd run through with him the night before. Now the cameras were set up, the mic people were all at stand-by and Joe was ready it was time to begin. The children had been so fascinated by all these new people, after not seeing anyone for months due to the coronavirus pandemic, which is why it took a lot of trouble to get them to shuffle away from their beloved dad.
A fake door knock arose.
âHarry Styles hello!â
âHi!â Harry waved at the camera.
âIâm here to do the Vogue 73 Questions, shall we get to it?â
âOf course! Come in!â Harry welcomed Joe into the house and shut the door behind him, not trusting his little ones to not escape if they were running wild.
âBeautiful house! Is it your only one?â
âNo, but itâs my only one in London.â Harry made a point of not exploiting how many houses he did have and where they were. In fact, you still didnât know about the Island that he was currently investing in just for you. You were a huge conservation activist and so Harry thought you could spend your free time helping the fragile ecosystem on this island.
âDid you design it yourself?â
âMe and my wife built the plans, but we go the experts to finish it all off.â
âWhatâs your favourite room?â
âUm, probably the living room.â
âWhy?â
âSo many of my favourite memories have happened in there.â
âCould you give us some?â
Harry could give loads, but they were far too precious for him to just give away. The living room wasnât even a massive room, it was quite quaint with a couple of sofas, a logwood fire and then rugs and paintings on the walls. It was a home within a home. It was where Felix had taken his first steps. It was where Oli had spoken his first words. It was where Belle had fallen over for the first time and given herself nasty carpet burn. It was where presents were opened at Christmas. It was where you and Harry had made love next to the fire. It was where Felix and Oli had had their first tiny argument. It was where you spent family nights. If your house was a map then that room marked X the spot.
It was treasure. Priceless.
âMy favourite would probably be when my wife, Y/N, spilt red wine all over the new white carpet and then proceeded to throw white wine over the stain because sheâd read somewhere that it helps to get rid of it.â Harry chuckled at the memory.
âDid it?â
âNo, God no. The carpetâs grey now.â
Joe laughed, as did Harry.
âI have to say Harry, youâre looking very fashionable today who are you wearing?â
âGucci.â He blushed, because he knew that everyone wouldâe known that without question. He was wearing a lilac silk shirt with his name embroidered on it - but really it was to symbolise your last name not his - with a white wife-beater shirt and white shorts. He looked rich.
âShouldnât have asked really? Is your wife as much a Gucci avid fan?â
âShe hates anything expensive. I think she still wears the same jeans she was wearing at university!â He knew youâd hit him later for saying that.
âSo sheâs a hoarder?â
âGod yeah. She keeps everything and anything.â Harry laughed in admiration.
âHas she always been?â
âAlways. When we went on our first date, her bag was so full that she couldnât find her purse and she was so embarrassed because she thought I would think she was taking advantage of who I was. Anyways I did end up paying that night, but she had actually, I donât know how, sent me money for her portion of the bill. From that moment I knew it was going to be her.â
âDo you write songs about her?
âEvery day.â He smiled at the thought of the one heâd written just this morning.
âWhich one is your favourite about her?â
âI donât know about favourite, but the one I hold closest to my heart is probably âFine Lineâ.â Harry stopped there, not wanting to share the intimate details of why and Joe respected that.
âDo your children have a favourite song of yours?â
âThey go crazy for Kiwi and Golden. Belle loves Treat People and Oli knows the dance to that one actually.â
âDid you choreograph the dance for TPWK?â
âPartially, but I had help from my friend Paul and Y/N helped too actually.â
Harry and Joe had now made it through the house, weaving in and out of rooms, until they had made it to the Garden. Unfortunately, youâd forgotten to shut the bifold doors to the living room and so as soon as Harry came into focus for your children they immediately ran for him. Oli and Felix could run quite well, but Belle was a lot slower. She was only learning how to walk and so she fell a lot, unless she was being supported by you or Harry. Oli reached his dad first and then Felix, to which Harry knelt down to embrace them in âsuper-dadâ hugs as he liked to call them.
âAnd who do we have here?â Joe asked.
âTrouble.â Harry replied in jest, but whispered something into his boys ears before backing away.
âHello iâm Oli.â Oli waved proudly to the camera.
âHi iâm Fix.â Feliz shied into his dads neck, embarrassed of himself. Harry kissed the back of his head and kept a hold oh him around his back for comfort.
âFix?â Joe asked at the peculiar name.
âItâs Felix, but he canât pronounce his own name for some reason so we just call him Fix now. Or Flix. Donât we buddy?â
âOh my! Iâm so sorry about this!â You ran out in panic, knowing your one job was to keep the kids entertained and away from their dad. At least that was the original plan, but both Harry and Joe like this idea so much more. You were blushing red in embarrassment, picking up a fallen over Belle on your way over to everyone else. âSo sorry.â
Belle became restless in your arms, reaching forward for her dad. She whined when she couldnât quite reach and Harry immediately stood up to take his winging daughter from your arms. As he did, he leant into you and whispered in your ear whilst leaving it a warm kiss behind.
âYouâre okay love. Donât be sorry.â
âHello Y/N!â Joe spoke.
âHiya! How are you?â
âIâm great, and you?â
âPeachy.â You laughed, leaning down to collect Felix who was making grabby hands at you. Oli was quite happy standing next to both his parents, one of Harrys hands running through his tiny locks of hair.
âSo now we have the family together, how do you feel to all be together?â
You looked to Harry smiled to find him smiling back already at you, knowing you both had a very similar answer. âIt feels right. It feels like home.â You answered and Harry nodded in agreement, giving Belle a gentle rock in his arms.
âAre you okay with showing your childrenâs faces publicly?â
âNo weâre not.â
âLooks like we have a hell of a lot of editing to do back at HQ.â Joe laughed, but completely understood the reasoning behind yours two decision. If needed, you could re-film scenes of this interview so that it didnât include your children. Joe had done his best to keep the camera on you and Harry and luckily the children kept their faces buried in their parents necks anyways. âIs that going to be forever?â
âWhen they are old enough to decide whether they want to be in the spotlight then weâll see.â Harry smiled, holding onto Belle tighter because all he wanted to do was keep her protected, and his, forever.
âYou two seem like very good parents.â Joe spoke sincerely, and it made you swallow down a sob because it was always really lovely to hear such compliments - knowing youâd struggled with postnatal depression.
âThank you Joe.â Harry nodded respectfully.
âOkay letâs carry on?â
The interview carried on until Harry had answered so many questions. He redid bits, due the children being too involved and he re-filmed answers to questions he found difficult to answer the first time around. He had such a great experience and was happy with the way that the day turned out.

Fic Roundup (up to 9/26/21)
I'm gonna start collecting fics I've read recently to recommend them, because making trope lists takes too long and many fics fall by the wayside. Let me know if you like this new format!
The fandoms in this list are as follows: Marvel (SamBucky, HTP, SpideyPool, WinterHawk, WinterIron, Stony, Stucky, SpiderShield), DCU (Bane/Blake), Inception (Arthur/Eames), Teen Wolf (Sterek).
A * signifies a particular favorite (though I love all these fics)
Marvel
Sam/Bucky
double back by flowermasters (E, 12K, Post-Endgame, Time Loop, Time Travel)
Sam gets stuck in a time loop. In 1943.
Things could be worse, but they could certainly be better.
Companion piece here: quick time
I'll explain everything to the geese by napricot (Post-Endgame, E, 50K, Sam can talk to birds)
Bucky is so competent that it hurts my feelings is not a rational complaint to have about a person, and yet, after a year of being Captain America and partnering up with Bucky for the new and improved, post-Blip Avengers, thatâs kinda how Samâs feeling.
Itâs not great. It maybe leads to Sam making some rash, ill-advised decisions like claiming he has a previously undisclosed superpower, and then getting caught in a web of lies when he ends up actually developing that surprisingly inconvenient superpower. Talking to birds had seemed like a harmless superpower, but it turns out that birds have a lot of opinions, and they donât hesitate to tell Sam about them, especially when it comes to his supposedly subpar courting skills. Which is ridiculous, because Sam isnât courting Bucky. Right?
Rumlow/Bucky
**blueprints for a better world series by itallstartedwithdefenestration @astralhux (CATWS, Post-CATWS, Noncon, E, 115K, Dark Main Character)
When Pierce discovers the asset is no longer capable of getting himself hard during recreational use, he tells Rumlow to figure out what the problem is, and to fix it. The solution turns out to be more complicated than anyone expected.
I can't recommend this series enough
Peter/Wade
*Dead Men Walking series by doctorestranged @lazystrawberrymilkshakes (E, 235K, Identity Porn, Slow Burn)
When a series of murders take place, Peter Parker goes undercover in Sister Margaretâs to get intel on Tony Starkâs prime suspect: Deadpool. Peter goes in hoping to get enough information so that Spider-Man can save the day, but like everything in Peterâs life, it becomes a bit more complicated than that and it soon becomes apparent that he might not be the best fit for the job.
All About Chemistry by TwiceBakedPotato @sedatedkoala (No Powers AU, M, CNTW, 74K, Teacher-Student Relationship, Slow Build)
After serving his 20 years in the Marine Corps, Wade Wilson is cashing in his GI Bill and going back to college. He feels like the old man on campus, but that doesn't matter. He likes his classes. He likes learning. And he especially likes his Chemistry professor with the messy brown hair.
Clint/Bucky
Making Me A Habit by Kangofu_CB @kangofu-cb (No Powers AU, T, 20K, Pet Store, Slow Burn, Pining, Misunderstandings)
Bucky is a disabled vet struggling with reintegrating into civilian life. He has a routine and a rhythm, and he doesn't like to let anything - big or small - disrupt it. That all changes the day Bucky finds himself inside CATastrophe, the local pet rescue, recovering from a panic attack in the back room of the shop.
Heâs used to walking by the place, not visiting, but the next thing Bucky knows, heâs hanging signs and being used as a climbing tree for a bunch of freshly-acquired kittens. And he just...keeps going back. First for the kittens, then for the disaster shop owner who rescues actual kittens from actual trees and teaches archery as a side-gig, and eventually because heâs hopelessly in love.
(Clint was in love before Bucky ever walked in the door.)
*Nameless by AvaKelly (Post-CATWS, M, 101K, Time Travel, Time Loop, Slow Burn)
A gun is pointed at him before he can even move from his position, the Soldier's metal arm steady in its aim. Clint sighs.
"Nemo," Clint says. "It's tattooed on your wrist, right here," he lifts his right hand and taps his left index finger where his palm ends.
The Soldier's eyes widen. "How do you know this?"
"I put it there."
Glitter, G-Strings and Other Mission Hazards by flawedamythyst @flawedamythyst (T, 16K, Undercover, Stripper Clint)
âWhich is why you need me to shake my booty for cash,â said Clint.
âPrecisely,â said Coulson. âYouâre the only agent we have who wouldnât need additional training in the skills of an exotic dancer to take on the mission, and we want to get someone in there as soon as possible.â
Clint nodded, shutting the file. âOkay, awesome. Iâll dig out my sequined g-string.â
âYouâll have full access to requisition any costumes you might need,â said Coulson.
A mission requires Bucky to be Clint's back-up as he goes undercover as a stripper, which gets more difficult with every new costume he comes out in.
Paternal Error by EVVS @skylarkevanson (Post-CATWS, T, 33K, Kid Fic, Established Relationship)
Bucky has never once thought of being a parent. Not since the Winter Solider happened.
Until he falls in love with Clint Barton. And that idiot just keeps collecting children for his flock.
Now Bucky has to pretend like he's good at parenting.
Bucky/Tony
Forms of Love by bear_bell (Post-CACW, E, 33K, Split Personalities)
Months after the Avengers' dispute in Germany, the team returns to the US and moves back into the tower. As always, everyone pretends that nothing happened. Tony is just fine with this. He's used to pretending, and he'll be damned if he lets any of them see him flinch.
Tony's the bad guy, after all. He's used to it. He's fine with it. He's good at it.
Only now, there's something far worse loitering around the tower - The Winter Soldier. No one notices the guy at first, but when they do, Tony figures that he should have the soldier's back.
Birds of a feather should flock together, and the bad guys should start a book club.
Steve/Tony
While You Were Sleeping by betheflame @betheflame (No Powers AU, M, 65K, While You Were Sleeping AU)
It's been years since Steve Grant Rogers Drysdale has spoken to his twin, Ransom. So it was quite a shock when he was summoned to a hospital and found out that Ransom was in a coma.
Even more shocking? That Ransom is engaged. To Tony Stark.
Steve/Bucky
The Road Goes Ever On And On by PipGraham (Omegaverse AU, M, Noncon, Graphic Violence, 20K, Road Trip, Pre-Serum Steve, Past Domestic Violence)
When Brock's continued domestic abuse puts not only Steve's life in danger, but also that of his unborn pup, he flees into the night with just a small backpack of clothes and almost no money to his name.
Steve quickly runs into trouble as he tries to embark on a 3-day cross-country bus journey back home to New York City.
He meets a kind veteran when he most needs a helping hand.
Just Words by LadyRazzle (crimegimp) @ladyrazzle (Pre-CATFA, Soulmate AU, T, 2K, Fluff)
Inspired by that now legendary post: "soulmate AU where you wake up on your 18th birthday with the first words your soulmate will say to you tattooed on your body so youâll know them when you meet them." Well what if they appear the moment you turn 18, rather than just the day? And what if by the time you turn 18, you'd already fallen in love?
Bucky wasnât eager to discover what the words said. He already knew what he wanted them to say. He always had.
Peter/Steve
Forgetting It's There by spinstitcher (stygian) (NR, 8K, Crack, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Identity Porn)
âYouâre Captain America,â he blurts out.
âWhat?â says Captain America, looking a little wide-eyed. He casts a nervous glance at the girl at the counter â he has nothing to worry about there, sheâs rocking out to her iPod and could care less what theyâre talking about â and says, âNo, uh, Steve, itâs just, Iâm Steve.â
âRight,â says Peter, and then because his brain-to-mouth filter had apparently been completely destroyed in the fight on Oscorp Tower: âHey, your butt really is as tight as it looks on TV.â
DCU
Bane/Blake
7 Deadly Ass(as)sins by teacuphuman @teacuphuman09 (AU, E, 23K, BDSM)
Bane and Barsad own a sex shop and John needs a job.
Straws by Menirva (Bane/Blake/Barsad, AU, E, 38K, BDSM)
John works in a smoothie shop.
He has a knack, a second sense if you will, for being able to look at a person and know what they're going to order. It's not the most spectacular gift in the world but he likes being able to figure people out and he's never wrong.
Except for this scruffy asshole who is clearly just ordering the wrong thing to fuck with him.
How is he even finishing an extra-large?
Inception
Aurthur/Eames
Rough Trade by Whisky (whiskyrunner) @whiskyrunner (AU, E, 23K, Internalized Homophobia)
Arthur is an investment banker. He is professional and efficient. He's a halfway decent cook. He's totally independent and has been since the age of eighteen. Maybe he's tired all the time because he works about ninety hours a week which is twice what normal people do, but he's rich and he's competent at his job. He's almost thirty, and already a success.
