Lexi & Cassie | 1.08 Euphoria (2019-)

[avvocarlo]

drag race premiere with all the katy perry glazing was so obnoxious, especially from that one contestant

[bumblesimagines]

i had a great time.

maybe you should go.

Maddy Perez

maybe you should go.

i had a great time.

Pronouns: He/Him/His, M!Reader

You and Lexi shared many similarities as twins. There was the shared love for literature and theater, the longing for Suze's attention, the bitter resentment toward Gus for leaving and never saying goodbye, the feeling of constantly being in Cassie's shadow, and of course, similar physical features.

But, like other siblings, you and Lexi were also vastly different.

Lexi preferred her solitude. She could spend hours alone in her shared bedroom on her laptop creating screenplay after screenplay in an online document. She was clumsy and awkward and despite her writing skills, she had trouble speaking to others without stammering or tripping over her words. Behind nearly every decision and action Lexi made had been a thought-out plan filled with 'what ifs'. You preferred leaps of faith into the unknown where the end destination wasn't visible until the last second. More often than not, you were left scrambling to ensure your ass wouldn't be toast.

Like the night after a party at a classmate's place when you woke up at home in your cozy bed with the slim body of your sister's closest friend cuddled up at your side and you left to stare at the ceiling debating your choices.

On one hand, Maddy Perez was bitchy and confident enough to pretend nothing ever happened between you and her. On the other hand, Nathaniel Jacobs had enough privilege to get away with murder if she ever let it slip. 

So, there you remained, staring up at the ceiling and rethinking the life choices that led up to that moment. If only you hadn't agreed to go to the party with the girls. If only you hadn't agreed to Elliot's stupid challenge of flirting with Maddy to see what the school's queen bee would do. If only you'd encouraged the girls to head to their respective homes instead of crashing at the Howard residence. Then maybe, just maybe, you wouldn't be wondering what the hell Nate Jacobs would do to you if he ever found out you slept with his girlfriend. It wasn't as if you could sneak out and play dumb if she asked. She was in your bed, in your house.

Craning your neck to take a peek at her when she began to stir, you finally noticed her messy appearance. Her maroon lipstick had smudged considerably and from the red markings scattered across your skin, you could only assume how it'd happened. Her glittery, silver makeup appeared in a similar state, and the glitter smudged against your skin, twinkling with the sunlight that poured in from the window. Her hair was in the worst state you'd ever seen it in, and you found your gaze drawn to the light markings on her neck and shoulders. Her dark eyes fluttered open and for the first time since entering high school, you found yourself hoping for some disgust or repulsion in them. But instead, a yawn escaped her lips and she tiredly rubbed at her eyes.

"Morning." You murmured a bit awkwardly and dragged yourself up to rest your back against the headboard. She snorted quietly and brushed her raven hair out of her face, somehow still looking like a model. "About last night-"

"I had a great time. I never thought Cassie's little brother would have it in him. " Maddy began with a coy grin and you waited for a 'but' to follow. "We should do this again sometime." She purred instead and planted a kiss on the corner of your lips. You could practically feel your ego growing, but they weren't the words you wanted to hear from someone whose boyfriend had no problem with destroying the lives of those who even looked at her twice.

"Right." You forced a chuckle. Fuck. "I had a good time too, Mads, but I-I think maybe you should go or at least sneak into the girls' room before they wake up. I just... I think Cassie might get upset if she finds out and I, uh, I don't want to get you in trouble with Nate either." 

She blinked at you and then blinked again. Her perfectly plucked brows slowly furrowed and the tips of her lips dragged downward. You couldn't quite tell what the look on her face meant. Was she disappointed? Hurt? Sad?

"You're kicking me out?" Ah. Of course, she was offended. Maddy getting turned down was an occurrence that only happened on blue moons and even then, whoever rejected her would only end up taking it back moments later. 

"Maddy, I really think it's for the best. This will only end up hurting us both in the end." You tried again, speaking softly as if it'd do anything to convince her.

"And what if I don't care? What if I want to continue this?"

"gonna rule myself out" SHUT UP

me and Jin hit it off y'all I don't know what to tell you he told a joke I laughed we fuck that's how it goes for me every season

Theo isn't like Ozzy because Ozzy had no shame and would just blatantly flirt with us, Theo is more like Noah or Kobi

Jin is gonna be my boy but I'm eyeing Oakley up

Jack can fuck off I guess

Jesus Christ that was a loooong episode, EPISODE TWO HERE WE GO

Theo and Claudia? oh I'm breaking this couple but not the way y'all think 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

first date with Theo: potentially a great friends to lovers dynamics

homeland MENTIONED

well, Theo, I'm really close with my family in Brazil too

first date with Jack: he's cute, I won't lie... and what's that that I heard? HE HAS TWO MUMS LET'S GO LESBIANS

first date with Jin: if he didn't tell me every 5 seconds he's a model, I would never guess.

he's so silly 😭 yeah guys he's ticking my boxes

LIKE the prank? it wasn't the best prank ever but it was kind of funny

last but not least, first date with Oakley: okay local hero vibes. he's kinda serious, I really like him

"I perform better when Oakley is watching" JIN SHUT UP

okayyyy little kissy kiss

Luna didn't like me at all, did she? 😭 I don't blame her, like, I did kiss her man twice already... and I like how she came and talked to me to clear things out but it's obvious fusebox is gonna make her hate me no matter what

I can't deal with Emel's style 💀

me saying I hate cheaters as if cheating hasn't been my game for like, 5 out of 7 seasons 😭😭

okayyy so apparently we are not the first bombshell, cool. so why are we picking who we want to couple up???

Jin is kind of a player oh noooooo

me: I hate cheaters!! also me: sneaks out to meet Jin in the daybeds

Jin: we should always be honest!! also Jin: tells Luna we were just drinking water.

the girl will be DUMPED? alright........

okay, now, where's the Tempting Fate part?

conclusion: it just feels a lot like season 4, except none of the girls acted bitchy towards us like Lexi did. Am I dying of excitement? not even close. but I like Jin so far and also Oakley, so let's see how it goes

Season 17 : Meet the Queens

🌟 I watched it just now and I have OPINIONS! 🌟

+ Acacia Forgot

- Seems like... bitchy... I honestly am not the biggest fan of her vibe and she doesn't seem funny to me. But the outfit was stellar! And she talks a big musical game so I'm excited for that!

+ Arriety

- Her name? Stellar. Her look? Strange and wonderful. Her voice? Pretty and cunt. I CANNOT wait to see her out of drag I bet she's stunning. She's so cute to me, sorry. Also is she Latina? Because this CANNOT be a white woman to me.

+ Crystal Envy

- Her outfit was giving tinsel town and I wasn't a major fan of it admittedly. But she seems sweet, like I want to spend time with her- like she seems really down to Earth, well-spoken, and I look forward to seeing her in design challenges and in the musical challenge. She could be Miss Congeniality to me. Also her wig IS the moment.

+ Hormona Lisa

- Banger name! Oh my god, Southern? She's so cute. Not a big fan of her outfit to be honest, but she seems genuinely fun to me. Also... ADHD queen!

+ Jewels Sparkles

- I want to make fun of the name for being so like... childishly on the nose... but her name was the only one I could immediately remember after the initial introductions so I think she won there. I don't like to compare queens but I will say... she initially makes me think of Valentina just by looking at her and somewhat her voice. She is SO pretty though- it's giving Glinda from Wicked. The lesbian fanfic writers are gonna make good use of her calling it now. Also- ALL these girls saying they give off bitch as first impressions like come on now ladies... we can't ALL be Plane Jane. But Jewels seems so cute and sweet! Also Latina diva!

+ Joella

- Not a big fan of the outfit, but I think I just hate full body jumpsuit/bodysuits in general. I love the eye makeup, it feels very vintage in a way, if that makes sense. Also, she seems rather genuine and down to Earth- she seems so personable I love it. I think this outfit is just not the best. I love how brightly colored she is.

+ Kori King

- The outfit isn't giving water too much, but I like it- I wish it had some blue in it to match the eye makeup. Oh, she's trying to give BODY like good for her- corset and boobs are swell. She's giving cunty but in the best way- like she lowkey a bitch but in a hot cute way. And then she says... "If you really think 'I'm like such a bitch' - NO! You just have fucking botox!" like girl preach you understand me exactly. Sorry guys I am already a Kori fan. Hey, lesbians on my phone can we make her big in the fanfics? Can she be plastered all over AO3? Also her voice is honey molasses smooth... lovely.

+ Lana Ja'rae

- Bottom queen! God for her! Also, I love her name! Her voice is gorgeous in a way I cannot fully describe. She looks so ethereal model angel goddess and then she talks and she just sounds so nice and like... chill. I want her to go far! Also, lesbians, make her go far! I'm a sucker for genuine queens and she seems so genuine- she is NOT faking anything for the cameras. Also- her smile!!!

