tmz f1 driver lando norris and singer yn were seen in a pretty heated fight at a studio earlier tonight! apparently lando left her alone in tears. for those who don’t know, he and the singer have been best friends for a few years now, with fans recently speculating online about a relationship confirmation coming soon from the pair but those dreams were crushed when lando was spotted kissing a mystery woman on valentine’s day (see last slide).

fan1 omg he’s such a WHORE

fan2 YN STANS WE RIDE AT DAWN 🤺

fan3 this is so sad, man. you can tell yn loves him and i thought lando loved her but clearly that isn’t true. she deserves so much better!!

fan4 leaving her alone in tears is such an evil move…lando norris you shall die by my sword

fan5 it was clear lando wasn’t ever going to see her as a serious option. she did this to herself!!

⤷ fan6 yn didn’t do anything to herself, lando is the one who keeps stringing her along, especially lately.

fan7 our girl needs to cut lando off, take time to heal and when she’s ready, move on with someone who actually loves her.

yourusername i never wanted to bring this to social media but i was made aware that lando released a statement today that as you can see from above, is full of nothing but lies. we’ve been best friends for a few years now and i had been in love with him for almost all of them. we recently admitted our feelings for each other and decided to see where things would go between us. it was new, but we were relationship and he did cheat on me. i don’t know who he thinks he’s fooling but i haven’t seen or spoken to him since that night at the the studio and things between us are obviously not fine. i’m also pretty sure aria had no idea about me so please do not attack her. this is the last time i’m going to speak about this situation, as i want to move on with my life.

it’s not what he’s made for | quinn hughes

— “I’M THE SWEETEST GIRL IN TOWN, SO WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN?”

summary; in which you have to accept the fact that quinn hughes will never change and that’s just who he is.

pairing; quinn hughes x fem!reader (platonic jack x reader and luke x reader)

genre; angst, no happy ending, reader has daddy issues, quinn is a pretty shitty person in this (sorry quinnier, love u!)

Quinn Hughes didn’t like you. And you had no idea why.

You had always been Jack’s best friend, ever since the eighth grade when he accidentally tripped you and promised you ice cream if you stopped crying.

Their lake house was nothing new to you; in fact, you’d probably gone a thousand times, an experience other girls could only dream about. You were able to become close to Ellen and Jim, who had found you cute and adorable, glad you were their middle son’s best friend.

Luke, who was younger than you, always looked up to you as his big sister, and every Hughes seem to love you except Quinn.

“You know he’s just grumpy, right?” Jack whispers as he takes a seat next to you on the kitchen stool.

He knew about your feelings towards Quinn, being grossed out at first when you told him that you had liked his older brother. But, you were his best friend, and seeing you so sad over his own brother also broke his heart.

It wasn’t until the day your first serious boyfriend broke up with you that Quinn showed you sympathy. He was an asshole but not that much of an asshole—or so you thought.

You had cried your entire heart out on the lake-house’s dock, body shaking as you tried to steady your breaths. It was just so when Quinn needed a little breather from his brothers, stumbling outside with a cup of iced water in his hand.

He saw your body shake with your head in your hands and connected the dots right away.

“Hey, you okay?” Stupid question, Quinn thinks as soon as he says it out loud.

“No,” you mumble quietly, wiping away your tears. Even with bloodshot eyes and a clogged nose, Quinn thought you looked pretty.

“Was it Adam?”

He knew about your first boyfriend. Jack had complained about this “Adam” as soon as you two started dating. According to Jack, Adam was a self conceited jackass who didn’t deserve you or your time. Quinn only shrugged at the time, not really caring about you or whatever relationship you were in.

“Yeah,” you whisper quietly. The name of your ex makes you cringe. “I was an idiot for dating him.”

“No,” Quinn sets down his cup of iced water, “he was an idiot for treating you that way. Jack told me in the past, you don’t deserve any of that, and he sure as hell doesn’t deserve you.”

For a moment, it was as if you and Quinn had a connection, one that sparked hope in your heart. He was finally showing you kindness and sympathy, something that you had only wished for in the past.

“Thank you Quinn,” you sniffle, looking up to meet his eyes. He smiled softly, an image that will forever root itself in your memory. The only thing you could think of at that moment was how much of a nice smile Quinn Hughes had.

Over the next few days, Quinn and you had become closer, a bond that wasn’t going unseen by Jack or Luke. They had both noticed you weren’t that sad over Adam anymore—and that the older Hughes actually smiled from time to time.

Just as you’re up on your feet again, your father had called you, scolding you about God knows what and calling you all sorts of names.

You thought as soon as you graduated high school, your father would’ve dropped whatever act he was doing, but clearly he was still very adamant on ruining your life. You couldn’t remember how many times you cried because of him.

“Is it him again?” Luke asks, taking a seat next to you on the couch. He saw your sadness the entire day, not sure if he should comfort you or not.

After all, you were the older one, and it was always you comforting him, not the other way around. Luke was still pretty much an awkward child, but he wanted to help you in any way he could.

He knew how your father was. They all knew. Since you were Jack’s best friend, you often came over the house in tears because of what your dad had said.

“Yeah,” you say, trying your best to smile for Luke. “It’s nothing, really.”

“You don’t always have to be strong in front of me,” Luke whispers. “You are not what your father says you are, okay Y/N? You are so much more than that.”

Nodding slowly, you lean into Luke’s chest. He automatically wraps his arm around you, rubbing your arm to let you know he was there.

Quinn watches from the kitchen with a sour taste. In his eyes, you weren’t getting comforted by Luke after crying your eyes out. No—in his eyes, you were getting with his little brother of all people, and God, Quinn hated you for doing so. He hated you for being so annoyingly perfect—he hated that you were always closer to his little brothers. He hated the fact that you were in Luke’s arms instead of his. He hated it.

The next weekend, Umich was hosting its annual senior dance. Your friends had all practically begged you to leave your dorm, saying how you needed to let yourself free for a night. You didn’t really care for the dance, wanting to focus on your business homework instead but of course, your friends weren’t taking no for an answer.

