SORTA SPOILERS FOR DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE BELOW
not really but I thought I'd be safe
SO ANYWAY I FINALLY WATCHED DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE AND BOY HOWDY AM I FEELING EMOTIONS!!!!
I'M NOT EVEN GONNA TALK ABOUT THE MOVIE IT WAS GREAT I ALREADY RANTED IN REAL LIFE (GOOD AND BAD BUT THE MOVIE WAS GREAT DON'T GET ME WRONG) I'M TALKIN' ABOUT THE FREAKING M U S I C V I D E O THEY PUT IN DESIGNED TO MAKE ME SPECIFICALLY CRY DURING THE END CREDITS!!!!
LIKE. FUCK. TALK ABOUT AN END OF AN ERA. ALL THOSE LITTLE ONE-OFF, TWO-OFF MOVIES, ALL THE TECHNICALLY-MARVEL-BUT-THEY'RE-NOT-IN-THE-SAME-UNIVERSE-BECAUSE-OF-RIGHTS-ISSUES MOVIES OF THE 80S AND THE 90S AND THE EARLY 2000S???? AND THE BTS VIDEOS AND THE INTERVIEWS AND EVERYONE FROM EVERYTHING AND AH FUCK NOW I'M CRYING AGAIN.
AND THE SOOOOOONG. IT TOOK ME A SECOND TO PLACE IT BECAUSE I WAS A) SAD AF WHILE WATCHING IT AND B) I GOT IT MIXED UP WITH "TIME OF OUR LIVES" BY TYRONE WELLS BUT NO SIREE NOPE NOPE NOPE THESE MOTHERFUCKERS PICKED "GOOD RIDDANCE (TIME OF YOUR LIFE)" BY MOTHERFUCKING GREEN DAY. AND DAMN IT WOULDN'T YA KNOW THIS WAS THE SONG I SANG AT MY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION SO THIS IS ALREADY ASSOCIATED WITH THE END OF AN ERA BUT TO BE THROAT PUNCHED LIKE THAT!!?!? AT THE END OF T H I S MOVIE OF ALL PLACES???? WITH THE CALLBACKS AND THE BTS FOR ALL THE X-MEN MOVIES AND THE OG DAREDEVIL MOVIE AND ALL THEM AND FAAAACK THEY REALLY DID THAT. THEY REALLY PICKED GOOD RIDDACNE FOR THIS AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
TL;DR sad ranting about the end credits. no not the end-end credits, the clip before that. yeah, yeah, you didn't miss much in the sad, angry rant I just typed out, but you should definitely watch the movie with the end credits to cry with me okay? okay. k thx bye <3
Edit: Messed up just a little bit. I forgot, it was my middle school graduation, not my high school graduation. XD Sorry, sorry, but my point still stands.

Howdy mate, could you do Joker headcanons A-Y for the tickle headcanons thing? Sorry if your not into Dc stuff, is there a list of your fandoms somewhere so I can see what I can ask. Sorry ^^"
Hey, don't worry about it! If you're wondering what fandoms I'm in, just shoot me a message asking for the list. :) The Joker is virtually the only character I'll write for that's in the DC Comics universe because I am not familiar with anyone else. XD
A: Aftercare | What is their aftercare like after a heavy round of tickling?:)
I think that he'd stick his fingers in the 'lee's mouth and stretch their lips up into a comically stilted smile once they aren't doing it anymore. I know that's a bit gross, but I think it suits him since he's a bit gross. XD
B: Bondage | How do they react to bondage, do they enjoy it and if yes, what is their favorite pose?
Yeah, I think he'd definitely like to both be tied up and tie others up. His favorite positions are flat on his back with his arms above his head and sitting in a chair with the arms restrained upwards respectively.
C: Chase | What are their chances in a chase, both as a lee and ler?
As a 'lee, he loves a good chase. He'll usually skip away from his pursuer as he hums a little tune, taking care to not go as fast as he can so getting caught is a certainty. "Catch me if you can~!"
As a 'ler, he will not hold anything back when it comes to chasing his 'lee. Prepare to be sprinted after at full speed, usually with him chuckling like a maniac all the while.
D: Death Spot | What is their most ticklish spot?
He seems like a hips sort of guy to me. Wiggles like a worm whenever they're gently pinched. :3c
E: Expression | How do they express their wish to tickle/be tickled?
Whenever he wants to tickle someone, he loves curling his wiggling fingers into faux claws and asking anyone nearby if they just so happen to be ticklish. Run while you can, my friend...
I honestly see him as the type of dude to just ask somebody to tickle him whenever he's in that kind of mood. Bonus points if he stretches himself out along any surface available to him to really send the point home.
F: Fight | What is their behavior in a tickle fight like?
Oh, he's in it to win it. He'll immediately try to pin his opponents down to the best of his ability, but he usually ends up losing more often than not due to how frail he is. He tries his damndest, though.
G: Gentle | How do they react to gentle tickles?
He prefers ones that are a bit harsher, but these ones are alright as well! They make him snort a lot. :)
H: Habits | As a lee/ler or both, do they have specific habits when it comes to tickling?
As a 'lee, he's egging the 'ler on at every opportunity. He is the definition of cocky, and the fact that he only wants more of the sensation wants it starts definitely doesn't help.
As a 'ler, you can bet your ass that he's laughing along with his 'lee the entire time. Sometimes it gets to the point where he's deeper in hysterics than they are, which can be ever so slightly unsettling depending on who you ask. XD
I: Interrogation | How well would they handle a tickle interrogation?
VERY well. Boy is bing chilling the entire time. Just laughs his head off and falls in love with those supposedly torturous touches.
J: Joy | Their absolute favorite thing about tickling?
Quite literally everything. The fact that it makes people laugh, the fact that it can be used against some people, the fact that it gives him a huge power rush, and the list goes on and on...
K: Killer Move | As a ler, do they have special skills to use against their lees and drive them crazy with?
He has very nimble fingers that are excellent at delivering a mean barrage of tickles to even the hardest to reach places. No spot is safe from this man.
L: Laughter | What does their laughter sound like when they are tickled?
I personally think it'd sound like Mark Hamill's Joker laugh - high pitched, hooty, and utterly maniacal.
M: Mornings | Their tickle behavior during mornings?
He sometimes falls asleep at his desk from staying up the entire night beforehand, so the mornings are the best time to give him soft little tickles along the back of his neck (he has the best sleepy giggles).
N: Nights | Their tickle behavior during nights?
He DESPISES sleeping, so he is going to try and keep anyone who happens to live with him awake for as long as humanly possible. Yes, this includes mercilessly tickling them to keep them from drifting off. XD
O: Online | Text messaging and social media, do they have some kind of online tickly behavior to tease their lee or ler with?
Oh, hell yeah. He loves using the word "tickle" as much as he possibly can when contributing to his online presence (tickled pink, tickling the ivories, et cetera). He loves flustering any potential 'lees or 'lers alike with that dreaded word...
P: Partner In Crime | If they were to go after a lee and accept the aid of a tickle partner, who do they prefer to join hands with and why?
Harley! These are two tickle hungry maniacs, so it only makes sense that they'd team up together. :) It's extremely flustering to be tag teamed by this duo because they do not stop teasing for even a minute.
Q: Question | Their response to the question ‘are you ticklish’?
Totally just says yes. XD He's super excited as soon as the question practically leaves the other's tongue because he can hardly wait for the incoming onslaught of silently promised tickles.
R: Role | Lee or ler, what is generally their main role?
He's an even switch. Roll the dice with him because he doesn't care about the outcome either way!
S: Safeword | If they were to suggest the safeword for a tickle session, which word will it be?
I don't know why the phrase "royal flush" is coming to mind for this one, but I feel like it fits what with his whole card persona and everything.
T: Teasing | Their most favorite methods of teasing their lee/ler?
He's a HUGE lover of baby talk and gushing over his 'lee's reactions. He is going to replace all of his "Rs" with "Ws" and all that jazz, watching as the other's face lights up like a fucking fire hydrant.
Whenever he's being tickled, he's constantly telling the 'ler to tickle him harder and faster. Your hands are going to be cramping up by the time you've managed to drive him loopy...
U: Unusual | Do they have some unusual tickle spots? Where?
He has a very ticklish collarbone, and it's actually quite easy to tickle since it's so prominent on him.
V: Victim | As a ler, who is their favorite lee and what makes this person their ultimate victim?
Batman, obviously. XD He's proud to hold the title of the famed hero's "Ultimate Rival", so he can't help but want to indulge his other half in a bit of playful shenanigans every now and again (even if they don't get the biggest reactions).
W: Word | What is their reaction to the T-word? Can they say it out loud or do they get embarrassed?
This dude practically breathes the damn word. He is not the type to get easily flustered. XD
X: X-Over | In a crossover AU, which other fandom character would be a fitting tickle fight opponent for them and why?
PENNYWISE! Like, hello?! Two absolutely psychotic clowns (technically) who (in my opinion) adore tickling? It's a match made in heaven (hell)!
Y: YOU | Any personal self- or reader-insert tickle fantasy / headcanon to share with this character?
One of the earliest characters I can remember wanting to tickle/be tickled by.

Being Exiled with Tommy Headcannons!|| đŸ„€
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
irl/ in-game
Genre| angst + comfort
h e a d c a n n o n s||
Sypnosis|
Both you and Tommy ended up getting exiled together.
Artist| OliverSonder on twitter!!
Warnings] mentions of manipulation, character death, spoilers for Tommy’s Exile Arc and the Season 2 finale!!
[can be seen as both platonic or romantic!!]
||gender neutral reader!!||
(also this was not grammar checked and im to lazy to watch through hours of footage so if anything in here is wrong blame it on the DSMP Wiki OKAY LETS GO-)
Tumblr media
So i think its pretty established that if you end up getting exiled with Tommy your one of two things.
- Really sweet and loyal friend that will stick up for in-justice and be there when someone needs you the most
Or
- A total fucking gremlin that will steal your kneecaps and toes and eat your shower curtains in the middle of the night.
There is no inbetween here you guys.
I did end up going for Reader A, though. But you guys tell me if you want headcannons for a gremlin!reader because i will gladly do that!!
But anyways just... enjoy exile!
Tumblr media
Exile|
- It was about his third day in exile when Y/N appeared through the nether portal, bags, pouches, tools, armor, etc. on their person. Tommy thought they either were here to beat him up or got exiled themselves.
- Tommy was pleasantly surprised when he learned that Y/N was actually there on their own accord, helping him through exile and being his shoulder to lean on. The first few days we’re rough, fighting back mobs in the night and farming crops all day. His clothes we’re starting to get dirty and torn by the time Y/N got there.
- Y/N ended up making a little bunker about 30 blocks from where they’re tent was, where they hid all theirs and Tommy’s valuables, such as armor, diamonds & iron, and rations. Although Y/N never gave into Dream and gave him they’re stuff, Y/N simply refused, they wouldn’t be giving in that easily.
- Most of they’re days are spent in caves mining away, chatting and fighting off Creeper’s as they tried to keep the moral high, always keeping Tommy company. Y/N never let him go anywhere alone, they we’re always with him, like his own bodyguard of sorts.
- One time they both find a Mineshaft though and got lost, they ended up at the surface two dayd later with torn clothes, cuts and bruises and we’re in bad shape. Thankfully Y/N had a brewing stand at they’re camp though, so Healing Potions we’re semi-easy to make/get.
- After the duo end up going to the artic though... things got... weird.
- Techno was not expecting to open his door to find the heathen Tommy and sweetheart Y/N at his doorstep shivering and begging to come inside, bags thrown on they’re shoulders as they teeth chattered from the cold wind and snow.
- Whenever Dream comes to visit Y/N always has to hide with Tommy, reassuring him that its okay and they’ll always be there for him, and protect him at any cost, which he highly appreciates.
- The ‘gapple-eating’ thing Tommy did was a cute, yet depressing thing. Seeing him hasitly munching on golden-coated apples was funny and caused giggles, but the meaning behind it always left Y/N with a lump in their throat and a hole in their heart.
- Whenever Tommy is in danger and calls for Dream, Y/N always has to stop him and bring him back to reality, making Tommy realize Dream isnt his friend, and never was. Many nights have happened where the two talk about Tommy’s feelings with Dream, not only for Tommy to vent and let everything out, but also for Y/N to understand whats going on in his head.
- When going into the Nether Tommy always grips Y/N’s hand, as his fear of lava and heights consumes him whole in that firey dimension.
- When Tommy gets up close to Dream in the cabin? Y/N is scared spineless, if people could see them, they’d see the palest, most terrified and worried being on earth.
- Y/N having a heart attack when Ghostbur slips up
- Ghostbur is just a whole thing and just. Y/N needs a break, okay?
- Y/N begrudgingly helping Tommy build his cobblestone tower outside of Techno’s cabin.
- Y/N apologizing soon after to Techno only for him to laugh and ruffle Y/N’s hair, saying he knows how Tommy can get anyone to any situation.
- Very rarely does Y/N ever leave Tommy’s side, when they do its usually to get supplies or visit they’re friends. So when Y/N was walking back to the Nether portal to see Tommy, Techno and Dream all standing there, looking like they’re about to slit the others throat, well...
- Nobody has ever seen Y/N drop kick a person so fast.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Y/N yelled, they’re sword at Dream’s neck, as he laid on his back, his mask covering his shocked expression.
“Answer. Me.” Y/N gritted through their teeth, pushing their swordfurther against the masked mans throat. Techno soon chimed in, reassuring Y/N that nothing to terrible happened.
“It’s fine, Y/N. He didn’t do anything, why not we head back home? Wouldn’t want that homeless man to be to scared spineless, eh?” Techno said, hand on they’re shoulder as he looked Y/N in the eyes.
The 3 walked back to the Nether portal, purple mist engulfing Tommy and Techno as Y/N stood in front of the portal. Back turned towards Dream, Y/N shifted they’re head and glared at Dream with eyes that could kill.
“Don’t do anything you might regret, you megalomaniac.”
Tumblr media
- When Tommy and Tubbo decide to go fight Dream, Y/N is both excited and scared. They hope Dream will finally be taken down, but they dont want Tommy (& Tubbo) to be taken down as well.
- So like any amazing best friend, Y/N brews up a bunch of potions of Strength, Healing + Regen, Invisibility and more. Even if Tommy thought he was going to be walking out of there alone, he wasn’t going to be. Y/N would make sure.
- Y/N watched from afar as Tommy got his disc out of the jukebox, laughing in success. All Y/N did was clap quietly, making sure they’re Invisibility didn’t wear off. They we’re making sure Tommy stayed safe, even if he didn’t realize it. Y/N loved him with they’re whole heart, and everyone knew that.
- At Dreams secret base, Y/N was just getting there as Tommy took Dreams first canon life.
“Tommy. Stop. Dont do anything you might regret.” Dream snarled, looking at the teenage boy, his blue eyes dull, yet full of passion and vigor.
All Tommy did was pursue forward, as everyone waited for what was to come. Tommy took one step to close though, because Dream had decided that he had enough.
Dream brought his arm into the air, hand curled into a fist, he was about to hurl his hand into Tommy’s face when Dream suddenly fell to the ground, arrow in his forehead.
Dream was shot by Y/N
Y/N stood there, enchanted bow in hand, infront of the nether portal that swirled with an eerie purple mist. Y/N lowered their bow, staring at the man who tortured Tommy for weeks now. Y/N simply stepped forward and towered over Dreams corpse before it disappeared in thin air.
Lets just say Dream wouldn’t be hurting the blonde heathen anytime soon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
a/n: howdy everyone how we doing? Decided to do Tommy x Reader for this post, although i am MAJORLY simping for Wilbur atm and i have brainrot so that’ll most likely be the next post (if i dont do a pt. 2 for this one but even so WILBUR).
Anyways i hope i did racooninnit justice, i have no idea how to do headcannons since half the time i ramble (its the adhd) so this was new for me. Definitely not my strong suit but like you live ya learn. Also, sorry if i left out quite a lot, i might make a fic about this and include more events, but this is really long for headcannons (because of my layout) so i didn’t include to much. I dont want people scrolling for like 20 seconds to go to another post (i write on mobile so undercut is not a thing for me RIP)
Anyways have a lovely day and dont let Tommy eat all your gapples!!

Seriously though everyone after mirror must have a battle royale it's too much i doubt all of you will even last longer than today also happy birthday me -dated:28th- do you even realise what sort of commitment you've made to sell pieces of your soul for entertainment and ability to make such epic retorts each and every post?!