And there are some things Arthur is not. For instance: Arthur is not gay.
Lucky by earlgreytea68 @earlgreytea68 (M, 37K, Kid fic)
Arthur finds a baby.
Teen Wolf
Stiles/Derek
Cut to the Bone by standinginanicedress (Omegaverse AU, E, 112K, Secret Relationship, Enemies to Lovers kinda)
âNot that itâs any of your god damn business, but my name is Stiles. Do you need something?â
The alpha grins. All teeth, shiny white, straight as an arrow. Heâs got this sculpted perfection to him that Stiles is sure has worked on all the omegas heâs ever encountered before, but Stiles stands his ground and narrows his eyes. âA date.â
Stiles looks him up and down, slowly, from the black shoes on his feet, to his uniform khakis and blazer littered with pins, to his face. He frowns, makes a face, and says, âpass.â
Cornerstone by Vendelin (Human AU, E, 83K, Marine Derek, Blind Stiles, Friends to Lovers)
Suffering from PTSD, ex-Marine Derek Hale moves back to Beacon Hills to open a bookshop and find a calmer life. Thatâs where he meets Stiles, completely by accident. Stiles is talkative, charming and curious. Somehow, despite the fact that heâs blind, heâs able to read Derek like no one else.
Stand Fast in Your Enchantments by DevilDoll, Rahciach (AU, Graphic Violence, E, 76K, Captivity, Feral Derek)
"Stiles knew damn well what a pissed-off wolf sounded like, and every hair on the back of his neck was telling him that somewhere in this room was a very pissed-off werewolf." An AU in which Derek is feral, Stiles is magical, and they eat a lot of fast food.
The Payoff Pitch by Leslie_Knope (Sports AU, E, 83K, Coming Out, Friends to Lovers)
Derek is on the cusp of his second season with the LA Dodgers, and as the reigning runner-up Rookie of the Year, the pressureâs on him to become the teamâs star pitcher and lead them to the playoffs for the first time in five years. Heâs trying to deal with the burden of expectations and really has zero desire to spend any extra time or energy on anything that isnât baseball.
But then he meets Stiles.

So this wasn't requested but I wanted to give some random Headcanons
Now this post definitely isn't for everyone's taste,
Now I know quite a bit about ABO dynamics and I haven't seen any headcanons on what each strawhat would be. Now if you do not like ABO, do not worry this will be my only post with it that isn't requested and I won't be offended if you skip this.
This definitely isn't the most detailed it can go but it's like 3 am for me and I just want these HC's outta my mind.
The Strawhats
Luffy;
This man is an Alpha, I mean how else could he become Pirate King.
Now I mean no hate to omegas, I think they should be highly respected. But based on what a society in ABO is like, it makes the most sense for Luffy to be an Alpha.
He is protective and strong, plus conquerors Haki is very similar to pheromones. He would do anything for his crew and he wants them safe.
He wouldn't be appealed to have an Omega, it wouldn't be on his agenda and he'd handle a rut very privately.
He would fight his way to the top fairly and wouldn't discriminate against betas and omegas.
I'm also down to hear anyone's different opinions on any of these.
Zoro;
I can see him in many different ways, I can see him as an Alpha but I can see Omega with insecurities about it, but my most confident answer is Beta.
The reason why is because his undying loyalty to Luffy. He would fulfill the role as a Beta quite well. He would be able to avoid the hormones of others and be quite unbothered by all of it. He would work slightly harder to be the greatest swordsman especially if Mihawk is an Alpha. He wouldn't of presented before his best friend died but if she began showing signs of an Alpha, he would probably feel the extra competitive edge to be better.
He wouldn't care if someone is an Alpha or Omega, why should that shit matter to him.
And he wouldn't really care about what his partner was.
If he was an Omega, he would use suppressants and be damned if anyone knew. He would probably beat himself up over it and would build a high tolerance to pheromones. He would NEVER let someone help through a heat unless a long term relationship. And he would never be caught in an Mpreg situation.
And if he was an Alpha, he would accept Luffy as overall Alpha. He wouldn't feel like fighting it and he has the serious demeanor. He would protect any omegas but refuse to participate in a heat. He would fight himself a shit ton and never let his guard down.
Usopp;
Beta man, there's no way he'd be an Alpha. I mean he would always feel sad about it most likely, wanting to be brave and strong. He would probably have some lingering thoughts about the system, he wouldn't see Omegas as less than but he would probably assume that Omegas and Alphas are meant together and he has to find a Beta.
Until his crush on Kaya, the caring Omega. He would fight himself internally over it but she wouldn't care if he was a Beta. She probably was told she had to find a nice Alpha but that wouldn't affect her, she really cares about Usopp. She even goes to medical school to fix him up.
He would be disturbed by Ruts and Heats, he would get flustered and stay away from whoever was having one at the time.
Sanji;
Just like Zoro I can see any of them,
But I'm leaning Beta/Omega. No offense if you are like đĄ I want an Alpha Sanji don't disrespect my man's like that
Reason why I can see Omega, he is quite loving and I think he'd make a great dad. He loves ladies so much and being an Omega wouldn't stop him. I mean hey, look how much he likes fiesty women. He definitely wouldn't be against a female alpha, as long as he doesn't know about the extra appendage during a rut.
His family storyline would play into this, his dad would've been pissed if all Sanjis siblings are an Alpha but Sanji was a "weak" omega son. He would definitely be an angry and powerful Omega, training his tolerance to pheromones. And oh my god he'd be so angry if Zoro is a Beta/Alpha.
He would avoid Alpha men, I don't see him ever wanting to date one. I think he may be a little fruity but it's so internalized he would never be okay dating any male. He would probably hope for any female, but preferring an Omega/Beta.
If Sanji is a Beta, he'd be right up there with being a supporter of Luffy. He would definitely offer to help Omegas through a heat (and promptly get turned down) . He would be frustrated anytime an Alpha was in a rut and avoid being near them at all costs. It would piss him off especially if they wanted one of the crew.
His preferences would stay the same as if he were an omega.
And as an Alpha, oh my this man would be the most respectful ever. He would be damned before he let himself with an Omega without consent said before the heat was even close. He would protect his Omega at all costs. And he would let them bite his neck back. And he would defend any omegas in a vulnerable position. He definitely has a savior complex about it though. But he definitely would believe he could only have an Omega.
Brook;
He is a skeleton, this wouldn't even affect him.
As a human tho, I could see an Omega with his love of the arts and his love for Laboon and his crew. But I don't have much of detailed one for him. Beta, possibly but that's the easiest to presume someone as.
Chopper;
He is a damn reindeer. I just wanted to include my besties name but yeah he is a reindeer no way in hell would this affect him and he'd just make suppressants for everyone. Even with the human human fruit, that wouldn't add abo to his form.
Franky;
Now there's a chance that now as a cyborg this doesn't affect him. But pre cyborg or if it did, I see him as an Omega.
This man cries his heart out (which I love dearly about him) and he is such a big bro/dad figure.
He wouldn't care what anyone was but as a kid he may have had some trouble with the concept until Tom taught him better. Esp with Ice for Brains, who I could see as an Alpha/Beta so Franky may have felt less than.
Robin;
Alpha or Beta, but she isn't an Omega.
She holds herself up with an air of stoic and dark humor/themes. She would be quite a helpful Beta and she'd protect any Omega friends. She would feel very strongly about Omegas being seen as the same as everyone else. And she would feel very insecure if she was made to submit to anyone unwillingly.
I can see Alpha tho, (esp Frobin <3), she lets Franky let his tears out and she is such a good friend. She would struggle to let her feelings out which would make her line in Enies lobby even more important. She would be experienced and she would probably offer to help an omega she was very close to but she wouldn't settle down unless you are Franky or a very solid partner to her. She wouldn't care if you were another Alpha or Beta though, she'd love you for you.
Jinbe/Jimbei;
Now I don't know if Fish people/men would even be affected but if they were.. he would be...
Alpha, but in a very nonchalant way. He was a warlord, and not just anyone would get that. He wouldn't ever make someone submit and he would fight for rights for everyone esp Omegas in his community. If he did settle down, it wouldn't matter to him. Just as long as he can share his feelings in a safe place.
But beta would work as well, he is quite devoted to his crews and is a loyal person in general and shows alot of care to Luffy during the timeskip.
I also haven't finished Fish man Island yet so I have little to work with.
Nami;
I did save her for last, this is probably the most biased one. I mean as you guys will learn, she's my girlfriend/wife, so I may see her slightly different than someone else would.
Now I feel like as many of the others, she can fit in all three. I mean everyone is going to show traits to each kind which is why I try to explain myself for each.
Alpha, i can see this. She's very fiesty and she sure as hell wouldn't want to submit to anyone. She would be a little embarrassed during a Rut and she would use suppressants. She would be fine with not being top dog but she definitely wants her respect, she's the entire reason they get anywhere.
She isn't looking for romance but she'd be fine with anyone as long as they were worth it. I think an Alpha male would be her least likely pair though, that person would have to be quite honorable and prove themselves to her as good enough.
If she's an Omega, she would be quite angry about it. She wouldn't want to be perceived as weak and sure as hell would use suppressants and she'd be damned if an alpha helped her through a heat. The only way she would, would be after a super solid relationship where there's extreme trust. She would slap the crap out of Sanji if he tried anything or suggested anything, she wouldn't have any patience especially after she had to deal with the bullshit she heard her entire time with Arlong and other crews stealing treasure.
If she was a beta, she'd probably go after another Beta. Keep thing simple. She would eyeroll at any alphas and she would be over the whole alpha/omega bullshit.

Yooo your love story straight out seems like an e2l slow burn tumblr fic. Do you have any plans using at as a plot?? I would def read it đ
I donât know if I would truly call it enemies-to-lovers becauseâalthough I got irritated with him and his behavior and did snap at him from time to timeâwe were not really enemies. In fact we were barely friends for most of the years we knew each otherâ
Well.
Ok. So thatâs not totally true...
We fought online constantly. From the time we graduated college (where his crush first developed and I routinely forgot his name) the two of us were always fighting on social mediaâusually about politicsâand occasionally about other things but both of us were too smart to ever truly get the better of each other so there was a grudging respect, (his mom said he used to yell at his computer screen about me). We had it OUT several times online even though we rarelyâif everâspoke in person.
My poor sweet boy DID get himself in trouble over me in more ways than one thoughâeven if weâre werenât close yet...
His college girlfriend set him up to fail asked him who he would date if the two of them werenât together and he answered immediatelyâvehementlyâ
âViola. I would definitely date Viola if I could.â
đ€Šđ»ââïž (oh...honey...no)
(That would become a huge THING in their relationship. Every time they got into a fight his ex would shout âwhy donât you just go date VIOLA then?!ââWhen he married me he said he felt like a real winner in that particular collection of conflicts. Playing the long game I guess đ€Łđ)
Back then I was all about the music/dramatic arts scene and I was dating a string of empty headed pretty boys who bored me nigh unto death because I was young and completely stupid.
In contrast my someday-boo was painfully quiet and shy (though not really with me because he was too busy trying to prove me wrong), but everyone who met him or spoke to him really liked him and respected him.
After college we were were still in the same extended social circle (andâas previously mentionedâfighting online), but I went to grad school and my not-yet-husband decided to chill for awhile and take a job as a landscaper while he figured his life out and... hereâs where it gets complicated because...
âthatâs where the girls came in. You see... heâs always been a really nice guy... maybe a little too nice đ€Šđ»ââïž
The term fuqboi tends to conjure up impressions of a cocky frat bro who slyly shags his way through a mountain of willing women with disconnected efficiency and a subtext of emotional constipation.
But that would not be the case here.
You see my husband is a listener. Heâs an INFP. He, unlike many of his brethren, understands emotions and can really make a woman feel seen. Combine that with his good looks, brilliant mind, and broody nerditude and you have a recipe for women who were âjust friendsâ randomly dropping to their knees (and a lot more) for him.
Never one to stand in the way of a ladyâs dreams, pre-me-hubby figured that if they were that determined to (*insert miscellaneous sexy stuff here*) with him thenâwellâheâd let them.
I mean why not, right? No harm done.
Wrong. đ€Ź
And here is where our paths truly began to merge (in the real world) for the first time.
As the FOURTH girl (just in my friend group) he graciously allowed (đ€Šđ»ââïž) to have her wicked way with him sobbed in my arms, I became determined to put this ridiculous man-child IN his PLACEâthis time in the tactile world as well as the virtual one.
...Poor Liz
She realized that he had absolutely no desire whatsoever to be in a relationship with anything other than his WoW account and she was insistent that he had broken her heart.
So I cornered him and we had it out. (Call me meddlesome, but to be fair he was four friends deep at this point.)
The problem was that... the more I talked to him...the more he was not really what I expected... I found myself...oddly...intrigued?
Later it would come out that I was the first girlâeverâthat he actually pursued. And I was not even aware of it for like the first three months.
He was pretty slick after all when it came down to it.
That man convinced me to âhelp himâ with womenâto make sure he didnât get himself into another situation where some girl with heart eyes was tearing off his clothes and expecting commitment.
HE ASKED ME TO BE HIS âEXCUSE.â
đ€Šđ»ââïž(...I know. Iâm an idiot.)
âWe can hang out. Youâll teach me how to spot if a girl is about to catch feelings and take off my pants. And I will have an excuse when they call as to why we canât hang outâ (âand ...they really were always calling. It was wild.)
....I mean he WAS shy! It SEEMED plausible!
So yeah my dim self agreed to it. (đ€Šđ»ââïž)
I considered it a valiant attempt to save the rest of my social circle from the most clueless âaccidentalâ fuqboi on planet earth and maybe even an opportunity to teach him how to be a real human being and what not.
And before you think âfake datingââwe werenât. We were just hanging out as friends. You see when I went to yell at him (and chased him down after he laughed at me and tried to escape) we ended up talking in his car for like four hours. And then that happened like three more times randomly so... I... actually... wanted... to be his friend... đ€·đ»ââïž
I was still 110% not interested romantically.
Your girl (me) was after some bland banker dude (đ€Šđ»ââïž) and so I blissfully fell into friendship with my actual soulmate without a single second thought. And I never worried about either of us catching feelings because I had a crush on someone else and he had heavily implied that I was not his type. (He told me later that I just assumed this and he simply never corrected me đ)
I donât remember falling for him. I never decided to. I never thought about it...
But one day after the whole crew was hanging out at a restaurant (and the waiter kept giving me free drinks which may have pissed my once-and-future man off) the two of us went out to his car to have our customary three hour post-chill chat...
I was teasing him about somethingâsome girl he was still attempting to untangle himself fromâand I saidâas had become my habit (seriously I said this so many times as a joke)ââItâs too bad Iâm not your typeâyou could just tell her you have a girlfriend.â
(Now. I know what youâre thinking. But I was still firmly on team platonic ok! I was just a flirt. And maybe part of me was starting to feel weird things about himâbut those feelings werenât like anything I recognized so I thought I just needed to cut back on sugar or something.)
(Have I mentioned Iâm an idiot?)
