who: @bradley-banner where: connie's place

"i want to do something special for imani." valentines day was coming up soon, and during the chaos of connie's father being back in town the lawyer couldn't help think she owed the woman something for all the trouble. "i'm not... good at the whole romantic plan, things. i plan meetings and court sessions." the woman sticks her chopsticks into the takeaway container, reaching for her wine. this had to be personalised, not a soirée created by a soulless company that didn't know imani as a person. connie couldn't say she'd gotten over her self consciousness of being a present partner just yet. the fear of screwing things up would be ever present. "i think she's my first valentine?"

Closed: @bradley-banner – Friends catching up over dinner.

It was funny to consider the path of life that merged and converged both Roman and Bradley together. The woman was one of the most fierce and capable individuals the Cavendish had the pleasure of knowing. Despite all the acclaim and successes that came with her birthright and her own will, the Banner was still the same girl at heart. The one whom he snuck kisses from in the simpler days of their youths. "Sorry I missed your big New Years shindig," he smiled as he took down another sushi roll. "Was it everything you ever dreamed of and more?"

[pxtrickbalfe]

she doesn't look overly comfortable to be standing next to him. patrick wonders why; why she puts herself through initiating the awkward conversations when there really wasn't much left to say. after he apologised and made his peace to her upon arriving in town, patrick had no desire in rebuilding a friendship, as it was simply too painful. she only served as a reminder that he wasn't enough, and wondered why he'd let himself succumb to those pesky feelings one calls love. he didn't have distain for bradley, but he wished that she'd leave him to lick his wounds in relative peace.

he glances down at the cigarette, pursing his lips gently. "i took it up again recently." patrick doesn't know why on earth he's telling her this, maybe it was the instinct of being so comfortable around Bradley he never needed to think — just speak. he had to work on that. luckily he doesn't go as far into why he picked the habit back up. those pesky legal letters from his siblings were pilling up in his new york office, and it was only a matter of time that they'd find his new address. "i ration that there are worse things i could be doing." —like falling in love.

"well, i always enjoyed it here." while most of his presence in town in the past were to spend time with bradley, patrick immensely enjoyed his time in the hamlet of a town. a beat of silence passes between them, as patrick taps at the tip of his cigar, sending wisps off into the atmoshpere. "i don't mean to come across rude, but y'don't have to force yourself to speak to me." he turns his attention back up towards her. "i understand you're trying to keep us on civil terms, i appreciate that. we can just go about our lives, i don't feel vindictive."

@bradley-banner

Bradley uses her phone to check the time, not that she needs to, it's simply used as a tactic to distract herself from the male beside her. To give her something to do whilst within his proximity. She couldn't simply go back inside the restaurant, that would seem like he'd caused her to scarper, and she wasn't the type to go running at the slightest thing.

( besides, they were practically neighbours now, perhaps it was time to find some kind of neutral ground. )

"You're right though." She remarks, tone light as though she risks poking a sleeping bear and she's not sure its a good idea. "It is a bad habit." One she'd attempted to get him to kick during their late nights in New York. Albeit, the only thing he'd kicked in the end was her. Not that she could blame him, she hadn't been a picture of her best self.

"How are you finding it here?" It felt weird to ask a question that made her feel like a stranger. Bradley could offer idle chitchat in any scenario, it's how she captured the attention of a room, opened wallets when she hosted charity nights, she had a way of making people think she saw them, this time it was at least genuine. City lights to Aurora Bay were a change of pace, and she knew only too well that it could take some getting used to.

Ooh, love (there he goes again)

Bradley and Kate bond over ham sandwiches and their choice of partner.

Note: Kate and Bradley love their obnoxious boys, it annoys them but they love them and I’m working on making some more fluff. I wanna get to writing hangster more because Bradley is fun to write.

Warning: none

Song: good old fashioned lover boy - queen

Bradley found himself once again in some random field in Oklahoma, now on the fifth day of being with the wranglers. He was perched on the tailgate of the red truck, watching Jake and Tyler converse animatedly at the bottom of a small hill.

“Ham sandwich?” A slightly squashed, plastic-wrapped sandwich appeared before him, and Bradley turned his attention to Kate, who was smiling warmly.

“Yeah, thanks,” he replied.

Kate took a seat beside him, and they ate in companionable silence for a moment before she broke it. “How did you meet Jake? I’m guessing it was through the Navy?”

Bradley chuckled, shaking his head as he looked back at Kate. “Actually, we were in the same class at the naval academy. On the first day, I picked a seat in the back, figuring it’d be more comfortable—well, you know,” he said, kicking out one leg to emphasize his height.

