When the possessed dude was leading Sol Regem towards Katolis why didnt Sol Regem question the length of his flight—?? Just flying in the clouds for probably, what, an hour??? Even though the sunfire elves must be a few minutes away???

Tbh I think Leo, Hazel, and Frank could've had such an interesting dynamic that was thrown away in favour of a love triangle because,,,,, heteronormativity, IG.
Think about it!
Hazel and Leo's powers are beautiful and beloved by their mothers — Marie partially due to greed, yes, but do not tell me she did not cup her daughter's tiny hands and tell her no stone could shine as bright as her, just as Esperanza cupped her son's chubby face and told him no fire compared to the one in his chest.
And yet, they are curses, ones that fell the ones that loved them so dearly.
Frank and Leo are the embodiment of their mothers' deaths — war, ever-shifting and unpredictable, and fire, flickering and explosive. Both deadly, so unbelievably deadly, but unavoidable and romanticized, the subject of so many paintings and songs and novels, of unhealthy fascinations that often end with death.
And yet, both their mothers fell in love with those very things, and of that love they were born, bonfires of potential.
This is not be the basis for a friendship, of course — especially not in the context of the story.
Hazel needs to remind herself: this is not Sammy. He looks like him and he acts like him and he laughs like him, but it is not him. She observes him closely to pin down the oddities, to help her differentiate them enough that she stops choking every time she must speak to him.
This is not a friendship.
Frank needs to remind himself: this is not the enemy. He will not fire a cannon at him, will not leave him to fend for himself in a fight, will not clutch his life tight and watch it crumble to ash. He observes him closely to never let him get too close, to prevent him from getting a chance to burn him, accidentally or not.
This is not a friendship.
This is not a friendship, but it is an understanding — when Leo uses a blowtorch rather than his own fire, when Hazel hurls glittering garnets at the walls and off the ship with a wail, when Frank breaks a mirror and falls apart at the sight of his bloody hands.
What is a friendship is this:
Hazel learns Leo's humour and she learns how to fit into it — not like with Sammy, never like with Sammy, but fit nonetheless. They learn to feed off each other, to encourage each other, to let loose and menace the others with maniacal laughter because they can, here on this ship, with kids no better than them. And when they're done, when they wind down and calm down, content and satisfied with working out their anger at the world — then, Leo learns to keep the engine room door open, to keep a pile of blankets and pillows in the corner, and Hazel learns to make her way into the hull of the ship, to make a nest of blankets and pillows. And he brings his schematics and tools, and she brings her sketchbooks and tools, and they work: she, humming songs from bygone days; he, rambling with no desire for an answer.
This is a friendship.
Frank learns Leo's tics, what makes him flare up or clam up or cheer up, and Leo does the same in return. They learn to work around each other, to fit together just so so as to cooperate without stepping on each other's toes. And when they finally do that, when they're not flinching or jumping or bursting at each other — then, they learn to sneak into the training room, to learn to fight in a more traditional and proper way together, to learn how to incorporate their own styles and preferences into that. And Leo brings tea and light snacks and headache medication, and Frank brings bandages and cold compresses and soft spare clothes, and they spar: he, with hammers and knives and too-sharp screwdrivers; he, with arrows and claws and daggers. After, they sit against the wall, looking over each other's scratches and bruises, coaxing each other to eat and drink a little more.
This is a friendship.
It may not be a close one, it may not be one where they check in on each other every few days after parting, it may not stay unchanged for years down the line — but it is one, and it is theirs.

jealousy jealousy
the 100 [ john murphy x reader ]
Tumblr media
type: ig angst but it’s not well written enough to ‘hit’
tropes: jealousy, roommates, unspoken but accepted love, best friends to lovers
warnings: violence ( knife fight ), mentions of murder
in which wells jaha is getting help by the only person willing to be around him, who just so happens to john murphy’s unofficial girlfriend, who then has to deal with his idiotic jealousy.
a/n: hii, i’m back! this is based on a request i really really liked but i’m not happy with what i actually wrote so i hope it’s okay to read. i kinda ignored how much of a psychopath murphy was in the first season cause i really couldn’t have justified his actions otherwise and the whole jealousy part wouldn’t have been entertaining AT ALL. so yea, i was struggling a bit ( whilst also blatantly ignoring the timeline, ignore anything that doesn’t match the canon timeline of s1 pls ), but at least i tried right🫣 no pronouns
w.c.: 2040
yours and murphy's relationship was a rather unclear, but at the same time simple one. you weren't officially dating, but during your time on the ark, when you were locked up in your shared cell, where you also met, you definitely did some inappropriate stuff; stuff that friends don't do.
your cell was also the place where the two of you bonded, becoming really really close rather quickly. although he was a very aggressive and irritating person to be around at first, you got used to it and soon he became your favourite person to be around.
now, after months of being roommates and part time lovers, you were finally on the ground, something you'd dreamed of since you first learned about it and therefore were keen on securing your survival. murphy on the other hand, got so bad that even you couldn't deny the fact he was a total asshole and if you didn't know he would never hurt you, you'd be way too scared to share a tent with him, especially alone.
you didn't actively distance yourself but after watching him bully wells, the chancellor's son, countless times for his father's actions, you kind of naturally looked for ways to make some new friends. and as if the universe hated john murphy, you seemed to work really well with wells.
everytime murphy saw you talk or walk around with wells, which honestly happened quite a lot, it fueled his hatred against home even more and made him want to stay away from you too.
you didn't mind not being associated with the provocative behaviour of john murphy and the way he tyrannized the other delinquents, however, it was a very different story when it came to going to bed and waiting for him until you physically couldn't keep your eyes open any longer, leading to you and him barely ever meeting and getting a chance to talk, despite sharing a tent.
yes, murphy was an asshole, that was totally not up for debate, BUT he was also the cell mate you had for the past few months; one who you loved deeply.
you were sitting by the dropship, wells next to you, watching your hands closely.
"see, it's really important that you wrap everything tightly, like super tight, since you don't want your arrow to fall apart in the air, alright?", you explained and made sure he understood. you were teaching him how to make an arrow from scratch and although you weren't an earth skills expert, you definitely knew more than wells, who didn't get the chance to attend earth skills class back on the ark. and you could probably count the people who at least tolerated wells on one hand, you included.
"okay and, sorry", he paused, scrunching his nose and forehead as he stared at the arrow-to-be in front of him, "how do i make sure the tip is sharp and everything? i just don't get it, sorry. i don't wanna waste your time y/n.”
you smiled, appreciating his consideration, but clearly declining his indirect offer for you to do something else. there wasn't anything else for you to do and he also wasn't wasting your time, he was just learning and you really liked teaching him; it helped you understand better as well.
"wells, c'mon. i'm choosing to be here, you didn't force me and i don't think it would be okay to produce less arrows, that literally get us food, just cause i'm bored of you", you said, smiling at him, "not.. not that i am bored of you, but you know what i mean!"
he grinned before nodding. honestly, there wasn't anything wrong with wells at all and you truly didn't understand how your fellow delinquents could treat him they way they did. especially murphy.
speaking of the devil, murphy was brutally staring at you and oh boy was he jealous.
he didn’t want to approach you, as he was lowkey trying to avoid starting anything right in front of you, let alone with you. he wasn’t blind and therefore noticed how much more distant you and him were ever since arriving on earth so he was trying to avoid any additional conflicts between you.
when you looked up, your eyes meeting his for a quick moment, leading to you sending a small smile his way, he almost forgot about all his anger and jealousy towards wells. that was until you looked back at the boy in front of you and started smiling hard at the almost perfect arrow he had just put together.
murphy was gonna make wells pay, hard. he just had to catch him away from you, something that was way harder to arrange than he’d like it to be.
“don’t you see you can’t control this?!”, wells voice echoed through the woods as you nervously made your way back. you were wandering around outside of camp, always keeping close to the dropship as you knew you could get los easily. the initial reason you decided to turn around was the cheering delinquents and something inside of you just had you thinking that murphy must have had something to do with it.
“wait”, you heard bellamy yell, making the noise die down for a moment. it calmed your nerves as you were standing at the back of the group, trying to be as tall as possible to see what was going on. “fair fight”, bellamy said before you could hear something metallic fall to the ground.
anxiety increasing again, you tried to push yourself through the delinquents that were proudly chanting for murder meanwhile you had to pray for a miracle; one that ensured that murphy wasn’t part of this.
“this is for my father”, you could make out murphy’s voice fairly quickly right as you were able to watch him attack wells with a knife. a gasp escaped your throat when wells defended himself with ease, pushing murphy to the ground and holding a knife to his throat.
“stop it! are you insane?!”, your feet were moving before you could think about your actions, bringing you right where wells and murphy were standing.
wells dropped his hand. murphy looked at you with fear and regret. he didn’t regret attacking wells, but he didn’t want you to see him like this. however, one had to admit that he hadn’t been trying very hard.
“y/n..”
“no, shut up john. i am so beyond done with your shit. yours too!”, you pointed a finger at bellamy who just rolled his eyes at your tone.
“if this is who you want to be, fine. go ahead and be a dickhead, john. you disgust me”, you mumbled angry words right into his face before storming off.
despite it being really challenging, you decided to ignore murphy for now. you couldn’t believe that he would do something as reckless as getting into a knife fight with wells! of course wells wasn’t innocent either, but it was clear who the aggressor must have been, even without having been there the entire time.
it was kind of embarrassing that you couldn’t even deny the high possible of john murphy, the boy you had lowkey caught feelings for, murdering an innocent boy for fun.
truly messed up, making murphy more and more deserving of the silent treatment you were giving him. at first he had stayed away from you until you didn’t even come to the tent at night, secretly having had asked a girl named harper to stay in hers.
so when you kept ignoring murphy the day after the incident, it angered him so much that he immediately stormed into your tent when he watched you enter it from afar.
“what the fuck y/n”, he said, his voice laced with irritation as he stared at you. his blue eyes piercing yours.
despite being intimidated, you stayed stubborn and didn’t give him any attention. he hadn’t deserved it yet.
“oh i see, you’re ignoring me? are you being serious? for what, scaring the chancellor’s son a bit? you know damn well i wouldn’t have done anything”, he said, rolling his eyes and waited for a reaction. this time you looked at him critically before ignoring him again.
“wait, you do know that, right?”, murphy’s voice softened a bit. he moved so that he could observe not only your body language, but also your eyes. this made you lower your gaze.
soon after, you felt two hands touching your skin. they were cold but the touch was warm, hot even. murphy moved your face so that you were looking at him and he immediately noticed your worried expression. he instantly understood that you actually didn’t know that he wasn’t a cold hearted killer.
“y/n, i wouldn’t have killed him, i swear. yes, i harmed him and i did that on purpose, i’ll be fully honest here, but i was just angry at him”, he explained himself calmly now.
you removed his hands from your face before getting up from the bed you had previously sat on. “what do you mean angry, john? what did wells do to you? you’ve been treating him like absolute shit, are you kidding me, i don’t get it”, you said. you wanted to yell at him but you also tried to hold onto the tiniest bit of privacy you had behind the ‘walls’ of your tent.
murphy slightly rolled his eyes and shook his head, then sat down on the bed and took off his shoes.
he is trying to escape the conversation!
it annoyed you that he had the audacity to ignore your question after everything he had done up until this point.
“what is WRONG with you, john. talk to me already!”, this time, he basically had you begging. again, unbelievable.
he tried to let as much time pass as possible before linking his hands, putting his arms behind his head and looking up. he sighed and licked his lips, trying to find the right words. “i was.. kinda jealous.”
you couldn’t help but stare at him and ultimately break out in laughter. this was absolutely pathetic.
“you were gonna kill someone out of jealousy? are you INSANE MURPHY?!”, you didn’t even try to keep your voice down, he deserved this.
“y/n, i know that it was wrong alright. but i already told you that i wouldn’t have killed him”, murphy was annoyed and you could clearly hear it in his voice. he however, could clearly see that you weren’t just going to let him disrespect you like that. he sighed again.
“do you want me to apologize?”, he asked quietly, his voice barely louder than a whisper. murphy moved his head so that he could look at you and when a slight grin appeared on your face, he let himself fall back into the sleeping bag.
of course you’d want him to apologize.
“yea, to wells”, you said, ruining his mood entirely.
“WHAT?! you gotta be insane. do you know how embarass”, your expression made him halt in the middle of the sentence, the stubbornness you radiated even caused him to groan. “okay.” you truly had him wrapped around your finger.
“good, john”, you said and walked over to him. “y’know what, this is an amazing sign for you to be better in general because from what i’ve noticed, you’ve been pure hell for most people in this camp”, you admitted, knowing he wouldn’t be mad at you for your honesty.
this, once again, caused murphy to roll his eyes at you. he shook his head slightly, not wanting to talk about his own behaviour anymore, he held one arm out to you, inviting you into the bed with him.
you hesitated for a short second, but quickly got down next to him.
“ugh come here”, murphy said and pulled you into his side.
sharing a bed or cuddling wasn’t a new thing to you two, but it made your heart jump, in a very very good way, everytime it happened.
you repositioned your head until you found a position comfortable enough to stay in and took a long breathe in.
after a moment of silence you began giggling.
“so, jealous huh?”

c2x17 tick tick tick...
RC: ask me why I’m here KB: I ask myself that every day
Ryan’s jacket again looks like one Dirk Gently (or my gay uncle who lives in australia) would wear
She’s so right, it is not her, but since it was Heavily based on her she Should get a say in who plays her. My family has discussed this many times. 
This was one of the first episodes I had seen. Actually, it was the last one I’d seen before never watching castle again because we only had four episodes on our TV. Then we got the DVD set & FINALLY I got to see the second part. Yay for two-part episodes...
MR: “you are not another man, besides, I trained you!” (so true bestie) (also, another point for the “rick castle is trans” AUs)
RC: they spell something,, they spell... Kinki :}
I love music sm. I know a fiddle song called calliope house that I can play in four keys & on any string.
Second intro ^-^ I am going to keep this post I think.
Oh right the fbi. I mean cooperation & acab & gizmos & all that good stuff.
He’s like a kid. Excited. Playing with this stuff.  Girl it is BETTER to have a machine to do the work, it is faster, it doesn’t matter.  Rick, ew, you have Nikki Heat & someone called “Rook” (which will get you killed in a chess club if you call it a “castle”) & it’s literally just RPF & you make em have sex. Come on bro, you know the BS she already deals with as a female cop in the early 00s? (& IG 2010s)
Yeah bud the animation sure works like that & it’s just that easy
Agent Shaw & Castle really are a lot like beckett & castle.
She could have said “I will come with one person as backup, I cannot come alone, but I will somewhat respect your wishes” maybe?
I like shaw. We have more people than you do, our goal is to catch the killer. You need to get some rest, I’m a mom, I know that.
“Aha, one of your old wedding videos” he says, about martha rodgers the actress fighting with a guy in a monster costume
OH NO I FORGOT ABOUT THAT PART, DOES HE DROP THE BODY OUTSIDE THE DOOR? no wait I think it’s castle. She keeps her gun in a drawer? In Canada you need to have guns locked up, on the farm we would actually keep the gun but lock up the bullets. She doesn’t have it on her, she doesn’t have it locked up, she has it halfway in between?
Yeah data & gadgets are so cool & like... Granted, she does envy that he listens to shaw.
“I will have you know that I sleep with a gun” IS SHE OK? how do you even do that? Is it like bed knife from markiplier?
I like how he just made himself at home & went through her cupboards & all that. Though I’m sad she mostly orders in. It is not /so/ hard to meal prep on sundays,, at least for lunches & then you could order dinner... or maybe you make supper every night (that you are free) & take leftovers to lunch daily. It surprises me how much people don’t cook...
“there’s a body out there I need to find” comedic timing
Ryan how is that relevant??? XD XD ryan chill “what time did you & mr castle go to bed last night?”
Lanie (& literally everyone): So cute the way you do that
It’s neat seeing castle wearing normal clothing instead of his usual style
JS: Ok sweetie, Mommy has got to go arrest somebody now, I’ll be home for dinner. I love you, bye. So cute ^u^
Spoilers for the next episode: Ok but even after watching this I don’t understand. He shot the gun, where did the bullet go? The gunshot is what told the fbi to go in, & he definitely did shoot the gun, but how would it work? Ben conrad had to have been dead on the ground & set up before Scott shot. Once scott fired, he ran & hid in the hidey hole & let the pigs find the body. Where did he shoot?
two-floor apartments are so weird to me. I once stayed in a penthouse mansion in japan four times as big as the floors below, but... it was the entire floor, not double-leveled. 
Ok but this trigenerational household is so great!
No but listen. When you shoot a gun or loose an arrow, you usually use the hand that correlates to your dominant eye. I’m left-eye dominant (ish) but right-handed, I learned to shoot with my right hand, & I Really Really Suck. Ben Conrad might have been mixed handed in that way, writing with his left, shooting with his right. Except for them seeing him in the window that is.
Ooh I love a landline -u-
Sure bestie cuz that’s how it worked.
I actually just remembered, I DID see another episode after this on network TV, but it was way in the future & beckett said “I still don’t have a house” & I’m like ‘so she did survive & her home did get blown up, huh’