ANYWAYS he looked me right in the eye. So serious. And instead of saying âthatâs too badââLIKE he ALWAYS didâhe saidâ
âYou...are my type, Viola... Youâre exactly my type.â
To which I respondedââ....What? No Iâm not. You said I wasnât.â
âNever said that. You assumed.â
âYou LET me!â
âfollowed by a good ten minutes of me having an existential crisis/yelling at him for allowing me to believe he didnât find me attractive and lulling me into a false sense of security. He was infuriatingly unapologetic.
At the end of it all he asked me to give himâgive usâa chance.
And I agreed to go out on a few dates with him (mostly to prove to myself that there was nothing there).
(đ€Šđ»ââïž)
The only thing I ended up proving was that I was wrong about what I wanted and even more wrong about what I needed.
You see...
Those weird feelings turned out to be love.
(đ€Šđ»ââïž)
And it was a really special experience to sit in a room full of girls who had cried in my arms over himâgirls I had lectured repeatedly on the dangers of his heartless waysâ and admit that I was his girlfriend.
đ€Šđ»ââïž
Love wasâand continues to beânothing like I expected and frankly I couldnât be happier.
... to answer your questions
1. I have considered writing a fic based on our story called Broken Road. The title is taken from an old Rascal Flatts song thatâas insanely cheesy as it isâreally reminds me of us. Donât know if I will actually write this. Thought about it a lot though.
2. Tags I would use for this story?
#enemies-to-lovers / #idiots-to-lovers / #college au / #outgoing!fem reader(me) x shy nerd!accidental fuqboi / #reader is also a huge nerd actually / #sheâs just a loud one / #frenemies-to-lovers / #the love is requited / #theyâre just idiots / #pining (his) / denial (mine) / #reader has terrible taste in men / #except for that last one / #she really redeemed herself there at the end
#wow#it was really cool to write all this out actually#my love story#well part of it anyways#itâs still ongoing#viađviola

Adopting Bangtan 09
01 previous
AN UNLIKELY WEDDING
You bit your lip as you stared at your phone. You had an email from Jimin and Taehyungâs mother. Song Jieun was your old coworker who you had adored, but who also tricked you into taking care of her children so that she could get married without worry. Your respect and opinion of her had gone down significantly with that move, but you⊠didnât exactly understand, but you did appreciate that she gave her children to someone who could properly take care of them instead of leaving them to fend for themselves which had seemed to be her original plan.
Whatâs wrong?â Seokjin looked up from the video game he was playing, ignoring the cut scene he had watched a dozen times before now to focus on you. You could hear the younger boys playing in their bedroom, the sounds of legos clattering and mouth-made explosions louder than what their closed bedroom door could block off. They were sounds that had become familiar in the past six months, sounds that used to be made by one child and were nowhere near this boisterous.
âNothing,â you shrugged while you scrolled through the email a second time and tried to sort out your feelings. Seokjinâs stare burned into your cheek and rolled your eyes. âI mean it, nothing is wrong. JustâŠâ You could feel your face twisting into a dissatisfied expression and tried to relax it back into something more neutral. There were times when you found you could rely on the eldest of your children, and times when you thought it was better to keep things to yourself, and you werenât sure which one this was.
âSomeone emailed me,â you hedge. âIâm just trying to decide how I feel.â
âThatâs your worried face,â said Seokjin. âYou only make that face about work and about us. But you also whine when youâre worried about work, so itâs about us, isnât it? Which one of the kids is failing school?â
âNo one is failing school,â you laugh. âNamjoon could be doing better, but Iâm certain he just doesnât care as much as his teachers want him to. Neither does YoongiâŠ. You know, as a teacher myself, I should probably be more concerned.â
âYouâre appropriately concerned,â Seokjin reassured you. âWhy should you worry about things you canât control? Youâre just going to age faster.â
âYouâre going to stop calling me old one day.â
âLying isnât healthy,â
âSays the kid who lied his way into adoption.â
âI took advantage of my situation. Thatâs not lying, thatâs cunning.â
âI didnât raise you like this,â you say, standing.
âNo, but thatâs kind of the point, isnât it? Iâm raising myself, six kids, and my guardian. I canât tell if Iâm doing a piss poor job or not.â
âLanguage, Kim Seokjin!â
âDinner, seonsaengnim!â he shouted back. The problem was, you arenât sure if he successfully distracted you from your concerns or if you successfully distracted him from you.
===
Song Jieunâs email bothered you intermittently throughout the week. Itâs not like you forgot she existed. Youâve received a hefty sum into your bank account every month for taking care of the boys, enough to make you wonder exactly why her new husband didnât want to take care of them when he would probably be spending a lot less money if they were under his own roof. So no, Song Jieun wasnât someone you forgot existed unlike like you could the rest of your kidsâ parents, she just⊠wasnât relevant. So it bothered you that she was trying to make herself relevant now, after six months of silence.
âYouâre doing the thing again,â Seokjin poked your face. You startled, unaware that he had approached, but thankfully kept your coffee mug full. âWhat are you so worried about?â
âNothing,â you say for the umpteenth time that week. âIâm not worried about anything.â
âYouâve been ânot-worriedâ since last Thursday,â Seokjin argued.
âSo then why do you keep asking me whatâs wrong?â You didnât have to turn to see the weighted stare he gave you, you could feel it. That was the thing about your kids, all of them. They had a way of making you feel like you were the one in trouble, you were the one being raised instead of the other way around. Some days you were convinced that they were the ones keeping you around, explicitly for financial reasons.
âIf youâre just going to insist on being stubborn,â Seokjin sighed. He poured two cups of coffee, one for himself and one for Yoongi, and turned the kettle on for Namjoon. The other boys would be zombie-walking their way into the kitchen for breakfast soon, so you and Seokjin set to work preparing leftovers from dinner a few nights ago.
âSong Jieun wants to visit the boys,â after a long, silent moment, you finally admit your concern. The kettle was puffing itâs pre-whistle warning, so you turned it off, sitting the pot on its wicker table mat until Namjoon made his way to the table.
âWhoâs Song Jieun?â asked Seokjin. âWhich boy? Not me, right?â
âNo, of course not you, silly. You wonât even tell me your parentsâ names. How am I supposed to know when they come to visit?â
âTrust me, they wonât,â Seokjinâs tone left no room for discussion, just a sad or regretful sort of resentment.
âIf you say so,â you shrugged off your curiosity, familiar with how closed-off this kid got when it came to his home life before you. âSong Jieun is Taehyungâs mom and Jiminâs stepmom.â
âThe coworker who tricked you into adopting them?â
âThatâs what you got out of that?â
âIsnât that what happened?â
âThatâs besides the point,â
âThat is the point.â
âWhatâs what point?â Namjoon shuffled into the kitchen.
âOur guardian is trying to decide if the twins should see their mother.â Seokjin answered.
âThatâs not what I said,â
âThatâs what you were going to say.â
âEveryone else gets nice, obedient, adoring children,â you grumbled. âI get sassy monsters who boss me around.â
âYou raised us like this,â Namjoon said absently.
âI did not, you raised yourselves.â
âSame thing,â both boys speak in unison.
âIâm giving you two away.â
âGood luck living with Yoongi without us,â Seokjin shrugged. âYouâll be begging me to come back by the end of the week.â
âJokeâs on you, this is the end of the week.â
âMy point still stands.â
âOkay, I quit, I wonât win this one,â you literally throw your hands in the air.â
âGood,â Jin grins at you in that cheeky way heâs mastered, taunting you.
âSo whatâs this about the twinâs mom though?â asked Namjoon. âI thought sheâŠâ he trailed off, but you understood what he was saying, or rather, what he didnât want to say. I thought she didnât want them.
âYes and no,â you say. âShe just⊠itâs⊠not exactly complicated, not if I were in her position, but⊠letâs just say, some people are stupid and not everyone has the same priorities.â
âSong Jieun chose to make herself happy over taking care of her kids?â Seokjin translated. âShe didnât want to take them to live with her new husband?â
âMore or less,â You agree, taking note of the bitterness in his tone.
âYouâre not allowed to get married,â Namjoon mumbled from the table.
âExcuse me?â
âYouâre not allowed to leave us or get rid of us because you want to be married,â Namjoon repeated. Heâs obviously still half asleep from the way he lays his head down in his arms, but your heart clenches just a little bit from the casual desperation he speaks with.
âIf I were to get married,â you said, âmy future spouse would know that they come in eighth place anyway. Iâm not getting rid of you, even your original parents would have to fight me. God will have to fight me.â
âBut youâre still not allowed,â said Namjoon.
âDrink your tea, youâre talking crazy,â said Seokjin. âOur guardian will have to actually date first, and we all know that wonât happen.â
âThe disrespect, I tell you!â
Itâs after breakfast and during the chaos of getting seven young boys dressed and prepared for school when Seokjin knocks on your bedroom door frame, wearing an anxious expression.
â... Can I talk to you for a moment?â
âWhatâs up?â you asked. Seokjin walked fully into the room and closed the door.
âAbout⊠the twins? I⊠I donât know what youâre thinking about, and thatâs valid, but⊠I think you should maybe let them see her?â Seokjin didnât fidget like the rest of the kids did. He leaned against the door, arms crossed and focused his eyes fully on you. It was moments like these when you realized exactly how mature your eldest was, and you recognized that most of it wasnât because of you. Namjoon and Yoongi were you. Seokjin had probably been raising himself for longer than heâs lived with you.
âOkay,â you said.
âI just⊠if it was me, I would want to know that she still cared, right? And she does, I guess. You mentioned that she sends them money, and she wrote you a letter asking forgiveness, so that has to mean something. I just donât want them feeling abandoned like the rest of us. Not if they donât have to.â
âIâm just worried that it will confuse them even more,â you admitted. âIt took weeks before Jimin would talk to us openly. Jieun-ssi isnât going to stay. Sheâll come for an afternoon or a day, take the kids out, spoil them, and then bring them back here, and theyâll both be wondering why. And I donât know how to answer that question.â
âWith the truth, obviously,â Seokjin rolled his eyes. âYouâre always straight-forward with us. Why should this be any different?â Because theyâre younger than you were. Because they were given away, not abandoned. Because their parent still cares from a distance. Because I donât like making you all cry. Because picking up pieces has never been fun.
âYeah, I guess youâre right,â you said instead. âIâll think about it.â
âOkay,â Seokjin nodded, and you can see him visibly deflate, relieved to be finished with the conversation. âThatâs all I wanted to say. Donât forget to take your lunch with you.â
âMake sure all the kids have theirs,â you countered.
âItâs funny because you thought I didnât already do that,â
âI love you, Kim Seokjin,â was your response.
âI love you too, I guess.â
=======
Your talk with Seokjin gave you a new perspective, but you still felt apprehensive about everything. You just didnât like the idea of hurting Jimin and Taehyung any more than they already have been. What type of guardian would you be if you just let them walk back into heartbreak? What if this was just a one-time visit and Song Jieun never came to see her children again? What do you do when the boys ask to see her again? You had been lucky that you only had to have one conversation about not being able to take the boys to see their mother in the last six months, but if Jieun could make the time and the trip to come visit, then what will be your excuse now? What if this visit was actually a prelude to taking the boys back home with her?
Oh.
Huh.
So that was the real problem then. You didnât want the boys to leave you. As much as you groaned and complained about taking in so many kids -- usually just to yourself, but sometimes your stress got the better of you in front of the kids -- you loved them. Each one of them, you loved and adored them and the thought of any of them leaving you or being taken away hurt. Not only that, but where in the hell would any of those parents get off, what right did any of them have to come to you and even fix their mouths to ask you for âtheirâ kid back? You had words prepared for each and every so-called âparentâ of all seven of your boys, copies of your lost child police reports, drafts of parental rights transfer papers, the phone number for several NCPA lawyers, and a fist just itching to make contact.
But what if Taehyung and Jimin preferred to be with Jieun anyway? She is their mother. She raised them for years, even if she was Jiminâs stepmother. Youâve only had the âtwinsâ as you and the older boys had taken to calling them, for six months. Why would they want to stay with you?
âOkay, but she didnât say she wants to take the kids,â you told yourself against the slew of depressing thoughts. You retrieved your phone from your pocket and opened your emails. Finally pressed reply. âShe just wants to visit. A visit is⊠safe. Itâll be okay.â
Probably.
=======
Later that day you received a new email. Song Jieun will be in town that weekend. Tomorrow.
It took a lot of effort for you not to swear and make plans to take the kids out of town.
=======
Song Jieun was pretty. She wasnât particularly tall or âskinnyâ like what TV liked to portray, but she was hippy and had a cute face and short hair that she curled most days. She favored dresses with blazers or oversized sweaters and skinny jeans, with pale makeup and dark pink lipsticks. It was easy to pick her out at the cafe she asked to meet at. She sat alone off to the side, a coffee already in front of her, but two plates with fruit-decorated cakes were also placed nearby. You considered telling her that the boys werenât allowed any sweets right now. It wouldnât have been a lie, but it wasnât the whole truth either. They werenât allowed sweet things like cakes until after dinner and only when they behaved well. Still, you decided that was just your frustration and jealousy talking. You didnât want to punish the two boys because of their mother, so you bite your tongue and hold your bitterness and let it go.
âJieun-ssi,â you greet uselessly, as the moment Taehyung and JImin saw her they sprinted across the room to tackle the woman in hugs. Jieunâs smile stretched across her face and she cooed and made cute noises as she greeted her sons in return. You felt something creep in your chest that felt a lot like jealousy. But you werenât jealous. You couldnât be. You just hugged them this morning when they tried to tickle you awake. You held both of their hands from your house to the cafe. You had nothing to be jealous of, they were your kids now.
âHow have you been?â Jieun asked when you sat down across from her. Jimin and Taehyung were already seated and digging into the cakes she bought for them. You barely had a chance to answer before your chatterbox was rattling off every activity heâs done for the last six months to his mother. Jimin grinned and threw in his two-centâs worth every few minutes, but generally let Taehyung carry the conversation for him. And you, in spite of all of the emotions pressing on your chest and clouding your judgement and making you really, really want to shake Song Jieun, you enjoy yourself. You watch your boys -- your boys -- smile and chatter and sing and show off for their mother. You wonder if theyâll be okay going home, if youâll have tears to clean up later, or arguments to break up, or just pieces to sort out and glue, but right now the kids are happy, and right now, thatâs what youâll enjoy.
=======
Taehyung climbed into your bed that night. He should have been asleep an hour ago at least, youâre sure, but heâs seemed to have a lot on his mind since this afternoon, and youâve been letting the kid have his own space to figure out his thoughts. As hyper as he normally is, Taehyung is also prone to moments where he just sits and fiddles and thinks and youâve learned that it doesnât do any good to bother him about it.
âCanât sleep?â Taehyung shook his head as he slid across the blankets to bury his face into your shirt. You curled an arm around his shoulders and held him close.
âMommyâŠâ Taehyung started and trailed off. âIs Mommy happy without me?â
It felt like your heart stopped with the words of his question, but you continued to brush his hair with your fingers. It was a difficult question to answer. You wanted to be honest, but you also didnât want to hurt him. Unfortunately, there werenât too many ways to answer without hurting Taehyung one way or another.