Okay now there's alternate timeline versions of responders for the benefit of myself they ain't going on the list bud
There is an incorrect role play blog quotes blog and I am crying. Not of laughter. Just wiuwhdhsjhshjxjabjsjdhdjsj
If any new people join I will go back to causing shower wars for the sake of killing you all I'm done I have snapped my laptop is updating 3 times in a row
I will commit crimes.
Does being a shower responder or role-playing seem encouraging to people to join this "community"? Because I'm pretty sure it's the latter

Hi~!! May I ask number 7,8 and 22, please?=))
well hi!! :D i'd be MORE than happy to answer these, hehe
7. Your favourite ao3 tag. oh man, hmmmmMMMM. when i'm the one writing, honestly, i think my favorite tag to use is "horror," because it makes me feel like i'm contributing to a (fairly) underrepresented genre ;P when i'm the one READING, though, my favorite tag to see is "canon compliant." oooooooh you write a canon compliant fic? you own my heart. i don't know why i'm that way, but boy howdy i sure am.
8. How slow is a slow burn? never! slow! enough!!! but also never FAST enough!!!!!! i'm one of those impatient slow burn people, where i WANT the slow burn to last ages, chapters and chapters, books and books...while i'm also rolling on the ground pulling my hair out like KISS NOW THOUGH MAYBE!!!!! it is impossible to please me when it comes to slow burn. impossible.
22. What is it about watching the same two idiots falling in love over and over again? *sighs dreamily and sets chin on hands* idk man. for my lil' romantic ass, there's just something that gives me the warm fuzzies about seeing all the different ways/scenarios/circumstances around love just H A P P E N I N G. gives ya hope that maybe one day i too can fall in love in an exceptionally bizarre way.
also, there's something to be said for seeing the way OTHER people imagine your faves falling in love and then incorporating those perspectives into your own self-indulgent daydreams XD i'm a HUGE proponent of letting other people help me add to the never-ending stream of make-believe that runs through my head while i'm trying to fall asleep at 2am lmfao!!!
writing asks!!!

Looks like I haven’t posted art here in months and this is my fourth time trying to add a description to this because it keeps getting purged whenever I switch tabs >:( 
Anywho, here’s some PokĂ©mon gijinkas I finished earlier in the week ^^
Additional info stolen from my amino post down below c:
Howdy!
This took me WAY longer than I thought it would. I started this group back in December, and only now just completed it ^^
I’ll be showing them off in the order I finished them along with some info on each character c:
✹Here they are!✹
🏙 Reshiram 🏙
She’s not as complex as the rest of the batch because she started off as just a headshot test and practice for drawing humans ^^’ then everything else kinda just got more complex. Her design is more of a work in progress than the rest.
She’s a living lie detector :)
🎆 Palkia 🎆
[
She took a LONG time to draw and is probably the most complex. Sorta. She’s also probably one of the first gijinkas I’ve designed so her design is pretty solid for now. She’s based off of Roman gladiators and Valkyries. Palkia is also a total jock with a short fuse that constantly gets in fights with her brother, Dialga. She’s kinda a loud idiot but that’s okay. She’s also very rash and tends to act before thinking. Will kick down doors and attempt to put brother in a headlock. Probably chugs sport drinks and punches drywall. Will challenge poor unfortunate souls into doing arm wrestling matches. Has very strong opinions on science fiction. (Stuff with space is superior!) Curses like a sailor and likes to get creative with insults. Cannot organize things at all. Room probably looks like a bomb went off. Has the worst handwriting in her family. Middle child and the shortest out of her siblings. Is uncomfortable around Giratina but feels bad about it.
🌄 Giratina 🌄
Giratina’s another one that I’ve had designed for a while and am pretty happy about it! I tried to give her a more inhuman and unsettling appearance (gaunt features, pale skin, sunken eyes, long limbs, digitigrade legs, four arms, etc) She’s pale from the lack of sunlight and her hair is borderline uncontrollable. It’s in a constant state of poofy rat’s nest.
Believe it or not, she’s probably the friendliest out of her family despite her off putting demeanor. She completely lacks social skills and is still trying to learn how to speak normally after being locked away for eons. She’s best friends with a Shaymin and has gardening as a hobby. She just really wants friends :( She likes stupid paranormal shows and animated movies. Not violent at all unless provoked. Absolutely fascinated by car windows and toasters. She’s the second tallest and the “baby” out of her family. She wishes to have better relations with her siblings and parent but struggles :(
đŸŒș Shaymin đŸŒș
Shaymin. Oh boy Shaymin. So with her I was wanting to do something completely different from the usual Lolita and cutesy based gijinkas. So I made her a punk :) Shay acts like she eats nails for breakfast and isn’t afraid to fight god. She’s short but by god, she’s going to go for the kneecaps. She has a nasty temper and is very protective of her strange noodly demon bestie. Taught her how to garden. She’s loud, argumentative, and ‘Tina’s siblings are probably more scared of her than the Terror of The Distortion World. Does not do well in cold weather. She rides a motorbike, and is the one who generally drags ‘Tina around to get her used to the normal world. Big fan of slasher films and loud aggressive music. Loves nature and is generally enthusiastic about funky plants.
Very short. Very aggressive. Wears stud covered platform boots.
đŸȘ Arceus đŸȘ
Oh boy. Arceus.
He was VERY hard to design but I think I’m happy with the results. For now. I wanted him to look somewhat regal and nasty, and not exactly human.
He’s a major asshole, prick, and elitist, and is petty to the highest degree. Got offended whenever someone suggests that he should go to an anger management class. Probably a Karen. He’s the type to wear a fluffy bathrobe while drinking box wine on a lawn chair on the porch to look scornfully at the neighbors whenever they get too close. Not a great parent. (Loves his gaggle of goblins in his own strange way) Kinda hates everyone. Rude. VERY VERY short temper. VERY stubborn. He’s short and is going to make it everyone else’s problem. (Refuses to just... change his height himself. ‘Cause he’s some primordial creation entity. He just... doesn’t) He woke up one morning and just chose violence. takes great pride in his creations. Awful taste in music. No sense of style. Cant dance. He’s offputting and unsettling to be around because he has a very “off” feeling about him. Really really likes to get the upper hand on others. There are a f e w times when he actually acts like a decent person. Likes to put an air of regality onto him even though he’s a total train wreck. Wears three to four inch heels.
🌌 Dialga 🌌
DIALGA. I also wanted to do something different with him! So I made him a nerd. He likes to take things apart and put them back together. Especially clocks. He’s more level headed than his sisters and has a longer fuse than Palkia. But he’s also very stubborn. He’s a total workaholic and perfectionist. He doesn’t sleep much and can be a nervous wreck whenever he’s behind on whatever schedule he runs on. He gets into fights with his younger sister a LOT and will often try to use her as a lab rat. They’re sorta like Yzma and Kronk. But he’s less diabolical and Palkia’s more aggressive. Like Palkia, He also has very strong opinions on science fiction (Stuff with time travel is WAY better!) he’s also very organized if not organized chaos. He wears a heavy pair of boots that one could hear from a mile away. Think large goth boots with metal in the soles somewhere. Also a metal head. He will blast loud metal or rock music (sometimes more classic rock. Depends on the mood) as he works on whatever insane project he decided to tinker on. He has a large collection of very cursed socks. Somewhat poor eyesight. Generally easier to get along with than Palkia who’s more abrasive. He tends to think more before acting upon things. Probably runs on entirely coffee and energy drinks. B A D taste in fashion. But not worse than Palkia. Likes to read. Not very good handwriting. Tends to bump his head on doorframes. Will walk into things if lost in thought. The tallest out of his family and the oldest out of his sisters. He’s somewhat afraid of ‘Tina.

Roses Are Red | Bang Chan
Tumblr media

Pairing: Bang Chan x princess!reader
Au: royal / fantasy au
Word Count: ~11.2k
Warning(s): some censored language
?, author rambling on and on, some underdeveloped plot what can I say this is mostly for laughs and giggles
Summary: Royal Gardener Christopher Bang only ever wanted to make music all his life, but being orphaned due to a senseless war against the Fire Nation left him at the hands of the kingdom to decide his fate. When tending to some of the many royal roses one day, he happened upon the kingdom’s princess, Y/n, and love at first sight was quite the understatement. However, what they are both unaware of is that she may already be betrothed to another

~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
Howdy y’all
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything in this format

I know many of you are still waiting for me to finish light switch and let me tell you it IS still...under construction ._.”
I can’t stay loyal to one story at a time and life gets hectic ya dig?
...But I promise that EVENTUALLY MAYBE SOMETIME SOON I’ll get around to carving the second half of it
N E way let’s get this ball rolling! ->
So once upon a time in a far away land

...Did you just roll your eyes or yawn? >:(( Don’t do that this is totally exciting
Okay so once upon a time in a far away land
There was a princess named Y/n <3 yes, that would be you, sis
She was the cream of the crop, the bees knees, the peanut butter to everyone’s jelly
...Well maybe like 90% of the jelly
There’s always gonna be haters or skeptics nothing we can do about that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway you were basically loved by almost everyone in the kingdom, for your kindness, hospitality, forthcomingness, honesty, bravery, generosity, and sophistication
Also, you were quite beautiful <3 like now teehee
But there was only one problem
Besides the fact that 10% of the jelly jar had peanut butter lodged in their brain
And that was that your father, the king, refused to let you go outside. Like ever. The only time you saw the sun and felt the wind through your hair was from your highest-Rapunzel-tower window, during required festival appearances or during emergency evacuations because THE FIRE NATION WAS ATTACKING!!!! đŸ”„ (╯°□°)â•ŻđŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„
This, however, rarely happened...er, maybe just once, but it was a false alarm because your half-brother Felix had stayed up too late playing video games (YES there is technology in this medieval au sorry not sorry) and he was just...seeing things
He’d been really stressed because his mother, your actually kind and not at all wicked stepmother, had been lowkey pressuring him to find a lovely princess consort or young fletching maiden
He didn’t necessarily have a problem with that, except for the fact that the whole thing was a huge problem that was stressing him out...marriage??? What was that again??? He kinda just wanted to run around the forest practicing archery with his friends, Dark Knight Changbin and Court Jester Jisung (read: pizza and video games)
BUT THIS WASN’T ABOUT HIM, THIS STORY IS ABOUT YOU (àž‡'̀-'́)àž‡
...Which is what I was getting at
You see
Felix was a great brother regardless of his mistake of screaming about a false Fire Nation attack and throwing you out of bed at 4 am
Besides being fun and great support/company, he also had this...friend...
A boy named Christopher Bang (♄‿♄)
He often went by Bang Chan tho, and he was ALSO your kingdom’s royal gardener
You know this because you often enjoyed watching him tend to the roses outside your tower, and occasionally would hide in the closet when you were SUPPOSED to be at violin lessons but instead dressed Felix up as your stunt double to spy while Chan watered and changed out the soil of the daffodils in your room
Daffodils were your favorite flower next to tulips and cherry blossoms and sunflowers
And 
Almost every other flower in existence that Chan had anything to do with (♄‿♄)
...What could you say, you were hopelessly in love
But he didn’t know that
And the odd thing was
He felt the very same way about you
~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
Can we finally get to some real-time story now?
Okay well
Channie’s pov now here y’all
Bang Chan had been the castle gardener for what felt like eons
His parents had disappeared to fight in the war with the Fire Nation and never came back

:(((
So from a young age, before he was old enough to count, his mom and dad entrusted him to kingdom’s orphanage with care
The local nuns raised him well, and blessed him many times over
He grew up with two best friends there -> a shy boy named Han Jisung and a more confident one named Seo Changbin
The three of them were transferred to work under the kingdom after the local coming-of-age ceremony given to all children when they turn 15
And I totally didn’t steal half of that from an anime or anything...well, just a bit; 25%
So the three of them were whisked off to be given roles of their own to fulfill in order to contribute to society
Changbin was given the title of Dark Knight for his bravery and supreme combat skills
Jisung was awarded the title of Court Jester due to the fact he always made everyone laugh, despite his naturally shy and more introverted demeanor
And Bang Chan, as he preferred to be called, was granted the title of gardener...because...well, they actually denied his musician application, believe it or not
Now, before you get mad
I KNOW, RIGHT?!?!
ARE THESE GUYS FOOLS OR SOMETHING???
WHO WOULD DENY SUCH A TALENTED--
...Well, they were ignorant buffoons, unfortunately (ïœĄâ€ąÌïžżâ€ąÌ€ïœĄ)
So he was forever stuck as a royal gardener because, he worked hard, the court knew it, and their predecessor gardener at the time was kidnapped by the Fire Nation
No one knows why and it’s not important (sorry random garden dude)
He’s okay though...we think
Anyway
So Bang Chan fit the role
And now at 23, to this day he still fit the role
It was the same mundane routine every day
W a t e r  t h e  p l a n t s
C u t  t h e  v e g e t a b l e s
S n i p  t h e  t h o r n s
T r i m  t h e  v i n e s 
C h a n g e  t h e  s o i l
U G H ! ! !
It got to be downright tedious and vexing repeating the same routine like a Zombie by Day6
Which is the song he often hummed with a lull in his eyes as he w a t e r e d and c u t and s n i p p e d and t r i m m e d
And c h a n g e d eua;bhuisahfvirs WAIT A SECOND
(Oh, we’re backing up to age 16 for a sec)
He’s outside the tallest tower s n i p p i n g the thorns on another rose bush when
He looks up to see what time of day it is and stretch his aching back
And he sees
Up in the window
A g i r l ? ? ?



Who is she
She’s GORGEOUS
WOW
HE HAS TO SQUINT BUT HE’S STILL GOT 20/20 VISION AND HE KNOWS A CUTE GIRL WHEN HE SEES ONE
HE’S GOT TEENAGE BOY RADAR
Wowza
She’s h o t đŸ„”đŸ„”
Like the sun beating down on his face right now
Hot hot
Bruuuuuuuuuuuh--
OUCH! The thorns

He can’t be getting lost in the waking daydream glancing out her window above him, he’s got a job to do
Flashforward to a few days later, when he makes an excuse to go back to Tower C and tend to the roses that don’t need tending to
She’s not there :((
Darn
He looks left and right before burying himself into the bushes so he can wait and see if she shows up
But this poor boy is so overworked that he falls asleep
Poor guy needed a nap anyway 😔😔
He’s having a peaceful dreamless sleep when a song enters his mind
It’s actually a song he wrote, when he applied to be a castle musician
He wakes to hearing the song above him
The sweet, sweet melody just wafting daintily through the air
It’s coming from somewhere above him
...But he’s snagged in the thorn bush and can’t get out 🗿💧
O o p s 
Rip
Maybe the bushes did need some work after all--
By the time he rips himself out and basically lost half of his shirt in the process, the song is almost over, coming to a soft decrescendo into a gentle pianissimo
That’s fancy music talk for slowly growing softer and more quiet and ending with a soft, maybe slightly breathy tone
Thankfully it’s cloudy that day so he doesn’t have to squint this time
And BOY IS HE GLAD ABOUT THAT BECAUSE GOOD GRAVY
IT’S HER AGAIN
THE LOVELY MAIDEN HE SAW TWO DAYS AGO
WHO IS SHE?!?!
“Oh, that’s Princess Y/n.”
JISUNG?!?! WHERE DID YOU COME FROM
Boy deadass just pops out of a rose bush like a weasel 🗿💧 what the what
His court jester hat has a few loose thorns in it, and it’s fallen askew to cover half of his face
“...That’s Princess Y/n?” Chan askes, totally in awe
You have such a lovely voice
And he’s bewildered as to how you know his song, seeing as it was a confidential piece he only played for a private group of royals once when auditioning
Jisung just nods, fixing his hat only to have a few of the bells bounce around and whop him in the face
One jingled all the way right into his eye

But he carries on unaffected; must be used to it <_<
“Yeah, her dad is a total overbearing crazy-protective psycho. ...Well, maybe not psycho, but...he’s crazy protective of his daughter. He’s scared if she takes one step outside, some Fire Nation goon is gonna come popping out of a bush like Team Rocket in almost every old school pokemon episode and kidnap her like Pikachu.”
“...I thought Pikachu always got away.”
“...Oh yeah. đŸ€” Bad example then.”
“You are a bad example.”
“Oh yeah?! Well you’re...a good example!”
“...Jisung that was a compliment. And thank you.”
“.........”
...Moving on
“What can you tell me about her?”
“OOOOOOO...Why? You got a crush on her, bro?”
“...I’m just...curious why the king would wanna keep her locked away in a tower like a Christian Anderson tale.”
Jisung sighs and places his hands on his hips like a lecturing mother. “Are you serious? I just told you, His Majesty is crazy overprotective of his only daughter...also, wouldn’t you wanna keep a beauty like that locked away if she were your daughter???”
Chan gives him a disgusted look. “No? Because I’m not an insecure psychopath?? Everyone deserves to be happy and free
” He glances up to the tower. “That can’t be healthy being held prisoner in a giant dungeon like that.”
“True, true...I’d still keep her locked away, though.”
“Jisung!!! Seriously?!”
“WHAT?” (àž‡'̀-'́)àž‡ “I KNOW HOW TEENAGE BOYS ARE!!! THEY’RE GONNA CATCH THESE HANDS BEFORE I LET ONE OF THEIR GRUBBY LITTLE--”
Chan clamps his hand over his friend’s mouth. “I’m gonna stop you right there. Goodbye, Jisung.”
He looks at you one last time, marveling at your beauty with a hint of pity in his eyes before walking away
~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
You hadn’t noticed that day, seven years ago, being too lost in a daydream over whether you wanted tea or a nice iced latte with your lunch...despite how loud they were being
It was one of the few enjoyments of your day
One the few things you got to look forward to: choosing what to have for a meal
Choosing what to wear that was within your parent’s standards
Choosing whether you wanted to wile away the hours reading a book or watching Royal TV or scribbling some poorly drawn comics of what your life COULD be like were you NOT a princess with an overbearing father