“Then this cocky guy strolls in like he owns the place and takes a seat right in the front. He had this ridiculous toothpick and an insufferable shit eating grin. I’m sure you can guess who I’m talking about.”

Kate laughed and nodded, clearly familiar with the type of grin Bradley was describing—she’d seen Tyler with that exact look. Bradley chuckled along with her, then nudged her playfully with his elbow. “What about you?”

Kate grinned. “Oh, just as you’d expect. A certain guy rolled up to the gas station where Javi and I were meeting up with our team at the time, honking the horn and blasting music. He jumped out, and the place was instantly swarmed by storm chasers. And sure enough, he had that same insufferable shit-eating grin.”

The two laughed, enjoying their new inside joke. Bradley shook his head, then nodded toward the twins in the distance.

“Copy-paste, just in a slightly different font,” he said with a grin.

They laughed again before settling into a comfortable silence. In the few days they’d known each other, Bradley and Kate had gotten along remarkably well.

After a long moment, with only the wind rustling through the wheat field, Bradley finally asked, “When did you… y’know?” The question was clear, though unspoken: when did Kate realize she had feelings for Tyler?

“When he helped me perfect my polymer project… he had no obligation to stay and help, yet he did,” Kate said slowly. “He helped me face my fears, pulled me out of my guilt.”

Their eyes were focused on the twins.

Bradley nodded. “For me, it was when he saved me. I was on the edge for a long time, and that just pushed me over.” He paused, “I guess they saved us both.”

Kate hummed, and they fell into silence, sharing an unspoken understanding about how important the twins were to them.

Their peaceful moment was broken by Jake shouting something and pushing Tyler over, leading to a lively wrestling match.

Bradley sighed. “Why did we have to choose them?”

Bonus:

Jake, hands on his hips and gazing at the horizon, asked, “So when did Kate get you all smitten?”

Tyler, looking a bit sheepish, replied, “When I first saw her.” The admission felt a little cringy, but it was the truth.

“Oh my god,” Jake sighed, embarrassed for his brother.

“Oh and what about Rooster?” Tyler snapped, clearly annoyed. There was no way his brother would make fun of his love life. Jake remained silent, his look revealing that he felt the same way.

“You’re joking,” Tyler gasped as Jake shoved him with an echoing “shut up!”

[the-ace-with-spades]

(sometimes I feel) like a monkey pilot fic background bits (heavier on hangster this time), because I wanna write it, I'm having feelings about it, but it isn't coming along

Also, it recently passed 200 bookmarks and my little trans gay heart is so happy 🥹

---- When Jake and Bradley had met for the first time (back when Bradley was pre-transition), they were the opposite of each other's types. They haven't grown into the people they are as the fic begins, personality and body-wise, either, being like 23-24 — Jake was lean but scrawny, had about half of his today's confidence and sass and Bradley was still reeling with compacted anger/sadness and fake-it-till-you-make-it attitude that carried him through college and the basketball scholarship.

---- Bradley up until that point dated only girls and although he was kinda attracted to guys, he identified as a lesbian, and gave Jake a chance on a whim — mostly he thought Jake was a big dork and wasn't making him feel less like a lot of guys did. He felt like Jake didn't categorize him by 'female' standards much and that helped enormously too. Nat might or not have taken pity on Jake and talked to Bradley to emphasize that Jake is just a big dork that grows on you...

---- Jake'd only dated the next-door neighbor type of girls, very feminine and although on the playful side, always softer and more shy girls, usually curvy and tiny in comparison to him. He always imagined himself as a more stereotypical husband, with a housewife and kids waiting at home for him (very similar to the way his own parents were — his ma helped around on the farm, but she was primarily responsible for raising children until they grew enough, and his dad although present, would follow her lead when it comes to childrearing). But there was just something about Bradley, in all the two inches taller, semi-professional basketball player body and the cheeky quips glory and the way he felt challenged whenever they spoke, the way he wanted the attention to never end. Obviously, he found out pretty soon that Bradley was a dork and a softie and just felt even more endeared.

---- The above is also something that causes some problems down the lane — Jake always thought they were each other's 'special ones', that despite being totally different from what either of them would imagine in a partner, somehow they ended just being perfect for each other. He has this whole thing in his head where they're each other's 'exception to the rule' and obviously Bradley still is his exception (because he's a guy and Jake's never been with a guy) but now he isn't Bradley's. It's hard for him to communicate this properly and since Bradley is also very in his mind about Jake wanting him despite being a guy, it causes problems.