—♡—
It had been a few hours since Y/N arrived at home. She changed into an oversized shirt and a comfy pair of shorts. To be honest, she has never tutored anyone before, except for her baby brother Aaron. With Aaron it was just 1+1 or 2x3, you know? The basics.
"Mom, someone's coming over tonight!" She called out from upstairs,
"Who will?"
Y/N didn't know what to say. Her parents knew about Michael, and how they broke up. She didn't want her mom to know that it was him who would be coming over. Why hide it? She'll see him anyways.
"Michael! Michael Langdon!" Y/N went downstairs to finally face her mom.
"Wait, your ex?"
"Yeah.."
Her mom laughed, "Oh my, looks like something's gonna happen~" She said in a sing-song tone while she prepared dinner.
Y/N rolled her eyes, "Oh my goood mom! That was 2 years ago, he just asked if I could tutor him. Apparently, he's failing."
"He's what? Failing? Isn't he one of the top students in your batch?"
"Yeah, I honestly don't know what happened to hi—"
Ding Dong!
Oh my god, She felt her heart beating fast.
Y/N walked to the front door and opened it, and there he was. Michael Langdon in his grey sweatpants and black hoodie.
"Hey, Y/N." Michael greeted, giving her a smile.
Y/N looked him up and down,
"Hi." She gave him a sarcastic look and stepped out of the way, gesturing him to come in.
Y/N's mom squealed, "Oh my, Michael! Look how you've grown!" She squeezed him into a hug and it made Michael laugh.
Aaron came down the stairs to see what the fuss was about. When he saw Michael, he rushed towards him and hugged his thigh.
"Michaeeeelll!! You're here!" Aaron giggled
Aaron loved Michael a lot. When Y/N and Michael were still together, he would always play with him.
"Hey, slugger! Now you've grown alot too, huh?" Michael kneeled down to his height and ruffled his hair, "Yup! I'm a big boy now." Aaron said proudly with his chin up.
Slugger. That was the nickname Michael gave him.
"Is Michael staying over?" Aaron pouted and gave her puppy eyes.
Y/N panicked. How was she gonna explain?
"Well, he actually came over to study for school, but he—"
"Of course I'll stay over! Anything for you, slugger." Michael cut her off. Y/N widened her eyes, making a 'what the fuck are you doing?!?!' expression at him.
Y/N faked a cough, "Aaron, go stay with mom okay? Michael and I will be studying now."
Aaron whined and crossed his arms. "But I wanna play with Michaaael!!"
"You'll do that later. After all, he said that he'll be staying over." She looked over to Michael and gave him a sarcastic smile.
After a few moments of arguing with Aaron, Y/N and Michael finally went upstairs. "Your room changed alot." Michael said as he looked around her room for the first time in 2 years. Once Y/N shut the door, she stormed over to Michael.
"Langdon what the fuck was that down there?!?! I only allowed you to come over, not stay over! Where will you even sleep?!"
"In a bed, duh."
Y/N slapped his forehead, causing Michael to wince at the pain.
"Are you that stupid?! Sleep on the fucking floor!" She hid her face in her hands out of frustration, then lifting her head again. "You know what? Fuck it. I don't care anymore."
"So if you move negative four here, what will you get?" Y/N asked, pointing her pencil on the equation. It's now 8PM, Michael and her were studying the last subject for the day, which was Math.
Michael analyzed the problem, then wrote down the answer. "Fifty.. three?" He slid the paper to her direction. While Y/N was checking his solution, he received a message from Duncan.
Dunc 🖕🏻: how's tutoring going?
Michael: its fine ig, lmao im staying over 😴
Dunc 🖕🏻: yooo what?? where you gonna sleep?
Michael: beside her? idk im still gonna play video games with her brother so i guess i'll sleep beside her 😶
Michael: brb shes done checking my solution
"Michael," She called for his attention, He let out a hum in response. "Your solution is correct.. But to avoid confusion, change this into an arrow instead of an equal sign, because it isn't the final answer yet." Y/N pointed out his mistake and circled it with a mechanical pencil.
Michael smiled. despite this 'trying to get her trust back' thing, he thought that Y/N was adorable like this. Focused with academics. He admired her alot.
Y/N looked over at Michael, "Langdon, are you even listening?" She snapped her fingers in attempt to catch Michael's attention.
Michael went back to reality, "Yeah. I get it now, thanks Y/N." Michael got his paper back and saw all the check marks. While Michael was distracted with his paper, Y/N stood up and streched. "They're all correct?" He looked up at her and asked in fake disbelief. Y/N rolled her eyes, "Duh, what are all the check marks for, dimwit?" She furrowed her eye brows and made her way to the door.
She glanced over at the clock beside her mirror, it was already 8:15 PM. "Hey, we have to go down for dinner now." She looked over to him and opened the door. Michael stood up and made his way to the door, stopping by the mirror, "Damn, I'm hot." Michael said as he praised his reflection in the mirror. When Y/N heard this, she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at him.
"Yeah sure, maybe in a different planet." She insulted, playfully hitting his arm.
"Oh c'mon Y/N, you miss me." Michael leaned on the wall with the support of his arm. Y/N shut the door.
"What makes you say that, Langdon?" She crossed her arms and leaned against the door.
"I've seen the way you look at me, baby. Admit it, you miss me, you wanna kiss me, you wanna be mine all over again."
"Don't hit me with your 'say you miss me, say you wanna kiss me.' shit, Langdon. I'm not that stupid," Y/N pulled on the neckline of Michael's hoodie, signalling him to come closer. Now, their faces were a few centimeters apart.
"Let's face the facts here, Langdon. Actually? you want me." She pulled him even closer, her lips ghosting over his. Michael moved closer in attempt to kiss her, yet to no avail. Y/N smirked and pushed him away. "You know, you're better than that." She gave him a little tap on the cheek and left the room, slamming the door in his face.
Michael was speechless. Y/N did change, a lot.
"So what brings you here, Michael?" Y/N's father asked, eating a slice of steak that was on his plate. "I'm currently failing some of my classes and I asked Y/N if she could help me. Luckily, she agreed." Michael looked over to Y/N and gave her a smile. She kicks him under the table, causing him to flinch.
"Will you be staying over, Michael? It's getting late." Y/N's mother asked this time, "If that would be okay with you, Mrs. Y/L/N." Michael replied, looking over to Y/N again.
Well, let's say that everyone looked at Y/N after Michael said that.
The silence made Y/N glance at them, "Why are you all looking at me..?" She said in a confused tone, her mom shot her a 'is it okay if he sleeps in your room' look. Y/N sighed, "Fine, he'll sleep in my room." Now, everyone went back to what they were doing.
After dinner, Y/N's mom called up Michael's parents to inform them that he would be staying for the night.
Y/N was washing the dishes tonight, and of course Michael volunteered to help her.
"Why did you even volunteer? You hate washing dishes, Langdon." She said as she cleaned a dirty plate with the soap filled sponge.
"Oh c'mon, Y/N. Can't I change?" He replied, rinsing one of the dishes that Y/N cleaned.
Y/N scoffed, "You? Change?"
Michael elbowed her side, "Hey, I did change!"
"Whatever." She went back to what she was doing cleaned the rest of the dishes, ignoring Michael's statement.
After a few more dishes, her hair started to slip away from the loose ponytail she made earlier. Her hands were slippery and full of soap, if she were to wash her hands and fix her hair, then go back to washing the dishes, her hands would be wet again. Plus, the drying towel was on Michael's side. So she asked for his help.
"Michael," Her voice was soft. Softer than usual. "Yea?" Michael replied, still rinsing the dishes.
"Can you please tie my hair up? It's slipping away."
"Hold on." Michael shook the water off his hands and dried it using the towel beside him, while Y/N turned her back over to his direction. Michael removed the hair tie and bit on it. He started gathering her hair from the top, combing his fingers through her soft, silky hair. He was very gentle. After he gathered her hair, he removed the hair tie from his teeth and tied her hair, careful not to tug too hard.
Y/N turned around to face him, "Hm, maybe you did change," Michael was curious when she paused. "Because you used to be so aggressive when you tied my hair." She joked and finished off the dishes that were left.
It's now 11 pm. Michael is in Aaron's room playing video games, and Y/N is alone in her room, doing some extra school work that was due for next week.
Like any other Friday night, girls like Y/N's age would be out partying like there was no tomorrow. After that one time she was really drunk and a guy touched her inappropriately, she never went out partying again.
Once Y/N finished her school work, she decided to take a shower. She wanted to take advantage of Michael's absence and stay in the shower longer than usual. Like a typical teenage girl, she would blast music in the shower, dancing and singing like she had a whole audience to perform for.
Y/N wrapped a towel around her body and left the bathroom to get her clothes from the dresser. Little did she know, Michael was back from her brother's room.
"I see you still have that body, huh?" Michael smirked and looked her up and down. Y/N turned around to see Michael on her bed. Her instincts told her to scream and throw an object at him, so she did.
"What the fuck are you doing here?!"
"Chill, it's not like you haven't sent me your nudes before." Michael dodged whatever she threw at him and laughed.
"Yea, and I regret sending those to your ugly ass. If I could turn back time, I would've sent them to your hot bestfriend, Duncan was it?" She turned around again to get her clothes from the dresser. Michael walked over to her and grabbed her neck from behind,
"What did you fucking say?" He growled in her ear. She smirked and bat her eyelashes innocently at him.
"I said, I would've sent them to Duncan. You should set me up with him, hm?" Y/N knew what she was doing, "Aww, is little Mikey getting jealous?" She mocked in fake sympathy. She removed his hand from her neck, turned around to face him and gave him a pout. 
Michael was furious. What has gotten into him? He doesn't even love her. He just fell into a stupid bet just to fuck some girl's pussy after he fucks with her ex's feelings. But why does he feel like this? Like he needs to have Y/N only for himself?
Before Y/N went back to the bathroom to get dressed, she just had to get on Michael’s nerves again, as if she wasn’t already. At this point, she could literally see fire in his eyes. He was really mad. But why?
"Look at you, Mikey. You can't respond when you react." She giggled and gave him a quick nose boop as the cherry on top for her little act. But she wasn't getting away so fast. When she turned her back on him, Michael aggresively wrapped his hand around her neck and pulled her, securing an arm around her waist.
"Where do you think you're going, you little shit? You aren't getting away easily after that stunt." The grip on Y/N's throat slowly tightened. "W-Wh... Why are you so mah-d.. Huh?" She managed to choke out.
Michael left soft kisses against her neck, while slowly loosening the grip on her throat. "See, Mikey? You're the one who misses me." Y/N whimpered, using her free hand to pull on Michael's hair in hopes of prying him off, but he was stubborn. Y/N whispered in his ear, "Whatever it is you're trying to do, Langdon, I'll never give in." She pushed her elbow into his ribs, causing Michael to groan. Finally, Y/N goes back to her bathroom to get dressed.
Once she leaves, Michael punches the nearest wall in frustration. He hated rejection. The girls that he usually fucked with never turned him down, they always wanted more. Why wouldn't it work on Y/N?
Michael sat on the long side of her bed, still thinking about what happened earlier. He couldn't believe that she could play with him like that. It made him look like he was the desperate one, which he is.
He took out his phone to text Duncan about what happened.
Michael: yo dunc, something happened
Dunc 🖕🏻: what happened? slr i'm at a party
Michael: bro she's a tough little shit. i did the usual thing that i would do to another girl, she didn't give in at all. instead, she's playing with me.
Dunc 🖕🏻: lmao man step up your game, she isn't your usual girl
Michael: dumbass you think i'm not?
Dunc 🖕🏻: duh??? if you were actually stepping up your game then you would've fucked her there and then 🙄
Michael: whatever.
Once he heard her bathroom door open, he immediately hid his phone back in his pocket. He looked over his shoulder to see Y/N already dressed in her pajamas. Michael didn't know what to do. His angelic side says to 'go and say sorry', yet his devilish side says to 'try harder and fuck with her feelings even more.' Of course, it was obvious what is choice was.
Y/N plopped herself on the bed and grabbed her blanket that was near Michael. She then placed the blanket over her and locked eyes with him.
Michael crawled beside her and placed the blanket over him as well. They are a few inches apart. Y/N turned the TV on, clicking on Netflix. Though she tried her best to ignore Michael, she can't help but think about what happened earlier. She liked it. No, she loved it. She loved the fact that she was able to get on Michael's nerves, and how he reacted to it. It was hella attractive to her, and the smell of Michael's perfume wasn't helping her either.
Now, Y/N was watching some cartoon show that she loved. "Are you kidding? You still watch cartoons?" Michael complained, gesturing at the TV. "Yea? What about it? I bet you only watch porn." She shot back and pulled the blanket towards her, leaving Michael without it.
Michael laughed, "I just can't believe a girl like you would watch cartoons. I find it cute." He pulled the blanket towards him, sticking his tongue out to tease her.
A few minutes passed by and Michael was on his phone, scrolling on TikTok. The same sound that kept repeating for almost a minute caught Y/N's attention. Was he watching the same video?
Y/N paused the TV and looked over to Michael's direction, averting her gaze to his phone. She took a good look at the video. a shirtless boy with a gold chain, with LED lights in their room.
"You've been watching that video over and over again, Langdon. Do you like him or something?"
"Yea, I like myself."
Like myself? Oh my god, no.
"What do you mean..?" That can't be him in the video.
"That's me."
Y/N's mouth dropped, "Wha— huh? How? I mean, yeah.. but?"
Michael let out a laugh that he had been holding in, "But what? Look, I'll show you." He handed her his phone, which allowed Y/N to have a closer look of the video.
"So you're telling me you blew up on tiktok by thrusting a phone on your pelvis??" Y/N stared at the amount of likes, a fucking million.
"Uh, yeah? That's how TikTok works? Look at the comments." Michael tapped the comments icon and Y/N scrolled through it.
'yo im down bad 😫'
'can we keep him a secret pls'
'chill i have a bf..'
'break my back 🤪'
Y/N bursted out in laughter, "Oh my god, if only they knew." she gave his phone back and Michael looked at her with a puzzled look.
"Knew what?" He asked, "You couldn't even 'break my back' two years ago, Michael!" She said in between giggles. "That was two years ago, Y/N! Two fucking years. I was a virgin!" Michael defended himself, then immediately realizing what he said.
Y/N wasn't aware that she was Michael's first.
"Wait Y/N, the last part isn't tru—"
She smirked and grabbed her phone from wherever she left it. She opened Twitter and decided to tweet about what Michael said, just for fun.
just wanted to let yall know that @m_langdon admitted that 2 years ago he lost his virginity to me 🤩
"What are you typing and why are you smiling?" Michael asked with a hint of fear in his voice. He feared that Y/N would do something that would tear his reputation down.
Y/N gave him a mischievous grin, "Oh nothing, just tweeted about what you said."
Michael's face fell, and Y/N hit the tweet button.
"Did you twee—"
"Yeah, go check your Twitter. I tagged you too."
Michael shot her a slight glare and went to his Twitter.
Y/N's tweet already had 5 retweets, 14 likes, and 8 replies.
"You did not." Michael said, shocked at how she would do something like this. "Ooh sorry babe, I just did." She faked a pout and formed a letter 'L' with her hand.
Michael felt embarrassment fill him, he wanted to scream at her so bad. He never thought that she would go this far. She was never like this.
He took a deep breath, "Why did you tweet that?"
"And you have the audacity to ask why?"
"Delete that tweet, Y/N." His voice was demanding and dark.
"Or what?"
Michael slowly started to kneel on the bed and hover over her. "You don't want to know."
Y/N smirked and fixed her posture, "Infact, I'd like to know. Care to tell me?” 
Michael clearly wasn’t having any of her shit, he was more than angry. He wanted to release all of his frustrations, and he was gonna do that. 
He trapped her by placing a leg on each side of her left thigh. Surprisingly, Y/N did not shrink against the headboard of the bed. She remained in her place. Their faces are centimeters apart now, 
“Now what, Langdon? Just gonna stare at me? Pathetic shit.” She cupped his face and stroked his cheek mockingly, then dragging her thumb against his bottom lip. 
“Shut the fuck up.” Michael swatted her hand away and crashed his lips again hers. The kiss was so intense, Michael hasn’t kissed any girl like this, it was a foreign feeling for him, and especially for Y/N. Michael’s free hand started roaming throughout her body, tickling her soft flesh. Meanwhile, Y/N was tugging on Michael’s hoodie, “Take this off.” She pulled away from the kiss and gasped for air. Michael took off his hoodie and revealed his naked chest infront of her.
Y/N felt weak. She wanted to fight this feeling so bad, which was lust. But it was too late.
"Fuck me, Michael.." Y/N whimpered, ashamed of her current state. Michael ran his thumb over her bottom lip, "What was that? I didn't catch it." He pouted, teasing her. Y/N couldn't believe herself. She promised herself that she would never fall for any of Michael's antics, yet here she is— completely submitting to him.
Y/N cleared her throat, "Fuck me please.." Michael cocked his head to the side, amused. He was enjoying this. He loved it so much. He finally had Y/N where he wanted her to be, wrapped around his little finger.
Michael's lips ghosted against her cheek, his breath warming up her skin. "Gladly."
And it begins now.