S i g h
You’re hanging upside down on your giant canopy bed in a very unladylike fashion when Felix enters the room. You must have not heard him knock, and he’s like
😳😳💧
To which you “oop-” and quickly throw yourself over in an upright position
“...Sorry you had to see that.”
“It’s fine.” He laughs a bit and closes the door behind him. “So, whatcha up to?”
“......”
Did he have to ask you that? The question sort of burned. What were you supposed to do??? “Just...chillin.”
“Like a villain?”
“In the...millen.”
He laughed at your attempt to carry out the rhyme. “What’s a millen?”
You shrugged. He sat down at the dining table you normally ate at, crossing his feet over the table. “Well, I’ll do you one better. I came to ask if you’d like to accompany me to--”
“WHERE?!?!?!”
\(àČ AàČ )/
You’re right there in his face, shaking his shoulders before he can get another word out.
Felix, wanting to take you OUT OF THE PALACE?!??!?!?!?
THAT WAS HUGE
THIS WAS HUGE
OMGRAVY WHAT WOULD YOU WEAR?!
YOU DIDN’T EVEN CARE WHERE YOU WERE GOING, JUST THE FACT THAT YOU WERE GETTING OUT OF THE HOUSE WAS ENOUGH
...You should still probably let him finish, though
Felix (@-@) <- was dizzy for a moment, but once he got his head back on straight, he explained that he’d ask your father if the two of you could go shopping together-- just for a few hours
Felix was the sweetest brother ;-; the sweetest BOY àČ„_àČ„
You were going to have so much fun browsing the shops that you’d only ever read about in novels and seen on TV
The two of you would get popcorn and ice cream and feed the pigeons and do rain dances around the park fountain
And you’d come back with so many souvenirs and nostalgic timepieces from your little journey (â•„ïčâ•„)
It was going to be the BEST. DAY. EVER!
*insert that Spongebob episode here*



Or not
Because
Shortly after the two of you skipped hand-in-hand like Hansel and Gretel down to the Royal Throne room
Your father gave the two of you a big fat N O
Jerk

His booming voice declared, “NO BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER OF MINE WILL BE SEEN BILLOWING ABOUT THE CITY STREETS!!! That’s like asking to be kidnapped and used as a means of war!!!”
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUASDFGHJKL;;SVBU;IABV;SIFABVIFARHVS
HE DIDN’T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING BUT WAR AND TAXES!!! IT WAS SO ANNOYING!!!
So, the two of you are forced back to your room alone

And Felix comforts you and apologizes a thousand times over, words that should coming out of your father’s mouth instead
~ïżœïżœïżœê•„ê•„~
~LATER THAT DAY~
Well, it’s more like evening now
The sun is setting comfortably over the horizon
And Felix has just returned from his shopping trip without you 😔😔
Now before you get angry and call him a traitor, he actually had a fit and refused to go
He even came close to knocking over a table
But that wouldn’t be very gentlemanly and his mother was present
It was his mother that insisted he had to go in order to make a required public appearance for the kingdom and “hopefully find a lady that spotted his fancy” or whatever
Yeah, Felix rolled his eyes too
But he had no choice ://
If it makes you feel any better, he didn’t enjoy himself at all
He spent the whole time thinking about you and looking wistfully at the palace in the distance, to the tower you were most likely glaring wistfully back from
He was now tromping tired princely feet up the winding steps to at least give you a nice gift he’d brought back for you, and some flowers he’d gotten from a recently opened flower shop called Christopher’s Garden
A very nice not-yet-elderly couple ran the shop in honor of their lost son, who they hadn’t heard from since they returned from war
The story was quite sad and bittersweet



Shhh we’ll get there later it’s called foreshadowingïŒˆâˆ©â€żâˆ©ïŒ‰
He’s about three-quarters of the way there when he’s suddenly ambushed by-- you guessed it-- Team Rocket!1!1
Jk it’s Jisung and Changbin
They’re the new Jessie and James of this story except they’re actually good
“Felix!!!”
“SH*T!!!”
Oop
They nearly gave him a heart attack!!! >A<
He almost beats them with the flowers, too, until he remembers last minute they’re for you
“WHAT DO YOU WANT NEVER DO THAT AGAIN”
“I CAN’T MAKE ANY PROMISES BUT WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING”
“WHAT IS IT”
Changbin sighs in his heavy, overzealous knightly gear. “Maybe the two of you can keep it down before you wake the princess?”
Felix shrugs. “Eh, Y/n is always up at this hour. She’s actually a night owl, but don’t tell the king that. Or her teachers.”
Bin smirks. “Noted--”
<_<
Felix has to smack him, which is a hard two second decision but you’re his sister and family comes first 😔😔 But he makes it up by giving Bin a flower, which he awkwardly accepts
“So what was it you wanted to tell me?”
Jisung nods his jingle bell hat all over the place like a bobblehead. “Yeah, okay, so-- check this out!”
He jumps a few steps ahead so he can have room to put on a one-man show. Changbin groans and crosses his arms, while Felix eyes him curiously
“I have this friend, right? Well, we do, actually! Me and Changbin!”
The Dark Knight tilts his head. “You mean Chan?”
“YEA-- I mean, yeah!” He starts bouncing around, mining walking around the garden surrounding the palace walls. “So...I never told you this, but a few years ago...more like seven, I was going for a walk when I spotted him outside the princess’ tower! And I stopped and went ten-thousand stealth mode!”
He mimes diving into the bushes. Changbin rolls his eyes.
“He’d totally fallen asleep in the rose bushes, so I--”
“Could you maybe not talk like you’re twelve?”
“......”
Before the two can start quarreling like a couple of twelve year olds, Felix takes on a responsible air, stepping between them
“Hang on...your friend? Was loitering outside my sister’s room?”
Jisung pops his head over Changbin, which really isn’t that hard. “Yeah, he’s the royal gardener! But like, I don’t think the roses needed tending to that day...and after I revealed myself, he was asking a LOT-- well a few...questions about her. Hint hint, my boy’s in love.”
“Love?”
“Love, bro. Like the real sappy stuff.”
“...Love.”
“...Yes.”
“Your friend. Is in love with my sister.”
“...That would be what I just told you, yes.”
“...Wait. Chan as in, Bang Chan? ...OUR friend Chan?!”
“That’s him!”
“Okay okay hold on,” Changbin waves his arms through the air. “Love is a strong word...and this is Chan we’re talking about. He loves just about everybody. He’s nice and empathetic to everyone. Just last week I had to turn away two maids and a palace chef who’d gotten the same mixed signals.”
Jisung shrugs. “Yeah, well
”
“Also this was seven years ago?!”
“...Yeah
”
Changbin deadpans. “So you got me all hyped about jumping Felix for some love story that probably isn’t even real. Seven years is a long time, Jisung. He may have forgotten about her already-- NOT THAT SHE’S SOMEONE TO BE FORGOTTEN.”
He had to finish that last sentence real quick from the look Felix was giving him. The boy sighs, shifting his gifts into one arm so he can run a small hand through his wind-blown hair. “...This is kind of crazy Jisung, even for you. Why are you bringing this up now of all times?”
“...Well
”
👉👈
“I overheard a royal meeting I shouldn’t have about an hour ago...and your dad was talking about having Y/n engaged.”
“What?!?”
“To the Fire Nation king.”
“WHAT?!?!”
“People often refer to him as Zuko, for reasons unknown, but his real name is Minho.”
“.........”
With fever and a newfound energy, Felix tries bursting up the steps to your room. But unfortunately, Team Rocket stops him.
“MOVE! I have to talk to Y/n about this!!!”
“Hang on! The whole reason I brought up my homeboy in the first place was to maybe stop this suspiciously dangerous and shady deal! If Y/n has already fallen in love with someone else, maybe the king will have a change of heart!!!”
Felix groans, glaring harshly in a manner that isn’t really like him. “Han, her father keeps her locked away in a plush-tailored dungeon and refuses to let her go outside, not even on a short shopping trip with her own brother. He doesn’t want her to be seen, and he certainly doesn’t want her falling in love.”
“Well--!” Han balls his hands into fists. “I WAS TRYING OKAY?! I LIKE Y/N TOO, SHE’S A TIMEPIECE GAL WHEN I’M ACTUALLY ALLOWED TO BE WITHIN TEN FEET OF HER!!!”
“Dang
” Changbin groans. “So you don’t think I’ll be able to ask her out this weekend?”
“......” “......”
The glare he gets from both men is a definite no
~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
So what are we to do about a situation like this?
Well I’m glad you asked because we’re about to find out
IRONICALLY right at that moment, you were supposed to be in a late-running math session on how taxing the economy works but 
Instead you were blissfully hidden in the closet, watching Chan plant a newly discovered breed of roses on your balcony the author forgot to mention you even had
It was an indoor balcony of sorts; fenced in with mesh and curtains to keep the bugs and trespassers out
There was a cute little garden table with comfy chairs and a small bookshelf
As well as a mini bar and even a small stereo system B))
You’re the princess sis
This was your world since you weren’t allowed to experience the real one
To explain, you had a window right next to it that you often looked out, since your balcony was more or less closed off

Hopefully that makes sense ._.”
Alright anyhoo
So Chan is planting some gorgeous purple roses that only ever existed in Animal Crossing until now
The most lusciously soft and purpley purple that ever was and ever would be
And here’s you, hunkered down in the closet like a stalker spying on him with one eye and a slit through the cracked door
 WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN
Bang!
The door flies open!
A wild Felix appears!1!1
Uh-oh
He’s probably looking for you, but given the equally wild look on his face
He’s probably not aware of Chan’s job, coming in to tend to your plants when you’re scheduled to be absent
Wait they’re friends right
So he isn’t gonna kill him...right?!
Or does this mean he was gonna kill him that much more?!
OH NO
FELIX NO PLS
You’re holding your breath and waiting for the right moment to pounce and topple your half-brother to the floor when apprehensively
He checks his surroundings quickly before shutting the door behind him



What the what is this about--
“We need to talk,” Felix starts, pacing to the dining table where he usually sits. Chan freezes, blinking a few times into the roses and the air above them before turning a blank stare the prince’s way.
“Okay,” he states back, “what’s on your mind?”
“About Y/n
”
About you?
“Princess Y/n? What about?”
Yes, what about you?
“...Jisung
” he sighs. “Look, I know it’s been a while since we’ve talked. Let me start by apologizing about that.”
“Oh, no need to apologize. You’re the prince, and I’m the gardener. We’re both quite busy with our—“
“Jisung told me you like Y/n.”















I’m s o r r y
WhAT WAS THAT
WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?!
Okay okay hold up
Han Jisung was the court clown and notorious for pranks and lying his ass off
Surely this was just a (albeit cruel) joke

...Right?!


Bang Chan’s ears are turning red
Redder than the roses outside your window
He’s biting his lip, like he wants to say something, but is trying hard to suppress said something
His hands are clenched down into the dirt

“...Well?” asks Felix. “Is it true?”
“...It’s
”
!!!
WHAT WHAT IT’S WHAT
TELL ME FLOWER BOY WHAT IS IT
SPILL THE BEANS ALREADY
Haha get it

Beans


Like seeds

..
...Anyway
“......”
He nods, softly, barely. Bang Chan nods his approval at Felix’s proposed statement.
Is this even real right now
?
Is this allowed?! đŸ˜©
Instead of jumping the guy like you thought he would, Felix instead smiles, so brightly it would be enough to scare off the Fire Nation and save thousands of lives
“Oh wow. Oh f*ck. You like my sister. This is...shouldn’t I be mad right now?”
He begins to pace
“...But I’m not. I’m genuinely okay with this. Better than okay. It’s...weird.”
“Probably because Y/n may be saved from marrying Prince Hellhole of the Underworld now.”
The two of them (and you still in the closet) jump at the sound of a new voice wafting in from the ceiling. Looking up, a set of bells can be seen hanging out if the air vent
...Has that always been there?!
Oh my gravy what if Han Jisung has spied on you before
What if someone else has?!
EW
Felix scowls angrily at the vent before lifting a pen off your desk and throwing it with surprisingly good accuracy
It must have hit something because next thing you know Jisung is saying “ow!” and climbing down at the Prince’s demand
“What the hell were you doing up there?!”
“Detective work.”
“You’re banned from doing detective work anywhere near this room.”
“What about Changbin?”
“What?!”
“Oh uhhh...nothing.”
The clanking of heavy armor trying to escape travels across the ceiling