They told you that they had set you up with a date. You shyly decline, saying you already had someone in mind.

That someone being your best friend’s older brother.

Although he was distant these past few days, you shrug it off as Quinn being Quinn. He was always well kept to himself, so it wasn’t anything new.

“Hey Quinn,” you say as you walk into the kitchen. The older Hughes was busying himself with making toast and jam, and had only acknowledge you with a nod of his head.

“I was wondering.. if you’d like to come with me to Umich’s senior dance? It’s just an event hosted by them every year—super fun, lots of drinks, I’d love it if you could—”

“Like a date?” Quinn raises his eyebrows, quickly cutting to the point.

“Well, I guess you can say it’s a date—”

“I’m good Y/N.”

The coldness of his voice makes your heart sink. Oh God, this was such a bad idea. Why would you ask him? Why why why why?

“Oh okay, forget I even asked then,” you laugh nervously, trying hard not to gulp at Quinn.

Quinn only chuckles, his eyebrows furrowing as his gaze turns into something you can’t quite distinguish.

“You.. you didn’t really think I would like you, did you?”

His words make your chest tighten.

“I mean cmon Y/N seriously? What made you think I would ever love you?” Quinn’s voice gets louder. “Cause I wouldn’t—even if I could.”

You wish the ground would just swallow you whole at that moment. It was already bad that Quinn had rejected you, but now he was claiming he would never love you?

“What the fuck Quinn?” The voice of Luke pulls you out of your trance, his face filled with anger. “Why the fuck would you say that Quinn?”

“Of course you would jump to her defense!” Quinn scowls. “Whatever, I don’t care for this, alright? Leave me the hell alone.”

You feel your heart break for the third time this month, eyes filling with tears yet again.

“What is wrong with him?” Luke mumbles to himself, in shock that his brother would say that to you.

He slowly turns his gaze to you, eyes softening at your broken figure. It hurt him to see a girl he considered his older sister so heartbroken over his own brother.

“I’m sorry Y/N,” Luke says into your hair as he hugs you tightly.

“It’s not your fault Luke,” you cry, “I should’ve known. He would never like me. He was just being nice.”

“Hey, stop,” Luke pulls away, looking directly into your eyes. “He’s an idiot if he can’t see how much of an amazing person you are, okay? A big fucking idiot. Don’t beat yourself up over Quinn, he’s not worth any of your tears.”

Luke sighs as he watches your chest rise and fall with each sob. “This whole relationship thing? It’s not what he’s made for.”

“You cannot beat yourself up over a guy who cannot commit Y/N,” Luke whispers. “You’ll find so much better Quinn, I can promise you that.”

But all you wanted was Quinn. Luke was right, even if he was all you wanted, he could never be yours—for Quinn Hughes was not made for relationships, and he was certainly not made for you.

Babe lyrics

What about your promises, promises?

What about your promises, promises, promises? (No)

What a shame

Didn't wanna be the one that got away, yeah

Big mistake, you broke the sweetest promise

That you never should have made

I'm here on the kitchen floor

You call, but I won't hear it

You said, "No one else"

How could you do this, babe? (What about your promises, promises?)

You really blew this, babe

We ain't getting through this one, babe

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe (This is the last time, this is the last time)

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

(What about your promises, promises, promises?)

What a waste

Takin' down the pictures and the plans we made, yeah

And it's strange how your face doesn't look so innocent

Your secret has its consequence and that's on you, babe

I break down every time you call

We're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball

We said, "No one else"

How could you do this, babe? (What about your promises, promises?)

You really blew this, babe

We ain't getting through this one, babe

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe (This is the last time, this is the last time)

This is the last time I'll ever call you

Since you admitted it, I keep picturing

Her lips on your neck, I can't unsee it

I hate that because of you, I can't love you, babe

What a shame didn't want to be the one that got away

How could you do this, babe?

You really blew this, babe

We ain't getting through this one, babe

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe (This is the last time, this is the last time)

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

I'm here on the kitchen floor, you call but I won't hear it

You said, "No one else"

We ain't getting through this one, babe

I break down every time you call

We're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball

You said, "No one else"

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

What about your promises, promises?

The Very First Night lyrics

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

And so it goes

Every weekend, this same party

I never go alone and I don't seem brokenhearted

My friends all say they know everything I'm going through

I drive down different roads

But they all lead back to you

'Cause they don't know about the night in the hotel

They weren't riding in the car when we both fell

Didn't read the note on the Polaroid picture

They don't know how much I miss you

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

And so it was

We never saw it coming

Not trying to fall in love

But we did like children running

Back then we didn't know we were built to fall apart

We broke the status quo, then we broke each other's hearts

But don't forget about the night out in LA

Danced in the kitchen, chased me down through the hallway

No one knows about the words that we whispered

No one knows how much I miss you

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

I remember the night at the hotel

I was riding in the car when we both fell

I'm the one on the phone as you whisper

"Do you know how much I miss you?"

I wish that we could go back in time

And I'd say to you

"I miss you like it was the very first night"

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

The Last Time I'll Call You (Playlist Series)

Remus Lupin x Reader

Summary: Love was supposed to be their refuge, their safe place amid the war and the darkness pressing in. But when a single betrayal shatters everything, Y/N and Remus are left standing in the wreckage of what once was—trying to hold on, even as their hearts break beyond repair.

Based on the song: Babe by Taylor Swift

───────────────────────────────

"What about your promises, promises?"

The sound of glass shattering echoed through the tiny flat. The frame hit the floor, splintering across the hardwood in sharp, jagged pieces—just like her heart. Just like the promises he had sworn to her. Y/N stood frozen, staring at the wreckage at her feet, as Remus stood across from her, his chest heaving. His lips were parted, his face drained of all color, but she could still see the imprint of it.

The ghost of another woman’s lips on his skin.

"Y/N—" His voice was raw, desperate.