âWhat do you mean?â Taehyung was quiet for another short moment before he spoke again.
âMommy⊠didnât seem sad. And she said sheâll see us another time. And⊠she got married, but she didnât want to keep me and Jiminie⊠So I started wondering⊠is she happy now? Happier than she was before when it was just me and her and Jiminie? Did we -- I donât think -- I --â And the kid seemed to break then, all of the tears that hadnât been shed for six months seeming to finally culminate into an emotional outburst. You shushed him, holding him just a little more tightly, and the fingers in his hair moved down to stroke his back. This was the thing you had wanted to avoid, and while part of you felt satisfied to be right, most of you just fought your own tears. It hurt to see one of your kids so hurt. You arenât a stranger to crying children, but this emotional distress was something that never got better. You thought that maybe Jieun had talked to the boys beforehand, maybe Taehyung had dealt with his emotions before he came to live with you and that was why he seemed so well-adjusted. Clearly, Taehyung had just been living in denial, or maybe with the belief that his mother would come back for him âlater,â that you were only a temporary home.
âThis isnât your fault, Taetae,â you murmured. âYou didnât do anything wrong. Sometimes⊠sometimes adults make hard decisions. We think weâre doing the right thing and⊠sometimes itâs hard to see if weâve made the right choice or not.â You sighed, picking through your words super carefully. âI think⊠I think that your mother made what she thought was the best decision for both herself and for you and Jimin. She believed she would be happy with her new husband. But she did not believe you and Jiminie would be happy. So she put you somewhere that you could be. Does that make sense?â
âYeah, but Iâm still sad,â Taehyung cried harder.
âI know,â you said, âand thatâs okay. I would be sad too.â
âI just want my mommy back,â
âI know.â
âI donât want you to get married,â Taehyung said suddenly, long after his sobs had calmed down. Tears still fell, but slowly now. âI donât want you to send me away too.â
âIf you listen to your Jinnie-hyung, he says that wonât happen because I donât date anyway.â
âMommy didnât date for a long time⊠and then she did. And then she got married.â
âI wonât get rid of you even if I did get married, Taetae,â you told him.
âYouâre still not allowed to get married,â he argued. âOr date. You have to be mine forever and ever, okay?â
âNo matter what, I will be yours forever and ever,â you agreed.
âCan I sleep here tonight?â Taehyung asked. âI'm comfy and you make me not sad.â
âOf course,â you said. âYouâre comfy like a teddy bear, I donât want you to go.â
=======
In the morning, Taehyung was bouncing off the walls, screaming as he chased Jungkook around the house. Jimin was curled into a corner of the sofa, giggling while he watched his brothers play and encouraging Taehyung in his antics. You could hardly tell that Taehyung had an emotional breakdown the previous night. You knew he was far from being âoverâ his feelings about his mother, he was only eight and the feelings were complicated. But he was happy for now and that made you happy. Youâll deal with the noise and the chaos and shout at the kids yet again about running inside where things were breakable including themselves as long as they kept smiling.
Surprisingly, it was Namjoon who came knocking at your door after bedtime that night. Similar to Taehyung, he didnât speak or ask permission, just closed the door behind him and slid into your bed. Buried himself beneath the blankets and stuck his head beneath the pillow and tucked his gangly limbs into a ball. You were familiar with these moods, but havenât seen one in years, not since you took in Seokjin. So you finished the chapter you had been reading, turned off the light, and sank down to lay your head on your pillows. Similar to Taehyung, Namjoon would speak when he was ready, when he found the right words to use to express his feelings.
âYou really wonât get married, right?â Namjoon whispered beneath the pillow next to you. His voice was heavily muffled, but youâd been waiting for him to speak for some time. You just didnât expect for him to continue a joke conversation from several days ago.
âWhatâs wrong with me getting married?â you asked.
âIf you get married, youâll have to get rid of us.â
âThere is no world where I will give up any of you just to get married, Namjoon.â
âBut thatâs what happens, isnât it?â said Namjoon. âAdults⊠if they arenât married, but they have kids⊠they get rid of them so that they can date. Because kids get in the way. Because itâs stupid to take care of other peopleâs kids.â
âWhy does it sound like you just called me stupid?â Your sarcasm probably wasnât appropriate for the moment, but the words slipped before you thought about it.
âWeâre really lucky to have you, we know that,â said Namjoon. âBut that just means --â
âNamjoon, Iâm going to stop you right there,â you cut him off before he finishes. You remove the pillow from his face so that he can hear you clearly, and card your fingers through his hair. âI didnât create any of you. I didnât ask for any of you. But I have you. And I love you. I adore you. I will tear apart skies, drain oceans, and vanquish God if it will keep you all safe and happy, okay? If your parents ever come back for you, I will press charges against them and make it so that they can never look at you, let alone hurt you ever again, do you understand me, Kim Namjoon? You and Yoongi and Jungkook and Seokjin and Hoseok and Taehyung and Jimin, youâre all mine. Youâre my kids, all seven of you, and I will be damned if any lover or spouse, or anything at all, comes between me and you. I donât say that because it sounds good -- although seriously, you have to admit that this is one of my better speeches,â -- at that, Namjoon giggled, the noise muted and soft, but a win was a win -- âbut I say these things because I mean them. I will put a brick in the hospital for you, Joonie.â You hesitate, but continue anyway. âIf it werenât for you, I may have left the country at the end of that year. Teaching is fun, but I wasnât super happy before. But then you asked me to take you home and you were so cute that I got attached almost immediately. I didnât want to take you to the police and have them send you to your parents. I liked having someone to come home to. I liked taking care of you. Most people go get a pet or a lover when theyâre feeling lonely, but hereâs me, collecting kids like youâre pokemon cards.â
âNo one collects pokemon cards anymore,â
âWhat, is Yu-Gi-Oh back in style?â
âWhat even is that?â
âThe coolest card game ever. Period.â Namjoon laughs again, and you feel accomplished.
âItâs not that cool if Iâve never heard of it,â Namjoon argues.
âJoonie. I love you. But even I know you arenât the coolest among your classmates.â
âIâm the coolest out of all my friends!â
âI wonât argue about that. Iâm also sure that in your group of friends, âcoolestâ means âknows the biggest words and has the best grades.ââ
âYouâre just jealous,â
âAbsolutely. I wish I knew as many words as you do. Imagine how much fun Iâd have fussing at you kids in Smart People language!â
âWhy are you like this?â
âPlease, other kids wish they had someone as cool as me taking care of them.â
Namjoon cuddled closer to you in the bed, laying his head on your shoulder and gripping your pajama shirt. You spend a few minutes massaging his scalp, a soothing gesture for you just as much as it is for him. After a few minutes, you begin drifting off, believing Namjoon is on the verge of sleep as well.
âAre you really okay?â he asks. âWith taking care of all of us? You donât⊠want to go back home?â
âI am home, silly,â you flick the side of his head gently. âI love you. And even if I wanted to go back to my home country, donât think I wonât take each one of you with me. I said youâre mine. I mean it.â
âOkay.â
And itâs not that you donât believe him, but you know your kid. You know he internalizes things and finds convoluted ways to take blame for other peoplesâ problems, including your own. You know it will be a while yet before he truly accepts and believes you when you say you want to keep him and enjoy taking care of him. But you also know that he wants to believe you and heâs trying. You idly wonder if youâll have to have some sort of discussion in the morning, an announcement over breakfast that no children will be displaced in the event of an unlikely wedding. You dismiss the thought, deciding it was more likely to incite panic and give you a headache more than anything else.

A/N: Sorry for the bad summary, Iâve never been good at those! This first chapter doesnât include an awful lot of Lee but the next part will be very Lee heavy! There will only be two other parts for this mini-series, maybe another or so if I extend my ideas.
Enjoy!
The baby she held on her hip just would not stop crying. Tears stained her own eyes as she felt at her ropes end looking at her baby's red face. Nothing she had done to make her baby feel better was working. When Y/n stared at her small face, the one that looked so much like her father's, she searched for a clue on what could be the problem. All she got back was a look of anguish. She wondered if her daughter's eyes mirrored her own emotion.
"What's wrong baby? What's wrong?" She asked as if she was genuinely going to get an answer from her. Her soft voice didn't assuage the baby's cries. What baby doesn't love the sound of their own mother's voice?
Y/n tried stroking her little girls back to calm her, tried feeding her, burping her, changing her, and putting her down to sleep but all of those things failed miserably. Her daughter continued to scream her little lungs out. The tears were beginning to dry up, but she still wailed. Y/n worried if something was wrong and if they needed to go to the hospital. Her husband wasn't home and she didn't want to cause anymore trouble for him, or herself.
"Are you hot? Wanna step outside?"
She did her best to open the backdoor without dropping her daughter. The rush of cool air as she stepped onto the back porch did more to help her than it did her daughter. The porch light was nearly as loud as the cries; it was one of the first noises she had heard in hours that was something other than her daughter. She got lost in the noise as she peered into the darkness of their backyard that stared back at her. She had been afraid of the dark when she was younger, always needing a night light until she reached her teen years. It was safe here in Brewer Heights, but something about the vast darkness gave her a creeping feeling. It felt endless.
The night air was doing nothing to help her anymore, and she worried that her neighbors would hear the baby cries and think something was terribly wrong.
"Let's go inside."
The songs she often sang to her daughter that her own mother sung to her when she was younger normally made her giggle and smile. Tonight, however, it was just another thing to add to the list of things that failed to calm her down.
Around midnight she finally heard the front door opening and the heavy footsteps of her husband trudging into their home. A groan followed when he heard the sounds of his daughter crying pierce the air.
"Lee," Y/n exasperated. She came out of nowhere, blindsiding him and begging, "please take her."
Lee didn't even get a second to take his jacket off, nor was he going to be able to relax like he had planned to after his long day. This situation paled in comparison to what he had to deal with at the station today. A domestic dispute, a robbery, a bar fight that ended in a stabbing, and hefty loads of paperwork that came along with it.
"She just won't stop crying Lee."
He said nothing to Y/n as he eyed her. Y/n understood what the look he gave her meant, but she was too concerned with making the crying stop. Lee held his arms open to take the girl into his arms.
"What's wrong darlin'?" He cooed at her. He held her close, snuggling her into him and his warmth
Lee had to temper his annoyance. He didn't want to come home to a screaming baby and a helpless wife, but he was weakened by the desperation radiating off of Y/n.
"What's wrong little girl? You like givin' your mama hell?"
Y/n sighed as the screams began to die down. The sinking feeling that she was an awful mother for not being able to get her baby to calm down was present. The worst thought to cross her mind was that Lee also thought the same. She didn't want to be the wife who couldn't raise her own child and was too dependent on her husband. Lee was admittedly more present in child rearing than her own father. However, she had only started becoming so fussy in the last few months when her father decided to run for Mayor and spent more time at work than at home with his family.
When their girl was born, Lee spent an eternity staring at her face; her features were so similar to his at a young age, but with her mother's lips. Hours after her existence in this word, Lee promised his wife would be home more, maybe he'd even hire a few new officers to handle the countless petty crimes that end up on his desk. Y/n believed his promise, but it changed when he out of nowhere declared that he was going to run for mayor.
"You enjoy being the sheriff's wife. I'm certain you'd love being the mayor's wife even more. And now that we got a baby, my chances are even better."
All of her years of being Lee's wife and she never heard him express any interest in being mayor. Sure he got off on power of any type, but he never uttered the words "mayor" unless he was talking about some trouble the mayor's son ran into. But Lee did always make it clear that his career and maintaining his position was a top priority for him. Y/n often missed the man who did his best to court her and was successful after a few failed attempts. He changed a bit when they started trying for a child, but Y/n could always see it in his face that his old habits will die with him.
"She misses her father."
Lee didn't turn around to acknowledge her. He just rocked his daughter back and forth, ignoring Y/n until she began to move out of the living room.
"Be ready when I get up there," Lee called to her.
Y/n wondered how harsh he would be, or if he would be at all? When he was this on edge he liked to keep Y/n in line; he couldn't go to a stressful work environment and come home to the same. He was always gentle with their daughter and that's all that mattered. Y/n could endure his brutality, but her daughter did not deserve it when she just didn't understand much. She would be too young to remember anything but Y/n would never forget.
She washed up in the bathroom, wiping away the sweat and tears that had clung to her face throughout the day. Her appearance in the mirror looked foreign to her. Her body had changed since giving birth, something that was expected, but she looked more rugged due to stress. Lee didn't realize that whatever he felt, Y/n felt it even harder. When he ices her out, she tries to understand but the feelings of inadequacy had piled up inside of her.
Lee put their daughter to bed without much trouble. She looked so peaceful, a stark difference from the screaming she was doing when he stepped into their home. He wondered how such a sweet little thing could cause so much hell. She was completely innocent yet she made her mama cry and nearly tear her hair out. Lee felt bad for his wife having to spend days alone without help, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he didn't feel that bad.
He was still in his jacket and hat when he finally came into their bedroom. He was well-intentioned on taking a longer shower tonight but he felt all worked up. His body felt tense, but seeing his wife sitting obediently on the bed made him loosen up.
"Pretty, little nightgown," Lee whispered to himself. Y/n's face burned at his compliment. She'd never get used to him being sweet on her.
Y/n held her breath, unsure of which side of Lee she was going to get tonight. She picked out the cream nightie that reached mid-thigh. She knows just how much Lee loves her legs, he has fawned over them since they were dating, and she hoped that the sight of them would make him go easy on her. Her nipples poked through her nightgown; she was going to be leaking in the morning but her only concern was giving Lee something that would make him soften up.
She melted into the palm that was placed on her cheek. He looked down at her, his ego still stronger than ever. He was a powerful man with a strong possibility to grasp even more power, and a pretty fucking wife. He's lucky that she gave him the time of day when she had the option to run off to Cincinnati with a pretty boy. Lee was older than her other suitors, but that's what made him enticing to her then 20 year-old self.
"I overheard Phil talking about the Sheriff's wife today," Lee began to stroke her cheek as she purred up at him, "was wonderin' why a stunner like her was with a fat bastard."
"Don't call yourself that," she cut him off. He had gained a significant amount of weight since he began finding solace in sweets. She feels bad because it began when she was three months pregnant and had him bring her back something sweet everyday. Her cravings turned into his, but the difference was that hers went away after giving birth but Lee's never did. Besides, Y/n found it endearing. Maybe it's just because she's wildly in love with her husband, but she couldn't deny how much she loved to feel the weight of his belly on her back when he took her from behind and pressed her face against the bed.
"You're so sensitive, Y/n. You think I give a damn about what a man who can't keep a girlfriend for more than two months has to say about me? He was right about one thing though," Lee began to unzip his work pants, "I do have a pretty wife with a pretty mouth too."
Y/n's face burned and her eyes moved away from his. Years of marriage, a baby later, and she was still bashful when he made such sexually charged comments.