---- Their first date (which I'll write eventually) was a stroll at the farmer's market and eating freshly made with produce they bought there breakfast in the bed of Jake's truck. It kinda won both of them on each other and they were goners since.

---- They both dated in the five years of being broken-up. Bradley dated both guys and girls, with various results (some of his dates were trans guy chasers, some were just not clicking) and Jake dated a couple of girls of his previous type (mostly matchmade by his ma...) and a couple more tomboy-ish, sporty girls (mostly on Javy's desperate attempts to get him to move on), but it had never felt the same for either of them.

---- I do also want to emphasize that Bradley's mental state when he and Jake broke up was poor, but not in a very visible way. He's really good at compartmentalizing and since the whole Mav fiasco, also hyper-independent, and given his then-current life, he really didn't see any options that would keep everyone happy — in his mind, he didn't really have a choice but to leave and try to live as a woman once again, but with a clean slate (for both him and Jake) and no expectations but those that the Navy set for him. For him, in the military, it was really easy to lose identity (and also gender as part of identity) — he was an officer, naval aviator, sailor first, woman second, and it was the last line of comfort he had.

---- Jake kinda had a feeling something was off since he proposed and got rejected, but he didn't know how to address it because it wasn't very precise and almost felt as if he was making it up from his own insecurities (because his proposal, which he thought was just a formality, got rejected and now he felt confused and unsettled about how well they really knew each other, even if he didn't doubt they loved each other). Only when Bradley told him they needed to break up and that he was leaving for the Virginia base in half an hour, packed to go, never even having mentioned planning a transfer in the past months, he realized how bad it actually had been.

---- Jake did realize back then that Bradley (still pre-transition) had a lot of insecurities regarding his perception and body, he just kinda misunderstood the assignment and thought it came from the opposite reasons than in reality — that pre-transition Bradley was the most comfortable in the tomboy-ish, cocky image but didn't feel beautiful in typical 'female' standards and such, rather that he, you know, didn't want to feel pretty by 'female' standards at all. The only thing that helped Bradley feel good about

---- Like in most of my fics, I think Mav and Bradley can cook pretty well, mostly due to the headcanoned nature of their upbringings. Mav (who is part Italian in my mind, always), had often helped his mamma cook and then when she passed away, would often be responsible for meal preps as one of the oldest kids in his group homes. He's also used cooking as a way of taking care of the people he loves - Goose would've starved to death if Mav hadn't cooked for the both of them the first year they'd known each other, Carole has a similar upbringing as Mav but doesn't like cooking much, Ice can kinda cook (he can do anything if he tries hard enough) but doesn't like it. And Bradley would often help with cooking as a kid and then had to learn fast when he went to college and didn't have the money or means to not cook. He's also learned to use it as a form of love from Mav, with time.

---- I also think that a major thing about is how being someone's support can set both Mav and Bradley into override mode against all their fears and insecurities. I think Mav overcame a lot of his doubts when he had to take care of Bradley (the idea that he's not made for family, the idea he can only ruin relationships and cause harm to his loved ones, the idea he can be loved unconditionally with reciprocation, etc.) There was a deleted scene (that maybe will come back, I feel a bit weird about it b/c it's really cliche) where Bradley is pretty early in the transition process and where for the first time, he's not afraid to be clocked as trans by a stranger, and this all happens when he's helping another trans person in an icky situation during one of the trans support group meetings.

---- Bradley doesn't come out to anyone in their family — every single time someone found he's transitioning/transitioned, it was from Ice. This is how he preferred it, it started with Slider and Ice's sister (which is also another deleted scene I might post here at some point), and then to take some of the emotional stress, Mav and Ice agreed they could do the initial explanations/coming outs for him. Thing is, Mav always doesn't know how to begin and how to explain stuff without overexplaining it, so it's usually Ice who would actually do the talking with Mav there as support in case something goes wrong (it has not gone horrible even once — with various degrees of explanations and time to process, everyone in their family came around to accept Bradley as a man)

---- the title of this fic, (sometimes I feel) like a monkey pilot, comes from the Comsat Angels' song, Monkey Pilot, and had been chosen mostly because it resonates with my trans experience (and Bradley's) and how it feels to be in the denial, 'if I don't think about it doesn't exist' stage of being trans, when you're so transfixed and not in control of your own life that it all feels like you're just going through the motion and don't know what you're doing, don't care what you're doing as long as you're still in motion (or in the air, in Bradley's case). It's the feeling of doing things out of habit and because that's what is expected of you while realizing sullen it makes you and how there's only a few things that make it better (again, mostly flying in Bradley's case). Also, it's aviation-themed and inspired by J.G. Ballard's short stories, so it seemed fitting to me.

