thinking about idol reader and fan alhaitham except he’s very lowkey about it and secretly goes to every concert and fan meeting you have, wearing thick black-rimmed glasses that really shouldn’t work to conceal his identity but miraculously does.
alhaitham who calls himself a casual fan but has all of your albums displayed on a rack in his room along with an entire wall of posters of your face, the signed note he has from you is framed and placed right on top of his desk to be looked at whenever he needs a boost when he’s studying.
alhaitham who just got out of a thesis defense wearing a whole ass suit, looking entirely out of place in a sea of sweaty teenage girls and middle-aged men wearing merch with your face in it, but he’ll brave through the whole ordeal if it means getting to talk to you during a fan meeting.
alhaitham who has you as his phone’s wallpaper, which is why he never opens it when he’s in campus nor does he let anyone borrow it, even during emergencies. one memorable time was when kaveh broke his leg and needed alhaitham’s phone to call his mom, and after several arguments, alhaitham agreed but only after changing his wallpaper and locking several apps so kaveh wouldn’t be able to snoop.
alhaitham who knocks into kaveh during a concert, so now he’s stuck having to do the chores because of blackmail.
alhaitham who grits his teeth to keep from outing himself as your fan whenever kaveh goes into long monologues during class about your songs, having to bite back his tongue in order to stop himself from blurting out that no, your songs aren’t just full of cutesy lyrics, they have a deeper meaning to them that goes into the realities of the real world and how it affects people blah blah blah.
and it isn’t until the entire room is silent save for the sound of his long-winded rant that alhaitham realizes that he may just be a little in too deep to be called a casual fan.
“maybe the literal wall of posters should have clued you in on it,” kaveh tells him with an unimpressed stare.

eeee i love your work! could you do something with a fem (or gn that’s fine) reader with haley? maybe having a girls night? thank you so much! have a lovely day or night!!! :) 🩷🩷
ʚ📸ɞ ˚ · . A Girl's Night with Haley :
Tags: Haley from SDV x fem!reader
I'm so sorry this took so long anon! I got lazy for the past few days and didn't want to do any requests ^^; but I hope you like this, despite its lateness. If you have any requests then feel free to send me an ask!
🎀You and Haley didn't start off on the right foot so it's surreal to be in her room for a one-on-one girls night. If you told your past self you were sitting on her vanity, looking at the little red boats of her beach wallpaper and having Haley comb through your hair, she'd laugh in your face. But you were here, doing exactly that. Haley sent you a letter earlier that morning, inviting you to her room to spend the night. It was delicate, carefully crafted than the usual letter you'd get from your parents or Lewis. It smelled like Haley's perfume, a sweet undertone of cocoa. Even had a lipstick kiss mark at the end to seal the deal. You hardly dress up. The fanciest dress you've ever worn was for the Flower Dance, which you spent standing on the sidelines, totally not staring at Haley while she spun around. It's not that you like her (you totally do), but you decided to put on your better pairs of boots for the occasion. You're sure Haley would like the gesture and from her looking you up and down with a smile, it worked. But the boots weren't the reason why she was smiling.
🎀Haley baked cookies for you. They're in the shape of chickens. Well, as close to chickens as they could get. There were white ones, brown ones, blue ones, and one black one for the void chicken that's in your coop. There were as many cookies as chickens that you have. You could tell which cookie was which chicken. It surprised you. You've only shown Haley your coop once and you thought she was too busy making sure she didn't ruin her shoes. The cookies were your favorite flavor.
🎀It was spring, so the only thing that Haley has been thinking about was the Flower Dance. She insisted you help her practice her dance moves. She wanted to be Flower Queen for the sixth time in a row. You and her danced in the middle of her bedroom, your hands intertwined together. The two of you would take turns twirling each other, both of you moving closer after each spin. You and Haley ended up slow dancing in each others arms. She asked you to be her dance partner right then and there. You happily accepted. She later joked that she wouldn't mind as much if you won Flower Queen instead of her.
🎀You had sunflowers for Haley, your go-to gift for her. Literally the only reason why you started growing them on your farm. And as she always does, she fawns over it and says her thanks. You soon found out that she keeps your sunflowers in a vase in her bedroom. And for the sunflowers that were about to wilt, she told you that she turned them into bookmarks with Emily's help. She later told you her plan to make you and her flower crowns for the Flower Dance out of the sunflowers you give her 🥺
🎀It didn't take long for Haley to take out her camera. You two had a makeshift photoshoot, using all the hats, scarves and accessories in Haley's closet as props. Haley set her camera up on a tripod, and she would run to you to pose before the timer would run and snap a photo. The photos are an amalgamation of faces, some overly serious, most were just big smiles and blushing cheeks. Haley's favorite photo is of her kissing your cheek, the two of you dressed up in Haley's winter clothes. You decided it's your favorite as well. Haley keeps that picture framed on her bedside table.
🎀You've watched "The Brave Little Sapling", both of you wearing pajamas, and huddled together on Haley's bed with her head resting on your shoulder and cappuccino mousse cake on both your laps.
🎀The two of you baked pink cake in the kitchen, trying to be quiet because it was 1 in the morning. The two of you got that idea after finding a recipe for it in one of the many magazines that Haley has. It turned out great, a bit lopsided but that didn't stop Haley from taking pictures of your creation. It had little heart candies sprinkled on top of it. Haley broke her spring diet to eat a slice with you.
🎀You left the next morning with leftover cookies, one of Haley's hats ("It's yours now, I don't want my (y/n) getting sunburnt), and a heart shaped locket with a picture of Haley. Haley's got one for her too, one with your picture in it. She gave it to you the moment you were about to leave for home. She was descreet about it, making sure Emily was out of sight. She slipped it in your front pocket, blushing. And of course, she said good bye with a quick peck on the cheek.

Changmin (Q) X Fem!Reader
[A/n: This takes place in the same world (haunted house) of Fearful First Dates by @jinkoh, and Scaredy-cats by me.]
If you are a minor, please do not read/engage with this post. This is an 18+ work.
------
Since Changmin’s car is in the shop for the week. You’ve been picking him up from his job. He always comes out with a happy little smile before rushing to the passenger door, “Baby! You won’t believe the people I scared today!” You grin as he hops in, telling you about it. You weren’t great with horror or scares. But it brought him joy, so you’d always listen to him as you drove him home. You can’t wait to hear what wild stories he has this time as you call him, letting him know you’re on your way. He answers, “Hey, Baby, since it’s raining, I’m gonna wait inside the building until you get here.” You hum, “Oh, okay, do you want me to pull up to the door?” “No, actually, I was wondering if you could come in so we could wait for the rain to pass together.” You gulp, “Um, Changminnie, you want me to go inside the haunted house?” He cheerily replies, “Yeah!” “Are the others there?” “No.” Well, since there’s no scarers outside of your doting boyfriend, it can’t be that bad, right? You sigh, “I uh, I guess I could come to whatever room you're waiting in…” “Perfect! I’ll see you in a little, then?” You sigh again, “Yeah, I’m pulling up now.”