And Felix huffs.
“CHANGBIN I KNOW THAT’S YOU.”
~~~
So I’m gonna do a mini skip right here to get the ball rolling
After Bin is dragged down and everyone (minus you) is accounted for
The four guys are sitting around your dining table, a sinister(?) plot coming to notion
“Okay,” Felix begins, “So what we know is, according to what Jisung overheard, this arms race war of sorts against the Fire Nation is coming to a rock and a hard place for both sides. And to resolve this issue, it would appear that Y/n is being offered as a bargaining chip. A wedding to unite the two kingdoms.”


 
Everyone is pretty silent
You included, not that you can say anything at the moment

But just because you’re silent on the outside doesn’t mean you don’t have a million thoughts racing through your head
Let’s get to the most pressing one that’d likely catch your attention first: MARRIAGE?!?!
With whom?!?!
How dare some old geezers try and pawn you off without your permission?! To the enemy?!? To a man you didn’t even know?!?!
WHAT IF HE WAS REALLY OLD
OR GROSS
OR BOTH
OR WHAT IF--
Han suddenly has something to say
Then again when does the boy not
He lunges across the table to grasp at Chan’s hands. “PLEASE, YOU HAVE TO MARRY THE PRINCESS SO SHE WON’T BE SENT AWAY AND I CAN STOP AWKWARDLY CATCHING YOU SPYING ON HER OUTSIDE!!!”
!!!
OH UH
WHA?!
Chan’s ears are turning red again. He’s got a brow quirked like he doesn’t know what Jisung is talking about, but averts his gaze all the same in a guilty manner
Felix is tapping his fingers against his forearm in an attempt to ignore that confession
And Changbin is just sitting next to Chan half confused and half annoyed
“I- I can’t just
 Jisung what you’re asking is
”
“It’s too much,” Bin cuts in. “Jisung you can’t just ask someone, much less tell them, to marry a person they have a far-longing crush on, but really know nothing about. They’ve never even spoken to each other before, I can assume, and you’re telling them to spend the rest of their lives in a commitment? That’s intense.”
Jisung pouts. “Yeah, but
!”
“What if we just faked a marriage?”
Three stunned faces (four if we’re counting you) turn eyes upon the eldest and only prince. He smiles warmly, sending a warily comforting shiver down your spine that you have trouble placing as good or bad.
“What do you mean?” Changbin asks.
“I doubt the king is going to accept Y/n’s wishes in all of this, so we can’t just have her or Chan ask to be wed. But if they’re already married
”
Jisung’s face lights up. “Then there’s nothing the king or Fire Nation fools can do about it!!! That’s BRILLIA--”
“But it would just be a ruse. We’ll have a fake license made, and I can supply the rings. I’ve got plenty of underground connections~”
You’re looking at Chan’s face to see what he thinks of all this, but unfortunately his back is to you, and Changbin is blocking 90% of your view

You can, however, see that his ears are still a flushed scarlet, as well as the base of his neck
“Would you be okay with that?”
He jumps. Felix and the others blink expectantly. 
“...Huh?”
“...Are you okay with being my sister’s fake husband for a few hours?”
It’s gotta be the awkwardest question you’ve ever heard coming out of your brother’s mouth, but then

“Yeah. If it’ll protect Y/n...let’s do it.”



It’s the first time you’ve heard him not refer to you as the princess, but rather, just yourself
~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
OKAY WE’RE GONNA TRY AND START CRAMMING THINGS WITHOUT CRAMMING TOO MUCH BECAUSE HNNNNN I DON’T WANT THIS TO BE TOO LONG AND DRAWN OUT àČ„_àČ„
SO ON THAT NOTE
Meanwhile in a diabolical castle not too far away but still kinda far 
(ͥ° ͜ʖ ͥ°)⊃━━☆.*ïœ„ïœĄïŸŸ
We’ve got an evil firelord named Zuko over here
But he’s not really evil :(( In fact he’s not evil at all!!!
His name isn’t even Zuko it’s Minho
And he’s just kinda mean is all

Just a smidge | |
“My Lord Zuko!!!” An attendant bows, groveling at the steps to the throne
He’s some weird guy with an eyepatch
Not important but  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Fire King growls, swirling a glass of something strong
“I told you that’s not my name,” he states, tossing the glass after a single gulp. Dang. Intense.
The attendant :((, covering his face like a scared manchild. “PLEASE FORGIVE ME YOUR GRACE!!!”
Minho rolls his eyes. “If I do, will you man up and give me the details on the Nation of (Your Kingdom Name Here)?”
“Oh, yes, yes! Thank you, sire!!!”
“...S u r e.” He blinks a few times, only sparing the slightest hint of a smile when one of the three cats wandering the kingdom jumps onto his lap. “Well? Get on with it.”
“Yes, sire, right away!” Patchy pulls out an enormously large scroll that should NOT have been able to fit in his pocket similar to the mechanics of Animal Crossing (seriously how is it you’re able to fit a giant whale into your pocket and like a freaking tarantula and a hive of wasps like idk about you sis but I would NOT be putting those things in my pocket-) “It would appear that the Princess of (Nation) has given her consent to marry His Royal Highness of the Tallest Order Fire Nation King Zu-- ...L-Lee Minho of the Tallest Order of the Nation of Fire and All Things Cat Related.”
Minho is nodding, a pleasant smirk on his face. Things were just going swimmingly for him. “Perfect. Just as I thought they would. Seungmin? Jeongin?”
From the shadows, two boys stepped forward. “Yes, Your Grace?”
“Please plan my arrival to the Nation of (Your Nation) at once. I’d like to arrive no later than the end of the week.”
“...Sire, with all due respect
” Seungmin swallows. “That’s in two days. Normally, I’d have to send a carrier pigeon to customs since you banned technology after that one disapproving cat commercial, and as you know, your cats are constantly eating both the birds and the notes
”
“......”
“......”
Minho shrugs. “And? So? Just write a new note and buy more birds. There’s no time to waste!”
Seungmin and Jeongin share a look. Arguing against the King would be suicide, so

“...Yes, Your Unreasonable Grace.”
“Grea-- wait what?”
Comically, they both vanish before any more words can be said.
~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
Moving right along here
That night, after the sun has fully set and you’re getting ready to tuck yourself into bed
There’s a strange sound coming from the window

. . .
Creepy but probably nothing
It’s just the wind, right?
You choose to ignore it and continue organizing the pillows (and dolls?) on your bed in a fashion that suits your fancy when
Tap Tap Tap
. . .
It’s either an incredible coincidence that wind can tap in such a rhythmic fashion, and not so sporadically, or

There’s someone at the window
...No, really
SOMEONE IS OUTSIDE SIS
THERE’S A FREAKY LOOKIN’ SHADOW RIGHT THERE
On the twelfth floor tho?!


Should you answer it
Survey says no
Are you going to?
The stars say yes
BUT FIRST WE MUST ARM OURSELVES BC WE AREN’T TOTAL DUMDUMS đŸ˜©
You grab an ornate candlestick from your nightstand and start heading that way
Slowly, carefully, one foot at a time
The closer you get, the more prominent the shadow outside the window becomes

It almost looks kinda like

...A tumbleweed? A scarecrow???



 
You’re scared
SOMEONE COMING THIS HIGH MUST BE SKILLED AND DETERMINED AND HAS TO KNOW IT’S YOU OR MAYBE IT’S A THIEF THAT--
“Princess? Princess Y/n?”
!!!
Gasp you know that voice
It’s
 

Without a moment to lose you ditch the candlestick and unlock the hinges, tossing the windows open to

Watch your beloved

...Almost fall and crack his head open ._.”
Chan is laughing nervously hanging onto the windowsill with a faint pink mark on his cheek from where the window popped him
You cry out nervously and with an effort on both parts, manage to hoist him inside
Where he clichely falls on top of you 🌚🌚 Teehee đŸ„Ž
You can feel the heat rising to your face and swirling around your head that’s already been spinning with thoughts for a while now
And Chan, catching his breath over you, practically mirrors that reaction
I Am You
I see me in you--
Okay sorry
Chan laughs the whole thing off and rolls himself off like Nishinoya performing his famous Rolling Thunder, and helps you up while profusely asking if you’re alright, if you need to sit down, you should probably sit down, oh I’m so sorry Felix told me you stayed up late so--
Ah wait
“He told you that? When?”
You’re now sitting on the side of your bed, and Chan is standing a few feet away with windblown hair that could easily be mistaken for a tumbleweed through the dead of night
The fact that you’re staring at it makes him a little self conscious, but really you were just thinking about how cute he looks
“Uh, he told me a few hours ago. We were just...chatting, and um
”



He cuts himself off and sighs into his hands
“I’m so sorry. You probably don’t even know who I am.”
“I do.”
“You do?”
“I do.” You smile. “You’re the gardener. Your name is
” You blush. “Christopher Bang. You take care of the roses at the base of the tower and you planted the purple ones on my balcony today. You’re also a friend of my brother’s.”
“Wow, okay yeah.” He smiles back. Seeing him smiling at you while acknowledging the other, the faint flicker of candlelight (Felix broke your lamp during a karate stunt to make you laugh)...it’s almost too much to handle. “That would sort of explain why you let an absolute stranger into your bedroom at night.”




Oop
He had a point there
Blame the author sis she’s got three other WIPs rn and wanted to get this done while doing a semi-decent job (ïœĄâ€ąÌïžżâ€ąÌ€ïœĄ)💧
“I-I just...have a strong sense of adventure,” you lied. Kinda. Reality was, you really WERE longing for a chance to explore and have just a little excitement in your life instead of the same boring gray stone walls each and every day
Lucky for you, that’s exactly what Chan was here for
The next thing you see is his hand in your face (a still-respectable distance away), offering you quite the gentlemanly smile. He managed to fix that windblown hair of his in the seconds you spent spaced out over your longing to leave this place
“Come on. I actually came here to ask if you’d like to go somewhere with me.”
~~~
A little disclosure here
Normally, you should never, EVER let someone you don’t really know into your home (much less your bedroom) late at night, and you certainly should not agree to go somewhere with them
This is just common knowledge, I know
But, for crack, time, and in the spirit of classic fairytales, I’m going to allow it to happen :)))
~~~
AND SO, Y/n chooses to defy common sense, and takes the hand of the boy she really likes (▰˘◡˘▰)
~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
To make things slightly less weird and insanely unnatural, Chan gives you a note from Felix. It’s got his secret seal of approval that he only uses when addressing letters to you, one that only the two of you know about, so it’s gotta be legit and valid
🙄🙄
Just pretend it makes things A LITTLE bit better for me, okay?
“Author do you know how illogical this all is and that, like, ANYONE could figure out--”
YEAH OKAY JUST GO WITH IT PLS đŸ˜©đŸ˜©

...Well, there you had it
Now, onto the date! 

WAIT DID THIS COUNT AS A DATE?!
uHHHHHH
àČ„_àČ„ 💧
IDK SIS JUST GO WITH IT FOR NOW, GO GO GO!
Chan is about to take your hand and wisk you out the window like Rapunzel or some Romeo and Juliet au (hey btw??? That ain’t a bad idea someone request this from me)
He nearly forgets about the height difference and the fact that he don’t have any rope or long flowing locks to grab onto to :D so instead the two of you opt for an idea that comes to you after nearly tearing your room apart to look for rope:
THE AIR VENT!!!
You have to move some furniture around but it’s not like anyone is gonna come into your room or find out about you missing anyway
Reader: “Chan came into my room tho--”
SHHHHH THAT’S DIFFERENT IT’S CALLED PLOT CONTINUATION
Now
After getting lost for approximately ten minutes in the winding air ducts, Chan manages to get his poor sleep deprived brain together and leads you down the right path, coming to a purifying viel(?) he knocks out of the way to kick the door open to outside
AND THEN
IT’S THE MOST GLORIOUS AND MAGICAL THING
IT’S
 ぀ïčâ•°ïŒ‰
SIS IT’S OUTSIDE
IT’S THE OUTSIDE WORLD
YOU DID IT--



You can’t do it
Chan jumps out easily onto the grass to some East side of the palace, but you just sit there, hunkered down in the opening space of the vent
Just staring at it
The grass
The trees
The tumbleweed that is Chan’s hair blow by
It’s almost too much

Your body won’t move. You’ve been locked away in the palace for so long now...something inside of you is telling you it’s morally wrong to change that now.
“Hey wait author I have a question”
I’m kinda in the middle of telling a semi-deep part of the story but okay sure
“If Chan and I were on the twelfth floor how is it that we made it to the--”
SHHHHH AGAIN JUST HUMOR ME AND DON’T OVERTHINK THINGS
Chan is watching you with some sort of softness in his eyes illuminated by starlight. He holds his hands out to you.
“It’s okay. If you need me to, I can carry you for as long as I’m able.”


But you refuse
You need to cross this bridge
And then you need to burn it đŸ”„
NO GOING BACK SIS
NO GOING BACK đŸ˜€đŸ˜€
...Except you’re always open for an excuse to be close to Chan so đŸ€Ș💓
You jump in his arms without much of a second thought, and without thinking he spins you around, and a moment later
Both of your slippered feet hit the ground below
Soft earth enveloping your heels
Blades of grass tickling your skin
It’s so WEIRD BUT
It’s a good kind of weird
A kind of weird you’d love to get used to
Hand in hand the two of you slip off after that, out into that starry starry night that looks like a Van Gogh painting
It’s beautiful and blurred yet sharp and soft yet bright and you feel like queen of the world as you’re running through Central Park, riding on Chan’s shoulders
Dancing around the center fountain
Nearly blowing your cover when a racoon runs by
It’d be kinda bad if someone saw you, much less recognized who you were 😅
The two of you lay on the hillside, where Chan makes up stories about the stars and you smile at the sound of his voice, and the feeling of wildflowers against your cheek
You’re so enthralled that you scarcely notice when his voice trails off as he’s watching you, admiring your beauty as he often has in days gone by, only this time it’s up close and nearly surreal
The girl of his dreams lying in a bed of flowers
Not palace-tainted ones either -> wildflowers, flowers that are free to billow any way the wind takes them
And the moonlight casting perfectly angular shadows over your body
He has to get a hold of himself and tear himself away with a sharp breath



But he’s adding the image to a memory in his heart, that’s for sure
He takes a moment to mull over it a few more times before dusting himself off, standing, and reaching out to you. Something you also want to get used to other than being in the Great Outdoors. “Come on,” he says, “We’ve almost used up all our time, and I haven’t even been able to show you the town yet.”
SHOPPING~! (っ◔◡◔)っ ♄
...Ah wait it was night time 😔 You’d have to settle for just seeing the sights and playing pretend
“We’re gonna do something called window shopping.”
“Window shopping?” You ask, taking your first steps down main street. “What’s that?”
Surprisingly, there were a few stragglers still out and about at this hour, so you had to keep your head down and wander as seamlessly as possible off to the side of the road.
“Window shopping is when you wander around a shopping district just to look at the stuff on display. You shop with your eyes and pick out things you like.”
That sounded kinda fun
Of course anything with Chan sounded like a good time to you (♄‿♄)
And so, still hand in hand, the two of you quietly walked the cobblestone streets, examining clothes and trinkets in the large glass windows of stores and commenting lightly on things you liked/disliked
And, over a short span of time, you felt a gentle shift as Chan entwined his fingers with yours
ÆȘ(˘⌣˘)┐ ÆȘ(˘⌣˘)ʃ ┌(˘⌣˘)ʃ
You wander the streets for a while longer, taking a left here, a right there, when after pacing a little ways down a side street connecting to a sleepy neighborhood, Chan stops quite abruptly
His arms and posture is rigid af, so it almost yanks you back a bit, and a little startled you look up to see what it is he’s gawking at


It’s a flower shop
And the big sign across the roof’s edge says, “Christopher’s Garden”
~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
Christopher’s Garden was the name Chan’s parents had wanted to name the flower shop the two of them had dreamed of opening together
Chan knows this because of the letters he’d receive at the orphanage during the war
The last letter he received was when he was eleven years old; a simple “hello we miss you” update with a miniature bouquet of pressed wildflowers
Flowers he still kept in his small room at the palace, tapped to the inside of the box where all his letters are stored
Faintly, he reaches out towards the sign, like it’s the only thing around him; suddenly there is no village, no night time, and there almost isn’t a Y/n either
Not that you aren’t important

He just simply can’t believe that



This couldn’t be real, it had to be a coincidence
A cruel one, but still
A coincidence nonetheless
And he’d continue to think that had he not lowered his hand, and found the face of an older man staring back at him
A man with burn marks on his cheeks and the scars of war apparent in both his features and his eyes
He has to grip the doorway to keep himself from falling backward
For it may have been many years, but he could never forget the face of his own son; not even after time had aged him
The parental spark was just there, a father’s intuition


 
As if seeming to understand, Y/n lets him go
She retreats stage left, one, two paces
And watches with heartfelt joy as the two men embrace somberly beneath the moonlight.
~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
You wanted to stay and watch
You really really did
You wanted to be that support beam for Chan, but
In a way, you also didn’t want to intrude on such an important family moment
...And you were more or less due back at midnight 🙄 Cinderella much?
You’re racing along the alleyways right now
Slippers puffing a muffled breath with each step along the pavement
Buildings casting shadows and jagged shapes of light along the way
A random cloth you borrowed from behind a grocery masking your head
You found it lying over some crates of produce; and you may or may not have borrowed a few plums for the road, too

...You’d have someone pay them back with interest đŸ€·
You probably should have told Chan you were heading back, but
He needed his family, right?
This was really important to him, you could tell he obviously hadn’t seen his dad, uncle, or whoever that man was back there in a while
You could catch him up later, right?
He’d probably spend the night there and be back by morning or mid-afternoon
You’re just now reaching a fork in the road