She held up a hand. "Don’t."

She didn’t want to hear it. Didn’t want to hear him weave a web of excuses when she could still taste the bitter truth on her tongue. He had promised her. He had looked her in the eyes, held her in his arms, and promised that there would be no one else.

And yet—

"You broke the sweetest promise," she whispered, voice cracking. "That you never should have made."

"What a shame… didn't want to be the one that got away, yeah."

The walls felt like they were closing in. The memories clung to every inch of this flat—the laughter, the whispered confessions beneath warm sheets, the quiet moments of safety he had built with her. And now, it was all unraveling.

Y/N felt like she couldn't breathe.

She stumbled into the kitchen, her hands gripping the edge of the counter as she forced herself to stand upright. The weight of it all pressed down on her, crushing her ribs, making it impossible to do anything but gasp for air.

The apartment door creaked behind her.

"Please, Y/N."

Remus’s voice was barely above a whisper, like he knew that one wrong word would break her completely. And maybe it would.

She turned around slowly, her vision blurring at the edges. He looked wrecked. His tie was loosened, his hair an absolute mess, his amber eyes hollow. But none of it mattered.

"Why?" she asked, her voice trembling. "Why did you do it?"

He opened his mouth, then shut it. His fingers curled into fists at his sides. "I don’t have an answer that will make it right."

"Then don’t say anything at all," she snapped.

"Taking down the pictures and the plans we made, yeah."

She hadn’t meant to go back to the bedroom. But her body moved on autopilot, her feet dragging her forward until she was staring at the remnants of what was left. The photographs, the stacks of letters, the little trinkets that had made this space theirs.

The bed they had shared.

The life they had built.

Y/N clenched her jaw as she reached for the first frame, ripping it off the wall. The second came down just as easily, followed by the third. One by one, she tore them down, her breath sharp and erratic as she shoved them into a box. It was methodical. It was necessary.

It was destroying her.

"Y/N, please stop," Remus begged, appearing in the doorway.

She didn't stop. She couldn't.

"Just let me explain—"

She whirled around, rage clawing up her throat. "Explain what? That you made a mistake? That it meant nothing? That you didn't think? Merlin, Remus, do you know how pathetic that sounds?"

He flinched.

Good.

"You knew," she said, voice quieter now, but so much worse. "You knew what you were doing. You knew how much it would hurt me. And you did it anyway."

Tears burned behind her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.

Remus swallowed, his throat bobbing. "I love you."

Her laugh was sharp, bitter. "Funny way of showing it."

"I break down every time you call, we're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball."

The first time he called, she ignored it.

The second time, she stared at his name flashing on the screen until it stopped ringing.

The third time, she turned off her phone.

It didn't matter how many times he called. It didn't matter how many voicemails he left, how many times his voice cracked as he begged her to listen.

She couldn't.

Every time she heard his voice, she shattered all over again.

And she couldn't keep picking up the pieces.

"Since you admitted it, I keep picturing her lips on your neck, I can't unsee it."

The worst part was that she knew who it was.

Y/N hadn’t wanted to ask. She hadn’t wanted to know. But the moment she looked at him and saw the guilt written all over his face, she knew.

It had been Marlene.

Marlene McKinnon.

The girl with the easy smile, the sharp wit, the effortless charm. The one who had always been in the periphery, lingering just a little too close, laughing just a little too hard.

And now—now Y/N couldn’t get it out of her head. The image of her lips on him. Her fingers threading through his hair.

She gritted her teeth, her nails digging into her palm until it hurt. She wanted to erase it. To pretend it had never happened. But she couldn’t.

Because the truth was, it had happened.

And it had destroyed everything.

"I hate that because of you, I can't love you, babe."

There had been a time when she thought love was enough.

She had believed it so fiercely, held onto it like a lifeline, convinced that no matter how dark things got, love would be the light that led them back.

But now, as she stood there, staring at him for what she knew would be the last time, she realized how wrong she had been.

Love wasn’t enough.

Not when trust had been broken. Not when the pain outweighed the love. Not when she couldn't look at him without feeling like she was drowning.

Remus looked at her like he already knew what was coming.

"Please," he whispered, voice wrecked. "Please don’t go."

She inhaled sharply, every muscle in her body screaming at her to stay, to take him into her arms, to pretend like they could fix this.

But they couldn't.

"This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe," she said softly.

Then she turned and walked away.

And this time—she didn’t look back.

Not “Babe” playing in this cafe as I leave lmao

BROKE THE SWEETEST PROMISE YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE MADE

[dishushu]

what about your promises, babe?

hobie brown x reader

warnings: cheating, alcohol, angst.

genre: angst (im sorry yall😞) (pics by @ caicrisis.)

inspo: babe (taylor's version.) (from the vault)

summary: he broke your promise.

a/n: no use of y/n, they/them pronouns for reader

what about your promises, promises?

you and hobie met at a bar, precisely the one he performed at— his eye caught on you for standing out with your unique physique, and ever since that day he's fallen in love with you every day.

he'd love you with his whole heart and promised to never cheat on you— no matter whether drunk or sober, he would never have the guts to do it, what a shame,

didn't want to be the one that got away.

it had been almost an hour since you'd gotten dressed for your dinner with hobie, and you tried contacting him but had no luck—assuming he was still performing, so you decided to meet him there.

you walked into the bar's doors— the smell of alcohol hitting your nose firmly, looking around to find hobie, big mistake.

you’d go to the spot where you’d both always stay at— only to find him sitting on a bar stool with a girl on his lap kissing him, her lips on his neck.

you broke the sweetest promise that you never should have never made.

you stood there in shock— the scene replaying over and over in your mind as hobie noticed you and pushed the girl off, running to you.

you walked out the bar, tears filling up your eyes as hobie grabbed your wrist— stopping you in your tracks.

“love, i’m sorry i-“ he pleaded, his voice cracking as the smell of his breath reeked of alcohol. “please leave me alone.” you cut him off, breathless trying to get out from his grasp on your arm.