You park as close to the back entrance as possible, not wanting to walk through the rain even though it’s just a light drizzle. You shake your head as you shut your car door, realizing he could have just rushed to your car. There must be some reason he wants you in there. With a sigh, you decide to be brave and head in instead of calling him to come out. You make it up the steps and open the door, gulping as you move the curtain back. You fill with dread as you take it all in. You've only been in here once before when they were starting to decorate, and now it looks like something out of your worst nightmare. The blood-splattered Victorian wallpaper and Persian rugs make your face twist into disgust. You make the mistake of looking up to notice the netting that wasn’t there the last time and see fake bloody limbs entangled in it. You also notice how the stage lights are on instead of the overhead lights. And while you look up you feel something squish under your foot, causing you to yelp. You recoil in disgust, focusing all of your attention on the rugs as to not step on anything else. It’s somehow worse without the other scarers. No laughter or screams fill the darkened hallways, making it spookier. It feels unsettling to hear the creeks of your steps beneath your feet. You can’t help it as tears prick your eyes as you continue through the haunted house. It was one thing when people were in the building but another when it was empty. It was as if something could come out from the shadows with vicious intent.
You walk faster as fear starts to set in. You call for Changmin when you hear something dripping. He calls back, and you rush to the room you heard his voice come from. With tears in your eyes, you knock. And he opens the door, “Come on in, baby.” He takes in your appearance as you fling yourself into his arms and sniffle, “Please don’t make me do that alone again.” He asks, “What, were you scared?” You look at him as your tears finally fall from your eyes as you scowl at him, “You already know I was!” He moves his arms from your waist to cup your face in his hands, and asks, “Would you like me to take your mind off the scary things?” You scrunch your nose at him, “How so?” He smirks, “I have an idea or two since we’re the only ones here and all~” He brings his lips to yours as he asks, “What do you say?” You sniffle again as you whisper, “Please.” He smirks as he kisses you, “Good girl.”
When he pulls away, he twists you around after shutting the door, and you catch a glimpse of the cushy-looking bed, “Is this okay?” You nod as you shake off your jacket before he looks over his shoulder to see the camera’s watchful eyes. “Hold on one second, baby.” He finds some masking tape and rips it off with his teeth. He mumbles, “Jacob if you only knew what real fun was…” Before returning to you, asking rhetorically, “So, where were we?” You smile, “The part where you kiss me before pushing me backwards.” He smirks, winking at you as he says, “Right.” He tilts your chin up, gently kissing your lips before licking your bottom lip. You part your lips, and his tongue eagerly slips in before pushing you back onto the bed. He pulls away, giggling at the sight of you, “You always look so cute all sprawled out for me~” He climbs over you, and you wrap your arms around his neck to bring him to you and kiss him deeply. Your fingers find their way into his hair, tugging on it, making him groan into the kiss. And before you can do anything else, he pulls away from your lips. You pout at him, and he giggles before giving you another peck before kissing down your neck, nipping at spots as he makes his way to the collar of your shirt. His hands crawl under your shirt, sending shivers up your spine. You lift your arms over your head, and he slips it off of you before reattaching his lips to your collarbone. He nips until you groan out, and he sucks on the spot until it becomes red. He makes a few more marks before pulling away, satisfied. You smile at him, and he brings you in for another kiss.
You tug on his shirt, and when your lips part, he throws it up and over his head. You smile as you run your fingers down his chest and make quick work of his pants. He kicks them off before he undoes your jeans and slips them off you, slowly kissing your thighs as he goes, “You’re so pretty.” You blush as he comes back up to kiss you again. He whispers against your lips, “My cute little baby.” You peck his lips before his voice drops an octave, “I can’t wait to ruin you.” You rut your clothed hips into his as he asks, “What do you want, baby?” Already knowing the answer as you tell him, “You… Please…” He hooks his fingers underneath your underwear, slipping them off of you before rubbing his first two fingers along your entrance, “Fuck, you’re so wet for me.” Before slipping a finger in, seeing that you can take two, he slips in another, and you close your eyes, moaning as he curls his fingers inside you. He thrusts his fingers in a few more times before slipping his fingers out. You open your eyes, blinking at him in confusion at the loss of pleasure. Just to watch him pop his fingers into his mouth. He hums as he pulls them out, “You always taste so sweet.” He hovers over you, looking deeply into your eyes as he whispers, “Wanna see for yourself?” You hum, and he kisses you deeply, and you taste yourself on his tongue. You let out a little groan as he pulls away from your lips, a trail of saliva connecting you two. Both of you groan at the sight before it breaks, and he finally slips his briefs off.
His cock springs free, hitting his abdomen before he runs it along your folds. He rolls his hips against yours, causing you both to groan. Before he finally lines up with your entrances and slips in, you both moan at the feeling of him slowly filling you up. When he finally bottoms out, he groans, “You take me so well, baby…” He kisses you, taking your breath away as he starts slowly moving in and out of you. When he pulls away, you moan out his name. He nips at your lips as he starts setting a pace. You wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him to you until he drops his forearms on either side of you. You smile at him, and he grins back before you pull him in for a rough kiss. Your lips mashing together as he thrusts inside of you. You tug on his hair, finally getting what you want as he groans into your mouth, and you can swipe your tongue over his. You savor the kiss before he parts, and you pout as he looks into your eyes. “How can you look so innocent and sweet when you’re taking all of me.” He pauses his thrusts to whisper to you, “You just make me want to fuck you that much harder.” He pulls away to pepper kisses along your jaw, making you sigh contentedly as he starts thrusting into you faster.
He effectively calms you down from your earlier fright. That is until you hear something creaking along the hallway outside the room. Your eyes grow wide as you gulp, “W-what was that?” He groans as he thrusts into you harder before answering, “Oh…” He pauses, “It was just sounds of the building settling. It’s okay. Don’t be scared.” He leans in next to your ear to whisper, “I’ll protect you.” You give him a small nod before he resumes, and he starts whispering sweet nothings in your ear, “You are always so good to me…” You groan as his thrusts become rougher, as he adjusts one of his hands to hold your waist. And you hear the creaking noises again. This time closer to the door, the sound starts to freak you out, causing you to shiver, and he moans at the feeling. And whether it was from the creaking or Changmin groaning sweet nothings into your ear as he thrusts into you. You're not sure, but you start tearing up again. He looks up from your jaw to see the tears starting to streak your cheeks. He groans loudly at the sight, “Sh-shit, you look so pretty when you cry…” You sob, and he asks, “Are you scared, baby?” Pulling out before slamming back in to ask, “Or are you so fucked out you can’t control your tears?” You whine as he starts kissing your tears away, “C-Chang-min… Please…” He glares, “Which is it?” And you moan as you try to meet his thrusts, “B-Both…” He smirks as he moves his fingers from holding your waist in place to rubbing your clit, causing you to cry out his name, “That’s it, baby. Cry for me.”
You cry out harder as he rubs faster, “I-I’m close, Ji…” He smirks and puts more pressure on your clit as rubs circles over it, “Come on, baby, cum for me.” You cry harder as you hit your high, cumming all over his cock. He groans at the feeling of your walls convulsing around him. He groans, “(Y/n)... (Y/n), fuck, I’m gonna cum.” He looks over your tear-stained cheeks as he pulls his hand away from your clit. “Fuck… You’re so cute.” His hips stutter into yours as he cums. He wipes his hand on the duvet before wiping the remaining tears on your cheeks away. He asks, “You okay? I didn’t go too hard on you, did I?” You shake your head, “No.” He smiles as he gives you a gentle peck, “Good.” He lays gently over you as he tells you, “You did so well for me.” You take a second to catch your breath before asking, “Crying?” He turns red as he whispers, “Yeah…” against your skin. You giggle at him as you pull his face to yours, “You should have said so sooner.” You pull him in for a kiss, basking in the feeling. When he parts from your lips, he slips out. You both shudder at the feeling, making you both laugh. He lays beside you, looking at you fondly, “You’re so lovely.” You grin, “And tired.” He laughs, and you kiss his nose, “Thanks for distracting me from the horrors.” He smirks, “If this is what you need to distract you from horror, you should pick me up from inside more often.” You squint at him, “Don’t push your luck.” The two of you laugh before settling into a comfortable silence.