You could keep going straight or make a slanted right venturing toward the front gate, which connects the pastures of hills (making up Central Park) to the palace



It would probably be better to stick the backways, but you didn’t know the area that well

If you went back into civilization, although it was after curfew and despite your disguise, someone may still spot you
What to do what to do what to--
“So you’re the Princess of (Kingdom Name).”
!!!
Did
Did someone just--
ARE THEY TALKING TO YOU?!?
RUN?!
DO WE RUN ...
“You don’t have to be frightened.” the voice says, stepping closer. “I’m here to take you home.”


...
ïżœïżœïżœđŸš©đŸš©
:)))))))) 
Yes okay now we RUN đŸƒâ€â™€ïžđŸƒâ€â™€ïžđŸ’š
You make a break for it down the straight path, letting your veil fly away from your body and temporarily blind whoever’s following you
You also make good use of those plums you stole, tossing them like bombs over your shoulder
“Argh--! Dang it, sh*t, I can’t sEE--” Your pursuers flail about before shredding the cloth to bits, whipping the fruit off their faces. “AFTER HER!!!”
!!!!!!
DID HE JUST SAY--?!
HHHHHHHHHHHH
The sound of heavy metal clanging against cobblestone bounces off the space behind you as you’re pounding, scrambling, flinging yourself in a zigzag pattern in case someone is trying to snipe you
IT’S WHAT ALL THE RIDICULOUS HEROES IN MOVIES DO, OKAY?!
IT’S MORE OR LESS EFFECTIVE
But alas there are so many boxes and wheelbarrows and junk in the way...
MOVE FASTER YOU CAN HEAR THEM GAINING ON YOU
But wait who even is “them” anyway???
Do you even need to know?! It was probably some councilman your stepmother or  father pissed off
You’d seen it all on TV and read plenty of horror stories in books to know there were endless reasons why someone would be targeting you for vengeance
...And, also




Blast it all
You could hear your father’s voice echoing:
“NO BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER OF MINE WILL BE SEEN BILLOWING ABOUT THE CITY STREETS!!! That’s like asking to be kidnapped and used as a means of war!!!”
“A means of war!!!”
“A means of war!!!”













...g u l p 
àČ„_àČ„
YOU JUST WANTED TO HAVE A GOOD TIME OKAY
THAT’S ALL
GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN đŸ˜©đŸ˜©
HE SHOULD TRY SITTING ON HIS ASS DAY IN AND DAY OUT IT’S MIND-NUMBINGLY BORING đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„
But boy were you getting your fill of excitement now
If you could just make it back to the palace, maybe you could use this as an excuse
Say you were kidnapped and made a grand escape
...It wasn’t a TOTAL lie

“Oh Princess~ Princess Y/n, slow down, won’t you please?!”
LIBSDIBVISAFBILSFIL
NOT ON YOUR LIFE BUDDY đŸƒâ€â™€ïžđŸƒâ€â™€ïžđŸ’š
WE AIN’T ABOUT TO DIE
GOTTA
HURRYYYYYYY
~ t r i p ! ~
Oh-- ...
THUD
Owowowowow
 (ïœĄ>ïžż<ïœĄ)💧



















àČ _àČ 
You slowly look up to the enemy
(ͥ° ͜ʖ ͥ°) ❀ “Guess who? ...Oh, wait, we’ve never met before.”






..
Crap.
~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
The plan was going to be very simple: swoop in, rescue the princess, and take her back home to appease to the King and speed up the royal wedding of the century
Unfortunately, nothing was ever simple in the Fire Nation
That and, well, Minho had spies everywhere
He’d seen your photograph
He knew what you looked like
And when one of his minion’s squeaked saying they spotted a certain soon-to-be-and-technically-already-so engaged princess and coming-soon queen of the Fire Nation running around after hours with another man, well
He just couldn’t have that
It simply wasn’t allowed
The king had promised him your hand
And that’s exactly what he was going to get
“Tie her wrists tighter. Yes. Now a little closer to the left
”
He smiles at you from inside the back of the carriage. He was about to make this go his way faster than he could have hoped for.
He leans forward, now dressed in some ridiculous royal garb festive with plated armor and flapping ribbons, patting your knee with smooth-lined fingers that shouldn’t belong to someone ruling the Fire Nation. And he knows this, too. He was and still is the youngest king to ever hold the throne. “Don’t worry, Princess, I simply wish to escort you home. This is, however, a pleasant time for us to get acquainted. Since I will become your husband in the next twenty-four to forty-eight hours.”
To this, the Princess of (Your Castle) makes some sort of a scoffing remark beneath her cloth-covered mouth and fidgets herself away, as far back against the plush carriage interior as she can. Even beneath the pale moonlight and faint swaying torchlight outside, bobbing in the hands of soldiers, he can see the scowl of disapproval and hatred on her face.
That would have to change real’ fast. No way he was tolerating a disobedient bride for long.
A rapping comes from outside the window. Carefully, Minho opens the small glass door, pulling the curtain aside along with it. “What is it?”
Seungmin’s face appears in the open space. “We may have a problem. Two, actually.”
“Yes, yes, what are they?”
His first attendant licks his lips nervously. “Well for starters, Jeongin is going to have a mental breakdown if Doongi scratches his face one more time. Your pets--”
“My family.”
“...Your family is getting antsy being cooped up in the carriage for so long.”
A hissing can be heard in the distance, followed by Jeongin’s muffled scream. Minho sighs.
“Fine, Fine
” He glances tentatively at his soon-to-be bride. “We’ll stop at the next fork in the road and switch passengers. I will ride with the children and Jeongin can accompany Princess Y/n until we arrive.” 
“Very good, Your Majesty.”
Minho makes a face, suddenly. “...It shouldn’t be long now, yes?” ((After all, you and Chan did WALK into town.)) “What’s taking so long? How much farther?”
Seungmin looks a bit grave. “...That’s...the other thing I wished to speak to you about.”
“???”
~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
You can hear the shouting from your new location inside a smaller (yet still quite plush and fancy) carriage that’s covered in cat fur...and a pitiful attendant with a bloodied face
“So we’ve been traveling in circles this whole TIME?!?!”
Oof
That kind of anger didn’t bode well for whoever’s plan this was
“Ahh
we’re so sorry, Your Majesty! But the guard won’t let us through! They refused to take us seriously when we proclaimed to be the Fire Nation escorting the Princess home
”
The Fire King let out a groan.
You zoom your attention on the boy before you, holding a dampened cloth of alcohol to his face and hissing as it makes contact with several wounds. Poor guy is young, and he couldn’t be too much younger than you. Give or take three to four years.
“M-mm-m, mm mm-mm mm m.”
He looks at you like you’re speaking in tongues. Which, quite frankly, you may as well be. “...What?”
“Mm mmm, m-mm-m, mm mm-mm mm m!”
“.........”
Peering left and then right, he makes sure both curtains are closed before leaning forward and pulling down the cloth over your face. You cough a bit, spitting out pieces of string and fabric and the dry taste in your mouth. “...”
“......” Jeongin seems to be admiring you in a new sort of light. It’s a bit weird, but flattering. “Um, what was it that you tried to say?”
You look him dead in the eye, which is somewhat hard to do, but your anger helps you manage. Jeongin winces backward, something twitching in his mind. “I said, if I were you, I would blow this joint.”
“.........” Jeongin glances down at his shoes, staring hard at the laces. He seems to be taking your words quite seriously, though you’d half meant them as a joke. “...I’m in no position to do such a thing. Just thinking about it is treason.”
“Treason? For having thoughts? You don’t have any mind readers in your country, do you?”
Slowly, he shakes his head no. It was kinda cute how seriously he was taking your words...and a bit sad, too. “No, we don’t dwell in psychics or anything supernatural. But the author of this story has been kinda thinking about making a supernatural au for some time now--”
“Huh?”
“Hmm?”
“.........”
A rapping comes at the carriage door. Jeongin acknowledges it with a nod. “...Never mind.” He opens the window. There, again, was Seungmin’s floating head alongside a ball of fire.
“His Majesty Pain-in-the-Ass is being difficult again. Imagine that. He wants us to make camp and then plans on playing the martyr card come tomorrow morning.”
“...He expects us to camp out in the woods?”
“That’s the order.”
Jeongin groans. He leans back in his seat, tossing the rag down in frustration. “...Maybe I really should consider running away
are you hiring, by chance?”
It was meant to be a joke. But you take it all too seriously.
“Why, yes, actually, I am.” :))))))))))
“....................”
~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
And so that is how you have now ended up here
In front of a roaring fire
All comfy cozy in the new fleece pajamas Jeongin and Seungmin sewed for you out of one of Minho’s extra capes and some “spare” fabrics
Sipping some freshly pressed apple juice and flipping through King Minho’s edition of Royalty Daily
Seungmin, to your left, is fashioning you a new pair of slippers that you can wear both indoors and out and will feel as if you never stepped out of bed
And Jeongin, to your right, slowly moving an electric fan around your face, in a pleasant manner that wasn’t at all distracting
It was glorious, really Ù©(˘◡˘)Û¶
You never imagined being so relaxed in an enemy camp held hostage, even if you were a Princess

...The only thing sour was the sour look of King Minho brooding at the other side of the fire.
“What is the meaning of this?” he hisses, eyes flitting back and forth between his two former attendants and you in-between. “Why aren’t the two of you doing your normal duties?”
“We are doing our normal duties,” Seungmin explains, snipping the thread he was working with.
“No, you’re not.”
“Yes, we are.”
“Are you defying me right now?!”
Minnie scoffs. “Defying? You? Wouldn’t dream of it, Sire.”
“......” Minho dramatically rose from his seat, snatching a slipper off the boy’s lap. “Then what is the meaning of this,” he demands, shaking it about. You notice from a new angle of lighting the cute white polka dots patterned along dark pink fabric. Adorable. “Why are you...restyling my slippers?!”
Seungmin gives a reputable glare, snatching the slipper right back in the sassiest way possible, and dusts it carefully, as if it were tainted by the mere touch of another. “These are not for you, dear King. They are for My Lady, Princess Y/n.”
O-O
Now surely you can imagine, the look on Minho’s face is not a good one. “They’re
 They
 Y-Your whAT?!?!”
“SHHHHHHH!!!” Jeongin chimes. “Lord Zuko, you must keep your voice down! The Princess is trying to read, and she has sensitive hearing!” >:((
“.........”
(âœżïž¶â€żïž¶)
*Sluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurp*
You sip that apple juice like it’s the sweetest tonic out there
And Minho, stunned, can only watch...until he throws down his foot and starts having an unroyaly absurd hissy fit
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR PRINCESS?! SHE’S MY BRIDE, AND THE HOSTAGE!!! And what do you think the two of you are doing?! What are you saying?!? Have you...are you telling me you switched sides?!?!”
“Well
”
“We aren’t telling you, we were hoping you’d get the memo by watching.”
!? “ARRRGH!!!”
._____.
The three of you watch with second-hand embarrassment, along with a couple of nearby guards, until
The King has to pause mid-fit
For a rustling in the bushes pulls his attention aside-- along with the others.
Minho seems to gain his composure surprisingly quickly. With serious glint in his eyes, he pulls his sword, in unison with the surrounding army he’d brought.
Behind you, Jeongin respectfully pulls you close, Seungmin brandishing his own blade and standing protectively before you.
You’re confused, almost, at how high the tension had magically become
You can feel Jeongin’s heartbeat against you back, and the silence amid the rustle is deafening
A single bead of sweat rolls down your neck

And then evaporates when a field mouse screeches at the glinting of sharp metal objects and flees. 🗿💧
“Oh...false alarm
” the Fire King sighs. His army groans, reupholstering their swords and spears
And then jump in surprise at the ambush that comes after
~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
I know we’re đŸƒâ€â™€ïžđŸƒâ€â™€ïžđŸƒâ€â™€ïž flying through this story kinda fast now but just hang tight
Cause a few familiar faces had come to save the day B))
Familiar faces known as Sir Changbin, Newly-awarded Knight Jisung, and brother who loved you a little too much, Felix
The way your brother’s sword clashed with Minho’s as your new attendants hurried you into the awaiting cart was a sight to behold
And you could still hear the screams of startled men even now :(((
Luckily Felix held a philosophy unlike your father to not cause any permanent damage at all costs, so no casualties occurred; just a lot of smoke-bombing and a few cuts and bruises
Then there was Jisung, who had to hang on to the roof bc he went flying during the ambush and landed in a tree and there just wasn’t enough time to get him inside so Changbin had to snap a branch and let him fall on top...but
You know
No casualties :))))
“Are you okay?!?!” Felix is demanding, checking you face, your neck, your hands. You sigh and shake your head, which at first he takes as a no and has a small panic attack but you give him a little shove followed by a hug
“I’m fine. I’m sorry I was gone for so long...but thank you for saving me.” <3
Felix hugs you back, though a grim look resides on his face. “I’m gonna have a serious talk with Chan. I can’t believe he just left you out in the city-- or the forest-- to find your own way home in the dead of night when you’ve scarcely left the palace before!”
!!!
You jump back, startling him a bit. “Chan didn’t leave me! Please...don’t be mad at him.”
“Wha?” He lists his head. “Then what happened?”
“......” Oops. “I...I left him. I thought I could make it back on my own.”
His arms cross. “And what the heck made you think that?”
>:((((((((
At this, you almost felt a sense of defiance. Almost.
Felix didn’t think you could make it on your own?! You?!? A twenty-something year old young woman?!?!?
...Well he was right because you had absolutely no sense of direction except where the shampoo was in your royal bathroom 😔
BUT HE DIDN’T HAVE TO RUB IT IN Y’KNOW?!?!
“I--!”
“You? Yes?”
“......”
“......”
“......” Sigh. “Okay, okay, I’ll tell you...but first you have to let my friends go.”
The screen pans over to Seungmin and Jeongin, tied back to back with apples shoved in their mouths. Seungmin stared a hole into Felix’s head while Jeongin was actually making some decent progress getting a bite out of the apple to free himself...until some juice went down the wrong pipe and he started choking.
“RhUK--!!!”
“Your friends?” The prince huffs. “These are the Fire Lord’s attendants. I’ve met them on two occasions in the past. Trust me, they aren’t your...friends.”
You stamp your foot, to which everyone comically flinched. Outside, Han howled at the branches slapping him in the face and the dust in his eyes. “They work for me now, and they’re my friends!!! đŸ˜€đŸ˜€ So let them go right now or I’ll push them out and roll out of here right beside them!”
“!!!”
Felix couldn’t have this, so
He gets to untying, and once freed, the four of you sit on the empty cart floor: you and your attendants on one side, Felix on the other. He exchanges a few words with Changbin up front and Han still on the roof before settling down for your story
“We should be arriving to the west gates shortly. Also, Han is fine, so don’t worry about him. Tell me everything that happened.”
You do. You start from the beginning, with Chan, and the wonderful time the two of you shared. Then you tell him about the village, and how lovely window shopping was, and the moment that all came to a halt. You explain Christopher’s Garden, the aging man who sleepily walked out the front door, the exchange that occurred between him and Chan...the way they embraced. You’d felt so happy but out of place, you decided to venture off and give them the privacy they very much deserved.
Then you come around to Minho. How you’d tried to run, but only made it so far thanks to your new mortal enemy, rocks. You’d become a hostage, and you quickly rush through the rival king’s evil(?) plan to lie his way to victory.
And, of course, you mention the proud and wise decision of his most loyal and trusted adversaries switching sides and how good you are at making friends (ჩ˘⌣˘)♄ so that happened
By the time you get through the whole (short? Not really) story, the six of you have arrived at (Castle’s) West Gate.
~ê•„ê•„ê•„~
M E A N W H I L E
In the past tense bc the author’s random switching is a meme
A certain evil(?) king named Minho was angry
You can understand, right?
I mean, his future bride had escaped, his former friends(?) betrayed him, and he got his ass beat pretty flawlessly by some punk prince who didn’t even injure him that badly...ON PURPOSE
This was a DISASTER
A TOTAL NIGHTMARE
😭😭😭
SCREW THIS HE WAS GOING TO BE VICTORIOUS WITH CHAMPAGNE POURING OVER US AND ALL HIS FRIENDS AND HE WOULD BE GLORIOUS NO MATTER WHAT
In fact, he was following the trail with a few uninjured guards as he spoke
“Keep following the tracks,” he demanded from the window of his carriage. Doongi, Soongi, and Dori all meowed in agreement. “I want those fools hand-tied and the princess back in her station before the sun rises. Is that clear?”
“Crystal, Sir!!!” They all cried. Minho scoffed, closing the window and falling back exhaustively in his seat
He messaged his temples...since Jeongin wasn’t there to do it for him
How did this happen?
How could he lose?
How could he let you and the others just escape like that...and fall for such a subtle, dumb trick?
Also
...there was the matter of his childish behavior from before
In front of the princess, his future wife
His friends
His army



That really hadn’t been like him at all
He just...was so stressed lately
And exhausted
Did he mention exhausted?
What time was it, like, 1 am???
That might be fine for you, but normally this king had his ass under covers by 11 pm
He could scarcely keep his eyes open were it not for all the rocks and potholes and--


And the curious young man that just stumbled out into the road.
Minho leaned forward, staring through the open front window, squinting in the darkness to make out a face; was that one of the boys? Was that Seungmin, or Jeongin perhaps?
It certainly didn’t sound like it-- the sap was calling out a name, and seemed to be dressed in tattered old clothes. Probably a peasant looking for his lost sheep or dog.
But then his men pulled the carriage closer, since that previous battle had spooked all the horses away, and Minho was able to make out a name: “Y/n!!! Princess, say, “here I am!!!””





(ͥ° ͜ʖ ͥ°)
Gottem.

Can We Talk?
Tumblr media
Bim Trimmer x m!reader
ty @just-bts-trash-00 for the request!