“i was drunk and— and i, didn’t realize it until you came.” he was on his knees at this point, begging for you to forgive him.

“you we’re drunk and you couldn’t think twice about your actions? the promises we made? you said no one else, how could you do this babe..?” those last words hit hobie like a truck, the way your voice croaked as you broke down in tears— he wished he could rewind time all over again.

you walked away leaving hobie at the entrance of the bar, your heart broken and this is the last time you’ll ever call him babe.

what a shame, taking down the pictures and the plans we made.

all memories, all photos and plans were all gone— but not in your mind, as you sat on the floor with an album in-front of you with pictures of your happiest moments with him— all burned down with your tears falling down on your cheeks, his secrets has its consequence.

every day, every night for 2 weeks you would be on the kitchen floor, he calls and you won’t hear it, blocking the number every time you had a chance and he’d always find a way to call you until he stopped.

that very moment— your life started to get better, but deep inside of your mind— you missed him till the death of you.

you found loving friends who helped you cheer up and made you see the better in you, every step closer to making you move on, until you lost that motivation.

you were out with those said friends, having the time of your life until you bumped into someone accidentally, apologizing sincerely before you stopped in your words— realizing who you bumped into, the waves of emotions and memories washing over you, leaving you speechless.

hobie said your name breathlessly as he walked up to you, making you walk backwards in fear—

“hey man, leave em alone they’re not comfortable with you.” one of your friends approached him, pushing him back lightly making him jolt in her touch.

“can i please, talk to them?” hobie pleaded, begged for one conversation to make it up to you; your friends looked at you in concern if you were okay and you gave them a reassuring nod telling them you’ll be fine— as they walked far to respect your privacy.

you turned to face hobie, his glossy eyes breaking your heart but at the same time— your sympathy for him couldn’t care less, you were hurt and sad he crossed your way.

“speak up.” you said bluntly as you crossed your arms, your finger tapping obnoxiously on your arm.

“can us work out again..? i’m sorry, i really am. i was drunk i was out of my mind and—“ he took a deep breath before he spoke again but you cut him off.

“you already said this bullshit way too many times, since you admitted it— i keep picturing her lips on your neck, i can’t unsee it.” your voice quivering made his heart shatter.

“i hate that because of you, i cant love you babe.” you whispered leaving hobie there to stand while the whole scene replayed in your mind over and over again.

“what a shame, didn’t want to be the one that got away..”

Babe

Second Submission for Era 3 of @cruelsummer-ficfest

Ship: Romione

Song: Babe (Red)

Read on Ao3

How to make a break-up song about cheating into a fic that's not even remotely about that? Challenge accepted.

Big mistake, you broke the sweetest promise that you never should have made.

He couldn’t protect her. Couldn’t protect her. 

He promised. And yet there she was, lifeless in his arms as he ran across the sand toward the cottage, desperate to help her. Desperate to save her. 

She can’t be dead. Please don’t let her be dead. Please.

Ron watches in the doorway of the small guest bedroom as Fleur performs diagnostic spells over Hermione’s body. Tremors cause her limp form to shake uncontrollably every now and then. It’s the only sign that she’s alive. 

Fleur gives nothing away as she continues to work. Bill’s eyes only knit with growing concern. At one point, Ron is vaguely aware of Fleur leaning over and whispering something to Bill. But he doesn’t take his eyes off Hermione. Not for one second. Because he’s afraid that if he does, the small yet rhythmic rise and fall of her chest will cease, and then he’ll never be able to forgive himself.

Then, Bill is by his side, gesturing to the hall behind him. 

No. He can’t leave her. He won’t leave her. He begs his older brother to let him stay. Yet, somehow, he’s being ushered down the stairs to wait. 

I’m here on the kitchen floor, you call but I won’t hear it.

“Ron. Ron!” Bill calls to him as he cradles his head in his hands, rocking back and forth, unable to get the sound of her screams out of his mind.

This is why he needs to be with her. Only the sight of her will calm the chaos in his head; only her touch can prevent him from reliving the scene over and over and over again.

“Ron,” Bill says again, now crouching down in front of him. 

The third time his name sounds, he snaps to attention. “What’s wrong? Is Hermione okay? Bill, tell me she’s okay. I can’t lose her. I can’t—”

Bill’s hands on his shoulders stop him. “I’m not going to lie to you and tell you she’s fine, but she’s alive. Fleur thinks you got her here just in time. She’s done everything she can to combat the pain and the internal injuries, but we won’t know if her mind is still intact until she wakes up.”

“Fuck.” Ron presses the heel of his palms against his eyes, forcing the unshed tears to stay put.

He knows what the Cruciatus is capable of. He remembers seeing Neville’s parents. Pure, unadulterated terror sweeps through him, paralyzing his limbs and his thoughts as the thought of life without her takes hold.

No, he can’t think like that.

“You can go see her now if you want. She’s resting.”

Ron nods, his body feels like jelly as he tries to stand.

“Maybe you should—”

“No.” He needs to be with her.

You really blew this. We ain’t gettin’ through this one.

Twenty four hours pass and Hermione still hasn’t woken. Ron remains at her bedside, leaving only when absolutely necessary. He holds her hand, rests his head against her arm and runs through countless scenarios of how things could have been different.

If only he’d tried harder to stop Harry from saying the name. What if Bellatrix had taken him instead? How could they have concealed the sword better? The questions never end.

He pays little attention to the people who come in and out, checking on Hermione, asking him how he’s doing, bringing him something to eat. 

Until Luna brings in another meal he’ll barely touch.

When she’s on her way out the door, she turns back and offers a suggestion. “Have you tried talking to her?” Ron looks up at her, eyes blank as he shakes his head.

“It might help.” With a smile and a shrug, Luna bounces out of the room on her tiptoes.

It takes Ron a while to try Luna’s idea. He doesn’t know where to begin as the words continuously play on repeat in his mind. Finally, he’s able to stop them for a moment, if only to verbalize an apology.