Lee pulled himself out of his pants. He was hard, the tip dripping with pre-cum. From the look of it, he had probably been hard since the late hours of his work shift. Y/n hoped that he thought of her, she always did, but she knew that station was littered with smut magazines; Lee didn't see too fond of them though.
Y/n wrapped her hand around him and gave him a light squeeze just to feel how hard he was. He grunted and more pre-cum seeped from his tip. He was going to make a mess of her gown and exposed thighs if she didn't get him in her mouth.
"Good girl...always so good for me," he sighed in content.
He placed his hand on the back of her head and she welcomed him deeper into her mouth. Moments like this and all of his stress goes away. There is no county to oversee, no mayoral election, and no whispers; just his wife's wet mouth and something else that's wet between her legs. He felt at home inside of her. She sucked on him harder and his hips stuttered. Y/n did her very best to please him, to make him proud. His sweet little wife looked so wicked with his cock in her mouth.
"You keep that up and I'm going to fall over," he said through his pants.
Y/n looked up at him with innocent eyes. She was far from that when they were alone in their marriage bed. Y/n was anything Lee needed her to be, even without asking.
Lee grabbed ahold of her head and started to thrust into Y/n's mouth. She kept herself still, letting him take control of her. Her tongue applied pressure to the bottom of his shaft. His hips bucked as he lightly fucked her face until he was cumming into her mouth. She gagged when the liquid first splashed against the back of her throat, but she quelled herself and swallowed him completely, just how he likes.
"Let me see," she stuck her tongue out to show him that his seed was no longer in her mouth and he smirked, "good girl." He patted the top of her head and zipped himself back up.
"I'll be in bed soon, but don't wait up for me."
He could see how her body was begging for rest just in the way she lazily moved and the tiredness in her eyes. She wakes up before him every morning to make him breakfast, thus making her days longer than his. She didn't get up to much like he did, but long hours of nothing had probably dulled her. It was even worse when you add a screaming baby to the situation.
Y/n wanted to wait for Lee to come back to bed despite him advising against it. However, as soon as her head hit the pillow, she was out. There were no sad cries from her daughter and no worrying about where Lee.
------------------------------------------
The sound of sizzling bacon in the cast iron skillet and percolator going in off was louder than Leeâs footsteps coming down the stairs in his heavy boots and jacket. He paused in the doorway, his daughter the only one to notice his presence in the room. A smile formed on his face as she squealed in delight and reached her arms out for him. Y/n looked over her shoulder to see her looking at Lee. Sheâs surprised that he came down for breakfast later than usual, but she was happy to see that he seemed to be in good spirits.
"You're going to be uncomfortable eating breakfast in that."
"I might not be able to stay for breakfast,â he tutted while smoothing the downy hairs on his daughterâs head.
Y/n furrowed her brow, but didn't protest. She continued with breakfast anyway. She felt Leeâs presence next to her as he pulled a teething ring out of the freezer. There were two little teeth coming in that contributed to last night's meltdown. She was much happier this morning after a good sleep; she was so oblivious to the world and everything happening around her.
The phone rang disrupting their regular morning routine. It was 7 am, too early for anyone to be calling. Lee picked it up anyway; his face first confused then sullen. Y/n couldn't help but try to eavesdrop when Lee turned away from the kitchen and walked away as far as the cord would allow him. Surely whatever he was talking about on the phone, he would tell Y/n. He always complained about whoever he had talked to on the phone. But, he had become more secretive since he entered the mayorâs race. He didnât want her to worry, or worse, go around blabbing to one of her girlfriendâs or her parents about something Lee told her in confidence. Besides most of it was information that he didnât think would interest her.
"Alright...I'll talk to you soon...take care."
Y/n busied herself with cooking again to cover up her nosiness. Lee stepped back in the room spilling the moment he put the phone back on the hook.
"People in town are talking."
"About what?"
"About me."
There was something about the way he talked to her that made Y/n believe he wasnât telling the complete truth, or that the talking town was something much worse.Â
Y/n was not fully aware of Leeâs reputation when she had met him. She knew of him, and also wondered why a man like him was talking to her when she was fit for being a housewife at the time. Over time she learned that Lee didn't have the cleanest reputation. Little bits and pieces would be revealed to her, but by the time she heard the most damning things about him the two were already married; and the information came from Lee himself. While Y/n didnât want to concern herself with what others thought about Lee, she absolutely did. His position depended on what people thought about him. Y/n believed that their marriage and the birth of their daughter made people see Lee in a different light. Y/n was a very nice, bright girl from a good family. She turned Lee into a family man and a man who doted on his baby girl and treated his wife sweeter than people expected from him. Whispers about him had gotten quieter when her belly became visible under her dresses. No one looked at Lee with contempt or worry anymore, they gazes softened when they saw him walking with his waddling wife.
Shortly after Lee became her boyfriend, Y/n began to hear about some of the rumors that followed Lee throughout the years. She had been told he was corrupt, frequented a local brothel, and turned a blind eye as long as he got something out of it. She was so naive to believe that people were just jealous of her. There were some women who wanted the sheriff from themselves. A year or two into her marriage, Lee began to confide in her about some things. It would only happen when he was drunk. He'd say a thing and Y/n would ask him to elaborate and he would. Covering up murders, drug deals, and allowing the brothel to stay open as long as he "got a sample" was all true. No one else in the town knew the extent of his troubling choices while on the job. Y/n didn't know what to say. He had done bad things, but he was her husband, she took an oath.
Y/n often imagined what would happen if she had told someone about his confessions. He was already the sheriff when they got married, and who would cross the sheriff? She believed that if she ever said anything he'd divorce her, spread lies about her, and she'd end up an outcast. Her options were very few especially now that she has a young child. Her fear and her devotion to him as a wife kept her silent. She has loved Lee since their third date; she wasn't going to throw her life away with him over her husbandâs business that didnât concern her. They made a promise to each other in front of family, friends, and God. Lee's burdens would become hers, and the same goes for Lee's darkness.
"Someone's been sayin that one of the girls' at that whore house been sayin' I beat her."
Lee seemed to explain it to her with ease, like he knew it wasn't true, but Lee was a good liar.
"Well, did you?"
"Why would you ask something like that?"
Lee started towards her and Y/n partially expected him to chastise her. He wouldn't do anything with their daughter a few feet away from them, she assured herself.
"You really think I'm stepping into a whore house when I come home to you every night?" His arms wrapping around her waist made Y/n smile. This is what Lee did often to deter her from asking many more questions, and it always worked, she melted right into his arms. "The last time I was in that place was to arrest someone for causing a fight, and it damn sure wasn't a whore I roughed up."
Y/n wasn't satisfied with the answer, but she nodded as if she was. She knew not to question him after he had given her an answer he deemed fit. No woman wants to believe that their husband would be at a brothel getting âservicedâ. She never found signs of another woman on Lee's clothes or his car. All she'd come across was dirt on the bottom of his pants and candy wrappers in his car. "You've got to believe me Y/n." His eyes spoke the truth, she believed. Y/n pecked his lips and Leeâs arms dropped from her waist.
"Sorry I can't stay for breakfast, but if I want to get back home earlier then I have to go in early. You two girls have fun together," Lee kissed Y/n's lips again before walking over to his daughter and kissing her forehead. She giggled when she felt his lips on her head. He was happy to see her in a better mood, but he didn't want a repeat of last night, "don't give your mama such a hard time today, okay? If I hear you been bad, I'm gonna have to put you in baby jail." She had no idea what he was saying, she just enjoyed hearing her daddy's voice.
"Be safe Lee. Please."
He nodded at her sympathetically before leaving. She heard his patrol car rev up and he was pulling out of the driveway. Y/n worries so much, but every night Lee has come home to her without a scratch on him.
------------------------------------------
Paul Sullivan has been the mayor for as long as Y/n could remember. Heâs getting up and age but heâs a very beloved man. His popularity made Y/n worry about Leeâs own chances. The only thing that could knock the man down was his sonâs reckless behavior. Darrel Sullivan was a few years younger than Lee and had a penchant for hard liquor and trouble. When his name started being involved in almost weekly bar fights, people started to wonder how a man as good as Paul could raise a son like that?
Lee had used the mayorâs trouble kid to his advantage. It just so happened that once Lee decided to run, Darrel ran into even more trouble. The last offense ended him up with a three month jail sentence (of course his father was responsible for such a lower number of months he spent in jail). A baggy of cocaine was found in his car. When did the mayorâs son escalate to cocaine when his vice had only been alcohol for years?
âIt was bound to happen at some point. That boyâs brain is so used to booze that he had to turn to something much harder.â
The talk of the town had satisfied Lee for weeks after the arrest.
Y/n didnât have to be told by him to know that the cocaine wasnât Darrelâs and that it was planted. She felt bad for Darrel, but he wasnât so nice to women so maybe some time in jail would do him and everyone around him some good. Still, Y/n was sort of shocked to see what lengths her husband would go to win. He often played dirty to get what he wanted, but messing with the mayorâs son who has evaded so much trouble was a very close call. Lee was lucky that he got away with it and many people didnât have questions about it.
That phone Lee received this morning spooked her a bit. No one has ever called just to say there were rumors about him. It was a much bigger problem than her husband wanted to let on.
Y/n did her best to campaign upon Leeâs behalf. Sheâd tell all the girls at the salon about the newest dress Lee bought her and let the strangers know who stopped to tell her kid was cute just who her father was. Her efforts didnât go unnoticed either. Her closest girlfriends were always eager to tell her that they overheard someone talking about how wonderful Leeâs wife and daughter are. Y/n believed that she wasnât going to have to do much more than that, but some people didnât care much about pretty wives or cute babies when the sheriff was allegedly causing trouble.Â
Leeâs approach lately has been much more careful. He canât get caught planting evidence on the wrong person or having someone rat him out. He was growing increasingly paranoid that the townsfolk were watching him closely. Even his deputies got the brunt of some of his delusions. Y/n saw the wild look in his eye every time he would confide his problems to her. Sometimes his words would blend together in a drunken ramble. Bodies...the river...laundering. He scared her sometimes, but she didnât say anything. Y/n knows her husband has at least killed someone in cold blood; he confessed it in so many words. She wouldnât be surprised if it has happened two or three times. She didnât concern herself with the circumstances. If Lee had killed someone then it was probably justified in the eyes of morality and it wasnât her business.
All of his revelations hardened her. She stopped being shocked after the fourth time Lee let something slip. Lee had never been violent with her the entirety of their relationship. He gets mad, he yells, and he has been guilty of calling her a name or two, but never ever has he laid a finger on her. Y/n was mostly an obedient wife so Lee never found a reason to be forceful with her. The only time Lee took out any aggression was on her was in the bedroom, but he figured she liked it because sheâd moan louder than when heâs most gentle with her. Y/n wasnât too fond of it at first, but she learned to love it and all the rough edges that began to appear as the years together had gone on.
âHereâs the plan for today, little one. Youâre going to spend some time with the nice neighbor girl and youâre going to be a very good girl for her, okay? Okay honey?â
Her daughter just looked up at her from her little pallet on the floor. The toys that surrounded her were mostly bought by Lee. There were a few from her parents, but Lee was responsible for buying her too many toys.
While Y/n had never considered hiring a nanny before, it was often suggested to her. Lee even told her to hire some help before the days get too rough and he's gone for longer throughout the day. However, Y/n was always hard-headed. She didnât need the help, this was just a tough time with their daughterâs teeth coming in. Besides Y/nâs mother was just a phone call away. She always had an answer for Y/n that came from her years of being a midwife and from raising her own children.Â
The only reason why she was calling over the Peterson's teenage daughter to come babysit was because she couldnât help Lee in the ways that were needed and bring her baby along with her. Normally sheâd put her daughter in her stroller and they were out and about, but this wasn't a regular daily task. It was summertime and her neighbor's daughter probably needed something to do while making some money on top of it.
"Does she need to go down for a nap, Mrs. Bodecker?"
"Not for another hour or two. She shouldn't be hungry or wet. Her teeth are starting to come in so she may get fussy, her teething ring is in the freezer and if that doesn't work then sing Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star to her."
Y/n knew it was a lot for the 16-year-old girl to take in, but she still nodded at every word Y/n said as if she got it all. Of all the little time her daughter had been here on Earth, Y/n had not left her alone with a stranger. It was hard for her to say goodbye to her little girl and leave her with a teenager, but it was bound to happen someday. And the afternoon was almost over, her day was calling for her to begin it.
Lee would be so pissed if he learned that Y/n was driving his car. She wasn't that great with the manual transmission, but she was only taking a short trip to her parent's house. Her brother was home to visit from Cincinnati. He was the child who went to the city unlike his sister. His original plan was to stay while Y/n wanted to go, but she had met Lee and decided to stay. Her brother never explained to her why he left for the city. She didnât want to ask him too much in fear of prying into his business.
Y/n's parents were incredibly happy about Y/nâs relationship with Lee because that meant their only daughter was bound to stay near them. Her father respected Lee and often disregarded the townâs gossip because he saw it just as that: gossip. Â
Her brother David was a different story. He didn't really like his brother-in-law. The age gap between them was his biggest concern. âDonât meddle in your sisterâs life. Lee is a good man,â Â there mother had once tried to persuade him. It was tough when he heard rumors that Y/n didn't even know about at the time because she was younger. He moved to the city before he could hear just how worse things have gotten with the gossip about Lee Bodecker. David wasn't too thrilled to return for Y/n and Leeâs wedding.
Y/n found his disdain with Lee rather comical. Lee was a protective older brother just like David was, but they just couldn't see eye to eye. She recalls the Christmas fight that happened three years ago. David nearly kicked Lee's ass but his little sister protected her husband by shielding him. Y/n didn't want to involve herself, but if she had to pick where her loyalty lied, it would be with her husband.
"Why you stop by without bringing my gorgeous, little niece?" David wrapped his arms around his sister, surprised to see her pulling up by herself, but happy nonetheless.
"You can come over any time to see her David," Y/n ignores the frown that falls on her brother's face, "are mom and pop home?"
"Ma's at the salon and pop is outback cutting up some wood. I tried to stop him. His arthritis is getting worse, but he gives Ma and I hell every time we tell him to slow down. Is everything alright?"
"Yes. I just need a favor."
If she was asking her visiting big brother for help instead of her husband or their father, then it must be something she's trying to keep quiet. David was weary about his sister being secretive when she has an eight month old baby at home. In his eyes, if she's sneaking around then it's some sort of trouble.
"What kind?"
"Can I borrow your truck?" Y/n didn't elaborate, she just hoped that he'd say yes.
She can't go around town driving in a familiar car. Lee's personal car was too expensive not to notice and her father's truck had a damn logo on it. David's car though was perfect; no one would recognize the plates because he bought it two years ago from a dealership in Cincinnati, but it would blend in with any car that would be driven in Brewer Heights.
"Is something wrong with the cadillac?"
"No. I just don't want to be noticed. You know Lee doesnât like me driving around in his fancy car."
If it wasn't for the immense trust David had in his sister, he'd say no. Something about her was off; her sweet demeanor replaced by something more discomposed. It was the same look on her face the night he had caught her trying to sneak out of the house when she was 14. Whatever she wanted to do, it would probably be better handled by someone else, but he didn't ask anymore questions, just handed her the keys.