A/N: WHOOOOOOO BOY HOWDY, GUESS WHO'S BACK. It's been uh. A while. I'm sorry? School has been hectic and my mental health is SHIT, but i fucking finished it holy god. Anywaaaays, angst. Y'all remember Bim's crush on Matthias? Yeah that's the plot. It's pretty long and I think it's pretty shit but uh here I guess.
Word count: 2.9k
--
You hummed quietly as you fixed dinner for you and your boyfriend in the kitchen. Normally, you didn’t cook. Neither did Bim. Therefore, one of you had to be the cook in the relationship, and you supposed it had to be you. You couldn’t just get takeout until the end of time.
Well
 maybe if you really wanted to.
But you didn’t. You wanted to cook for your boyfriend. He’d said something about “Jewish burgers” one day, and you didn’t know what that meant. At this point, you were too scared to ask. You’d found a recipe for shawarma, and he’d liked that shawarma place you went to the other day, so you were making shawarma. At least
 you did your best.
You yawned and rubbed your eyes, quickly hissing because you somehow forgot there was a bunch of shit on your hands. You quickly turned the faucet on and put your eye under the stream to clean it out.
As you dried your face, you heard a car pull up to the driveway, along with three short honks. You smiled. Finally. You wiped your hands on a rag and turned around to greet your gameshow host.
“Honey, I’m home!” He said in a sing-songy voice as he looked around for you. He saw you leaning on the kitchen counter and smiled. He shrugged off his suit jacket and sat his bag down. He walked towards you with his arms open. You pushed yourself off of the counter and fell into him.
“Hi
” you whispered. He chuckled and held you tight.
“What’s up?” He sniffed the air. “And what’s cooking?”
“Shawarma
” you said, your voice muffled in his neck.
“And uh
 what’s wrong?” You brought your head up and squinted at him. “Ah, of course. The process of making the shawarma. What else would it be?” You shoved your face back in his neck with a grunt of affirmation. He snorted and patted your back. He directed you towards the couch, where you plopped down on your back with a groan.
“Dinner
” you whined. He sat his phone on the coffee table and took his shoes off.
“I’ll finish it up.” He patted your stomach.
“Thank you
” He kissed your forehead and walked away, letting you have your rest. You felt kinda bad, he’d been working all day, and it must be tiring having to sound so happy all the time. Then again, YOU worked all day too, AND you tried to make dinner. Your small rest was earned.
You closed your eyes and sighed, relaxing into the sofa. You startled a bit at the notification sound coming from his phone.
“Bim, your phone
 binged
” You called. Binged? Was that the word?
“I’ll be done in a minute.” He responded.
Dinged! That was it.
You glanced at the phone. It didn’t sound like his usual texting sound, and he didn’t have any games as far as you knew. Maybe it was an email.
Your curiosity got the better of you and you checked the lockscreen.
Yup! Email. From someone named
 M? Who was that?
You shrugged and put it back down. None of your business.
Bim walked back into the living room holding two plates.
“Dinner is served!” He said in a bad English accent.
“Woo
” You cheered weakly and sat up. He put the plates on the table and went back towards the kitchen. “Oh, I bought wine earlier. The good shit, that Dark gets sometimes.”
“Damn, really? How much did that cost you?” He asked in disbelief.
“It was on sale.”
“Why would the good shit be on sale?”
“Some people just don’t have taste.” You smiled when you heard him laugh. He walked back in with two wine glasses and the bottle. “Oh, you have an email from someone named ‘M’.” He tensed up when he heard the name.
That’s
 weird

“O-Oh, uh
 thanks
” He scrambled to grab his phone and shoved it in his pocket. You quirked an eyebrow at him. Suspicious

“Uh
 no problem
” He looked nervous as he poured wine for you two. You squinted at him a bit, wondering why he was so anxious. You trusted him, of course you did, but this was
 weird.
You two sat and ate your dinner in silence. You kept trying to look at him but he avoided your eyes. When you finished your food, you poured more wine into your glass and downed it.
This was gonna be one of those days.
--
Yes, okay, you were drunk. Not blackout drunk, but drunk enough to not exactly know what was going on. You knew that Bim was a bit drunk as well and you two were laughing at
 something
 but other than that, you got nothing.
“I’m ju-I’m jus-I’m
” You paused and blinked a couple times to process your own words. “I’m just saying that Twilight coulda been sssssoooo much better
 if the portag
 protagonist
 fuck’s her name again?”
“Bella?” Bim chuckled.
“That’s the bitch!” You slammed your hand down on the table. Bim wheezed. “If she’d just had
 a little-a little more e-mo-tion, a little more person
 personality
 then Twilight coulda been better! But noooooo, she had ta be
 the most person-boring person in cinematic history. Bull. shhhhhit.”
“Well, she’s
 she needs to
 young girls have to
 relate to her!”
“Okay, but like
 she’s a got-damn plank o’ wood.”
“Tha-hahahaha! That’s not fair!”
“She is! She never-she’s not-she-oh god, I’m drunk
” You squeezed your eyes shut and leaned forward, face angled at the floor in case you got nauseous.
“Yeah
 me too
” He sighed.
“Hey, hey Bim?” You opened an eye and turned to him. He hummed in response. “Who’s ‘M’?” He tensed up again and you frowned.
“Uh, nobody. Nobody! D-Don’t worry about it!” He cleared his throat and shifted in his chair.
“Suspicious
” you mumbled.
“Huh?”
“Nothin’.”
You tilted your head at him, half trying to figure out who it could be(which was very difficult in your drunken state) and half trying to read his mind. You supposed he got kind of uncomfortable because he said:
“I’m gonna
 go into my office
 and check some things
” He stood up and shuffled into a small room that he’d claimed as his office. You sighed and sunk back into the couch, thinking about your options.
First step was communication. You tried to talk to him, but he was being evasive and didn’t honestly answer the question. Suspicious.
Second step was
 looking around the house for clues as to who it was like you were Sherlock Holmes? Absolutely.
You brought yourself to your feet, only stumbling a little, and tiptoed to your shared bedroom. You closed the door behind you as softly as you could before walking over to the closet. You opened it and looked for a moment before deciding it wasn’t worth to actually move things around. You shut the door and moved to the drawers. If anything was gonna be anywhere, it would be in the sock drawer, right? You reached out and put your hand on the handle. You tugged a bit, cracking it open, just a little. Your brain kept telling you that you were already there, just get it over with.
But your heart(well
 still your brain, but whatever) was telling you that you needed to trust your boyfriend if this relationship was going to work.
You sighed and shut the drawer, flopping face-first onto the bed.
Bim wasn’t the type to cheat. Well
 you didn’t think so, anyways. You loved him and
 well, you hoped he loved you. You were going to have faith in your boyfriend. No matter how curious you were.
You shifted around in the bed so you were laying in the correct direction. You were still on your stomach, and you closed your eyes, facing the wall opposite of the door.
After a few minutes, you heard the door quietly creak open. The lights turned off and you heard footsteps make their way towards the bed. You smiled a bit and turned your head to look at Bim. Your smile fell as you saw him open the sock drawer and pull a napkin out.
“Hi Bim.” you said. He screamed and shoved the napkin back in the drawer, slamming it shut. You blinked at him.
“H-Hi, darling, I-I didn’t know you were awake
” He stuttered.
“I was.” You raised your eyebrows.
“Well
 I can see that
” He laughed nervously. You looked at his hand on the drawer.
“What were you looking at?” You asked.
Please tell me the truth, you begged in your head.
“Oh, uh
 n-nothing important, haha
”
Dammit, Bim.
“Okay, well
 come to bed?” You suggested. You smiled at him as best you could.
“Uh
 I’m kinda busy
” He scratched his head. You frowned.
“Please?” You begged and held your arms out. He opened his mouth to oppose, but he decided to make eye contact for the first time tonight since dinner. He visibly relaxed and smiled at you, and you smiled back. He sighed and took his glasses off. You scooted over so he could climb in next to you. You wrapped your arms around him and snuggled into his chest.
“I love you
” you whispered. He didn’t say anything for a moment before he chuckled.
“I love you, too. Night, darling.”
“Good night.”
--
You woke up feeling cold. You reached out to your boyfriend, but he wasn’t there. You rolled over and looked at the time. 3:00 am. Jesus, what was Bim doing? You slowly stood up and got out of bed, still feeling very tired. You walked around for a bit, searching for your partner, before pausing.
Was he
 talking to someone? At this hour?
You walked towards the bathroom, where Bim’s voice was coming from. You put an ear against the door, trying to listen.
“Why can’t he just leave me alone, why can’t he just let me live my life?!” He whisper-yelled. “I’m perfectly content with how I am now. He didn’t want me when I was available, and now I’m unavailable, and suddenly he loves me?! What kind of bullshit is that?!” You frowned, not knowing who he was talking to. You were worried because of how upset he sounded. You softly knocked on the door.
“Bim? You alright?” You asked quietly. You heard a small thump from inside and flinched.
“Y-Yeah! Just
 Just give me a minute!” He yelled. You walked away from the door and looked into the office. You saw your jacket on the floor and scoffed. How’d that get there?
You walked to the other side of the room and grabbed it. As you were walking back, something caught your eye. Bim hadn’t turned the computer off. You figured you’d do it for him. As you went to click out of the open tab, you saw messages on the screen. From ‘M’.
M
Do you love me?
B
Sure
M
So, you’ll get me on your gameshow again?
B
I’ll try.
M
Oh. I see.
B
I’ll try my best. I’ll do anything for you.
M
Anything?
B
Yes
M
Leave your boyfriend
Hello?
Trimmer? You there?
Your vision started to blur and you were confused until you felt the tears start down your face. You were still drunk, right? That’s why you were so emotional.
Yep. That’s it. That’s the only reason.
You wiped your face and went back to the bathroom door. He was still talking, but more quietly so you didn’t really hear him. After a minute or two, he sighed and unlocked the bathroom door. You stepped away and leaned on the wall opposite the door. Bim walked out and yelped.
“Oh my God! Hi!” He laughed. “I-I didn’t know you were still out here, uh
” He looked at you and furrowed his eyebrows. “Your
 eyes are kinda red
 are you ok?” He reached out to touch your face but you avoided his hand.
“No, no. I’m fine. Just
 need to use the
 bathroom
” You said, managing to not have any voice cracks or slur any words. Nice.
“I
 ok
” He dropped his hand and walked towards your bedroom. You went into the bathroom, shutting and locking it behind you. You hiccuped a bit before tears started streaming down your face. You leaned your forehead on the door, just letting it all out. You hadn’t cried in a while, that’s all.
That is the only reason.
You stood there and cried for a bit before walking over to the sink and looking at yourself in the mirror.
God, you were a mess.
Your eyes were all red and puffy, there were tear marks on your cheeks, you kept sniffling like a goddamn third grader.
And it
 hurt.
Not just your eyes stinging from the tears. Although that hurt too.
The fact that he was hiding from you, that he wouldn’t talk to you, that he didn’t trust you.
You sighed and shut your eyes. You turned the faucet on, splashing water on your face, wiping all the evidence away.
You turned the water off and stared at your face, dripping wet, looking a bit shit.
“I’ll talk to him in the morning
” you promised yourself. You went back into your bedroom, finding Bim already asleep. You climbed in next to him, but didn’t hold him like you usually did. You curled up and turned away.
You’d talk to him in the morning.
--
You went to the living room after waking up and getting ready. You were supposed to go into work, but you told your boss you were having “family problems” and might come in later. You sat on the couch and watched a bit of tv while you waited for Bim to wake up. He had the day off, so he didn’t have to worry about anything. He was
You sat with your knees tucked in. You lifted your head a bit when you heard th shower turn on. You sighed and thought about what you were supposed to say.
Hi, Bim. I’m worried about you. Is there anything you want to tell me?
Hi, Bim. You’ve been acting weird recently. Everything ok?
Hi, Bim. I went through your messages. Are you cheating on me?
You groaned and buried your face in your hands. Why was this happening? Was he not happy? Were you doing something wrong?
As you were overthinking, the shower turned off. You uncovered your face and turned the TV off. You sat and waited for Bim to enter the living room.
Okay, just
 tell him what happened.
Bim walked in wearing a T-Shirt and sweatpants. He went to the door and grabbed a jacket.
“We need more chicken, I’ll head to the store and-”
“Can we talk? Can you sit down for a second?” You interrupted. He froze halfway through putting his jacket on and stared at you.
“Um
 okay
” He said slowly. He put the jacket on the back of his chair and sat. You sighed and put your legs down.
“Last night, when you were in the bathroom, I went into your office,” you explained. His eyes widened. Not a good sign.
“Why-Why did you do that?” His voice cracked as he spoke.
“I saw my jacket on the floor.” His face twitched into a scowl for a millisecond.
“Okay
 and?”
“And
 I figured I’d turn your computer off for you.” You avoided looking at him. “I s-saw some messages, and I wanted to ask-”
“I’m not cheating on you!” He claimed loudly. You blinked and looked at him. He looked scared. Kinda panicked.
“Okay
”
“I-I don’t like him anymore! That was like a joke message! I didn’t mean it, I just wanted to know if he actually felt anything for me, or if I was just being used by him! It was from a while ago! I-I know I shouldn’t have messaged him, I know a-and I’m sorry, but I don’t know why he’s messaging me again now! I want nothing to do with him I promise!” You hummed and looked away. You heard a shuffle before Bim appeared on his knees on the floor in front of you.
“Wha-Bim?” You flushed.
“Please, please, please believe me! I never wanted anyone but you! I just
 It wasn’t recent, it was a while ago! I wanted to know if he ever actually liked me, and
 I had you! There wasn't any reason to go back to him! And I don’t want to lose you! I-I can be better, I promise!”
“Okay, h-how ‘bout we calm down-”
“I do love you, I-I do! But
 if you don’t trust me anymore, that’s fine! I-I just want you to be happy and-”
“BIM!” You yelled. He looked up at you with misty eyes and a quivering lip. You shook your head with a small laugh.
“Wh-What’s so funny?” He sniffled.
“I’m not gonna leave you! I understand! You wanted to know if there was anything ever there, if he ever felt anything for you instead of just being a manipulative bastard.” You smirked.
“Yes! Exactly!” He nodded his head hard.
“You could’ve
 said that. I would’ve understood
”
“You
 You would have?”
“Bim, you’re an adult. Do you not know how to communicate?”
“Uh
 not
 really?” He furrowed his eyebrows.
“Okay, we’re gonna have to work on that, and I think you might have trust issues too
 ” You shook your head.
“Do I need therapy?”
“Yeah, therapy’s good for this sort of thing.”
You moved forward and kissed his forehead. He wiped his eyes and kissed you gently.
“Are we gonna be okay?” He asked after pulling back. You leaned your forehead against his.
“Yeah
 we’ll be okay?”

Just a Simple Lie
Chapter 8
Tumblr media
Description: Having worked on small independent films for the better part of a decade, your friend tells you about an opening for a script supervisor with a large studio. Wanting to advance your career, you apply and get an interview. The only downside, they prefer to hire crew who are married. It’s just a simple lie, right?
Pairing: Chris Evans x Reader
Warnings: Cursing, Drinking, Fluff and Angst
A/N:  I really love this chapter and hope you guys do too! As always, this fic is simply for fun. I know nothing about the personal lives of the two actors in this series and mean no harm. I am also totally guessing regarding the studio talk. Comments, reblogs, and likes are always welcome.
Word Count: 4,066
Catch up with chapter 7
**
Everything was packed back into the large storage bins they came in. Your desk was cleaned out and everything in your hotel room was shoved into a suitcase and a duffle bag. Filming had been completed in the Great White North. There were a couple of scenes that needed to be reshot, but that wouldn’t be more than a week. Monica had changed your flights to an earlier time, stating she didn’t want to sit around the worn-out motel room when she could be headed home to sunny skies. This only caused slight panic on your end. You hated being rushed. Sure, you were a last-minute packer, but when it was unofficially part of your job to make sure all wardrobe and set accessories were returning back to the states, it stressed you out.
The plane would be boarding in a matter of minutes and Monica thought now was the perfect time to grab coffee. You on the other hand were digging through your carry-on bag. Joanna had quite the sweet tooth, even more now that she was pregnant. You had picked up a bag of maple candy but of course you couldn’t find it. You phone buzzed in your purse that was on the empty seat next to you. Zipping up your carry-on, you picked up the bag on your left and dug through the bottomless pit that was your purse, finding both the maple candy as well as your phone.
Chris: What are you doing?
Y/N: I can tell you what I’m not doing
sleeping. Relaxing. Sipping a Mai Tai by the pool. But not the pool here at the hotel, but the pool at my apartment complex where it’s a lot warmer.
Chris: 😂😂😂
Chris had flown to Boston for a couple of days since he didn’t have to be back to California for filming for another three days.
Chris: Bet you can’t wait for filming to be done.
Y/N: If you’re asking me today, yes. But I’m sure next week I’ll be missing it.
Chris: Yeah, this was a fun shoot. I’m going to miss everybody. Some more than others.
Y/N:  *Turns around to look behind me*
Y/N: Who me?
You could feel your face grow warmer and warmer. Thankfully, Monica hadn’t returned.
Chris: You have to know I care about you.
“Fuck,” you swore.
Chris: Of course, I’m going to miss you.
Miss. Just another point in the “this is temporary” bucket. You’d miss him too. There was no doubt in your mind.
Y/N: I’m going to miss you too.
Y/N: Monica is giving me the evil eye for not paying attention to her. See you back in Cali.