watched s11ep1
i will provide you with a quick review before i disappear back into the ether of twd avoidance
lots of spoilers under the cut. also i wrote way too much and i worked all night and haven’t slept so i didn’t bother to reread literally any of it, so it might be completely nonsensical, tho if you don’t expect that from me by this point idk whose blog you’ve been reading
enjoy:
hokay, first off, i’ll start by saying that i enjoyed it more than i expected to. i’ve been avoiding any sort of discussion about stuff, but my google algorithm is so fucked at this point that i still get recommended articles and stuff every now and then, so i was already pretty aware of what i was walking into, and was expecting it to be eh, but actually i prob enjoyed it more than i enjoyed the finale
(don’t get too excited tho, the finale was rly boring lmfao)
anyway
episode starts off with a tense scouting mission
it takes .005 seconds into the episode for caryl to exchange a look of longing, establishing that they are still having weird conflict and are both too fucking stubborn to do anything about it even tho they hate it desperately
i imagine that will continue for a while
rosita, kelly, carol, maggie, what’s her face with the bad hair, and lydia (i think that’s everyone?) lower down to some army bunker or something, where a bunch of walkers are taking a snooze, and the girls are very respectful of walker naptime, and do their best not to wake them up
obviously they eventually wake up, but i’ll get to that in a sec
as they’re tiptoeing through the walker tulips, there’s this split second where carol spots a machine gun, and looks at maggie with a face like, “can i plzzzz, i am mad horny for that machine gun,” but maggie tells her no. (i 110% expected her to defy orders and accidentally wake up all the walkers, but she actually behaved herself for once. well. mostly)
never fear, tho, after the girl gang collects a bunch of MREs they go back to wait for the dudes waiting up top to pull them up, and bc men ruin everything, one of the ropes break, and daryl catches it before it falls, but then a slow motion drop of blood falls on a walker’s face, and just like that, walker naptime is over, and carol uses her bow and arrow for two seconds before she is like “fuck this” and whips out the machine gun
yes, she is super hot using it
yes, daryl watches her do it
anyway, all the other girls get rescued, and carol is about to be pulled up, but bc she is a #girlboss, she first makes a beeline for one more crate full of MREs. daryl covers her while she gets the loot, and when she gets back up top they have another charged moment as carol hands him back his knife
just fuck already, jfc
titles!
cut to alexandria where everything is still not smilestimes
BUT, we do get to see uncle daryl run and hug rj and judith (and dog), and FUCKING HERSHEL JR, LIGHT OF MY LIFE is also there
istg, they could not have casted a better child, i a d o r e him
oh, and some friends of maggie’s show up too, idk
cut to a staff meeting where everyone is like, whomp whomp, we’re all gonna starve to death unless we figure out something quick
cue maggie going, “oh, i know where food is, but it requires me to tell you my tragic backstory, in case anyone didn’t watch my bottle episode”
she tells her dramatic backstory about all her friends getting slaughtered by the reapers for no apparent reason, and then she’s like “anyway, let’s go back there!”
no one thinks it’s a great idea, but a group of people decide to go anyway, including daryl and gabriel. rosita is super pissed that gabriel is going, and carol doesn’t go, probably partly bc it’s a shitty fucking idea, and also bc they have to keep caryl apart bc otherwise they’ll fix their problems ahead of schedule and they won’t be able to drag out the needless angst
daryl looks kind of annoyed that carol doesn’t volunteer to go 
bitch, i thought you wanted her to stop putting herself in the line of fire! make up your damn mind!
moving on
cut to a thunderstorm, where, if you look closely, you’ll notice daryl is wearing the STUPIDEST hat i’ve ever seen. just get an umbrella, jfc
for some reason negan is with them, bc ig he knows his way around washington dc, and no one in six years has bothered to figure out how to get around the city and/or get a map, and he is like “hey guys, maybe we shouldn’t try to walk in this fucking hurricane,” and everyone is like “FUCK YOU NEGAN, YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF US!!!” 
this will be a common occurrence 
but eventually daryl is even like “actually, it’s rly unpleasant out here, and my hat is mad stupid, can we go inside plz?”
so they go inside an old metro station, which is actually a rly cool cinematic choice. i rly like the idea, and they executed it rly well
speaking of executions
there are some fucking RULL CREEPY walkers. idk why they bothered me so badly, but they were what they at first assumed were corpses wrapped up in tarps, but turns out none of them had been properly put down, so they go through killing these rotted bodies that had supposedly been there since The Fall, and it’s very gross and cool
this entire time, btw, negan is like “hey, i know i’m a shitty person, but i have some rational arguments about why we shouldn’t be doing this right now,” and everyone is like, “FUCK YOU NEGAN, YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF US!!!” and he’s just like “god fucking damnit”
(i forgot to mention that at one point, when they’re headed into the metro station, negan is trying to warn ppl of the potential danger, and everyone is ignoring him, and he tries to talk to daryl, and daryl is like “fuck you, you think we’re BUDDIES?” and negan is like “oh, ok, so you’re gonna be like that too? fanfreakingtastic” and it’s very funny)
anyway. a fat monster zombie escapes its tarp at one point, and tries to eat some npc, and negan saves him, again is like “hey, anyone else realize that this is a FUCKING BAD PLAN?”, and everyone is like “we don’t care, you’re still shitty and we’re not listening to you, and you don’t actually care about random npc i would literally not be able to pick out in a lineup bc his face is so generic, you’re not the boss of us!!!”
it’s at this point that negan finally is like, “why am i even here? bc i know how to get around washington dc? do none of you have a map?” and i was like, “right?! that’s what i said!” 
it’s then revealed that maggie only brought negan along to murder him under the guise of “oops, he got hurt in the line of duty, it wasn’t my fault,” and daryl has this look on his face that says, “i seriously need to stop hanging out with lethal women bent on revenge bc it’s gonna give me high blood pressure,” and maggie has a badass moment where she points a gun she has for some reason at negan and is like “i have like, one shred of human compassion left inside of me, and if you keep pushing me i will fucking kill you without a second thought, so shut the hell up”
(in her defense, negan had just dropped glenn’s name to purposely antagonize her, which was rude as hell)
(for the record, i’m completely on maggie’s side here, but negan still is right that trapping themselves in a metro station is a bad call)
anyway, moving away from that briefly
i think this jump cut happens sooner, i don’t actually remember, but whatever who cares, point is, we get to the part of the show that actually matters, and that’s anything involving my love, juanita “princess” sanchez
and also eugene, yumiko, and ezekiel
they are being asked increasingly invasive questions by commonwealth ppl, some of which i wish they actually would of answered (what do they use to wipe their asses with?? surely toilet paper has long since become extinct)
zeke, who is so much more tolerable as a character now that he’s not larping as a king, has this incredibly weird and sort of sexually charged moment with a dude in an orange stormtrooper costume, where he’s like, “i bet you were an asshole cop back before The Fall, you stupid fascist, #fuckthepolice, mb literally? idk, this moment has a lot of pent up aggression that could easily translate to hate sex, it might just be the intense eye contact, but w/e, let’s just move along,” and then he has a coughing fit to remind the audience that he’s currently dying of cancer, and orange stormtrooper is like “lolz, loser, drink some water you dumb piece of shit”
cut to the wholesome foursome sitting at a picnic table in a guarded courtyard eating gruel, and yumkio, who finally has a personality, and princess are like “hey, this place fucking sucks, can we leave?” and zeke is like, “yeah, i met this orange stormtrooper who i think might be dtf and/or murder, so we should probably bounce”
but eugene is like, “but i want some hot stephanie ass, and also some bullshit excuse about how mb commonewealth will save alexandria” which, they left before things went super downhill, right? idr. it was after hilltop fell, but they don’t know alexandria got fucked either, if i recall? w/e, not important
two seconds after he says this, they talk to some people who are like “we’ve been here for four months, or maybe it’s been nine, i don’t actually remember, i’ve stopped processing the passage of time,” and the wholesome foursome takes this as a bad sign, tho that’s just the life i’ve lived as a night worker during a pandemic, so i was like #mood
but then they watch some guy get dragged away screaming to get “reprocessed” and eugene is like “ok, nvm, let’s bounce”
(my theory on what “reprocessing” is, is that they’re stuck in a room and have to watch hours and hours of customer service training videos on vhs from the 90s)
i definitely got my jump cut scenes mixed up bc i think the negan accusing maggie of a murder plot thing happened in between this scene and then the next commonwealth scene, but w/e, i’ll just finish what happens in the commonwealth arch
the wholesome foursome are trying to hatch a plan to escape, except princess, my love, is distracted watching some stormtroopers flirt, and the other three are like “wtf, dude, how can you even tell any of them apart?” and princess then tells them every stormtroopers backstory bc she is brilliant and pays rly close attention to shit, and the other three are like, “this is useful information, thank you for being an insane person”
their plan involves yumiko and eugene dressing up as stormtroopers and leading princess and zeke out of the place, which works fine actually, except on their way out they come across the Depressing Wall of Probably Mostly Dead Missing Loved Ones
they’re about to leave, when princess is like, “wait, yumiko, you’re on here, that’s weird huh?”
sure enough, yumiko  is on the wall, with a note from ig her sister 
the scene ends with yumiko going, “guys...i can’t leave...i have tragic backstory to unveil”
tragic backstory to be continued ig
back in murder metro town, npc and some other npc have stolen all the supplies, there’s a train blocking the track, and a horde of walkers are coming towards them, so things are not going fantastic
they horde is too big to take down, so they start to climb on top of the train car to get away
but dog runs away!
and daryl, being every pet owner ever, is like “gotta go get my dog, guys, try not to get killed while i’m gone, c u soon!” and he ducks under the train and disappears
#priorities
the episode ends with maggie climbing up the train car but getting grabbed by a walker and dangling off the edge, and negan is there and they have a lion king moment where maggie is like, “scar! help me!” and negan is like “long live the king, bitch” and walks away into the shadows, leaving maggie to a potential death
which, while i know isn’t actually going to happen, would be a really fucking funny move on the writers’ part
like, “look, lauren’s back! and now she’s dead, bet you didn’t expect that!”
anyway
my assumption is negan will actually end up helping her up or something, continuing his ambiguous morality bullshit that actually isn’t ambiguous bc he BEAT GLENN TO DEATH WITH A FUCKING BAT WRAPPED IN BARBED WIRE IN FRONT OF HIS PREGNANT WIFE
the maggie/negan arch is kind of dumb, but whatevs, i’ll tolerate it, as long as my boy glenn gets justice in the end
anyway, cue credits!
final assessment: good episode. i’m much more interested in commonwealth than the reapers, tho i am hoping that daryl’s personality-less ex turns out to be a monster killing machine with no conscience, that’ll be fun. princess is a gift from god. hershel jr needs his own tv show. needs more carol (and caryl)
the end! going back into my walking dead free chamber! see you next episode!

Modern Au where the gaang is under the same dance company
A few things before I start writing everything is that I am changing the ages so here they are when the main story happens ig?? Here they are:
Zuko: 16
Mai: 16
Ty Lee: 15
Sokka: 15
Suki: 15
Katara: 14
Aang: 14
Toph: 14
Azula: 14
Anyways, here we go!
•Ozai is killed by Ursa when Zuko is 12 and Azula is ten
•Which sucks of course, and because this man owns a super famous dance company thing, the police have to investigate
•They question Ursa, Iroh, Lu Ten(yeah he’s alive thank you), Zuko and Azula
•They quickly realize that Ozai was super abusive
•Instead of looking for his murder(which they are pretty sure is Ursa or Iroh), they say it was a suicide (normally I would say acab but police can be okay here)
•Ursa takes over the dance company and renames it to Roku Dance or something
•Before it was named after Sozin, and that’s yuck
•Anyways, all of the dancers that Ozai ever chose were Fire Nation dancers
•So Ursa immediately decides to hire an Earth Kingdom group called “The Kyoshi Warriors”
•They are comprised of dancers who are all about 14-18 besides one girl
•Suki!!! Anyways, 11 year old Suki meets 12 Zuko and they are friends really quickly
•It’s really nice for Zuko because he doesn’t have friends :(
•The Kyoshi Warriors see how close Zuko and Suki are and just go:
•Oh Suki you should be doing duets with think boy ;)
•So that’s what goes on with Suki and Zuko
•Also Zuko is blind in his eye where the scar would be, but since Ozai got murdered that DIDNT HAPPEN
•So Zuko is just blind in that eye
•His school decides that he should be friends with a girl name Toph because “!!Zuko!! She’s!!! Blind!!!”
•Zuko hates this at first because he hates being forced to get along with people
•But Toph is cool
•So Zuko, Suki and Toph are a little trio for a while
•About a year later, Zuko is living in a little apartment type thing in the dance studio (sh it’s my AU and I have my reasons) because his mom and step-dad’s house is far away from his school which is very close to the dance studio
•Suki has the same situation just as the Kyoshi warriors do, she has her own little apartment thing
•Mai, Azula and Ty Lee have their little apartment thing too (because I said so)
•One day, Zuko finds this boy Aang, who is 12 and was raised by monks
•He just ran away because...
•Honestly your choice
•Anyways, Zuko is like “Oh bro, you can stay in my apartment for a bit.”
•Aang is super excited because, wow!! People who aren’t monks!!
•Toph and Aang get along right away
•Suki thinks he’s chill
•So Zuko pleads with Ursa to let Aang stay
•And she does!! Because Aang can dance!!!
•Anyways, Aang and Zuko share an apartment and become really good friends
•At some point they adopt a puppy and name him Appa
•They regret adopting him as a puppy because he was a lap dog when he was tiny, but is now giant and almost crushes people
•They also adopt a ferret that they name Momo
•Zuko adopts a lizard and names him Druk
•Aang refers to the three animals as his and Zuko’s children
•Zuko hates this but eventually gives in
•Then!!! When Zuko is 16, Ursa accepts this girl named Katara to be in the dance studio!!
•Katara so excited!! Her fathers(I said Bakoda rights) move her and her older brother Sokka to the place where the dance studio is
•Katara begs Sokka to come with her and he obliges
•They walk in expecting to see a bunch of dancers practicing some really hard music
•Instead they see
•A boy will blue arrow tattoos sitting on the back of a girl doing push-ups (Inspired by a post that I will link at the bottom because Tumblr is being RUDE) the boy is on his phone
•A boy with a very neat bun and gold eyes(Sokka notes that last part in his mind) is sitting on the floor and there is a giant fluffy dog sitting on top of him
•A girl with short hair just laying on the ground
•Katara is just like, “Uh?? Hi???”
•She gets a hi from all of them
•The boy with the tattoos calls out “That’s 69 Toph!”
•The girl, (Apparently Toph is her name)doing the push-ups, just calls back “Nice”
•Sokka is like “Okay Katara, I’m going to go”
•The girl on the floor hoists herself up onto her elbows and is like, “You can stay if you want, it’s not like anyone else is here today”
•Sokka is confused because?? Aren’t people supposed to be there
•Suki explains that this specific dance studio has the Kyoshi Warriors; Whatever Azula, Ty Lee and Mai’s trio is called; Zuko; Aang; and now Katara
•The Kyoshi Warriors (besides Suki, since she accidentally sprained her ankle) are at competition and so are Azula, Ty Lee and Mai
•Katara gives Sokka a pleading look so he complies(though he really shouldn’t)
•And that is how Sokka and Katara meet the rest of the gaang
If I write this (I probably won’t haha) it’ll feature Zukka, Kataang, Toph x Suki(no I don’t know the ship name thank you very much) Tyzula(but Azula won’t be toxic because I just want them to be happy), and Bakoda.

Title: Some Things Never Change
Fandom: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Pairing: Raphael/Ignatz
Word Count: 1442
Warnings: None
Summary: Five years was a long time to be apart, and Ignatz was slightly worried that everything would change between him and Raphael. Luckily for both of them, it appeared that some things would never change.
Written for @ferarepair-week 2019 Day 6, Prompt: Change
“Hurry, Lorenz! It’s getting late!”
“Patience, Ignatz, we are going as fast as we can.”
Ignatz frowned as his brow furrowed, and his grip tightened around Lorenz. Lorenz’s horse galloped at a thunderous pace down the road leading to Garreg Mach Monastery, where they were hoping to reunite with their classmates and professor after five long years apart. He hoped that everyone would make it, despite the war that had been ravaging Fodlan all these years, and there was one person in particular that he was worried the most about.
“Raphael…” Ignatz whispered to himself, clenching his jaw as he tried to fight off the pit of dread forming in his gut. When the war had begun five years ago, Raphael and Ignatz had to regretfully part ways, as they each had families that they needed to protect. It had been a tearful goodbye on his part, but in true Raphael fashion, he was all smiles and was confident that they would see each other again. Ignatz had not forgotten the feeling of their final kiss before they parted, but five years was a long time to be apart, and Ignatz hoped that the war had not changed Raphael too much.
“Do not fret, Ignatz.” Lorenz said, glancing over his shoulder. “Raphael is a man with an abnormally high constitution. He would not let the war claim him so easily. And I feel he would not let it keep him from reuniting with you.” Ignatz blinked at Lorenz, before a small smile crossed his face.
“Yeah...I know. Thanks.”
“Think nothing of it.” Lorenz said as he looked back to the road ahead. As they approached the village just outside of Garreg Mach, Lorenz tensed up and reached behind him, pulling out his lance and taking a battle stance.
“There seems to be a commotion going on up ahead. Prepare yourself.” Lorenz said. Ignatz nodded and pulled out his bow, nocking an arrow as they galloped closer and closer to the village. Shouts and the sounds of steel hitting steel reached Ignatz’s ears, and Lorenz let out a shout of his own as he thrust his lance at a charging bandit, while Ignatz fired an arrow at one who was charging at Claude’s wyvern.
“Hey you two! It’s about time you showed up!” Claude said, turning around and waving. Ignatz waved back, and Lorenz rolled his eyes and huffed.
“What a fine mess you have managed to get yourself into. I guess it is up to me to yet again save the day.” Lorenz said, earning a chuckle from Ignatz.
“Yeah, yeah, just shut up and fight!” Claude responded as he flew off. Lorenz bid his horse to start moving again, and both he and Ignatz began dispatching as many bandits as they could. A volley of arrows hit the ground next to Lorenz’s horse, startling him and causing him to rear up. Ignatz was not prepared, and he tumbled off of the horse and hit the ground hard. Lorenz’s shouting grew distant as his horse took off, and Ignatz quickly jumped to his feet, discarding his bow so that he could instead pull out a sword.
Panting heavily, Ignatz barely managed to parry an axe attack aimed for his head, and he quickly delivered a jab to the man’s gut, sending him crumpling to the ground. He heard a shout behind him, and he turned his head to see another charging at him, and his heart sank when he realized that he would not be able to block his attack in time.
Suddenly, the charging enemy was sideswiped by a gauntlet-laden punch, and he was sent flying to the ground in a mess of blood and shredded armor. Ignatz stood frozen, blinking a few times as he tried to process what had just happened, when a booming voice hit his ears.
“Hey, Ignatz! Long time no see!”
Ignatz’s heart jumped into his throat as he looked up at Raphael’s beaming face, and his eyes immediately welled up with tears. The battle seemed to be over, so Ignatz could focus on the fact that he was finally reunited with his boyfriend after five long years. He looked the same, but yet so different. He somehow looked even more muscular than he had during their school days, and his hair was longer and fluffier. It really suited him, and Ignatz thought he looked as handsome as ever.
Ignatz yelped in surprise when Raphael wrapped his large arms around him and lifted him into his arms, laughing as he spun the stunned Ignatz around in circles. Ignatz recovered from his shock and he laughed along with Raphael, the tears he had been holding back now spilling down his face.
“Hey now,” Raphael said when he stopped spinning, a frown crossing his face as he cupped Ignatz’s, wiping away his tears with his thumb as the rolled down his cheeks under his glasses, “Why are you crying? Aren’t you happy to see me?” Ignatz smiled as he placed a hand on Raphael’s shoulder, steadying himself as he removed his glasses and rubbed an arm over his eyes to clear away the rest of his tears.
“Oh yes, Raphael, I am overjoyed. These are happy tears, I assure you.” Ignatz said, smiling fondly as his green eyes met Raphael’s honey-colored ones. Ignatz wrapped his arms around Raphael’s neck and rest his forehead against his. Raphael smiled wide and tightened his grip on Ignatz’s legs.
“Well that’s good! ‘Cause I really, really missed you! I like what you’ve done with your hair!” Raphael said in that excited booming voice that Ignatz missed so much. He chuckled and ran his fingers through Raphael’s hair, and he did not fail to notice the light blush that appeared on the larger man’s face.
“Thanks. I like your hair as well. It reminds me of a...fluffy sheep.” Ignatz said. He grinned when Raphael’s face scrunched up and he averted his gaze.
“A sheep? Really? Why not a bear, or some other cool animal?”
“I think sheep are cool. And you’re too sweet to be compared to a bear of all things.”
“Ignatz…” Raphael whispered, looking back at him as Ignatz cupped his face. Smiling softly, he closed the distance between them and kissed him, deep and tender. He felt Raphael smile against his lips, and they took their time savoring the feeling of the one that they loved, after such a long time apart.
When they finally pulled away from each other, Raphael gently set Ignatz back on his feet, and he immediately wrapped his arms around him again, pulling him into a tight hug. Ignatz’s sighed contently and rest his head upon Raphael’s broad chest, relishing in the contact and just how safe he felt wrapped in his boyfriend’s arms.
“Hey, Raph?” Ignatz lifted his head so that he was looking Raphael in the eye, “I was so worried about you the entire time we were apart, and not a moment went by that I did not think of you. I’m just...so relieved to see you safe. I don’t know what I would have done if I had lost the person that I love the most in the world.”
“No need to talk like that, Ig. All that matters now is that we’re both safe and sound, and right back where we belong: wrapped up in each other’s arms.” Raphael said, smiling as he caressed Ignatz’s cheek with the back of his hand. “I never once stopped loving you these past five years, and now that we’re together again, my love has only grown. I think my heart may burst because of how much I love you!” Ignatz laughed as Raphael punched a fist in the air to drive his point home.
“Well, I’m glad that no matter how much time we spent apart, some things will never change.” Ignatz said, pulling away as he took Raphael’s hand and entwined their fingers together.
“Yeah, you said it!” Raphael said. Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound filled the air, and Ignatz giggled as Raphael’s face flushed a bright red.
“Oops, all this excitement really made me super hungry!” he said, smacking his free hand against his stomach. “Let’s go meet up with the others and get some food!”
“Yeah, let’s go.” Ignatz said, leaning up to place a quick kiss on Raphael’s cheek before they both set off hand-in-hand to regroup with the rest of their old classmates. Indeed, it seemed that some things really would never change, and, just like Raphael’s seemingly insatiable hunger, Ignatz knew that their love for each other would always be one of those things.