After lying there quietly for a while, just soaking in the ambiance, he gets up, cleaning the both of you up before helping you get dressed. He pulls on his shirt and pants before heading to the camera, taking off the masking tape. You join him as he waves at the camera, and you both stick your tongue out at it. Before he puts his hand out for you to take, and you slip your hand in his. He holds your hand tightly, and you bury your face into his shoulder as you walk back out of the haunted house together. He asks, “Baby, are you scared?” You shake your head ‘yes’ into his shoulder, and he says, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.” He walks you to the door, with no surprise scares along the way.
He pulls back the curtain and lets you out first. With the rain no longer coming down, you hand him over your keys. He opens your door and helps you in, buckling your seatbelt and shutting your door before heading to the driver’s side. He looks over and sees your pout, “You didn’t kiss me as you buckled me in.” He giggles as he puts the key in the ignition, turning towards you before gently kissing your swollen lips, “Better?” You hum as he turns the engine over. He asks, “Yours or mine?” “Yours if you promise ‘your kids’ will stay in the kitchen…” He laughs, “Our kids… But yeah, I’m sure they’ll be on their best behavior since you’ll be home.” You roll your eyes but give him a small smile, “Yeah… And if you say so.” He puts his hand on your thigh, squeezing it lightly before telling you, “Yeah, I do.”

false promises
modern! ellie x reader angst (sfw)
notes: this is my first piece , pls be kind (┬┬﹏┬┬)
summary: you're dating ellie but she keeps on letting you down
You sat on your fire escape, watching the many cars and people pass by your apartment. The tears on your face dried up as the wind brushed through the neighborhood.
You truly thought it would be different this time.
You planned everything, the old romcom movies, the homemade dinner, hell you even purchased an autographed copy of Ellie’s favorite book. Your texts had received no response, with each time you looked down, you saw the wallpaper of you guys smiling, a stark contrast from the tension in your body.
It was either wait for her like a fool or suck it up. You knew it wasn't going to be worth it. No excuse would help, and you needed the comfort of sleep. Yet, the thought was interrupted by your apartment door slamming open.
“Babe, I’m so sorry, but I’m home now. I have flowers for you,” shouted Ellie as she fumbled, dropping her bags and pulling her shoes off. She put the bouquet on the table. She knew that you had made her dinner, but she simply got lost in time.
You were still climbing out your window, trying to put a brave face on, and not simply just melt at her words. When has it been the last time she bought you flowers? Or even take you out on a date? You were still upset, but you felt a slight spark, Ellie was trying.
She looked good. Her button-up shirt complimented her soft features and you had always loved her short hair.
“Where did you get the flowers? Do you want me to reheat your dinner?” you smiled before quickly turning away so that Ellie didn't see your reddened eyes.
“That would be great, thanks” replied Ellie as she was still trying to catch her breath.
The bouquet was still on the table, lazily wrapped in purple paper. The daffodils were a bit wilted but it was the thought that counted. Maybe you guys could go on a cute flower date in the city and tell each other your favorite flowers, and get matching….
“It’s a funny story, there were just some random people on the corner giving out flowers, I think they were actually part of some organization…” rambled Ellie as she sat down on the table, scrolling through her phone.
You dropped her plate, the glass breaking on the floor as you began to process what she just said. Tears welled up in your eyes, and you knew you couldn’t stop them. You were sobbing just standing in the kitchen with your back facing Ellie.
How stupid could you be? Did you really believe Ellie had changed?
“Shit, are you ok? Here let, me help you. .” jumps up Ellie as she grabs the closest towel. Her arm wrapped around your stomach as she tried to calm you down.
You quickly pushed her off, doing anything to get away from her vicinity, her grasp, the comfort that you craved.
“Ellie, do you know what day it is?” you asked quietly, taking the time to look at her straight in the eyes. You held your breath hoping she would say the right thing, something that can salvage this situation.
Her face was simply confused. Her eyes looking at you, tracing the lines of worry on your face, searching for an answer.
Before you could say anything your phone suddenly dinged. The lock screen held a special notification.
< ellie and y/n’s anniversary>
Ellie looked at your phone, with sudden realization. Her face drooped, contorted with a mix of guilt and sadness. She had forgotten.
That was all you needed to know. You quickly ran to grab your coat. You needed fresh air and to leave this miserable apartment.
“Wait, you know I love you,” shouted Ellie as she tried to stop you.“You can’t leave, please just come sit and have dinner” tears forming around her eyes.
“ I need to leave and you definitely have no right to try and make me stay,” you shouted as anger shot through your body.
“It was one mistake. I swear I can make this up. You are my girl” Ellie begged as she held your wrists.
You were sick of it. Sick of the false promises, sick of the false hope she gives you, and most importantly sick of the crazy excuses you make up in your head, to still be with her. The happy memories passed through your head as you shook off her hands stepping out the door. That's all they were and all that she needed to be.

Stop cause why can i imagine that Trent would have this one wallpaper for his phone for when he goes to clubs or somewhere he knows he’ll get hit on
Like the wallpaper is his hand around your throat whip you looked all fucked out
Like he’s out at the club with some friends and your there but hanging out with his friends girlfriends and these girls come and try to hit on him but he just turns his phone on pretending to check the time but really he wants them to see the wallpaper so they know he’s taken and they immediately feel embarrassed and walk away. But he see what happened and walk over to him and he sees them looking so he wraps his hand around your throat and kisses you. 🤯
okay cause he deffo has like loads of different lock screen options, but when you guys are going out he makes sure the pic is of you with his hand around your neck. you guys are out with the players and the wags so of course the lads are getting a lot of attention from the random girls that are in the club. some girl was brave enough to approach your boyfriend and ask him to go dance with her and he declines, as he discreetly switches in his phone so that she can see the background. as soon as she sees the picture of you with trent's hand around her neck she's muttering an apology and walking off. you had been eyeing the whole thing from afar, trusting your boyfriend to handle it, so when you saw the girl walk away you excused yourself from the girls. he smirks as he sees you walking over, standing up to greet you as you both cast a quick glance at the girl who is now standing watching you both with her friends. you step closer to him and tell him "might as well give them something to talk about" he grins as he places his hand around your neck, gently squeezing the sides as he brings his lips down to yours. you guys are going for it, tongues clashing as you make out, only breaking away when you hear the boys start groaning in disgust.
inbox is open send me some ramble requests <3
( this is the lock screen vibe i'm getting )

Sabriel in the 70s conversation pit (my second most recent reblogged post)
In news I’m sure will horrify you as requester and everyone else who knows me for my horny niche, I actually made fluff with feelings- they get a fade to black tho so know in your heart that they fuck gross and nasty
Short sabriel fluff, misunderstandings and feelings under the cut ❤️
“Welp, this is me.”
Sam hovered just behind as Gabriel slipped a key into a lock that looked like it was just about ready to rust and fall apart, sure he was going to have to kick the door in and give the neighbours all something to call the cops about, but by some miracle the key still turned within and clicked the old thing open, sending the door creaking itself open on uneven hinges.