She wasn’t back, but he didn’t have to know that. This conversation was getting to be too much for you. Your resolve was breaking. You shut off your phone just as Monica appeared with two large to go cups and a small plastic bag full of cream capsules and sweeteners.
“Life saver,” you said, grabbing one of the cups.
**
Reshoots were now complete. Despite your better judgement, you had spent a large amount of time in Chris’ trailer. Purely innocent of course. He wooed you with gourmet coffee and kept you coming back with pastries. All of it better than what was being served by Craft Services. He found a bakery near the studio the day he was back on set for reshoots and just kept going back. Chris was footing the bill, so you really couldn’t complain. It was like the two of you were trying to spend as much time together as possible. Both of you knowing this would probably be it. Chris didn’t have any other projects with Stone Lite and since your contract was with the studio, you wouldn’t be working together any time soon.
The studio did indeed extend your contract for another movie. Monica apparently had the inside scoop as they did want the two of you working together again like she mentioned. The next film was a teen romantic comedy and the only names you had recognized were the two leads that had done a few things for the Disney Channel. You were a closet Disney freak, what could you say?
The wrap party was in two nights and since you were staying on with the studio, you were going. But Chris didn’t need to know that.
“You’re going,” Chris said bumping his elbow into your side.
You were snug between him and Dodger on his trailer’s couch. The sleeping dog’s nose rested slightly on your thigh. The Evans boys needed to learn a thing or two about space.
Shaking your head like a child, you kept your eyes on your phone reading through e-mails about the next film that would start filming in three weeks.
“Don’t shake your head at me. It’s the last time we’ll be together. I mean, um, all of us will be together.”
You looked up, giving him a disinterested stare. You caught his words, but you were trying to keep it together here. “I don’t know. Seems kind of lame. I mean, I see you guys every day.”
“You’re a pain in my ass. You know that?”
“I think I caught that vibe,” you said jabbing him back with your elbow. “Of course, I’m going. My contract got extended. It would look terrible if I didn’t.”
“Plus, me,” he said with a pout.
“And you Christopher.”
**
The music was blaring. Some C or D list celebrity the studio hired to DJ the party was pumping out early 2000s dance music. You could barely hear Monica who was standing next to you. Everyone was dressed to the nines including yourself. A sparkly black dress Jana threw at you because “I’ll never fit into it again!” she had said dramatically. She acted in high school and college. That was always Ian’s reasoning when she let her emotions take control of the conversation. Her loss was your gain. It hit just at the knees and had cute, puffy cap sleeves. The neckline was cut in a V and showed the tiniest bit of cleavage. Tasteful cleavage as you liked to call it. You would give it back to her at some point after the baby was born. It would sit in the back of your closet after tonight. Besides, it wasn’t like you spent your evenings in fancy Beverly Hills’ hotels every week.
You excused yourself from your small group and wobbled your way to the bar for another drink. The shoes were yours and barely used. Black, sexy leather with a tall skinny heel. You didn’t do heels, but flats just simply wouldn’t do. Not with this dress anyway.
White wine was your drink of choice for the night. You had spent a lot of money on a Lyft to the party and you would do so on the way home too, so you planned to have drinks. But you were not getting wasted. Not in your fancy borrowed dress and most certainly not in these shoes.
You leaned against the polished wood bar, careful not to lean on the parts that were wet with condensation from drinks that were placed on it earlier in the night. The small black clutch was held tightly in your left hand as the fingers on your right drummed to OutKast’s Hey Ya.
An arm was thrown around your shoulders as you felt the weight of a body pushed against you. It was Chris. You could smell the spice of his cologne without even looking.
“Howdy stranger. What’ll it be? I’m buying,” you joked, not sparring him a glance.
“Is that because the studio’s picking up the tab tonight?”
You turned to face him, his arm dropping off of your shoulder. He stepped in closer, your back hitting the bar. He breath fanned against your face, smelling like beer and mint.  
Apparently, Mr. Evans likes to pre-game it.
“Maybe so. I tip well though.” You turned back around seeing that your wine glass was waiting for you. You dropped a couple of ones into the large glass picture placed just below the counter top.
“Next round,” he said. “My brother’s grabbing us some drinks.”
“Ah, that elusive brother of yours is here?” you asked.
Chris had talked so much about Scott that you felt like you knew him.
He nodded his head, biting at his lower lip. “You look great by the way.”
You curtsied, which only caused him to laugh. “Not looking so bad yourself, Chris.” But when did he not look better than most? Black dress pants with a black button-down shirt tucked in. A textured black belt around his waist breaking up the full black attire a bit.
His cheeks tinted pink. Looking past you, he waved someone over. Most likely his brother.
“Y/N, this is Scott,” he started before his brother came into view behind you.
Two beers in hand, he walked past you, handing one off to Chris. “Finally. This one never shuts up. I was afraid he’d lost it and you didn’t actually exist.”
“And I feel like we’re already friends. I know your shoe size and favorite restaurant back in Massachusetts.”
“If I didn’t already know my brother blabs about me, I’d think I have a stalker on my hands.” He set his bottle on the bar top and wrapped you in a hug. It took you by surprise for a moment, making you wobble on your feet.
“Good to meet you too Scott,” you chuckled.
He picked up his bottle and pinged it against your glass. “You too!”
“Where’s Travis?” Chris asked, looking around the space, taking a sip from his bottle.
“He’s not here. Working,” you added as an after-thought.
Yeah, I suppose significant others comes to these types of things.
Chris furrowed his brow and gave Scott a look you couldn’t read. The two of them seemed to have a silent conversation while you nervously sipped on your wine.
“We should dance!” Scott blurted, grabbing your mostly full glass from your hand and setting it on the bar. He reached your hand and pulled you to the dance floor. You turned backed to Chris who stayed put, bottle tipped at his lips.
Get Low had just started play over the sound system. Scott held both of your hands in his while he indeed got low to the ground bringing a smile to your lips.
“Come on!” he encouraged.
A giggle erupted out of your mouth that didn’t sound like your own. With your hands still embraced in his, your hips swayed back and forth with you knees bending bringing you close to the floor. You slowly swayed back up only for Scott to start to go down. You were having a blast and you wished that you had met Scott Evans sooner.
**
The night went on with you successfully dodging the several shot glasses that were handed your way. Your big mouth had gotten you in enough trouble over the course of this shoot when alcohol was involved. You had one additional glass of wine and had already switched to water.
After taking several pictures in the makeshift photobooth with various crew members, you found yourself back on the dance floor. You didn’t have a full range of motion with the shoes you were wearing but you could sway and raise your hands up with the best of them.
Monica, who you didn’t see as much of a dancer, and Maggie, had trapped you in the middle of their makeshift dance circle along with about two dozen or so sweaty bodies. Everyone was letting loose and having a good time, so you let yourself as well.
The Evans brothers joined your intimate group on the dance floor much to Monica’s delight. You were pretty sure you heard her say “thank god” when Chris danced his way to you. The man could move and you had a hard time keeping to the beat of Usher’s Yeah! while your eyes stayed glued to him.
Hollaback came on to a chorus of screams from all the women on the dance floor. You threw your head back with laughter but sang right along with everyone else with one hand in the air.
Few times I've been around that track So it's not just gonna happen like that 'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl I ain't no hollaback girl
Chris left the dance floor a couple of times, each time returning with a new bottle of beer. Disappointment flooded your mind when you remembered this would probably be the last time, you’d see him. You really wanted to just hangout with your friend and talk in one of the booths that lined the back wall. It was quieter over there, but he was having fun and drinking quite a bit.
It was like a junior high dance when half the dance floor disappeared when Aerosmith’s I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing started to play. Maggie, Monica, and you huddled with your arms linked dancing slowly to the music. A strong tug on your arm had you dropping hands with Maggie. Chris reached for it, placing it on his shoulder while his hands went to your waist.
Oh. Oh!
You placed your other hand on his shoulder and looked around the large room as the two of you swayed. This was so much like a school dance except the cute boy had chosen you instead of you finding a seat on the bleachers.
“So, you come here often?” Humor was your distraction of choice.
You were nervous and often used humor as a way to make yourself calm down. You were already sweating from being on the dance floor for over an hour. Being so close to him wasn’t helping.
Chris smiled at you with sleepy eyes. “I’m gonna miss you, you know? Not gonna be the same.” You nodded your head, trying to concentrate on the song rather than the man in front of you. “You’re gonna meet a whole new group of people on your next film and forget all about me.”
You shook your head. “Not possible.”
“Gonna go off and get married. To that kid,” he shook his head and lowered his eyes. He had a barely there smile on his face, but he was sad. There was no mistaking it. “You happy?” he asked, eyes finding yours.
“Ye-yeah. I’m happy, Chris.”
Chris leaned his head forward and kissed your forehead with that soft pouty mouth.  You closed your eyes and took a big breath through your nose. You lowered your head so that it rested on his shoulder. This was all too much. It was all over and there was no going back. If you could do it all again, there would be no ring on your finger. No pretend fiancĂ©. You probably wouldn’t have this job, but at least you wouldn’t have this sadness in your heart.
The song ended and you let your arms fall of his shoulder. Someone smacked your butt making you whip around to see a sly smile on Monica’s face.
“Brat!” you yelled.
She put an arm around your shoulder and pulled you close. “You lucky bitch.”
You laughed loudly and hugged her as she pulled you back into the ladies’ dance circle. You turned your head to see Chris leave the dance floor, Scott following after him.
**
It was late and about half the attendees had already left for the evening. Some of the crew were going to a diner about a block away for food since everyone was mainly drunk and hungry. You hadn’t seen Chris since your impromptu slow dance. He wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye, or at least you didn’t think he would. After searching a bit, you shot him a text telling him about the plans for the diner and to call you. You stepped outside into the chilly evening air, regretting not slipping on a jacket before you left your place. David, his wife, Monica, Joe, Javier, and Maggie were waiting for you.
“Y/N.”
You spun around to see Chris in the opposite direction on the sidewalk, cigarette in his hand. He took a puff of it before throwing it to the ground and blowing the smoke away from you. It surprised you because you’d never actually seen him smoke before.
“Hey,” you said, taking a few steps closer to him. “We’re going to grab something to eat. Want to come with? I sent you a text.” He licked his lips, hands going into his front pockets. He didn’t respond, so you spoke again. “Where’s Scott?”
“He’s inside. He knows some people here.” Chris shook his head. “Can we talk?”
“Uh, yeah. Give me a sec.”
You turned back the other way where your group was huddled. “I’ll meet you there. Save me a seat.”
“You got it,” David said.
Chris waited for you just outside the hotel door. The doorman opened it for you and the two of you stepped inside. The dance music had ended and but there were still plenty of people at the bar in the private room. Chris grabbed your hand and pulled you into a room that was labeled Business Center on the door. He shut the door behind you and turned to face you. He didn’t speak and if you were being honest, you were scared to death. He had drank a lot over the course of the night, but he didn’t seem drunk.
“What did you want to talk about?” you asked hesitantly.
This dress needs pockets.
The urge to hide is strong and you don’t know why. Something just didn’t feel right.
“Why isn’t Travis here, Y/N?”
“I told you, work.”
“That’s bullshit. That’s bullshit, Y/N. It’s late.”
“He’s working on a new script. We understand each other. Work is important to the both of us.”
Chris ran a hand through his hair, messing up the perfectly styled hairdo.
“Are you happy, Y/N?” Before you could respond, he started to speak again. “Cause you don’t seem happy.”
“God Chris. Where is this coming from?” You turned your back to him, crossing your arms.
“Why are you marrying him, Y/N?”
Every time he says your name, it’s like a nail in your heart.
“I love him.” It’s weak and even you know it. “He’s one of my best friends.”
Neither of those things is a lie. Just not the whole truth.
He comes to stand close behind you, but you don’t turn around.
“He’s not right for you. You never talk about him. We filmed for over three months and he only showed up for like two days, Y/N. You never went home to see him when you could have. He never called you or texted you when we were together. And we were together a lot.”
“What do you want me to say Chris?” You turned around to face him and he looked so damn defeated. “Not every couple needs to be together all the time.”
He shook his head. “Don’t marry him, Y/N.” You let out a puff of air, dropping your butt into one of the office rolling chairs, crossing your arms again. “He’s not right for you.”
This is too much. This was supposed to be easy.
“This isn’t fair, Chris. Why are you doing this?”
He dropped his hands onto the chair’s armrests, hovering over you. “I don’t want you to make this big mistake.”
“It’s not that simple. There are things you don’t know.”
Fuck!
He pushed away from you and turned his back.
“I care about you,” he sighed, taking another deep breath. “Does he make you laugh? Do you smile when you think about him?” He turns back around and now you can see that his eyes are glossy. “Don’t marry him.”
 “Please don’t do this,” you said softly, dropping your face into your hands.
“You deserve everything.”
Dropping your hands from your face, you stood up and turned away from him again. “Oh, yeah? Why? What do I deserve, Chris?”
“Jesus, Y/N! Can’t you see that I’m crazy about you?” he pleaded.
You turned back around, with your eyes wide. “Chris,” you said softly.
He stepped forward and took your hands in his. “You deserve to be happy. You deserve someone who loves you more than they ever dreamed imaginable. Someone who treats you like the sweet, beautiful, caring woman you are.” He brought your hands to his lips, kissing each one softly. “I want to hear your voice every day. I want to see your smile because when I’m with you, I can only smile. I want to know what you had to eat. What dumb thing David texted you about,” he chuckled. “If not me, you deserve someone who wants all those things from you.”
You couldn’t help yourself. If anyone asked you about it later, you’d say you temporarily gone insane. With you head leaning closer to his, you closed the gap between the two of you and kissed him. It was soft and sweet and over too quickly but the urge to have him stop talking and the urge to feel his lips on yours won over your rational side. You pulled back only to have him place a hand on the back of your head and pull you to him again. His tongue sought entrance as it played at the crease of your lips. You pulled away. This wasn’t fair to him. He had to know the truth.
Tears slowly trailed down your cheeks. Thick, fat tears because of all the wonderful things he’s said about you but also because you’ve been lying to this wonderful man. Chris let go of your right hand and wiped away the tears on your cheeks.
“I’m not,” you started. “I’m not marrying Travis.”
“You’re not?”
You shook your head no. “We’re not together. Can we sit down?” Chris nodded and pulled one of the other rolling chairs over to the one you previously occupied.
“What’s going on, Y/N?” he asked.
“Stone Lite has an odd hiring practice that most people in the industry know about. It’s not anything official because I’m pretty sure they could get into a lot of trouble if it were.” You took a deep breath. “You’re more likely to get hired if you’re married.” Chris furrowed his brow, but he didn’t speak. “So, I wore a ring to my interview and said I was engaged when I was asked. But I’m not.”
“Wow,” he said, eyes wide. He pushed back on the chair, putting a couple of feet between you, but it felt like a mile.
“I didn’t think it would be a big deal. I didn’t expect people to ask so many questions.” You shook your head. “But the hiring practice is true. Monica’s been with the studio for a couple of years, yet I still got to work with you and Keanu.”
“So, what? You were going to just be engaged to Travis forever so you could keep a job?” He sounded angry and you couldn’t fault him.
“No.” You shook your head. “I don’t know. For a while anyway.” He stood up and paced the small space. “I wanted to tell you. I really did.”
“Then why didn’t you? We were friends.”
Were.
“This is my career, Chris. Getting a job here is a big deal. I’ve been floating for years on small projects and don’t get me wrong, I loved those jobs, but they weren’t enough. I was tired of slinging beer and hot wings just to make sure I could make it to the next film.”
He stopped pacing and walked the few feet to reach you. “You could have told me. You should have told me instead of having some guy fly to Canada to pretend to be your fiancĂ©. I trusted you, didn’t you trust me?”
You looked away from him. He was right. You could have told him so many times but you were so worried it would have gotten out. “I just didn’t think this would go so far.” You honestly weren’t sure if you meant the lie, or what was happening between you and Chris. “I’m sorry,” you whispered, still too afraid to look at him.
“Yeah,” he said, sounding defeated. “Me too.”
The sound of the door opening and then closing made you look up. He was gone.