so when I saw infinity war the second time, i brought a pen and a notebook with me and took notes in the dark the whole time. for my second endgame viewing yesterday, i did the same. i now present to you my Thoughts About Endgame. (this is. long.) 
Major Spoilers Ahead.
okay seriously, nobody called clint up when there was a giant invasion in wakanda??? nobody???
also it was daytime in wakanda when the snap happened. it’s also daytime wherever clint is in america when the snap happens. someone explain.
god the dawning panic when clint realizes his family is gone. that whole scene is so empty and unsettling, it was shot really well
i automatically associate 80s music with space thanks to marvel. 
tony stark adopting strays everywhere he goes since 2013.... i love this about him
nebula finally got to win something!!!! “it was fun.”
and then she gives him their final ration. i’m- :((((
back on earth..... thank god the beard is gone.
“I lost the kid” tony’s face wow that’s devastating, no thanks
“Is um...” what was tony going to say after that??
“I thought you were a build-a-bear.” “Maybe I am.” fuckign.... tony please sdfgdfg
“And I needed you.” tony :(((
“No trust. Liar.” this entire scene is just. chilling. heartbreaking. tony has nothing left for anyone, and especially nothing left for steve, except-
him ripping the metaphorical heart out of his chest and handing it to steve made me literally gasp the first time i watched this film. i feel like it hasn’t been talked about enough, but it’s incredibly poetic.
“where are you going?” “to kill thanos” i haven’t seen captain marvel but i’m already in love with carol danvers
and now they have hope, they still think they can bring everyone back... what a dangerous thing
suddenly steve is looking at his locket of peggy all the time.starting in this film only. can we let him grieve for his actual friends?? you know, the ones he just lost? does he even mention sam or bucky in the entire film?  alright russos, i have several bones to pick with you about this, but alright....
i gotta say, when i first watched this i was astounded that thanos destroyed the stones and then got beheaded in the first twenty minutes. it really left me wondering, well- what now? and that was exciting.
five years later. i mean, we knew there would be a time jump, but i wasn’t expecting this.
we’re really calling this cameo by russo representation huh
lol
and like??? steve brings up nobody he lost in the snap, instead chosing to focus on “the love of his life” that he met and lost in 1945. this struck me as odd the first time i watched and now i’m like. man they’re really trying 2 justify their later decision, huh
so they’re calling those who were snapped “The Vanished” according to the sanfran memorial
avengers r still a thing and their complex has actually grown in size?? who is funding this. is it tony
my next note just says HAIR SDFDSDFG aka heLLO carol danvers
nat :((((
crying and eating a sandwich is a mood
god. the quiet grief
natasha romanoff has come such a long way from her introduction in iron man 2. she cries freely, loves her family, actively wants to be a better person, even if a lot of her family isn’t around today. i just- love her so much.
“we both need to get a life.” “you first.” goddamnit
i.... love happy, peaceful, good dad Tony Stark, so much.
“define lunch or be disintegrated” morgan h stark is so cute
“you like going in the garage, huh? so does daddy.” tony was already so proud of her god i just :((((
me, zooming in on nat: ARROW NECKLACE
does she only wear that when she’s missing clint, or
I’m truly in my feelings about Tony being The Best Dad
Bruce apparently spent 18 months in a gamma lab, which is interesting.
god the scene with the kids asking for a selfie was so cringe are you telling me they could include this but steve couldn’t mourn for his friends
tony does dishes now. a true housedad.
that’s!!!! his first son!!!!!! :((((((
can you believe it was peter parker who pushed tony to invent time travel
“i’ve got something on my mind.” “is it juice pops?” i’m just thinking now about how howard most definitely would have sent tony straight to bed, but tony lets morgan stay up and eat juice pops with him. this is just. straight up great content.  
“I love you 3000″ can you just. his face when she says that. also i’m never getting over that phrase ever
“I can stop,” Tony says, on the brink of inventing time travel.
“But would you be able to rest?” says Pepper, who has been trying and failing to get him to stop for a good 15 years.
the parallels between this and her last words to tony. ouch.
this is such a good and steady relationship now :(.
sdfgfdfg why is steve dressing like he’s from the 40s again is this a visual sign of his regression
god they did thor so dirty in this film. not with his character- him falling into great depression and having ptsd is not a bad thing, but treating it like a joke is. the audience is invited to laugh at him. Bad.
thor threatening “noobmaster69″ over the headset for his rock friend is very funny though.
hey tokyo looks alright compared to a lot of america.
every single clintasha scene in this film kills the man.
also everyone knows thanos’s name. i assume that means the world knows why everyone disappeared.
“you’re only a genius on earth” yeah but who invented time travel, rocket
rhodey wanting to straight up murder baby thanos is hilarious
the explanations of time travel in this film give me a headache
“TIME HEIST BRAINSTORMING SESSION”
bruce, nat and tony all laying around throwing ideas back and forth.... this movie is valid sometimes
“see you in a minute,” natasha says, and she’s smiling.
this is her family you guys :(((((
NEW YORK 2012
MY FAVOURITE SCENE
omg bruce making such a halfhearted attempt at smashing things please i love
okay cut to 2013 Asgard, and Thor sneaks right by his currently dead brother without even looking at him. this movie confuses me
fuck the scene where rocket slaps thor for having a panic attack. i’m glad thor ended up abandoning him.
okay so everything important happens between 2012-2014
cap/tony/scott, clintasha, nebula/rhodey.... these are such ideal teamups
“we’re a long way from budapest” give me my clintasha movie, marvel!!!
okay back in 2012, HOW did JARVIS not register the fact that there were two steves and two tonys in Stark Tower
god this entire scene is fucking hilarious the entire mcu was worth everything for the 2012 time travel scene
fuckign.... loki
ELEVATOR SCENE
as a cap 2 stan i feel so validated
HA IL HYDRA
WHEN I SAY I GASPED IN DELIGHT
CAP VS CAP
“I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY”
“YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW”
sadfgfdfg are u really telling me that cap takes the peggy locket everywhere
BUCKY IS ALIVE
THAT IS AMERICAS ASS SDFGFSDF PLEASE
2012 avengers best avengers
meanwhile the sorcerer lady is giving bruce a time travel lesson and i didn’t understand any of it but basically each reality requires six stones in order to not be torn apart by the forces of darkness? ??
I’m just glad thor got some kind of closure by talking to his mom
side note you can definitely tell that frigga raised loki
“EAT A SALAD”
“i’m still worthy” asdfgfdf yeah but now this timeline thor has no hammer!!!
QUILL SDFGFDSDFGHFDS
this movie is so entertaining
i live for nebula and rhodey just judging everyone
so do the guardians just.... not happen in the 2014 timeline?
gamora is ready to Fight thanos when the maw threatens nebula
was that young alexander pierce headed underground in 1970?
bone 2 pick with this whole time travel thing
thor got closure by talking to his mom
tony got closure by talking to his dad
steve saw peggy working, successful and thriving, through a window. closure where????
he should have gotten a chance to talk to her and received closure that way.
hank pym is an asshole but i guess we already knew that
“my wife is expecting” so tony was born 1970/1971 ig
howard’s dad beat him with a belt. i suppose every stark does a little better parenting-wise
Jarvis!!!!!!! agent carter is canon!!!!
vormir oh god here we go
“under different circumstances, this would be totally awesome” i’m inclined to agree with clint
this part goddamit
handholding :((((
my next note just says “aveng ers 1 paralels fu k”
the way this was filmed was beautiful. the colours, the lighting, the acting, the dialogue, the parallels to the first clintasha fight in avengers 1..... if natasha had to die, this was.... a good death, i think.
“damn you!”
“it’s okay.”
clint is begging her this hurts so much :(((
god. tears.
clint just sobbing in the water with the soul stone in his hand hits some kind of way
where is natasha’s funeral, huh??? why does steve shed like one (1) tear?
also why does the gauntlet need to physically be snapped like what does that dO
i just realized that thor’s fake eye is amber.
Infinity Stones:
almost killed thanos after 2 uses
destroyed bruce’s arm
killed tony
imagine an alternate scene where all six original avengers survived until this point and all of them held one stone as they snapped thanos’s army out of existence. that would have been the ultimate fanservice and i would have astral projected. anyway we’re getting off topic
“don’t change anything from the last five years.” what tony means is “please don’t erase my daughter”.
SNAP
yay they did it except-
how did everyone survive thanos blowing up the avengers compound
2014 gamora sounds just- slightly different than 2018 gamora. a little harsher. the guardians haven’t yet softened her edges.
“we become sisters” and suddenly gamora has hope
i- did that lightning just braid thor’s hair sdfgdsdfgh
this is a harsher thanos. thanos who died in 2018 had been changed. weakened, maybe.
thor, cap and tony fought in avengers one. now, they’re fighting thanos together.
l just. love that clint has a sword now.
“he won’t let me” nebula.... :(((((( and she dies crying
i have a note here that says “thor’s lightning + tony = c o o l”
STEVE WITH MJOLNIR
ASDFGFSDF FUCK THIS WAS WORTH EVERYTHING MARVEL HAS EVER PUT ME THROUGH
LIGHTNING POWERS
i LIVE
oooh it’s personal for thanos now
ON
YOUR
LEFT
the portals scene fUCK
this is just. worth it. on every level.
PETER AND TONY
“this is nice” please :((((((
poor peter quill gets snapped, gamora’s loss fresh in his mind, then he thinks he’s gotten her back and she’s not the gamora he knew. ouch.
tell me why everyone but steve gets a reunion scene lol
peter introducing himself to everyone!!!! he’s so sweet.
CAPTAIN MARVEL HAS ARRIVED
i’m gay. oh my god.
hhhhgn hair
GIRLS
this is fanservice!!! as in, i am a fan and i feel fuckign SERVICED
thor duel welding mjolnir and stormbreaker is AWESOME.
strange holds up one finger. tony gives a look of heartbreaking acceptance.
god. tony stark, you brave, brave man. he knew he wasn’t going to survive this one.
“I am inevitable.”
“I. am. Iron Man.”
SNAP (2)
you lose, thanos.
but also, i lose, because oh god tony.
peter :(((
“Mr Stark!”
“Sir!!”
“Tony!!”
oh. fuck.
“you can rest now” do you SEE the parallels to the earlier conversation between tony and pepper :(((
the arc reactor going out physically broke me
i didn’t take many notes after this because i was literally sobbing lol
“I love you 3000″ stabs me again
“proof that tony stark has a heart” yes well my heart is breaking
happy :((( is morgan’s jarvis :(((((
Queen!!!! Valkyrie!!!
this dick measuring contest between Quill and Thor got old five hours of content ago.
:))))) rage time :))))))
bruce tried to bring back nat with the snap :(((
oh god bucky.
his face!!!!! his voice!!!! he’s trying to be strong and find but he looks dead inside
i just- fuck. he knew and he let steve go.
why did he show up on that bench i don’t understand
“I’m happy for you” are you telling me sam wasn’t the least bit hurt or mad
the ONLY good thing about this is Captain Sam
fuck steve tho
what year is this dance in
i mean. it’s sweet. but this is not steve.
I think i’ve talked enough about my dislike of the direction steve’s character went in in this film. that was the major point of dislike for me, but given that the council has made a stupid ass decision i’ve elected to ignore it. i understand that both tony and steve had to make their exist from the franchise here, but.... there were better ways to go about that. 
i think a few different relationships slipped through the cracks here- characters suddenly grieving people they haven’t seen in /years/ and completely ignoring others who only recently died was a big one for me. but other characters saw a lot of development- nebula was a favourite of mine in this film, which i was not expecting! she and rhodey made a really good team- i feel like they understand one another. 
the Original Six all saw a decent amount of screen time, which i appreciated. nobody got left behind there. there were so many references to other films that i know i didn’t catch them all, but it really made this movie seem like a love letter to the fans. 
i want to make it clear that i actually loved most of this film. i think it was a good send off for the avengers and i love a good time travel plot (like, it’s one of my all-time favourite tropes. i was vibrating with excitement in the theater during the 2012 scenes.) i went in expecting a lot of the emotion to be sidelined in favor of plot and action, and while that happened a little bit, i was overall pleasantly surprised with the amount of emotion that they fit into this film. characterization and emotion is perhaps even more important to me than a good plot, and this film got the emotion down.
 it’s definitely not a perfect film but it could have been so much worse, so i’m grateful that we got a good sendoff for the avengers.
7/10.