“I’m so sorry,” he croaks out. “I couldn’t stop her from hurting you. I couldn’t get out of that damn cellar. I tried, Hermione. Believe me, I tried.”

He looks down at his hands, still raw, but scabbing over from clawing and punching at the wall. Reminders of how desperate he was to try and break free.

[His] lips on your neck, I can’t unsee it.

“Th-thank Merlin for Dobby. I don’t know how the elf knew, but he saved us. He saved all of us. But I’m so scared I got to you too late. Fleur says you’ll be okay, but she didn’t see you lying there. She didn’t see Greyback’s eyes when he looked at you. Fuck, no, I can’t unsee it. I can’t stop thinking about what he was going to do to you. Please, Hermione, please be okay. I can’t do this without you.”

He leans over and kisses her hand before squeezing it with his own. 

“Please,” he whispers. “There’s so much more I want to say to you, but I want you to be awake. I need you to be awake.” 

Ron looks at her face, and still nothing, though he’s not surprised. He’s ready to give up and call Luna’s plan mental, but then he decides to try one more time. Part of him knows it’s no use, so he takes a chance to say something he’s nowhere near ready to say to her face. Not until he knows she feels the same way.

“I—I always used to think it was gross when Mum and Dad would call each other by these ridiculous pet names. It was even so weird when I’d hear Fleur call Bill ‘darling.’ Not—not because I was jealous or anything. I wasn’t! But now, now I get it. And I just—I want that for us. Like babe or something, you know? Not that it—it doesn’t have to be that, but…nevermind. It’s not like you can hear me anyway. What a stupid idea.”

As he rambles, he stares at her hand, embarrassed for even saying it all out loud. He should have silenced the room first. He’ll never hear the end of it if someone overheard as they walked by.

Slumping back in the chair, Ron covers his face with his hands. He refuses to believe he’s losing her, but at the same time he can’t help but feel as though she’s slipping through his fingers. But then he hears the softest moan come from her bed. His head snaps up as his hands grasp the arms of the wooden chair, catching his weight before he falls over from the whiplash.

Her eyes flutter open as she grimaces in pain. It’s a fucking miracle.

“R-Ron?” Her voice is hoarse and  breathy, but he’s sure he hears it.

“I’m here. I’m right here.” His hands find hers. “We made it. We’re safe.”

“Where are we?” Each word is labored but she pushes through it anyway.

“Shell Cottage. Bill and Fleur’s place.”

“How…?”

Ron recounts the entire tale and Hermione listens with rapt attention. When he gets to the end, he pauses. His mind is once again fresh with the shrieks and cackles of Bellatrix as Hermione screams in pain.

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”

What about your promises, promises, promises, no.

“It’s not your fault.”

“Yes, it is! I—I made a promise.”

Hermione’s face scrunches in confusion. “To who?”

“To you. Well, to me. I swore I’d do whatever it took to protect you and—and I couldn’t. I couldn’t protect you from her and now you’re here.”

“Yes. I’m here. Ron, I should be dead. Worse, maybe because of Greyback.” She shakes her head. “But you saved me. You could have left me in the wreckage of that chandelier but you refused to leave without me.”

“Yeah, but—”

“Stop. Please,” she begs. “I know you’re trying to make up for—for leaving. Don’t. We’re past that. You’re here now. That’s what matters. You’re what matters.”

His eyes meet hers and both plead the other to understand. Ron feels as though he’s about to burst. They’ve had so many second chances over the years and with the war at its height, he can’t risk silence any longer. 

“Hermione, I—”

Though it looks as though it takes all her energy, she lifts her hand to touch his face. Tears are in her eyes when she cuts him off. “I know. Me too.”

Ron turns his head, nuzzling into her hand and kisses her palm before he loses his nerve. If she won’t let him tell her how he feels, he can at least try to show her. Though he doesn’t want to leave her, he promised Bill and Fleur he’d tell them as soon as she woke up.

“I should get Fleur so she can see how you’re doing.” He stands reluctantly and heads for the door.

But Hermione stops him before he leaves. “Ron?”

“Yeah?”

“I, um, I don’t mind ‘babe.’” Her cheeks are bright red as she tries to hide a tiny smile by tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

“Oh. Uh, noted.”

He scrambles out the door as his own face burns and his ears have no doubt turned pink. He hadn’t realized—he thought she’d been asleep. She hadn’t shown any signs of stirring. But maybe it was better now that that was in the open. Maybe she truly does understand how he feels now.

And he hopes upon hope that the end is near, that they can finally be free and happy, and that this is one of the last times the war will risk their lives.

So they can be happy. So they can finally have the chance to call each other ‘babe.’

This is the last time, this is the last time.

a/n: I'm still not over using 'babe' as a pet name for these two.

Thread(pjm x reader) Prologue

Pairing: Ares!Park Jimin x Goddess!Black!Female Reader, Reincarnation AU, Greek Mythology AU

Synopsis: You were his oasis where the water never ran dry. He was the garden where blooms shone like diamonds. His lips were of the sweetest ambrosia that made you forget your sour past, your embrace a blanket that shielded him from the nightmare that was his life. Your souls were safe in the hands of one another. Nothing could ever separate you, the daisy chain you’ve woven entwining your fate and destinies until the end of time.

Even when the blade cuts the vine and the petals fall into the fire, he will always find you.

A/N: Hi!! I’m back with the prologue for my first ever mini series! This is the GreekGod!Jimin story I was talking about a little while ago. I actually changed the story a lot after new inspiration struck me. A new detail that I hope a lot of people will like is that reader has Vitiligo. I was inspired by this woman I saw the other day. She was so beautiful and poised and she told me that she absolutely loves BTS after seeing my RJ bag charm. So this is dedicated to her! I also hope my reader’s with vitiligo like this! I tried to describe reader’s skin as beautifully and respectfully as possible. I even asked an old coworker of mine how he would describe his wife who also has vitiligo. I’m always open to criticism though and if anyone is offended, please let me know. I’ll be posting the first chapter along with my Taehyung x NudeModel!Reader story as well by the end of the day. Hope you guys enjoy!