Me, my first time entering the tiefs chat: Hi you all, you are so amazing and beautiful and I am so happy to be here. Let me give you hugs. Your writing is amazing, if you ever need help or just need to rant, I’m here.
The group chat: #MaddyTheHypeMom.
Me:..... Well I feel called out, but I can’t deny it. This is it. I am the hype mom. I shall adopt all of you, I don’t care if some of you are 5 years older than me. I am the mom now and I will love you all.

And finally~
My online chat peacefully minding their own business:
Me sending a text to them: 😇
Them: oh god, this can’t be good.

2020 Part 1
It’s time once again for my New Years retrospective. I’m kind of afraid to look back on 2020 tbh but I guess I’ve gotta. I mean, sure, some good things did happen this year...
New Years'
The scene: New Years Eve, 2019. I was ringing in the new year with my fellow Carowinds costume shop employees. We stood in a circle just inside one of the employee only areas, right behind the main stage in fact. The gigantic, electronically lighted Christmas tree stood tall behind us, various costumed actors dancing endlessly in front of it while festive music blared out of the speakers everywhere throughout the park. We had been informed by upper management that we were at maximum capacity -- as in, they were actively turning people away at the gates. Many families simply parked in the parking lot and sat on their car roofs in the cold December evening, waiting on the fireworks to start. Carowinds was packed to the gills, which was the reason we were in an employee only area. That and the champagne. Can’t let park guests see us drinking, and on the clock even. 
We all stood around in a circle and made toasts, reflecting on the year in general and on the event that we were wrapping up, Winterfest. It had been a pretty crazy year for some of us (me). We talked about new years’ resolutions, about where we thought we’d be this time next year, about everything. It was fun.
The countdown finally started, a distant echo of “20″ that we could hear from behind us, the performers on stage starting the countdown. By the time we got to zero, it seemed like everyone in the park had joined in the countdown. Thousands and thousands of voices all counting in unison was chilling and inspiring. 2020 was the start of a new decade, not just a new year. It was going to be our year. We could feel it. Good things were going to happen, we said! The fireworks started, and we watched them all to the very last while we finished off our champagne. Then we disbanded, gathering up the laundry as the performers hastily changed out of their costumes. We didn’t leave until around 2am, but none of us were tired. I chugged a coffee and an energy drink and drove 1.5 hours home, to where my cat was waiting for me. I’d have a whole week off before heading back to Carowinds to finish cleaning up from Winterfest.
It all went downhill from there.
January
The first major thing to happen in January, according to my Tumblr, was the Direct about the two Sword and Shield expansion passes. And Galarian Articuno, of course. 
Inspired by the news of the Expansions for SWSH, I guess, I did a shiny hunt and hatched a shiny Snom!
Byleth in Smash... boy was that a thing. (The memes were great)
I started preparing for Nashicon (remember when cons were a thing?)
I finished writing Yosuke and the Magic Lamp! Wow!
We got a US release date for Rune Factory 4 special, after 5000 years!
I watched The Good Place, and the ending d e s t r o y e d me
February
I got into Defunctland, I guess? (lots of posts about it)
In February, I got the news that I would have to leave my job for 13 weeks because of weird seasonal hours bullshit BUT at the end of the 13 weeks I would be promoted to Area Supervisor. I agreed, of course, because it was only going to be 13 weeks, right? right?
I literally packed up everything and moved back to Columbia the same day I picked up Lauren from the airport for Nashicon
Nashicon happened. That was probably the last normal thing to happen to me in 2020, to be honest (even then, it was very weird because we were in a hotel and not the convention center AND we were in February instead of March or April)
We managed to sneak away from the con and watch the Sonic movie in theatres, and boy howdy am I glad we did in retrospect
I hatched a shiny Ribombee!
February 29th was the first Coronavirus post I reblogged

cobblestones: modern prince hyunjin au - part 9
[masterlist]
[pt 1] [pt 2] [pt 3] [pt 4] [pt 5] [pt 6] [pt 7] [pt 8] [pt 9] [pt 10] [final]
well howdy there pals hope your week has been good to you~! two parts left!!! also a short part this time so the parts line up with each other!!
pairings: hwang hyunjin x reader
wc: 1,100
description: alright here’s the plan: confess to the boy you like but know it won’t work out but pretend to be a couple anyway.. what could go wrong? 
Tumblr media
“hwang hyunjin... i like you too”
AH THERE 
YOU SAID IT 
HOW DOES IT FEEL
“.... á”’Ê° Ëąá”‰Êłá¶Šá”’á”˜ËąËĄÊž I MEAN- i know, who wouldn’t like me” he said smirking
...
.....
did he JUST
“ah no no i’m kidding ... i’m really glad” hyunjin responds back
“so..”
“soo??”
“what now?”
“what do you mean”
“hyunijn,, i have to go home, you have to go home, do we really wanna do long distance?”
“i- i guess you’re right.. so what? we just pretend this never happen??”
“is that what you want?”
“i mean.. i kinda wanna take you on dates and hold your hand and tell you you’re pretty all the time and kiss your cute forehead and-”
“okay! okay.” you say as you freak out and put your hand over hyunjin’s mouth.
LIKE YOU’RE .5 SECONDS FROM BLUSHING LIKE A CHERRY TOMATO
 “why don’t we.. go and dates and do all the fun coupley stuff but not.. actually call us a couple???” you suggest
.. really
(i feel like you read enough fanfics to know that this idea is a horrible idea)
“y/n, i’d do whatever if it makes you happy”
aH
MY HEART
okay this is okay
doing fun couple stuff without the commitment? what could go wrong?
«────── « â‹…Êšâ™ĄÉžâ‹… » ──────»
“rise and shine beautiful!!”
WHAT on EARTH
“hyunjin??” you mumble
“of course! unless someone else calls you beautiful.. and if that’s the case i’ll fight them”
“omg shh let me sleep”
“no can do!! we’re in charge of last minute preparations for the ball!!”
yoU GROAN
BECAUSE
YOU JUST WANNA SLEEP in
but you’ll reluctantly get up
for hyunjin of course
“ah even with a bedhead you’re still looking as stunning as always”
«────── « â‹…Êšâ™ĄÉžâ‹… » ──────»
when hyunjin said last minute ball preparations he meant
oh let’s just 
stroll around london pretending to check on the cake and the decorations while we stop for bubble tea and talk about our lives
“no way! you’re an anime nerd!”
“you’re saying that like it’s a bad thing”
“i am NOT!”
“well whatever midoriya izuku has my heart and a half”
you guys sit down for a mid-afternoon picnic when you hear a
“wow mister you’re so tall!! can you help us get the soccer down from the tree??? jeongin kicked it up a tree >:(” a small boy says to hyunjin pouting
“seungmin hyuuunngg i didn’t mean toooo D:” a boy responds back
hyunjin ruffles ‘seungmin’s’ hair and says, “of course buddy”
and you watch as hyunjin gets the ball out of tree
and the boys are awe because ‘woW big tall guy helped get the soccer ball out of the tree!!”
and so they ask if he can play with them for a while
and duh hyunjin says yes because who can say no to those two adorable boys
and so you watch as hyunjin plays soccer with the boys and think about how much fun he’s having and how much the kids love him and how cute he looks with the sun is hitting his face just right and-
“hey y/n you okay?”
“huh?”
hyunjin runs over and puts a hand on your forehead
“you look pretty dazed.. are you okay? and you’re kinda burning up?”
oh that’s probs because you made me blush but haha we’re ignoring that
“uH NO I’M fine i’m okay!!!!”
“you sure?”
“yes yup totally bro”
“uhh okay... one more goal and i’ll promise we’ll leave!” hyunjin says as he leans over and kisses your forehead
cue the blush x2
«────── « â‹…Êšâ™ĄÉžâ‹… » ──────»
you guys spend the rest of the day together
and like
you thought it went pretty well!!!
“hey hyunjin..” you start to say as you guys are walking back to the palace with your hands intertwined
“hm?”
“i.. had fun today”
“aw you did? i’m glad”
“can we.. do this again? before i leave?”
“ugh don’t remind me.. when do you leave again?”
“ two weeks or so,, but the ball is coming up and i know we’re gonna be busy because we didn’t actually do any work today”
hyunjin laughs and you can’t help but to think that it’s probably your favorite sound?
“it’s a date babe”
«────── « â‹…Êšâ™ĄÉžâ‹… » ──────»
unfortunately 
that ‘date’ never comes
you haven’t seen hyunjin in like four days?
and the ball is this weekend?
you try to replay your last conversation in your head
he DID say he was gonna take you out on another date right?
and it’s not like you sat on your butt waiting for him
like you asked everyone if they knew where he was
because gosh darn if he didn’t ask you then you would ask him
but no one seemed to know where he was
yeji didn’t know where he was
“hey yeji,, have you seen hyunjin lately?”
“actually no.. i haven’t,, don’t be too worried though i’m sure he’s doing last minute stuff for the ball..”
and felix was no help either
“hey lix,,, have you seen your brother?”
“now that you mention it.. i haven’t seen him in a while.. i’ll let you know when i do, y/n” 
you start thinking things like
what if he’s dead in a ditch and no one knows??
what if he just left england without saying anything to you?? you didn’t have each other’s numbers?? why would you when you were staying TWO doors down from him??
what if he was abducted by aliens and now they’re trying to do weird experiments on his brain?????
but like
you can’t help but to think of him
and your feelings
because what DO you feel for him??
you like him. that’s for sure
is it something more than a simple crush though?
is it 
love?
there’s like
no way
it’s been like 
a day
(technically it’s been a month and a half since you’ve known him)
but still
too soon for love
luckily
three days later,, felix runs up to you and says
“Y/N i just saw hyunjin head outside to the garden”
you actually can’t believe it
so he didn’t leave you without a word
he didn’t die in a ditch
he wasn’t being probed my aliens!!!!
you run and run until you reach the garden
super excited to see the boy who has been running through your mind the past WEEK
and you open the doors with the biggest smile in your face 
and wow! a sight that wipes that grin right off your face
you see hyunjin
linked arm in arm with a girl
a very very pretty girl may you add
“y/n?” you hear him say
“hyunjin?”
you and hyunjin look at each other with shocked faces
but hyunjin is the first one to break eye contact
before looking back at you with a look you can’t decipher
“y/n, meet mirai, my fiancĂ©e”
«────── « â‹…Êšâ™ĄÉžâ‹… » ──────»
a/n: pals i don’t know if you saw that coming but like let me know if you did because while i love the cliches,, you know how it goes
n e ways, next part is the ball scene we’ve been waiting for!! 
thanks for reading pals it means a lot!!!!

Howdy can I get a ship please if that’s alright? I am 4’11 skINNY olive skin, brown eyes, short curly brown hair girl. I am a Leo and a gryffindor when everyone thought I’d be in slytherin. I have both traits for gryff and sly. I am a very competitive person in any form of way but specially in sports. I have the STREET SMARTS. I would be a chaser in my quidditch team. I love to listen to music and just vibe and paint a lot and loOooove sports. I hope that’s enough thank you and fairwell!:)
You are amazing! And are you a John Mulaney fan with those STREET SMARTS!? Enjoy! 💕
I ship you with:
Harry Potter!!!
First of all, you sound really cute and Harry would LOVE that. Your shortness makes you super huggable and you’d have so much fun cuddling endlessly.
Harry would spend hours admiring your hair... until you’d yell at him for messing up the curls or getting his fingers caught in them. (trust me I know the struggle lol)
Harry is also a Leo, and a relationship with two Leos can be dangerous (I have experience here, too lol). But like, dangerous in a good way. Everyone would know to not fuck with either of you. Also, the two of you would bond over being impulsive, loud, amazing Leos.
You both being in Gryffindor is great, because Harry is a slut for Gryffindor... even though he loves a Slytherin, too.
OMG COMPETITIVE! Like, don’t even get me started on competitive with you and Harry. The two of you would D O M I N A T E that Quidditch team. Like, with both of you playing, Gryffindor will never lose a game.
Even in regular life, you’d be competitive with each other, but in a cute way. Like beating each other to the common room after class, or seeing who can play the most pranks on Snape without being caught.
It’s good that you have the STREET SMARTS like J.J. Bittenbinder has taught us, because Harry has N O N E. I mean, we’ve all seen how impulsive this boy is... he needs you to balance him out.
“Harry, no!” “HARRY YES” proceeds to get hurt and in trouble, “Told you...”
Harry is always down for just a chill night where you can vibe. I mean, the boy was the subject of an attempted murder for seven years straight, he needs a break sometimes. He’d love to listen to music with you and watch you paint for hours on end.
He’d love to compliment you on your work and watch you attempt to deny it or get all mushy.
Of course you’d try to teach him... which would turn into a competition for who’s better
and he’d get all pouty when he loses. 
You’d introduce him to all the muggle sports and he would be absolutely enthralled. You’d spend hours watching all the games you could and shouting at the tv together.
Thank you and I hope you enjoyed this and farewell my friend!

You've got this take that professor down!!! Hope things go in your favor and good luck you amazing women!!!
Thank you!!!!! I really hate being angry, because I am not a nice person when I'm angry. So I try really really really hard to get mad lol so I only get genuinely angry like..... twice a year??? Maybe??
Because when I'm angry I stay pulling out all the 10001 of my dads "Darren's tried and true ways of fighting dirty but not so dirty that you cross the line into innapropate but dirty enough that they're going to think about this conversation 34 years from now while they lie awake and state at the ceiling instead of paying attention to their honeymoon" tricks.
And like boy howdy am
p i s s e d
How dare any human being try to mess with my education. But partial soul death to whoever trys to fuck with one my best friends at all but ESPECIALLY not her education and not only because she happens to be the most hard working creature I have ever met in my life. And the most deserving of good things.

Hey Fishy! For the fanfic asks, E, J, and L?
Hello my favorite gryphon! How nice of you to stop by! I hope the snek babies are doing well this fine evening.
E: What character do you identify with most?  Is there a certain fic of yours that captures these qualities particularly well?
Hmmm... There is a part of me that really heavily identifies with Obi-Wan and what he went through in Phantom Menace in that whole “This mentor who I’ve looked up to and admired and trusted just kind of threw me under the bus for a super-powered nine year old with a bowl cut and I’m kind of salty about it”. I have been experienced those moments and... they hurt but you have to move on because sometimes the people who are supposed to guide you and help you on your way turn out to be shitty at their job and you just have to levitate yourself out of a plasma cooling shaft and cut your problems in half. 
But I, unlike Obi-Wan, do not have a nifty laser sword so I’ll just have to settle for writing about them instead.
But I am also an utter garbage fire at the same time so there is a part of me that also identifies with Anakin “I HAVE ALL THE EMOTIONS ALL THE TIME AND I DON’T WANT THEM BUT I CAN’T GET RID OF THEM AND EVERYONE IS AMAZING AND I’M SHIT AND OBI-WAN LEFT ME ALONE IN A ROOM AND NOW EVERYTHING’S ON FIRE AND I MIGHT HAVE COMMITTED SOME LIGHT TREASON AND/OR A WAR CRIME OR TWO” Skywalker. (And it goes without saying that I have not committed any war crimes... to my knowledge. >___>)
Although unlike Anakin, I am very good at take naps, so there’s that. 
I think the character in my fics that best captures at least my current state of affairs is Padawan Kenobi from Tano and Kenobi because he has a delightful mixture of anxiety, low self esteem (Ahsoka is trying, y’all. She is try so hard and Obi-Wan is just digging his heels in.) and very much wants to help all the people all the time and would really just like Qui-Gon to go away so he can read his Star Wars AU fan fiction in peace thank you very much. 
Also, just like me, Padawan Kenobi is a serial overpacker and will read everything and promptly bring it up at the slightest provocation when talking to anyone. If I could get this precious space peanut to meet Echo the two would never stop talking about cool things they’ve read.
J:  What’s your favorite fanfic trope?  Have you written it?
Uhmm... I’m not sure I have a favorite fanfic trope but I love me some hurt/comfort and sexy shared dreams. And hidden identities. OH! And mutual pining and slow burn and friends-to-mutual-idiots-to-lovers! Boy howdy do I LOVE me some mutual pining and the best efforts of their friends to try and get them together. And by friends and I mean Fives and the rest of Torrent Company because Cody told Ghost Company to stay out of their general’s business. 
Eh-hem. I’m sorry. I got lost. What was I talking about? Tropes in my fics?
Some of these things are on tap for upcoming chapters in After the End and We Three definitely has some mutual pining going on (And, no, it’s not Arulas and Satine. That’s more like respectful adoration from afar and then dedicated and worshipful wooing when the Duchess makes it clear she would welcome his advances.) 
I have written stuff with those tropes but a lot of it hasn’t been posted because... *gestures vaguely* reasons. But should I ever finish Captain Shiny and decide to post that it’s going to have literally every trope I listed in it AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME. I mean, Lily could stop me but other than her NO ONE CAN STOP ME EXCEPT FOR ME AND MY ANXIETY
L:  Which of your fanfics was the most emotionally challenging to write?
Ooof! Way to lull me into a false sense of fluffiness and then blam! Angst! ;D
Tano and Kenobi Season Three because I wrote the bulk of that while Lily and I were going through the diagnosis and early stages of understanding her epilepsy diagnosis. It was a heavy, hard season in general and I was really just starting to understand my own mental health issues so... It was hard. It had to happen in order to tell the story I wanted to tell but... that didn’t make it any easier to tell. The only person who missed Ahsoka more than my readers was me. 
Thanks for stopping by Glare! And everybody else make sure you go read their amazing works HERE!