—Another addition to the family ☕️

Steve and Stella were not planning on having another after all the kids within The Tower already but when a certain lovely girl showed up in their lives, well, they couldn't say no...

Marianna Strange-Rogers 🎳🩰🎧🪄

Faceclaims: Luna Blaise/(younger) Julia Butters 

Full Name - Marianna Theodosia S. Rogers

Nicknames: Mari, Mar, Anna, Ani, Theo, Sia

Age: 4-21 (depending on the story) 

 Appearance:

Hair: Dark, chestnut brown—long with soft waves, maybe just a bit of a messy, "I didn’t try too hard but look how cool I am" vibe.

Eyes: Warm brown, almost amber in the light, with a hint of mystery. There's a sharpness to her gaze that hints at intelligence but also a bit of guardedness.

Build: Slim but athletic; she’s not necessarily super muscular, but she has the body type that suggests she’s always on the go, maybe active in a variety of ways—running, dancing, etc.

Style: A mix of laid-back, sporty, and edgy. She likes wearing leather jackets, vintage tees, and sneakers, but occasionally wears something a bit fancier when she wants to throw people off or to fit in with her brothers' circles. A bit of a “don’t care but still care” vibe.

~~~~

Personality:

* Quiet, Charismatic: She’s the type of person you notice without realizing why. When she speaks, people listen. Her charisma isn’t loud or obvious—it’s the kind that creeps up on you. She can make an entire room feel like it’s focused on her with just a subtle look or a well-timed comment.

* Bravado & Insecurity: Marianna’s been through enough to have built up walls. She has this strong exterior—she’s witty, bold, and has this "I can do anything" attitude. But deep down, she’s dealing with insecurities that she keeps hidden. She masks it all with humor and confidence, so no one really knows what she’s struggling with.

* Introverted Yet Outgoing: This is such a great paradox for her. She’s the kind of person who can walk into a room full of strangers and quickly become the center of attention—but she’ll only let certain people really in. She values her alone time, and sometimes, all that attention drains her. She has an inner world that she keeps mostly private, but her moments of connection are intense and deep when she opens up.

* Adrenaline Junkie: She thrives on pushing her limits. Whether it's something physical, mental, or emotional, she seeks out challenges—sometimes in risky ways. She probably has a love for extreme sports, fast cars, or sneaking out late at night to do something a little dangerous. It’s a way for her to feel alive and to prove to herself that she can handle whatever comes her way.

* Kind-Hearted: Despite all the bravado, Marianna is genuinely kind. She’s the type to defend the underdog, help out when no one’s looking, and do small acts of kindness that make a big impact. Her kindness doesn’t always come across immediately, because she hides it under layers of humor and toughness, but it’s there.

Parent Dynamics 🫂

Father: Steven Grant Rogers🧢 (FC: Chris Evans – Warm, supportive, and creative)

Profession: While Steve Rogers is obviously known as Captain America, he doesn’t want that life to define his children. Before everything that happened, Steve was an art student, and he actually has a deep love for creative expression—whether through painting, sketching, or sculpture. He believes in the power of creativity and wants his kids to have the freedom to pursue their passions without the weight of his own superhero career hanging over them.

Personality: Steve is still the moral center of the family—he’s strong, reliable, and a protector by nature. However, in his family life, he’s much more relaxed and encouraging. He values freedom and individuality above all else and has always worked hard to give his children a sense of normalcy, despite the chaotic world they live in. He’s warm and patient, and while he might not always understand every choice his kids make, he supports them no matter what. He’s not pushy about following in his footsteps, and he’s not trying to recreate his own “greatness” through them.

Relationship with Marianna:

Encouragement of Freedom: Steve doesn’t expect Marianna to be a hero or to follow in his artistic footsteps. What matters to him is that she is true to herself and follows whatever path she feels passionate about. He encourages her to explore—whether it’s through art, sports, academics, or other creative ventures. However, because of his own complex past, Steve might worry that Marianna won’t have the space to fully explore who she is in a world full of expectations. He wants her to feel free to make mistakes, take risks, and grow, just as he wishes he had had the chance to do before becoming a soldier.

Emotional Support: Steve is a father who’s there for his children when they need him, offering guidance in the form of “real talk” about life, love, and finding one’s true purpose. He never pushes them to be heroes, but he doeswant them to be good, kind, and authentic people. Marianna, in particular, might have a strong emotional connection to Steve because he’s always been the one to let her figure out who she wants to be, even if it frustrates her at times.