~

“Please! I’m begging you! Don’t do this!”

“Ares, for treason and insubordination, I sentence you to death.”

Tears streamed down your cheeks, gorgeous face twisted in anguish. He hated to see you cry. Your tears should never fall, not for him and not for others.

This was all his fault. Your grief and distress were due to him. He broke the promise he made to you all those centuries ago. He promised he’d never make you sad, to always fill your days with his love and joy, to walk beside you until the day the world ends.

He was such a fool.

And as he knelt on the floor, body sore from battle and ears ringing from the thundering boom of the God above him, all he could focus on was you. Even in tears, you were the most beautiful goddess he’s ever laid his eyes upon.

Before he met you, his life was lackluster, monotone…..lonely. Days spent bathed in the blood of the fallen, his blade his only companion, the screams of the wounded the sound that lulled him to restless slumber. He didn’t care for anything else except fulfilling his duty and satisfying his bloodlust.

Then he stumbled across a cool stream, the sound of the rushing water doing nothing drown out the noises in his head. The most it could do was quench his thirst and clean his bloodied cape. After he had his fill and had less than successfully cleaned a little blood out of his cape, he draped it over a rock before plopping down on the grass with a huff. He was so tired. He just wanted to close his eyes for a bit.

The sound of singing startled him, his body immediately going into attack mode. He unsheathed his sword with practiced grace, ready to slice down any threat.

But there was none.

There was only you sitting at the edge of the stream, a small sewing kit in your lap, your hands working on what he recognized as his cape.

He didn’t know how to process what was happening, his brain still moving a little slowly from his short nap. Where did you come from? When did you get here? His instincts were always on guard. He should have heard you coming.

Why…..?

Your singing suddenly stopped. You lifted the cape up, surveying the now patched tear to make sure it looked nice. After humming to yourself in content, you turned to face him and the sight of your face almost made him fall to his knees.

You were positively ethereal.

Your robes were a light pink color, the delicate fabric wrapped around your body flowed around you as if the wind followed you, desperate to grace your skin. Your clothing allowed him to appreciate the beauty of your lustrous skin—an expanse of dark brown with lighter spots that looked like paint splotches on your divine canvas. But each one was placed so carefully, as if whatever God that sculpted you had intentionally taken their passion out on your already lavish complexion. Eyes kind and gentle, and your hair full and huge with flowers and butterflies decorating it.

“Oh, you’re awake? You’ve been sleeping for a couple hours. I can only imagine how tired you must have been.”

Hours? That was impossible! He didn’t sleep that long. And certainly not when he wasn’t in the safety of his home. Even then, he was lucky to get 4 hours before waking from the nightmares.

How had you managed to sneak up on him?

Realizing he had yet to respond to you, he said, “who are you? Where did you come from?”

You didn’t falter at his hostility or harsh tone. You had just shown up and started touching his belongings. You’d be defensive too.

“My apologies. I didn’t mean to startle you. I came to be alone but then I saw your torn cape and thought I’d mend it for you.” You stood to your feet, dusting off your robes before folding his cape. “Here you are. It was torn in a weird place so the stitch is noticeable but you can still wear it.”

He hesitated for a moment but he didn’t feel like you were a threat so he lowered his weapon. You noticed how he didn’t sheath it again but said nothing.

He shuffled closer to you, keeping his eyes on your hands. Once he was close enough, he grabbed the cape from you before backing away again.

“Well, I’ll leave you be. Try not to tear it again, okay? It’s such a beautiful cape.” Your smile was soft but so inviting. It made his heart stutter, a block forming in his throat at your gaze. Why did you look at him that way?

And then you left him there, a weird feeling settling over him at your absence. He shook it off.

He sheathed his weapon, holding his cape with both hands. It was still covered in blood and a little damp.

He found the spot where the tear had once been, only to find it closed and bound tight by a bright pink string. It stood out as stark as day against the grey fabric. He ran his fingers over the stitch, a gasp coming from his throat when a sudden surge of emotion struck him.

And he still felt that as he watched you fall to your knees, screaming his name and pleading for his retribution.

Yearning.

He yearned for your touch right now, for you to hold him tightly in your arms like you never wanted to let him go. He yearned for your smile, your laughter, your affection, your kiss.

He yearned for you. He loved you. He adored you.

“Ares! No! Please!”

The blade lifted, a glint shining on its sharp edge but he wasn’t afraid. He didn’t even focus on the person holding the weapon. All he could see was you.

His eyes squinted in the adorable way they did when he smiled, his teeth showing themselves, including the slightly crooked one you loved so much. You loved him so much.

“I love you, my oasis.”

[selinascatnip]

Honestly I can't be 100% happy about DickKory in Titans. I can't.

This show should have been our Revenge, after 30 years of bullshit, relationship assassination and slander.

I can't help but think they would string us along for longer and longer if the show wasn't being cancelled.

I was so happy when season one came out, and I was nice, patient, understanding when season 2 was that mess.

But from season 3 forward... I... I'm disappointed.

And it's fucking shitty that we all know well which are the worst memories Dick has, WE HAVE FOOTAGE EVEN, and Kory started babbling about some grandfather she never got to mention before...

And have them been watching their own fucking show? Dick didn't let Kory go after the Motel, they slept together AFTER

and then, much later

She BROKE UP WITH HIM

TWICE

If he regrets letting her go should be after they defeated Trigon! Or after the Asylum, not after the Motel wtf

Anyway, I'm so tired of the disrespect, I'm so tired of everything about Kory being an afterthought or something only done when there's a gun pointed to the writers' head, I'm tired of having to beg on social media. I love Kory so much, she deserves so much better.

BUT NOW TO THE THINGS I DID LOVE, not like, LOVE

I love that we didn't get an AU suburban bland as WASP unseasoned chicken DickKory.