+ Lexi Love

- I despise the outfit on a visual level but I cannot lie it is well made. That shit is GLUED on it looks like- fit to the body like a glove. Respect. Also... she is giving mother. Like a sweet white mom. I would happily chat with her in line at the grocery store and she seems really approachable- which I love in a queen. Very humble it seems.

+ Lucky Starzzz

- OUTFIT EATS! The entire outfit eats and serves and devours! Me when a drag girl hates minimalism: WAHOO YIPPEE YAY! I love this season of soft-spoken queens, like she has a big personality but is not forcing her entire persona. God bless! I want her happy.

+ Lydia B Kollins

- I like the outfit, I wish she had taller heels or boots though to balance the bottom half of the outfit. I like the subtle alt look of her makeup. She makes puppets? Slay.

+ Onya Nurve

- HER VOICE! CAN I HAVE HER?! HER OUTFIT! HER HAIR! HER MAKEUP! HER SMILE! I NEED HER I MEAN WHO SAID THAT!?!? She's well spoken, knows her stuff, and isn't faking anything. Lesbians. Lesbians after me. Lesbians please. Lesbians we have to hype her up. She dislikes Animal Crossing? Sometimes beautiful queens are wrong, we forgive her. I need to see her on my screen NEOW.

+ Sam Star

- I love the outfit! For some reason staring at her makes me think of Kristin Chenoweth in Wicked. I like that she seems so playful, not focusing on being all bitchy and cruel. She's giving... Southern belle. Also... horny alert. This is said in the most loving way possible.

+ Suzie Toot

- The most BEAUTIFUL goddess out there. I gagged at her outfit and makeup it's sooooo old school musical theatre. She seems somehow so quirky and strange and also... just so unbelievably human and casual. She's like a Muppet brought to life as a human. She belongs as a guest star on the Muppet show. I would love to sit and listen to her talk about her inspirations and ideas, she seems really put together. I want to be her friend.

[luke-hughes43]

will knowing from your texts you are having a shit day and he sets up a little movie night and little fort for her when she gets back and they spend the rest of the night just cuddled together eating her favorite snacks and watching her comfort movies

i could use this right now

~

you were having a shit day. your classes were hard (which you knew because your program was hard) but worked also sucked. your coworkers were being bitchy and you just wanted to go to bed. you had been texting will here and there when you could during work.

will❤️: what time are you off tonight?

you: 7 why?

will❤️: just curious. i'll have dinner for you when you get off. will❤️: do you want me to pick you up?

you: i'm just gonna take the train.

will❤️: i'd rather pick you up. please?

you: fine. but i get to steal a hoodie.

will❤️: ok. how was the day?

you: fine. the usual.

will❤️: you ok baby?

you: yea, just kinda over this shift. i gotta get back to the front but i'll see you at 7. i love you.

will❤️: i love you too baby.

7pm could not have come faster. all you wanted was to hug will. you least favorite coworker, lexi, walks over about 15 minutes before your shift ended and says, "hey y/n, do you think you can clean and reorganize the back shelf before you go? there's so much and i don't wanna do it but the manager says i can't leave until it's done."

"i'll help you start on it. but i'm off in 15 minutes so i will be leaving in 15 minutes. if you have a problem with that, talk to the manager but i'm not staying for an extra half an hour because your too lazy to do your actual job."

"what did you just say to me?" she scoffs. you roll your eyes and start wiping down everything at your station, "you heard me. i will help you start it but i'm leaving at 7. stop pawning off the work that you don't wanna do onto me, right before i leave so you can go early. i have a life outside this place too contrary to popular belief."

"oh yeah? like what?"

"like classes, a boyfriend, i'm in 3 clubs, and i have an internship."

"who would date you?" she scoffs, right as will walks in. you turn to see him and smile for the first time that day. you give him a short wave and sits at a table to wait for you. you point at him and say, "that's my boyfriend. and right on time for the end of my shift. good luck with the back shelf."

you giggle and clock out leaving her in shambles to do her actual job. you walk over to will and relax into his hold, finally feeling at peace with the day. he says rubbing her back, "come on. i gotta surprise for you back at the apartment."

you nod and he leads you to the car and drives you back to his place. during the drive, he's holding your hand and has his playlist on quietly. the drive back to his place was short. and when you get there, you see a mini fort of blankets and pillows set up with the new season of outer banks qued up on the screen and food out on the table.

you turn to face him and he has a small smile on his face. you ask, "what's all this?"

he shrugs, "just a little something. you seemed like you were having a bad day and i wanted to cheer you up." you feel you heart clench at his words and hug him tightly. you mumble against his chest, "this is perfect. thank you babe."

"anytime. now come on, dinner is probably cold and you got me hooked on the show and i need to know what happens."

you giggle and cuddle up to him with your food and blankets as he hits play. about 2 episodes in, you ditch your food and fully curl into will's side. he kisses your head and says, "i hope this made you feel a little better baby."

"it did. your the best will." you say pressing a kiss to his lips. you lean your head on his shoulder and focus back on the tv. you end up falling asleep halfway through the next episode and will picks you up and brings you to bed. he kisses your forehead and says, "sweet dreams beautiful." and then climbs in next you to cuddle while you sleep.

“Treat me like a joke and I’ll leave you like it’s funny.”

Yoo what’s good! The name is Milo, Milo Sancour. Uhh you may of heard of me on the news about me and Jigsaw and all that shit but I’m here so, next topic. (FUCK that freak.)

I go by any pronouns because I don’t really care what you refer to me as.

Uh I’m straight..

Don’t take it to heart if I’m bitchy or anything. Personally I just tell it like it is. If you don’t like my honesty, then leave.

I’m pretty awkward and don’t always reach out first due to that.. but feel free to reach out to me. Or don’t, I don’t mind what you do, I’m not needy.

I’m in college, again.. for marine biology. Uh it’s really embarrassing of how much I like it..

Anyway, thanks for your time. Hopefully I’ll see you around…

(Admin ^^)

ALR I DID IT ^^

My name is Lexi but you can call me Lex.

My other acc: @ll3xx

I was really scared making this because it’s my first time, so I apologize in advance if I do something wrong. Feel free to let me know what I did wrong😭!

I AM actually super awkward with interacting with people because I really don’t know exactly HOW to.

I am okay with NSFW asks.

But just know I’m on the really young side.. so I probably don’t know what some stuff may be😭

Errr I go by she/ her and I am straight. I support LBGTQ tho obviously <33.

However.. Milo is probably isn’t straight. I really need a girl to just BLOW her away.

Milo’s trap was actually a fan favorite.. RVB (reverse bear trap).

Instead of Amanda’s trap, she hand to slide her hand into spinning blades to get the key, in 1 minutes 30 seconds. Which also brings me to her always acting quick. She always tries to help others once she hears about a situation, she can either help or make it worse. Either way she tries.

Again sorry if I mess up!

So that’s about it, hopefully some of you will consider interacting!!!

4x08

Elena being Damon’s lapdog just seriously upsets Caroline. Its also interesting Elena digs her nails into Damon’s back but it’s not to get at blood. Visually with Caroline’s words it feels more like the real Elena is fighting to get from beneath Damon.

Elena does argue a bit with Damon, which is nice to see, even if she agrees with Damon’s request to keep it a secret for one day.

Lol I just can’t deny that I like Caroline judging Bonnie and Shane too. Because while I do like that we get to see Bonnie develop at least a little with Shane, he is creepy.

Stefan is a little bitchy about the sire bond, but he walks it back.

How is Stefan ready to see war and death if he can’t even look at little bit of blood? Lexi’s plan seems a little premature, but I suppose it worked.

Alpha Tyler is hot.

Sry Damon, Elena’s factory settings are hers, team Stefan or not. So Stefan’s still right even if his motives aren’t completely selfless.

Lol Tyler did not hate Klaus until Klaus told him to bite Caroline.

Submit or you die is totally a Klaus ultimatum. But I do dig Tyler getting darker. I wish we got more on the pack he built before they were slaughtered.

Stefan having faith in Damon that’s totally undeserving of is.. like them to a T.

Sorry don’t feel bad for Damon. I do feel bad for Elena because she’s so sure, but they never let her unpack what was real and what was the sire bond, so yeah I think Damon should have freed Elena even though it wasn’t what she wanted.

One of TVD’s strengths imo is that they let the characters feel their way around the world building instead of dumping it, but it’s pretty obvious the lore isn’t fixed on the writers floor making retcons and contradictions with the lore.

Which I don’t care about normally, leaves room for lots of interpretations, but when we bring in someone loosing their free will to a serial rapist- it’s not a line tvd is good enough to walk.