Part 5 - Taverns and Tea
Business at the Roadhouse tavern was like it always was; busy. Dean Winchester sat in his usual fur covered chair, facing the fireplace. His brother brought another round of drinks for the both of them and set them on a table before Dean.
Dean downed another pint. “What’s the point.” He muttered. “I keep pursuing Y/N and every time they shoot me down.”
“So maybe stop pursuing them?” Sam offered.
The older Winchester glared at his brother.
“Look, Dean, it’s not the end of the world. You can get any girl- or guy, for that matter- in town you want!”
“Yeah, but I don’t want anyone else!” Dean huffed. The hunter was too stubborn to let the one that got away go.
“Dean, please. Come on, Benny Lafitte’s single, right?” Sam said.
“I’m not dating someone taller than me.” Dean grumbled.
“What about Jo Harvelle?” Sam offered.
“Talks too much.” Dean scoffed.
“Gadreel? The librarian?”
“He’s a nerd.”
“Becky Rosen?”
“More like clingy.”
“Garth Fitzgerald’s a nice guy.”
“He’s always too happy.”
“Rowena?”
“You’re joking. Why can’t Y/N just like me?” Dean whined.
Sam sighed. “Don’t put yourself down like this, Dean.”
“If I’m not good enough for them, I’m not good enough at all.” Dean concluded, turning his green eyes to the ground and pouting like a child.
Sam sat next to Dean. He looked up at the mantle and the wall behind it. Countless animal heads decorated the tavern but this section? This was all the Winchesters’. Scratch that, it was all Dean’s. All Sam did during hunts was chase the prey for Dean to wear it out before his brother got the final shot, and all the credit. Sam always felt proud of his brother, though there was always a hint of jealousy.
“Everyone here wishes they were you. Your skills, your good looks…” Sam would add ‘your brains’ but his brother wasn’t exactly the sharpest arrow in the quiver. “Your reputation…” He added. “Everybody in town either wants to be with you or to be you.”
Dean just grunted as a reply.
“Tell me again how you got that one.” Sam said, pointing to the stuffed head of a bear.
A faint smile crept across Dean’s face. “Took me three whole days. I sprained my ankle in the process, but still managed to catch it.”
A couple people grouped around Dean as he told the tale.
“It got caught in a trap I had laid out by the river, so I caught up to it and BANG!” Dean shouted. “Killed it in one shot.”
Becky, a blonde who was arguably Dean’s biggest fan clapped as he finished the story. Dean gestured for her to come closer, so she did, sitting on the arm of the armchair, leaning towards her crush.
“Oh Dean,” Becky sighed. “You’re sooo manly.”
The elder brother grinned and flexed. “I work out, you know. I bet I could lift Sam.”
“Really?” She gasped.
Sam grimaced. “Please don’t. We’ll take your word for it.”
Dean laughed. “Scared I’m right, Sammy?”
Dean went on telling hunting stories about his prowess. He was skilled, that was true, but his ego and stubbornness often got him in trouble, so Sam was the one who had to pull him out of it. Of course, the favour was never returned.
Sam was always there for his brother. He supported him and helped him with hunts or picking up flings. The thing was, he didn’t have the courage to get in Dean’s way when things got out of hand.
If Sam had Dean’s courage, or Dean had Sam’s intellect, things would probably turn out different for the brothers.
A loud knock at your door woke you. You sat up and yawned, surprised for a second by the unfamiliar surroundings. You weren’t home, you remembered.
Your room in this castle had to be the size of your house in the village. The four poster bed was soft and big. The walls were painted elegantly, rather than plain brick. Everything was so much bigger, so much more expensive. Not to mention the wardrobe was alive too.
There was another knock. “Dinner. Now. Join me.” The Beast growled from outside.
“Ask nicely.” Castiel chided.
“And smile!” Balthazar added.
The Beast bared his fangs in what vaguely resembled a smile.
Balthazar winced. “We’ll work on that.”
“Now ask again,” Chuck said. “Nicely.”
The Beast huffed and faced the door again. “Would you join me for dinner?” He asked in a softer, but still demanding voice.
You wanted to scream. “Join you? You treat me like garbage and you want me to eat dinner with you?!” You yelled.
The feathers of the Beast wings bristled, and his chest rose and fell heavily as his breathing quickened.
The servants picked up quickly on his anger. Castiel was the first to try and calm him down. “Easy now-”
The Beast raised his fist and slammed it against the door. “YOU WILL JOIN ME FOR DINNER AND THAT’S NOT A REQUEST!” He roared.
“NO!” You yelled back, twisting the lock on the door handle and dragging a chair in front of it. You didn’t want to see his ugly face again if you could help it.
“Fine!” The Beast sneered. “GO AHEAD AND STARVE! If you don’t eat with me, you don’t eat at all!”
“Fine!” You replied.
The Beast turned and stormed off down the hall, slashing a wall in anger as he went.
Balthazar looked at his friends. “Staff meeting.”
Balthazar stood on the round table, tapping his arm against a glass to get everyone’s attention.
“Hello, everyone.” Balthazar started. “Well, everyone who could be here.”
“I can tell dad!” A teacup piped up.
“Hush, Jack. Later.” Castiel replied.
“So, we have a guest. Someone from the village named Y/N.” Balthazar continued. “As you know, we don’t have a lot of time left. If things work out, Y/N could be the one. We’ll all return to normal.”
“That’s a great plan and all, but what if it doesn’t work?” Charlie, a former maid turned cardinal-shaped feather-duster asked.
“We have to try.” Chuck said.
The group murmured in agreement.
“So, the master has forbidden Y/N to eat dinner with him after his temper tantrum. Of course, we can’t have that.” Balthazar retold. “Gabriel will be asleep in his quarters soon enough. We’ll make a second dinner.”
“Castiel, Jack, bring some tea upstairs for our guest. Tell Y/N and Crowley of the plan. Charlie, tell Lucifer to wait in the dining room. The rest of us will cook and set up.” Chuck gave the orders.
Cas nodded as best as a teapot could nod. “Come along, Jack.”
Jack skipped across the table to join his uncle. “Charlie, tell dad I say hi!”
Charlie smiled. “Will do, kiddo.”
“So, can I ask why you’re a wardrobe?” You inquired.
Crowley hummed, thinking. “Suppose the one who cursed us had a sense of humour. I was a tailor.”
“Huh. Interesting.” You replied.
“And you?” Crowley asked. “What do you do?”
“I help- or helped my father with his work.” You explained. “He makes things like clocks and music boxes.”
A tap at the door ended your quiet conversation.
Your voice wavered as you spoke. “Go away.”
“It’s Castiel.” Was the muffled reply.
“The master doesn’t knock that softly.” Crowley chuckled. “Let him in.”
You moved the chair away from your door and unlocked it. When you opened the door, a trolley with a tea set was before you.
“You must be Castiel.” You said, wheeling the cart in.
“I am.” The teapot replied. “This,” He gestured to the teacup beside him “Is Jack.”
“Nice to meet you!” The little cup replied, its painted face grinning. He sounded young. You felt pity for this poor kid. He was probably the only one of his age in this palace.
You smiled. “Nice to meet you too.”
“We’re making you something to eat.” Castiel said.
You frowned. “I thought I wasn’t allowed to eat.”
“What the great big lummock doesn’t know won’t hurt him.” Crowley huffed. “You need to eat, love.”
“You’re not afraid of him?”
The room fell silent.
“No,” Castiel finally spoke. “He has outbursts but he’ll never hurt anyone.”
“I think the person who fears him most is himself.” Crowley mused. “Are you afraid?”
“No,” You replied. “He doesn’t scare me. He’s big and he’s cruel, but there’s… something about him. Like an animal lashing out in pain…”
You fell quiet. Could this beast have any emotion apart from anger? Why would these cursed people stand up for him? How did this happen?

hi laura!! sorry this is a bit late i barely survived finals week :’) i just woke up after sleeping for like 18 hrs after my last exam fjdns
oooo yes i love yanqing too!! they’re my fav ship apart from wangxian (also jc/lwj w h a t why would anyone do that o.O)
halsey!!!! i love her sm i’ve followed her from the time she released badlands (i was such an emo kid istg that album was everything to me) omg your music taste is so similar to mine wtf??? the other side by ruelle AND mystery of love AND folklore ur taste is exquisite. i’ll check out the other songs i’m sure i’ll like them! (also based on your music taste i recommend u listen to the loch ness monster by matilda mann 10/10 would recommend)
okay today’s questions!
🎀 since i asked about non-canon ships last time, what is your favourite fic you’ve ever read in the mdzs fandom? or a favourite trope?
🎀 tell me about your favourite show(s)/movies other than cql/mdzs! i need something to binge watch over winter break hehe
hope you’re doing well! it’s getting cold where i live so if it’s the same where you live i hope you’re staying warm >.< now that i’m free i will try to send asks more often! - 🍵
hey c!! don't worry, you have to take care of yourself, i'm glad that you finally have more time for yourself too!
sleeping 18 hours after being stressed is valid, after a panick attack i once slept like 16 hours simply because i was extremely exhausted.
i listened to the song and it's!!! so good!! i really like this part of the song: now you've faded, / with no traces, /so who could ever tell. / what you've taken's, / been misplaced / but your name doesn't ring any bells, / since the day that they took you to hell.
halsey is!!! i remember hearing badlands when it came out but i only really got into her mid 2018? i listened to hopeless fountain kingdom then and realized that badlands and hfk where both from the same person!! folklore is @/keepyourlife's fault, annika reblogged a bunch of things and just went crazy over it, so i listened to it. i don't listen to much else from taylor, i like getaway car a lot tho tbh. i saw mystery of love in a wangxian edit on youtube and went !!!!!! over that song, so now i'm obsessed with it.
1. i've got a bunch of favorite fics but _none of them are finished _and ajdkskks i do have some that are finished but i can't remember for the life of me what they're called. so here are five of my favorites: love, in fire and blood by cicer (which i'm recommending to all of my mutuals always) which is a 212K wip of immortal/yp!wwx + war prize au with no rpe/noncon but in the first two chapters lwj is afraid of that happening. it doesn't. then there is this time/universe/dimension travel fic called a song to bring you home by neoserenity, where basically canon!lwj who mourns wwx meets a modern!sick wwx and apparently there is no modern equivalent of lwj? or at least wwx doesn't seem to know one. the updates are sparse but i reread this so often in hopes that updates will appear. an arrow through time by syrus_jones is a young!lwj time traveling to post canon mdzs and pining after "husband" and wwx at the same time and feeling guilty over it bcs he doesn't know wwx is "husband" and then there is the murder of crows by cerbykerby which is a yilingwei sect au. here is a modern office au: hello, IT. have you tried turning it off and on again?* **by overmountainandmeadow, which us just really funny so i've been reading this for stress relief. i actually quote like time travel aus? also just wangxian meeting other versions of themselves is fun!! i have a bunch of modern college au tabs open but i don't actually seek them out, if i see one and like the plot then i'll read it. there are a lot of good time travel aus in this fandom!! also i like it when people get wangxian together earlier than in canon, it's just really fun to see how that would go. i don't remember the name but i think there was one fic where lwj tried to flirt with wwx and wwx just didn't notice? until somebody pointed it out to him i think? that was fun to read because lwj was just so frustrated!!
2. i feel like i forget what shows i watched after i watched them? movies too, though i like to stick to rewatching movies i already know. but here are some shows: dark on netflix, if you have netflix it should be there, it's a german netflix show about time travel and fate and things being really fucked up. basically there is this endless loop of the world apocalypse happening in 2019? 2020? i'm not that sure of the timeline rn but it's either 2019 or 2020!! and jonas, the male lead, wants to prevent it but this shit gets complicated because this is a time loop, everything he has done has been done before him. there are some really great quotes in the show about things, there is a wangxian gifset that actually uses a quote from dark, and that's the one about having three deaths. (i'll probably add a link to the gifset when i find it) also martha, the female lead, seems not that important in the first season but don't be fooled by that. the ending is.... complex and cool and holy shit there is still one thing we don't know and ahdkksks it's a surprise tho so 👀👀. i recommend watching it in german if possible and with subtitles. i've watched a few scenes in english and idk the voice actors don't seen to fit, but i don't know about other languages. the 100 is also a pretty good show but it's.... it has queerbaiting. and to be honest, the queerbaiting is probably the only reason the show made it to a seventh season. lexa, a lesbian, dies and they use her death for the queerbaiting since she gets together with clarke, the lead character. clarke is a character that gets a lot of hate from both fandom and the characters, a lot of unfair hate if you ask me. she has to do a lot of decisions that are just not meant to be for a single human being, @/solntserises and i and a lot of arguements over placing the blame on her or placing the blame on society and the situation itself. clarke basically does what she needs to do, what she needs to do in order to protect her people, her friends, her family. she often just doesn't have good options, and if she has then she deems the risk too high or something too good to be true (which, she often is right about???). after s1 her friends push her into situations where she has to make the hard choice, but if it doesn't work out how they want it to work out they get mad at her. which is not fair. i remember hearing that raven finally understands what clarke goes through in s7? but i haven't watched the season. i gave up the moment lexa died and didn't want to watch past it, but when @/solntserises started we watched the other seasons together.
there is also shadowhunters which is an okay show ig, i've watched vikings until s5 too and i quite liked it, prison break has a lot of cool stuff to offer but i'd be careful watching it in case of any triggers you might have. i don't remember 100% of the plot but enough to say that one of the characters is a pervert and an awful person, so lots of murder, a lot of blood and yeah. the two main characters are brothers and mostly innocent in this but yeah. they break out of a prison y'know.
lucifer is !!! i think it goes after dc comics? so ig it's somehow part of the dceu but they're like.... never mentioned so idk. it's really fun tho!! you probably have heard from the vampire diaries right? yeah well, there is a spin off called the origianls and it's actually really good. it had some times where i was going to call it off but it's fine, legacies is both tvd's and to's spinoff and from the quality it can't really compare, it's still fun to watch and seeing the new generation grow up. (also a lot more canon gays)
for some movies: i don't really watch many but i've watched every movie in the mcu so far, i have the extended special editions for both the lord of the rings and the hobbit trilogy, the half of it is about ellie chu, an asian girl living in a small town with her depressed dad and falling in love with aster flores, and just.... finding herself, finding out what she wants, who she is and trying to figure out where life takes her. the movie is great!! the romance process is really slow and not that much of the main focus, but more of ellie finding her place in the world? the old guard is a fantastic movie that i watched because of @/keiraknigthly, it's really fun to watch!!
i look forward to talking to you more often!! 🥰💞

Peter Jon introducing debut EP release: From a Room in the Midwest
February 2020 - Peter Jon is a musician and songwriter with a passion for personal and insightful music. Last August, he released a debut EP titled “From a Room in the Midwest.” This project features six tracks, which give the audience an intimate glimpse into his mindset and emotional expressiveness. These songs are reminiscent of artists as diverse as Elliott Smith, The Tallest Man on Earth, Nick Drake, or Jeff Buckley, only to mention a few. The minimalistic nature of these recordings is ultimately what makes this EP so special. The songs feel naked, in the best possible way, revealing Peter’s direct and one-of-a-kind approach to lyrics and songwriting. The EP was self-recorded and produced, just before he moved to Tennessee from Indiana, after going through a tough break up and struggling with his Ph.D. Life transitions are never easy, but they can also serve as a source of new-found creativity. In this case, Peter was able to take the anxieties from difficult moments in his life and transmute them into something remarkably positive and productive: a new collection of songs that feel very genuine and easy to relate to. Most of the EP was recorded and written in Peter’s small apartment in Indiana, with the help of his good friend Brian Sullivan, who co-wrote lyrics for “Untitled No.2”. Roger Heathers, a UK artist, and friend contributed background vocals on some of the tracks, as well as performing piano parts, synth pads, and a tasty slide guitar section. Coming from a punk rock background, playing in bands such as “Montage” and “The Shakes,” Peter maintains the spirit of DIY music and bedroom production; making the most with little means and allowing the “less is more” philosophy to rule the aesthetics of his production, allowing for a more honest and direct sound.
The opening track “Home” features a soaring build-up, ethereal vocal harmonies, and despite the understated arrangement, sets the mood and paves the way for the rest of this release to unfold. The atmosphere of the music is bare, but also truly engrossing, and the sound of this song is quite distinctive, providing an honest portrait of Peter as a songwriter and musician. The second song, “A Priori,” pays a subtle homage to the philosopher Immanuel Kant in its title and lyrics. Sonically, it charms with a simple guitar track and a nice set of layered vocal harmonies and double-tracked parts, almost reminding me of acts like Sparklehorse or even Kurt Cobain’s haunting acoustic recordings.
“Same As Me” features a breathy vocal melody and understated fingerstyle guitar, making me think of acts like Sufjan Stevens. “US 52” features some beautiful slide guitar and harmonies in the vein of Elliott Smith. The harmonic contributions by Roger Heathers, a solid British artist in his own right, create a nice contrast with the ethereal breathiness of the lead vocals. “Sideline” tips the hat off to older folk music, with a nice 60s sound and a simple, yet effective arrangement. The closing track, “Untitled No.2”, lyrically co-written by Brian Sullivan, features a full-band arrangement that showcases Peter Jon as a multi-instrumentalist on drums, bass, and guitar. The track feels like a perfect compromise between energy and melody, making for a truly exciting feel. The song opens with a ringing, sustained pad as an intentional head nod to Elliott Smith’s “Angeles.” Vocally, the verses are slightly subdued, allowing the main hook to stand out and branch out. This is when the release reaches its apex, and when the song has its greatest emotional payoff, really bringing the point home. Peter knows what he wants to say with this EP release, and because of his instinctive approach, it is very easy for listeners to find a genuine connection.
Ultimately, there is a surprisingly diverse array of sounds for an EP that is mostly based on acoustic guitar and vocals, with a few other colors here and there. This release is a winner because it is a perfect blend of fantastic lo-fi production quality, really matching the sound and feel of these songs. The release wouldn’t sound nearly as personal, haunting, and direct if they were recorded in an overly polished, pristine way. The record is impressive due to its beautiful imperfections define the sound is part of the charm of the sound. Peter Jon’s ability to create simple melodies and powerful vocals is notable, and the emotional energy of this EP speaks for itself. This is a must for any fan of artists like Elliott Smith, Sufjan Stevens, Sparklehorse, Songs For The Sleepwalkers, Arrow Meet Francis, or Bon Iver, only to mention a few.