âGet back before it gets dark, and be safe.â
âYou sound just like pop,â she tried to joke to mitigate his worry but he kept a stern look on his face.
âIâm serious Y/n.â
"I'll be back soon," she promised. Of course she would, she has a child at home.
David watched her peel out of the dirt driveway and his car disappeared from sight. He only worried because he didnât know what the problem was and she looked like she was dying to say something. Maybe in due time sheâll be able to tell her brother everything. Maybe theyâll laugh about it when the years have passed and theyâre up in age.Â
The streets started to become unrecognizable as she drove away from her parentâs home and a much different part of the county. Y/n struggled to materialize the exact location of her destination but from what she had gathered it was at the edge of town, almost entering a different county. All she's ever heard about it was that it was in a "shady part of Knockemstiff." âShadyâ meant so many different things because she found the bar that Lee liked to stop at sometimes after a shift to be âshady.â
She hoped to God that Lee was stuck at the office with paperwork and not out patrolling. The sun was going to be setting soon and if he caught her over here all alone past dark, he may just never let her leave the house ever again.
Y/n was not ready to admit what she had planned, especially not to Lee. She herself hadnât reckoned with it herself. The station her brother had on annoyed her. She turned it off and sat in silence. The only noise that accompanied her was the whirling sound of the wind that slipped through the cracked window. Her eyes peered at every building until they became less frequent. She could hear her blood moving through her veins as she gripped the steering wheel. Did Lee get this way when he did something he wasnât supposed to? Surely he would be more composed than her, but he has the experience.Â
She tried to lighten herself up by putting herself in Leeâs shoes. He probably wouldnât hesitate or second guess his actions. If he did it, he most likely believed that the end justifies the means. No one who was innocent was ever hurt. They may have not committed a crime at the time, but they had before and would do it again. Y/n would have her own confessions to tell Y/n some day. She doesnât need alcohol to spill her sins. Leeâs presence alone was compelling enough to get her to divulge her crimes, even the harmless ones.
The fact that sheâs been driving around for a good half-an-hour lessened her anxiety but increased her impatience. She didnât realize just how big the county was. Itâs been a while since she drove herself anywhere. It was freeing, but she did miss her husband acting as her chauffeur. The thought of Lee driving her to the very brothel he has been accused of frequenting before he was a married man was comical. The consequences of her getting caught was only scary when she thought about how Lee would react.Â
There was a large clearing of land before Y/n reached another set of buildings. A memory about one of them made her pump the break before passing the entry to turn in. She made a sharp turn into it's parking lot. Jimmy, her high school boyfriend, tried to sneak her into some bar but she was caught about her brother who also happened to be there. She remembered the distinct color of the door; neon green. It was an eyesore but it had never been changed, even when they switched owners. The place had closed down years later due to an excess of minors being able to sneak in.Â
The crappy bar was not her concern, but the place next to it. She remembers Jimmyâs distinct voice whispering in her ear, the smell of alcohol ripe on his breath.
"That's where the girls who got nothing but good pussy between their legs go."
She had flinched at the words he used. She wondered what he meant by that, only 14 at the time and not really able to comprehend the concept of a brothel. It was the first time she's heard anyone refer to a woman's private parts as a "pussy..
Y/n didnât expect the parking lot to be so empty. It was pretty early in the evening, maybe people did not want to be at a whore house when there was still daylight. Only one car sat in the parking lot of the bar. There was a makeshift parking lot on the side of the building and next to the old bar. It looked like it was not taken care of properly and a fire hazard waiting to happen.Â
She circled around the building, eyeing it to see if there were windows to see inside somehow. Only a few small windows were on the building, but they were either foggy or covered in moss that it was a futile attempt.. Tire markings covered the dirt right in the back of the building. Y/n figured that most people parked back here so they wouldnât get caught by any passing cars or authority. There was not much that could kill a manâs reputation like being caught in this place.Â
Y/n settled for parking her car on the side of the bar. The likelihood of someone driving by and being able to see the plates of her brotherâs car was very slim, but she found herself being extra careful.
Upon her arrival at the door, Y/n told herself she had no idea what she's doing, nor what she should expect. It probably wasn't common for a woman to walk into a whore house unless she was a whore herself. She hoped that she was unrecognizable with her usually pinned-up hair cascaded over her shoulders and a different shade of lipstick on her lips. The sunglasses were a last minute, ridiculous purchase, but it gave her a layer of protection. At least she could wear a disguise, Lee didnât have anything to protect his identity when he did his own sinful acts. The least she could do for her husband is to not get herself caught.
Y/n wonders if Lee hadnât been so secretive, would she have to do this? Lee did his best to hide things from his wife, but she isn't stupid, she goes out in town and hears things about her husband. Those rumors weren't small like he tried to lead on. "Someone" always meant more than ten people. In her eyes, this had been a long time coming; it was only a matter of time before she got sucked into his world without the intention of doing so. She could only feel so compelled to protect a man no matter the consequences if she loved him more than life itself.Â
If he wanted to be secretive under the guise of âprotectingâ her then fine, but she hated that she had to piece everything together on her own. She heard his late night conversations when he failed to make sure she was sleeping. Whoever he talked to, they talked about a lot of things that didnât sound wholly legal. From what she picked up from his phone call concerning this dilemma was that the owner of this place was referred to as âReedâ. He didn't seem too fond of Lee, and from the sound of her husbandâs voice, the feeling was mutual. She had trouble keeping up with all the technical jargon of Leeâs phone conversations, but from her understanding Lee was threatening to get the place shut down. It would be a good look for him in his bid for being mayor. He would look like a hero if all the crime and sleaziness of this county was suddenly dealt with. Maybe theyâd put his picture in the newspaper and dedicated a lengthy article to him and Y/n could clip it to the refrigerator.Â
No one would think twice about connecting the dots that Lee was connected to several illegal operations going on around the county. Of all the rumors she has heard about Lee, the whore house bothered her most. It made her feel vain that she was only concerned with her husband cheating on her and not potential murders he has committed. Insecurity crept into her as she visualized her husband stepping through these exact same doors and finding his pleasure in a woman that had more experience than her. She did believe her husband when he said he hadn't stepped out on her while they were married, but that didnât include their entire relationship. It shouldnât matter because she was the one he decided to marry, but it still lingered in the back of her mind.
Her body shook to the core as she opened the door. She swallowed thickly as she wondered what sight she would be greeted by. It was an anti-climatic moment when she fully stepped inside to an empty place. It looked like a makeshift motel lobby and bar at the same time. Y/n thought it would be something more shabby and slimy, but it was not. Some pin-up model posters were plastered on the wall along with photos of random musicians. There were oddly a lot of photos of Frank Sinatra that had their own little corner of the wall. It was hard to determine what the vibe of this âestablishmentâ was. One thing for sure is that she felt like an intruder. The posers on the wall made her feel stupidly bashful; this was a manâs domains and not a place for someoneâs wife.
"Can I help you darlin?"
The smooth voice belonged to an older man. Y/n figured he was âReedâ because he looked like a Reed. And he appeared to be the only person here. She doubts a random patron would take to cleaning the place up by sweeping the floors.
"Uh -- are you Mr. Reed?"
Surprisingly, he just laughed at her stumbling over her words. It hadnât dawn on her prior to a few moments ago that he knew his way around talking to a nervous girl. She ironically hoped that he thought she was just a lost whore, and that she wasnât recognized as the sheriffâs wife.
"I am darlinâ. Is there something I can help you with?" He asked again. Y/n was surprised that he wasn't intimidating, or greasy. He seemed so simple and kind, but he just happened to run a brothel. And he was the man who was saying awful things about her husband.
"I'm looking for a job," she made sure her words were as natural as possible. The little script she created in her head seemed like it would be easy to see-through, "I-Iâm just wondering if you were looking for a waitress or someone to clean the place?"
A sly smile spread across his face. A shiver ran down her spine as she felt just how insidious this man was. A glance at him and he was unsuspecting, but a few moments with him, especially when heâs alone with a pretty girl and his true nature was hard to hide.
"You've come to a good place, darlinâ. Let me put this away and I'll show you to my office."
He put the broom he held back into a closet and beckoned for her to follow him. Her heart thumped loudly as she followed him to potential danger. He could assault her or do something worse if he really wanted to. She was vulnerable now and just had to trust the process.Â
They had passed multiple doors to get to his office, probably the doors where the girls would stay and please customers. Y/n tried not to imagine Lee being behind one of those doors with a woman touching his body. This place smelled like tawdry perfume, luckily something she has never smelled on Leeâs clothes.
"Do you have any experience waitressing?" He said the word as if he wanted her to believe that this place was anything but a brothel. For him it was possible that she really thought this place was something innocent, but he could always persuade a pretty girl who looked lost to work for him.Â
"A few years...I was a waitress with my friend in Columbus for a year."
"Columbus? Why did you leave darlinâ?" Y/n wanted to cringe at his constant pet name. No man talked to her like that besides her husband. It felt dirty to hear him call her something reserved for Lee and Lee only.
"Got into some trouble. My ex roughed me up a bit and I had to leave," Y/n recalled the story her brother told about one of his college friends: a homely sorority girl who got caught up with the wrong guy. She felt bad using the poor girl's story and reclaiming it as her own, but a sob story would make this man more likely to take her in if she guessed correctly.
"Well, I don't know if I'm taking anymore girls in-"
"Please!? Please? I don't have anywhere else to go. I really need the money and a place to stay. It was hell getting up here," she implored.Â
Hearing her beg like that made his cock harden in his pants. There was something about a sweet little thing begging for his help that turned him on. He had no intention of turning her away from the beginning, but it was also nice to know how desperate a girl was; that made it easier for him to get a taste for himself.
However, Reed was either too horny or just an idiot to realize that a girl who had been traveling alone and from Columbus wouldn't be wearing such a nice dress that looked untouched. He was a sadistic bastard who liked employing girls that he can push around and Y/n was beginning to see that due to his negligence.
 His appearance absolutely covered up for how mean he was. Most bruises that ended up on his girls weren't from customers, but from him. He had to control himself when customers started to complain about the marks on the girls. (It was not like they cared for their well-being, they just wanted to fuck girls who were looked clean and pretty. Those men just wanted their fantasies fulfilled). His rage was taken out in psychological ways now instead of physical. He made sure those girls were in hell with no escape. He was sweeter on them if they opened their legs for him, but he was well aware that he could get away with doing whatever he wanted to them because they had nowhere else to go. If Y/n knew half the stuff he did then she wouldn't feel as guilty for what she was planning to do to him.
"I don't just hire anyone -- say, whatâs your name darlinâ?"
"Mary. My name is Mary."
"You gotta prove you deserve to work for me, Mary. Why don't you stand up and turn around for me."
Y/n dreaded following his orders, obeying him and spinning around slowly in her dress for him. The only man she had done that for was Lee. She felt like she was cheating on him, but she remembered that it was for him. His face was etched in her mind the entire time. The thought of him comforted her as she pretended like he was there with her as if he was Godâs spirit, wrapping her in a feeling of vengeance instead of love.
"You sure are a pretty little thing. You been fucked before?"
"Once. Just by my ex-boyfriend."
"Good. I'm sure that pussy is still tight, I can just say you're a virgin and make one of those fuckers pay a heavy price for a piece of you."
Y/n nearly looked at him in horror, but gave him a half-hearted smile instead. She would act like she was grateful for him giving her a chance to make money. Her stomach churned at the thought of possibly not making it out of here. Reedâs eyes had darkened once he knew that she was in his grasp with no easy escape. He was a big man who could easily overpower her if she tried to do something stupid. But she seemed so obedient, like a perfect little girl.
"I can get you a bed, but you're going to have to reuse the clothes that are in there already. The girl who stayed there last up and ran away,â Y/n was very doubtful about that. Reed began rummaging through his drawer, pulling out a bottle of liquor before continuing, âIf they don't fit you can trade with one of the other girls. You and the rest of the girls stay in your room until it's time to open. Can't have any of you roaming around in case one of those bastard cops decide to give me some trouble."
Her eyes glanced at the clock on the wall, it was nearly 8 oâclock. She did not think it would go this smoothly so far. Her anxiety didnât cause her to make any major flubs that would get her caught; she just came off as an unsuspecting girl. Y/n just didnât realize how simple a man could be in the presence of an attractive woman.
"Place opens at 9 every night, âcept for Sundays. Iâm going to let you go get ready soon but I need you to learn my rules before you go out there and do something to piss me off," he shuffled in his seat for a few seconds, his face painted with discomfort, "first I need to go piss. Can you stay here and wait for me darlinâ? Of course you can,â he left without waiting for a response from her.
Y/n waited until he opened his office door and closed it behind him. She had limited time to do what she had to do. She quickly moved behind his desk and began to fly through his drawers looking for arsenic.
There was a conversation she remembers Lee having with one of the men in town when they stopped in the middle of an aisle at the grocery store to talk. Most men believed that their wives werenât interested in listening to whatever theyâve got to talk about with other men. Or that they just donât understand what the hell theyâre talking about. That may be true for Y/n most of the time but her ears perked up when she had heard certain words. Y/n had a penchant for being nosey ever since she was a kid, but it usually got her in trouble. She tried not to eavesdrop on Leeâs conversations but he made it so hard when he started to whisper and look around to make sure no one else was near.Â
A word like "syphilis" had Y/n scratching her head. She hadn't heard of it before but apparently a man in town died from it after contracting it "at the whore house." It sounded serious. and from the context, something you get from fucking someone without a condom.
 A few books at the library confirmed her suspicions. She had to re-read some sentences to fully grasp what she was reading. From what she gathered, syphilis was treated with âmagicâ arsenic before they switched to penicillin. However, with Mr. Reed being referred to as a "cheapâ and âold schoolâ man multiple times in Leeâs conversation with the man at the grocery store, she believed (or at least hoped) that he still used that old method. But instead of Salvarsan, she found something that looked much cheaper and like it wasnât obtained legally. She grabbed as many vials as she could and just began to dump them into his glass that held his dark liquor. She did it rather sloppily, her hands shaking when she realized that this was it. It was possible that she was more scared of getting caught by him than killing the old man. Heâd probably beat her until she was unrecognizable.
Y/n desperately hoped it would work. If it didn't kill him, then it would certainly impair him since he was up in age and probably didn't take good care of his health anyway. She tossed the empty vials into one of the drawers of his desk and wiped whatever residue was on her hands onto the tacky shag rug on the floor. She had to get it off of her hand before getting in her brotherâs car. She didnât consider the risk of poisoning herself, but it arose inside of her the moment she felt a few splashes onto her fingers.
"Ok sweetheart," he had caught her on her knees, "what are you doing?"
"I-I dropped my earring."
He couldn't see her ears due to her hair covering them. He grumbled something about "women" but moved to his seat without question.
Y/n got off the floor and sat in the chair in front of him. He looked a little annoyed with her now instead of eyeing her like a piece of meat like he had done for the entirety of their time alone. She watched his hand intently, waiting for him to wrap his hand around his glass and bring it up to his lips.