“Make yourself… comfortable, I guess,” Gabriel told him, hovering in the doorway as he watched a world he no longer lived in come to life with the flick of the lights.
Faded orange carpet, green walls, a fucking disco ball. Movie posters on the wall for some obscenely sexualised horror movie with the final girl splayed out in the monsters arms, and a boxy tv on one of those rounded tables.
It was seventies in a way Sam had never been old enough or rich enough to experience firsthand, his encounter with it was mostly floral wallpapers in motels, and the playboy magazine that used to be Dean’s that he’d stolen, which might have even been John’s that Dean had stolen first, which was… a lot grosser now that he was old enough to think about it.
The tables were red, the counter tops were red, the chair seats were red- none of it worked together, which in its own gauche way seemed to work. If Sam had to conjure an image of where the trickster might reside, he might very well conjure this very image. It was enough to make him want to laugh, at the predictability, at the cliche, at the almost vulgar way Gabriel had set up an apartment to look like a set he could picture tall and tan oiled men pushing over blonde babysitters in what looked like a ‘sex pit’ of a living space sunken into the floor, all to the tune of Girls On Film.
It would be very funny, if that person still existed.
This had been a home, and yet Gabriel wandered around the furniture as though he were a stranger, afraid to touch any of it too much. He stuck out like a sore thumb in a space he would have blended in just a few years ago, instead he cringed away from the performance of fun and sexuality. Despite being a man of small stature Gabriel had always taken up a lot of space with a big presence, but here among relics of things he didn’t want or need anymore he just seemed so much more impossibly small; perhaps it was the way he refused to look up from his shoes, like if he raised his head to look at the world he used to fit into he might fall apart and he’d just managed to get himself together after so long, he’d only just gotten brave enough to let Sam drive him here and open up a time capsule from a life pre-hell.
“Thanks for doing this, by the way,” he called back to Sam as he wandered around barstools to get to the kitchen. “There shouldn’t be much to pack.”
“You want me to get started anywhere in particular-“ Sam started, watching Gabriel swing the fridge door open and then immediately slam it shut with absolute disgust. “We’re not bringing the fridge, huh?”
“Absolutely not, don’t open that if you value your life.”
He wandered off down toward a hallway, presumably where he’d find the bedroom and most of Gabriel’s personal possessions that he’d care about keeping, but the guy appeared right in front of him to cut him off from going any further.
“You uh, don’t wanna go in the bedroom until I clear some stuff out first either.”
Sam, with the roll of his eyes, “Gabriel, I’m a grown up. I don’t care if you have sex toys, just tell me which drawer and I’ll leave it alone.”
“It’s cute you think it’s a drawer. Don’t go in there.”
He didn’t know if it was better or worse not to know, not knowing saved him the potential trauma of seeing something he was not prepared to know about his only very recently offical boyfriend, but the not knowing left his mind running rampant with ideas that were probably a lot more dramatic than the reality hidden behind the door- he just thought he deserved a heads up beforehand if Gabriel needed to put him in a little cage with a tail in his ass in order to get off.
“Well, is there anything I can touch?”
He hadn’t meant to, but it had been a long drive and he was tired, and it left an air of shortness to his question. He was tired, Gabriel had asked him to come all the way out here and now he wasn’t even allowed to touch- it almost always felt like Gabriel didn’t want to make space for him, and that wasn’t entirely fair to say when he knew this was hard, but it was hard too to be guarded away from bubble wrapping lava lamps like it was all sacred ground of a better life before he was stuck with Sam.
“Please don’t be mad at me.”
And it’s all over just like that, before it can even start. With the mighty archangel Gabriel, pulling at his fingers, lip wobbling like he was waiting to be yelled at. Punished. Put in his place.
Again, frustrating, especially when neither of them were wrong, and neither of them could help it.
He throws his hands up in defeat, and follows the stairs down into the sunken lounge space to find a seat to bide his time, “Fine. Let me know when you’re done.”
“I don’t know what I did,” Gabriel said, following him down like a little mouse. “If I did something wrong you have to tell me.”
It felt silly trying to find the words to lay it out so bare and plain, that surrounded by gaudy riches Sam felt insecure. Insecure about the kind of life he could provide someone like Gabriel- something like Gabriel. An archangel; a god; a playboy. What could a poor man who was too scared of loud noises and had a bad back provide for the likes of him when what Gabriel enjoyed most was luxury in excess and being the center of a party? How many others had passed through the door, how many lovers had he shared a bedspace Sam wasn’t allowed to enter? What kind of a life was it for a social butterfly to live buried under the earth with Sam and his only friends- his older brother, and Gabriel’s brother; who were basically obligated to be his friend based on principle. Sam wasn’t fun, his idea of fun was being left alone for a solid fifteen hours to get a really good sleep and maybe jerk off without having to wonder if Dean was going to kick in the motel door at any moment. That’s who Gabriel was saddling himself with, a man who was thirty seven and still needed to sleep with his big brother in the room lest he have bad dreams, he couldn’t even give him a motel room to fuck in.
But Gabriel could do all those things if he really wanted to now that he’d gained a little more strength back, and if it’s what made him happy then it’s what would make Sam happy, because what really made him happy was Gabriel! But hadn’t, not even once, tried to allow Sam into any part of his life. It was all grand tales of mighty conquests and high speed chases, and none of the actual living- at least, not with Sam. Maybe Gabriel had another boyfriend, a better one that he saw on weekends when Sam was away hunting with Dean. One that was cool, and funny, and liked all of the things Gabriel liked…
Okay… now he’s just spinning out, so he has to say something before he creates a whole pretend man to get angry at.
“Why don’t you want me involved in your life?”
Gabriel stared at him hard for a good long minute, long enough for Sam to flush a deep shade of red with embarrassment.
“Never mind-“
“You are my life.”
Gabriel says it so matter of factly that it’s now Sam’s turn to sit there gobsmacked and staring, and while it makes his heart swell a little he isn’t quite sure he believes fully that Gabriel wasn’t saying that just to shut him up.
“I don’t think you understand what I’m saying-“ Sam stopped and gestured at all of Gabriel’s things, “-This. Your life. Who you are. You never let me be a part of it, you never let me in.”
“This isn’t my life,” Gabriel said, an echo of exhaustion to his tone and the way he slumped into the tacky printed pillows. “This was a thing I did. I don’t let you be a part of it because I’m embarrassed. For whatever reason you’ve decided that you see something of worth in me, and I don’t want you free roaming my past and remembering I’m some kind of scumbag.”
“I don’t care that you were… very… sexually active, Gabriel.”
“This is about more than just the sex- this isn’t me! This life isn’t something I want to associate with you!”
A line of tension forms in Sam’s jaw as he snaps his mouth shut, but before he can glare and storm out, Gabriel continues.
“I’m building something new, something better with you. All of this is buried under a mountain of shit with Loki and what happened that I don’t want to begin to unpack, I just want to go! I don’t want you in here becoming tangled up with everything that feels so bad when you’re the only good thing I’ve got!”
Well, now he just feels stupid.
The shame must be visible all over his face because Gabriel scoots across the lounge to drag him in close, closing the distance first for Sam to the be able to put his arm around him.
“Right… sorry.”
Gabriel shrugged, “I don’t know what there is to be insecure about, it’s not like any of this was ever real.”