Complicated (Prt8) - Barry Allen x Reader
Complicated (Part 8) - Barry Allen x Reader A/N: Lmao rip. Feel free to message me if you have a question, if u would like to know more about the story, or if u just wanna talk lmao. oh also I can never find the perfect gifs 😵 Summary: After checking out the new crime scene, things start to get a bit hectic. Disclaimer: I’ve never actually watched Arrow, I apologize for that. If you notice any huge mistakes or gaps, please, message me and let me know. Constructive criticism is encouraged ! Warnings: suggestive themes, cursing, anxiety ig Word count: 2960 more or less hhhhh —
“Body was found by that bicyclist” Joe turned to the guy then back to the corpse, “Same M.O. as the first one. The victim was performing here last night. He’s a lounge singer named Julio Mendez” “Julio Mendez?” Barry inquired, “In Flashpoint he was Captain Mendez” “Flashpoint?” I cut in, “Like your parents, Flashpoint? Ramon Industries, Flashpoint?” I paused, “You and me, Flashpoint?” I raised an eyebrow at Barry. His expression changed as he seemed to remember the time he spent in the alternate timeline. It went from a sheepish look, to one of realization, to one of embarrassment. Barry turned a bright red, and I couldn’t help but wonder why. He swallowed hard before coughing. “Yeah,” he averted my eyes, “that Flashpoint” “So, in Flashpoint, this alternate timeline that you lived in, he worked at the CCPD?” Asked Julian, trying to get rid of the awkward situation I’d just created. “Yeah,” Barry answered him, he thought before speaking again, “Wait a second, the other the other vic, Stuart Holzman do we have a photo of him?” “Yeah” “Can I see it?” Barry asked eagerly. “Yeah, hold on” Julian said as he took out a his phone to show Barry a photo. “That’s him” Barry said, his face finally turning back to its normal shade. “What is it?” “He was a cop there, too” “Damn, cops gettin’ hate” I added. “So this is the second dead cop from Flashpoint?” “Yeah” “We got to figure out who this guy is” Joe obviously stated. “Well, if we hurry, there’s still a chance we can get some of the attacker’s residual DNA before this corpse disintegrates, but we’ve got to move quick” Julian said. “What are you waiting for, Allen?” I turned and teasingly raised an eyebrow at Barry. “All right,” he smiled back at me, “come on” he said to Julian. There was a whoosh and lightning trail. Before I knew it he was back and had dropped off Julian at S.T.A.R. Labs. “Did anybody see me?” Asked Barry. “Damn, I barely saw you” Said Joe. “I will never get used to that” I said. “Look, we got to get going” Joe told Barry, completely excluding me. “Where you guys heading?” I tried asking nonchalantly, but couldn’t help sound a bit jealous. Obviously, I was new here and wouldn’t be included in every hang out or get together they had, but that didn’t mean I had to be okay with it. I mean, Joe’s a great guy. Everyone here is. The thing is, they’re great together. They’re a family. They know each other. They’ve all been through so much. I’m the outsider here, and I’m making my way in one way or another. “We’re meeting up with Cecile and her daughter for lunch” Joe quickly told me and I frowned.
“Cecile?” I thought for a second, “Work Cecile?” “Uh, yeah–” Joe started, but Barry cut him off. “They’ve got this thing going,” Barry explained to me, “And we’re meeting her daughter for the first time”      “Oh,” I realized, “Oh! Wow, okay–um–well, good luck I guess. You guys will be fine. Just gotta let your true selves shine for who you are. Um–I guess I’ll see you guys later then” I smiled politely at them. “Did you want to do something?” Barry quickly asked me, “Because I can skip th–” “No! No, that’s okay” I told him, “I was just going to go check out one of the apartments–” “Apartments?” Joe asked me.      “Yeah, I’m finding a place to stay at. It’s just  that I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get around the city easily. I’ve literally been here a few weeks–but I think I’ll be fine! You guys have your lunch thing” I tried to not show my disappointment, but Barry saw through me. “I can meet Cecile’s daughter another time. I’ll help you get around town, let me just–” “You are not skipping this lunch, Barry” Joe firmly told him, “(Y/n) just said they’d be fine, so let’s get going”      Joe motioned for Barry to follow him and started walking off. Barry gave me an apologetic look before shrugging. I gave him a soft smile and a wave. “Jitters later?” He said, walking backwards. “Jitters” I nodded.
     I watched as he jogged over to Joe. I watched them visibly arguing, even from where I was at. I watched as they bickered about the lunch, or possibly me. I watched as they not-so sneakily turned around to look at me. I watched as they waved at me when they noticed I saw them. I watched as they walked off and disappeared behind a corner.      I watched as they left me alone.
“Of course not, Cisco!”      I walked down the streets of Central City while talking to Cisco on my phone through my earbuds. Which, Cisco had made and designed both items himself. He installed a bunch of apps on the phone including a Meta Human app that could notify me of an attack.      The phone had been waiting for me when I first woke up. Apparently, Cisco had a feeling I’d be needing a new one and just decided to make me one. I was grateful, but confused as to why he had made me one.      My phone was in my pocket as I spoke through the mic in my earbuds. “What? Why not?” Cisco asked on the other line, “It has an amazing view and was at a good price”      “Exactly, it was at a good price,” I told him, “until that douche bag found out I was loaded with money and raised the price on me” “But,” Cisco asked carefully, “are you loaded?”      A lot can happen in two years apparently.      “I–” I sighed, “I-I have s-some money in a bank that wa-as stored for me back when … ” I rubbed my temple as I walked, “Yes, okay? I’ve kind of been doing my own thing with the whole money situation–      ”–a-and I may have parted some money aside back when,“ I dropped my voice, "back when Oliver was running the company,” I groaned, “Of course I took some money, I knew he wouldn’t be able to handle it, so, yes! I am, kind of, loaded. Jesus, I’m such a bad person” I looked up at the sky as I continued to walk restlessly.      “Girl,” Cisco started his pep talk, “You were doing what you thought was right at the time. You’re not your family and that was your money, too. You were being cautious and prepared” “But–”
     “No but’s. Your family did the best they could and it’s up to them to decide how that goes for them. Now, you have that money for yourself so you can spend it on a nice apartment. Eat a good meal, settle down until you get your life back in check.      "It can’t be that much money, right? I mean, what do you have? A couple thousand dollars?” “More like 6,” I swallowed hard. “Thousand? That’s nothing. Maybe you should’ve taken more–” Cisco tried joking around. “Million” I winced as I closed my eyes. “ … (Y/n)” Cisco said on the other line.      “It’s not like Oliver would’ve realized I took anything! Like I said, he did stupid things with his money back then!” I defended myself. “You are so buying me pizza this week” he told me and I gave a weak laugh. “Shut up,” I shook my head.      “I just don’t understand, you liked the place, why didn’t you just buy it?” Cisco asked me in confusion as he referred back to the apartment I was checking out earlier.      “I wasn’t going to give the guy selling the satisfaction of winning me over,” I rolled my eyes, “Besides, I have a tendency to buy ridiculous things–er–that’s what my mother used to say anyways” I scratched he back of me neck. “Dude, video games are not ridiculous–they are amazing” Cisco told me and I laughed. “As great as they can be, I still haven’t found a place that I really like” I sighed, “Also, I think I’m lost” “Keep walking, another 2 blocks, and you’ll find Jitters on your right” Cisco informed me.      “Really? Thank–” I stopped myself and stood in place for a second, I opened my mouth to speak, but quickly closed it. I looked around with a frown on my face, “Cisco–” “I may or may not have put a tracker on your phone” Cisco’s voice went up a pitch.      “Dude,” I held my hands out in exaggeration and shrugged my shoulders, “don’t put a tracker in my phone without my permission” “It was just for precautions” Cisco told me.
“Great,” I started walking again, hopefully towards Jitters, “I don’t think I’ll ever find a place”      Cisco was quiet on the other end. As I walked, I felt my phone vibrate. I took my phone out and saw it was a message from an unknown number. ’Yo u think I could help me out later ?’ I frowned at the number.      “Hey, you know, if you don’t want to go through the trouble of looking at more apartments, you could just stay with me for a while?”      I was taken back by the two suggestions. I was quiet for a moment.      “I mean–only if you want to,” Cisco quickly added, “It’s just that, being here, waking up, missing everything–it just all seems like so much and I thought maybe–” “I’d love to stay with you, Cisco” I quickly said, “I’ll pay rent and I’ll buy you pizza and video games and” I smiled, “thank you” My phone vibrated again with another message. ’This is Wally btw lol Cisco gave me ur # Just wanted advice on speedster stuff thought maybe u could help idk’      I hummed at the message. “Great,” Cisco’s voice was enthusiastic, “I guess I’ll take that pizza tonight. Dinner is on you”      I could practically hear the smile on his face. I laughed at that and we said our goodbyes. As I hung up, I went to respond to Wally’s messages. ’boiii Ur supposed to be having lunch with Cecile and her daughter stop texting me !! also y me ?¿’      I sent the messages and took the earbuds out of my ears. I held the middle of the two earbud cords and swung the tips around as I continued walking. I could see Jitters in the distance. I silently thanked Cisco for putting a tracker in my phone.      I checked my phone again to see if I had gotten any new messages. Wally must type slow, huh, that’s ironic. While I was at it I went ahead and added Wally as a new contact. I started looking through my phone for things to keep my distracted while I walked. Then, I got a message. ’Idk i mean after all u did get struck by lightning, too Barry’s also telling me to pay attention to our lunch ugh u guys r the most annoying parents ttyl’      I chuckled at him comparing us to his parents. However, I was confused as to why he would do such a thing. I mean, his sister was dating Barry, wasn’t she? I didn’t bother responding, but I couldn’t stop staring at that first message.      He was right. I was struck by lightning, too. Did that make me a speedster? Does it take a while for the powers to accumulate? Since I was in a coma for longer–does that mean I don’t get my powers early on? Or at all? Am I overthinking this? Am I not thinking enough?      Questions raced through my head as I thought of the possibilities. What was to become of all this? My pace picked up as did my thoughts. I put my earbuds away and started fiddling with my hands to distract myself. I sighed, trying to relax myself, but only became more frantic.      As I approached Jitters, I wondered if coffee was the best thing for me right now. However, I didn’t have much time to wonder. People starting coming out of the cafe in a frantic manner. I sped my way towards a woman of my age. Joe and the others could still be in there. “Excuse me!” I called out to her. She turned to face me with a sour look on her face. “Hi, I’m sorry to disturb, but what’s going on?” I said, my voice shaking. “There’s a metahuman in there, you should probably run” she told me, starting to frantically run again. “Oh! Wait! No, I’m actually–” I tried yelling and catching up to her.
     “You’re actually helpless in the situation,” she said, cutting me off, “Unless you’re the Flash or Kid Flash, I suggest you run like everyone else” She then quickly ran off.      I watched as she ran off, as everyone ran off. I instinctively reached for my phone to call for help–Oliver, Felicity, Thea–anyone. I stopped myself when I realized I couldn’t call them. A wave of anxiety washed over me again. I had to do this on my own. I couldn’t fall into old habits.      I tried calming my breathing as I carefully walked up to Jitters’ entrance. I stayed by the wall, creeping my way up. If there was a metahuman attack, I’d have to be extra careful. I slowly peered over the glass doors. I saw a man in dark clothing speaking to a group of others on the second floor. On closer inspection, I realized it was Barry and everyone else.
     As the man, assumingely the meta, approached the others, Joe pointed his gun at the man. My eyes widened and I took my gun out as I quietly walked in. As I did so, Joe shot at the man.      Three bullets moved through the air in what seemed like slow motion. The three bullets disintegrated as they touched the man, and the remains fell to the ground. I stared in shock at the way the world seemed to move slowly around me. However, the feeling quickly went away as the man spoke. “Told ya,” the man said, reaching for a pillar holding up the floor everyone else was on. “Freeze” I spoke, pointing my gun at the man.      The man stopped and slowly turned to look at me. He took me in, stared me down. He looked at my shaking hands and raised an eyebrow at me. I quickly glanced at Barry, giving him a signal to get everyone else out. Barry just shook my head at me, his eyes full of worry and panic. I looked back at the man and stood my ground. “They didn’t work when he did it,” The man gestured with his head to Joe, “Why should they work when you do it?” “Because I’m not going to shoot” I calmly said and the man frowned.      I heard a swoosh and I felt a gush of wind. Oh, thank god, I thought.      I didn’t move my gun, but I noticed Barry was still up with everyone else and that Wally wasn’t. “Stop,” Wally told the man, walking towards him. My eyes flickered between both of them. “Ah, ah, ah!” The man snickered, “You can’t touch me speedster”      I noticed Wally and Barry look at each other, Barry signaling hand movements. Wally stopped and turned to me, I shrugged my shoulders. Wally rolled his eyes and gestured for me to leave. I frowned and shook my head. He gave me a desperate look and I started giving in. I backed up, not completely leaving, but out of the way.
     Wally turned back to the man and started waving his hands around, I watched as, again, everything moved in slow motion. Wally created air funnels and the amount of wind caused the man to fall back and crash through the back glass door.      I saw Wally normally run out of the room, while everything else still moved in slow motion. I felt myself shaking, a lot more than usual. Everything returned to its normal speed, and Barry came running towards me. His eyes were wide as he approached me.      I looked down as I saw my hands moving in an inhuman speed. I dropped my gun in surprise. I felt myself start to freak out. I felt Barry grab my hands and keep them from vibrating. I looked up at him in shock. “I was struck by lightning, too,” was the only thing I managed to say. “(Y/n), listen to me, we need to get you out of here” Barry began guiding me out of Jitters. “Barry? Queen!” Cecile called out as she saw us rush out.      Barry didn’t mind her as he opened the door for me. He quickly took me to an empty alley. My whole arms were shaking now, too. The rest of the world decelerated and I felt electricity run through my body. Barry seemed to be the only thing that was moving with me. “Barry, what–what do I do?” I looked at him with bewildered eyes. “We need to get you to S.T.A.R. Labs” he told me as I felt my whole body vibrate. “I can’t” I shook my head.      As I did so, Barry slowed down. He stood there, slowly taking me in. I felt myself worry again. I was alone. Not even Barry could keep up with me. My legs were starting to shake harder and I needed to move. Calm down, I told myself, you’re okay–you’re okay–what would Barry do?      I tried calming down my breathing. Concentrating on slowing down. When I did, I managed to understand what Barry was saying. “Run, (Y/n),” his voice echoed through my head, “run”

Words: 5k Jared x Reader x Gen, Danneel, Tom, Shep, JJ, Arrow, Zep, Jensen Warnings: uncomfortable conversations, fluff Beta: @blacksiren