[drleggman]

lexi what thoughts/Thots do you have about beanpole tsukki? 🎤 i've never discussed him before but i certainly do enjoy his bitchy ass. may i have the privilege of picking your brain? 🎤

ROBIN omg… Tsukki….. first and foremost, I want to fight him with my fists. I truly have so many thots about him and I never talk about the because he makes me act so abnormally

He’s such a catty bitch and I love that. A menace to his fellow first years and any on court opponents. He turns it off the second they’re not playing tho and that’s so funny to me like he’s so respectful to his upperclassmen during the training camp arc… all bark no bite. And he likes being bitched at?? 😭 the scene where yams yells at him and he just smirks and calls him cool lives in my head always. I also think it’s funny that his “tragic backstory” is that his brother lied about being on the starting lineup of his hs volleyball team bc it’s SO not deep but it shapes his whole view of the sport bc he holds his brother in such high regard. Like he still calls him niichan he’s so unserious

But yeah. He’s mean, he’s catty, he’s a brat4brat. He’s actually a softie who loves his big brother and dinosaurs and volleyball so so much. “It’s just a game” ass bitch we all know that’s a lie

[umemiyan]

Who is your newest beloathed?? Go off on them! Rant to your heart’s content!!

lexi ur not gonna believe this (sike ur totally gonna believe this) it's that bitch oikawa 😃

so definitely not a /new/ beloathed, just one that keeps coming back to hmu and knock on the door with his dumb face. AND UR PARTLY TO BLAME FOR THIS FOR ALWAYS INDULGING MY THOUGHTS ABOUT HIM!!!!!! (jk ilysm)

no bc i fr wanted to punch him so bad the moment he first came on screen. true unbridled rage and hatred like i wanted to watch him be humbled and cry like a baby (which eventually came true i just....)

it's not fair lexi it's not fair i just want nice boys like suga. why do the bitchy freaks always want my attention

[eiseryn]

Mafia/ Crime AU

Synopsis: Remember that yandere! Vail picture I drew way back? Well this is the collection of notes which are the plot as to why that type of Vail came to be! It is a tragedy so... TW character death? But not in the way you expect? Hopefully? This takes place in a crime/mafia AU (which I am not well-versed in), so note there's not much description about that. These notes are mostly focussed on "romance" and written in a very messy style.

Under the glamour of the city of Mertalline lurks the underdark where organized crime is rampant, and there are many gangs fighting amongst themselves. Rarely do citizens get caught up in their actions, and some aren’t even aware of the darkness that lies underneath… 

A small but prominent group — Lexi’s Red Dragons have been catching the attention of bigger and older groups due to their excellent work. Everyone in this group has insignias/ tattoos of a red dragon with horns on them.

Lexi (boss)

Rose (2nd in command?) + sniper 

Zoey (classic muscle(wo)man/hit(wo)man who goes on the frontlines), Keeper (works behind the scenes, mostly runs the comms line + rarely goes on the front lines. She also often is their strategist.), Vail (often sticks to things in the shadows/stealth missions, but does go on the frontlines) 

They also later recruit Liam as a standard muscleman for their work who also goes on the frontlines 

For funsies Elik + Tiger are here too XD (in my AUs they will NOT be villains) 

Elik is an assassin ofc, classic hitman — he is #1 in terms of damage tying with Lexi.

Tiger is a hacker ofc 

PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO IN THIS GROUP FOR PLOT REASONS

Maric — we need more Runner bodies to fill up the hitmen slots LOL 

Flash — getaway driver :3 

The reason they are powerful is because they also have backing from Maria, one of the richest in the city. This might also mean they do dirty jobs for Maria.

The order they were recruited in:

(Starting members) Lexi, Rose, Vail, Keeper, Elik, Tiger. Then Zoey was recruited, and then Flash, and then Maric, and Liam is the newest recruit. 

Underground doctor group — Elise, Lei, Ceres. 

Elise, who has a mysterious past (would be revealed in plot) as to why she’s an underground doctor. 

It is likely because her company did illegal experimentation/ unethical experimentation and she ran away somehow? She might still be hiding from them.  

Ceres — got caught up with the mess due to her relation to her brother Rose, who hid his criminal activities from her for a long time. Unfortunately, she is now also hiding from whatever forces are going after Rose. 

She often stays indoors, as forced by Rose and Lei so that she stays “safe”. 

In this AU she got trained to shoot — by Lei and Rose. 

Lei, formerly falsely accused of making illegal drugs in her company, and thus had to turn into underground doctoring after this stain in her records. She probably did go to jail for this but got a reduced sentence. 

She is popular because she cooks the cleanest drugs on the black market. They’re so clean people wonder how she got here.

Under her cold bitchy persona there lies a soft heart. 

Carries a gun strapped to her thigh for “self-defense” but also can kill in self-defense. 

Only wears dresses/skirts, almost never wears pants. Often wears heels as well because she used to have a sort of agreed immunity by the gangs as a doctor… until some gangs thought she was favouring a certain group a little too much.

Plot: 

Due to competition from the other gangs/groups, Lexi’s group is being targeted and many other crime groups are trying to wipe them out. 

As an underground doctor, Lei is supposed to remain impartial to those who show on her doorstep — as long as the money is there. But she may have favoured Lexi’s group a little too much and is now being targeted by the mysterious forces after Lexi’s group.

Lexi assigned a bodyguard for her — Vail. 

Vail does his job diligently but Lei isn’t so pleased with this set up (in the beginning) b/c she doesn’t want someone to die for her and she knows people are going after HER life. This responsibility makes her a little anxious.

Lei: Why did they send you? I can shoot better than you. 

Vail: Just think of me as a meat shield then. 

Lei: This is a waste of your time. I can take care of myself.

Vail: Just following orders from the boss (Lexi).

It is hinted that there is a mole in Lexi’s group — they don’t know who at the moment but they suspect someone is betraying them.

Early in the story, Liam might look sus since he is the newest recruit but it will be soon proven false.

Throughout the plot the red herring for the suspect is Maric, who is the second most recent recruit.

Smoking scene (kinda spicy?) 

Aside from her doctoring duties and selling the drugs she makes, Lei often does networking (which Elise is actually better at but Lei feels like she’s at less of a risk than Elise). 

In the alleyway, Lei takes out a cigarette and lights it up and smokes it. As her loyal bodyguard, Vail is standing basically beside her.  

Lei: Hey, you know second hand smoke is bad for you right? 

Vail: Yes, and?

Lei: So stay a little further away. 

Vail: I’m your bodyguard. I can’t protect you if I’m far away. 

Lei stays nothing, because she begins to shiver a little. Nights in Mertalline are cold, especially in sketchy alleyways. And yet she also often wears sleeveless dresses. Vail takes off his suit jacket and moves to put it on her shoulders and she kind of flinches away as he approaches. 

Vail, confused: You said you’re cold. 

Lei: I didn’t ask for your jacket. 

Vail: Yeah, you didn’t. I’m just giving it to you.

She shivers again, so he drapes it over her shoulders.

Lei: It’ll smell like cigarette smoke.

Vail shrugs: Most of the Red Dragons smoke, so it doesn’t matter. 

He doesn’t tell her that he usually stays away from them when they smoke. But she doesn’t ask why his jacket smells devoid of smoke either. 

Sedatives

Vail needs sleeping pills to sleep b/c he has some insomnia → trauma of his job? 

He gets them from Lei usually, so this is how they knew each other before he became her bodyguard.

When it gets really bad to the point it’d become dangerous on the job (unable to sleep at night, falling asleep on the job?), he asks her for better/more effective ones.

She has a new recipe she’s trying out but she’s not sure of the risk/side effects.

He tries them and they’re quite effective, but they don’t really seem like there’s that many side effects … that are obvious.

The amount of dosage needed is lower

And it’s less addictive/ barely addictive at all. 

But they will later find… there is an issue with this new drug

Sometimes after eating these drugs and falling asleep he also has strange dreams… 

In some dreams he is having a spicy time — he’s touching her (hands on thighs? Face? etc.), kissing her, she might be whispering sweet nothings into his ears as her hands wander lower (and also more spicy things happen that I will not describe… in this doc LOL). He probably feels guilty after waking up and wonders why he dreams these things.

In some dreams he’s killing her — sometimes he’s choking her, sometimes he slits her throat, once it was a gun to her abdomen and he watched her bleed out.

He doesn’t realize he only has these dreams when he’s eating the drugs, because dreams are strange like that / doesn’t make the connection. 

He does not tell anyone about these dreams.

These dreams he has… start to bleed into reality… (the spicy good ones not the killing ones) 

Guns

Vail hates guns. That’s the truth. He hates using them and he hates that he needs to use them sometimes. 

Maybe his parents were killed by one, and a gang, so he first became part of the scheme to avenge his parents?

But either way, whenever he doesn’t need them, he will not use them.

Lei also hates guns but it is the only way she can protect herself, being physically weak otherwise.

She is good with them though, it’s so easy to aim and pull the trigger. Concerningly easy → cold bitch Lei let’s go.

Of the doctor ladies she’s killed the most. I think maybe Ceres has killed more than Elise directly though :3 

Maybe their mutual dislike in guns is revealed in the story and this brings them closer

Lei: Why didn’t you use your fucking gun? You almost died!