Mother: Estella Sophia R. Strange 🎲 (FC: Anne Hathaway – grounded, nurturing, practical)

Profession: Estella is a nurse—practical, nurturing, and deeply empathetic. She’s the type of person who genuinely loves helping others, and while she’s not involved in any mystical arts, she’s deeply rooted in the real world and the tangible. As a nurse, she’s seen her fair share of suffering, and her career is one of service, but she is not a perfectionist. Instead, she’s a figure of stability, providing a calming and loving influence on the family.

Personality: Estella, is darling, emotionally intelligent, and multi-faceted. She can be warm and kind-hearted one moment, but her fierce protectiveness can cause her to snap when she feels out of control or when her family is threatened. Her temper is quick to flare, and her insecurities sometimes get the better of her, leading to moments of irrationality however her heart is always in the right place.

Relationship with Marianna:

Gentle and Supportive: Estella is one of the more emotionally available of the adults. She’s the one who will sit with Marianna when she’s feeling down or confused, offering advice with a gentle touch. Estella never tries to push Marianna in any one direction but instead listens and lets her figure things out in her own time. While she is more grounded and less likely to encourage risks the way Steve might, she still respects Marianna’s need for freedom and individuality.

Practicality vs. Spontaneity: Estella might, at times, be a bit worried about Marianna’s more reckless or spontaneous side—she’s seen the dangers of the world and might be protective. However, she knows that her daughter needs space to explore and make mistakes. Her approach is often to teach Marianna the practical aspects of life, like responsibility and taking care of oneself, while allowing Marianna the freedom to choose her own way.

—————————

The Brothers 🚲

Bradley James Rogers🎼 (Older Brother – FC: Darren Criss / Younger FC: Asher Angel)

Role: The oldest sibling, a musical theater enthusiast with a tough exterior and a soft, sensitive heart.

Dynamic with Marianna:

Emotional Anchor: Bradley is protective of Marianna, though he gives her space to make her own decisions. His playful, theatrical side often draws Marianna in, making him the brother she can turn to for advice about love, relationships, and personal growth.

Creative Support: As someone who is deep into the arts, Bradley encourages Marianna to explore her creative side. He’s always there to help her feel validated in her expression, whether it’s through writing, acting, or any other artistic outlet she gravitates toward.

Connection: Though he can be tough on the outside, Bradley’s real strength lies in his ability to see through Marianna’s walls. He gives her the emotional support she needs, even when she’s struggling with self-doubt or insecurity. Whether they’re goofing off together or having deep heart-to-heart talks, Bradley helps Marianna feel like she can conquer anything.

Kendall Perseus Rogers 🏒 (Older Brother #2 – FC: Austin Butler / Younger FC: Walker Scobell)

Role: The ambitious and driven younger brother who’s into hockey and always striving for excellence, whether it’s in sports or personal growth.

Dynamic with Marianna:

Motivator: Kendall pushes Marianna to challenge herself, often encouraging her to take life more seriously. He’s all about hard work, discipline, and going after what she wants, but he does so with a tough love approach that Marianna sometimes finds a bit intense.

Adrenaline Partner: While his focus on hockey might seem worlds apart from Marianna’s creative endeavors, they both share a love for pushing their limits. Whether it’s taking risks or indulging in something wild, Kendall encourages her to embrace her fearless side.

Supportive with a Twist: While Kendall isn’t always the most emotional, his support is unwavering. He might not always know how to express it, but Marianna can count on him to back her up when it matters most. His ambition and drive push her to challenge herself and overcome obstacles.

————————

The Aunties & Uncles 🎯

Uncle Thiago Strange 🩺 (– FC: Hugh Dancy)

Role: Thiago is the calm, intellectual uncle (tio) who offers Marianna a sense of grounded support. Very much the opposite to Leo. As a doctor, he’s logical and thoughtful, teaching Marianna the importance of balance and perspective in difficult situations—he loves her to death!

Dynamic with Marianna:

Guidance with Practical Wisdom: Thiago is the one Marianna goes to when she needs clear, reasoned advice. He helps her think through her decisions calmly and rationally.

Steadying Influence: In moments of emotional chaos, Thiago is a quiet, stabilizing presence. He encourages Marianna to trust her own instincts while staying grounded in reality.

Unspoken Bond: Their relationship is built on quiet moments—sharing coffee, discussing plans for the future, or even just spending time together in peaceful silence. His support is calm but always present.

Aunt Natasha Romanoff 💋(– FC: Scarlett Johansson)