I love that the episode used the Trope: We Are The Sum Of Our Experiences because that's my truth too (and the reason I'm so reluctant with AUs in general and really deeply hate AUs such as coffee shop AUs in which there is no fucking way the characters won't be OOC as hell).

I loved Kory asking like a billion times if her and Dick really, truly, like for realzies didn't fuck when they woke up because, baby girl, I felt like you were wanting a different answer other than "no" 🤣

I love Kory calling on Dick out on his trauma bs. I love that she was right and that good memories are more powerful than the bad ones, as someone who has CPTSD that made me cry. Because OG Kory has always been the ideal to me of someone who makes the sweetest lemon parfaits of her bitter rotten lemons. That song "Sunny" they played on season one when she was breaking that misogynist face on season one is like a hymn of what she is to me.

I love Dick in a "I couldn't save the world but lose you" mindset in which losing Kory ain't an option, so much that he won't even discuss it.

Want him to graduate to " You are my best friend and I love you. When it came the time of choosing between you and the universe, I said, hang the web of time, let the universe rot, you are more important" as stupid as such position is because love in fiction is supposed to be like that. I want to se Dick willing to go to the lowest of the low for Kory, I want him poking holes in the walls between realities to get to her.

I want that over a billion romcom scenarios. Gimme the drama, the over the top bullshit, I believe that Titans!Dick Grayson would do the stupidest things for Kory, I mean, the man defeated Death for the promise of a happy ending with her.

Brenton, thank you, you not so much the writers, you gave me the Dick Grayson that doesn't want Kory to change a single eyelash, that adores her without "buts", that wants her exactly as she is. What a breath of fucking fresh air after... Well, after 30 years of bullshit.

Babe lyrics

What about your promises, promises?

What about your promises, promises, promises? (No)

What a shame

Didn't wanna be the one that got away, yeah

Big mistake, you broke the sweetest promise

That you never should have made

I'm here on the kitchen floor

You call, but I won't hear it

You said, "No one else"

How could you do this, babe? (What about your promises, promises?)

You really blew this, babe

We ain't getting through this one, babe

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe (This is the last time, this is the last time)

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

(What about your promises, promises, promises?)

What a waste

Takin' down the pictures and the plans we made, yeah

And it's strange how your face doesn't look so innocent

Your secret has its consequence and that's on you, babe

I break down every time you call

We're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball

We said, "No one else"

How could you do this, babe? (What about your promises, promises?)

You really blew this, babe

We ain't getting through this one, babe

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe (This is the last time, this is the last time)

This is the last time I'll ever call you

Since you admitted it, I keep picturing

Her lips on your neck, I can't unsee it

I hate that because of you, I can't love you, babe

What a shame didn't want to be the one that got away

How could you do this, babe?

You really blew this, babe

We ain't getting through this one, babe

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe (This is the last time, this is the last time)

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

I'm here on the kitchen floor, you call but I won't hear it

You said, "No one else"

We ain't getting through this one, babe

I break down every time you call

We're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball

You said, "No one else"

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

What about your promises, promises?

The Last Time lyrics

I find myself at your door

Just like all those times before

I'm not sure how I got there

All roads they lead me here

I imagine you are home

In your room, all alone

And you open your eyes into mine

And everything feels better

And right before your eyes

I'm breaking, no past

No reasons why

Just you and me

This is the last time I'm asking you this

Put my name at the top of your list

This is the last time I'm asking you why

You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye

You find yourself at my door

And just like all those times before

You wear your best apology

But I was there to watch you leave

And all the times I let you in

Just for you to go again

Disappear when you come back

Everything is better

And right before your eyes

I'm aching

No past, nowhere to hide

Just you and me

This is the last time I'm asking you this

Put my name at the top of your list

This is the last time I'm asking you why

You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye

This is the last time you tell me I've got it wrong

This is the last time I say it's been you all along

This is the last time I let you in my door

This is the last time, I won't hurt you anymore

Oh-ho, oh-ho, oh-ho, oh-ho

Oh-ho, oh-ho, oh-ho, oh-ho

This is the last time I'm asking you this

Put my name at the top of your list

This is the last time I'm asking you why

You break my heart in the blink of an eye

This is the last time I'm asking you this

(This is the last time I'm asking you this)

Put my name at the top of your list

(Put my name at the top of your list)

This is the last time I'm asking you why

(This is the last time I'm asking you why)

You break my heart in the blink of an eye

(You break my heart)

This is the last time I'm asking you, last time I'm asking you

Last time I'm asking you this

This is the last time I'm asking you, last time I'm asking you

Last time I'm asking you this

This is the last time I'm asking you, last time I'm asking you

Last time I'm asking you this

This is the last time I'm asking you, last time I'm asking you

Last time I'm asking you this

Harry may have sincerely loved Taylor and is the most respectful ex etc but he was also a dumb teenager who “broke the sweetest promise that he should have never made”. Taking into account the bad with the good is not being anti-Harry or whatever it’s simply recognizing the many mistakes he may have made before he was able to “get the girl back” as described in “How You Get The Girl”.

Taylor and Harry are human beings with flaws. I am not of the opinion that every single song Taylor wrote is about him but when there’s a theme in folklore describing what probably went through during their 2012 summer it’s not being anti to recognize that Harry may have f*cked up. He was a teenage boy. If Taylor can sing about it and forgive him I don’t understand why it’s so hard to recognize it happened.

I agree whole-heartedly, anon, that both things can be true; we are all imperfect people and even our best intentions have impacts we don’t foresee. I also agree that both Harry and Taylor have recognized and addressed this situation, apologizing and forgiving and working to restore ruptured relationships and to grow. Taylor may have been using hyperbole in describing Harry’s actions in IKYWT but there was real hurt underneath, hurt he recognized and for which he has long worked to atone.

I also believe that this was only one in a long line of times they hurt each other, as is totally normal in relationships. Both explore it in their songs; Taylor does so beautifully in happiness.