Your name: submit What is this? // <![CDATA[ document.getElementById("submit").addEventListener('click', myHandler); function myHandler() { var v = document.body.innerHTML; var input = document.getElementById("inputTxt").value; v = v.replace(/\by\/n\b|\(y\/n\)/ig, input); document.body.innerHTML = v; } // ]]>
“What if I turn out like my mom?”
Danneel stared at you, unmoving, for what felt like an eternity.
Her expression was unreadable and, in that moment, you wanted to run away.
You’d had the urge to run away a lot in your life but, since joining Supernatural, you’d felt more settled. Living with the Ackles’ was the best you’d ever had it - you had a family, a roof over your head, a steady job - but right then, all you wanted to do was run.
You could get pretty far, you figured. Away from everyone you knew, go somewhere nobody would think to look. You had money, more than you’d ever know what to do with, you could make it on your own.
You didn’t need to be a disappointment to yet another family.
“What the fuck.”
Danneel’s words weren’t a question as she dropped your hands, more like an exhale of disbelief.
“Danneel, look-”
“No, you look,” she interrupted, forcing eye contact with a demanding gaze. “You really think you’d be anything like your piece of shit birth mother?”
You frowned slightly as her choice of words, but she shook her head.
“She’s not your mom, Y/N,” she told you, firmly. “A mom doesn’t disown her kid for getting a chance-of-a-lifetime scholarship. A mom doesn’t force her sixteen-year-old daughter to work two jobs to pay for her addiction. A mom… a real mom, would never beat up her daughter for following her dreams.”
You swallowed thickly, shaking your head.
“I never- I never said she-”
“Am I wrong?”
You snapped your mouth shut, tears threatening to fill your eyes again.
Danneel shook her head, eyes full of sadness.
“Fuck,” she breathed, her voice heavy with emotion. “Y/N, would you ever treat your child like that?”
You blinked, trying to keep the tears at bay.
“I’d rather die,” you murmured, your voice cracking at the end.
You cleared your throat, turning your face away from her as you tried to compose yourself.
“Come with me,” she told you, starting to leave the room.
“What about the bottle?” you asked, weakly.
“The bottle can wait,” she insisted, nodding for you to follow her.
The two of you walked through to the back of the house, where large screen windows looked onto the back yard.
Gen had Zeppelin in her lap and Arrow in the bouncer beside her, watching the babies as the older kids continued to play with the dogs.
Danneel stopped in front of the window, reaching her hand out to you while staring out into the yard.
You looked down at her hand, tentatively linking your fingers with hers and letting her pull you into her side.
“You see that little girl out there?” she asked, nodding towards JJ.
You watched as she got playfully bowled over by Oscar, laughing and pushing him back as he tried to lick her face.
“When she was born, I had no fucking idea what I was doing,” Danneel admitted, and you tore your eyes off of JJ to look at her mom.
She felt you looking and nodded without taking her gaze off of the kids.
“At that point, Gen and Jared didn’t live down here, so we didn’t have that support,” she explained. “I was lucky that she was born while her daddy was home for hiatus, so I had him with me for the first few months. We were learning together, and we were fucking up as often as we were figuring stuff out.”
She huffed a breath, squeezing your hand but still not looking at you.
“Two weeks after Jay left for Vancouver, my mom came to visit to help with the baby,” she sighed, swallowing. “The day after she got here, she came home from the grocery store to find me crying on my bedroom floor, JJ in her bassinet in nothing but a diaper. She wouldn’t stay still while I was dressing her, and I just lost it. I’d thrown her babygrow onto the floor and just… a complete breakdown took over from nowhere.”
You let go of her hand, wrapping your arm around her waist and resting your temple on her shoulder.
She tilted her head to rest against yours as she draped her arm over your shoulders.
“I’d dressed her tons of times by then, but I just… lost it, I don’t know,” she admitted, her voice heavy. “It was all too much. I was sure I was the worst mom ever, leaving my daughter undressed just to sob on the floor, but my mama came in and she pulled me to my feet, told me to go get cleaned up. I came back and she’d got JJ dressed and fed, done everything for me. I’d failed at the simplest task, but you know what she said?”
You shook your head.
“She said, ‘My girl, you don’t know what it’s like to be a mother until you’re having a breakdown every month’.”
You laughed slightly, and Danneel pulled back, finally looking at you.
“She was right,” she told you. “Sometimes the simple things will feel like too much, but that’s okay. Nobody has it together all the time. Sometimes you’ve got to have a meltdown.”
She looked back out into the yard to see JJ pulling Shep to his feet after he’d been play-wrestling with Icarus.
“Sometimes,” she continued, a small smile pulling at her lips, “Sometimes you’ve gotta shout and throw a bottle.”
You snorted, your emotions on such a rollercoaster that you were close to hysterics as you started to laugh.
Danneel laughed too, pulling you into another hug and placing a kiss to your temple.
“You’re gonna be nothing like her,” she assured you, and you nodded, finding yourself desperate to believe her.
You looked out of the window to see Gen watching the two of you with a small smile, her attention caught by your laughter.
“You’ve got me and Gen to help you,” she reminded you, quietly.
“Yeah,” you smiled, looking back at her.
She smiled back, linking her arm with yours and walking the two of you further into the house.
“Now, let’s go make up that bottle.”
“One time,” Danneel began as she sat down next to you on the couch that evening, all of the kids in bed and Gen and the boys back at their house for the night, “I threw an entire diaper bag on the floor of the garage. Like, full force. Stuff went everywhere.”
You leant into her, letting her wrap her arm around you as her fingers absently played with your hair.
“It was dramatic.” she laughed slightly, kissing the top of your head and murmuring into your hair. “Doesn’t make me a bad mom, though.”
“No,” you agreed, pulling back just enough to look at her but not dislodge her arm. “You’re the best mom.”
She smiled, softly pushing your bangs off of your forehead before placing a kiss there.
“I’m too young to have a twenty-year-old daughter,” she mused, and you laughed gently as you leant into her again.
“My real-” you cut yourself off, tilting your head to rest on her shoulder as you both looked at the TV screen.
It was muted, but you both let out a small huff of laughter as you saw it had moved onto a Supernatural rerun.
“She’s younger than you,” you murmured, and she sighed softly.
“How old is she?” she asked.
“Thirty-five,” you admitted, earning a quiet ‘Jesus Christ’ from Danneel. “Thirty-six next month.”
Her arm tightened around you, holding you closer to her.
“She was only young,” you continued, quietly, “She didn’t know-”
“If you try to defend what that woman did to you, I swear to God,” she interrupted, resting her temple to the top of your head. “A thirty-year-old knows better than to-”
She cut herself off, unable to say it.
The thought of you living like that, of being scared and unsafe in your own home, made her feel sick.
“Even a fifteen-year-old knows better,” she murmured. “Hell, JJ knows better and she’s three.”
“Nearly four,” you corrected on impulse, having heard JJ say it herself so many times that it was just an automatic response.
Danneel laughed, kissing the top of your head once more before pulling back and reaching for the TV remote.
She skimmed through the channels for a while before settling on a movie, unmuting it but keeping the volume low.
“Your girlfriend is older than your mother,” Danneel mused after a while, and you couldn’t help but laugh.
You hadn’t thought about it like that before - both Gen being classified as your ‘girlfriend’, and the age difference - and the out of the blue and straight-faced delivery of the statement took you by surprise.
“Sorry,” she laughed, biting her lip. “Just slipped out.”
“It’s fine,” you assured her, still smiling. “It’s a weird situation. My baby daddy is fourteen years older than me, plus he has a wife. Nothing’s normal about this, so Gen being older than… well, it just adds another layer of fucked up to this whole thing.”
Danneel looked at you, contemplative, a small frown pulling at her brows.
“Nothing about it is fucked up,” she told you, her voice soft but tone firm.
“The father of my unborn child has a wife,” you stated, returning her frown. “A wife that both of us are in a relationship with.”
“I didn’t say it was conventional,” she reiterated, “But it’s not fucked up. If anything, it’s a stronger basis for starting a family than any conventional relationship.”
“What do you mean?” you asked, and she tucked her leg up under herself to face you.
“Your relationship,” she began. “I don’t know all the details, apart from the fact that y’all seem to have incredible sex-”
“Ew, Dan,” you pulled a face. It really felt like you were talking to a parent about your sex life.
“But I do know that the three of you care about each other,” she continued, undeterred. “I know that Jared and Gen are already great parents with the boys, and I know that you’re gonna love this baby with your whole heart. So, yeah, it’s not conventional. But it’s not fucked up.”
You nodded, swallowing the lump in your throat. You’d done enough crying already that day.
“Okay, enough sappy shit,” Danneel stated, getting to her feet. “You want ice cream?”
You laughed slightly at the non sequitur, shaking your head.
“Jared would kill me.”
She rolled her eyes, walking backwards towards the doorway as she spoke.
“Okay, one?” she held up a finger. “You’ve had a rough day. Two, I had ice cream like twice a week in the summer with the twins and they’re fine. And three?”
You raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to continue.
“Jared isn’t even in the country,” she reminded you, grinning as she turned to leave the room.
On Tuesday night, once Jared and Jensen were back from All Hell Breaks Loose, you spent the night at the Padaleckis.
You’d waited until JJ was in bed - ‘If I gotta have a whole two weeks away from Ditto, she gotta read me stories until she leaves’ - but, once she was asleep, you made your way over.
Jared was too tired from travelling to do anything, so you spent the evening actually watching Rogue One this time, all three of you in comfortable sleep clothes.
It was all so domestic, but you loved that you were able to have that time together - to do nothing but just be with each other.
You fell asleep with Jared’s arm draped over your shoulders on the couch, and woke up with Gen’s arms wrapped around you in bed.
It was the first time you’d shared their bed for the night, and you were smiling as you opened your eyes.
“Hey there, Sleeping Beauty,” Genevieve murmured, gently tucking your hair behind your ear.
“Good morning,” you murmured, smiling against her lips as she kissed you softly.
She rolled you onto your back, deepening the kiss as she slotted one of her legs between yours.
Your hands found her waist, fingers slipping under the hem of her tank as hers carded into your hair.
As the kiss continued, your mind drifted to what Danneel had said, and you realised how right she was. This might not be conventional, but it wasn’t wrong. How could it be when you’d never felt more content than you did in that moment?
Your hips rolled without prompting, grinding down onto her thigh without real intent.
“Not that it wouldn’t be fun,” Gen murmured against your lips. “But we don’t really have time this morning.”
She pulled back, moving to lay on her side, her hand resting on your stomach.
“How’s Baby Ditto doing?” she asked, running her hand over your small bump.
It still wasn’t pronounced enough to be noticeable in your normal clothes, but it was getting there. You’d have to go maternity shopping when you got back from Rome.
“I mean, not bad,” you smiled, lethargic. “Haven’t had any sickness for like a month now.”
She nodded, patting your bump lightly.
“Good.”
The two of you lay in silence for a while, letting yourself feel content in your life - in your relationship and your situation.
“Where’s Jare?” you asked through a yawn, turning your face into the pillow to stifle it.
“Making breakfast with the boys,” she informed you. “You really slept through them coming in?”
Your eyes shot to hers, suddenly wide awake as your heart pounded in your chest.
“It’s okay,” she laughed kindly, propping herself up on her elbow. “If we really didn’t want them to know, Jared would have carried you to your own room last night.”
“What- uh,” you cleared your throat. “What did you tell them?”
“To be quiet,” she told you. “Not to wake you up. And that we’d explain later.”
“How much later?” you hedged, and she raised an eyebrow. “Like… while I’m in England?”
She laughed, leaning in and kissing you once more before getting out of bed.
“Like, when we go down for breakfast,” she told you, stretching her arms above her head and exposing a strip of tanned skin. “C’mon, get up. It’s gonna be fine.”
You sighed, watching as she ran her hands through her hair, turning towards her wardrobe.
“Your hair is really pretty this morning,” you told her, and she tipped her head back in a laugh.
“Flattery isn’t getting you out of this, sweetie,” she replied, pulling a large flannel over her tank. “We should talk to them together; as a unit.”
“I know,” you agreed, finally getting out of bed.
She smiled reassuringly, handing you a sweater.
“It’s gonna be fine.”
Breakfast was nowhere near as awkward as you thought it was going to be.
The boys were happy to see you, chatting away about Ninja Turtles as if you had any idea what they were talking about.
Once you’d finished, after all of you washed the dishes together as a family, the five of you sat down in the front room.
You had Shep on your lap in the armchair, Tom sat between his parents on the couch.
“Let’s talk about this morning,” Jared began, and your heart started racing as you rested your chin on top of Shep’s head.
“Auntie Y/N was in your bed,” Tom stated, and Jared and Gen nodded.
“Did you have a bad dream?” Shep asked, turning to look at you with concern in his eyes.
You huffed a laugh, wrapping your arms around him.
“No, I-” you shook your head, kissing his temple. “Don’t worry about me, kiddo.”
Gen ran her hand through Tom’s hair, resting it on his crown.
“Boys,” she said, and they both looked her. “You know that Mommy and Daddy love each other very much?”
They nodded, Shep leaning back against you.
“And sometimes, Mommy and Daddy kiss each other,” Jared continued.
Tom pulled a face, and Gen shook her head.
“This is important,” she told him, quietly. “Can you listen?”
“Sorry, Mama,” he murmured, sitting up straighter.
You looked across at Jared, his warm smile offering comfort.
“Sometimes, Mommy and Daddy kiss Y/N, too,” he told his sons, who both nodded slowly, unsure what to make of it.
“Daddy loves Y/N like he loves Mommy,” Gen continued, taking a breath as she caught your eye. “And Mommy… Mommy loves her, too.”
It was as if your heart stopped for a second, your breath catching in your throat.
“Me too,” Shep spoke up, cutting the tension and causing you to laugh.
“You love her, too?” Jared clarified, and he nodded.
“Yeah,” Tom agreed.
“I love you guys,” you murmured, kissing the top of Shep’s head again.
Jared looked at you, a question in his eyes.
You nodded, knowing what he was asking without him having to say it.
“There’s another thing,” he stated, grabbing the attention of his sons. “Baby Ditto - Y/N’s baby - is gonna be your sibling.”
Tom gasped, looking up at his father.
“We’re gettin’ a sister?” he asked, excitedly.
Jared laughed, pushing his hair back and kissing his head.
“Or another brother,” he clarified. “But Y/N’s baby is Daddy’s baby, too.”
Shep shifted again, looking up at you sincerely.
“Please can we have a sister?” he asked, and you laughed softly.
“I can’t decide that,” you told him, holding his chin when he started to pout. “But it’s okay if it’s a brother, right?”
He shrugged, “I guess. But try and make a sister?”
Gen laughed, standing and lifting Shep up onto her hip.
“Y/N can’t do anything to make Baby Ditto a boy or a girl,” she explained. “Either way, we love the baby, don’t we?”
Shep nodded, and Tom did the same.
He was watching you curiously, and you smiled at him, hiding your concern.
“What’s up, buddy?” you asked.
He took a second to contemplate before shaking his head and smiling back.
“Nothin’,” he smiled, crawling into his dad’s lap.
“Any questions?” Jared asked, and the boys both shook their heads. “Okay, go play.”
He playfully pushed Tom from his lap and Gen put Shep down, the two of them rushing off towards the playroom, talking about Ninja Turtles again as if nothing had happened.
Gen sat down on the arm of your seat, her hand resting on the back of your chair.
“Told you,” she smiled, tilting her head slightly. “It’s gonna be fine.”
You smiled, looking absently at the carpet in the middle of the floor.
“Yeah,” you murmured, glancing up at Jared before looking at Gen. “It is.”
Danneel took you to the airport on Thursday afternoon.
Jared had wanted to go with you, but gave up on the idea when you pointed out a few issues with his plan.
“Everyone knows I live with them,” you had reminded him. “It makes sense for her to take me. If it was you or Jensen we’d get too much attention, which is the opposite of what I want. Plus, we don’t need more speculation about Baby Ditto, do we?”
They’d arranged for airport security to take you to the gate, seeing as you’d be traveling alone, and on the other end you’d wait in the VIP lounge for Misha’s flight to get in.
His flight was due to land less than an hour after yours, and then the two of you were going to travel up to Blackpool together.
You and Danneel got to the airport early, so she stayed with you until you could check in.
You were dressed for comfort - a loose sweater to cover your little bump, and a pair of leggings - your clothes cool enough to stop you overheating in Austin but thick enough to keep you warm in England.
You were sat in a relatively quiet section of the airport, your feet up on the seat in between the two of you.
“Hey,” Danneel murmured, reaching for your wrist and pulling your hand away from your mouth.
You’d been biting on a hangnail without realising it.
“You okay?” she asked, concern evident in her tone.
“Yeah,” you smiled, shaking your head slightly. “A bit nervous. I’ve never really left the country apart from Vancouver.”
She nodded slowly.
“I thought as much,” she admitted. “It’s a real long flight and it’s overnight, so you could sleep for a lot of it.”
“That’s the plan,” you agreed, surprising yourself with how well you were handling your anxiety. “I get in at like 7am local time, so I’m hoping to sleep for most of the journey.”
“Good,” she nodded, pulling out her phone and aiming the camera at you.
“Dan, no,” you laughed, trying to bat it away.
“C’mon, smile,” she grinned, unrelenting.
You turned away, running a hand through your hair.
“I thought I said ‘no paparazzi’,” you joked, finally turning back and sticking your tongue out at her.
If she was going to get a picture of you without makeup, you were going to ensure that you were deliberately imperfect.
“Gorgeous,” she grinned. “Work it.”
You rolled your eyes, grateful that she pocketed her phone, obviously satisfied with the picture.
“I’m gonna miss you while I’m away,” you told her, and she smiled.
“What, even though I keep taking photos of you when you don’t want them?” she teased, and you laughed.
“Despite that,” you confirmed, and she reached for your hand.
“I’ll miss having you around the house,” she agreed. “But JJ is gonna want to FaceTime with you on like a daily basis, so you won’t have to miss us too much.”
You smiled, squeezing her hand before letting it go.
“I love that kid,” you murmured, and she smiled back at you.
“That’s probably for the best,” she told you. “You’ve made quite an impression on her.”
“She has on me, too,” you replied, looking up at the screen and seeing that you could check in now. “Show time.”
You got to your feet, shrugging your purse onto your shoulder before being pulled into a hug.
“You’re gonna have fun,” Danneel assured you, and you nodded, smiling genuinely as you pulled away.
“I’ve got a good feeling about it,” you admitted.
“I think it’ll do you some good to have some time for yourself,” she mused, and you agreed. “Okay, so, at the check-in desk, once they get your name they’ll know to assign you security.”
“I know,” you laughed softly, “Jared went through it with me last night and Jensen did before we left earlier.”
“You’ll be met with security to take you to the lounge in London, too,” she continued, regardless.
You realised that she was saying it to herself as much as she was to you, assuring herself that you were going to be safe.
“Misha will come and find you,” she added, her hands on your shoulders. “I want you to call me once you get to the lounge.”
Jensen had set your phone up onto an international plan - something that you didn’t even think of but came as second nature to them - so that you could stay in contact while you were away.
“It’ll be the middle of the night here,” you reminded her, and she shook her head.
“I’m not sleeping until I know you’ve landed safely,” she told you, and you sighed, kissing her cheek.
“I’ll call you when I land,” you assured her. “And I’ll text you when I meet Misha, and when we get to Blackpool.”
She nodded, satisfied, catching your wrists as you pulled away.
“I’m gonna be fine,” you reminded her.
“Yeah,” she agreed. “I just worry about you.”
You laughed fondly.
“Such a mom.”
“Someone’s gotta be,” she murmured, pulling you into one final hug. “Love you, kiddo.”
“I love you, too,” you assured her, pulling back and lifting the handle of your luggage. “I’ll be fine.”
“Oh, yeah. Of course,” she agreed, and you both pretended not to notice that her eyes were glistening. “You’re an Ackles girl. You’ve got this.”
The security person they assigned to you was a young guy - Alex - probably only a few years older than you.
Once you got talking, after realising that you were going to be with each other for the next hour at least, he admitted that he knew who you were.
He also admitted that it wasn’t from your acting, but from the ‘scandal’.
“There’s no scandal,” you told him as you sat waiting by the gate, Alex in the seat one over from you like Danneel had been earlier. It would’ve looked completely casual were it not for the fact he had a taser and God know’s what else attached to his belt.
“Not to overstep,” he hedged. “But there kinda is. I don’t even watch your show and I know about it, so…”
“It’s all speculation,” you assured him, pulling at your sweater self-consciously. “The only fact in the whole situation is that I’m pregnant.”
He nodded, slowly.
“So it really isn’t Jensen’s?” he asked, and you shook your head. “But you’re living with him?”
“I’m living with his family,” you corrected, pulling out your phone with the intention of showing him pictures of you and the kids, but instagram notifications threw you off course.
You opened the app, surprised to see that the picture Danneel tagged you in wasn’t you with your tongue out - rather an almost posed-looking image of you from when you were facing away.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her caption made your heart swell, and you double-tapped and saved the picture without a second thought.
You showed the picture and caption to Alex instead, Danneel’s comment proving your point better than what you’d intended on showing him.
“Jensen’s wife,” you explained, and he nodded. “They’re like my parents. I literally called Jay ‘dad’ the other day.”
You left out the part where it was because you were talking to JJ, but he laughed, handing back your phone.
“You’re a lot cooler than people seem to think you are,” he told you, and you let out a startled laugh.
“Wow, thanks,” you teased, and he shook his head.
“Sorry, I-” he laughed, looking down. “That came out wrong.”
“It’s okay,” you smiled, sitting up straighter when you saw a girl in a ‘You Are Not Alone’ shirt approach.
Alex tensed, but you shook your head, smiling at the girl.
She looked younger than you by a couple of years and she was walking over calmly so you didn’t see her as a threat.
“Y/N?” she asked, her voice timid.
“Yeah,” you confirmed, smiling warmly. “How’re you?”
“Good,” she nodded. “I’m… wow.”
You laughed kindly, standing up and pulling your sweater down to cover your butt.
“Hug?” you asked, and she nodded, starstruck.
You hugged her, and she squeezed you tight.
“Are you headed to Asylum?” you asked once you’d sat back down, crossing your legs under you.
She shook her head.
“We don’t have money for conventions,” she admitted, almost embarrassed. “I never thought I’d get to meet you.”
“Not having money isn’t something to be ashamed of,” you told her, quietly. “Getting to the Supernatural auditions practically cost me my last dime. I know what it’s like, and you don’t have to be embarrassed. Not with me.”
She nodded, a smile pulling at her lips.
“What’s your name?” you asked, and she blushed.
“Oh, sorry. I’m Maya,” she introduced, and you smiled again.
“It’s so good to meet you, Maya,” you told her as her name was called from the gate across.
“My mom,” she laughed slightly. “I just wanted to say that I think you’re really brave and lovely and you don’t deserve the crap that you’ve been getting.”
“I really appreciate that,” you told her, honestly.
“Maya!” her mom shouted, the family getting ready to board. “Apúrate!”
“Ay, estoy yendo!” she shouted back, smiling apologetically back at you.
“Que tengan un buen vuelo,” you told her, and her eyes widened as you winked.
Spanish had come easy to you at high school, the only language other than English that you’d ever been able to understand properly. The expression on Maya’s face told you that you hadn’t butchered her language too much in your first attempt at speaking it in years.
“Gracias,” she replied, waving awkwardly to Alex as she rushed off to her family.
You laughed softly as you watched her apologise to her mom, the woman smiling kindly as Maya explained who you were.
“Are they all like that?” Alex asked, and you shook your head.
“Unfortunately not,” you admitted. “But the ones that are make everything worth it.”
He nodded as new information flashed up on the screen.
“Priority boarding,” he told you, getting to his feet. “That’s you.”
“Priority?” you asked, getting out your boarding pass.
“Yeah,” he laughed softly. “Dude, you’re business class and pregnant. That’s like… double priority.”
You laughed, stretching your arms above your head seeing as you were about to be on a plane for pushing ten hours.
“Well, thank you for keeping me company,” you told him, and he smiled.
“No problem,” he assured you. “I got paid for sitting down for forty minutes, it’s been a good day.”
You shrugged your purse onto your shoulder once more, taking a step in the direction of the gate.
“See you around,” you shot over your shoulder, and he nodded.
“Have a good flight, Y/N.”
You took a deep breath as you walked up to the gate, feeling calm despite your racing heart.
You’ve got this.
You’re an Ackles girl.