Role: Natasha is the tough-love aunt, direct and no-nonsense. She challenges Marianna to face difficulties head-on, teaching her resilience and independence.

Dynamic with Marianna:

Tough Love: Natasha doesn’t sugarcoat things. She’s blunt but always with the goal of pushing Marianna to be stronger and braver.

Adventurous Mentor: Their bond is built on shared physical activities—whether sparring or adventuring. Natasha encourages Marianna to embrace risk and not shy away from challenges.

Empathy in Action: While tough, Natasha also has a deep understanding of Marianna’s emotional struggles. She shows her strength not just in action but in her unwavering belief in Marianna’s potential.

Uncle Bruce Banner🧬 (FC: Mark Ruffalo)

Role: Bruce is Jen Walters’ (She-Hulk) cousin, and she is Leo Strange's partner, making Bruce to be Estella’s brother-in-law. His relationship with Marianna is a bit more distant, but he’s still a significant figure in the family. Bruce's connection with Marianna is more through his bond with Jen and Leo than direct blood relations, but he’s still a beloved member of the family.

Dynamic with Marianna:

Intellectual Connection: Bruce would offer Marianna a space to discuss her inner world, especially as it relates to understanding herself and her place in the family. While he’s less likely to push her to take responsibility for her actions like Maria Hill or Natasha, he would help her see her own emotional struggles with clarity and might encourage her to think more deeply about how her actions affect those around her.

Compassionate Advice: Bruce has likely dealt with plenty of personal demons (especially his Hulk side) and might help Marianna understand that it’s okay to feel conflicted, but it’s how you manage those feelings that matter. His empathetic side can help Marianna open up about her insecurities, making him a safe, calm uncle to confide in.

Subtle Mentor: Bruce would likely try not to give unsolicited advice, instead waiting until Marianna asks for guidance. But when he does step in, his advice is thoughtful and meaningful. He would encourage Marianna to accept and embrace all parts of herself, including the darker or more conflicted parts of her personality, rather than suppress them.

Aunt Maria Hill🔏 (FC: Cobie Smulders)

Role: Maria is Natasha Romanoff’s wife, and thus a direct aunt to Marianna. As a high-ranking SHIELD agent, Maria provides a grounded, strategic, and disciplined influence in Marianna's life. Maria and Natasha have built a life together, and as a result, Maria is a steady, reliable figure who complements Natasha’s more intense, hands-on approach.

Dynamic with Marianna:

Tough, Tactical Mentor: Maria is the one who teaches Marianna how to control her impulses and think strategically. When Marianna gets caught up in the thrill-seeking side of things, Maria helps her step back and assess the situation logically. She’ll teach Marianna to stay focused on the end goal, even when distractions arise.

Supportive in Silence: Maria’s love is often shown through her actions rather than words. She doesn’t always say "I love you" or express her feelings openly, but she’ll back up Marianna in any way she can—whether it’s taking care of logistics, offering advice on personal growth, or stepping in when Marianna needs a steady hand in an emergency.

Mentorship Through Structure: Where Natasha might focus more on physical endurance and emotional resilience, Maria provides structure. She’ll give Marianna guidance on how to stay organized, how to be disciplined in her pursuits, and how to approach challenges with a calm, measured mindset.

-----

Bonus: When Marianna was still very young, Thiago decided to mess around with her and make Stella annoyed soo...

Stella sat in front of toddler Mari and smiled, "Ma-ma, or Ma-mi. Can you please say one of the two, baby?"

Marianna nods as she giggles in response, "Pe-pa!"

"No! It's mami...wait, who told you 'Pepa'?"

"Tio!"

"Ugh, Thiago.."

Meanwhile Thiago is snickering in the living room to himself with Liane and Natasha.

-----

Of course we got a long list of family members but we will be here ALL day! So feel free to add onto this post with your own thoughts and additions. 😉

Word Count: 1200

Note: Takes place about twelve years before the start of the story.

You were sitting in your office when Fuhrer King Bradley stepped into the closed door, without knocking. Eyes drifting upward to look at the mustached man with a half smile. He had a determined look on his face as he stared back at you.

“Hello Fuhrer Bradley, sir,” You stood and gave the man a bow.

“Must you be so formal?” Bradley sighed and crossed his arms.

“You are the Fuhrer, and I, just a measly civil servant~” You said, pressing your arm to your hand in a dramatic fashion.

“Yet,you are my wife” He said while leaning on the doorframe.

“Hah, you’re no fun. So what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?”

“Direct order from Father, it’s time for you to perform your wifely duties,” Bradley said as he put his hat back on.

“Oh… well I’ll see you tonight,”