Vail: … I…

Vail: I hate using them. Sorry. 

Lei: … 

Lei: (sighing) That makes two of us. 

Flash saving Lei :3 

This might happen very early in the story — one of the first events, which is why they discover she’s being targeted. 

Lei is walking in the sketchy alleyways and she notices someone is following her, so she begins to run and they also run after her. There are possible gunshots that she manages to dodge. She also shoots back and manages to land 1 shot on her pursuer, which is why she escapes from the situation. 

Coincidentally, Flash pulls up and tells her to jump in so they escape the situation.

This high stress situation → getting saved by Flash → makes her very grateful to Flash and she finds herself trusting him more quickly/easily than she should.

Although, she doesn’t seem to be aware of this being the reason why, as Flash seems to have high emotional/social intelligence

She does find that he seems to always say things that SHE likes to hear, but she feels like he’s not like this with others, which reassures her a little. 

He also gives her rides sometimes when he’s not on jobs from Lexi. He even opens the door for her when he does so like a gentleman. 

She ends up talking to him more than she anticipates because he makes the situation seem comfortable. 

Liam being scrutinized as the newbie 

Liam gets recruited because his goal is similar to Lexi’s goal — to get rid of the scum of the city (Maybe?) — him to make the city a better place for his brother, Lexi just because she is a hero (main protag energy). 

Other than Zoey, the rest of them were not so keen about Liam at first and there was a bit of a distrust for him.

Zoey and Liam might be childhood friends in this because their homie energy is too strong. 

He also quickly hit off with Tiger + Elik — probably didn’t get along with them at first, but after doing a few jobs with them… they found out they got along quite well, especially him and Tiger. 

Rose might have been one of the people who distrusted Liam the most at first, but warmed up to him eventually when they slowly found out about each other.

Keeper probably started out neutral with him but like tsundere, he does end up having a place within her circle. 

Maric, Vail, and Flash were pretty neutral about him. I imagine most of them would still be neutral about him, but more accepting of them. 

As the newbie, he was first to be accused/suspected of being the mole, but Rose, Elik, and Vail probably all took turns tailing him and found his sneaking around was him trying to stalk his bro

Maric as the red herring

He is the second suspect after Liam is “cleared” of his suspect status. 

Personality wise he’s a little rash → jump into action type. I also think he’s the type to follow instructions / not think too much because he’s just the muscle. Other people with bigger brains can do the thinking. 

But the fact he follows instructions well makes him more sus maybe? 

Maybe sometimes he even messes up a little, which makes him a prime suspect.

I have no idea why he was cleared of being the suspect but they just find out he’s kinda just a guy. And then they’re like why did we even suspect him… he’s the most normal jock type person ever.

Protection

For like the first month-two months nothing really happens when Vail is bodyguarding Lei so they lessen the amount of that so he can work on other things Lexi needs him to do. 

One time she’s walking alone and she actually does get attacked. She manages to take down her pursuer but also gets injured in the process — luckily just a sprained ankle (from running in heels LOL) 

When they inspect the pursuer’s dead body, they do find an insignia of a rival gang/ tattoo on him — Rats maybe? XD 

She does stop wearing heels as frequently after and opts for lace-up boots.

He finds her at the clinic later where she is doing her own treatment. 

Vail: Sorry… 

Lei: It wasn’t your fault. We got too comfortable since they didn’t make any moves. 

She sighs, taking off the ice pack from her ankle and binding it to reduce the swelling: I guess you’ll be stuck with me a little longer. 

Vail: …

Lei: Well, don’t get too excited there. 

Vail: Don’t worry, I’ll protect you next time. So it won’t happen again.

Lei laughs a little: That is definitely supposed to be your job. I’ll be looking forward to it then~

He’s just keeping his eyes on the treasure

Since he often walks behind her and slightly to the side of her, when he’s not paying attention to his surroundings, he’s watching her from behind. 

Lei: You could stare at my ass and legs less often, you know. 

Vail, surprised: How did you know that? 

Lei: … Well I didn’t but now I definitely do. 

Vail: … 

(She’s always wearing like short dresses and skirts — sometimes with stockings, sometimes her legs are bare — anyways there is a reason he is looking) 

Lei: What do you like better?

Vail: What?

Lei: Stockings or bare legs? 

Vail: Stockings  (because it’s more fun to imagine taking them off :3 and it looks less cold) 

Lei: No hesitation… Alright. 

And then starting the next day she starts to wear stockings/ tights more. Vail doesn’t ask but she explains it like

Lei: Since you’re guarding me, I thought that I should give you some motivation, y’know. You can look — you just can’t touch. 

Liam in this world

In this AU, similar to canon, Liam would do anything to make sure his younger bro Alba has a good future so after their parents’ death, he turned to crime to make a living for Alba. 

Possibly went to jail a few times for pettier crimes. Eventually starts doing organized crime as a grunt/hitman. 

Alba eventually found out about Liam’s criminal activities and cut Liam out (same as the canon LOL) but Liam is okay with this more so because he wants Alba to live the best life he can, untainted and pure as he is. 

Liam still kinda stalks Alba creepily though, whenever he can or hires someone to do it/ gets someone from the gang to do it (maybe Rose or Elik? — whoever is willing)

Tiger + Elik 

The twins, for as long as they knew, only had each other in life. So it makes sense that after all these twenty-something years, they still stick together as much as possible.

Part of the story for them in this AU is to learn that yes, they will always be important to each other, but also learning that they can be independent of each other

Liam gets close to both of the twins in different ways! 

Elik cuz they’re both big bros. And they’re bros. And maybe more than just bros XD 

Tiger because they just have similar ideologies and their personalities mesh well together so they’re very close friends! Liam also becomes her big bro (cute vibes only)

the twins are still very girlboss in this AU so they are like some of the #1 in Lexi’s group. (obviously). 

Rose + Ceres

In this AU, Rose and Ceres grew up together and their parents were really bad so Rose took Ceres and escaped as soon as he could (maybe he was 18 and Ceres 10) 

Rose had to turn to crime to ensure he could raise Ceres. But he would do anything for his precious younger sister…

They’re quite close in this AU but Ceres feels guilty that her brother went to such lengths so that she could grow up… and Rose feels guilty he got Ceres involved in this mess.

At some point Ceres almost got taken which made Rose have a bad time and break down but it’s okay she was okay in the end and Rose trained her in shooting after so she could protect herself

She doesn’t like using guns but she’ll do anything to ease her bro’s burden

Ceres does feel like a little trapped bird in a cage sometimes though… it suffocates her a little. 

Ceres + Elise + Lei 

After prison (?) Lei had to turn to doing underground doctoring which was pretty dangerous since she was a lone young woman. Elise heard about her and asked if she wanted to work with her (and Ceres)

Of course there is no reason not to accept so Lei did and thus they opened their own little underground clinic, mostly catering to the organized crime groups.

Lei got particularly close to Ceres because they were close in age and they spend the most time together in the clinic. Ceres because she’s not that allowed to leave and Lei because she’s cooking drugs. 

Sometimes Lei would joke with Ceres that she could be her older sis (instead of Rose LOL) 

Ceres: My older sister? Like… my sister in law?

Lei: ABSOLUTELY NOT. 

Lei makes a disgusted face: I love you, Ceres, but I would not marry Rose for you. I’m sorry. 

Ceres: A-ah… o-okay… 

Lei: We don’t have to be sisters by law. After all, when has the law ever done something good for us? 

Lei: Instead… we can be sisters by oath (smiles)

Ceres smiles back: Okay… sisters by oath.

Sometimes Lei helps Ceres sneak out… because if Ceres is with her she’ll be safe right? :) Lei will protect her.

An intended promise

Lei: You know, I don’t think it would be too bad, if the three of us stuck together for the rest of our lives.

Ceres: Y-yeah? You think?

Lei nods: The prospects aren’t high, but… 

Ceres: Pro-promise?

Lei: Well as long as I don’t croak early and the two of you don’t get married, yes I promise.

Ceres: D-don’t say that! We will all be fine…

Lei: …

Lei: Yeah…. 

(in her thoughts) Hopefully… 

Since the red dragons all carry red dragon tattoos/ insignias… I think it would be cute if the doctor gals also have their own little symbol they carry. I have not decided what this symbol is, but probably a bird like a dove (Elise is an eagle, Lei a swan, and Ceres in this AU is a bird in a cafe. Doves are supposed to represent peace). It’s probably a little keychain though. 

Elise hangs it on her stethoscope

Ceres on car keys (when she is allowed to go out LOL)

Lei’s is on her keys to the clinic. 

It would be a shame… if anything happened to anyone in this group. They are very tight-knit and all of them play very important parts in the running of their little underground clinic… 

Big Bro squad

Liam, Rose, Elik. They hang out a lot and do missions a lot together XD they can all relate that they are big bros who would do anything for their younger sibs…

POSSIBLY AN OT3??? Age gap between Rose and the other 2 is concerning but let’s handwave this for funsies. Maybe they are just FWB who knows this is a spicy dark AU so anything goes.  