"I run a tight house here. None of my whores act up and I expect the same for you. If you're good for daddy, he'll be good to you."
A loud buzzing in her ears made his words unintelligible. She panicked and wondered if it was the little amount of arsenic that got on her hand that was making her feel sick to her stomach. She needed to clean herself up, and Reed needed to wrap this up. But he just talked and talked and talked while she nodded along like she really cared or was paying attention. She held her breath as he picked his glass up and took the first sip of his poisoned alcohol. Y/n isn't sure why she expected an immediate reaction from him, maybe for him to spit it out or clutch his chest, but he just carried on. It was going to take time, and she just had to wait it out. She had probably about 45 minute left before it was opening time. What if there were people already starting to come? What if one of the girls was roaming around now?
"You got that darlin'?"
"Yes," Y/n choked out, not realizing Reed had finished his spiel.
"Alright. Your room is upstairs, take a left and itâs the third room on the right hand side. Just because youâre new doesnât mean I wonât have your ass if youâre late," he kicked up his heels and reclined in his chair as he placed a cigarette between his lips. He lit it up and blew smoke right in Y/nâs direction, disregarding her grimace, âIâll probably just let a few men use your throat tonight. Donât worry, I wonât let them touch that pretty little pussy yet.â
Reed smiled coyly as if he was doing her a favor. He nodded towards the door and Y/n hot tailed it out of there. She didn't realize that she wasn't breathing right until she let out an exhale and then inhaled deeply. If he wasn't going to experience symptoms right away then it was going to take some time. There she ran the risk of him being able to get some help. It wasnât likely that many people would call the cops to help a dying brothel owner, but she panicked that maybe somebody would.
Barricading him inside of his office was the only thing to give her reassurance. She grabbed one of the bar stools, heavier than she expected, and trudged towards his door. She gently placed the first one against the door so as to not to make a noise that would cause him to see whatâs going on. Y/n did her best to run back and forth in her flats and placed each stool against his door until there were no more left. She added a few chairs to the growing pile to make sure it stuck.
Y/n paused when she heard someone starting to rouse. Whoever it was, or what, stopped making noise after a few seconds. Y/n looked up and started praying to God that she would not get caught, but the irony of wishing for someone to die did not escape her.
God just may have been on her side though. She got out of there with clean hands and not a single mark on her skin. Y/n knew that Lee couldnât know about this just quite yet, but she begins to fantasize about Lee being proud of her and taking her to bed afterwards.
------------------------------------------
"Where have you been?â Imagine Leeâs surprise when he saw his neighborâs teen daughter holding his little girl. Nothing seemed to be wrong, in fact his daughter was giggling at something the teen was doing. However, Y/n had not told him hiring a babysitter, nor did he know she was going to go out. She always told him if she was going out. If it was a spontaneous decision then a new question rose of where the hell she was during the darker hours of the day.
"I went to visit my parents and must have lost track of time,â Y/n kissed his cheek like she always does. She knows how to get Leeâs attention on something else, âDavid is in town and I wanted to see him-â
She was cut off by the sound of her husband groaning. It wasnât often that his brother-in-law came into town, so it was only a matter of time before Y/n was dragging him over to her parents house for dinner.
âWhatever. Just put the girl to bed.â
Probably the first time, Y/n was happy to see that Lee was too tired to talk to her. She doubts heâll have questions later about her whereabouts, especially if the death of the brothel owner hits his desk by tomorrow morning.
Y/n wonât worry about it tonight. Sheâs fine. Everything will be fine.
Their daughter went down easy tonight. She was tuckered out from her day with the babysitter. âGood night baby,â Y/n kissed her forehead and prayed that she would sleep through the night instead of waking up crying for a feed.
Y/n walked into the bedroom to Lee undressing himself. âJoin me,â he nodded his head in the direction of their bathroom. There was a smile on his face, a sly one but not as lascivious as Reedâs. After being in the presence of such an awful man she was surprised that her body warmed at the idea of Leeâs hands roaming her body. Heâs the only man she wants to be obedient for. The hot water on her skin cleaned her and the cum that sputtered out from Leeâs hard-on anointed her.Â
âYou feel so fucking good. Oh God...I was thinking about this pussy when I was at work...almost had to touch myself.â
Leeâs words were similar to the ones Reed had used earlier but they purified her. Her cheek pressed against the tiled wall as he fully pushed himself inside of her, hands gripping her hip. There was a low sound of their wet skin slapping together coupled with Leeâs own grunts. Y/n wasnât particularly in the mood to have sex, but she just needed Lee close to her.
âIâm gonna cum Y/n -- Iâm gonna cum honey-â his voice was cut off by his orgasm as he emptied himself inside of her.Â
He slumped against her, his face pressed against her back as his arms wrapped her waist to bring her body closer against his.
âDo you think Iâm gonna win?â
Y/n wiggled out of his grasp and turned off the water that was beating down on their skin. Water continued to fall down his face; his eyes were more than tired, they were sullen.Â
âWhat do you mean?â
âDo you think people are really going to vote for me? They love that old bastard so damn much even though heâs old as shit.â
âLee? Where is this coming from? Why are you so worried? People respect you-â
âBut it doesnât mean they like me. You and I both know that most of the people didnât even start being friendly with me until the little one came along.â It was sort of his own fault, but Y/n would never tell him that.
âDonât worry Lee,â she cupped his face, something he normally does, but it was nice to switch roles, âeverything will be alright. I promise. Youâre going to be mayor and Iâm going to be the mayorâs wife.â
He nodded at her reassurance, but his doubt was hard to push away. He felt foolish being so vulnerable and borderline emotional about this, but his wife made him feel better. Her eyes were honest and words earnest when she said, âeverything will be alright.â
Lee believed her.

En Tennyson Anything
Pairing: Pre-Established; Ben Tennyson x Reader
Warnings: None
Word Count: 2.5k words
Summary: Ever wonder how Ben Tennysonâs kid got itâs name?
A/N: Did anyone ask for it? No. Should this have remained in my head? Yes. Should I have not wasted my time when Iâm supposed to be studying for my mock chemistry Final? Probably. Did I do it anyway? Absolutely. Is anyoneâs opinion going to change my mind? Absolutely NOT.
âNo! Forget about it! I refuse to name our child En Anything!â You said firmly, walking away from your husband to the living room. Just like you knew he would but wished he wouldnât, he followed you, all while whining pitifully.
âBabe, please! Ren or Jen Tennyson? How adorable is that?â
âLook, you already named our dog Sphen Tennyson, thatâs all you get!â
âAre you comparing our child to a dog right now?â
You snorted and rolled your eyes, pointing to the TV remote. It was second nature for him to grab the remote for you and you proceeded to ignore him in favour of your favourite series.
âBabe, come on, Kevin got to name his son Devlin!â
âThatâs only cuz Gwen bet that it was going to be a girl! I on the other hand am refusing to name our child, boy or girl, En Tennyson!â
âItâs a family tradition babe!â
âNo way! That name brings enough trouble as it is!â
âAnd yet you took it!â
âBecause if I hadnât your mother wouldâve killed me. But I asked her and she said it was totally my decision to name our child whatever. And I choose anything other than En Anything.â
He threw himself on the couch with a huff, leaning against your belly and placing a hand on it, âYour mom is mean.â
You flicked his ear, âDonât say that to our child!â
He chuckled, pressing a few kisses to your bump, âYou want to be named Ren or Jen, right? Kick if you agree.â
You waited a couple of seconds in silence and when you felt nothing you couldnât help but laugh at the betrayed look on Benâs face. Usually whenever Ben talked to the baby, it was all too happy to kick around in response.
But it seemed like even the baby hated the name.
âTraitor.â
***
âI really wish I didnât have to go.â Ben murmured, pulling you into his arms. You sighed, relishing in his warmth and leaning against his frame. A hand came to cradle your head as he tilted your face towards his and captured your lips in a kiss.
âItâs okay, the universe needs you.â
âYeah, but you need me more than them.â He mumbled, kissing you again and you chuckled, âIâm sure I can survive a few days.â
âBut youâre near your due date.â
You knew he was anxious to leave you alone so close to your due date. The grip he had on your hands was an indication to just how hard this was for him. He was worried about leaving the two of you home alone.
âItâs going to be okay, love. Besides, itâs not like Iâm alone, I have your parents and Grandpa Max to look after me.â
âAnd my brother promised to check in on her a couple of times too.â Gwen spoke up from behind you and you nodded.
âCall me when youâre done.â You said, wrapping your arms around his neck. He peppered kisses along your shoulder as a goodbye.
âCall me if anything happens, okay?â He asked and you nodded, smiling when he bent down to say goodbye to your child.
âDonât trouble your mom too much, okay? And donât be born until I get back. Okay?â He asked and just like you knew it would, the baby kicked hearing Benâs voice and the two of you laughed.
âWeâll be just fine.â You reassured, kissing him one final time before sending him off with a smile, âBe safe, I love you.â
***
It wasnât long after Ben left when it started to snow heavily. The roads were quickly covered with sleet and snow decorated the window. So, you curled up with a warm hot chocolate, bundled up in Benâs jacket by the window and had the radio playing.
Retro, but it was just what you needed to stop worrying about Ben.
You were nearly done with your cup when you heard the doorbell ring and wondered if you absolutely had to get up. Your feet were already kind of sore and you didnât feel like moving. The doorbell rang again and you groaned, shuffling off the bed and grumbled all the way to the doorway.
When you opened it, Gwenâs brother was standing there with a small smile and a box of donuts.
âHey, I got you those donuts you like.â
You have him a smile, inviting him inside, âThank you, Ken. You really didnât have to.â
âI promised Gwen and Ben that I would look after you.â
âWell, it looks like youâre stuck here,â You said, looking out the window and noticing how the police where shutting them down for everyoneâs safety, âThe roads are closed.â
He looked at the scene over your shoulder and released a breath, âIâm kind of relieved. I just parallel parked the car between 2 giant vans and I really didnât want to have to bring it out of there.â
You giggled, âLucky you then.â
The two of you didnât waste any time, opening the box of donuts and digging in.
âSo, any names for the newest Tennyson?â Ken asked, finishing his Jelly-filled one as you bit into the one with chocolate sprinkles.
âWell, Ben wants to name it either Ren or Jen but I hate the idea.â
Ken laughed, âWhat about you?â
âWell, I wanted to name it Max if he was boy,â You started, a hand unconsciously coming to rub your belly when you felt your baby move slightly. Almost as if he knew you were talking about it, âBut Grandpa Max thinks that we shouldnât.â
âWhy not? I mean, Iâd be pretty honoured if someone wanted to name their child after me.â
âRight? But Max thinks that his name would bring about bad luck. As if the last name isnât bad luck enough.â You sighed and grabbed the last donut just as Ken was reaching for it. He raised a judgmental brow and you scoffed.
âIâm pregnant, whatâs your excuse?â
***
Ken stayed the rest of the night, sleeping in one of the guest rooms and when the two of you woke up, you realized that it had snowed the whole night. The roads were covered in snow that was feet deep and you watched from the top of Tennyson Tower as a team of pyronites tried to clear them away.
It seemed in vain however, because it looked like the drainage system was frozen over and it would be difficult to get all the snow out without causing a flood.
You found yourself missing your husband more than you expected. With the snow and the cold, you wanted someone to cuddle up to. Someone to hold.
The baby had definitely noticed Benâs absence. You couldnât really tell how but something in your soul told you that it missed its father. Just as you did.
But the baby didnât know that Ben was off world for a mission and light years away from the two of you. The baby had no idea that kicking and being fussy wouldnât get him here faster even though it showed you just how uncomfortable it was.
Maybe thatâs why it decided to come out and check for itself.
You werenât sure what you felt at first. It was just a little discomfort for you but the spell quickly passed without much notice.
The second contraction made sure to let you know that it was there.
You held onto Kenâs arm in surprise and he took his eyes off the screen to look at you. You were staring blankly at the screen and he shifted in his seat to grab your hand.
âEverything okay?â
âI think I just had a contraction.â You whispered, feeling slightly panicked. A lot of emotions were rushing through your head; how you didnât want to do this without Ben, how you didnât want to do this, how you couldnât do this with the roads blocked, and wondering whether this was actually labour.
âWhat? Oh, shit, okay, just relax. Has your water broken?â Ken was surprisingly calm even though you just told him you might be having your baby. He merely patted your hand reassuringly and grabbed his phone.
âIâI donât think so.â
âOkay then we got some time, just relax.â
You knew all this. You went to the classes. You read the books. But as soon as you felt the first contraction, your mind went blank. All you did was nod as Ken dialled in your mother-in-lawâs number and told her what was going on.
âHow are we gonna get to the hospital?â You whispered, feeling panic rise and Ken brought you in for a comforting hug, âDonât worry about it, we got some time. Iâll call Grandpa Max and ask him if he can dispatch a couple of hover cars or at least get some Heatblastâs to clear the road. Everything will be just fine.â
âAre you sure?â
âYep, worst comes to worst, weâll have to get a doctor up here. Itâll be okay. Just watch some TV for now.â
âHow do you know so much about this? You seem oddly calm.â
Ken blushed, âI read up on it a lot when Gwen was pregnant to make sure that if I was with her when it happened then I wouldnât be floundering.â
You gave him a smile, âThatâs sweet.â
***
âOkay, just breathe. Breathe. Youâre doing great!â Ken whispered, letting you grip his hands as he talked you through another contraction. After he called up Grandpa Max, it didnât take long before they managed to bring you to the hospital. Your water broke soon after that and the contractions got more painful.
âWhereâs Ben!â You cried out, clenching your teeth. Ken began wiping your tears and sweat away.
âWe havenât been able to reach him yet, heâs still in battle. Heâll get the message soon enough and come home, (Y/N), donât worry about it.â
âI canât have this baby without him, Ken. I canât. Can you tell the doctors to keep it in?â You sobbed and he chuckled lightly, pecking your temple, âWe canât keep it in, honey, but Aunt Sandra and Uncle Carl are on their way. So is Grandpa Max.â
âWhy is this taking so long!!â You whimpered. Ken was carefully wiping away all your tears, âI thought the miracle of birth was supposed to be beautiful! Why is it so slow and so painful!â
He laughed and you sent him a glare but he knew it was harmless, âWell thatâs the human race for you.â
âWhat a bunch of bastards.â
***
âIâm here! Iâm here!â Ben shouted, bolting through the hallways, running into multiple people until he finally made it outside your delivery room. He was running too fast and ended up crashing into his fatherâs arms, panting heavily.
âCan I go in?â He asked, unsure if he was allowed and hesitated even when his parents nodded. His son or daughter was being born. Now. The love of his life was giving birth in the other room. All of it felt too real. Too domestic. Too normal.
Heâd been through so much till now, never getting anything in return. Heâd saved planets and risked his life over and over again, always coming near death and he never asked for anything in return.
Now it finally felt like he was getting something back.
His heart honestly couldnât handle it.
So, he hesitated, he was scared heâd get robbed of something again. That heâd once again have to give up something in his life.