“It was though, even if it’s all tainted and bad now this was your life, and I can- I want to help you pack what you still love and bring it home. Pretending it’s not real isn’t going to fix anything, let me help you do this right. Say goodbye.”
There was a deep sigh from under Sam’s arm as Gabriel relented, whether he believed Sam’s quack science or not was up in the air but he’d do it anyway.
“Fine. You want to say goodbye to the house? I feel like the only appropriate way to say goodbye is the same way I said hello. To bring it full circle.”
“Sure,” Sam agreed before he knew what that meant, because all he heard was what sounded like Gabriel making healthy choices, and it wasn’t until the angel had straddled his lap that he understood just how he’d christened the house. “How many people have you screwed on this couch?”
“I mean, they call it the conversation lounge for the great many guests you can have all at once… I don’t know that we were doing much talking though.”
“Oh god…” Sam sighed and scrunched his nose up, trying not to focus too hard on the couch and if he felt any stiff spots beneath where he was sitting.
“Oh no, Sam. God was definitely not in the room when that was happening.”
“Oh, shut up,” Sam groaned and leaned in to kiss Gabriel before he could open his mouth with another disgusting comment, grinning into Gabriel’s throat at the playful shriek out his mouth as Sam toppled them over into the pillows, to give Gabriel a touch of something sweet to remember a chunk of his life by.

(Pt 5 of the Steddie ft. Rose Harrington AU aka my pathological need to sneak Wayne into every fic i write) | full version AO3 link
Steve was on Eddie's mind every second of every day. He couldn't believe that guy was even real: twenty years old and taking a responsibility that his father wouldn't, having so much love to give to a lost little girl when he obviously got so little of it from his parents.
There were two things he had to admit to himself. The first one: he was more than just in love. He was head-over-heels for Steve Harrington. And the second one: he wasn't nearly as brave as Steve. He knew that dating Steve would come as a package deal with becoming a stepdad – Rose might not technically be Steve's daughter, but in practice, there really wasn't much of a difference. And that thought scared the shit out of him.
'So who's the lucky fella this time?' Wayne asked him one evening, when the two of them were sharing a quiet night at home.
Eddie tried not to choke on the air in his lungs and stared at his uncle for a good few seconds. 'What?' he finally managed to utter.
'C'mon, Ed,' Wayne said. 'I been watchin' the game for almost an hour and you're pretending to watch it with me, without making a single remark 'bout how stupid it is.' His uncle snorted softly. 'You didn't even know we were watchin', did ya?'
Eddie stared at the tv screen, where – as he now noticed – a whole bunch of sweaty dudes was running around chasing a ball, then back at Wayne. 'I did not,' he admitted.
'So you wanna tell me 'bout him?'
Eddie sighed dramatically. 'He's perfect, Wayne,' he blurted out. 'He's fucking perfect, I'm not even exaggerating this time. But I can't ask him out.'
'He straight?'
'I'm pretty sure he's not,' said Eddie. 'We've been flirting a lot, I'm not even that worried about him rejecting me if I would actually make a move. But –' he sighed again, to make extra clear how distressed he was about the whole thing, 'He has a half-sister. A three-year-old. And he's basically raising her all by himself. So that's... That's a kind of terrifying commitment to make.'
'Hm?'
After years of living with Wayne, his uncle didn't even need to ask full-phrased questions in order to keep a conversation going. The two of them could understand each other perfectly well without words.
'I'm kind of serious about him, I guess,' Eddie admitted. 'So if I'd go for it, I'd also have to commit to his sister. And that's... I'm nowhere near ready for anything like that.'
Wayne frowned. He lit a cigarette, taking his time to come up with a proper reaction, thoughtful as ever.
'D'you think I was ready for you when you showed up on my doorstep all those years ago?' he finally said. 'Course I wasn't. I wasn't much older than you are now. And there you were, not a soul in the world lookin' out for ya. You won't hear me say that I didn't have a choice, 'cause that's bullshit, there's always a choice. You can always run away. But I made the choice to keep you and I never regretted it, not once.' Wayne paused to utter a soft chuckle. 'Okay, maybe I did, that one time when I was putting new wallpaper up at Maddy's trailer and you decided it'd be a good idea to sit your ass down in that bucket of glue and got the whole place flooded with it.'
'Yeah, I remember that!' Eddie laughed at the memory. 'I think I was still sticky for days after.'
'Got what you deserved there.'
Eddie lit a cigarette for himself, too, mulling over Wayne's words.
'So you think I should go for it, with Steve?' he asked.
Wayne sighed and took another drag of his cigarette to buy himself some more time to think. 'Look, I'm never tellin' you what to do, boy. All I'm sayin' is, it ain't easy, dating when there's a kid involved. Why d'you think I never been interested in any of that?' He shot Eddie a meaningful glance. 'It's 'cause you've always been my number one, Eddie, simple as that. And that's probably the same for your Steve and his little girl. It's up to you to decide if you can handle that or not.'
'It's fucking scary,' Eddie admitted.
'I know.' Wayne nodded. 'I know. I been scared for years after I took you in. Hell, sometimes I still am. That's an unavoidable part of raising a kid, even if you're not a real parent. You're gonna be scared to make mistakes, and you're sure as hell gonna make some mistakes. Lord knows I did.' Wayne looked at Eddie with slightly raised eyebrows, almost as if he was assessing him. 'But I like to think I didn't do that bad of a job, after all. Even though I had no idea what I was doin'. Makes me think that as long as the love is there, things will be alright.'
Eddie felt slightly embarrassed about the tears he had to blink away. 'You did a pretty okay job, old man,' he said in a somewhat choked voice.
Wayne didn't say anything, but he didn't have to. The slightly brusque pat he gave to Eddie's shoulder was saying enough.
🎵
The conversation with Wayne definitely helped to make Eddie a little less scared of the whole thing. After meeting Rose, his weekly lessons with Steve had become a little less flirty, like they were both holding themselves back – like Eddie wasn't the only one who was scared. And Eddie still had a lot to figure out, but he knew that he enjoyed his time with Steve in the practice room more than anything, and he wanted nothing more than to see that adorable blush on his cheeks or that hesitant smile around his lips. So maybe he joked around with him a little bit more than he was supposed to. And maybe he helped him with his finger positions a little more often than was strictly necessary. And maybe he spent a whole lesson on his posture, holding his shoulders and rubbing the tension out of his back, even though he didn't really need to. And maybe, maybe, it became a little bit more difficult with each passing week not to lean in a little bit further into his personal space and kiss him.
And maybe he was a little bit too disappointed when Steve called him on a Monday to tell him that he had to cancel his next lesson.
'Lucas usually babysits Rose on Wednesdays, but he has this important game that he can't miss, and I don't wanna bother any of the others, because I'm sure they'll all wanna be at the game to support Lucas and I don't wanna ask too much of them, so...' He trailed off, not really finishing his sentence; Eddie knew him well enough by now to recognize it as a habit of Steve whenever he was feeling anxious. 'I'm sorry.'
'No, don't apologize for that,' Eddie said immediately. 'Listen, why don't you just take Rose with you to the lesson?'
There were a few seconds of silence at the other end of the line.
'Are you sure about that?' Steve sounded hesitant. 'I don't wanna – I mean, it'll probably be distracting to have her around and –'
'Steve,' Eddie cut him off. 'Don't worry about it. I'd love to have her around. She's awesome, I'd love to get to know her better.'