THEY CAN ALSO JUST BE SUPER GOOD FRIENDS. Not everything has to be a ship. I said. Me LOL. But no, I just want them to be a squad for sure. 

Ceres gets kidnapped by one of the rival gangs.

Against Lexi’s wishes, they (Rose, Lei, Vail) go on a rescue mission to get her back.

They might also convince Liam + Elik/Tiger for this rescue mission due to big bro squad camaraderie. 

It’s very dramatic and epic — stealth mission after all to break in and get the girl

Rose actually doesn’t miss many shots this time and he snipes a bunch of people. He first takes out some guards at a distance before the others go in. 

Liam goes in guns/sword ablazing —what is stealth? He tanks again.

Elik is very calculated about the way he approaches this. He doesn’t need to stealth though cuz everyone will die as soon as he steps in #girlboss 

Vail stealths… it’s in his kit to ambush people from the shadows. 

Lei is also just shooting cuz she does not have stealth. She even wears pants for this mission. (She only wears pants when she’s serious LMAO) 

They get Ceres, who is in a little room on her own, knocked out (sedative), tied up to a chair, and gagged. She is otherwise okay.

It is concerningly easy to get to Ceres once they kill everyone and the way back seems unusually clear… 

As if it were a trap :3 Or a set up for something :3 

Lexi shakes her head at them when they return… saying there will be repercussions for their actions…

After this rescue mission, Vail and Lei grow a little bit closer. They start to talk more over the few months and sometimes also borderline flirt. This flirting is in Lei's personality though — she’s used to sucking up a little.

Jacket

Vail, putting his jacket on her again because she’s cold: Why do you never bring a jacket?

Lei: It wouldn’t go well with my outfit. Besides, why bring my own jacket when you’ll give me yours~ 

She’s right though LOL he will give her his jacket.

Collar

I just think this would be hot. There's no particular reason why Vail ended up with a collar from Lei. It’s a very simple choker — like a stretchy durable piece of durable fabric with a silver clasp… TRUST ME BRO 

Someone may have called Vail Lexi’s dog or Lei’s dog or just a dog in general

Lei: Don’t listen to that drivel. You aren’t anyone’s dog. 

Vail: Well… essentially I am your guard dog right now.

Lei: Bodyguard. You’re a bodyguard.

Vail: I dunno, sometimes I think dogs are better than people…

Lei: … You’re not wrong about that… but… 

Lei: What, you want a collar, too?

Vail: If it’s a gift from you. 

around here is where Lei starts to suspect something is wrong. 

She still gives him the collar though :3 cuz it’s sexy.

Lei: Since you asked so nicely, here. 

Lei: It’s really simple though, so you can throw it away if you want. 

For some reason, Vail is exceptionally touched by such a small tiny action. 

Vail: I won’t. 

And then he puts it on right away. He only takes it off when he’s showering, and cleans it immediately if it ever gets bloodied. 

Name 

In the beginning, he simply called her “Doc”. 

But at some point during the bodyguarding (close to like 4 months and almost every day too?) this changed.

Lei: You know, you don’t have to keep calling me “Doc”. I’m not your doctor right now.

Vail: Yeah? What do you want to be called?

Lei: Just call me Lei, at least we are alone. 

Since it is her request, who is he to refuse? 

Jealousy

canon Vail doesn’t get jealous but this AU’s Vail… is a spicy meatball also for legitimate plot reasons. 

Specifically, this event takes place where after Lei treats a patient, they’re extra touchy with her, which she shuts down quickly, but the patient is generally being a sleaze? 

Lei asks Vail to show the patient out the door and he does, but as soon as he and the patient are in the alleyway, he kills the patient in cold blood.

He doesn’t even realize —  he’s doing this subconsciously — until the blood is on his sword and hands.

He just realizes after that, he didn’t like how the person was treating her… and in cold anger he decided that such a person was not needed in the world.

He has to get rid of the body first before returning

When he comes back a little later, Lei notices the blood on him and after confirming it’s not his injuries… she realizes he’s just killed someone.

Lei: Who was it? That you killed? 

Vail: …

Vail: The guy just now. 

Lei: Why? Was he from a rival gang?

Vail: … He touched you. 

This is more evidence that allows Lei to realize something is wrong with Vail. 

She used to feel safe with him… but now, she just feels dread… and fear. 

“More Addictive than Any Drug”

Lei is not blind, she notices him looking at her mouth, so she says, mostly as a joke. 

Lei: You want to kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid.

Vail: And what if I do?

Lei raises her eyebrow, clearly not expecting him to admit it. With a smirk, she beckons him forward with a finger. 

He obliges, and once he’s right in front of her, she pins him to the wall, presses her knee between his legs and then leans in to kiss him, hard. 

“Fuck” he thinks. Because her kisses are more addictive than any drugs he’s taken before. And he suffers withdrawal symptoms every time. 

His fantasy (dreams) and reality blurs a little when it comes to this. But a dream is no longer enough… 

I don’t know where this scene fits in the plot but it’s spicy so it has to happen. Also that previous point is important. :3 

“First Time”

Things get spicy real fast… not sure why this happened but I need it for plot reasons… plot reasons XD 

Maybe they just gave into the desire — what is self control when there’s always a chance you’re going to die the next day? 

The other option is she got drunk somehow (maybe the stress of the situation) and called him up LOL cuz she has a diff personality when she’s drunk. 

Canon Vail would not do anything to her while she’s drunk/ under the influence, but this AU’s Vail has a reason why he’d give in… 

It's Vail's first time so it’s still spicy in that regard because Lei is still leading. 

Spicy things happen and he finally gets to touch the legs and thighs he sometimes looks at. 

He whispers the words "I love you" before he passes out which makes Lei freeze up and realize she’s made a huge mistake. 

If she’s drunk this is what causes her to have a moment of being not drunk → cold water to her face

Spicy scene: Morning after 

He wakes up alone the morning after and finds no notes left for him or anything — no trace of what happened last night. He goes to find her, but when he goes to her workplace, he finds Liam standing outside the door. 

Vail: What are you doing here?

Liam: I’m Doc’s bodyguard.

Vail, frowning: No, I’M her bodyguard. 

Liam: Not as of this morning. Ask Lexi for details. 

Vail, bristiling with anger: Are you fucking with me right now? 

The door opens and it is Lei who has her hands on her hips. For once she’s wearing pants: You two are making a ruckus while I’m trying to do my work. 

Vail: Why the fuck is Liam your bodyguard now?

She seems to hesitate for a little bit but she exchanges nods with Liam and finally invites Vail to come inside the room where she’s working on drugs.

Vail: Lei-

Lei: Doc. Call me Doc. 

Lei: … Last night was a mistake, Vail. 

Vail is deeply hurt by these words: What do you mean a mistake? 

Lei: … A temporary lapse in judgment. We were simply giving into our animalistic desires. 

Vail: Animalistic desires? I said I love you.

Lei: … Love doesn’t exist for people like us, Vail. I’m sure you didn’t mean it. You just got caught up in the moment. 

Vail: What if I mean it? 

Lei: You don’t.

Vail: How would you know that? 

Lei: … 

Lei: … Well, either way, you definitely can’t be my bodyguard anymore. 

Vail: Why not?

Lei hisses: It’s for your own sake. This is supposed to be a job for you — you can’t just bring your personal feelings into it. 

Vail: Then what was last night supposed to mean? 

Lei: … You’re right, I’m sorry. If I had known it was your first time I wouldn’t have played around with you.

Vail: … Is that all? Just that you wanted to “play around” a little? 

Lei: …Yeah. That’s all. 

He is silent, the hurt stinging, so he says nothing. They both stay in this tense silence for a long time — the clock continues to tick tick tick on the wall and it is the only noise for a few long minutes. 

Lei, more gently: You can love anyone you want, Vail. It just can’t be me. 

“I don’t want anyone else” Vail thinks, “I want you.” But he doesn’t say this. He cannot, because he knows she would shut him down even further. He simply clenches his fists. 

“Alright.” He says instead. What else can he do? 

Lei seems to smile at him, but it doesn’t quite reach her eyes. 

Lei: I need to do my work now, and I’m sure Lexi has tasks for you to do. Let Ceres or Elise know if you want any drugs on the way out though. 

His voice is empty when he says his second “alright". And it takes every fibre of effort in his being to walk away, but he manages to leave. 

He doesn’t see how when she turns away, her hands are shaking as they grip the glassware she’s working with. 

Withdrawal symptoms 

Time passes. They do their jobs separately. 

Everytime he gets injured (and he seems to get more injured during this time, especially because he gets distracted a lot and keeps thinking about her), he goes to their clinic hoping to even just get a small glimpse of Lei but it’s always Ceres and Elise who treat him. 