Whether or not you believe that this fictional divorce situation allowed Taylor to dissect why their on-and-off, love-filled relationship kept failing—and I do—the song’s bridge provides near universal insights, as Blondie often does.

“I can’t make this go away by making you a villain,” she tells us. “I guess that’s the price I paid for seven years in Heaven”.

She then drops another heartbreaking realization:

“No one teaches you what to do/ When a good man hurts you/ And you know you hurt him too…”

And isn’t that one of the hardest lesson we all have to learn, the real secret to learning how to Stay? How do keep showing up and doing the work when we hurt and are hurt by the ones we love, both deliberately and most often inadvertently?

I think they are both much better able to so that now, since they’re no longer adolescents/very young adults. And I sense that they are better able to articulate their own needs and expectations, and to compromise and collaborate to make relationships work.

Isn’t this one of the keys to any successful human relationship?

(Aside: thinking about this is leading to my next lyrical analysis post on the 1D song that might be hardest for me to listen to: Fool’s Gold. Stay tuned!)

𝖑𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖘𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖞 𝖘𝖍𝖔𝖗𝖙 "...long story short, it was a bad time pushed from the precipice climbed right back up the cliff long story short, I survived...": MUSE foi a pessoa que mais ajudou Fergus a lidar com as consequências, mentais e físicas, de sua batalha com Mor'du.

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕬𝖗𝖈𝖍𝖊𝖗 "...combat, I'm ready for combat...": Apesar dos seus anos de guerreiro terem ficado no passado, Fergus continua lutando e praticando diariamente. E MUSE se tornou um parceiro nessa atividade.

𝕾𝖆𝖋𝖊 & 𝕾𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖉 "...just close your eyes the sun is going down you'll be alright no one can hurt you now...": Por conta de seu passado, Fergus se tornou extremamente protetor com as pessoas ao seu redor e isso é valido para MUSE. Até mesmo quando pega no pé de MUSE, faz as cobranças, é pensando no bem de MUSE.

𝙄𝙉𝙄𝙈𝙄𝙕𝘼𝘿𝙀𝙎

𝕭𝖆𝖇𝖊 "...big mistake, broke the sweetest promise that you never should have made...": Toda ação tem uma reação, e o fato de Fergus ter quebrado a confiança de MUSE foi motivo da amizade entre ambos acabar.

𝖒𝖞 𝖙𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖘 𝖗𝖎𝖈𝖔𝖈𝖍𝖊𝖙 "...even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe all the hell you gave me?...": Antes mesmo de Fergus nascer, o clã DunBroch sempre teve uma rixa com a família de MUSE. Mesmo não sabendo direito da origem dessa briga existente entre as famílias, Fergus se mantem leal ao clã DunBroch e por isso tem uma inimizade com MUSE.

𝕸𝖎𝖉𝖓𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙 𝕽𝖆𝖎𝖓: "...chasing that fame, he stayed the same all of me changed like midnight...": Algumas amizades não mudam com o passar dos anos, com as mudanças que ocorrem ao longo da vida. Contudo, isso não foi o caso entre MUSE e Fergus. Após o casamento e o nascimento dos filhos, a amizade entre Fergus e MUSE foi se enfraquecendo e atualmente ambos não tem mais contato.

𝕴 𝕭𝖊𝖙 𝖄𝖔𝖚 𝕿𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖐 𝕬𝖇𝖔𝖚𝖙 𝕸𝖊 "...when you realized I'm harder to forget than I was to leave and I bet you think about me...": MUSE é outra pessoa que faz parte do passado de Fergus. Nunca chegou a acontecer algo entre os dois, mas sempre permaneceu um "e se?"

andy i knew you’d linger is a chef’s kiss masterpiece the way the angst hits so good and leaves us thirsting for more i can’t wait to see what you’ve planned

i’ve seen a lot of turmoil whether reader should be w steve or eddie bc of reasons a, b, c but i wanna know who you think reader should end up w like in your heart if you were in reader’s shoes who would you choose bc honestly as much as i love steve and love to see him grovel working his way back i’d go for eddie bc reader feels so at home w him like they can be their complete self no stress and have been the happiest they’ve been in a long time

but i’m also a sucker for a good comeback story and if i saw steve realizing what he lost and really making changes to be better for reader and himself it’d be so hard not to fall back into things

either way i love what you’re doing keep up the good work you gorgeous person you 🫶🏻

oh my god you are so sweet! i appreciate your kind words and i’m so happy you like this story and my writing so much! 🥹🫶🏻

to answer your question (and this is not because I’m and Eddie girl, I would’ve answered it this way as well, if it was about other characters) I’d rather have her end up with Eddie (fun fact, he was never supposed to be in this story, it was a spontaneous decision) (and again, i’m not saying this because I’m an Eddie girl). It’s just that, he gives her the things that she wanted from Steve, all these years. And, he asks for nothing in return, he just does them for her because he wants to do them for her and he doesn’t expect her to do anything for him! He adores her, he protects her, he is there for her, he supports her and even shows up at games, just for her! He never wronged her in any way, he is just the sweetest guy ever and I love their chemistry (which happened naturally while I was writing it). Would I have labeled this as a love triangle from the start, then she would’ve ended up with Eddie.

As for Steve, he will do and be better, he will say goodbye to his King Steve antiques. He will grovel and he will try to make it up to her, he will learn and he will become the Steve that we know now, the one that we love. But it’s gonna be difficult for him to get her trust back after all the things he had done to her.

Realistically speaking, he fucked up too much. He abandoned her, knowing that her dad left her. He broke every promise he ever made. He told her that he wasn’t in love with her anymore and that their whole relationship was a lie, he cheated emotionally and got together with a different girl just two days after he had dumped her. That is bad enough but there is so much that happened during their relationship too.

He was only eighteen and he was a really insecure and weak guy and he won’t be the same later on but getting her trust back in the future, won’t be easy at all.

The ending is still very much open but I’m just going with the flow right now and trying to figure out how they should end up together