The Haunting of Oya Library
Fujio had come to her, excited. He found an old library near the housing estate they had all grown up in and he wanted to explore it. He dragged Hina out of her apartment. She had been getting ready for a Halloween party. It was 9pm when he came and got her. He was lucky she had a crush on him.
“You are the biggest idiot I have ever met,” Hina was getting tired of being dragged through the city. “I was supposed to go to a party my friend is throwing, but no, what Fujio wants, Fujio gets,” Fujio stopped and turned to the girl, pouting. “Come on Hina, it’ll be fun, the others are already there, plus you look so cute in your witch costume,” Hina couldn’t form words after that comment.
“You said this place is near Hope Hill?” Fujio nodded, he saw the others and waved to them. “Fujio, that place is haunted,” Hina was familiar with this place. “Tsukasa, why are you letting him do this?” The blond boy just shrugged, “He’ll tire himself out eventually, the first creak of a floorboard and he’ll be gone,” they both knew that wasn’t true, Fujio had boundless amounts of energy and zero self-preservation skills.
Hina looked at the others. Shibaman and Tsuji were both there, Shohei and Dai jumped at any chance to hang out with Fujio. Kiyoshi and Yasushi were talking quietly, that was a bad sign. Jamou was there, jumping at every noise. The one that surprised her the most was Yosuke, he had a deep scowl on his face. Hina was the only one in a costume, she was missing the hat and prop broom but the others could tell she was meant to be a witch.
“Come on Hina, it will be fun,” Fujio was hard to resist, he was like an excited puppy. Hina sighed “If I get hurt you have to be my caretaker,” Tsuji snorted “You’ll have to wear a nurse outfit,” Hina glared at him “Mind your business skittle hair,” Yosuke and Shibama covered their laughs with coughs. Tsuji knew about her crush on the boy.
“Come on, the sooner we go in the sooner we can leave,” Hina took the flashlight that Tsukasa handed her. Fujio made quick work of the door, he and Dai pried it open. “Ladies first,” Hina turned to Yasushi. “He said ladies first Yasushi,” The blond boy rolled his eyes as the others laughed.
Hina was scared and she was trying not to show it. “Come on Hina, I’ll walk in with you,” Shohei was too good for this world. She nodded while walking beside him. The building smelt like an old attic, something moldy but also dry. “This place smells like my grandpa’s house,” Fujio didn’t mention his grandpa often, the others just nodded. As they walked into the lobby of the library the skies clouded over and a violent thunderstorm began. “That’s not erie at all,” Hina laughed at Dai’s dry humor.
Once upon a time the library must have been a lively place. They walked past a children’s section, the brightly decorated area dreary and dark. The wallpaper was peeling and the bookshelves were falling apart. Books and other debris were spread out. Floorboards stuck out, just inviting someone to trip and fall. It was quiet except for their steps. That didn’t stop Jamou from jumping at everything. “Jamou calm down, there's nothing,” Hina was putting on a brave face but she was scared too.
The eleven flashlights made the place pretty bright. Hina was a little sad to see the place desolate, she remembered once coming to this library with her dad for a storytime, she was maybe 4 or 5 years old. The library closed soon after, no one had any idea why. A lot of the furniture was gone, probably taken by locals for their own dilapidated homes.
She frowned at the bookshelves, still full of books. She and Shohei walked down one aisle as the others separated. She ran her fingers along the spins of the books, looking at the faded titles. “Hina,” she turned to Shohei. He leaned close to her “If you leave I won’t tell anyone,” She smiled at him, he was so cute. “I want to stay,” the boy nodded and just followed her.
She took a book off the shelves. She dusted off the cover, reading it aloud ‘Halloween Stories’ it read in blood red cursive. Hina found the others and held up the book “Look, it's perfect for tonight,” she opened the book, reading aloud from a random page.
She read from the page for a few minutes when Jamou grabbed the book from the girl. “That’s enough,” Hina smiled “It’s just a story, right guys?” She turned to look at the others but they were gone. She turned to Jamou. “Where did they go?” Jamou stepped closer to Hina. It was just the two of them. “Fujio? Tsukasa?” “Shibaman? Tsuji?” “Yosuke?” “Sho? Dai?” “Yasushi? Kiyoshi?” there was no answer.
It felt like the temperature was dropping rapidly. Goosebumps rose on Hina’s arms, her thin dress and stockings did nothing to keep her warm. “Is it cold in here or is it just me?” Jamou could see Hina’s breath and when he tested it himself he could see his own breath. “It’s not supposed to be this cold tonight, why did it suddenly get cold?” Hina supposed it also wasn’t supposed to rain but the storm was still raging outside.
The hairs on her neck stood up and she felt a presence behind her. “Hina,” Jamou’s voice was almost silent. She turned and relaxed “Tsukasa, you jerk, that wasn’t funny,” Jamou knew that wasn’t Tsukasa. “Tsukasa?” his arms shot out and grabbed Hina, his mouth opened to reveal fangs. He tried to bite her neck but Hina pushed back. “What is wrong with you, this isn’t funny,” Tsukasa’s eyes glowed a dangerous red.
“Oh my god, the book,” Jamou held onto the book tightly. “This place is really haunted,” Fujio showed up, his eyes also glowing. “Get away from us,” both boys, possessed by a vampire, stalked toward them. “Give us some blood,” Hina had to think quickly.
She pulled Jamou toward a book shelf and using all her strength pushed it. It didn’t take much for it to fall on the two vampires. “You killed them!” Hina shook her head “No I didn’t, come on, we need to hide, turn off your flashlight, if they’re possessed than the others are too,” Jamou did as Hina said and then ran deeper into the library.
They found themselves in what had to be the computer lab, there were no computers but they found a place to crouch down out of sight. “Okay so if Tsukasa and Fujio are vampires, that means the others are the other creatures mentioned, who was next in the passage?” Jamou found the passage “Werewolves,” Hina wished she had her phone, but it was sitting on her bed back at home.
They heard growls, and they froze. “We can smell you,” that was Shibman’s voice, at least it sounded like him. Jamou started sweating but Hina was trying to keep it together. “Just stay with me, we can make it to the next day, so will the others,” Jamou nodded. “We are going to find you, you smell so good,” Hina noticed they were only talking about one person. “I think I’m the target, since I read the passage out loud,” Jamou was scared for the girl.
“We are going to trap them in here,” the door slammed open and they looked up. Shibaman and Tsuji were standing there. Their eyes glowed yellow and they were covered in short fur. “When I count to the three we run for the door,” Jamout nodded, clutching the book to him. Once the two werewolves were away from the door Hina used her fingers to count. They ran for the door and shut it, wedging a metal chair they found under the door.
Jamou and Hina ventured further into the library, moving as quiet as possible. “Frankenstein’s monster is next,” Hina figured that had to be Yosuke. They sat down on the ground, trying to catch their breaths. “Okay, we can do this Jamou, we can survive the night,” Jamou nodded wildly.
Soon enough the sound of groaning was getting closer. Yosuke came around the corner, his eyes glowing green. He zeroed in on Hina and he moved as quickly as he could. Hina spotted a storage closet, “Come on,” Jamou got up and followed her. Hina got the storage room door opened and lured Yosuke into it. They quickly shut the door and pushed a bookshelf in front of it.