Ceres treats him silently and rarely, only for minor injuries (first aid lower than Elise + Lei)

Elise is usually the one who treats him, and usually tells him Lei is 1) not here, 2) busy, 3) seeing another patient. 

Elise usually doesn't say much but once she tells him that he needs to stop coming here to try to see Lei because she has been firm she won't see him. 

He asks why.

Elise: Lei… she thinks it's best for you if you can forget about her as quickly as possible.

Vail: I'm trying but it's not working.

Elise: Hmm… clearly. But she is right, whatever you’re feeling… it isn’t as you think it is.

Vail: Why does everyone keep telling me what I should feel? 

Elise: … 

Elise: Our advice comes with experience. Of course I cannot control what you feel, but, just err on the side of caution when it comes to these things. 

Elise: After all… this world is cruel to those who show weakness.

Vail: I'm strong, I can protect her.

Elise: Maybe you are. But you haven't considered that if you’re the one showing weakness… she might be the one to get hurt.

Elise no longer elaborates as the treatment has ended. On the way out she does say something else

Elise: If you really do care about her… it’s best to stay away. 

Vail still doesn’t understand but just generally feels bad as he continues to stay away. There’s a constant sort of small pit in his stomach as he’s separated from her and even though spending time away should make it fade — it doesn’t… 

It is also heavily hinted during this period that the sedative he gets from her has trace amounts of the yandere/obsession drug in it (but if you see previous parts, this has been foreshadowed). This is why he is extra obsessive / why he developed feelings so fast. He is not aware of this at the time and Lei began to suspect it later. 

Elise has also been told by Lei of the issue and now she is seeing it in action.

Re-meeting

Liam gets busy / assigned to do stuff with Tiger + Elik (in terms of trying to crack down whom exactly are the rival gangs trying to take them down) so Vail is reassigned to be Lei’s bodyguard

It has been ~2-3 months and the first re-meeting starts off a bit tense… 

From Vail’s POV he is immensely excited though — as though it’s a natural body response from him and he cannot explain why. 

Imagine like a dog wagging his tail — but he tries his best to hide this. 

Lei is like: Oh good, you seem to be well. 

Vail, in pain is like: Yeah I got over it. Don’t worry about it/ about me. 

He is lying, but he got better at hiding it… he used to not lie at all… but he has to now. 

Because in his eyes, being just a bodyguard is better than being nothing at all… 

Lei: … Good. I’m glad to hear it. 

She thinks MAYBE the drug is wearing off and she’s relieved but she’ll still work on the “cure” if she can. 

She later finds out the drug has not worn off. 

She does get attacked eventually by a group of people durin this time. 

Vail does his bodyguard duties all cool and he gets injured in the fight, so he gets treatment by her ASAP.

He goes unconscious from blood loss but when he wakes up, he finds himself lying in a bed and she’s like there with him, asleep on the floor beside the bed.

For extra spiciness she might be holding his hand, which she planned to retract before he woke up but she fell asleep from the hard work of making sure he didn’t die. 

He’s like “don’t play around with my feelings like this” but he takes the hand that’s holding his and kisses it.

She doesn’t wake up. 

Because of fatigue, he does end up being able to fall asleep and when he wakes up the second time, she is gone, like she was never there to begin with. 

Tiger finally breaks into the systems of the rival gangs and they figure out the main gangs that are after them. Lexi + Keeper + Rose and some of the higher ups decide it’s time to get rid of them because they’ve been a pain in the assforever → final battle/ big confrontation time. 

They’ve been doing plot stuff in the BG but I’m not actually that well-versed with mafia AUs so just know the plot is going on in the BG but… the action is NOT the focus of this story :3 it’s just the setting for something else I want to convey. 

“Dinner” 

She’s changing his bandages for the last time before the final battle — he’s basically healed enough to fight and there is no choice. 

Vail: If I live, let’s go out for dinner. 

Lei: … That’s a death flag. You shouldn’t say those things.

Vail: We deal with death flags all the time. I’ll be fine. 

(his thoughts) And as long as you’re alright… then that is what matters. 

She is silent for a long time. Because he can’t see her expression right now since her face is downturned, he has no idea what her face looks like. Is it angry like it has been before? Is it disgusted? Is it sad? He will never know. 

Lei: … Maybe. (she finally answers very quietly. She is still looking down and shadows obscure her face.)

Vail: Maybe?

Lei: I didn’t outright say no.

Vail: If that’s the case then it just might be enough to get me through this. 

She doesn’t reply. (She is too scared that she will say her true feelings if she opens her mouth, so she keeps it shut). 

There’s a super epic final battle with Lexi’s group vs some other gangs. Lexi’s group wins of course with no casualties — although there were some close ones.

almost deaths: Keeper, Zoey, Rose, Maric, Tiger

The rival gangs found the hideout that Keeper + Tiger were in doing comms work and hacking work, but they manage to escape. Maric was probably the one with them, and so also got caught in the crossfire. They then join the main battle, Flash brings them. 

They are injured so Elise/Lei/Ceres patch them up… well as best as they can cuz this is semi-realistic and there are no magical regen stims. 

Maric is the most injured, he unfortunately cannot participate in the battle after but he did his job of guarding their squishy girlies so y’know give him some applause please. 

Then both Keeper and Tiger go in guns ablazing as well — when I’m talking epic I’m saying gunshots explosions everywhere LOL 

Keeper steals one of Zoey’s shotguns and uses that. 

Zoey and Rose almost get taken out by a bomb / explosion/ cave in but somehow Liam saves them (just like in the canon universe) 

Lexi is of course on the frontlines with the other DPSes — Elik, Zoey, Liam, Vail. They are all girlbossing their way through this. 

Ceres even goes out and shoots some people — I imagine she takes down someone who almost killed Rose. Sibling bond uwu

Elise is in the corner providing medical care. Lei and Ceres are with her — although Lei is shooting at people who come too close XD. 

“Support? Yeah I support the enemy’s right to die” — Lei, probably.

Lei probably ends up fighting a lot/ not standing in the corner in the end cuz she is capable of that. 

Everyone lives :3 well except for the gangs they decimate. They uh destroy a lot of gangs one by one… it’s only the remnants that are really in the final battle, trying to get revenge on their fallen brethren. Lexi’s group has been slowly whittling the forces of the scummiest over time. 

They celebrate after with drinks + dinner party 

People who drink: Lexi, Rose, Elik, Tiger, Liam, Zoey, Vail

People who do not drink/ drank nonalcoholic beverages: Maric (he’s in the hospital bed LOL) , Flash, Ceres, Keeper, Lei, Elise (she’s watching over Maric LOL) 

Lei leaves early to “go sleep” but she’s really going to work on developing a cure for the Bessenheit symptoms and Vail notices and tells her he’ll walk her home. 

She’s like “You don’t have to guard me anymore.” (thinking the gang situation is resolved)

He’s like “I want to, though.”

Again, she is silent and feeling hella guilty.

During this time he asks her about dinner again and she’s like “... I will think about it carefully. But I also have something that I might need to tell you so please give me a few days.” 

This sounds more hopeful than he was expecting so he’s like “Alright. I will wait.”

And so she gets dropped off at her workplace?, but they don’t notice there is a car following them with someone watching very carefully… 

The “End”

They think because they uncovered and eliminated the groups that were after Lexi’s group they’re safe now. 

A few days pass uneventfully and some of their guards lower, although strangely, they never discovered the mole.

Lei still hasn’t responded to Vail’s dinner request. She is too afraid and she knows that his feelings are all but lies, so she doesn’t want to complicate it, but she’s thinking of telling him why / informing him of the likely contaminant in his sedatives. She’s already stopped giving him those sedatives but knows the effects are still lingering based on his reactions toward her… 

She’s considering telling him why she cannot accept the dinner request after she goes to black market that day.

Lei gets into the familiar car of the gang’s getaway driver, Flash… she had asked him prior to take her to black market so she could get the materials for a drug she’s trying to figure out what is wrong with Vail’s sedative.

He opens the backseat door for her, which he has done for her before so it is not unusual and she’s busy thinking about what to do with the Black market.

But instead of going to the driver’s seat, he overpowers her with his strength and injects her with a sedative she had given to him days prior… 

Specifically he sometimes does deliveries for her + maybe for the gang in general, so it was not unusual for him to have access to the materials she was using… 

It is also possible he simply managed to steal one, but I think it’s spicier if he simply got Lei to trust him enough to believe his word that Lexi or someone else needs 1 dose of the sedative. 

She thinks: Fuck, the mole was Flash all along… I shouldn’t have trusted him… 

And she goes unconscious… 

When she wakes up, she finds herself in an unfamiliar location — a dirty and abandoned barn, likely far away from the city. She is tied up and cannot move, Flash looks at her with surprise. Her gun is in his hands, pointed at her head.

Flash: Thought that sedative was supposed to knock out a grown man for 12 hours. 