You’re Not The Only One Chapter 8
Read 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7
Ignis’s P.O.V. 
I have always had the instinct to protect Adria, ever since I first met her at the castle when she came with Clarus. It only became more real when Gladiolus asked me to start to take care of her and pose as her brother. 
“Ignis, I don’t have a good feeling about tomorrow.” Adria says, sitting next to the hotel window 
 “Why is that?” I ask, walking over to her 
 She looks over at me and shakes her head, rotating some of her arrows between her fingers. 
 “I just do, I don’t know why, but I can’t shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen.” She says 
 I nod and sit down next to her as she messes with the arrows, slowly starting to put them away.
 “Lets not worry about tomorrow, we don’t know what to expect.” I say 
 “Always expect the worse.” She says
 “That’s a thing we grew up learning.” I say
She nods and finishes putting her arrows and crossbow away. She stands up and runs her hand through her hair, pulling it to the side. 
“I think I’m gonna go to bed, I need some sleep if I’m going to be ready for tomorrow.” She says 
“Alright. Goodnight. I’m always here if you need it.” I say
“I know. You better get some sleep too.” She says 
“I will.” I say with a small smile 
I watch as she goes over to one of the couches and lays down, pulling a blanket over her and closing her eyes. 
-~-
Today is the day when the Emperor and Chancellor of Niflheim come and have their yearly visit with the royal family, the worst part is the chancellor is Adria’s biological father, and she just started to be happy again. 
“Iggy!” I hear Adria yell, as she comes running into the room 
“Adria, are you okay?” I ask, standing up from the desk chair 
I turn around and look at her and see tears running down her face and a little blood trickle coming from the right side of her neck. I quickly grab the first aid kit on the desk and pull her over to one of the beds. 
“What happened?” I ask, starting to tend to the wound 
“My f-father, he threatened to kill me because I was a traitor. He pulled his dagger out and put it against my throat and caused this cut.” She whispers, barely loud enough for me to hear
“What made him stop?” I ask 
“He heard somebody coming and quickly rushed off.” She says 
“We need to report this to the king.” I say
 ‘And I need to let Gladio know.’ I think to myself
“What if we see him again?” She asks, fear lacing her voice 
“With this man, always expect the worse.” I say “Besides I won’t let anything happen to you.” 
I finish bandaging the cut then give her a small kiss to the forehead. I put the supplies away and set it in its place on the desk. 
“Lets go tell the king.” I say 
She nods and follows me out of our room as she keeps her head down. I walk towards the throne room and see the Chancellor and Emperor already in there. I hear Adria gasp and can feel her slightly back up. I look back at her as she is shaking her head. I turn around and kneel in front of her, setting my hands on her shoulders. 
“He can’t hurt you in here, not in front of the king.” I say 
She takes a deep breath and nods, looking at him then at the ground. I stand back up and turn back towards the room and see Noctis standing next to his father. I walk in and walk right past the emperor and Ardyn, with Adria right behind me. I walk up Clarus and stand next to him, waiting until the emperor and chancellor leave the room. 
I watch as the emperor leaves but Ardyn stays back and looks at Adria then the king. King Regis looks at Gladio then me and nods. 
“Gladiolus, do you mind taking Adria and Noctis for an extra training session?” King Regis asks 
“Yes my king.” He says and collects Adria and Noctis and walk out
“Do you need something Chancellor?” The king asks
“Your men kidnapped my daughter, three years ago.” He says 
“I’m sorry. But you were the one who was about to let her get killed by your army.” Clarus Amicitia cuts in 
“She was training, she could’ve handled it. I knew what she was cable of.” He hisses 
“I’m sorry chancellor, but I am not going to tear her away from where she is right now. When she first came to us, she was emotionally scarred and worn out. Over these three years, she has grown close to a few of my men, and my own son. And she is happy here, I am not going to tear her away from here. So please just leave her and let her be happy. This is what is best for her.” He says 
Ardyn shakes his head then storms out. I turn towards Clarus and King Regis. Regis is shaking his head then looks at me. 
“Did you need something Ignis? You seemed angered when you and Adria first entered the room.” He says 
“My king,” I say with a bow “I wanted to report to you that Adria was attacked by the chancellor.” 
“What do you mean attacked?” Clarus asks, worry evident in his voice 
“Mr. Izunia pulled her aside in the hallway and started to threaten her that he will kill her for betraying Niflheim. And after that he brought a dagger to her throat and gave her a small cut on the side of her neck.” I say 
“Thank you for telling us Ignis.” Clarus says “We’ll keep an eye on him and Adria.” 
“Thank you.” I say, bowing again and walking out 
I make my way towards the training room, hearing the wood swords clashing together. I smile and continue to walk, when I get this feeling that I am being followed. I turn around and looks around when I finally spot Mr. Ardyn Izunia. I cross my arms as he walks over to me, chuckling. 
“What do you need Mr. Izunia?” I ask 
“Why didn’t the king send you away with the three when I stayed back?” He asks 
“Because he knew that you were going to bring up Adria again just like you do every year. And Adria is my responsibility since you couldn’t take care of her properly.” I say 
“I did take care of her, she just doesn’t realize it, just like you guys don’t.” He says 
“You sure had a weird way of showing your care for her.” I say 
“Well whatever you have been putting through my daughter’s head, I need you to stop.” He says, closing in 
“I won’t stop telling her the truth. You just need to leave her alone and not to attack her in her own home.” I say “I won’t let any harm come to her again.” 
He scoffs then quickly walks away from me and down towards his room. I watch him disappear then walk into the training room to see Adria sparring with Gladio. 
-~-
I’m standing in the middle of Noct’s kitchen, preparing dinner for him and Adria, while I wait for them to get home from school. I hear the door open and some laughing. 
“Ignis, are you here?” Adria yells 
“In the kitchen!” I say 
They walk into the apartment and Adria automatically hurries into the kitchen to help me. Noctis watches us and sets his book bag on one of the hooks. 
“Noctis, you came to live on your own to prove to your dad that you can take care of yourself. And with that, you need to know how to clean up after yourself.” I say 
“I’m working on it Ig. I promise, I just lose track of time a lot.” He says 
I hear Adria laugh and say something. I laugh and shake my head and finish up dinner. 
As they finish dinner, Adria takes the dishes and brings them to the sink and Noctis pulls me to the other room. I look at him as he glances back at Adria. 
“What’s been going on?” I ask 
“I don’t know if Adria would want me to tell you this, but she’s been having a hard time at school.” He says 
“What do you mean by that?” I ask 
“People are bullying her for being different.” He says 
“What do you mean by different?” I ask again 
“There is nobody else with her color of hair, and she’s a lot smarter than everybody else.” He says 
I look back at Adria and see her just washing the dishes and looks away, the scar that Ardyn gave her on her neck a few years ago completely visible. I sigh and nod, looking back at Noctis. 
“Thanks for telling me.” I say
“Of course.” He says 
“And thanks for watching out for her.” I say 
“Anytime, I know you would want to know if something happened to her.” He says 
I nod and walk over to her, helping her dry and put away the dishes. She looks at me and smiles softly. 
“So I hear that you are being bullied at school.” I say
“Let me guess, Noct told you.” She says 
“Yeah. Now why are they bullying you?” I say 
“Didn’t Noct tell you?” She asks
“Yes, but I want to hear it from you.” I say 
“It’s because of my hair being a different color than anybody’s. And because I am able to figure things out faster than most people.” She says
“And you’re letting that get to you?” I ask 
“Nope. I’m the daughter of the Chancellor of Niflheim, I need to always expect the worse.” She says
“Glad to hear that coming from you.” I say with a smile 
She smiles as puts away the last dish then collects her things and hollers goodbye to us and goes to her apartment. 
-~- 
I look around the room as I start to wake up and see almost everybody awake, except for Adria. I get up and stretch, hooking my earpiece up to the others and put it on. 
“Be prepared for anything guys. We don’t know what we are about to deal with.” I say 
“Just like Adria would say, “Always expect the worse.”” Prompto says 
She wakes up and smiles as she hears the quote. I hand her, her earpiece and she puts it in, adjusting it until it fits her just right. 
“Alright, lets get on the job.” She says
Adria’s P.O.V. 
I am taking down magitek as I try to find the other two. I sent Prompto to go help Noctis, but I haven’t heard from Ignis or Gladio, and it is starting to worry me. 
“Ig, Gladio, how are you guys holding up?” I ask 
No reply from either. 
“Prompto, do you see them at all from the air?” I ask 
“I can’t see them Adria, there are too many magitek.” He says “Wait, I think I see them, but it’s more towards the altar.” 
“Alright, thanks Prompto.” I say 
I start to run towards the altar, taking out as many of the magitek I can, but it gets to the point where I can’t fight them off. I feel one of their metal claws dig into my shoulder, causing me to scream out in pain. I hear Gladio and Ignis yelling. I try to pull away from the magitek trooper, but his grip is way to strong. 
That’s when I see him, my father, walking towards the trooper that is holding me down. 
“Oh, just like old times, when I saw you for the first time since they kidnapped you. When I pulled you aside and confronted you for becoming a traitor.” He says, pulling his dagger out and putting it at my throat, again 
“Don’t touch me. They are the ones who rescued me and I owe them for that.” I say, gulping and looking at the knife 
“Where’s your bodyguard?” He asks 
“You mean my brother?” I hiss 
“Whatever you want to call him. He isn’t here to save you this time.” He says 
“Adria!” I hear Ignis yell, the pain in his voice killing me 
I look at my father and try to lunge at him, only to be pulled back and have my shoulder dug into even more, causing a trickle of blood start to go down my arm. I shake my head as Ardyn motions for the trooper to follow him. 
As we follow Ardyn, I see a whole bunch of magitek holding a body down. I look down and see the glasses coming off of his face. Ignis, what the hell is he doing to him. I try to pull away again, yelling out in pain. 
“I thought you would have learned, the harder you try to fight, the deeper the wound goes.” Ardyn says
“Ardyn, just let her go.” Ignis says, trying to pull free from all of the magitek on top of him 
“I love how you think that protective brother is going to work.” He says
 “Father, stop, please. He didn’t do anything. I’ll do anything if you just let my friends go.” I say
Ardyn kneels next to Ignis, taking his dagger with him and just looking at him as he looks up at me.
 ‘I’m sorry.’ He lips to me 
I look at him then up at the sky and see Prompto coming towards us with the ship he stole earlier to go help Noct. He quickly kicks the magitek holding me and grabs me, flying away from Ardyn and Ignis. 
“Prompto, we can’t just leave them!” I yell 
“Ignis told me to come save you and keep you safe. He’ll find a way out, we both know this.” He says 
“Where’s Noct?” I ask 
“He’s over by Leviathan, but there isn’t another way to get to him. She has it all blocked off.” He says 
I hold onto the handles for dear life as we continue to fly through the destruction. I look back and see a stray ship head towards the altar. 
“Adria, duck!” I hear Prompto yell 
“Why?...” I ask 
When I turn my head around, one of Leviathan's water things hits me, knocking me off of the ship and I black out. 
-~- 
I groan as I sit up, looking around the room. I see Prompto sitting in one of the chairs, asleep. I look over at the rocking chair to see Ignis asleep. Gladio is sitting on the couch, reading his book. But there is no Noctis. 
I swing my feet over the edge and go to stand up, when Gladio finally looks up and quickly gets to his feet. 
“Careful Adria.” He says 
“I’m fine Gladio. But what happened?” I ask 
“What is the last thing you remember?” He asks and sits next to me 
“My father’s men holding Ignis to the ground.” I start, shaking my head “That’s all I can remember.” 
“Prompto came and took you away like Ignis asked him to. You were looking back to see if you could see Noct or Ig, when one of Leviathan’s minions came and hit you, causing you to fall off of the engine you and Prompto were riding.” He says
I can feel my eyes widen as I look over at Ignis and see a new mark on his face. My hands go up to my mouth as I gasp. 
“What did he do to him?” I hiss
“I’m not entirely sure. But whatever he did to him, it caused his sight to disappear. He only believes its temporary, but we’re not sure.” He says
I shake my head as I purse my lips, running one of my hands through my hair, stopping at a knot in it, feeling the blood stuck in it. 
“How long was I out?” I ask 
“Two days. Noct is still out cold, that fighting took a lot out of him, he’s lucky to still be alive.” Gladio says
“Wht about Lunafreya? The last thing I remember about her was seeing an airship flying towards the altar.” I say 
He shakes his head and looks away. 
“Which one killed her?” I ask 
“Your father.” He says 
I stand up and walk to the window and cross my arms, wincing as I move my injured shoulder. 
“Go get cleaned up, you look horrible. I’ll let Ignis know that you’re awake when he wakes up.” Gladio says 
“Thanks Amicitia. For everything.” I say 
He nods and smiles, going back to his book.

What He Never Had - Part 3
Title: What He Never Had
Pairing: Reader x Sam
Word Count: 1,075
Warnings: Witches/spells
Summary: Sam Winchester has a history of his relationships ending poorly, something you didn’t know when you hooked up with him the next morning. After something goes very wrong the next morning, he has the option to right the wrong and let you go, or hope that you can still reciprocate the feelings he has for you when all is the way it’s supposed to be. Your time together would change both of your lives forever, but it’s up to Sam as to whether the change would happen at all.
A/N: Most of this is told from Sam’s POV, but some is from the reader’s perspective. It takes place in Season 12; however, this story diverges from canon. For the sake of this fic, please ignore the season’s timeline and major plot.
What He Never Had Masterlist
Your name: submit What is this? // <![CDATA[ document.getElementById("submit").addEventListener('click', myHandler); function myHandler() { var v = document.body.innerHTML; var input = document.getElementById("inputTxt").value; v = v.replace(/\by\/n\b|\(y\/n\)/ig, input); document.body.innerHTML = v; } // ]]>
_______________
Three days passed and neither Sam nor his brother had figured out who the woman from the diner had been. After a day, they’d assumed she’d been put under a spell of some kind, but they hadn’t been able to figure out what kind of spell it was. They’d searched the three cars—hers, Sam’s hot-wired one, and the Impala—and both rooms for hex bags, though that idea had been a dead end. Cas hadn’t called since they’d first asked him to help them figure out what was going on, and Y/N hadn’t gotten any better. Sam finally resigned himself to the fact that the spell wasn’t going to wear off over time, unlike the many others they’d dealt with over the years.
“Sam? Are you sure you don’t want to come to the wedding planner with me?” Y/N asked for the fifth time that morning. Dean glared at Sam from across the motel table where they were researching and Sam kicked his shin before he could say anything.
“Um… Actually, yeah, I’ll come. I could use a break from work,” Sam replied, smiling. He closed his laptop and stood, stretching slightly. He tried not to notice the way Y/N’s gaze was focused intently on his lower stomach when he dropped his arms back down to his sides and readjusted his flannel. “You ready?” She blinked and then nodded, forcing a nonchalant smile.
Sam followed her outside to her car. It was old, blue, and falling apart, but when he’d asked her about it the day before when they’d made a dinner run, Y/N had told him that it had been the first big thing she’d ever purchased on her own. She had gotten it when she’d graduated college. When she’d told him the story, he could tell that it had been a truly happy moment in her life, and he hadn’t had the heart to tell her that he could easily hot-wire her a better car with no cost to her.
“Is something wrong, Sam? You know you can talk to me about anything.” Y/N’s question surprised him, pulling him out of his thoughts.
“What?” Sam replied, stopping on the passenger side of the car. She shrugged a little and unlocked the doors, then slid into her seat. After he had buckled up and she was backing the car out of the parking spot, she glanced over at him again, looking reluctant to speak.
“I don’t know. I guess you just seem… Different. Less talkative than before. You’ve been quieter since I came back to our room,” Y/N admitted. Sam looked over at her, biting down on his lip. More than anything, he wanted to tell her what was going on. She deserved as much, but he couldn’t get himself to recount the story of the strange woman they had seen in the diner. He’d been putting it off for as long as possible so he could spend more time with her without having to think about how she was dealing with the supernatural. At the same time, however, he couldn’t get married. That cost money that he and Dean didn’t have, and he couldn’t get married to someone he had just met. It would be putting Y/N in danger, too, and the mere thought of that made bile rise in his throat.
“I’ve just been thinking a lot, I guess,” Sam replied slowly. He had to be careful about what he said to her. “Are we taking this too fast? I mean, maybe we should save up some more money. That way you could have a bigger wedding, or we could get a nicer apartment or something afterwards.” The lie came smoothly, but he felt a little ache inside his chest as he spoke about weddings and apartments. Sam hadn’t thought about those things since he’d wanted to propose to Jess over ten years ago. He watched Y/N chew on the inside of her cheek as she mulled over his words. She pulled the car over into the turn lane and flipped on the turn signal, eyes focused on the red arrow hanging over the intersection.
“Do you want to wait? If you want to, then I will. I don’t want you to force you to do anything you don’t want to do, Sam…” The irony of her words struck him. Here she was, being forced to think something that wasn’t even remotely true, yet her concern seemed to be only for him and his wishes. The ache in his chest grew bigger.
“Are you sure?” he asked. Y/N glanced over at him and nodded with a tiny smile, then reached up to smooth out the worried wrinkle between his eyebrows with her thumb. Sam realized that she’d done that a lot the past few days, but strangely enough, it didn’t bother him. He liked—no, loved—the little displays of affection that Y/N showed him. All the times she’d touched his hair, smoothed out little wrinkles, and put her hand on his back… It made him wish that their relationship was real. Even though he knew that he would never be able to have an apple-pie life, as Dean put it, he wanted so badly for the engagement and the relationship as a whole to be something other than a hoax.
Sam shook his head slightly once Y/N went back to driving, trying to get the romantic thoughts from his head. He needed to focus on reversing the spell and freeing her. After knowing firsthand what it was like to be made to think you were attracted to someone, all Sam wanted to do was make sure that Y/N would be okay in the long run.
“I’m gonna run inside and cancel our appointment, then,” Y/N told him, leaning across the center console of the car to kiss Sam’s cheek. He hadn’t even realized that they’d arrived at the wedding planner’s office and he smiled when she opened the door of the car to head inside.
“I love you, Sam.” She leaned against the metal edge of the door, eyes sparkling. Her smile was bright and adoring, and he couldn’t help but smile back at her.
“I love you too, Y/N.” The words came unbidden, almost easier than the lies he’d been telling. Sam tried not to see how happy they made her, or how happy Y/N’s words made him.