“Five down, four to go,” Hina was proud of her quick thinking. Witches were next, she wasn’t sure who that could be. Her and Jamou sat in silence for a while, they needed a plan. They didn’t know how much time had passed but they just had to make it to sunrise.
The silence was broken by a loud cackle. They jumped up and looked around. The laugh continued. Shohei came around the corner, his eyes glowing blue, a sly smile on his face. Hina was sad that Shohei was possessed. She’d have to incapacitate him somehow.
Jamou huddled behind Hina, he was getting scared. When Shohei got close enough to her, she punched him hard, knocking him out. He crumpled to the floor and Hina frowned at Jamou. “I didn’t want to do that,” She was sad to have to do that. Jamou understood. They knew that ghosts were next and wherever Shohei was Dai was not far behind.
Soon enough Dai came around the corner, he was almost transparent. He floated toward them. Hina wasn’t so sure they could escape from him. “Jamou, I don’t think we can get away from him,” They braced themselves but Dai just floated past them, not sparing them a glance. They relaxed only for a moment.
They relaxed for a moment when debris started raining down on them. As the thunder boomed outside they heard a laugh that was unmistakably Yasushi. The wild scream had to be Kiyoshi. Sure enough it was Kiyoshi and Yashushi. They were perched on top of a bookshelf and throwing books and anything they could get their hands on at Hina and Jamou. “Of course those two became ghouls, those are the last of the creatures,” Jamou opened the book to the passage one more time. “You’re right,”
Jamou looked at his phone “It's almost morning,” it didn't feel like that much time had passed but here they were. Yasushi and Kiyoshi were laughing like maniacs, which wasn’t that strange, but they continued to pelt Hina and Jamou with books, one book hit her in the face, she was sure to have a bruise. “Help me push this over,” Jamou nodded and they got the bookcase to fall over and they ran.
Hina was exhausted, she was tired of running and hiding and hurting her friends. She couldn’t help but cry out of frustration. Jamou tried his best to comfort her but he was tired too. They found what used to be the checkout desks and got under it, curling up into the corners. “What if they stay possessed?” Hina shook her head “Don’t say that, it won’t happen, give me the book,” Jamou handed Hina the book and she opened it to the last page. She began to read aloud again, the last passage was full of promises that the monsters of halloween were just pretend, something made up by humans for entertainment. As she read more she and Jamout fell asleep, the sound of the rain storm calming them.
“Hina!” “Jamou!” The shouts made them jolt awake. They looked at each other as their names were called again. “What should we do?” Hina shrugged and crawled out from under the desk. She got up on her knees and peaked over the edge. She could see that the sun was out, no sign of the rain from last night.
“Come on you two, this isn’t funny,” that was Tsukasa’s voice, he sounded like he’d been in the fight of his life. “Hina I’m gonna count to three,” That was Yosuke. “Don’t be mean to her,” that was Shohei. “Come on little one, is Jamou with you?” That's what Shibaman called her.
“Come on,” Hina carefully stood up from behind the desk. “There you are! Is that where you were all night?” Jamou stood next to her, the book was in Hina’s hands. “What happened last night, I don’t remember anything, Tsukasa and I woke up under a bookshelf,” Fujio was rolling his shoulders. “Tsuji and I woke up in the computer lab,” Hina and Jamou shared a look as the other continued “I was in a storage room, I think I have a spider web in my hair,” “Well I woke up leaning against a bookshelf,” poor Shohei had a bruise from where Hina punched him. “What about you Dai,” the boy shrugged. “I feel like I was walking around all night, I ended up in the kids section,” Hina nodded and stepped around the desk. Yasushi and Kiyoshi had also woken up under a bookcase as well.
Her foot caught in a loose floor tile and she tripped. She almost fell but maintained her footing. She looked at the book in her hands and at her friends. “I’m gonna put this away,” she found the book's spot and slid it into the space it belonged in. She wiped her hands on the skirt of her dress and turned to look at her friends.
Fujio walked up to her, he pulled her into his arms. “Are you okay Hina? I was so worried when I woke up and couldn’t find you,” Hina blushed, they were surrounded by their friends. “Fujio I’m okay, everything is okay,” Fujio pulled back and took Hina’s face into his hands and in front of everyone kissed her.
He pulled away from the kiss and hugged her again. “I thought last night would be fun but I think something bad happened, did something bad happen?” Hina pulled away from the hug and shook her head “No, nothing happened, I think we all explored until we fell asleep,” Fujio seemed to buy that excuse. He noticed her red rimmed eyes “What made you cry? You also have a bruise,” He looked at the others, his eyes analyzing them. “It’s nothing, please Fujio,” he decided not to push her anymore.
He took her hand and they all left the library. As they left the old building Hina turned to look back at the old building. She shivered in the fall breeze. Fujio shrugged off his button up and put it around her shoulders. The costume she wore was thin and all she wanted to do was take a hot shower and wash off the grime of the night. Fujio promised to take her on a proper date at some point. He walked her home making sure she got home safely.
Later that day she got a text from Jamou. He wanted to know what they should do. Hina told him that they can forget the events of that night. He texted her that the library building had collapsed a few hours after they left the place. That sent a chill down Hina’s spine, the collapse could have happened with them in it and then they could have really been hurt. Hina didn’t want to think of that library ever again. It was gone and it would stay gone forever.
Later that day there was a knock on her door. She thought it might be Fujio so she happily opened the door. There was no one there. Something caught her eye and she looked down. A shiver ran down her spine.
Laying on the welcome mat was the book from the library.

EAH Dorm Rooms Headcanon pt 12
Hunter & Dexter
What do you get when one roommate is a prince & the other is a huntsman? Two epic roommates!
Hunter & Dexter are the opposite of each other in many ways and I don't just mean the whole Royal/Rebel thing. Dexter is a prince who was brought up in a world of elegance while Hunter was raise to be a hunter (pun not intended for crying out loud his last name is Huntsman) who was brought up to be tough and a hero.
Yet, the two are alike in many ways. Both feel like they can't add up to their families' reputations and both are in love with girls that are not part of their future stories. Which makes them perfect friends since they understand where the other is coming from with high expectations from their families and destinies, they obviously confide in each other.
This is the only time we see the dorm, but it's purple. Dexter's color is blue (as the rest of the Charming siblings) & Hunter's is green, in the same episode Ashlynn's divider was purple too, so it was an animation error.
In the books the Charming family and the Huntsman family have family crests (Dexter's is on his shirt) so a majority of the students have family crest (Faybelle has one and I think Raven also had one in the books).
Hunter's side: As the future huntsman for Red Riding Hood & Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs, Hunter is not only a hero but a nature boy. He'll save damsels, cute furry animals, heck he'll save dragons.
Despite being the traditional huntsman, Hunter is in love with a princess and would rather save animals than eat them. Being a Rebel gives Hunter the choice to be himself and to be with Ashlynn.
We alI know Hunter is a nature lover and I can see his side of the dorm resembling a wooden cabin or a woodsy version or Ramona's room. I doubt Hunter's wallpaper is like the one above (looking at it too long gives me a migrane).
On Hunter's divder wall he would have pics of his friends and pets (Pesky and a griffion). After, revealing his relationship with Ashlynn he has pics of her too.
Instead of going to Throne Furnishings Hunter made most of his furniture, thrift shopped, or brought some from home. But being a nature love I doubt he cut down any trees, instead he used fallen trees.