Kevin placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder, squeezing it tightly and he nodded before giving him a slight nudge towards the door. When Ben stepped in, he immediately rushed to your side, pressing a kiss to your sweaty forehead.
âIâm here. Iâm here. I love you. Iâm here.â You spared him a smile and he brought a hand up to wipe away some tears. You were breathing hard, a hand wrapped around his arm and the other was still clasped between both of Kenâs.
It was only then Ben noticed that his cousin was also in the room.
âHey, man.â
âSup.â
âWHY DONâT I LAY DOWN SOME TEA AND CRACKERS SO YOU CAN CATCH UP WHILE I TRY AND GIVE BIRTH!â
Even the doctor couldnât help but laugh as your nails dug into their skin and you cried out, back hitting the bed in relief as your baby was born. An innocent cry filled the room and you couldnât help the tears of joy that began streaming down your cheeks.
That was your baby.
âCongratulations Mr. and Mrs. Tennyson, itâs a boy.â
Ben let out a teary laugh, kissing you briefly and squeezing your hand reassuringly as you leaned against him, exhausted. He was finally here; his baby boy was finally here.
The doctors cleaned him up a little before handing the baby to you, initiating skin-to-skin. You felt fresh tears looking at his precious face. That was your baby.
Benâs hand came to support your son, his other arm wrapping around your figure as he brought you into a hug. A family hug.
âI love you.â
âI love you too.â
***
âDo we have a name yet?â Gwen asked from beside you, looking over the newest addition to the family. Your son was comfortable, even though people kept passing him around like a hot potato. Itâs what happens when there are so many people in your family.
âNo, not yet.â Ben told and you were almost impressed. A part of you was completely expecting him to hijack the name and outright tell everyone that you were naming your son Ren Tennyson.
âActually,â You spoke up, bringing everyoneâs attention to you just as Sandra handed her grandson back to you. You fondly looked at your baby boy before looking up at your husband with a shy smile, âI was thinking Kenny.â
A bright smile grew on his face, âReally? I thought you said you didnât want an En Tennyson.â
âI didnât, but I want our baby to be named after someone special,â You spoke, turning your head to meet the gaze of Ken, who had been standing behind everyone for the time being. You sent him a meaningful look, âI couldnât have done it without you today. Thank you, for everything.â
He blushed, âI didnât really.â
You didnât bother arguing with him, knowing it was just his humility that held him back from accepting your gratitude. Instead, you turned back to the baby in your arms, leaning your head against Benâs shoulder, âYour name is Kenny Tennyson, baby.â
The room erupted into cheers and you grinned, looking up to see your family around you.
Perhaps a family name wasnât a bad idea.
It meant your child would be named after the people you love.

Stay
A Rock Band!OT7 x Reader drabble
Hello, I know Iâve been gone for a while but work and school have been killing, not to mention the holidays are coming up. Anyway, I listened to the BE album (a soothing masterpiece) and then today after work I took a four hour nap and was struck with inspiration. So here you go a rock band OT7 au. Also the picture above started it all. Hope you enjoy!!
Trigger Warning: The following story contains mentions of manipulation and abusive acts. The behavior and mindset of the characters in this will be incredibly yandere and toxic. This is a work of fiction and doesnât represent the character of bangtan sonyeondan. Enjoy ~~~
â...And in other news members of rock band BTS find themselves amid controversy after a video is taken of a member after a concert, who many believe to be the groupâs oldest Kim Seokjin alias âPretty boy,â embracing and kissing their manager as other group members watch onâŠâ
       When YN awoke the first time she didnât pay much attention to her state of undress beyond noticing the robe she was wearing didnât offer much warmth. Whilst her sleep-addled mind searched for a blanket across the bed - Hoseok usually tucked them under the pillows - YN picked up on the loud sound of a K-Drama playing the background. She surmised Jimin mustâve stayed in, while the others went out to drink or eat dinner. Her search yielded no results and she was so exhausted that she simply fell back asleep.
 âLong time fans of the band will be able to tell you that the groupâs manager YN YLN has been someone of a polarizing figure. While many love and support her for taking care of the boys and managing their busy schedule. Other fans have been quick to point out how close they are bond is and worry that the ex-dance champion may be using the boys to her own advantage...â
       The second time she woke up, YN was immediately more aware of her surroundings. The drama was still playing on in the back, though she wasnât sure it was the same one, as the door muffled most of the voices. On the bedside table, she found a bottle of water and her night bag which let her know that it was pretty late. Still far too lethargic to comprehend doing more than one thing at a time YN chugged the water down, removed her makeup, cleansed her skin, before finally heading to the bathroom. It was once she took off the robe and sat down that YN surmised she had probably fallen asleep in the car and the boys had carried her into the hotel room. Jungkook likely being the one to undress her and bring her the stuff. She could only hope they had taken the back entrance because YN didnât need more headlines happening especially not now.
      It was once she washed her hands, redressing in the robe, and stepped back out that she was able to notice something was off. The television could still be heard, but it was unusual for Jimin to not have checked up on her at least once. He likely thought she was too exhausted and needed her rest. It was true, though the concert had been a success the impromptus of it had left YN with less than twenty-four hours to prepare for a half-hour set at the venue down the street of the latest city they were at. She even had to lend a hand to staff to load up all the devices and props, by the end her back had been killing her so much that Namjoon had given her something for pain relief.
      The general haziness felt could likely be attributed to the muscle relaxer she had taken. Suddenly, right before she was about to jump back into bed a thought occurred to her. Oh shit! Itâs probably the third already. I have to call mom and confirm the tickets. Immediately a pang of guilt shot through her core as she thought about her last conversation with the boys. It hadnât gone smoothly - YN never thought it would have - they had been friends for such a long time and though YN had been with them through all the ups and downs of fame, she felt it was time to sort her own path. They had helped put her back on her feet after her accident and had even offered her to be their manager. In the beginning, no one could have expected how big they would become. YN mainly accepted take her mind off her pre-maturely finished career and as a way to repay them for everything. Now five years later, they were at the top of the world and YN had just been offered a teaching position in the most respected dance institute in the country.
      Their time had come to an end and though YN had wished for the transition to be smoother and less hurried, she also knew the boys had a tendency to be...possessive. Life hadnât been fair to them and though fame had given them so much it had also taken things they werenât prepared to lose. Perhaps the fault lied on YN, she had after all allowed herself to become their safe space. Artists can be a bit obsessive - YN too was near right addicted to her craft at her prime - so she had let the seven men cling on to her so they wouldnât go looking for that high in other places or things. At the time she hadnât thought anything of it. As their friend and manager, it was her responsibility to care for them and ensure they could live as normally as was allowed.
      It didnât mean that a fight wouldnât occur. Didnât mean that she wouldnât be accused of betraying them, abandoning them, despising them even if it couldnât be farther from the truth. They were all reckless as well; harsh, abrasive, and downright machiavellian when they felt cornered. The fight after the show had been an anticipated one, though not a predictable one. They so often switched roles between them: the instigator, mediator, bystander, judge, jury, friend, and foe. Tonight however they constantly switched not allowing YN to even properly explain herself before frustration, exhaustion, and the onset of the medication forced her to call it quits. Not before Seokjin had kissed her though - but that was something she would dwell on when the morning rolled around.
      For now, YN focused on scouring the room and searching for her phone, she had it on her in the car so there was no reason for it not to be there. The analog clock that typically displayed the time and date was gone, so YN turned on the television hoping to find a newscasting that displayed the time and date. She scrolled through channels until she saw an image of her flash on the screen, a picture of her from her last showcase.
      âSources had told reporters that YN had been offered a coveted position at Seoulâs Seogsa Dance Academy where she was to begin teaching courses this coming semester. It seems after much deliberation YN has decided to reject the schoolâs offer. Could her relationship with the bandâs oldest and lead guitarist be behind it?â
       A barely audible âWhat?â left YNâs lips. Her mind racing as she tried to process everything she had just heard in the last minute. Relationship? What relationship? Iâm not dating Seokjin! Even if I were, I would never reject⊠YN bolted straight out of bed and to the bedroom door, shaking the doorknob furiously but being unable to open the door. No. They wouldnât do this. They wouldnât. âGuys! Guys, open the door. Please open the door.â YN began to pound on the wooden door, begging for an exit. Maybe it was her imagination, but she swore the television on the other side got louder. In an instant, the entirety of the conversation came to the forefront of her mind.
      âWhat do you mean youâre leaving? You canât leave you made a promise!â
      âLetâs just hear YN out. Iâm sure she has a good reason for keeping this from us.â
      âIâm way too worn out for this conversation.â
      âTeaching position? Are you even in the state to be able to dance for so long?â
      âYN, are you certain you arenât rushing into this? Is there another reason youâre being so rash?â
      âI just think you havenât thought this out, sweetheart. You can barely handle a few boxes, I donât think your body can handle dancing for hours on end every single day without harm.â
      âWeâre your friends YN. Weâre just thinking of whatâs best for you.â
      âClearly though we donât matter enough to consider us in this decision. Do you know how much trouble this is going to be? What itâll look like? Youâre feeding us to the sharks and you donât give a shit.â
YN slid down to her knees, tears streaming down her face as her voice became hoarse after crying for so long. âPlease let me out! Please! Iâm sorry just let me out!â After hours of imploring, she picked up the small âclickâ of the lock and heard the creak of the door as it opened to show all seven men staring down at her. Smiles on their face accompanied by dark hooded eyes bridled with sadistic glee. Â

Chapter ten: Is he not fucking dead?
Summary: Y/n and Tendou are deeply in love. Living on the other side of Tokyo now, the Monsters are still up to their old shit. They even opened a few businesses for Tax reasons. Even though itâs been almost three years later, Y/n still has never been able to understand how they have avoided the law several times. When Tendouâs Mother reappears in his life, Y/n is confused as Tendou claimed she is dead. Finding out Tendou is being forced to take over the family business by his Mother, she soon learns the truth behind Tendouâs reason he never gets in legal trouble is his family business. His mother is quick to decline Y/n as his future wife and tries to set up Tendou with someone she sees more fit. What will happen to Y/n and Tendou? What will happen to Tendouâs âfamily businessâ? What does this mean for the future of the Monsters?
TW: Swearing, mentions of kidnapping, traitor, mentions of past violence. mentions of future manipulationÂ
An> Sorry I am a mess mbvfhdvbsh I am uploading the last horror chapter from a week ago in a few hours and some more intros soon!! The links will all be fixed by tomorrow at 9pm est as well!!Â
______________________________________________________________
Third person POV (Sugawara and Daichi side)
Arriving back at the headquarters of the north side's base, the two were greeted by the leader's right hand man.
âWhat the hell happened to you Daichi? You look like you got roughed up.âÂ
âThe fucking monsters found out it was me who ordered the hit on Kenma.â Daichi said.
âWhat the fuck how?â The man asked in front of them.Â
âI think Kenma did, Kageyama.âÂ
âIs he not fucking dead?â Kageyama slammed his fist into the wall.Â
âGuess not. They have a pre-med student on their side so I can only guess he stitched them up.âÂ
âFuck we need information and we need it now. With these new members they may actually pose a threat to us. Call Tanaka and Nishinoya and tell them to get the fuck back now. We need to have a group meeting.â With that kageyama stomped away.Â
âYou have to tell him about the informant Suga.â Daichi said.Â
âI want to wait till we are in the meeting. He gave me a run down on the new 8 members besides himself.âÂ
The two called the others and headed into the main hall where they held their meetings.Â
After everyone arrived but the boss and Kageyama, Sugawara looked around. A loud chatter could be heard as Kageyama slammed open the door.Â
âShut the fuck up!â He yelled as he sat down. Right behind him Hinata came into the room and slammed the door shut.Â
âBoss you are back. Good to see you again.â Asahi spoke up.Â
âHow was brazil? Bang any hot chicks sir?â Tanaka asked.Â
âShut up. None of this is important right now. I had to come back early as you can see. The south side Yakuza has become too powerful and has a chance of wiping us out. As you can see I called only the people I trusted to come here only. It seems the leader is stepping down and her son is taking over. Sugawara and Daichi went to high school with a few of them so I want all the information you have on them. Nothing is too small.âÂ
âSir, if I may.â Sugawara spoke up. Hinata nodded for him to know it was okay for him to continue. âI have gotten someone to switch over to our side from their close circle.âÂ
âHow do we know they wonât fuck us over you idiot!â Kageyama yelled.Â
âWell, I took something that is of importance to him, and he is the one who informed me about Kenma.âÂ
âSo what did you take from him first off and how do you know something like this would even work?âÂ
âEasy, he already gave me a way to get the leader to crack AND how to go through with it. I took something precious to him, donât worry about it okay?â Hinata chuckled.Â
âYou really are not that weak fuck I met two years ago are you?â He laughed again. âSo what is your plan after all Sugawara?â
âTendou is their new leader as we know. Heâs the son of the current leader and also the one who was the leader back in high school as well. He runs a money laundering bike shop down on the corner of main street I guess. I found out he has only one week spot and we need to use that against him.âÂ
âLet me guess his mom?â Tanaka said clearly bored.
âNo, itâs definitely not his mom. Itâs his FiancĂ©, Y/n. I was supposed to take her on a date back in their last year of school but they hijacked my date.âÂ
âOkay but Y/n is dating Tendou, so itâs safe to assume sheâs also a little crazy you know?â Asahi spoke up.Â
âBut thatâs where Hinata comes in.â Hinata glared at him, âSorry I mean boss comes in. Heâs still quite new after the death of Ennoshita, may he rest in peace, but Boss has only been seen in Brazil and he does play a good role as a soft sweet guy often. Y/n works at a restaurant so we send Boss and Asahi in as they both play innocent roles almost too well. You befriend her, gain her trust, then we get Tendou to come get her for a price, but we kill her in front of him.â Sugawara said.Â
Hinata stood up and walked over to the window to look out dramatically.Â
âOne day this city will be my kingdom. With police in my pocket over the south we already have a head start. Plus with Tendouâs weakness being put out on the line, well thatâs another advantage point for us.â Hinata turned around now looking at the other six men around the room. Daichi, I will need you to find out every bit of information on Y/n as possible from the police system. Sugawara please find out when Y/n works and more specifically where. We start this sting operation in one month. We need to space it out so no one gets suspicious of why two kind strangers want to befriend a student at a random restaurant.âÂ
âShould I let the informant know our plan then?â Sugawara asked Hinata.Â
âNo, just in case he crosses us, we keep our side secret, we just want his cooperation right now anyways. If he finds out we are after Y/n and has been feeding us false information, then we will get caught before we start.âÂ
âHe said Tendouâs mom doesnât seem to fit on y/n being his fiancĂ©.â Hinata gave him a sadistic smirk.Â
âWell we canât have that old hag interrupting our plans now can we?â He let out a deep laugh as Kageyama stood up and marched over to Sugawara. He grabbed his collar as it pulled him from his seat making the chair slam onto the cold floor.
âWho the fuck is your informant? Why are you not telling us?!â He spoke with poison dripping from his words.
âHanamaki Takahiro.â