Lei: It should. But I built up a resistance to it. I like to be prepared.

Here it is revealed she also needs sleeping pills in this AU. Cuz trauma. 

Flash: I’m surprised you’re not screaming your lungs out. I didn’t gag you. 

Lei: What’s the point in that? No one will come save me.

Flash: Oh, you’d be surprised.

Lei: …

Lei: Well, what? Is this where you’re going to monologue like a villain? 

Flash: A villain? 

Flash: Believe me when I say, I didn’t want to do this. 

Lei: Whether you wanted to or not, it doesn’t change that you did. Intentions mean nothing in this world, only actions matter. 

Flash: That’s true. But I am sorry. It wasn’t supposed to be you. It could have been anyone else. But I’m out of time and my hands are tied.

Lei: Say whatever you want to make yourself feel better. But it doesn’t change what happened.

She tries to struggle a little more in the ties, but she truly doesn’t have the strength to escape. And she’s tired, and she’s cold. She wasn’t lying when she said no one will come to save her. 

Lei (tired voice): Why don’t you get it over with?

Flash: Maybe I’m just trying to buy you some time.

Lei: (scoffs) Buy me some time? Or maybe you’re just having fun trying to torture your prey before her death? 

Lei (sigh): Just kill me already…

Flash: You really that eager to die? 

Lei: Don't really have a choice here, do I? 

Flash: Maybe, not. But what about those you’ll leave behind? Don’t you think about them at all? 

Lei: … 

Lei: That’s not my responsibility. 

Flash: Maybe, but what might they think? Elise? Ceres? 

Flash: … Vail? 

Lei: … 

Lei: They shouldn’t think anything of it at all. We are all not strangers to death. They will be fine. 

Lei: Please… just get it over with, Flash. 

She finally hears the safety click OFF and wonders how long Flash has been keeping her here for, without just shooting her while she was unconscious. He could have even done so in the car, or could have dropped her body off a cliff. Maybe he was not lying in saying he tried to buy some time for her, or maybe he was just getting off to torturing her a little before her death. That is something she will never know.

As she closes her eyes and braces herself for the gunshot that will finally end it all, she wonders how much of her words she’s just said to Flash are lies and how much is the truth. 

She hears the ringing gunshot

But she feels nothing. 

There’s a crashing noise of wood breaking and when she opens her eyes, she sees Vail crashing through the barn door, eyes blazing. He is holding a gun in his hands as well — the very weapon he hates. 

They exchange fire for a while, but Flash is fast and dexterous and Vail is not adept with his gun. Vail also manages to dodge the gunshots Flash fires at him. 

But unfortunately, Flash manages to land a shot at Lei who is still tied up and hits something in her abdomen. 

Through the red mist of pain, she sees Flash mouth the words “I’m sorry” and he promptly runs away.

You can see the internal conflict where Vail starts to run after Flash, but he sees the amount of blood pouring out of Lei and goes over to her instead.

He holds her in her arms but she’s bleeding too much… A doctor cannot administer first aid on herself, and he’s essentially useless as she’s quickly bleeding out. Even if Elise were here herself, the wound is in such a vital area it would only really be a miracle that would allow her to live. 

Lei: Why… did you come?

Vail: To save you. 

Lei: Sorry… you wasted… your time. 

Vail: Don’t say that I’ll get you to Elise and you’ll be alright… you’ll be alright. 

Lei: Not enough time. 

Vail: Save your strength. You just need to hold on a little longer. 

Lei laughs bitterly but it turns to hacking coughs and she coughs up blood.

Lei: That dinner… I wanted…

Vail: You can tell me later. We have to get you out of here. 

Lei: I wanted… to say…yes.

Vail: Don’t say these things… why did you- 

Lei: But… your feelings… it’s all… a lie… I'm sorry.

Lei: Vail… Forget me… and.. goodbye…

And thus her green eyes flutter shut and they do not open again. She lets out the softest and shakiest sigh — her last breath, and no more air enters or escapes her lips. Like a candle extinguished out by the tiniest breath, the life in her has been snuffed out. This bud has wilted before it had the chance to bloom.

Vail: Lei?

There is no reply. Only the sounds of his own harsh breathing.

Still holding her in his arms, he bends his head over and tries to listen for a heartbeat. There is none.

Alone in the barn, holding the body of the woman he loved, Vail bends his head over and cries. 

He could not protect her. 

He could not save her.

 “The Truth”

He brings the body back so Elise and Ceres and the others can see, holding it like it is something precious. 

Before they burn (?) the body, he gently brushes her hair from her face. If it weren’t for the blood, it would look like she’s sleeping. 

Ceres is heavily distraught and unstable over this so they have to sedate her over this. She straight up breaks down when she sees the body.

Elise seems unaffected on the outside but she breaks down when she's alone later. 

Elise: I see. 

and that is all that you get from her. 

Later (maybe a few days later?) Elise shows Vail certain pages from Lei that were in her lab notebook. They state:

"The sedative I have been giving Vail seems to have trace amounts of another drug. Elise suspects it has been contaminated with Bessenheit or related family of drugs. Likely, raw materials have been contaminated with it, possibly from Chemical Y because it is a liquid reagent that may have Bessenheit dissolved into it. Further investigation is required.” 

There are many drawings of what appear to be metabolic pathways of how drugs affect human systems, lots of complicated diagrams of the brain, thyroid, etc. and very neat handwriting. There are also various chemical names and recipes listed. 

There is a list of objectives written on the side:

Determine the contaminant → likely Bessenheit 

Determine the source of contamination → likely raw materials? Check out Black Market? 

Determine a possible solution to reverse the lingering effects of the drug → possibly xxx hormone pathway + xyz metabolic pathway + chemical X 

Tell Vail about the situation when prior objectives are mostly complete.

A sticky note says: Go to Black market — Flash — xx pm. It is dated for the day she died.

Elise tells him about a drug her and Lei’s former company was developing that causes the taker of the drug to develop an obsession with the giver of the drug… = Bessenheit 

Elise also tells him since he’s only been getting trace amounts, it should not affect him as much as it did the other test subjects, but clearly, he suffers from some symptoms. 

She explains she and Lei started suspecting that he was under the influence of this drug around 3-4 months ago, hence why they had him stay away from her until they could find a solution to it but… unfortunately they were still working on it when Lei died. 

She does not explicitly tell him Lei was looking into this that day she died, but he can see from the sticky note that was definitely the case. 

So how much of his feelings were real and how many were from the drug? There is no clear distinction between them — it is muddled and murky… 

Lei died believing that his feelings were all a lie fed to him by the drug. That is why she could not accept them, because she believed they were not real. 

She died believing that she ruined something for him when she was trying to help him (with the sedative). She died believing that it was all her fault… 

She told him to forget her because she wants him to no longer be affected by the drug. She wants him to live his own truth, untainted by all the lies. 

He will never be able to accomplish her dying wish to forget about her… Is that due to the drug or did it simply enhance his true feelings? 

They will never find out this truth… because she no longer exists in this world.

✉️ ➡ @mecwmellc (alex karev), being aware of your crap and actually overcoming your crap are two very different things.

lexie grey wasn't a bitchy person. in her high school year book, almost 98% of her peers described her as a ray of sunshine, always ready to lend a hand in algebra and invite you to sit next to her at the cafeteria, no matter if you'd ever met before that or not. that's who lexie grey was, an inveterate optimist and people-pleaser, always looking out to make others feel good without taking stock of her boundaries (or lackthere of). but alex karev? alex brought out the bitch in her, alright. he pushed her buttons so effortlessly, buttons she didn't even know she had, to the point of blurting out really mean but absolutely truthful things she'd sworn to herself to never say out loud. things like her exasperation with everyone's judgements about her wrecked family life.

❝ you speaking from experience? ❞ she didn't even look at him, fiery chocolate eyes darted on a chart as her cheeks began to flush in self-embarrassment. the intern let out a sigh in her failed attempt to regain civil composture, ❝ i'm sorry, i didn't mean to jump at you, i just ― i appreciated it, you being there, that night you took me home and found my dad like that. you didn't have to do it, and it was a very nice thing to do, but i told you: from here on out, i don't want to talk about my dad. not with you, not with anyone, not even meredith. i was already forced to join the dead mothers club sooner than i would've expected, i'm not ready to join the adult childs of alcoholic parents club now, too, so, please ― as good as your intentions may be, just stay out of it. ❞ that should've been the end of it, but something inside lexie, let's call it curiosity, led her to ask one more thing before letting sleeping dogs lie, ❝ why do you care so much anyway? i thought that to everyone that's remotely close to meredith i was just the stalker, freaky intern that ruined her life by simply existing. ❞

Jet & Alexis Argent Headcanons

( edit: I am so sorry, I thought that I had posted this ages ago and just found it still sitting in my drafts!  ig i hit save draft instead of queue, I promise I never meant to ignore it or leave you hanging )

for my 1k Giveaway, crossover headcanons for @my-random-ocs!