You had been anticipating this night since you and King Bradley had gotten married. You had found out he was a homunculus when you saw under his eye patch. Maybe it should have turned you away but it did the opposite.

“You should get ready to head home, get ready.” Bradley saw before turning to leave.

Gathering up the last bits of your paperwork you placed them into your drawer. Grabbing your keys to lock your office you head home as you were told.

Did you have a thing for the dramatics… maybe but tonight was going to be romantic. The Fuhrer would like all the sweet candles, the dim lighting and the pastel colored lingerie set you had put on right after a nice rose bath.(well the last part was for you but still.) Now you were just sitting on the freshly washed egyption cotton bed sheets.

Your eyes gain weight, Body feeling heavy while laying against the plush pillows; Sleep quickly starts to overcome you. An unknown amount of time passess when the sound of the door jingles. Stirring you a bit, shifting your head to the faint sound. Fuhrer Bradley stepped into their shared bedroom.

Bradley walked over to you, eyes trailing up and down your partially exposed body. He moved his hands across your stomach slowly. You hum while still stirring from your nap as Bradley’s hands roamed across your torso.

“Look alive dear, this is the start of a long night,” Bradley said. As he bent, his breath tickled your ear and his voice low and sensual sent shivers down your spine.

“Sorry dear, I didn’t mean to fall asleep.” You push the resilient pull of slumber away the best you could. Eyes trained on the sight of Bradley unbuttoning his shirt, his shoes long gone.

He carefully placed the shirt into the laundry basket,then he sat next to you. Scooting over beside you, he drapes his arm on top of yours and pulls you closer. Heartbeat pumping faster with anticipation.

You could already see his growing erection through his work pants. you were fully awake now and starting to get turned on by the second. Leaning into him, you give him a smile.

“Do you like my outfit?” You place a finger mall kiss on his cheek. His warm hand rubbing up and down on your side.

“It's cute, but I would have preferred you wearing nothing at all.” The Fuhrer mumbled against your skin as he kissed your neck lightly. He then snaked his hand to the clip to her bra to undo it.

His eyes were set on your supple breasts, kneading one in his hands. Your mouth opens a bit but little sound escapes it, aside from a small squeak.

Bradley rolls your tender nipples in between his rough fingers, to which they quickly grow erect. He moved his head to place a kiss on your breast, before running his tongue on it. His soft kisses turned to open mouth frenching and licking then that turned into sucking and even biting. You let out a moan as your hand ran through his head.

He moved to take off your lingerie bottoms, you shiver and watch him. Bradley let out a sharp breath, running his thumb on your folds.

“You’re such a filthy woman, already soaking wet,” Bradley said, slipping two fingers into your dripping cunt.

“F-uck~” You cried out, your hips bucking into Bradley’s large hands. He curled his fingers within her as he thrust his digits in a slow pace. He was kissing her here and there as rubbed her clit.

He slips out his boxers in quick motions as he starts to stroke his erections with his other hand, matching the slow pace as his fingers plumbing in your wet walls.

“Can I?” you looked down at the size of him, wanting to suck him off.

“Maybe another time dear, I need to save all my seed for this beautiful cunt your yours.” He lifts your chin so you are looking up at him. Bradley gives you a quick peck, before moving you down on the bed where you were laying down and gets in between her legs.

Lining himself up with your fat cooch, Bradley’s hips snap against yours as he starts with a brutal pace.

“Ah- ah- A- oh fucK~” You cried out, the sound of for flesh snapping against eachother filling the bedroom with lewdities.

He starts to thrust into you with a slow and even pace. Rocking his hips as he held your thighs in his hands. He lets out a faint groan from his movements. Your eyes shut as you let out shaky moans.

“I want you to look at me dear.” he places a kiss on your cheek as he pulls your chin down to look at him. You do your best to keep your eyes on him as he thrust into you with his rhythmic pace that was starting to get faster.

He let out groans as he rocked his hips deeply inside your cunt. He pulled your thighs further apart as he started to pound at your g-spot. He leaned closer, making your legs get closer to your own chest. Bradley’s movements made your walls tense and flutter as you started to fall off the edge of a climax.

“Ah~” you let out another moan as you clench around King Bradley’s cock; your walls sucking him and pulling him deeper, the veins of his dick were rubbing you in all the right places. Your legs become shaky as you reach a climax.

The Fuhrer didn't let up, in fact he started to hit into you harder. Forcing your legs closer to your ears and basically hovering above you. Your…everything was basically shaking, whole body quivering as your husband abused your wet glistening soaking and dripping pussy.