Before Hunter and Ashlynn revealed themselves as a couple they (hopefully) disguised themselves during dates in public places so no one would notice them. Now that everyone knows they're dating Hunter and Ashlynn have closets/wardrobes full of costumes that they still wear for fun.
He totally has a collection of bows & arrows and axes on his wall. As mentioned above about Hunter making his own furniture he makes birdhouses and arrows, so he might have a craft section on his side of the dorm with saws, paints, and hammers and sometimes invited Ashlynn and Cedar over to help design birdhouses and such.
Seeing that Hunter is on the bookball (football) team, cheerleader, archery, and etc. he must have a cast full of trophies.
In the webseries Hunter has a pet squrriel named Pesky and a pet griffon. Given Pesky's size he's one of the few pets that can live in the dorms and acts as Hunter's alarm clock to wake him up.
Hunter practices the flute so he might practice in his dorm like a desk or something (I'm running out of ideas now).
In the books the Huntsman family have family crests and on Hunter's legacy day outfit it appears to have Celtic knots. So, I believe Hunter is half Native American and Irish.
Hunter loves playing video games when he's not doing anything athletic and being roommates with a gamer like Dexter the two play together. Dexter also got Hunter a green camouflage gamer's chair as a gift.
On the balcony Hunter grows veggies he eats & flowers to give Ashlynn. Once, Dexter starts dating Raven, Hunter teaches Dexter how to grow flowers that Raven's magic can't wilt.
Dexter's side: Not only is Dexter a prince charming, he's the (second son) of the main Charming family line. So. he is expected to be strong, brave, and well - charming.
Despite this Dexter is clumsy, shy, and nerdy. But he makes up for that with being smart, crafty, and a big sweetie. Dexter's a Royal so he won't disappoint his family due to his lack of destiny. He's one of the few who is an ally to the Rebel party and tries to be opened minded.
On Dexter's divider wall he would have pics of his siblings and his friends. And when he finally dates Raven pictures of her.
The only time we get to see Dexter's side of the dorm is in 'Class of Classics'. Like his siblings he has a canopy bed and his walls would be a shade of blue since that's the family color. As a glasses wearer I must say putting your glasses on a windowsill is stupid, Dexter! I noticed the little vines on the wall, so Dex lets some of nature takeover his room.
Dexter is a techie so I can see his room having tech equipment. He also a gamer so he has a fancy blue gamer chair (and he brought one for Hunter).
As much as Dex loves tech he loves reading from books. When hes not on his mirrorphone, mirrorpad, or etc. he's reading a book with Mr. Cottonhorn. Dexter has a huge bookshelf with books on the topics of: comic books, tech, poetry, and romance novels.
Despite being a tech nerd Dexter seems to have other interest besides that such as being on the bookball (football) team. He also seems to juggle, which I doubt he learned to do at home. Dexter has a knack for knitting & crocheting after finding the Crochet Hook of (Great) Aunt Arachne (More lore headcanons later). So, he knits and crochets in his dorm and Hunter supports him on it and he gives sweaters and stuff to his friends.
On the balcony that he and Hunter share, Hunter teaches Dexter how to grow flowers that Raven's magic can't wilt.
Dexter owns a jackalope by the name of Mr. Cottonhorn. Giving Mr. Cottonhorn's size he's one of the few pets that can stay in the dorm. I can see him and Pesky causing mischief.

Alphabet Reading Challenge, Age 23
Happy Virgo season! I've been getting back into reading lately, so I'm doing a reading challenge for the next year. I've chosen themes that match each letter of the alphabet, and I have until my 24th birthday to read one book that fits each theme. I've run the calculations, and it's an average of 20 pages a day, so totally manageable.
The Rules
1: Not all of these are new to me, some are rereads.
2: I can read them in any order, whenever I want. I can read all of Smile within a day, but it will definitely take me longer to read some of these other ones.
3: I can get a head start on the longer ones, I just have to finish them while I'm 23. I'm already halfway through Emma, for example.
4: Ulysses and Living Judaism are way too long for me to read within the allotted time, so I've put a goal of 250 pages in for those ones. If I'm finished with all the other ones by the time I turn 24 and I have time, I'll continue with these and see how far I can get.
5: A couple of these are a stretch, for example Madame Bovary is French and therefore not Victorian.
Autobiography - The Woman in Me, Britney Spears
Banned Book - A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess
Classic - Emma, Jane Austen
Dystopian - The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood
Epistolary - Dracula, Bram Stoker

Graphic Novel - Smile, Raina Telgemeier
Horror - Carrie, Stephen King
Irish (setting or author) - Ulysses, James Joyce (goal: 250 pages)
Judaism - Living Judaism, R. Wayne D. Dosick (goal: 250 pages)
Kids' Book - The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Languages (translated) - The Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka
Mystery - A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, Holly Jackson
Non Fiction - The Trifecta Passport, Amber Walker
Over a Year on my TBR - One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel García Márquez
Personal Development - Buy Yourself the Damn Flowers, Tam Kaur
Quiet (no audiobooks allowed) - The Yellow Wallpaper, Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Remembrance - Night, Elie Wiesel
Sci-fi - Brave New World, Aldous Huxley

Dancing
Saimon curled an arm around Frankie's waist, pulling him in flush. With his other hand he positioned the bottle of champagne to perfectly pour into his beloved's mouth. A moment later his mouth was on his to lick the flavour from his perfect mouth. The crowd moved around them, planets around a sun. Nobody looked twice except to admire them, want them.
The light in the club was low, golden, more akin to candlelight than the too recent electricity. The band onstage played bass low enough to feel it through your feet and a voice that made you shiver in pleasure. The bar was dark mahogany to match the chairs and tables, the wallpaper a little tobacco stained but still rich. All in all, it was an opulent place a little gone to seed. Unremarkable, perhaps. It was the patrons that made it magic.
Men danced with men. Women danced with women. Men danced with women dressed as men, men dressed as women, those who desired to be nothing at all. There were kisses, sweet, desperate, longing, polite. Embraces. Hands in pockets. Hand in hand. Firsts and lasts. Make ups and break ups. An entire spectrum of love hidden from the street above.
Saimon drank it all in like the champagne he poured into Frankie. The love. The hate. Especially the lust. Always the pulsing lust. It's a thread that ties them all together. He feels the eyes on them, on the way he touches Frankie, the way they look together. He wants to give them a show. His lips find the tender place just underneath Frankie's ear to suck on, to graze his teeth against. He can't help the smile that grows as he does so. Without looking, he throws out the hand with the bottle, expecting someone to catch it. They do.
He moves to the music, keeping Frankie close, pressed as together as he can manage while still dancing. It's another moment out of many where he wishes he could get even closer, break him open and fit inside. Close was never close enough. Nothing was ever enough.
There's other members of the cult here. Other boys and girls who had signed away their souls for the chance of a kiss. He could give them more than kisses. A lifetime of love lived bravely. Who could want more than that? Cults had been built on less. Some of the younger whelps had assumed he was too alien for places like this. Too old, too stuffy. They didn't know this is where he thrived, felt the most at home. He had been coming to this bar since it was barely a plank of wood with three bottles of liquor. Him and Frankie had stamped their mark on every gay club of note. They owned this city of theirs.
He growls playfully, winds his fingers through Frankie's, squeezes hard enough that the bones bend slightly. He doesn't need to say he loves him, though he will later while Frankie grasped the sheets. It burned through him with a heat he was sure his lover could feel. Here, among their people, their love was as bright as the sun.