Alexis really struggles with her family when they move to Beacon Hills.  She and Allison had always been best friends but all of the drama starts to tear them apart, and I feel like that would go for Jet too, especially if Alexis can tell that Jet is keeping secrets

She probably pushes her away for a long time, using her bitchy popular girl mask to keep her away, because she lives with the mentality that if no one gets close, no one can hurt her!

Alexis doesn’t trust Kate from the start but after the scene where she finds Derek in the Hale House basement, she swears that her entire family is dead to her, and that would definitely include Jet and her family

But after Kate kills her mom, Alexis would be the first Argent to reach out with condolences?

I feel like it would take a long time (probably not til after Gerard is out of the picture) for Alexis to really start to trust and open up to her because the first two seasons keep reaffirming her belief that all hunters are evil and she can’t trust her family, but after that they probably become extremely close?  I can see them in fights always moving like one unit, they just always know exactly where the other one is and are always watching each other’s six?

Through season 3 I feel like people start to mistake the two of them for being the twins just because they’re so inseparable and in sync all the time, while Lexi & Ally are always just slightly off step from each other still!

(I’m not sure how Jet would react to Lexi becoming an alpha, especially as she isn’t a werewolf, but I feel like that could be a really cool concept to explore between them?

Character Inspo Tag

Tagged by @leighvalentin on my main blog. Thank you for the tag!

Tagging: @thatndginger @avrablake @whumperofworlds and leaving this as an open tag as well. No pressure though!

List some of your OCs and what other characters they were inspired by.

I have a running list of characters who are named after/inspired by fictional characters haha. I’ll just hit the highlights though.

Kira Shade: Heavily inspired by Buffy Summers. She also pulls a lot from Bo Dennis from Lost Girl and Wynonna Earp from Wynonna Earp.

Allison Collins: Originally inspired by the bitchy popular girl trope and a couple of assholes I knew when I was a teenager, Allison draws a lot of inspiration for her current version from Lexy Cross from Chucky and Cordelia Chase.

Lucent Ran’kai/Mallory Perrault: She was HEAVILY inspired by Lucent and Gemma from the Young Elites series. And yeah, she was named after Lucent.

Liam Prescott: I think I mentioned this before, but Liam is based on Dewey from the Scream franchise. This one is so funny because I made Liam shortly before Scream 5 came out, and Liam is an alcoholic shut-in, which retroactively became ten times funnier when I watched the movie where Dewey has effectively become an alcoholic shut-in.

Kirsty McCallahan: Pretty blatantly inspired by Kirsty Cotton from Hellraiser.

Evan Forrester: Evan was inspired by a mix of different Slenderverse characters, but his main influences are Evan from EverymanHYBRID, Jeff from DarkHarvest00, and Lee from Whispered Faith.

Patrick Marcellus: Patrick is also Slenderverse-inspired, and he borrows heavily from both HABIT and Patrick Andersen from MLAndersen0.

Winifred “Fred” Chase: Her base concept was just “Winifred Burkle but not traumatized” and then she kind of evolved from there. In-universe she took her nickname of Fred from the show.

Edrisa Shade: I was going to stop with Fred but this one is probably the funniest thing ever so I’m including it. Edrisa was originally inspired by Herbert West from Re-Animator. He still draws some from Herbert, but it’s so hard to tell that that’s how he originally started and it’s so funny.

I'm blessed to know so many Lexis in this fandom. Each one of y'all are fucking badass, you know that?

Alexis has always been so interesting to me. In a story, I don't care about morality, I care about what kind of emotions a character invokes in me and how they drive the story. And besides, I feel the hate that Alexis receive feels super over the top.

NSJNFKJDS - I didn't expect the Alexis/Christian fever to catch on! Listen, I fell in love with Alexis the moment she was mentioned by Vincent but Christian? He snuck into my heart! I didn't really care much about him, even when Milo mentioned that he and the other Wolf Shifters hazed him, but after that one Winter Solstice party where Asher gave him that watch, I was like... "Ok... ok. I see you, Christian. I see you!"

I became enamoured with the idea of Alexis with Christian after that. They'd made a powerful couple! With a side of bitch and all attitude, you know?

FFS - I EVEN DREAMT OF CHRISTIAN LAST WEEKEND! The love for this man is unreal! (Also, Christian is the ONLY redacted boi that I see as a sour cream. Mayo muncher. Fan of floor mattresses - ok, ok, I'll stop)

I'd say my Lexi is pretty fucking good, so I agree. I love my sunshine.

I could go on and on about Alexis (and I have) but like my point remains: she was damned if she did and damned if she didn't, it feels weird that the only canonically female character is so evil, we support women's rights and wrongs, etc.

Christian did not sneak up on me, but I think he snuck up on Lexi Sun. And then they clobbered me over the head and were like "ok cool I have dragged you by the ankles into this fandom and now I will talk about my favorite characters" and I listened. Here we are.

My favorite flavor of them in power couple too! I think their combined bitchiness makes them so fun. It's a lot easier being the least liked person at the party when you have someone else who is the least liked and you can do it together. Plus, in my head they serve looks.

CHRISTIAN IS ABSOLUTELY A MOON CRICKET. A CHALK CRUSADER EVEN. In my head, the only white characters are Christian (I mean. Come on.) and Quinn (ESPECIALLY NOW THAT HE'S BRITISH?????)

Sooooo what was the Christian dream about 👀👀👀👀👀👀

Thoughts - The Pixie and The Dryad

19. “You're always with me”

(Tw: Swearing,)

Emi complains a lot. It's the truth and he wears it with honor most of the time. He once told Lexi it was because his filter is broken. Lexi said she didn't mind. So, Emi complains to Lexi about everything and anything that annoys him. In turn, Lexi never judges when he changes his mind or tells him he's wrong. Today was different. Lexi knew the moment the pixie walked in and didn't say a word. 

“Pix?” The dryad can't help the concern seeping into their voice. Usually, Emi would start by telling Lexi about his day and then complaining about customers that annoyed him. Today, Emi walked in and starts the kettle without even looking at Lexi. The pixie stays silent as he reaches for the tea bags. “Emi,” He freezes at Lexi's tone. He slowly turns to the dryad, unable to meet their eyes. Lexi frowns and takes the box out of his hands. She envelops him in a hug and waits. 

It doesn't take long for the pixie to crack. “It's nothing,” He tries only to be hugged tighter. “You do so much for me already,” He attempts with no luck. Emi sighs and wraps his arms around Lexi. “Am I too much?” He asks softly and it makes Lexi's heart clench. “No. Never,” Emi lets out a choked-out sob at the statement. ”I am! I complain way too much. I talk too much. Everything I say is wrong ad I'm very bitchy! You're always with me! You must hate me!” Emi rambles through tears. Lexi simply holds him tighter. “I could never hate you,” The dryad says, blinking away their own tears. It hurt that Emi would ever think of himself as too much. “You are wonderful and kind. I enjoy it when you talk to me and complain about things.” Emi sniffles at the words. “Emi,” Lexi looks the pixie in the eyes. “I hang out with you because you're my best friend and I enjoy spending time with you.“ Emi lets out another sob. Lexi holds and rubs his back soothingly. 

They move to the living room couch after calming down. Emi is on Lexi's lap with his head on their shoulder. ”Want to tell me what happened?' Lexi asks after a few moments. Emi makes a noise of disapproval. It makes Lexi roll their eyes. ”You have to tell me eventually,“ The dryad teases. They both knew Lexi would let it go if Emi really didn't want to say. The pixie sighs and gives in. ”One of the new hires told me to shut up,“ Emi can feel Lexi tense up under him. He gives the dryad a look before continuing. “Mika told me she was being rude but, I guess it got to me. My thoughts spiraled and I thought maybe you hate me but, you're too nice to leave.” Lexi snorts at the idea. “Hon, I can name several people who would disagree,” She says with a dismissive wave. “Then they would be wrong,” Emi responds crossing his arms in fake annoyance. 

“No, they would be right. I can be super mean.” 

“Bullshit.”

“Pix, you are one of the only people who see nice Lexi.”

“Again, bullshit. You are the nicest-HEY!”

Emi gets cut off by Lexi picking him up. Lexi chuckles at the pixie's glare. “Am I so nice now?” The dryad says with a teasing grin. Emi huffs but struggles to keep the smile off his face. Lexi sits him down after a moment. “You are way too strong,“ Emi remarks. ”Thank you, I try,“ Lexi responds in kind, making a show of showing off their muscles. Emi grins and launches himself at the dryad. Lexi catches him with ease. ”Oh my,“ Lexi says dramatically falling onto the couch. “A pretty boy on top of me, whatever shall I do?” Emi lightly smacks their arm. Lexi just grins in response. They stay like that for hours, joking and talking to each other. 

(A/n: The list has dialogue as well. I love writing about these two. They're very sweet and care a lot about each other. I hope you enjoy and have a peaceful day!)