“Can't wait for this beautiful body of your to be caring for our kin.” His breathy voice muttered into your neck. You cum with another shaky cry.

“Too much- ha it's too much-“ you wrapped your weakening legs on his hips.

“You'll be fine my dear, just hold out a bit longer my dear.” His movements got a bit more sloppy as he got closer to finishing.

Hot tears rolled down your face,the pleasure was overwhelming. After a few more deep thrust the Fuhrer’s releases his hot sticky man goo into your cunt.

He pulled out and the cum leaked onto the bed sheets, yet Bradley pushed some of the dripping cum back into your stuffed hole so as to not waste his precious seed.

You let out a whimper as Bradley’s thick fingers slip into you.

“You can’t quit just yet dear , we have to make sure you’re pregnant and I still have a whole lot left in me.”

You were diligently sweeping the floor when you heard the front door unlocked.

“Welcome home,” you turn to face him at the door, giving him a smile as he gets closer.

“You’re supposed to be on bedrest,” King Bradley said with a sigh.

“I Know but I just couldn't help myself, I get bored being in bed all day. ” You give him a sheepish look, You rub your stomach tenderly. “If I let my body get weak then our baby will be weak as well, and we can’t have that can we.”

“No I suppose not” he nods and helps sit you down in the chair carefully.

“So I was thinking of names and if it’s a boy, about the name Selim?”

Thank you so much for reading and thanks to @cafekitsune for the banners.

santiago 🍻 + “ what lie have you told that hurt someone ?”

"A lie can be not saying something, right?"

Ben isn't sure he wants to pry open this can of worms, but his inhibitions are low, and he's feeling pretty shitty about things after getting tangled in the sheets with Auggie after so many years. It's not lashing out, no, he's just not thinking.

"Because I didn't tell Bradley anything about you and your mistress. Made me a good loyal friend to you, but a shitty one to her, if you think about it. It's a real catch twenty-two, if you think about it."

It sucked, it really did. Hearing one of his closest friends committing to an act that Benj had real personal experience with himself. Still, Ben doesn't exude any malice, nor is there any judgment. Things happened the way they did, and he speaks in a very matter-of-fact way. Like he's reading off the weather report.

"I don't think it would've changed anything, she'd still have been hurt. Maybe that doesn't count then, lying by not saying anything. But you fumbled. You had a wife that loved you, and, tch."

He's too drunk for this, as demonstrated by the way he sprawls out, arms hanging across the bar top at the Four Leaf, and sighs, tapping the rim of his empty glass.

"No offense."

where: seascape nye. who: open.

Bradley was very aware of her surroundings, had to be. Being a public figure truly brought all kinds of things to your front door — or in this case, your hotel —.

"Please tell me I just imagined Michael Myers over there."

She hadn't, mask straight out of spirit halloween and straight into seascape was not what she'd expected when the Banners had agreed to host this event.

[santiagodeleons]

Be honest... did you really think things were going to be resolved with Bradley?

"When someone you're in love with and want to fix things with tells you they still love you too and they want a future with, you're not thinking resolved, you're thinking solved. I'm very aware that that makes me a fucking idiot, thanks for the reminder."

send me “be honest…” with a question your muse has been dying to ask mine and they’ll answer truthfully.

I’ve seen a lot of writers on here have banners made for there fan fiction writing, and obviously so many of them are amazing. Since I’m not artistic in any way and can’t create a banner to save my life, I wanted to know is there anybody who is good at making banners, and would have the time and patience to create them for me whenever I would ask. Please message me if you are and you would like to take the job or help! Thank you so much everyone!

👀 fmk anyone in town.

"I'd fuck half the population of this town in a heartbeat, the other half? One shot. Not even actually, half a shot and lessgo. Marriage wise? No brainer, @bradley-banner. Never met her a day in my life but I hear she lives here and I need to be a sugar baby, it's my only goal in life and walking through Aurora Bay Drive yelling who want me hasn't worked out so far."

"Kill's harder, that's not my speed but it would be @edietello or @nirawuu but only in a tragic Shakespearean way where I had to because they were going to kill me first for grating on their nerves one time too many. I'd top myself after Romeo and Juliet styles because I'd miss them."

send my muse “👀 + a question” and they’ll have to answer with 100% honesty.

[the-ace-with-spades]

you know what, I have given up on stressing about this and decided to just make this chapter shorter and worry about writing that messy scene in the future (future me problem...)

So,
